Forty-eighty one rest at the beginning of the calamity (4)

Zhu Cilong felt a little drowsy when he woke up early and had a heavy body. He called the imperial doctor to check the pulse. It was a symptom of dampness and heat accumulation. It was nothing important except to relieve dampness and relieve heat. Thinking about the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. The ancients called it the poisonous day, which was mostly the effect of the solar term, so it was not called to the emperor and queen.

It was not until the morning court that Zhu Cixuan became more energetic and walked to Wenhua Hall by himself. The people in the house had already prepared a large basket of famous brands, all of whom were requesting to be summoned.

These servants were originally servants in the attendant's room of the Eastern Palace and were assigned to various subjects to serve as servants.

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat did not have a second official in the Ming Dynasty, and there was only one senior and elderly old She was in charge of seal letters and was called "Secret Lord".

Nowadays, Yin Jun is naturally Lu Suyao. She had already figured out Zhu Cixuan's work habits and arranged personnel to come in reasonably. When she saw that the crown prince was a little depressed in the morning, she thought that the day was a little stuffy, so she hurriedly asked: Is Ni Yuanlu coming?

Ni Yuanlu handed over the brand the day before and arranged to meet at 10 o'clock this morning. According to the habit of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, officials will only wait for three or five minutes at most after they arrive. If Zhu Cilang has something to do temporarily, he will definitely make people reschedule the subsequent arrangements, and will not throw them out of their minds and make the ministers wait stupidly.

Fortunately, Ni Yuanlu came to the cabinet to find Wu Yan, and a servant told Lu Suyao, so she put him in the front and arranged an interview.

Zhu Cilang didn't know that Lu Suyao was intentionally changing the order, but he just felt that it was just right.

Ni Yuanlu didn't say much about her meeting in advance, but just sang a ceremony to meet and said, "Your Highness, I have brought calligraphy and painting."

Before, Chongzhen thought that Zhu Cilang saw that Ni Yuanlu wanted to use him as the Minister of Revenue, but in fact, Zhu Cilang just asked Ni Yuanlu for two works. Ni Yuanlu did not take her previous works to deal with her errands, and waited quietly for two days. After getting inspiration, she wrote a copy of "The Song of the Restoration of the God of the Capital". Whether it was the writing of this song or the writing style, it was all its best works.

Zhu Cixuan was a completely amateur in calligraphy in his previous life. He only knew that his calligraphy was beautiful and ugly. The first official Meng master in his life was Jiang Fengyuan, a great calligrapher, and later Li Mingrui, Wu Weiye and others, all famous calligraphers. When Ni Yuanlu came to be a teacher, Zhu Cixuan had already entered the school of calligraphy. Not to mention how good he wrote, at least he had the ability to appreciate it.

In the era when later generations said that "all Ming people cannot write" was called "there are all masterpieces of famous masters." Zhu Cixuan naturally also saw many original works of famous masters, but he still liked Ni Yuanlu's words the most among the calligraphy of this dynasty. After Li Chuang, the Qing Dynasty was ruined twice, and there was no calligraphy and painting in the Wenhua Palace. The wall was bare and ugly, so he wanted to invite Ni Yuanlu to write and paint and decorate it.

"Mr. Hongbao's words are never tired of reading, and they are well-versed in the Two Kings, and can write eternal new ideas." After reading the twenty-two-line long songs, Zhu Cilang was not very amazed at the content. He only felt that this word was really a treasure of China.

——After using Zhang Dai, there is no longer a "Two Dreams" in the world, but it is worth it to exchange for the word Ni Yuanlu!

Zhu Cixuan read it again, ordered the eunuch to hang it up immediately, raised his head and read it again, and smiled and said, "Fortunately, the sir had already framed it when he came, otherwise I would really not be willing to use it for mounting it for others. This book must become a national treasure in China, and it can only be donated to the museum for collection after I die."

