Chapter 261 Empress, General Yuchi wrote a poem, General Cheng
Chapter 261: Madam, General Yuchi has written a poem, General Cheng has also written a poem (please vote at the end of the month)
"What do you think, ladies and gentlemen?" He is indeed a benevolent king, and he even asked all the gentlemen when he came up with the title of a poem.
"..." All the civil and military officials were a little confused, and Yuchi Gong even raised his fingers to count. Can this damn girl name a poem?
The group of civil servants were also shocked by the long and smelly poem named by the overly excited Li Shimin, which was like an old woman's foot-binding cloth.
However, Li Shimin, whose face turned red with excitement, didn't notice it at all. He only knew that this poem would definitely be immortalized.
The name of this poem just shows the style of the Zhenguan period in the Tang Dynasty. Since it is named, it deserves to be more detailed.
If it weren't for the worry that everyone would be unhappy, Li Shimin felt that he had already remembered the seventy-two-character poem's title, and it would be best to add some remarks.
"Ode to Chrysanthemums for the Double Ninth Festival Banquet in the Liangyi Hall on the eighth day of the ninth month of the eighth year of Zhenguan in Chang'an" is almost 20 words long, and can be combined into a five-character quatrain.
Cheng Chubi was complaining crazily in his heart, but on the outside he showed a look of tears of gratitude and saluted Uncle Li.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the title of the poem."
Changsun Wuji also stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, with a look of joy on his face.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, when countless literati and poets recite this masterpiece in the future, they will definitely be able to recall the magnificent scene of Chang'an filled with golden armor in the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty."
These civil servants also offered their own flattering and flattering remarks.
Of course, most of them praise the poem "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty" for its good, wonderful, and awesome title.
As for Cheng Sanlang's poems, haha... If we can say no without conscience, we are already very worthy of you bunch of rough old men.
Especially when they saw the group of people grinning and swaying around with joy, and continuously applauding the military officials, it made them feel even more uncomfortable.
Today's Double Ninth Festival banquet was originally thought to be a good day for the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty to give full play to their talents and art.
As a result, a stupid boy who had eaten bear heart, leopard gallbladder, and drank wolf heart and dog lung soup took away all the limelight.
What the hell is this girl called... Huh? Bear's heart, leopard's courage, wolf's heart and dog's lung soup, could it be these things, maybe... maybe...
Just when the civil servants were deep in thought, outside the main hall, the men in many civil servants' families all shuddered in unison.
Quan Changan's dogs also seemed to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere. They all tucked their tails between their legs and got back into the kennel to tremble.
Even the sound of a lone wolf howling at the moon in the countryside conveys a sense of desolation.
There are also bears who take supplements in late autumn and are digging holes desperately. This year’s hibernation shelter will have to be twice as deep as in previous years to feel safe.
Only by lying among the branches and leaves can those golden leopards find a trace of warmth and security in this indifferent world.

Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction. He turned around and raised his hand to signal to his father, Emperor Li Yuan.
Li Yuan nodded slightly and strode forward. "Mr. Cheng...Cheng Sanlang, what are you doing in a daze? Come here."
Cheng Chubi hurriedly took a few steps and bowed conscientiously to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Very good, you kid. I thought you were just a make-up, but I didn't expect you to be able to create such a masterpiece that will surely be passed down to future generations."
"It's not in vain that I and the emperor brought out the lottery. Once you take it, it's all yours."
"I thank the Emperor and His Majesty for your grace..." Cheng Chubi looked at the jade belt in his hand and the beautiful jade pendant with an antique shape, feeling delighted.
As a result, instead of letting go, Li Yuan, a dark-faced old man, came forward and threatened in a low voice.
"Boy, next time you come to the palace, if you forget to give me something good again, be careful that I will reward you with a crystal bottle."
"!!!" Cheng Chubi's face turned dark. Damn it, boss, you've had enough. Crystal bottle warning...
Li Shimin next to him seemed to be aware of this and looked over with a suspicious look on his face.
