Qin Mubai closed the invitation and asked: "Second brother, for no reason, why does Wang Wei want to entertain guests? How does he know that I came back from vacation?"

"You are now a big fan. I want to know that it is not easy for you to come back. Yesterday, your appearance at No. 1 Liquor in the World is enough to let King Wei know the news. There are literati who drink and entertain there. How many are the guests of the King of Wei." Qin Bin said, "As for the reason for the treat, Brother Yu seems to have heard that it is ---- King Wei wants to invite all the Confucian scholars and talents to play a song."

"The curved water flows down? It's funny! It's all summer now, what kind of water flows and what hits?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.

Qushuiliuqi is an ancient custom that has been popular since the Jin Dynasty. According to legend, 42 famous calligraphers in the Jin Dynasty, Kuaiji internal history Wang Xizhi, relatives and friends Xie An, Sun Chuo and other 42 people, after the repairs in Lanting, held the "Qushui Liuqi" activity of drinking and composing poems, which was cited as an eternal story. This Confucianism has been passed down to this day. At that time, Wang Xizhi and others were sitting on the ground on both sides of the Qing River in Lanting after the Xiuhu sacrifice ceremony. They placed the wine-filled goblet in the stream, slowly descending from the upstream floating water, passing the winding stream, and turning the goblet in front of whom. Or stop, whoever has to improvise poetry and drink.

In this game, eleven people each made two poems, fifteen people each made a poem, and 16 people couldn't make a poem. Wang Xizhi compiled everyone's poems, prefaced them with silkworm cocoon paper and a brush with rat whiskers, and wrote the world-famous "Lanting Preface".

The current emperor Li Shimin's love for Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has caused a wave of calligraphy throughout the Tang Dynasty. As a result, the elegant entertainment method of Qu Shui Liuqi has also spread among the current Datang scholars. It's just that the Qushui Liuju is generally held on the Shangji Festival in March in Yangchun, and now it's the summer solstice.

"This foolish brother doesn't know either." Qin Bin shook his head and smiled, "I heard from the fellow guests that it was Wang Wei who was ordered to accompany His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial palace in March of this year, and discuss the "Kuo Di Zhi". As a result, I missed this year's Qu Shui Liu Zang. So I took advantage of the time to do it again. Wei Wang has a very close relationship with many literary talents. Qu Shui Liu Zang has always been an important form of his relationship with him, presumably not wanting to waste it. Got it!"

"So..." Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "I am a martial artist, and I have only one relationship with King Wei. What do you invite me to do? Isn't this just trying to embarrass me?" /

"Third brother, do you really understand, or are you foolish?" Qin Bin smiled, "This is already clear, Wang Wei wants to pull you out!"

Qin Mubai chuckled: "Let's go! Anyway, poems are definitely not good for me. Go and see the excitement. People like Wei Wang offered the face actively invitation, if I don't go, I don't want to hit him in the face. ? It’s just the second brother, I want to ask ---- how is your relationship with Wang Wei now?"

Qin Bin smiled indifferently: "You don't know the teachings of your father. Although Brother Yu met with King Wei in Hongwen Hall and Wude Hall for three days, he could not even talk about friendship with him. , I seem to be indifferent to me, a scholar who is inferior and low-ranking. The reason why I was invited this time is mainly to invite you through me, right? Ha ha, Brother Yu just followed you."

"Haha, isn't it just a mix of food and drink? ----Second brother waits a moment, when the younger brother changes clothes, he will start with you."

Shortly afterwards, the two brothers adjusted their clothes and drove away from their home in a carriage, heading for the Palace of Wei.

Wei Wang Li Tai, can be said to be the prince most favored by the emperor today, even far better than the prince Li Chengqian. For several years, the emperor Li Shimin, who has always admired thrift, has constantly personally allocated funds to Li Tai to repair the mansion, and the money he usually provided has almost kept pace with the East Palace. For this reason, many veteran officials did not give little advice to persuade the emperor, but Li Shimin, who has always been ignorant of admonition, is still the same as me. In addition, Li Tai himself is indeed somewhat capable, and his expertise in the'civil rule' is not comparable to ordinary princes. In recent years
