Chapter Twenty-Nine: Intentionally or Unintentionally?

"That's it, get up." Hearing Huang Qiong's greeting, the emperor, who was busy reviewing the recitals, didn't even raise his head. Just after letting Huang Qiong get up, there was no movement. The emperor didn't have time to pay attention to himself, and Huang Qiong naturally didn't dare to disturb the emperor's work. can only stay aside honestly, waiting for the emperor to finish the work at hand and take time to receive himself.

Of course, Huang Qiong, who stays on the side honestly, is only physically honest. In fact, even the brain and eyes, it can be said that there is no moment of idleness. A pair of eyes seemed to be staring at the gold bricks on the ground in front of him, but in fact, he was constantly looking at the furnishings in the Wende Hall with his spare eyes.

I was a little nervous when I came in last time, but I just took a slight look at the structure of the hall. This time, anyway, the emperor didn't have time to take care of himself for the time being, so Huang Qiong planned to see enough before talking. Although back in this era, Huang Qiong has never recopied the old business, but he still sees with an accurate eye that every furnishing in this hall is enough for him to have a worry-free life in the future generations.

First of all, the emperor is working on the whole Nanmu made of the imperial case, the Jun porcelain pen wash on the imperial case, and the two gilded bronze cranes in front of the throne in the palace. Just behind the emperor's throne, the authentic screen of Liu Gongquan, a master of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, is enough to make Huang Qiong salivate.

Bai Huang Qiong herself had enough of myopia in her previous life, and knew that in the era she was in now, if she made her eyes myopia, she wouldn't even have a place to match glasses. Once the eye is broken, you can't even find a place to repair it. So after returning to this era, he has been careful to protect his eyes, so that his current vision is excellent.

Even though the screen was placed, it was still a certain distance away from him. But Huang Qiong can still clearly judge that the words on the screen are definitely the authentic handwriting of Liu Gongquan. And it was not framed later, but directly on the screen. Just such a screen, in his previous life, was worth at least tens of millions.

Looking at this extremely rare screen in her previous life, Huang Qiong, who was used to antiques in her previous life, almost didn't leave her saliva on the spot. If it weren't for the emperor sitting in front of the screen, he would have run over and put his hands up and down. While constantly looking at this screen secretly, Huang Qiong kept shouting in her heart: "Violent Heavenly Things, too violent Heavenly Things." ”

"If such a screen had been given to me, it would have been carefully stored a long time ago, and it would have been placed so casually there? No wonder so many people are quite emperors, not to mention almost boundless rights. It's this luxury, which can be placed casually in the real works of celebrities that are not taken seriously. The most important thing is that this authentic painting must have come from nothing. ”

Huang Qiong stared at the screen that made him salivate, but he didn't hear the voice of the emperor Lao Tzu, who had already finished the work at hand, calling him several times. It wasn't until the prince condescended to walk in front of him, gently patted him on the shoulder, and shouted several times that Huang Qiong woke up from his trance.

Seeing that although the prince's tone was kind, he was standing in front of him with a somewhat unkind face. Huang Qiong, who reacted, hurriedly bowed down and said, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince commands, my brother will listen to you." ”

Huang Qiong sighed in such a low voice, and the prince's face softened slightly: "I don't know what the ninth brother is thinking, is it like a beautiful flower, or something else, that makes the ninth brother so distracted?" Even when your father and eldest brother called you several times, they didn't reflect it. ”

Hearing the prince's words, Huang Qiong hurriedly bowed to the emperor and said: "Erchen just saw the screen behind his father, it seems to be the authentic handiwork of Liu Gongquan, a calligrapher of the former Tang Dynasty, and he was fascinated for a while. I didn't hear the words of my father and the crown prince, and I was somewhat out of honor in front of the king, and I asked my father and the prince to forgive me. ”

Huang Qiong, the mood of Lao Tzu, looks really good today. Hearing Huang Qiong's words, instead of pursuing his misdeeds, he walked up to Huang Qiong and said, "It seems that Shiren is very discerning." That's right, this screen is the authentic handiwork of the former Tang Dynasty calligrapher Liu Shaoshi. I have always liked the words of this Liu family, could it be that Shiren also likes this Young Master Liu? ”

Although I don't know what I mean by this question, the emperor Lao Tzu. But Huang Qiong still nodded honestly and said: "Since my son was enlightened, he has learned the calligraphy of this Young Master Liu with his mother, so he loves this Young Master Liu's characters very much." ”

"Then how much do you know about the words of this Liu family? Let's listen to me, I'll test you today, look at your mother's knowledge, how much have you learned? Hearing that Huang Qiong had learned Liu Gongquan's calligraphy since childhood, the emperor asked with some interest.

"The words of the Liu family, take a balanced hard and thin, and chase Wei Bei to cut the iron. The dot painting is crisp and beautiful, and the bones are strong. The book is expensive, thin and hard, and it is his regular script. Because of its unique style, it is juxtaposed with Yan Zhenqing, another calligrapher in the former Tang Dynasty, and has the saying of Yan muscles and willow bones. ”

Huang Qiong liked the works of this late Tang Dynasty calligrapher quite a lot in his previous life, and in this life, he learned his calligraphy since he learned to write. As a person in two lives, I have seen the evaluation of many predecessors and descendants of this calligrapher. Therefore, under the emperor's examination, he did not open his mouth without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes, Yan Jiuliugu's sentence is exactly the point. It seems that you don't have an ordinary understanding of the works of this Liu family. Then do you know how Liu Gongquan answered when the former Tang Muzong asked Liu Gongquan how to use the pen? Hearing that Huang Qiong had learned Liu Gongquan's calligraphy since childhood, the emperor was quite happy to ask more.

