Chapter 2385 Zhu Yun breaks the threshold
Shujing Hall.
His Majesty Li Er sat down on the floor mat, holding a tea cup in his hand, and sighed: "As parents, we always hope that our children can grow up quickly, but when they grow up, they start a family and start a career, and the time they spend with their parents is very limited. It’s getting less and less, and it’s really hard to feel empty and lost.”
Princess Changle, who was pouring tea with her hands, pursed her lips and smiled, and gave her father a helpless look.
How old are you?
Just like a child, playing a sad game...
Gently pushing the plate of pastries in front of His Majesty Li Er, he said softly: "What did your father say? Your father is now full of children and grandchildren, and the branches are luxuriant. Even though several brothers and several sisters are married, But there are still several younger brothers like Si Zi, Xiao Yao, King Ji, King Dai, King Zhao, and King Cao who are under the influence of Cheng Huan. What you say will break their hearts.”
His Majesty Li Er said: "Xiao Yao has reached the age of getting married after the Chinese New Year. Although Si Zi is weak, he has cultivated himself well in the past two years. It is time to find him an in-law. But you are not young anymore. You are here all day long." Inside the Taoist temple, the ancient green lantern Buddha is so quiet and cold. My father seems to be looking forward to the stars and the moon to see you come back to the palace once in a while. What do you want?"
He was heartbroken about this girl.
It's just peace and separation. How can the emperor's daughter worry about getting married? The children of aristocratic families all over Chang'an lined up to choose from, but they couldn't like any of them. That's it, you have to go to the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain all day long. Is it so easy to cultivate Taoism and become an immortal?
Every daughter regards it as a hobby and occasionally practices to strengthen her body and cultivate her sentiments. But if she becomes addicted to it, what kind of behavior will she have?
Even with all the power of the country, he is unable to figure out how to become an immortal. To get a Tianzhu monk, he has to hide in Jiucheng Palace, and he has to secretly make elixirs and medicines. This road is really not easy to follow...
Princess Changle lowered her eyebrows and said, "My daughter is not in a hurry. Wouldn't it be nice to stay in the palace with her father for a few years?"
His Majesty Li Er said that's fine, but the key is how many days will you stay in the palace throughout the year?
Seeing the look on his daughter's face, His Majesty Li Er sighed speechlessly. He knew his daughter better than her father. He was very familiar with Changle's temperament, which was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. He knew that once she made up her mind, no one would be able to persuade her.
If Queen Wende was still alive, Changle could probably still hear a few words she said...
"Alas!"
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and sighed, it is really a debt to his children that cannot be paid off.
Wang De, the chief chamberlain, walked in softly and whispered: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jing wishes to see you."
His Majesty Li Er was startled. The emperor's younger brother would not enter the palace easily if nothing happened. But if he did, there must be something wrong.
"Do you know what happened?"
Wang Dedao: "According to His Royal Highness King Jing, he recently acquired a painting by Changkang and came to the palace specially to present it to His Majesty."
"Oh?"
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic.
Even though he spent half his life in the army and is now an emperor, he is actually a literary young man at heart. He has always had a hobby of literature, especially the calligraphy and painting of famous artists, which has reached the point of obsession.
In order to obtain the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" written by the "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi, as the supreme leader of the Nine Five Years, he actually ordered ministers to go to Shanyin County and steal the "Lanting Preface" from a temple monk...
Since Gu Changkang was Gu Kaizhi, he was hailed as the "Sage of Painting" by his contemporaries. He was famous for his three talents: "painting, writing, and infatuation." He had many works, but there were too few authentic works. Each one was a fine product, and his status It's definitely no worse than Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works. Where can I sit down immediately? He stood up hurriedly and said to Princess Changle: "Come as soon as you go to be my father. Let's see what treasure your Uncle Jing has got!"
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
When they returned to the Dragon Palace, they saw Li Yuanjing dressed in regular clothes, holding a scroll in his hand, and looking around in the palace. His Majesty Li Er took three steps at a time, stepped forward, stared at the scroll in Li Yuanjing's hand, and said quickly : "Are they really Gu Kaizhi's paintings?"
Li Yuanjing smiled proudly, placed the scroll on the table, took out a flower scroll, spread it out and placed it on the table. His Majesty Li Er had already come over to take a look.
This is a portrait, which is Gu Kaizhi's specialty.
The figure in the painting can be seen in a wide robe with big sleeves and a high crown and broad belt. He is standing under a pine tree with his hands behind his back. His clothes are open and his handwriting is tight and continuous, like spring silkworms spinning silk, like spring clouds floating in the sky, and water flowing on the ground. All of them are natural, especially It is the eyes of the person in the painting, which seem to be awake but not awake, and seem to be sleeping but not sleeping. When they are opened and closed, they reveal a bright and open-minded charm. They can be called the finishing touch, like a god!
