Shen Junliang's proposal is actually a bit reckless.

A trivial matter such as writing an epitaph is the task of the Writings Bureau, a subordinate organ of Lintai, and even the author Lang Li Qiao, if he hadn't seen Liu Zhiji's writing of this article flowing and full of literary brilliance, he probably wouldn't have thought of making a move, and casually arranged for the subordinate officials in the bureau to do it.

The status of the young king is noble, and the official residence is the young eunuch of Lintai, it's not that he can't make a move, but Dugu Qingyun's weight is still a little insufficient.

The second is the age of the young king here, although there is already a "Vientiane" song in front, which was greatly appreciated by the emperor and praised by hundreds of officials, but there are still many people who still have doubts about whether this part is written by the young king. Although there are also works circulating after the young king, they are not in the style of Athens, and there are new ideas, but they are not amazing.

Epitaphs are the real coffin-covering essay, a real applied style, and its solemnity and formality are far from being comparable to the difficulty of writing. Without years of calligraphy, it is difficult to develop a good pen foundation.

Rao is Li Qiao, who has always been quite supportive of the young king, was suddenly stunned after hearing Shen Junliang's words, and looked at the young king with some concern.

Shen Junliang had this proposal, and he also made a trade-off in his heart. He didn't deliberately make things difficult for the young king, he just wanted to see with his own eyes how talented the young king was.

After all, hearing is false, and seeing is believing. Waiting for the edict is not just as simple as being on duty in the ban, a thought, a pen into writing, showing hundreds of bureaucrats, promulgating the world, it is indeed glorious, but if there are any penmanship shortcomings, it will also be infinitely magnified.

If the young king can't even write an epitaph, then he just stays in Lintai honestly and mixes up his qualifications. For example, today's Wenchang Right Prime Minister Wu Chenghei, who also took office in Lintai in his early years, although there is no word circulation, but he also has a clear resume, and he only pays homage to the prime minister when he has the prestige.

However, if the young king can really show extraordinary pen power and talent, Shen Junliang also wants to support the young king and praise the young king as their rising star in Lintai, which will be of great benefit to Lintai and himself.

Of course, it all depends on whether the young king is really talented.

As for the other Lintai officials, they may not think as deeply as Shen Junliang, but they have a little depth of the young king, and they come up with the mood of watching the excitement.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was like this, Li Tong knew that this matter was not easy to push, and if he resigned, he would not be able to live a good life in Lintai and even the entire Shendu Shilin in the future.

Even if his grandmother has promoted him a lot now and is willing to give him a chance, whether he can seize the opportunity to gain a firm foothold depends on his own ability after all.

If he showed his timidity, it was seen that he was just a straw bag of the martial arts family who lived with the favor of the god emperor, and if he still had any high positions to enjoy in the future, he would only become a pawn in the hands of his grandmother, and it would be difficult to think about his own ambitions.

"Although Xiao Wang is clumsy and shallow, since the eunuch has a life, he doesn't dare to resign."

Li Tong turned to Shen Junliang and raised his arm slightly, I don't think it's just a mouth to brag about my career, I will do what you tell me to do, so you can do it yourself.

Hearing that the young king agreed, the atmosphere in the straight hall suddenly became lively, not to mention whether the young king's pen was neat or not, this courage had already made people have a good impression of him.

Shen Junliang raised his hand and ordered: "Quickly prepare a study for the king......

"This is not necessary, Xiao Wang's new book judgment, and he is also worried, and I hope that the chief of the hall can correct it immediately, if it is really clumsy, then don't waste books and ink materials in vain, and make the Fang family laugh."

Li Tong smiled and interrupted Shen Junliang's words, his tone was already a little hidden, and the implication was that if I can write this article well, one of you present will be counted as one, and whoever beeps blindly in the future will be unhappy for yourself!

After hearing this, everyone present, such as Shen Junliang, Wang Shaozong and others, had a somewhat unnatural demeanor, but there were already good deeds who took pen and ink stationery and put it on the copy, and treated the young king respectfully.

