The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is also a autumn banquet. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Shimin must hold a banquet in Linde Hall to enjoy the ministers.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet has special significance for Li Ke, because this banquet was the first time he had participated in such a feast since he ascended the crown prince, so he naturally attached great importance to it.

In Linde Hall, Emperor Li Shimin was sitting upright in the upper head of the hall, where Prince Li Ke and Princess Wu Meiniang were sitting on the first row of seats on the left, and Li Ke's lower head were King Li Tai and Princess Yan Wan.

Today, the people who can go to the banquet are all fourth-rank or above in Beijing. The tables are full of purple and purple, with fine wine and delicious food, singing and dancing, which is indeed a prosperous scene.

Before the night fell, the sky was dim and the king and his ministers settled down. With the eunuch singing "Opening a banquet", the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet began.

At the beginning of the banquet, singing and dancing were all together. There was no such restriction between the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and the banquet began to sing and chat. After a dance, after three glasses of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually began to rise, and the Linde Hall was really lively.

Although everyone is in high spirits for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, today's banquet and dance music are second to each other, because all the ministers know that there will be important things to be read out at today's banquet, and this important thing is to be included in the Lingyan Pavilion's list.

Although the ministers were drinking at the banquet, their eyes occasionally glanced at the imperial edicts held by Chu Suiliang and Chu Suiliang who were standing behind Li Shimin. The imperial edict recorded the list of meritorious officials.

After another dance, the banquet was nearly halfway. Finally, Li Shimin suppressed his hand and signaled the dancer at the banquet to disperse. Then he stood up and said to the ministers: "A few days ago, in order to express the merits of the ministers according to the words of the prince, I specially set up a meritorious ministers' pavilion in Lingyan Pavilion of Taiji Palace and painted it on the list of meritorious officials. Not only did he show his merits, show his honor in the world, but he also inspires future generations to follow the sages. Today is a festival event, so let's decide this."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Chu Suiliang to come forward to announce the order.

"A ruler, who drives talents and treats scholars with hearts, will win the hearts of the people. I have been in this place for more than ten years. This has been a tent, and my minions and teeth are exhausted, and my virtuousness and unity are united, so that this is how I have established Lingyan Pavilion to pass on my future generations.

Duke Zhao, Changsun Wuji, noble family and heroic family, and heroic heroes, ranks one of them; Duke Hejian, Li Xiaogong, was famous for his royal family, and was known as the king of military achievements, ranks two of them; Duke Liang, Fang Xuanling, was a talented man of the world, and was good at building Jiajing, and was good at building Jiajing, and was ranked three of them... Duke Ju, Tang Jian, was loyal to the country and was loyal to the country, and was ranked twenty-three; Duke British, Li Ji, the Great Wall of the Family and Country, was named the world, and was ranked twenty-fourth."

Chu Suiliang's voice was clear and bright. Although he was not happy to recite, there were not many lists of twenty-four people. He finished reading in just half a cup of tea. Li Ke sat in the table and looked at the ministers in the table, all of whom were famous all over the world. But when he heard Chu Suiliang's words, Li Ke felt as if he was a student listening to the tutor's ranking in class and exams, and couldn't help laughing.

Wu Meiniang beside Li Ke suddenly smiled when she looked at Li Ke. She didn't know why Li Ke was like this, so she hurriedly resisted Li Ke and asked, "Why did the prince smile? But did Chu Suiliang think wrong?"

The ranking of this list is very appropriate. Whether it is Changsun Wuji, who ranked first or Li Ji, who ranked last, it is reasonable, and no one comes out to say anything, but even when facing such a list, Li Ke, who was the planner, laughed out, Wu Meiniang was naturally a little curious.

Li Ke stopped the smile on his face and replied: "Chu Suiliang has a good idea, and there are no mistakes, but I just think it's very interesting."

Wu Meiniang naturally couldn't guess what Li Ke was laughing, but she just looked at Li Ke and found it interesting, so she picked up a lychee in the table, slowly peeled it open, and stuffed it into Li Ke's mouth, and said to Li Ke: "You are laughing, and you don't know what you are having fun."