Ni Yuanlu was also very happy to see that Zhu Cilang liked his calligraphy. Others said that his calligraphy was good, but the authenticity was mixed. It was either because of his high official position or because of his literary reputation. However, this crown prince never paid attention to the style of spring and autumn. Talented people treated him like relatives and friends, and abandoned him like worn-out shoes. He said that he liked him and said that his calligraphy was good, he must be really a match.

What's more, the crown prince's calligraphy is now considered a first-class calligrapher, and he can vaguely see the charm of Ni's calligraphy. This is even more pride of being a teacher.

Zhu Cilang opened a pair of landscape scripture hand scrolls sent by Ni Yuanlu, and the sky was inlaid with dark silk, which was full of ancient charm at a glance. After passing the pair, the head was led by the water, and Yan Kaidan said: It is the house of the bright breeze and the moon was bright.

After passing through the water, the heart of the painting is the painting, a painting of the distant mountains and pine trees. The wind sways the branches; a painting of the landscape crossing the road, and a hermit picks up the steps; a painting of the bird's eye view of the landscape, but it is a familiar and imitated masterpiece of the landscape of the predecessors.

"Is this imitation of Gao Kegong's "Yunheng Xiuling Picture"?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Gao Kegong was the four Yuan dynasties known as Zhao Mengfu, Shang Qi and Li Jian, and was particularly good at landscapes.

"That's right." Ni Yuanlu disdains to imitate his predecessors in his words, and seeks new words in every stroke, but there are many imitations in the paintings, but they can also win surprisingly. They care about it, and there are many wins in rhyme.

Zhu Cilang continued to roll out the three pieces, but the tail behind them was made of old rice paper, which was left for viewers to write inscriptions.

"This hand scroll is just placed on the desk and play with it all the time. Sir is willing." Zhu Cilang said with a smile.

Ni Yuanlu also smiled and said, "I'd like to ask Your Highness to write an inscription."

"Isn't this just the saying of 'Dogtail Continue the Snake'?" Zhu Cixuan was still confident in his calligraphy, but it depends on where to put it. Ni Yuanlu, Wang Duo and Huang Daozhou were known as the three masters of the late Ming Dynasty. They opened up a generation of style. Wouldn't they go for the green leaves when they were with his calligraphy and painting? When they met critics from later generations, they might even say: If there was no tail-in-hand, this hand-curtain would be a national treasure!

"I dare not hide it from Your Highness. This painting is not presented to Your Highness." Seeing Zhu Cilang happy, Ni Yuanlu said generously: "I have another picture of "Bamboo and Stone" to be introduced. This painting is something that I beg your highness to write poems and leave to my descendants."

"What if I ordered the eunuch to take it away?" Zhu Cixuan held his hand and kept rolling it up.

"I will remind Your Highness in time." Ni Yuanlu said seriously and expectantly. He is Zhu Cilang's teacher. Others cannot ask for words, but he can. According to conventional wisdom, even if he doesn't ask for words, Zhu Cilang should take the initiative. Even if he is the lord of the heavenly family, he cannot be despised by his teacher.

"My words are already a thousand miles apart from those of Mr.'s. If you write poems from ancient people, you will not only reveal your shortcomings, but you will be shameless." Zhu Cilang also became interested, unfolded his hand scroll again, and hesitated: "If you write your own poems, you will be even more ugly."

Ni Yuanlu refused to leave, but just looked at Zhu Cixuan with a smile.

Zhu Cilang bit the bullet and ordered people to grind ink. After enjoying the three paintings for a moment, he felt the charm of it as if nothing had happened. He just licked the pen and wrote: "Meng Shi Zhengzhi gave him a glorious chapter in the mountains and rivers. He dared to accompany the horse's tail with a clumsy pen. He wrote a special poem:

‘The wind comes and pine words come, and water splashes and stone steps are broken.

The crane son flies away now, and the plum wife is still safe.’”

