Chapter 93 Rewards
When Li Shimin left, he smiled and was in a very good mood.
This time, not only did the reputation of the aristocratic family suffer a blow, but also lost 600,000 yuan.
After Li Shimin left, Lin Xuan and Cheng Chumo and his gang also left.
Judging from the expression of the Cui family, you know that you don’t care about food, and they don’t care about it either.
As soon as he left the Cui family's gate, Cheng Chumo said happily: "Looking at the Cui family's face, I feel very happy. I must go to Mingyue Pavilion to celebrate today."
Lin Xuan didn't know whether Cheng Chumo was really happy or wanted to go to Mingyue Pavilion to play, but none of these matters.
Wang Qingyun threatened him and asked someone to seal his shop, but now he finally took revenge. He was also very happy, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you today."
Just as Lin Xuan and his friends were about to get on the horse, a general led a team of imperial guards over.
"Your Majesty has an order to let the Jingyang County Bo enter the palace."
Lin Xuan complained in his heart that Lao Li wouldn’t ask for money from him? Didn’t Cui Hao just say that he could only give it to him? This is too urgent!
But Li Shimin summoned him and he had to go and said to Cheng Chumo and the others: "You go to Mingyue Pavilion first, I will find you later."
Cheng Chumo and his friends nodded and got on the horse and left.
"I'm going to take the lead. I wonder what the general is called?" Lin Xuan asked with his hands bowed.
"The responsibility lies with Li Junxian." Li Junxian said coldly.
He was in charge of some of the imperial guards, and if he wanted to not arouse Li Shimin's suspicion, he was destined to be an isolated minister.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised. The person in front of him was Li Junxian, who was sentenced to death by Li Shimin for the rumor that the heroine Wu family had the world.
There are rumors that after the Third Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wu clan had the world.
Although Li Shimin didn't believe it, he had a seed in his heart.
Later, this statement became more and more popular, so Li Shimin sent someone to investigate secretly.
However, in history, there has never been a case where a woman was in power and ascended the throne and became an emperor, so Li Shimin did not truly associate the prophetic "female protagonist" with women.
Until one time, Li Junxian made military achievements and Li Shimin invited a group of generals in the palace.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone started chatting. Someone revealed Li Junxian's shortcomings and said that although he was a man, he had the nickname of "Fifth Lady". Everyone laughed at Li Junxian for this, and only Li Shimin really heard it.
"Five" can be said to be homophonic to "Wu", and does "My Lady" refer to the "female protagonist" in the prophecy? So Li Shimin began to be alienated from Li Junxian and was more careful. Later, Li Shimin was still worried and found a reason to dismiss Li Junxian and investigated it. In the end, he took his life for false charges.
In Lin Xuan's opinion, this statement cannot stand scrutiny. If the ancients were so powerful, there would be no dynasty replacement.
You must know that at that time, Wu Zetian himself did not have that ambition.
What she thought most at that time was to be loved by Li Shimin.
Her ambition should be that after Li Zhi became emperor, the power in Ta's hands became increasingly greater and gradually rose.
So why is this statement?
Lin Xuan thought it should be that Wu Zetian wanted the world to think that she was born by destiny and made up.
Didn’t the ancient emperors often make up rumors to show their destiny?
Like Liu Bang said that he was the son of Emperor Chi, Li Yuan said that the Li family was a descendant of my son, etc., they were all fooling the people.
Li Junxian was a little furious when Lin Xuan looked at him. He didn't know why Lin Xuan looked at him with such eyes, so he had to say coldly: "My uncle of Jingyang County, Your Majesty is still waiting!"
Lin Xuan came to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Then let's go."
Along the way, Li Junxian had a cold face, looking like he was not close to strangers.
Lin Xuan wanted to say a few words to him, but he couldn't find the opportunity and was very depressed.
...
"See Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan bowed and bowed.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Don't give me a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Xuan thanked and sat down.
"You have made great contributions, what reward do you want?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
Lin Xuan felt sorry for his heart, saying it seemed like you could give me whatever I wanted.
Can you give me a name if I want your daughter? Can you give me a title if I want a duke?
If he dares to make these requests, he will still say whether he can go back alive!
"This is what the minister should do, how can you ask His Majesty to reward me!" Lin Xuan said righteously.
The more he said this, the more embarrassed Li Shimin felt.
Li Shimin insisted: "You can make a normal request like me, and I can satisfy you!"
Seeing that Li Shimin was not a fake, Lin Xuan said, "I heard that Your Majesty loves Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface very much, and I often copy it. I wonder if it is true?"
"Lantingxu is not in my hands!" Li Shimin's face was a little dark. I heard that Lin Xuan wanted Lantingxu?
Don’t say that you don’t have it, even if you have it, he will not be willing to give it to you.
Lin Xuan quickly explained: "Your Majesty misunderstood. I wonder if I want a copy of Lanting Preface that Your Majesty copied?"
He is not stupid, Li Shimin said that it is a normal request, so how dare he make random requests?
"I have copied several copies, and you can pick one and take it back later." Li Shimin did not refuse.
Lin Xuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't need to choose, as long as it is written by Your Majesty."
He was filled with joy. The Lanting Preface copied by Li Shimin himself was priceless in later generations.
Of course he dare not take it out and sell it now, but he has no intention of selling it either. Wouldn't it be better to stay at home as a heirloom?
Some people liked his calligraphy, and Li Shimin was very happy. He chatted with Lin Xuan for a while before sending him back.
Lin Xuan smiled and drew the palace with his calligraphy.
...
"Your Majesty, I don't know why I am so happy." Queen Changsun asked.
"Ahem..."
Li Shimin put away his smile awkwardly and said, "Isn't this Lin Xuan a win in the competition with the aristocratic family? I'm a little happy."
He was embarrassed to tell Queen Changsun that it was because Lin Xuan was so happy like him.
Of course, he would not be so happy if he asked for words.
But a person like Lin Xuan, who has extremely high level of calligraphy and creates a new font, wants his characters, which means recognition and makes him very happy.
Although Empress Changsun felt that Li Shimin didn't tell the truth, she didn't ask much.
"What does Your Majesty think of Lin Xuan?" asked Empress Changsun.
Li Shimin didn't know why Empress Changsun asked about Lin Xuan, and thought for a while and said, "Lin Xuan is very talented, but she seems to be a little unwilling to serve the court."
Queen Changsun was a little curious: "Why did Your Majesty say that?"
"Guanyin Bi, do you know that Lin Xuan won several consecutive victories today, shooting, imprisonment, and books."
