I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 474 Your Majesty, will you give me this "Preface to Lanting Collection"?
Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

Xu Fenglei also got up and brought his neck up.

"Lanting Collection Preface" ah!

This is the best running script in the world!It is much more valuable than the "Sangluan Post" in his hand!
It is no exaggeration to say that "Sangluan Tie" can be sold for hundreds of millions in later generations, while "Preface to Lanting Collection" is priceless.

Priceless National Treasure!
Although Xu Fenglei doesn't know much about calligraphy, it doesn't stop him from wanting to see the treasure.

wow.

On the desk, two servants spread out the calligraphy, and three heads came together.

"Okay, okay...it really is a good word!"

Li Yuan caressed the post, as if he was stroking his lover's skin, he just glanced at it, and couldn't help but praise,

"It's elegant and elegant, worthy of being the best running script in the world!"

"Erlang, where did you get this? I don't know why!"

Li Shimin grinned.

"If you want to talk about the circulation of "Lanting Collection Preface", then there is a story to tell."

he laughed,
"After this object came from Wang Xizhi's hands, it was regarded as a treasure by the Wang family, and it was passed down to the hands of Zen Master Sun Zhiyong, the seventh generation of Wang Xizhi. Before his death, Zen Master Zhiyong passed it on to his favorite disciple, Monk Biancai."

"My son earned this "Preface to the Lanting Collection" from the monk Biancai."

Li Yuan suddenly realized that it was like this...

"What is earning?" He asked again.

"Hey, at first I sent someone to ask for it, but the monk Biancai refused to give it to me, only saying that I didn't have it. In desperation, I had no choice but to make a bad plan and sent Yu Shi Xiao Yi to coax him."

Li Shimin sighed softly,

"Xiao Yu hid his identity and made friends with that monk Biancai, and that Biancai really fell in love with each other. When the two exchanged calligraphy, that Biancai monk really took out the "Lanting Collection Preface"!"

"Xiao Yi resorted to a method to steal this treasure out, and when the monk Biancai found out, the treasure had already been in my hands..."

"Speaking of which, it's not very glorious..."

As an emperor, he actually used sneaky and ghostly tricks for a book post, which is not pleasant to say the least!

"What's this?"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said nonchalantly,
"The whole world belongs to our Li family, and this "Lanting Collection Preface" naturally also, the monk Biancai is just keeping it."

"If the emperor insists, how dare he not give it? Then demolish his temple and search it out!"

Xu Fenglei pouted.

He didn't like Li Yuan's argument very much, it was even uglier than the capitalists of later generations.

But then I thought about it, this is the feudal dynasty...

"However, since you have obtained the "Preface to the Collection of Lanting Pavilion", you should also reward the eloquent monk more. It can be regarded as his meritorious service."

Li Yuan patted Li Shimin's shoulder, smiled lightly,

"A monk...give him a more dignified temple, and he will naturally be happy."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Er also has the same intention. Allocate some funds to rebuild the temple of the monk Biancai."

he said,

"Then visit the descendants of the Wang family among the people, and give some rewards. If they are talented, they can also be given to an official."

"In this way, it is considered a kindness."

The father and son looked at each other and reached a consensus.

Emperor, if you take your things and reward you with three melons and two dates, that is grace!
Given the grace, naturally there is no psychological burden to enjoy this treasure.

"Come on, I want to copy!"

Li Yuan became interested and waved his hands,

"Take the Four Treasures of the Study! Erlang, don't look at me playing cards and chess every day. In fact, my favorite thing is writing!"

"Writing is the best way to cultivate sentiment and recuperate the body and mind! I still remember that during the Wude period, I wrote a thousand official appointment documents for my father a day. It was not tiring at all, but I still have more to say! Hahaha..."

"Come on……"

Li Shimin's face twitched.

You are so cool, you appointed a thousand officials a day.

Do you know how hard it is for me to get rid of these superfluous officials? !

This ass almost wiped the paper!

He slandered in his heart, but there was no expression of dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he said enthusiastically:
"Okay, my son may not have seen Father write for a long time."

"Come on, I'll sharpen the ink for you. You just need to write, even if you write it ten thousand times! You have enough pen and ink!"

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, took the brush and held it in his hand.

"Ninth year of Yonghe... It's not unreasonable that this "Lanting Collection Preface" can be called the best running script in the world. The first word is very mysterious!"

He raised his head slightly and asked,
"Erlang, and Xu Guogong, I'm here to test you... There are eight ways to write Yong, do you know which eight ways to write it?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head again and again.

