Prince Tian waved his hand and said, "All Shanxi literati are exempt from gifts, please get up quickly! I heard that you are going to hold a cultural poetry conference here today, and I will invite this prince to come and comment? I dare to ask the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Where is the prince?"

"That's it!"

Li Chengfeng took a step forward, his face was solemn, neither humble nor arrogant.

This was the first time that Li Chengfeng saw Prince Tian of Shanxi, and it was also the first time that Prince Tian of Shanxi met with Li Chengfeng.

Prince Tian had heard a long time ago that there was an eighth prince, a genius prodigy in the capital of Chang'an. He was both civil and military, almost unrivaled. He had a good literary talent and could dominate the countless scholars in the court. Even Prime Minister Wei Zheng was once he was

He vomited blood with anger.

In terms of force, the founding generals of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others were ashamed of being inferior to each other and were not opponents. He also relied on his own to quell the Tubo and Turks and rebellion, and to quell the rebellion and civil strife of the five surnames and Qiwang, thus becoming famous throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Today, when the prince of Tian looked at his face, he was shocked because he actually saw the emperor's appearance on Li Chengfeng's face? There seemed to be a dragon flying between his eyebrows. In other words, Li Chengfeng in the future is very likely to be

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

So Prince Tian hurried forward, raised his hands and bent down and said, "Prince Tian, ​​Prince Liu Yongzhi, Shanxi, paid homage to the Eighth Prince!"

All the scholars were shocked and thought to themselves that Prince Tian was not the official in the capital that hated the most? Even if the eighth prince had a higher status than him, at most he would just pay verbal greetings. How could he do such respectful actions?

In fact, Prince Tian was frightened by Li Chengfeng's aura.

Li Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "No gift, no need to pay a visit!"

"Okay Eighth Prince, I heard that the Eighth Prince is coming to meet our literati and scholars from Shanxi, so I specially invited Mr. Fang Yuan, a great scholar in Meihua Pavilion!"

As he said that, Prince Tian reached out to invite the white-bearded old man behind him.

The old man with white beard was arrogant and arrogant, with nostrils facing the sky, and said softly to Li Chengfeng: "I am a square robe, pay homage to the Eighth Prince!"

"Oh? You are the great scholars of the Plum Blossom Loft?"

“That’s right!”

"I wonder who you are following?"

"My teacher is Li Junran, a famous Confucian monk in Shanxi. He is the 25th generation disciple of Mr. Confucius represented by Confucianism. As his student, I am the 26th generation disciple of Confucius' Confucianism!"

"Oh, so that's it!"

Li Chengfeng nodded slightly. No wonder this man is so arrogant and does not want to be Confucius' 26th generation disciple? But the time when Confucius was born and passed the ball in the Warring States Period was hundreds of years ago. Who can know whether the Plum Blossom Pavilion was really established by Confucius.

Confucianism sect?

"Okay, I don't say much. I came to Shanxi to meet all the literati and scholars. In fact, there are three things to tell you! Since everyone is here, I'm also blunt!"

Li Chengfeng cleared his throat and continued, "First, the cultural pioneer event held by you Shanxi Bachelors seems to be promoting cultural progress, but in fact it is criticizing the incompetence of the political and cultural affairs of the Tang Dynasty, criticizing too many military generals and incompetent literati.

, My father Li Shimin knew about this. He was furious when he heard this and almost sent troops to suppress the scholars from Tianxu Pavilion in Shanxi!

Second, my father's original intention was to arrest all the literati who participated in the cultural pioneer activities. It was me who took the initiative to ask me to solve this matter. My father did not send troops to arrest you, otherwise you could still talk to me here.

No?

Third, the so-called literature is not first, martial arts is not second. The comparison in literature is actually more powerful than martial arts, but this is not a good thing, so I came here this time to tell you that there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven.

The Tang culture that we criticize is actually criticizing your own incompetence.

What are you learning? You just want to learn from others to engage in cultural uprisings? You must know that you are all people of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how outstanding your works are in literature, as long as the emperor gives you the order, you will all die. Who cares about your talents?

How many fights? Those who don’t accept it will be killed!"

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking with a domineering voice, all the literati and scholars present were stunned and speechless in an instant.

Because Li Chengfeng was right, they relied on their little literary talent to act as a hero in the Shanxi region and launched a cultural uprising. It was so funny.

If Li Chengfeng hadn't been unable to bear the Tang Dynasty culture, he would not have come forward to stop this matter. He would just have to send troops to wipe out the place.

When he came to his senses, Luo Binwang, Prince Tian and others were also scared and sweated.

How dare the emperor act rashly? You should know that as long as you are in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is the world of Li Shimin. No matter what uprising you engage in, you are questioning Li Shimin and criticizing Li Shimin. As the emperor, Li Shimin can easily pinch those people who are dissatisfied with him.

Death is as simple as stepping on an ant to death.

Even the big family like the Five Clans and Qiwang was wiped out by Li Shimin. What are you literati and scholars? Just by your few mouths, you can start the people of Shanxi to rebel and rebel with you?

Prince Tian sighed and said, "Alas, the Eighth Prince is not invisible. Recently, the people of Shanxi have been poor and cannot eat. The local literati think that the emperor has a prejudice against the people of Shanxi. Why do they only care about the prosperity of Chang'an City?

Regardless of the lives of the people in Shanxi? For a time, Shanxi literati were dissatisfied and launched these cultural pioneer activities. They just wanted to rely on their own strength to make the emperor pay attention to Shanxi, open canals, transport supplies, open up trade, and allow the people of Shanxi to

We are strong and prosperous!”

"Then you can write to the emperor instead of revolting here, do you understand? After my father finished the work at his hands, he will naturally come to deal with your affairs!"

"Yes, yes, what the Eighth Prince said is reasonable. Then we will not do this cultural activity. Send all local literati and let them go home and rest!"

Prince Tian is still very self-aware. He knows how could he go against the entire Tang Dynasty with his own strength alone? Even the aura of the Eighth Prince could oppress him, let alone the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

If Li Shimin really came here, he probably would have scared Prince Tian to the ground.

On the side, Luo Binwang's face was not very good either. He sighed, with a look of sadness and anger on his face, but he did not speak.

Many literati and literati were also afraid, so they simply never dared to criticize the Tang Dynasty culture again.

However, some stubborn people are not afraid of death or fear that the world will not be in chaos.

Look, a man named Liukongxu stood up and looked at Li Chengfeng and said, "Eighth Prince, this cultural pioneer activity must not be cancelled, otherwise how can we be worthy of the common people in Shanxi? We must use

In my own way, let the emperor notice our existence because we don’t have time to drag it down any more!”

"Okay, since that's the case, I, Li Chengfeng, will fight!"

Li Chengfeng's eyes were like a torch, without fear, and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "Then come on, I, Li Chengfeng, will represent the scholars of the entire Tang Dynasty court, and face all you Shanxi scholars and great scholars. If you lose, be obedient and be cooler wherever you are.

Go and rest!"

"What if we win?" Liu Kongxu asked.

Li Chengfeng said: "If you win, I will return to Chang'an City immediately and ask my father to distribute 100,000 taels of gold to provide disaster relief to Shanxi. If my father doesn't, I, Li Chengfeng, will pay the money!"

"What? Ten, one hundred thousand taels of gold?"
