Shu Chen

Chapter 37
The palace of Shu Han is not so majestic.

Because of its predecessor, it was the state shepherd's mansion built by Liu Yan and restored by Liu Zhang.

Back then, when the First Lord Liu Bei settled down on Shu, he settled down on his own, and his mansion did not increase.When he became the king of Hanzhong, he did not dare to go beyond arrogance and build a temple, build a chariot, or tell the sky with a mysterious peony.

Later, the emperor Liu Shan ascended the throne, the prime minister Zhuge Liang managed affairs, and Shang Qingjian rejected extravagance.

On the grounds that Yizhou was exhausted, the palace only added Yingtianmen two-way three-way gates in the external department to show the emperor's majesty.

Therefore, the daily life of the emperor Liu Chan is very boring.

Although there is no need to worry about national affairs, but all day long in this palace, what I see, hear and enjoy is boring day after day.

Fortunately, the prime minister arranged a lot of valet for him, and most of them were similar in age to meritorious deeds or after the deceased ancestors, so that he could talk about interesting things, or think that the eyes and ears, on behalf of the interests of the palace to return to relieve fatigue.

For example, after the tea and dinner of the masters in the capital that day, Zheng Pu, who was praised by the prime minister and made famous by Qiao Zhou, sent an anecdote to him, so he sent Pang Hong, a young companion, to go out to follow.

Today, even more happy.

At the flowing water pavilion in the palace, the emperor Liu Chan set up a small banquet for his attendants.

Such scenes are daily life in the palace.

State affairs are not busy, and these attendants and audiences are also leisurely. In addition to reading books and reading the papers and chapters annotated by the Prime Minister, it is also normal to accompany the emperor to relieve fatigue.

There are not many people who have banquets, only four people, all of whom are close friends of the emperor.

Two of the attendants were Guan Xing and Zhang Bao; two of the attendants were Huo Yi and Pang Hong.

Well, there is a reason why Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, who have been in the weak crown for a while, are few and high.

Zhang Bao was the eldest son of Zhang Fei, the general of the chariot and cavalry.

Zhang Fei had two sons and two daughters, Zhang Bao was born by his wife, and the rest of the children were born by the Xiahou clan.The eldest daughter was first accepted as the crown prince, and the later son Liu Shan ascended the throne and became the queen.

Therefore, the imperial court recorded Zhang Fei's old Xun and Bao as a relative, and specially promoted him to be a servant, and took care of the emperor in the prohibition of entry and exit.

Similar to Guan Xing, he was the second son of former general Guan Yu.

Guan Xing was well-known for his talent and learning at a young age, and was always favored by the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.

After the emperor Liu Shan was established, the imperial court recorded the merits of his father's generation and his eldest brother Guan Ping's heroic death to the country, and ordered the successor, the Marquis of Han Shouting, to be promoted to the middle servant, and to serve the emperor with Zhang Bao.

It is also a continuation of the story of the late lord Liu Bei, Guan Zhang and his followers, standing behind him all day long.

Today's banquet does not prejudge state affairs, but observes the text.

The matter of Zheng Pu chasing off the guests has become a storm all over the city.When the emperor Liu Chan heard that Pang Hong happened to be at the meeting and was in the banquet, he couldn't help but become interested.

When Pang Hong recounted "Inscription of the Shabby Room", he couldn't help but appreciate the elegant and broad-mindedness implied by the parallel prose.

It was also learned that Pang Hong actually copied the text and returned, so he asked him to return home to fetch it, and invited his attendants to a banquet on the grounds of rewarding the text.

People naturally dare not obey.

However, when Pang Hong took it and presented it to him, the emperor Liu Shanfu was displeased when he saw it.

Because of the parallel prose "Inscription of the Shabby Room", it was actually transcribed on fine silk.

Immediately, he frowned and sighed, "Master, Yizhou is exhausted today, and the expenses in my palace and Xiangfu's mansion are simple and simple, but the minister is so extravagant that he uses fine silk to record the evil? Besides, Wen is a poor room, It was written on silk scarves, which is evil? Which is extravagant?"

Pang Hong panicked for a while, and hurriedly pleaded guilty before explaining the reason.

It turned out that when he asked to transcribe the parallel prose and returned, Zheng Pu did not leave his hand and wrote it himself.

