Chapter 150: All Flatterers (Monthly Pass Over 400

"You, you..."

Mi Youren saw Zhao Ji at this time. Of course, he knew Duan King Zhao Ji. The Mi family father and son were the top actors in Kaifeng Prefecture's calligraphy and painting circle. They were of the same level as the prince consort Wang Shi, and they were also top relatives. How could he not know Zhao Ji?

However, he was still shocked by Zhao Ji who suddenly appeared in front of him. He raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Ji for a while... Maybe he was not shocked at all, Wu Haoguxin said: Just pretending to be surprised.

"Yuanhui," Zhao Ji was afraid that the other party would call out his name, so he quickly interrupted, "I am Zhao Xiaoyi, don't you remember?"

"Zhao Xiaoyi? You are Zhao Xiaoyi, a common scholar in Kaifeng Prefecture!?"

Before Zhao Ji finished speaking, Ji Yi and Mi Youren exclaimed at the same time.

Both of them looked like they saw the big star, so they just wanted to go up to ask for autographs and peace... But Wu Haogu didn't believe that these two people would not know that Zhao Xiaoyi was King Duan Zhao Ji.

They are all well-informed people!

It seems that being an official requires some acting skills.

Zhao Ji didn't know that he had met two "good actors", and he felt proud. In particular, his impression of Ji Yi was a little better. Because Ji Yi's facial expressions looked particularly "cute", they fully interpreted complex expressions such as worship, obsession and admiration.

What a good official! Zhao Ji also recognized Ji Yi and thought: If the world fulfills his wish in the future, he will be promoted...

By the way, Zhao Ji and Ji Yi had seen each other far away before, so it was "normal" to not recognize each other at once.

"It turns out it's Brother Xiao Yi. Su Dalang, Kaifeng. Your paintings are so good. I really like them so much. I must ask for a piece of paper today. As for Runbi, you can offer a price, and you will never bargain..."

At this time, Su Dalang was already holding a stack of cross-leavings, and his fat face was full of respect. This facial expression was no worse than Ji Yi.

Another good person! I don’t know if he has an official position? If not, that would be a pity. How could the Song Dynasty allow such a good person to be a civilian? Zhao Ji looked at the thick stack of contacts and had no intention of taking them, but he was so proud! He also looked at Wu Haogu proudly, as if saying: Did you see? The market has already given an evaluation!

Another flatterer!

Wu Haogu thought to himself: Can't you have some backbone? You must have backbone and be upright! How can I make such friends like Wu Haogu?

Thinking of this, he asked Ji Yi with a serious look on his face and said, "Brother Yi, did Miss Mo come?"

"Miss Mo?" Ji Yi was stunned, "No... Didn't she always stay in the Lianhua Temple in the southwest of Jinmingchi in the west of the city?"

The beauty turns out to be in Lianhua Temple!

Zhao Ji immediately remained silent and wrote down the address... He did not plan to ask this question again. As the prince of the Song Dynasty, he could not be too frivolous.

After planning to stop, Zhao Ji turned his attention to the two people who had not shown anything in the private room, Ma Zhi and Zhang Xizai.

Zhang Xizai was fine, but he didn't know the situation, so he showed a look of congratulations on getting rich and harmless. Zhao Ji didn't care much, and then he was attracted by the majestic Ma Zhi.

Ma Zhi was also looking at him, staring at him, looking very surprised. Of course, he didn't know that Zhao Xiaoyi was King Duan Zhao Ji - the next popular candidate for the Song Dynasty! And he didn't know that "Kaifeng civil servant Zhao Xiaoyi" or something.

These days, he has met Tong Guan almost every day to talk about the military and political affairs of the Northern Dynasties. How could he be in the mood to pay attention to trivial matters such as literati fighting paintings?

However, looking at Ji Yi, Su Dalang, Wu Haogu and others' attitude towards Zhao Xiaoyi, we can guess that this person's identity must be unusual.

"What do you call this hero?" Zhao Ji looked at Ma Zhi and called him "Heroic".

"I'm dismounting the horse, a person from Hebei." Seeing that Zhao Ji was being held by the stars, Ma Zhi did not dare to neglect him, so he stood up and bowed. However, he did not reveal his true identity, but only said that he was Hebei Ma Zhi.

"Hebei people," Zhao Ji suddenly thought of the increasingly tense relationship between Liao and Song, so he asked again, "Where is Hebei?"

"Hebei East Road, Qingzhou."

Qingzhou is the area of ​​Qingxian County, Hebei in the future. It is now a very small and narrow state. It is close to the border river (the Haihe River) on the north side, Cangzhou to the south and east, and Xin'an Army, Bazhou and Hejian Prefecture to the west.

Since the Yellow River flows north of the river just passed through Qingzhou and into Liao, Qingzhou, which had originally had a not particularly prominent strategic position, suddenly became a place that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty paid great attention to.

Once there are police in Qingzhou, the Song Dynasty may be in trouble.

"Can Qingzhou be stable in the local area?" Zhao Ji asked, "Can the north be stable?"

"Stable," Ma Zhi said, "Although the Yellow River flows in the north have harmed Cangzhou and Hejian Prefecture, they are good for Qingzhou."

"Okay?" Zhao Ji was a little confused.

Ma Zhi smiled and said, "Qingzhou has now become the key to the Song and Liao transactions. All goods transported from the Yellow River to the south must pass through Qingzhou.

As for the north... a certain family is a businessman, and they don't know much about the situation. They know that the north is now in trouble and cannot draw out their palace tent troops. They are just some Jingzhou soldiers who are clamoring."

