Li Mi said: "If King Jianning wants to welcome His Majesty, why not create auspiciousness in Longyou? Why do you have to go to Lingwu?"
"Du Hongjian is the great hero who welcomed His Majesty to the throne. What are the benefits of colluding with King Jianning?"
These two rhetorical questions made Li Heng feel relieved.
Indeed, due to Du Hongjian's status, there was no need to participate in the struggle for succession to the throne.
He is definitely qualified to be the prime minister. No matter who succeeds to the throne, Du Hongjian will have great contributions.
They would all imprison Du Hongjian.
With Du Hongjian's political wisdom, colluding with King Jianning would be the most stupid thing.
You must know that the prestige of the East Palace is not low now, and Prince Jianning is just a prince assigned to Longyou.
Li Mi said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the auspiciousness should be true. It is better to block the road than to open up the matter of words. I would like to ask your majesty to send a secretary to Lingwu to determine whether the auspiciousness is true or false, so as to rectify the hearts of the people in the world!"
Li Heng nodded. Now the court is in a mess. To unravel this mess, naturally we have to start from the very beginning.
Li Heng said: "Recruit Hanlin scholars to draft the decree."
The Hanlin bachelor came to the front of the hall, and Li Heng said:
"The imperial edict ordered Yan Zhenqing, the chief censor, and Li Mi, the secretary-supervisor, to go to Lingwu to inspect the dragon carcass for auspiciousness."
Hanlin scholars are the emperor's ministers, and it is their job to polish the imperial edict.
An imperial edict in forty-six parallel prose was quickly written. The emperor read it briefly and then ordered the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stamp it with a jade seal.
"Which prime minister is on duty today?"
Yu Chaoen immediately said: "Your Majesty, today is Prime Minister Wei's turn."
"Send it to the Zhengshi Hall immediately and ask the Zhengshi Hall to use its seal."
When Li Heng heard that it was Wei Jiansu's turn, he did not deliberately delay it, but directly asked the eunuch to deliver the imperial edict to the Political Affairs Hall.
After receiving the imperial edict, the Political Affairs Hall quickly reached a consensus.
Yan Zhenqing was the first to impeach Du Hongjian. Although he and the prime ministers did not deal with him, he was recognized by the world as a minister who dared to directly remonstrate with the emperor.
Sending Yan Zhenqing was naturally an arrangement that everyone in the court believed in.
Li Mi, the secretary-supervisor, had a transcendent status in the court. Although he was only a secretary-supervisor, many court ministers were recommended by Li Mi.
Li Mi is also famous for his dedication to the world. Although he has a close relationship with the emperor, he will not deceive the world for the emperor.
This imperial edict was quickly stamped by the Political Affairs Hall and immediately gained support from the ministers.
Yan Zhenqing and Li Mi prepared to go to Lingwu to investigate, and the storm in the court was temporarily suppressed.
But everyone was staring at Yan Zhenqing and Li Mi, waiting for the results of their investigation in Lingwu.
Yan Zhenqing, the censor Zhongcheng, who had received the order from the emperor and the political affairs hall, was packing his things at home and preparing to leave for Lingwu.
"Grandpa, Vice Envoy Zhang is here."
Deputy envoy Zhang is Zhang Duanyang, the deputy envoy staying in the backyard of the Longyou Governor's Mansion. Recently, Zhang Duanyang often visited Yan Zhenqing's house.
Even Yan Zhenqing's son didn't understand how a scholar like me could talk so happily with a vulgar warrior like Zhang Duanyang.
Yan Zhenqing was writing. When he heard his son's announcement, he immediately stopped writing and said:
"Go and ask Deputy Zhang to come to my study!"
Yan Zhenqing's son invited Zhang Duanyang, who was full of muscles, to Yan Zhenqing's bedroom.
Yan Zhenqing treated Zhang Duanyang like an old friend for many years, invited him to his desk and asked.
"Brother Duanyang, what do you think of my calligraphy?"
