Chapter 665
He had long been accustomed to the Great Tang being inferior to Great Qin, and now suddenly there was a field that had caught up with Great Qin's pace.
It felt a bit unreal.
"Ke'er, is what you said true?"
Li Ke was all smiles.
This matter couldn't be truer.
To confirm, he even went to the flower boat to listen once.
He was sure these songs had never appeared before and were new works of new-style pop songs.
"Your Majesty, your servant confirms it is correct. This matter also proves that Great Tang talent is no worse than Great Qin's.
After a while, we will definitely be able to surpass Great Qin and win the hearts of the people of the world!"
Hahahaha...
Li Er looked up and laughed.
In such a short time, such masterpieces had come into the world.
He really couldn't restrain himself.
How long had it been!
Ever since Qin Mu returned from Tibet, the Great Tang had begun to fall into a nightmare, suppressed by Great Qin everywhere.
Now it was good; finally, there was a field that had hope of surpassing Great Qin.
"Ke'er, who wrote these songs? I want to reward them heavily!"
"This, your servant has not found out yet."
Li Ke felt a bit ashamed.
But this couldn't be blamed on him.
He heard so many good songs on the flower boat last night and wanted to tell his father immediately so his father could be happy too.
He hadn't had time to investigate yet.
Other ministers had also heard rumors of this matter.
Du Ruhui said.
"Your Majesty, your servant heard that within just a few days, all the girls on the flower boats on the Qin Huai River had learned these songs. One passed it to another; I fear it will take some time to trace the source."
Li Er was very excited and subconsciously rubbed his hands.
"Go check quickly; you must find this songwriter. As long as it is someone who has contributed to the Great Tang, I will reward them heavily!"
At this time.
Prince Wei Li Tai stood out.
"Father, writing these decadent sounds is just a minor path; it's not worth treating so grandly. Your servant thinks that songs circulating on flower boats are hard to be considered elegant.
I would like to ask Prince Wu, how did you hear these songs? And how can you be so surprised?"
Li Ke was furious upon hearing this.
This was Li Tai starting the conflict first!
He was originally just reporting to his father and didn't say a single bad word about Li Tai. How did he attract this round of cold sarcasm?
"Li Tai, what do you mean?"
Li Tai smiled without warmth and snorted.
"What do I mean, don't you understand? As Prince Wu, you stay overnight on Qin Huai flower boats, ruining the royal reputation. Are you still qualified to be this Prince Wu?" The two brothers bickered.
The ministers in the hall chose to keep their mouths shut and watch.
This kind of thing was really not to be meddled with.
Li Er's good mood was ruined by these two brothers.
"Enough, stop arguing! If you two argue again, you will all get out of here and go home to reflect on your mistakes!"
Seeing their father get angry, Li Tai and Li Ke stopped talking.
Fang Xuanling said.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Your servant thinks that since these new-style songs have appeared in the Great Tang, it shows that the people... can be used by the imperial court!"
Since Fang Xuanling had said so.
Li Er also felt that this made sense.
Everything should be considered from a positive direction.
Why couldn't the Great Tang have such talent?
Even Qin Mu, wasn't he a Great Tang talent before?
There might be talent no less than Qin Mu's. We should find this wise talent and let him work for...
It was only later, by a twist of fate, that he turned against the Great Tang!
"Fang Xiang's words are reasonable; the Great Tang should also have such talent! It's impossible for Great Qin to monopolize all the good things!"
Li Tai knew that his attack on Li Ke this time was a failure.
It was a pity that his uncle Zhangsun Wuji was not here, having gone to sea to ask the Japanese for those pirates who committed the crime.
If his uncle were here, he would definitely not have let him fail so easily!
Even if he exposed Li Ke staying overnight on a flower boat, his father didn't care at all.
This time, he didn't attack Li Ke's vital point.
If you are wrong, you must admit it!
This was the strategy Li Tai summarized.
Only by being brave enough to admit mistakes could he restore his image in front of his father.
"Prince Wu, I'm sorry! I was also worried that this matter was done by Great Qin spies, intending to harm our Great Tang!"
Li Ke didn't know what ghost Li Tai was playing.
Since people had apologized, what else could he say?
"Prince Wei's words are too serious!"
Li Tai's move of actively apologizing really won Li Er's favor.
Li Er felt that the possibility Li Tai mentioned was not non-existent.
He had suffered too many losses and already had psychological shadows regarding Qin Mu.
Being cautious would never be wrong.
"Fang Xiang, you are responsible for investigating this matter. The people behind it must be dug out clearly and plainly!"
"Your servant obeys the edict!"
Fang Xuanling received the edict and immediately sent people to start investigating this matter overwhelmingly.
Li Er felt a bit anxious in his heart.
He hoped these masterpieces came from the hands of Great Tang scholars.
But at the same time, he was worried that it really (Wang Dezhao) was a Great Qin conspiracy, and he would inevitably be disappointed.
"Heaven bless the Great Tang, produce talent again!"
Li Er really needed the Great Tang to have some changes.
However, such changes were hard to appear in the imperial court.
If this time, great talent appeared among the people again, no matter what, he would use them heavily.
Speaking of which, he hadn't heard those new-style songs that suddenly became popular.
He wanted to hear what kind of songs they were that made them argue like that in the imperial court today?
Li Er was very clear about the struggle between Li Tai and Li Ke.
In the end, these two sons were nothing more than fighting for the position of Crown Prince.
Today's events also made Li Er start thinking again.
Should he appoint a Crown Prince again?
Last time he went to the Confucian temple and saw the bookstore Li Ke set up, it made Li Er feel a bit surprised at first...
If only Ke'er didn't worship Qin Mu so much!
If he could be hostile to Qin Mu, he would still be an ideal candidate for Crown Prince.
