Chapter 192: Entering the Palace to meet

Zhao Jihe nodded and whispered: "Is this golden elixir really poisonous?"

He fell into silence, his face was slightly ashen, and the golden elixir was poisonous. The weight of these four words was really not light. With this alone, the entire Bianjing City was enough to cause a bloody storm, and more than a thousand people could be involved.

Behind this poisonous pill, is it intentional or unintentional?

He seemed to remember the past events. In the Duan Prince's Mansion, the dull eunuch grabbed the corner of his clothes and said with a slight smile: "Prince, your clothes are wrinkled, let me take a look."

"Prince, I have brought you a rare thing."

"Prince, why are you so careless? Someone must take care of yourself when riding a horse? If you make any mistake, even if you die, it will be difficult for abolish your sins."

In the eyes of others, these words with flattering smiles may be the word "stylist", but for Zhao Ji, the concern contained in those words is still unforgettable.

How could such a person deliberately create poison pills? How could he treat me like this?

"Father...Father..." An Ning called Zhao Ji, who was so enthralled by the side.

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

An Ning said, "Father, what's wrong with you? Why is your mind not like?"

Zhao Ji smiled calmly and said gently: "I am wondering whether my closest person will betray me. This person may have many flaws, but will he really have disagreements with me?"

An Ning said: "An Ning only knows that different people are different in the eyes of others. For example, An Ning. In front of the father, An Ning is your daughter. No matter what An Ning does, the father will forgive him. But for the eunuchs in the palace, An Ning is their master. They will only flatter and never dare to disobey anything An Ning does. But An Ning knows that An Ning is not perfect, and will also have joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. Since some people love and pamper and indulge An Ning, they will naturally hate and hate and envy An Ning."

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, you said it well." He gently stroked An Ning's back and said, "I understand."

Just then, the sound of broken steps came softly again. Princess An Ning's eyes lit up, and she listened with her ears. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Then someone said: "Your Majesty, Shen Ao, Liang Shicheng meet."

Zhao Ji pursed his lips, but did not answer, looking at An Ning and whispered: "An Ning, can we let them dry?"

Princess An Ning raised her eyes and saw a hint of indifference on Zhao Ji's face. At this moment, the father who was worried was gone, and replaced by the honest and unconventional father in front of her. An Ning smiled and nodded suddenly: "Okay."

There was no reply in the pavilion, and Yang Jian, who was waiting outside, had to shout again: "Your Majesty, Shen Ao, Liang Shicheng meet."

There was still a silence, and Yang Jian was secretly wondering in his heart, what was wrong? The official family was clearly in the pavilion.

Liang Shicheng behind him was quite nervous and pulled Yang Jian's sleeve and said, "Eunuch Yang, have you ever said anything when the official issued an order?"

Yang Jian looked back and whispered: "Eunuch Liang, don't inquire about the news from the miscellaneous family. The miscellaneous family knows nothing. When you meet, you will naturally understand."

Liang Shicheng was slightly angry and said, "It's not someone who makes trouble in front of the Miscellaneous Family, right? Humph, if it's true, Miscellaneous Family is not easy to mess with."

Yang Jian knew that he was saying this for himself, but he pretended not to hear it, and said to Chen Ao with a smile: "Young Master Chen, in a few days it will be the imperial examination of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. Your running script is good, and the miscellaneous family has signed up for you. If you really pass the running script Jinshi, don't forget to invite the miscellaneous family to have a drink at that time."

The Academy of Calligraphy and Painting? Chen Ao came to this era and learned some of his ideas. The full name of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting is Hanlin Calligraphy and Painting. It also conducts the imperial examination every three years. This kind of examination is similar to the examination of the special students in later generations. There are also the sayings of top scorers, second scorers, Tanhua, and Jinshi. After passing the examination, you can be awarded official positions, either to enter Hanlin or to be a bachelor of various halls, which are not the same.

The system of painting academy in the Song Dynasty was gradually improved and the scale was extremely large, which was unprecedented. In the early Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu first established a painting academy in order to attract talents, which attracted a large number of outstanding painters in the world. Huang Quan, son of Later Shu, Gao Wenjin, son of Gao Renhou, and the most outstanding painters at that time were admitted to the hospital for work. In addition, Zhou Wenju, Dong Yuan, Xu Chongsi and others in the Southern Tang Dynasty 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 Art Academy was not perfect, there was neither a strict system nor a certain place, the staffing, and even the rank of officials were not determined.

