Lu Ji did not admit that he had a copy of "63 Stickers" in his home, and Shang Cheng had nothing to say. The predecessor Wei Mu was already in prison when he entrusted the authentic handwriting of "63 Stickers" to Lu Ji, and he may not even have the pen and ink to write a defense for himself. He didn't break it, got up with a smile and took a few personnel files from the table, and was about to turn the topic to official business, Lu Ji held the handscroll in his hand and asked: "Zida's word is not a line or a letter, Qiu Jian is a family of his own, it seems that calligraphy has been on the road for three years and five years." ”

Lu Ji is a calligrapher and a connoisseur, and the fact that calligraphy can be approved by him also makes Shang Cheng a little proud. He sat down in the chair, rubbed his freshly shaved chin, and grinned, "Bo Fu Gong praised it." It's true that I've been studying for a few years, but I just have a little experience, and I don't dare to say anything 'self-contained'......"

"Zida is too modest." Lu Ji unfolded the handscroll and said solemnly, "Zida's words have both Ouyang Xinben's dangerous and steep pulling, and Chu Dengshan's thin and hard quaint, its simple and majestic natural accessibility, and the two Xianda are very different, as if inheriting the Han Li and creating their own pattern, the structure is square and rigorous, the strokes are calm and steady and smart, and the pen power runs through the back of the paper, and there is a hidden strength to fight the dragon and the tiger." With such a flying look, it is okay to call it 'a family of its own'. ”

Shang Cheng was suddenly praised by Lu Ji's words. He didn't remember that the letter was the expression of Ouyang Xun, a great calligrapher at Tang Zhenguan, and Chu Dengshan was Chu Suiliang, a great calligrapher at the time of Tang Gaozong, but these two people were from Lu Ji's mouth, and of course they couldn't be nameless. Being able to compare with his predecessors naturally made him both happy and ashamed, and he was scratched by Lu Ji, and he was a little overjoyed, plus "Yidong and Xun" was a sleepless night when he was reading, he was also extremely proud, he couldn't help but smile on his back, and waved his hands again and again to say that he didn't dare to be.

Seeing that he was overjoyed, Lu Ji took advantage of the situation and asked, "Is there a title for Zida's font?" He had already read Shang Cheng's resume and knew that this person had become a monk in Jiazhou, and because he admired Hongchen, he took off his robe and wore a brown jacket. In the seventeenth year of the Eastern Era, the Bohai Jin County was broken by the sudden exhaustion, and the relatives died in the war, and they came to Yanshan alone to join their relatives. Since then, he has been working part-time jobs in Yixian County to make a living, and it was not until the Yandong War in the 18th year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty that he was appreciated by Li Shen, and was promoted from a Bai Ding Jian to an officer. Last year, Xiao Jian was valued by Xiao Jian during the imperial court's northern expedition, and he became a general by several levels, opening the way for the army to break through as Sima. In the future, it is needless to say that the pretending commander will govern the civil and military affairs of Yanshan...... But the longer he was in contact with Shang Cheng, the more suspicious Lu Ji became. Shang Cheng had read the book, which surprised him in the first place. Shang Cheng was not only literate, but also able to write a good regular script, which made him even more stunned that such a person with both wisdom and courage, whether he was a monk or not, could not be unknown for a long time, how could he never have heard of such a great monk? What made him most suspicious was what Shang Cheng did after he took a false position. It stands to reason that such a poor and destitute person should always sing and drink insolently after taking advantage of the situation to ascend to the sky, but he has worked with Shang Cheng for more than half a year, but he has never seen Shang Cheng have any indulgent and perverse behavior, and his mind is only on official and military affairs. This young admiral is hard-working, never says big things, and many times starts from small things, starting from the local situation, and would rather spend time talking and communicating with people than acting arbitrarily, so it is easy to gain the trust and trust of others. And this person has a very broad vision, perseverance and perseverance, once something is accepted by him and recognized by everyone, it will immediately be popularized like a storm, so it only takes half a year to make the devastated post-war Yanshan change another scene. It must be said that he, Di Xu, and Tao Qi recommended a good admiral for Yanshan, and also discovered a great talent for the imperial court. He had to sigh that sometimes, selfishness may not be able to do good things......

"This is the Wei Monument."

"Wei Monument?" Lu Ji looked dazed. The five books in the world are subordinate to the grass, and he has never heard of any Wei monuments.