Li Tong didn't delay any longer, walked to the bookcase and sat down, first closed his eyes and muttered, and the others also gathered their minds when they saw this, not daring to disturb Shaowang Wensi.

"King, the grinding has been adjusted."

Hearing the scribe's soft voice, Li Tong opened his eyes, grabbed a copy of Liu Zhi's books and quickly browsed it, and then picked up the pen and put down the pen slowly: Gong Qingyun, his first surname was Li, and he was also from Chengji, Longxi......

The beginning is mediocre, just a brief description of his life experience. Although the officials in the straight hall were curious, they all avoided standing outside the screen, worried about disturbing the young king, but the clerk on the side saw the young king's gesture, and his mouth was already shocked.

Li Tong heard the scribe's exclamation, so he raised his head and smiled at him, the secret Dao Lintai is really profound, even an ordinary official can see that his penmanship is different from his predecessors. When the officials saw the young king looking at him, they hurriedly covered their mouths, and bowed down with their hands in a little panic to apologize.

Seeing this scene, everyone outside the screen couldn't help but be more curious, Shen Junliang stepped forward, stood on the side of the desk and lowered his eyes, his eyes seemed to be stuck to the paper when he touched it, and after observing for a while, he raised his hand and made a move to Wang Shaozong.

Seeing this, Wang Shaozong also walked over, and his face was even more shocked at this look, and he muttered: "The king's penmanship is vigorous, the muscles and flesh are plump, and the old ruts are overflowing, and it will become an example!" ”

Hearing Wang Shaozong say this, everyone present couldn't help but be even more surprised. It is necessary to know that Wang Shaozong was born in Langya Wang, the holy door of calligraphy, although he is not known for calligraphy, but his ability to appreciate is recognized by Lintai.

Although there are a wide range of calligraphers in the dynasty, but tracing back to the source, the old method of the two kings is only learned, but Wang Shaozong said that the young king's penmanship is full of old ruts, which is already very high.

Because at this time, everyone can no longer care about being reserved, and they have stepped forward one after another, wanting to see how the young king's penmanship is, and can Wang Shaozong comment like this?

Seeing this, Li Tong simply put down his pen and pushed the book to the front of the case, so that everyone could appreciate it.

He himself also understands that although his calligraphy is still far from the beginning of the family, all of it is nothing more than years of shallow learning of craftsmanship, but there is one advantage, that is, what he has learned from the beginning is the posture of the face.

In addition to Yan Zhenqing's own calligraphy, a very important reason is that it was not until Yan Xian came that the calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty could be said to have completely gotten rid of the old law of the Six Dynasties, especially the two kings, and created a new realm of calligraphy.

Of course, it is not that new is good, after all, any art form has its origins and inheritance, and the reason why Li Tong's face can arouse the crowd in Lintai to watch and admire is mainly to highlight the prospect of a breakthrough in calligraphy.

Yan Ti can become a positive body, and it is not obtained out of thin air, but based on Yan Zhenqing's full inheritance of the calligraphy of the two kings, Chu Shu and other ancestors, and then make a breakthrough, it is not just a simple novelty.

"Bachelor Li's praise is indeed true, at one end of this book alone, the king is already enough to sit in the hall. I hope that the king can study the law and get out of work as soon as possible! ”

After carefully appreciating it, Wang Shaozong personally bent down to spread the paper roll back and smoothed it, and when he looked at the young king, his eyes were much more solemn.

Li Tong thanked Wang Shaozong for his encouragement, and felt that if he had any skills, he still had to surprise the Fang family to be doubly happy. The descendants of the book saint all praised him, and the satisfaction brought by this praise was a pleasure that others could not bring even if their tongues bloomed.

Everyone gathered around the case at this time and did not disperse, Li Tong simply continued to write slowly: the history of the Zhou Chamber Pillar, referring to the tree to open the sect; The Han family is a flying general, and he is a good person. After that, Guizhang attacked again......

