In the Imperial Study Room of Tai Chi Palace
Li Shimin wrote calligraphy in front of the case.
His calligraphy attainments are extremely high, and his works are still preserved in history and are highly praised by contemporary calligraphers.
Standing next to him was an old man, about sixty years old.
"Your Majesty's calligraphy is as perfect as fire, and he has advanced to a deeper level."
These words made Li Shimin laugh.
He was very satisfied with the old man's answer.
Then he put down his brush and took a sip of Coke.
This is a Coke bought from Shengtang, and there is a bowl of four-fruit soup and some ice cream on the side.
Obviously, Li Min's goods have entered the palace. There are also people who specialize in purchasing.
Li Shimin was not polite and did not reject him, so he became Li Min's client.
You can eat and drink, why not buy some to enjoy?
He burped, put down the Coke and said:
"Shujie, do you think I can push the economy of the Tang Dynasty to a higher level after obtaining the method of Liuli?"
Shujie, the surname of Wang Gui, was from Fufengyi, one of the four famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty, and the grandson of Wang Sengbian, the minister of Nanliang. He was born in the Wang clan of Fangzhi Wuwan in Qixian County, Taiyuan. He was once a confidant of Li Jiancheng and was later reused by Li Shimin.
There is a slight relationship between this person and Wang Guifei.
At this time, he was in an important official position and was one of the few people who could get close to Li Shimin.
He and Li Shimin were discussing some state affairs.
Wang Gui said: "With your Majesty's talents, you will definitely be able to push the entire Datang economy to another climax! Make Datang stronger!"
Without Li Min's beginning, it would probably take Li Shimin three to five more years to realize this process.
Facing Wang Gui's praise, Li Shimin said shamelessly:
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is Shujie!"
But at this time, Wang Gui frowned and said:
"It seems that even the Liuli of the Sixth Prince is about to start. I'm afraid it will have an impact on all the Liuli in the imperial court."
Saying this seemed to intentionally or unintentionally ignite the flames of war to Li Min.
But Li Shimin didn't take it seriously. He was a little swollen now.
"Him? What can he do? He's just a teenager. How can he have as much experience as me?
Regarding the economy, you have to let me do it, based on my experience in governance!
He was just making a small fuss. Don't think that you are a little clever, and don't think that you are some kind of gentleman! He is far behind! "
Li Shimin became very proud after he obtained the method of Liuli for a period of time.
I feel like I am number one in the world.
Little did he know how he obtained the method of colored glaze.
And this was invented by Li Min alone.
What did Li Shimin do?
He's just a robber.
He also took advantage of Concubine Yang, which was a disgraceful method.
Moreover, Li Shimin's method of using Liuli is even more limited, and has no practical use except for handicrafts. He didn't know that this thing could be turned into something like a lens!
Having said that, if it was really for Datang, Li Min would also dedicate these things. After all, if Datang gets better, he will be better.
If Li Min knew what Li Shimin said just now, he would have to scold him again.
It's a pity that I'm afraid it can't be done now.
When Wang Gui heard this, he quickly said:
"Yes, yes, what His Majesty said is absolutely true. The Sixth Prince does not pose any threat! But if the Crown Prince can be like the Sixth Prince, that would be a blessing!"
I don’t know whether this old man said this intentionally or unintentionally!
"Okay, don't talk to me about the prince, this kid is also useless! It makes me very worried!"
Li Shimin didn't understand why he still mentioned Li Chengqian. He had a good conversation and made himself proud, but he said something that made him unhappy.
"That's because His Majesty is so outstanding. He is the only emperor of the ages, and no one else can compare with him! Others are eclipsed!"
Yu Wanggui said quickly.
This person's desire to survive is very strong.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If it goes as the king wants, everyone will be happy. If not, they will be scolded at best, or their heads will be lost at worst.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Wang Gui's performance.
"Do you think my empire can create a legend for thousands of generations? Can you predict it?"
Li Shimin asked suddenly.
That would knock Wang Gui down as well.
How does he know what will happen in the future?
I dare not draw any conclusions.
And if one person doesn't say it well, I'm afraid he will be blamed by Li Shimin.
He didn't dare to take on this kind of responsibility.
Then, he seemed to be thinking of someone.
Then he said to Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, I may be able to recommend someone to you. He knows everything from astronomy to geography. He is especially good at prophecy. If he can be brought into the palace, he will definitely be able to answer your majesty's questions!"
Are there really such people in this world?
Li Shimin asked curiously: "Oh? Who is he? Can he know the future of my country?"
"Yuan Tiangang is from Chengdu, Yizhou!"
Wang Gui said so.
Li Shimin was puzzled.
Who is this?
"What talents does he have? How can you admire him so much? I am very curious."
Wang Gui then added: "Because I and two of my friends asked him to see his face in the early years."
"Huh? Let's talk about it."
Li Shimin was very curious about Yuan Tiangang.
Wang Gui then said: "Thirty years ago, I, Du Yan and Wei Ting went to see him.
He told Du Yan that the position of Lantai was already full and the school was spacious, so he would definitely be ranked as the censor and be appreciated for his literary talent.
He told the minister that the three courts of his face were already well-proportioned, and that the upper court and the lower court were adjacent to each other. Ten years from now, he would definitely be given an important position in the fifth rank.
He said to Wei Ting: He has a tiger-like face and is very sincere in making friends. He will definitely be supported by his friends. When he starts serving as an official, he will be appointed as a military attache.
He also said that the three of us would be deposed at the same time twenty years later, but we would only leave briefly and would return soon. And he holds a high official position!
Sure enough, thirty years later, I was serving His Majesty, and the other two were also in high positions! Until now, everything he said has come true! Not only that, the public thinks highly of him! "
"Oh? Is it really so expressive?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, not only that, but also..."
Wang Gui recounted all of Yuan Tiangang's deeds as if they were treasures from his family. Everything was described in great detail and fulfilled one by one.
This caused Li Shimin to be shocked.
He shouted:
"What, does this person really exist? Where is he? Declare him in the palace quickly, I want to see him!"
Li Shimin's curiosity was aroused. No matter what, I want to see Yuan Tiangang.
"Yes! He is in the capital, so I will go find him and bring him into the palace!"
"You don't have to go. Tell them where he is and let them find him and bring him into the palace! Just stay here and chat with me!"
"yes!"
Then some eunuchs went to announce Yuan Tiangang's entry into the palace.
In just a moment, he happened to meet Yuan Tiangang who was about to enter the palace and resign.
