Chapter 49: Li Shimin
In the magnificent Daxing Palace, the Wangyun Pavilion on the west coast. In his twilight years, Li Yuan loved calligraphy, and was burning incense in the pavilion, writing hard, although he couldn't write well...... But I just like to write.
"Hyun Zhen, what do you think?" Li Yuan put down his pen and asked Pei Lin with a smile.
Pei Lian, whose name is Xuanzhen, was the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. I watched Li Yuan's works very seriously for a while, and said slowly: "It's very well written, it's better than me anyway." ”
"Haha." Li Yuan smiled helplessly, "I know you want to say that I don't write well, that's it." King Qin, come and write, I haven't seen your calligraphy for a long time. ”
Li Shimin, who was arrogant, took the pen and asked the palace maid to spread out the rice paper, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, splashing ink on it:
The moon is half a day, and the arrows are far away.
The falling geese are frightened by the book, and the ape is turning around.
……
Although Li Shimin is a general and generalissimo who fought in all directions, he is very fond of poetry and calligraphy, and his achievements are not low, and he is one of the representative figures of calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin is a die-hard fan of the great calligrapher "Calligraphy Sage" Wang Xizhi, and highly admires Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and his calligraphy style also adheres to Wang Xizhi's style, which is peaceful and natural, healthy and beautiful, and has the spirit of a tyrant who fights in all directions.
Li Yuan stroked his beard, "What kind of poem is this?" ”
"Bow." Li Shimin replied.
"Haha, that's good." Li Yuan laughed, "Erlang, your poetry and calligraphy have become more and more sophisticated. ”
"It's just fun to entertain yourself."
Li Yuan waved his hand, "Eh, you don't have to be modest, in terms of calligraphy, it is not much better than Ouyang Xun, and in terms of poetry and writing, it is also among the best in Chang'an City." ”
Li Shimin shook his head: "Compared to those literati, I am still ashamed of myself. ”
"Do you know about Li Yaoji?" Li Yuan suddenly asked.
"I know a little, I am talented, resourceful, and a little indifferent to fame and fortune." Li Shimin replied.
Li Yuan smiled and disagreed with Li Shimin's thoughts: "What is indifferent to fame and fortune, I think it is clearly a talented and arrogant." However, the lyrics of these new poems created by him are unprecedented. ”
"It's a pity that it can't be used by the country." Li Shimin shook his head.
"This is not accurate, maybe he will be willing to be a leader in the future, he is now relying on his family wealth, so he is so indifferent, if the family is surrounded by walls, do you think he will come out to be an official?"
Li Shimin nodded, "Father is reasonable. ”
Li Yuan sighed, "Military generals are used in troubled times, and civil servants are valued in prosperous times." Li Yaowei was brilliantly talented, and he founded the newspaper, which really promoted the atmosphere of reading among young people in Chang'an. If this kind of atmosphere can be maintained, maybe he can really make outstanding contributions to my Datang. ”
"But it is not yet known whether he also has high views in governing the country for officials." Pei Lin interjected.
Li Yuan nodded, "This is also the reason why I made him an official, if he wants to be an official on a whim, or has a good plan, it is also convenient." ”
"By the way, what's the situation on the Turkic side?" Li Yuan asked Pei Lian.
Pei Lin replied: "The Turks have been attacking Lingzhou for a long time, Shuozhou is not down, and the vitality is greatly injured. ”
"Father, we can't be beaten so passively, the people in the border are struggling to make a living, we can try to take the initiative." Li Shimin proposed.
"Now that the military strength in various places is tense, it is not appropriate to attack."
Li Shimin's phoenix eyes are like gods, and he is ambitious: "Father, I am willing to devote my life to the society, and I only want to expel the enemy and ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Yuan frowned, "The Turks are not enough to worry about, you have been fighting for many years and are tired, so take a good rest first." ”
"Your Majesty is right, King Qin doesn't need to be so worried, he should recuperate and recharge, just in case." Pei Lin also spoke.
