Journey to the West from Daqin

Li Jue planned to let the evil spirit scare Lu Buwei and force him to make a confession, and then he would drive the evil spirit away and kill him.

But to do this, the first thing he needs to do is to know where the evil spirits are.

And when the time comes, he will go to find Lu Buwei and ask him to write a confession, which is a great credit. He doesn't want it, but he doesn't want to give it to Zongcheng either.

After hesitating for a while, Li Jue came to the eldest son's foreign residence.

Li Jue went up to ask for an interview, but his subordinates found out who he was, and found out that he was just a seventh-rank director, so he immediately dismissed him.

The person on duty was the head guard, and Zhang Li, the retainer who handed Fusu the sword when Fusu later committed suicide.

If Zhang Li is also a talent, he followed Fusu to death, and after Fusu committed suicide, he also followed Fusu to wipe his neck.

I have followed Fusu all my life.

However, Li Jue would not want such a subordinate, at least not as a true confidant.

Because the master wanted to die, his subordinates couldn't persuade him in time, instead they handed over the sword.

In fact, if Zhang Li tried to persuade him at the time, or forcibly knocked Fusu unconscious to prevent him from committing suicide, after this time, Fusu would not be looking for death or life.

Sometimes, he seeks death to show his loyalty and filial piety, but if he is given a step down, then everyone will be happy.

Fortunately, although Zhang Li has no eyesight, he has brains. He has met Li Jue several times.

After all, he was Fusu's confidant, who followed Fusu through life and death, so he had met Li Jue several times.

He knew that Fusu really liked Li Jue, and he had heard Fusu mention Li Jue's name more than once.

He just scolded the left and right guards and said: "Presumptuous, blind your dog eyes, don't you know that this is the eldest son's good friend Li Jue Ting Zhang?"

Li Jue smiled and said, "You're welcome."

The guard didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and said: "But he said that he is the director of the prison in the Dongcheng Department, not the head of the pavilion."

Manager Zhang Li's eyes lit up, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Director Li for being promoted, please come in quickly, the eldest son is writing calligraphy."

Then he invited Li Jue in, and kicked the guard when he got there.

He glared at him, and cursed in a low voice: "In the future, keep your eyes bright, don't let everyone block you."

Leaving the guards looking at each other in blank dismay, they probably couldn't figure it out for a while, isn't the executioner despised by everyone now, why the eldest son is still regarded as a treasure! ?

After inviting Li Jue in, the manager came back.

The subordinate couldn't help but asked: "Boss Zhang, what kind of ability does that man have to allow you to treat him so courteously?"

They don't believe that an executioner can do anything. Is killing a head still a specialty?

Mr. Zhang Li said, "What do you know? Now the eldest son is writing calligraphy in the mansion, and his calligraphy is not as good as those of the great Confucians. Even Kong Jie, a Confucian giant, exaggerated that the son is a master of calligraphy."

The subordinates nodded one after another. They all knew about these honors.

but.

What does this have to do with the executioner?

Zhang Lidao: "Outsiders don't know it, but I know it when I follow the eldest son. The calligraphy that the eldest son has been copying is written by Director Li Jue!"

hiss.

When everyone heard this, they gasped.

Unexpectedly, that mere executioner was actually a master of calligraphy.

Fusu, the eldest son of their master, made all the officials ashamed and the great Confucianism convinced, but the copy post was actually written by the executioner.

In this way, what a terrible calligraphic attainment the executioner must have!

They don't know a lot of big characters, and they regard the calligraphy that is popular in the city today as something elegant and keep them at a respectful distance.

Unexpectedly, such a calligrapher was almost offended by them.

Zhang Liheng said: "You are also lucky. Someone said that besides immortals, Li Jue's calligraphy is the most beautiful."

"The eldest son loves calligraphy, and treats Li Jue very politely. If you let him know that you almost stopped his friend, the famous calligraphers in Xianyang today will definitely take your skin off."

Everyone trembled, and hurriedly begged Manager Zhang Li to intercede for them.

Li Jue didn't even know that he was already so famous.

After all, he hasn't written calligraphy for a long time since he beheaded King Yan, and he has also been separated from the high-level officials of Daqin for a long time.

He didn't know that in the eyes of these ministers, he had already become the number one calligrapher in the world. Apart from immortals, he was the best.

However, these ministers always believed that calligraphy is only a side effect, which can cultivate one's temperament, but one should not flock to it.

After all, Daqin is still mainly engaged in military industry, and the upper and lower levels are even more martial arts.

And the way of calligraphy is the lowest level.

They can learn, but they can't indulge in it, let alone put the cart before the horse.

but.