However, his home was newly built, and there were no extra bamboo slips to record.

Seeing this, Liu Yin, who was with the banquet, asked Hu Cong to fetch it from the other courtyard where he lived.Liu Yin, a tyrannical man in the family who has a heart to show his affection, naturally took something extravagant.

"It turns out that I have misunderstood the giant teacher."

Hehehe, the emperor Liu Chan took the fine silk, spread it along the table, and sipped it carefully.

After a little, he raised his head and said in surprise, "This Zheng Jiazi's literary talent is really outstanding! But I don't know, since he talks about indifference as elegant in the text, why doesn't he show his humility and calm down Chen Xuan's criticism of Cao Lang, but force him to order Chasing the ears?"

After saying that, he motioned everyone to come forward to get the fine silk and circulate it, with a novel look on his face, and he was very excited, "You wait and see it, think about it, and then try to explain it for me."

Uh.
The order of the Son of Heaven, seriously.
Well, it's really elegant.

The crowd did not dare to neglect, and they all said they were in command.

After it was circulated one after another, Zhang Bao, the older waiter, was watched by everyone.

The meaning is obvious, let him answer the question of the emperor first.

This is also the norm. Whenever the emperor asks about literary and elegant tastes, everyone will ask Zhang Bao to answer.

Because his father Zhang Fei loved to respect gentlemen and admire literature, he encouraged him to read a lot since he was a child.Later, Zhang Fei was scorned by the famous scholar Liu Ba as a soldier, and he was disdainful of his words, and even Zhuge Liang couldn't deal with it.Said: "A man who lives in the world should be a hero from all over the world. How can he communicate with soldiers?"

Since then, Zhang Bao has been supervised by his family even more, and his enthusiasm has made some Confucian scholars with rich heads and poor scriptures feel ashamed.

Although everyone is familiar with the hundreds of schools of thought, if only in terms of literary talent, Zhang Bao should be the leader.

Zhang Bao seemed to be accustomed to this, and after thinking for a while, he bowed first and then said, "Your Majesty, this minister has some thoughts. If you dare, please try to say it first."

The emperor Liu Chan stretched out his hand to help, "A small banquet is a pleasure, you don't need to be restrained by too much courtesy, just say what you say."

"only!"

Taking orders in a loud voice, Zhang Bao eloquently said, "Your Majesty, this minister secretly thought that Zheng Jiazi made the "Inscription of the Shabby Room", and the Shabby Room does not refer to the small house in Chengdu, but the Sangyuan Er of the Zhengjia Sangyuan in Shifang! Because Zheng Jiazi has already gone to office, and the text contains 'No Silk Bamboo'. The chaotic ears, the undocumented and the labor shape, are not familiar; however, they are familiar with the seclusion of their ancestors. The minister infers from this that the strong temperament of the Zheng family has nothing to do with the elegance in the text."

"Wonderful!"

After listening to it, the emperor Liu Chan slapped his palms in praise, and also raised a cup to invite, "Wen Rong's words should be thrown into the inside, and it should be a big white! All ministers, drink it!"

"drink."

After drinking, the monarch and his ministers put aside the matter and continued to feast.

After a while, they each dispersed.

After all, the court was in an eventful autumn, and the small drink in the palace was caused by Yaxing; if it was a big drink, the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang heard about it, and he would definitely warn the emperor.

These four people will be even worse, and they will be ordered to blame.

The Son of Heaven, Liu Chan, has always been known for his generosity.

Rarely let these young and close people be innocently blamed.

Moreover, he and Empress Zhang, Phoenix Yu Fei, got a novel thing, and they also eagerly returned to the ban and shared the reward.

It's just that when he entered with the fine silk, Empress Zhang's interest was not in the parallel writing, but inexplicable, "Your Majesty, look at the calligraphy written by Zheng Jiazi, the calligraphy seems to have never been seen before."

"what?"

Hearing this, the emperor Liu Shan was also surprised.

When I picked up the fine silk and looked at it again, I couldn't help but muttered to myself, "My father is good at calligraphy, and I have taught me. However, I have never seen this calligraphy."

After saying that, he lowered his head and frowned in thought.

Immediately, with burning eyes, he turned his head to look outside the palace.
