His calligraphy attainments are extremely high, and his works are still preserved in history and are highly praised by contemporary calligraphers.
Standing next to him was an old man, about sixty years old.
"Your Majesty's calligraphy is as perfect as fire, and he has advanced to a deeper level."
This statement made Li Shimin laugh out loud.
He was very satisfied with the old man's answer.
Then he put down his brush and took a sip of Coke.
This is a Coke bought from the Sheng Tang Dynasty, and there is a bowl of four-fruit soup and some ice cream on the side.
Obviously, Li Min's products have entered the palace. There are also people who specialize in purchasing them.
Li Shimin was not polite and did not reject him, so he became Li Min's client.
You can eat and drink, why not buy some to enjoy?
He burped, put down the Coke and said:
"Shujie, do you think I can push the economy of the Tang Dynasty to a higher level after obtaining the method of Liuli?"
Shujie, the surname of Wang Gui, was born in Fufengyi. He was one of the four famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty. He was the grandson of Nanliang Shangshuling Wang Sengbian. He was born in the Wang family of Fangzhi Wuwan in Qixian County, Taiyuan. He was once a confidant of Li Jiancheng.
, and was later reused by Li Shimin.
There is a slight relationship between this person and Wang Guifei.
At this time, he held an important official position and was one of the few people who could get close to Li Shimin.
He and Li Shimin were discussing some state affairs.
Wang Gui said: "With your Majesty's talents, you will definitely be able to push the entire Datang economy to another climax! Make Datang stronger!"
Without Li Min's beginning, it would probably have taken Li Shimin three to five more years to realize this process.
Facing Wang Gui's praise, Li Shimin said shamelessly:
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is Shujie!"
But at this time Wang Gui frowned and said:
"It seems that even the colored glaze at the Sixth Prince's place is about to start. I'm afraid it will have an impact on all the colored glaze in the imperial court."
Saying this seems to have intentionally or unintentionally stoked the flames of war to Li Min.
But Li Shimin didn't take it seriously. He was a little swollen now.
"He? What can he do? He is just a teenager. How can he have as much experience as me?
Regarding the economy, you have to let me take care of it, based on my experience in governance!
He's just making a fool of himself. Don't think he's a little clever, and don't think he's a gentleman! He's far from it!"
Li Shimin became very proud after he obtained the method of Liuli for a period of time.
I feel like I am number one in the world.
Little did he know how he obtained the method of colored glaze.
And this was invented by Li Min alone.
What did Li Shimin do?
He's just a robber.
He also took advantage of Concubine Yang, which was a disgraceful method.
Moreover, Li Shimin's method of using colored glaze is even more limited. Apart from handicrafts, it has no practical use. He also doesn't know that this thing can be turned into lenses or other things!
Having said that, if it was really for the Tang Dynasty, Li Min would also dedicate these things. After all, if the Tang Dynasty is better, he will be better.
If Li Min knew what Li Shimin said just now, he would have to scold him again.
It's a pity that I'm afraid it can't be done now.
When Wang Gui heard this, he quickly said:
"Yes, yes, what your Majesty said is absolutely true. The Sixth Prince does not pose any threat! But if the Crown Prince can be like the Sixth Prince, that would be a blessing!"
I don’t know whether this old man said this intentionally or unintentionally!
"Okay, don't talk to me about the prince. This kid is also useless! It makes me very worried!"
Li Shimin didn't understand why he still mentioned Li Chengqian. He had a good conversation and made himself proud, but he said something that made him unhappy.
"That's because His Majesty is so outstanding. He is the only emperor throughout the ages and cannot be compared to others! Others are overshadowed by him!"
Yu Wanggui said quickly.
This person's desire to survive is very strong.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If it goes as the king wants, everyone will be happy; if not, they will be scolded at best, or their heads will be lost at worst.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Wang Gui's performance.
"Do you think my empire can create a legend for thousands of generations? Can you predict it?"
Li Shimin asked suddenly.
That would knock Wang Gui down as well.
How does he know what will happen in the future?
I dare not draw any conclusions.
And if someone doesn't say it well, I'm afraid he will be blamed by Li Shimin.
He doesn't dare to take on this kind of responsibility.
Then, he seemed to be thinking of someone.
Then he said to Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, I may be able to recommend someone to you. He knows everything about astronomy and geography. He is especially good at prophecy. If you can bring him into the palace, he will definitely be able to answer your Majesty's questions!"
Are there really such people in this world?
Li Shimin asked curiously: "Oh? Who is he? Can he know the future of my country?"
"Yuan Tiangang is a native of Chengdu, Yizhou!"
Wang Gui said this.
Li Shimin was puzzled.
Who is this?
"What talents does he have? How can he be so admired by you? I am very curious."
Wang Gui then added: "Because I and two of my friends asked him to see his portrait in the early years."
"Huh? Let's talk about it."
Li Shimin was very curious about Yuan Tiangang.
Wang Gui then said: "Thirty years ago, I went to see Du Yan and Wei Ting to see his fortune.
He told Du Yan that the position of Lantai was already full and the school was spacious, so he would definitely be ranked as the imperial censor and be appreciated for his literary talent.
He told his ministers that the three courts of his face were already well-proportioned, and that the upper court and the lower court were perfectly adjacent to each other. Ten years from now, he would definitely be given an important position in the fifth rank.
He told Wei Ting: He looks like a tiger and is sincere in making friends. He will definitely be supported by his friends. When he starts serving as an official, he will be appointed as a military attache.
He also said that the three of us will be deposed at the same time twenty years later, but we will only leave for a short time and will return soon. And we will occupy important positions!
Sure enough, thirty years later, I am serving His Majesty, and the other two are also in high positions! Until now, what he said has come true one by one! Not only that, the people think highly of him!"
"Oh? Is it really so expressive?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, not only that, but also..."
Wang Gui recounted all of Yuan Tiangang's deeds as if they were treasures from his family. Every story was described in great detail and fulfilled one by one.
This caused Li Shimin to be shocked.
He shouted:
"What, does this person really exist? Where is he? Announce him to the palace quickly, I want to see him!"
Li Shimin's curiosity was aroused. He wanted to see Yuan Tiangang no matter what.
"Yes! He is in the capital, so I will go find him and bring him into the palace!"
"You don't have to go. Tell them where he is and let them find him and bring him into the palace! Just stay here and chat with me!"
"yes!"
Then some eunuchs came to announce Yuan Tiangang's entry into the palace.
In just a moment, he happened to meet Yuan Tiangang who was about to enter the palace and resign.
