Gao Chong was still a little reluctant to part with his mother, so he hurriedly said, "Mom should live for a while! Kaifeng is so big, we haven't moved enough yet? I'll take my mother to have a good look and then send her back."

Li waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I have left Kaifeng for most of the time. I know the details and there is nothing strange about it. Erlang is still young, so I really can't rest assured, so I won't stay here for too long."

Gao Chong decided to leave when he saw his mother, "Mom, I will go to the palace tomorrow, and I don't have time to send you there. So! You stay for one more day, and I will take a day off the day after tomorrow to see my mother off."

Li looked at him helplessly and nodded, "Okay! I'll wait for another two days, but I agreed that it's only two days!"

Gao Chong quickly agreed and said, "Mother, are you looking at Zhang Zeduan's paintings? How do you feel?"

"It's really good. His skills are already perfect, and he is no less than the ancients. I plan to collect these paintings as heirlooms."

"Then congratulate my mother. I heard that this guy has a map of the Qingming River, which took 10 years to complete. It is a peerless treasure. Unfortunately, some of them were moved to the official family's reverse scale and were returned. I had the opportunity to lend it to my mother for a look."

"Don't worry about this matter. After all, it's someone else's hard work, which makes him misunderstood and it's not beautiful. Let's talk about it if you have the chance!"

"Children know, please don't worry, mother! Sooner or later, you will see this treasure."

The next day, Gao Chong came to the palace. When he heard the message he wanted to paint, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Yuanzhu also came to watch, and they also meant to help Gao Chong.

Zhao Ji recruited many painters from Xuanhe Painting Academy. These painters include Hanlin, waiting for recruitment, doctoral students, lecturers, and attendants. Although they have no rights, they enjoy the same treatment as civil servants, can wear official uniforms and enjoy the salary of the state.

In the past, Zhang Zeduan was just a Hanlin waiter, but he was demoted because of the Qingming Festival, because he offended the officials and was demoted. Now, the Xuanhe Painting Academy is in power with the brothers Cui Bai and Cui Xu.

I heard that the official wanted to ask a department in the Gunpowder Department to order a martial artist from the Gunpowder Department to show new painting skills, but they still disagreed. A martial artist, what painting skills can the Sesame official of the Gunpowder Department have?

Gao Chong was not timid at all. He held a simple pencil with his homemade painting technique: "The painting technique of the emperor, my minister is called sketching. It uses lines to draw monochrome paintings of objects with light and darkness, which is somewhat similar to our white drawings, but it adds some special skills and makes or things appear on the paper through the changes of light and darkness, which makes people or things appear on the paper, with more layered and three-dimensionality."

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Okay! We are about to have a look. Cui Bai, come and make the questions!"

Cui Baiyi pondered: "Since Your Majesty asked me to give a question, I dared to pronounce it as: No one in the wild crossing can be crossed by the boat."

The painting academies of the Song Dynasty also had assessments. Their exam questions were all one sentence or a piece of ancient poems, allowing the painter to imagine and think by himself, and then paint based on his imagination.

Gao Chong blinked and said, "Your Majesty, you are confident in painting with all the masters, and your writing is like a god. I am dull and dull..."

"Be confident? This word is well used. I remember Su Shi said: "So, you must first make bamboo in your heart." That's what it means."

Gao Chong opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I am dull and not very well-educated. Moreover, this painting method is not mature and needs a look. Can you please hire a guard or a palace maid? How about I press the painting?"

Cui Bai, Cui Xu and others felt a little contempt when they heard this, and were very disappointed with Gao Chong's sketch. Zhao Ji was just to appreciate this new painting method and did not have much hope. Seeing him jokingly, "Okay!, then..."

"Dad, let me do it!" Zhao Yuanzhu, who was watching next to her, suddenly jumped out. Zhao Ji was very happy today, and didn't hesitate. He asked someone to bring an embroidery pier for Emperor Yifu to sit down and ordered Gao Chong to start painting.

Gao Chong broke open the shelf and started smearing with his pencil. Zhao Ji and others stood behind him, watching Gao Chong paint quietly.

These people are all humans. When Gao Chong saw a few strokes, he outlined a human face and praised him secretly.

At this time, a man had already rushed to the door of the palace. He wiped the sweat beads on his head and bowed to the guard, "Thank you all, please inform me, and I will say that my minister Zhu Jie has something urgent to come to see you."

The guards knew that this guy was a popular man around the emperor, so they didn't dare to offend him, "Shoulder Zhu, wait, let's go in and report him." Someone turned around and informed the eunuch on duty that Zhu Xie asked for his meeting.

The eunuch did not dare to be negligent, and reported it to him layer by layer. The chief supervisor looked at Zhao Ji who was concentrating on watching Gao Chong's paintings, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Let Mr. Zhu wait a moment. The official is paintings, and there is no time to see him now."

