Chapter 255 Li Bai
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin from another timeline cried again, feeling a pang of sadness at what Lin Ke had said.
The other ministers present were also deeply moved; their emperor was the best, and no arguments would be accepted!
Wei Zheng: What a cloying bunch of people!!!
……
I really didn't expect the comments in Lin Ke's live stream to get so emotional, but she's about to unleash her "powerful punch"!
"Among all of Li Shimin's ministers, Wei Zheng was probably the only one he both loved and hated. There is a story about this in the Sui and Tang Anecdotes."
"Erfeng often liked birds, as can be seen from the nicknames he gave his children, such as Qingque and Zhinu. The story recorded in Sui Tang Jia Hua begins with a hawk that Erfeng obtained."
"This hawk is so handsome, it's a real heartthrob among hawks, which made Emperor Taizong very fond of it. He often carried it on his arm to admire it."
"Once, he was having a great time playing with the hawk when Wei Zheng arrived. As everyone knows, Wei Zheng was a famous advisor. So when Emperor Taizong saw him, he hid the hawk in his bosom, intending to release it after Wei Zheng left."
"But he didn't expect that Wei Zheng had seen through all his actions. So Wei Zheng gave an example of how ancient emperors' indulgence in pleasure led to the downfall of their countries."
"But Wei Zheng's words were too long, and Li Shimin couldn't bring them up, so by the time Wei Zheng returned, the bird had been smothered. It's said that Erfeng was so angry with Wei Zheng that she cried!"
"Even when Li Shimin was still furious and yelled that he wanted to kill that country bumpkin, it was Empress Zhangsun who persuaded him to calm down."
"However, if it weren't for Li Shimin's tolerance and Empress Zhangsun's persuasion, I don't think Wei Zheng and he would have achieved such a wonderful story of ruler and minister."
"Another time, Wei Zheng scolded the Second Princess for crying and wailing, saying that she was not behaving like an emperor. As a result, the Second Princess was angered and cried again. However, many people in later generations liked their relationship as ruler and minister."
A skilled farmer in the Song Dynasty: If it were another ruthless ruler, Wei Zheng might have been wiped out!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "But Li Shimin really seems like a real person!"
A scholar-official from the Han Dynasty: Oh my! What a wonderful leader!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: *stares* (￢?￢) ?
A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: If someone keeps nagging me, it's really annoying!
……
In another timeline, Li Shimin and his ministers were still immersed in a harmonious atmosphere. Even Wei Zheng didn't say much, and the relationship between the ruler and his ministers was one of mutual respect and harmony.
He never expected that the hawk that Miss Lin mentioned would remind him of the time when he was angered by Wei Zheng!
Hmph! Today, he'll let it slide for Miss Lin's sake!
Wei Zheng, present at the scene: ...Oh no! His Majesty is angry again!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke continued, "When talking about the Tang Dynasty, one must mention Li Bai. A later poet praised him, saying, 'With a single utterance from his embroidered mouth, half of the Tang Dynasty's golden age is captured.'"
"However, among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei and others should be familiar to everyone, and these people were also on good terms with each other."
"Let's start with the poet Li Bai, who was the top poet in the Tang Dynasty. Many people admired him, including a man named Wang Lun."
"At that time, he was in Jing County. He wrote a letter to Li Bai, inviting Li Bai to visit him and telling him that there was a Wanli Wine House and ten miles of peach blossoms in the area."
"So when Li Bai heard this description, he boarded his pirate ship, cough cough, I mean, he was invited. However, after he went there, he said that the reality was too different from his imagination!"
"First of all, there is indeed a Peach Blossom Pool here, but it's just a small, clear pool. Its original name is Peach Blossom Pool. And there is indeed a restaurant here, but only one restaurant, and the owner's surname is Wan!"
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: Pfft! So that's how the Wanjia Hotel came about!!!
"However, Li Bai stayed, enjoying the spring scenery and drinking to his heart's content. After many days, he had to part ways, and Wang Lun spent a large sum of money to give him eight fine horses and ten bolts of official brocade."
"At the time, this gift was of very high value, and he also sent dancers to bid farewell to Li Bai. Wang Lun's sincerity was evident, and thus the poem 'To Wang Lun' came into being."
