Cheng Chuliang was such an awesome braggart that even his father Cheng Zhijie couldn't bear to listen to him.
Do you read a lot? You go to a brothel every day, are you reading all the books in the brothel?
However, there was one person who liked to listen to Cheng Chuliang's words and was deeply moved by them.
This person is none other than the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin.
Li Shimin couldn't help but stood up and said with emotion: "Chu Liang said it well: one grain of millet planted in spring will produce ten thousand grains in autumn. There is no idle land in the world, and farmers still starve to death! Why do farmers starve to death?
Whose responsibility is this?”
"This is the responsibility of you officials, and it is even more my responsibility! In my opinion, if all the officials of the Tang Dynasty have this kind of mind, why worry that the people of the Tang Dynasty cannot live and work in peace and contentment?"
"Chu Liang, you are very good! Even I have been educated by your two poems today! After I go back, I must send these two poems to all the officials in the Tang Dynasty so that they can all learn from them!
"
"Well, Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie's meritorious service is unparalleled, and his son Cheng Chuliang is also a hero among men! Today I will marry Princess Qinghe to Cheng Chuliang, and give Chuliang the title of Prince Consort Commander!"
When he heard that Li Shimin actually proposed marriage on the spot, Cheng Zhijie went crazy with joy!
In fact, Li Shimin liked to marry princesses to the sons of heroes, and he usually chose the second son.
Because the eldest son can inherit the title, but the second son cannot.
Li Shimin did this, firstly, to win over these heroes, and secondly, to prevent the second sons of these heroes from having a miserable life in the future.
Just like Cheng Zhijie, even if he doesn't get married this time, he won't be able to escape sooner or later.
But what is rare is to be so praised by the emperor in public. How many people can get this honor?
If someone praised Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Zhijie wouldn't care at all.
But now it is his second son Cheng Chuliang who is being praised!
How could this make Cheng Zhijie not overjoyed?
This bastard boy, in all his life, this is the first time that I have been so embarrassed!
Alas, you have grown up so much. You are so happy today. I will give you a good beating first when I go back!
Turning around, Cheng Zhijie found that Cheng Chuliang was still standing stupidly. He couldn't help but walked over in two steps and kicked the idiot to the ground.
"Still not thankful?"
Only then did Cheng Chuliang react and quickly thanked him: "I thank you for your grace!"
After thanking him, Cheng Chuliang returned to his seat and sat down, still feeling confused.
You just became the consort in such a muddle-headed way? It always feels unreal.
And after Cheng Zhijie returned to his seat, his mouth was grinning to the base of his ears, not to mention how much he was grinning.
Then, Lao Yin couldn't stand it any longer than Zhang Sun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes and couldn't help but ask Cheng Chuliang with a smile: "Chuliang, the poem you just composed is really good: It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drips from the soil. Who knows?
Every grain of lunch is hard work! Then do you know when to hoe the ground in that season?"
Cheng Chuliang rolled his nostrils and said proudly: "Of course we hoe at noon! As for the seasons, farmers hoe the fields all year round. Farmers work too hard and have no time to rest all year round."
puff!
But when an official heard Cheng Chuliang's words, he couldn't hold back and spit out the wine he had just poured into his mouth.
At this moment, almost everyone reacted.
Huo, these two poems are most definitely not written by this guy.
You hoe the fields all year round, but your family also grows crops in the fields in winter?
When Cheng Zhijie heard Cheng Chuliang's words, he also realized that something was going to happen.
Listening to this, those two poems co-authored were not written by himself.
Eighty percent of it was written by His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang, and was memorized by this guy.
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
I originally thought that it was because of the high incense burning in my home that this bastard suddenly became enlightened and could write poetry.
Only in the end did I realize that this poem was not written by him at all.
But that's fine. If this bastard really knows how to write poetry and can write it so well, Cheng Chuliang would have to think about whether he is his father or not.
But I absolutely shouldn’t. Shouldn’t this kid just pretend to understand when he doesn’t understand?
Changsun Wuji is such a bad old yin. He just set the trap and let this bastard get in.
At that moment, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but stand up, licking his nostrils and said: "In my land, we are hoeing all year round, and we are busy every day. Old Yinbi, do you have any objections? Do you want to fight?"
At this time, Li Shimin also reacted.
The co-authored poem was not written by Cheng Chuliang at all. It is estimated that these two poems were written by Min'er and then asked by Cheng Chuliang, right?
Hey, despite his silly appearance, this kid is actually a scheming, wily and bad person, just like his father.
As everyone knows, this is really an injustice to Cheng Chuliang.
It's true that Cheng Chuliang memorized these two poems, but he really didn't want to show off deliberately. He just wanted to teach his wife a lesson.
At this time, Cheng Chuliang also felt that there was something wrong with his answer, and couldn't help but ask Li Min: "Your Highness, what season do you go to the fields to hoe?"
Li Min said helplessly: "The crops have not been planted in the spring, so how can we hoe them? We have to wait until the crops grow before we hoe them! We usually hoe them in late spring and summer. There is no need to hoe them in autumn."
, the beginning of autumn, hang the hoe hook, after the beginning of autumn, no grass will grow."
Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but admire at first: "Your Highness, you know so much."
Then he couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Huh? Your Highness, isn't that right? If the crops grow and we go to the fields every day to hoe them, won't the crops be hoeed away in autumn?"
What the hell!
Li Min took a deep breath and patiently explained: "Hoeing means weeding, not weeding out crops!"
"Oh! Oh!"
Seeing this scene, everyone present knew more clearly who was the real author of these two poems.
Thinking about it, it is really unconvincing to say that these two amazing poems were written by an ignorant guy like Cheng Huailiang.
If His Highness Prince Liang did it, then everything would be normal.
However, just now the emperor has personally admitted that it was Cheng Hualiang who did it, so it can only be regarded as Cheng Hualiang's doing.
So much so that in later generations, the authors of these two poems had differences.
Some people say it was written by Cheng Huailiang, who wrote these two famous poems in his lifetime.
Another theory, which is also the mainstream theory, is that these two poems were written by Li Min, King of Liang, but they were only publicized through the mouth of Cheng Huailiang.
At the end of the banquet, Li Min was tipsy.
I had no choice but to drink a lot of wine from Cheng Chuliang and these guys at the banquet.
Fortunately, the alcohol content of Tang Dynasty wine was very low, which was equivalent to that of beer in later generations.
For Li Min, who later became fond of Erguotou, drinking this wine was almost like drinking water.
