The Rise of the European Emperor

Ma Lin asks Liu Jin for help, Liu Jin agrees, and continues to ask the team of Jin Yiwei to accompany Ma Lin to visit the other eunuchs of the "Eight Tigers" at night.

It's just that the Jinyiwei team belonged to Liu Jin, so they naturally paid attention to the number of gifts given by Marin. Therefore, Marin is not easy to give too much. Otherwise, if you send too much, you will offend Liu Jin.

Therefore, Ma Lin gave each family two thousand taels of silver as he told Liu Jin. Two thousand taels of silver is really not much in front of the celebrities in front of Emperor Zhengde. The eunuchs Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju and Ma Yongcheng were not very satisfied. After all, they are the celebrities in front of the emperor, and they all have high vision.

However, because a few people did not control the government like Liu Jin, not many people bribed them. Moreover, speaking from conscience, 2000 taels of silver is not too little. Those local officials gave Liu Jin such a handy meeting gift, which started at only a thousand taels. But Liu Jin is in control of the government, especially the Ministry of Officials (Zhang Cai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is Liu Jin's party member), so those officials dare not refuse to give. As for Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju, Ma Yongcheng and others, because they have no real power, there are not many people who give them gifts. Two thousand taels is not too much, but it is not too little. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Marin is not a fool, so he naturally knows the dissatisfaction of these people. Therefore, before leaving, Marin hinted to a few people that there will be a second batch of silver in August...

August is the day when Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong return to Beijing from Anhua (Qingyang), when the two will impeach Liu Jin. Once Liu Jin fell, Marin had no scruples about sending others off. If you send it now, you will be suspected of offending Liu Jin.

Hearing that there was a second batch of money, the eunuchs were all happy. After all, eunuchs can't be humane, that's all they pursue. Moreover, sending the money in batches not only avoids offending Liu Jin, who is now in full swing, but also gives the other few tigers the impression that "the money is a bit tight", so as to prevent a few guys from blackmailing themselves in the future.

...

After giving gifts to several eunuchs, Marin did not stop, but continued to bribe. However, this time, the target was replaced by a civil servant.

First of all, it is naturally the cabinet assistant Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang has been serving as a cabinet assistant since Liu Jian was defeated by Liu Jin. Although Liu Jin controls the government, it does not mean that Li Dongyang is incapable. In fact, Li Dongyang is just smoother than Liu Jian. Moreover, although Liu Jin controls the government, it does not mean that Li Dongyang has no right to speak. It's just that Liu Jin controls the Ministry of Officials, holds the official title of hundreds of officials, and has more power to speak. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Moreover, with the downfall of Liu Jin in August, it will be the era of Li Dongyang after that. After all, Emperor Zhengde didn't like being in charge very much.

But the problem is that for civil servants like Li Dongyang, ordinary wealth cannot be seen. Moreover, Li Dongyang himself is not short of money. If you give him money, he doesn't need it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Marin decided to have something elegant...

At first, Marin planned to spend a lot of money to buy some calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, but he felt it was wrong. why? Because if he spends a lot of money to buy famous calligraphy and paintings, then Liu Jin will definitely get the news, and other members of the "Eight Tigers" will also get the news-well, it turns out that you still have money, and you don't want to give it to us...

Therefore, it is not feasible to spend a lot of money to buy paintings and calligraphy by famous artists. However, if you don't spend a lot of money, you can't buy high-grade calligraphy and paintings of famous artists. Calligraphy and painting are not high-grade, so why not take it out in front of Daming Imperial Assistant? \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

For this reason, Marin is very worried...

Then, Marin saw the bastard Dürer who had just eaten and was picking his teeth...

Well, just now I was worried that I didn't have good calligraphy and painting. Isn't there a living painter here?

So, Marin directly dragged Dürer, a bastard, to Li Dongyang's house...

However, when he arrived at Li Dongyang's house, Ma Lin realized that he seemed to be empty-handed...

