Emperor Liu Chan held the fine silk that copied the "Inscription on the Humble Room" in his hand, and Queen Zhang stood beside him. The two of them carefully compared the fonts on the bamboo slips spread on the imperial desk.
That bamboo slip was written by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang himself.
The late Emperor Liu Bei always respected the Prime Minister with dignity and respect. When he settled in Shu, he also asked the Prime Minister to select books for his heir Liu Chan to teach.
Zhuge Liang was entrusted with hand-copying the books of "Six Tao", "Guanzi", "Shen" and "Han".
Moreover, each book uses different calligraphy.
Well, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang loved calligraphy.
When I was working in Nanyang, Jingzhou, I painstakingly searched for the traces of famous masters and learned from them, and I achieved quite a high level of attainments.
Proficient in many kinds of calligraphy, especially seal script, Bafen (one of the official scripts) and cursive script.
The good intention of using different calligraphy to copy was to inspire the emperor Liu Chan to be interested in literary and ink matters, so that he could choose a kind of calligraphy and study it by himself.
The emperor Liu Chan, who had a kind-hearted nature, naturally did not dare to let down the prime minister.
Since the memorials and documents at that time were all written in official script, I picked out eight points to practice. And because I have nothing to do now, I am becoming obsessed with it, and I often practice calligraphy in the afternoon, just to relieve my fatigue.
Now, after being reminded by Empress Zhang, I discovered that the words written by Zheng Jiazi were actually very different from the Prime Minister's story.
His characters are sparse in structure, delicate and energetic; although the handwriting is very thin, it does not lose its flesh; if you scrutinize it carefully, you can vaguely see the grace and grace, which adds a bit of elegance. In terms of the charm of the writing, it can be regarded as strong and strong.
Not serious, majestic yet agile.
"How strange! In the early years of the Queen's family, there were many books copied by various families, and each book had different handwriting. Have you ever seen this calligraphy?"
Emperor Liu Chan smacked his lips for a long time, then raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Never."
Queen Zhang shook her head slightly and answered with a smile.
Immediately, he took the fine silk again, looked at it with bright eyes, and said, "Perhaps I don't remember. Your Majesty, why don't you ask me to send someone to send this fine silk home, and let my brother compare it one by one before making a conclusion?"
"
"No need."
After waving his hand, Emperor Liu Chan found a couch and sat down on his own, "It's such a small thing, there's no need to spend a lot of time on it."
After he finished speaking, he felt lost, "I am more curious about the Zheng family than calligraphy. According to Master Pang, he is handsome and handsome, with a majestic air, and his words are quite joking, which makes people get close to him. It's a pity that I am confined in this palace.
No chance to meet."
Seeing this, Queen Zhang's long eyebrows moved slightly and she smiled gracefully.
He walked straight over, sat on the side, put his bamboo-like jade hand on the hand of the Emperor Liu Chan, and said softly in a slow voice, "Your Majesty is the lord of the world and is responsible for the resurgence of the Han Dynasty. You must be prudent and diligent. You cannot play like this out of the palace all the time."
Thoughts."
The words are delicate and soft, and the meaning of advice is expressed in the soft and soft tone.
This is not surprising.
The late emperor chose her as the crown princess not only because of her father Zhang Fei's meritorious service and loyalty, but also because of her orchid nature and her graceful conduct, which would benefit Liu Chan when he ruled the country in the future.
"I know."
Nodding gently, Emperor Liu Chan held it with his backhand, his eyes were extremely gentle, "It's just that the heat has been too strong recently, and I'm a little tired, so I just said this because of the feeling."
"Your Majesty is aware of it. But my eagerness makes me confused, and I overdo it."
The corners of her mouth curved, and Empress Zhang bowed her head respectfully, "As Your Majesty said, the heat has been very strong recently, and I have been quite irritable. Well, fortunately, Jiasi's birthday is approaching, and the Empress Dowager has allowed me to leave the palace and return to the province.
There is also something to look forward to.”
