Chapter 0400 'Seventeen Posts' and 'Preface to the Lanting Collection'
Man Tang Hong Chapter 0400 "Seventeen Posts" and "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection"
Ling Jing smiled bitterly and said: "But I am a civil servant, so it is useless to ask for a big gun?"
Speaking of this, he looked specifically at Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji understood and smiled and said: "Second brother, Ling Jing is just a civil servant. If you give Ling Jing the bronze spear that your father gave you, I'm afraid it will be covered in dust. I'm afraid my father will be unhappy if he finds out.
So you’d better give me something else.”
At this point, Li Shimin didn't give Li Shimin a chance to speak. He looked at Ling Jing and said with a smile: "Since my second brother is so generous, I can't be stingy either. Didn't you fall in love with the "Suzhou Sutra" in my house?
Is it an orphan copy?
Sent to you."
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Is it really for me?"
Li Yuanji nodded slowly.
Ling Jing cupped his hands in joy and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."
Li Yuanji set the tone, and Li Shimin was no longer stubborn. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly said with heartache: "I just got a volume of Wang Youjun's calligraphy, so I'll give it to you."
Ling Jing was stunned when he heard this and did not react immediately.
Li Yuanji's expression changed, and he was shouting loudly in his heart.
Is it "Preface to the Lanting Collection"?
Is it "Preface to the Lanting Collection"?
Is it "Preface to the Lanting Collection"?
According to rumors from later generations, the last owner of the original "Preface to the Lanting Collection" was Li Shimin.
Rumor has it that Li Shimin loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much and cherished the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" so much that he would take it to his mausoleum after his death.

So that people in later generations who want to see the authentic style of "Preface to the Lanting Collection" can only think about it.
Perhaps one day, future generations will be able to enter Li Shimin's Beacon Mountain with the advancement of science and technology, as well as the advancement of excavation technology, to find out whether the rumors are true or false, and to have a glimpse of the authentic style of "The Preface to the Lanting Collection".
It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to visit Li Shimin's Beacon Hill, nor did he have the chance to find out whether the rumors were true or false.
However, he had the opportunity to glimpse the authentic style of "Preface to the Lanting Collection" earlier than later generations, and that's now.
It would be even better if it could be his private possession.
A hundred years later, like Li Shimin, he can use it to cushion the coffin board.
Anyway, it would definitely be better to put the original "Preface to the Lanting Collection" on his coffin board than to put it on Li Shimin's coffin board.
After all, after Li Shimin dies, his tomb will definitely be raised.
As long as you build a mausoleum, you cannot avoid being spied on.
If you meet a Jin man who likes to open coffins and throw away corpses, not only will the bones be lost, but a national treasure like the "Preface to the Lanting Anthology" may also be destroyed.
So it is better for him to use it as a coffin board. Anyway, he has decided that when he is about to die, he will disappear quietly without leaving any traces. He will definitely not have the opportunity for his descendants to bury him in a grand ceremony.
.
After fully experiencing the culture of tomb robbing, he felt that how glorious it was for descendants to bury their ancestors, how miserable they were when they were dug out later.
If you meet an unworthy descendant, you might even lead someone to dig up your grave.
If this situation really happened, it would be a real shame for our ancestors.
As he was thinking wildly, Li Yuanji's eyes fell on Li Shimin. He urgently wanted to know whether the calligraphy of 'Wang Youjun' mentioned by Li Shimin was the original of the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".
Ling Jing also reacted at this time, staring at Li Shimin eagerly, and said with trembling words: "But... Wang Youjun's authentic work?"
As a saint of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi was respected by scholars both when he was alive and after his death.
His calligraphy works were highly praised and were not only extremely valuable, but were also regarded as favorites by many emperors and as family heirlooms by many wealthy families.
As a scholar, how could Ling Jing not be excited when he had the opportunity to obtain Wang Xizhi's authentic works?
Not only him, but also Li Yuanji, a person who is not very obsessed with calligraphy, was excited.
Qu Tutong, Huang Junhan, Yin Qiao, Qin Qiong, Li Junxian, Zhang Gongjin and others were also excited. Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Han Liang and others were even more excited and bared their teeth.
They were not only excited, but also jealous.
He was jealous that Li Shimin actually gave Wang Xizhi's authentic works to Ling Jing, and also jealous that Ling Jing had the opportunity to own a copy of Wang Xizhi's authentic works.
Yan Silu, Ouyang Xun, and Yu Shinan, who had always liked calligraphy and were good at it, almost ran out regardless of the rules and persuaded Li Shimin to take back his life.
Yan Silu was not well-known under Li Shimin and had never been a high-ranking official in his life. However, he had a great-great-grandson who was famous in the calligraphy world, and that was Yan Zhenqing.
Ouyang Xun's reputation under Li Shimin was not low, but he rarely publicized his reputation because he was not only a bachelor under Li Shimin, but also the leading figure in Li Jiancheng's palace.
When Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were at loggerheads, he didn't dare to show off his presence casually.
If he is targeted by either Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, he will be in trouble.
His attainments in calligraphy are quite high, and his regular script is the best in the world. Many people who admire him call his calligraphy "European style". His son Ouyang Tong's calligraphy attainments are also not low, and the father and son will be together in the future.
