Shu Chen

Chapter 38
In the palace, forbidden.

The emperor Liu Chan held the fine silk that copied the "Inscription of the Shabby Room" in his hand, Empress Zhang stood beside him, and the two carefully compared the bamboo slips on the imperial case.

The bamboo slips were written by the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.

The late emperor Liu Bei always came to the prime minister elegantly, and after setting up Shu, he also asked the prime minister to choose books for his heir Liu Chan.

Zhuge Liang was entrusted to copy the books "Six Tao", "Guanzi", "Shen" and "Han" for him.

Moreover, each book uses a different calligraphy.

Well, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang is fond of calligraphy.

When he was working in Nanyang, Jingzhou, he had painstakingly searched for the traces of famous masters to learn, and his attainments were quite high.

Proficient in a variety of calligraphy, especially good at seal script, eight points (one of the official script) and cursive script.

The good intention of transcribing with different calligraphy is to inspire the emperor Liu Chan's Yaxing about the matter of writing and ink, so that he can choose a type of calligraphy and study it by himself.

The son of the emperor Liu Chan, with a sincere temperament, naturally did not dare to live up to the Prime Minister's heart.

At that time, memorials and case slips were all written in official script, so I chose eight points and learned them.And because I have nothing to do now, I am becoming more and more obsessed, and I often practice calligraphy in the afternoon, so I should relieve my fatigue.

Today, after being reminded by Queen Zhang, I discovered that the words written by Zheng Jiazi were very different from the Prime Minister's storytelling.

Its characters are sparse and smooth, fine and vigorous; the handwriting is thin, but it does not lose its flesh; after careful scrutiny, the graceful graceful appearance can be vaguely seen, which adds a bit of elegance.In terms of the verve of brushwork, it can be regarded as rigid but not obtrusive, majestic but agile.

"It's amazing! In the early years of the Queen's family, there were a lot of books copied from various books, and the handwriting of each book was different. Have you ever seen this calligraphy?"

The emperor, Liu Chan, sipped for a while, then asked with his head turned and raised his eyebrows.

"Never."

The head shook slightly, and Queen Zhang replied with a smile.

Immediately, he took the fine silk, and his bright eyes looked up and said, "Perhaps the concubine doesn't remember it. Your Majesty, why don't you have the concubine send someone to send this fine silk home, and let the brothers compare them one by one before making a conclusion? "

"No need."

With a wave of his hand, the emperor Liu Shan took a few seats on his own, "There is no need to spend a lot of time on such a trivial matter."

When the words were finished, he felt lost, "Compared to calligraphy, I am a little more curious about Zheng Jiazi. According to Pang Jushi, his man is handsome, arrogant, and his words are quite hilarious, which makes people close. Unfortunately, I am confined in this palace, No chance to meet."

Seeing this, Queen Zhang's long eyebrows moved slightly, and she smiled beautifully.

He walked straight up, sat on the side, put his hands like bamboo shoots and jade on the hands of the emperor Liu Chan, and said softly, "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, and shoulders the responsibility of rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty. thoughts."

Jin Yan whispers, in the crisp and soft, the meaning of persuasion is fully explained.

This is not surprising.

In those days, the late emperor chose her as the crown prince not only because of her father Zhang Fei's merits and loyalty, but also because of her blue-natured heart and graceful behavior, which would benefit Liu Chan in the future.

"I know."

Nodding lightly, the emperor Liu Shan held his backhand, his eyes were very gentle, "It's just that the heat has been too hot recently, and I'm a little bored, so I only made this statement when I felt it."

"Your Majesty knows it. It's the concubine's desire to be chaotic, but overcorrection."

The corners of her mouth curved, and Empress Zhang bowed her head respectfully, "Just as Your Majesty said, the heat has been so hot recently, and the concubine is quite irritable. Well, fortunately, Jiaci's birthday is approaching, and the Empress Dowager has allowed the concubine to leave the palace and return to the province. There is also hope.”

