"His Majesty's creative face is not as meticulous and delicate as that of the painters of the academy, but rather the rough ink painting. [Wu Dong Qiankun] penmanship is simple, not still lead, but natural fun. Ning Caichen's praise of Zhao Ji was sincere.

A person's calligraphy and painting can be sold for more than 100 million in later generations. From the point of view of a calligrapher-painter, he was definitely a successful painter, a great calligrapher.

Zhao Ji asked, "Then why can your paintings be sold for one or two million gold?" ”

It turned out that Zhao Ji's gaze was for this reason.

Some people love the country more than the beauty, and some people love the beauty more than the country, but Song Huizong loves art more than beauty, and loves beauty more than the country.

It is difficult to say whether the artistic value is high or low, and even the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable.

To give a popular example, the kettle used by Qin Shi Huang is estimated to have to be washed for ten or eight years if you want to use it now, so its use value is not mentionable. But the kettle used by Qin Shi Huang not only has use value, it is the most exquisite kettle made by the most well-known manufacturers, and it is not worth as much as the water margin used by Qin Shi Huang, because the water bottle used by Qin Shi Huang has artistic value and historical value.

Ning Caichen never thought that Zhao Ji would be jealous of himself. An emperor would be jealous of a petty official.

Ning Caichen felt that Zhao Ji was the night pot used by Qin Shi Huang, and he was at most from the hands of a master craftsman.

To be honest, Ning Caichen really wanted to explain to him like this.

Unfortunately, this is impossible, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I am winning by quantity." It cannot be compared with His Majesty. ”

"What's the difference? You've only painted one, and the rest is just engraving. ”

How do you explain this? Think about it, what is the commodity...... Oh yes......

"Your Majesty, I'm just thinking about it. People haven't seen it, so they flock to it, and when people see it a lot, they don't feel unusual. ”

Zhao Ji thought for a moment and said, "Okay! But if you have such a good idea in the future, you must tell me. Let me follow you too. ”

"Obey. "When you meet such an art emperor, in art, you can only do this.

"Okay!" Zhao Ji was very happy and said, "In this case, I won't take advantage of you, and I will only take half of the money you sell books." ”

After speaking, he frowned again and said, "But one or two million taels of gold, half of which is gone, there are also one million taels." All of a sudden, where am I going to raise so many weapons?"

Zhao Ji startled Ning Caichen again.

He's really giving it, Emperor, just say whatever you want, anyway, I just want a name.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was really thinking about how to make up a million taels of gold weapons, Ning Caichen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't need so many weapons. "This is to be said, even if more weapons are needed.

If you don't say it, how many people can be armed with so many weapons?

No matter how much you trust the civil service, too many people will bring about qualitative changes from quantitative changes.

Tell him again. Official, you will let the Jin people capture it in the future. The minister felt that he would tell His Majesty to it, and then persuade His Majesty to reform the military system...... The minister really has no faith. Therefore, the minister chose the easiest way, let the Jin people capture His Majesty, and then save His Majesty. It's much more convincing than words.

Can this be said?

Absolutely not. Even if Zhao Ji believes it, I'm afraid he can't change anything, military reform, things that violate the laws of the ancestors, Zhao Ji definitely doesn't have the courage.

So Ning Caichen could only say: "Your Majesty forgot, the minister has a fleet, so as long as Your Majesty converts some of the money into a boat." ”

"yes! Okay, that's it. ”...,

Talking to Zhao Ji is more convinced of the accuracy of history. Zhao Ji is a good person, but he is not a good king.

Ning Caichen said goodbye and left.

Zhao Ji let Tong Guan in. Although Tong Guan is a eunuch, he looks very good.

As a painter, he clearly prefers beauty. The people around him were all dignified, talking and laughing, and there was no villain on the surface. In the book, Wang Huang is a handsome and elegant showman, Tong Guan is fierce and majestic, Cai Jing is full of economy, and his poetry, calligraphy and painting are the best for a while. Zhao Ji's painting eyes are the best at finding beauty, and when he sees ugliness, he often sweeps it away.

It's a lot like a novel story book from this era. A good guy is good-looking, and a bad guy is a thief.

Zhao Ji grew up with such an education, and he also believes so.

"Your Majesty. Tong Guan greeted the salute. Then he asked, "How?"

Naturally, he asked about Ning Caichen's Divine Armor. Tong Guan is not a military general, but after looking at that armor, he can't help but want it.

Zhao Ji sat down, and there was no one left in the imperial study. "It's okay, I've already convinced Ning Aiqing. ”

Tong Guan said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. Helping the small state get what they want, they will definitely follow my instructions from the Great Song. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, very complacent. However, he was still a little worried: "This Jin man with armor is only one or two thousand, can he withstand the attack of the Liao?"

