Chapter 388: Guest-played as a serious minister

The memorial was handed over to the palace, and the next morning, an order was sent - Xuan Chenao entered the palace.

Chen Ao was familiar with the road. He turned over and went to see the emperor with great confidence. Zhao Ji had just used breakfast and was still looking through the confession of the king's minister. When he saw Chen Aolai, he said to Yang Jian: "Give him a seat."

Chen Ao sat down, Zhao Ji put down his confession: "Has the case been decided?"

Chen Ao said: "The case has been decided, and I will wait for Your Majesty to sever the commission."

Zhao Ji seemed a little dissatisfied: "The anti-poetry matter has no evidence. Did Meng Lang a little? This matter is quite a bit serious. If I don't investigate it thoroughly, I will feel uneasy."

Chen Ao thought about it in his heart and said, "If you continue to investigate, I am afraid that many people in the court will be uneasy. Your Majesty, let it go."

"When the king's ministers call for the wind and rain, there are countless court officials who have made friends with them. In addition to their disciples and old officials, there are many officials who are willing to try to find out. I wonder how many people will be frightened. It is better not to expand the attack surface in this kind of thing. If you really make a mess, your Majesty will not be at peace."

Zhao Ji understood Chen Ao's meaning, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Diet people are like a lamp extinguished. Just behead the minister of the king. If he dies, the anti-poetry case will be gone. I can give the Queen Mother an explanation, and you have avenged your personal revenge."

Chen Ao was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, I..."

Zhao Ji interrupted him: "Don't defend yourself. I don't know how much you have?" He snorted coldly, Zhao Ji stood up with his hands behind his back, pushed open the window in the pavilion, looked at the spring scenery outside the pavilion, and said: "The minister of the king offended you, so you ran to the empress dowager to instigate you. Do you really think I don't know these things?"

Chen Ao no longer had a temper and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that nothing can escape the eyes of His Majesty."

Zhao Ji took a deep breath: "I am testing you, do you know?"

Chen Ao didn't say anything, and he said too much and made mistakes at this time, so it would be better to be careful. He suddenly realized that Zhao Ji was not simple and was very difficult to fool.

Zhao Ji looked at the snow on the glazed tiles in the distance and sighed, "If the memorial sent to the palace last night was pursuing Wang Zhichen's anti-poetry case, even if I was reluctant to leave, I could only let you enter the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting and Calligraphy and Painting, and talk to me about calligraphy and painting forever. Do you know why?"

Chen Ao said: "Your Majesty is worried that the empress is too murderous?"

Zhao Ji couldn't refuse and said with a smile: "You chose to kill the king's minister. This is very good. It seems that you are not the kind of person who will retaliate against the vengeance." He stretched, looked back at Chen Ao, and said with a smile: "What? Why don't you apologize?"

"What is the crime of the empress?"

"Isn't it a crime for you to instigate the Queen Mother to kill the minister?"

Chen Ao looked up at Zhao Ji and laughed: "The king's minister should be killed!"

This is Chen Ao's shameless reason. Because the king's minister should be killed, he thinks that he uses any means and even does not hesitate to spread rumors and would rather frame him than feel guilty.

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "You are so kind that you can't change in your whole life." Then he returned to his seat: "I have been implicated in the past few days for you and the minister of the king. The case was finally settled today, which is a perfect merit. I have recently obtained Mao Jie's landscape painting theory. Do you want to take a look?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Mao Jie's painting theory is of course necessary to read. There were many running script experts in the early Han Dynasty, but there were not many painters. Weichen really wanted to open his eyes."

Zhao Ji seemed quite proud and asked someone to take the painting theory. Chen Ao carefully held it up and looked at the beginning. He couldn't help but be amazed, and then said: "The Han people's most particular momentum in painting landscapes. By the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they began to focus on the spirit. Mao Jie was at the time of the alternation of Han and Jin Dynasties. The painting theory he wrote not only proposed that landscape paintings take power as the guide, but also proposed that they should pay attention to the spirit. This is quite interesting, and they should focus on momentum and spirit. I am afraid that no one in the world can do this. Although this painting theory has many insightful points, it is too much influenced by the alternation of Han and Jin Dynasties, and some statements need to be carefully considered."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, Chen Ao only looked at the beginning and summarized the major mistakes in the book. He finally came to the conclusion after reading this carefully and said enthusiastically: "Chen Qing thinks that the spirit or power of landscape painting should be important in landscape paintings?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is this very important?"

