Xiao Rui wrote the name of the poem, although it was only three words.
However, the moment his calligraphy appeared, everyone looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.
Xiao Yu stood there in a daze, because he didn't know how Xiao Rui could write such good calligraphy, or if he had learned Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. It was really elegant.
Li Shi Min looked at Xiao Rui and couldn't help but sigh: "The style is peaceful and natural, the strokes are tactful and subtle, beautiful and vigorous. It really has the essence of the Right Army.”
"Zhen has collected a copy of the Sage of Calligraphy's calligraphy and will give it to you. It's dusty in the palace.”
Li Shimin was also very fond of calligraphy. Naturally, he recognized that Xiao Rui's calligraphy came from the calligraphy master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi, who was known as the calligraphy saint. Therefore, he was naturally generous with his reward.
Xiao Rui didn't speak.
Xiao Yu smiled and said," I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my son. If I can get the calligraphy of the Sage of Calligraphy, Wang Xizhi, Xiao Rui's calligraphy might be able to take a step forward."”
Li Shimin could call Wang Xizhi the Right Army, but Xiao Yu dared not.
As the two of them conversed, Zhangsun Wuji's eyes revealed a rich envy. To people of their status, gold and silver rewards were just a number.
However, the calligraphy of the Sage of Calligraphy was hard to come by, let alone Li Shimin's collection.
He had begged several times, but to no avail. He had even asked his sister, Empress Zhangsun, to plead for mercy, but Li Shimin was reluctant to let him take it away. He had only copied it in the royal study, but now he had given it to Xiao Rui without blinking.
Zhangsun Wuji's heart felt a little sour. However, when he saw Xiao Rui's words, his eyes revealed a trace of craftiness. He did not speak, but moved closer to Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui did not delay writing.
A poem with four lines.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared before everyone's eyes!
Xiao Rui finished writing and took two steps back.
Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but look at the paper and read out,""Thousands of hammers chiseled out of the mountains, and the fire burned as if it were nothing. I'm not afraid of you, but I want to leave my innocence in the world.”
"Good poem, good poem.”
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Rui with a smile in his eyes. The last time he took Xiao Rui to the mountain forest to relax, he happened to see the person who was collecting limestone. At that time, he hoped that Xiao Rui would have an aggressive heart.
Xiao Rui didn't let him down.
Du Ruhui stood up straight, his eyes deep. He let out a long breath. This poem was his life's conviction. When the Great Tang was established, he was not afraid of being crushed into pieces. He wanted to leave his innocence in the world.
He said directly," The strokes are concise and smooth. They are simple and natural. They are not polished. You really have the heart of a child. You have such poetic feelings and ideals at such a young age."”
"You deserve to be called a genius!"
Du Ruhui's words were a generous compliment.
Xiao Rui looked at him with some complacency. This was Du Ruhui, a meritorious official of the Lingyan Pavilion, and the one who planned the Black Tortoise Sect's coup, yet he was now so optimistic about him.
Fang Xuanling smiled kindly at him.
Li Shiming took the paper from Zhangsun Wuji and said,""What a good way to leave your innocence in the world. Keming said that you are a genius, and I am happy to see you. How about giving this poem to me?”
As Li Shiming spoke, Zhangsun Wuji's face immediately fell.
Wasn't he reading the poem so attentively just to get Xiao Rui's poem into his hands? But now, Li Shi Min had intervened halfway, which obviously had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Rui naturally wouldn't refuse and said,"It's Xiao Rui's fortune that His Majesty likes it."
Li Shimin handed the paper to Eunuch Liu and sized up Xiao Rui."This invitation has 70% of the Sage of Calligraphy's true intent. If it was placed outside, I'm afraid it would be coveted by others.”
"I can't take advantage of you, so I'll give this dragon pendant to you.”
Li Shiming pulled the jade pendant from his waist. Eunuch Liu immediately held it with both hands and gave it to Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui looked at the dragon pendant and hurriedly bowed."I wouldn't dare."
Li Shi Min didn't care.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others looked at each other. Xiao Rui had caught Li Shimin's eye. Who else in the world would dare to use a dragon as a jade pendant?
Even some princes didn't have it. It could be said that this jade pendant alone could do anything in Chang 'an.
Li Shi Min said and prepared to leave.
Xiao Yu, Cheng Yaojin, and the others quickly followed. Zhangsun Wuji blinked and said to Xiao Rui,"Brat, I'll send someone to pick you up later. There are many good things in my residence.”
"I haven't forgotten about the surprise I promised you.”
Li Shi Min was about to leave the room.
At this moment, Xiao Rui pretended not to understand and ran over with small steps, saying,"Didn't Your Majesty say that he would agree to one of my requests?”
Xiao Rui's voice sounded very tender, but this was indeed his scheme. Being young was an advantage.
If it was anyone else, Li Shiming would have been grateful for the jade pendant and would not have dared to ask for anything.
However, when Xiao Rui said this, everyone smiled. Clearly, they did not expect Xiao Rui to have such guts to actually dare to stop the Saint.
Li Shi Min stopped and looked at Xiao Rui: "You brat, you're a person who doesn't suffer losses. However, since Zhen has agreed, you can just say it.”
Li Shi Min's words were like gold and jade, but the Dukes didn't pay much attention to it. It was obvious that Xiao Rui was just a child in their eyes, so it wasn't difficult for Li Shi Min to make a request.
Xiao Rui raised his head and said,"Since Your Majesty has promised, then I will say it."”
Li Shi Min looked at Xiao Rui's solemn expression and nodded,"You are not joking."
Xiao Rui saluted Li Shiming respectfully and said bluntly,"Your Majesty, I want to be a historian!"
