It was dark at night, but Li Shimin was still staying in the study, writing and writing non-stop. Those who didn't know would think how busy he was with government affairs, but if you walked in and took a look, you would find out, what kind of government affairs? It's about calligraphy.As for the object of copying?Well, isn't that on the sidelines? The Book of Filial Piety was freshly baked this afternoon.

This book of filial piety has a total of 1903 characters. Li Shimin carefully pondered every word, read and read again and again. Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Shimin who was so obsessed with her. The last time she saw her husband When did you become obsessed with calligraphy and painting?It seems like a long time.Is that child's handwriting really that good?

Empress Changsun, who couldn't help being curious in her heart, went up to Li Shimin without calling anyone, and looked at the piece of paper that Li Shimin had just put down on the table. He took a deep breath, hey, hey, the emperor doesn't want his wrist, does he? Look at the scrap paper, it's a foot thick.

"Why don't you know how to persuade?"

Empress Changsun couldn't help but glared fiercely at the servant beside her, and lowered her voice to blame.But even though the voice has been lowered, it is still very obvious in this quiet room where you can hear the drop of a needle. This is not the case, the pen in Li Shimin's hand slipped in such a shock, and it was directly scrapped.Well, this can be regarded as awakening Li Shimin.It finally brought him back to his senses from that obsessed obsession.

"Guanyin maidservant, you are here."

"Your Majesty even forgot to eat. How could the concubines not come? Fortunately, they did come. Otherwise, how could you see His Majesty working so hard? Your Majesty, what kind of extraordinary font is it that makes you not eat or drink like this?" copying? Let the courtiers and concubines see and see."

While speaking, Empress Changsun finally noticed the book of filial piety. When she saw the contents above, the empress couldn't help but want to laugh. The emperor obviously wanted to punish others. Yes, I don't want to see this word, but it seems to punish him in turn. Look at the dozens of papers, how many filial piety scriptures he has written, if they are piled up with the Supreme Emperor, it is probably enough to exchange for ten. It's been a good day for half a month.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't see such a villain, and he might not have thought of it if he saw it, because even though he had recovered from the dazed situation at this moment, his eyes were still looking at the word, The energy is also concentrated on the font, and it is hard to say whether [-]% of the attention is allocated to the idea of ​​talking to the queen.

"It's really extraordinary. It's sparse and majestic but also delicate and charming; it's gentle and elegant but has its own sword edge; this regular script combines so many styles. I'm afraid this child has copied how many calligraphy masters, so that it can be integrated into one." It's not easy, it's not simple, such skill, even the old Confucian who has studied calligraphy for decades may not be able to do it."

Hearing Li Shimin's praise, Empress Changsun couldn't help but savor the filial piety. Naturally, she was full of admiration after seeing it. Anyway, this unique font is already amazing. , Waiting for the details, it will make people look more and more beautiful. As for the other... well, there are some clues, isn't it, the queen can't help but turn her head to Li Shimin and say:

"Second brother didn't tell me that I didn't feel bad. How old is this kid? How come this handwriting... looks like a man in his 60s or [-]s? If it weren't for the sharpness of the pen, I wouldn't believe it. That kid wrote it."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. It is very difficult to clearly inherit the two kings, but not to be a cardinal. The opening and closing structure still has the weight of years of precipitation. This kid is a talent Ah. By the way, Avalokitesvara, look again, look here, here, do you see anything?"

On each piece of paper, the places Li Shimin pointed to were actually different, but after just a few clicks, Empress Changsun frowned, her eyes lit up, and she asked in a voice:

"This is, this seems to be a bit... similar to the distribution of words in official documents of the imperial court?"

"It's exactly this, and this image is so invisible, it's obviously not a deliberate imitation, but it seems to be a habit. I thought, this child is probably copying his father's official documents while observing his filial piety. Otherwise, it would be impossible to write so seamlessly."

(This... seems to think that Ayu is a little too good. In fact, this is a habit he developed in Kaifeng Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has nothing to do with these years. But then again, the official documents of the Tang Dynasty and the official documents of the Song Dynasty, How did they connect? There are still similar ones? Could it be that we have inherited this thing for thousands of years?)

