Du Ruhui asked Yu Shinan in a low voice,"Elder Yu, you're a calligraphy expert. What do you think of this length?”
Yu Shinan's face flushed red, and his emotions surged. He praised in a low voice,"The entire chapter is written in a well-organized manner. The strokes are vigorous, and the cursive script is magnificent. The lines contain the charm of the magnificent mountains and rivers. Even if I have lived for half a lifetime, I have never seen such vivid calligraphy.”
After a pause, he sighed with emotion,"Even I am ashamed of my inferiority."”
In fact, he felt that it was not just him. Even Ouyang Xun, who was better at regular script than him, was slightly inferior to him.
However, it was not appropriate for him to represent Ouyang Xun, so he did not say this out loud.
The other four people were surprised. They didn't expect that even Yu Shinan would give this calligraphy such a high evaluation.
"I really didn't expect that a hedonistic son of a rich family could have such amazing calligraphy attainments." Fang Xuanling said with a complicated expression.”
Hearing this, Yu Shi Nan frowned and said,""For this Cheng Chuyu to be able to write such majestic regular script, he must be a great talent with a grand heart. How can he be a profligate son?”
Chu Suiliang laughed bitterly." Elder Yu, you've been out of the world for many years. You might not know this, but this Cheng Chuyu is indeed a profligate son. Even Yuchi Baolin and the others just now are notorious profligate sons."”
Yu Shinan was stunned, then said,"It shouldn't be!" Putting Cheng Chuyu aside, I observed the answers written by Yuchi Baolin and the others. Although most of the handwriting was sloppy, their understanding of the way of being an official was very exquisite. They even mentioned some of the taboos that were rarely known in the officialdom.”
"I thought that even if they could not be called world-shocking talents, they could be called outstanding talents among the elites. How could they be frivolous and idle playboys?”
Kong Yingda's gaze was complicated." But that's the truth. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that these people could come up with such an answer."”
Du Ruhui sighed." Now that things have come to this, I have to say that they are indeed not simple. Perhaps everyone has misjudged them. They are not as bad as the rumors say."”
Fang Yi 'ai nodded emotionally and said,""Let's first take a look at this Cheng Chuyu's understanding of the way of being an official.”
He dared to challenge all the young masters of the aristocratic families, and he was also the leader of Yuchi Baolin and the others. With such shocking calligraphy attainments, Cheng Chuyu's answer would not be bad.
The five examiners all looked at Cheng Chuyu's answer sheet with anticipation.
"Worry before the world, and be happy after the world!”
"Those who live high in the court worry about their people, and those who live far away in the Jianghu worry about their monarch!”
The short opening sentence shocked the five of them on the spot, and a sense of respect arose in their hearts!
The literal meaning of the first sentence was: Worry before the world worries, and be happy after the world is happy!
The deeper meaning was that officials should put the country's interests first, worry about the country's future and fate, and contribute to the happiness of the people!
The meaning of the latter sentence was,"As a high official in the imperial court, you should care about the people. Even in the remote Jianghu, you should not forget to pay attention to the safety of the country!"
It was just a few sentences, but it showed great ambition and courage, enough to make people respect him!
However, this article was far more than that!
"As an official, you should have a far-sighted vision and be prepared for what is about to happen!”
"As an official, you should be open-minded, accept advice, not be ashamed to ask questions, and be impartial!”
"As an official, you should understand the people's feelings. Power should be used by the people, emotions should be tied to the people, and benefits should be sought by the people!”
"Officials should be loyal to their duties, act impartially, be upright, and dare to speak out!”
"Refuse to accept bribes for the sake of profit. If you don't have any merit, you won't accept rewards and titles. You're afraid that others will know that you're incorruptible. Refusing gifts is to open up the wind of incorruptness.”
"As an official, you must be clear about your power!"
"The heart of the superior is easy to change, but the will of the inferior is not to be held. Don't refute what you like, and don't believe what you say. Officials hate orphans, wise people hate fame, loyal people hate integrity. There is no harm in observing the subtle and pursuing it; There is no evil in knowing the great and following it!”
"As an official, you have to know who you are!"
"A traitor does not admit his own mistakes, and a loyal person does not seal his own name. It is a great mistake for an official to be ignorant of loyalty and treachery. To appoint talents, we must examine their virtues, and to resist evil, we must correct our own hearts. Don't judge it by one thing, don't judge it by a moment. Those who love the people must be loyal, and those who harm the people must be treacherous. There's no mistake about it!"
"An official needs to establish himself!"
......
......
After reading these thousands of words, the five examiners were shocked beyond words. Their old faces were filled with amazement, and the agitated emotions in their hearts could not be calmed for a long time.
The entire answer sheet, the big one mentioned the country and the world, the small one involved dealing with people, including all the understanding they could think of about the way of being an official.
In fact, some of the opinions in the answers were things that they had never thought of even after being officials for many years.
They had never thought that someone could have such a deep understanding of the way of being an official.
If Yuchi Baolin and the others 'answers were exquisite and unique, then Cheng Chuyu's answer was unprecedented!
He didn't dare to say that there was no one like him in the future, but it was definitely unprecedented!
This answer sheet could be used as a warning for all officials to learn and observe!
Ever since the five examiners picked up Cheng Chuyu's script, almost everyone's attention was focused on the changes in the examiners 'expressions.
When the examiners were amazed by Cheng Chuyu's calligraphy, many people's expressions changed. Now that they saw the shocked expressions of the examiners, some people had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Li Shiming couldn't suppress his curiosity and walked to the main examiner's seat to check Kong Yingda's answer sheet.
When he saw the calligraphy on the answer sheet, even Li Shimin, who was a shrewd man, couldn't help but be moved.
He was someone who loved calligraphy, so how could he not see the quality of the calligraphy? He also understood why Kong Yingda and the others were so shocked.
However, how could Cheng Chuyu have such deep attainments in regular script?
Li Shimin calmed down and started to read the answers.
After reading the complete answer sheet, Li Shimin's expression was wonderful.
