Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon throne. He wished he could wipe out all the Turks. But now some people actually asked him to treat the Turks well. Letting them dig coal and have enough food to eat would be considered good treatment.

Zheng Zhengjin saw that Li Shimin was influenced by the censors, so he shook his head and stood up: "Your Majesty, what General Cheng said just now is right. Those scholars who can propose preferential treatment for prisoners are all bookworms.

What are you looking at? I am talking about you. It is good to say that you are a dog with books. People like you are the ones who bring disaster to the country and the people. You are talking about etiquette with Turkic beasts. Bah, those beasts are not worthy.

Your Majesty, in fact, you can treat the Turkish captives with kindness. I suggest that the person who proposed this suggestion should send all his family members to the Turks and let him use etiquette to influence the Turks. "

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Prince Xian said is right. Send his family to the Turks and let him go to the Turks to talk about etiquette and morality with those people."

Feng Deyi's face turned red with anger, and he thought, the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, how could it be wrong?

Pei Ji closed his eyes slightly. He didn't want to get involved. Instead, he wanted to visit Prince Xian's mansion after leaving the court.

The Zheng family, one of the five surnames and seven families, also shared the same idea as Pei Ji. As for the other families, they were too proud to take Zheng Zhengjin seriously.

Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others could not help but hold their foreheads. In the past, it was enough to have one Cheng Yaojin in the court, and now there was someone who was more capable than Cheng Yaojin. How would they live in the future? But on second thought, it seemed that Prince Xian did not need to attend the court, so they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

No one tried to excuse Feng Deyi, but Li Shimin would not punish him, so he said, "I have decided to arrange for the captives to mine and make use of the waste for the Tang Dynasty. Do you have any objections?"

Stop scolding Feng Deyi. Besides, Prince Xian has a really poisonous mouth.

Among the civil officials, Zhang Xuansu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I accuse Prince Xian of being unfilial. His body and hair were given to him by his parents, how can he be a king?"

Li Xiaogong looked at Zhang Xuansu in surprise.
Li Dao Zong also looked at Zhang Xuansu in surprise.
Even Wei Zheng looked at Zhang Xuansu in surprise, thinking: "Old Zhang, you are the most stubborn."

"Your Majesty, what I said was indeed right. This person has read so many books that he has lost everything. The body and hair are given by parents, how can we destroy them? The original meaning of this sentence is to let people know that their bodies are given by parents, and they cannot hurt themselves or commit suicide. Having short hair means you are unfilial? You even misunderstood the meaning of your ancestors' books, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a scholar. Bah. If Confucius were here, he would have ridden a cow to trample you to death." Zheng Zhengjin spoke a lot. Regardless of whether Cheng Yaojin understood it or not, he felt great.

It is actually quite interesting for the military generals to see the literati group eating and drinking. They are not good at talking, but now there is someone on their side who is good at talking, and the literati are left speechless.

Zhang Xuansu was confused. He was a censor and an honest official. But what Zheng Zhengjin said was very interesting. Could it be that they were really wrong? Zhang Xuansu looked at Kong Yingda, meaning: "Have we really misinterpreted the meaning of your ancestor's book?"

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne, trying to hold back his laughter, which was very uncomfortable.

Zheng Zhengjin asked, "May I ask, my lords, do you have any objections to my explanation?"

Zhang Xuansu immediately said, "I was wrong. I misunderstood Your Highness. Please forgive me."

“To admit one’s mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue, and this is what I mean for people like you.” Zheng Zhengjin knew Zhang Xuansu, who later became Li Chengqian’s teacher.

Li Shimin said to Zhang Xuansu: "It seems that many of the ancients' ideas in the book have been misinterpreted. Xuansu, remember to clarify the situation next time."

Zhang Xuansu looked at Zheng Zhengjin gratefully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy." After all, if Prince Xian insisted on holding him accountable, he would have to be punished.

Zhang Xuansu asked, "Your Highness, do you know if there are any sentences in the book that we have misinterpreted?"

Zheng Zhengjin said: "There are so many. If Confucius knew that you misinterpreted the meaning of his book, he would be furious and scold you unfilial descendants. For example, when your fingernails and toenails grow long, don't you trim them yourself?
Of course, there is also the saying "A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen", which you people have taken too seriously. Hey, you say that you are lazy and don't want to go into the kitchen to cook, and you say it is the teaching of Confucius. I am ashamed for you. The original meaning of this saying was to let you kill less, but it became more and more biased later. I am talking about you, the descendant of Confucius, Kong Yingda."

Kong Yingda was also confused, but Zheng Zhengjin's explanation seemed to make sense, so he was determined to visit Prince Xian's mansion. Zheng Zhengjin's firepower alone suppressed the entire civil service group. It can be seen that the firepower was fierce.

At this time, Zheng Zhengjin glanced at Yu Zhining, and then said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, is there a historian in the court now?"

Li Shimin said naturally: "There must be historians at every court meeting. Why do you ask this?"

"Your Majesty, I want to compose a poem and have it recorded by the historian. After all, this poem may be passed down through the ages." Zheng Zhengjin's words instantly made everyone curious. After all, the previous poem "Pei Qian" had already made Pei Ji's grandson famous.

Cheng Yaojin became interested and came to Zheng Zhengjin and asked, "Prince Xian, how about you write a poem for me, Old Cheng?"

"Then let's write a poem, 'Presented to the Temple'. A heart of loyalty supports the country, and two brows lock the temple with worries. A mind determined to administer justice, to repay the emperor's grace of title and salary." This poem was not given to Cheng Yaojin alone, but he wanted to give it to all those who were loyal to the country in the temple of the Tang Dynasty.

"Good poem," Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Daozon, Qin Qiong and others all praised it. Even the civil officials who had been severely punished by Zheng Zhengjin before had to admit it.

"The next poem is written for Yu Zhining, Mr. Yu. It is called "Presented to Yu Zhining"." When Zheng Zhengjin finished reading the title of the poem, Pei Ji's heart skipped a beat. "He is here, he is here with his poem that has been cursed for thousands of years by people in the future."

The historian was also recording it seriously at this moment. After all, this was something that happened in the court.

Yu Zhining had a bad feeling in his heart at this moment. He felt that he was a very upright person and not as arrogant and domineering as Pei Ji's grandson.

"A fifty-year-old groom and a fifteen-year-old bride, with white hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks shed tears in the quilt in the middle of the night, and the pear blossoms overshadow the crabapple tree."

After this poem came out, even the historian couldn't help laughing. Then he also recorded it in the history book.

Li Shimin, sitting on the dragon throne, thought to himself, it was a good thing that this poem was not sent to his father, otherwise his father would definitely cry. But then he thought, every emperor has three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.

Looking at Yu Zhining again, I just felt dizzy.

Many people knew that Yu Zhining had married a concubine some time ago, but no one expected that this idle king would not wait any longer to take revenge.

At this moment, the civil servants, Kong Yingda and others, couldn't help laughing out loud.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, couldn't help himself.

Zheng Zhengjin retired after his success and stood behind Li Xiaogong.

"It took so long for the pear blossoms to overshadow the crabapple blossoms, which elevated the entire poem."

"Indeed, it's the finishing touch."

The world was spinning and Yu Zhining passed out.

Fortunately, there was someone supporting me from behind.

Li Shimin immediately had him taken to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Pei Ji was still terrified and thought: "Oh my god, I knew it would be like this. They say that the pen of a writer is like a knife, but the mouth of the Prince Xian is much sharper than a knife."
