Quan Yi and Yi Yang prepared a horizontal knife for Li Hong, while Gao An and Wang Xun prepared a pen holder for Li Hong. The fine wood and brushes of different sizes made Li Hong very happy. Forbidden, I held it in my hand and played with it for a long time, but I almost wanted to use it immediately.
But although his calligraphy has been very good in recent years, the gap between him and the famous masters is not even a little bit. Even the Fei Bai Ti, which the late emperor Taizong Li Shimin was good at, Li Hong still has a bottle of less than half a bottle, and he has to be beaten from time to time. His mother-in-law gave him a hard blow.
However, Li Hong really couldn't accept it. Whether it was his father or mother, the handwriting did have the style of a famous person. Because of this matter, Li Hong once asked Shangguan Yi for advice, and Shangguan Yi curled his lips and said: " To practice calligraphy, you need to be calm and free of distracting thoughts, like green mountains and flowing water, trickling whispers, and as steady as a mountain. Your Highness, you are too tied up in the mortal world, and it is very valuable to be able to write like this. "
Li Hong turned around and walked halfway, almost reaching the East Palace. He didn't understand whether Shangguan Yi's words were praising or scolding himself. Writing is not a monk. As for me, I'm done with the three thousand mortal world. ? So from that time on, someone started to break the jar.
Although the swords presented by the Yiyang couple are not as valuable as the ones that were buried with Grandpa Long, a chicken thief with a hobby of collecting, when it comes to this sword, it can be regarded as a knife that can definitely cut iron like clay. A treasured sword.
The scabbard and handle are made of precious purple sandalwood. The handle of the tentacle is as delicate as a rhinoceros horn. The inner layer of the scabbard is also lined with polished purple sandalwood that exudes a faint light, but outside the wooden scabbard , but the two hundred and fifty in Yiyang were covered with a thick layer of pure gold metal, and naturally there were many jewels and jade inlaid on it.
So the whole knife looks extremely shabby on the outside. The shining golden scabbard is covered with agate and other jewels. The most plain thing is the scabbard, but the front and back are also made of fine jade inlaid with gold hoops. tight.
"Are you afraid that I will die unhappily on the battlefield? If I hold such a knife, I'm afraid that the enemy who wants to capture the prince alive will kill me because of the preciousness of this knife, and then take this knife away. It's for myself." Li Hong rolled his head in dissatisfaction and Yiyang looked triumphantly, not taking his words seriously at all.
Seeing that he was already acting like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, he had no choice but to glance at Quan Yi's consort. The consort had a look of apology on his face and a dry smile. Faced with the prince's words, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
At that time, he even tried to persuade the princess, but the princess refused to listen and insisted on making such a knife and giving it to Li Hong. Now, it’s okay, you should be punished.
Holding the handle of the knife, he slowly pulled out the horizontal knife in his hand. As the blade was slowly pulled out from the fancy scabbard, a chill suddenly shocked people. The rippling blue blade was as flat as a mirror, and the light was discernible. After the blade was completely withdrawn, it exuded a cold feeling and killing intent.
The sharp blade is like autumn frost, and a bit of cold light seems to condense on the burning edge of the blade. As the hand slowly turns, that bit of cold light flows slowly on the sharp blade like a drop of autumn water.
"What a knife!" Li Hong blurted out.
Although he is not an expert in writing, he is confident that he still has a certain vision when it comes to swordsmanship. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, an empire that uses swords, the craftsmen of Taiyi City have worked hard to improve themselves and have strong financial support. The Hengdao they now make, Far beyond Li Hong's imagination.
The sharp blade is made of the famous "earth-covered burning blade" of the Tang Dynasty. After in-depth processing, the entire blade, including the blade, has different hardness at different points of force, making the entire blade The knife is both strong and soft, and can even be used repeatedly on the battlefield without repairs. It is definitely a good knife worth owning.
"As long as you like it, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Yiyang looked at Li Hong's eyes staring at the shining blade of the sword, and took out a scabbard from the brocade box again, and this scabbard was more plain and unpretentious. .
Yiyang held in his hand an ordinary scabbard without any extra decoration, and said again: "I knew you would say that the scabbard was not good, so I left a scabbard for you. This It won’t be conspicuous soon.”
"Quan Yi, thank you." Li Hong ignored the show off Yiyang, took the scabbard from her hand, inserted the horizontal knife, and threw it to Hua Meng, and then said: "There is still this stand, let it go Come into my study and use the ones given by Princess Gao'an from now on."
Yiyang seemed to have expected that he would talk like this, so he didn't even bother to look at him. After hearing the reason why Li Hong invited them to the palace to accompany his mother to have a meal with Gao An, the two women just nodded silently. .
What's more, during the wedding that day, the queen finally gave the two princesses enough face, allowing them to be seen off by the queen to complete the wedding like the direct princesses of the Tang Dynasty. So this time Li Hong asked them to come, naturally he was willing, and also prepared. He gave all kinds of expensive gifts to the queen.
Accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs, several people walked all the way to the Daming Palace. Penglai Hall is where the harem is located. Neither Li Xian nor Li Zhe could easily enter the harem because they were old, but one person was another. Don't worry about it.
