Chapter 20 Blame the thief

readx;

Li Tai's heart was itching, and he was already imagining the scene of making meritorious service in front of Li Shimin and receiving a commendation in his mind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Li Tai is arrogant and arrogant, he can grasp Li Shimin's preferences very well, and he can cooperate with Li Shimin in every word and deed, which is why he has been treated by many princes who can't get it. The status of "Lanting Collection Preface" in Li Shimin's heart, Li Tai knows it very well, and he thinks he is determined to get this priceless treasure.

"My sister-in-law is very eloquent, with his ability, he can only borrow it for three days, we want to get the "Lanting Collection Preface", I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Li Tai frowned, took two steps back and forth, and said, "No matter what, I must get my hands on "Lanting Collection Preface". Mr. Du, your intelligence is no less than that of Brother Nai, but what are your clever plans? ”

Du Chuke is quick to think, although he is not as good as his brother Du Ruhui, he is also a first-class person in the world, and said with a calm smile: "Bow first and then soldiers, let people try to buy first." If it doesn't work out, you have to resort to improper means. ”

Li Tai said quietly: "Does that gentleman have a good plan?" ”

Du Chuke raised his head and said: "That Yu Shinan is a famous person in Chang'an, and Monk Zhiyong is also a celebrity in Jiangdong, just hold a gathering of literati to lure them out of the mansion." We only need to buy the people of the Yu Mansion and let people take out the "Lanting Collection Preface", and this eternal treasure will naturally fall into the hands of His Royal Highness. ”

Li Tai's eyes lit up, and then he said worriedly: "The means are indeed a little disgraceful, but in extraordinary times, it is harmless to do extraordinary things." It's just that Yu Shinan is not an idle person, he is a founding meritorious service and has a close relationship with his father, and if he gives this stolen goods to his father, his father will not be happy. ”

Du Chuke said unhurriedly: "Your Highness is worried, can Du Mouyan not be aware of it?" Everything is flexible, and the methods used are different, and the results obtained are naturally different. Why did His Highness have to present the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" as stolen goods? In another way, let's say that the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" was taken by His Royal Highness from the thief. In this way, you can not only please the emperor, but also make a contribution. ”

Li Tai looked at Du Chuke suspiciously, and faintly understood Du Chuke's true calculations in his heart.

Du Chuke didn't break it but said: "The Preface to the Lanting Collection is Wang Xizhi's lifelong masterpiece, which is incomparable. This kind of treasure is not only liked by His Majesty, but also dreamed of by His Highness, right? Why don't you collect it first, enjoy it well, and wait until the time passes, and then present it to the emperor. When the matter passes, who will doubt it, what will be said? ”

In fact, Du Chuke's plan is not to steal the "Lanting Collection Preface", but to force the monk Zhiyong to death. Zhiyong is nearly 100 years old this year, and at his age, it is possible to die at any time.

And "Lanting Collection Preface" is Zhiyong's ancestral heirloom, a treasure in the world, the same Zhiyong's beloved. No matter who you are, if you lose this kind of treasure, you will inevitably not think about it, and you will cry, regret, chagrin, and other uneasy emotions. If a young person is a young person, he may be able to survive it, but as an old man who is nearly 100 years old, how can he bear this blow, maybe he will return to the west in a few days.

Zhiyong is a monk and has no descendants, as long as Zhiyong dies, "Lanting Collection Preface" is considered an ownerless thing, and whoever gets it naturally belongs to whom.

These shady things, Du Chuke, as a Confucian scholar, can't say anything, just like the *** hanging the archway of chastity. It's obviously a sinister poisonous plan, and if you don't say it directly, it's a harmless plan for humans and animals.

Li Tai also heard Du Chuke's "sound outside the strings", and it was like covering his ears and stealing the bell, so he pretended not to know. As far as he is concerned, as long as he can please Li Shimin and thus obtain the position of the crown prince, it is nothing to kill a few people, and he said sincerely: "Mr. is really a lonely king...... Presumably everything is in the mastery of the gentleman, right? ”

Du Chuke showed the expression of the death of a confidant, and said loudly: "It is Du's duty to serve His Highness, as His Highness said, everything is under control, no accident, this "Lanting Collection Preface" will definitely fall into the hands of His Highness in a few days, and even the person who blames the trouble, Du, has already been identified." ”

Li Tai said with interest: "Then I don't know if Mr. found that unlucky guy?" ”

A mysterious smile appeared on Du Chuke's face, and instead of answering, he asked: "Does Your Highness know that there was once a mysterious figure called 'Thief Shuai' in Chang'an?" ”

Li Tai thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "I remember, there is indeed a person, the lonely king remembers." This person seems to be quite capable, and overnight, he robbed eight Helan families, and the limelight was unmatched for a while, and the legend came and went without a trace. But he hasn't been heard from for a long time. Is it ......?"

Li Tai figured it out, patted his thigh and said: "I see, the thief who calls himself 'Thief Shuai' likes to leave a notice, we just need to leave a letterhead at the scene, saying that it was stolen by the thief, which is enough to point all the fingers at him and make him speechless." ”

Du Chuke also had a little smug on his face, and he was very confident in his method, and said: "Don't say that this 'thief' doesn't know where he is now, even if he is in Chang'an, it is impossible to know that we did all this." ”

**********

Du Fu.

Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" gave Du He great feelings, allowing him to find a way forward.

Wang Xizhi's characters are almost a collection of ancient and modern calligraphy, rigid and delicate, both majestic and soft, but what really makes people talk about it is his pen power.

"Into the wood three points" this is specifically because of Wang Xizhi's pen power and derived from the idiom, can do this throughout the ages can almost non-existent, even Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Su Shi these calligraphy masters can not compare. The deepest impression of "Lanting Collection Preface" to Du He is the words that are enough to enter the wood.

Du Ti character has his characteristic characteristics, which is not inferior to Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, but the gap in pen power is unobstructed.

Because of the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection", Du He finally discovered his shortcomings in calligraphy, and he also remembered two allusions.

One is the "ink pool" and the other is the "Ink Pond".

Wang Xizhi said that Wang Xizhi grinded and practiced words every day, and washed the inkstone with pool water every day, and over time, the pool water became as black as ink. It is Zhiyong monk who is talking about retreating from the pen mound, Zhiyong has been practicing calligraphy for 30 years, and he will collect the brush head that has been bald, and there are ten altars, each of which weighs 100 catties. Jiyoung buried these brush heads, just like a tomb.

The two allusions may be exaggerated, but they undoubtedly reflect the fact that Wang Xizhi and Zhiyong were able to leave their names in history and be famous through the ages, definitely not because they were just geniuses.

Zhiyong is known as the first person to inherit Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, although he did not break through the handle, but the hand of 30 years of practice, but let him occupy a pivotal position in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

Thinking of this, Du He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that calligraphy really can't succeed overnight......"

Du He disturbed his head, feeling that the time was a little insufficient, and after thinking about it carefully, he also understood that Wang Xizhi and Zhiyong were obsessed with calligraphy, and they were able to practice tirelessly and hard. In his eyes, calligraphy is one of his great passions. He has three major hobbies in his life: martial arts, the art of war, and calligraphy.

Martial arts, the art of war, calligraphy no matter which category is broad and profound knowledge, ordinary people spend their lives, it is difficult to comprehend one of the wonders, he even learned three things, time naturally seems insufficient.

"Do you need to give up and concentrate on learning?" Du He suddenly came up with this idea, but then he felt funny and denied this idea: "I, Du Hewu, don't want to be the first warrior in China for 5,000 years like Xiang Yu, and militarily I don't plan to become a master of the art of war like Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Han Xin, and Bai Qi, and calligraphy doesn't expect to surpass Wang Xizhi, the first person in the calligraphy world, it's just a hobby, so why should I be so serious about gains and losses?" I just don't want to admit defeat, as long as I keep this era, it is enough to have a place, and to compete with those ancestors who have been dead for many years, don't you die of exhaustion. ”

Thinking like this, Du He's heart suddenly felt happy, not forcing or reluctant, everything is according to fate, only depending on the will of heaven.

But he didn't know that such a state of mind was the key to his future glorious journey. In the world, obsession is not a good thing, and relaxation is the key. Like Zhiyong, in order to practice calligraphy, he trapped himself in a small building, and practiced without leaving home for thirty years, although he practiced a beautiful calligraphy, but he had practiced the characters to death and lost his spirituality.

It is true that Wang Xizhi likes calligraphy, but he never dies practicing, but understands from life and makes progress from experience. The birth of "Lanting Collection Preface" was written because of Wang Xizhi's feelings when he was playing with Xie An, Sun Sui and other forty-one friends, and asked him to write it again.

Zhiyong is trapped in a cage and does not experience life insights, how can he surpass Wang Xizhi?

As Su Shi said, even if his words are like Wang Xizhi, he is walking the path that Wang Xizhi has walked, without transcendence, without self-experience, he will lose his soul.

Du He's idea of taking calligraphy as a hobby and living in this world and experiencing life as the right way is the most brilliant thing.

"Du Lang!" Changle took a cup of brewed tea and walked closer in style.

Du He put down the brush, put the tea aside, stretched out his hand to hold his beloved wife in his arms, and said with a smile: "I'm bored, come, accompany me to practice calligraphy, and teach you Du Ti characters for my husband." He let go of the obsession in his heart, and the whole person was relaxed.

Changle broke free from Du He's embrace with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, there is something serious...... This is Chu Suiliang, an invitation sent by Master Chu, there seems to be something. Lord Chu is the pillar of the country, maybe there is something serious......"

The most rare thing about Changle is that she has a clear distinction between public and private, and she is the kind of woman who cares about the country and her family. Because of this, she, who has always been docile, openly opposed Li Chengqian, the eldest brother, in Hongfu Temple.

Du He was stunned, Chu Suiliang is indeed an important minister in the court, and he deserves to be evaluated as a pillar of the country, but his overly conservative thinking is often opposed to Du He, and the two are not very happy, and the invitation that Chu Suiliang sent him is a strange thing.

He opened the invitation, and it turned out that he was invited to swim in the Wei River, accompanied by Yu Shinan, Zhiyong and other well-known calligraphers in Chang'an.
