Imperial.

"Your Majesty, these are the ten picture scrolls that Shang Shuling just ordered someone to send."

Zhang Desheng pointed to several picture scrolls hanging in the corridor.

"Hmm."

Li Zhi nodded, narrowed his eyes, but did not rush to look, but said, "I asked you to inquire about something, how about inquiring?" ”

Zhang Desheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are actually only a few pictures about that crisis, and there are many, many paintings, although there have always been people talking about that crisis, but there are not many of them, because there are a lot of topics caused by this exhibition. As he spoke, he pointed to a painting and said, "Let's just say that this map of an orchard in Guangzhou has aroused a lot of public opinion." ”

"Really?"

Li Zhi stepped forward to take a closer look and said in surprise: "This is Guangzhou?" ”

Zhang Desheng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, most people are the same as you, they can't believe this fact, in the eyes of our people in Chang'an, Lingnan is still a foreign place, but I never thought that the scenery of Guangzhou was so beautiful." ”

"I didn't expect that!" Li Zhi nodded, and suddenly pointed to the few people who were talking outside the fence in the picture scroll: "What are they doing here?" ”

Zhang Desheng pointed to one of them: "This man is a traveling merchant, and when he passes by the orchard, he wants to secretly pick a few fruits to quench his thirst, and these people are the people who take care of the orchard. ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "It seems that this person has been arrested." ”

Zhang Desheng laughed and said: "That's the case, but it can't be said to be arrested, because the person who took care of the orchard not only did not punish this person, but also gave a lot of fruit to this person." Your Majesty, take a closer look at whether this man is holding the fruit and handing it to the passerby. ”

"Really!"

Li Zhi smiled: "This is really interesting! ”

Zhang Desheng said: "The villain heard that there were too many fruits in Guangzhou, and they couldn't eat them at all, but later the Xiaopang Group went to canned the fruits and then sold them all over the country, but it helped the fruit farmers in Guangzhou!" ”

"The canned pulp of the Chubby Group is really delicious! By the way, is there anything left in the palace? ”

"Yes, yes, the Chubby Group dedicates a whole boat to His Majesty every year, which should be enough to eat."

Li Zhi nodded slightly, walked to a picture scroll on the side, saw that it was a large dock, and said, "Where is this?" ”

Zhang Desheng hurriedly said: "This is the dock by the sea in Yangzhou. ”

"Yes, the imperial court has been encouraging shipping lately." Li Zhi nodded, looked at it, and said happily: "This pier is really big!" ”

Zhang Desheng said: "I heard that the goods in Lelangzhou are directly by sea to Yangzhou, and from Yangzhou to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain and wine in Yuanzhou are also transported to Yangzhou by sea, and then transported to the Guanzhong area, it is said that the warehouse in Yangzhou is already the largest in our Datang." ”

Li Zhi smiled and said: "I have also heard that most of the wine sold by the people now comes from Yuanzhou, okay, in this way, we don't need to take too much grain to make wine in the Central Plains, this wine is a big problem, many dynasties in history have banned winemaking, but it has been repeatedly banned, and it often makes a mess, I hope this problem does not appear in our Tang Dynasty." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the painting on the side again, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was six or seven people chasing an official dressed in the government, and said, "This is what they are talking about." ”

Zhang Desheng nodded and said: "The official in this painting is the county magistrate of Shansang County, Bozhou, named Guo Rui. ”

Li Zhi groaned for a while and said, "I remember, this person is a henchman of Li Yifu, and he was later killed by the local people. ”

Zhang Desheng nodded and said: "The villain heard that this Guo Rui is really evil in Shansang County, didn't the imperial court order to want smugglers, but he was indiscriminate, arresting people everywhere, in fact, it was to take the opportunity to rob the people's property, the local landlords were forced to send him money, the people could not come up with so much money, he not only robbed the people's money, but also robbed the people's daughters, so that it caused public anger and was beaten to death in front of the house." ”

Li Zhi frowned slightly, seeing the angry expressions of the people, he was very sad in his heart, this is what he hates the most, this is like his housekeeper doing nonsense, making himself bankrupt, who can figure it out, full of hatred and said: "It's too cheap to kill him, he should be cut by a thousand knives, I really should let every minister in the court go to see it, let him know that this water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, and is there a painting about that crisis?" ”

Zhang Desheng said: "Shang Shuling sent this one, Shang Shuling said that he was afraid that His Majesty would be angry, and asked the villain to persuade His Majesty that there is no need to be angry with this kind of person." ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said, "That kid is more thoughtful than you." ”

Zhang Desheng smiled awkwardly.

If Han Yi heard this, he would really not be happy.

Li Zhi sighed again: "Han Yi is right, this painting can indeed make people reflect deeply, the slightest carelessness in this court may cause tens of millions of people to be harmed, no wonder Hong'er will feel pressure, later, you will send this painting back to the amusement park, let Han Yi hang there, don't take it down, those individuals, and said that this is detrimental to the reputation of the court, if you really know that you are afraid of the reputation of the court, then you shouldn't do it, it's all like this, where is the reputation of the court at all, it's really self-deception." ”

......

......

Amusement park.

"You're willing to come!"

Han Yi looked at Wang Yuntu standing next to Zheng Shanxing and said with a smile.

Today, Wang Yuntu has changed his recent decadent image, and has returned to the well-dressed children of the scholar clan in the past.