"So Your Majesty wants to give back this time, a large number of armor and weapons. Only the longer they make a fuss, the more chances we have. ”

"But can they?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this minister also brought Ma Zhi, a returnee from the south of the Liao Kingdom, to come. ”

Tong Guan summoned Ma Zhi, and Zhao Ji took a look at the talent. And Ma Zhi is good at arguing, which just gives him a chance to show his eloquence.

In just a few words, he persuaded Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was full of praise for Ma Zhi's opinions, gave him the surname Zhao, changed his name to Lianghei, and appointed him as secretary. So Ma Zhi, a scholar of the Liao Kingdom, became a good descendant of the Zhao family in the blink of an eye. The plan to seek Yanjing was also officially put on the agenda of the Song court.

The inertia of history is already strong. What's more, Ning Caichen, an insider, has no intention of blocking it.

This Zhao family is all demonic for the sake of Yanyun's sixteen states, not to mention that someone is teasing.

After Ning Caichen completed the transaction between Bai Ji and Zhao Ji, he walked towards his yamen alone.

Since the Zhizhi Decree has been abolished for a short time, it is also difficult to clean up, so Ning Caichen went directly to the Xingxing Bureau to work temporarily.

The eunuchs all had vision, and when they saw that Ning Caichen was coming to work today, they immediately moved in the chapter book of the outer court.

Recently, Concubine Zheng Guifei has not been so diligent, so this chapter has fallen on the public case, at least more than two feet high.

When people sit inside, it seems that they have entered a sea of books, which is very similar to the high school of later generations.

There's a lot of books in front of you, and no one can see what you're doing in there.

As a working secretary of the official family, a book of music flows through his hand. Ning Caichen thought that he was not an official fan, but his hands still couldn't help shaking.

The bitter men of later generations will one day sit here, the center of the country, driving the progress of a country. A few more people will not be excited.

Originally, he was just to write his will, but now that the emperor didn't come, and he had nothing to do, he couldn't help but look at it.

This is the center. What will these adults do, how could Ning Caichen not be curious.

This is like who entered the Zhongnanhai Secretariat in the next life, and on the first day of work, he also wanted to see the work materials he would be exposed to in the future.

Open a piece of music, which was played by the secretary of the provincial orthography Cao Fu, and wrote to advise Huizong to cherish the dragon body, so as not to be ridiculed by the world.

It turned out that Cao Fu said that Zhao Ji was lazy and did not go to the court, if he did not go to the court that day, he said that Huizong had a stall (drinking banquet in the palace), and if he did not return the next day, he called it a sore and no longer went to the court. ...,

This kind of music is a secret of the palace, Ning Caichen, a guy who has just entered the Dragon Gate, where does he know, he naturally reads it with relish. Anyway, if the emperor doesn't come, he doesn't have any specific work. The eunuchs couldn't control him.

It's more like going to high school. Use a book to block it, and the teacher will talk about it as a guest. Is this reading language, or romance and martial arts?

Just when Ning Caichen was reading carefully, someone suddenly opened Ning Caichen's book, oh, no, it's a chapter.

Ning Caichen immediately looked up, the man was dressed as just a six-grade petty official, but his demeanor was very arrogant, and he said with a very remarkable look: "The surname of the prince is only one chapter and one character, and on the order of the prince, I came to get the copy of the Yin of the Pei Mansion of the two Zhejiang Provinces, and Lord Ning will not bring it with me quickly!"

This prince is a character who accompanies the prince to study. However, no one dares to underestimate this role, because once the crown prince ascends the throne, he will naturally rise to the top.

About this single person was flattered by too many people around the prince, and the words he said were angry and funny.

This is also too much to take bean bags as dry food, so open fire and stick to the majesty, and do not look at the object.

Yes, you are the "secretary" of the future emperor, but Lao Tzu is the "working secretary" of the current emperor. You are playing prestige in front of me, and your brain has made the donkey kick, how can there be such an inexplicable fool around the prince?

Wait a minute...... People say that politics is dark, but what is the political purpose of this? I have risen too fast and made people red.

After thinking about it carefully, Ning Caichen felt that whether he was really stupid or fake, he didn't need to pay attention to him. How to say it, I also know the system, and theoretically I don't have to listen to anything except Zhao Ji's orders.

In addition, this bastard suddenly broke in, which made him startled, thinking that he was back in the guest hall and let the teacher catch him.

Now, this little liver is still so frightened that it pounces and jumps.

At the moment, Ning Caichen didn't talk nonsense, his face was serious, and he pointed to the door and said: "The key is important, which one let you in? Get out!"

Sure enough, it was the prince who had been by his side for a long time, and it seemed that it was the first time that someone dared not to give him face, his face was red, white, and blue, and the color kept changing, as if he had opened a dye shop. I don't know if I'm angry or ashamed.

"Bold! you!" he pointed at Ning Caichen, his trembling fingers representing the unrest in his heart.
