The roots of the dudes are the nobles, and the nobles have a common problem that is almost pathological, that is, greed.
So when the teenager heard Kou Ji's explanation of the stakes, a greed flashed in his eyes.
"Really?"
The boy licked the corner of his mouth and looked at Kou Ji with burning eyes.
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
A smile appeared on the boy's face, and he laughed in a low voice: "I promise to cooperate with you, how do you want me to help you?"
Kou Ji said: "I need some people who have a clear foundation and can handle it, and two pieces of paper."
The bottom line is clear, there are a lot of people who can live in the teenager's home, which is not difficult for the teenager.
Chengxintang paper is the best paper in the world. It used to be the special paper used by Li Yu, the postmaster of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After the Southern Tang Dynasty was banished by the Great Song Dynasty, Chengxintang paper became a tribute.
Therefore, Chengxintang paper is rarely seen in the market, but it is not uncommon in palaces and some official households.
Kou Zhun had many Chengxintang papers from the palace in his hand, and many Chengxintang papers from the palace in the boy's home.
So this condition is not difficult for teenagers.
After hearing the two conditions of Kou Ji, the young man was obviously a little stunned. He stared at Kou Ji and asked: "It's that simple?"
Kou Ji smiled and shook his head, "Of course it won't be that simple. If it is so simple, I don't need to ask you to cooperate."
After a pause, Kou Ji drank a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and added: "I also want to borrow the picture of "Spring Play" from the mansion."
Hearing this, the young man was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said for a while: "That picture is immobile. If something goes wrong, my father will kill me."
Kou Ji expected this reaction from the teenager.
Kou Ji's "Spring Play" is not an ordinary painting.
In the previous years, the Great Song Dynasty suppressed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Yu, the queen lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his queen, Xiao Zhouhou, were sent to the city of Bianjing together.
After Xiao Zhou, she looks glamorous and is known as the world's first beauty.
Zhao Guangyi, who was still king of Jin at the time, coveted her.
After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he immediately held a banquet for his wife in the palace.
At that time, Xiao Zhou later was also invited to this banquet.
After the banquet was over, Zhao Guangyi stayed behind Xiao Zhou and was fortunate for three days. ,
Not only that, he also asked the painter in the palace to paint his glory at that time.
This painting is called "Spring Play."
It also has a widely sung name in later generations, called "Xiling Xing Xiao Zhouhou Picture".
Regarding this painting, many speculations and inferences have been derived in later generations.
Some people say that this painting is fake and imitated by the people of the Yuan Dynasty.
Kou Ji originally thought so.
Because if it is a painting that Zhao Guangyi ordered to paint, it is impossible for the word'Xiling' to appear. Xiling is the tomb of Zhao Guangyi.
However, what changed Kou Ji's perspective was that when he was inquiring about the news in the market, he discovered that this painting was in the Song Dynasty and had another name called "Spring Play."
And this "Spring Play Picture" is now hidden in the boy's home.
Speaking of this, I have to talk about the origin of the teenager.
The boy's name was Liu Heng, and Liu Jiashu gave birth to the second son.
His eldest brother Liu Congmei, an official in the sixth rank, served as the junior superintendent of military equipment, and Jia Zhenwei, the captain.
His elder brother Liu Congde, the same as the sixth grade, was added as a supply treasurer. He was a vacant title who only received salary and did not need to serve.
His father, Liu Mei, was a fifth-rank official who was awarded the commanding envoy of the Dragon Shenwei Sixiang and led the Zhaozhou defense envoy. The official rank is not high, but the power is great, commanding the elite of the 100,000 Forbidden Army outside the city of Bianjing.
More importantly, the Liu family is still a relative of the emperor.
Liu Heng's aunt, Liu Mei's sister, is the current queen Liu E.
It is worth mentioning that the Liu family, a relative of the emperor, has no blood relationship with the Zhao family.
Although Liu Mei and Liu E call each other siblings, they are not blood relatives.
Liu Meiyuan's surname is Gong, and his name is Gong Mei. He is a silversmith in Shu.
Liu E's ancestors were from Taiyuan, and his family went down in the middle of his family. And it was promised to Gong Mei when she was very young.
Gong Mei was depressed in Shu, planning to go to Bianjing to make a living, so she took her with her.
After Gong Mei arrived in Bianjing, she planned to sell Liu E and marry someone else because of difficulties in making a living.
At that time, Zhao Hengshang was the King of Han, and his minister Zhang Qi recommended Liu E to him.
When Zhao Heng saw Liu E, he loved it and went to the house.
After Zhao Heng ascended the throne, in order to cover up Liu E's unbearable years, Liu E and Gong Mei were married and gave Gong Mei the surname Liu.
Gong Mei has since become Liu Mei.
Under the support of Liu E, Liu Mei has made steady progress, from a silversmith to a rank five master who has mastered the elite of the 100,000 imperial army.
The rich and powerful in the city of Bianjing, so there is one more family.
Liu family!
"Spring Play" is the gift that Liu E personally selected for Liu Mei when Liu E and Liu Mei became involved.
Little is known about the purpose of Liu E's choosing this "Spring Play Picture" for Liu Mei.
However, Liu Mei has always remembered Liu E's instructions and carefully cherished this picture.
Liu Heng knew the importance of this picture, so he was so nervous when Kou Ji suggested that he needed "Spring Play."
Kou Ji heard what Liu Heng said, and laughed aloud: "You don't need to be so nervous, I don't need that picture, and it's even impossible to make tricks on that picture. I just need you to invite that picture out and let me One view."
Liu Heng said bitterly: "Really just look at it?"
Immediately, he seemed to feel that his heart was moved, a little dangerous, and he quickly added, "Can't other pictures work? There are still many celebrity calligraphy and paintings in my family."
Kou Ji picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of the stale tea that had been placed, and smiled calmly: "It must be..."
Liu Heng gritted his teeth, hung his head, and said nothing.
He seemed to weigh the pros and cons there.
Kou Ji did not urge, just drank tea and waited quietly for his answer.
After a while, Liu Heng raised his head, staring at Kou Ji in a daze, and reconfirmed: "Really just looking at it?"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Just take a look, if you are not at ease, I can go to your Liu Mansion to see the painting."
Liu Heng shook his head with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice, "Well, there is a restaurant at the door of the mansion. It is the property of Liu Mansion and the only property that my father assigned to me. The people in it are all my confidants. We can Go there to see the painting."
Kou Ji Le.
From Liu Heng's words, he heard that Liu Heng had already agreed to his request.
When the benefits far exceed the risks he has to take, he will obviously choose benefits.
When Kou Ji asked Liu Heng for cooperation, he knew that there would be this answer.
"It's not too late, let's go now..."
Liu Heng got up immediately, took Kou Ji and walked out.
