Chapter 93 Rewards
When Li Shimin left, he was smiling and in a very good mood.
This time the family not only suffered a blow to their prestige, but also lost 60 crowns.
After Li Shimin left, Lin Xuan, Cheng Chumo and his group also left.
Judging from the faces of Cui's family, one can tell that they don't care about food, and they don't care too much.
Just after leaving the door of the Cui family, Cheng Chumo said happily: "Looking at the faces of the Cui family, 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 play in Mingyue Pavilion, but these were not important.
Wang Qingyun threatened him back then and asked someone to seal up his shop, but now he finally took revenge.He was also very happy. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'm treating you today."
Just as Lin Xuan and the others were about to mount their horses, a general came over leading a group of forbidden troops.
"Your Majesty has a decree to let Jingyang County Bo enter the palace."
Lin Xuan murmured in his heart that Lao Li would not ask him for money, right? Didn't Cui Hao just say that he would give it tomorrow?This is too urgent!
But when Li Shimin summoned him, he had no choice but to go, and said to Cheng Chumo and the others: "Go to Mingyue Pavilion first, and I will look for you later."
Cheng Chumo and the others nodded, got on their horses and left.
"Your general is leading the way. I don't know what the general's name is?" Lin Xuan asked, clasping his hands.
"The responsibility lies with Li Junxian." Li Junxian said coldly.
He is in charge of a part of the forbidden army, and if he does not arouse Li Shimin's suspicion, he is destined to be a lone minister.
Lin Xuan was a little stunned. This person in front of him was Li Junxian who was bestowed to death by Li Shimin because of the rumor that "the heroine Wu has the world" in history?
According to legend, there are rumors that after the Tang and Three Dynasties, the heroine Wu's family will rule the world.
Although Li Shimin didn't believe it, he planted a seed in his heart.
Later, this kind of statement spread more and more widely, and Li Shimin sent people to secretly investigate.
However, there has never been a woman in power and emperor as an emperor before, so Li Shimin did not really connect the "heroine" in the prophecy with a woman.
Until one time, Li Junxian made military exploits, and Li Shimin entertained a group of generals in the palace.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone chatted freely. Someone exposed Li Junxian's shortcomings, saying that although he was a man, he had the nickname "Five Lady".Everyone laughed at Li Junxian for this, but only Li Shimin really heard it.
"Five" can be said to be a homonym for "Wu", and doesn't "Niangzi" refer to the "heroine" in the prophecy?So Li Shimin began to alienate Li Junxian and be more vigilant.Later, Li Shimin was still worried, so he found a reason to dismiss Li Junxian and investigate him, and finally took his life because of trumped-up charges.
In Lin Xuan's view, this kind of statement cannot withstand scrutiny. If the ancients were so powerful, there would be no change of dynasty.
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 favored by Li Shimin.
Her ambition should be that after Li Zhi became the emperor, the power in the hands of the tower grew gradually.
So why is there such a saying?
Lin Xuan thinks that it should be Wu Zetian who wants people in the world to think that she belongs to the destiny, so she made it up.
Didn't the ancient emperors often fabricate rumors in order to show their destiny?
For example, Liu Bang said that he is the son of the Red Emperor, Li Yuan said that the Li family is the descendant of Lao Tzu, etc., are all fooling the people.
Li Junxian was a little nervous when Lin Xuan looked at him. He didn't know why Lin Xuan looked at him with such eyes, so he said coldly: "Uncle Jingyang County, Your Majesty is still waiting!"
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Then let's go."
Along the way, Li Junxian kept a cold face, as if strangers should not approach him.
Lin Xuan wanted to have a few words with him, but couldn't find a chance, and was very depressed.
……
"I see Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Excuse me, give me a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Xuan thanked and sat down.
"You have made great achievements, what reward do you want?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
Lin Xuan slandered in his heart, as if you could give me whatever I wanted.
I want your daughter, can you name it?I want a dukedom, can you give it to me?
If he dared to make these demands, would he be able to go back alive and make a statement?
"This is what I should do, how can I ask His Majesty to reward me!" Lin Xuan said awe-inspiringly.
The more he said this, the more embarrassed Li Shimin felt.
Li Shimin insisted: "You can make a normal request to me, and I can satisfy you!"
Seeing that Li Shimin did not seem to be a fake, Lin Xuan said, "I heard that Your Majesty loves Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface very much, and often copies it. I wonder if it is true?"
"Lanting Xu is not in my hands!" Li Shimin's face was a little dark. Hearing that Lin Xuan wanted Lanting Xu?
Don't say you don't have it, even if you have it, he wouldn't be willing to give it to you.
Lin Xuan quickly explained: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I want a copy of the Lanting Preface that His Majesty copied, I wonder if it is possible?"
Is he stupid? Li Shimin has already said that it is a normal request, how dare he make random requests.
"I copied several copies, you can choose one to take back later." Li Shimin did not refuse.
Lin Xuan quickly said: "Your Majesty, I don't need to choose, as long as it is written by Your Majesty."
He was overjoyed, the Lanting Preface copied by Li Shimin himself would be invaluable in future generations.
Of course he doesn't dare to sell it now, but he doesn't plan to sell it either. Isn't it good to keep it at home as a family heirloom?
Someone liked his calligraphy, Li Shimin was very happy, chatted with Lin Xuan for a while, and then sent him back.
With a smile on his face, Lin Xuan drew the palace with his calligraphy.
……
"Your Majesty, I don't know why you are so happy." Queen Changsun asked.
"Cough cough..."
Li Shimin put away his smile in embarrassment, and said, "Isn't this Lin Xuan winning the competition with the family? I'm a little happy."
He was embarrassed to tell Empress Changsun that Lin Xuan was so happy because he asked for words.
Ordinary people asked him for words, of course he would not be so happy.
But for a person like Lin Xuan, who is extremely accomplished in calligraphy and has created a new typeface, asking for his characters represents recognition and makes him very happy.
Although Empress Changsun felt that Li Shimin was not telling the truth, she didn't ask any more questions.
"What does Your Majesty think of Lin Xuan?" Queen Changsun asked.
Li Shimin didn't know why Empress Changsun asked Lin Xuan, thought for a while and said: "Lin Xuan is very talented, but he seems a little unwilling to work for the court."
Empress Changsun was a little curious: "Why does Your Majesty say that?"
"Guanyin maidservant, do you know that Lin Xuan has won numbers, shots, imperial and books in a row today."
"In the book competition, the aristocratic family sent Cui Yongzhi from the Cui family, but he still won, which shows his talent. He is so talented but has been hiding his clumsiness and not showing it!" Li Shimin said after thinking for a while.
Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Since he is unwilling to serve the court, His Majesty will force him to do so. I heard that Lin Xuan is interested in Lizhi!"
Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun in surprise, and said, "You mean to marry Lizhi to him?"
