The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 641
Li Er was very curious about Li Muyun's movements.

First of all, he hired almost all the sculptors that Chang'an City could hire, and he carved something every day. Once a day, sometimes once a day.

At first Li Er thought that this bastard was trying to trick his daughter, but after observing for a while, he found that Li Muyun didn't go to Changle at all, but went straight to Da'an Palace and went to find his father.

Such a strange behavior made Li Shimin feel uneasy, and one day after hearing the news that Li Muyun had entered the palace again, he immediately set off for the old man's residence.

When he arrived at the old man's Da'an Palace, Li Er found that the old man did not bask in the sun in the yard as before, nor did he enjoy singing and dancing, but shut himself and Li Muyun in the study.

Such a situation made Li Shimin grit his teeth, and decided to listen to what the old man and Li Muyun were discussing, so he warned everyone in Da'an Palace not to speak up, and went outside the window of the old man's study.

Then, Li Er heard the following conversation.

"Father, you can't be lazy, there are still two thousand words, and it's time to deliver before night."

"I know, isn't it just two thousand words, what's the big deal, I'll give it to you at night, can't you let me take a breath first?"

"No, I said dear father, you promised me this matter. If you can't deliver it tonight, I will have to replace it."

"Don't you dare, if you say that I wrote it, I will write it. If you dare to change people, believe it or not, I will pick your skin."

"Then you should write it. There are only [-] to [-] words in total. It's not a problem for you to procrastinate every day."

"Who said I was procrastinating, I wrote you more than 1 words in ten days, what else do you want, one thousand a day, isn't it enough for you?"

Li Shimin was at a loss and couldn't imagine what was going on in the room at all, but this conversation had nothing to do with the rebellion, which reassured the great emperor, hesitantly decided to go in and have a look.

In the room, old Li Yuan gritted his teeth and wrote big characters, and there was a thick stack of big characters beside him, while Li Muyun was sitting on the side drinking tea, and by the way, he didn't forget to say a few words, what do you think of the scene? weird.

Looking at the weird scene, Li Er still couldn't figure out what the two of them were doing. He hesitated and walked to the old man, wanting to see what the old man was doing.

As a result, when Old Li Yuan found out that Li Er came in, he immediately stopped writing, put away the things on the table, and said, "Er Lang isn't handling official business in front, what's the matter with me?"

Li Shimin didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "Father, isn't it winter soon, my son is here to see if you are missing anything."

"I don't need anything, go get busy." Old Li Yuan's expression was a little unnatural, and he waved his hand at Li Er, trying to drive him away.

Naturally, Li Shimin would not leave just like that, but he couldn't disobey his old man's words, so he could only turn his head and stare at Li Muyun who was getting up to salute him, and gave him a wink as if to go out and talk.

It was rare for Li Muyun, who was a drafting party, to look at old Li Yuan with a sad face, and followed Li Er out helplessly.

"What the hell are you doing, kid? What are you writing about?" Li Er immediately asked after leaving old Li Yuan's study.

Li Muyun spread his hands and said, "Brother Huang, I want to open a book printing shop, so I came to ask Father Huang to ask for some characters to be used as master plates, and when the book is published in the future, I will use Father Emperor's fonts to print. "

Li Shimin frowned, looked at Li Muyun with some displeasure, and reprimanded: "It's just nonsense, father is not in good health, how can you let him copy books? Is your printing shop really so high-end? Can't use ordinary words?!"

Although Li Shimin thinks it's okay for the old man to copy more books, due to the situation, it is still necessary to show filial piety, but Li Muyun shook his head and said: "No, brother, I'm just begging for words like my father, as long as my father Just help me write each of those commonly used characters, there are not many in total.”

"Write every word once? What do you want to do?" Li Er, who already had a deep-rooted thought about engraving and printing, really couldn't figure out the reason why Li Muyun did so.

In desperation, Li Muyun had no choice but to explain the movable type printing to Li Er again, and there were a few leaves missing from the tree in the old Li Yuan's yard.

After all, Li Er is still young, and his comprehension is far superior to that of the old man. He understood Li Muyun's meaning halfway through, and immediately brightened his eyes. He grabbed his shoulder and said excitedly, "How did you come up with this idea? Why didn't you report it to me earlier?" .”

"I thought of it naturally." Li Muyun blinked, disapproving of Li Er's fuss.

Li Shimin seemed to have just asked casually just now, and didn't care much about Li Muyun's answer. After turning around a few times excitedly, he asked again: "Do you need other fonts for your characters?"

