Chapter 219~220 In the Imperial Garden
At the same time as Emperor You Tianji's expedition to Korea, the cannon of the Eastern Governor's Mansion began the war, and at the beginning of the war, it seemed that this was a support for North Korea, but in fact, it had other plans.
The North Korean envoy Han Nuan was delayed for half a month in the Lifan Yuan. Seeing that the Ming Cabinet still had no intention of sending troops to rescue, he had to rush to the Jinghai Marquis Mansion in person to meet Deng Haonan and ask for help.
On the one hand, Deng Haonan stabilized Han Yu and promised Han Nuan to help, but on the other hand, he delayed it with the court's lack of permission and insufficient military spending.
As a result, in less than a month, Korea was conquered by the Later Jin army, and the city was opened to pay tribute.
North Korea was conquered by the Later Jin so quickly, which really shocked the Ming court.
Zhu Youxiao smoked a lot of cigarettes and had no time to take care of politics. The outside affairs were only known to the information provided by Tang Jing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the reports of the largest intelligence agency, Dongchang, were very few.
The main reason for this result is that the father-in-law of the sixth son is very important because of his meritorious escort, and the emperor and empress are heavy. Coupled with Di Haonan's secret funding of a large amount of silver, Xiao Liuzi became the biggest celebrity in the inner court at a young age, serving as the head of the inner court and supervising the affairs of the East Factory.
Because of the relationship between Xiao Liuzi and Deng Haonan. When the guards of the East Factory investigated the matter, most of them would avoid matters involving Deng Haonan and the Liaodong Governor's Mansion.
It is precisely because of Deng Haonan's close relationship with Xiao Liuzi. As the two spy leaders, the Dongchang led by Xiao Liuzi and the Jinyiwei led by Tang Jing became opponents. Na Haonan naturally wants to help Dongchang suppress Jinyiwei. And the cabinet in order to fill the fiscal shortfall. To make up for the catastrophe brought about by the Wei Zhongxian era, the huge East Factory and Jinyi Wei personnel were cut.
Because of Deng Haonan's relationship, the cabinet showed mercy when cutting the personnel of the East Factory. Only one-third of the unrelated personnel were cut, and the scope of intelligence was also narrowed from all over the surrounding countries of the Ming Dynasty to the country. And Tang Jing is the eyes and ears of the emperor. Na Haonan was jealous of his body, so Jinyiwei was cut by three-quarters of the personnel.
In this way, the original Jinyiwei was not as large as the Dongchang sphere of influence, and after Deng Haonan's covert operation, the scale of Jinyiwei was reduced to be limited to the Jingshi Shuntianfu. Funding has shrunk to the point where it can barely sustain day-to-day expenses. made Tang Jing's desire to extend the Jinyiwei intelligence network beyond Shuntian Mansion came to naught.
Tang Jing knew that Deng Haonan was doing things behind his back, but he had no evidence to accuse Deng Haonan. Moreover, the emperor and empress trusted Deng Haonan more. The cabinet officials were bought by Deng Haonan, the governor of Dongchang was Deng Haonan's good brother, and the prestige of the folk Deng Haonan was the pillar of the country. Of course, Tang Jing except for the hint to Emperor Zhu Youxiao. also hinted at Queen Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan naturally knew that Tang Jing was out of kindness, but Zhang Yan had her plan in her heart, that is, she hoped to use herself to guide Deng Haonan to do things for the imperial court. Therefore, Zhang Yan's advice to Tang Jing is. As long as Deng Haonan has no intention of rebellion, then don't mess with him.
Inside the back garden of the Royal Palace. Tang Jing stood respectfully behind Queen Zhang Yan not far away, while Zhang Yan was comfortably pruning potted flowers in the company of several palace maids.
"Empress Qiyu". Tang Jing said: "Jiannu went east to Korea, and the king of Korea asked the imperial court to send troops to rescue. However, the Ministry of War shirked for a long time, the cabinet turned a blind eye, and the Liaoshen Third Route Army did not move
Zhang Yan has no interest in military affairs, and even if she is interested, she has no knowledge, let alone constructive suggestions.
