Zhao Ji nodded his head and said in a low voice: "This Jin Dan, is it really poisonous?" ”

He fell silent, his face was slightly blue, Jin Dan, poisonous, the weight of these four words is really not light, just with this, the entire Bianjing City is enough to set off a bloody storm, and there are more than a thousand people involved.

Behind this poison pill, is there a heart or an unintention?

He seemed to remember a lot of the past, in the Duanwang Mansion, the little wooden chamberlain tugged at the corner of his clothes, and only said with a slight smile: "Lord Wang, your clothes are wrinkled, let the servants come and take care of them." ”

"Lord Wang, the minion has brought you a rare thing."

"Lord, why are you so careless, someone must take care of you when you ride a horse, if something goes wrong with you, the slave will die, and it will be difficult to atone for his sins."

In the eyes of others, these words with a sneer may be flattering, but for Zhao Ji, the concern contained in that sentence is still unforgettable.

How could such a person deliberately create a poison pill? How could you treat me like this?

"Father...... Father ...... "An Ning whispered to Zhao Ji who wanted to be in a daze."

"Huh?" Zhao Ji raised his eyes, looked at An Ning, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

An Ning said: "Father, what's wrong with you?" What kind of mind does not belong to? ”

Zhao Ji smiled calmly and said gently: "I'm wondering, will my closest person betray me, this person may have many flaws, but does he really have a different heart for me?" ”

An Ning said: "An Ning only knows that different people are different in the eyes of others, such as An Ning, in front of his father, An Ning is your daughter, no matter what An Ning does, his father will forgive." But for the palace attendants, An Ning is their master, and whatever An Ning does, they will only meet and greet each other, and they will never dare to disobey. But An Ning knows that An Ning is not flawless, there will also be joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and there will be people who love and spoil An Ning, and naturally there will be people who hate and hate and envy An Ning. ”

Zhao Ji was in a trance for a moment, and said with his jaw bowed: "Yes, you are right." Gently stroking An Ning's back, he said, "I understand." ”

At this moment, the sound of broken footsteps came softly again, Princess An Ning's eyes lit up, and she listened attentively, the footsteps got closer and closer, and then someone said: "Your Majesty, Shen Ao and Liang Shicheng are here." ”

Zhao Ji pursed his lips, but he didn't answer, looked at An Ning and said in a low voice: "An Ning, can we dry them?" ”

Princess An Ning raised her eyes and saw that Zhao Ji's face was full of urgency, but at this moment, the worried father was gone, and in his place, it was still the honest and uninhibited father in front of her, An Ning smiled and nodded violently: "Okay." ”

……………………………………………… There was no reply in the pavilion, and Yang Jian, who was waiting outside, had to call again: "Your Majesty, Shen Ao and Liang Shicheng are here." ”

There was still silence for a while, and Yang Jian secretly wondered in his heart, what was wrong? Obviously, this official family is in the cabinet.

Liang Shicheng, who was behind him, was a little apprehensive in his heart, and pulled Yang Jian's sleeve and said, "Father-in-law Yang, did you say anything when the official family made the will?" ”

Yang Jian looked back and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Liang, don't inquire about the news." The miscellaneous family doesn't know anything, and when you meet you, you will naturally understand. ”

Liang Shicheng was slightly angry in his heart, and said, "It can't be that someone is stumbling in front of the miscellaneous family, right?" Hmph, if it's true, the miscellaneous family is not easy to mess with. ”

Yang Jian knew that he was saying this to himself, but he didn't hear it, and said to Shen Ao with a smile: "Shen Gongzi, after a while, it will be the imperial examination of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, your calligraphy is good, and the miscellaneous family has signed you up. ”

Painting and calligraphy institute? This Shen Ao came to this era to know some eyebrows, the full name of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy is the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and the imperial examination is also carried out every three years, this kind of examination is similar to the examination of the special students of later generations, and there are also champions, Bangyan, Tanhua, Jinshi said, after the examination, you can be awarded an official position, or enter the Hanlin, or for the bachelors of each palace, and so on.

The system of painting academies in the Song Dynasty has been gradually improved, and the scale is extremely grand, which can be described as unprecedented. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu in order to recruit talents, first set up a painting academy, a large number of outstanding painters in the world, Huang Quan's father and son, Gao Wenjin father and son, and Yuan Renhou and other most outstanding painters at that time have entered the academy to serve, in addition to the Southern Tang Dynasty Zhou Wenju, Dong Yuan, Xu Chongsi and others, they gradually merged with some well-known painters who originally belonged to the Central Plains, making the entire Royal Painting Academy the most powerful painting base in the world.

However, at that time, the construction of the academy was not perfect, there was no strict system, there was no certain premises, staffing, and even the official grade was not determined.

After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the painting academy was restructured, and the talents in the painting academy were successively awarded official positions, and the painting academy was also changed to the Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy Academy, which consisted of seven or eight sub-institutions, of which the painting academy was the head, followed by the academy, and then the chess, Ruan, jade, and Qin academies, and it was also stipulated that those who were naturalized in the calligraphy and painting academy would be punished for every offense; Those who are guilty of serious crimes will also be judged by the recital.

