Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Chapter 503 A distinguished guest, Jiangxia King Li Daozong

But in the Ministry of Rites, the new Shangshu Wen Yanbo is not as busy as others.

The same is true of him, open and aboveboard, frank and frank.

For this poem, liking is liking.

For Li Qiu's daily actions, those who should be reprimanded still have to be reprimanded.

So he also discussed and commented on these two recent poems by Li Qiu with his good friend Linghu Defen.

This Linghu Defen is also from a famous family, very knowledgeable and virtuous.

Before that, he had also been compiling history books in the imperial court.

This time, because Honghe Temple and the Ministry of Rites lost face in front of the Turkic envoy Zhisili.

Li Shimin was furious, so he was transferred to serve as the Minister of Rites.

Work together with Wen Yanbo.

Both of them are also true scholars.

It is very rare to be able to get rid of other distracting thoughts when discussing knowledge and poetry.

To get rid of the false and keep the truth is to be consistent.

"Linghu Defen, although the king of Beiping is usually slovenly, he takes credit for himself."

"It's even more rude and lacks rules when doing things."

"But I have to say that the poems he wrote are really impeccable."

"It has its own strength of character."

"He only wrote half of the two lines of the poem "I have wine today, I am drunk today, and I will worry about tomorrow."

"Similarly, the poem about Princess Youle's drunkenness in Furong Garden rarely seems complete."

"But I always feel that there is still something weird, as if there is a missing sentence?"

At this time, Linghu Defen also stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

"Master Wen, what you said is right, there is Princess Le's drunken poem, I also feel that there is something missing."

"It's the same with the poem about shooting Sirius that he gave to Li Jing before."

"Oh, a half-finished poem like this."

"Sometimes, it's really unsatisfactory and secretly anxious."

"Moreover, the poems written by the King of Peking are daunting both in terms of standard and artistic conception."

"It's extremely difficult to complete."

"The dog tail continues the mink, the difference is too much."

……

On the other side, in the Hibiscus Garden.

To the surprise of Li Qiu and others, a rare guest came.

That is Li Yin's father, Li Daozong, the cousin of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and Li Shimin's cousin.

Li Daozong is also a person who Li Qiu has done a lot of proofreading with his impression stream.

In later generations, due to many legendary novels and storytelling, Li Daozong was blackened.

But because of Li Yin, Wu Jue's best friend at that time, Li Qiu deliberately got to know Li Daozong carefully.

The result was unexpected.

Li Daozong and Li Shimin are the same great-grandfather, Li Hu.

He was a brave man, a good soldier in battle.

When the Supreme Emperor raised his troops in Taiyuan, Li Daozong, who was only 17 years old, fought with Li Shimin.

From Ping Dou Jiande to breaking Wang Shichong, it has achieved special effects repeatedly.

When he was 20 years old, he was appointed as the governor of Lingzhou.

Li Daozong defended the isolated city and sent troops to attack, defeating the Turkic cavalry, so he was named the king of Rencheng.

In the war against the Turks in the past few years, Li Daozong was also a major general who took the lead.

At the end of last year, when Li Shimin chatted with Li Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in the palace, when he talked about today's famous generals, he once said.

"In the future, the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty will mainly include Li Shiji, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanche."

"Ji and Daozong will not win or lose a lot with their troops; if Wan Che does not win a big victory, he will be defeated."

For Li Qiu, Li Shimin has always regarded him as his son, and treated him as the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

So every time Li Shimin criticizes the generals of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin never mentions Li Qiu's words.

In the hearts of Li Jing and others, this is also an unspoken rule that is never mentioned.

At the same time, besides being good at using soldiers, Li Daozong is also quite diligent and studious.

He likes to socialize with scholar-bureaucrats, and he doesn't have any airs of a prince, so he is known as a virtuous person.

There is also a saying in the history books: Daozong's army seeks martial arts and bravery, and he is eager to learn from the virtuous. Among the followers, he is called a momentary hero.

Like Li Yin, who is Wu Jue's best friend and a frequent visitor to Furong Garden.

But this is the first time for Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, to come.

Therefore, Li Qiu also paid special attention to it, and went out to greet her directly.

Seeing Li Qiu like this, Li Daozong was also very surprised, and hurriedly said politely: "King of Peiping, it is too polite to bother you to meet him personally."

At this moment, Li Qiu hurriedly waved his hands with a smile, "My lord, it's your first time as a guest in my Furong Garden, so I naturally want to greet you in person."

"And Ling Ai is also a good friend of our Furong Garden Zhonghe and Wu Sui."

"We can be regarded as a family. When you come here, don't be too formal."