How did he know?He felt that the calligraphy was well written, beautiful, and full of charm... But what should I say?
Sorry, I'm a bumpkin, and I don't know anything about calligraphy.

"Naturally know."

Li Shimin replied,
"Yong is a small character, but it covers all the structures of the font. Often with just such a character, you can tell which genre the person who wrote it is."

"A point is a side; a horizontal is a strangle; a vertical is a crossbow; a hook is a sway; a lift is a strategy: a slash is a plunder; a short slash is a peck;

"This is the Yongzi Bafa!"

After all, his hands were itchy, so he also took a brush and started writing on the rice paper.

The father and son were in high spirits, but Xu Fenglei was dizzy. He could only stroke his chin, pretending to be serious and applauding them:
"The word Taishanghuang is well written!"

"Your Majesty's handwriting is not bad!"

"Aiya...you're almost catching up with Wang Xizhi!"

"..."

……

Several hours later, it was getting late.

Li Shimin led Xu Fenglei out of the Da'an Palace with a satisfied smile on his face.

"It's been a long time since I got along so harmoniously with my father, and maybe I haven't practiced calligraphy like this for a long time... I copied it today, and I'm quite diligent!"

he laughed,

"Happy, happy! Hahahaha... Listen to me, you are also very good with Father today. It can be seen that he is very happy!"

Today's Li Er made up for the guilt he felt towards his father, and also got his addiction to writing by the way.

Even though the weather is hot, once the mood is comfortable, of course everything is pleasing to the eye!
"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Fenglei yawned.

Of course it's good to accompany you!Lao Tzu is so beautiful that he doesn't repeat the same words. He almost praised Old Li as Li Xizhi!
"All right!"

Li Shimin patted Xu Fenglei's shoulder and said,

"I'm going to go back and make good arrangements for my trip to the Palace of Renzhi to escape the summer heat. As for the matter of supervising the country, don't refuse any more. I won't trust you if it's someone else!"

Xu Fenglei's heart warmed.

The emperor travels and the ministers supervise the country. This is indeed a great trust!It's also a reward!
It is foreseeable that after this supervision of the country, his political status in Datang will be further improved...

However, Xu Fenglei has never been satisfied with spiritual rewards, material rewards are also necessary, otherwise...

Don't do it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

He slightly cupped his hands and said,

"I can supervise the country, but it is a laborious task after all. There is no credit, only hard work."

"There is no reward for being in prison. If something goes wrong, the minister will die, so..."

Li Shimin stared.

"What's the matter?"

He said angrily,

"Jianguo! This is an errand that many people can't ask for. Are you complaining?"

"Do you want me to give you some rewards?"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"That feeling is good!"

He continued,
"Your Majesty, I don't want anything else, just give me the Preface to the Lanting Collection. I want it to be the treasure of the town house."

Li Shimin: "???"

"You kid is looking for kicks, right?"

Li Er was annoyed,

"You bastard who can't write well, what "Lanting Collection Preface" do you want? Can you taste the chaff?"

"What a joke!"

Hearing Xu Fenglei's request, he wished he could kick this kid.

How exasperating!I made up my mind to hit his favorite "Lanting Collection Preface".

Dad wanted it just now, but he was not willing to give it!
"Isn't it just because you can't write well that you need to copy and learn from..."

Xu Fenglei was stunned, but he was not annoyed, he still grinned and said,
"Maybe with this "Lanting Collection Preface", I can improve my calligraphy attainments by leaps and bounds and become a master of calligraphy."

"You said yes?"

"Get out!" Li Shimin rolled his eyes and refused resolutely, "Don't even think about it! I have given you Shangfang's horse-killing sword, which is enough to be a treasure of the town house! Besides, you have no children to pass on. What is it for?"

"You can take it into the grave." Xu Fenglei said solemnly.

boom!
Li Shimin couldn't bear it this time, and kicked Xu Fenglei.

"Go away! You kid is not qualified!"

He spat,
"This treasure is a funeral object that I have already identified, and it will be brought into the grave!"

Xu Fenglei deftly dodged, only to be kicked to the corner of his clothes by Li Er.

"The minister is quitting, whoever wants to do it in this prison country will do it."

He spread his hands to play a rogue,
"It's so hot here in Chang'an. I also want to go to Renzhi Palace with your majesty to escape the summer heat. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Shimin: "..."

"Damn you... that's all! I've convinced you, what a vassal..."

Li Er supported his forehead and said,
"Don't you want to copy calligraphy? I will give you this opportunity! Let me lend you this "Lanting Collection Preface" for the time being, and put it in your house for safekeeping. I will take it back when I come back from the summer vacation."

