Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2388 Zhu Yun Breaks the Threshold
Shujing Palace.

Li Er Majesty sat down on the ground mat, holding a teacup in his hand, and sighed: "As a parent, I always hope that my children can grow up quickly, but after they grow up, they will start a family and start a business, and the time spent with their parents is too much." Fewer and fewer, empty and lost, really hard to bear."

Princess Changle, who was pouring tea with plain hands, pursed her lips and smiled, and gave her father a rather helpless look.

How old are you?
Actually acting like a child, playing a scene of bitterness...

Gently pushed the plate of cakes in front of Majesty Li Er, and said softly: "What is the father talking about? Now the father is full of children and grandchildren, and the branches are flourishing. Even though the brothers and sisters are all married, But there are still some younger brothers Cheng Huan, Si Zi, Xiao Yao, Ji Wang, Dai Wang, Zhao Wang, and Cao Wang in the palace, you will hurt their hearts by saying that."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Xiaoyao has reached the age of marriage in the new year. Although Sizi is weak, but he has cultivated well in the past two years, and he has to find a husband's house for him. But you are not young anymore. In the Taoist temple, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng is still and cold, and the father seems to be looking forward to the stars and the moon to see you coming back to the palace once in a while, what do you think you want?"

For this girl, he was heartbroken.

It's all about reconciling and leaving, why is the emperor's daughter worried about getting married?The children of the aristocratic families in Chang'an lined up to choose, but they didn't like any of them.That's all, and you have to go to the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain all day long. How can it be so easy to cultivate Taoism and become an immortal?

For the daughters of the family, they regard it as a hobby, and it is enough to practice occasionally to strengthen their bodies and cultivate their sentiments, but if they are addicted to it, how decent is it?
Using the power of the whole country by himself, he is also helpless in the way of becoming an immortal. He has to hide in the Jiucheng Palace to get a monk from Tianzhu, and he has to sneak around in alchemy and medicine. This road is really difficult...

Princess Changle lowered her eyebrows and said, "My daughter is not in a hurry. Wouldn't it be good to stay in the palace to accompany the emperor for a few years?"

His Majesty Li Er thought that was fine, but the key is how many days do you stay in the palace all year round?

Seeing his daughter's expression, His Majesty Li Er sighed speechlessly, knowing daughter is like a father, he knows Changle's soft outside and strong inside, once she made up her mind, no one can persuade her.

If Empress Wende is still alive, Changle can probably still hear a few words she said...

"Ugh!"

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and sighed, it is really a debt to his sons and daughters, and it is not over.

Wang De, the head servant, walked in lightly, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, His Highness King Jing is asking to see you."

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback. The emperor's younger brother would not enter the palace if he had nothing to do, but if he entered the palace, there must be something wrong.

"Do you know why?"

Wang Dedao: "According to His Royal Highness King Jing, he recently obtained a painting by Gu Changkang, and specially entered the palace to present it to His Majesty."

"Oh?"

When His Majesty Li Er heard this, his eyes lit up and he became energetic.

Regardless of the fact that he was a soldier for half his life, and now he is an emperor, but he is a young man of literature and art in his bones. He has a consistent interest in literature, especially to the point of obsession with famous calligraphy and painting.

Back then, in order to get the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" written by the "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi, as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he actually ordered the ministers to go to Shanyin County to steal the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" from a monk in a temple...

Since Gu Changkang was Gu Kaizhi, people at the time hailed him as the "sage of painting". Absolutely no worse than Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works, how can I sit still right now?Standing up hastily, she said to Princess Changle: "Come here as soon as you go for your father, and see what kind of treasure your Uncle Jing got!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Back in the Dragon Hall, I saw Li Yuanjing in ordinary clothes, holding a roll in his hand, looking around in the hall. His Majesty Li Er took three steps in parallel, stepped forward to stare at the roll in Li Yuanjing's hand, and said loudly: : "Is it really Gu Kaizhi's painting?"

Li Yuanjing smiled triumphantly, put the scroll on the table, took out a flower scroll from it, spread it out and placed it on the table, His Majesty Li Er had already come to see it.

This is a portrait, which is Gu Kaizhi's specialty.

I saw the person in the painting with wide robes and large sleeves, a high crown and a belt, standing under the pine tree with his hands behind his back, his clothes open, and his handwriting was tight and continuous, like spring silkworms spinning silk, or like spring clouds floating in the sky, flowing water flowing on the ground, all of which are natural, especially It is the eyes of the person in the painting, seemingly awake or sleeping, but between opening and closing, it reveals an open-minded and open-minded charm, which can be called the finishing touch, like a miracle!

"Good! Good! Good!"