"Wouldn't it be a good thing that Jiannu didn't come to bother the imperial court? Why is Commander Tang worried about Zhong Zhong's appearance? β
Tang Jing replied: "The queen doesn't know! At present, Kennu is surrounded by the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, Joseon and the Tokugawa shogunate, and is in isolation. Huang Taiji's eastward expedition to Korea was to break this situation. It not only cut off the allies of the imperial court, but also obtained the great benefits of opening the market. If North Korea loses, Huang Taiji will soon make a move against Mongolia, and when Mongolia also takes refuge in Jiannu, the north of the Ming Dynasty will fall into the hands of the enemy! β
Zhang Yan continued to prune her potted plants and asked, "Hasn't Mongolia already taken refuge in Huang Taiji?"
Tang Jing replied: "There are hundreds of tribes of Mongolia large and small, although the Great Khan Lin Dan died, and the Mongolian tribes fell into chaos. Some Mongolian tribes took refuge in Gu Taiji. But most of the Mongol tribes were still in a wait-and-see posture, between the Ming and the Jiannu. So that's it! Zhang Yan asked, "This palace doesn't understand these things. Commander Tang only said it if he had something to say! β
Tang Jing then said: "Huang Taiji is now accumulating strength, forming the Mongolian army flag and the Han army flag internally, and the eastward expedition to Korea first. This will be followed by a second westward expedition to Mongolia, forcing the Mongol tribes to release
Zhang Yan put down the scissors and turned around.
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the palace can only help you!"
Tang Jing nodded, naturally understanding. So he said: "At present, only the Liaodong Governor's Mansion has the ability to help, please make a decision as soon as possible." β
Zhang Yan sighed in her heart, and asked her to beg Na Haonan, if she continued like this, she was really worried that she would let Deng Haonan get in the way.
"This palace doesn't want to interfere in politics, you go to the emperor!"
Tang Jing sighed: "Weichen has just come out of the Qianqing Palace. The emperor was smoking with Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and Concubine Cheng, and Weichen knelt and waited for a long time. The emperor didn't look at Weichen either. β
"How can it be!"
Zhang Yan was immediately annoyed, not because Zhu Youxiao ignored Tang Jing, but because Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and Concubine Cheng all smoked big cigarettes and went crazy with the emperor.
This qiΔ is all thanks to Deng Haonan, in order to divide the relationship between Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan, Deng Haonan helped Concubine Cheng, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui to say good things when Zhu Youxiao was sober. At the same time, the smoke was also dedicated to the three imperial concubines.
The three imperial concubines wanted to be favored by the emperor, so they accompanied Zhu Youxiao to smoke a big cigarette and became Zhu Youxiao's smokers, so Zhu Youxiao doted on the three of them. was inseparable, and gradually alienated Zhang Yan. In order to please Zhu Youxiao, the three concubines united to suppress Zhang Yan and said bad things about Zhang Yan in front of Zhu Youxiao. Under the strong pillow wind, Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards Zhang Yan was much worse than before.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan spends a lot of time every day learning to cut potted plants to pass the time.
The harem struggle was cruel, Zhang Yan thought that without Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, he would be calm, but he didn't think that he would respond to Deng Haonan's words, don't expect any feelings in the palace.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan sighed and asked, "It's just that if the palace asks Lord Deng to send troops to North Korea, what if he takes the opportunity to ask to leave the capital?" β
Tang Jing replied: "Actually, it is far better for that lord to stay in the capital than to stay in the Liaodong Governor's Mansion!" β
Tang Jing didn't say it directly, but it was very clear. Leaving Deng Haonan two, one or two is a disguised deduction, and Deng Haonan directly enveloped the "continent civil and military officials" in the court. This allowed Deng Haonan's power to expand from overseas to Beijing, and it would gradually spread to all parts of the Ming Dynasty along the heart of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Yan had already understood what Tang Jing meant, but still asked, "Why do you say that?" He has broken away from the Liaodong Governor's Office. Changed from military attache to civilian official. Believe that time passes. It is no longer a threat
Tang Jing smiled bitterly: "The queen doesn't know anything!" The lord stayed in the capital, and his control over the Liaodong Governor's Mansion was stronger than before. At the same time, Wechen learned that the cabinet had stopped the weaving and the imperial ware factory for offerings and orders, citing the emptiness of the treasury. However, the Ministry of Officials issued new personnel appointments, and the Pingguan of Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving and the Tao of Jingdezhen Imperial Ware Factory were replaced by people from the Liaodong Governor's Office. β
Zhang Yan asked in surprise: "Isn't there no clothing and utensils available in the palace?" β
Tang Jing smiled bitterly: "Here's the problem!" Now Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving and Jingdezhen Imperial Ware Factory are under the management of Lord Deng, and there is no need for the imperial court to spend a penny, and Lord Deng will bear it. β
Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Scare the palace!" Wouldn't it be better that way? It's rare for Lord Deng to share worries for the court! β
Tang Jing rolled his eyes, smiled bitterly, and replied, "Didn't the queen see anything?" Lord Deng is committed to the worship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it is millions of taels of silver every year! The wool is out of the sheep."