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were shining, his fingers were slightly suspended in the air, he subconsciously copied along the lines of the characters in the painting, and said three words "good" in succession.
Li Yuanjing felt proud when he saw that His Majesty Li Er couldn't put it down, and said: "This "Portrait of Ruan Xian" was painted by Gu Changkang in his prime. At that time, his mind was mature and his skills were perfect. He was at his peak. This portrait is the portrait of Ruan Xian. The pure, simple yet wild and wild temperament is so vivid that it is the best among all Gu Changkang's works. ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded repeatedly: "Gu Changkang is the best at portraits. All the people he paints are lifelike, and he is the best among them."
Li Yuanjing secretly glanced at His Majesty Li Er, sighed, and said with emotion: "Ruan Xian drinks with pigs and treats them equally. He can also ride a donkey to chase maids. He is broad-minded and crazy. He is really a role model in my heart. If a person can be like him, Really, this life is not in vain!”
"Huh?"
His Majesty Li Er was completely focused on the painting. Hearing this, he was stunned and came back to his senses.
The majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty actually wanted to imitate Ruan Xian and become a sage in the bamboo forest who had no rules or restraints and relied on his talents as he pleased?
It is said that the emperor has a "golden mouth", and the emperor has no joke, but no matter how many ministers are in front of the emperor, they still carefully consider every word and dare not say nonsense.
In other words, every sentence must have something to say...
What does Li Yuanjing want to express?
His Majesty Li Er was still looking at the painting, but he was already muttering in his heart.
When Ruan Xian was in mourning, he was still able to ride on a donkey and steal a maidservant. During a banquet at home, he actually allowed a pig to come to the banquet and drink with him... This is a bit unreasonable to any normal person.
The reason why later generations respected him as the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" was precisely because of this kind of temperament that others could not achieve. They believed that the sages' derogatory remarks or praises of the characters were to find out the origin of their actions and determine the talents and conduct of the characters. . Even though what he did was shocking to the world, it was reasonable and reasonable.
So what is the reason why Ruan Xian can be connected?
This man's official career was not smooth and he was independent. Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty thought that Ruan Xian was a drunkard and was vain, so he didn't use him. Moreover, he was resented by Xun Xu for questioning his music and was demoted to be the governor of Shiping. However, this person did not feel depressed because of this. Instead, he wandered around the mountains and rivers and enjoyed it very much.
Could it be that Li Yuanjing's intention in sending this painting was to say that what he did before was just human nature, and now he has realized his mistakes and plans to travel in the mountains and forests, being open-minded and open-minded?
His Majesty Li Er twitched his chin, somewhat unexpectedly.
Li Yuanjing added: "Ruan Xian has an open-minded temperament. If he were to stand above the court, his temperament would probably be intolerable. It would be much better than Zhang Ziwen secretly occupying a high position but doing nothing."
Zhang Ziwen was Zhang Yu, the Marquis of Anchang in the Han Dynasty.
This man was profound in learning and cautious. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty came to the throne. Because he was the master of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, he was given the title of Marquis of Guannei and ascended to the position of prime minister. However, this man was unparalleled in knowledge, but accomplished nothing as a prime minister. Ban Gu once commented on this man: "Confucianism occupies the position of prime minister, wears Confucian clothes, and spreads the words of the previous kings. He can be borrowed, but he still maintains his salary and position. Flattery and ridicule. He can see the ropes based on the traces of the ancients, but he can't do anything he wants!" This means that this person is profound in knowledge and can be praised as a "Confucian", but in fact he has no ability, does nothing, is in a mediocre position, and is not competent for his position.
To paraphrase a latecomer’s words, being on top of it is like a “clay sculpture with a clay body”...
Later, Zhu Yun, the magistrate of Huaili, wrote a letter of remonstrance, criticizing the courtiers for eating the corpses without food, and asked Zhang Yu, the marquis of Anchang, to behead the fawning minister Zhang Yu to punish the rest. Emperor Cheng was furious and wanted to kill Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun clung to the railings of the main hall and shouted loudly, and eventually the railings were torn off. Later, Emperor Cheng came to his senses and ordered that the broken sills be preserved as a warning to his ministers.
There is even an allusion of "Zhu Yun breaks the threshold".
His Majesty Li Er straightened up and glanced at Li Yuanjing.
First, Ruan Xian, who relies on his broad-minded talent, and then Zhang Yu, who is made of clay and clay. Do you want to be one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest who travels in the mountains and springs, or a submissive Prime Minister?
His Majesty Li Er was actually a little unsure of Li Yuanjing's thoughts. It was said that he had always been wary of Li Yuanjing, but never believed that he could achieve anything great, but what happened today made him look at Li Yuanjing with admiration.
Ruan Xian retreated and Zhu Yun retreated, but he even started to play cryptic. The most important thing is...what does this person mean?
