Chapter 3 Cornered

There is a saying in the world of calligraphy that it is difficult to write big characters, and it is even more difficult to write small characters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info to write big words, to write small words, to write small words, to write big words.

This may seem contradictory, but it actually contains the essence of writing big and small characters.

Because a large character post is often just a few words, or even a sentence, between words and between words, between words and books, it can't seem empty. Therefore, it is important to be cohesive, and writing small print is usually an article, a letter, hundreds or thousands of words densely packed together, so the key is to have more than enough. That is to say: write large characters with the precision of small characters; And writing small characters should be as comfortable as big characters.

This is also where the difficulty lies in writing large and small characters.

Pei Min's small characters have done this perfectly, there is more than enough between the words, no matter how difficult the strokes are to write, he can also do one line at a time, neatly as if carefully measured. And the strokes are full of the roundness, grace, and uprightness of Xiaokai, and there is a faint taste of the pen of the book saint Wang Xizhi.

Wang Xizhi is a benchmark in the calligraphy world, and he has gone through dozens of calligraphy masters, of which at least seven or eight first imitated Wang Xizhi's characters to build the foundation, and then derived their own style. This is a kind of atmosphere in the calligraphy world, and it is not surprising that He Xuzhi is not surprised. But Pei Min is so young, and he has the charm in it, which is really rare, just like his cousin He Zhizhang, and even surplus.

"The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrifying!"

After silently reciting a few words in his heart, He Xuzhi turned away, looked at the people around him who had changed half of it but stopped to think, scribbled and changed the pen and ink, and even abandoned it and rewrote it, and felt that Pei Min was young and steady, and his mind was ingenious, and he secretly praised himself.

Pei Min's side, as soon as his pen fell, his mind seemed to recall the situation of copying books in a hurry a few days ago, and every word in his memory rushed out like a spring.

"The Book of Commerce" actually gave him a wave.

Next is the "Public Food Doctor's Ceremony" and "Scholar's Funeral Ceremony" in the "Rites", as one of the thirteen classics of Confucianism. "Etiquette" records the crown, marriage, funeral, sacrifice, township, shooting, court, appointment and other etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, which can be described as all-inclusive. Etiquette is the core part of Confucianism, and there is "Li" in the Six Classics of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and there is "Li" in the Five Classics of the Han Dynasty. Tang Li Nine Classics, there are "three rites"; The Song Dynasty established the Thirteen Classics, and there were also "three rites".

Pei Min followed the example of later generations and predicted the key content of the exam, among which "Etiquette" was a compulsory subject in his hypothesis, focusing on copying, and now he really took the "Etiquette", which was in his arms.

This time, Pei Min only pondered for half an hour, and he was already grinding his pen with confidence.

After all the exam questions were done, I found that there was time left, Pei Min did not hand in the paper in advance, while drinking water, while doing the inspection, there was really no problem with the inspection, so he practiced calligraphy in the examination room, wrote one more again, compared the one that was excellent, destroyed the slightly inferior, and left a better one.

It wasn't until dusk and sunset that Pei Min covered up the test papers, handed them over to the examiner, and glanced back at the examination room: there were still many people who had not finished answering, and they each lit candles. According to the rules of humanity, they have three candles at a time, and once the candles are extinguished, there is no more chance.

The next day is a post-scripture, and in order to prevent the candidates from colluding left and right, this second exam still needs to be re-seated, even if the invigilator is the same.

Pei Min drew the A-number examination room this time, and he was unexpectedly in the same examination room as Yuan Luqian, but the seats of the two were far apart, and they couldn't even make eye contact.

The so-called post scripture is to put it bluntly, that is, to fill in the blanks, cover both ends, open a single line in the middle, cut paper for the post, and fill in by the candidates. It's just that all the topics come from more than 20 books on scripture and history, and from thousands of ancient sayings, a paragraph is immediately selected, and only the middle content is given, so that you can fill in the front and back, which is a little more difficult than simple dictation.

This content is too miscellaneous and too much, even Pei Min can't answer all of them, and there are a few questions that he really can't think of where to go, so he can only give up.

On the third day, the test is Moyi, that is, the written answer to the scriptures, and a passage is given to let you understand the meaning of the ancients.

This ink meaning is Pei Min's strength, as Pei Min, who has two memories of ancient scholars and modern Chinese students, he is unique in this regard: on the one hand, he can follow the understanding of the ancients, and on the other hand, he corresponds to the thinking of modern people, taking care of each other, and the answers obtained are unconventional but do not jump out of the understanding of the ancients, which is enough to make anyone's eyes shine.

The three-day exam passed in a blink of an eye.

Chang'an Taiji Palace Wude Palace!

"How can it be!" Li Longji had just received the secret report, and he was so angry that he almost threw out the teacup in his hand, but this hand was just raised, and after a little pondering, he endured it: he has lived under the majesty of Wu Zetian since he was a child, and his relatives have killed his own grandmother one by one, honing the unusual city government, even if he is too angry, he can recover his calm in a short time. Even when there was no one around, he didn't indulge himself and vented indiscriminately.

"Someone, invite Wang Ju, Zhang Shuo, and Cui Riyong to the apse......"

He grabbed the secret report in his hand, and his nails were about to pierce into the flesh.

Not long after, Wang Ju, Zhang Shuo, and Cui Riyong asked to see each other at the same time.

Li Longji silently reported the secret to them.

When the three of them saw the contents of the secret report, their expressions changed.

The content of the secret report is about the former prime minister Liu Youqiu, Liu Youqiu is the choice of the moment, is Li Longji's most relied on right-hand man, in the early years he helped Li Longji plan with Zhong Shaojing, Ma Sizong, Xue Chongjian and others to launch a Tanglong coup, enter the palace to kill Wei, and through his hands issued more than 100 edicts, put Li Dan on the throne. Liu Youqiu also worshiped the scholars of the Middle School, participated in government affairs, became the prime minister, and later entered the worship. Tang Ruizong Li Dan also gave him an iron coupon, allowing him to enjoy the privilege of avoiding death ten times, and allowed his descendants to inherit the title of Duke of Xu for generations.

Princess Taiping's power overrode the emperor, Liu Youqiu plotted to kill Princess Taiping, but the matter was exposed, Li Longji sued him in front of Li Dan in order to protect Liu Youqiu, pleaded for him, and Li Dan agreed to save his life and exile Lingnan Fengzhou.

Li Longji originally wanted to recall Liu Youqiu back to Chang'an and reappoint him after he took real power. But she didn't want Princess Taiping to be ruthless, so she ignored the emperor's order and ordered Zhou Lizhen, the governor of Guangzhou, to kill her, just to vent the unhappiness in her heart.

Fortunately, Wang Hui, the governor of Guizhou, learned of this conspiracy and detained Liu Youqiu in Guizhou, barely saving Liu Youqiu's life.

The secret report was sent by Wang Hui, asking them to find a way to deal with it.

"What do you think!" Li Longji looked at them in a deep voice, his eyes as sharp and fierce as eagles.

Princess Taiping took it step by step, almost pushing him to a corner.