Zhang Yan nodded, knowing what Tang Jing meant.
So he said: "Bengong naturally understands! It's just that at the moment, this can save the imperial court millions of taels of silver, which is a good thing for the imperial court. Lord Deng's mind is on gold and silver, it is better than him putting his mind on the army! β
"Just One"
Kohongu knows! Zhang Yan didn't want to listen to Tang Jing's verbosity.
Tang Jing was depressed, what he wanted to tell Empress SΓΉ was that he didn't look at Na Haonan's focus on gold and silver, but in fact, he invested the money he earned in the military.
Why can't everyone see Deng Haonan's true purpose clearly?
Tang Jing sighed and had to retreat.
Zhang Yan thought about it for a long time, she didn't want anything to happen on the border, and she didn't want to let Na Haonan leave Beijing. So, Zhang Yan summoned Deng Haonan into the palace.
Deng Haonan entered the palace, both eunuchs and palace maids were very welcome, not only because of the instructions of the little sixth son, but also because every time Deng Haonan entered the palace, he would bring a lot of jade agate and other small objects, although these things are not precious, but they can please the eunuchs and female officials in the palace.
The same is true today, Xiaoru, the palace maid who was in charge of leading Deng Haonan to see Zhang Yan, received a high-grade jade pendant from Deng Haonan as a reward.
"Thank you, little Master Hou!"
"You're welcome!" Deng Haonan asked with a smile: "I don't know what the queen has done in the past two days, is she in a good mood?" β
Xiao Ru smiled and said, "Lord Qiyu, the queen has been learning potted plants these days, and she is in a good mood. Just now, the commander of Jinyiwei asked Lord Tang to see him, as if he asked Hou Ye to send troops to help North Korea! β
"Little Ru! What nonsense is you talking about? β
With a coquettish shout, not angry and arrogant, Zhang Yan appeared in front of them.
Xiaoru hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said in horror: "The slave should die!" β
Deng Haonan coughed lightly and said, "Weichen see the queen Chitose!" β
was about to salute, but heard Zhang Yan say, "Excuse me!" β
Di Haonan hurriedly thanked her, pointed at Xiaoru and said, "This has nothing to do with Miss Xiaoru, I asked her a lot."
"Even the personal maid of the main palace dares to buy it!"
Zhang Yan glared at Deng Haonan angrily, in the entire harem, Deng Haonan's human offensive plus money offensive curried favor with most of the people. For Deng Haonan to do this, I kept inquiring about her situation. Zhang Yan was both angry and helpless, but also faintly happy.
"Forget it! It's not the first time." Zhang Yan glanced at Deng Haonan, turned to Xiao Ru and said, "I haven't thanked Lord Deng yet, otherwise this palace will definitely beat you!" β
Xiao Ruru was pardoned, and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.
Zhang Yan said with a vinegar taste: "You also give this and that, why don't you give a gift to the palace!" β
Deng Haonan smiled, waved his hand, and retreated from the palace maid. Zhang Yan was about to stop it, but she raised her hand but did not object in the end.
