Chapter 417 Seeing Zhao Ji

The emperor's interview, of course, must be taken seriously.So after some daily morning exercise, I took a comfortable bath in the big wooden barrel. Instead of wearing the previous clothes, I changed into a new dark green thick shirt, wrapped in a well-made brown and black bear leather jacket. , stepped on warm and comfortable moccasin boots, her hair was erected into a crown, and a jasper and green hairpin was worn through, and she was dressed very vigorously.

It was snowing early this morning, and the senior officials set up a small red clay stove in the room of the inn, with a small clay pot for boiling water on it, gurgling and steaming.Put a pinch of roasted tea leaves into a porcelain bowl, pour hot water into it to clean the dust on the tea, watch the tea leaves slowly unfold, pour out the water, and pour hot water again.

The tea we drink now is not brewed with clean water, but with many things added, a very cumbersome process, loved by literati and refined scholars, and there is even a game of fighting tea.Wang Yan drank this way of drinking when he first came here, and then he started to stir-fry tea.It also produced Gaiwan, which is not available now, and other tea-related things. This is one of the industries.

But habits cannot be changed overnight, and tastes are not the same.When his tea was launched on the market, it did not cause as much shock as imagined, but it was still slowly fermenting.Some people started to get in touch with it, and some people didn't agree with it. Gradually, the literati of the Song Dynasty formed two schools on the way of drinking tea. It's very interesting to talk about it if you have nothing to do.

The official picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, felt the original flavor of the tea blooming and colliding in his mouth, and savored the fragrance.The world in the snow outside the window, passing through the thousand-year-old original ancient buildings, the sky and the earth are the same color, it is a beautiful scene, the officials and people watched silently, lost their minds for a while...

At around ten o'clock in the morning, two eunuchs appeared outside the inn with their sedan chairs. Wang Yan went downstairs and saw the two eunuchs at the door, and bowed his hands: "Wang Yan has seen the two noblemen."

"Lieutenant Wang, please get up quickly, don't let yourself down, you can't accept the captain's gift, let alone be the captain's nobleman, we are all blessed by the captain." The leading eunuch hurried forward and dragged Holding Wang Yan's arm, he said with a smile: "At the head of the palace, Hu Xiang, the officials sent me to pick up the captain to enter the palace. There will be some time on the way, and the captain will get on the sedan chair."

Looking at the two bearers in front and behind, Wang Yan shook his head and said: "There is no need to sit in a sedan chair. Wang Yan was born in a remote village, not to mention the imperial palace. This is the first time I have come to Bianjing, so I walked with the two chiefs. Hu Diantou, please tell me a thing or two, so that I can increase my knowledge. These two sedan chair bearers, please help me carry the gift I want to present to the officials."

Hu Xiang nodded and did not refuse. Although the sedan chair was approved by the emperor, if you don't do it, you don't do it, and there is nothing wrong with it.So after seeing that the things to be sent were not sharp weapons, not food, and not dangerous, Wang Yan put on a cowhide felt hat to avoid the snow, and followed the two eunuchs into the palace after resealing the box.

Along the way, Hu Xiang introduced the palaces and pavilions like a few treasures, talking about their uses and so on.While listening, Wang Yan looked around at the scenery.Although compared with other dynasties, the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty was very small and did not form a complex of buildings, but it was the residence of the emperor after all, and the Song Dynasty was not poor. It was much better than the Forbidden City he took over in the Ming Dynasty, but it was much smaller.

Because it is snowing, the whole experience is very good.It's a pity that you can't stand on a high place and overlook the entire palace, that should be a different feeling.He is a tourist attraction, and it looks very good.

Although the imperial city of the Song Dynasty was not big, it was relatively speaking. Although the few people walked on their own feet, even though they were working hard, it took more than half an hour to reach the Taiqing Tower.After Hu Xiang took the felt hat and patted the snow on the bearskin coat, he went upstairs with Yang Jian who had been here for a long time, and saw him standing in front of the large desk doing art because of the snow. generation of artists.

