The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1050

[Chapter 1050: Youth Journey]

“I’m talking about how spectacular this military parade is.”

After hearing the emperor’s words, Lin Tian sighed again.

To be honest, it was the first time that Lin Tian saw such a spectacular scene with his own eyes. It really made Lin Tian feel a little proud and majestic, like mountains lined up and thousands of horses galloping.

“Then don’t you want to say some compliments, my dear Lin?”

After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor said to Lin Tian.

“Ah?”

After hearing the emperor’s words, Lin Tian was obviously stunned for a moment, and I don’t know what else to say except that his face was full of disbelief.

“Why? Prime Minister Lin still wants to be humble? The previous Prime Minister Zhao was talented, and now you have just taken office, you don’t want to be looked down upon by the civil and military officials in the court.”

The emperor used the civil and military officials to pressure Lin Tian, and Lin Tian really had no way to deal with it. Ming Tian turned his head to look at the other officials behind him, and found that their eyes were all focused on him at this time.

“Ah~~ How magnificent! I am so excited at the moment.”

Lin Tian did not shy away from it, but stretched out his hands to the sky, looked straight up, sighed, and said something.

The emperor and other civil and military officials were waiting for Lin Tian’s masterpiece, but Lin Tian said this, which made them speechless.

The emperor rolled his eyes at Lin Tian’s anger. Originally, Lin Tian wrote a poem that was not very famous as he thought in his heart, and he praised it greatly, so he would not lose face in front of the civil and military officials.

However, now that Lin Tian suddenly said such words, there was no way to remedy it even if he wanted to.

“This is not only untalented, but also has nothing to do with talent at all.”

“Yes, why would the emperor choose him as prime minister?”

“Prime Minister Zhao is still strong and healthy, why did he propose to retire so early? It’s a pity for a pillar of my Yan State.”

…

After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the civil and military officials began to discuss below.

After hearing their discussion, the emperor’s face became even uglier.

“Since the army has left, let’s all go back.”

The emperor didn’t want to listen to their discussion anymore, so he said to the civil and military officials and planned to leave.

“The bow back is bright and the sword shines on the frost, and

the autumn wind rides out of Xianyang.

I don’t plan to look back at my hometown

until I have conquered the Hehuang land of

the emperor.” Just as the civil and military officials turned around, Lin Tian looked up to the sky and sighed.

This is a poem in Tang poetry that specifically describes going to war, “Youth”.

Although Lin Tian didn’t know which master wrote it, it was most appropriate to use it at this time.

“Tang Shi master, you are not born yet, I just borrowed your work, I hope you don’t blame me.” Lin Tian silently recited in his heart.

Hearing the poem read out by Lin Tian, the emperor stopped, turned around instantly, and looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.

Although the reaction of the civil and military officials was not as big as the emperor’s, they all stopped and showed surprised expressions on their faces.

“Good poem, good poem. Lord Lin is indeed talented.”

Seeing the emperor looking at him like this, Lin Tian felt a chill down his spine. Just when he was about to open his mouth to remind the emperor and ask him to look away, the emperor clapped his hands and said to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was the prime minister he had chosen. Lin Tian was talented, and the emperor was proud of it. After Lin Tian said that just now, the emperor felt as if all his face had been lost by Lin Tian.

Now that Lin Tian has made such a high-class poem, it naturally adds a lot of face to the emperor. So the emperor praised Lin Tian like this.

“No, no, Your Majesty is too kind.”

After hearing the emperor’s praise, Lin Tian responded modestly.

“Prime Minister Lin, don’t be modest.”

“Yes, Prime Minister Lin, you have such talent, how can you hide it?”

“Prime Minister Lin, you have such talent, are you afraid that we will be jealous?”

…

Hearing the emperor praising Lin Tian, Lin Tian was very modest again, and the group of officials behind the emperor also agreed.

“Hmph~~This bunch of fence-sitters, that’s not what you said just now.”

Lin Tian thought secretly in his heart after seeing the reactions of the civil and military officials.

Although Lin Tian had some opinions about them in his heart, he did not show it on the surface. He did not want to offend so many civil and military officials at once. Therefore, Lin Tian just smiled shyly on the surface and did not say much.

“My dear Lin, this seven-character quatrain of yours was not just written. Come with me to record it.”

The emperor pulled Lin Tian and walked towards the court, and at the same time, asked Lin Tian. The other civil and military officials did not want to leave, but followed behind the emperor and Lin Tian.

“It was just something I thought of just now.”

Lin Tian was dragged forward by the emperor helplessly, and did not forget to answer the emperor’s question.

Although the emperor was even more shocked after hearing what Lin Tian said, he still hurriedly continued to pull Lin Tian forward.

Lin Tian followed the emperor into the hall. The emperor sent someone to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked them to take notes.

“Lord Lin, can you read the poem you said before again?”

The emperor turned to ask Lin Tian.

When Lin Tian saw that the emperor had someone invite the historian, he couldn’t help but start to feel scared, wondering whether he should use this “Youth” in his own name.

“Your Majesty, let me make it clear that this seven-character quatrain was not written by me, but borrowed from someone else. You don’t have to let the historian record it.”

Lin Tian explained to the emperor. He was really afraid that future generations would think that he did it and mistakenly record this masterpiece under his name.

If he did that, Lin Tian’s heart would probably be greatly condemned. I’m afraid he would feel very sorry for those Tang Dynasty poets because he impersonated their works.

“Oh? Did Lord Lin read it somewhere else? Why haven’t I read this kind of book?”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor asked curiously.

When Lin Tian traveled to Yan State, Yan State was in dire straits, so there were not many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. The so-called Yan State literary world was just self-proclaimed literati and poets, but they did not have many works worth learning from.

Therefore, until now, Mingtian has not found other works like modern ones, which are as profound as the ancient masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, and are worth learning and inheriting by the world.

“Yes, what kind of books did Prime Minister Lin read? Why haven’t we read them?”

“Prime Minister Lin, can you recommend them to us so that we can appreciate this peerless masterpiece.”
