Li Shimin's Depressed
He paused for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something. He then said," Furthermore, I only asked Chu Yi to write it down after hearing his thoughts. Your Majesty, look. The handwriting on the paper is definitely different from mine."”
Li Shi Min looked down.
It was indeed different from Li Daozong's handwriting.
This was because he knew what Li Daozhong had written, and the words on the paper were neat and neat. It could even be said that they were at the level of a master.
He could not help but be stunned again." I didn't realize it when you said that. The calligraphy on this paper is as exquisite as that beautiful painting. Chu Yi, a country bumpkin, can write such words?”
Li Daozong was stunned when he heard this.
When Chu Yi handed the manuscript to him, he didn't even have the time to look at it carefully, nor did he notice how Chu Yi's calligraphy was.
Now that Li Shi Min had mentioned it, he was curious.
Li Shi Min also saw through Li Daozong's thoughts and asked Wang De to take one.
Li Daozong took it and looked at it. The handwriting on the paper looked like it was carved. Not only was it beautiful, but the strokes were also smooth and unrestrained.
Hiss!
He couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air and looked at Li Shi Min again.
"This…I didn't know that Chu Yi had such calligraphy. However, as the current emperor, I don't have the guts to lie to Your Majesty!
Therefore, this set of manuscripts for the imperial examination system was indeed formulated by Chu Yi. If the Emperor still did not believe it, he could summon Chu Yi to the palace and let him write two words to compare.”
Li Shi Min didn't say anything.
He didn't have to find out if Chu Yi was the one who set up the imperial examination plan.
It was just that he did not believe that he would let such an outstanding son-in-law go.
He couldn't accept it and felt depressed.
However, things had already come to this. If he continued to ask, it would hurt their faces in the end.
Therefore, he only took a deep breath and let Li Daozong go back.
Not long after Li Daozong left, he was not in the mood to read the memorials. He went straight to Empress Zhangsun with the manuscripts that Li Daozong had submitted.
As soon as he entered the door, he called Empress Zhangsun over to sit down in an extremely depressed manner. He placed the manuscript on the table and gestured for her to take a look.
"Guanyin maid, come, zhen will show you something.”
When Empress Zhangsun sat down beside him with a blank expression, he continued," I plan to reopen the imperial examination system. Yesterday, I ordered Li Daozong to list out a set of imperial examination systems for me within the stipulated time. In the end, he handed me these manuscripts today. Take a look. What do you think?"
Empress Zhangsun casually flipped through it a few times. Hearing Li Shimin's words, she blinked and was stunned.
She knew that the harem could not interfere with politics.
So she didn't know why Li Shiming would show her this kind of thing, and Li Shiming's expression wasn't very good.
However, she still picked it up and flipped through it seriously. The more she looked, the more surprised she was.
He couldn't help but praise,"If Your Majesty wants to reopen the imperial examination system, the system presented by Lord Li Daozong is perfect. Your Majesty can adopt it."
In fact, this might even be the national policy of the Great Tang for the next hundred years.”
Li Shi Min took a deep breath." Of course I know. But Guanyin Maid, do you know who wrote this?"”
Empress Zhangsun could not help but be stunned. Didn't you just say that this was presented by Lord Li Daozong? Could it be that it wasn't his doing?"
Li Shi Min shook his head gloomily,"Li Daozong led his troops to war. How could a general have such knowledge?"”
Empress Zhangsun was confused.”
Li Shi Min immediately replied with two words,"Chu Yi."”
Empress Zhangsun's eyes widened. She obviously didn't believe that the words in her hands were written by Chu Yi.
Moreover, she also learned from Li Shiming that Chu Yi was just a country boy. How could he have such knowledge to write such a literary article?
She couldn't help but frown slightly. She had the same reaction as Li Shiming. She asked Li Shiming," Is he the Chu Yi that His Majesty broke off the engagement with?" Impossible, Chu Yi actually had such talent?”
Li Shimin also agreed gloomily," I am equally puzzled. However, I asked Li Daozong three or four times. Li Daozong insisted that it was written by Chu Yi. He even asked me to confront Chu Yi if I didn't believe him. He asked Chu Yi to write a few more words and we would know.”
Empress Zhangsun's brows furrowed even deeper." So, this imperial examination system really came from Chu Yi." His Majesty had said that he was just a commoner. If he had known that he had such talent, it would not have been impossible for Li Zhi to marry him.”
This was what made Li Shi Min depressed.
When Chu Yi came to the palace to find him to marry, he looked down on him and let a good son-in-law escape.
Li Shi Min was very depressed and didn't want to accept it.
However, no one would have thought that a commoner like Chu Yi, who grew up in the countryside, would have such a literary and martial strategy.
Li Shiming felt a little regretful.
At that time, she shouldn't have directly thought of making him retreat. She should have tested him properly before making a decision.
Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shiming's depressed expression and felt sorry for him.
He personally poured a cup of tea for her and handed it to her. However, there is no need for Your Majesty to feel too regretful. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. As long as you say the word, Chu Yi will naturally work for you. Don't you think so?"
Li Shi Min naturally knew this, but there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he couldn't get over.
Empress Zhangsun did not know how to comfort him. She took out an orange from the fruit plate and peeled it.
"Your Majesty, don't be so stubborn. Which inch of land in the Great Tang isn't yours? No matter how talented he is, a single imperial edict from you can make him work for you.
ChenQie knows that Your Majesty is eager to love talents and feels that what you have done is a pity, but Your Majesty, think about it. Sometimes, good things don't have to be held in your own hands. It might be better to give them to others.”
Li Shimin understood these principles, but he couldn't cross the hurdle in his heart. He felt that he was too impulsive that day.
However, things had already come to this. He was not the kind of person who would take things too hard.
Finally, he picked up his teacup and drank the tea to make himself feel more comfortable.
Empress Zhangsun didn't say anything more. She handed the peeled orange to Li Shimin and began to ponder.
Although she said that, she didn't know if Li Shiming's decision to break off the engagement was right or wrong.
