Jiucheng Palace-Jiulong Palace

Li Shimin, who had recovered his health and was full of energy, was interested in splashing ink again, using his best Fei Bai:..., he stopped working on the rock corridor and chatted with the chariot. The picture of dragon in the jade box, the phoenix seal on the golden rope.

Wei compiled the broken pieces but continued them, and Piao Gushu returned the scrolls.

In this regard, Yan stayed, sitting on his desk to observe the tomb ceremony. He walked out of the CI Forest and stopped to enjoy the martial arts feast. He carved a bow to write about the bright moon, and the horse was suspected of electric current. The frightened geese fell on their empty strings, and the apes cried sadly and rushed arrows. I read and rewarded many people.

Beautiful, so I forget my tiredness...

After writing the last sentence: Waiting for Chunhua to apply, Fang Siyunting sounded. Li Shimin, who was holding the pen, couldn't help but look at Li Kuan with satisfaction: "How do you like this handwriting of mine?"

It is true that Li Shimin is about to become emperor, but after all, he is a noble son brought up by a noble family. Coupled with years of hard training, his attainments in calligraphy are naturally far beyond the reach of others.

"The silk thread reflects the ribbon, turbulent and fluttering, like a thirsty man running in a spring. The words I write are like a dog plowing, and I will never catch up in this life."

Calligraphy, like martial arts, requires diligent practice and perseverance. When the other princes were practicing calligraphy in the Hongwen Hall, Li Kuan was killing people with a knife, holding the knife more than the pen. His handwriting can only be said to be not ugly, that's all.

Thanks to Queen Wende’s childhood teachings.

Alas, Li Shimin waved his hand: "That poem and this comment cannot be said by a warrior. Don't hide your clumsiness in front of me."

"That night in front of the palace, I saw you in the formation, already accomplished in killing the enemy with the Thirteen Golden Tiger Styles, much stronger than your elder brother."

During the conversation, Li Shimin asked Li Kuan to write a poem. Don't be too nervous and treat it as a communication between father and son.

To compose poems in front of a master of calligraphy like Li Shimin, isn’t that just trying to do what you do best?

But when he hesitated, the pen had already been handed over to him, and Li Kuan could only bite the bullet.

"Good! What a man who has traveled three thousand miles with one body and fought with millions of soldiers with one sword." He is full of momentum!"

"But why do you think that there is a hint of unrecognized talent in this poem? Why, the job is not going well?"

Shun, how can it be disobedient? When I was a Marquis of Wu, I was often looked down upon by high-ranking officials. Anyone who took him as a lieutenant would take him seriously.

But now, the dignity of the prince has been restored, and the vital military guards are in his hands. Everyone has to be polite and fawning, and there is nothing wrong with him.

It's not that he didn't appreciate his talent, but he remembered that the old school captain who took him there, although he didn't know much about literacy and didn't understand many principles, he taught him a lot.

In Li Kuan's view, the old lieutenant was just like Li Guang, but he was unlucky. Otherwise, with his experienced experience, he would have become a serious general long ago.

"You're right! There are so many geniuses in the world, but no matter how great a genius is, he still needs opportunities, otherwise it will be difficult to get ahead."

"My purpose of launching the Imperial Examination is to allow more knowledgeable people to express their ambitions, and not to have their talents buried because of their high status and family status."

While talking, I mentioned the supervisory censor, Xiao Yi, by the way. Xiao Yi was born in the Lanling Xiao family of the Ding clan. He was versatile, resourceful, clever and smooth. He was a person who could do things well and knew how to do them.

How could he, who has a big family and a big business, accept bribes? It’s just a few calligraphy and paintings, isn’t it something out of a molehill?

I heard that Li Tai cherished his talent very much and wanted to recruit him to the literature museum. Could it be that he was angry with Xiao Yi because of Qingque?

Oh, Li Kuan understands. The emperor sent him here today to write and write poems, just to ask Xiao Yi.

Yes, this man is indeed very capable. After arresting him, not only did Duke Song get angry and cause a scene, but now even the emperor was alarmed.

Before arresting him, Zhai Changsun had reminded Li Kuan that Xiao Yi had favored him and stole the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" for the saint. Although this was disgraceful, it was a great achievement for the saint, even less than Li You.

