But this also made many officials who were close to Zheng Qingzhi dislike Chen Guiyi. Even many people who had nothing to do with Zheng Qingzhi were dissatisfied with Chen Guiyi. They thought that he was guilty of the following, lacked respect for the prime minister of the dynasty, and had lost his decency, so they criticized him a lot.
.
Therefore, Chen Guiyi served as the right minister of the household department. Except for Zhen Dexiu, who gave him a lot of guidance, others ignored him, and some even deliberately excluded him.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly, dipped in ink, and continued to draw. Zhao Yun said: "No one is jealous of mediocrity. The Qing family just needs to be themselves and don't worry about others."
Chen Guiyi raised his head and looked at Zhao Yun, his eyes showing emotion.
"Yuan Shao, the Yin of Lin'an Prefecture, lost his waist a few days ago, and he is not ready yet. I allow him to recuperate for another month. Within this month, I will assign you to temporarily replace him. The Qing family will take office tomorrow."
Chen Guiyi was surprised and hesitated: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with me temporarily replacing Yuan Shijun?"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yun asked nonchalantly.
"After all, I am the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I exercise my authority on behalf of Yuan Shijun. If my name is not correct and my words are not correct, how can I convince the people of the government? If the people are not convinced, I will not do my best in my work."
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Isn't it justifiable to have my support? Just do what the Qing family does boldly, and I will support you."
After saying that, Zhao Yun's painting was finished. Zhao Yun stamped it, rolled it up, and gave it to Chen Guiyi.
Zhao Yun said: "This painting was given to the Qing family. I painted it randomly. It's not a good painting, but I want to make the Qing family laugh."
"I don't dare. I thank your Majesty for the generous reward."
Chen Guiyi was surprised and moved when he received the gift from the emperor. He bent down respectfully, raised his hands high, and took the painting from Zhao Yun. Then Zhao Yun told Chen Guiyi a few things to pay attention to, and then he left.
After leaving Funing Hall and returning to the Hubu Yamen as an errand, Zhao Yun's paintings were placed on the table. Several times he wanted to open them to see what Zhao Yun had painted. He felt excited, but the Hubu people were too talkative, so he still
I endured it.
When it was time to go to the San Yamen office, Chen Guiyi carefully took the painting, left the Hubu Yamen, and returned to his mansion.
On the way, Chen Guiyi met his good friend Li Zongmian, who invited him to sit in the Dianqing Pavilion. Chen Guiyi went happily.
When they came to Dianqing Pavilion, they invited some girls to accompany them, and they drank happily. The girls knew that they were officials, and they also tried to please them and persuade them to drink. The two drank happily.
Half drunk, Chen Guiyi talked about Zhao Yun's order to temporarily replace Yuan Shao, and also said that Zhao Yun gave him a painting. Li Zongmian was curious and asked Chen Guiyi to open the painting and take a look.
Although Chen Guiyi was half drunk, he understood the seriousness and said he would see it again when he returned home.
At this time, several girls around him started making noises and put their arms in Chen Guiyi's arms, asking him to take it out and look at it.
The beauty begged her and could not refuse. Chen Guiyi carefully unfolded the painting. When everyone saw it, they were dumbfounded.
I saw that what was painted on it was not mountains, rivers, lakes, or birds and animals, but a boat. To be precise, it was a broken boat.
The sails were broken, and the hull was full of holes of various sizes. There were no sailors or bosses on the ship, only a broken ship wandering alone on the sea, rippling in the wind.
Li Zongmian was puzzled and said: "What does the official painting mean?"
Chen Guiyi also shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
A girl looked at it and said, "I know."
"Oh, the girl knows? Please give me some advice." Chen Guiyi was curious and raised his hand to ask the girl for advice.
The girl said to Chen Guiyi: "I heard from the officials that they ordered you to temporarily act as Lin'an governor, and then the officials gave you this painting of a ship with broken sails. I think the officials are comparing you to the officials."
As a ship-repairer or a paper-pastor, you will repair wherever there is a leak. This painting shows the trust and respect that the officials have for you. You are here to congratulate the officials. In the future, the officials will surely have a bright future."
Li Zongmian also agreed, nodded repeatedly, and was overjoyed. He happily congratulated Chen Guiyi for his promising future.
Chen Guiyi also agreed with the girl's view. Considering his current situation, this is indeed true.
It was a happy thing to be valued by Zhao Yun. Then Chen Guiyi and Li Zongmian toasted to each other. Several girls were also very happy and tried their best to persuade them to drink.
That night, Li Zongmian and Chen Guiyi did not return home. Instead, they got drunk at Dianqing Pavilion and spent the night in Wenrou Township.
It is said that the fragrance everywhere in Wenrou Township can turn hundreds of refined steel into softness around the fingers, but I wonder if Chen Guiyi and Li Zongmian realized it at this time.
"ah."
In the early morning, a panicked shout broke the tranquility of Dianqing Pavilion, and there was a commotion. In the end, only Chen Guiyi and Li Zongmian were seen leaving Dianqing Pavilion in despair. Later, the two appeared at the entrance of the palace, kneeling in front of the palace.
Please forgive me on earth.
At this time, Zhao Yun was still having breakfast in Funing Hall. He took a steamed bun in his hand, tore it into small pieces, put it in the meat porridge, and ate it.
A little Huangmen walked up to Gao Shi and whispered a few words to Gao Shi.
Gao Shi was surprised, and then walked up to Zhao Yun and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Guiyi, Chen Shijun, Li Zongmian and Li Shijun knelt down outside the palace gate to apologize, saying that the painting given by His Majesty was lost by them."
Zhao Yun stopped holding the spoon in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Gao Shi, "Is the painting lost?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, they said the painting was lost."
"Hehehe,,,"
Zhao Yun chuckled softly a few times, thinking that this Chen Guiyi was really not worthy of praise.
Zhao Yun ate his breakfast leisurely, and finally took the brocade handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said, "Let the two of them come to Funing Hall and kneel down."
After saying that, Zhao Yun got up and went to Cining Hall to greet Empress Dowager Yang. Gao Shi ordered someone to deliver the message and brought Chen Guiyi and Li Zongmian to the entrance of Funing Hall.
Zhao Yun then went to the Cining Hall and sat there for a while, then went to his mother's Cixiang Hall, where he drank a small bowl of porridge with his mother, Zhao Quanshi, and finally returned to the Funing Hall.
Seeing Zhao Yun coming back, Chen Guiyi and Li Zongmian bowed their heads. Chen Guiyi said: "Your Majesty, I have lost the painting given by your Majesty. It is a capital crime. Please forgive me."
Li Zongmian followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, I encouraged Chen Shijun to go to Dianqing Pavilion for entertainment, which caused Chen Shijun to lose the painting. I am also guilty. Please forgive me."
Zhao Yun looked at the two of them, feeling quite disappointed with Chen Guiyi. The meaning of this painting was that he had great expectations for him. The painting itself was not important, but his expectations for him were of great significance.
But who would have thought that he would lose the painting in just one night? It can be seen that Chen Guiyi's attitude is not solemn and solemn enough. Can such a character really be entrusted with big things?
Looking at Chen Guiyi, Zhao Yun said: "Do you understand what my painting means?"
