Chapter 1 Crazy
Chang'an, the capital!
He Zhizhang rode a gentle and good horse and returned to He's mansion with a little anxious mood.
These days he is looking forward to retreating to the yamen almost every day, so he will return to He Mansion sooner.
The ancients attached great importance to going to work, but they were very reluctant to leave the yamen after get off work.
He Zhizhang retreated early as soon as he found an opportunity today.
When I returned to the mansion, I had not dismounted yet and shouted: "Brother Bo Gao, where are we going to drink today?"
Bo Gao is the name of the cursive saint Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu traveled around the world for more than ten years and traveled almost all over the country.
He visited the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland and drank all the wines from all over the world. His calligraphy became moving like ghosts and gods because of the mountains, rivers, cliffs, valleys, birds, beasts, insects, fish, grass, trees, flowers, sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, water, fire, thunder and thunder. He was unaware of the essence of cursive script.
If Zhang Xu was a famous calligrapher ten years ago, but now Zhang Xu has entered the realm of masters in calligraphy, especially in cursive script, he would be able to reach the top and overlook all the mountains.
But Zhang Xu is still Zhang Xu!
Even though he was very successful in calligraphy, he was still the crazy Zhang Dian.
They complement He Zhizhang's crazy guy, one crazy person and one crazy person, and they complement each other.
"Brother He, you're late! I've already drunk it!"
Zhang Xu walked out of the room swayingly, holding a wine pot in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, and said a little apologetically: "I accidentally got Brother He's floor dirty."
The name He was called by Pei Min first. Zhang Xu felt it was kind to him and called him along. It can be regarded as a personal title unique to the three of them.
He Zhizhang came up and complained, "I'm so anxious that I'm coming..." He looked into the house, but saw a line of cursive script written on the ground, and said with a look of distress: "Old brother, you're so. Next time you write it directly on the wall! It's embarrassing to write on the ground!" He said, and immediately instructed his servants not to clean the house in the short term.
After giving the order, he pulled Zhang Xu and said, "Go to the yard and let's continue drinking!"
Zhang Xu said: "We can't drink enough. Our little brother has sent a letter. Let's see what he said first. It's been a long time since we saw each other, and he is already out of reach."
He Zhizhang had often communicated with Pei Min. The tone of the letter was as good as before, without any resentment. He smiled and said, "Even if he climbed high, he was still our little brother. But the three of us wanted to get together and drink happily as before, but there was not much chance."
It is not a pity that I missed the days when Pei Min went to Beijing to take the exam and they ate, drink and have fun together.
"Let's go and see what he said in the letter?" He pulled Zhang Xu and walked towards the study.
He Zhizhang is still a little grateful to Pei Min.
Not only are they close relationships, but also help in the officialdom.
Although Pei Min did nothing, who in the court did not know his relationship with Pei Min?
The intrigue in the officialdom is the most terrifying. If you are not careful, you may be stabbed and excluded.
Because of Pei Min's relationship, He Zhizhang was no one to exclude him. He has been serving as the Minister of the Secretariat for six years and has been in charge of the chief examiner of the imperial examination three times. His resume and achievements are very beautiful. Not only is he held the title of Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but he has recently been awarded the title of Grand Secretary of the Li Zhengxiu Academy, and he is almost the best candidate for the next Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Compared to having relationships with superiors and subordinates in the officialdom, He Zhizhang prefers to linger in the city's major restaurants and mingle with drunkards. In the officialdom, he can rise step by step to his current status, which has to be said to be a miracle.
When I arrived at the study room, the table in the center of the study was filled with poems and articles sent from all over the place, all of which were hoped that He Zhizhang would like to evaluate it.
Since becoming a senior minister, He Zhizhang has rarely commented on articles and poems. He will only express his thoughts if he is particularly good at it.
In recent years, only Li Bai has received praise from Congratulations, and this has made Li Bai’s limelight unparalleled.
It is a mediocre person who is not jealous of others. Li Bai, a latecomer, not only became Pei Min's apprentice, but also He Zhizhang has to like this.
Not long after he first arrived in the capital, he had a great success in just over the past year. His fame and reputation in Chang'an even surpassed those old people who had been climbing for many years. Only Pei Min's two top scholars in civil and military back then could be compared with each other. How could he not be jealous of others?
When Li Yong's incident occurred, Li Bai's Fengping turned his mind. He never did not have these jealous people who were imprisoned and maliciously slandered them.
Pei Min's letter was placed in the center of the desk, the most conspicuous seat.
He Zhizhang received the letter and pointed to a pile of manuscripts on the desk and said, "Brother Bo Gao helps to see, Chang'an has many talents, and maybe there are some amazing works hidden in it."
Zhang Xu went to a manuscript on his desk and saw that the signature was Lu Qi in Lingchang, Huazhou. He opened it and read it. It was an article about filial piety. He just read the beginning and only had one thought in his mind. What mess is this?
He threw it casually and was about to read the second article, but suddenly he found that He Zhizhang's hand was trembling slightly, and a few thin papers showed signs of being unable to hold it. Thinking of the various news spreading around Chang'an a while ago, he was shocked and woke up with alcohol and said, "Isn't something wrong with Jingyuan? The injuries on his arm have not healed yet?"
He Zhizhang was unheard of, staring at the boss with his eyes, looking at him word by word, and a huge wave burst into his chest.
He Zhizhang read it for a quarter of an hour after reading it for only more than 500 words.
After reading it once, I was not satisfied, I watched it again for the second time and the third time...
Until he wanted to see it for the fourth time, he was snatched away by someone next to him.
Zhang Xu hung it aside for a long time and called out a few times. He Zhizhang ignored it and couldn't help it. He reached out to snatch it.
He Zhizhang then came back from the shock, and his eyes still couldn't hide the excitement, saying: "All the articles of eternal ages, articles of eternity, Jingyuan is no less than Zhuge Kongming's "Memorial of the Departure", Cao Zixiao's "Fulu of the Goddess of Luo River", Wang Youjun's "Preface to the Lanting Collection", and the profound intentions are even more important than them."
Zhang Xu only saw the nonsense at the beginning of the letter, and also talked about his injuries in the letter. He also listened to He Zhizhang's words, but he didn't read the content of the letter, so he turned to the article behind it.
Just looking at the beginning, Zhang Xu was attracted.
At the beginning of the article, I sighed directly. Should I go straight to the topic by the right path of seniority? Or the right path of truth? Is the truth important? Or is face important? Or is seniority equal to truth?
Then, around this topic, talk about the bad habit of respecting seniority and elders in the scholars.
Of course, the article repeatedly emphasizes the moral concept of respecting elders and respecting the elderly, and also means that respecting elders and respecting the elderly should not be blind.
Immediately afterwards, Confucius' "Not ashamed to ask questions" and the masters in "Teacher's Talk" took the lead, which took the lead in inheriting the top and bottom.
Especially the last sentence summarizes "There is no beginning or end in learning, and those who are good at learning will be teachers"...
