The Hanlin Painting Academy, like the Prime Minister's East Mansion and the Privy Council and other important court departments, is located in the Imperial Palace, because the emperor needs to be invited to participate in the major affairs of the imperial court at any time, and for Zhao Ji, painting is by no means lighter than military affairs, and the nature of seeing painters at any time is the same as meeting the prime ministers, so the painting academy is also in the palace.

After going around several palace walls and passing through several palace gates, Li Yan finally led Wu Zhi to a quiet but chic palace garden.

"Dean Wu, this is the Hanlin Painting Academy, there are not many people in it, even with guards and miscellaneous servants, there are more than 90 people in total, the painters come and go freely, and there are only 10 or 20 people who come every day, this is a quiet yamen, there are not so many doors in it, Dean Wu can take office with peace of mind."

Wu Zhi nodded and smiled thankfully at Li Yan.

He knew what Li Yan hinted at, but where the imperial court yamen, there must be all kinds of power struggles, factions and factions, for the new chief or new officials, the wisest thing is to keep a low profile with his tail between his legs, and wait for the muddy water to be thorough, so that he can be at ease.

Of course, for strong people, it is inevitable that a new official will have to burn three fires when he takes office, but if such an official does not have a backstage, the fire is likely to burn himself.

First of all, this is a gathering place for painters, and the painters are generally romantic and free-spirited, and they are not suitable for power and profit, and most of them are not here.

"Dean Wu, please come with me."

Li Yan smiled at Wu Zhi, and took him into the painting courtyard, and the guards at the gate with Li Yan leading the way naturally did not dare to stop him.

"This is your new Dean Wu, and your eyes will shine brightly in the future."

Li Yan glanced at the guard coldly and reminded him, but Wu Zhi looked kind.

"You can't give these people a good face, or they'll kick their noses in the face!"

"Huh...... Get used to it. ”

…………

While Wu Zhi and Li Yan were talking, they came to the door of the main hall of the art academy, and as soon as they approached, Wu Zhi heard a hearty and chaotic laughter from inside.

"Your Excellency, you're so relaxed!"

Li Yan immediately put on a smiling face and walked in.

"Yo! It's Father-in-law Li, Father-in-law Li hasn't come to us alone for a few days, but what's the matter? ”

Wu Zhi also approached the inner hall, where a group of young people were sitting around chatting and drinking tea, and when they saw Li Yan walk in, they all got up and said hello, but their eyes were focused on Wu Zhi.

"Hehe, our family is not polite, this time I came here to introduce Dean Wu to you." Li Yan said with a smile.

"Oh? Dean Wu, we all know each other, so we don't need to introduce it, right? One said with a smile on his face.

"That is, we know Dean Wu, and Father-in-law He Lao Li has a lot of words."

…………

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the person opposite, and immediately clapped his hands angrily: "Ouch! I said that you adults are still so fond of joking, the dean of martial arts I introduced to you this time is not this dean of martial arts, but ......" said Li Yan pulled Wu Zhi down in front of him and introduced: "It is the new dean of martial arts appointed by the official family, a martial arts official from Qingzhou!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wu Zhi is polite." Wu Zhi smiled and hugged everyone.

"Hahaha! In fact, I have already guessed that this gentle son is the proud Lang Junwu official of Qingzhou! ”

After a burst of laughter, everyone gathered around.

"I have admired the name of the great official of the martial arts for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see it today! I'm just a gag joke, big official... No, it's the dean, don't take it to heart! A man in white with a dashing temperament stepped forward and hugged Wu Zhi with his fist.

"Yes, we are fortunate to have seen the sketch invented by the dean, it is really breathtaking, and we will ask the dean more in the future, I hope the dean will give me advice!" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man looked at Wu Zhi with adoring eyes.

"yes, yes...... Meet the new Dean! ”

The artists were very enthusiastic.

"You are too exalted to Wu Zhi, in the future, everyone will discuss each other, about the sketching method, I will definitely teach you!"

Wu Zhi's heart is warm, since he called Bianjing and came into contact with the Beijing officials in the court, Wu Zhi has been in a position of no existence, and even despised, Wu Zhi himself feels out of place in the ranks of those officials, and he is very inferior.

And now, when they came to this painting academy, everyone was extremely enthusiastic about themselves and worshipped, which made Wu Zhi very moved, and he was as respected and worshiped as if he had returned to Qingzhou.

Wu Zhi also knows that there is a reason why he is the president of the academy, but the main reason is that everyone has the same background - they are all born as Jinshi.

Those who can be admitted to the Jinshi have all become officials, who has nothing to study and paint?

