Chapter 113: The New Commander of the Divine Guard
The bright lights of the palace flickered sporadically and flickered with the stars in the night sky, and the stars and lights were shining brightly, reflecting each other, making the palace pavilions all shrouded in a layer of mist.
There are a lot of picked flowers in the corners of the hall, and the refreshing night breeze blows, and the faint fragrance of smoke and mist will drift away, like a pair of infinitely gentle beauty hands, gently tugging at everyone's heartstrings.
At this time, the candles in the palace were brilliant, and the palace ladies with wine and food shuttled back and forth, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Today is the day when the picture of Baimei was completed, and Zhao Ji specially feasted here to celebrate this event, and almost all the important officials of the DPRK and China were invited.
Seeing that the opening time was approaching, all the concubines and ministers had already taken their seats in order, and although Li Nan's official position was not high, he was the author of this picture, so he was specially given to sit at the third table on his right.
Zhao Ji smiled proudly, holding a jade cup in his right hand, and pointing to the beautiful picture on the wall with his left hand, and said excitedly: "Zhong Aiqing, my wish is completed today, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy." Come, drink this cup with me, for my great Song Dynasty for thousands of generations, boundless and eternal! ”
Although many upright people in the palace had complaints about Zhao Ji's actions, they were also shocked when they saw the amazing paintings on the pink walls around them.
Yanfu Hall is majestic and magnificent, as high as five zhang, covers an area of more than two acres, faces nine rooms, enters five rooms deep, the top of the palace of heavy eaves, is the dormitory where Zhao Ji habitually lives.
But no one paid attention to the carved beams and pillars, and all eyes were focused on the four walls, because there were hundreds of life-size beauties there.
In these hundred beautiful pictures, except for seven or eight who were imagined by Li Nan out of thin air, the remaining beautiful beauty prototypes are all from the concubines in Zhao Ji's palace.
For nearly three months, Li Nan came to Zhao Ji's dormitory on time every day to paint.
After Liu Jieyu left her portrait in the Baimei picture, Zhao Ji would invite her to sleep every day when she admired the paintings, this smart concubine, so she was also promoted from Jieyu to a concubine.
The woman who entered the harem could only count on the grace of the emperor Yulu, looking forward to giving birth to a dragon son to change her fate, since Liu Jieyu's success, this secret has spread all over the harem.
Many concubines who were only pampered by Zhao Ji once began to follow Liu Jieyu's example and bribed the eunuch Yang Jian with a lot of money, just to be able to leave their posture and appearance in the Baimei map, so these days, Yang Jian's hands cramped to collect money, and Li Nan is also 'working hard every day'!
Li Nan's practice of the "Weide Sutra" is a high-class double cultivation method, and the only way to improve the breakthrough is to interact intimately with women.
In the past, Li Nan was limited by the moral bottom line, so the entry of this exercise was slow, but in the past three months, there were these superb beauties selected from all over the country in the harem, and they took the initiative to give them their arms.
In addition to the queen, eighty or ninety concubines who lacked nourishment, such as noble concubines, virtuous concubines, virtuous concubines, concubines, concubines of Chen, Zhaoyi, and so on, all came to the dormitory, and were used as models by Li Nan to explore the depths.
Due to the abundance of Ding Furnace, Li Nan has successfully made continuous breakthroughs, and now he has cultivated to the fourth layer of the "Weide True Scripture", and has the power of the inhuman four bulls.
Although he sold Zhao Ji for three months, Li Nan, who also gave him a lot of hats, sat at the table at this time, drinking and eating, and enjoying singing and dancing.
After the dance, the sound of silk and bamboo was extinguished, and the hall fell silent.
