Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 17: Continue to escalate the issue with Emperor Taizong

"Your Highness, you are the saint of poetry!"

These words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples that lingered in the air for a long time.

After a long while, some students gradually came back to their senses from their shock as if they had just woken up from a dream.

As men of letters, they were well aware of the difficulty of writing poetry, especially to compose three such exquisite poems in a short period of time, which was simply an impossible task.

But Li Chengqian did it easily, and even wrote three poems in different styles in one breath, which impressed them all.

"Poet Saint!" The students shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the street.

"I think it is not only that, but the poem of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only full of poetic sentiment, but also contains a kind of lofty spirit and aspirations, which should be regarded as poetic aspirations."

"The poem contains both the heroic spirit of 'The spring breeze is blowing, the horses galloping, I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day', the domineering spirit of 'Wait until September 8th in autumn, my flowers will bloom and all other flowers will die', and the ambition of 'The gates of the nine heavens will be opened, and all nations will come to pay homage'. This should be the ambition of the poem, the ambition of the Tang people, and all nations should come to pay homage."

Luo Binwang stood in the middle of the crowd and shouted loudly.

After saying this, he bowed deeply to Li Chengqian to express his respect and admiration for him.

He thought he was extremely talented and that being able to compose impromptu poetry was a remarkable achievement, but today, compared with Li Chengqian, he realized that he was just a drop in the ocean.

"hateful!"

This situation made Wei Wang Li Tai furious. He thought he was shooting himself in the foot by using his own power to create a stage for Li Chengqian.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's reputation will reach its peak, and King Wei realizes that he has done something extremely stupid.

The wind has changed!

Fang Xuanling looked at the willow leaves swaying in the wind, pulled down the curtain, and stepped back.

"Poet Saint! Poetry Aspirations!"

The students were all shouting that Li Chengqian had completely established his foothold in the literary circle, and anyone who wanted to manipulate public opinion in the future would have to think twice.

In a peaceful world, fame is important; in a peaceful world, force is the only thing to do.

"Everyone, I have already expressed my opinion and composed a poem on the top of a mountain. I hope you will not be modest."

Li Chengqian smiled and was very satisfied with this gathering.

"Get out of the way!" At this moment, several guards broke into the crowd and headed straight towards Li Chengqian.

"It's the eunuch in the palace." Li Chengqian was not surprised, but just smiled bitterly helplessly.

"Wenmin!" Li Chengqian waved his hand.

"There is something going on in the palace. Please help me entertain all the seniors. Don't be negligent."

If you use the mouth of a scholar well, you can become famous all over the world; if you use it poorly, you will be infamous for eternity.

"Luo Binwang is knowledgeable. Let's find out more about him and see if we can bring him to Chongwenguan."

He is one of the Four Great Heroes. He may not be capable of governing the world, but when it comes to recording the world in poetry, no one can match him.

As for Li Chengqian, that was plagiarism. If he were to create something real, he wouldn't even be able to get the rhyme right.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take care of it." Gao Wenmin nodded. This was his first chance to perform and he had to do it perfectly.

"Your Highness, now that His Majesty wants to summon the Crown Prince to the palace, it must be because of the matter between Master Cheng and Master Li. The Crown Prince only needs to deny it, and there will be no trouble."

Gao Wenmin also figured out what this was about and it must be another complaint.

Li Chengqian nodded and walked towards the eunuch. "Your Highness, His Majesty summons you to the palace."

"I know it!"

In full view of everyone, Li Chengqian walked away with his head held high.

"Don't think too much, everyone. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely busy with government affairs. He only took time out to meet you today because he heard that you students were coming."

Gao Wenmin shouted loudly, interrupting everyone's endless reverie.

"Would you like to go to Chongwenguan to discuss knowledge?"

"Can we also enter Chongwenguan?"

The senior students were all shocked. This was unimaginable to them. In their minds, anyone who could enter the Chongwenguan in the Eastern Palace was the son of a high-ranking official of the time.

"Of course, Chongwen Hall, as its name suggests, is a place where scholars discuss ancient and modern literature. Of course, we can enter."

"Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eager to recruit talented people. If you all have great talents, why worry about not having a place to use your talents?" Gao Wenmin said.

Today, the East Palace is extremely lively, with countless students pouring in, but they are only limited to the Chongwen Hall.

The Eastern Palace was courteous to the wise and humble, and invited students from all over the world to discuss strategies for governing the country.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin raised his head, his eyes sharp, and looked towards the palace gate. His cheeks were as sharp as a knife, and a trace of disappointment and anger flashed in his eyes. His voice sounded coldly: "Prince, do you know your mistake?"

Li Shimin's tone was still as cold, with a sense of deep disappointment and dissatisfaction. He had high expectations for Li Chengqian and would not tolerate any flaws as his successor.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Do you still think that I am the one who is plotting a rebellion?"

Li Chengqian responded tit for tat, showing no sign of weakness. His eyes were firm and sharp, and he stared at Li Shimin without flinching.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became depressing. Everyone was shocked. How could they keep talking about treason?

"You..., are you trying to piss me off to death?" Li Shimin exhaled heavily, his face flushed red. His breathing became rapid, and he was obviously irritated by Li Chengqian's answer.

"Your Majesty, calm down! The prince just made an unintentional mistake."

Wu Cairen on the side spoke cautiously, her small hands gently patting Li Shimin's back, trying to calm his anger.

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of persuasion and comfort. She looked at Li Chengqian from time to time, with a different color flashing in her eyes.

Li Chengqian's eyes shrank, and he naturally knew who this talented person was. This person was the ruthless person who almost destroyed the Li Tang Dynasty - Wu Zhao.

He stared at Wu Cairen, and a sense of vigilance and hostility surged in his heart. He knew Wu Zhao's ambitions and methods very well.

They were all high-end games. Li Shimin, Li Zhi and Wu Zhao were all rulers of a country. From now on, they are all opponents.

"Prince, as the crown prince of a country, why don't you pay attention to your own code of conduct? You are a member of the royal family, your status is so noble, how can you just call others brothers casually? Where is the face of the royal family? Where is the dignity of the royal family?"

Li Shimin rebuked, saying that if those people were not descendants of the Duke's Mansion, he would have ordered them to be beheaded long ago.

"In that case, Your Majesty, how do you think you're going to deal with me? Are you going to depose me from my position as Crown Prince?"

Li Chengqian had no way to refute it, so he admitted the charge.

"Cheng Qian!" Li Shimin felt extremely heartbroken and felt the pain of being misunderstood.

He just wanted to warn Li Chengqian about his mistakes and never thought of abolishing his position as crown prince.