I only heard Na Haonan smile and said: "Actually, I'm ready, but I don't know when Yan'er will be in a good mood."
Deng Haonan called her Yan'er, this cheeky guy, Zhang Yan's repeated angry scolding didn't work, so he had to acquiesce.
"I'm in a good mood every day, except to see you!"
Then stretched out his green onion addiction jade hand, Deng Haonan hurriedly went over to hold hands, but was unexpectedly beaten by Zhang Yan.
"I mean, what about the gift you gave me?" β
Deng Haonan withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't bring it this time, why don't I ask someone to bring it now?"
Zhang Yan was a little disappointed, and then said: "No need! I'm looking for you! β
Deng Haonan listened attentively.
Zhang Yan asked, "It's been two months since I entered Beijing, why haven't I seen your wife?" ββγ
What does this woman want to do?
Deng Haonan was stunned for a moment and replied: "It's still in Liaodong!" β
Zhang Yan thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "I heard that your wife is a stunning beauty." Deng Haonan coughed lightly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Yan's gourd, so he replied: "That is less than one ten-thousandth of the queen." β
knew that Deng Haonan deliberately said that it sounded good, but the woman was naturally happy when she was praised.
"Hongu wants to meet her!"
Deng Haonan was stunned for a moment. Then laughed:. Okay! We're going to meet sooner or later! Then I don't know when Yan'er will leave for Liaodong! β
"The beauty you want". Zhang Yan said angrily: "I mean, you brought your wife to the capital to see me." β
Deng Haonan laughed and said: "There must be a first come, first come, first come."
"What's coming first, that's coming?"
Zhang Yan didn't know why, and then saw Deng Haonan's ambiguous eyes, and immediately understood what it meant to come first and come later.
Zhang Yan suddenly said angrily: "I am the queen, you let me go to see her?" β
"No! This palace is the biggest, she has to come to see me! β
Zhang Yan was angry. I didn't know that I was talking too ambiguously. However, she soon saw that Hao Nan was holding back a smile. Only then did I understand.
Zhang Yan's cheeks suddenly turned red, burning all the way to her neck. The red ones are like ripe apples.
"Don't think crooked!" Zhang Yan said embarrassedly: "I mean I'm the queen, your wife is just a lady, I'm older than her, of course she came to see me!" β
"Little understood! Got it! Di Haonan forced a smile.
"You are not allowed to look at it like that
"You are not allowed to laugh when you are small".
"You're still laughing!"
Deng Haonan covered his mouth and squeaked: "I don't laugh!" β
"Forget it!" Zhang Yan calmed down for a moment and said, "Anyway, I stopped your shameless mouth, but I can't stop your filthy heart, what you love has nothing to do with me." In short, this palace wants to see your wife, you hurry up and arrange it, give you five days, give you three days! β
Deng Haonan smiled on his face, but there was not much smile in his heart.
Picking up girls is just a means for Deng Haonan to pass the time, which does not affect his judgment.
Zhang Yan didn't hold a grudge against herself, and she had already burned high incense, and the qiΔ that Hao Nan did just didn't want Zhang Yan to stumble on herself. Now Zhang Yan suddenly wants to see his lady Wanshu, I'm afraid she has another plan!
"I don't think there's a need for this! , Xiao Deng Haonan rolled his eyes and said: "Neizi is really a willow posture, I don't dare to let her enter Beijing, for fear of scaring the queen's daughter's body!" β
"Imonomiya is not afraid!" Zhang Yan suddenly said: "Aren't you going to take this palace as a concubine?" That's just right, I'm just going to see how good your tigress really is, and then I'll think about it! β
ββ
This time it was Deng Haonan's turn to be surprised and nervous!
"I don't think that's necessary!"
Zhang Yan suddenly found that Di Haonan was a little scared in her eyes, which made her a little puzzled, it was the first time she saw Deng Haonan when she was scared.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Yan tilted her head and stared at Na Haonan, as if she wanted to see through Na Haonan's true heart.
"What am I afraid of!"
Zhang Yan suddenly smiled: "I know!" β
"What do you know?"
