Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Shimin looked at the high-spirited Li Min and suddenly realized for the first time that he didn't know enough about his son.  Although he was still skeptical about some of the views in Li Min's words, it did not affect his appreciation of Li Min.

    "Rokuro, although your words make sense, you place too much emphasis on the role of industry and commerce. You must know that agriculture is the foundation of a country, and scholars are the foundation of governing a country. Only by holding these two in hand can the entire country  Only then will the country be stable, and only after the country is stable can it be possible to vigorously develop industry and commerce!" Li Shimin said with a sincere lesson.

    Although Li Shimin was one of the most outstanding emperors in history, due to the education he had received since childhood, the idea of ??building a country based on agriculture has been deeply ingrained into his bones. Therefore, although he recognized the importance of industry and commerce, the importance of scholars and farmers was not the same in him.  The importance is still at the top of my mind.

    "What my father taught me is that my sons and ministers must remember it!" Li Min bowed and said. He also knew that it would not take a day or two to shake the ancient people's mentality of emphasizing scholars and farmers over industry and commerce.  , so there will be no further refutation.  But he turned around and said with a smile: "Father, now our Tang Dynasty is under your governance, the politics are clear and the people live in peace and contentment. I also took advantage of this good opportunity to do something in the industry, so that the country can  The people of Tang Dynasty can live a better life, but in the final analysis, this credit must still be attributed to you, my father."

    Although he knew that his son was flattering him, Li Shimin was still very happy. He patted Li Min on the shoulder and praised him without hesitation, and also told Li Min: This businessman is a wealthy man.  You can do it boldly without any worries, let alone the eyes of others. You must remember what he said when he was supervising the construction of the cement yard, "Dare to be the first in the world."  The thing he accomplished was accomplished, and he was worthy of being the son of Li Shimin!

    Listening to Li Shimin's praise, Li Min was naturally happy. During this period, he was engaged in cement and coal.  Many orthodox scholars have criticized him slightly, saying that as a prince, he did not care about studying and serving the country, but instead focused on these lowly careers, losing the face of the royal family, etc.

    Although Li Min dismissed these words, he was also worried that they would reach Li Shimin's ears. If the emperor's father felt that his son had disgraced him and ordered him not to participate in industry and commerce in the future, then all his previous hard work would be lost.  But it's all over.  Fortunately, Li Shimin was very open-minded and saw the importance of industry and commerce.  He was also very supportive of what he was doing. In this way, the last worry in Li Min's heart was finally dispelled, and he could be more liberal in doing things in the future.

    After hearing what Li Shimin said, the two young princes Li Zhen and Li Zhi.  But he smiled bitterly, thinking that it is not easy to be a son who can be praised by his father. He has to be talented and courageous, and he even has to "dare to be the first in the world". How can this be achieved by ordinary people?  Among their dozen brothers, it is estimated that only the legendary sixth brother can do it. Of course, for Li Min, the sixth brother who is loyal and treats them well, both Li Zhen and Li Zhi  I admire you very much.

    After a delicious lunch, Li Min and Si Zi, their beloved children, were there to welcome them.  Li Shimin was in a very bad mood because of Li You in the morning, but he gradually became cheerful. Anyway, he came out today just to relax, and staying with his children was a good choice.

    When Li Min saw that the emperor's father was going to stay in his house for a day, he was afraid that he would be bored, so he immediately brought out the cards, mahjong, and even the newly made billiard balls.  They introduced and demonstrated the gameplay to Li Shimin one by one. These things were used by Li Min, Wen'er and the others to kill time when they had nothing to do. Of course, Li Yong and Cheng Huailiang would also come to play a few games from time to time, and even asked for a few copies back.  Nowadays, these games are slowly becoming popular among the princes and nobles.

    Li Shimin was also very interested in these novel games, especially billiards, and played several games with Li Min in a row.  Moreover, his level improved very quickly, and he quickly surpassed the half-skilled Li Min by a few steps.

    Although Li Shimin had a great time playing, he still solemnly warned Li Min in the end that it was okay to play for a while, but don't indulge in these things. Of course, Li Min nodded in agreement, but felt helpless in his heart. This emperor's father  Everything is good, just don't forget to teach these children a lesson at all times.

    But after all, after having dinner at Li Min's place, Li Shimin took them to Li Min's study to consider their calligraphy. The key point was Li Min. After all, as a prince, no matter what  No matter what, I can't even write.

    "Okay, everyone, sit down for me!" Li Shimin knocked on the table, asking Li Min and the others to calm down, and then said, "Each of you write a big calligraphy, and let me see if your calligraphy is good.  progress?"