So someone swaggeringly led Yiyang and Gao'an to the entrance of Penglai Palace. At this time, Wu Mei was talking to Li Xian, Li Zhe, Li Dan and Li Lingyue about what was opposite the entrance of Penglai Palace. The story of that tree.
"My son joins my mother." Li Hong shouted like a wolf, interrupting Wu Mei's continued speech to Li Xian and others.
When Li Lingyue saw Yiyang and Gao An, she rolled her eyes. When they were facing Wu Mei and saluting, she quickly ran between Yiyang and Gao An. Then she learned the etiquette of Yiyang and Gao An and saluted Wu Mei.
Wu Mei asked the two of them to get up with a smile, holding the hands of Yiyang and Gao An, but there was one thing that obviously couldn't be held by the queen, so she stood in front of the queen and stretched out her little hand to embarrass the queen.
"Go, go, go play with your imperial brother. By the way, you all go down, not all of you can come to this harem." Wu Mei looked at Li Lingyue pouting, jumping up and down, showing her teeth and claws. Climbing into Li Hong's arms, he said calmly.
If it was just a simple prince, that would be fine, but with two consorts, it would be a bit out of place in the absence of the emperor.
And if His Royal Highness the Prince of the Supervisory State is here at this time, there will be no problem for the various princes and consorts to go to the side hall of the Xuanzheng Palace under the guidance of the Prince of the Supervisory State.
Surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs, Li Hong led them and carried Li Lingyue towards the Xuanzheng Palace. Li Zhe had a hesitant expression all the way. He wanted to ask, but he felt that he could not ask. .
Think about the way Li Xian was summoned to the palace by his mother, and Li Xian gave him serious advice. At this moment, when Li Zhe saw Li Hong, he had something in his heart but couldn't say it, so he felt uncomfortable holding it back all the way. .
"What have Lao Liu been busy with lately? You've finished annotating the Book of the Later Han Dynasty a long time ago, right?" Li Hong put down Li Lingyue, sat behind the desk in the study room, and asked calmly.
The sixth child, Li Xian, the seventh child, Li Zhe, and the eighth child, Li Dan, were sitting on one side, while Quan Yi and Wang Xun were on the opposite side. As soon as they sat down, a palace maid immediately served tea and cakes to the royal family.
When the snack connoisseur Li Lingyue and the fat boy Li Dan saw that their mother was not around, they immediately opened their bellies and ate as hard as they could.
"I have finished annotating the Han Dynasty, and now I am studying the Shangshu with Wang Bo and others, or occasionally caring about the drought situation in Xia Yunzhong." Li Xian sat at the lower right and said with a smile.
"Because of your reputation, the Ministry of Finance sent an extra million taels of silver to Yunzhong. I never knew the use of it. I would like to warn you that as the governor of Yunzhong, even though you receive it from afar, you cannot let it go. You have to ask, right?" Li Hong let Li Lingyue climb onto his chair, took off a brush and started writing.
"I just want it. As for where the money went, that is the matter of your Ministry of Revenue. If the supervision is not good, it is also the matter of the Yushitai and the Jiedushi. I don't want to take responsibility." Li Xian looked indifferent and hurriedly put aside the responsibility. said.
"You are just lazy, but no matter what, Dayunzhong Governor's Mansion is adjacent to Shiwei and Mohe. If someone secretly has an affair with them, my father will not let you go." Li Hong looked lazily. Looking at Li Xian, this guy's psychological quality is really good. No wonder after his death... No, after Li Hong's death in history, he dared to seize power with Wu Mei as soon as he became the prince.
"Have you heard any news? Please don't harm me. I am Yaoling. Yun Zhong has always only recognized the imperial court. As a prince of Yuanling, how can I have any real influence on it?" Li Xian raised his eyebrows. , asked doubtfully.
"I don't know how to go. I just feel that for so many years, the Tang Dynasty has used troops in Liaodong, but it has never made enemies of Shiwei and Mohe. Although it is freezing cold there, as a country composed of tribes, they can actually It's just strange that you have been resisting the Tang Dynasty." Li Hong let Li Lingyue put the brush into his hand, then grabbed his hand and wrote crookedly on the paper: "Li Xian is stupid. '
"I was scared to death. I thought something was wrong. Now that my father is personally on an expedition to Liaodong, he might collide with Shi Wei and Mo He. It will be clear at a glance whether anyone in Yun Zhong is having an affair with them." Li Xian frowned, watching Li Lingyue giggle and raise the four words to him, and finally shook his head speechlessly, ignoring the princess who was the only favorite of his father and mother.
Li Hong smiled and stopped talking. Shi Wei and Mohe had always been a tough nut to crack in the history of the Tang Dynasty. However, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, especially during the Song Dynasty, they were all eaten up by the Song Dynasty. suffered.
What Li Hong has not understood until now is that last year's natural and man-made disasters had a great impact on Yunzhong, but it did not seem to have any impact on Shiwei and Mohe. It seemed that they had no food, grass, etc. No shortage.
