Chapter 401 "Seventeen Posts" and "Preface to Lanting Collection"

Ling Jing smiled wryly: "But I'm a civil servant, it's no use asking for a big gun?"

Speaking of this, he looked specifically at Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji understood, and smiled and said: "Second brother, Ling Jing is just a civil servant, if you give Ling Jing the bronze gun that your father gave you, I'm afraid it will be dusty, and my father may not be happy if he finds out.

So you better give me something else. "

Speaking of this, Li Shimin didn't give Li Shimin a chance to speak. He looked at Ling Jing and said with a smile: "Since my second brother is so generous, then I shouldn't be stingy. Didn't you fall in love with the book "Analyses" in my house? Is it an orphan?
I'm sending you off. "

Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Is it really given to the minister?"

Li Yuanji nodded slowly.

Ling Jing cupped his hands in ecstasy and said, "Thank you Your Highness, thank you Your Highness..."

Li Yuanji set the tone, and Li Shimin couldn't be stubborn anymore. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly said with a heartache: "I just got a copy of Wang Youjun's calligraphy, so I will reward you."

Ling Jing was stunned when he heard this, but didn't react immediately.

Li Yuanji's face changed, and he was shouting loudly in his heart.

Is it "Lanting Collection Preface"?

Is it "Lanting Collection Preface"?

Is it "Lanting Collection Preface"?

According to the rumors of later generations, the last owner of the original "Lanting Collection Preface" was Li Shimin.

It is rumored that Li Shimin loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and cherished "Lanting Collection Preface" so much that he would bring it to the mausoleum after his death.

As a result, people in later generations can only think about it if they want to see the authentic style of "Lanting Collection Preface".

Perhaps one day, with the advancement of technology and excavation technology of later generations, we can enter Li Shimin's Bijia Mountain, find out the truth of the rumors, and get a glimpse of the authentic style of "Lanting Collection Preface".

It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to visit Li Shimin's Bijia Mountain, and he didn't have the chance to find out whether the rumors were true or not.

However, he had the opportunity to have a glimpse of the authenticity of the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" earlier than the people of later generations, and it is now.

It would be even better if it could become his private possession.

After a hundred years, he can also use it to cushion the coffin board like Li Shimin.

Anyway, it is definitely better to put a coffin board for him than Li Shimin's coffin board for the authentic "Lanting Collection Preface".

After all, after Li Shimin died, the tomb would definitely rise.

As long as the mausoleum is erected, it is inevitable to be peeped.

If you meet a golden man who likes to open coffins and throw away corpses, not only will there be no bones left, but it may even destroy a national treasure such as "The Preface to the Lanting Collection".

So it is better for him to use it as a coffin board, anyway, he has already decided that when he is about to die, he will disappear quietly, without leaving any traces, and there will be absolutely no chance for his children and grandchildren to bury him in a grand manner .

After fully experiencing the culture of tomb robbery, he felt how glorious the descendants buried their ancestors, and how miserable it was when they were dug out.

If you meet unworthy descendants, maybe you will personally lead someone to dig your grave.

If this happens, it will be a real shame.

Thinking wildly, Li Yuanji's eyes fell on Li Shimin, he was eager to know whether the calligraphy post of "Wang Youjun" that Li Shimin said was the authentic "Lanting Collection Preface".

Ling Jing also came to his senses at this moment, staring at Li Shimin eagerly, and said tremblingly: "But... the real work of Wang Youjun?"

As a sage of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi was respected by scholars no matter when he was alive or after his death.

His calligraphy works are highly respected, not only invaluable, but also regarded as a favorite by many emperors, and also regarded as family heirlooms by many wealthy families.

As a scholar, Ling Jing had the opportunity to obtain Wang Xizhi's authentic works, how could he not be excited.

Not only him, Li Yuanji, who is not very obsessed with calligraphy, was excited.

Qu Tutong, Huang Junhan, Yin Qiao, Qin Qiong, Li Junxian, Zhang Gongjin and others were also excited, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Han Liang and others were even more excited and bared their teeth.

They're not just excited, they're jealous.

He was jealous that Li Shimin gave Ling Jing the original handwriting of Wang Xizhi, and he was also jealous that Ling Jing had the opportunity to own a copy of Wang Xizhi's original handwriting.

Yan Silu, Ouyang Xun, and Yu Shinan, who have always liked calligraphy and are good at calligraphy, almost ran out regardless of the rules to persuade Li Shimin to take back his order.

Yan Silu's reputation under Li Shimin's hands is not obvious, and he has never been a high-ranking official in his life, but he has a great-great-grandson who is well-known in the book world, and that is Yan Zhenqing.

Ouyang Xun's reputation under Li Shimin's hands is not low, but he seldom publicizes his reputation, because he is not only a bachelor under Li Shimin's hands, but also the leader of Li Jiancheng's palace.

When Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were fighting hard, he didn't dare to show his presence casually.

If anyone between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were to target him, then he would be cold.