"I heard that if a folk man steals a woman behind his wife's back, then his wife will not give him a good face, and he will chase her man and lover all over the street, which is very wolf!"
Deng Haonan was happy and said, "Then do you know a lot?" β
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I just don't know, if the marquise is against the queen, what will be the result?" β
"That's hard to say!" Na Haonan smiled brightly: "I think it's free."
Zhang Yan saw from Na Haonan's eyes that Na Haonan was very nervous about her wife, which made her very jealous.
"I don't care! I have already issued a decree to recruit your wife to Beijing! β
"Why did you summon her to Beijing if you had nothing to do?"
Zhang Yan said: "She is a super-grade marquise, according to the court etiquette system, the edict of the knight is to go to the queen's palace to deduct grace."
"It doesn't have to be like this!"
"Do you or not!
ββ
Deng Haonan was speechless, it seemed that Zhang Yan was really playing.
"Then I tell you not to ask the man if he is okay or not!"
Zhang Yan didn't know why, and asked, "Why?" β
Deng Haonan took a deep breath and said with a smile: "In front of women, men are always good!" β
Seeing that Zhang Yan still didn't understand much, Deng Haonan added: "Whether it's on the bed or under the bed, I understand!" β
Zhang Yan finally understood. The cheeks, which had just been restored to tenderness, suddenly burned again.
Shame and anger: "You are going to die! "If you grab a pink fist, you have to hit someone.
Deng Haonan dodged left and right, but he didn't dare to run away, because he was afraid that as soon as he ran, he would immediately lead Zhang Yan to chase and beat him, and it would be bad if he was seen by the palace maids in the distance.
"Calm down! Calm down".
Zhang Yan may have endured that Yi Nan for a long time, and if she doesn't vent her anger, her heart must be unbalanced. So he ignored Deng Haonan's advice and persuasion, and added punches and kicks.
Although Zhang Yan's strength was not great, Na Haonan knew that now was not the time to fight, so he quickly restrained Zhang Yan's hands and feet, and carried Zhang Yan behind the flower bed to prevent being seen by others.
Zhang Yan was hugged by Na Haonan, and was suddenly shocked, and subconsciously wanted to shout.
Deng Haonan saw that the situation was not good, and suddenly felt that the other party's fragrant lips were close in front of him, and secretly paid if he didn't take advantage of her at this time, when would he take advantage of her, and kissed her moist red lips heavily.
Zhang Yanjiao's body trembled violently, her mind was blank, and she suddenly forgot to resist.
However, Zhang Yan soon remembered the night with Deng Haonan, and the lingering feeling of suffocation rose at the same time, but also brought out her fear at that time.
Bang!
Zhang Yan pulled out her hand violently and pushed away Na Haonan's strong kiss. gave Deng Haonan a slap.
Deng Gu Nan was in pain, and saw Zhang Yan glaring at her angrily, so she put her hands on her cheeks. Sealed her lips again.
Zhang Yan was stunned, and immediately became angry. When he was about to suffocate when he was kissed by Deng Haonan, he struggled away.
Seeing Zhang Yanjiao gasping and panting, Di Haonan was very proud. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan relieved herself. Then there was a wave and another slap.
Deng Haonan didn't dodge, and after eating her slap, he stepped forward again to clamp her face and grabbed her lips again.
Zhang Yan was dumbfounded! This time, it was completely convinced of Deng Haonan's face as thick as the city wall.
Another long kiss, Zhang Yan was almost suffocating. was let go by Deng Haonan to take a breath. Similarly, when Zhang Yan was released, Deng Haonan was slapped again.
However, Deng Haonan persevered and kissed him heavily for the fourth time.
Zhang Yan was completely defeated!
Yes! When Na Haonan let go of her for the fifth time, she didn't wave again, but acquiesced. Just like when she acquiesced to Deng Haonan calling her Yan'er, this time she fell into Na Haonan's arms and acquiesced to Di Haonan's lightness towards her.
Deng Haonan straightened the messy hair in front of Zhang Yan's forehead, and when he lowered his head and kissed her again, he didn't need to wrap his hands around her anymore, but Zhang Yan didn't dare to look at Na Haonan, just closed her eyes and looked up and waited for the hot kiss to come.
