Seeing that Li Shimin was about to do it himself, Changsun Wuji could not hold his own. He quickly took the ink from Li Shimin's hand and gave it to Li Mu to grind it twice. How much could be obtained after two strokes? Li Mu was dissatisfied and said: "Uncle Guo
Master, is that all?"
"Isn't this enough for you to write one word? Just write one word and you will be able to tell whether it is true or false!"
This is also the case.
Li Mu shook his head and sighed, and dipped his pen in ink. He hung his wrists and closed his eyes, but he didn't move. Everyone's attention was attracted by his hanging wrist posture, but he didn't move for a long time, and they didn't understand.
What's going on? Li Shimin was the first to get impatient and said: "Li Mu, if you can't write it, just give up!"
"Your Majesty, don't disturb the writer's artistic conception." Li Mu was about to show off, but Li Shimin didn't give him a chance and urged: "Stop talking nonsense and write quickly!"
"I've written it, I've written it..." Li Mu failed to show off, opened his eyes, and finally started writing.
First a little bit, like a bird flipping over.
Then there is a horizontal movement, like reining in a horse.
It stands upright like a crossbow, and its power penetrates the back of the paper.
The hook is the same as the jump.
Ti is used as a strategy, just like a whip is used to spur a horse.
To skim is like using a grate to plunder hair.
The short form means "pecking", like a bird pecking at something.
The sound of Zhe is narrow when the stroke is pressed, and the Zhe is made when the animal is split, and the stroke is open.
On a square foot of rice paper, a straight and straight Chinese character "永" appeared on the paper. Everyone in the audience was stunned. What a regular calligrapher and what a character "Yong"!
Li Shimin's expression froze. He frowned, moved closer to the paper, and read it again carefully. The ink was still wet, so he had just written it. He couldn't help but look at Li Mu, and thought to himself, there really are geniuses in this world.
Human? Or is this kid hiding his clumsiness? This word "eternal" cannot be written without more than thirty years of immersion. Li Mu only took three days, how could he do it?
Li Mu threw away the langhao pen and said proudly: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, what do you think of my word 'Yong'?"
No one said anything, even though everyone knew it was good, but Li Shimin had just spoken so eloquently, and now he has obviously lost the bet, who dares to take over at this time?
Li Shimin couldn't believe his eyes, so he picked up the ink and rubbed it a few more times, and said: "Write a few more words, write a few more words with more strokes!"
Li Mu took out a copper coin, put it on the table, and said, "How about I write this 'Kaiyuan Tongbao'?"
"Write, write, write!"
Li Mu picked up the Langhao pen, covered it with ink, brushed dots, and wrote the four words "Kaiyuan Tongbao" on the rice paper. Everyone subconsciously compared the words on the copper coins and found that they were the same. If not everyone knew that copper coins
The words on it are the words Li Yuan ordered Ouyang Xun to write. When you see Li Mu writing it, you will think it is his handwriting.
Now Li Shimin couldn't help but not believe it. He looked at the words blankly, then looked at Li Mu, and said blankly: "How did you do it?"
Li Mu chuckled and said, "What's so difficult about this? For the great genius Li Mu, learning calligraphy is just a trivial matter, so I just spent... about a cup of tea? Almost, just a cup of tea."
"Stop talking nonsense!" When Li Shimin heard this, he felt as if his IQ had been rubbed on the ground, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense again. How can you practice calligraphy overnight?"
"Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth?" Li Mu said helplessly, "How about your Majesty send Bachelor Ouyang to come over and ask him how much time it took him to learn calligraphy?"
Eunuch Gao stood by and said at the right time: "Your Majesty, today the Chongwen Hall is sorting out books, and Bachelor Ouyang happens to be here."
"Call him over!" Li Shimin said in a dull voice with a livid face.
Eunuch Gao turned around and left, and not long after, he came over with Ouyang Xun. When Ouyang Xun saw Li Shimin, he wanted to salute. Li Shimin stretched out his hand to support him and said, "You don't need to be polite, Ouyang Xun. I came to you because I want to know
.How long did it take Li Mu to learn calligraphy at home, and how did you teach him?"
"I have never taught Zhuluhou."
"What?"
Ouyang Xun seemed to be determined to "draw a clear line" with Li Mu. He was not frightened by Li Shimin's surprise and calmly explained: "Zhu Luhou came to learn calligraphy from Zeng, but the old minister didn't teach him. He just read.
