Needless to say, jade Ruyi and red coral were certainly very valuable, but what really interested Li Yuanjia was the "Picture of Confucius' Disciples" by Dai Kui, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, given by Prince Li Chengqian!
"Dai Kui? Big boss!"
After wandering around the painting for half an hour, Li Yuanjia showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He couldn't tell whether it was authentic or not.
Although he, the King of Han, has shown considerable talent in calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and has been practicing calligraphy in recent years, after all, his mind is no longer on this, and his progress is really limited. Especially when Li Yuanjia "created" other than Yuan
After Jia Ti, that is, Song Ti, Li Shimin even despaired of his aesthetics.
But Li Yuanjia had heard of the name Dai Kui.
Of course, I didn’t hear it in my previous life. After all, for the painters of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty only knew one Gu Kaizhi, who was a super master in the history of Chinese painting.
But since he has learned painting in this life, it is impossible for Li Yuanjia not to know about Dai Kui.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Chinese calligraphy and painting art reached a peak. Among them, the representatives of calligraphy were the two kings, namely Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, while the representatives of painting art were Gu Kaizhi and Dai Kui, who can be regarded as the standard-bearers in the circle!
So after reading this "Picture of Confucius' Disciples", Li Yuanjia felt particularly comfortable: "If it can be preserved a thousand years later, will this thing have the same status as "Picture of Luo Shen Fu" and "Picture of Proverbs of Female History"
?Even if it doesn’t reach that level, it should still be a top national treasure, right?”
Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia's heart moved: "Should we collect famous paintings or something in the future? There were many famous paintings in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but unfortunately most of them were probably lost later, especially Gu Kaizhi's paintings... What a pity! And it seems that the famous painters of the Tang Dynasty also
There are quite a few, for example, that guy Yan Liben’s paintings, do you want to go back and get a few more for your collection?”
The famous Yan Liben is now the minister of the Ministry of punishment and a young prisoner.
Speaking of which, he was also born into a noble family. His grandfather was Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his father was Yan Bi, the former young eunuch of the Sui Dynasty, and his mother was a princess of Qingdu in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His life experience could be described as prominent. If I have to mention it, in fact, Li Yuanjia’s maternal uncles, Yu Wenshi and He
Yan Liben still has a little relationship.
Yuwenshi and his ancestors were Huns, Xingpoyantou, and were also servants of the Yuwen family. They were later given the surname Yuwen. So if we trace it back strictly, the ancestors of Li Yuanjia's uncle's family should be servants, or slaves, of the ancestors of Yan Liben's uncle's family.
…
Just last year, Yan Liben was ordered to make the Six Horses of Zhaoling together with his brother Yan Lide.
Li Yuanjia was not very familiar with this one of the most famous painters of the Tang Dynasty, or should be said that he was not very familiar with all the officials of the Tang Dynasty, but since he had the titles of King of Han and Mu of Yongzhou, he must have asked this big boss for help.
It shouldn't be difficult to draw pictures or something. The only thing that makes Li Yuanjia confused is whether he should collect these things.
"Your Majesty, the people from Fangfu are here."
Just when Li Yuanjia was desperately trying to recall whether Wu Daozi, another Tang painter, had been born, the housekeeper Han Shan walked in and said respectfully.
"Fangfu? What are they here for?"
After hearing what Han Shan said, Li Yuanjia was slightly stunned.
Fang Xuanling followed the emperor to Luoyang, and all the family members, old and young, naturally followed him. Only an old man stayed in Chang'an to look after the house, so he was naturally startled when he suddenly heard someone coming from Fang's residence.
"Back to your Majesty, it is Mr. Fang who has written a letter from Luoyang."
"oh."
After hearing what Han Shan said, Li Yuanjia immediately became famous.
He waved to Han Shan to bring the person in. The person in the house bowed and held the letter in his hands. At the same time, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have sent you some gifts to congratulate your Majesty on your move to a new house."
"Haha, my husband is worried about me."
After smiling slightly and saying polite words, Li Yuanjia opened Fang Xuanling's letter.
The letter is not long, only two pages.
The main purpose was to congratulate Prince Han on his move to the palace, and also said a few words about the weddings of the two families next year. So after reading it once, Li Yuanjia immediately ordered someone to prepare stationery and wrote a reply to Fang Xuanling on the spot. As the filial piety period ended
With the throne consolidated with Li Shimin, he now has less scruples about normal interactions with Fang Xuanling.
After handing the letter to the boy from the house and asking Han Shan to prepare some gifts in return, Li Yuanjia sent them away.
Happy to move to a new home, not many people came to congratulate me.
In addition to his nephew Li Chengqian who stayed in Chang'an, Li Yuanjia's uncle Yuwenshi and his future father-in-law Fang Xuanling, there are only a few people including Yong Governor Shi Yangzhan. But for Li Yuanjia, this is actually the best result.
, because from the time he moved into this new, large and scary house until Li Shimin returned from Luoyang in February next year, he had three or four months to do what he wanted to do.
This matter is of course not planning a wedding.
In fact, the wedding between King Han and the eldest lady of Fangfu was naturally managed by the royal family and Fangfu. Even Han Shan was just cooperating. Li Yuanjia did not need to pay attention to anything at all. And the various affairs of Yongzhou were also managed by Yang Zuan and his gang.
Well, even if Li Yuanjia had to work as a Yongzhou shepherd for the rest of his life, he would never interfere in a single day's political affairs.
He doesn't care what other brothers do, anyway, he just wants to be an idle prince, or put his energy and time in more interesting places, such as...
"In the next period of time, I will make a small font library!"
After calling Chen Qian, Huang Licheng, Li Zhong and Ma Liang, Li Yuanjia said calmly: "This workload is relatively large, so I need the four of you to help me do it together. Of course, you are usually free.
It’s time to do it, don’t delay your own serious business.”
After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, the four of them looked at each other. Finally, Chen Qian frowned and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask what this font is..."
"Zi Liu!"
Taking a slow sip of tea, Li Yuanjia smiled and said, "If I had to give an example, it should be something like "Shuowen Jiezi"."
"..."
The air in the whole room suddenly became quiet.
The two young stewards, Li Zhong and Ma Liang, were fine. To put it bluntly, they just studied with Chen Qian for two years and learned Indian numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They didn't know much about "Shuowen Jiezi" or anything like that.
But after Chen Qian and Huang Licheng listened to Li Yuanjia's words, their four eyes immediately bulged like frogs, and they showed horrified expressions at the same time!
"Shuowen Jiezi"?
"Gudong!"
After swallowing hard, Chen Qian took a deep breath and asked: "Your Majesty, what did you just say..."Shuowen Jiezi"?"
"Yes, "Shuowen Jiezi"!"
Nodding, Li Yuanjia continued to smile: "But it should be a simple version of "Shuowen Jiezi", which only contains the few hundred most commonly used characters in ordinary books, so it won't be that difficult..."
