Chapter 12 Fighting Poems
"Fourth brother?" Li Yan hurriedly stood up and saluted. The fat man in the lead was Li Tai, King of Yue. His nickname was Qingque. He was the second son of Empress Changsun. Li Tai was talented and intelligent. Li Shimin loved him very much. Even Li Yan's third brother Li Ke was not as good as him. It was the biggest threat to the position of Prince Li Chengqian.
"Attend Your Highness, King Yue!" Everyone who was sitting there hurriedly stood up to salute. They could fight with Li Yan, the King of Liang, but they did not dare to lose their courtesy when they were born to Li Tai.
"Hahaha~, I guessed outside the door that it must be Miss Yunni, which was indeed not as expected!" Li Tai ignored Li Yan and everyone's salute, and walked straight to Yunni and said kindly.
Li Yan was furious. Historical books said that Li Tai was very proud. In addition to being very polite to those with talented people, he was disdainful to others, and even had a bad relationship with ministers in the court. Unexpectedly, he was also so disdainful to his younger brother. This made Li Yan very annoyed. Li Xiaojie and others were also very embarrassed. Li Yong was even more angry. He wanted to have anger several times but endured it again.
"Your Highness of Yue is a rude. The little girl's piano sound can be as good as the king of Yue, which is a blessing for the little girl!" Seeing that the person coming was Li Tai, Yun Ni immediately became enthusiastic and said with a smile. Talented people are indeed popular everywhere. When Yun Ni accompanied Li Yan just now, she never showed a trace of smile.
"Haha~ Miss Yunni is too modest. Who doesn't know that your piano skills are the best in Chang'an? Only His Highness King Yue is worthy of enjoying such fairy music!" A guy immediately behind Li Tai jumped out and said, not only praising Yunni and Li Tai, but also demoting Li Yan and the others. The implication is that Li Yan and the others are not worthy of listening to Yunni playing the piano.
"Who is this bastard?" Li Yan pressed his anger and walked to Li Yong and asked.
"This guy is called Chai Lingwu, Princess Pingyang's son, and her brother-in-law, and his wife is Princess Baling." Li Yong said gritting his teeth. Compared with the people brought by Li Tai on the opposite side, their identities are not a little worse, so people have to endure whatever they say. Moreover, this is not the first time, and Li Yong and the others are almost getting used to it.
"Liulang, I want to hold a poetry meeting here. You take people to the Dizi Room, so Miss Yunni stay here!" Li Tai, Chai Lingwu and others praised each other for a few more words, then turned to order Li Yan, his tone of speaking was very tough, as if he was to a servant.
Li Yan was even more angry. Although he was a little man in his previous life, he was not so naked and looked down upon. Now he is the same prince as Li Tai, but he is so unbearable to his attitude towards him!
"Hahaha~, the fourth brother's talent has always admired it. However, how can you find these people with a lot of witty affair to make up for the sake of the poems? "Isn't it like a poem meeting with these people? "Li Yan laughed loudly, pointed at the person behind Li Tai and pointed at the person behind Li Tai and scolded Li Tai. He directly scolded Li Tai as a person, so he just wanted to take the trouble, so he simply attacked the person behind him.
When Li Yong and others heard Li Yan's words, they all looked dull, and even Yun Ni looked shocked. No one expected that Li Yan was so bold. The so-called beating of dogs depends on the owner. The person who scolded Li Tai was slapping him in the face.
"Bold Li Yan, you... dare you to scold me?" Li Tai never expected that Li Yan, whom he had always looked down upon, would dare to scold him. He was so angry that he trembled all over. The people behind him were also angry and their faces turned blue, but they did not dare to scold Li Yan in person. After all, Li Yan was also a prince, and the only one who could scold him was Li Tai.
"Huh~? Fourth brother, how dare you scold you? I'm thinking about you. It's really a damaging to mingle with these guys who are gentle and thieves and prostitutes on the surface, which is really abusive to our royal majesty!" Li Yan said with a grievance. When talking about thieves and prostitutes, he deliberately pointed at Chai Lingwu. It would be fine if Li Tai looked down on him, but who do you think you are? You dare to mock this prince?
Chai Lingwu's face was pale when he was scolded by Li Yan. He was Li Yan's cousin and Li Yan's brother-in-law. As the son of Duke Chai Shao of Huo and Princess Pingyang, no one dared to scold him in person since he was a child. Now being criticized by his brother-in-law Li Yan pointed at the nose and was so insulted. It is really the greatest shame I have suffered in my life.
"Stop, I am surrounded by scholars with a full-time and talented scholar. How can you allow you to slander me? Get out of here!" Li Tai was completely lost by Li Yan's aura and pointed at him and cursed.
"Hahaha~, Fourth Brother, you have no problem with your eyes. If these people can be considered talented, then I can also be called a great scholar in the world." Li Yan said with a pretended wild smile.
