After Zhang Yue finished writing his advice to Han Qi, he felt that his writing style was lacking in momentum.
It is best to write the article in one go. If it cannot be done, it will be a little regretful. Seeing that Zhang Yue could not continue writing, he did not continue to force it, so he went back to the bed and fell asleep under the quilt. He made a mental summary of the draft, and then got up to pick it up again.
I read the Book of Songs.
As I was reading the Book of Songs, I suddenly thought of something. I raised my pen on the paper and began to write the last paragraph.
The Yueyang Tower's saying, "Be anxious when the world is worried first, and be happy after the world is happy" has become a motto for scholars in ancient and modern times.
When Fan Zhongyan was studying, he often told people around him that "a gentleman should worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness." This was his lifelong ambition.
Otherwise, no matter how laid out the first half of Yueyang Tower is, the existence of Wang Bo's "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" cannot be revealed, but the aspirational words at the end raise the article to several levels, making it parallel to "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion".
And worrying about the world's worries first, and rejoicing after the world's happiness has become a saying that encourages scholars.
When Zhang Yue wrote about his achievements, he also lamented that "Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal". Although he entered the officialdom at a young age, if he did not work hard and make a difference, he would eventually waste his years. He also thought of "worrying about the world first,
Enjoy the happiness of the world later'.
Combining these secondary emotions, Zhang Yue wrote the last paragraph.
More than a hundred words were written in an instant, and Zhang Yue felt as if he was drinking fine wine, and his whole body was feeling happy.
I am very satisfied after re-reading it, and my article has improved again!
This time he had exhausted all his intentions. It would be hard to express his feelings like this again a second time.
After finishing writing, Zhang Yue planned to copy the article and re-wrote it carefully against the original manuscript. However, he found that although the handwriting of the copied article was beautiful this time, it did not feel as good as the first time.
when.
Zhang Yue doesn’t know why?
Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yue remembered that when he finished writing for the first time, he had already used up all his energy. Now, when he writes again, he uses his craftsmanship, but it is not as smooth and smooth as before.
However, it was already the third watch at the moment, so Zhang Yue fell asleep in the study without much thought.
After dawn the next day, Zhang Yue wrote it three times again, but found that it was still not as good as the first time, and even the second time was not as good as it was. Therefore, he knew that it would be difficult for calligraphy to achieve the artistic conception of last night, and then he regretted it.
Went to the government office.
That night, Han Qi retired from the Yamen and returned to his mansion, where his beautiful maid took off his boots and washed his feet.
Han Qi stroked his hair. Today in the political hall, he had another verbal conflict with Privy Councilor Fu Bi because of the Queen Mother's return to power. This made him feel a little unhappy today.
But as a prime minister, she encountered many such things every day. Now that the Queen Mother asked Fu Bi to return to the court, she was intending to restrain herself.
Thinking of this, the maid on the side had already placed the hot foot-washing water at his feet.
Han Qi had been tired for a day. When he stepped into the footbath with his feet, he suddenly felt healthy. The maid next to him immediately wiped his feet. At this time, the people in the mansion were busy with him.
When Han Qi heard that Zhang Yue had sent the Anguo Temple Pagoda Notes, Han Qi's face broke into a smile.
I mentioned it yesterday that this boy was sent here today, and he seemed to be very sensible.
But...but the other party writes so quickly, he won't use some social writing to perfunctory himself.
Han Qi thought of this and said: "Let's take a look at the article first."
They all say that the article is presented to them at once.
Han Qi read Zhang Yue's article carefully, starting from the words "Huangzhou is the most remote place between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, but since the founding of the People's Republic of China, many ministers and virtuous officials have lived there...".
Han Qi slowly stroked his beard as if drinking fine wine.
It seems that Zhang Yue is not using his social work as a perfunctory excuse. This article is really good.