"Brother Qingchen, your mind is confused and your words are also confused."
Yan Zhenqing, also known as Qingchen, and Zhang Duanyang directly called him by his cousin, which is enough to show their close relationship.
If Yan Zhenqing's son saw it, his jaw would probably drop in surprise.
Yan Zhenqing has an upright character. He has had no friends since he became an official. Even when he treats his family and relatives, he is very serious.
To be so close to a military roughneck like Zhang Duanyang was like the sun rising from the west.
Zhang Duanyang is a professor who was obsessed with calligraphy when he was young.
When learning calligraphy, Yan Zhenqing is a person who cannot be avoided no matter what.
Yan Zhenqing had exquisite calligraphy and was good at regular script. He first learned from Chu Suiliang, and later learned from Zhang Xu and learned his writing skills. His regular script was dignified and majestic, and his running script was powerful. He created the "Yan style" regular script, which had a great influence on later generations.
Many people learn calligraphy from Yan style characters.
When Zhang Duanyang was studying calligraphy, he mainly copied Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy.
There was nothing to do in Fengxiang Mansion, and Zhang Duanyang couldn't go out to fight in the city, so he thought of his hobby when he was young.
Zhang Duanyang personally wrote a greeting note and asked to see Yan Zhenqing.
This greeting note was handwritten by Zhang Duanyang, but it was written in Liu script.
Liu Ti is a font created by Liu Gongquan, a great legalist in the late Tang Dynasty.
When Liu Gongquan created the Liu style character, he also derived it from Yan Zhenqing's Yan style, and the two have many things in common.
However, the Liu style calligraphy has its own style and looks more cold and aloof than the Yan style calligraphy. After Yan Zhenqing saw this greeting letter, he immediately invited Zhang Duanyang to discuss calligraphy together.
Zhang Duanyang himself is a calligraphy enthusiast. When he studied calligraphy, he was very knowledgeable and absorbed the calligraphy theories of many calligraphy masters after the Tang Dynasty.
Sure enough, after a conversation, Yan Zhenqing, who was obsessed with calligraphy, immediately became good friends with Zhang Duanyang.
The calligraphy is like the person, Zhang Duanyang has a straightforward personality, and he and Yan Zhenqing, who has a straightforward nature, became good friends in calligraphy.
The two exchanged calligraphy and found a close friend just like Boya Ziqi.
For Zhang Duanyang, being able to receive personal guidance from Yan Zhenqing helped his calligraphy improve rapidly.
The joints that I couldn't figure out when I was practicing calligraphy when I was young also broke through under the guidance of Yan Zhenqing.
Yan Zhenqing was shocked by the later calligraphy system brought by Zhang Duanyang.
Although there were two calligraphy masters, Yan and Liu, in the Tang Dynasty, calligraphy was still developing in later generations.
The Song Dynasty also produced many famous calligraphers, and the theories of these calligraphers were of great inspiration to Yan Zhenqing, who had been stuck in his current state for a long time.
In addition, later generations not only made great breakthroughs in the theory of calligraphy, but also made great progress in pen, ink, paper and inkstone in later generations.
Zhang Duanyang brought his own writing brush and had just discussed two sentences of Yan Zhenqing's new calligraphy with Yan Zhenqing.
Yan Zhenqing put down his brush and said, "Brother Duanyang, the imperial court has just issued a decree asking me to go to Lingwu to investigate the Xiangrui case."
No wonder Yan Zhenqing was upset. Zhang Duanyang naturally knew about the auspicious storm caused by the dinosaur fossils.
This turmoil has now spread to Longyou, and Li Daoyuan has been worrying about how to deal with it recently.
Zhang Duanyang felt relieved when he heard that the imperial court sent Yan Zhenqing to investigate.
Yan Zhenqing has an upright character and does not belong to any party in the court.
Later generations only knew that he was a calligrapher, but they did not know that Yan Zhenqing was very good at writing articles, serving as an official, and even leading troops in battles.
