The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"Excuse me, how can you faint from crying? Master Wu may be seriously ill."

Yan Chengjin guessed that although Wu Kuan still had about a year left, if Wang Ji came, he might be able to save him.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that something was fishy.

"What are you doing in Wu Mansion!"

"Wu Huan is quite talented in painting, so I asked him for paintings."

Wu Huan's eldest brother Ren Zhongshushe was good at calligraphy. He obtained Wu Kuan's true biography and was highly appreciated by Emperor Hongzhi.

Zhongshu Sheren is a special official position.

In the early Ming Dynasty, he was an official of Zhongshu Province.

Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province and established a new cabinet, but the people of Zhongshu She remained.

He stayed in various institutions such as the imperial study room, the imperial edict room and the cabinet, and wrote edicts and orders.

Few opportunities for promotion.

"Order Dr. Liu to go and have a look. Wu Qing's family has been my and the prince's teachers successively, and they deserve this treatment."

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Xiao Jing on the side.

Mou Bin knew that the whole story of the Wu Mansion's cultural debt all started because of a painting outside the Yan Mansion.

Wait until after the end of the dynasty.

He then said: "Your Majesty, what Yan Chengjin wants to paint does not seem to be an ordinary painting.

This matter has to start with the paintings on the wall of Yan's mansion.

The painting was in the booklet, and Yan Chengjin seemed to attach great importance to it. "

Emperor Hongzhi immediately became interested and collected many famous paintings in Huagai Hall.

Including a harmonious picture drawn by the late emperor himself.

Very interested in painting.

"Did you draw it? Show it to me."

"not yet……"

Emperor Hongzhi felt a little relieved. He opened the book and read it for a while. The young eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu wants to see you."

Isn’t Master Wu sick? Emperor Hongzhi felt a little happy: "Xuan!"

Wu Kuan strode into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Kuan, has met you!"

"It's good that Wu Qing's family is fine."

"I am not sick, but Yan Chengjin is sick. My son just painted one painting on the wall of his house, and he has to pay back hundreds or thousands of paintings.

Does your majesty know Li Gong's son? Bewitched by him, he went to Hainan, where his life and death are still uncertain.

There is also Xie Gong’s son who is not doing his job in Liangxiang.

There is also Wang Hua's son, who is a civilian official but works as a military attache.

besides……"

When Wu Kuan said this, he was a little afraid to continue.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and asked, "What else?"

"And your Majesty's son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! In the past, the Crown Prince was so well-behaved and obedient that he only left the palace twice a month.

Now, I leave the palace every day! "

In order to bring down Yan Chengjin, he risked his life.

After thinking about it all night, he decided to go to the palace to see the saint.

The worst thing is, I don’t want this black gauze hat anymore.

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned slightly red.

Is it considered good to leave the palace twice a month?

Mou Bin felt His Majesty's gaze, and the Jin Yiwei supervised every move of the Yan Mansion, so he naturally knew about this.

…

Zhan Shifu,

Wang Hua saw that the prince was always writing something with his head down, using charcoal pen, so he put down the book and walked off the stage.

"Your Highness, do you remember everything I just said?"

"I will remember it."

Zhu Houzhao nodded solemnly.

But my hands were very good and honest in drawing on the booklet.

After painting all night, I finally finished the first three chapters of "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" written by him.

When Wang Hua saw him drawing little figures on the booklet, he didn't violently grab it and tear it up like Yang Tinghe did.

Instead, he advised: "Your Highness, you should not indulge in such unhealthy practices and evil ways."

"I know, Master Wang, let's take a lesson."

Zhu Houzhao had no intention of stopping and worked hard to conceive the scene in the painting.

In his mind, he seemed to see mountains and dangerous terrain, thousands of troops fighting, and generals charging ahead with their guns raised.

The majestic picture is heart-stirring.

But when Wang Hua stopped, the sense of the picture suddenly disappeared.

It seems that there is always something missing in my ears.

Painting requires inspiration, especially for painting Ma Zheng, Zhu Houzhao has his own pride.

"Master Wang, hurry up and start class, otherwise I won't be able to continue painting." Zhu Houzhao blinked with a sincere expression.

"you!!!"

No matter how good-tempered Wang Hua was, he was still a little angry.

He reluctantly put down the book and went to Fengtian Palace. Only Your Majesty can teach the prince a lesson.

Walking into Fengtian Hall, I saw Wu Kuan, an official, crying and complaining.

