Chapter 36
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if I have to search the entire Chang 'an, I, Old Cheng, will definitely find him for you!”Cheng Yaojin said arrogantly.
"You fool! When the time came, he mustn't do anything overboard. It wouldn't be good if he developed a dislike for the Imperial Court.”Li Shi Min warned.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although I, Old Cheng, am not very cultured, I still know the severity.”Cheng Yaojin patted Xiong Fu and promised.
Li Shi Min didn't say anything else. He knew his old subject well.
Although he looked careless and vulgar, he was careful and cunning.
Otherwise, Li Shi Min wouldn't have entrusted this matter to him.
"Oh right, I still have something to announce.”
"That day, when I went out to play, Changle fell off a cliff and was saved by this person. That's why I was able to meet such a genius.”
"Princess Changle secretly approved of his love, and I can't bear to separate a pair of lovers, so I will betroth him to marry him until Changle reaches adulthood!”
Li Shi Min's words caused an uproar among the ministers!
Originally, they thought that mobilizing the Prime Minister and General Zuo Xiaowei to look for this person was already enough of a priority.
They had never expected that they had underestimated Li Xiu's importance in Li Shiming's heart.
Or rather, Li Shi Min's ambition!
Princess Changle!
She was the eldest princess born to the empress on the spot. The meaning she represented was definitely extraordinary.
In their eyes, Li Shiming's words about having a lover and having someone in his heart were just an excuse.
The real reason was to tie this person firmly to the royal chariot.
Of course, these ministers had guessed correctly.
However, they didn't know that Li Shiming's idea was based on the fact that Changle had fallen in love with Li Xiu.
Part of the reason was for his daughter's lifelong happiness.
Otherwise, how could he marry his most beloved princess to a stranger he had never met?!
All of a sudden, all the ministers were shocked and had different thoughts.
He was thinking about how to rope this person in.
According to Li Shi Min's current attitude, as long as this person entered the court, he would definitely rise up the ranks.
In the future, he would definitely have a pivotal position in the imperial court.
Such power was immeasurable to any family.
While countless officials were thinking of ways to rope Li Xiu in, only one official had an ugly expression on his face.
This person was Zhangsun Wuji, one of Li Shiming's most capable assistants.
Princess Chang Le was his niece and the princess he valued the most.
Originally, he wanted to wait until the time was ripe to ask Li Shiming to marry Princess Changle to his son Zhangsun Chong, so as to strengthen his connection with the royal family and ensure that his family would not fall.
but...
Before this idea could be raised, it was intercepted by someone who came out of nowhere!
Of course, he was unwilling.
Thus, he stepped forward and said to Li Shimin,""Your Majesty, don't you think this matter is too hasty?“
"Princess Changle is the eldest princess of the dynasty. Be it in terms of appearance, temperament, or talent, she is the best. Her husband must be a dragon among men.”
"Indeed, Your Majesty said that this person's martial arts are extraordinary, and he has mastered the legendary magical mechanism technique. He is a hero of his generation.”
"However, with his talent, appearance, and temperament, can he match up to Princess Chang Le?”
As an old fox, he was not stupid enough to directly refute Li Shiming's decision. Instead, he made an issue from the perspective of Princess Chang Le's happiness to attract Li Shiming's attention.
Li Shi Min didn't doubt it and just laughed.
"Hahaha, Fuji is indeed worthy of being Changle's uncle. He's so thoughtful for her.”
"Don't worry about this. He is ten times more talented than Chang Le. Otherwise, with Chang Le's pride, how could he fall in love with an unknown man?”
"Men, hand over that calligraphy piece!”
Li Shi Min ordered the chief eunuch beside him.
Following Li Shiming's order, the painting that Li Xiu and Chang Le had made in the mountains was carefully presented by several palace maids.
"Everyone, please take a look. This is Li Xiu's painting, poem, and inscription!”
All the ministers 'gazes were attracted by the painting in the palace maid's hands, and they all stretched their necks out.
Especially the civil officials, they wished they could put their glasses on the painting.
Exclaimed!
Shocking!
Praise!
There were all kinds of expressions!
"This painting is really a divine work! This lowly official could actually feel a faint spring breeze blowing towards his face. This mountain, this water, this grass and every tree seemed to have come alive!”
"This poem…Looking at it horizontally, there are peaks on the side of the ridge, far and near, high and low, but I don't know the true face of Yunshan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain! Not only did he describe Yun Shan vividly, but he also contained a rich philosophy of life."
"Good poem! Good poem! This poem was enough to become a masterpiece!”
"And this word, it's thin, straight, and refreshing. The strokes are strong, soft, and hard at the same time. It's graceful and restrained without losing its sharpness! It was an unprecedented font!”
Which of the civil officials who could ascend Taiji Palace were not well-read?!
Naturally, he could see that it was extraordinary.
It was because they could see that it was extraordinary that they were so amazed! It was so shocking!
"What do you think, dear ministers?”
Li Shi Min was very proud of himself. He had already treated Li Xiu as his son-in-law. In his eyes, Li Xiu was one of his own.
His own family was so awesome! How could he not be proud?
"Good painting!"
"Good poem!"
"Good handwriting!"
Everyone exclaimed in admiration. Even Zhangsun Wuji was no exception.
Although he felt terrible, he couldn't help but praise.
Looking at Li Shiming's smug expression, if he were to go against him now, wouldn't he be looking for trouble?
"Hehe, dear ministers, what if I say that this painting was casually created by him and this poem was written by him in two steps?!”
Li Shi Min revealed a wicked smile and dropped another bomb!
As expected!
The moment these words were said, everyone was instantly thunderstruck!
" What?!"
" Impossible?!"
"Are you lying?"
They were stunned and dumbfounded. This was no longer shock!
Instead, he was shocked!
His eyeballs almost popped out!
(；OдO)！！！
Human!
How could he be so awesome?!
Painting, reaching the peak of perfection.
The poem will be remembered for a hundred generations.
Words, unprecedented.
Such a masterpiece was actually just casually made?!
If he were to get serious, wouldn't he have to go up to the sky and stand side by side with the sun?!
