The passage of time was like this. Kong Lao Er's words were really right. When he closed his eyes, Li Zhi was already almost three years old, and Xu Sui was already a four-year-old kid.
In this era where one could marry a wife and have children at the age of 13 or 14, Li Zhi could be considered a small adult. Perhaps it was because he had transmigrated or because his nutrition was too good, he looked like a six or seven-year-old child.
At least Li Zhi was living alone now, and he had a few lackeys by his side. The one leading them was Little Guizi.
The two-year-old Li Zhi had frightened countless people with his small legs. Ever since he could walk, Li Zhi could be considered a tyrant in the palace. People called him "Li Gong Ba".
The entire Daming Palace was in chaos, but Li Zhi was the Empress's Di son, one of the Emperor's favorite sons. He was also young, so no one dared to snitch.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, when Chun Tao was taking a bath, her clothes disappeared. Today, she was scolded so pitifully by the manager.”
"That's already outdated. The latest news this morning was that Qiuxiang (sweaty) fainted from fright when she found out that there were toads under her blanket.”(Waterfall Sweat)
"This is nothing. Just now, when the steward who scolded Chun Tao went to the toilet, he tripped over someone and buried his head in the latrine pit.”(Yellow Fruit Tree Waterfall Sweat)
"Could this be the work of the Ninth Prince, Li Gongba?”
"Something like that, hehe."
All these years, the palace maids had been trying their best to hype up Li Zhi's name with the speed of the paparazzi in the 21st century. For a time, the reputation of Li Gongba was spread everywhere in the Great Ming Palace.
Even Li Zhi, who was sitting on the fake mountain and looking as if his life was as lonely as snow, had heard of it like thunder. How could he have heard of it? Wahahaha.
But now, Xiao Guizi could not laugh. Xiao Guizi bent down and begged Grandma to pray to Bodhisattva," Your Highness, please don't scare me. I can't take it. I'm already half dead. Your Highness, please come down. I beg you. If Your Highness wants to play, I'll accompany Your Highness to have some fun."”
Looking at Little Guizi, who was running around anxiously under the rockery, the two-year-old Li Zhi raised his tender face slightly."Ah, life is really as lonely as snow. Little Guizi, you don't understand.”
After saying that, he put on a Thinker's pose and pondered. This was what Li Zhi had been doing since lunch today.
No television, no computer, no iPartment, no Crossfire. Fine, it didn't matter if he didn't have these. There were still many pretty girls in the Great Ming Palace. But he lowered his head and touched his button-sized little brother. Heh, even if Audrey Hepburn was naked in front of him, there was nothing he could do. Life was really lonely like snow.
Li Zhi. This was his current name. He had already been in this era for two years. In his previous life, he was just a third-year student in a second-rate university. He liked to cross the line of fire, like Muto Lan, Yui Hatano, and Sora Aoi's sisters. He was just playing games, and he had unknowingly crossed over. The " Dream of the Qing Dynasty " was only a few hundred years old, but he had directly dreamed of a thousand years and came to the Tang Dynasty.
History isn't my forte, but fortunately, I know some famous people.
For example, some pretty girls in history, such as Princess Gao Yang, and his soon-to-be born martial girl, were all tough girls. Fortunately, one was his sister, and the other was his future wife. If they dared to bare their teeth or something, hmph hmph.
He didn't know if the Wu family's pretty girl had been born yet. When the time came, he would ask her to teach him well. Thinking of this, Li Zhi licked his lips and smiled like a shriveled uncle. However, it was a little strange when paired with that tender face.
Little Guizi was about to cry when she saw this. She sat on the ground and cried,"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. I'll be timid if I'm timid. Sob, sob, sob, Your Highness."
Looking at the wailing Little Guizi below, Li Zhi was both happy and amused. He shouted in a crisp voice,"Little Guizi, why are you crying? Young Master is just thinking. Ah, the difference between humans and animals is thinking, understand?”
