Li Shimin was a person who loved calligraphy. He had collected many famous calligraphic works and was good at writing. Yu Shinan, who was known as one of the four great calligraphers of the early Tang Dynasty, worked in the palace. Because he was proficient in ancient and modern times, and his calligraphy was like a god, Li Shimin had always respected him and often copied Yu Shinan's calligraphy.
Li Shi Min was stunned when he opened the paper. The words were like floating clouds, as powerful as a dragon. Iron book silver hook, the crown of ancient and modern.
It seems to be a little horizontal, but in fact it is profound and vast
It contains all things
It contains hundreds of schools
It's like the boundless sea
It's like the boundless universe
..
Li Shiming was shocked by the calligraphy. If Wei Zheng wasn't watching, Li Shiming would have copied it immediately.
Looking closely at the content, it said," To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the teachings of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations.”In order to maintain his imperial image, Li Shimin tried his best not to show it. After all, Li Er, Wei Zheng, and Li Junxian were still standing nearby.
He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil."What kind of great sage could write such words? What kind of person could have such a deep understanding? The ancient sages were probably just like this.”
If all the scholars of the Great Tang had the same thoughts as the heavens and earth, the people, the saints, and the peace of the world, then the Great Tang would be prosperous for tens of thousands of years, Li Shimin thought.
"Now, the Great Tang is plagued with internal and external troubles. The Turks in the northern borders are eyeing us covetously, the Tubo in the western borders are restless, and with Crown Prince Yin's remaining followers supporting the army, the people of the world are suffering.”
"Wei Zheng, although you are not close friends with me, I have heard of your reputation, so I want you to be a remonstrant doctor.”Li Shimin looked straight at Wei Zheng and thought,"You old man, why do I have to persuade you? If it wasn't for your talent, I would have stabbed you to death."”
"Reporting to the emperor, this minister came here today for this reason.”
"This official is willing to be a remonstrant doctor, but I hope that the emperor will agree to one of my requests.”After saying that, Wei Zheng knelt on the ground.
Li Shimin touched his lapel.”
"Announce to the world that Crown Prince Yin and King Qi are to be buried."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Shi Min paced in the royal study, lowered his head and thought, then said,""Pass down the decree to properly bury Hidden Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji.”
"Pass down the decree. Wei Zheng will be appointed as a remonstrant doctor. Wang Gui, Wei Ting, and Feng Li will be…"
" Pass down the decree and announce to the world," establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the ultimate knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations " should be the model for scholars.”
Wei Zheng kowtowed deeply." Thank you, Your Majesty. I will sacrifice my life to assist Your Majesty in bringing peace to the Tang Empire."”At this moment, Wei Zheng was already in tears.
He really didn't expect Li Shi Min to agree to his conditions so easily.
"Minister Wei, please rise. I understand that you want to bury the Hidden Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji so that your old master can leave with dignity and to calm the hearts of the people and appease the remaining followers of the Hidden Crown Prince.”Li Shi Min couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Zheng was slightly stunned. Li Jian's success or failure was not in vain. Li Shimin was broad-minded, courageous, and far-sighted. In time, he would definitely become an emperor.
"Wei Qing, when you entered the royal study, you said that you met a strange person in Jingyang County who guided you and gave you this calligraphy?”Li Shiming waved the paper in his hand.
" That's right. The strange man in Jingyang County is like an immortal. He can grow vegetables in winter and make hot pot that's so spicy that it's painful. Not only that, every family in the strange man's village is very rich. The livestock eat snow-white rice, and the dogs eat meat bones. It's like a paradise.”Wei Zheng said respectfully.
Li Shiming's eyes lit up." He grows vegetables in winter, is a paradise, and has the same noble character as the ancient sages. No, I must let him enter the court and let him choose the positions of the officials."”
"Wei Qing, are you willing to go on behalf of zhen? Forget it, zhen will go personally. Zhen is also very curious about this strange person.”Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said.
Hearing that Li Shimin was leaving the Palace, Li Junxian trembled in fright."Your Majesty, you mustn't. The snow hasn't stopped recently, and the Qin Manor is more than forty li away. I fear that something bad will happen."”
Wei Zheng was also shocked. He had just praised her in his heart for being a hero. Why did she do such a reckless thing now? "Your Majesty, you can't. I think it's better for me to scout the way for Your Majesty. Moreover, when I went to see that young Langjun that day, I was disguised as a grain merchant in Chang 'an and didn't know that I was Wei Zheng.”
"Why can't I? Is it wrong for me to treat the wise and corporal well? The heavier the wind and snow, the more it shows my thirst for talent. Moreover, I am the emperor on horseback. I have fought countless battles. A mere bad weather can stump me, so there is no need to persuade me.”
"Li Junxian, go and inform Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde that they will travel with Us tomorrow in disguise. With you protecting Us, you should be able to relax, right?”Li Shi Min immediately gave the order, not giving him any chance to refute.
The next day, it was snowing heavily.
"Yuchi Old Hei, why do you think His Majesty asked us to accompany him on such a snowy day? He even made us wear disguises.”
"Moreover, I heard from Li Junxian that he brought that old fogey Wei Zheng with him on this trip. I really don't understand. Wei Zheng has always been unwilling to assist His Majesty, so why has he changed his mind today?”At the gate of Chang 'an City, Cheng Yaojin sat on the horse's back and rubbed his hands as he looked at the vast white land and asked Yuchi Jingde.
"I say, Fatty Cheng, can you not call me Old Black Yuchi? If His Majesty is willing to bring you out, just be happy. Why are you asking so much?”Like Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde sat on horseback and waited for Li Shimin's arrival. "If you have the guts, ask His Majesty about Wei Zheng. Don't ask me. I don't know anything.”
"I don't have that ability. You're trying to dig a hole for me again, Old Yuchi.”Cheng Yaojin shook his head.
"If you don't have the ability, then pretend not to know.”Yuchi Jingde laughed evilly.
.......
As the two continued to bicker, Li Shimin, Li Junxian, and Wei Zheng emerged from the palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." As they were traveling in casual clothes, they didn't get off their horses and kowtow to Li Shiming. Instead, they just cupped their hands to Li Shiming.
"Today, I will bring you to Jingyang County to meet a strange person. It was this strange person who made Wei Zheng change his mind and be willing to assist me like the two of you.”
"Wei Zheng and I are grain merchants, the two of you are shop assistants, and Li Junxian is a guard. Let's not reveal our identities for the time being and first meet the extraordinary person Wei Zheng spoke of.”Li Shi Min didn't waste any time and immediately arranged everyone's identity.
The five of them rode their horses towards Jingyang County.
