Just as Li Chengqian began to be busy with cotton clothes, some people began to behave as demons.

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

And Li Shimin is writing calligraphy, which is rare to be casual today.

So, he began to write.

His font is very good-looking, and it will not be worse than Ouyang Xun at all.

Then Liu Hongji said respectfully:

"Your Majesty's Danqing, there is really no one before or after, every word is like flowing water, which makes people never get tired of it!"

Liu Hongji really has a set of flatterers, which made Li Shimin laugh when he heard it.

"I just like honest people like you! Tell the truth! It's rare to know! Hahaha! ”

Li Shimin was an outstanding emperor, and today we will only talk about his attainments in calligraphy. Li Shimin personally advocated calligraphy, and promoted Tang Dynasty calligraphy to become a glorious page in the history of Chinese calligraphy. He especially loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and even created a precedent for carving tablets with calligraphy.

Because Liu Hongji didn't lie, but at this time he was flattering, and it was inevitable that there would be some flattering elements.

Liu Hongji said bluntly: "Yes! The minister is telling the truth. Your Majesty's Danqing can be described as shocking ancient and modern, and people can enjoy it! If it is published in a book, let the people observe more, and more calligraphers will be created! ”

Liu Hongji's words made Li Shimin happy, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Liu Hongji, do you know that I am in the book of the ancients, but I don't learn its situation, but I am seeking its backbone, and the situation is self-generated. This calligraphy and painting emphasizes the muscles and bones, and the spiritual outlook and dignified strength contained in it! For future generations to learn! ”

"Yes, yes, what Your Majesty said is extremely true! The bones of His Majesty's book, that is the spirit of standing up to the sky and the earth! It's just that the minister is a little curious, why did His Majesty practice such a bold calligraphy? ”

Li Shimin smiled, looking complacent.

Then he said: "Studying the path of learning, at the beginning is not urgent, sometimes or pay attention, it is better to abandon the sun, all the arts, those who have not learned and cannot also, sick in the heart of slack, can not concentrate on the ear." ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, especially when he talked about calligraphy, he couldn't stop directly, and Liu Hongji on the side also kept echoing his words, after all, he was cool, and everyone was better.

"Your Majesty's attainments are really very deep, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can match His Majesty's attainments, then it will be even better! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can spend more time on calligraphy, it will not be bad! ”

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

Sure enough, as soon as Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian's name, he asked:

"That's right! What happened to Gao Ming? ”

Li Shimin knew that there must be a reason for this guy to say this, so he asked this question.

Liu Hongji saw that the time had come, so he began to say: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been collecting cotton recently, which makes people scratch their heads. The minister thought that he must have wanted to use it for ornamental purposes! But what does the minister think, what is there to look at this cotton? His Royal Highness the Prince's heart is really elusive. ”

Cotton, as the observation flower of the people of the Tang Dynasty, 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: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spent a lot of money and began to buy a large amount of cotton in the East Palace, and the minister didn't know what he was doing. But there is something wrong with buying flowers, and I think it may be caused by His Royal Highness the Prince's playfulness. ”

If this guy dared to say this in front of Li Chengqian, he would inevitably be scolded to the core, and he dared to say this when Li Chengqian was not present.

Spent a lot of money to buy some useless things, Li Chengqian should not do this, Li Shimin also didn't want to believe it, but listening to Liu Hongji, all this seems to be true.

"Huh? You go with me and see! Although Gao Ming has some achievements, but this achievement is really nothing, he can't be complacent and wasted! ”

Li Shimin said this, in their opinion, Li Chengqian is just playing, where do they 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, and he wants to do a big thing that can change the entire Tang Dynasty.

Who knows, his busyness has attracted the framing of traitors, and this traitor made Li Shimin come to the East Palace to see Li Chengqian's ugliness, and I am afraid that he has no good intentions.

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

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

Liu Hongji made up another knife, and in the next step, if Li Chengqian is really as he said, it must be to make his Shangshu order fail.

When Li Shimin heard this, he said:

"Liu Hongji, you don't have to excuse him! He's the crown prince, but he's not like everyone else. I want to see what this kid is doing. Walk! You come with me to the East Palace. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

It can be felt that Liu Hongji is very happy at this time.

Without waiting for Li Shimin to leave the Taiji Palace, Empress Changsun appeared with Li Liqing.

Li Lizhen saluted Li Shimin.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite!"

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

Empress Eldest Sun also came over at this time and asked:

"Your Majesty, where are you going now?"

"Look at your good son!"

"What's wrong with the royal brother?"

Li Li asked, but Li Shimin ignored it and went to the East Palace instead.

"What's wrong with Gao Ming? During this period of time, he did not relax! ”

"Then why is he buying flowers now?"

Li Shimin's face was gloomy and he said directly.

"Could it be that I bought it for the harem concubines? Last time he gave me a recipe, which was very easy to use, and after using it for the concubine, the skin was much better than before. ”

"Oh? Really? ”

Li Shimin's tone was somewhat softened.

Empress Eldest Sun also breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's right."

Liu Hongji can't let Li Shimin stay.

So he said, "Your Majesty, that cotton is colorless and odorless, and it doesn't look like something that can be used for skin beautification." I thought it would be better to go and see it! ”

"Aiqing is right, I want to go and see, so as not to be deceived and don't know."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Liu Hongji did not forget to make up for it.

Let Empress Changsun give this Liu Hongji a blank look.

Liu Hongji was sneering.

But the eldest grandson queen said that she would go and see it, so she said:

"If Your Majesty wants to go and see, the concubine also wants to follow."

"It's okay, you go with me! Bring the beauty! ”

So the group waited and went to the East Palace.

At this time, the East Palace was already unrecognizable, and it was not what they had seen before.