Compared with the ability to chew words, Li Tong is certainly not as good as the Shilin elite of this era, but his advantage is that there are too many rules and regulations to follow.

Seeing the book of the young queen, Li Qiao's original mood of some hidden worries completely relaxed. These few sentences are used appropriately and elegantly, even if he writes them himself, it is nothing more than that.

The opening sixteen words, the origin of the Li family in Longxi will be clearly explained, Lao Tzu Li Er, Fei General Li Guang, allusions are easy to come, and the tone has been greatly calm.

The epitaph is just a story, and Liu Zhiji's behavior has done a good job.

After Li Tong started to trace the source, he only needed to copy the content of the line, simplify it, briefly describe Dugu Qingyun's life, and only praise it in the key position of his deeds. The good horse is galloping, that is, the friendly dragon is in the host".

There are many skills in writing official documents. When it comes to the skill of writing conception, in fact, ancient and modern times are almost the same, Li Tong has little problem in this regard, his biggest weakness is also the mastery and application of a large number of allusions, even if he is well-read and well-memorized, he is not as good as the ancients who have been immersed in it all year round.

However, the scope of application of epitaphs is inherently small, and there are many writing patterns. Especially when he needed to work earlier, he had been exposed to a large number of Tang epitaphs, and even if he didn't memorize and study them carefully, he could still pass through the wet ground and write down some examples of sentences. may not be able to write a majestic article like "The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", but it is not difficult to write a qualified epitaph.

"Rong participated in the dynasty of Jianwu, and favored the generation of Yuanfeng...... More tin is looking forward to longevity, and still shows the ambition of leisurely travel...... If the soul of General Dugu passes away, if he knows his life's interests and honors, he can get the king's pen to show it, and he is fortunate to know himself and go to Huangquan with a smile......"

I don't know who made this praise in the rear, after Li Tong heard this, his pen trembled slightly, and his heart was even more furious, if you don't praise people, just shut up, you are a confidant, the friendship is so good that it is difficult to give up, take you down directly!

sprinkled thousands of words, after the epitaph was written, when it came to the inscription, Li Tong's pen speed became faster. The inscription is short and lively, with a strong sense of rhyme, this is Li Tong's manuscript industry, written by the letter pen, countless materials, in just a few quarters of an hour, seven inscriptions were actually written, if it was not for the exhaustion of the paper scroll, he was only afraid that he would continue to fly the pen and write.

Even so, when he put down the pen and rolled it up, there was still a cheer in the straight hall, especially Li Qiao stepped forward and praised it: "The inscription after the Zhihou is the most painful, even if I put pen to paper, it is difficult to achieve it in a short time." The king is quick to think, and he can't do it! ”

Li Tong was also quite tired at this time, and sighed that it was no wonder that the predecessors copied the main poems, had a clear memory and copied with effort, but he forced to write this epitaph, and the content of less than 2,000 words almost hollowed him out.

But this kind of copying is very necessary, the Tang Dynasty elects officials to judge their words and words, and the "judgment" is the most important content for politicians to grasp, even if they are emperors.

How to judge the views on people and things, put pen to paper, if the pen is scrapped, even if the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" is copied out, it is nothing more than an idler and a wordman, and it is also a waste wood in government affairs.

An epitaph is a definitive conclusion on a person's coffin, and it is also a kind of judgment in a broad sense. Relying on Li Tong's original poetry and literary reserves, it is actually difficult to complete, and it is thanks to his squatting in the palace for a few months, in addition to conspiracy and calculation, there is no lack of contact research on various applied genres, combined with the previous accumulation, this can be completed.

Now that everyone is reacting like this, it seems that he has done a good job. This also made Li Tong breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, although competing with the ancients to bite the words and chew the words can be regarded as a short blow and a long blow, but the problem is that this instant contest is not the right to choose.