After finishing his words, before Emperor Liu Chan could speak, he quickly added, "If your majesty cannot bear the boredom in the palace, why not return home with me? I will first ask my brother to find some elegant fun to relieve your majesty's fatigue."
Hearing this, the Emperor Liu Chan was happy and nodded repeatedly, "For this reason, I think the Queen Mother will also allow me to leave the palace. Well, I will ask someone to prepare more gifts to avoid spending too much money on the Queen's family."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
Empress Zhang smiled and thanked the banquet, and then a hint of cunning appeared in her bright eyes, "However, Your Majesty, my intention is to let Master Pang find a reason to invite the Zheng family to the banquet, so that
Your Majesty will meet you in secret."
"So good! Hahaha..."
Suddenly, the Emperor Liu Chan raised his palms and smiled, "The Queen really knows me!"
However, not long after, his smile suddenly stopped and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Although the Queen's move is good, it is not a banquet in the home of a great master after all. Moreover, the Queen's family is a relative of the nobles, so the Zheng family may be worried about the reputation of being swayed by others.
I probably won’t accept the invitation from the great master.”
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I am not thinking carefully."
With her head nodding, Empress Zhang had a happy face and retreated to the next best thing, "Well, then I ask my brother to come forward and invite me."
Emperor Liu Chan still shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not right. Wen Rong and the Zheng family have never met, have no friendship, and they have different names..."
The words were half spoken and stopped suddenly.
He seemed to have some realization and looked at Queen Zhang with raised eyebrows.
But I saw Queen Zhang smiling and saying nothing, her eyes like a spring water, flowing gracefully and making ripples.
When Emperor Liu Chan saw this, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. He squeezed the catkins in his hands tightly, and his face also showed a few hints of doting, "I know the queen's intention!"
Um.........
Immediately, the Emperor Liu Chan lowered his head and thought for a moment. After making a slight nasal sound, he raised his head and said, "That's all. The queen can tell Wen Rong that if what he is thinking of can be approved by the prime minister, I will agree to it."
meaning."
"Concubine, on behalf of my brother, thank your majesty for your favor!"
"No need, no need."
.....................
The sun sets in the west, north of the capital city, Zhang Mansion.
In the martial arts academy, Zhang Bao, who was covered in sweat, waved away the handkerchief handed over by his attendants, wiped the sweat on his face with his hands, and asked an eunuch attendant, his voice surprised and eager, "Is the emperor really agreeing?
Please tell the whole story again!"
"promise!"
The eunuch attendant saluted and recounted what he had just said.
At the end, she added, "The queen also told Zhang Shizhong not to forget about your majesty."
"Hahaha~~~~~"
After hearing this, Zhang Bao raised his head and laughed, then nodded again and again, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you! Thank you! After you return to the palace, please reply to the Queen on my behalf, and I will definitely take care of your Majesty's affairs!"
"No, I will resign."
After watching the eunuch attendant leave, Zhang Bao was overjoyed and his face suddenly turned pale.
Quickly fetching water to purify the dust, he turned into a side hall.
This side hall is quite spacious, but the four walls are empty, except for a horse-drawn tree [Note 1] placed horizontally on the table in the middle.
The pole is wrapped layer by layer with fine hemp ropes, with no branches visible. The sharp blade, which is more than two feet long, still glows with a mute cold light without the illumination of light, which is intimidating.
Zhang Bao stared at it for a long time, bowed his head respectfully, and then took it off.
This is the horse tree left by his late father Zhang Fei.
People all over the world praise Guan and Zhang as "the enemy of ten thousand people", not only for their ability to command troops, but also for their bravery.
Zhang Bao's appearance and body are similar to those of his father. Although he was urged by his family to study when he was young, he prefers martial arts in his heart and aspires to be an "enemy of ten thousand people."
This is also something he entrusted to the Queen.
As the rebellion in Nanzhong was approaching, he wanted to seek approval from the emperor and the prime minister to be given a military post to command the troops and fight on the battlefield!
Continue the reputation of our fathers as "the enemy of ten thousand people"!
