"Let's polish the ink."

Seeing that Li Shimin was going to do it himself, the eldest grandson Wuji was still stable, so he quickly took the ink from Li Shimin's hand and polished it twice for Li Mu. How much can be grinded out in two strokes, Li Mu was dissatisfied: "Uncle Guo, that's it?" ”

"That's not enough for you to write a word? Write a word, and you can tell the truth is fake! ”

That's what happened.

Li Mu shook his head and sighed, holding the pen and dipping it in ink. Hanging his wrists, closing his eyes, but not moving. Everyone's attention was attracted by his hanging wrist posture, but he didn't move for a long time, and he didn't understand what was going on. Li Shimin was the first to be impatient and said: "Li Mu, if you can't write it, hurry up and admit it!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't disturb the artistic conception of the scholar." Li Mu was about to pretend to be forced, but Li Shimin didn't give him a chance, urging: "Less nonsense, hurry up and write!" ”

"Written, written......" Li Mu pretended to be unable to do it, opened his eyes, and finally put pen to paper.

First of all, like a bird turning sideways.

Then there is a horizontal, such as the reins of the horse.

Vertical as a crossbow, the force through the back of the paper.

The hook is, jumps, and jumps.

Suggestion is like a whip for riding a horse.

Skimming is plundering, such as using a grate to sweep hair.

The short skimming is a peck, like a bird's peck.

It is a stone, the sound is narrow, the crack is a stone, and the pen is open.

The square rice paper, an upright word "Yong" jumped on the paper. Everyone in the audience was stunned, a good hand, a good Yongzi!

Li Shimin's expression stiffened, he twisted his brows, leaned closer to the paper, and looked at it carefully again. The ink is not dry, it is indeed just written. He couldn't help but look at Li Mu, and secretly said in his heart, is there really a genius in this world? Or is this kid clumsy, this word "Yong" can never be written without more than 30 years of immersion, Li Mu only took three days, how can he do it?

Li Mu threw the wolf pen away, and was proud: "Your Majesty, princesses, what do you think of my 'Yong' word?" ”

No one spoke, although they all knew that it was good, but just now Li Shimin was so full of words, and now he obviously lost the bet, who dares to take the stubble at this time?

Li Shimin couldn't believe his eyes, picked up the ink and grinded it a few times, and said, "You write a few more words, write a few more words!" ”

Li Mu took out a copper coin, put it on the table, and said, "How about the minister write this 'Kaiyuan Tongbao'?" ”

"Write, write, write!"

Li Mu picked up the wolf pen, stained it with ink, brushed a little bit, and wrote the words "Kaiyuan Tongbao" on the rice paper. Everyone subconsciously compared the words on the copper coins and found that they were the same. If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew that the words on the copper coin were the words ordered by Li Yuan to ask Ouyang for questioning, and when they saw Li Mu write it, they would have been his handwriting.

Li Shimin couldn't believe it anymore, he looked at the words in a daze, then looked at Li Mu, and said sluggishly: "How did you do it?" ”

Li Mu smiled: "What's so difficult about this? For the great genius Li Mu, learning characters is just a trivial matter, so I use it...... Probably a cup of tea? Almost, just a cup of tea. ”

"Hugh is wild!" When Li Shimin heard this, he felt as if his IQ had been pressed to the ground and rubbed, and said angrily: "If you talk about it again, how can it happen to practice calligraphy overnight?" ”

"Why don't anyone believe me when I tell the truth" Li Mu said helplessly: "Otherwise, Your Majesty Xuan Ouyang came over and asked him, how much time did it take for the minister to come to the door to learn words?" ”

Gonggong Gao said at the right time next to him: "Your Majesty, today the Chongwen Pavilion is sorting out the books, and it just so happens that Master Ouyang is here." ”

"Call him over!" Li Shimin blushed and said in a muffled voice.

Gonggong Gao turned around and left, and after a while, he came over with Ouyang Xun. When Ouyang Xun saw Li Shimin, he wanted to salute. Li Shimin stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Master Ouyang doesn't need to be polite, I came to you because I want to know." How much time did it take for Li Mu to learn words, and how did you teach him? ”

"The old minister didn't teach the Marquis of Zhulu."

"What?"

