The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 14
In the Hall of Lizheng
This is the palace of Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin was also in the palace.

"Empress, didn't I tell you? Why do you want to go back to the palace after taking a good rest in Hongfu Temple? Your body is important."

"Your Majesty, I can't let go of my concubine. After all, the matter of this prince being demoted involves too many aspects. Back then, the elder brother and the third younger brother..."

When Empress Changsun mentioned this, Li Shimin's face became very ugly.

The change in Xuanwumen was something he didn't expect. Two brothers were killed by him that year.

His emperor's position was obtained by events.

Although he later told the world with his own abilities, he was the born emperor.

But it was still a pain in his heart.

"Enough, don't mention them anymore, I'm tired and want to rest."

Empress Changsun sighed.

Although she is the woman he loves the most, sometimes, she is also terrified.

Companion is like a tiger, no one is comfortable.

Right now, she has to worry about the power struggle between the princes.At least she thought so.

She is also for the future of Datang.

But Li Shimin didn't listen.

"The concubine will wait for you to change your clothes."

"No need, you have a good rest, don't damage your body, tonight I'm going to spend the night at Wang Guifei's place!"

Li Shimin got up and was about to go out.

But I heard a eunuch shout: "Your Majesty, Kong Yingda asks to see you!"

"What is he doing at this time?"

Li Shimin muttered.

"Xuan!"

The eunuch went down to announce.

And Kong Yingda entered the palace in a panic.

When he saw the two of them, he bowed.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty, the Queen!"

"No gift! What's the matter with Aiqing so late?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I found a great writer at the entrance of Guozijian in the afternoon! So I came directly into the palace!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was not very interested.Literature is good, it's normal.

"People with good literary talent, I am everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. Do you need to enter the palace to talk about such a trivial matter?"

In his opinion, this kind of thing is really no big deal.

"Your Majesty, let the old minister finish."

Kong Yingda was anxious.

"Oh, tell me then."

"That's a young man, selling poems at the entrance of the Imperial College in the afternoon, one character by one."

"Oh? There are so many things in the world. The person who buys this word must be a fool, right? And what kind of poetry can be sold for a high price of ten words?"

Li Shimin asked.

This made Kong Yingda a little embarrassed.

After all, he bought it too.

Many literati also bought it.

Then they are the fools in Li Shimin's mouth.

He held back for a long time.

Only then did he say, "Your Majesty also bought it... I bought it for five taels of silver."

"Aiqing, I didn't mean that."

Li Shimin never thought that someone would actually buy it, and it was right in front of him, and he even bought five taels of silver.

You don't need to explain this, it's what you think in your heart.

"Your Majesty, I didn't think much about it."

"Alright then, let's talk about what happened next."

Only then did Li Shimin become interested.

At the same time, I also want to know what kind of poetry can make a scholar pay a high price for it.

"Yes! I thought it was a liar, so I tried his literary talent. I didn't think that the young man's literary talent would surprise me. He wrote ten poems in a row in less than a cup of tea. The first one was amazing! Call it a masterpiece!"

Kong Yingda's remarks made Li Shimin take it seriously.

"Oh? Let me see what that poem is about."

Kong Yingda quickly presented the poem.

This presentation shocked Li Shimin.

First, the demeanor of the text shocked him.

"Sure enough. But why is this handwriting so familiar?"

"His handwriting is very unique. He is the only one, with agile and quick brushwork, thin handwriting, and thin without losing his flesh! Regardless of his calligraphy, his literary talent is better than many others, and he is only ten years old. There are all kinds of possibilities in the future! If you can get this person, then the literature of the Tang Dynasty will be able to rise to a higher level."

Li Shimin said, "So, I know who he is!"

"Your Majesty, he said his name is Zili! He is called Mr. by the people, and people respect him very much..."

Li Shimin paused.

"This child really wants to be independent, but it seems that he doesn't want to come back. Very good!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

Empress Changsun came over and looked at the handwriting.

Said: "This is the handwriting written by the sixth prince, Li Min. His handwriting is distinctive, and he even chose a name for himself. It is for the thin gold body!"

"What! He... he turned out to be the sixth prince, but how could the sixth prince be living in the people!?"

Kong Yingda was shocked and at the same time very puzzled.

Empress Changsun probably told him the reason.

He exclaimed again.

"No wonder I look familiar to him! Scholars are like this, and they are arrogant and assertive. I also ask Your Majesty to open up, don't lose such a talent! The sixth prince can lead the culture of the Tang Dynasty to prosperity with his ability!"

This is Kong Yingda's best evaluation of Li Min.

"About this, don't talk about it, I don't want to talk about him on this issue!"

Li Shimin said so, no one dared to control him.

Kong Yingda did not dare to speak.

Then he added:
"Empress, you say, is this rebel on purpose? Intentionally mad at me! Named Zili, it means he can stand on his own? I'm so mad at me!"

Although the last poem is praise, in Li Shimin's view, it is more like satire.

After all, he still remembered the words of that day.

"Your Majesty, perhaps Tu'er will admit his mistake after a while, and maybe that's not the case."

Empress Changsun also gave up persuasion.

Just follow Li Shimin's words and deeds.

"Will he admit his mistake? I don't believe it. This kid has this kind of virtue since he was a child. Why didn't he learn from his brother? Look at Li Ke, how well-behaved, how could he be so presumptuous! In front of the minister Going against me, what is my face? I am so angry."

Kong Yingda was terrified, and his hands were trembling.

how so.

Let a prince in the folk.

But he looked down on him.

Finally got slapped in the face.

He looked at the poems on the table and felt that if these things were abandoned, it would be a loss for the Tang Dynasty.

So at the risk of asking:
"Your Majesty, what should I do with such poems? Such poems must not be buried."

I thought Li Shimin would be angry, but he didn't.

"Poetry, how many people have bought it?"

"By the time I left, about 30 people bought it! Even more..."

"I want you to get poems from those people, not a single one can be lost!"

"Your Majesty, this... what is this for?"

"In the future, these poems will be known to scholars, and the imperial examination will be required! They will also be placed in the Hongwen Museum! Let the princes study the poems well."

Hongwen Hall is for the Royal Library!

This is the greatest affirmation of Li Min's literary talent.

"Yes! Your Majesty, that signature?"

"Don't sign!"

what!The author of this poem is Li Min but can't get a signature?

"Your Majesty, is this okay?"

Li Shimin is really shameless!Not only did Li Min's poems be used as teaching materials, but he also did not sign!

What's the difference between that and a robber?

"That's it! Don't say more! I'm tired! You go down!"

Kong Yingda wanted to take credit, but he didn't expect to find a job for himself in the end.

"Yes!"

He had to back out.

He didn't know that at this time, the existence that shocked him was watching movies and listening to songs very leisurely.