Zhao Ji looked at him with confusion.

Chen Ao continued, "It's like being a flower and a bird. When His Majesty sees a bird, he will catch a pen and draw it. But will His Majesty want to draw its agility, or the spirit contained in the bird?"

"..." Zhao Ji couldn't answer.

Chen Ao couldn't help laughing: "A real painter will not think about this problem at all. If I were painting, I looked at the mountain. In my eyes, what is the mountain? If the mountain is a tiger in my eyes, then the tiger should be drawn in my pen."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up: "This sentence is very good. I should have thought of it long ago. Li Taibai has a sentence called "Looking horizontally into a ridge and a peak on the side. This sentence combined with your words is really thought-provoking."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that there are waters and mountains in Bianjing. The famous mountains and rivers in the world belong to me, but I have no chance for a while. It's a pity." He seemed to be pondering: "The last time I had something to say to you, but it's a pity that the Empress Dowager summoned..."

When Chen Ao heard his words, he immediately understood: "Your Majesty wants to go out?"

Zhao Ji nodded and smiled bitterly: "I know this is as difficult as heaven. It is difficult for the Queen Mother to explain, and the officials of the court will not agree. You have the most ideas, so why don't you think of a solution for me."

Chen Ao's face tightened and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, this matter is too important. How much does it cost to travel? What if there is a danger in the middle? Your Majesty cannot learn from Emperor Yang of Sui and let 100,000 imperial guards and hundreds of thousands of civilians follow His Majesty to parade with him?"

Zhao Ji said: "I only have a hundred guards. I just want to see the famous rivers and mountains in the world. I have always regarded you as my confidant. Only you can have a way to do this."

"Confidant? Why don't the confidant marry my daughter?" Chen Ao secretly complained in his heart, but he just kept shaking his head. This matter is too much to do, and it's not fun.

Zhao Jihu raised his face and said, "If you refuse, I have to tell the world, well, how to write it? Just write it like this. Since I ascended the throne, I have been frightened and walking on thin ice, and I dare not relax at all. Now, a proud minister of the Honglu Temple said to me: Your Majesty, the king of thousands of charity should travel all over the mountains..."

Oh, it turns out that I can say the opposite. Chen Ao widened his eyes and suddenly realized that the emperor had been in contact with him for too long and had learned a little bit of rogue skills.

"Chasing the disciples, starving the master to death, the ancients did not deceive the handsome and handsome young man, and the handsome and talented man. How could this happen?" Chen Ao felt very moved, and quickly interrupted Zhao Ji and said with righteousness: "Your Majesty, I think about it. Your Majesty is the emperor, the dragon among people. How can this be trapped in the true dragon emperor? Your Majesty wants to investigate the sufferings of the world, and it is too late to be happy and cheered, so how dare you object? This matter is to you."

Chen Ao's attitude contrast was too big. Zhao Ji was stunned and thought to himself: "It turns out that a person can change his face so quickly." He smiled and said, "That's it. Let's talk about it, what's the solution."

Chen Ao said: "The most important thing is the empress dowager. Everyone has weaknesses, and even the empress dowager is not the same. The empress dowager most favors the King of Jin, cough cough... Your Majesty, you won't be surprised by this sentence, right?"

Zhao Ji's face was a little dim: "What you are talking about is the truth. King Jin is loved by his mother."

Chen Ao nodded: "In fact, this is not the biasedness of the empress dowager. Parents want to be fair. Your Majesty is the emperor and lives with heaven, but the King of Jin is just the prince. The Empress Dowager is worried that he should be worried. If you want to convince the Empress Dowager, your Majesty must carry the King of Jin out. For example, let the King of Jin enter the palace and say which mountain god he dreamed of. The mountain god said that he was wasted his life, and only the True Dragon Emperor went to a certain mountain to resolve this danger. The Empress Dowager is also a person who believes in Taoism. Although the King of Jin says this, although this is false, he would rather believe it. The Empress Dowager is worried about the bad luck of the King of Jin, so he naturally hopes that His Majesty will resolve the bad luck for the King of Jin."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, even if the Empress Dowager is half-believing and half-doubted, he will probably not object to the King of Jin. But my brother, hey, it's all the Empress Dowager and I have spoiled him. If I want him to do things, he will definitely ask for a lot of price."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager has weaknesses, but does King Jin have no weaknesses? The weakness of King Jin lies in the princess. Your Majesty only needs to reason with the princess, and the princess will blow the pillow style of the King Jin..."