Wang Hua was a little surprised. He walked next to him and sighed a few times. He was suffering from the same disease.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, so please convict me!"

Emperor Hongzhi asked: "What is Wang Qing's family referring to?"

"His Royal Highness is making cartoons in Zhan Shifu. No matter how much I persuade him, I can make him come back." Wang Hua remembered that his son was also so stubborn when he went to the bamboo forest to protect bamboos.

Wu Kuan's eyes widened: "Yes! Your Majesty, it's a comic. Listen to my son, this is the name given by Yan Chengjin."

"Comics? Isn't that a kind of bird?"

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly surprised.

A kind of swan flies along the water, paying no attention to the grass, decaying mud and sand. It crows and sings without stopping, without even a single breath. This is called a painting.

It was written in a book by Zhu Yi, a scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I heard what Your Highness said."

Wang Hua said firmly.

Emperor Hongzhi became more and more curious about this so-called cartoon: "Let's go to the East Palace."

East Palace,

When he heard that Wang Hua had gone to complain, Zhu Houzhao knew that something was wrong. If his father found out the comics, he would definitely tear them up.

"You all get out!"

After everyone left, Zhu Houzhao looked around. If he hid on the beam, he would definitely be discovered by the Royal Guards.

"Where the emperor and the Royal Guards will definitely not find it?"

Zhu Houzhao had an idea and hid quickly.

A moment later,

Eunuch Feng shouted from outside the door: "Your Majesty is here!"

The palace door opened and Emperor Hongzhi strode in.

"Hidden?"

Zhu Houzhao said tentatively: "I have hidden it. The Royal Guards will definitely not find it this time. Can you please not punish me?"

Emperor Hongzhi signaled with his eyes, and several Royal Guards rushed into the hall, but they didn't find it for a long time.

Mou Bin went in personally, and came out after a while and said: "Reporting to your majesty, there is no one."

Wang Hua and Wu Kuan looked at each other and felt strange.

Xiao Jing volunteered: "I will go and look for it."

After a while, he also returned empty-handed.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Zhu Houzhao: "Hand it over! Don't force me to punish you."

"I burned it long ago... for fear of leaving evidence."

No wonder it couldn't be found, Mou Bin and Xiao Jing both said in their hearts at the same time.

Emperor Hongzhi believed it. The things hidden by the prince usually could not escape the factory guards.

It was just that this cartoon made him curious.

"If your majesty wants to know, why not summon Yan Chengjin and confront him face to face." Wu Kuan said.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and Mou Bin quickly ran to the duty room of the Censorate.

As for being questioned by your majesty, Yan Chengjin had been prepared long before Wu Kuan fainted in the toilet.

When he arrived at the East Palace, he was not panicked: "Your Majesty, your minister Yan Chengjin, see your majesty!"

"What's the matter with this cartoon! The son of Mr. Wu is painting it, and the prince is also painting it."

Emperor Hongzhi looked tense and stared at him.

"This is a new form of painting, which came from the French."

At this time, Leonardo da Vinci should be painting murals in St. Peter's Basilica.

It is said that when he painted the mural, he would first draw a small painting on paper, which became the origin of the cartoon.

Since it is the Renaissance, it is not too late for the East to rise now.

Wu Kuan sneered: "What is worth imitating about the things of the French?"

"What Mr. Wu said is very true! The things of the French are not worth circulating in the court."

Emperor Hongzhi looked down on it a little.

The Ming Dynasty banned the sea, in addition to resisting the invasion of foreign countries.

Secondly, there is also some contempt for foreign things.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the Japanese pirates in the southeastern sea? I think the strength of the Japanese pirates lies in their belief in the spirit of Bushido.

If my Ming comics are introduced into Japan, the spirit of Bushido can be solved in ten years.

The Japanese will be like chickens and dogs, and let my Ming Dynasty slaughter them."

Yan Chengjin was afraid that they could not hear clearly, so he spoke very slowly, with emphasis on pronunciation, and finished every word.

Cultural invasion, this is his grand plan for the Eastern Expedition.

During the Jiajing Dynasty, the famous general Toyotomi Hideyoshi will appear, causing heavy losses to the Ming Dynasty.

If you become a homebody, who would want to go out to sea?

Among the surrounding barbarians, only Japan is not so diligent in paying tribute.

Comics can deepen the mutual understanding between the two dynasties and promote cultural exchanges...

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked: "Is it so magical?"

"You are so arrogant, you dare to fool your majesty!"
