Chapter 60: The Public Court
As the banquet drew to a close, the excitement of the guests was at its peak, and many were already privately exchanging ideas about who would emerge victorious.
"Brother Wei, who do you think is better than King Zhao or Qian Lun?"
"Not to mention the pen power of King Zhao's iron painting silver hook, who doesn't know his literary talent in my Chu country? Naturally, King Zhao won! ”
"Brother Wei is too arbitrary, isn't he? I don't think you know much about Qian Lun! ”
"Huh? Isn't Qian Lun the Yin of Jinling Mansion? Oh, and he's also from the Huiji Qian clan! ”
"Qian Lun is not only from the Huiji Qian family, he is also the champion of the first year of Zhihe because of his outstanding literary talent!"
"Qian Lun's regular script can also be called my great Chu, and Lord Duanmu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, once praised him for chasing Zhong Xuan!"
"Hey, where is Brother Wei?"
While the guests were discussing, two bookcases had been placed in the center of the banquet, and a special servant had arranged pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Sun Jun and Qian Lun looked at each other before they each wrote and filed the case.
"Qian Fuyin, what do you want to do?"
"This competition was proposed by the lower officials, so naturally it is not good to set the topic again, so I still ask His Highness to come up with the question."
"Hehe, no matter who the two of us ask, it's not fair, it's better to find someone else to do the question, what does Qian Fuyin think?"
"Very good."
Sun Jun smiled and turned his head to look at the guests present: "I have a question for all the guests!" ”
The guests began to talk again, but for a while, there was no certainty. At this time, Yuan Shu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Today's banquet is full of friends, it is really a success, why don't you take the banquet as the theme, what do you think?" ”
"Very good!" Sun Jun and Qian Lun both spoke in unison.
The topic was set, and the two began to write and meditate.
It didn't take much effort, Qian Lun had already smiled slightly, started to write first, and most of the guests were attracted by him, only to see that he had written the first line: "Xingle Ping's life, Fang is engaged, and he has not thought of returning." ”
"Good word!" Some of the guests were already exclaiming.
"King Zhao has also put pen to paper!" Someone said this, and many guests were shunted to Sun Jun's side.
At this time, Sun Jun was smiling, and he wrote hard in his hand: "Luo Qisheng is fragrant and delicate. Jin Lian opens the land and sea, and the capital city is beautiful. ”
Finally, Sun Jun and Qian Lun put down their pens almost at the same time, and when the pen and ink were dry, two servants on each side spread out their ink treasures so that more guests could enjoy them.
Someone tried to say: "Xingle is a lifelong ambition, and he is engaged in it, and he has not thought about it." The joy and banquet are the same, and there are many obstacles, and there are traces of smelting, and they are also uneven. The years change, the fame is empty, and the friends are half cloudy. Rest and reminisce about the old tour, so as not to become thin in spring, do not harbor new hatred, and fear of provoking autumn sorrow. Thinking about the fun place, thinking about the spring sleepiness, drunk pillow clothes. What is the secret promise, stealing the good time. Thinking of the west chamber of the moon, the flowers are shallow, leaning on the south of the building, and the clouds are drooping. Don't stop after a moment, Yi and fight again. ”
As soon as he finished reading, all kinds of praises came to his face. Qian Lun's characters are square and round, mainly square, the dot painting is strong, and the pen is condensed. It is not only steep on the side, but also rigorous and neat, and it remains stable in the side of the side, and it is compact without losing sparseness, which can indeed be called the best in the regular script.
Some people continued to read Sun Jun's book: "Luo Qisheng is fragrant and delicate in spring." Jin Lian opens the land and sea, and the capital city is beautiful. Baoyu looked back at Cui Fengqing. The east wind blows and blows the stars in the middle of the sky. Wanjing He Shengping. The song is full of flowers, and the moon follows the people. The dragon tower is a little jade light. Xiao Shaoyuan, the banquet is in Pengying. ”
But gradually, the guests were silent, and no one commented on Sun Jun's writing, and after a while, someone asked: "Your Highness, I have never seen this handwriting before, dare to ask what kind of penmanship it is, and who is it from?" ”
A faint smile appeared on Sun Jun's face: "This is a thin gold body created by this king under the guidance of a hundred schools. ”
As soon as these words came out, thunderous applause broke out in an instant, and many guests were close to madness, and they rushed forward just to see the handwriting of King Zhao.
In the dead of night, the Qian Mansion behind the Jinling Mansion.
