Li Po didn't know that several remnants of Li Mi had gathered together and were muttering together, and even dragged Luo Shixin along, otherwise he would have kicked these guys' butts severely.
What he hates most about Cheng Zhijie is that this man always wants to form gangs, and what he does is extremely rough. He only knows how to lead people to drink in large bowls and eat large pieces of meat. During the dinner, he can't stop patting his chest and talking nonsense.
They look like dwarf mules, for fear that others will not know they are bad people and will be disgusted by the smell.
But Li Po also has a banquet tonight, and he will host a banquet in the Tai Chi Hall to entertain his ministers.
This time there were not so many people. Only six ministers and senior officials from three provinces were entertained, which totaled only a dozen people.
Later, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a day for family reunion, and other meanings were weakened or even disappeared. At this time, on the day of Qiuxi, people still mainly worship the moon, and in the eyes of many people, it is an insignificant
It is a dispensable festival, and its status in the north is even inferior to that of the Cold Food Festival.
This is especially true in times of war. People don’t have enough to eat, so how can they have anything to offer sacrifices to?
The ministers arrived at Liangyi Hall one after another. Needless to say, these people were very particular about etiquette. They made it clear who arrived first and who arrived last.
The more prominent the official, the later he has to come. Of course, the emperor will not appear until everyone is gathered.
As for the title of Deyi Chicken Thief, he first went to the Taiji Hall to chat with the emperor for a long time on official business. He waited until it was reported there that everyone had arrived, and then he went with the emperor, thus invisibly overpowering his colleagues.
One of them.
Under his leadership, the Menxia Province has indeed gradually gained importance in the past two years.
However, this is also the norm in the current political structure. Whoever is favored by the chief of the three provinces will have a much louder voice in the court where he is located.
For example, during the reign of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, the Shangshu Province was successively led by Gao Xi, Yang Su, Su Wei, etc., which suppressed the two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia and could not raise their heads.
Gao Xi also held the post of Nayin. In other words, at that time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications was the most marginalized central agency.
Yang Su also first took charge of the province, and then took charge of the province with the order of minister, which was considered a standard promotion at the time.
During Li Yuan's reign, Li Shimin also took control of the Shangshu Province and became the chief prime minister in disguise. He was able to participate in both military and political matters, and no edict issued by Li Yuan could be concealed from him.
There is no way, among the three provinces, the Shangshu Province has broad control, otherwise the Shangshu Province will not be abolished later. It has too much power, and it is easy for powerful ministers to appear.
The two provinces, Zhongshu and Menxia, have been fighting for power with the Shangshu Province for a day or two, but at most they are tied
.
As a result, Su Wei was quickly demoted under the impeachment of the public. Shang Shu Province was hit by this, and his momentum plummeted, and he was restrained by the other two provinces.
Even when they got to Li Po, people could see that the emperor did not want to set up the post of Shangshu Ling. Xiao Yu had already been promoted to Shangshu Ling, and Feng Deyi was in charge of his subordinates. Only Wen Yanbo, the Shangshu of Jin, Zuopushe, disappeared.
movement.
……………………
Li Po is now very satisfied with the political structure of the imperial court, so he doesn't think about making a Zhongshu, a two-sided confrontation in the Privy Council, or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is much more interesting.
Feng Deyi's little move was so obvious that he couldn't hide it from Li Po, but he didn't expose it. What's the point of using small tricks when three provinces are fighting for power?
You didn't expect that it was your fault. You can't blame others for being thick-skinned. As long as it doesn't get to the point where if you agree, I will oppose, and if you disagree, I will approve. Li Po can pretend not to see it, and even provide convenience.
The Fengde Yi people were old and sophisticated, so they naturally knew what to do. They walked with the emperor under the moonlight and looked up at the sky. The full moon had risen in the sky and hung there brightly.
He smiled and said: "It's such a good time, wouldn't the Supreme Being ask me to write poems to remember it again?"
This sentence also made Li Po laugh. At this time, both of them actually remembered the story of the last banquet for the ministers in the Liangyi Palace. The important ministers in the court were all sanctimonious on weekdays, but most of the poems they wrote were terrible.
Li Po was very embarrassed.
"Fortunately Duan Congli is not here, otherwise he would not have to go to the Heavenly Palace to take a closer look this time? Or go to the Moon Palace to see if Fairy Chang'e is at home?"
Well, Duan Lun is a typical Kansai aristocrat, and he is very careless in literary affairs. The last time he wrote poetry, he wanted to go to Nantianmen to take a look, but I don’t know who gave him the courage.
Feng Deyi also laughed. When the emperor was in a good mood, his words were particularly interesting, and he always got to the point, making people feel close to him unconsciously.
Of course, when he gets angry, his words are sharp and he is so cunning and mean that people can't resist him.
But as a servant, you must be obedient and not just listen to jokes. At this time, Feng Deyi said in his heart, it seems that the emperor has a very good impression of Duan Lun...
Duan Lun was arrogant and did not like his colleagues, but he was straightforward, chivalrous and talented. It was not surprising that such a person was highly appreciated.
