The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 4: Pin painting reveals the injustice
Xiande was eighteen years old. In March, I was 22 years old. When I was just the top pick, many people came to my door to speak for matchmaking. They were all rejected by me. The reason was that I was still young and wanted more. Studying was good for the court, but later on, this kind of thing disappeared. It is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that my young champion is completely immersed in the sea of books, and even a little obsessed with it. Such a person does not meet the requirements of those families, so I got a rare one. Clean.
On this day, I came to the Hanlin Academy to prepare for work as usual, but saw a large number of people around the main hall. I couldn’t help being surprised. You know, although I am also called Hanlin Bachelor, there are still As for the difference between superior and inferior, because I was the champion, I passed the lowest custody and review, and directly became the editor of the seven grades. On top of this, there are editors, lectures, lectures, and lectures. There are multiple levels of Bachelor of Solicitor and Bachelor of Headquarters, but I saw that in that group of people, there was Xie Xian, Bachelor of Headquarters, and a Second-Class Scholar of the same discipline as me, and a Shuji Shi, which surprised me. Now, you should know that many of those who are lecturers or above are people who often accompany the country’s lord. I walked over, but saw that Xueshi Yin and Xueshi Tian were arguing endlessly, and on the table between them, there was a scroll of ancient paintings with a red note next to it, which read “Qingshan Jushi Lin The seven words “Jiang Tu”, it turns out that they were discussing the authenticity of this painting. Only then did I understand that since the lord of the country issued an edict to prepare for the establishment of the Chongwen Temple, many people have sent their collections of books, calligraphy and painting, hoping to be included, but the real masterpieces are still not easy to find.
Master Yin said with grace: “This painting must be a pseudo-painting. The early works of Qingshan Jushi are all green landscapes with gorgeous style. In the later stage, because of the Buddhist practice, most of the works are ink and landscape, and the painting style has become Quiet and beautiful. Although this painting is ink and landscape, you can see that the brushstrokes are erratic, the clouds and mist in the painting seem to be blowing, and the river is rushing, which seems to be heard, so I say this is not the work of Aoyama.”
Bachelor Tian did not show a weak point: “Although you are reasonable, but you see, the paper of this painting is selected curtain paper, although it is well preserved, it can still be seen that it should be two hundred years ago. For the paintings of the Qingshan Jushi period, you can see that this painting has the five-party seal of the Qingshan Jushi, there is absolutely no problem from the postscript.”
The other people supported the two sides and quarreled endlessly. I became interested. After looking at it carefully for a long time, searching for a long time in my memory, I finally made a decision. At this time they also saw me coming, because I have shown familiarity with calligraphy and painting these days, and I am a newcomer, so the two bachelors came to me at the same time. The master of the school coughed: “Suiyun , What do you think.”
I walked to the front of this painting, took a closer look, and said, “From the perspective of the style, the first part of this painting is’Ke Ziyuan Brother Yawan’, and the next one is’The Second Yuanyou Respected by Jiashen on the 9th day of the seventh month of the year. Below is the famous seal “Lanshi Ningquan”. The four corners of the painting have the seals of Qingshan lay persons. The white square seal of “Tang Zhang”, the white square seal of “Kui Zhang Ge Shi Jiang Lan” in the upper right corner, and the Zhu Wen square seal of “Jushi Qing Shan” in the lower right corner. These four kinds of seals have basically appeared in the paintings of Jushi Qing Shan. In the identification of seals, Mr. Tian is one of the leaders, and he must not be mistaken. Judging from textual research, Jushi Qingshan was originally a celebrity in Dajin, who was ranked as the fourth-ranked Kuizhang pavilion lecturer. Later, he was sad to go to the south of the Western Jin Dynasty. State affairs, she lived in Linyuantang in Shuzhong. It is said that the poor lay people were unable to support themselves. Fortunately, the rich businessman Ke Ming in Sichuan spent the years of war and chaos. You can see that there are two seals on the lower right corner of the painting. The painting was presented to Ke Ming by Lay Qingshan.”
