Chapter 180: The Malice of the Ministry of Rites

Except for Song Huizong, the emperor and the boss of the art world, the rest of the people present were either high-ranking officials or celebrities in the capital, in fact, they originally looked down on Ye Ling, a small grassroots, and what else did Jeju Mansion come from, isn't it a small place under Qingzhou?

However, Song Huizong didn't say anything, they naturally didn't despise it too much, plus Wang Yizhi still had a bit of fame and status, if they bullied Ye Ling too much, it would inevitably make Wang Yizhi look bad.

At this time, Wang Yizhi hurriedly waved with everyone, sang a fat song, and then quietly introduced them to Ye Ling, and the rest of the people were just fine, but the white-haired old man next to Huizong was Cai Jing, the head of the four traitorous ministers!

This made Ye Ling a little surprised, he didn't expect to see not only the artist emperor here today, but also the number one traitor, so he also looked at Cai Jing a few more times, but Cai Jing didn't even raise his eyelids, obviously didn't put him in his eyes at all.

In addition, there is another name that also makes Ye Ling feel familiar - Wang Wande, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty, this person Ye Ling has not dealt with, but his son Wang Wanhe has just met him in Fan Lou not long ago, and he has humiliated him severely, but Ye Ling only cares a little more about him.

As for the rest of the people, they are also high-ranking officials and celebrities, Ye Ling is very unfamiliar with this, after all, he is more concerned about the famous figures of the imperial court and military, and the cultural world rarely cares.

However, Ye Ling is not familiar with everyone, but one of them is a little familiar with Ye Ling, yes, it is the king of the Ministry of Rites.

Originally, it was the matter of their Ministry of Rites to be responsible for receiving foreign guests, because the envoys of the Western Xia and the Liao State had come one after another recently, and he could not get out, so he could only accompany the Liao envoys with a relatively higher status, and handed over the task of entertaining the Western Xia envoy Li Wanchun to his son Wang Wanhe, in his opinion, the major events of the peace talks between the two countries have been completed, and the rest is only a small matter of accompanying him to eat, drink and have fun, and his son should be fully competent.

But he never thought that it was such a trivial thing that everyone could accomplish, but his precious son messed up, and was beaten up by Li Wanchun's two entourages in Fan Lou, and humiliated them fiercely, making everyone unhappy, and Li Wanchun also left angrily, and the idea of letting them have a good ass fell through.

Wang Wanhe naturally didn't dare to hide this, and sued him fiercely in front of his father, and they naturally got Ye Ling's information - Du Ling, the son of Du Bancheng, the wealthy man of Jeju Prefecture, Wang Wande's father and son were still trying to find out these two people to take revenge, but they didn't expect to meet them unexpectedly here.

Therefore, Wang Wande naturally has great hatred for Ye Ling in his heart, but although he himself is one of the six dignified and upright Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, it is not his turn to speak here, even if he does not say that His Majesty the Emperor is the emperor, Cai Jing alone is enough to deter him.

But Wang Wande's reaction was also very fast, and he took it into account as soon as his eyes rolled, and he smiled and said: "Sure enough, there are talented people in the country, and the new generation is better than the old, this little brother Du looks a few years younger than the dog, but he didn't expect it to be already an appreciator of everyone, which makes us old guys where to put their faces, hehe." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they were all acquaintances present, so they naturally knew that this Wang Wande was definitely a generation of old official ruffians, flattering and pressing, and very slippery, for people who were higher and more useful than him, it was an unprincipled stutter, but for people with lower status and useless than him, he had always been too lazy to pay attention to it, and what kind of good reputation for his juniors had nothing to do with him, what was wrong with him today, he actually respected Wang Yizhi so much for a kid who brought soy sauce to see the world?

Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Wang Yizhi? It shouldn't be reasoned, that's right, Wang Yizhi is a celebrity in the capital, and he is also a first-class connoisseur and family, but he only serves as a bachelor of the fifth grade, and he can't compare with a second-grade member like him, what is this old fox for?

Therefore, for a moment, everyone, including Cai Jing, was quiet, and they were all looking at Wang Wande, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in his stuffy gourd.

After seeing Wang Wande grinning, he immediately handed a calligraphy and painting on the small table in front of them to Ye Ling and said, "Little Brother Du, let's take a look at this calligraphy and painting first, and see which one of them is from?" Since Brother Wang respects you so much, this should be very simple for you, hehe. ”

Don't look at his words, it seems that Gao Yeling is very praised, but all of them are old foxes, and they can immediately see that Wang Wande has bad intentions, it turns out that this time the Western Xia envoy brought a total of four antiques, and asked the Great Song Dynasty to help identify them, they were also discussing and studying together before, but this time the things were really weird, and they were not completely sure of it in the past two days, so they had to point to Wang Yizhi and others.

And such a profound question, Wang Wande threw it to Ye Ling, a junior, I am afraid that it is not to make him famous, but to make him ugly.

Everyone understood in their hearts, but no one said anything to stop them, after all, they didn't know Ye Ling, there was no need to offend Wang Wande for a nameless junior like Ye Ling, and there were also a few people with dark psychology who also wanted to see this kid embarrassed, so that he could understand that this was not the place where a hairy boy like him should come.

Wang Yizhi was in his heart, and just wanted to speak out to stop Ye Ling from taking this hot potato, he said a few words to push it away, but he had already seen that Ye Ling had calmly taken the calligraphy and painting handed over by Wang Wande, with a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to feel the malice hidden behind Wang Wande at all.

This made Wang Yizhi secretly complain, he naturally knew Ye Ling's ability, which is why he resolutely formed an alliance with him, as the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, fighting, strategy, command, etc. Ye Ling is an expert, but this appreciation of antiques is not like a thing like martial arts, this is a very experienced industry, without twenty or thirty years of experience, you can never become everyone, young man, young man, you are the old fox!

But even though Wang Yizhi was depressed in his heart, he had to pretend to be disapproving on the surface, if he insisted on blocking it at this time, on the one hand, it would hurt Ye Ling's face, and on the other hand, it would also make everyone suspicious - wasn't this young man the one you brought to say help? What's the matter, doesn't he understand anything? Aren't you guilty of deceit?

In an instant, Ye Ling became the central figure in this small room, even Song Huizong, who was sitting in the middle.
