"Congratulations! I wonder where the joy that Eunuch Fan mentioned comes from..." Yunze looked at Fan Hui with a smile. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he said calmly.
"Look! The imperial edict in our hands is a happy event. The Lord wants to recruit the young master to be an official in Beijing..." Fan Hui showed the imperial edict in his hand and smiled mysteriously at Yunze.
"The Holy One admires the young master's painting skills and poetic talents very much, and decided to let the young master enter the calligraphy and painting academy to serve. The Holy One appoints the young master to offer wine to the calligraphy and painting academy!"
Yunze looked stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the current emperor would actually give him such an official title. He thought he was being asked to go to Beijing as another official.
Speaking of this calligraphy and painting academy, Yunze had recently heard that the current emperor loved calligraphy, painting and poetry. In the final analysis, this was an emperor who only knew about eating, drinking and having fun, and did not know the sufferings of the world.
Of course, he is also very talented. He is good at poetry, especially calligraphy and painting, and has high attainments. To this end, a calligraphy and painting academy was specially established for people to learn calligraphy and painting.
The imperial examination of the Jing Dynasty even included calligraphy and painting as a subject. Used to select talents. In addition to calligraphy, painting and poetry, the emperor also loved Cuju. There was even a special Cuju competition in the capital.
The so-called sacrificial wine is actually a teacher from the calligraphy and painting academy. Considered a civil servant. The approximate grade is from seventh grade. It doesn't mean it's high, but it doesn't mean it's low either, and it doesn't have much real power.
Such an idle official position is exactly what Yunze likes. As long as he doesn't cause any trouble for the time being, he can be safe first and then develop obscenely.
Given the emperor's character, it was unexpected but also reasonable to grant Yunze such an official position. After all, Yunze was first famous in the capital for his poetry. Then, slowly, the paintings Yunze once painted slowly flowed out.
Even a portrait painting was sold for a hundred taels of gold. Some of those rich boys made a fortune.
"It seems to be a really happy event. Thank you very much, Eunuch Fan, for making this trip... Eunuch Fan, please come in. My nephew will take over the order." Yunze said to Fan Hui quickly.
Hearing this, Fan Hui nodded, but then shook his head. He pulled Yunze and walked inside, but he thrust the imperial edict directly into Yunze's arms.
"You and I are not outsiders, so this etiquette is waived. I accept the imperial edict, and I also ask you to come to Beijing with our family as soon as possible! I don't know how many days it will take you!"
He looked at Yunze with a smile.
"Since the father-in-law said this, my nephew is ashamed to accept it. As for the departure time, let it be three days later. I also ask the father-in-law to stay in the house, and the nephew will take care of the father-in-law..."
Yunze smiled at Fan Hui. When Fan Hui heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
He missed the things that Yunze gave him last time, especially the alcohol and perfume soap. He also had a faint scent on him.
Speaking of which, he was a eunuch. After castration, his personality was somewhat feminine. It was not surprising that he would like perfume and soap.
Yunze also noticed this. After introducing Fan Hui into the inner hall, he quickly asked someone to prepare drinks. At the same time, he secretly stuffed a bottle of perfume in a glass cup.
Compared with the perfume packaged last time, this time's perfume looked more upscale. Fan Hui's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he put it away with some embarrassment.
The conversation that followed went much smoother. Fan Hui told Yunze about what happened in the capital. Several imperial officials from King Kang's lineage suddenly came to visit Yunze.
Originally, it was impossible for a commoner like Yunze to attract others' attention. But the problem is that Yunze's name has long attracted the attention of the emperor because of his talents.
In addition, the emperor was praising Song Rui for his handling of the Ningzhou victims a few months ago, and Song Rui placed all the credit on Yunze, making the emperor even more interested in Yunze.
Therefore, it is not so surprising that the imperial historians reported that Yunze was suspected of rebellion. At that time, the emperor really listened to the greedy words of people from King Kang's lineage, and was ready to send someone to capture Yunze.
However, later Song Rui vouched for it, and at the same time, people from King Ming's line reported this matter. The censors from King Kang's line were suspected of being jealous of talents. He also said that Yunze, a commoner, had no ability to rebel.
This actually made the emperor give up the idea of coming to capture Yunze, but he also had the idea of recruiting Yunze to the capital. So there was an imperial edict to recruit Yunze to Beijing to become a wine worshipper at the Painting and Calligraphy Academy.
Because Yunze has no fame, if he wants to become a seventh-grade sacrificial wine, he can only rely on the imperial edict.
Fan Hui carefully told Yunze that the emperor's actions seemed casual, but in fact he meant to put Yunze under his nose and monitor him. Regardless of whether Yunze's rebellion is true or not. It is impossible for the emperor to trust Yunze.
The main reason was that Yunze's ability to deal with disaster victims made the emperor worry about Yunze's ambitions.
Fan Hui was sincere. He told Yunze to keep a low profile after entering Beijing. If something happens, I'm afraid he will be criticized and may even arouse the emperor's suspicion.
In addition, Fan Hui also told Yunze to be wary of officials from King Kang's lineage. He even prepared a list of officials from King Kang and King Ming for Yunze.
Yunze couldn't help but feel touched when he saw that the other party was so considerate towards him. He finally understood why Song Rui, an upright person, let him befriend Fan Hui.
Although this old man was an eunuch, he had good conduct and a kind heart. At least he was very kind to Yunze. What he said to Yunze can be said to have been heartfelt.
From his words, Yunze could easily hear the emperor's stupidity, and he became suspicious of him based only on the memorials of several imperial censors. Without even finding out the reason, they just take people away.
But because of a few words from others, I gave up the idea. However, she was suspicious of him. This person's character is not generally complex.
Not only that, this person even feels like he has no independent opinion. Acting completely swinging from side to side. Very easily influenced by others. But he felt that he was wise and mighty.
No wonder, the matter of uniting the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Khitan has not been negotiated yet, except that the DPRK and China are divided into two factions. His indecision is also the most important reason.
If he is arbitrary, or if he is really wise and powerful, he will definitely choose the most advantageous plan. It's not that the result hasn't been decided yet.
Furthermore, this emperor has almost no other abilities except eating, drinking and having fun. It would be strange if such an emperor governs the country and the country does not perish!
"Thank you for your father-in-law's advice. My nephew will keep it in mind... In the future, the palace will have to rely on your father-in-law's kind words..." Yunze smiled gratefully at Fan Hui.
Fan Hui quickly waved his hand.
"What did my nephew say? From now on, as long as our family can help, we will do our best!"
Giving away Yunze's things still had a great effect. The previous Fan Hui may have been sincere, but he was definitely not completely sincere. But at this time, calling Yunze my nephew is really treating Yunze as one of my own!
Yunze felt relieved. With such a person here, even if the emperor had any suspicions about him, there would always be someone who would say something on his behalf. If there is any first-hand information, he can know it as soon as possible.