Seeing that everyone got along very harmoniously, Li Yan also introduced Wu Zhi with a smile.

"Huh? What about you, Vice President Wu? ”

As soon as Li Yan spoke, everyone immediately flashed a gap, and saw a man with a small beard and a dignified appearance sitting on the main seat of the main hall drinking tea, not coming here to climb Wu Zhi, and there was still a little unhappiness on his face.

"Dean Wu Hong, you came here to see Dean Wu Zhi, you are all surnamed Wu, and you were all a family hundreds of years ago!" Li Yan greeted the man with a smile, and the man was the vice president of the art academy, Wu Hong.

"Our family is a Danqing family, but there is no one who sells baked cakes." Wu Hong said disdainfully.

As soon as the words fell, Wu Zhi didn't do anything, Li Yan and everyone were embarrassed, how could a boss just come to take office, and expose people's shortcomings?

Especially Li Yan, his face was extremely embarrassed, just now he swore to Wu Zhi that there is no way here, it seems that where there are people, there will be fights!

In fact, Wu Zhi didn't care, and he didn't know why, Zhu Mian was exposed to so many officials, and Wu Zhi hated him in his heart, but now that Wu Hong has exposed his old background, Wu Zhi feels that it's not a big deal, maybe it's all Wu Zhi's kind here.

"He's such a straightforward character, don't you care."

Li Yan smiled bitterly at Wu Zhi, and then deliberately avoided this stubble and introduced others to Wu Zhi.

"This is Li Tang ......"

"This is Zhang Zeduan......"

…………

Li Yan introduced them one by one, although Wu Zhi was dedicated to learning from future generations of American presidents, and he could remember the names of his subordinates for the first time, but after Li Yan finished introducing him, Wu Zhi didn't remember a single name.

In fact, I also remembered a person's name, that was Zhang Zeduan, Wu Zhi just felt that this name was very familiar, déjà vu, as if he had seen this name before.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi couldn't help but look at the young painter named Zhang Zeduan, and said in his heart, Could it be that this product also appeared in the Water Margin?

Let me think about it!

"That, Dean Wu, our family will leave, and Li Tang will tell you all kinds of matters here."

After Li Yan left these words, he slipped away.

"Lord Dean, here is the art school of the Academy of Painting, my lord has just arrived, why don't I take you around?"

Everyone was still in the hall, and the young man named Li Tang approached Wu Zhi and asked.

"Don't be busy yet."

Wu Zhi waved his hand, and then looked meaningfully at Wu Hong, who was drinking stuffy tea in front of him, he wanted to deal with this family first.

Obviously, this Wu Hong looked at Wu Zhi very unpleasantly, thinking that it was because Wu Zhi robbed him of his position as dean, so he was not convinced.

"Does Dean Wu have any slight remarks about the subordinates?" Wu Zhi strode forward and sat down next to Wu Hong, "If there is, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I will definitely correct it." ”

"You are Dean Wu, I don't dare to be!" Wu Hong glanced to the side and said leisurely: "Your martial arts official is famous, how dare I have any dissatisfaction?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled and motioned to the onlookers to sit down, Wu Hong is the vice president of the academy, if he is not dealt with, the academy will inevitably be discordant in the future.

But Wu Zhi also saw that Wu Hong was just making a little mood, and he couldn't trouble himself at all.

And if he really wants to squeeze out Wu Zhi, or wants to rectify Wu Zhi, there are two ways, one is to unite with other people in the academy to turn his face and ignore Wu Zhi; One is that the yang is contrary to the yin, and the surface is respectful and secretly makes stumbling blocks......... Anyway, if it was Takeshi, Takeshi would do it.

But now that the people in the Manchu Academy are polite to Wu Zhi, what's the use of making a fuss about him alone?

Cleaning up this kind of scheming person, Wu Zhi can cure him honestly with a little means.

However, since it is a new official who has taken office, Wu Zhi is still in line with the principle of convincing people with virtue.

"If you have no resentment against me, why are you sneering at me like this?" Wu Zhi said with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just don't think you deserve to be this dean!"

Wu Hong said unceremoniously, and everyone else changed their faces one after another, but Wu Zhi still smiled unchanged.

"How do you get it?"

Hearing Wu Zhi ask like this, Wu Hong snorted coldly, he knew that Wu Zhi was alluding to him being unworthy.

"I have a question, if you can answer it, you are worthy of being the dean, and I will be convinced by you, but if you can't answer it........."

Wu Hong snorted coldly again and said, "Just get out of the Hanlin Painting Academy for me!" ”
