Chapter 1807 Fossils

Every word on the post looks so thin and straight. The strokes are stretched and graceful. At the turning points, you can see the traces of the hidden edge, exposed edge, and movement of the strokes preserved by the calligrapher, forming horizontal strokes with hooks and vertical strokes.

The brush strokes are pointed, the strokes are like daggers, and the strokes are like cutting knives. The vertical hooks are slender and restrained, and the continuous strokes are like flying and crisp. The entire painting has a very spiritual style.

Cai Jing couldn't help but admire: "Duan Wang's wonderful pen, out of the two snows, the valley is so beautiful that it is astonishing. It is like a gossamer thread floating in the air, with beautiful vines hanging on the trees, graceful and graceful. Such talent makes the ministers and others amazed."

Zhang Dun nodded: "The beauty of the golden strands is as fine as a hair, and it is almost as good as the magical work of ghosts, which can be even more amazing and can be combined in the hair of a hair."

"It goes against the solemn, solemn, elegant and heavy calligraphy style of the past, but it can still be translated into elegance and magnificence, something that others cannot."

"This is unique, specific and subtle, and it has already made a great family."

Zhao Xu hugged the babbling Princess Shouning and said, "Don't praise her to the heavens. His talent is outstanding, but judging from the poem, his knowledge is not profound enough. You still need to work hard."

Zhao Ji put down his pen, bowed and said, "Brother Huang has taught you the right lesson."

Several ministers just rolled their eyes. Master Shiyi's kung fu is much better than yours, and you still have the nerve to ask others.

But as a scholar, as an emperor, the officials were extremely convinced of Zhao Xu.

Su You's education for Zhao Xu has never been about specializing in one thing, but focusing on the vastness of the area and the complexity of the system. That is to say, he knows everything, but is not very proficient in it. He only needs to be able to know the good and the bad.

For example, when it comes to calligraphy and poetry, Zhao Xu cannot write good works, but he can distinguish between good works and bad works.

The king does not need to create good things, he only needs to distinguish between good and bad from the suggestions and creations of his ministers.

This is what Zhuge Liang calls "viewing the general outline", and it is also the direction Su You trains Zhao Xu.

Moreover, in the process of training, Zhao Xu can also understand that he will always have shortcomings, be able to accept advice with an open mind, respect knowledge, not think that he is "one in the world", and can in turn care for the people of the world.

Such a monarch can already be called "terrific" in all dynasties.

Cai Jing was attracted by King Duan's paperweight. When Zhao Ji put down his pen, he picked it up and said, "The patterns on these paperweights are really strange."

The paperweight is a pair of strange bamboo shoot-like things. When viewed from the bottom together, it is a standard circle. When opened, it is a slender cone embedded in the stone. It is cut from the middle and processed into

This pair of paperweights.

Looking at the side of the paperweight, there are still two lines of words engraved on it, but they are a small poem: "The bride stone of Nanyan, the thunderbolt presses the bamboo shoots out. Spoon water to moisten its roots, how long will it take to grow bamboo?"

The signature part is engraved with the word "Tingjian", and there is also a seal with the word "Valley" inscribed on it.

Liu Zhengfu also leaned over and asked: "Huang Shangu's handwriting?"

Huang Tingjian is Zhao Ji's calligraphy teacher. Zhao Ji said: "This pair of paperweights is the teacher's treasure. After my calligraphy was approved by the teacher, he gave this pair of paperweights to me. However, the things on them are not stalagmites. This mystery is

It was cracked by Xinjin, the Soviet system envoy."

"Oh? What is this?" Zhang Dun became interested immediately.

Colander said: "According to my brother's research, this thing is a creature from ancient times. It is a snail that sinks into the sand after death. After hundreds of millions of years, the silt on the seabed turned into rocks, and the snail shell was contained in it.

It has gone through a lot of changes, and now it has been excavated by modern people."

"Really?" Zhang Dun took the two paperweights and asked, "How to prove it?"

Colander said: "Because my brother found many such things in Liaodong. In addition to this kind of pointed snails, there are also round snails, as well as all kinds of weird bugs and fish. They were all left in the rock formations."

A chair pushed a cart over: "Scholar Shen mentioned in his paper published in the Capital University Hall, 'I was envoyed to Hebei and followed Taihang to the north. Between the cliffs, there are often snails, clam shells and stones like bird eggs. There is a belt of stone walls across it. This was the seashore in the past, but now it is nearly a thousand miles away from the sea to the east. The so-called mainland is covered by mud.'

'Yao killed Gun in Yushan. It was said in the past that it was in the East China Sea, but now it is in Pinglu. All big rivers, such as Zhangshui, Hutuo, Zhuoshui, Sangqian, etc., are all turbid currents. Today's Guan, west of Shaanxi, is in the level ground. If it does not decrease by a hundred feet, its mud will flow eastwards and it will all be on the mainland. This is inevitable.'"