Qian Lun sat in the study, staring blankly at the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" on the bookcase, with a deep reluctance in his eyes. After a long time, his eyes looked at the candlestick, and he reached out to pick up the scroll and lean into the candle flame.
"Master, Jiang Lian, the son of Jiang Tong, asks to see you!" The voice of the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting Qian Lun's actions.
"What is he, I don't see him!" Qian Lun showed a hint of displeasure.
"Yes, I'll send him away!"
"Wait! Did he say why? ”
"I just said that there is something to be presented to the master!"
Qian Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said after a while: "Okay, let him wait for me in the side hall!" ”
"Yes."
In the side hall of the Qian Mansion, Jiang Lian waited here for a long time before he saw Qian Lun walking in slowly.
Jiang Lian kowtowed and knelt: "Jiang Lian has seen the master!" ”
Qian Lun glanced at him lightly: "What are you doing here late at night, tell me!" ”
Jiang Lian didn't dare to get up, but smiled and said: "Recently, I bought a good new product from Yangzhou, and I was anxious to give it to the master, so I came to disturb it late at night!" ”
"Let me see!"
"The master has commanded, come out quickly!"
Jiang Lian called, and a twenty-eight beauty came out from behind the screen in the hall, her face was pink, her figure was graceful, and her eyes were full of affection.
"I've seen the master!" The twenty-eight beauties were slightly blessed by Qian Lun, and her voice was extremely soft.
"Take your clothes off!"
"This?" The twenty-eight beauties suddenly blushed and looked at Jiang Lian, who was kneeling.
Jiang Lian's eyes were fierce: "Don't listen to the master's orders yet!" ”
"Yes!" The twenty-eight beauties couldn't help but have red eyes, and took off their clothes one by one until they were defenseless.
Jiang Lian didn't dare to look back, but his throat involuntarily grunted.
Qian Lun glanced at the twenty-eight beauties from beginning to end, but said to Jiang Lian in a cold tone: "Beauty is beautiful, but it is distinctive, you can take it back." ”
Jiang Lian was stunned, and suddenly said again: "That one will come out too!" ”
After saying this, a beautiful woman came out from behind the screen, her age, appearance, and posture were exactly the same as the previous one, and it turned out to be a pair of twins.
Qian Lun's eyes were different, he laughed twice, stood up suddenly, stepped forward to hug the two twin beauties into his arms, and then walked directly out of the door.
"Master!" Jiang Lian only shouted, but he didn't dare to look up.
"You did a good job this time, it suits my heart, and I will reward you when I look back!" Qian Lun didn't bother to turn back.
"Master, in fact, I still have something to ask for!"
"What?"
"Today, my subordinates were accidentally killed, and the murderer has been arrested and returned to the Jinling Mansion prison, I want to ask the master to severely punish the murderer for me!"
"According to my Dachu law, you have to pay for your life when you kill someone, why do you do this? Have you done something shady behind my back? ”
"Don't dare, master!"
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with you today! Remember, don't be clever in front of me in the future! ”
"Yes."
Qian Lun didn't make any reply before leaving, leaving Jiang Lian alone kneeling there.
The next day, the Jinling Mansion.
"Might~Martial~" The two rows of officials shouted mighty, and kept beating the water and fire sticks in their hands, in this hall of might, a tall and strong young man with a height of nine feet was tied up by a number of fast catchers and escorted to the court.
Above the public court, Qian Lun, who was dressed in a red official robe, was shocked and shouted, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”
Although the young man was unkempt, his voice was full of neutrality: "The grass people are high! ”
"What did you do?"
"Grass people kill. No, my lord, the grass people are just eliminating harm for the people! ”
Qian Lun smiled faintly: "Killing people is killing people, where do you get rid of harm for the people?" ”
At this time, a voice suddenly appeared outside the court: "My lord, Gao Wuji is indeed eliminating harm for the people, and we can testify for him!" ”
Qian Lun looked for a sound, and saw that among the onlookers outside the door, there were several teenagers who were negotiating with the intercepting officials, and Fang Cai's words were coming from the mouth of a handsome young man.
Qian Lun's eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful young man, and then he spoke: "Since they are witnesses, there is no reason for the official to stop them, let them in!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The officials were allowed to let go.
"Wait for the first time!"
"Back to Lord Yin, the grass people's name is Xiao Yun!" Although the beautiful young man has knelt down, his body is straight, and his tone is neither humble nor arrogant.
Qian Lun didn't care about the answers of the other two teenagers at all, he only looked at the beautiful boy carefully from beginning to end, and finally sighed slightly in his heart: "Hey, it's a pity that it's not a female." ”