Wang Yuntu shook it and said: "Yuntu doesn't know what to do, he has lived up to Shang Shuling's kindness, and I hope Shang Shuling can be more tolerant." ”

"Hey....!"

Han Yi pulled him up and said, "You don't need to thank me, because I hold this art exhibition, not for you, but for my own liking, and I think these paintings have profound educational significance and are conducive to the development of the country. ”

Wang Yuntu was stunned and looked at Han Yi suspiciously.

Han Yi said: "What you need now is to forget all this and continue to maintain that original heart, if you value the fame that this exhibition aims to bring, you will lose everything, including your life, and even yourself." This is also why many arts were born in the scholar class, that is, because many scholars are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, where there is no power and wealth, so no matter what he plays, he plays very purely, but unfortunately, he failed to show it to everyone, and did not produce the value it should have. ”

Zheng Shanxing said with a smile: "It's really rare that Little Brother Han can say a good word for our clan!" ”

Han Yi said: "I have always been on the basis of facts. ”

Wang Yuntu arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you for Shang Shuling's guidance, Yuntu will definitely remember it in my heart." ”

At this moment, a subordinate came over and whispered a few words in Han Yi's ear, Han Yi nodded and said, "I know." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the amusement park suddenly announced that the exhibition would be suspended for one day, saying that it was to renovate the exhibition area to make everyone's experience better, but in fact, it was because Wu Meiniang sent a message that she would take Li Hong and Li Xian to see the exhibition tomorrow.

That Li Hong has only been here for one day, but he is still unsatisfied, and he has always wanted to come and see again, and Li Xian has never come, and Wu Meiniang herself wants to come and see, but of course Li Ji will not take risks, and he must get a special session for their three mothers and sons.

.....

Following.

"You two are also going to help watch the prince and King Lu."

Wu Meiniang pointed to Li Hong and Li Xian, who were excited in front of her, and said to the two palace ladies behind her.

"The slave obeys."

The two palace ladies immediately stepped forward quickly.

"I really didn't expect your art exhibition to be so successful."

Wu Meiniang suddenly squinted at Han Yi on the side.

As the owner of the art exhibition, Han Yi naturally came to accompany him in person, and said with a smile: "If it fails, I will not hold this art exhibition." ”

"I've heard that there were some accidents during this period, and many ministers impeached you because of this." Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

Han Yi said: "There will never be a shortage of people in this world who tell right and wrong, this is not an accident, but the clear person is self-purifying, and I don't need to worry too much." ”

The corners of Wu Meiniang's mouth raised slightly, and said, "But I think you have to say thank you to me." ”

Han Yi said: "Could it be that the queen helped me speak from it?" There's no need for that! ”

"I'm not stupid enough to get involved in this." Wu Meiniang shook her head and said: "I want to say that the reason why Your Majesty is so relieved of you is mainly because you are not like the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Yifu, who formed a party for personal gain and established a strong force in the court. And you don't need to build your own power, it's just because of me, it's just that no one knows that. ”

Han Yi smiled: "If you also want to say thank you, then the queen owes me I don't know how many thank yous." ”

"For example, you rekindle everyone's memories of that crisis and make everyone hate me." Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

"It turns out that the queen came to me today to settle accounts!" Han Yi said with a smile.

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "I just want to find out what kind of medicine you are selling in this gourd." ”

Han Yi shook his head and smiled: "This matter really has nothing to do with you, the queen, I am purely for art." Of course, I also considered whether the queen would be affected. ”

Wu Meiniang said: "I think the result of your consideration is that it has no effect on me, but my mother is a little worried about this, my mother is old, but she can't be stimulated by anything, you can't say that this has no effect on me at all." ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I didn't think about this, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." But overall, I think it's positive, not negative, for you, the Queen. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled: "I want to hear about it." ”

Han Yi said: "As the old saying goes, misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune lurk." Judging from the painting alone, there is indeed a negative side to the queen, but combined with what the queen has done in recent years, the meaning is very different. From the analysis of my psychology, a person who is willing to change his life can often gain the admiration and trust of more people. Because throughout the ages, many rulers have been reluctant to admit and accept their mistakes, because it is very difficult and requires a lot of courage.

On the other hand, if anyone does this, and takes action, and achieves good results, then it will be admired by everyone, because it is also a manifestation of morality. Dare to take responsibility, dare to admit mistakes, dare to change, this is better than many men. If the queen is a woman stronger than a man in the hearts of the people, this will be of great help to the queen. I advise the queen not to try to cover up the crisis, but to face it with a positive attitude of reform, courage to take responsibility and change, so that the queen's prestige will prevail over the crisis, in fact, the locust plague has already shown this very well. ”

Wu Meiniang groaned for a while, suddenly smiled, and said, "You are always good at finding a turnaround from a crisis. ”

Han Yi smiled: "Isn't the queen the same, but I think this is not innate, judging from the origin and growth of the two of us, if we don't learn to find opportunities from the crisis, then we may not be able to live today, which is why many things, we can think of together, because we are all used to thinking about problems in a desperate situation." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "But there is one thing that I am not as good as you!" ”

"What?"

"Create a desperate situation."

“......！”

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I think you may have forgotten that you are the initiator of that crisis, and I am more of a victim." ”

Speaking of the back, her tone was full of resentment.

Han Yi smiled: "At the same time, it is also the biggest beneficiary. ”

"I don't agree with that, but I don't want to argue with you about it." Wu Meiniang suddenly said quite seriously: "I have another thing to discuss with you." ”

Han Yi said: "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "I want to do business." ”