Ouyang Xun seemed to be determined to "draw a clear line" with Li Mu, and was not frightened by Li Shimin's surprise, and calmly explained: "Zhuluhou once came to learn calligraphy, but the old minister did not teach him. He just looked at the calligraphy that Lao Chen had accumulated over the years, and he ...... about it" Ouyang Xun thought for a while, and said: "It's almost a stick of incense, so he picked up the pen and wrote a 'Kaiyuan Tongbao', seeing these four words, the old minister knew that Yu Kaishu was together, and the old minister had nothing to teach the Hou of Zhulu." ”

Ouyang Xun sighed and said, "In recent years, Lao Chen has focused all his energy on the line. Strictly speaking, Lao Chen's pen power in regular script is not as good as that of Zhuluhou. ”

"Hiss......" Li Shimin gasped, and then looked at Li Mu's gaze, a little more surprised. A stick of incense, just look, didn't learn, don't ask, just write, and write better than the owner, is this still a person? Is this true?

Suddenly, a thought appeared in Li Shimin's mind, Li Mu, this kid, wrote "Kaiyuan Tongbao" in front of Ouyang Xun, and what he wrote just now was also "Kaiyuan Tongbao", should he only write these four words?

"Li Mu, you write a few more words, this time I will talk about the content, you will write: 'All nations come to the court', write it to me to see!"

Isn't it exposed?

Li Mu slandered in his heart, and wrote four more words with a pen.

Ouyang Xun watched from the side and praised: "The skill of chasing the deer Hou Yun's pen has surpassed that of the old man." ”

As one of the masters of calligraphy in the world, Ouyang Xun said such a sentence, Li Shimin couldn't believe it, so he had to admit defeat, glanced at Li Mu, and said angrily: "Yes, even if you are a good kid, I lost." What do you want, say? ”

"Hmm" Li Mu turned his pen, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still thinks that you have to make me a prince." ”

Again!

Li Shimin said angrily: "Is it okay for me to let you be the emperor?" The prince is either my son or my brother, and he has to be a descendant! Are you touched? Although you have entered the clan, you can be a county king at most! ”

Li Mu hurriedly hit the snake with the stick and said, "The king of the county is also fine, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

This is too shameful!

Not only Li Shimin was stunned, but everyone next to him was stunned. Or Wei Zheng reacted faster, was the first to come to his senses, and scolded angrily: "Li Mu, isn't it child's play to be crowned king?" What virtue do you have, and how can you be worthy of the title of king? ”

"What are you shouting, does it have anything to do with you?" Li Mu looked at Wei Zheng, and his mouth cannon couldn't help but want to start, and he sneered at each other, and said, "Your Majesty said that as long as I write it, I should do anything?" I said I wanted to be a prince, but His Majesty said no. If it doesn't work, it won't work, I'm a good talker, it's not that I can't negotiate, I retreat to the next best, and I can't be a county king? Your Majesty didn't say no, what did you say when a doctor came out? Do you want to make decisions for Your Majesty, or do you want to put my emperor in the situation of a treacherous villain? Good you Wei Zheng, what are your intentions! ”

"I ......" Wei Zheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and he didn't care about any courtesy, so he pushed the eldest grandson Wuji next to him, and said, "It's a word!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji just hadn't recovered from Li Mu's bold words, and was pushed by Wei Zheng like this, sobered up, and hurriedly said: "Li Mu, you are talking nonsense." As a minister, the rank of prince is already extremely glorious, and you want to be crowned king, do you want to rebel? ”

Li Mu laughed and said, "Uncle Guo, you said that anything is possible for me, but this rebellion you said was just me, who can believe it!" Okay, just kidding, what are you doing so seriously. If you don't let it, you won't let it, and you won't force it...... Then I'll take a step back, Your Majesty, have you promised my twist? ”

Li Shimin was already confused, and said, "What kind of twist?" Let me promise something? ”

"That's it...... Oh, here. Li Mu's eyes were sharp, and after seeing the fold that was placed next to Li Shimin's desk after everyone circulated it, he ran over and took it, handed it to Li Shimin, and said: "It's the matter of the East and West Investigation Factory, Your Majesty, don't think that the minister is making a fuss." Don't you know, how many people are watching this person? The minister will not name who it is or which side of the force. As far as the matter is concerned, isn't this some time ago, I taught a group of craftsmen to come out, there are so many shameless people, they began to ponder, do everything, coercion and temptation all kinds of tricks are used, want to poach the craftsmen I taught, I bah, stinky shameless! ”

Speaking of "stinky and shameless", Li Mu's eyes swept to the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang intentionally or unintentionally, both of whom avoided their gaze, but everyone could see that they were more or less weak-hearted.

Li Shimin took in everyone's expressions, and naturally saw what was going on, and secretly muttered in his heart.

