Ask for recommendations, ask for subscriptions*** In the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Yi is like a dazzling comet. Militarily, externally, he fought the Khitan in the north, the party in Xiping, and joined forces with the Divination Department, which made the Liao State angry.

Internally, he reformed the military system, drastically reduced redundant troops, saved tens of millions of military expenses for the imperial court every year, and at the same time initiated the change of conscription to conscription, which effectively prevented the further growth of military spending; The term of military service for retirement at the age of 35 was stipulated, which ensured the combat effectiveness of the Song army.

At the same time, grenades, artillery, and flintlock pistols were developed, which laid a solid foundation for the Great Song Dynasty, an agrarian nation, to defeat the nomads.

In terms of politics and people's livelihood, he took advantage of the opportunity of chasing down and abolishing Gao Taotao, vigorously abolished redundant officials, and eliminated the rule of officials. It proposed a unified tax and levy it on a mu basis, opening up a broad road for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.

He participated in the reform of the imperial examination system, so that the official school abandoned the main word endowment, and changed to the educational concept of practical use in the world.

He promoted river control projects, encouraged industry and commerce, opened up the Silk Road, stimulated maritime trade, and solved the money shortage...... Although he did not do this alone, they all played a pivotal role.

He's so dazzling! It is so dazzling that the stars in the sky lose their brilliance!

Just like when Su Dongpo chanted "I want to go back with the wind", the gorgeous words that drifted out of the dust overshadowed everyone's lyrics.

You can attack Su Dongpo's habits and character, but you must not deny Su Dongpo's talent and his contribution to Xia Hua's civilization.

Whoever attacks him with this will have the word "jealousy" unmistakably engraved on your forehead.

Now no one can deny Yang Yi's talent in military and politics, so most of the people who attacked him this time also made a fuss about his character.

In the past, the Chinese people did not know much about the neighboring Liao State. knows even less about Japan, almost isolated, what Yang Yi did in Japan, no one knew originally; However, the last time the fleet sent to the big faction to transport silver, there were many shipwrights, non-commissioned officers who escorted the ship, and many officials who led the team, although they only anchored in Kakukaport and did not have the opportunity to enter the interior of Japan, but they could always hear some rumors.

The officials who impeached Yang Yi were attacked on the basis of these rumors.

When Lu Zhen went back, Yang Yi had repeatedly warned that he must keep silent about the trip to Japan, these hundreds of people were the descendants he personally brought out, and Yang Yi did not treat them badly this time.

Yang Yi believed that before he fell, even if these hundreds of soldiers could not guarantee their loyalty, there would definitely not be many people who betrayed him. If only a few people came forward to testify, Yang Yi had his own way to deal with it.

He waited quietly in Hangzhou, waiting for Zhang's reaction, and among all the officials, Yang Yi was most concerned about Zhang's attitude.

At the same time, he is waiting for those who want to impeach him to jump out, is it the enemy? Is it a comrade-in-arms? It's better to distinguish clearly.

In this "downfall of Yang" incident, Cai Jing and Lin Xi were undoubtedly his staunchest allies, and in the court, the two tried their best to defend Yang Yi.

This made Yang Yi quite gratified, these two people have always been his key allies, this time to solve the problem of money shortage, it is Cai Jing who has benefited the most, if even he stabs him in the back, it will be too sad.

Now Yang Yi is not sad, his heart is as calm as water. Because Qing Niang said that you must be calm to learn painting.

The window is half-open, and the spring rain drops fall on the flowers and trees in the garden, such as light smoke and mist, and the sound of dripping under the eaves adds a tranquility to the antique courtyard.

The two maids who had nothing to do stood on the opposite corridor, stretched out their white and tender wrists and followed the raindrops in front of the eaves, and from time to time they would bounce some water droplets on each other's faces, and there was a faint laughter in the rain curtain.

A fat yellow warbler landed on the rockery by the pool, grinding its mouth left and right on the rocks, apparently having just had a good meal among the apricot blossoms.

Xiao Cui, who was hanging under the eaves, didn't know whether it was jealousy or what, and began to abuse Huang Ying: Stupid bird! Stupid bird! Stupid Bird...... Qing Niang couldn't listen to it anymore, so she stomped her feet and snorted: "Brother Yang, it's all you, you have taught Xiaocui badly!" ”

"Well, I have to admit it, but I didn't teach it, I scolded it, and now it scolds other birds with my words to scold it, it's like we copy other people's calligraphy and paintings, you can't copy well, how can you put the responsibility on the original?"

Qing Niang was so twisted by him that she couldn't turn for a while, a pair of crescent moons stared at the full moon, and Sakura's lips squirmed, as if she was thinking about refuting his words.

There is a crested jade hairpin on her head, and a string of pearls hangs down from the phoenix's mouth, reflecting the green silk cloud temples, which is extremely moving. He wears an agarwood-colored collared robe, decorated with vivid folded branches; The neckline and cuffs are embroidered with moire flowers, and the dress combines the narrow, thin, long, and strange characteristics of this era, outlining her slender waist to be delicate and slender, slender like the moon.

Yang Yi couldn't help but put his arm around her fragrant shoulder and said, "Okay Qingniang, let's leave it alone, didn't you say that you have to be calm to learn painting?" Let's learn to draw! ”

"Okay, Xiao Ai, you take Xiao Cui away first, so as not to disturb people."

