"That's how it should be! You and I both know that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, because Taoism respects Lao Tzu's surname Li, and the Tang royal family also has the surname Li, so he respects Lao Tzu as the ancestor, claims to be a descendant of Lao Tzu, and especially worships Taoism. Sixteen years ago, today's saint respects Lao Tzu as Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan, and worships and supports Taoism even more, otherwise how can he treat Hanlin Academy so seriously. The King of Linhuai County looked slightly pleased.

"Not to mention, Taiwei Yu's clever name is really exquisite, and it will undoubtedly be more deterrent in the royal family surnamed Li by winning over the Hanlin Academy and helping him, maybe it was because the old man heard that the second king and the tenth king had a prejudice against Mr. Li, so he had this intention." Guan Lugong has another estimate.

"Still use him to hear? Clear-eyed people are eager to find out at a glance, who on the stage today is angry and angry about the reputation of the text, and it cannot be ruled out that the suspicion between them has long been known! But to protect the text is one of them, have you never seen the text of the heart of the grand wish, the old man's eyes shining? With the help of Datang's economic development, to promote the stability of the country, the prosperity of the people, and the stability of order, what kind of eloquence is needed to achieve it? In addition to ability, you also need to be good and far away from sin, and be pious in order to not change your original intention! In my opinion, the old man's main purpose is to help him from the side. ”

Hanlin bachelor, simply put, is the emperor's secretary, because he can get close to the emperor, so he has a lot of right to speak, although the actual rank is not high, but often appear later in the ministries of Shangshu to serve as a scholar, only to appear that the scholar is very good, after all, the ministers of the ministers, but they are all second-grade or even first-grade officials.

Even in later generations, the emperor abandoned the prime minister, and he was too busy, so he asked the Hanlin Scholar to help him handle things, which shows that Yu Taiwei introduced the Hanlin Academy he once controlled to Li Zhi, and its potential significance is greater than thousands of troops at some special moments.

Therefore, just as the king of Linhuai County said, Taiwei Yu's purpose is not to make Li Zhi seem to hold on to some royal families surnamed Li, but also to have a far-reaching effect.

And Yu Taiwei himself is one of the three princes, and he is the second product. If the Privy Council is compared to the modern Central Military Commission, then we might as well compare the functions and powers of the "Grand Lieutenant" to today's Minister of National Defense and Chief of the General Staff.

However, he had much more authority than the current "Minister of Defense" and "Chief Minister": as long as the emperor agreed, he had the right to mobilize troops throughout the country at will. Let's just be regarded as executive vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, minister of defense and chief of general staff.

At such an advanced age, he is still remembered by the current emperor, and he has no intention of abandoning it, the reason is that in the Hanlin Academy, his disciples and protégés have a lot of influence, so even though Taiwei Yu is in the best position and has little real power, it is not for nothing that he still allows him to open the palace and put his subordinates.

Being able to get such a person to help each other secretly is undoubtedly far more important to Li Zhi than unexpected surprises, so the joy on the face of the king of Linhuai County gradually appeared, and he passed his eyes to Li Zhi before, that is, he wanted him to go up the pole, but unfortunately he was temporarily intervened by his daughter.

At this time, Li Zhi didn't know anything about all this, he only noticed that he had just forced out dozens of people, and because he felt guilty, he stared at these people to ensure that he would enter the store as soon as possible.

After a long time like this, there were still not many customers coming out, so he had to hand over the matter to Li Yi to watch, and made some explanations about the closure of the bank, which led Guan Ming back to the third floor.

Because there was a consolation banquet in the evening, such as King Ming and others were also going to the banquet, Li Zhi did not dare to ignore these bigwigs.