Zhu Cilang finished writing in one go, and read it himself first, and suddenly realized: Ni Yuanlu was not going to take it back for her descendants, but used this painting to express her intention of resigning from office and retiring!

"I was too turbid after all, and I didn't see the gentleman's elegant intentions and rashly tarnished this masterpiece." Zhu Cilang casually wrote the word "Cilang" as a deposit, and his voice had already become cold.

Ni Yuanlu didn't expect the crown prince to understand immediately. She was quite surprised by Zhu Cilang's understanding and said, "I am too old to drive me. I only wish to retire to the forest and spring, listen to the pine words, and look at the remnants of the ranks, and the plum wife and crane son will end this life."

Zhu Cilang is really a little regretful. Although Ni Yuanlu is not a minister who saves the times, nor is she as rich as Wu Qing, she is a kind-hearted and gentleman with noble ambitions. Although such a person cannot expect to do practical things in the court, he can be used as a clear stream and supervise the way of speaking, and is not useless.

"I have seen the 16 strategies of the void and real, and I am definitely not a person who retires and entertains himself. Did you hear any rumors?" Zhu Cixuan put down his pen and returned to work. The logic he could reason about is: Ni Yuanlu was originally the Minister of Revenue, but later she was defeated by Yao Tao. Now it is reported that he wants to resign, but there is no movement on his side, so he has the desire to retire.

"I did hear a little." Ni Yuanlu didn't avoid it: "I am really worried when I heard that Your Highness wanted to pay attention to financial resources and open up the source. With the Jiashen Incident ahead, I dare not stop them. However, I cannot bear to do anything about accumulating things. Therefore, I ask to leave."

Zhu Cilang suddenly became extremely tired.

Ni Yuanlu was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue and knew the difficulties of the country's finances. Since he said he could not stop him, he must have understood in his heart: if the crown prince was prevented from opening up the source, the country would inevitably be ruined again, and the Jiashen incident might happen again. However, he understood in his heart so well, but he still believed that expanding wealth and increasing national taxes was a matter of accumulating and abuse of the people, and he couldn't bear to do so. This shows how people in the world would view the new political reforms.

——Am I still too impatient?

Zhu Cilang was dry and his mouth was dry for a moment. He picked up the teapot and drank a sip of strong tea. His mind was soothing. Just as he was about to speak, the eunuch beside him yelled and retreated.

Ni Yuanlu took the hand scroll and took it back. Before leaving, she finally couldn't help but say again: "Your Highness, if you want peace in the world, you only need to rest and relieve the people's fatigue. Forcing a heavy tax at this time is like drinking poison to quench thirst!" After that, his eyes were blurred, and tears were already shining.

Zhu Cilang had no way to defend himself, but said, "If sir can stay in the capital for a few more months, it will be much easier to walk on the road."

Ni Yuanlu gave up and said, and she was afraid that tears would come out for another moment.

Zhu Cixuan looked at the calligraphy again, straightened his waist, and called Lu Suyao: "Add a person to join the meeting this afternoon, and Jiang Chen, the former official of the Ministry of Revenue, also asked him to come."

Lu Suyao, who claimed yes, asked: "Are you attending or attending?"

"Speak." Zhu Cixuan said: "In addition, let Min Ziruo come."

Lu Suyao retreated, and Min Ziruo soon entered the army and paid homage to Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cixuan took out a red sandalwood box from the desk and handed it to Min Ziruo and said, "This is a secret order for the cavalry battalion, so pass it on."

There are clear and secret orders in the army, and secret orders must be issued by the military command headquarters until the relevant war is over. During this process, only when the military judge finds that it is contrary to the current military law during the execution period, he or she can ask the chief officer to present a secret order and must be kept strictly confidential.

Zhu Cixuan's secret order had been left for a long time, so there was patina on the box. It was because of Ni Yuanlu's advice that he was prompted to take out the secret order and put it into execution.

It is better for a family to cry than cry all the way.

It is better to cry all the way than to cry in the world.

This is the reason why two evils are the least. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
