God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 575 Calculation
Just when Li Chengqian was busy making cotton clothes, some people started to act like demons.

In the Tai Chi Palace, Liu Hongji was standing respectfully beside Li Shimin.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, was writing with a calligraphy brush, so he had a rare leisure today.

So, he started writing.

His fonts are very beautiful, no worse than Ouyang Xun at all.

Then Liu Hongji said respectfully:
"Your Majesty's Danqing is truly unprecedented, and there will be no one to come after. Every word is like flowing clouds and flowing water, which makes people never get tired of it!"

Liu Hongji really has a way of flattering people, which made Li Shimin laugh out loud.

"I just like an honest person like you! Tell the truth! It's rare to know yourself! Hahaha!"

Li Shimin is an outstanding emperor, today we only talk about his attainments in calligraphy.Li Shimin advocated calligraphy personally, making Tang Dynasty calligraphy a glorious page in the history of Chinese calligraphy.He especially loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and even created a precedent for engraving steles in running script.

Because Liu Hongji didn't lie, he was just flattering at this time, so it was inevitable that there was some element of flattery.

Liu Hongji said bluntly: "Yes! The minister is telling the truth. Your Majesty's paintings can be said to shock the past and present, and people can enjoy them! If they are published in a book, let the people watch and emulate them, and more calligraphers will be created!"

Liu Hongji's words aroused Li Shimin's joy, so he couldn't help saying a few more words.

"Liu Hongji, you know that when I come to the books of the ancients today, I don't study the form, but only seek the strength of the bones, and the form grows by itself. This calligraphy and painting emphasizes the bones, and the spiritual outlook and dignified strength contained in it! For future generations to learn from!"

"Yes, yes, what your majesty said is very true! The bones of your majesty's calligraphy are indomitable! It's just that I'm a little curious, why does your majesty practice calligraphy with such boldness?"

Li Shimin smiled, looking contented.

Then he said: "The small way of calligraphy is not an urgent task at the beginning. It is better to pay attention to it from time to time than to abandon the day. For all kinds of arts, those who have not learned but can't get it.

As soon as Li Shimin said something, especially when it came to calligraphy, he couldn't stop immediately, and Liu Hongji on the side kept echoing his words. After all, he was happy, and everyone felt better.

"Your Majesty's attainments are indeed very deep. It would be even better if His Majesty the Crown Prince could match His Majesty's attainments! If His Majesty the Crown Prince could spend more time on calligraphy, it would be good!"

Liu Hongji mentioned Li Chengqian intentionally or unintentionally, and his intentions were naturally bad.

Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian's name, he asked:
"That's right! What's wrong with Gao Ming?"

Li Shimin knew that this guy must have a reason for saying this, so he asked this question.

Seeing that the time had come, Liu Hongji began to say: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been collecting cotton recently, which makes people puzzled. I thought that he must use it for ornamental purposes! But the minister I thought, what is there to appreciate about this cotton? The heart of His Royal Highness is really elusive."

Cotton, as the observation flower of the Tang people, has withered in winter, but it also has a different flavor.

"Oh? What the hell is he doing?"

Li Shimin put down his pen and asked.

Liu Hongji hurriedly said again: "His Royal Highness spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of cotton in the East Palace. I don't know what he is doing. But there may be something wrong with the purchase of flowers. I think it may be the crown prince. Your Highness is playing with your heart."

If this guy dared to say this in front of Li Chengqian, he would definitely be beaten to pieces. He only dared to say that when Li Chengqian was not present.

Spending a lot of money on some useless things, Li Chengqian probably wouldn't do that, and Li Shimin didn't want to believe it, but from what Liu Hongji said, all of this seemed to be true.

"Huh? You follow me to see! Although Gao Ming has some achievements, but this achievement is really nothing, you can't be complacent about it, and it will be wasted!"

Li Shimin said this, because they thought that Li Chengqian was just playing around, so they didn't take some things to heart.

Therefore, he felt that Li Chengqian was not doing anything, so he was a little angry.

But now Li Chengqian is busy, he is going to do a major event that can change the entire Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, his busyness has attracted a traitor to frame him. This traitor made Li Shimin come to the East Palace to see Li Chengqian make a fool of himself, but he probably has no good intentions.

At this time, Li Shimin was already a little angry.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and it is reasonable for him to be playful!"

Liu Hongji added another knife, and the next step, if Li Chengqian is really as he said, then he must make his minister's order fail.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin said:

"Liu Hongji, you don't have to excuse him! He is the prince, not like everyone else. I want to see what this kid is doing. Let's go! You follow me to the East Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

It could be felt that Liu Hongji was secretly delighted at this time.

Before Li Shimin left Taiji Palace, Empress Changsun appeared with Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi saluted Li Shimin.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Don't be too polite!"

Li Lizhi didn't know why Li Shimin was like this today, she felt that Li Shimin was a little strange.

Empress Changsun also came over at this time and asked:

"Your Majesty, where are you going now?"

"Look at your fine son!"

"What's wrong, brother?"

Li Li questioned, but Li Shimin ignored it and wanted to go to the East Palace instead.

"What's wrong with Gao Ming? He hasn't let up during this period of time!"

"Then why is he buying flowers now?"

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he said directly.

"Could it be that I bought it for the concubine in the harem? He gave me a prescription last time, which is very easy to use. After I use it, my skin is much better than before."

"Oh? Really?"

Li Shimin's tone softened a bit.

Empress Changsun also breathed a sigh of relief:
"Yes, Your Majesty, that is the case."

Liu Hongji couldn't let Li Shimin stay.

So he said: "Your Majesty, the cotton is colorless and odorless, and it doesn't look like something that can be used for skin beautification. I think it's better to go and have a look!"

"Ai Qing is right, I'm going to take a look, so as not to be fooled and not know."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Liu Hongji did not forget to make up for it.

Empress Changsun gave Liu Hongji a blank look.

Liu Hongji was sneering.

But Empress Changsun wanted to see what she said, so she said:
"If His Majesty wants to go and see, I want to follow too."

"Alright, you go with me! Bring Lizhi!"

So a group of people waited and went to the East Palace.

At this time, the East Palace was completely different, not what they had seen before.