Seeing Lu Ji's confused expression, Shang Cheng was also a little strange: Could it be that Lu Ji didn't know Wei Bei? He explained: "It is a type of regular script, a font between official script and regular script. "Twenty Products of Longmen", Bo Fugong has not seen it? ”

Lu Ji's eyes widened and he shook his head.

Shang Cheng couldn't understand why Lu Ji shook his head for a while, so he asked, "What about the four products on the Dragon Gate?" "Bhikshu Hui Became the Statue Inscription of the Deceased Father Shiping Gong", "Wei Lingzang Xue Fashao Statue Inscription", "Sun Qiusheng Liu Qizu 200 Statue Inscriptions" and "Yang Dayan Statue Inscription for Emperor Xiaowen" ......" He stared at Lu Ji and reminded one by one. Seeing Lu Ji's eyes blurred, he knew that he had never heard of it. "Zheng Wengong Monument? "Diao Hui Gong Monument"? ...... what about "Zhang Menglong Monument"? He shook his head when he said a word, shook his head again, and finally couldn't help asking, "What about the Longmen Grottoes?" You've always heard of the Longmen Grottoes in Shangjing Plains, right? ”

"Longmen Grottoes?" At this time, Lu Ji's stunned eyes finally improved a little, and he swallowed his saliva and asked, "...... Is Zida talking about the cliff statue of Longmen Mountain? ”

Shang Cheng nodded.

“…… Know. I served two terms as the governor of Pingyuan Province and went there a few times. I haven't seen anything "Zheng Wengong Monument" and "Zhang Menglong Monument", and I haven't heard of the four and twenty products of Longmen that you said......" Lu Ji muttered.

Shang Cheng knew that Lu Ji had been circling around Shangjing since he was an official, and said with a smile: "Zheng Bei and Zhang Bei are both in Shandong, you haven't been there, and it's common for you not to see them." I have only seen "Zhang Menglong Tablet" in Qufu Confucius Temple. He also can't remember the original name of this monument very clearly, so he simply didn't mention it vaguely in the past, and only picked up the impression of the predecessors to relay, "This is the first Wei monument, the style of calligraphy is strong, and there is no lack of changes with the pen such as cutting gold and jade, chic and ancient and strange are born together, and calligraphy is the first of its kind in the Tang Dynasty...... As for the twenty products of Longmen, they are all inscriptions or epitaphs made by stonemasons in response to guests, written by anonymous swords and axes, and their names have long been obliterated and cannot be verified. ”

Lu Ji was silent, and said for a long time: "Is it the inscription of the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Not Cao Wei? ”

Shang Cheng was holding the teacup and wanted to drink saliva, but the cup was handed to his mouth and he stopped, and said with a smile, "Who told you that it was Cao Wei?" He took a sip of water, put down the teacup, and said, "Bo Fu is a calligrapher, so of course he knows the origin of regular script." In the Wei and Jin dynasties, regular script appeared, Zhong Xuan's "Declaration Table" and Wang Xizhi's "Huang Tingjing" are all regular scripts, and they are mature regular scripts. The two Jin Dynasty alternated, and the development of writing in the north and south also embarked on two paths. On the one hand, the scholars of the Southern Dynasty are elegant and elegant, so they strive to be beautiful in writing; On the other hand, a large number of northern scholars crossed to the south, and the development and evolution of northern characters from official script to regular script inevitably appeared a fault, and naturally embarked on another road, and the folk artists themselves groped for the direction of change, mainly the folk habitual writing, and naturally there was no calligrapher's meticulous carving, but there was a natural atmosphere. Therefore, there is a saying that 'the south book is gentle and the north book is strong'. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the calligraphy of the north and the south had the opportunity to merge, but Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, admired Wang Xizhi's calligraphy the most, and the calligraphy style of the Jin Dynasty has always been the mainstream of the late Tang Dynasty, so everyone no longer pays attention to what Wei monuments, but concentrates on fixing the law and font structure of regular script. Even if someone goes to learn Wei Bei, it is also the personal interest of the calligrapher, such as Ouyang Xun's regular script "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming", which was influenced by Wei Bei, and the book "Zhang Hansi Perch Post" rose from the lonely peak and was cut on all sides, and it also carried the traces of gravity of Wei Bei. There are also other people who have studied Wei Bei, it seems to be Chu Suiliangyi" He patted his forehead and thought about it, and said uncertainly, "It seems to be him." Chu Suiliang's "Wild Goose Pagoda Holy Sect Preface Tablet" has a thin font and a strict structure, and the traces of the Wei tablet are very deep. Although some people say that it is a forgery, the pen is strong, the rhyme is ancient, calm and happy, and it has more Wei Bei's charm......"