Wearing a purple robe, it seems that the Taoist style has been improved, and it is very beautiful.Her hair was disheveled and coiled around her head, secured by a white hosta.Thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, thin lips, and two upturned beards.He is about 1.7 meters tall, slightly fat, round and white, so his face looks very kind.With this appearance, when he was young, he must have been handsome and unrestrained.Even looking at it now, in modern terms, he is also a handsome uncle.

This is also normal, after all, there are no accidents in the royal family, and there is no difference in appearance.Even if the first generation is not good enough, but they are emperors, the next generation will also be emperors.Looking for a queen, looks are the most basic point, it is absolutely in line with the aesthetics of the times, the kind that anyone who sees will say good-looking.From generation to generation, the genes will be improved, and the more handsome you will be.

Tong Guan spoke in a moderate voice: "Officials, Captain Wang is here."

Zhao Ji, who was indulging in artistic creation, raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Wang Yan standing behind Yang Jian, who was not as thin as usual because of the bear skin, but was noticeably taller and stronger.

"Haha, Ziyan, you're finally here."

"Young minister Wang Yan, I pay my respects to the official." As he spoke, Wang Yan bowed and bowed in a dignified manner.He didn't kneel down now, and he didn't have much to see the emperor, and he was also the Zhiguo school lieutenant of the seventh rank.

"Get up." Zhao Ji waved his hands with a smile, walked out from behind the case, looked at Wang Yan carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you are really young and promising. For more than a year, you have helped my family. Very busy."

"The little ministers are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official family is the father of the Great Song Dynasty. It is right for the people to share the worries of the emperor. The ministers are not good at writing or martial arts. They are only a little successful in the way of merchants and things, and they can be officials. It is the glory of the Xiaochen family to share the worries of the family."

Although what he said was flattering, Daguan Wang didn't change his face, he was upright, and what he said was forceful, as if it was true, he was just explaining the facts.

"I know you are loyal." Zhao Ji looked at the serious Wang Yan with a smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, said a word of concern like an elder, and then asked: "This is the first time you come here. Bianjing, can you get used to it?"

"Thank you for your concern, just because you didn't sleep well." After finishing speaking, Zhao Ji, who did not wait for his eyes to ask questions, opened his mouth and licked: "I have little knowledge. When I was in Yanggu County, the people were already very rich. I arrived in Bian the day before yesterday. Only in Beijing can I know what the atmosphere of my Great Song Dynasty is like. I have also read history, and the prosperity and prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty has been inferior to that of previous dynasties. The only emperor through the ages is the steward."

"Okay, at such a young age, it's strange to be flattering. It is said that I am a holy king, and I also recognize it. But I am still not worthy of being an emperor through the ages. Wenzhiwugong is still far behind, Youyun Sixteen State..."

"The minister always tells the truth, and he has to correct the officials. If the minister is real, it's a dragon's fart. With the strength of my great Song Dynasty, it is just around the corner to regain the sixteen states of Youyun."

In this world, there is no one who is not good at fame and wealth. No one wants to regain Youyun Sixteen States more than Zhao Ji.Once successful, his achievements are unmatched except for Zhao Kuangyin, who founded the country. This is a huge temptation, and he can't help it.

"You..." Zhao Ji smiled happily, and pointed at Wang Yan: "Let's go, I've been staying in Taiqing Building for a long time, and it's snowing outside, let me go for a walk in the garden and talk."

"Officials wait a moment, I have something to offer on this trip."

"Oh? Is there something new to make money?" Seeing Wang Yan nodding, Zhao Ji still had such a gentle smile: "Take it up and have a look."

Wang Yan turned his head to look at Yang Jian beside him: "Please trouble Mr. Yang."

He made a notification from the beginning to the end. He had been watching Wang Yan's flattery, and was feeling his high skill at such a young age. Hearing Wang Yan's words, he turned his head and looked at the little eunuch standing on the stairs: "Go and get Captain Wang Bring up the box you brought."

The little eunuch took orders and went downstairs.Not long after, two eunuchs came up with the slender wooden box and landed lightly on the floor.