His Majesty Li Er's eyes were shining, his fingers were slightly suspended in the air, and he subconsciously copied the lines of the characters on the painting, and said three "good" words in a row.

Seeing that His Majesty Li Er couldn't put it down, Li Yuanjing was proud of himself, so he said: "This "Portrait of Ruan Xian" was made when Gu Changkang was in his prime. At that time, his mind was mature, his skills were perfect, and he was at the peak. This portrait is making Ruan Xian That kind of pure, simple and unrestrained temperament is swayed to the fullest, among all Gu Changkang's works, it should be the best."

His Majesty Li Er nodded again and again: "Gu Changkang is best at portraits, and the people he draws are all vivid, so he is the best among them."

Li Yuanjing glanced at His Majesty Li Er secretly, sighed, and said with emotion: "Ruan Xian drinks with pigs, treats them equally, can also ride a donkey to chase maidservants, and is open-minded and crazy. He is really a role model in the hearts of my younger brothers. If a man can be like him Realm, this life is really not in vain!"

"Ok?"

His Majesty Li Er was fully immersed in the painting, he was stunned when he heard the words, and came back to his senses.

The majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty actually wants to follow Ruan Xian and become a bamboo forest sage who has no rules or restraints and can do whatever he wants?
It is said that the emperor has "golden rules", and you are not joking, but no matter which courtier is in front of the emperor, he still chooses every word carefully and dare not say a word of nonsense.

In other words, every sentence must have something to say...

What does Li Yuanjing want to express?
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were still on the painting, but he was already muttering in his heart.

When Ruan Xian was in mourning, he was still able to ride a donkey and steal a maidservant, and when he was having a banquet at home, he even allowed a pig to drink with him at the banquet... To every normal person, it seems unreasonable.

The reason why later generations respect him as the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" is precisely this kind of disposition that others cannot do. They think that the derogation or praise of the sages to the characters is to deduce the root and heart of their actions, so as to judge the talents and conduct of the characters. .Even if what he did was shocking, there is some reason for it.

So what is the reason for Ruan Xian?

This person's official career was not going well and he was a maverick. Emperor Wu of Jin thought that Ruan Xian was fond of wine and vain, so he didn't use him.Moreover, because he questioned Xunxu's rhythm, he was hated by him and demoted to the prefect of Shiping. However, this person did not feel depressed because of this. Instead, he enjoyed wandering in the mountains and rivers from then on.

Could it be that the intention of Li Yuanjing to send this painting is to say that all his previous actions were just human nature, and now he has realized his mistakes, and intends to travel freely in the mountains and forests, to be open-minded?
His Majesty Li Er twitched his chin, somewhat unexpected.

Li Yuanjing said again: "Ruan Xian has an open-minded temperament. If he stands at the top of the court, I'm afraid he will be unbearable with his character. It's better than Zhang Ziwen stealing a high position but doing nothing."

Zhang Ziwen was Zhang Yu, Marquis of Anchang in the Han Dynasty.

This talent is profound in learning and kind, and Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty came to the throne. Because he was the master of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, he bestowed the title of Marquis of Guannei and ascended the position of Zaifu.But this man is unparalleled in the world in learning, but he has achieved nothing as a prime minister. Ban Gu once commented on this man: "Confucian Zong occupies the position of prime minister, wears the clothes of Confucianism, and passes on the words of the ancient kings. Flattery and ridicule. He sees the rope with the traces of the ancients, and Wu Neng can do what he wants!" It means that this person has profound knowledge and can be praised by "Confucianism", but in fact he has no skills. rather than competent.

To paraphrase a latecomer's words, ranking above it is like a "clay-bodied pottery sculpture"...

Later, Zhu Yun, the order of Huaili, wrote a letter of remonstrance, accusing the courtiers of the corpses of vegetarian meals, and asked Zhang Yu, the Marquis of Anchang, to be executed to punish the rest.Emperor Cheng was furious and wanted to kill Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun clung to the railing of the main hall, admonishing loudly, and finally the railing was torn off.

Even deduced an allusion of "Zhu Yun breaks the threshold".

His Majesty Li Er straightened up and glanced at Li Yuanjing.

First Ruan Xian, who is talented and open-minded, and then Zhang Yu, who is clay-bodied and pottery. Do you want to be a seven sages in the bamboo forest who wander around the mountains and springs, or a submissive prime minister?

His Majesty Li Er was actually a little uncertain about Li Yuanjing's mind. It is said that he had always been deeply wary of Li Yuanjing, but he never thought that he could achieve any great things, but today's incident made him look at Li Yuanjing with admiration.

Ruan Xian retreated, Zhu Yun folded the threshold, and they actually started to play tricks.

Most importantly... what does this person mean?