Although Li Mu's kid is hateful, he does things for himself. Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has set up a shelf with the Ministry of Industry, and the money is indispensable for this group of craftsmen taught by Li Mu, if it is really won by Xungui and the gate valve, it is still the internal money that will be lost.

"Alright, don't talk nonsense, I promised. But I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for a while."

Suddenly, Li Shimin paused, frowned, and when he looked at Li Mu again, his eyes became unkind.

"Li Mu, I almost forgot. It seems that I have removed you from the post of Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now you are a white person, what kind of notebook do you still have? What does the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to do with you? ”

Li Mu was choked speechless, he had forgotten about this stubble. That's right, they were all dismissed, what else is written?

Seeing that Li Mu was speechless, a smile appeared on his face, and he threw the fold into Li Mu's arms, saying, "Take your fold and get out, I don't want to see you." ”

Everyone around couldn't help laughing, and when they looked at Li Mu's eyes, they were also a little gloating.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu turned his head dejectedly and walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he was just about to step out, when he suddenly turned around.

Li Shimin wrinkled his brows and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, we have to be reasonable, I just used the opportunity to make a request to ask you to promise me. Now that you're saying that I'm not qualified to write this recital, do you have to give me back the opportunity to make my request? ”

Li Shimin didn't know what Li Mu had in mind, but Li'er was such a reason, nodded, and said, "Naturally, I will return it to you, what?" Do you have any other requests? ”

"Hey, hey." Li Mu turned around and came back, pulling out a stack of invitations from his sleeve.

"Three days later, the shop will be opened, and Your Majesty and the princes will be invited to cheer you on. If you come at that time, you can receive a thousand chips with this invitation. If you win, take it, if you lose, it's mine, it's fun, it's fun! ”

Li Mu handed over the invitations one by one, Li Shimin opened the invitation, his brows twisted like twists, and said, "You are ...... Opened a gambling house? ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you forgot, we talked about it."

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and finally found this paragraph from his memory, and he did say it. In order to subsidize Li Mu, he was allowed to do a little business. But at that time, it was not decided that it was a gambling house, but there was something to say, and it was difficult to say anything. In the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there is no provision that gambling is not allowed. Moreover, Li Mu's business is reasonable, and he also wants to support it.

Others are even more so, they have a little to do with Li Mu in terms of business, although he is not the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs now. But who doesn't know, this is just His Majesty and Li Mu teasing him, the House of Internal Affairs, without Li Mu, can't find a second person, sooner or later it's still him.

Li Shimin closed the invitation card and said, "Okay, I'll give you a cheer, but I have to go out on patrol." ”

"Just go, thank you." Li Mu arched his hand, turned around and went happily. Everyone shook their heads helplessly, and when they returned to their seats, the food was already cold. Li Shimin is not an arrogant and lascivious emperor, he is reluctant to withdraw and serve the dish again. Serve it hot and serve it up? It seems to be a little shabby again, and the interest in drinking is gone, so it ends here, and the excitement is gone.

Everyone retreated, Li Shimin returned to the table, looked at the words written by Li Mu, and still couldn't believe it: "Gao Gan, you say, what's the matter with this kid?" Yuan Tiangang said that he was a person of Su Hui, and there were rumors in the market that he was an immortal in the world, is it true? ”

At this time, it shows that the goldfish is not given in vain. Father-in-law Gao is also a good person, and he has been with Li Shimin for many years, how could he not guess that His Majesty is jealous. With a roll of his eyes, he thought of the rhetoric, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that this is a good thing." You think, you are the Son of Heaven, and you naturally have to be assisted by immortals in order to achieve great things. Zhuluhou has such ability, isn't it in response to this? He is the person sent by God to assist His Majesty in his achievements. ”

"Hahaha......" Li Shimin laughed for a while, put away Li Mu's words, and said: "As long as you can speak, okay, borrow your auspicious words, I am the Son of Heaven, he is an immortal......" Suddenly, Li Shimin's smile gradually faded, and said: "However, you can't indulge him too much." This kid calculated that I was reluctant to do anything to him, and he became more and more arrogant. The false proclamation of the Divine Decree is an example of this, and this cannot be allowed to happen again. Moreover, I also felt that it was too unsafe to let him have someone in his hands. The matter of this factory guard can no longer pass through his hands, I have to think about it. ”

Gao Gonggong didn't say a word, he didn't dare to participate in this kind of topic.

"Go and send a message to Yuan Tiangang and ask him to check if what Li Mu said is true. What kind of person is it, the idea of hitting the factory, don't be alarmed if you find out, and report it to me. ”

"No."