Wang Yan thanked the eunuch who carried it, knelt down and opened the box, and saw a piece of silk cloth covering a rectangular object, and some long wooden strips with open mouths, which could be spliced ​​at first glance.He took out all the things, and under the watchful eyes of Zhao Ji and Yang Jian, he started to assemble them skillfully and quickly.After a while, a supporting shelf took shape in the hands.Put it on the ground again, and then picked up the rectangle, and used the two sticks protruding from it to splice the bottom frame just now.

He stood up, shook the thing standing up, and after confirming that it was secure, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Ji: "Guan, please look." Take a closer look.

"Mirror?"

Zhao Ji, who was standing behind, asked a question, walked around Yang Jian, and stood in front of the mirror in amazement, looking at the clear appearance in it, he stood happily in front of the big mirror and turned around to look at himself, and let the little eunuch I put on clothes and look at myself in the mirror, just happy.

The clarity of the bronze mirror is actually pretty good now, and after polishing, it can be seen very clearly.It's just that compared with glass mirrors, copper mirrors are not enough to look good. Not only is the clarity better, but also the counterfeiting of copper is too high.After all, copper is the raw material of money, and how big the mirror is, that is how much money it has.If you really want to get such a big full-length mirror, the average person can't afford it.

And this glass mirror is actually not uncommon. Europe already had glass mirrors in the Middle Ages, but it was not in the Song Dynasty.Those who can afford bronze mirrors must be able to afford glass mirrors.And those who could not afford copper mirrors before could not afford glass mirrors either.Although the cost is very cheap, it is of course impossible to sell it cheaply, and it has to be lowered slowly.

"Okay, okay, this mirror is clearer than the bronze mirror, and it is more comfortable to look at." Zhao Ji praised unabashedly. It is for this reason that he is so kind and patient with Wang Yan. A lot of money coming.

And Wang Yan's status in his heart is quite high, no worse than Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others.He is not a fool, he is very clear about the situation in Yanggu County.The changes there were all brought about by Wang Yan's own efforts.It's not like Cai Jing and others, who made a mess below, and made more money.

He is of course happy to see another source of income appearing now.

Wang Yan never knew that Zhao Ji was not out of his mind, he was dizzy, but he still had political skills.Otherwise, he couldn't have been emperor for so many years.He must be aware of the hardships of the people's livelihood, but he just pretended not to see it.Of course, what he knows is the suffering on paper, and he cannot see the real suffering.And he is the king, and he has always been well-clothed and well-fed. It is unimaginable how miserable the common people are. He knows it is miserable, but he doesn't know how miserable it is.Of course, even if he knew how miserable it was, it would not be in his eyes. There was nothing anyone could do about it.

He took out another small piece of transparent glass: "Officials, this is the main money maker."

"Oh?" The stinky Zhao Ji turned his head when he heard the sound, took the thing in his hand, and then touched the mirror in front of him: "These two are one thing? What's the name of this thing?"

"The official's good eyesight is just one thing. This is glass. The mirror is just coated with a special material on one side of this piece of glass."

"In addition to being a mirror, can this object be used as something else?"

Wang Yan pointed to the window covered with paper: "Guys, if this thing replaces the window paper, the sunlight will come directly into the room, and you can clearly see the outside scenery without opening the window. Wouldn't it be interesting to drink tea, read, write and paint by the window?"

Zhao Ji, as an artist, certainly has no lack of imagination. Looking at the clean and transparent glass in his hand, his mind had already flashed how happy the scene should be. He looked at Wang Yan with a smile: "But there is already enough glass. , can you change the entire palace of mine?"

Wang Yan shook his head slightly embarrassed: "Forgive me, the official, because it has just been born and the time is short, and it is not easy to achieve such a clear and transparent light, so the glass brought by the minister can only be given to the official. Change to a palace first."

"It's nothing, I don't blame you, take your time." Zhao Ji smiled and said: "If it's a palace, let's change this Taiqing Building first, I spend more time here. Yang Jian, this matter is up to you manage."

"Old slave obeys the order."

"Let's go, go out and enjoy the snow." After finishing speaking, Zhao Ji leisurely went downstairs with his hands behind his back.

Wang Yan and Yang Jian, one on the left and one on the right, took a small step behind, followed Zhao Ji, and followed Zhao Ji in the imperial garden.A small path has been swept out in this garden, but the snow is not small, even though a bunch of little eunuchs are sweeping there now, another layer has fallen soon, and it still creaks when stepped on.

