Prince of Chaos

Chapter 500 The Childhood Journey of Emperor Wanli

Emperor Wanli tilted his head and looked at Zhu Changluo who was waving his brush on the table. When he saw how elegant and majestic Zhu Changluo's handwriting was, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Emperor Wanli's calligraphy attainments can also be among the best among the emperors of all dynasties.

And because he failed to go further and became the emperor of artists like Song Huizong, it may be necessary to mention the role of Zhang Juzheng.

When Emperor Wanli was young, Zhang Juzheng was not only the chief assistant of the Regent Binguo, but also the most important teacher of Emperor Wanli.At that time, their relationship could be described as a father and son, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Zhang Juzheng also devoted himself to the education of Emperor Wanli. In order to get Zhang Juzheng's praise, Emperor Wanli continued to work hard.

Emperor Wanli loved calligraphy when he was young. In order to let Zhang Juzheng praise his calligraphy, he has been working hard to practice calligraphy, expecting Zhang Juzheng to praise him.

When Emperor Wanli made some small achievements in calligraphy, he happily wrote a picture of "Bi Yu alone, forever protecting the destiny" and gave it to Zhang Juzheng. He spoke highly of Zhang Juzheng's status in his mind.

As a result, Zhang Juzheng saw that Emperor Wanli's mind was actually devoted to calligraphy instead of focusing on other studies.

In order to prevent the young emperor from going astray, Zhang Juzheng went to Shu Wanli Emperor the next day.

In his memorial, Zhang Juzheng also broke his heart for Emperor Wanli.

Zhang Juzheng said in the memorial: His Majesty's calligraphy has made great achievements, and it is no longer appropriate to spend too much energy on it, because calligraphy is always a trivial skill.Since ancient times, the sages and masters have governed the world with virtue, and the exquisite art is of no benefit to the common people.Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liang Yuan, Empress Chen, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Ningzong were all great musicians, painters, poets, and poets. Some of them also suffered the tragedy of subjugation.

Facing Zhang Juzheng's loyal admonitions, the young Emperor Wanli naturally could only obey, and gave up his favorite calligraphy.

Moreover, just after that year, that is, in the sixth year of Wanli, calligraphy was canceled from the daily curriculum of Emperor Wanli, leaving only classics and history.

However, Zhang Juzheng may never have imagined that his decision not only failed to create a holy king for Ming Dynasty, but also made the long river of history lose an emperor-level master of calligraphy.

So that when later generations commented on Emperor Wanli, they all focused on his neglect of government for more than 30 years.

If so, Emperor Wanli could continue to practice calligraphy and study calligraphy.

Maybe future generations will not only say that he is negligent in politics, but also look at this fatuous emperor who has been silently fighting all his life with the eyes of a genius.

Unfortunately, history has no ifs.In the original historical time and space, the fate of Emperor Wanli has long been a foregone conclusion. Not only did he fail to spend his life according to his own wishes, he also failed to devote himself to calligraphy.

Moreover, hundreds of years after his death, his underground palace was also opened suddenly under the banner of research.

Everything that accompanied him in the underground palace for hundreds of years also turned into ashes at that moment, losing all color.

In the end, his body also came to a sad end, which was a complete end to his life and death.

Now, the history in this time and space has changed.

Emperor Wanli looked at Zhu Changluo's words, his eyes were full of relief and emotion.

Emperor Wanli did not disturb Zhu Changluo to continue writing, he quietly watched what kind of surprise Zhu Changluo could give him in the end.

At this moment, Zhu Changluo's pen peak has turned around, and he wrote a chic and elegant cursive word "wind" along the underside of Yongmei. This character occupies three minutes of length, and when the pen is written down, it is a word "rain" that is as fast as rain .

Seeing Zhu Changluo's brushwork, Emperor Wanli applauded from the bottom of his heart, "Good!"

Then Emperor Wanli followed Zhu Changluo's pen and watched him continue to write other characters.

After the first five words were written, Zhu Changluo's writing paused habitually, and he didn't connect all the words together as the ancients did.

Taking advantage of Zhu Changluo's pause, Emperor Wanli also silently read the first sentence, "The wind and rain send spring back."

Zhu Changluo continued to write, and the freehand brushwork of the next sentence was still the same as that of the previous sentence.

This sentence Zhu Changluo wrote: "Flying snow welcomes spring"

Emperor Wanli looked at the two already written sentences, and he also compared the first two sentences of Lu You's divination operator in his mind.

The first two sentences of Lu You are: "Beside the broken bridge outside the post, there is no one left alone."

The beginning of these two sentences is full of endless loneliness, which is in stark contrast to the first two sentences written by Zhu Changluo.

Just when Emperor Wanli was thinking about the artistic conception of these two sentences, which one is higher and which one is lower.

Zhu Changluo has already finished writing the upper part of this divination operator.

Emperor Wanli looked at the next two sentences, and said softly, "It's already a cliff of hundreds of feet of ice, but there are still beautiful flowers and branches."

These twelve characters instantly depicted a cold plum blossom for Emperor Wanli, which can bloom beautifully in an extremely cold environment, not a picture of aloofness.

Emperor Wanli was excited. He knew that Zhu Changluo's plum chanting poem was destined to be famous all over the world just based on the four sentences above and the artistic conception of the picture.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli is also honored, because the writer of the lyrics is his son, the crown prince of Ming Dynasty!

The son is so promising, as a father, how can there be no reason not to be excited?

Chen Ju carefully studied the ink next to Zhu Changluo, looking at the words written by Zhu Changluo, he also admired them very much.

If anyone in Daming knew Zhu Changluo's literary talents best, then that person was Chen Ju!
When Zhu Changluo was five years old, he followed him to study in the Lijian. Chen Ju knew that Zhu Changluo's literary talent had always been amazing during these years of studying.

Especially the "Dream of Red Mansions" that Zhu Changluo gave him to write. There are also a lot of poems and sentences in this book, although most of them are incomplete or even mediocre.

But how old was Zhu Changluo at that time?

Therefore, Chen Ju was extremely impressed by Zhu Changluo's literary talents. After he met Zhu Changluo, he finally knew what it means to be intelligent and natural, and what it means to be born knowing it.

Although Zhu Changluo has always emphasized that the Dream of Red Mansions was written by Mr. Cao, Chen Ju also checked for a long time, and even sent many people to Nanjing to investigate during the period, but still did not find out anything about Mr. Cao. legend.

Therefore, there has always been a bold speculation in Chen Ju's mind. He believes that Zhu Changluo is the reincarnation of a saint. Otherwise, how could he have such a talent at such a young age?