No matter how much the ministers' political performance is lower, this is the benefit of following their favorites.

Even the few calligraphy paintings he collected were not written by famous artists and were of no value. It was normal not to admit taking bribes. Besides, there were too many such things among courtiers and literati. It was considered bribery. Is there anyone in the court?<

/p>

Li Kuan didn't explain too much and directly put Xiao Yi on the arrest list. This was not arbitrary, but decisive. In the past, when fighter planes were fleeting on the battlefield, he always gave orders directly, and his soldiers did not need him to do anything.

Too many explanations.

General Zhai may not be used to it, or he may be sent by His Majesty to keep an eye on his actions. Regardless of whether Zhai Changsun made the report, Xiao Yu filed a complaint, or Li Tai had objections, he would not let it go.

People.

Not only will he not be released, but his crime will also change from the simple crime of accepting bribes to the crimes of selling an official position, conveying benefits, trading in power and position. Therefore, what was originally an apprenticeship of three thousand miles will also become an execution.

Moreover, at this moment, the soldiers of Baiqiwei had already begun to take action, surrounding Xiao Yi's mansion, imprisoning his family members, and arresting those who had close contacts with him.

Xiao Yu entered the palace to salute. Before he could stand still, his face changed color. He asked His Majesty to mediate. Why didn't he relent: "Why is this?"

Li Shimin also looked a little surprised. What is Li Kuan doing? Is he deliberately targeting the Lanling Xiao family?

But neither Xiao Yu nor the Lanling Xiao family offended him! Even if Li Tai offended him, he wasn't very smart enough to offend him. How could he be so ruthless?

Li Kuan admitted that he had no personal grudges with Xiao Yi, and had never known each other before. He did not want to flatter the emperor and weaken the family's power by dealing with Xiao Yi. He had nothing to do with Jiangshan Sheji, and he was not a prince.

Glancing at Xiao Yu, Li Kuan cupped his hands and said sternly: "Father, my son and I are punishing him because of public outrage and to ask for life for the people!"

What he said confused Li Shimin and Xiao Yu. He, Xiao Yi, was just a supervisory censor. He neither cared about the military nor governed the people. He relied on his pen to hear things, could he harm the people?

"Song Gong, you are a veteran of two dynasties, an important minister of the Sui and Tang dynasties, you have been a prime minister, and now you are a leader of officials. You are famous for your integrity and uprightness. You must be familiar with the law?"

Xiao Yu stroked Hu's hand very proudly: "Your Highness, King Chu, if you want to ask for advice on the punishment name, I will come to the house another day. I am willing to give you some advice."

It can be seen that Xiao Yu is indeed very crazy. Because he is related to the royal family and has a personal relationship with His Majesty, he does not take him as the King of Chu seriously at all. Instead, he seems to be educating the younger generation.

Also, Xiao Yu held many positions, and often went to Hongwen Hall to give lectures to the princes. The prince, King Wu, King Wei, and Li Kuan's brothers were all half of his students.

But they were them, and Li Kuan was Li Kuan. There was no difference at all. He immediately smiled and replied: "Song Gong, there is no need to go to the government to ask for advice. Although Xiao Wang is a Qiu Ba, he can still read."

Three months ago, the Ministry of Punishment arrested five officials from Hebei Province on charges of corruption and bribery and preying on the common people. The saint personally made a mark. These five officials were all on the list of this year's autumn elections, and they were responsible for the supervision of Hebei Province last year.

The censor is Xiao Yi.

Precisely because he accepted the calligraphy and paintings of these five officials and did not see through their treacherous side, Xiao Yi's performance evaluation was judged to be bad by the merit examination department, and he himself was reprimanded by the Zhongshu Ministry of Education.

Xiao Yu was a little dissatisfied with Li Kuan's nitpicking: "Yes, knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing their hearts. How could Xiao Yi know that the five of them are different people on the outside? In other words, who could supervise the censor?

Guarantee that the officials they have passed must be flawless?"

Isn’t it just a few paintings of calligraphy? Writing and writing is an elegant thing, even for the emperor. Isn’t it too far-fetched to convict him of this?

Li Kuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Song Gong, you have to explain yourself in front of His Majesty!"