At this time, Taiwei Yu has finished writing the inscription, and several people are appreciating the handwriting banners, and seeing Li Zhi coming, they have dodged away to let him see, Li Tong, the ancestor of the Li family, Li Xian is a master of contemporary calligraphy, and he reminded him first: "Mr. Li, you have to treat this book well, ordinary people want to get a piece of ink treasure with the old man, but it is extremely difficult, that is, I have repeatedly begged for a 'quiet' word!" ”

King Song is also glamorous, "The old man's calligraphy not only inherits the Taoist system, but also has the brushwork of the holy way, and Yu Hanmo also works." More good grass, especially good at such big characters, the pen is calm and elegant, although the piece is inch, but for people to fight for the secret. You kid is blessed, but I can only hope! ”

Taiwei Yu laughed, "How many of you are crying here, over the years, how many of you are here, which one of you has run away to me?" Especially you, old master, I know that a few times you have collected all the paper baskets I discarded! ”

Guan Lugong was not ashamed, "You and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, even if I go to you, I have to shirk in every way, let alone others?" You have never stopped in the pond all your life, your calligraphy is exquisite, the pen and ink are majestic, and you are superb, so why is it difficult to leave a few more ink treasures in future generations? I can't figure out why you're so stubborn! ”

Li Tong said with a smile: "Lord Taiwei's hand-me-down works are mainly written in simple books, with very few large characters and ink, I think it is unintentional to make people pay too much attention to superficial things, and ignore the learning of righteousness and knowledge in the simple books. ”

Mrs. Yu praised, "Brother Xian is really worthy of calligraphy, and he knows the psychological conflict between calligraphers and scholars!" It is my personal insistence to turn the concept into an ideological doctrine, hoping to take advantage of this fame and cover the light of its calligraphy art as my life's wish! Since ancient times, the ink has been handed down from generation to generation, although it is a fragmented and fragmented compilation, and it has been treasured as a treasure, which often makes people pay more attention to the calligraphy itself, thus ignoring the huge influence of the spread of ideology and culture. ”

Li Zhi has never spoken, one is that all the people present are highly respected or high-ranking people, and the other is that he is extremely lacking in the study of calligraphy, and he has the liberty to confide in uncomfortable words, which is not ridiculous and generous.

Moreover, a few people revealed that they were chattering about getting Yu Taiwei's Mobao, and at this time it was best to keep their mouths shut as the best way to avoid the target.

He only showed excitement to show that he was not at peace in his heart, and with his current level of reading, he could also appreciate the extraordinary, but it was not completely fake.

"I think Mr. Li has made a great contribution to this large character, because the best rice paper he has developed is far more ink-moisturizing than any hard yellow paper rice paper, as long as the proportion of ink and wash is well controlled, the pen can be used quickly, which can make him feel a deep artistic effect, and let the five colors of ink be fully reflected. Moreover, this kind of rice paper is tough and moist, light but not slippery, white and dense, and pure in texture, in addition to inscribed poems and paintings, it is also the best paper for writing diplomatic notes and preserving high-level archives and historical materials. ”

The so-called ink is divided into five colors, that is, after the completion of a stroke, the depth of the ink, the texture is visible, the ink rhyme is clear, and the layers are distinct.

"Not only that, this kind of paper is tough and can be moistened, rubbed and folded without damage, in addition to strong ink resistance, aging resistance, no discoloration, less moth-eaten, long life, but also hard yellow paper can not achieve! Half a month ago, Mr. Li gave me a few knives, but it was more tenacious than the previous development, and I think Mr. Li will have the possibility of improving its quality in the future! Li Tong added.

Li Zhi then spoke, "Indeed, at present, the raw materials of rice paper are the best that can be found near Chang'an City, but with my understanding of craftsmanship, there is still some distance from the realm in my mind that is as light as cicada wings as white as snow, and trembling like fine silk without hearing sound!" As early as January ago, I sent people to all parts of the country to find more suitable raw materials, and according to the feedback, the prospects are promising! ”

"Light as cicada wings, white as snow, trembling like fine silk without sound? Sure enough, the writing is extraordinary, but this ideal state of rice paper, in my personal opinion, only feels like a dream! However, I believe that Mr. Li can do it, just the current rice paper, which is beyond the earlier understanding, and I am afraid that he will be really confused if he holds his own opinion! Fengyun, come, give me ink! ”

Fengyun is thin, only more than thirty years old, the youngest disciple of Yu Taiwei, is now a Hanlin worship, mainly engaged in drafting edicts, compiling books, writing volumes, interpreting scriptures and teaching history for the royal family, and acting as an imperial examination examiner, etc., has nothing to do with politics, belongs to the literati idle post of clean and simple.

