Imperial Palace, Xiande Hall
Li Shimin wore a golden dragon robe and a crown on his head as he sat on his throne. Below him were Zhangsun Wuji, Feng Deyi, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuwen Shiji, Hou Junji, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Xu Maogong, and the other civil and military officials.
On the surface, Li Shi Min had a smile on his face, but his heart was very restless.
Yesterday, he was assassinated and was shot by an arrow. The arrow was poisoned, and Li Shimin had the imperial physician treat it in time.
But at night, Li Shiming was shocked to find that he was like a holy living Buddha, unwilling to even think about women.
Even if he forced himself to think about it, it was useless.
He had become…a living eunuch?
The remnants of the former Eastern Palace and King Qi's Mansion were truly despicable!
He actually used the legendary poison that could exterminate humanity and end one's descendants?
Forget it, let's not think about this problem for the time being!
In the future, he would seriously recuperate and hope that he could slowly get better!
Li Shiming calmed himself down and collected his thoughts.
Thinking of Li Xiu-er, the eldest son of the royal family, who had returned home, he narrowed his eyes."Xiu-Er, giving you the women of the former Eastern Palace and King Qi's Mansion is a test for you! If you are bewitched by a woman and lose your life, then I will not acknowledge you! Men lived between heaven and earth, and women were beautiful and charming, but they were only embellishments. A true lord loved women, but he would not be bewitched by them! It was just like how a divine ruler wielded supreme power and could decide life and death, ruling the world, but could not be enslaved by the supreme power to become a fatuous ruler or tyrant!”
Li Xiu 'er was already thirteen years old when he had just met her. Unlike the philosophers Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai, who had always been by his side, he lacked discipline and guidance for Li Xiu' er.
At this age, it was basically useless to teach Li Xiu 'er the way he taught a child.
He could only use a strong medicine!
Li Shimin firmly believed that a tiger father would not have a dog son. He was very confident that Li Xiuer would not be poisoned by women and go to hell early.
For this reason, he accepted Zhangsun Wuji's proposal and gave all the women in the former Eastern Palace and King Qi's Mansion to Li Xiu 'er.
How could Li Shiming not see Zhangsun Wuji's intentions?
Firstly, Zhangsun Wuji had made a great contribution and was his most important contributor and adviser. He would not be too calculative with him. Secondly, he believed that Li Xiu 'er could pass this test. A hundred beauties could not harm him at all.
If he couldn't pass, Li Shi Min would accept it.
Dying in the hands of a woman was much better than being pierced by thousands of arrows in the future.
Zhangsun Wuji stood in his seat and looked around many times. He couldn't help but feel happy when he didn't see Li Xiu 'er.
To Zhangsun Wuji, the position of Crown Prince of the Great Tang Empire could only belong to Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
Their mothers were both Empress Zhangsun, and Empress Zhangsun was his sister. Zhangsun Wuji would rise to a higher level because of this. His position would be higher, and his power would be greater, until he was comparable to Wang Mang, Sima Yi, and other ambitious heroes…
For this reason, Zhangsun Wuji did not hesitate to use any means to achieve his goal.
Li Kuan, Li Ke, and Li Shimin's concubines, as well as the current eldest son of the Emperor, Li Xiu 'er, were all targets that Zhangsun Wuji wanted to deal with.
At this time, Li Shimin had just become emperor not long ago, and he still used the year title of Li Yuan. He would only change the year title to Zhenguan in the following year. He only granted Zhangsun Wugou as the queen, and the wives as the imperial concubine, virtuous concubine, virtuous concubine, Shu concubine, and so on.
The Crown Prince seat was still empty!
After tidying up his clothes, Zhangsun Wuji was prepared to persuade Li Shiming to kill all the women in the former Eastern Palace and the Qi King's Mansion when the news of the death of the Heluo King came.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard. Li Xiu 'er, who had changed into a new set of gorgeous clothes, ran in quickly.
"Greetings, Imperial Father! Long live Imperial Father!" Li Xiu 'er shouted with all her might.
The voice was loud and clear, and the sound was so loud that it could block the clouds.
Seeing that Li Xiu Er was safe and sound, Li Shi Min was overjoyed and smiled happily.
Zhangsun Wuji was very embarrassed and confused.
Li Xiu 'er was now a young man in fresh clothes and full of vigor. How could she not fall into the trap of the former Crown Princess Consort and other women?
This didn't make sense!
Could it be that he was still a child and didn't know about the matters between men and women?
This, this…
It had to be said that Zhangsun Wuji was thinking too much!
Top strategists who played mind games had complicated thoughts and were very clever. They could make many connections through a small matter.
"Xiu-Er, get up!" Li Shi Min laughed and waved his hand,"Come, stand beside me!"
"Here!" Li Xiu 'er replied and quickly walked up.
On Li Shimin's dragon table, there was not only the Imperial Seal and the special military talismans of the Tang Empire, but also a Preface to the Orchid Pavilion.
Li Xiu 'er's eyes lit up." Father," she said," is your Preface to the Orchid Pavilion an authentic work of Wang Xizhi or a copy of another calligraphy master?"”
"It's authentic!" Li Shimin picked up the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion and fondled it a few times. He said proudly,"In the whole world, I am the only authentic copy of the Sage of Calligraphy's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion! I've already decided to bring it with me after a hundred years!”
Li Shimin had already made Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" one of the funerary objects.
Yesterday, Li Shi Min had ordered the construction of his emperor tomb, Zhao Mausoleum.
In ancient times, emperors often started to build their own mausoleums as soon as they succeeded to the throne.
The ancients valued the afterlife!
This was especially true for the great emperors like Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi.
"Since I was young, I have been supervised by Imperial Mother to practice calligraphy. If I have some success, I can copy the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion!”" Well," Li Xiu 'er said," Father, can you let me copy a copy on the spot? You and the officials can carefully identify which is my copy and which is the real work of the Sage of Calligraphy."”
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up and he said doubtfully,"Xiu-Er, I and all the officials have sharp eyes. You can't fool us with a low-quality copy! If your calligraphy is very bad and makes you a laughing stock, I will lose face and teach you a lesson! Of course, if you can really pass off the fake as the real, I will reward you with a small dragon robe and a ferghana horse!”
"This child thanks Imperial Father in advance for the reward! Imperial Father, you and the civil and military officials should calm down and quietly watch my performance!”Li Xiu 'er laughed.
Gagaga!
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy given by the system could be put to use now!
Under the watchful eyes of Li Shimin and the other officials, Li Xiu-er used two eunuchs to get a pen and paper and began to copy Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion.
Yonghe nine years, the year is Kuichou, in the early spring, in Kuaiji Shanyin Lanting meeting…
Li Xiu 'er held the brush in her hand and quickly wrote it down.
It was as smooth as flowing water.
The strokes were euphemistic and subtle, beautiful and vigorous, penetrating the back of the paper and penetrating the wood. It was exactly the same as Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion.
As Li Xiu Er wrote, Li Shi Min and all the other officials were shocked.
It was actually exactly the same. It was difficult to distinguish between a copy and an authentic one!
Was Li Xiu 'er the living Calligraphy Saint, Wang Xizhi?
How, how was this possible?
