Chapter 373: Count Dead Grass

Feng Bao knew very well that the scroll wrapped by Huang Aya was not "Qingming Riverside Map", because the original handiwork had already been stolen by the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor and the governor of Dongchang, and he also wrote a large inscription on the picture complacently! So he knew that there was no heirloom national treasure in the Huang Aya scroll at all!

The yellow silk scroll found from the imperial study, the imperial pen on the outside and the "picturesque" Xian Emperor Xianzhang are true or false, it has long ceased to matter; The important thing is that Empress Dowager Li has decided that this is a national treasure given to Zhu Xizhong by the last emperor's will, and Feng Bao has not denied it for so long in his hand.

As the king of a country, is it necessary for Emperor Longqing not to put the original work of "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in the Yellow Silk scroll and use a fake painting to deceive Zhu Xizhong? It's a joke, and there's not the slightest possibility of a surname.

So, if the scroll is unfolded and everyone discovers that it is not the national treasure inside, who will be the thief?

From the very beginning, there were no more than three people: Emperor Longqing, the first emperor who put the scroll into the dark grid, then the Empress Dowager Li, who took it out with his own hands, and finally Feng Bao Feng, who always held the scroll in his hand and left everyone's sight more than once when waiting for Zhu Yingzhen!

Let's ask Feng Bao can rely on Emperor Longqing to deceive his courtiers, can he rely on Empress Dowager Li to play tricks? Or now say that Xianzhang and Yubi Zhu are fake, so what did you just do? Maybe it's you, who dropped the scroll from the inside out.

It's called yellow mud falling into the crotch of your pants - it's not, it's!

Qin Lin, you are so ruthless! Seeing that Zhu Yingzhen was about to uncover the Zhu Pen Imperial Approval sealed on the scroll, and then was about to unfold the scroll, Feng Bao was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head.

Empress Dowager Li actually knew that Feng Bao was greedy for money, and relied on him to manage the palace ban, contact Zhang Juzheng externally, and control the little emperor internally, so simply for a picture of the Qingming River, Feng Bao would not fall immediately; However, in front of everyone's eyes, there were Wu Qingbo Li Wei, the heir to Chengguo Gong Zhu Yingzhen, and many eunuchs and officials present, making a farce of "dropping bags", and he Feng Dugong's face was afraid that he would be thrown to Java, and the trust of the Queen Mother would also drop to an unprecedented low.

"Ahem," Qin Lin had already looked at Feng Bao's embarrassment in his eyes and reminded: "Feng Sili, don't you go through any formalities when this imperial gift is handed over in and out?" ”

Yes, yes, Feng Bao's head was like a chicken pecking rice, and he quickly snatched the painting from Zhu Yingzhen's hand, and said with a forced smile: "I still have to go to the imperial supervisor to go through some entry and exit procedures, little grandfather, wait a minute, the old slave will do it for you immediately." ”

After that, Feng Bao confessed to the Empress Dowager Li, turned around and left, walking fast, as if there was a ghost chasing behind him.

Wu Qingbo Li Wei looked at Feng Bao's back with some doubts, and said to himself: "Feng Sili is very wrong today. I remember that he was quite arrogant in the past, and when he saw the old man, he ignored him, why was he willing to personally help people go through the entry and exit procedures at this time? ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled disapprenosantly, knowing that her father was as good as a daughter, and her father often went to the palace to ask for this and that, and Feng Bao must be poor to deal with it.

"Maybe it's Gonggong Feng's inner urgency," Qin Lin smiled, with a bit of ridicule in his expression.

Everyone laughed dumbly when they heard this, even the Empress Dowager Li couldn't help laughing, the eldest princess Zhu Yaoyao laughed even more, noticed Qin Lin's gaze, and quickly lowered her head with a red face - she knew a little bit of the inside story, and knew that Feng Bao was going to suffer a big loss, this master of ceremonies palm print, Dongchang Governor was so powerful inside and outside the palace, even Wanli Emperor Yanjing wanted to give him three points, but Qin Lin made fun of it at will, it was really undreamable.

"Brother-in-law Qin is really bad enough, maybe only a person like him can restrain the vicious and ruthless Gonggong Feng," the eldest princess thought.

