This person's words made those who had not paid attention to the sect leader look over.

At this time, the leader had returned to normal. He took away the words written by Brother Hui and looked at Brother Hui again before walking to the next person. Brother Hui grinned at him.

Everyone who saw the clan leader's expression just now had two guesses in their minds. One was that Prince Jie's handwriting was extremely good, and the other was that it was extremely bad.

After thinking about it for a while, most people still believed that the clan leader's reaction just now was entirely because Prince Jie's handwriting was extremely bad, so bad that it was horrible.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the expression of the clan leader just now. A small number of people looked at the three people on Xue Wenyu's side and observed their reactions. No matter how they looked at it, they felt that Xue Wenyu and Fan Puchang were not in a good mood, and did not seem to be confident. As for the merchant boy, he was a military commander, and nothing could be seen on his face.

Apart from anything else, just how happy he was when he saw Prince Jie finish writing and put down his pen.

The leader collected all the calligraphy works in public, and when he waved his hand, someone immediately came over with a wooden rack. The leader placed the works in his hand on the table, wrapped the top part with the name on it with thick paper, and then clipped it with a clip, disrupting the order of the works, and then hung them on the wooden rack.

Someone else brought in vases and placed them at the bottom of each piece of work.

Let the ministers who are here today line up and take a silk flower from the eunuch, and put it into the bottle under the approved work.

Ten people come forward at a time, cast their votes and leave, and then another ten people come forward.

But not everyone here.

The relatives and friends of the candidates are not allowed to come forward to throw flowers.

The rules are quite fair and prevent cheating.

Of course, if a minister recognizes the handwriting of a candidate and knows who voted, it cannot be considered cheating.

The ten ministers in the front row stood up, lined up to receive the silk flowers and walked to the wooden stand.

According to what they learned, among these eleven people, Zhou Shuhuan, 45 years old this year, loves calligraphy the most. He has been practicing calligraphy for at least one hour every day since he was four years old. When he was older, he would practice calligraphy for at least two hours every day, and would only stop when he was really ill.

The worst one is Prince Jie, who is supported by Prince Xue and the merchants. Many people can confirm this.

As for the calligraphy of others, I am not very sure about its specific quality.

People have different talents, not all of them have many advantages, and their efforts vary, so it is impossible to achieve perfection. Each person's own conditions determine the height he can reach, so calligraphy is also divided into different levels.

According to the expertise and special skills of each calligrapher, there are five levels: 1. Authentic 2. Masters 3. Famous 4. Source 5. Listed Source.

He has a thorough understanding of the past and the present, without being harsh or passionate; he is proficient in rules, has a pure character, a calm attitude, and is good at all kinds of fonts, with a dignified style. Those with such a level have left a permanent example for the future, and this is the authentic one.

Be familiar with various fonts and master the essentials of various brush strokes. When many strokes appear in side by side, the shape and breath of the characters will have rich changes. Each character and even the whole paragraph of characters will have different postures and gestures. There is a wonderful feeling of rebirth and the ability to change in a thousand ways. This is for everyone.

As for various fonts, some are good at some, some are not good at some, and some are poor at writing, some are fast and powerful, some are slow and neat, some are fresh and beautiful, some are full and gorgeous, some are vigorous, and some show grace. Although the intentions and demeanor are different, the true feelings are fully revealed.

It is like a doctor, divination, or physiognomist who is famous and has unique skills. He is the so-called third-class master.

Gentle but not decisive enough, solemn but a little lacking in tranquility, majestic but lacking in peace, thin but lacking in moisture, flexible and resilient, strictly conforming to the law, and cautiously following the guidelines, like that innocent family in decline, the young generation is law-abiding, even if they have not achieved any fame or fortune, they have not brought discredit to their ancestors. This is the true source of the fourth-class land.

Being unrestrained and fierce, with a strong momentum, showing off skills and exposing one's edge, flaunting madness and being frivolous, the paintings are like snakes hanging on a tree, and the strokes are like squatting toads, or they are thin and steep or thick and scattered, just like special flowers and strange things, which make ordinary people feel astonished. Another example is that a pheasant has only some feathers and some feathers like a phoenix. This is the fifth level of side stream.

Among these ten people, there is no doubt that Prince Jie is not even considered a fifth-rank official.

However, when the ten people were working on the wooden frame, ten pairs of eyes stopped on one of the calligraphy pieces one after another.

The content was a passage from the Book of Songs, and the key point was the font of the calligraphy, which they had never seen before.

Upon closer inspection, they were even more surprised to find that the fonts of the four paragraphs of this book of poetry were actually different.

The first paragraph is powerful in style and unique in structure.

The second paragraph uses the brushstrokes of seal script to create a thin and hard style that is full and vigorous, with a broad structure and magnificent momentum, and strong strength and a majestic demeanor.

The third paragraph is clear, vigorous and powerful, with rigorous structure, exquisite brushwork and upright writing force.

The last paragraph has every word round and elegant, upright and rigorous, yet has the elegance and grace of running script.

Oh my god, who could have written this?

The ten people looked at the words and then looked towards the candidates for the new king.

If the clan leader had not given instructions that conversation was not allowed when throwing flowers, these ten people really wanted to discuss whose work it was.

But now you cannot speak. If you violate the rules, you will be deprived of the right to participate in the election of the new king and will be driven out of the palace.

"What's going on? What are you wasting time on?"

"That's right. If they continue to behave like this, we won't be able to leave the palace until dark."

“Are you afraid of offending people?”

"No way. The clan leader covered up the names of the calligraphers, so we can't tell who wrote it. If we vote for the wrong one, we won't offend anyone. Just vote for the best calligraphy and that's it."

The ten people crowded together on the wooden frame where the works were hung. They didn't seem to be hesitant, but rather seemed to be attracted by the calligraphy.

The Minister of Justice Li Jiecheng was among the ten people. He turned around and glanced at Zhou Shuhuan, hesitated for a moment, and inserted the silk flower in his hand into the vase under the four similar but different works.

Zhou Shuhuan had never tried to win him over, and he didn't think highly of Zhou Shuhuan. The reason he voted for this painting was simply because the calligraphy was indeed good.

Zhou Shuhuan was most obsessed with calligraphy, so this new font must have come from him. However, what Yan State needed was a wise ruler, not a calligrapher.

With his lead, the other nine people no longer hesitated and put the silk flowers in their hands into the same vase before returning to their seats.

In fact, two of them wanted to throw the silk flowers into the other two pieces of calligraphy, because although the names of the writers were covered and could not be seen, they could recognize whose handwriting it was. But when they saw that the other eight people threw the silk flowers into one bottle, wouldn't it be too strange for them to throw them into other bottles? So, the two of them followed the crowd and threw them into the same bottle.

Seeing this scene, everyone present except the head of the clan was shocked. How could such a situation happen?

Among the eleven candidates, except Prince Jie, all of them have been learning literature and calligraphy since childhood.

Even if Zhou Shuhuan's calligraphy is outstanding, there is still a gap between him and others, but that doesn't mean the gap is huge. Besides, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it's not possible for ten people to choose the same one.