I thought about it for a while and put it aside.
Duan Lun was an in-law of the eldest grandson Shunde, and he had been recommended as a scholar before. Moreover, Duan Lun married Li Yuan's eldest daughter, while Feng Deyi's wife was from the Yang family of Hongnong. Now it seemed that they were natural political enemies.
Thinking of this, Feng Deyi sighed secretly. Duan Lun himself was actually nothing, but his father was the former Minister of War, General Duan Wenzhen. This man died more than ten years ago, but his legacy still exists.
Moreover, Duan Lun was still in his prime, but he, Feng Deyi, was old, so even if he wanted to punish Duan Lun, he would not take action easily.
It is better to be a white-headed man than to bully a young man into poverty. When he lived to the age of Feng Deyi, he understood this truth very well.
Of course, in Feng Deyi's view, it does not take much effort to correct Duan Lun. He is very self-righteous. One day when he comes to the imperial court, he only needs to be provoked a little bit, and he may have to speak nonsense. No matter how tolerant the emperor is, when the time comes,
There is no room for him either.
Moreover, this man likes to talk nonsense after drinking, so it is not surprising that he would spread rumors.
Old Fox Feng's mind just turned around and he came up with no less than ten ways to attack Duan Lun and Duan Congli, but he had no intention of doing so now.
……………………
"The Supreme Lord's night banquet with the ministers would be boring if there were no poems to entertain the ministers. In fact, the Supreme Lord does not need to worry that the ministers and others will not be able to come up with good verses. There was no preparation for the previous time...
Since the Supreme Being ascended the throne, he has been diligent in political affairs and loved the people like his son. The ministers and ministers often met the Supreme Being in the Taiji Hall. Everyone talked privately. It was a blessing for the people of the world that the Emperor was like this. Therefore, people seldom entertained the Emperor with poems and songs.
.
So he also presented his ugliness in front of the Supreme Being, so that I can make a bet with the Supreme Being. Everyone came here in response to the imperial edict, so they must be prepared. If the Supreme Being does not believe it, he can ask the ministers to compose poems to entertain the festival after the meeting. Everyone will definitely have something to say.
Excellent work presented."
Li Po was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought Feng Deyi wanted to persuade him not to let his ministers compose poems, but instead he said this. It makes sense after thinking about it.
After all, there are only a few people in the world who are eager to be talented. Many people actually prepare some poems at home, and then show them out when the occasion arises. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, farewells, welcomes guests, etc., you just need to prepare
With these, you can cope with most situations.
For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival poems on August 15th were not prominent in the world at the time, but later they became a major category. He himself remembered several of them, and his ministers were all people with great ambitions. After the last sudden attack, these poems
If you don't learn well, you will see ghosts.
Li Po nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's wait and see?"
A very important part of the banquet in the palace, and composing poems in response to imperial edicts, was difficult to produce because of the seriousness of the occasion. However, if this part was missing, the banquet would lose its luster.
Feng Deyi mentioned this not just to liven up the atmosphere during the banquet. It requires skills to flatter the emperor. Now the heat was on, so Feng Deyi said: "The Supreme Being is also good at this, so why not take this opportunity?"
How about letting me and others show their talent?"
If it had been Li Yuan or Yang Guang, Feng Deyi wouldn't have to go through such a big detour.
But the person in front of him was a bit special. Feng Deyi had been observing it for a long time, but he still didn't understand where this person's talent came from. Poetry really requires talent.
But having said that, everything else is ordinary, even rough, except for the poems that leave people speechless. Feng Deyi has never heard of such a person. Even if he is talented, he is not like this.
Innate method, right?
After all, poetry must be based on literary talent. Even the article is nonsense, how can you make a good poem? Poetry is an advanced version of the article, and it extracts the essence of the article. The foundation is not solid.
There is no poetic talent at all.
But the emperor was so strange. Feng Deyi specially collected the emperor's poems and fragments that had been circulated. He had to admit that the emperor was indeed a poet.
Back then, a song about joining the army had already spread all over the world. This year, there is another song about Tong caring about ancient times, which is also amazing.
And with these, Feng Deyi dared to flatter him, otherwise he would probably slap him on the horse's leg.
The ladder was delivered just in time, and Li Po was really interested. He hadn't shown off in front of others for a long time, so he pretended to be a good person, "I'm afraid that once the poem is published, no one will dare to write Mid-Autumn Festival lyrics."
At first glance, Feng Deyi almost fell to the ground. Did he flatter him too hard and make the horse lame?
When he came back to his senses, he immediately forced out a smile. Normally, the words would come to his lips without even thinking, but at this time, he was speechless. No matter how he said it, it didn't feel right.
Li Po turned his head and looked at the old fox's expression in the moonlight. He couldn't help but laugh. He patted the old man's shoulder and said, "You are my prime minister. You are one of the best in the court. Don't think about these nonsense in the future."
How can you help me manage the country and the country with such a small matter, is it no better than anything else?"
Feng Deyi felt a little awe-struck, and immediately bowed and said: "What the Supreme Lord said is that I have learned the lesson."