Empress Dowager Li looked at her daughter strangely, and then smiled. Zhu Yaoyao's mood today is better than usual, and the smile on the thin melon seed face is more than doubled, dare it be because Xu Xinyi has talked about this Qin commander, so he always feels more familiar than others when he meets?

"I don't have time to accompany my daughter more, but I want to ask Xu Xinyi to come into the palace, Yao Yuan's smile is more today, of course, it's not good to be taken into a crazy girl by Naye Nizi......" Empress Dowager Li pondered.

Feng Bangning, Xu Jue and the others stared at Qin Lin with cold eyes, this guy dared to be so presumptuous, he actually talked nonsense about Feng Dugong in front of the Queen Mother, isn't he afraid of death?

Not long after, Feng Bao came over with a few little eunuchs, still holding the yellow silk scroll in his hand, and handed it to Zhu Yingzhen with some nervousness: "Virtuous nephew, the painting is extremely long, just take a look." ”

Zhu Yingzhen took the scroll at a loss, he has never been assertive, he will do what others say, since Feng Bao ordered, he first wet the cover of the imperial pen Zhu Pi with water, and then untied the yellow silk, which was indeed an antique painting scroll.

Feng Bao personally held one end of the scroll and slowly unfolded it, and everyone looked at it closely, only to see that the color of the scroll was slightly yellow, and it was indeed a famous painting from hundreds of years ago, and the pen was fine.

The painting is only eight inches wide and sixteen feet long, and Feng Bao and Zhu Yingzhen slowly unfold it, only to see the first section of the painting, in the mist of the sparse forest, there are several huts, grass bridges, flowing water, old trees and flat boats. Two porters drove five donkeys loaded with charcoal toward the city. A willow forest, the branches have just flashed tender green, making people feel that although it is cold in spring, the earth has rejuvenated. On the road, there is a sedan chair in which a woman sits. The top of the sedan chair is decorated with willow miscellaneous flowers, and the sedan chair is followed by the horseback rider and the burden-bearer, returning from the suburbs of Beijing to sweep the tomb.

Qin Lin has a sketch background, but also knows the benefits of this painting, see this Qingming Shanghe picture of the real content is rich, depicted Bianliang scenery in full view, as a long scroll of the structure is extremely rigorous, complex but not chaotic, long but not redundant, depicting the characters and meticulous, a prosperous and prosperous picture will jump in front of you.

Li Wei didn't know how to paint and calligraphy, and when he saw the cows, pigs, and people on the paintings, they were no different from those seen in the market, and the color and tone of the painting scroll were also very clumsy, so he was immediately disappointed and smacked his lips: "I said what a famous painting, it turned out to be just like that, and it was not as interesting as the flower and bird pictures at home." ”

Empress Dowager Li's artistic accomplishment is also extremely limited, but it is inconvenient to say that the things rewarded by her husband are not good, so she said to her father: "Since the emperor rewarded Cheng Guogong with this, the painting must be good. ”

Do you still need to be framed? It's about to be burned to the dead Chengguo Duke Zhu Xizhong.

Thinking that the national treasure that had been included in his bag was about to be burned, Feng Bao was very distressed, but he could hear the father and daughter talking in layman's terms, and he made his stomach hurt with laughter, so he couldn't help himself.

However, the Queen Mother and Li Wei were not interested in the picture, but they fell right into his heart and fulfilled his wishes.

"The Queen Mother and Emperor Li look boring, let's roll it up, this painting is very long," Feng Bao and Zhu Yingzhen said, and they were going to roll up the painting.

"If you want to see it, you can see it all!" Qin Lin suddenly walked over, took one end of the scroll from Zhu Yingzhen's hand, unfolded it vigorously with a hula, and said with a malicious smile: "Xiaguan wants to see the whole picture of the national treasure." ”

Qin Lin suddenly inserted in, and the sixteen-foot-long canvas unfolded rapidly, Feng Bao's heart shrank violently, only to feel that his heart had hung in his throat, and he almost wailed on the spot: Commander Qin, show mercy to your subordinates!