Zhao Ji said to the ministers with great interest: "Everyone, I am very happy to look at this peerless painting here today. Now that Li Nan has made this great achievement, I want to reward him with an official position, do you have any good suggestions? ”
When Cai Jing heard this, he was even happier than Li Nan himself, and hurriedly got up and said: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and the official family will be shengming!" Li Nan's literary style is charming, poetry, calligraphy and painting are unique, and the minister thinks that he can serve as a waiter. ”
Zhao Ji muttered: "Well, Li Nan is originally a waiter doctor in the fifth grade, and the edict of the Hanlin Painting Academy, it is just right to be promoted to a third-grade waiter, what do you think?" ”
Among the ministers of the court, there are many people who hate and fear Cai Jing's party, and when they saw this situation, an old minister immediately stood up and objected: "Li Nan is indeed brilliant in literature, but he has no qualifications and experience, and he rashly appoints him as a squire, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate!" ”
Li Nan's old acquaintance, the doctor Li Ge also played: "What Lord Wang said is very true, if the official family thinks that Li Nan should be rewarded, then give him more gold and silver." ”
After Li Ge finished speaking, other people also spoke, and the courtiers of several parties were either in favor or against, and for a while, the hall was full of arrows and crossbows, and the original lively atmosphere disappeared, and Zhao Ji's mood became extremely bad.
Why did emperors in history like traitors? Because everyone likes subordinates who follow their own will, and don't like guys who go against their will.
Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Gao Yu and others were able to get Zhao Ji's favor and be promoted to become rich because they would conform to their will and flatter them wholeheartedly.
Zhao Ji saw that these courtiers objected to his intentions, and immediately said coldly with an unkind face: "Li Nan is talented and meritorious, can't I reward him with a third-grade official?" ”
The bigwigs of several parties in the DPRK and China were angry when they saw Zhao Ji, for fear that they would make things extremely rebellious, so they hurriedly gave their henchmen a look, Cai Jing was familiar with Zhao Ji's character, and immediately sat down and smiled secretly, signaling his henchmen to wait for the opportunity to make trouble.
Zhao Tingzhi also knows Zhao Ji well, and seeing that Li Nan getting an official position is inevitable, he got up after thinking for a while and said: "Qiqi official, the minister thinks Li Nan should be rewarded!" ”
Hearing the words of Zhao Tingzhi, the prime minister of the current dynasty, Cai Jing and the others were a little surprised, but Zhao Ji's face eased a lot.
Zhao Tingzhi continued: "Now there are no vacancies in all the departments, but it just so happens that the right wing of the Divine Guard Army is in command and makes the post vacant, so it is better to give Li Nan the champion general to dominate the right wing of the Divine Guard." ”
In the main hall, perhaps only Li Nan was not familiar with the official system of the Song Dynasty, and many other courtiers knew much about it.
As we all know, in the Song Dynasty, there was a huge difference in treatment and status between the civil and military routes.
If nothing else, let's just say that Di Qing, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, first conquered the northwest, and then pacified the rebellion in the south and made great achievements, because of his military exploits, he was promoted to the deputy envoy of the privy council.
Di Qing can be said to have reached the pinnacle of military generals, but he was dismissed by Wen Yanbo and others, the innocent Di Qing went to Wen Yanbo to reason and ask for reasons, Wen Yanbo only said "Without him, the court is suspicious." ”
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, that is, "Nothing else, that is, we doubt you, how about it?" ”
Although Di Qing was half angry to death, he had no choice but to obediently accept his fate.
This is still the Northern Song Dynasty, and the status of military generals in the Southern Song Dynasty was even lower, and the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty dared to complain about the military generals of the third grade, which shows how low the status of the military attache is.
This Zhao Tingzhi is worthy of being the head of a party, although he ostensibly proposed to reward Li Nan with the official position of a third-rank official at the same level as Shilang, and also gave an additional military officer champion general, but if Li Nan is classified as a military general from now on, then his identity and status in the court, as well as his future in the future, will be completely ruined, and there will be no future.
Seeing that Zhao Ji seemed to be seriously considering, Cai Jing didn't want his camp to lose an excellent help, so he hurriedly planned to make the party oppose it, but he didn't want Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, to open his mouth and say: "What Zhao Xianggong said is very true, I implore my father to reward this position!" ”
Zhao Kai has been smart and clever since he was a child, and Zhao Ji also likes this son very much, and when he heard his suggestion at this time, he should even make Li Nan the champion general and promoted to the commander of the right wing of the Divine Guard.
