"Ha~! Qingque, have you learned how to flatter me~?"
In the Manlu Hall, Li Er pointed at Li Tai and scolded him with a straight face.
However, if you observe carefully, you can still see an unhidden smile from the corner of Li Er's mouth. Obviously, Li Er is not really angry.
Li Tai "hurriedly" bowed and said: "I'm scared~! Everything I said before was from the bottom of my heart. Even if Yu Shaojian came to taste it in person, he would be full of praise for his father's calligraphy. Of~!”
The Yu Shaojian he mentioned naturally refers to the secretary Shaojian Yu Shinan (one of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty).
Li Er couldn't deny it and said casually: "Oh~? Really~?"
After staying with Li Zexuan for so long, Li Tai has become an actor. He said with sincerity:
"My son has been copying Wang Youjun's calligraphy for several years, but he has never been able to get a glimpse of it. Today when I saw my father's calligraphy, my heart suddenly became enlightened. I beg my father to give this calligraphy to me. My son, I After studying it carefully, maybe you can get a glimpse of the charm of the calligrapher~!"
This is Hong Guoguo's kneeling and licking, but Li Er likes it~!
In fact, during the more than three hundred years from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Li Er could be regarded as Wang Xizhi's number one "fanboy".
According to the "Xu Family Law Secretary" of the Tang Dynasty: "Taizong Yu Youjun's book was specially reserved for reward. In the early days of Zhenguan, he issued an edict to purchase it, but all the remaining items were lost."
In other words, as soon as Li Shimin became emperor, he couldn't wait to spend money on his idol, and vowed to buy up all Wang Xizhi's works~~!
The effect of the emperor's edict was naturally great. According to "Shu Shu Lu", Li Shimin collected more than 3,000 pieces of Wang Xizhi's ink at that time, bound them into a scroll, and printed the word "Zhenguan" on them.
However, Li Er, who has "endless star chasing", said that this is still not enough, and he must go off the stage to shout for his idol in person. "Book of Jin", one of the Twenty-Four Histories, was written in the 22nd year of Zhenguan. The book contains four historical treatises written by Li Shimin himself, one of which is "The Biography of Wang Xizhi".
In the historical commentary, Li Er commented on Zhong Yao (Yao), Wang Xianzhi (the seventh son of Wang Xizhi) and other calligraphers one by one, and found faults with each one, and then directly said: "Carefully examine the past and present, study carefully Seal script and plain script are perfect, but Wang Yi is the only one who has less." "The rest are just like that, so what's the point?"~!
In order to highlight the perfection of the idol, he does not hesitate to belittle others, including the idol's son~! Li Shimin's craziness in chasing stars is comparable to some modern fangirls~!
However, Li Er is a 95-year-old master after all, and he still has a pattern. While chasing stars, he also did not forget to improve his calligraphy level.
It is said that every time he obtained an authentic work by Wang Xizhi, Li Er would have it hung in his bedroom so that he could view it day and night and copy it every day. And not only copying it myself, but also having to copy it hundreds of times with my sons, not just a few times, not dozens of times, but hundreds of times~!
But not to mention, Li Er still has a certain talent in calligraphy. Although Li Tai's remarks just now are a bit exaggerated, there is no doubt about the excellence of this copybook itself.
For Li Er, after copying his idol's works for so long, he finally received such a "sincere" praise, and his own behavior can be regarded as mobilizing Li Tai's enthusiasm to learn from his idol in disguise. Of course, in his heart He was overjoyed, but he was still reserved and did not show it, but said calmly:
"Haha~! Since you like Qingque, I will give you this calligraphy~! Remember to practice more diligently, my father hopes that one day you will be able to catch a glimpse of the charm of Wang Youjun's running script~!"
Li Tai bowed "flattered" and said: "My son, I thank my father for the gift, and remember my father's teachings~! You must practice diligently every day!"
"Hmm~!"
Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Qingque, do you have something to do with your father today~?"
Li Tai's thoughts suddenly changed, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "My son, I came here to say hello to my father, but when I saw my father's calligraphy skills, I was filled with admiration, and I had an unkind invitation~!"
"Oh~? Qingque, what do you want~? Father, come and listen~!"
Li Erduan sat on the dragon couch, took a sip of tea, and asked curiously.
Li Tai took a deep breath and replied: "Back to my father, it's like this. Yanhuang Academy is about to start school, but the academy has not hung up the plaque until now. I just saw my father's calligraphy, which is like an authentic calligraphy work by a saint. So, I dare to ask my father to give Yanhuang Academy a plaque~!"
Quiet~!
As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Li Er didn't say a word, and the movement of holding the tea cup was frozen in the air, and the scene seemed to be frozen here.
In fact, Li Er felt very uneasy because Li Tai's words suddenly reminded him of something:
Three months ago, the Eight Doctors of the Imperial College headed by Cui Shanyou jointly impeached Li Zexuan for corrupting the academic style, disrupting the teaching order of the Imperial College, and secretly spreading miscellaneous knowledge. After punishing Cui Shanyou and others, Li Zexuan resigned angrily and wanted to go home to run the school. At that time, Li Er was attracted by the engineering prospects described by Li Zexuan, and he promised on the spot that after the Yanhuang Academy was completed, he would personally inscribe a plaque for the Yanhuang Academy.
However, after such a long time, Li Zexuan was assassinated, the Seven Xiu Sect was destroyed, the Cui family was even involved, and then there were constant turmoil in Chang'an City. By the time Yanhuang Academy was actually built, Li Er had already forgotten the original Agree to inscribe a plaque.
Now, Li Tai suddenly mentioned this matter in front of him. Did he mean it~? Or is it unintentional~?
"Um……"
After pondering for a long time, Li Er finally returned to normal. He put down the tea cup, looked at Li Tai and nodded: "Okay~! I will inscribe a plaque for Yanhuang Academy~!"
Regardless of whether Li Tai did it intentionally or unintentionally, since he didn't take the initiative to point it out, there was no need for Li Er to bring up what happened three months ago. After all, as a father, he still had to retain some dignity in front of his children.
"My son, thank you very much, Father~!"
Of course, the little fat man mentioned it intentionally, but his acting skills were pretty good. For a moment, Li Er was a little confused about what was real and what was fake.
When Li Er came to the Long Case, Li Tai diligently spread out the rice paper for Li Er and started grinding it on the side, which was a bit clumsy. Li Er closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and started writing decisively. The tip of the pen was like the tip of a sword, and the rice paper was like a battlefield. The pen moved swiftly and majesticly. After a while, the four characters "Yanhuang Academy" appeared on the paper.
"Okay~! Take it, Qingque~! I'm going to your mother's place for dinner~!"
Li Er waved his hand and left the palace alone, leaving Li Tai alone here.
