Han Shizu

Chapter 1611 Gray beard and hair
"Haha, you boy, you are brave enough. For so many years, you are the only kid who dares to say that my handwriting is not good-looking!" There was a burst of laughing and cursing from Emperor Liu in Chongzheng Hall, but judging from his tone, there was no sullenness, but rather happy.

The Four Treasures of the Study were placed horizontally on the table, and beside it were three figures, one big, two small, the Emperor Liu was standing, the emperor's grandson Liu Wenhuan was on his feet, and his chin rested on the edge of the table, and the four-year-old Liu Wenji, who was short, simply sat on the table superior.

Emperor Liu's laughter was directed at Liu Wenji. He loved these two grandsons equally, and today he ordered someone to bring them to the East Palace to practice calligraphy with him.

Just finished writing a piece of calligraphy, the childish words were not taboo, when Emperor Liu asked how they were writing, the young Liu Wenji gave a more truthful answer.

Although Liu Wenji didn't know much about things, he knew instinctively that the old man in front of him wanted to please.Emperor Liu's smiling expression was still contagious, so he changed his words a little and said, "It's not that my grandson said that my grandfather's handwriting is not good-looking, but it's not as good-looking as my husband's handwriting!"

The crisp voice hit his ears, and Emperor Liu was even happier. He raised his hand and tapped Liu Wenji's forehead: "If you compare the characters taught by the East Palace with me, then you are bullying me. They want to earn their living by writing and gain fame. That's called calligraphy, my grandfather and I don't rely on pen and ink for a living, nothing compares to it."

Liu Wenji obviously didn't understand the meaning of Emperor Liu's words. Seeing Emperor Liu laugh, he also laughed.On the side, Liu Wenhuan, who had already entered school, was quieter, staring at Emperor Liu's new work with bright eyes, and muttering in his mouth.

"Wen Huan, what are you muttering about? Have you seen any tricks?" Seeing his serious look, Emperor Liu reached out and touched Liu Wenhuan's head, and asked.

Liu Wenhuan raised his head, with a little shyness on his immature face, and said: "My grandson is not good at learning, and I don't know a word."

Looking along Liu Wenhuan's finger, Emperor Liu said with a benevolent face, "This character is pronounced '罴', and it is a fierce brown bear!"

Liu Wenhuan seemed to have learned it again, and looked a little happy, and asked curiously, "Is this your new poem?"

"No!" Emperor Liu shook his head and laughed at himself: "Your grandfather didn't have any talent for poetry. He wrote a few clumsy poems in his early years. Thinking about them now makes me feel ashamed!"

After speaking, Emperor Liu's tone was full of emotion, and he said leisurely: "As for this poem, it was written by a great man!"

"Great man?" Liu Wenhuan became more curious, and asked, "Is there anyone greater than grandfather in this world? Could it be some ancient emperor?"

Emperor Liu couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "Using the emperor to describe it is an insult to his old man, but it is indeed a great talent, including the universe, covering the world, and caring about the common people, he can be called a generation of sages.

Zeng Jin, I also admire and respect him very much, but if my grandfather lives like this, I am afraid that he will also be the target of his old man."

Seeing Emperor Liu's praise, Liu Wenhuan frowned slightly, and said: "If there are such people in the world, they should be arrested and questioned as soon as possible to avoid future troubles!"

Hearing his words, Emperor Liu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, patted Liu Wenhuan's head again, and said nothing more.His eyes were calm and deep, and he fell on the poem on the table, which read:

Unique heroes drive tigers and leopards,
No hero is afraid of Xiong Wei.

Meihua rejoices in the snow,
It is not uncommon for flies to freeze to death.

The teacher's poems are always full of a different kind of charm, heart-wrenching and yearning.Even Emperor Liu, a feudal and dictatorial emperor, still maintains a kind of admiration from the bottom of his heart, of course, just because he is not in the same era.
"Officials!" Yan Tuo walked in at this time and bowed.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu became interested, waved at him, and said, "Come and see, how about my new writing?"

Hearing this, Yan Tuo approached attentively, bowed his waist to browse through it with admiring eyes, and then began to praise the pattern: "Your Majesty's writing style is powerful, flexible and unrestrained, which can be called excellent. This poem is even better. In short, I feel a majestic momentum coming towards me, and I want to surrender."

Hearing Yan Tuo's words, Emperor Liu didn't react yet, but the two brothers Liu Wenhuan and Liu Wenji stared at Yan Tuo in amazement. Liu Wenji was young and couldn't help himself, so he started giggling.

Yan Tuo was also stunned by this, looked at Emperor Liu awkwardly, and asked cautiously: "Official, did you say something wrong?"

Emperor Liu also raised a relaxed smile and waved his hand: "You are right, Wenji is laughing at your sincerity!"

Yan Tuo was still full of doubts and felt a little embarrassed, so he could only laugh along with him.

Emperor Liu turned to ask, "What's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Tuo immediately said joyfully: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang and his family have arrived in Beijing and are waiting for the edict at the gate of the palace!"

Hearing this news, Emperor Liu was delighted, and said, "Liu Fang has returned? What order are you waiting for? Why don't you call them into the palace? Go!"

"Yes! I will meet you right away!" Seeing that Emperor Liu was happy, Yan Tuo also smiled happily, and left the palace.

"Let's go, you two little ones, accompany grandfather to pick up your fourth uncle!" Emperor Liu took one in each hand and walked out of the hall.

Zhao Wang Liu Fang has been stationed in Hexi and Anxi these years. After seven or eight years, he only returned to Beijing three times. The most recent time was two years ago.

The distance creates beauty, and it is probably because of this separation that Emperor Liu has a deeper affection for these sons who are away, and is even more joyful for Liu Fang's return to Beijing.

Liu Fang's family is neat and tidy, and they all returned to Beijing.He now has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son Liu Wengong is about the same age as Liu Wenhuan, also eight years old, and the second son Liu Wentao is also six years old.

When he saw this family, Emperor Liu was also very emotional, and personally helped Liu Fang's family to salute: "Get up, get up!"

Liu Fang was obviously also a little excited, even hard to say, feeling Emperor Liu's tightly clenched hands, and said respectfully: "Father's birthday is approaching, and my son came back with his wife and daughter to celebrate his birthday. A few months earlier."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Emperor Liu repeated a few words to show his emphasis: "Father will be happy when he comes back!"

Looking carefully at Liu Fang, Emperor Liu said with emotion: "After all, the Northwest doesn't need the Central Plains. Your skin is much darker and rougher!"

Hearing this, Liu Fang said: "The wind, sand, and bitter cold, my son should only be tempered. It is also the prince's duty to defend the country and protect the frontier!"

"Good! As expected of my son, this pride has not diminished in the past, and my eagle has not changed!" Emperor Liu immediately praised: "You are also 30 years old, and you look more mature, with this body , still strong!"

As he spoke, Emperor Liu patted Liu Fang affectionately on the chest.

Liu Fang smiled back, but calmed down, looked at Emperor Liu with concern in his eyes, and said hesitantly, "Father, you"

"What's wrong? What's changed in me?" Seeing this, Emperor Liu spread out his hands, showing himself generously.

Liu Fang pointed out: "Your beard and hair."

Hearing this, Emperor Liu chuckled, with a candid look: "It's okay, but it's just a little white hair and beard. It's not surprising that people will grow old. When you reach my age, it seems that there may not be any I am young"

"Go, enter the hall to talk!"

Even though these years, Emperor Liu has paid special attention to his body, but his aging state is getting better day by day. This point does not depend on his personal will.

In the past, he only had a little white mixed between his beard and hair, but now, it is already half white.
