Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 247 Death of the King of East China Sea

"I have already read this calligraphy as it was sent here. Let's not say much about Chen Zhi's chess skills. Just speaking of his calligraphy, it is unmatched by others. I'm afraid there are only a few people in the world who can compare with it. Number of people."

Director Wang said, picking up the calligraphy again to taste it, and nodded slightly, as if confirming his judgment.

Wang Leng and Wang Shu looked at each other, not expecting that their family's backbone would say such a thing.

You know, Director Wang himself is very good at calligraphy, and his nephews were all good at calligraphy under his influence. In the original history, his sons were also excellent at calligraphy.Moreover, one of his nephews will become a calligraphy saint who will be famous throughout the ages and shock the past and present in the future.

Such a person actually said that Chen Zhi's calligraphy was almost divine.

What is the concept of divine product?
That is calligraphy that is extremely exquisite. It is almost the limit that a person can achieve through practice and talent. Often when a word is written, one will reach a state that is close to Tao. Through a word, one can feel the charm and understand Got a lot of insights.

Throughout the ages, there are only a handful of calligraphers who can achieve such achievements, but each of them will leave a name for future generations.

Leaving a name in history is a very big temptation for scholars. Many people spend their whole lives, but in the end all they want is to leave a name for future generations. But calligraphers can do this with one piece of work. It is in itself a recognition of calligraphy attainments.

Among the Wang family, Director Wang was once famous for his calligraphy. In the past two years, he became famous gradually, and many princes and high-ranking officials inquired and conquered one after another. Only then did the name of calligraphy be surpassed. However, the people of the Wang family How can we forget?
Wang Shu couldn't help but ask: "Is Mr. Chen's calligraphy more advanced than your uncle?"

Director Wang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Looking at the four words alone, at least two of them are not as good as mine..." He pointed at the two words "A and B".

Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but then she heard Director Wang say: "But the remaining two words can keep pace with me."

After hearing this, Wang Leng and Wang Shu both looked surprised, and their expressions immediately changed drastically.

"It seems that you have understood it," Director Wang sighed, shook his head and sighed, "These four words were just written by Chen Zhi after reading what you wrote. He just took a glance at it. Not only has he grasped the four essences, but he has also written it casually. It is either wonderful or capable, or slightly inferior to my running script, or even on par. What is the concept of this?"

After a pause, he put down the calligraphy and said with a smile: "If Chen Zhi had written calligraphy that he was good at, it would be a different situation. With such ability, it is not surprising that his calligraphy is close to the divine. , otherwise he would not be able to write such imitations, but there is a faint flavor of thorough understanding in his words, like an old man who has experienced the changes of life and death for a long time, so he is not afraid of failure. It's really weird for his age."

Hearing this, Wang Shu's heart moved. He knew that although a person who has reached a certain level of calligraphy can't say that seeing characters is like seeing people, but combined with the writer's environment, rumors, and the characteristics of the characters written, he can still read them. Saw a lot of information.

She was still thinking, and Wang Leng shook his head and said: "Brother, what you said is wrong. I think Chen Zhi is still afraid. I invited him to play chess with the little prince of the Huns and promised him a huge profit. In the end, this person was still I don’t want to, but when Jiang Yi and others heard that the Huns were being aggressive, they took the initiative to fight without saying anything, but they were just a hair’s breadth away and failed to suppress the ferocious flames of the Huns.”

"I've heard about this too," Director Wang nodded and said with a little regret, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, when Jiang Jun and others came, the Hun Prince was still in Linyi. When Chen Zhi arrived, The little prince has left, now we are going to ask Chen Zhi to take action and challenge Xingtan in advance, so the situation will be different."

"In the final analysis, Chen Zhi is either afraid of losing the chess game and losing his reputation, or he is not aware of the danger of barbarians." Wang Leng shook his head slightly, revealing some opinions about Chen Zhi in his words.

Director Wang was about to say more, but when he glanced at Wang Shu from the corner of his eye, his heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Shu, I think you seem to be confident. Is there anything you want to say?"

Wang Shu heard this, smiled slightly, and then said: "Uncle, Mr. Chen actually did not refuse."

"Did you refuse?" Director Wang was taken aback when he heard this.

Wang Leng frowned and said, "Xiao Shu, why are you confused? Chen Zhi made it clear that he was invited by the Zuo family and was unwilling to accept the invitation. Why didn't he refuse?"

When Director Wang heard this, he looked deep in thought, and then soon looked astonished.

Wang Shu smiled and said: "It seems that uncle has understood..." As she said that, she looked at Wang Leng and continued: "Uncle, please think carefully about what Mr. Chen just said?"

"What did you say?" Wang Leng saw the expressions of the two people in front of him and was muttering in his heart. Recalling the past, he had a vague feeling, but he couldn't catch the glimmer of light.

Seeing this, Wang Shu simply said directly: "Master Chen said that he was invited by the Zuo family and would not break his promise to get rich, but what about the Zuo family? Strictly speaking, wasn't the Zuo family invited by my Wang family?"