"Two months is enough for you to copy!"

"But remember one thing, this is my treasure, don't hurt a single bit, not a single page, or I'll come back and wring your head off!"

"Did you hear?"

Xu Fenglei was shocked.

"heard it!"

He solemnly said,

"I will take good care of it!"

"It's really... I feel uncomfortable if I don't get some benefits here, right?" Li Shimin muttered, then waved to the maid behind him, "Put away this "Preface to the Lanting Collection" and send it to Duke Xu's mansion!"

After that, he walked away.

Xu Fenglei grinned.

If he was too majestic and upright, obeying everything without asking for anything in return, maybe the emperor would become suspicious.

Asking for some benefits from time to time is the best way to maintain the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Otherwise, if you have no desires and no desires, what kind of favor will the emperor give you?
If you don't reward me, how can he trust you?

human nature...

Of course, he is also very happy to be able to obtain the treasure of "Lanting Collection Preface", even if it is only temporarily held.

When the time comes, ask the two brothers Yan Liben and Yan Lide to copy a hundred copies of it. Whether it is for decoration or as a gift in the future, it will be more face-saving!
……

a few days later.

Under intensive planning, the emperor invited the Supreme Emperor to move to the Renzhi Palace for a summer vacation, which will soon take place.

Chang'an post house.

Haogong Qianhe sorted out the books all over the floor, and carefully sorted them into boxes.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen large boxes in front of her. Even if it is pulled by a horse-drawn cart, it will take at least five to be able to pull it.

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains that Xuefu Wuche, Princess Qianhe, is this also considered Xuefu Wuche?"

Pharmacist Hui Ri assisted Haogong Qianhe and said with a smile.

"No, much more than that."

Haogong Qianhe got up to rest for a while, looked at her 'masterpiece', couldn't help smiling, wiped her sweat and said,

"There was no paper in the Central Plains before, and the words were all recorded on bamboo slips. Five carts of bamboo slips seem to be many, but in fact there are not many words."

"But now our books are all recorded on thin paper, and there are nearly a thousand densely packed! It covers astronomy, geography, agriculture, medicine, mathematics, architecture, music, calligraphy, poetry, Buddhist scriptures, Taoism, Four Books and Five Classics Wait for dozens of books! The knowledge is extremely dense!"

"If I, Dongpu, can digest and absorb all these books, it will be enough to become a powerful country!"

Pharmacist Huiri's eyes showed yearning.

"It's not in vain for the princess to waste her family's wealth..." He sighed softly.

"Yeah, it's not in vain that I exhausted my wealth. For these books, I not only exhausted the gold I brought, but even sold my jewelry, just to exchange for a few more books."

Haogong Qianhe also sighed with emotion, then smiled and said,

"However, it's worth it. Trading money for knowledge is a sure-fire deal no matter how you look at it!"

"Mr. Yaoshi, let's load the car! The weather is sweltering now, be careful not to damage these treasures by moths."

"Ha Yi!" Pharmacist Hui Ri responded, "This subordinate is going!"

He picked up a box with both hands, and was about to go downstairs when he suddenly asked:

"Princess Qianhe, when will we... go back to Japan?"

Haogong Qianhe frowned.

"Why, you are in such a hurry to go back, isn't Datang okay?"

she asked back.

"Datang is very good."

Pharmacist Hui Ri shook his head and whispered,

"It's a hundred times more prosperous than Dongying, and there are all kinds of delicious food. You can have dozens of tricks just for breakfast..."

"There are still many places to play in Chang'an, just looking at it will make people dazzled."

"This is the land of bliss...but it's not my destination."

"I still want to return to Dongying as soon as possible. I miss my hometown. Although it is barren, it is very nostalgic."

Haogong Qianhe nodded slightly.

"almost."

she said,

"The purpose of coming here is to absorb their wisdom for the books of the Tang Dynasty. Once these five carts of books are loaded, the purpose will be considered accomplished."

"The only thing left is to meet the Emperor Tang. After meeting the Emperor Tang, we will go back to China. Father is in Dongying, so I guess we are already waiting impatiently."

Pharmacist Hui Ri nodded repeatedly.

"Yes."

When he got a definite answer, he relaxed and turned around to move the goods.

But Haogong Qianhe's eyes showed a cold look.

"No ambition."

She sneered,

"Barren land, what is there to cherish?"

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Only the empire of ten thousand vehicles and the prosperous Chang'an are the habitats of my grand palace and thousands of cranes!"