His attainments in calligraphy are quite high, and the regular script he writes is the best in the world. Many people who admire him call his calligraphy "European Style". His son Ouyang Tong's calligraphy attainments are also not low. People who admire them call them 'big and small Europeans'.

His family can be said to be a calligraphy family, and it is precisely because of this that he values ​​Wang Xizhi's authentic works more than anything else.

Yu Shinan's reputation under Li Shimin's hands is not only high, but also his status is not low. Among the bachelors in Xiuwenguan, he and Fang Xuanling rank first together, and they are in charge of Xiuwenguan together.

His calligraphy may not be as good as Ouyang Xun's, but it does not hinder his love for Wang Xizhi's authentic works.

Because he is a reader.

A very knowledgeable scholar, known as the Five Wonders.

Among them, erudition is a must, and there are four musts of virtue, loyalty, writing, and calligraphy.

After hearing Ling Jing's words, Li Shimin laughed and said, "Can I reward people with fake rewards?"

Li Shimin gave it all, so he stopped acting like a little girl.

Although my heart still hurts, at least I am very open-minded and generous on the surface.

"Keming hurt me."

Ouyang Xun saw that Li Shimin really wanted to reward Ling Jing with Wang Xizhi's original work, and wailed with grief.

Yu Shinan, Yan Silu, Fang Xuanling and others nodded approvingly.

If it weren't for Du Ruhui's defeat and defeat, Li Shimin wouldn't have spent such a large amount of money.

Even though Du Ruhui was their colleague, and he suffered a heavy blow, it might take a long time to recover, but this did not prevent them from complaining about Du Ruhui.

They are just colleagues, not father and son, so they don't have to carefully take care of Du Ruhui's emotions.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity."

After Ling Jing confirmed that the Wang Xizhi calligraphy that Li Shimin rewarded him was authentic, he bowed to Li Shimin almost without hesitation to thank him.

There are no pleasantries, no politeness.

There is even a sense of eagerness to get the reward.

Even though he behaved so unbearably, none of the people present laughed at him.

Because in their words, their performance might be worse than Ling Jing.

Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry when he was teased by Ling Jing, "Are you really impolite?"

Ling Jing stood up and said with an excited smile: "I dare not be polite, I am afraid that if I am polite, Wang Youjun's book stickers will be gone."

"Hahaha……"

Li Shimin was completely amused by Ling Jing.

Qu Tutong, Huang Junhan and others who were not deeply greedy for the original "Lanting Collection Preface" were also amused.

Only Ouyang Xun and others still looked regretful.

After laughing, Li Shimin said to Ling Jing: "Don't worry, I always believe what I say. I said I will reward you with Wang Youjun's book stickers, and I will definitely reward you."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin also joked: "If you don't believe me, I will send someone back to the palace to get it now."

Ling Jing nodded without hesitation.

Li Shimin laughed out loud again, and immediately ordered Duan Zhigan, who was beside him, to go back to the palace to get Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

Li Yuanji discovered that when Li Shimin faced different situations, he would order different people to do things.

This is the benefit of having a lot of talents at hand.

This is also the benefit of all the heroes in the world.

Unlike him, there are only one or two people around to listen to him.

If there is an important task to be handed over, there is not even a decent listener around.

However, Li Yuanji's greed for the authentic work of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" disappeared when Li Shimin ordered Duan Zhigan to pick up the signature.

Because he was close, he could hear clearly.

When Li Shimin ordered Duan Zhigan to pick up the book posts, he said "Seventeen Posts" instead of "Lanting Collection Preface".

Although "Seventeen Posts" is also one of Wang Xizhi's representative works, it is not as famous as "Preface to Lanting Collection", nor is it as precious as "Preface to Lanting Collection".

It's not easy for him to set up his face to 'rob' from Ling Jing's hands, it's not worth it.

After all, in his capacity, it is still very easy to find an authentic Wang Xizhi.

For example, he is now sending someone to pass on a message to the people of the Li family in Zhaozhou, saying that as long as the people of the Li family in Zhaozhou can get him an authentic work by Wang Xizhi, he will let the Li family of Zhaozhou go.

People from the Li family in Zhaozhou will definitely try their best to help him get Wang Xizhi's authentic works.

Maybe there will be an authentic Wang Xizhi that has not been recorded in history, or has never been shown to anyone.

After all, the Li family of Zhaozhou is a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. It can be traced back to Li Mu of Zhao State in the pre-Qin period. There must be some unknown background and unknown treasures.

Even if you don't have Wang Xizhi's authentic works, you can exchange your family's treasures with other big families, or someone who has Wang Xizhi's authentic works.

Therefore, it is really easy for him to find an authentic work by Wang Xizhi.

There's no need to brazenly rob those under your hands.

If it is "Lanting Collection Preface", then it can break through the lower limit, if not, then there is no need.

"Okay, let's continue the competition."

"Who's next?"

After Li Shimin ordered Duan Zhigan, after Duan Zhigan left the high platform, he started the competition again.

……