The old man has a total of 13 formal disciples, most of them are in the Hanlin Academy or concurrent or specialized, each with different duties, the eldest disciple Ziyi Zi Handian, has been more than sixty years old, in order to wait for the edict of the Hanlin bachelor, the grade is from the third grade of silver Qingguanglu doctor.

In the past, he was regularly on duty and waited in the courtyard for the emperor's summons, accompanied the emperor to play chess, paint, write, divination, and cure diseases, not only to serve the emperor with his expertise, but also to serve as a personal staff scribe for advisers.

But as Empress Wu went to Luoyang, Ziyi was banned by the sick-ridden Gaozong, from the reply form, to the article, at any time to announce the writing of the text, becoming now Gaozong's closest adviser and secretary. Moreover, because he was often in the middle of the ban, he was ordered to write important proclamations such as the appointment and dismissal of generals, the appointment of the crown prince, the announcement of conquest or amnesty, etc., and the ban was known as a supernumerary and internal minister.

At this time, Yu Taiwei wanted to study the ink, that is, he was moved by the artistic conception of "white like cicada wings, shaking like fine silk without sound", so he raised the book and Li Zhi, not only for the future of higher quality rice paper publicity, but also hoped to inspire him to develop the ideal quality rice paper as soon as possible.

As a generation of calligraphers who are still famous more than a thousand years later, only because the surviving works are extremely rare, they are more famous than later generations, and the fame of the four masters of Su, Huang, Mi and Cai is much inferior, but the attainments are not conceded at all.

Thirteen words in one go are only between the tea, Guan Lugong praised loudly: "Vertical and horizontal, the pen gesture is as vigorous as thirsty Ji Benquan, the style of writing is unique, and it is worthy of the respect of the people!" ”

Yu Taiwei smiled, "I think that the method of writing words, the lack of knowledge and narrow learning, the three will not be perfect, but I have both eyes and hands, so that the calligraphy and dot painting can come easily." The accumulation of knowledge is profound, the heart and hand are corresponding, and the metamorphosis is endless, that is, this is the experience of my life! Where does the mind and hand come from? It is my daily observation of the changes of summer clouds and realization! ”

Among the other people, Li Tong and Li Xian's calligraphy are the most, and when they hear their words, they fall into the immersion of their hearts, and everyone no longer speaks, silently copying the strokes in the book in their hearts.

After a long time, Li Tong opened his eyes and sighed: "Today I have benefited a lot, the old man is like a noble man, he is full of spirit and brilliance; The crown of big characters occupies the present, and there are few matches. But your suggestion made me feel like I had an epiphany! In ancient times, Wang Xizhi watched the white goose floating in the water and realized the artistic conception, and now there is Yu Taiwei to watch the changes in the summer clouds, understand the changing momentum, and find the more subtle points of the calligraphy. ”

As he bowed down and bowed deeply, everyone was also excited about his calligraphy enlightenment, and the old Ming King was another calligrapher in Chang'an City in addition to Yu Taiwei, and it was undoubtedly another great blessing in the Tang Dynasty literary circle.

Before the ink could dry, King Song reminded him that the hour had come and that he needed to rush to the place of the dinner.

Li Zhi resigned early tonight, and the busyness of business here is also well known, so no one said anything else.

And Taiwei Yu is too old to go, but he also needs to return to the mansion to recuperate.

Hearing that Li Zhizao arranged for someone to open another door on the backyard wall, everyone praised him for his carefulness and thoughtfulness, and carried Yu Taiwei downstairs when he came, and on the steps, the two had agreed to meet at Yu's Mansion at the south gate of the city in the afternoon two days.
