Chapter 305 The Father's Comments
The third master's work efficiency is extremely high. With the cooperation of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Shen Shi has already hung the two groups of [-] shortlisted works selected by Wang Shizhen and others in the Wenhua Palace one by one. , and then it was time for all the courtiers to make unanimous comments. Of course, there were more than [-] courtiers and the children of the Tian family's clan who were lucky enough to participate in the banquet, so it was impossible to rush in. , naturally it should be judged first by the senior officials from the first rank and above, and the rest will be judged in the hall according to their rank.

"My lords, the [-] pieces of each of the two groups of preliminary shortlists have been determined, and the holy handwriting is also included in them. All the characters are framed with names and taboos. I also ask you to evaluate them with a fair heart. Don't lose the meaning of fairness."

As the person in charge of the overall situation, the third master stood at the head of the officials without hesitation, bowed to everyone with a smile on his face, and announced the rules with a smile, but his eyes were intentionally or unintentionally Looking at a banner hanging in the middle hall on the left, he couldn't help but point to that banner at the end of his salute, obviously implying that the banner in the middle hall is where the old man's imperial brush is.

"Don't worry, third master, I'll find out later."

"Third brother, don't worry, I know what to expect."

"What the third brother said is."

……

Those who can stand in the palace at this moment are either the sons of the clan or the extremely noble courtiers. They are very familiar with the old man's imperial brush, even if the old man played with the regular script that was not often written in the past in an ingenious way in order to participate in the competition, but All the people are used to seeing the old man's calligraphy, even if the third master doesn't need to mention it, the big guy can recognize it. Seeing the third master's hint at this moment, they all burst into laughter.

"Well, let's stop gossip and let's start."

Since what should be hinted has already been hinted, the third master stopped talking nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, he announced the start of the review with pride. Amidst the roar of laughter, all the top courtiers dispersed in twos and threes Go, around a piece of work to make a serious comment.

Most of the courtiers gathered near the old man's banner in the central hall, but Hong Qing was not in a hurry to join in the excitement, so he casually walked aside. When he walked like this, the old fifteen brothers naturally followed , the three of them naturally formed a small group, and in the world of adults, it inevitably seemed a bit intrusive. Concerned about the movements of Hongqing and others.

"Hey, Brother Qing, aren't these your two banners? Well, that bastard kid's shit poem was also included in the shortlist. What did Wang Shizhen do? Such a crappy thing is an eyesore."

The old man's banner was hung on the side of the courtiers, and the position of the clan group was naturally less crowded. With a wide view, the sharp-eyed Old Sixteen was the first to discover Hong Qing's work. Hanging on Hong Qing's side, she couldn't help cursing again.

"Sixteen Uncle Mo said so, this picture is not bad, although it is a little immature, but the character is passable, well, the poem is also impressive, and it deserves its name to be in the top [-]."

Hongqing had never read Hongli's poems in detail before, but when she heard the old sixteen talk about it, she immediately followed his fingers and looked over. It's as unbearable as what the old sixteen said, but it's unique, and there are really some bright spots in it. With Hongqing's heart, she doesn't bother to do things like talking nonsense with her eyes open, so she nodded and gave a pertinent answer. evaluate.

"Hmph, I can't see the good thing about it? It's purely a ghost drawing, and it's the same grade as my master."

The old sixteen is a kind of duck who is still hard-headed. With a curl of his lips, he unceremoniously pulled Hongli's masterpiece to the same level as his own.

"Pfft!"

As soon as Old Sixteen said such words, Old Fifteen, who had never spoken, was so suffocated that he couldn't help laughing out loud. As for Hong Qing, although she didn't make a sound, she shook her head and smiled wryly...

"The Emperor is here!"

The evaluation is not cumbersome, but it takes a lot of time. After more than ten rounds, the time has come to the end of Shen Shi, and the sun has already set to the west. As a result, the top-ranking courtiers gathered in the hall are still waiting. While arguing endlessly about the final two groups of three works each, they heard a shrill shout from the apse, and everyone hurried back to their places, waiting breathlessly for the arrival of the old man.

"Come on and see Your Majesty!"

With the sound of footsteps, the old man, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and court ladies, slowly turned out from the apse. The prince followed closely behind. When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to be negligent, and they all knelt down on the ground , each paying their respects incessantly.

"Forget it, let's all be flat."

The old man was obviously in a good mood, and his voice was exceptionally warm.

"Thank you, Lord Long, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The old man is in a good mood, and everyone is happy too, but happiness is happiness, but Xie En is absolutely indispensable.

"Third brother, I heard that the top three of the two groups have been determined before, so I will present it here, and let me see that they are all very extravagant characters."

