Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 30
After receiving Li Shimin's summons, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda rushed to the imperial study immediately without stopping.

After the three of them entered the imperial study, Li Shimin went straight to the point.

"I have a good article here, so I invite the three lovers to come and read it together."

After speaking, Li Shimin handed the rice paper to Fang Xuanling with a smile on his face.

As soon as Fang Xuanling received this article, he was immediately attracted by the punctuation marks on it.

"Hey, the way of punctuating sentences seems familiar, could it be..."

At this time, Fang Xuanling had already guessed who wrote the article, and began to speculate secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty brought us here in such a hurry, is it just to let us read the prince's article? And just now he said it was a good article, what good article can the prince write? To tell the truth or to be obedient?"

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling's expression suddenly stiffened.

Li Shimin had been watching Fang Xuanling's expression all the time, and seeing something wrong with his expression at this time, he knew the reason as soon as he turned his head, and couldn't help laughing immediately.

"What does Fang Aiqing think of this article?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling was startled for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"Your Majesty, I am really ashamed. When I saw these punctuation symbols just now, I felt a little distracted. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are honored as "Fang Mou Du Duan", among which "Fang Mou" refers to Fang Xuanling's top-notch strategy, such people, when faced with emergencies, will naturally not make foolish tricks .

For example, now, Fang Xuanling has just noticed that Li Shimin has lost his mind. If he lies at this time, although Li Shimin will not say anything, it will definitely leave a bad impression. From Fang Xuanling's point of view, this is very unwise , so he decided to tell the truth.

Facts proved that he was right. When Li Shimin heard his explanation, he immediately shook his head with a smile.

"This method of punctuation is called punctuation. It was created by the prince. You have seen it before. It is normal for you to find it familiar. Let's read the article first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Fang Xuanling nodded, he began to carefully read the article in his hand, but just after he read the beginning, the expression on his face changed.

"Hey, this article..."

Yu Zhining had been standing next to Fang Xuanling for a long time. At first, when he heard Li Shimin said that there was a good article, he was already full of interest. Later, he heard that the article contained the prince's original punctuation symbols, which made his heart itch .

But now when he saw Fang Xuanling's surprised face, he couldn't bear it any longer, he hurried over, poked his head out to read the article in Fang Xuanling's hand.

Like Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining's eyes widened as soon as he read the beginning of the article, and then he couldn't help but read out loud.

"Flowers of plants and trees on land and water are so lovely. Jin Tao Yuanming only loves chrysanthemums. Since Li Tang, the world loves peonies very much..."

That's right, this article is exactly the famous "Ai Lian Shuo" in later generations!
"Ai Lian Shuo" is a famous work written by Zhou Dunyi in the Song Dynasty. It can be said to be one of the masterpieces of borrowing things to sing his will. It is listed as a textbook. It can be seen that its value and influence are great. Modern people can be amazed by it, let alone these literati of Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling was not only the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but also one of the [-] scholars of King Qin at the time, so his appreciation was naturally extraordinary. "Ai Lian Shuo" had a great impact on him, so when Yu Zhining read it When he came, he couldn't help but read along.

"I love the lotus that comes out of mud but not stained, clean and clear but not demonic, straight in the middle and straight in the outside, not spreading or branching, fragrant far away but clear, graceful and clean, can be seen from a distance but not played with..."

This sentence can be said to be the essence of the whole article, so as soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Kong Yingda who was next to him immediately slapped her hands.

"It's a good one that's out of the mud but not stained, and it's clean but not demonized', a good one that can be seen from a distance but not played with, and a good article borrowing from Lian Yongzhi!"

Kong Yingda said four "good" words in a row, which shows that he appreciates this article very much. He stroked his beard and smiled all over his face. His expression was like drinking a glass of ice cream on a hot day. As comfortable as water.

After Fang Xuanling and Yu Zhining finished reading the whole article, Kong Yingda immediately bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, as the so-called writing is like a person, those who can write such articles must be people of high character. If you can make friends with them, I will die without regret. I implore Your Majesty to help!"

Seeing Kong Yingda's serious face, Li Shimin suddenly showed a weird face.

Li Shimin knew how this article came about. As a father, Li Shimin naturally hoped that his son would become a success, but when he heard that Gao Ming was evaluated by Kong Yingda as "high and pure", he still couldn't help but blush.

"Uh...Kong Aiqing, you really haven't heard of this article anywhere else?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Kong Yingda frowned immediately, showing a contemplative look on his face, and shook his head after a while.

"I have never seen this article in other places. Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying it bluntly. Once this article is published, it will definitely become famous all over the world. There is absolutely no reason to impersonate it!"

Regarding Kong Yingda's resolute tone, Fang Xuanling also nodded.

"Master Kong's words are very true, and I also think that people who can write such famous sentences as "out of mud but not stained" are definitely not people who can be bought with fame and fortune."

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin also felt that there was some truth, and yesterday he sent people to watch outside the East Palace, and he knew exactly who came in and out.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin frowned immediately.

"Could it be that my son really became enlightened after being ill for a while?"

At this time, there was only this kind of explanation, so Li Shimin took a deep breath, and then nodded towards the three of them with a serious face.

"Three lovers, to be honest, I actually assigned this article to the prince yesterday. Originally, I only planned to beat him up, but unexpectedly he gave me such a big surprise."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda gasped.

"hiss……"

This is more than a surprise, it's just a shock, okay?
Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda, one is Prince Zhanshi, the other is Prince Shaoshi, they have been with Prince Li Chengqian for several years, and they know each other's virtues well, so when Li Shimin said that "Ai Lian Shuo" was written by the prince Only then did the two of them feel so shocked.

Seeing the astonished eyes of the two, Li Shimin shook his head and smiled wryly.

"The last time I ordered someone to kill Xiaoxiao from the Eastern Palace, the prince fell seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, he forgot everything, and his temperament changed drastically."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling immediately sighed.

"Hey, although it is said that the prince is silent and strange, but this matter is quite strange. I am afraid that the prince was bewitched by a demon at the beginning!"

demon?

As soon as Fang Xuanling said this, several people present frowned at the same time.