Xiao Ai, who was serving Mo next to him, smiled!

Yang Yi walked to the table and spread out the plain paper, carefully studied the ink, and there was a beautiful pen holder made of red sandalwood on the table, several rods and wolves of different sizes, the sequence hung on the pen holder, Yang Yi selected one and handed it to Qing Niang.

Qing Niang was accustomed to his meticulous care, and couldn't help but smile at him when she took the pen; She didn't get ink at first, gently rolled up her sleeves, exposed her wrists, pointed to Ouyang Xiu's picture of "Huangxi Night Park" on the table with a pen, and explained to him seriously: "To learn landscape painting, the main thing is to copy carefully, and then practice more. This requires beginners to understand the idea of the original work, the key to shape, composition, charm, pen and ink, and color, so that they can be confident, and then write, not without thinking, rash hands-on ......"

When it comes to calligraphy and painting, Qing Niang is extremely focused and serious, and the intellectual beauty exuded by her demeanor makes her a poem and a painting in herself.

Her calligraphy and painting are not necessarily very clever, but the theoretical skills are solid, Yang Yi's predecessor also learned some painting, he knows what Qing Niang said, but he doesn't want to interrupt Qing Niang, just like a primary school student, from the most superficial things such as ink mixing and pen movement to learn from Qing Niang.

He is not bored at all, but feels that this is a spiritual enjoyment, all because of Qing Niang, a girl like smoke, rain, wind, dew, snow, moon, poetry, and picturesque.

Outside the window, the smoke and rain outside, the ink fragrance in the window is permeated, Qing Niang explained the learning concept of landscape painting, the jade finger brush, Hao wrist flow, while putting down the pen on the plain paper, while continuing to explain the specific painting method.

"In landscape painting, mountain stones are usually indispensable, and the essentials and order of painting stones are to first hook and then paint, and then add and dye them. First, use light ink to outline the outline of the stone, and gradually deepen it, so as to have the image of the real before the virtual, the first deep and the then the light; The pen is easy to start with, the pen is heavier, and the direction of use can be from top to bottom, or from bottom to top, depending on the image of the mountain stone and the need for flexible choice; The stone shape is varied, varied, the starting hand and the pen turn should be powerful, the center and the side are used together, and the ink is used both dry and wet......"

Yang Yi looked at Qing Niang quietly, looking at this picture of a lady with a light ink landscape as the background, that one eyebrow, one smile, one movement and one stillness, such as Lanyou, such as chrysanthemum, such as water soft, such as Bingqing, such as Yujie, he doubted that even if he used up his life, he could outline her charm to the fullest.

The girl was looked at by him, and seemed to be aware, and couldn't help but sneer: "Brother Yang, what are you looking at?" Did you hear what people told you? Yikes! Ignore you! Anyway, other people's calligraphy and painting are not good, you better go find another famous teacher! ”

"Brother Yang suddenly remembered a song, Qingniang, can I sing it to you?"

"Song?"

"Hmm!"

"Okay, you sing, don't you sing anymore I'm a wolf from the north, I don't want Brother Yang to be a wolf again!"

"Hehe, this time it's not the wolf of the north, it's the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, you listen: the plain embryo outlines the blue and white strokes, and the peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup. The gloomy sandalwood through the window is clear to me, and the pen on the rice paper is half aside; The charm of the oil rendering maid picture is privately hidden, and your smile is like a bud waiting to be released, and a wisp of your beauty is scattered, going to a place where I can't go; Azure is waiting for the smoke and rain, and I'm waiting for you. Smoke rises from the stove, thousands of miles across the river. At the bottom of the bottle, the book is engraved to imitate the elegance of the previous dynasty, just when I foreshadowed to meet you.

The azure is waiting for the smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you, the moonlight is salvaged, and the clouds open the ending, like the blue and white porcelain that has been handed down from generation to generation is beautiful alone. A smile in your eyes.

Outside the curtain, the banana provokes the patina of the shower knocker, and I passed by the small town in the south of the Yangtze River to provoke you, in the splashed ink landscape painting, you are hidden from the depths of ink, azure and other smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you. Smoke rises thousands of miles across the river......"

The rain under the eaves outside the window is dripping again, such as the sound of the piano and the response, the spring breeze enters the curtain, blowing away a wisp of incense, Qing Niang is silent, I don't know what she is thinking, but the beautiful face is slowly red, red like the apricot blossom day in February in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yang Yi took her hand and stood in front of the window together, watching the smoke and rain permeate the tile surface of the opposite wing, infiltrating the upturned horse-head wall and the tender yellow willow silk beside the horse-head wall.

Qing Niang exudes a faint fragrance, very smelly, it is not rouge, it is orchid.

She glanced up at him leisurely, and her eyes were like a clear spring, clear and clear.

"Brother Yang, don't always spoil others, they will be spoiled by you!" She said wrivetingly.

"Do you know why I want to learn to draw?"

"Of course it's for ......" Seeing him shake his head, Qing Niang understood that it was definitely not as she guessed.

"I'm going to spend my whole life drawing someone!"

"Brother Yang......"

Qing Niang leaned her head into his arms, like a bird returning to its nest and a ship docking. A curtain of wind and rain lined the silhouettes of the two, like a picture of early spring.

The disputes in the court, the impeachment movement, this moment is not important to Yang Yi! There is only a window of smoke and rain in his eyes, like a poet!