The meaning of this sentence is that even if the talents who join the painting and calligraphy academy make mistakes, the government is not allowed to arrest them at will, and with this privilege, the painting test and the book test have become popular choices for a while.

In fact, in Taixue, the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy has already been set up, by the calligraphy and painting Hanlin, the attendants, and the bachelors are doctors, teaching students to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is the Guozijian, but only teaching the scriptures and articles, this time the art test, if it is not as expected, the Taixue Academy of Calligraphy and Painting has at least more than 20 Jinshi.

On the other hand, Guozijian, although the examination date for the art examination has been promulgated, but after all, he can't compete with Taixue in this regard, so he deliberately downplays this matter, that is, he does not dare to compete with Taixue, or it may be said that Guozijian is not even qualified to compete.

I heard that Yang Jian signed up for himself, Shen Ao only smiled slightly, in fact, there are many famous artists in the Great Song Dynasty, painters, calligraphers, treasure connoisseurs, and musicians, Shen Ao's level is naturally nothing to say, there is no problem in getting into the Jinshi, but it is really difficult to compete for the top three, for example, his calligraphy level is naturally higher than Zhao Ji, but although Zhao Ji's calligraphy has everyone's style, after all, he is the emperor, so his calligraphy is so famous in later generations, but in this era, how many unknown calligraphers have been annihilated?

You need to know that the most important thing for art is that someone should hold it! Someone praises, plus your own level, you can leave your name for eternity, otherwise thousands of years later, your works have been lost, and future generations will not see your true works, that is, no matter how high your attainments are, what can you do?

Therefore, in later generations, the praised calligraphers and painters are often either princes or generals, what Su Shi, what Zhao Ji, what Li Houzhu, Cai Jing, these people, themselves have a reputation, even if they painted an ordinary duck, with their handwriting alone, it is already worth a lot of money, if coupled with artistic achievements, it is naturally popular among later generations, but there are many bad calligraphers and painters, because there is no work to survive, and finally annihilated in history.

Therefore, although Shen Ao is very confident in himself, he is by no means blind.

But he has already signed up, and Shen Ao also has the heart to give it a try, no matter what powerful opponents he will meet, it is better to compete with each other, and get a title of Jinshi of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting to play, which is very interesting.

If you really have this fame, the dead eunuch surnamed Liang will not dare to plant a false accusation for no reason, you must know that the Jinshi of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, even if he is convicted of rebellion, what Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Jingzhao Mansion cannot be interrogated and detained, and no one can move him without a holy decree.

"Haha, if it weren't for Father-in-law Yang's reminder, my son would have almost forgotten this stubble." Shen Ao thought about it in his heart, and said to Yang Jian gratefully: "Yang Gonggong's good intentions, the students understand it, but it's ......."

Yang Jian saw that he was full of hesitation, thinking that he didn't want to take the exam, so he hurriedly said: "Shen Gongzi, your calligraphy, the miscellaneous family has seen it with your own eyes, and it is not much worse than the calligraphy of many calligraphy and painting academies, high school is a must, could it be that Shen Gongzi has any difficulties?" ”

Shen Ao smiled and said: "Exam, of course you have to take the exam, but the student is cheeky and wants to ask Yang Gonggong to register a few more names for the student, the student not only has to take the exam, but also the painting, music, and treasure ......" Shen Ao in a series, reported several scientific examination projects, the music is Ruan Yuan, and the treasure is the Jade Academy, these Shen Ao are a little sure, as for the painting academy, it is his forte, one person takes four exams, the pressure is so great, but this kind of thing, or casting a net all over the sky, there are always fish hooked, Shen Ao doesn't believe it, I couldn't get a first place in four exams.

Yang Jian was speechless, this guy is really insatiable, it is already difficult for others to take one exam, he has to take four exams in a row, and the entire calligraphy and painting academy is only five or six exams.

"Okay, good, Shen Gongzi has this ambition, and it is worth it for the miscellaneous family to go to the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy for an extra trip." Yang Jian looked at Shen Ao with a grin, and immediately accepted Shen Ao's request.

Shen Ao was secretly happy in his heart, it is said that there are thousands of scholars who apply for the examination of the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and it is not easy to sign up, even if it is to line up, this young master doesn't know when to queue, Yang Gonggong went to help him sign up, this guy has face, he can go to the back door to interject and say hello, what kind of bachelors and waiters can't obediently add their names?

Moreover...... Moreover, the cost of a registration, Shen Ao heard that it is ten, in fact, the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy is not collecting money, the art examination of this calligraphy and painting academy is different from the ordinary imperial examination, the ordinary imperial examination has to obtain a quota in the hometown before you can enter Beijing to catch the exam, but this calligraphy and painting academy is for everyone to sign up, therefore, in order to prevent someone from going to register for no reason but only going to the ghost to draw talismans, there is this measure.

It's a must, this registration fee will have to bother Yang Gonggong.