Han Qi thought about this and continued to read. When the article reached the point of euphemistically advising him, he couldn't help but frown and turned to the governor who had been following him for decades: "How can there be such words?"
Seeing Han Qi say this, the governor said: "If my husband doesn't agree with me, just send him back."
…
Han Qi nodded and patted the paper down, but couldn't help but pick it up again when he read to the end.
Han Qi couldn't help but stood up, but when there was a splash of water, Han Qi stood up from the basin with his bare feet and stepped onto the ground. The two foot-washing maids next to the foot basin were startled by Han Qi's move, and they sat aside for some reason.
Han Qi walked barefoot on the cold floor of the room for a moment, then held up the article and said to everyone on the side: "Okay, okay. From reading the article, we can see how broad-minded and generous this man is, and how to lead the rule of the people..."
"He is indeed a talented person. If this person ascends to the throne, who will remember me, Han Qi, twenty years from now?"
Du Guan bowed and said: "Your Majesty is right, but the previous one...it's better to send it back and let Zhang Duzhi rewrite it."
Han Qi thought for a while and waved his hand: "No, it's such a bad idea. Among the scholars of this dynasty, Fan Wenzhenggong's "Yueyang Tower" and Ouyang Yongshu's "The Drunkard Pavilion" are the most highly praised. I think this article is the first
After the publication of the second article, it can be regarded as the third best article in this dynasty!"
Everyone said: "My husband really loves and cherishes talents!"
Han Qi smiled and said: "Is it true that I love my talents and cherish my talents? Why did I ask Zhang Duzhi to write an article for me? If this son becomes a minister in the future, with this article, I will not be afraid of criticism after my death."
After saying this, Han Qi couldn't help but laugh, and then looked at the advice in the article and said: "A few offensive words, that's all. If you look at the combination of words and words, there is no second person in the world."
"How many people in the world can write such good calligraphy, and how many people can write such good prose!"
Du Guan laughed and said: "Your Majesty is right. I heard that there are countless people in the capital who are asking for Zhang Du's calligraphy. I heard that it is difficult to find his calligraphy even if he has ten characters. With only three to five hundred words in this article, that's three to five."
Thousands of dollars!"
Han Qi smiled and said: "Money is nothing to worry about. This article is what matters. Once this article is published, it will make Luoyang paper more expensive. Even if it costs 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, you should hide this article carefully. If anything happens to my Han family in the future,
What unfilial descendants can do is exchange this article for money, which will be enough for them to eat and drink for the rest of their lives."
Han Qi sighed repeatedly as he looked at this word, and then said to the capital: "Immediately ask the best craftsmen in the capital to engrave this article on a stele! This article can serve as a model for the ages!"
The news that Han Qi ordered someone to engrave the monument was reported a few days later.
There are many people in the capital who write articles for dignitaries. Many scholars feel that these people have made money, but their moral character is somewhat low.
When most people heard that Zhang Yue wrote an essay for Prime Minister Han Qi, they couldn't help but hold this view at first. Don't you Zhang Yue, the top scholar, also have to flatter the prime minister?
But most people read this article with this mood.
But after the story of Anguo Temple Pagoda was really spread, the scholars in the capital changed their minds greatly after reading it. This is not an article praising virtues, but a majestic one, which also shows the integrity of scholars.
But the most sensational thing was when Han Qi accidentally lent Zhang Yue's manuscript to his colleagues at a banquet. Colleagues all praised the standard of this writing style, which can be called "Lanting Preface" to every scholar.
Samples for calligraphy copying.
After such praise, the Anguo Temple Tower Chronicle has become the third best text in the world, along with the Yueyang Tower Chronicle and the Drunkard Pavilion Chronicle.
So scholars rushed to copy, recite, and copy the calligraphy. Suddenly, the reputation of the article spread throughout the world through the capital.
The greatest influence of this Anguo Temple Pagoda was on the students of Imperial College, and it even influenced the imperial examination writing style a few years later.