I picked up the copybooks accumulated by the veteran for many years, about..." Ouyang Xun thought for a while and said, "It took about a stick of incense, so he picked up a pen and wrote "Kaiyuan Tongbao". When he saw these four words, the veteran
I know that, as with Kaishu, I have nothing more to teach Marquis Zhulu."
Ouyang Xun sighed and said: "In recent years, I have focused all my energy on regular script. Strictly speaking, my current regular script writing skills cannot be as good as Zhuluhou."
"Hiss..." Li Shimin took a breath of cold air and looked at Li Mu again, a little more surprised. A stick of incense, just looking at it, not learning, not asking, just writing as soon as he picked up the pen, and he wrote better than the author
Okay, is this still a human being? Is this real?
?Suddenly a thought appeared in Li Shimin's mind. What Li Mu wrote in front of Ouyang Xun was "Kaiyuan Tongbao". What he just wrote was "Kaiyuan Tongbao". Could he only write these four words?
"Li Mu, please write a few more words. This time I will tell you the content. Just write: 'All nations come to court'. Write it for me to read!"
You've exposed your heart, haven't you?
Li Mu cursed in his heart and wrote four more words.
Ouyang Xun watched from the side and praised: "Zhulu Hou's skill in writing is already better than that of me."
Ouyang Xun, one of the world's leading calligraphers, said such an attributive statement. Li Shimin couldn't believe it anymore, so he had to admit defeat. He glanced at Li Mu and said angrily: "Okay, considering how good you are, I lose. What do you want?"
, tell me?"
"Well" Li Mu turned his pen, smiled, and said: "Your Majesty, I still feel that you have to make me a prince."
Come again!
Li Shimin said angrily: "Can I let you be the emperor? Prince, you must be either my son or my brother, and he must be a direct descendant! Are you involved? Although you have joined the clan, at most you can
He’s a county king!”
Li Mu hurriedly hit the snake and put it on the stick, saying: "The prince is fine too, thank you for your kindness."
This is so shameless!
Not only Li Shimin was dumbfounded, but everyone around him was dumbfounded. Wei Zheng reacted faster and was the first to wake up. He shouted angrily: "Li Mu, is it child's play to be crowned king? What virtues and abilities you have, you are worthy of being crowned king."
?”
"What are you shouting about? Does it have anything to do with you?" Li Mu looked at Wei Zheng and couldn't help but want to start talking. He retorted and said: "His Majesty said so eloquently that as long as I write it, I will get everything? I said I want to be
Prince, your Majesty said no. If it doesn't work, then it won't work. I am easy to talk to, and I am not incapable of negotiation. I have to settle for the second best, even if I am a county prince? Your Majesty has not said no, so what do you, a royal censor, say?
Do you want to make the decision for His Majesty, or do you want to put my Emperor in the position of a treacherous villain? You Wei Zheng, what are your intentions!"
"I..." Wei Zheng was so anxious that he stamped his feet and didn't care about etiquette. He pushed Changsun Wuji next to him and said, "I want to say something!"
Changsun Wuji just hadn't recovered from Li Mu's bold words. After being pushed by Wei Zheng, he sobered up and said hurriedly: "Li Mu, you can't talk nonsense. Being a minister is already extremely glorious, and you can be ranked as a prince.
You actually want to be crowned king, are you going to rebel?"
Li Mu laughed and said: "Uncle Guo, you said that anything is possible for me, but you said that I am the only one who can rebel. Who can believe it! Okay, it's just a joke. Why are you so serious? You won't let me.
I won’t give in, I won’t force you...then I’ll take a step back, Your Majesty, will you agree to my memorial?”
Li Shimin was already confused and said: "What memorial? What do you want me to promise?"
"It's... oh, here it is." Li Mu's sharp eyes saw the memorial that was placed next to Li Shimin's desk after being circulated by everyone. He ran over and took it, handed it to Li Shimin, and said: "This is the east and west investigation.
Your Majesty, please don’t think that I’m making a fuss about the factory. Don’t you know how many people are spying on you? I won’t name who it is or which force it is. Let’s just talk about it. This is not what I taught a group of people some time ago.
When the craftsmen come out, there are some shameless people who start to think about it. They use all kinds of tricks, including coercion and inducement, to poach the craftsmen I have taught. Bah, they are so shameless!
"
Speaking of "stinky and shameless", Li Mu's eyes accidentally or unintentionally glanced at Changsun Wuji and Wang. Both of them avoided looking, but everyone could see that they felt guilty to some extent.
Li Shimin had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and he naturally saw what was going on, and secretly murmured in his heart.