They are called 'big and small Europeans' by those who admire them.
His family can be said to be a calligraphy family, and it is precisely because of this that he values Wang Xizhi's original calligraphy more than anything else.
Yu Shinan not only had a high reputation under Li Shimin, but also had a high status. Among the bachelors in the Xiuwen Hall, he and Fang Xuanling ranked first together, and they were in charge of the Xiuwen Hall together.
His calligraphy may not be as good as Ouyang Xun's, but it does not hinder his love for Wang Xizhi's original works.
Because he is a scholar.
A very erudite scholar, known as the Five Wonders.
Among them, erudition is one of the greatest qualities, and there are four other great qualities: virtue, loyalty, literary style, and calligraphy.
After Li Shimin heard Ling Jing's words, he laughed and said, "Can I give fake rewards to people?"
Li Shimin gave everything, so he stopped acting like a little daughter.
Although I may still feel pain in my heart, at least I appear to be very open-minded and generous on the surface.
"Keming is hurting me."
Ouyang Xun saw that Li Shimin really wanted to reward Ling Jing with Wang Xizhi's original work, and he wailed heartbrokenly.
Yu Shinan, Yan Silu, Fang Xuanling and others nodded with deep understanding.
If Du Ruhui hadn't lost both people and battles, Li Shimin wouldn't have spent such a huge sum of money.
Although Du Ruhui was their colleague and had been hit hard and it would take a long time to recover, this did not prevent them from complaining about Du Ruhui.
They were just colleagues, not father and son, so they didn't have to carefully take care of Du Ruhui's emotions.
"I would like to thank Your Highness for the generous gift."
After Ling Jing confirmed that the Wang Xizhi calligraphy gifted to him by Li Shimin was authentic, he bowed to Li Shimin and thanked him without hesitation.
No greetings were exchanged, no courtesy was given.
There is even a sense of impatientness to get the reward.
Although he behaved so badly, no one present laughed at him.
Because if it were them, they might have behaved worse than Ling Jing.
Li Shimin was so amused by Ling Jing that he couldn't laugh or cry, "Are you really so rude?"
Ling Jing stood up and said with an excited smile: "I dare not be polite. I am afraid that if I am polite, Wang Youjun's book stickers will disappear."
"Hahaha……"
Li Shimin was completely amused by Ling Jing.
Qu Tutong, Huang Junhan and other people who were not very greedy for the original "Preface to the Lanting Collection" were also amused.
Only Ouyang Xun and others still looked sad.
After Li Shimin laughed, he said to Ling Jing: "Don't worry, I always keep my word. If I say I will reward you with Wang Youjun's calligraphy sticker, I will definitely reward you."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin also joked: "If you don't believe it, I will send someone back to the palace to get it now."
Ling Jing nodded without hesitation.
Li Shimin was so amused that he laughed again, and immediately ordered Duan Zhigan beside him to go back to the palace to get Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.
Li Yuanji discovered that Li Shimin would instruct different people to do things when faced with different situations.
This is the benefit of having so many talented people at your disposal.
This is also the benefit of having all the heroes in the world at my command.
It's not like him, who only has one or two people around to listen to him.
If an important task is handed over, there won't even be a decent person around to listen to it.
However, Li Yuanji's greed for the authentic copy of Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection" disappeared when Li Shimin asked Duan Zhigan to get the calligraphy.
Because he was close, he could hear clearly.
When Li Shimin asked Duan Zhigan to get the calligraphy, he mentioned "Seventeen Calligraphy" instead of "Preface to the Lanting Collection".
Although "Seventeen Posts" is also one of Wang Xizhi's masterpieces, it is not as famous as "Preface to the Lanting Collection", nor is it as precious as "Preface to the Lanting Collection".
It's not like he has the nerve to 'steal' it from Ling Jing's hands. It's not worth it.
After all, given his status, it is easy to find an authentic portrait of Wang Xizhi.
For example, he is now sending people to send a message to the people of the Li family in Zhaozhou, saying that as long as the people of the Li family in Zhaozhou can get him an authentic work of Wang Xizhi, he will let the Zhaozhou Li family go.
The people of the Li family in Zhaozhou will definitely try their best to help him obtain Wang Xizhi's authentic works.
Maybe they will also come up with an authentic handiwork of Wang Xizhi that has never been recorded in history or has never been shown to anyone.
After all, the Zhaozhou Li family is a large family that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. It can be traced back to Li Mu of Zhao State in the pre-Qin period. There must be some unknown heritage and unknown treasures.
Even if you don't have Wang Xizhi's original work, you can exchange your family's treasures for it with several other famous families, or you can exchange it with someone who has Wang Xizhi's original work.
Therefore, it would be really easy for him to find an authentic portrait of Wang Xizhi.
There is no need to shamelessly snatch it from the people under your command.
If it is the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", then it can break the lower limit. If not, then there is no need.
"Okay, let's continue the competition."
"Who's coming next?"
After Li Shimin finished giving instructions to Duan Zhigan, and after Duan Zhigan left the high platform, he started the competition again.