"Take father's official documents and copy..."

If it is said that they were a little bit alert and suspicious of the child's amazing talent and beauty at the beginning, then after hearing this sentence and coming to such a conclusion, it is rare for the emperor and his wife to show a little more pity and warmth towards A Yu.

"This child is smiling day by day, looking at people like a heartless fool. I don't want to be so miserable in my heart. This word... I'm afraid I take this copying of my father's daily official documents as a sustenance." It’s a way of mourning. By the way, if it’s like this, second brother, then it’s not difficult to understand why this child’s font can form such a style.”

Empress Changsun here pitied her nephew who could only hit with eight poles, but Li Shimin over there put down the pen in his hand, slumped on the big grand master's chair, pressed his forehead, and looked helpless.

"This is also the point that I am most helpless. The court is full of aristocratic families. If it weren't for the generals and upstarts who were born in poor families, this world may really become a toy for these thousand-year-old aristocratic families."

"No, Your Majesty has spared no effort in promoting the poor families these years. Even the imperial examinations are held frequently. As long as we are patient and wait for these poor families to climb up a little bit after a few years, there will definitely be more new people in the court. Blood, go a little stale."

"Yeah, I really think so, and I think it's very feasible, but after reading this kid's filial piety today, I realized that this kind of thinking is really too optimistic. I want the poor family to develop a certain strength. It will take longer to restrain the family, I am afraid it will be longer than expected."

"Oh? From the Book of Filial Piety?"

"That's right, just like what you said just now, the child kept his filial piety and practiced calligraphy, and he probably used his father's official documents or something. This reminds me, children from aristocratic families, no, not only children from aristocratic families, as long as they are from official families Children, they have been in touch with things related to the court since they were young. No matter how lazy and careless they are, they understand the context of this better than those who come from poor families. With the support of certain contacts, relatives and friends. Even With less talent, relying on these resources, the road to promotion will be faster and better than that of the humble family. In this way, it will be difficult for the humble family to come out at the top... "

"Your Majesty, this may sound difficult, but have you forgotten that in this world full of chaos, how much do noble families take up? Ordinary people, how much do they take up? As long as the world is peaceful, the people are rich, and there are more people who study, What are you worried about? Big deal, let's use people to pile up, ten or hundreds of people to fight for one, can't we win?"

Empress Changsun always makes people understand the importance of marrying a good wife at critical moments.Look, in just a few words, Li Shimin's energy is back. Tell me how efficient it is.There is nothing to be said for being a queen. Ruyi and Fucha are not worthy of carrying shoes. The gap is really too big.

Li Shimin, whose confidence was rekindled by his daughter-in-law, finally let go of the desire to imitate, waved his hand, and asked the servant to clean up the house quickly, while he himself took his wife's little hand and began to gossip.It's just... Maybe it's a matter of time and place, the content of this gossip somehow turned to Ayu.

"Phoenix? Peony? This child is so flattering and flattering, why didn't His Majesty beat him up?"

As a couple who grew up together as childhood sweethearts, this conversation was really casual to a certain level, and the second brother was shouting at the front, and a flying vinegar came over, raised his eyebrows, and squinted his eyes, and this majesty came out again, Li Shimin was amused for a while... Cough, cough, seeing a group of women fighting for their own sake, it is easy for a man to get jealous, let alone the emperor, the best spokesperson for a scumbag, can you not be happy?

"I'd like to think about it, but what else can I do with him being an uncle? On a closer look, he's just flattering his aunt and aunt. On the other hand, he can be filial, so what can I do? "

This pot was thrown so sharply that even Empress Changsun was a little speechless, and laughed out loud.But if you think things are over like this, then you are really too naive.They just waited for a cup of tea, and they have already thought of countermeasures.