After the words fell, before the emperor Liu Chan could speak, he added a sentence, "If your majesty is impatient with the boredom in the palace, it is better to go with your concubine.

Hearing this, the emperor Liu Chan raised his eyebrows with joy and nodded again and again, "For this reason, the Queen Mother will also allow me to leave the palace. Well, I will ask for more gifts to prevent the Queen's family from spending too much."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being sympathetic."

Empress Zhang smiled at a banquet and expressed her thanks, and then a hint of cunning poured out of her bright eyes, "However, Your Majesty, the concubine's intention is to ask Master Pang Jushi to find a reason to invite the Zheng family son to come to the banquet, let him See you in the dark, Your Majesty."

"So good! Hahaha."

Immediately, the emperor Liu Chan slapped his palms and smiled, "The queen really knows me!"

However, after a while, his smile stopped abruptly again, and his eyebrows were lightly raised, "Although the Queen's move is good, it is not a banquet in the house of the great master after all. Besides, the Queen's family is a noble family, and the Zheng family may be in the name of Yu Zeng's popularity. I'm afraid I won't be invited by the great master."

"What Your Majesty said is very true, because the concubine was not thinking well."

The head nodded frequently, and Empress Zhang was full of spring breeze, and she took the next step, "Well, then I ask my brother to come forward and invite him."

The emperor Liu Shan still shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Wen Rong and the Zheng family have never met, have no friendship, and have different agency."

The words were half-speaking, and they stopped suddenly.

And it seemed that he had realized something in his heart, and raised his eyebrows to look at Empress Zhang.

However, seeing Empress Zhang smiling without saying a word, her eyes were like a pool of spring water, flowing gracefully, rippling and rippling.

When the emperor Liu Chan saw it, he couldn't help but swayed in his heart. He squeezed the soft weed in his hand, and a few strands of doting appeared on his face, "I know what the queen means!"

Um.
Immediately, the emperor Liu Shan lowered his head for a while, and after a slight nasal sound, he raised his head and said, "That's it. The queen can pass on Wen Rong, if he can get the approval of the prime minister, I will not object. meaning."

"Concubine, on behalf of my brother, thank your Majesty for your favor!"

"No, no need."

The sun sets in the west, north of the capital city, Zhang House.

In the Yanwu Academy, Zhang Bao, soaked in sweat, waved away the towel handed over by his squire, wiped the sweat on his face with his hands, and asked a eunuch attendant, his voice was pleasantly surprised and eager, "Is the emperor really ready? You will tell the whole story again!"

"promise!"

The eunuch attendant saluted and repeated what he had just said.

At the end, he added an extra sentence, "The queen also asked Zhang Shizhong not to forget about your majesty."

"Hahaha~~~~~"

After listening to Zhang Bao, he raised his head and laughed, and then nodded again and again, like a bell, "It's hard work! It's hard work! After you return to the palace, reply to the queen on my behalf, and I will definitely handle your majesty's affairs!"

"No, the subordinate retire."

Zhang Bao, who was overjoyed after seeing the eunuch attendant leave, suddenly restrained his expression.

Quickly fetching water and cleaning dust, he turned into a side hall.

This side hall is quite spacious, but the walls are empty, except for a horse lance on the center of the table.

The lances are wrapped in layers of fine hemp ropes, and there is not even a single fork. The two-foot-plus edge still glows with a dull and cold glow in the absence of light, which is daunting.

Zhang Bao watched for a while, then bowed his head respectfully and then took it down.

This is the horse lance left by his late father Zhang Fei.

The world praised Guan Zhang as "the enemy of ten thousand people", not only referring to his ability to command troops, but also to praise his bravery.

Zhang Bao's appearance and body are similar to his father's. Although he was urged to study by his family when he was young, he is more fond of martial arts in his heart, and even more admires being an "enemy of ten thousand people".

This is also what he entrusted to the queen.

The rebellion against Nanzhong is approaching. He wants to obtain the consent of the emperor and the prime minister to change the military post to command the army and fight on the battlefield!

Continue the father's reputation as "the enemy of ten thousand people"!