"Ruixue shines in a good year, this year is another good year."

Hearing the master's emotion, Yang Jian sent a timely little flattery: "The Song Dynasty has the protection of the sage, so the weather will naturally be smooth."

Zhao Ji has listened to too much flattery, and it is very hard, this is obviously useless, he smiled and glanced at the reckless boy who was looking around: "Ziyan, I heard that you passed the government at the age of 15." If it wasn't for the influence of parents dying of illness one after another, there would be hope if you pass the test, you are really talented, I don't know if you can still read sage books in these few years?"

That's the point... The senior officials shook their heads and said: "I dare not lie to the officials. I really want to read the book again. It's just that I'm busy with business on weekdays, and I haven't gone deep into it. It has long been abandoned. The officials want to test the junior ministers?"

"Haha, I didn't have such an idea at first, but once you say it, you will have it. Just use what you have learned, gather today's full snow, and compose a poem. No matter whether it is good or bad, just do it. You think slowly, don't rush. "

You have to be a leader and do whatever you want.If you want to play with you, you can play with you, and you have to thank others.

After walking for a while, the high-ranking official pretended to be responding to Zhao Ji's question, while distracted thinking, guessing that the time was almost up, he cupped his hands: "Reporting to the official family, I thought of a doggerel."

"As I said before, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, just do it and talk about it."

"One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces, nine pieces, ten pieces, countless pieces..." Under Zhao Ji's eyes that didn't understand why, the official cleared his throat and said slowly, "Flying into plum blossoms Never see!"

Sure enough, time travel without poetry is not easy time travel.

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and repeated the last half sentence. Looking at the plum blossoms blooming not far away, he clapped his hands and applauded: "Not bad, not bad, although it is a doggerel, it has its own artistic conception, which fits the scene. Good, good, Based on this sentence, flying into the plum blossom will never disappear, so I will drink an extra glass of wine for lunch. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"It's the blessing of the minister if the officials don't blame me, I dare not ask for rewards from the officials."

Yang Jian said: "Lieutenant Wang is so ignorant, the official family is a sage who keeps his promises, so why are you acting coy."

Looking carefully at Zhao Ji, Wang Yan said, "Did the minister say that?"

"Go ahead."

"I also want to ask for a calligraphy and painting from the official family. The calligraphy and painting gifted by the official family last year, I can see the original original work of the crane body created by the official family. I love it very much and copy it every day. After a year, I want to come. The official family is more beneficial, and now I want to ask the official family to give me another picture, so that I can teach the younger ministers to think about it carefully."

Zhao Ji laughed, very useful: "In the evening, I will write a picture and send it to you."

"Thank you for the reward from the official family."

After wandering around for a while, Zhao Ji asked aimlessly about various aspects, and finally asked about martial arts, he said: "Ziyan, I just remembered that you not only study, but also love martial arts. I have worked hard and practiced hard until now. I even heard last year that I defeated someone who is known as the world's number one master..."

Seeing that the elder brother had forgotten his name, Yang Jian answered the words in a timely manner: "The official is Lu Junyi, who was used by the Northern Army."

"Yes, it is Lu Junyi. With such a big name, he is definitely not incompetent. If you can defeat him, you must have strong martial arts. We will have lunch soon, so Ziyan might as well compete with others, exercise your muscles and bones, and exercise your muscles when you are young." I have an appetite to eat more."

Wang Yan smiled wryly, "The officials are trying to test the ministers today."

Yang Jian continued to do his best to praise him: "It's the officials who want to use you. Others who want the officials have no chance to take the exam. You don't know how lucky you are."

"Thank you for the care of the official family. If this is the case, then the little minister will show his shame. I don't know which master the official family wants the young minister to compete with?"

Zhao Ji waved his hands without looking back, and a tall saber-wearing soldier stepped forward from behind, first bowed to Zhao Ji to ask for instructions, and after seeing him nodding, he turned around and bowed his hands to Wang Yan: "Bring the imperial equipment, Zhou Hong, I have seen Captain Wang."