"It's unbearable! King Liang, you are not bullying others too much!" A stout figure jumped out and shouted. Li Yan had noticed this man long ago. This guy is not old, at most fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is tall and strong. He stood there taller than others. Although he was wearing a long scribe robe, he was muscular and fierce, and he looked like a general, and he stood there very conspicuously.
"This guy's name is Fang Jun, whose courtesy name is Yiai, and he is Fang Xiang's second son." Li Yong said softly in Li Yan's ear. He was so impressed by Li Yan that he dared to challenge Li Tai in person. Is this still Li Yan he knew before?
Damn! This guy is the famous cuckold king in history, and he is still the little loli, Gao Yang's future husband? Li Yan looked at Fang Er hesitantly, and his inner admiration was like the water of the Yellow River. His wife had an affair with the monk in the house, and he could still stay outside the door with righteousness. This noble spirit of communist internationalism is rare.
"Since His Highness, King Liang, looks down on me, why not compete with us to see who is the real thief and prostitute?" Chai Lingwu also woke up from shame and anger, and said loudly with gritted teeth. He immediately reminded Li Tai's people and responded loudly. Li Yan's name is known to everyone. He has never heard of any talent. Moreover, he heard that he had a soul absenteeism some time ago and didn't even recognize words. Such illiterate dares to laugh at others? It's simply outrageous!
"Just compare, aren't you going to hold a poetry meeting? I will compare it to you!" Li Yan laughed in his heart, what you are waiting for is your words. Aren't you going to hold a poetry meeting? I've selected a few 300 Tang poems, and see who is still embarrassed to write a poem?
"Okay, Liulang, since you want to fight poetry, I will help you. I will win two games in three games. If you win, I will leave immediately with you. And as long as you appear in the future, I will never talk about poetry. You will give the question in the first game!" Li Tai also reacted and nodded immediately, and also made such a heavy bet. In order to show his generosity, Li Yan asked the question to give the question first.
"The fourth brother is really happy! If I lose, I will never talk about poetry in front of my fourth brother in the future." Li Yan picked up a glass of wine and said loudly, "Miss Yun Ni talked about the song "The Soul of Plum". Then I will use plum as the title, I will come first!"
After saying that, Li Yan drank the wine in his arms, and thought for a moment and said, "The plum snow has not yet surrendered, and the poet put down his pen and commented on the bill. The plum is three points whiter than the snow, but the snow is a bit less fragrant than the plum."
As soon as Li Yan's poem was chanted, Li Tai and others all changed their expressions. There are countless poems about plum blossoms from ancient times to the present, and there are many famous lines. However, when they heard the last two lines, "Plum beards are three parts whiter than snow, but snow is only one piece of fragrance," almost all famous lines lost their color. This is definitely a quatrain that can be famous for all eternity! But what they couldn't figure out is that such a good sentence was chanted from the mouths of a few people without knowing a single word? God is absolutely crazy.
Looking at Li Tai and others who were stunned, Li Yan felt extremely happy. This song "Snow Plum" was written by Lu Meipo of the Song Dynasty. This guy has no reputation in history. Only two poems about plum blossoms have been passed down. It is precisely because of these two poems that this guy left his name in history books, which shows how high people have evaluated these two poems.
"Okay! What a poem! What a poem!" Yan Bei said for a while before shouting loudly. His eyes were full of fanaticism. He had known Li Yan for so long that he didn't know that Li Yan's poem was so great. After Yan Bei's call, Li Yong and others also woke up and cheered loudly. The eyes of Li Tai and the others also brought some confidence and provocation.
"Hahaha~, Brother Yan is so polite. Today, the Japanese Wang Shi was very excited. I would like to offer you a long and short sentence. I hope everyone will give me advice!" Li Yan was also very proud when he heard others' praise and couldn't help but say again, looking at Li Tai with provocation.
"Beside the broken bridge outside the post station, lonely blooming without a master. It was already dusk and sorrow, and the wind and rain were even more filled with the spring. I had no intention of fighting for the spring, and letting the flowers be jealous. Stones fell into mud and dust, and only the fragrance was as fragrant as before." A poem by Lu You's Bu Suanzi was chanted, and now there are words, but they are called long and short sentences. Not many people are good at it. Li Yan's Bu Suanzi's poem, outlined the image of plum arrogance and self-admiration. The last two sentences are famous quotes that have been passed down through the ages, and they have their own merits from the previous snow plum.
As soon as Bu Suanzi came out, he immediately attracted the praise of Yan Bei, Li Yong and others. He looked at Li Tai and others. The literati who were still arrogant just now all lowered their heads. Some of them refused to admit defeat and were still frowning and thinking hard, but they could not find a poem about plum blossoms better than these two poems.
"Fourth brother, how about these two poems of my younger brother?" Li Yan shook his wine glass and said with a smile. Xiao Yi dared to compete with me, I can't recite you to death! In addition to eating and drinking, what Li Yan liked most in his previous life was classical poetry. I also have to thank Li Yan's grandfather for laying a solid foundation for ancient Chinese literature, which also made Li Yan's later love for poetry different from ordinary people.