At the beginning, Zhang Yan was fascinated by Deng Haonan's kiss, but she was still ashamed. However, as Deng Haonan's movements became gentle, the warmth of being loved rose in Zhang Yan's heart, and she took the initiative to intertwine with Deng Haonan's lips and tongue, resisting death.
Deng Haonan greedily groped Zhang Yan's back and buttocks with both hands, and the flowers were full of spring for a while.
Not far away is the waiting palace maid, the danger just now is enough to stimulate their love.
When the trouble was almost out of control, Deng Haonan stopped the invasion. Zhang Yan was in a state of mind and clear, her face flushed, and she threw a grateful look at Deng Haonan.
After tidying up Zhang Yan's hair and clothes, Di Haonan inevitably ate Zhang Yan's tofu again.
After packing up, Deng Haonan asked Zhang Yan why he had to let his wife enter Beijing. Zhang Yan then told Deng Haonan about the situation...... I just want to detain your wife as a hostage, how can I say shyly! "I just hope you don't get my heart set on me
Deng Haonan was not surprised by the matter of helping North Korea, because he had already learned from Xiao Ru that Tang Jing had just mentioned it
Zhang Yan wanted Deng Haonan to help North Korea, but she didn't want Deng Haonan to leave Beijing, so she thought about detaining Deng Haonan's wife in the capital and waiting for Na Haonan to come back. Zhang Yan didn't know why she did this, but it wasn't until she was entangled with Deng Haonan just now that she knew that she had incorrigibly fallen in love with the "bad man" in front of her.
"I want to meet your wife. All right?.
Deng Haonan was stunned, the queen who was high above finally became shy like a little woman in front of her.
"It's good!"
Deng Haonan thought twice in his heart, and finally agreed to Zhang Yan's request.
Zhang Yan and Deng Haonan talked for more than an hour, and in order not to arouse suspicion, Deng Haonan took the initiative to end the meeting.
Looking at Zhang Yan's reluctant Hanchun expression, Deng Haonan said that the future is long, which suddenly made Zhang Yan embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to the crack and get in.
Deng Haonan walked for a while, and Zhang Yan stayed in place in a silent daze, smirking from time to time. Until dinnertime. Zhang Yan just went back to the dormitory.

Pinsy, as the name suggests. Also known as "carved silk." "It is the most traditional kind of ornamental silk fabric in China. Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, it has been one of the royal fabrics, commonly used to weave imperial and queen clothing, royal statues and calligraphy and painting of celebrities. Because the weaving process is extremely meticulous, the stumbling is often better than the original, and the surviving fine products are extremely rare, which is the highlight of today's weaving and embroidery collection and auction. Often, "an inch of silk and an inch of gold" and "the saint of weaving" are famous.
Deng Haonan skillfully seized Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving, so he naturally wanted to make great use of it. In addition to appointing his own people to serve as the superintendent of the six products, he also transferred weavers from the Taiwan government to work in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The purpose is to get the tribute silk fabric technology in Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving. After all, this official position will be taken back by the imperial court one day, and it is better to put it in your own home for insurance.
The reason why silk has become a royal item has become the essence of silk art. In addition to the high-quality silk material, it is mainly because this is a kind of silk weaving handicraft that shows the pattern of warp and weft, forms the boundary of the pattern, has the effect of carving and carving, and has a double-sided three-dimensional effect. The method of weaving pins is different from embroidery and brocade. It adopts the "through warp and weft breaking." The small weaving method, and the weaving method of the general brocade is the warp and weft method, that is, the weft thread penetrates the entire width of the fabric.
In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court advocated frugality and stipulated that the silk was only allowed to be used for edicts and decrees, so the output of silk was very small. The Ming court "Imperial Supervisor." Under the "small Ping silk made, to the production of the edge of the silk." However, after the Xuande Dynasty, with the prosperity of the national strength, the ban was gradually relaxed, the weaving was more and more, and the calligraphy and painting of Ping celebrities were re-copied. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the production of Pingsi had become prosperous again, and the works were mainly produced in Suzhou, Nanjing and Beijing. Pingsi's artistic style is deeply influenced by the literati paintings in the south of the Yangtze River, and many copies of the paintings of famous artists at that time, such as Wu Xi, Zhu Liangdong, Wang Tong, etc., are famous for a while, among which Pingsi's "Yaochi Offering Longevity", Pingsi's "Shen Zhou's Peach Immortal Picture" and other masterpieces were finally collected by the court.