Zhao Ji slapped his thighs and his eyes became brighter: "Yes, one thing is something that is better than another. Princess Jin is easy to talk to. After he touched her, Princess Jin can only listen to me obediently. I will tell you about this matter. Princess Jin admires you very much. He talked about it last time he entered the palace and Concubine Xian."

Chen Ao smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I am the Minister of the Honglu Temple, and I can't even be busy dealing with international friends..."

"You've done it, I have something to reward."

Chen Ao smiled: "Then the minister had to take the time to take his time to share the worries of His Majesty. But the minister dared to ask, what is His Majesty's reward?"

Zhao Ji said with a stern face: "This is all for the future. Now you can tell me how to deal with all the officials."

Chen Ao said seriously: "It's very simple. Your Majesty must understand the people's sentiments. This is the biggest reason. You don't know the sufferings of the people, let alone the ruler of the country. Think about it, the founding kings of all generations are often smart and capable. Why is this? It's because they come from the countryside and know the joys, angers, sorrows and happiness of the common people. Therefore, they can often prescribe the right medicine when governing and become a wise king. Your Majesty's parade is just to prevent being deceived by villains. Whoever opposes is villains."

Zhao Ji said: "I'm afraid that all officials will have nothing to do if the public spends too much money."

Chen Ao looked at Zhao Ji, smiled evilly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, if you don't have money in the treasury, you will still be on a tour. Not to mention that all officials want to scold you, even the weak ministers can't stand it. But I have a way."

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "You said."

Chen Ao suddenly stood up and saluted, and then said slowly: "I beg Your Majesty to sack Suzhou and Hangzhou fabrications, cancel the flower stone sect, and change the flower stone ship into a navy ship. In this way, not only will the national treasury be abundant, but the cost of Your Majesty's patrol will be released."

Zhao Ji thought with a calm face: "How much money can Huashigang spend? It's just some strange stones, don't exaggerate."

Chen Ao finally made a guest appearance as a loyal minister for a while, but he was reluctant to give up easily. He said seriously: "Does Your Majesty know how much money a small stone has cost?"

Zhao Ji shook his head blankly: "At most, it's not a thousand guan. What is this little money?"

Chen Ao sneered: "Thousands of guan? I only know that a stone on Wansui Mountain costs more than 5,000 guan. This is still light. The Suzhou Construction Bureau transported a 10,000 jin of large stone along the way. Because the hull drifted too deep and could not penetrate the bridge hole, all places demolished the stone bridges, and then built a new bridge after the stone ship passed. This big stone alone consumed more than 100,000 yuan. If the bridge was demolished, the cost of building the bridge would be at least 500,000 yuan. In addition, the people and other expenses were requisitioned, it would be a million yuan. It would be fine for those officials to respect the emperor, but they exploited them layer by layer and became even worse. When they saw any treasures among the people, they took them in the name of Hua Shigang. The world had already complained and people were panicked. If this continued, they were afraid that the people would be more turbulent.

Your Majesty, as long as the Huashi Gang is cancelled, I guarantee that no one will object to Your Majesty's tour."

After hearing Chen Ao's words, Zhao Ji did not react, but just smiled: "I will think about this again."

Didn't react? Could it be that the emperor had known that some people had exploited and deducted them from layer by layer, and that some people had to force them in his name? Chen Ao understood that for Zhao Ji, Hua Shigang was his own selfish desire. As long as he satisfied himself, the subordinates would be willing to collect strange stones for him and he had no time to think about the others.

This is the naked example of a fool!

Chen Ao sighed in his heart, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. Since you are indifferent, your buddy can only use your trump card.