"Sob sob sob, Your Highness, are you really alright? Why don't Xiao Guizi go and get a doctor to take a look at you now?”Upon hearing Li Zhi's nonsense, Xiao Guizi cried even harder.
Li Zhi shook his head." No, I'm fine. I'm just trying to raise your awareness. Alright, stop crying."”
"Your Highness, you must not speak to this subject like this. This subject cannot bear the responsibility. If the Eunuch General finds out about this, this subject's days will not be good.”Little Guizi's body trembled as tears streamed down her face. Her eyes were filled with fear.
"A crossdresser?" Li Zhi shivered.
"Alright, get up." Li Zhi repeated helplessly.
"I dare not accept it."
"Dog slave, get up or I'll break your legs right now.”Li Zhi couldn't take it anymore and shouted at Little Guizi in a vicious voice, but his voice was still crisp.
"Yes, I will." Xiao Guizi jumped up with a 'swoosh'. He was so fast that Li Zhi could only see an illusion. Could it be that this guy had practiced the Sunflower Manual?
"Help me down." Li Zhi felt a little cold. After all, it was already the beginning of winter.
"Yes, I will." She waved her hand and let a few palace maids with bigger breasts come forward to carefully carry Li Zhi down.
" Mm." Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Little Guizi knew him quite well. He had the same profound martial arts skills as the " Little Guizi " in the later generation. He had the potential to be a eunuch.
"Your Highness, we are now…" Lil 'Gui Zi, who was bending over and smiling wickedly, came forward.
"Yes, to Xingqing Palace."
"Xingqing Palace is the place where His Majesty deals with government affairs. Your Highness, let's go somewhere else to play.”
He glared at her, his body shaking violently as he revealed his canine teeth." Who told you that I was going to play? Just go if I tell you to. Do you want to be Wei Zhongxian? Quickly lead the way."”Li Zhi said angrily as he kicked Xiao Guizi's calf.
No matter what, I'm still a university student who was painstakingly nurtured by the 21st century party. Do I only know how to play all day? What a joke. At least I'm sleeping at night. I'm not playing.
After being yelled at, Xiaoguizi obediently led the way in front, but she was muttering in her heart,"Wei Zhongxian? What kind of bird was Wei Zhongxian? Was he also a father-in-law? I've never heard of it before. I don't understand."
The lovely dividing line.
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince requests an audience.”
Li Shi Min raised his head and looked at the eunuch with a blank expression. Then, he reacted," It's Zhi Nu. Let him in. What does this little guy want to do?"”
Li Shiming was amused when he recalled the news about Li Gongba from his guards. He loved his son from the bottom of his heart. He had been obedient and smart in front of him since he was young. He was simply a little adult.
However, he could not keep doing this. He had to find a teacher for him another day. He could not waste such a good talent.
"Little Jiu greets Imperial Father. I wish Imperial Father eternal happiness, longevity as long as the heavens, unification of the world, and becoming a Buddha.”
" Puff!" Li Shimin spat out the tea before he could swallow it. The first part of his sentence was normal, but how did he become a Buddha and become an ancestor? I'm not a monk.
Li Shiming shook his head helplessly and said gently,"Zhi Nu, get up. Why don't you go play with Xiao Guizi? Why are you here?"”
Li Zhi got up with his small arms and legs. After listening to Li Shimin's words, he puffed out his chest and said," Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country." Xiao Jiu had heard that his father was preparing to use troops against the Turks. Xiao Jiu had recently learned some words and read some books, so he naturally had to share his father's worries.”
"The rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of every man. Yes, Zhi Nu, tell Imperial Father that the water told you this. Imperial Father doesn't believe that you said it yourself.”Li Shi Min's expression was a little serious.
However, Li Zhi was not afraid. If you had the ability to transmigrate, you would naturally know that this was what Gu Yanwu said. As for now, hehe, it was my famous aphorism.