"I'm in trouble in the north?" Zhao Ji asked with interest, "What a trouble?"

"Zhubu." Ma Zhi said, "that is the nomadic people on the grasslands in the northern desert. Now they are called Zhubu. There are four divisions in the southeast, west and north. North Shubu rebelled seven years ago. The Khitans have been fighting with them until now, but they have not yet been pacified."

"There are still such things?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised.

Even the prince, who knew little about the matter on the grassland during this era - of course, this was caused by the Song Dynasty's ignorance of intelligence work.

In history, Beizhubu and the Khitan fought for more than ten years, but no historical materials of the Song Dynasty secretly connecting Beizhubu were seen. The Song-Jin Alliance was completely handled by Ma Zhi, a Han Chinese from the Liao Kingdom. If it weren't for him, the Song Dynasty court would probably not know about the Liao-Jin War until the Jurchens swept Yanyun.

"This matter is absolutely true." Ma Zhi said.

He was also a little surprised by the "not knowing Liao" in the Song Dynasty. On the one hand, the Song Dynasty had severe fear of Liao, but at the same time, it was not known to Liao, and it seemed that it did not send a large number of detailed works to spy on the Liao Kingdom... If the Song Dynasty really wanted to restore Yan and pacify Liao in the future, it would be necessary to do more detailed works, and it would be better to set up a yamen dedicated to spying on foreign intelligence!

Zhao Ji was not as far-reaching as Ma Zhi. He only knew that this time the Song Dynasty could finally be proud!

At least I can be proud in the northwest. If I could take advantage of the situation to destroy the Western thieves...

Just when Zhao Ji was a little imaginative, a waiter greeted him again outside the door: "Three guests, please... here... the first room of Zhonger Day 1 is here."

This time, Wu Haogu’s two brothers Guo Jing, Liu Wuji, as well as the old army Han Lin Wancheng and his son Lin Chong. Lu Qian and Lu Xiaoyi did not come. He was plagued by military affairs today and could not leave much.

The Lin family and his son were all wearing blue cloth shirts, which were a little white in their wash, and their outfits all looked very simple. Only Lin Chong put a plum blossom on his temples, which made him look younger and more energetic.

The father and son were still a little worried when they looked at it, but were still worried about Lin Chong's wife's problem. Although with the loan provided by Wu Haogu, the small house was finally settled.

But Carpenter Zhang, even the coach Zhang who knows nothing about martial arts, still looks down on Lin Chong... The old man dislikes Lin Chong for being incompetent and is afraid that his daughter will suffer with her.

And just as Lin Chong was walking outside protecting Wu Haogu, Dalang Yu Baihua, who was known as the first needle of the "Embroidered Yu Family", who was known as the first needle of the Kaifeng Imperial Army, had already asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to coach Zhang and wanted to marry Zhang Xiaozi to fill in the house!

"Embroidered Yu" is so powerful. His ancestors were the powerful generals of the Yin Gun Xiaojiedu of the Wei Ya Army. After "Zhao Zaili Tu Jun", they defected to Shi Jingtang. Later, they served in the Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou and Great Song. Although they did not get any high-ranking officials, they were also military generals in the founding period of the Song Dynasty.

After peace in the world, the Yu family became even more amazing. On the one hand, the young martial officials who were in charge of the imperial guards for generations, occasionally produced a few young martial officials of the eighth or nine ranks. On the other hand, they also opened an embroidery workshop and managed a huge family business!

Where can Lin Wancheng and Lin Chong and his son compare this ability to "embroider the family"?

Bow, horse, riding and shooting... it has long been outdated!

Zhao Ji was not very interested in Lin Wancheng and his son, but was attracted by the two Taoist priests of Guo Jing and Liu Wuji. Taoism is the national religion of Zhao Song, and the ancestors of the Zhao family were also regarded as the heavenly priests of Taoism, namely the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming. Therefore, people from the Zhao family, including Zhao Ji, all believe in Taoism, and Zhao Ji likes to be close to Taoist priests even more.

The two fake Taoist priests who were mingling in the world, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji were really a little daring. When they saw Zhao Ji surrounded and held by everyone, they immediately knew that this was no ordinary person.

As for who it is, I dare not guess.

The fortune-telling profession is also profound, but Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are only at the entry-level level and cannot really see through numerology. They can only rely on "seeing", "listening", "speaking" and "acting" to make some money.

The so-called "look" is not about looking at the appearance, but about looking at the person's expression, expression, clothing, action, etc. Through these, we can figure out the other person's thoughts and guess the other person's status.

Listening, like watching, is also an analysis through observation and inferring the other party’s approximate identity and status and inner thoughts.

As for speaking and acting, it is based on watching and listening. Only by seeing and listening correctly can you say that acting is good and good.

Today, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji could see that Zhao Ji was not simple at first sight. Not only were they surrounded by stars and moonlight, but their temperament and demeanor seemed elegant and extraordinary. They were not at all shy when they were held by others. Obviously, they had been used to it for a long time.

In addition, they just saw Gao Qiu and several guards from the Duan Prince's Mansion in the corridor... so there is no need to listen, just by looking.

After seeing it clearly, it means "speaking" and "acting".

However, it is not easy to say good or good performance. If you accidentally say the wrong thing, you will make a fuss...

Fortunately, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji have some experience in the world. They know that the key to "talking" is not about talking too much, and the key to "acting" is not about having more dramas.

They are charlatans, not actors.