In the dead of night, when they wrote a good handwriting, they still couldn't help being complacent, and even couldn't help showing it out.

It's just that when I think that there are people who write better than them, I feel bad.

As for Li Jue.

After he was brought in and handed over to a maid named Hongyu to lead the way, he had been paying attention to the eldest son's mansion.

This mansion is not too big. As the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, living here is really shabby.

but.

This is also the brilliance of the Daqin royal family. They are not arrogant and extravagant with the princes and princes, and they are absolutely not pampered.

Even if the prince's children have no military merits, they will not be able to inherit the family business and will be laughed at by other nobles.

Fusu also fought with Meng Tian in the north and south, and made great military exploits, so he is called the eldest son.

However, he has not been conferred the title of king yet, just like Mr. Wei was conferred the title of Mr. Xinling, but he is only the eldest son.

In the later period, Fusu would follow Meng Tian to fight in the north and south, making military exploits and preparing for his future ascension to the throne.

But without Li Jue's support, it is estimated that his life would be finished.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Li Jue could even see Fusu and several scribes discussing calligraphy and poetry in the garden.

He sighed, how could it be possible for a prince who loves poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting so much to be valued by Ying Zheng.

It's no wonder that Yingzheng is 30 years old in Fusu, and he is sent to the frontiers to let him make military exploits.

This kid is really incompetent. If he showed bravery in front of Yingzheng and pointed fingers at the military, Yingzheng would not always feel that Fusu was weak and bully.

Need to experience, and then release.

Fusu didn't expect Li Jue to come. He was complacent about writing a good poem and handwriting for himself.

Scholars also complimented him very much, among them was Ye Xiu, a disciple of the Confucian giant Kong Jie, and as an admonishing doctor, Ye Xiu was a talker in the court.

He can discuss political affairs and put forward opinions, but whether he accepts it or not depends on whether Ying Zheng has Li Shimin's open-mindedness.

Advising and advising a doctor is not considered Jiuqing, but he still has a place in the court, but at this time he is like a flatterer, constantly flattering Fusu.

Originally, Ye Xiu still had the image of a superior person, but after entering the court, he gradually got lost in the intrigues of the court, and was drunk with money.

In the final analysis, power is too charming.

The great Confucianist Ye Xiu also knew that he had to hug his thighs in the court, and Fusu undoubtedly had a very thick thigh.

So he used to be Fusu's half calligraphy master, and he often followed Fusu's side.

Now that he knows that Fusu's calligraphy is far superior to his, he decisively admits that Fusu is good, and then retreats to become a master of poetry and songs.

Point out Fusu's poems and songs.

He instructed Fusu to write this poem, so he was very proud of it at this time.

Ye Xiudao: "Eldest Prince's poem is quite detached, even if Doctor Qu is still alive, he should be willing to bow down."

The other scribes couldn't help admiring Ye Xiu's words.

No wonder he can become a doctor, no wonder he can learn from the supreme master, this level of flattery is beyond his reach.

Fu Su was also a little proud, and said: "Master Ye is over the award, and I'm just doing nonsense."

Ye Xiudao: "As far as this poem and this handwriting are concerned, apart from my master Kong Jie, even I can only bow down."

Fusu laughed again, and said: "In this way, am I not number two in the world? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, I really dare not be, dare not be!"

Having said that, but his expression and look are very stinky, looking at that, he really takes it seriously!

Everyone is not exaggerating, Fusu's calligraphy and poetry attainments are indeed rare in the world, and those ministers in the court are really not as good as him.

Only those who do this as a profession can compete with it.

Strictly speaking, Fusu is the second, so Kong Jie can be the first, and the others really can't.

Just now.

An idler passed by.

Li Jue glanced at the poems, and immediately curled his lips, that's it?

The great Confucianist Ye Xiu and the eldest son Fusu also saw Li Jue, and they blushed immediately, and they looked at each other, feeling a little guilty.

They have all seen Li Jue's poetry and calligraphy.

Let alone them, even Kong Jie can't catch up with him.

This is not flattery, but the truth.

A post that Kong Jie borrowed from Fusu was written by Li Jue, and he took it back as a sacred copy.

The two boasted to each other, but Li Jue found out, so they were naturally embarrassed.

but.

There was a scribe, Zou Yang, who was also an admonishing doctor and a student of Lu Buwei. He was once as famous as Li Si. Later, Li Si became a minister, and he was still a doctor.

He considers himself noble, and he came here this time to intercede for Lu Buwei.

It's just that I haven't been able to find a chance to speak.

Seeing Li Jue appearing, he still looked contemptuous, and immediately felt that the opportunity had come.