What Li Ke was having fun was not saying, but Wu Meiniang could not guess what Li Ke was doing, but just as Li Ke and Wu Meiniang were laughing, Li Tai, who was sitting on Li Ke, suddenly stood up.

Li Tai took out a long scroll from his sleeve, presented it to Li Shimin with his hands, and said to Li Shimin: "I report to my father, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Lingyan Pavilion event is another grand event. It is a double happiness. To celebrate the joy of today, my son specially presented a copy of "Lingyan Pavilion Fu" to present it to his father."

Li Shimin and even the entire Tang Dynasty royal family, if they were talking about the name of martial arts, Li Ke was absolutely the one who held the great masters when Li Xiaogong retired, but if they were talking about the name of the paper, Li Tai was the best among all scholars. At this time, Li Tai suddenly offered a poem, so naturally he deliberately showed it in front of all officials.

Seeing this, Li Shimin knew that his beloved son offered a poem, and he smiled and ordered someone to present Li Tai's "Lingyan Pavilion Fu".

This "Lingyan Pavilion Fu" was a result that Li Tai had only achieved after thinking about it for several days. It was also asked the scholars in the mansion to help him carefully ponder it several times and make a verbatim to have the confidence to present the vocation in public.

Li Shimin was also aware of literature and knowledgeable. Li Shimin took the "Lingyan Pavilion Fu" presented by Li Tai, but he knew that this Fu must be the best one with just a few eyes. Except for Cen Wenben and other people, there were not many ministers in the court who could write it. He was immediately happy and ordered people to read Li Tai's "Lingyan Pavilion Fu" in public, which was obviously very fond of.

"Jiangsu is the ultimate power of the Holy Tang Dynasty, the universe conquered the Qing Dynasty, and the great industry was created again. The fierceness of the heroes was strong, and the Ji Chong Pavilion was above the pavilion. The pavilion was brighter and brighter, and the merits were stronger and stronger. The merits were expressed by themselves, and the rituals were visible. The face of the algae was painted, and the shape of the painting was brighter and the blue painted... Wouldn't you meet the master of the wise and the integrity of the Gongzhong? The stones were sometimes washed, and the water was sometimes exhausted. This pavilion was not hiding, but it showed the prosperity of the heroes."

Li Tai's article "The Pure Land of the Palace" is full of more than 500 words, and its lyrics are luxurious but not lacking in magnificence. It is indeed a masterpiece, and it is also called Li Shimin's face in front of the ministers. Li Shimin looked at the faces of the ministers during the meal, and the smile on his face became heavier.

Just after the recitation of the "Lingyan Pavilion Fu", a secretary, Cheng Qian, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the "Lingyan Pavilion Fu" by the King of Wei is magnificent and breathtaking. Compared with Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu", it can be better than Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu". If you get this good fu, you can pass on the reputation of Lingyan Pavilion for generations. I will congratulate you on Your Majesty."

Cheng Qian's words were heard, and the smile on Li Shimin's face had turned into a hint of lust. Li Tai was his beloved son, and his literary talent was naturally his face.

Li Shimin immediately said, "The King of Wei offered a gift and was deeply grateful for my wishes. He bounty a hundred kilograms and a thousand pieces of Shu brocade."

Li Tai also heard some news when the court discussed the prince's affairs a few days ago. Some civil officials led by Wei Zheng did not agree with Li Ke as the crown prince. If Wen Yanbo had not supported him at that time, he would not know what the result would be. Li Shimin was still prosperous in spring and autumn, and Li Tai would not have no chance. Today, he showed his ability before all officials.

Li Tai leaned over and thanked: "My son is not talented, thank the father for his gift."

The Lingyan Pavilion incident was originally initiated by Li Ke, and today's banquet was Li Ke's first feast after becoming the crown prince. However, when he saw Li Tai asking him to offer a vocation to steal the limelight, Wu Meiniang naturally refused.

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Tai during the meal and asked Li Ke in a low voice: "Today's feast is another grand event. The King of Wei has prepared a masterpiece to congratulate his father. What have the prince prepared?"

Li Ke patted his chest and smiled and said, "I am not just a little poetic work, so why do you need to prepare in advance? Only by doing it with excitement is the best. If you take the exam and do it, you will end up being inferior. Let's take it as your husband."