Although Li Mu is a hateful kid, he is doing things for himself. The current framework set up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works, and the group of craftsmen taught by Li Mu are indispensable for making money. If they are really taken over by nobles and nobles, they will still lose.
Internal money.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I agreed. But I'm not in a hurry and will wait until the next year to make arrangements."
Suddenly Li Shimin paused, frowned, and when he looked at Li Mu again, his eyes became unkind.
"Li Mu, I almost forgot. It seems that I have removed you from the post of Minister-in-Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now that you are alone, what kind of memorials have you submitted? What do the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to do with you?"
Li Mu was choked to the point of being speechless. He had already forgotten about this incident. Yes, he was dismissed from his post. What kind of memorial was written?
When Li Shimin saw that Li Mu was speechless, a smile appeared on his face. He threw the memorial into Li Mu's arms and said, "Take your memorial and get out of here. I don't want to see you."
Everyone around him couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Li Mu with a bit of gloating.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu turned around and walked out dejectedly. When he reached the door, he was about to step out when he suddenly turned back.
Li Shimin frowned and said, "What else do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, we have to be reasonable. I just used the opportunity to make demands to ask you to agree to my memorial. Now you say that I am not qualified to write this memorial, so do I have to give back the opportunity to make demands?
Already?"
Li Shimin didn't know what Li Mu's idea was, but Li'er was so reasonable. He nodded and said: "Of course I'll give it back to you, what? Did you ask for anything else?"
"Hey." Li Mu turned around and came back, pulling out a stack of invitations from his sleeve.
"Three days later, the shop will open. Your Majesty and all the gentlemen are invited to come and join us. If you come by then, you can use this invitation to receive thousands of chips. If you win, you can take it. If you lose, it's mine. It's just fun and fun!"
Li Mu handed over the invitations one by one. Li Shimin opened the invitations, his brows suddenly twisted and he said: "You... have opened a gambling house?"
"Yes, yes, your Majesty, you have forgotten that we talked about it."
Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and finally found this paragraph from his memory. It was indeed said. In order to subsidize Li Mu, he was allowed to do a small business. But it was not decided that it would be a gambling house at the time, but it was said before, but it was hard to say.
What? There is no provision in the laws of the Tang Dynasty that prohibits gambling. Moreover, Li Mu's business is based on emotion and reason, and he also wants to support it.
This is even more true for others. They have some relationship with Li Mu in business matters. Although he is no longer the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But who doesn't know that this is just a joke between His Majesty and Li Mu?
Son, without Li Mu, I can't find a second person, sooner or later it will be him.
Li Shimin closed the invitation and said: "Okay, I will support you, but I have to go out incognito."
"Just go, thank you very much." Li Mugong cupped his hands, turned around and left happily. Everyone shook their heads helplessly and returned to their seats. The food was already cold. Li Shimin was not an arrogant and extravagant emperor, so he left and served the dishes again.
, he couldn't bear to take it down, heat it up and bring it back up again? It seemed a bit shabby, and he was no longer interested in drinking, so that was the end of it, and he gave up.
Everyone retreated. Li Shimin returned to the table and looked at the words written by Li Mu, still in disbelief: "High cadre, tell me, what happened to this kid? Yuan Tiangang said that he is a person of Su Hui.
There are rumors that he is a banished immortal from heaven, is this true?"
At this time, it became clear that the goldfish was not given in vain. Eunuch Gao was also a good person and had been with Li Shimin for many years. How could he not guess that His Majesty was jealous. He rolled his eyes, thought of the rhetoric, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty,
The old slave thought that this was a good thing. You think, you are the emperor, and you naturally need the help of an immortal to achieve great things. Zhuluhou has such ability, doesn't he agree with this? He is sent by heaven to assist your majesty.
People who have made great achievements."
"Hahaha..." Li Shimin laughed for a while, put away Li Mu's words, and said: "As long as you can speak, okay, let me lend you auspicious words, I am the emperor, he is the banished immortal..." Suddenly, Li Shimin's
The smile gradually faded, and he said: "However, we can't indulge him too much. This kid has figured out that I don't want to do anything to him, so he becomes more and more arrogant. Falsely spreading the imperial edict is an example, and we can't let this happen again. Moreover,
I also feel that it is too unsafe to let him have someone in his hands. This factory guard matter can no longer pass through his hands. I have to think about it carefully."
Eunuch Gao didn't say a word. He didn't dare to participate in this kind of topic.
"Go and send a message to Yuan Tiangang and ask him to check whether what Li Mu said is true. Who is the person who is plotting the factory? If he finds out, don't be alarmed. Report to me."