As if he had suffered a great grievance, Li Zhi's tears fell. His red lips and apple-red face looked at Li Shiming bitterly." Father doesn't believe Little Jiu. This is really what Little Jiu wants. Little Jiu has thought about it for a long time."”
After saying that, he looked like he was about to cry, which made Li Shimin feel a burst of heartache and laughter.
He walked down from the throne and carried Li Zhi up. Compared to Li Shimin, who was 1.8 meters tall, Li Zhi, who was only one meter tall, was a little guy.
"Alright, alright, it's Imperial Father's fault. Then, this servant, tell Imperial Father how many words you've learned recently and what books you've read.”
Putting away his tearful posture, Li Zhi raised his head." Father, you underestimate me. Little Jiu has finished reading all the copybooks and knows all the words. Right now, he is reading Sun Tzu's Art of War, Military Strategy, and the history of the Turks. I've heard that my father is going to use troops against the Turks, so I've come to relieve my worries.”
Li Shimin sat on the throne and placed Li Zhi on his lap. He picked up the brush and wrote a few words on the paper without saying anything. Li Zhi recognized it without a doubt.
After getting off Li Shiming's lap, Li Zhi took up the imperial brush and started writing on the white paper.
Li Shiming opened his eyes wide and looked at his ninth son, who had been extraordinary since birth, in shock. He was able to talk at the age of one, but he was able to walk at less than ten days old. He had never wet his bed and was extremely intelligent. He did not have the ignorance of ordinary children. The little guy who was about his age was probably still playing with urine. And now, he was only three years old, and he could already write such good words. It seemed that he had to call Yuan Tiangang, who was wandering outside, back to show this child.
Li Shimin himself was a calligraphy master and loved calligraphy.
Especially Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. It was said that there was once when he wrote the word " Jian " in the invitation card, but he couldn't write the word " Ge " properly, so he asked Yu Shinan to fill it in for him. Later, Wei Zheng was asked to comment. After Wei Zheng saw it, he said,"Only the word 'Jian' and 'Ge' are realistic." Li Shimin knew that his calligraphy skills were not good, so he worked harder to practice calligraphy and finally became a master.
Li Shimin once ordered the inner government to search for Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in many ways. According to Wei Shu's "Xu Shu Lu," at that time, there were 290 pieces of true and running script and 2,000 pieces of cursive script, all of which were packed into more than 100 volumes, with the seal of "Zhenguan" on each Guizhou. However, his favorite, known as "the best ink in the world","Preface to the Orchid Pavilion", had been searched for many times but could not be found. He had always been brooding over it.
It was not until later that he learned from Wang Xizhi's seventh grandson Zhiyong's disciple that he sent the censor Xiao Yi to disguise himself as a scholar to obtain it. From then on, he loved her all his life. During this period, he ordered Chu Suiliang and other famous calligraphers to copy it many times. He also personally wrote the Biography of Wang Xizhi in the Book of Jin, saying that his calligraphy was "perfect" and "the best in ancient and modern times". It is said that on his deathbed, he ordered Prince Li Zhi to take the authentic "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" as a funerary object.
Among Li Shimin's officials, there were many famous calligraphers, such as Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, Xue Ji, etc.
Li Shimin often did not pay attention to the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects when he compared notes with them. Someone once said that as long as one was proficient in calligraphy, they could become his favorite minister. How could Li Shimin be so ignorant when he was widely acknowledged as the "Eternal Wise Ruler"? He indeed valued calligraphers, but he did not only use books. Take Yu Shinan, who he admired the most, as an example.