    "Yes, Father!" Si Zi and Gao YangThe others agreed obediently, but Li Min had a grimace on his face. Although he practiced calligraphy every day during this period, his handwriting can only be said to be neat, but when it comes to calligraphy, he can't even talk about it.  Moreover, the younger brothers and sisters in this room are all very smart people. Even a child like Sizi can write well. If Li Min's handwriting is compared, he will definitely be ranked at the bottom. This makes  As an elder brother, he is really ashamed of himself.

    Although he was extremely reluctant, seeing that Li Zhen, Li Zhi and others had already begun to write, Li Min could only pick up the brush, frowned and started writing stroke by stroke.  Seeing his six children writing seriously, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then casually looked around Li Min's study.

    As a prince, Li Min's study room is of course very grand. There are four large bookshelves in a row next to the wall, which are densely packed with countless collections of books. But Li Min can swear to God that since the day he came to Datang,  Since then, he has never read or even touched any of the books on the bookshelf. However, Wen'er usually likes to read, and occasionally takes a book from the bookshelf and takes it back to the room to read.

    There are several small cases next to the bookshelf, with some scrolls and study supplies placed on them. There is a large desk in the middle, with pen holders, inkstones, paperweights and other commonly used items for writing. Li Shimin was bored and walked to the book case.  Want to see what Li Min usually writes?

    "Huh? This is" Li Shimin walked to the desk and immediately saw a thick stack of manuscripts on the desk. The top one had four big characters written on it - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".  The handwriting of these four characters is graceful. The calligraphy is soft and elegant, but it is not masculine. You can tell at a glance that it was written by a woman.

    This is exactly what Li Min wrote silently for Xiao Wenxin every day: The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Every time, he dictated it, and Wen'er wrote it. After finishing it, he sent it to Xiao Wenxin. After Xiao Wenxin read it, he would copy the manuscript himself and correct the grammar in the book.  Or the font is wrong, and then add your own reading experience and send it back to Li Min together.  Li Min put it next to his desk and took it out to take a look when he had time. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin saw it today.

    Li Shimin was curious for a moment, so he picked up the manuscript and read it. As soon as he opened the first page, he was immediately attracted by the song "Linjiang Immortal" with its rich vicissitudes of life. When he saw the text of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" below, he immediately could no longer move.  I read page after page, and finally sat down on the chair behind the desk, completely immersed in the magnificent history of the Three Kingdoms hundreds of years ago.

    When Li Zhi and the others finished writing and wanted to ask Li Shimin to comment, they found that his father was sitting behind Brother Six's desk, reading the manuscript with relish.  When Li Min also discovered this situation, he immediately felt anxious. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was nothing, but the copy on the table was copied by Xiao Wenxin himself. The meaning was of course very different. If his father asked him for it, he would  To give or not to give?

    "Father, we have written it, would you like to take a look?" Li Zhi and Li Zhen waited for a while, but Li Shimin didn't even raise his head. In desperation, Li Zhi had to remind him.

    ¡°What everyone didn¡¯t expect was that after hearing Li Zhi¡¯s words, Li Shimin just said softly, ¡°Hmm,¡± and then continued to look at the manuscript in his hand, with a smile on his face that sometimes showed understanding and sometimes confusion.

    "Sixth brother, what kind of book is on your table? Why is my father so fascinated by it?" Qinghe was standing next to Li Min, pulling his sleeve and asked.

    "Oh~, this let's talk about it later!" Li Min looked very anxious. The more Li Shimin became fascinated, the more worried he became. Although the Three Kingdoms on the table was not finished, it was more than half of it. It was not a moment at all.  It can be read in half an hour, which means that Li Shimin is very likely to take the manuscript away.

    I don't know how long it took, but when Li Shimin saw Sun Jian carrying the jade seal in Chapter 6, he suddenly remembered Li Zhi and the others. He looked up and found that Li Min was playing cards with several younger brothers and sisters, and in front of him  There are large characters written by several people on the desk.

    "Hahahaha~" Li Shimin smiled awkwardly, and when he saw his six children looking at him, he blushed and said: "This, haha, my father was so fascinated just now that I forgot to consider your calligraphy.  It¡¯s about that.¡±

    "Father, is that Romance of the Three Kingdoms really that good? We called you many times just now, but you didn't seem to hear." Qinghe threw down the cards in his hand and said with dissatisfaction. Li Min looked at Li Shimin for a moment.  I couldn't wake up for a while, and Qinghe, Li Zhi and the others kept asking questions, so I had no choice but to briefly introduce the contents of the book.

    "Well, this is really a wonderful book. It can actually bring all the characters in the Three Kingdoms to life. It makes people want to put it down. Moreover, the strategies and tactics used in it are also very useful for reference. My father only read it.  At one glance, I was immediately attracted in." Li Shimin.As he spoke, he had a look of aftertaste on his face, as if he was still immersed in the world in the book.  (To be continued)!  ~!
