Chapter 6 What do you want that fame for?

Li Tai cried to Li Shimin like a child in grievance.

Li Tai was determined to win the position of Minister of Works, but his father had other arrangements, so he had to give up.

Li Tai's scheming was far better than Li Chengqian. In his early years, Li Yuanai won 30,000 Tongbao in Qingniao Bofang and forced him to pay tribute every month. This Qingniao Bofang was Li Tai's main financial income and the key to winning people's hearts.

But because he couldn't find an opportunity, Li Tai kept enduring it.

Li Yuanai was born and seized the Minister of the Ministry of Works of the Procuratorate, but Li Tai did not respond at all.

Until he learned about Li Yuanai's Bashui Villa, Li Tai knew that the time was ripe.

Li Yuanai did the matter with a cart very beautifully. He was named a wise king and was not involved in right and wrong.

But Bashui Villa knocked a stick to the ground. A prince with the name of a wise king used his manor to make friends with the people in the scholars on a large scale without any scruples. What are the plans for winning over the people in the scholars?

If it were other princes, this would not have been the case.

But Li Yuanai is different. He has a very high status in the hearts of the people. Now he has started to make friends with Shilin again. When he carefully tries to investigate, he is a little scared.

Li Tai made a fuss about this report, but in fact he was secretly punishing himself.

Li Shimin is located in the deep palace and really doesn't understand this matter. He asked curiously: "The Bashui Villa at the Sixteenth is really attracting so many Shilin people?"

Li Taidun felt that there was something to do and hurriedly said, "How dare I lie? Uncle Sixteen intends to arouse the fighting spirit of literati. Now almost all Chang'an scholars are proud to be able to leave poems and inscriptions with the courtyards, stone tablets and plaques of Bashui Villa. Not only Chang'an, but even the Shilin people from Luoyang are coming in groups. Uncle Sixteen has earned himself a lot of fame. He also made a large number of good people, especially the lay Buddhist Dongpo and Wang Zi'an. Their words are so beautiful that they are rare in the world. Child, there are their poems here, so is the father willing to listen?"

Li Shimin hurriedly said, "You must come, Father, listen. How about it compared with Father's latest masterpiece?"

“…”

Li Tai didn't dare to recite for a moment.

After a while, Li Tai read "Drinking on the Lake for the First Sunshine and the Rain After the Rain" and the sentence "The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the long sky are the same color."

Li Shimin also remained silent for a moment, his self-esteem was a little hit, and he asked, "Is this Bashui Villa really as beautiful as the poem?"

Li Tai was not easy to lie, so he said with a tough bullet: "It is indeed a great scenery and a unique flavor."

Li Shimin said with a heart-pounding look: "So you, my father and son go and take a look together. What is the virtue of the sixteen? He can be called the first wise king. In the eyes of his father, this first wise king must be Qingque."

Li Tai was instantly entangled, and he had the intention of rebeling the generals.

As for Li Tai's intention to kill him, Li Shimin didn't care at all.

Just like when he heard Zhang Liang tell Hou Junji that he would treason, it was a trivial matter.

Not worth mentioning.

true and false?

Li Shimin didn't care at all. What's the truth or what's the false?

Even if it is true, can it be a storm?

Li Shimin has absolute confidence in the country he ruled.

However, he was a little curious.

What medicine is my sixteenth brother selling?

Da'an Palace.

"The flowers are light butterflies are chaotic and the immortals are apricots, and the leaves are dense and the orioles are singing to the emperor's daughter mulberry."

"Spring is coming to Feiyun Pavilion, and the night is not yet at night in the bright moon building."

"Good poetry, good poetry! I deserve to be the talented top scholar."

Li Yuanai smiled with his hands, holding a new poem that had just been heard from Bashui Villa, but the poet was a well-known celebrity Shangguan Yi.

In addition to the poem and sentence that he created to create momentum, Shangguan Yi's poem "Spring Day" can be ranked first.

Compared with the rather old-fashioned poems of Yu Shinan, Wang Ji, Yang Shidao, Li Baiyao and Shangguan Yi, there is obviously a bit more elegant and harmonious charm.

Li Yuanai is now familiar with 300 Tang poems, and he can't write them, but he can also read them.

The poems from the Zhenguan period were full of the style of the Southern Dynasty, and the key to real change was the beginning of Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi liked to be based on the charm of elegance and charm. Since Yi was noble and prominent, there were quite a few people who learned his style at that time. People at that time called Shangguan style. The emergence of Shangguan style changed the poetry style of the Zhenguan era. From then on, Tang poetry became a booming momentum. The four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, etc., came up with the trend, achieving the glory of Tang poetry.

Shangguan Yi's poetic talent can be said to be top in this era.

“It’s almost time.”

Li Yuanai said silently, with Mr. Dongpo as the foundation, Yu Shinan, Wang Ji, Yang Shidao, and Li Baiyao as the assistants. Now with the icing on the cake of official rituals, the momentum of Bashui Villa has been fully developed.

Li Yuanai called Luo Tong and his group of Qianniu guards to Qujiang to visit Zheng Hao, the seventh son of Zheng Qi.

"The arrival of the Shang King is a long-lasting welcome!"

Zheng Hao saluted calmly.

"No need to be polite!" Li Yuanai had already gotten used to his identity and waved his hand casually: "Zheng Qi, I am here to introduce you to your wealth, are you interested?"

Zheng Hao bowed and said, "A first-class businessman in the grass-roots businessman can make money, so he is naturally interested in it."

"Bashui Villa, you know!" Li Yuanai said mysteriously.

Zheng Hao bowed and said, "Is there any unknown thing in Chang'an? The Bashui Villa built by the Shang King is well-known. It is said that the manor project is only half completed. If the current scenery can be maintained, the world's number one manor will be the only one."

Li Yuanai said in shock: "I plan to set up a checkpoint with the villa entrance from now on. All those who intend to visit Bashui Villa will need to pay the ticket fee."

Zheng Hao was stunned for a moment. Is there such an operation?

After hesitating for a while, he said, "King Shang, this so-called ticket is a bit inappropriate. The price is not suitable, and the price is not cost-effective. Instead, it will ruin the reputation of Your Highness. For a little money, it is not worth it."

Li Yuanai said patiently: "Who says tickets are the key? Tickets are just a means to select tourists. Besides, I spent a lot of money to repair Bashui Villa. What's wrong with collecting some tickets? If you don't love, what do I want is money. What's the price for fame? Besides, I will open it regularly every New Year, and my eating habits will not be too ugly. As for your eating habits, it's not my hard work."

Zheng Hao has not yet understood the truth.