After the courtiers finished their ceremony, the old man didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"Returning to Huang Ama, after all the ministers and workers unanimously recommended, there are already definite numbers for the top three in the two groups, but the names and secrets have not been revealed yet. I also ask Huang Mafa to express his actions."

The third master has been controlling the overall situation well today, and he is naturally in a good mood. Hearing the old man's roll call at this moment, he flashed out excitedly and replied loudly.

"Well, then it's good to present it."

The old man not only has extraordinary attainments in calligraphy, but also has outstanding appreciation ability. Hearing what the third master said at this moment, he naturally wouldn't have any other thoughts. He waved his hand and opened his mouth with great interest.

"twitter!"

After the old man's order was made, the third master dared not be negligent, so he respectfully agreed, and with a wave of his hand, several young eunuchs with their own attendants walked up to the front door with six works on silver plates, and All six works were placed on the dragon case, and the small paper with names and taboos was quickly torn off, and then they all bowed and retreated to the side.

"Well, the third child's handwriting has improved again. This clan group deserves to be number one, and the fourth child's handwriting is also good. Unfortunately, it's a bit too rigid, not soft, and the rolling is too hard. Although it is powerful, it's a pity that it's mellow. However, Lao Ba's handwriting has improved a lot, and this Yan Ti regular script is indeed impressive, um, good, very good."

The old man looked at the works of the clan group with great interest, and commented on the three works one by one, but it sounded like he was commenting on the order of the road to the succession. Maybe the old man just said it carelessly, but the following The courtiers, however, were obviously interested in the listener, and for a while, everyone's faces couldn't help but become a little weird.

"Huang Ama's reputation is too high. Compared with Huang Ama, this son-in-law's ghost drawing talisman is still far behind."

As the person in charge of the overall situation, the third master already knew that he was ranked first in the clan group, but he really didn't recognize who the owner of the next two works was. Fourth Master and Eighth Master were very beautiful in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show too much in front of the old man, so they just bowed down and humbled themselves.

"Forget it, there's no need to say sweet words, I'll see how the courtiers are organized."

The old man is quite satisfied with the humble attitude of the third master, but he didn't say any more, he smiled and waved his hand, and then put the topic aside, turned his face and looked at the three people on the left With just one sweep of the silver tray, he couldn't help but smiled and shook his head and said: "You will definitely please me, hey, He Zhuo's running script is a masterpiece today, and this article is even better, compared to Wang Shihong's official script." It is indeed superior, but as for my nave, although it has some achievements, but compared with the two, it is far behind, it is too much, too much to really rank first."

"Huang Ama Mingjian, since I got your calligraphy from Qianqing Palace, I have never shown it to others. It has been mounted and named according to the rules and mixed into more than [-] masterpieces. First, Lord Wang and other three chief judges unanimously recommended it. All the ministers and workers unanimously praise you, and you deserve to be ranked first.”

The old man is humble and humble, but he admits that his calligraphy is not as good as others. Even though He and Wang are recognized as two of the four masters of calligraphy in this world, with the IQ of the third master, he can see the mystery of it. He hurriedly spoke up and explained.

"Oh? Hahaha..., that's all, that's all, I won't participate in this big competition, um, He Zhuo will be the first, Wang Shihong will be the second, and as for the third, I will choose myself."

Hearing what the third master said, even though he knew that there was something wrong with it, the old man still laughed happily, but he was embarrassed to really think that his own calligraphy was the best in the world. After laughing, he also He picked himself out of the competition lightly, first decided on the first and second candidates, then got up, walked down the front gate slowly, and walked around the hall, admiring the remaining nominees with great interest From time to time, he also made some comments on the works that were pleasing to the eye. All the officials followed closely behind the old man. Whatever the old man said, the big guys were all enthusiastically applauding, and there were endless laughter in the hall. It can be said to be a lot of fun.

"what?"

After the old man finished transferring the works of the courtiers group, he turned to the clan group with unsatisfied interest, still admiring and commenting, when he came to the works of Hong Qing and Hongli hanging side by side, the old man suddenly His eyes lit up, and he let out a little surprise, but he was not in a hurry to comment, but pointed to Hong Qing's cursive script, turned around and asked the third master: "Who made this?"

"Returning to Huang Ama's words, there is a clue, and I don't know whose masterpiece it is."

Although the third master has never seen Hong Qing splashing ink with his own eyes, but as the person in charge of the overall situation, he is very well informed. He already knew that this banner was written by Hong Qing, but he didn't intend to reveal it, but He replied with a look of embarrassment.

"Well, take it down, and this one too."

Hearing what the third master said, the old man didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and waved his hands to make an order. The little eunuchs who were waiting by their side were busy fetching poles, took down the two works together, and delivered them to the In front of the old man.