"What do you mean?" A flash of light flashed in Wang Leng's mind, "Go and negotiate with the Zuo family so that Chen Zhi can come out to play chess?"

"That's right!" Wang Shu nodded, "From Mr. Chen's words, I can tell that he is a man who places great emphasis on promises. Since he promised the Zuo family, he will definitely not break the promise easily. The Wang family cannot force anyone to break the promise either. Nuo, in that case, why not find the Zuo family? Wouldn’t this be the best of both worlds?”

When Director Wang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded silently.

Wang Leng still frowned and thought for a while before saying: "In this case, the news about my Wang family's bet will be known to the Zuo family? If this spreads, it will be difficult to control. The previous choice The reason for revealing it to Chen Zhi is because not many people know the news, and even within our Wang family, there are only a limited number of people who know it. Once the news is leaked, they will know it very quickly, but the Zuo family is an outsider after all..."

As he spoke, he looked towards Director Wang and said, "Brother, among the people we are going to invite this time, Chen Zhi has the least record. He is the only one who broke the tie. Although I respect him as a person and calligraphy, I don't think so. It is really unwise to disclose the news to the Zuo family."

Wang Shu whispered from the side: "You can choose a reason, and there is no need to reveal the truth."

Wang Leng immediately shook his head and said: "If you cover up such things with lies, it will only be counterproductive. Besides, when we, the Wang family, do things, we either don't do them. Since we have to do it, we shouldn't hide our heads and show our tails." After hearing what he said, Wang Shu showed a helpless look. , lowered her head and said nothing. She was just a junior. Because of her intelligence, she was valued by Director Wang and others. Giving advice was already the limit. Any more would be beyond the limit.

Suddenly, the room became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Director Wang, waiting for his decision.

Director Wang did not speak immediately, but asked: "Who is in charge of the Zuo family in the city?"

Wang Shu replied: "It's Zuo Yuan, the master of the library."

Director Wang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Zuo Yuan is a humble gentleman, and he can keep his promise. In this case, we might as well let someone negotiate with him. If we can make it work, please ask Mr. Chen to help us."

He has made a decision and no one else can question it.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then a servant came in and handed over a note.

Director Wang took the note and looked at it. His expression suddenly changed a little, and then he shook his head.

Wang Leng asked: "Brother, is there any news from the court?"

Director Wang nodded and said: "The King of Donghai committed suicide by hanging a beam in Jinyong City. The King of Guanghan became the Grand Master and entered the Shangshutai, and made Wuxiang Hou the Grand Sima. However, Wuxiang Hou refused repeatedly and did not accept the appointment."

"King of East China Sea? Dead?"

Wang Leng almost didn't pay much attention to what happened next. This piece of information just flashed through his mind.

He was in Langya, so he was naturally aware of the power of the King of the East China Sea. He used to hold the posts of Grand Master, Grand Sima, etc., and he had all the power in the government. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and such a figure lost power. That was it. Now he might as well just died!

"It's definitely not suicide!"

After being surprised, Wang Leng spoke in a positive tone.

Director Wang shook his head and said: "There is no need to say more. I will return to the court in five days so that I can find out the reason. Remember, don't get involved and don't contact King Langya. Do you know that the King of Guanghan will be here soon?" I just contacted everyone, what did you do?"

"What's going on?" Wang Leng felt inexplicably uneasy.

Director Wang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let the king of Hejian return to his fiefdom!"

Wang Leng and Wang Shu suddenly took a breath of cold air.

"The King of Hejian...the deposed prince was released? What happened in the court recently?"

"No matter what happened, it must be related to the Marquis of Wuxiang." The indifferent look on Director Wang's face disappeared. "The King of Donghai was originally the backstage of the Marquis of Wuxiang. However, when he suddenly returned to the court, he was the King of Donghai. He first lost power and then lost his life. Not only is he, the Marquis of Wuxiang, safe and sound, but he also has the energy to resign from his position as Grand Sima. If you say that there is no trick on his part behind this, I don't believe it at all."

Wang Leng's eyes widened immediately, and he asked with some uncertainty: "What does brother mean?"

Director Wang shook his head and said: "I don't mean anything. I will talk about other things when I come back from the court. In fact, what I am most worried about is the situation in the court."

Wang Leng was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned gloomy, obviously thinking of something.

Wang Shu, however, looked puzzled. She wanted to ask but was concerned about the atmosphere and did not dare to speak casually.

Fortunately, Director Wang quickly said: "What I am most worried about is the military situation in the north. No matter how successful Wu Xianghou is in the court, without him in the north, the outcome of the war against the Huns is really worrying. "

As soon as he said this, Wang Shudeng turned pale and said uncertainly: "The imperial court has raised tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the Huns are not affected by ringworm and scabies. Is there any surprise?"

Director Wang shook his head and said nothing, and after a while he said: "Let someone write a letter to Chu Zhong, asking him to do more business in Yangzhou and collect more news from the north and the south!"

Chu Zhong, the character of Wang Dun, is now in charge of Yangzhou.