Li Tai was also shocked by the poem by Li Yan. No matter which of these two poems are, they are good poems that can be passed down through the ages, but they were written by his younger brother who didn't even know him. Isn't this really unreasonable?
Li Tai couldn't figure it out anyway. When he looked at the people around him, he found that they were like defeated roosters, obviously they had already admitted defeat. Even Yun Ni looked at Li Yan with some inexplicable things, which was obviously shocked Li Yan's talent.
"Haha, Liulang is so talented. I'll admit defeat for me in this game!" Li Tai was considered to have a demeanor. If he lost, he would lose. Although Chai Lingwu and others were unwilling to give up, they had no choice. After all, their talents were not as good as others.
"Yun Ni has eyes but no beads, I hope Your Highness Liang will forgive you!" The most interesting thing is that Yun Ni was very cold to Li Yan just now. Now seeing Li Yan's talent, he admitted his mistake to Li Yan openly, and came up to pour wine for Li Yan himself to accompany him, which caused Li Yong and other guys to scream, but Li Tai and others were blind.
"Haha, Miss Yunni is so serious!" Li Yan drank all the wine, and he was a little unexpected about the speed of the girl's transformation. The prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty were so easy to seduce, and one or two good poems could make her bow.
"The second game should be given by me. Today, everyone comes here to have a banquet and have fun, so they write poems based on the banquet. Who will come first?" Li Tai said with a breath.
"I'll do it~" a white-clothed scholar stood up and said. Li Tai was very satisfied when he saw this person. His name was Wang Zhou, who came from the Wang family in Taiyuan. He had outstanding literary talent but was not very generous. He was best at writing poetry.
"You haven't seen the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky, flowing to the sea and never returning. You haven't seen the mirror in the high hall sad and griefed with white hair, like blue hair in the morning and snow in the evening..." Before Wang Zhou could leave, Li Yan had already started to recite Li Bai's near wine. This is Li Yan's favorite poem in his previous life. He was extremely sad and angry and wild, his words were extremely bold and calm, and he read it with a magnificent and majestic pleasure, and he felt refreshing.
As soon as the two sentences before the wine were compared, Wang Zhou, who was originally full of confidence, immediately retreated with shame. Li Tai and others were also shocked by the momentum in the poem, with shock and disbelief on their faces.
When Li Yan recited the sentence "Master Cen, Danqiu Sheng, don't stop the glass when you are about to drink, but Li Yan changed it to "Li Jiuqiu, King Qinghe, don't stop the glass when you are about to drink." Li Jiuqiu refers to Li Yong, he has the best relationship with himself, and the King Qinghe refers to Li Xiaojie, so here he has the largest seniority.
From the beginning, he turned wild and then turned wild and became angry, and finally turned wild and became wild. Li Yan's mind had sink into the poem, and his posture became more and more indulgent. He even picked up the wine pot and drank it all over and continued to recite it.
The people present were also infected by the wildness in the poem, and their excited faces were flushed and unable to suppress themselves. Even Li Tai couldn't help but beat the rhythm according to the poem, squinting his eyes intoxicatedly. Yun Ni even stared at Li Yan with his eyes shining brightly. If his attitude towards Li Yan just now had improved, then he had become admired now.
When Li Yan recited the last sentence "Huer will go out to exchange for fine wine and exchange for eternal sorrow with you", the whole room became silent, and everyone was either intoxicated or shocked. After a long time, someone breathed a sigh of relief and slowly woke up from the artistic conception of the poem.
"Good poems! Good sentences! Once this poem is released, there is no more work in the world that can be compared with it. The sixth brother is really good at writing!" Li Tai said with both praise and dejectedness. He has always been arrogant and thought that among the princes, he should be the first in the literary talent. However, he did not expect that Li Yan, who had always been disdainful, could write such a wild and prosperous poem, which really made him feel dull. So after he finished speaking, he bowed to Li Yan, turned around and left. Although Chai Lingwu and others were unwilling to accept that Li Yan's literary talent and could only leave with Li Tai.
After Li Tai left, Li Yong and his group immediately rushed over and surrounded Li Yan. The flatteries came like a tide, and Li Yan almost couldn't resist it. Li Xiaojie and Li Jingheng were particularly excited. Chang'an's top dandy circle is also divided into gangs. Their group of dandy belongs to the lowest level, while Li Tai and the others belong to the top level. In the past, they had to give in to people like Li Tai and others, but today they used legitimate means to repel Li Tai and the others. This has to be said to be a significant victory.
After winning such a big victory, Li Xiaojie and Li Jingheng took the lead in drinking wildly, and soon became drunk and started to get drunk. The two big men hugged each other and cried bitterly. Li Yong had long been lying under the table, and Yan Bei's stinky book sour was carrying Li Yan's poems over and over again. These people were quite good wine. The remaining scumbags used the alcohol to drink with the prostitutes who were drinking around them and had already taken off their arms and revealed the true face of a human and wolf. Yun Ni, the girl, was originally pestering Li Yan, but the situation at the scene forced her to take a look with shyness.
