Li Shimin was stunned.
Bestowing him with a treasure of calligraphy?
This …
Usually, it was others who begged him to bestow upon others. This time, this shopkeeper actually wanted to bestow him with a treasure of calligraphy?!
In an instant.
Li Shimin's interest was piqued.
He also wanted to see what Zhang Feng could write!
Although Li Shimin was not a well-read person, he had dabbled in the principles of governing a country recorded in ancient books. Thinking of this, Li Shimin clasped his fist and said, "Good, good, good! Then I'll have to trouble Brother Zhang! "
While speaking, Zhang Feng pulled Li Shimin back to the pub again and then hurriedly spread out the brush, ink, paper and inkstone on a new table.
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Feng's posture and couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Good fellow, this posture, not bad!
"Brother Zhang, I don't know what kind of calligraphy you're going to bestow upon me!"
"Shh — —!"
Zhang Feng's expression was slightly serious. He took a deep breath, then picked up the brush and began to paint.
Li Shimin also curiously stared at Zhang Feng's calligraphy. However, when he saw a paragraph written by Zhang Feng, he couldn't help but stare at it.
Zhang Feng's calligraphy was cursive, and it was a wild cursive.
Li Shimin couldn't help but read in amazement.
"Let people be virtuous, know how to make good use of people."
"Open up a path of speech, accept advice without foundation."
"Put people as the foundation, deduct lightly, reward the virtuous."
"Diligent in managing the household, know when to advance and retreat, good system!"
This …
Li Shimin was stunned.
Calligraphy, very good.
And it could be said that Zhang Feng's calligraphy was really good!
But this was not the main point. The main point was that the content of Zhang Feng's calligraphy … It actually contained the principles of governing a country! Although this was only a method of governing an industry written by Zhang Feng, Li Shimin saw a magnificent way of governing a country from this calligraphy!
Talent!
This was a goddamn talent given to the Tang Dynasty by God!
Li Shimin was shocked.
And under his gaze, Zhang Feng changed the brush to a small soft pen and wrote on the side, "In the second year of Zhenguan, in the fifth month of the Dinghai lunar calendar, the beginning of summer, Li — asked Mr. Zhang Feng's calligraphy in the small pub in the East of Chang 'an City …"
Looking at this small line of characters, Li Shimin's eyes could not help but twitch.
You were the one who first proposed to give it to me?
Now, how did it turn out like this?
"Ha —!"
Zhang Feng put down the brush and then took out a seal from his chest. He blew a breath of air and then stamped it on the word "Zhen". Then, he stared at Li Shimin.
"Lao Li! Come, come, come. Take this calligraphy. I, Zhang Feng, believe that if you take good care of it and make a set of family rules, it will be enough to guarantee that your family business will be worry-free for a hundred years! "
Li Shimin's mouth twitched.
"I'll have to trouble you, shopkeeper! Your calligraphy is really impeccable. And I, Lao Li, understand the meaning between the lines! Thank you in advance! "
While talking.
Zhang Feng casually rolled up the calligraphy and handed it to Li Shimin.
"Lao Li! When you go back, spend some money to have this calligraphy. It's best to put it in the ancestral hall or in the study. This is a treasure that can be passed down for generations to come. You must cherish it! "
Li Shimin's hand that was holding the calligraphy trembled.
"This calligraphy, I will cherish it. If you become successful in the future, don't forget about me, a small businessman!"
Zhang Feng couldn't take it anymore and glared at him. "Old Li, I don't like what you're saying! What's the relationship between us? We're the closest brothers! If I really become successful, I can't forget you, Lao Li! "
"Yes! Hahaha! We're brothers! "
While talking, the two of them walked out of the shop with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Li Shimin took out two gold ingots from his chest and stuffed them into Zhang Feng's hand.
"Brother, wait! Wait! I'm leaving! "
While talking, he walked away unsteadily.
Zhang Feng weighed the gold ingots in his hand and clasped his fist. "Lao Li! Why don't I call a sedan chair for you! You … "
"No! You wait! I'm happy to be free. While walking, I can have some peace and quiet and think about what happened today! "
While talking.
Li Shimin couldn't help but quicken his pace.
At this time, Li Shimin had almost sobered up.
Except for the fact that his head was heavy and his feet were light, Li Shimin was really fine.
However, Zhang Feng couldn't take it anymore.
After closing the shop door, he didn't even bother to tidy up the house. He staggered straight to the bedroom in the backyard and fell asleep on the bed.
…
On the other side.
After Li Shimin passed the entrance of the East Market, the Imperial Guards and the Golden Guards in plain clothes immediately surrounded Li Shimin. Li Shimin was also sitting in the sedan chair. Everyone quickly disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun.
In the sedan chair, Li Shimin recalled every conversation he had with Zhang Feng before, especially the few words Zhang Feng said about using others as a warning, and the content of the calligraphy in his hand.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Knowing Zhang Feng, Li Shimin felt that besides the incident at the Xuanwu Gate, this was the most correct thing he had done!
Especially the calligraphy in his hand.
Not only did it contain the solution to the problem with Wei Zheng, but it also proposed a few guidelines for governing the country!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his hand and ordered.
"Pass down the order, change the route and go to Wei Zheng's residence!"
"…"