Faced with Li Yuan's threat and His Majesty's suspicious eyes, Cheng Sanlang could only reply with a reserved and shy smile.
"Next time I have a holiday, I will definitely go to Da'an Palace to check the emperor's health and take care of himself."
"Well... I'm not in vain for my kindness, hahaha..." The black-faced old man left with satisfaction.
Cheng Chubi held the two treasures, one was the jade pendant of Emperor Li Yuan, and the other was the jade belt of Uncle Li.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Chubi lowered his head and glanced at his waistline, and then subconsciously turned his head to glance at the middle-aged and fat Uncle Li.
I saw his obviously bulging figure like a beer belly, tsk tsk...
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's face turned dark immediately, if it were not for the concern that all the civil and military personnel of the dynasty were present at the scene.
I really wanted to kick this bastard who was looking at me wildly with my toes to the door of Suzaku.
When Cheng Yaojin saw his own son looking at the jade belt with a troubled expression, he laughed and snatched it away.
"You don't need this thing, dad will put it on for you first..."
Then he tied it around his waist, took off his original belt, and threw it to Cheng Laosan.
Then he walked in the direction of Wu Chen with a showy look on his face, making the envious, jealous and hateful old brothers laugh and scold him.
Li Shimin also shook his head helplessly. At this moment, with a wave of his hand, the sound of chimes started again, and the sound of silk and bamboo played again.
Cheng Chubi also hung the jade pendant to his waist, facing the envious and jealous eyes of all his friends, and walked happily towards the outside of the palace.

In the harem, at this moment, all the concubines and concubines of the kings also gathered in the Lizheng Hall where Queen Changsun was.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of Liangyi Hall, this place seems much quieter and more peaceful, and there is no shortage of sounds of silk and bamboo.
There was singing and dancing among the lights and shadows, and the concubines and princesses were also chatting and laughing in low voices.
Luxurious palace attire, swaying gold and silver steps, and various gold and precious ornaments and jewelry all looked more gorgeous and sparkling under the light.
Empress Changsun sat peacefully on the throne. From time to time, when the princess or concubine came to propose a toast, she would touch her lips slightly to signal.
From time to time, eunuchs would come quietly and recite interesting stories or elegant events from the Liangyi Palace ahead to the Lizheng Palace.
Especially when courtiers began to compose poems and poems, eunuchs stood at the entrance of the palace and recited each poem.
For the concubine, princess and the eldest grandson queen to comment on.
In particular, the poems of Changsun Wuji, the uncle of the country, were most praised by the princesses and concubines.
Empress Changsun, however, kept smiling gently and nodding her head, but did not express any further opinions.
My brother certainly has some talent, and this poem about chrysanthemums is not bad, but it is not as good as these people praised it.
It was just because of her own reasons, Empress Changsun knew very well.
Wu Mei, who stood beside Empress Changsun and was responsible for pouring wine for Empress Changsun, also saw clearly.
After that, several more poems about chrysanthemums were transmitted. Although there are not many excellent ones, they are all worthy of appreciation.
While the concubines and the princess were discussing one another, suddenly, another eunuch came quickly. "My dear, General Yuchi has also composed a poem."
"???" In an instant, there was a dead silence in the Li Zheng Hall, and the faces that were either beautiful or elegant all had expressions of unbelievable surprise.
Empress Changsun was confused for a while, and then asked in a low voice uncertainly, "Is it General Yuchi Jingde?"
"Exactly." The eunuch replied respectfully. Then he recited General Yuchi's poem.
As for the concubines, the princess was in a mess. They were all educated and intellectual women, although their attainments in poetry were not very high.
At any rate, I still have a level of appreciation, but what is this thing created by General Yuchi? Is it a jingle?
After hearing the last line of the poem I composed for the Double Ninth Festival, Queen Changsun buried her head deeply and clutched the heavy queen's robe tightly.
It took a while for the wise empress of the Tang Dynasty to regain her gentleness and calmness, and she was about to open her mouth and give her a small thumbs up.
Another eunuch was seen running in, rolling and crawling. "My dear, General Cheng has also written a poem..."