"Since they are all aunts and aunts, how can one favor one over the other? I gave Concubine Yang a poem, and the concubine here is naturally indispensable. Well, I couldn't write it in the first time. I am already disrespectful and filial. In this way, Let the prince say that he must write two poems before closing the palace gate tomorrow, otherwise... just wait for the board. The queen is not good at beating him, so as an aunt, I can always beat my nephew, Your Majesty What do you say?"

Hehe, what else could he say?Except for a second of distant sympathy for Ayu, the rest of the time...with this time, it would be better to spend time with his wife, and why would Ayu be so unlucky?Oh, by the way, this one is jealous, and the one that is too big, you have to be careful.

Li Shimin took his daughter-in-law's hand and headed for the back palace, and at the same time gave a wink to the servant next to him, and after a short time, Ayu's poem for Concubine Yang was spread to Concubine Yang's palace, but This is grateful...

"His Majesty……"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty really loves you the most..."

"Your Majesty, since His Majesty said that you are Peony... how about we wear that peony dress tomorrow? Your Majesty must be happy."

Ayu was already crying in the toilet, obviously he was the one who wrote the poem, why is it His Majesty who thanked him?This treatment is too bullying.Even more bullying things are yet to come. Early in the morning, the crown prince who brought news of the queen's anger like a plague god dealt him a heavy blow.

"What? In front of closing the palace gate? Two poems? Prince, this...this poem is not for eating? How can there be such a thing? Can't make it out and make a board? This is too bullying, this request, let those old men have nothing to do with it." It may not be possible to pass all of them."

"Who told you to show off yesterday and make a peony song? This is great. The third child is happy, and Yang Niangniang is also happy, but my mother is not happy. What else can you do? I said, you are really happy." Yes, anyway, my aunt is the queen and the master of the harem, so you have to be more scruples about being decent, even if you are rushing to talk, at least give her a few words first, otherwise how can my aunt rule the six palaces ? How do you coerce those servants in the palace? You, you are too disrespectful, and I am so close to you."

What, what's so good, this statement is ambiguous, okay, let's not make an appointment, Prince.However, that poem... co-authored such a song, why did it offend others instead of any benefit?Gongli... Well, it seems that he really thinks less. According to the way of those palace fighting dramas in later generations, this little thing seems to easily cause trouble.

Ouch, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't show it off, but now it's great, no one is looking for trouble.Hey, who should I copy again?Although I read a lot in the past, most of them were either medical books or the Four Books and Five Classics of the imperial examination. I really didn't spend much effort on this poetry, and I don't know if I can get past it.

Empress, empress, some good poems written by empresses in history seem to be about remembrance or something. The eldest grandson empress is alive and well, so it must not be used!Fenghuang, Fenghuang... This one is not... Wait, why did he have to find the queen and Fenghuang?Isn't he stupid, only write to Empress Changsun, get rid of identity, use emotion more, well, it's better to describe the deep friendship between her and His Majesty the Emperor, this is the strategy to correctly open the mode of exoneration, right?Wait, it's still not right, the friendship between the emperor and the empress...is this something he can write?Well, let's find the phoenix, this may be easier, and it is not easy to make mistakes.

"Seeing Yuyi by the Jinjing fence, sleeping on a sycamore branch in Hanzhi... Well, Ayu, I really didn't expect that you still have such abilities. As Yeye said, you can write good poems... Remember, Two, must be two, um, by the way, the next one is about my mother..."

"Hey, here you go, come by yourself..."

"Don't, it's not like you don't know, I'm not good at this..."

"Ha ha……"

That smile is really a little awkward, is it really okay to laugh at the prince of a country like this?Well, this is Datang, it is really possible here.

However, Ayu, you accidentally missed something. You said that your relatives, aunts and aunts...can let you go?

"Ayu, Ayu, I heard that you are good at writing poems? Why don't you write for my mother? Fortunately, I still treat you as a brother."

This is Cheng Chumo?That's right, it's him, who else but him is the one who rampages towards people's houses like a wild boar?Wait, who's that in the back?Fang Yiai, look at that kid's excited expression...

"And me, and me..."

It's over, I really want to die...

See Yuyi by the fence of the golden well, and sleep on the cold branch of the phoenix tree.
