Datang: Kidnapping Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 44 Do You Know Calligraphy?
The next day, Zhang Baozang sneaked out from the back door with a medicine box on his back, and followed Chu Tianyi to the free clinic outside the city.

I was hesitant to talk along the way, why are there so many people blocking my door?
But if the master doesn't say anything, how can I, as an apprentice, ask?
This matter cannot be asked, but there is one thing that must be asked: "Master, who re-wrote the couplet at our door?"

Where is the calligrapher who can write such shocking characters? Zhang Baozang almost cried at that time.

"What's the matter, do you feel bad?" Chu Tianyi asked.

"Where is the master, I don't know how to describe it with my apprentice's literary skills." Zhang Baozang lowered his head, thought hard for a while, and suddenly said pleasantly: "I think of it, the level of that pair of couplets is comparable to that of the couplet." More than ten Chu Suiliang!"

Chu Tianyi smiled. Although Chu Suiliang is also a great calligrapher, he can't compare to Wang Xizhi.

Since ancient times, there has been no one in literature, and no second in martial arts, but Wang Xizhi has surpassed the past and present in calligraphy, and has become the only calligrapher. Need to say more about his level?
noon.

Li Shimin left the palace with Empress Changsun and Liu Hongji, and drove to the outskirts of the city in a carriage.

Now as soon as they go to the outskirts of the city, Empress Changsun clamors to go with her. The reason is straightforward. She misses her daughter and wants to see Changle.

Liu Hongji's right hand was still tied with a layer of white cloth, and the injury was not yet healed.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you arranged for me to sell pork? Where are you going now?" Liu Hongji asked.

Li Shimin remained silent. As an emperor, he wanted to keep his courtiers guessing. If you ask, I will tell you. It's not too embarrassing.

Liu Hongji sighed, lowered his head, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, if you want to clean up me, just tell me, arrange me to sell some pork, can that stuff be eaten?"

And the Empress... What kind of eyes do you have, why do you still think of me for selling pork?

"Hey... It really is difficult for the Tian family to take care of!"

When he reached the gate of the small courtyard, Li Shimin's eyes straightened.

Everyone knows that Li Shimin loves calligraphy very much. According to historical records, when he died, he buried Wang Xizhi's original Lanting Preface in Zhaoling.

"Who wrote this character? Could it be that there is a great Confucian in this small courtyard?" Empress Changsun covered her mouth in surprise. She was also from a family and had seen many calligraphers. I have never seen it once.

"Is there any adult who can write such handwriting?" Li Shimin thought hard, but finally couldn't come up with a clue.

Liu Hongji raised his head, pretending to be serious, and said: "I also think this word is extraordinary, as if...then...cough cough, this word is really good!"

"Okay, you're a big bastard, just looking for something good to say, hurry up and get dressed!"

"promise!"

"Okay, come forward and knock on the door, be polite!"

At the beginning, I thought that Chu Tianyi was not a simple kid, and I didn't know who taught him, but now it seems that there is indeed a master behind him.

"Da da da..." Liu Hongji knocked on the door.

Mrs. Chu was feeding the pigs in the yard, and she was surprised to hear someone knock on the door. Who is so polite?

"Squeak..." opened the door.

Chu's eyes lit up: "Why are my in-laws here?"

"relatives by marriage?"

Liu Hongji looked at Li Shimin in disbelief. This is the suburb of Chang'an, a place where poor people live...

Li Shimin's next generation, there are not many princes and princesses who have married, and the other party is also from a powerful family, so they are all very famous.

Li Shimin's brothers and sisters, those who survived and those who were married are also from powerful families.

Why did an in-law appear on the outskirts of the city?
Liu Hongji grabbed his hair vigorously. What happened today? It was so wrong that even Empress Changsun didn't object.

No... we must cheer up. At the very least, we must protect the safety of His Majesty and the Queen!

"Why, isn't God's will at home?" Li Shimin asked.

"Hehe, God's will followed Mr. Zhang Baozang to the outside of the city to provide free medical treatment for the poor."

Chu is very proud of this matter.

Mr. Zhang Baozhang is a fourth-rank official and the director of the Royal Hospital. He is already a very big figure to us.

So even if you are a rich family, don't even think about looking down on my son.

"Heaven cares for the common people, what a good boy!" Empress Changsun said.

"What a fart, this kid just wants to show off. What time is this? The imperial examination is imminent. If you don't study at home, you still go to the free clinic? Just leave it to Zhang Baozang!"

Li Shimin curled his lips, whoever said good things about this kid would just make things difficult for me.

Everyone came to the yard together, the kitchen chimney was smoking, Chang Le came out of the kitchen, with some black ash on his face, holding a roasted sweet potato in his hand.

"Father, mother, why are you here?"

"Girl, if Mother doesn't come, will you never go home?" Empress Changsun scolded.

It was agreed that he would leave the palace once a month, and stay at least one day, at most three to five days. This is an order from His Majesty, and no one can say anything.

It's a good thing now, but I haven't gone back since I came out, how can this work?

As the mother of a country and the lord of the harem, with so many concubines and princesses under her command, she has to obey everyone.

When the time comes, other princesses will also leave the palace to live. Should they agree or not?
Li Shimin also had a stern face on the side, cooperating with Empress Changsun to teach her daughter.

"Mother, Chang Le learned how to bake sweet potatoes from A Niang, and I want to make them for my mother and father." Chang Le raised the sweet potatoes in his hand like offering a treasure.

Li Shimin melted immediately, my good daughter, hurry up and give me a hug from my father... Huh?What is this sweet potato... Yo?Fragrant and sweet, delicious hey!
"Chang... Duke Changle..." Liu Hongji pointed at Changle, his fingers trembling.

He never expected that the eldest princess of the generation of the Tang Empire would appear here, and she would be as dirty as a peasant's daughter.

Li Shimin's sharp eyes immediately looked over, and whispered: "Shut up, don't reveal my identity!"

Liu Hongji quickly took a deep breath, and then swallowed the word "princess" that came to his lips.

Suddenly, a young man appeared in his mind. That young man was a master of hidden weapons, and he spared his life in the woods beside the Wei River.

Outside.

When Chu Tianyi and Zhang Baozang came back, they immediately saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin, an old man, is so insidious. Now, whenever he comes, he will use Empress Changsun as a shield. This is really abominable.

Li Shimin wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "Boy, you are back, I...then what, let me ask you, is there anyone else in your family?"

"Who else are you looking for?" Chu Tianyi asked warily.

With such a large yard, you can see everything at a glance, so why ask?
"I want to find your elder..."

"You came to see my mother? Li Er, you went too far!" Chu Tianyi wanted to get a stick again. Why the hell did you bring Queen Changsun to come to my mother? What do you mean?
"You... what are you thinking, kid? I'm looking for the great Confucian who taught you how to write, the one who wrote the couplet outside your door."

"You said it earlier, I wrote that couplet!" Chu Tianyi said angrily.

"Heh, why don't you just brag, or you... wait, you said you wrote it?" Li Shimin was completely stunned: "When did you know calligraphy again?"