"This son knows that the former Tang Muzong was desolate, feasting too much, traveling excessively, and the people and officials were miserable. In order to persuade him, Young Master Liu once replied to Yun: Use the pen in your heart, and your heart is right. The implication is to use the pen to persuade Tang Muzong to put his mind on government affairs. Huang Qiong knew this common sense in her previous life.

Regarding Huang Qiong's answer, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. It seems to be to the crown prince, and it seems to say to Huang Qiong: "Although this dynasty said that it took over the world of the former Tang Dynasty, not all the emperors of the former Tang Dynasty were deaf, and the way of governing the country of several of them is still very worthy of reference for our dynasty, especially the two emperors Taizong and Xianzong." ”

Although later generations commented that the three emperors of Taizong, Xuanzong, and Xianzong went hand in hand, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty first brightened and then darkened, favored traitors, and took away children and wives to fill the harem, which eventually led to the Anshi Rebellion, which made the former Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline. Therefore, I don't want to see this Emperor Xuanzong. On the contrary, it was Tang Xuanzong, when I entered Chang'an, the people of the world were still worried about his virtue and politics. ”

"When the dynasty first decided the world, because of the current situation, many emperors of the former Tang Dynasty were belittled. But even Emperor Taizu of the year privately praised several emperors of the former Tang Dynasty, such as Tang Taizong, Tang Xianzong, and Tang Xuanzong. Especially Tang Taizong, who single-handedly created the former Tang Dynasty. He hated being born hundreds of years late, and he failed to compete with this heavenly khan. ”

Hearing that he, the emperor Lao Tzu, sighed for Taizu, Huang Qiong couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. His own Emperor Taizu is too exaggerated, as far as what he did when he entered Chang'an, how can he have a little momentum of the founding monarch? If it weren't for Emperor Taizong's painstaking planning and support for the King of Guilin, this Emperor Taizu would have been buried in the Tiger and Wolf Valley of Mount Tai like the history he knew in later generations.

Since entering Chang'an, Emperor Taizu has not thought of making progress, and he is safe when he is rich. Instead of chasing the poor with the rest of the Yong, it is only higher than the Tang Xizong who completely ruined the former Tang Jiangshan. I still want to compete with Tang Taizong, who single-handedly defeated most of the former Tang Dynasty, isn't this a fool's dream?

just thought so in his heart, but unless he was looking for death, Huang Qiong never dared to say it in front of the emperor. can only say at the emperor's words: "Although Emperor Taizong of the former Tang Dynasty is heroic, he himself is a son of a nobleman. It is far inferior to Emperor Taizu of our dynasty, who was born reckless and self-made and single-handedly laid a great country. ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's sycophants, the emperor shook his head and said: "Even so, it can't be generalized. The former Tang Dynasty Taizong raised troops in troubled times, experienced dozens of battles, and leveled the world. Even if there was a change in Xuanwumen, killing his brother and forcing his father to abdicate became its stain. But after all, it is still flawed, and what he does should be a model for emperors of all dynasties. ”

"Every time I read "History of the Tang Dynasty" and read "Taizong Benji", I am always overwhelmed with emotion." Speaking of this, the emperor was a little distracted, as if he was thinking of Tang Taizong's Jin Ge Iron Horse and the majestic posture of a hundred battles. Looking at the emperor who was a little distracted, Huang Qiong and the crown prince didn't dare to disturb anyone, so they could only stand quietly aside.

After a long time, the emperor who came back to his senses turned around, looked at the two sons in front of him and said, "Tang Taizong can be called a model for my generation whether he is a king or a general. In life, there should be something to do and something not to do. Life should be a masterpiece, and death is also a ghost, this is what a husband is called. If you want to learn from Tang Taizong, you must keep this in mind. ”

When the emperor said this, it can be said that he was quite speechless. If he had said it to the prince alone, it would have been nothing. After all, the crown prince is the prince of a country, and he is ready to take his place. But there is still a Huang Qiong standing in front of him, and he is talking about you, not the prince of the fingers. In other words, these words were not only for the prince, but also for Huang Qiong.

The prince, the future emperor, has no problem learning from Tang Taizong, after all, Tang Taizong is enough to be a model for emperors in the past. But what did Huang Qiong, the king of the county, do when he studied Tang Taizong? Could it be that Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also made a change in Xuanwumen, and it was impossible to kill his brother and take the heir?

When the emperor said this unintentionally, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the prince's face standing beside Huang Qiong couldn't help but change. Despite the change in the prince's face, he returned to normal in a very short time, as if it had never happened. It's just that although this change is subtle, it is still seen by Huang Qiong.

Regarding the thoughts of the two sons around him, the emperor didn't seem to see it, but said to himself: "How heroic and martial was Taizong of the Tang Dynasty back then, he single-handedly laid down the former Tang Dynasty, and the territory was the crown of all dynasties, and his prestige reached the extreme west. It's a pity that the descendants of later generations are not good, first there are Wu usurped power, and then there are eunuchs who mess with the government, and they will hand over this great country to our dynasty. ”

"That's why I asked you to read more "History of the Tang Dynasty", although the "History of the Tang Dynasty" revised by this dynasty is a bit exaggerated, but it can still be used as a reference for politics. You must be clear about the real reasons for the collapse of the former Tang Dynasty, and you must also understand the difficulty of Emperor Taizu's entrepreneurship, and you must not become those losers of the former Tang Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly turned his head to look at Huang Qiong and said, "Shiren, you have been studying with your mother since you were a child. And your mother's talent is rare in the world, and it is not inferior to the great Confucians of the current dynasty. As long as you get five points of your mother's true biography, I'm afraid you will be shocked. I'm going to take the exam for you today, and you can tell me what is the real reason for the death of the former Tang Dynasty? ”