Li Muyun sighed and said: "Of course I need it. Running script, cursive script, regular script, and clerical script are all needed, but my father is getting old, so I can't let him write so much."

"Well, you still have a little conscience." Li Shimin glanced at Li Muyun approvingly, nodded and said, "In this case, I will help you solve a font, which is a reward for you."

Li Muyun was a ghost, and immediately excitedly said after hearing the words: "Really? That's really great, Brother Huang, you really helped me a lot. If this is the case, can you do me another favor?"

"What? Do you still want me to write another copy for you?"

Li Muyun rubbed his hands, and said awkwardly: "Oh, there is no way, I just thought, anyway, so many words are needed, how about letting Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, and Yu Shinan each write their own? In the future, they can also write their own words. Come in handy."

Li Shimin thought for a while: "It's not impossible."

As the saying goes, there is no joke, what Li Muyun was waiting for was Li Er's words, and he immediately bowed to the ground: "My brother, thank you, brother!"

Of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, Yu Shinan, and Xue Ji, except for the last one who had not yet been born, it was not so easy to get any authentic handwriting of any of the first three calligraphers, but Li Muyun took this opportunity, He made up a whole set of everyone's characters, and if Li Er and Li Yuan's characters were added, he really made a fortune this time.

So three days later, Chang'an began to circulate a legend of a press party.

Li Muyun took Li Er's tiger skin as a banner, and went to and from the homes of Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, and Yu Shinan, constantly urging manuscripts every day, which made the three of them miserable, even Li Er, during these three days Li Muyun urged him more than once.

But thinking that their own characters could be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, they had to grit their teeth and write down. After all, literati are well-known, and being able to use their characters to print books is almost a grand event of being famous in the Tang Dynasty. Heart.

Ever since, the great Li Er Majesty, after removing the court and approving memorials, has another task every day, writing big characters hard.

You know, writing a template is not as simple as writing a sentence. It needs to be written word by word, and each word should be written on a piece of paper.

All the judges have written characters, and you should know that if you write continuously, it will not take much time to write down a thousand characters.

But if you are asked to stop writing a character and change a piece of paper, I am afraid that it will take several hours to write a thousand characters, not to mention that Datang still uses all brushes and writes traditional characters.

Su Wanqing couldn't understand why Li Muyun would do this, so she took an opportunity to ask him when Li Muyun came back from the reminder, "Muyun, why do you need so many words? Do you know that during this time your What a bad reputation!"

"Tch, they are jealous." Li Muyun pouted, turned around and waved to Xin: "Bring it!"

Xinxin has been following Li Muyun for the past few days. Hearing this, she came forward, holding a thick stack of papers in her arms. Li Muyun randomly pulled out a piece of paper from it, shook and said with emotion: "This thing is not very valuable now, but Try it in another 100 years, and if it’s another 1000 years, you might be able to buy a house with just one piece.”

"1000 years?" Su Wanqing blinked her big eyes, probably wanting to ask who can live 1000 years.

Li Muyun chuckled and said, "We won't live to be 1000 years old, but didn't Yugong say that our descendants will never end, we won't be able to see that day, but future generations will be able to see it."

When mentioning descendants, Su Wanqing's little face immediately turned red, and she spat hard: "Bah! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

"Ivory is not as valuable as it!" Li Muyun pointed to the stack of papers in his heart, smacked his lips and said to Su Wanqing: "You keep this thing well, in the future those grandchildren will depend on this thing to eat or drink. "After that, he turned around and walked outside.

"Why are you going?" Su Wanqing asked hastily when she saw that he was about to leave just after he came back.

Li Muyun waved his hand without looking back as farewell to Su Wanqing, and a voice came from afar: "Go to the palace, the thousand words written by His Majesty are probably finished, I have to collect them."

Many things in this world are like this. In fact, many times a thing is not that important, but once it involves fame and face, it will be a big deal.

In fact, Li Shimin has already realized that he has been deceived by Li Muyun, but the problem is that he can't stop now, because someone has already given him an outline to the Tang Empire's face, so even if he is deceived, he has to write down .

Besides, Li Muyun didn't want many characters, only a few famous calligraphers, which caused Li Er to be as famous as those famous calligraphers, which made it even more difficult for him to give up. After all, there are still many people who want to write and no one else.

But, can that nasty guy stop being so anxious, can he not put on a look of asking for money, look at Li Muyun who is sitting on the side drinking tea, and then think about how hard an emperor is to work for him ', His Majesty the Great Emperor was very unbalanced.