Although it's good to lose your painting skills, it's really inappropriate to come to the door empty-handed...

then,

Standing in front of the gate of Li Dongyang's mansion, Ma Lin thought of an excuse:

"Please inform me that Ma Lin, the lord of the Beihai Kingdom, came to visit Mr. Li Ge. I heard that Mr. Ge is a master of poetry and painting, and he is the leader of the literary world of the Ming Dynasty. He is here to ask for calligraphy, which will be the national treasure of the Beihai Kingdom!" Then, Ma Lin Quietly stuffed a small silver ingot into Menzi's hand. After all, he is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Nima, this excuse...Marin couldn't help but want to give himself a thumbs up...

The literati in the Ming Dynasty loved fame the most. During Li Dongyang's assistantship, because of Liu Jin's domineering, his political achievements were not impressive. However, Li Dongyang likes to write poems and draw pictures, and he is known as the leader of the literary world. Marin's excuse is simply scratching the other side's itch...

At this time, Dürer was carrying a portfolio, pen, ink and paper on his back. He really looked like someone who came to ask for ink treasures...

...

Soon, Menzi came to ask Ma Lin to meet Li Dongyang in the back garden of Li Mansion.

And when Marin brought Dürer to the Li Mansion Garden, Li Dongyang happened to be wearing a bamboo hat and sitting on a small boat by the pool fishing. Because the sky was drizzling, he also put an exquisite coir raincoat over his shoulders to keep out the rain.

Ancient literati liked to dance and write, and many people also liked fishing. Because, it is said that fishing can cultivate one's morality, which is the style of a hermit... In layman's terms, fishing is also a means of pretending for literati...\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Although Ma Lin is the lord of the Beihai Kingdom, he is nothing in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, Li Dongyang is the assistant of the Ming Empire. Therefore, after Marin came, Li Dongyang didn't get up, but just nodded his head indifferently, and then invited Marin to rest for a while in the gazebo by the pool. It seems that he intends to greet Marin after fishing this round...

Marin sat bored, so he simply asked Dürer to turn on the painter and start painting. It is impossible to paint oil paintings, there are too many equipments for painting oil paintings, and it takes a long time. Therefore, drawing and writing are the best.

Dürer spread out the drawing paper, sucked some ink with a quill pen, and began to follow Ma Lin's instructions, and began to quickly draw the picture of Li Dongyang wearing a hat and coir raincoat sitting on a small boat by the pool and fishing.

However, in order to enhance the effect, Marin asked Dürer to replace the background of the pond in the Li Mansion garden with a big river. After all, fishing in a lonely boat on a big river is more compelling...\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Dürer has never seen a river, but he has seen the Rhine... Then, the picture of Li Dongyang fishing in the garden pond was painted by him as sitting on the Rhine and fishing——Li Dongyang was taken out without anyone noticing. country... However, fortunately, Dürer did not describe the background of the Rhine River too carefully, so it can be used universally...

...

Dürer painted very quickly, Li Dongyang didn't finish his fishing, and Dürer had already finished his painting. It is worthy of writing...

But this painting alone is not qualified to bribe the cabinet assistant of the Ming Dynasty. Without him, the compulsion is too low...

So, after thinking about it, Marin decided to use the traverser's nirvana - copying poems...

So, he imitated the passage where the literati wrote poems and pretended to be compared, and suddenly shouted:

"Yes!"

...

With this sound, he was so angry that he almost threw the fishing rod in Li Dongyang's hand...

Li Dongyang glared at Ma Lin angrily, and asked lightly:

"I don't know what Mr. Ma has?"

Marin shamelessly said:

"The younger generation just thought of a good poem, which just fits the elegant scenery of Mr. Li Ge fishing in the rain!"

"Oh? Why don't you sing it. I have been immersed in the poetry world for a long time. Although there are not many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, it is still possible to taste it." However, looking at his expression, there is no expectation. No wonder, after all, Marin is a fan ghost, who can compose poetry? It would be nice to be able to come up with a rhyming doggerel...

But as soon as Marin opened his mouth, he was attacked immediately...

"One coir, one hat and one boat,

One foot silk and one inch hook;

A song and a bottle of wine,

One person fishes one river autumn alone. "

...

"Pa——" The fishing rod in Li Dongyang's hand was really frightened this time and he threw it away...