According to Wu Jing's Zhenguan Political Leaders, Li Shimin valued Yu Shinan because he had the Five Unique Skills: The first was virtue, the second was loyalty, the third was erudition, the fourth was rhetoric, and the fifth was calligraphy. He once said to his courtiers,"Every time I discuss with Yu Shinan about the past and present, I have a good word, and Shinan is never unhappy; If there is a word wrong, there is no regret. He is so sincere that I commend him. If all the ministers are like Wang Shinan, why should the world worry about him?”In 648, he wrote the book " Emperor's Virtue ", which was originally a posthumous instruction for his son, Li Zhi, to teach him the way to be a ruler. Later generations regarded it as the " study of emperors through the ages." It talked about "reading martial arts" and "worshipping literature", saying that he would immediately obtain the world and that after Dading, he would advocate civil governance."If you don't swim in literature, you don't know the source of wisdom.”
When he saw Li Zhi's words, he was shocked, but it was hard for him to say it.
The style was tight, and the strokes were sharp and sharp. It was as if it was resolute and resolute. It emphasized on bone strength, and the style of writing was vigorous and charming. Although it was limited to his young age and his wrist strength was not enough, it was undeniable that this regular script was unprecedented, never seen, and never heard of.
Looking at the eight characters of 'the rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility', Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi for a long time, until Li Zhi was almost embarrassed. He then said,"Zhi 'er, this is your handwriting."
The reason why he was so sure was that Li Shimin knew all kinds of characters from ancient times to the present, and he also knew the calligraphy of his ministers. However, he had never seen Li Zhi's running-regular script, so he was so sure. However, his tone was slightly trembling.
For a calligraphy enthusiast, the appearance of a new type of font made his mood obvious.
Li Zhi nodded shyly. Yes, Li Zhi was indeed very shy. After all, stealing Liu Gongquan's calligraphy made him a little shy.
Li Shi Min was a little speechless and numb as he looked at his devilish son. After a long time, he said with difficulty,"Hmm, not bad calligraphy. When we have time in the future, we can discuss it together.”Then, she couldn't continue.
Looking at the eight words on the white paper, except for a little immature, the handwriting was mature and neat. After confirming that there was no such word in the past, Li Shiming was happy and ashamed. He collected his complicated thoughts and began to look at his son slightly.
"Tell me what you think of the Turks.”As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch outside the hall came in and reported that Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong had come to pay their respects.
"Let them in." Li Shi Min nodded.
Li Zhi obediently walked down from the imperial table and stood at the side.
Li Shi Min nodded at Li Zhi with satisfaction.
After a while, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others entered Xingqing Palace one after another. After greeting them, they raised their heads and were filled with surprise when they saw Li Zhi's tiny figure standing in front of them.
"Dear ministers, what is the matter?”
Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and said,"Your Majesty Bing, this lowly subject is here to discuss the matter of the Turks. This lowly subject has almost finished discussing it. After several rounds of discussion, this lowly subject has come to report to Your Majesty to see if there are any changes."”
"No rush, no rush. Wuji, your nephew has his own ideas about the Turkic war. Why don't you see what our Great Tang Empire's Ninth Prince has to say?”Li Shiming waved his hand and interrupted Zhangsun Wuji's next report. He pointed at Li Zhi and smiled.
Li Zhi's presence in Xingqing Palace had already surprised everyone. Now, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and the others all turned their gazes to Li Zhi.
Being stared at by these old foxes, Li Zhi twisted his buttocks uneasily. Cheng Yaojin's eyebrows twitched as he watched. He wanted to laugh, but he held it in. His face twitched violently as he cursed in his heart,"This thieving brat."
Yuchi Gong covered his mouth.
Ignoring the two old men, Li Zhi stepped forward and bowed to Li Shiming silently. He then turned to Zhangsun Wuji and said with a smile,""Uncle, and all the uncles, I'm sorry to embarrass myself here.”
His appearance as a little adult was quite comical, but Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and the others still repeatedly said,"I dare not."”
Li Shiming, who was on the steps, twitched his lips.
" Uncle!" Zhangsun Wuji's eyebrows and eyes were almost touching as he smiled. However, there was a flash of light in his eyes.
With his hands behind his back, Li Zhi began his first military theory lesson in the Great Tang.