He is rare to be idle, and he is talking with the world's scholars, naturally he is talking eloquently, from the evolution of Likai to the four calligraphers of the early Tang Dynasty, and from Ouyang Xi's calligraphy to the completion of the regular script, he is still full of interest. Fortunately, he still remembered that the Chen Dynasty had always boasted of inheriting the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, so he did not bring the topic to the four masters of the Song Dynasty who emphasized calligraphy creation rather than calligraphy innovation.

Lu Ji had already heard it in a daze. One book post after another came out of Shang Cheng's mouth, which made him itch and tremble. He vainly called himself a "calligraphy and painting heirloom", but most of the works in his family's collection were just some little-known calligraphers and painters. Seeing Shang Cheng talk about the posts one by one, he recited the original text in large sections where his interest came from, dipped his fingers in tea and scribbled on several cases, and commented that this word "jumped freely", and the word "bones are rich and fleshy", and the cursive letters came and went, which made him intoxicated by the soul and heart. A mystery suddenly rose at the bottom of the center of the trance: Could it be that Shang Cheng had seen all these inscriptions, studied and figured them out? How many places do you have to run, and how much time does it take? And as far as he knows, the "Zhongni Dream Laying Post" mentioned by Shang Cheng was taken to Beijing to drink and sell a few years ago, and I don't know how many people rushed to invite to buy it for a while, and finally Princess Nanyang bought it for 4,700 yuan, can it be said that Shang Cheng had studied the post before Princess Nanyang?

Emperor Bodhisattva! What kind of monk is this?

He was shocked by this sudden flashing thought, and his mind came to his senses, and he glanced at Shang Cheng quietly.

He had long been suspicious of Shang Cheng's origin, and he also inquired about Huo Shiqi, but Huo Shiqi's mouth was too tight, and he didn't find anything. Now that he finally has proof that a monk with such a vision and such a vision should have moved the world a long time ago, how could he endure loneliness and endure hardships in Yanshan? Could it be that there is another ulterior reason for this?

Shang Cheng, who was talking loudly, was swept by him at a glance, and he was also shocked, and he immediately opened his mouth and stammered, and he couldn't continue his words. Only then did he regretfully realize that he had carried away that this was not a university school, nor a dormitory of the unit, this was the study of the fake admiral, and the person sitting next to him was not a simple classmate and colleague, but a clever and skilled Zhao Yanshan Wei Mu......

The atmosphere in the study immediately fell silent.

There was even a hint of unsettling weirdness in the silence.

After a long time, Lu Ji pursed his lips and shook his head and smiled, and said, "I have been taught." Zida's knowledge is broad and far-reaching, and I can't do it enough. He had already made up his mind not to report Shang Cheng. On the one hand, Shang Cheng Admiral Yanshan, he made a lot of effort in it, and he couldn't get out of it when the matter was exposed; On the other hand, even if he can get out, the benefits will not fall on his head The Admiral of the Four Guards has always been a famous general, and he will never be able to sit in that position as a civil official. Besides, no matter what Shang Cheng's background is, everything this person does is for the good of Yan Shan and for the good of Da Zhao, and he can't do the kind of villain act of destroying the Great Wall. The most important thing is that he has a feeling for Shang Cheng that is difficult to explain clearly-he, a person who is old and familiar with the officialdom of accidents, will actually admire this young boss who is twenty years younger than himself......

Shang Cheng grinned in embarrassment and embarrassment. He really didn't know what to say now.

Lu Ji stroked the handscroll in his hand and said, "This, just give it to me?" ”

Shang Cheng's voice was extremely dry, "...... Bo Fugong didn't think those words were ugly, so he took them. ”

Lu Ji smiled and said, "Then thank you Zida." After a pause, he said, "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, if Zida is free, you might as well come to my house for a drink, I also have a few calligraphy and paintings that are difficult to enter the eyes of the Fang family. ”

Shang Cheng also eased his expression and said with a smile: "Bo Fu Gong invited, dare to say the word 'no'?" ”