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Li Daozong couldn't help sighing secretly.

His age, little Li Shimin is three years old, he is definitely from the generation of Uncle Li Qiu.

Before his daughter always ran to the Furong Garden, Li Daozong was very repulsive at first.

At that time, after all, Li Qiu, who was born as a merchant, had a bad reputation in the upper class.

Especially among the scholar-bureaucrat group composed of the noble families, the word-of-mouth is even worse.

Li Daozong was close to the scholar-bureaucrats on weekdays, so naturally he was even more distant from Li Qiu.

If his daughter imitated Ying Guogong's warrior Xun's daughter, she would have an affair with Li Qiu.

Then where do you put your old face?

But helplessly, he is a general in the army, and he has been leading troops to fight outside all year round. Li Yin, who has been spoiled since he was a child, couldn't control him, so he let her go.

But later, as Li Qiu made more and more meritorious deeds, his talent and fame became bigger and bigger.

Regardless of whether the prestige among the people or the army is getting higher and higher, Li Daozong's perception of Li Qiu has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

And the most important point, he could tell that His Majesty and His Majesty loved Li Qiu so much that it was unimaginable.

For such a young man in his twenties, his prospects are boundless.

The future is limitless.

So, not only did he not exclude his daughter from coming to the Furong Garden, but he even hoped that his daughter, who was getting older, would be able to find such a husband-in-law.

Even if it is to be Li Qiu's concubine, it's no big deal.

Look at Ying Guogong's samurai Xun's so precious daughter, isn't it the same?

Chapter 504 The Happy Event in Princess Gaoyang's Heart

However, what made him feel pity, and what he never expected was that this Peiping king, Li Qiu, turned out to be an extremely upright and dedicated person.

For girls other than Luo Kexin and Wu Jue, she never showed the slightest overstepping.

For Li Yin, he is very polite and respectful.

So Li Daozong sometimes sighed in his heart, don't look at the young king of Peiping, who often does things that do not follow etiquette and rules.

But in essence, he is such a person of integrity.

But look at those scholar-officials, who are full of etiquette and morality, but which one doesn't have three wives and four concubines?

Some are even outrageous, people in their 80s and [-]s, and they still want to marry a big girl with yellow flowers as a concubine!

It is a good thing that Li Qiu has such a good character.

But it's a pity that there is no love between him and Li Yin.

Otherwise, he, Li Daozong, would have saved himself the trouble of finding someone for his daughter.

At this time, Wu Jue was also a little nervous when he saw Jiangxia County King Li Daozong.

After all, I used to be too close to Li Yin, and I often went to Li Yin's house to play.

So, as usual, she greeted Li Daozong with a smile as a junior.

"Wu Jue pays respects to uncle."

"It's been a long time since Wu Jue saw my uncle since the last farewell."

Upon hearing Wu Jue's title, Li Daozong hurriedly smiled and waved his hands.

"Princess Wu, you are now married to the King of Peking."

"You can no longer call it like before, it messes up the seniority."

Li Qiu said with a smile at this time: "We are used to being commensurate with Li Yin, and she is also one of my best friends in Furong Garden."

"Regardless of age or qualifications, you are our elders."

"My lord, don't be too polite."

"This is not a place to talk outside, let's invite inside."

At this time, Li Daozong couldn't help nodding in his heart to Li Qiu and Wu Jue's respect and sincerity for him.

Then he said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll be thick-skinned for once."

After arriving in the living room, Li Daozong also ordered the guards beside him to present a long and very delicate gift box.

"King of Peiping, I also know that the most indispensable thing in your Furong Garden is gold, silver, jewelry, and various valuable items."

"So this time I came, I didn't bring those vulgar things."

"Inside this brocade box is the top-quality chicken blood stone that I have painstakingly found."

"It happens to be given to you as well. I will engrave a seal and use it when I write poems and paintings."

At this time, Li Qiu also heard the words and opened the box, and there was indeed an extremely round, blood-red top-quality chicken blood stone inside.

Ever since, Li Qiu looked at Li Daozong in surprise, "My lord, your gift is too expensive."

"I'm really a little afraid to take it."

Li Daozong smiled at this moment, "Peking King, the little girl is very annoying to you on weekdays."

"It caused you a lot of trouble."

"It should be because I feel sorry for it."

"This chicken blood stone is rare at best, but it's not expensive."

"Anyway, it's also my wish, you just accept it!"

What Li Daozong said is also true.

This time he came here to thank Li Qiu and Furongyuan.

Because Li Yin always runs this way, she is also very familiar with Princess Youle, Changsun Wuji, and especially Changsun Empress.