The production of royal silk was monopolized by the royal family, and the decorative meaning of the technique was particularly strong, creating new techniques such as phoenix tail and twin mother, and even mixing precious materials such as peacock feathers in the weft to show the royal style. This period coincided with a time of great changes in Chinese clothing, economic competition between small workshops in the Jiangnan region, and new methods of high-end fabrics were being tried, and the texture was becoming softer and softer. And so it came into being.
At this time, due to the annual tribute of Suzhou and Hangzhou to pay tribute to the gorgeous silk clothes, the deep harem loved. As a result, the requirements for silk became higher and higher, which led to Jiangnan Weisi already having a considerable scale and forming its own style. At that time, there were already a group of artists in Lu Mu Town, outside Qimen, Suzhou, engaged in silk weaving. The famous craftsman Zhu Liangdongping's "Yaochi Offering Life Map" has a clear outline and is particularly outstanding.
The biggest feature of the Ming Dynasty silk is that it was used by the emperor to make the emperor's dragon robe. The second is to combine realism with decoration, with the content of landscapes, flowers and birds, characters and calligraphy, etc., mainly small albums, rich in decoration; In particular, the Pingweaving figure is unprecedented, and it can be called a great innovation. Shen Zhou's "Sowing Peach Fairy" and "Playing Baby" by the famous artist Wu Xiping, the characters are all Pingweaving, the form is vivid and lifelike, presenting the unique style of shore silk art.
From the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the silk weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River has been firmly controlled by the imperial power. It also became a symbol of imperial power. The dragon robes and robes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the daily necessities in the palace, and the official supplements of the symbols of the official rank are all high-grade masterpieces in Pingsi.
The ribbon has its own special loom, a silk machine, which is a simple plain weave machine. When weaving, the warp thread is first installed on the loom, and the warp line is lined with a drawing or book manuscript, and the weaver passes through the warp. The colored patterns of the drawings are depicted on the warp surface with a brush, and then they are woven in pieces with a boat-shaped small shuttle pattern about 10 centimeters long and equipped with various silk threads. The weft of the same color does not have to run across the entire frame. Just change the shuttle according to the outline of the pattern or the change of the color of the picture.
The edge silk can change colors freely, so it is particularly suitable for making zuΓ² calligraphy and painting works. The weaver who weaves the color weft must have a certain artistic attainment. The structure of the edge silk fabric follows the "fine warp and coarse weft", "white warp and color weft, straight warp and curved weft". and other principles. That is: the natural color warp is fine, and the color weft is coarse. With the weft shore warp, only the color weft is shown without revealing the warp, etc. Because the color weft is fully covered on the upper part of the fabric. After weaving, it will not affect the effect of the picture pattern due to the shrinkage of the weft.
Pingsi is an ancient handicraft art, and its weaving tools are a wooden machine, dozens of small bamboo shuttles equipped with various colored wefts and a bamboo plectrum. When weaving, the artist sits in front of the wooden machine, according to the pre-designed pattern outlined on the warp surface, constantly changing the shuttle back and forth to weave the weft, and then using the pick to arrange the weft tightly. Weave a piece of work. It is often necessary to change tens of thousands of shuttles, and the length of its flowering, the depth of effort, and the essence of weaving can be imagined.
Because Pinkie was monopolized by the royal family, the amount was small. The price of the silk is five times that of the finest silk satin, and the finished product is more than ten times that of the finished product.
Deng Haonan naturally did not dare to sell these things in the Ming Dynasty, first, few people could afford to buy them, and second, the royal tribute was to be killed if it was lost to the people. Therefore, in addition to Deng Haonan's tribute to the palace, the remaining Pingsi will be sold overseas for huge profits. D