After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he reorganized the Academy of Painting and successively granted official positions. The Academy of Painting and Calligraphy was also changed to the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy and Calligraphy, with seven or eight sub-organizations under it, including the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and the Academy was followed by the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and the Academy was also stipulated that anyone who became a naturalized person in the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy would be punished only if he had committed a crime; those who were serious were also punished.

The meaning of this sentence is that even if the talented people who joined the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting made mistakes, the government is not allowed to arrest them at will. With this privilege, painting tests and calligraphy tests have become popular choices for a while.

In fact, in Taixue, academy of calligraphy and painting has been established, with Hanlin, a student of calligraphy and painting, and bachelors as doctors, teaching students to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. On the contrary, the Imperial College only teaches classics and articles. If this art exam is not as expected by ordinary people, at least twenty Jinshi will be admitted to the Taixue Academy of Calligraphy and Painting.

On the other hand, although the Imperial College has been issued, Imperial College cannot compete with the Imperial College after all, so I deliberately downplayed this matter and did not dare to compete with the Imperial College. Perhaps, Imperial College does not even have the qualifications to compete.

I heard that Yang Jian signed up for him, Chen Ao just smiled slightly. In fact, there were many famous artists in the Song Dynasty, including painters, calligraphy masters, treasure appraisers, and musicians. Chen Ao's level is naturally nothing to say. There is no problem in passing the Jinshi exam, but it is really difficult to compete for these three grades. For example, his calligraphy level is naturally higher than that of Zhao Ji. However, although Zhao Ji's calligraphy already has the style of a great man, he is the emperor, so his calligraphy is so famous in later generations. But in this era, how many unknown calligraphers have been obscured?

It is important to know that the most important thing about art is that someone should praise it! Only with your own level can you be famous for your eternal reputation. Otherwise, after a thousand years, your works will be lost and future generations cannot see your original works. If your attainments are high, what can you do?

Therefore, in later generations, calligraphers and painters praised by others are often either kings or generals, such as Su Shi, Zhao Ji, Li Houzhu, and Cai Jing. These people are famous in themselves. Even if they paint an ordinary duck, their handwriting alone will be of great value. If they have artistic achievements, they will naturally be highly praised by future generations. Many calligraphers and painters who are not good at doing well are eventually destroyed in history because their works have not been preserved.

Therefore, although Chen Ao is very confident in himself, he is never blind.

However, after signing up, Chen Ao also wanted to give it a try. No matter what powerful opponent he would encounter, he just thought it was better to compete with his skills and get a title of Jinshi in the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting to play with it. It was very interesting.

With this fame and fortune, this dead eunuch named Liang would not dare to frame him for no reason. It should be noted that even if the Jinshi in the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting was punished by someone, such as Dali Temple, Ministry of Justice, and Jingzhao Mansion, cannot be interrogated and detained. If there is no imperial edict, no one can touch a hair.

"Ha, if it weren't for the reminder of Eunuch Yang, I almost forgot this." Chen Ao thought to himself and said gratefully to Yang Jian: "Eunuch Yang's kindness, the students appreciate it, but..."

Seeing that he was full of wits and thought he didn't want to take the exam, Yang Jian hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, your running script is seen by his own eyes. It is not much worse than the running scripts of many calligraphy academies. It is inevitable to have high school. Is it difficult for Mr. Chen?"

Chen Ao laughed and said, "Of course, you have to take the exam, but the students are shameless and want to ask Eunuch Yang to sign up for the students. Not only do students have to take the exam for Astronomy, but there are always fish that take the bait. Chen Ao doesn't believe it, and one of them won't get the first place in four exams.

Yang Jian was speechless. This guy was really greedy. It was already a huge challenge for others to take one exam. He had to take four exams in a row, and the entire calligraphy and painting academy had only five or six exams.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Chen has such ambition. It is worthwhile for the family to go to the Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting." Yang Jian looked at Chen Ao with a smile and immediately agreed to Chen Ao's request.

Chen Ao was very happy. It is said that there were thousands of scholars applying for the Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. It was not easy to register. I just queued up. I don’t know when it was time for me to go to register. It just happened that Eunuch Yang would go to help me register. This guy has face and could go through the back door and interrupt and say hello. Those bachelors, the attendants should not add their names obediently?

Besides... Besides... and Chen Ao heard that the fee for registration is ten thousand. In fact, Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting and Painting does not collect money. The art exam of this Academy of Calligraphy and Painting is different from the ordinary imperial examinations. The ordinary imperial examinations must be obtained in their hometown before they can enter Beijing to take the exam. However, everyone can register for this Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. Therefore, in order to prevent someone from registering for no reason but just drawing talismans, this measure was taken.
