Chapter 16: Pei Min's Argument

He Zhizhang looked at Zhang Xu's proud appearance, and was immediately angry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pei Min didn't know why at first, looking at Zhang Xu's complacency, He Zhizhang's laughter and anger, thinking that they were good at cursive, and the reason was that he guessed eight or nine.

As he thought, He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu met with wine more than a month ago, and they met each other with wine, so they were uncomfortable. After much contact, they found that they both had a high level of attainment in calligraphy, especially in cursive. He Zhizhang is good at grass li, and integrates the penmanship of cursive writing into the official script, but it is not chapter grass and grass in the strict sense, it is full of calligraphy of Wei and Jin style. Zhang Xu's cursive writing is for wild grass, the gestures are connected and rounded, and the glyphs are wild and changeable.

The two kinds of cursive script have their own merits, and He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu are the pinnacle of each other's fields. Just as there is no first martial arts and no second, the same excellent calligraphy is really difficult to distinguish between the first and the second. They both feel that their calligraphy is better than each other. For this reason, when the wine is sweet and hot, the arguing face is red, and even the unhappy part, no one convinces anyone.

With the help of Pei Min, Zhang Xu created a masterpiece with life, and this "Praise of the King of Qin" has the heroism of covering mountains and rivers. He had already had the idea of giving "Praise of King Qin" to Pei Min, but thinking of the many arguments with He Zhizhang on calligraphy, he specially used it to show his whiteness, so that He Zhizhang could be convinced.

He Zhizhang looked at "Qin Wang Zan" and sighed lovingly: "There is a ruthless spirit in this book, which must be the credit of Little Brother Pei." Zhang Xiandi's pen power is unrestrained and bold, but the pen is biased towards the soft landscape, if there is no opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no such change. ”

Zhang Xu said with a smile: "Let Brother He say yes, Brother Pei's swordsmanship is like a god, although I don't understand the sword, I can also see that he has a sword and a style, like a divine help." From his swordsmanship, I got the god of cursive writing, and my calligraphy has greatly improved. ”

Pei Min heard Zhang Xu say this for the first time, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, in his memory, Zhang Xu seemed to feel the god of cursive writing because he saw Gongsun Auntie's Xihe sword weapon, and became the great master of cursive writing in the future, how did he now feel the god of cursive from his swordsmanship? Unexpected, and a little bit of surprise.

Suddenly, He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu shook their noses at the same time, and the two walked towards the hall together.

He Zhizhang saw that Pei Min was not moving, so he pulled him and said, "Let's go, go into the house and drink." Little Brother Pei remembered one thing, I He Zhizhang made friends, regardless of identity, knowledge, or talent, but I couldn't help but drink. If you don't drink a drop of wine, He will immediately issue an eviction order. ”

Pei Min smiled: "I'm just afraid that I won't drink enough!" "He is not good at drinking, but the amount of alcohol is natural, I still remember that when I drank liquor for the first time in the later life, Si Te drank more than a pound of more than 50 degrees, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, as if he was fine. The wine of the Tang Dynasty was only more than 20 degrees at the top, and if you really want to let it go, there is no problem with six or seven catties.

He Zhizhang narrowed his eyes and said, "This is a great goodness. As he spoke, he invited him into the hall for a drink.

The two calligraphers had a discussion about calligraphy.

He Zhizhang is in his early fifties this year, and Zhang Xu is also nearly forty years old, and they have each invaded (yin) in calligraphy for decades, and their experience in calligraphy skills is far from being comparable to Pei Min. Especially in cursive writing, he has little contact with it, and he can hardly interject, but just listening to their discussion, Pei Min has a feeling that he has benefited a lot. Therefore, I was not bored, but listened to it with relish and was extremely engrossed. Occasionally, I have some insights, and inserting two sentences can also make the two of them look at each other differently.

The wine was sweet and hot, and Zhang Xu smiled: "Brother He, is this a high promotion?" Today, when I see your house in full swing, I don't dare to come to the door to see you, lest someone say that I am looking high. ”

He Zhizhang said angrily: "Brother Xian's words are bad, how can there be a noble or cheap status on the wine table, you and I make friends with wine, who dares to say more?" Besides, the virtuous brother is talented and knowledgeable, and His Majesty is eager to seek talents, if it were not for my humble words, how could I not recommend the virtuous brother to Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Xu shook his head and said: "Being an official is too restrictive, it's not what I want, so I'm exempt." But if you really have a chance, you can recommend Brother Pei, don't look at Brother Pei young, I have been with him day and night these days, talking about the past and the present. In terms of calligraphy, he is much inferior to me, but he is more knowledgeable than me, and he is not able to compare with me. Wenzhi and martial arts are his strengths, compared to our niche talents, he is a real talent. ”

He Zhizhang looked at Pei Min in surprise.

Pei Min couldn't imagine that Zhang Xu's evaluation of him was so high, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, Miao praise." ”

He Zhizhang pondered for a moment and said: "Miao is not praised, you will know it if you try it." Your Majesty is full of talent and ambition, and he is not inferior to Emperor Taizong of our dynasty. He first ascended to the throne, had the heart of reform, intended to get rid of the disadvantages of the previous dynasty, determined to revive the majesty of our Tang Dynasty, and reproduce the great cause of Taizong Gaozong Quartet to congratulate. Little brother, if you see it as you see it, where should you start? ”

"Military rule!" Pei Min didn't want to say these two words.

He Zhizhang frowned puzzled.

Pei Min said: "I went all the way south, traveled thousands of miles, passed through hundreds of villages and counties, and saw along the way, although the people are not rich, they can live and work in peace and contentment. It can be seen that the Weiwu Rebellion in the court, although it disturbed the court and caused great harm, but it did not really affect the people of the world. The people are the most simple, and what they want is nothing more than worry-free food and clothing. As long as you don't starve to death or freeze to death, even if you are tired and tired, you will not complain, which shows that our dynasty's current governance of the people in the world is still in place. Making the people's lives better is indeed something that the imperial court should plan, but it is not a top priority. ”

He Zhizhang nodded, and Zhang Xu also agreed.

At present, the Tang Dynasty is still using the policy left by Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian is good at power and politics, although the military is miserable, but on the people's livelihood side, she appointed Di Renjie as the prime minister, which has indeed improved the people's livelihood and stabilized the people's hearts, which is also an indisputable fact.

Pei Min continued: "However, the government soldiers are different, and the corruption of the government military system has become a problem for elbows and armpits. At present, the number of government soldiers fleeing is increasing day by day, and the destruction of the uniform land system has made the people unwilling to recruit and lack effective soldiers, resulting in an extremely low quality of government soldiers in various places, and when they go to the battlefield, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they have no power to resist at all. The reason why my Tang Dynasty was able to dominate the world in the past was that in addition to the many famous generals, there were also brave soldiers who were the successors. Think about the Taizong period: the battle to break the Turks, my Tang Dynasty 100,000 soldiers, dare to go deep into the grassland and fight a decisive battle with more than 200,000 strong troops in Jieli, the battle of Xue Yantuo, our Tang army 120,000 Li Xue Yantuo 200,000 troops, the total number of battles, countless. All because of the courage of my Tang soldiers, they are better than foreign races; The strength of the armor is better than that of other races; The general is also better than the other race, so less wins more, which can be called commonplace. But now thousands of cavalry can penetrate deep into the territory of our Tang Dynasty, show off their might, not more than several times the military strength, dare not fight, ashamed of their ancestors. "Sima Law" said: Although the country is large, the warlike will perish; Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. If you want Datang to regain its former glory, the reform of the military system will bear the brunt. ”