Zhu Xie received the reward and rushed around in a hurry. His son Zhu Ruxian was suddenly captured by Kaifeng Prefecture. It is said that the Gunpowder Department sued him. He went to Kaifeng Prefecture to ask for someone. Although the prefect Cai Shao was very polite on the surface, he still made a vague statement that this was the complaint of Gao Chong, the Gunpowder Department's Office, and they had no way to refuse!

The Cai family suffered a loss at Gao Chong's hands. Everyone in Kaifeng Prefecture knew about this, but they didn't expect that they were really afraid of this small order. Of course, they might also want to use their own as a gun to make them get into evil with Gao Chong, but a small order was really not taken seriously by him.

Although you are very favored by Your Majesty, you are still much worse than me. Let’s compare and see who is more favored.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xie did not go to the Gunpowder Bureau to argue, but went straight to the palace, wanting to ask the emperor to help uphold justice.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji was admiring the painting, and let him stand outside for an hour.

It took more than an hour for Gao Chong to finish the painting. At first, Zhao Yuanzhu was still very fresh, but after a long time, he became bored. Fortunately, he didn't have to compare and draw. Zhao Yuanzhu had time to rest for a while.

"Hu——" Gao Chong finally completed his work. His performance this time was pretty good. Zhao Yuanzhu was happy and angry. The beautiful and cute girl looked vividly on the paper, just like a mirror.

"Mire! Wonderful! It's really amazing! This is the first time I have seen this painting method. The work is lifelike and distinct, and it is indeed unheard of. My dear, please explain to us your painting method."

Cui Bai and Cui Xu also took a step forward. Now they no longer had the pride they had just now. They listened carefully to Gao Chong's explanation and asked some of their own questions from time to time.

Seeing that they turned their attention to painting skills, Zhao Yuanzhu smiled and put away her portrait; then went to appreciate it with Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Fujin and others.

This discussion was another hour, and Gao Chong's knowledge was almost emptied by them. Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I have talked enough today. Gao Chong, I will give you Xuanhe Painting Academy and Hanlin's identity to be recruited. I will tell you about this sketching method in the future if I have the opportunity."

Gao Chong had already finished his talent and quickly thanked him; Zhao Ji, Cui Bai and others let him go.

Zhao Ji ordered everyone to disperse. As soon as Gao Chong was about to leave, he saw Li Yan running to Zhao Ji and muttering.

"Aiqing Gao, wait a moment, Li Yan, go and announce him in." Zhao Ji called Gao Chong at a loss. Li Yan glanced at him coldly, turned his head and ran out.

Not long after, Li Yan brought a fat white man in purple robe in. When he saw Zhao Ji, he knelt on the ground and said, "My minister Zhu Xie, please feel sorry for the emperor. I think that we father and son are working hard for the country, and we have no credit and hard work, and spare the dog's life."

As he said that, he lay on the ground, snot and tears, crying so pitifully. Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard this, "Zhu Aiqing, get up and talk, who wants to kill your son? What's going on?"

Zhu Xie stood up and cried, "Your Majesty, today the police from Kaifeng Prefecture broke into my hometown early in the morning, took the dog away without saying a word, and then got detained."

"Li Yan from Kaifeng Prefecture, went to Cai Shaoxuanguo and asked what was going on?"

Zhu Xie kowtowed quickly and said, "I have already gone to Kaifeng Prefecture to ask. The official Cai said that it was someone from the Gunpowder Department who sued the dog's son, so they went to find someone to arrest him."

"Gunpowder Office?" Zhao Ji was stunned and turned around and asked Gao Chong, "Gaoqing, what's going on? Did you go to Kaifeng Prefecture to file a lawsuit?"

"Your Majesty, I'm going to Kaifeng Prefecture to file a lawsuit." Gao Chong did not hide it at all and bowed to answer.

"Why? What conflict did you have with Zhu Ruxian?" Zhao Ji felt that Gao Chong was simply a hedgehog, which was too troublesome. The powerful people in the court made you casually.

"Does the emperor still remember the fireworks sales plan I mentioned yesterday?"

"Well, of course I remember this, is this related to Zhu Ruxian?"

"Your Majesty, yesterday, the fireworks were sold on the first day of the first day, and my inadequate consideration caused some problems in the sales process. Zhu Li, the official of the military governor, came to the fireworks shop and bought all the fireworks worth 10,000 yuan in one go.

The minister's subordinate Sui Yu personally brought the car to the Zhu family. However, after receiving the goods, Zhu Li refused to admit it and claimed that he had never paid the bill for buying things in Kaifeng Mansion.

I had a bad temper and was angry that I asked someone to go to Zhu Li to argue. Unexpectedly, when Zhu Ruxian found out, he and his subordinates smashed Chen's world-class red fireworks shop.