"Yes." Li Shimin replied in a deep voice, his eyes inadvertently flashing a trace of fierceness.
Pei Lian, you killed Liu Wenjing, and now you are fully supporting the prince, after the next day is completed, it will be your death! Li Shimin was slightly angry in his heart.
……
"Eldest brother, second brother asked my father to send troops to attack the Turks, but was refused." Li Yuanji was in the Mingde Hall of the East Palace and said to Li Jiancheng.
"He's really a thief!" Li Jiancheng slapped the armrest of the chair angrily.
Li Yuanji's eyes were gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, his expedition for the country is simply an excuse, and the real purpose is to make further meritorious contributions and take your position in the future." ”
Li Jiancheng's face was gloomy, "We have to speed up our actions, there are too many talents under his Qin Palace, although my father expelled some people from Beijing a few years ago, it is still a scourge, especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui!" As long as the two of them are still there, the Qin Wangfu is a big threat. Somehow must be found to get rid of these two! ”
"Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie are also not to be underestimated, we can try to win them over."
Li Jiancheng sighed, "I'm afraid it's difficult, the generals are loyal, and it's not easy to win over." These days, the Turkic wars are continuous, so don't make a big deal about it first. Let's first recruit some talents, as well as the ministers of the court, and strive to get the support of more courtiers, as long as the ministers of the court and the central government support me, there is no need to worry about the Qin Wangfu. ”
……
On the other side, Hongyi Palace in the northwest of Daxing Palace (Taiji Palace), that is, the Qin Palace, Li Shimin frowned, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui sat in front of him, and the somewhat old Fang Xuanling spoke: "Your Majesty's suspicion of the king is getting deeper and deeper, and it is not a good strategy to go down this time." ”
Du Ruhui also agreed with Fang Xuanling's point of view: "That's right, Your Majesty has been very partial to the prince over the years, and the prince has colluded with the king of Qi and the harem concubines to frame you many times, but Your Majesty always believes it." Listen to the prince's slander and expel the people in the king's palace. I'm afraid that in a short time, the Qin Wangfu will be left without a pawn. ”
Li Shimin sighed, "Even so, I am connected with the crown prince by flesh and blood, and we have never been able to meet each other." In addition, the Turkic incursions are frequent, and the safety of the community should be the top priority at present. ”
In the eighth year of Wude, the fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was peaceful, and they restrained each other. At least on the surface, it is still harmonious and respectful, and the country is the most important.
……
The emperor's family affairs are difficult for outsiders to know.
But Li Yaowei knows that next year, Datang will usher in a great change.
At this time, Li Yaoyu had nothing to do, and continued to play with the fifth Yao Xiaoxuan.
"Xianggong, I won!" Xiao Xuan took a long string of planes, then put her face in front of Li Yaoyu and said with a smile.
it! As a landlord, Li Yaowei was almost angry and cried, "I still have Wang Fang in my hand." ”
Who would have thought that Xiao Xuan's cards are so good.
Seeing Xiao Xuan triumphant, and put his face in front of him, such a good opportunity, how could Li Yaojian miss it?
He stepped forward and kissed her on the lips......
Xiao Xuan was taken aback by Li Yaoji's sudden movements, and after dodging, she pouted and looked at Li Yaoji: "Xianggong, don't play hooligans when playing games!" ”
"What do you mean by playing hooligan, I kiss my lady, what's the problem? And when you come to me, don't you want me to kiss you? "Li Yaojie hit a rake.
Fifth Yao helplessly held her forehead, "You're quite good at messing around." ”
Li Yaowei smiled evilly, looked at the two women, raised his eyebrows and said, "Or, let's add some color?" The loser takes off a piece of clothing? ”
This bad man, this must be so shameless! Fifth Yao and Xiao Xuan were speechless, blushing with shame from his words, Fifth Yao grabbed a pillow and smashed it in his face.