I took a breath, and then said, “These seals have a history, and I have read the Chronicles of Shuzhong by Jushi Qingshan. It is recorded in the ninth volume that “to the autumn equinox, Ziyuan hosted a banquet. , The guest and the host are happy, parting, Ke’s hand begging for clumsiness, I feel sincere, for making Linjiang pictures’, later I consulted Ke’s records, although Ke’s records have been obliterated, but I remember that Tao Kai wrote in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty “Shu Zhi·Shi Chong Pian” mentioned that “Shi Chong Xiaowei, served for the Ke clan, and the Ke clan treats him ill, and Shi Chong is rich and rich in the world, linking with the inner circle, conspiring to rebel against the Ke clan, and the nine clans punish them.” In the lower left corner of this painting, there is also the seal of Shi Chong’s “Jinguyuan Secret Collection”. After Shi Chong died of his clan, his collection was basically confiscated. Look, there is the “Changling King Seal” in the middle left. Changling King, the royal family of the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, was favored by the Jin Yuan Emperor, and it was the Yuan Emperor who copied Shi Chong, so this painting is very likely to be in the hands of Changling King. It can be seen that the inheritance of this painting is very clear, so I think it is genuine.”
Most people nodded their heads, only Xueshi Yin said unconvincedly: “Even if you are right, how can you explain the style of painting?”
I smiled and said: “This is my personal opinion. If there is any error, please correct me. The painting style of Jushi Qingshan before Nandu was bright and intense, so I like to paint green landscape, but before Nandu In the past year or two, his style of painting has gradually become calm. Basically, it is a small green landscape, with ink and wash in light colors as the base and green and green overlays. Sometimes ink and landscape have appeared. In the middle of Sichuan for a few years, Almost no works were handed down to the world. It was not until after the Eastern Jin Dynasty was settled that he began to monograph the ink landscape. However, in the early stage, he still liked to use thick ink and the brushwork was tall and straight. From these perspectives, I think the Shuzhong period must be the period when the layman changed his painting style. It is also in line with the situation of the spread of rare works. After all, immature works may often be burned by their masters. I have seen the record of Qingshan resident burning paintings in the seventh volume of “Shuzhong Chronicle”.”
Hearing this, everyone has recognized my judgment, and their eyes have become respectful and eager. After all, there are not many people like me who are knowledgeable and memorable.
After this incident, I had more work. The most important thing was to sort out the imperial books in the Ouchi library. It turned out that when I was preparing to build the Chongwen Hall, someone suggested that I was founded in Southern Chu for 60 years. The two dynasties of the founding emperor Zhao She and the current state lord Zhao Sheng are not perfect in the historical records. I hope to take this opportunity to organize the Zhu Pian and Yu Zha of Emperor Wu into a book for the imperial children and nobles to learn. Although I feel very It’s boring, but the Hanlin Academy is very recognized. After the Lord of the Kingdom is invited, the Lord Long Yan is happy, but sorting out those yuzhazhu batches is a very troublesome task. Although I am a newcomer, because of my extraordinary ability, I hold a bachelor’s degree. Xie Xian decided to be in charge of Xia Bi, the most senior bachelor of attendance, and I assisted Xia Bi. Xia Bi is actually over sixty years old and will soon be retired, so I am the actual person in charge. After running with me for a few days, he automatically asked for leave and went home to rest. The most troublesome part of this work is that I have to work in the library at the back of the Royal Library, where all the documents are stored, and I can’t look it up by myself. I must be accompanied by a manager who manages the library. I started my work at a distance of one hundred meters, which is probably the interpretation of being close at hand and far away.
The **** in charge is surnamed Wang, and his hair and beard are all white. Sitting six or seven hours a day is almost killing him, so I persuaded him cleverly and wisely on the first day: “Dear Prince, why do we want it together? Don’t be polite if you’re staying for ten and a half days, just find a clever little father-in-law to help you, and you can come and see it every three to five.” The prince is also getting older, and he’s also an errand, although the library library It’s very close to the Imperial Study, but the father-in-laws of the Superintendent of Rites are all young and powerful patrons, so the princes can’t be on the side of the lord at all. Since he has no ability to fight for favors, he is old, who would embarrass him for nothing So, he and Ben don’t have to worry too much about someone accusing him of not being responsible. So he sent a new disciple, Xiao Shunzi, who had received less than a year to help me, because this Xiao Shunzi was smart and capable, and he had read books for several years, and there were hundreds of words in his chest. It’s hard to come by, after all, not everyone is like the eunuchs who are the eunuchs to receive special education.
