Set up Zi Xuan and Gongsun Ruji!
Everyone's eyes were on White Feather.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Bai Yu in a daze. He was the most upset at this moment because Li Lizhi seemed to have comforted Zhangsun Wuji before she left.
In fact, it was the second slap in the face!
And it was a painful slap in the face!
What was the highest level of face-slapping?
The highest level of face-slapping was when the other party was clearly saying words to comfort you, but in fact, it was an invisible face-slapping!
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji felt this way!
Zhangsun Wuji was like this, while Li Er deeply understood the old saying,"A grown woman should not be kept!"
He and Empress Zhangsun doted on Li Lizhi all too well. Li Lizhi's stubborn personality didn't listen to him and Empress Zhangsun at all.
Wasn't that the best proof?
As a father and an emperor, did his words work?
Did Li Lizhi listen to him?
No!
Li Lizhi would rather be beaten than lower her head!
Bai Yu only frowned and said one sentence, and his daughter actually retreated obediently.
And what was his daughter's performance just now?
Ecstatic!
Just because Bai Yu said that he didn't dislike her, her daughter was ecstatic!
This... This made Li Er, as a father, feel really bad.
Li Shiming looked at Bai Yu and sighed,"A grown woman can't be kept!"”
Bai Yu naturally understood what Li Shi Min meant by his sigh, and the other ministers also understood.
The reason why Bai Yu refused Li Shiming to betroth Li Lizhi to him was because he really didn't like Li Lizhi much.
Besides, Bai Yu really didn't want to become a relative of the royal family. He really despised this identity!
He was too tired!
Was Li Shi Min ugly?
Not ugly!
Was Empress Zhangsun ugly?
Not ugly!
Then, would their daughter, Li Lizhi, be ugly?
Definitely not ugly!
Otherwise, Zhangsun Wuji wouldn't have been so eager to seek marriage for his eldest son, Zhangsun Chong.
The description of Li Lizhi's appearance in history was as follows: a yellow Bixia Luo embroidered with phoenixes, a pink silk dress that dragged the ground, a soft silk dress held in her hand, and a peony flower inserted into her hair: Her black eyebrows were open and beautiful, and her green hair was dyed with the smell of spring smoke.
This was the description of Li Lizhi's appearance in the Old Book of Tang. The Li Lizhi Bai Yu saw was much more beautiful than what was described in the book!
At this moment, after Li Shiming finished speaking, Bai Yu looked at Zhangsun Wuji and said with a smile,"Lord Zhangsun, do you still want to continue this bet?" You can give up. I'm not a petty person after all!”
" You…" Hearing Bai Yu's words, Zhangsun Wuji could only call him " you ". Then, he swallowed his anger and looked at Bai Yu." Since General Bai is so confident in his tax law, why don't I accompany General Bai to gamble?!"”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and said,"Your Majesty, I'm bold. I'll use the calligraphy of Yu Gong Gong Wen Yanbo that Your Majesty gave me a few years ago as a prize!"”
Swoosh!
As soon as Zhangsun Wuji finished speaking, the entire court fell silent again!
What is the Stele of Yu Gonggong Wen Yanbo?
Why did it shock the entire court?
Fang Xuanling answered immediately.
He looked at Zhangsun Wuji and hurriedly said," You can't. This 'Yu Gong Gong Wen Yanbo Stele' that His Majesty bestowed upon you has always been a treasure to you. It's a calligraphy that you regard as more precious than your life. How can you use it as a prize!?"”
Fang Xuanling was even more anxious than Zhangsun Wuji!
Because he knew very well what this calligraphy meant to Zhangsun Wuji.
Just from the author of this calligraphy, it was difficult to find a calligraphy like the Stele of Yu Gonggong Wen Yanbo.
This was because the 'Yu Gonggong Wen Yanbo Stele' was the calligraphy work of Ouyang Xun, one of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty.
Now, Ouyang Xun had passed away, and his calligraphy was out of print!
And this 'Yu Gong Gong Wen Yanbo Stele' was Ouyang Xun's highest calligraphy work in his later years. It could be said to be the pinnacle work of his life.
Therefore, how could Fang Xuanling not be anxious when he heard that Zhangsun Wuji had taken out such a treasure as a wager?
Seeing Fang Xuanling's anxious expression, Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said," Lord Fang, you've already taken out the Four Treasures of Wenyuan. Eunuch Wei has also taken out the Hongyuan Sword. His Majesty has even used Princess Lizhi as a wager. How can I not take out something decent?" Since it was a big gamble, it should be more like it, right?”
Zhangsun Wuji's words were a little sour, and this sour feeling was naturally directed at Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min naturally understood.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji looked at Bai Yu and asked,"What is General Bai's prize?" Lord Fang took out the Four Treasures of the Wenyuan, and I took out the Stele of Wen Yanbo, Duke of Yu Gong. General Bai wouldn't only have Eunuch Wei's Hongyuan Sword as a prize, right?”
This was the reason why Zhangsun Wuji took out the Stele of Yu Gonggong Wen Yanbo as a wager.
He knew that Bai Yu didn't have the Sunflower Treasure. It wasn't that Li Shi Min didn't want to reward him, but that Bai Yu didn't want it!
This was because Bai Yu had never been interested in the paintings and calligraphy of these so-called literati.
When he heard Zhangsun Wuji deliberately making things difficult for him, Bai Yu smiled and said,"Lord Zhangsun, do I need a wager?" It was clearly a bet that was destined to win, so why did he have to bet on the prize?”
Swoosh!
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, the entire court fell silent!
These words were so domineering!
Only Bai Yu could say this.
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he looked at Zhangsun Wuji again and smiled." Lord Zhangsun, you must make this general a prize. When the time comes, this general will write a couplet on the spot!"”
Silence!
It was quiet again.
Bai Yu wrote a couplet.
Who didn't know Bai Yu's cursive script?
Who didn't know that Bai Yu's cursive script was hard to find?
Therefore, Zhangsun Wuji did not say anything.
The bet was made, and all that was left was for Zhangsun Wuji to implement his own land tax law, and Bai Yu to implement his own. In half a year, the Great Tang's grain production would triple.
The morning court session ended just like that.
When Bai Yu returned to the Heavenly Policy Office, Purple Girl greeted him immediately and bowed. Then she looked at Bai Yu and said," Your Excellency, Purple Girl has chosen a mansion on Chang 'an Street. At the same time, I heard that Gongsun Ruji from Chongren Square will be performing a sword dance in Chongren Square today. Would you like to go and take a look?"”