"In the recently compiled local chronicles, Tanzhou local chronicles also recorded: There is a stone lying on the ground on the top of the mountain. Everywhere in the cave a few feet away, if you see a bluestone, you will remove it and call it a fish-covering stone. From under the bluestone, the color will be slightly green. Or it is gray and white. If you peel it off repeatedly, there are fish shapes on the stone surfaces on both sides, similar to loach and crucian carp, and the scales and mane are all like ink drawings.

The cave is two or three feet deep, and there is a blue stone again, which is called the fish-carrying stone.

Under the stone, there is sand and soil, and a few of them swim together, or the stone patterns are completely like algae, but among the hundreds of pieces, not one or two are visible, most of them are fish-shaped in the stone, and some of them are disordered on the opposite side. There are many of them, with two sides like dragons, making a winding motion, with scales, hyenas, claws and armor, which is particularly strange.

The natives often make forgeries and decorate them with raw lacquer, but when they are scraped and burned, they can be distinguished by the fishy smell."

"There is also a record in the Longxi Chronicles: There is a place named Yulong Gorge, which can be obtained by digging out rocks and breaking them. Many of them are in the shape of fish, which is the same as those produced in western Hunan. Isn't it the ancient Pizhe where fish live? Because of the decline of the mountains, it has been blocked for many years. The earth solidifies into stone, and then it turns into stone?"

"However, most of the fish stones produced in several places in my dynasty are collected by the Shi family and are rarely seen. The ones discovered by the Soviet envoy in Liaodong are all excellent products."

"He called them 'fossils' and sent over a thousand pieces this time, including the skeleton of an ancient dragon."

"Xueshi Huang's pair of paperweight creatures were found in large numbers during this great discovery. They were pressed into the same stone layer as other creatures, so we infer that they were also a kind of aquatic snails at that time."

"These are the second-level fossils that the official ordered to inspect from the Capital University Hall as a reward for this Mid-Autumn Festival."

The fossils on the cart have been finely polished, and have been specially decorated with mahogany frames and bases. They can be used as table screens and displayed on desks, turning them into elegant playthings for literati.

Zhang Dun was overjoyed. He first saluted Zhao Xu with his hand, and then stretched out his hand to occupy a table screen with three biological forms: "I thank you, Your Majesty. This thing is so rare. It is a clear proof that the eternal sea has turned into a mulberry field."

Cai Jing was a bit thin-skinned, so he missed the most beautiful piece in a blink of an eye, and quickly reached out his hand: "Thank you for the reward from the officials, the ground is full of chrysanthemums today, I will choose this piece that looks like a snail."

Shen Kuo was the most interested in this thing, but he didn't reach out: "I would like to take a few days' leave from Your Majesty and go to the Capital University to see the sea dragon skeleton."

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "I can't be sure about this. If you want to go, you can only wait for the day of rest."

After speaking, he added: "However, the three men who have recently reformed the Ministry of Industry, the Third Division, and the Navy have made outstanding contributions and worked very hard. I have another reward, which is not included in these fossils today."

"Today, these old rules must be replaced by poems. The Sushe people have already arranged the banquet, so let's have a banquet."

A tent was set up on the other side of the observatory, where the queen was entertaining the imperial concubines.

Zhao Bai was blind, so he had no taboos. He was already pulled there by the female relatives and started playing musical instruments.

Zhao Ji also took out a flute, but the shape was very strange. It was a polished stainless steel tube with many buttons on it. He brought it to his lips and played it in harmony with Zhao Ji's piano sound, which was melodious.

The sound of the flute sounded on the observatory, which immediately made the officials feel clear.

Prince Duan is frivolous, but his artistic talent is rare in the world. The thing in his hand is probably the result of too much money.

The ministers were so inspired by poetry that they all started to win the exquisite fossil table screen.

Afterwards, they had a banquet and chatted, and the topic naturally couldn't be separated from the situation in Liaodong.

Zhao Xu held the wine glass: "After all, it's all about interests. Liaodong autonomy is the best choice for the Northern Concubine Wen and the King of Jin, for Wang Jing and the ministers of the Southern Court, and for us in the Song Dynasty."

Cai Jing raised a glass of wine to persuade his Majesty to drink: "In the Battle of Jinzhou, the Soviet envoys captured 20,000 elite soldiers of Yelumago in one fell swoop, completely shocking both the North and the South."

"Now, in the north, Xiao Feng first entered the capital to defend the city, and in the south, the Northern Dynasty King Wei and the emperor's uncle had to shrink their troops. Ma Renwang, who stayed on the Tokyo Road, was an important minister of the Liao Kingdom, and he and Jinzhou Zhizhou Ma Bin were father and son. If Ma Renwang defected to Tokyo, then