But I was taken aback when I saw Xiao Shunzi, because if I remember correctly, that kid was the kid I met when I first arrived at Jianye, who sold his body and buried his father. Why is he now a eunuch, but probably Is there anything sad? I’m not good to ask him. He didn’t recognize me anyway, so I just treated him as a stranger. But this kid is really good. Not only does he manage the four treasures of the study very well, but I just have to say He can find the memorial or yuzan as quickly as possible, so we cooperate happily. According to the current rate of work, it seems that there will be twelve or three days. .
At noon on the third day, I was drinking a cup of tea after dinner, ready to take a break to continue. Suddenly, the prince broke in angrily under the service of two eunuchs, shouting: “Xiao Shun Zi, Xiao Shunzi, where is your little slave?” I looked at him suspiciously, what is going on.
The prince saw me, put on a smile and said: “Jiang Yuan, are you there too?”
Nonsense, where I am not here, I am not allowed to go home for a nap here. I thought to myself and said: “Father-in-law, what’s the matter, what caused you to make such a big fire.”
The prince said angrily: “Xiao Shunzi, this little **** has dirty hands and feet. He stole my beloved snuff bottle. It was rewarded by the first emperor to the old slave.”
Xiao Shunzi opened his eyes wide, and knelt on the ground with a normal cry: “There is absolutely nothing, a slave is not so courageous, and dare to steal the things bestowed by the gods.” He has been purifying for more than a year, ten At the age of four or five years old, he was developing again, so his voice was high-pitched. At this time, he was in a panic, and it was a bit harsher.
The little **** next to pointed his throat and said: “You still dare to speak up, don’t you think we don’t know, you are a criminal who committed the crime of robbery. If the king’s things are lost, I think you must have done it. , Father-in-law went to your room to search, and he found it.”
Xiao Shunzi’s face turned blue, he kept kowtow and said: “It’s not a slave, it’s not a slave. Someone must have planted it.”
The prince said angrily: “Are you saying that I planted your spoils, or the little blessed son planted your spoils.”
Xiao Shunzi broke out in a cold sweat, suddenly turned around and rushed to my side, begging: “Master Jiang, you are an educated person, please tell your father-in-law. Minions are serving by the adults these days. Where can I have time? Go steal things.”
I was watching this scene with enthusiasm. Although the little Fuzi is a good actor, but I heard his breathing is a little fast and his heartbeat speeds up. I have already seen that he is planting a crop, it’s just Xiao Shunzi. The background is not good and the background is not innocent, so there is no way to distinguish it. I didn’t intend to intervene in the affairs of the harem, so I just glanced at him faintly without making a sound. Xiao Shunzi was in a hurry. When the prince saw me silently, he sternly said: “You tied him up to me and sent him to the courtroom, and beat him to death. I let him dare to steal things. This is a serious crime in the palace.”
My heart trembled, no way, I will kill him. Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that he hugged my legs and cried: “I beg your lord for the sake of Xiao Shunzi’s service and thoughtfulness, please beg the slave, the slave really didn’t steal anything.”
I suddenly remembered the tragic look when he sold his body to bury his father, and I couldn’t help but feel softened. It was not a big deal anyway, and he was indeed wronged. Turning my eyes, I thought about it, and I said calmly: “Dear Prince, I think this minion is crying so much, maybe it is really wrong?”
The prince hesitated and said for a while: “The things were found in his room.”
I smiled and said: “This kid has followed me these days, when did my father-in-law lose his things.”
The prince thought for a while and said: “It was still used last night, and it was gone at noon today.”
I deliberately frowned and said: “It’s really hard to tell, so let’s be an official. It’s a good and easy way to break people’s misfortune and good fortune. If people are wronged, I will take a lesson.”
The eunuchs of the princes and princes are most faithful because of the rough life, and his eyes lit up and said: “The adults can calculate, okay, the old slave will go to get the calculation.”
I shook my hand and said, “A small lesson is not necessary. So, since it’s a matter of resolving grievances, everyone who is wronged must be upright. I have a way to let Xiao Shunzi and this report. The little blessed sons each ate a piece of my special golden pill, and waited for me to pray to God. If there is no sin, then the person will be fine. If he is guilty, he will have abdominal pain.” After speaking, I took out a jade bottle from my arms and poured out two A golden golden pill was handed to two little eunuchs.