The eunuch in charge of the seal, the governor of Dongchang, one of the four people at the top of the pyramid of the highest power in the Ming Dynasty, looked at Qin Lin pitifully at this time, begging him not to kill them all, and his heart was already screaming: "Chief Qin, I even beat my relatives and nephews, and I didn't reveal the forgery of the emperor's imperial pen and seal......

When Feng Bao's pleading and soft meaning was overflowing, Qin Lin laughed, and no longer unfolded the scroll vigorously, but rolled it up again and stuffed it into Zhu Yingzhen's hand.

Oh my god! Feng Bao's head was wet with sweat, and the whole person almost collapsed, because as long as the painting was expanded by another one or two feet, the inscription he mentioned in the blank space of the picture would be exposed to everyone's eyes!

Yes, at the beginning, the Qingming Shanghe Tu was Feng Bao's greed for ink by relying on power, he was externally connected with Zhang Juzheng, and he was favored by the Empress Dowager Li internally, and Emperor Wanli still let him score three points, even Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale, the two eunuchs who knew a little about the inside story, did not dare to make a noise, isn't this painting firmly in the purse?

So he did not hesitate to regard himself as the real master, and proudly wrote a large inscription on the picture, but when Qin Lin's design prompted Li Wei to unexpectedly ask the Empress Dowager Li for a famous painting, Feng Bao fell into an unprecedented dilemma:

Don't hand over the painting, the internal and external parties are pressing; Hand over the painting, there is clearly an inscription on it that he claims to be the master, how to explain it?

Dig up the inscription, or scribble it out with ink? Please, that's simply three hundred taels of silver here, and Gonggong Feng will be laughed to death by the world!

So Feng Bao chose to carry it hard, and returned all the treasures collected elsewhere in the name of selling the treasures in the palace this time, including the four treasures of the eldest princess Zhu Yaoyuan, except for the Qingming Shanghe map, trying to get through the trick.

As for Qin Lin, Xu Xinyi asked Zhu Yaoyuan to do a favor, of course the eldest princess would not refuse, and Zhang Xiaoyang served in the internal official supervisor, with his relationship, it was really easy to put something in the secret compartment of the imperial study that had not been used for a long time.

As a result, Feng Bao made a wrong step and a wrong step, and from the moment he took the yellow silk scroll in his hand, he had no room to turn over, so he could only let Qin Lin lead him by the nose.

In desperation, when Qin Lin asked to unfold the scroll to watch, Feng Bao had no choice but to use the excuse to go through the formalities, and hurriedly replaced the fake painting inside with the original painting of the Qingming Riverside Picture that he had stolen before, and then used it for the errand.

On this authentic scroll, there was his inscription, so Qin Lin suddenly wanted to unfold the full scroll, and Feng Bao was at a loss.

Fortunately, Qin Lin finally didn't do anything desperately, Feng Changgong was in no danger this time, but he was soaked in cold sweat all over his body, and he almost fainted.

Zhu Yingzhen thanked Empress Dowager Li and left, Qin Lin also saluted and said goodbye, just turned a hall, someone chased after him, and his voice was gloomy: "Boy, you dare to forge the imperial pen and deceive the king!" ”

Qin Lin looked back and saw that it was Feng Bao who was chasing him, so he smiled and said, "Old thief, you dare to guard yourself and steal and be greedy for national treasures!" ”

"Let's go, let's not interfere with the river water in the future!" Feng Bao finally said what he wanted to say.

Qin Lin nodded with a smile, and after a long bow, he chased after Zhu Yingzhen.

Xu Jue, Feng Bangning, and Chen Yingfeng also chased after them, but they didn't hear the conversation between Feng Bao and Qin Lin, and stepped forward to complain, saying that Qin Lin was scolding Feng Dugong in front of Empress Dowager Li.

Smack, smack, smack! Three crisp and loud slaps were thrown on their faces, and Feng Baopi said with a smile: "Boys, be more restrained, in the future, we and Chief Qin's well water will not interfere with the river water." ”

Yes? Xu Jue and Feng Bangning looked at each other, and Feng Dugong's words seemed to say that Qin Lin was qualified to fight against him? This is simply unbelievable! But Feng Dugong was right in front of him, and what he said in person was absolutely not half false.

Standing on the high steps of the hall, watching Qin Lin's back disappear between the red walls and yellow tiles, the three of them gasped......