During the rebellion in Hedong, Yan Zhenqing was the governor of Pingyuan, and Pingyuan County was located in Hedong, which is the home territory of Anlu Mountain.
Yan Zhenqing led his troops to defend the plains and held back many Anlu Mountain troops in the rear, achieving great military success.
Yan Zhenqing organized a rebel army and held back Anlushan's 100,000 troops in Hedong. He also repeatedly defeated the troops sent by Anlushan to suppress them.
After Emperor Lingwu ascended the throne, the situation in Hedong further deteriorated. Yan Zhenqing led his troops to move to Hebei and still took the lead in resisting the puppet Yan.
After Li Heng Lingwu ascended the throne, he admired Yan Zhenqing, a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and summoned him to Fengxiang Mansion as the censor Zhongcheng, responsible for the inspection and impeachment of hundreds of officials.
After Yan Zhenqing took office as Yushi Zhongcheng, he was indeed upright and upright. He was not afraid of the powerful and impeached the lawless ministers.
The originally lax court discipline became clear and clear after Yan Zhenqing took office. Even if the emperor made a mistake, Yan Zhenqing would write a letter to directly advise him.
When Yan Zhenqing went to investigate Lingwu, he would naturally not cling to others and deliberately fabricate lies.
Anyway, the Diplodocus fossils excavated by Zhang Tianlun in Lingwu are real.
Moreover, Zhang Tianlun’s excavation of fossils was not instigated by King Jianning.
Seeing Zhang Duanyang's indifference, Yan Zhenqing asked: "Brother Duanyang, aren't you worried at all?"
"worry about what?"
"The reason why I went to Lingwu this time is to expose Du Hongjian's scam! Your prince is in the trap, aren't you worried at all?"
Zhang Duanyang smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? This has nothing to do with the auspicious event or King Jianning."
"Besides, if this auspicious sign is true, don't we still need Brother Qingchen to investigate?"
Yan Zhenqing looked at Zhang Duanyang and saw the magnanimity in his eyes. Even he, who had always been upright, hesitated.
Could it be that this auspicious case really has nothing to do with King Jianning?
However, Yan Zhenqing has a strong character, but he is an experienced politician.
Yan Zhenqing said kindly: "Brother Duanyang, even if the auspicious case really has nothing to do with King Jianning, the East Palace will not let it go."
The reason why this Xiangrui case has caused such a big fuss is because it involves the interests of so many parties.
As long as the auspiciousness is false, the officials of the East Palace will also attack those involved with King Jianning.
Yan Zhenqing said kindly: "When I go to Lingwu this time, I will never protect anyone."
Zhang Duanyang said with a relaxed expression: "This matter has nothing to do with my prince. Besides, does the auspicious thing have to be fake?"
Zhang Duanyang smiled slightly, then took out a copybook and said:
"This is what I have written recently. Please give it a try, Brother Qingchen!"
This is what Zhang Duanyang copied from Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Tower Stele", and it is also his most proud recent calligraphy work.
Zhang Duanyang discovered that his body in the game had stronger control over the brush.
His calligraphy skills improved greatly during the discussion with Yan Zhenqing, and now Zhang Duanyang practices calligraphy by copying in the game.
Yan Zhenqing opened the copybook and shouted after seeing the words: "Okay!"
The words that penetrated the back of the paper jumped out on the paper one by one. What Zhang Duanyang wrote was a poem.
Lying stiffly in a lonely village without feeling sorry for myself,
I still think of it as the country's garrison platform.
Lying down late at night listening to the wind and rain,
The Iron Horse Glacier comes into my dream.
When I read the last sentence, I just felt that the words and the poem echoed each other, and it really conveyed the momentum of a tiger rushing thousands of miles away.
Yan Zhenqing looked at the copybook and couldn't put it down. He couldn't help but said: "What a good calligraphy! What's more, it's a good poem!"