The prince smiled and said: “Okay, let the old slave see the skills of the champion. You two don’t eat it yet.”
Xiao Shunzi swallowed the golden pill without hesitation. Xiao Fuzi hesitated and brought the golden pill to his mouth. With a small gesture, the golden pill rolled into his sleeve. I am amazed by his ability. Then she pretended to pray to God. When there was less than a scent of incense, Xiao Shunzi’s face suddenly turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a cry, holding her belly with her hands in pain. And Xiao Fuzi was fine. He proudly said: “Sure enough, you stole it. The prayer of the champion is really effective.”
The prince looked at me hesitantly, and was about to give the order, I smiled slightly: “Although I have some talents, but I don’t have the ability to ask the gods to punish you, this kind of golden pill is specially made by me to clear the stomach. Yes, yesterday I heard the princes say that they are old and often eat. If this medicine is eaten with lotus seed soup for the elderly, it happens to be effective. If the young people who are full of vitality eat directly, they will have abdominal pain like cramping, Xiaofuzi, Where is your medicine?” Xiao Fuzi backed away in fright, saw the prince walk up to him with a stride, gently pinched his wrist and lifted his wrist, Xiao Fuzi immediately turned pale with pain, and the prince lightly relaxed Loosely found the golden core in Xiao Fuzi’s sleeve. Then let go, Xiao Fuzi fell to the ground, out of fright. The prince said indifferently: “Xiao Shunzi, if you don’t go to my room yet, there is a bowl of cold lotus seed soup on the table.”
Xiao Shunzi nodded, rushed out, and returned within a moment. His face was refreshing. The prince smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said: “Thank you, the champion, thinking about the old slave.” I snatched the medicine bottle in my hand. He said goodbye and went out. After a while, two middle-aged eunuchs came over and took Xiao Fuzi away. Xiao Shunzi knelt in front of me gratefully, thanking him for his gratitude: “My benefactor helped me twice, but Xiao Shunzi was a bull and a horse, and he couldn’t repay this great favor.” I opened my eyes and said after a long while: “Do you still remember me?” Xiao Shunzi said sternly: “In fact, the slave recognized the champion at a glance. The adults gave generously, and the small memories are still fresh.”
I asked curiously: “Then why didn’t you say you remember me earlier?”
Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a long time before he said: “Minion, the minion was a fake when he sold himself to bury his father.”
My eyes widened even more. Xiao Shunzi said: “The slave was originally from a scholarly family, but after the death of his father, my uncle secretly sold me to a theater troupe in order to seize the property. The slave has been wandering around since then, because the slave can’t stand the humiliation of the master, so I escaped with a few brothers~IndoMTL.com~ I didn’t make a living, so I went around begging to steal and deceive people. When I met an adult, the minion was partnering with an old beggar. He pretended to be a father. I was a filial son. The two companions are passionate and follow the adults secretly…”
Having said that, he was even more embarrassed. I immediately understood who was the one who stunned me. But I asked in confusion: “You have so much money, enough to live, what about you, what about you?” I couldn’t say it.
Xiao Shunzi laughed and said: “Perhaps it was retribution. Several of us were threatened to become bandits. Unexpectedly, we were caught by officers and soldiers. We robbed a clan and we were all used to being thieves. So we were sentenced to the death penalty. We were still young. The master who judged the case said that if we are willing to enter the palace as slaves, we can save our lives. My two brothers were hard-hearted and went to the court. The slaves were timid, so they entered the palace. “
I sighed: “You are not courageous. You have courage. Although life is hard, we have to work hard to survive. You can survive and treat the past as a joke. This is what Warriors, most people who throw life and death lightly are not warriors, but evade responsibility.”
Xiao Shunzi suddenly knelt down and hugged my legs again, and it hurt so much that I suspected that he wanted to avenge him, and then I felt that there was water dripping through my official robes.
After this, this kid served me more and more. Later I heard that the prince was a martial arts master, and Xiao Shunzi was learning martial arts from him. On a whim, plus admiring the kid’s perseverance, I smuggled. A copy of the “Sunflower Treasure” came in. Xiao Shunzi looked at it silently, but solemnly accepted it.
Half a month later, I left the palace, with the tidyed-up yuza, and one of the biggest gains. I have one more friend who often visits me in the middle of the night.
