"Queen, haven't I told you? You are recuperating well in Hongfu Temple, why do you want to return to the palace? Your body is important."
"Your Majesty, I cannot let go of this concubine. After all, the prince's demotion involves too many aspects. Back then, my elder brother and third brother..."
When Queen Changsun mentioned this, Li Shimin's face became very ugly.
The Xuanwu Gate Incident was something he didn't expect, and two brothers were killed by him that year.
He gained his position as emperor through accidents.
Although he later told the world with his own abilities that he was the born emperor.
But it still hurts in his heart.
"That's enough, don't mention them anymore. I'm tired and want to rest."
Queen Changsun sighed.
Although she was his favorite woman, sometimes she also lived in fear.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, no one can live comfortably.
Right now, the struggle for power between the princes still makes her anxious. At least that's what she thinks.
She is also doing it for the future of Datang.
But Li Shimin didn't listen.
"Then I will wait for you to change your clothes."
"No need, you have a good rest and don't let your body get damaged. I'm going to spend the night at Concubine Wang's place tonight!"
Li Shimin stood up and was about to go out.
But an eunuch was heard shouting: "Your Majesty, Kong Yingda wants to see you!"
"What is he doing here at this time?"
Li Shimin murmured.
"Xuan!"
The eunuch then went down and announced.
Kong Yingda entered the palace in a panic.
When he saw the two of them, he saluted.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Queen!"
"No courtesy! What's wrong with you so late?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I found a great literary man at the gate of the Imperial College in the afternoon! So I came directly to the palace!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin didn't have much interest. Literary is good, so it's normal.
"There are many people with good literary talents in our Tang Dynasty. Why do you need to go to the palace to talk about such a trivial matter?"
In his opinion, this kind of thing is really no big deal.
"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say."
Kong Yingda was anxious.
"Oh, tell me then."
"That's a young man who sells poems at the gate of the Imperial College in the afternoon. He has ten words per word."
"Oh? Everything in the world is full of wonders. Anyone who buys this word for ten cents must be a fool, right? And what kind of poem can be sold for a high price of ten cents?"
Li Shimin asked.
These words made Kong Yingda a little embarrassed.
After all, he bought it too.
Many literati also bought it.
Then they are what Li Shimin calls fools.
He held it in for a long time.
Then he said: "Your Majesty also bought it...for five taels of silver."
"My dear, that's not what I meant."
Li Shimin didn't expect that someone actually bought it, right in front of him, and bought it for five taels of silver.
There’s no need to explain this, it’s just what you think.
"Your Majesty, I didn't think much about it."
"Okay then, let's talk about what happens next."
Only then did Li Shimin become interested.
At the same time, I also want to know what kind of poetry can make a great scholar buy it at a high price.
"Yes! I thought he was a liar, so I went to test his literary talent. Unexpectedly, the young man turned out to be very talented, which shocked me. He wrote ten poems in a row in less than a cup of tea, and each one was amazing! The first one was worthy of recognition.
Call it a masterpiece!"
When Kong Yingda said this, Li Shimin completely paid attention to it.
"Oh? Let me see what that poem is about."
Kong Yingda quickly presented the poem.
This presentation shocked Li Shimin.
First, he was shocked by the brilliance of the writing.
"Sure enough, you are very talented in writing. But why is this handwriting so familiar?"
"His handwriting is very distinctive. He is the only one who can move the pen quickly and dexterously, and his handwriting is thin and strong, even though it is thin without losing its flesh! He is better than many people in terms of calligraphy and literary talent, and he is only ten years old.
There are all kinds of possibilities in the future! If we can get this person, the literature of the Tang Dynasty will surely reach a higher level."
Li Shimin said: "So, I know who he is!"
"Your Majesty, he said his name is Zi Li! He is called Sir by the people, and people respect him very much..."
Li Shimin paused.
"This kid really wants to be independent. It seems he doesn't want to come back. Very good!"
"Your Majesty, this..."
Queen Changsun came over and looked at the handwriting.
Said: "This is the calligraphy written by the Sixth Prince Li Min. His handwriting is distinctive and he even named himself Thin Gold Style!"
"What! He...he is actually the sixth prince, but how could the sixth prince live among the people!?"
Kong Yingda was shocked and at the same time very puzzled.
Queen Changsun probably told him the reason.
He sighed again.
"No wonder he looks familiar to me! Scholars are all like this, unruly and independent-minded. Please be generous and don't lose such a talent! With his ability, the Sixth Prince can lead the culture of the Tang Dynasty to prosperity!"
This is Kong Yingda’s best evaluation of Li Min.
"Don't talk about this, I don't want to talk about him!"
Li Shimin said this, no one dared to influence him.
Kong Yingda did not dare to speak.
Then he said:
"Queen, tell me, did this rebellious son do it on purpose? He did it on purpose to make me angry! Named Zi Li, it shows that he can stand on his own feet? I'm so angry!"
Although the last poem is praising, in Li Shimin's view, it is more like satire.
After all, he still remembered what he said that day.
"Your Majesty, maybe Zhen'er will admit his mistake after a while, that's not sure."
Empress Changsun also gave up persuading.
Just follow Li Shimin's words and deeds.
"He will admit his mistake? I don't believe it. This boy has been so virtuous since he was a child. Why doesn't he learn from his elder brother? Look at Li Ke, how well-behaved he is, how could he be so presumptuous! And in front of the ministers?
If you go against me, where will my face be? I am so angry."
Kong Yingda was still frightened, and his hands were trembling.
how so.
Let a prince live among the people.
But he looked down upon him.
In the end, he was slapped in the face.
He looked at the poems placed on the table and felt that if these things were abandoned, it would be a loss to the Tang Dynasty.
So I took the risk and asked:
"Your Majesty, what should I do with such a poem? Such a poem cannot be buried."
I thought Li Shimin would be angry, but he wasn't.
"Poetry, how many people have bought it?"
"When I left, about thirty people bought it! Or even more..."
"I want you to get the poems from those people and not lose any of them!"
"Your Majesty, what...are you doing?"
"From now on, these poems must be known to scholars and must be tested in the imperial examination! They will also be placed in the Hongwen Museum! Let the princes study the poems carefully."
Hongwenkan is the royal library!
Doing this is the greatest affirmation of Li Min's literary talent.
"Yes! Your Majesty, what about your signature?"
"Don't sign!"
What! The author of this poem is Li Min but he can’t get a signature?
"Your Majesty, is this okay?"
Li Shimin is so shameless! Not only did he use Li Min's poems as teaching materials, but he also didn't sign his name!
How is that different from a robber?
"That's it! No need to say more! I'm tired! You go down!"
Kong Yingda originally wanted to take credit, but he didn't expect that he would find a job for himself in the end.
"yes!"
He had to withdraw.
He didn't know that at this moment, the existence that shocked him was leisurely watching movies and listening to music.
