Chapter 172: Champion Post
A few days later, Xu Huang urgently reported that Yuan Shao, Hebei, planned to dress up in disguise and arrived in Hedong, asking to meet Chen Fu.
"Haha, Yuan Shao has indeed sent someone here." Chen Fu held the report anxiously and said with a smile.
"Hebei has many talents. If Yuan Shao still doesn't know how to contact his lord, then he will not be qualified to control the situation thousands of miles of Jizhou." Li Rudao next to him.
After Chen Fu nodded, he said, "Wenyou, send someone to represent Gu to pick him up in person. After all, Yuan Shao is the general of the court and the ruler of Jizhou. It is also the key to our army's troops going out of the Central Plains in the future. We should give him enough face."
"I understand that I plan to order Zuo Fengyi prefect Dong Cheng to receive it, and General Lingyu Zhao Yun is responsible for the safety of the road." Li Rudao.
"Yes, Zilong is among the top ten fierce generals. His escort is enough to show his importance to Xu Ziyuan's arrival. Make arrangements quickly and do not delay," said Chen Fu.
"promise"
"Lord" At this time, Jia Xu suddenly ran in outside with excitement, and seemed to be holding a package in his hand.
"Wenhe, here you come," Chen Fu said with a smile.
"Lord, I have a treasure to give it to you." Jia Xu gasped and clasped his fists.
Hearing this, Chen Fu and Li Ru looked at each other, and Li Ru immediately smiled and said, "Today, the sun is coming out from the west. You, Jia Wenhe, actually gave the lord treasure. If you remember well, once you played chess, your lord's set of ivory jade chess pieces were taken away by you."
"It's not all. Last time, Gu had a set of Han Feizi's "Talking Hard" here. It was a rare Gu book. It was Wen Ji's dowry. Before Gu finished reading it, he fooled Gu and said he would go fishing. In the end, he was taken away by him for no reason. The key is that he hasn't paid back yet," said Chen Fu.
Jia Xu was stunned and then said a little embarrassedly: "My salary is too low, I am ashamed, ashamed."
Hearing this, Chen Fu laughed and said that in the world, only Li Ru and Jia Xu can talk to him so unrestrainedly! There is also a genius Guo Fengxiao.
Since ancient times, between the monarch and the ministers, they are not afraid of being scolded by the monarch, but are afraid of being polite. Because once they are polite, it means that you are an outsider. Since ancient times, in their great power and status, they cannot compare with the love between the monarch and the ministers. With this love, even if you are an ordinary county magistrate, no one dares to offend. Without this love, you are as tall as the prime minister, and you are still trembling and walking on thin ice.
"Wenhe, are you sending He Bao to your lord today?" After some teasing, Li Ru looked at the package in Jia Xu's hand and said curiously.
After hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Lord, this treasure is definitely not inferior to the jade ivory chess piece, and it is not even as good as ten sets."
"Is that true?" Chen Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you want to see it?"
After hearing this, Jia Xu walked to the desk table on the side and carefully opened the package. He saw Jia Xu sweeping his right hand, a white, delicate, soft and even paper that is not only bright in color, but also has a texture. Especially on this paper, it seems that a piece of cursive script is written. The shape of the characters is formed by a stroke, like flowing clouds and flowing water, pulling the grass, connecting up and down, and a strange shape is connected.
"Good word"
"Good paper"
Chen Fu and Li Ru shouted at the same time, but Li Ru was talking about words, while Chen Fu looked at paper.
"This is..." Chen Fu ran over immediately and looked carefully with excitement.
"This is Boying's calligraphy." Li Ru was surprised that Zhang Zhi, Zhang Boying, a master of contemporary calligraphy, a counselor from the court, and a calligraphy lecturer from Fenghao Academy, and was one of the first to enter Fenghao Academy.
"good"
"No wonder, only Bo Ying's cursive script can have such momentum. Today, the Confucians admire the two of them most in calligraphy. One is Zhong Yao, and the other is Bo Ying." Li Ru smiled.
"Only good paper can only show its charm. Just because this paper was made, I went to Boying personally and asked him to try it. This is Boying's champion post," said Jia Xu.
"Cai Hou's paper is one of the best papers today. There are some in a certain mansion, but the color is still dark yellow and concave. How can such a moving look come from?" Li Ru couldn't help but stroke it for a moment. After this model, he said shockedly: "What a smooth feeling, with this paper, Bo Ying's post can be passed down to future generations!"
"Zuo Bo has developed it." At this time, Chen Fu said seriously.
"Good lord, Zuo Bo has made in-depth improvements to Cai Hou's papermaking technology. Just two days ago, he officially made this paper. After careful observation, Ma Jun gave a very high evaluation and said that once Tianqiaoyuan can successfully break through the difficulties of printing, the world will completely abandon the heavy bamboo slips," said Jia Xu.
"Okay, okay" Chen Fu nodded heavily and said, "Tianqiaoyuan, indeed, has lived up to my high hopes. I will send an order to reward Zuo Bo with a thousand gold medal and be promoted to the deputy director of Tianqiaoyuan."
"No" Jia Xu responded and smiled and said, "In addition, Ma Jun suggested that this paper is called auxiliary paper to commemorate the prime minister's merits."
Chen Fu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "When did he change his career and flatter him? This was obviously developed by Zuo Bo, so what does it have to do with Gu? This paper is called Zuo Bo Paper."
After hearing this, Jia Xu admired: "No"
"Ziyi's paper, beautiful and brilliant light, Boying's pen, and thought through the sound. This masterpiece, from today, will be hung in the lonely study. This is indeed a treasure of the world, unique," said Chen Fu.
"promise"
"Lord, lord..." At this time, Hu Cheer suddenly came in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Chen Fu turned around and said.
"Report to the lord, I just got the news. The counselor Zhang Zhi left the mansion half a quarter of an hour ago." Hu Cheer said with a heavy face.
"What" Li Ru and Jia Xu trembled.
"You're saying it once." Chen Fu didn't react for a while.
"Lord, counselor Zhang Zhi, Zhang Boying died of illness," Hu Cheer repeated with his fists.
"Impossible, I just came from the Zhang Mansion. Although Boying was a little weak, how could he die?" Jia Xu said sadly.
"Send someone to investigate immediately. Do you want to know what's going on?" Chen Fu said sternly.
"promise"
...
In the afternoon, Chen Fu stood alone in the study, looking at Zhang Zhi's last calligraphy hanging on the wall, "Champion Post", with a hint of sadness on his face.
"Lord, Boying was on Zuo Bo's paper. Shortly after writing the championship post, he said loudly that my heart was enough and left with a smile."
"Boying's health is not good at all. If it weren't for the treatment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he would probably have left last year. This time he achieved enlightenment."
Recalling the content of Li Ru's investigation, Chen Fu stepped forward, gently wiped the champion post, and murmured: "Boying, don't worry, after Gu pacifying the world, Gu Hui will build an extremely huge museum and give your masterpiece. He belongs to everyone, Gu Hui will let everyone remember that you, Zhang Boying, is the first person to leave a record on Zuo Bo's paper."
"Your cursive script, your indifference and prosperity will be passed down forever and shine on the future generations."
Not long after, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and He An walked in from outside and said respectfully: "Lord, the Minister of State is here to ask..."
"No need to ask, I want to go to Zhang's mansion to pay homage and prepare a carriage," said Chen Fu.
"promise"
