"Teacher? Are you kidding? You can draw even if you haven't seen anyone? There are not many pictures of the paintings in Tixing Yamen..."

In the study room of Christie's main store, Wu Haogu used a pencil to draw the outline of a human face on a picture of raw Xuan. He heard the questions of student Mi Youren and said with a faint smile: "The shape of a human face is regular, and the outline of the face can be roughly divided into eight types, such as the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character, the face of the Chinese character and the face of the Chinese character.

According to the distribution of facial features, it can be divided into inner face shape, outer face shape, upper face shape, lower face shape, hanging face shape and drooping face shape. According to different fat and thinness, it can also be divided into fat face shape and thin face shape.

In addition, the jaw, zygomatic bone and forehead on the human face can also be divided into several types. The ears, nose, eyes, eyebrows, and mouth can also be classified one by one.

Finally, expressions and charm can also be divided into eight categories, while people's temperament can be divided into four categories.

Now, the teacher has to draw these categories one by one on rice paper, and then take them to carefully select them for Wei Ming Abang and Meile. As long as he doesn't lie to me, I can draw a sixty or seventy-sixth-sixth-sixth-something Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia."

Wei Ming Abá is a famous general of the Western Xia royal family. She is quite dependent on Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, so she is naturally very familiar with Empress Dowager Xiaoliang. Xixia is not as particular as the Song Dynasty. She just listens to politics behind the curtains and has no curtains to cover it. Moreover, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang has led troops to fight many times, and she is even less particular when she goes to the front line.

Although Meile Du's status is not as good as Wei Ming Abang, she is also the supervisor of the Tiandu Military Supervisor Department. She is a famous general in the Western Xia Dynasty and has met Empress Dowager Xiaoliang many times.

So as long as Wei Ming Abang and Meile are willing to cooperate well, Wu Haogu can draw a rough idea - of course he is not a "simulated portrait" or an expert. If he changes to the "simulated portrait" expert of the later public security system to draw, it will not be similar to six or seven points, but eight or nine points.

However, sixty-seven points are enough to fool people. In this era, most Song Dynasty painters are not as good as portraits, let alone the level of Western Xia painters. If a "Photo of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang" with a similarity of sixty-seven points is delivered to the old and stupid Yelu Hongji, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang may be in big trouble.

Wu Haogu was painted one by one, and it took almost a morning to draw dozens of sample pictures, all of which were drawn by pencils.

"Okay," after the painting, Wu Haogu smiled at Mi Youren again, "Yuanhui, go to the Privy Council with his teacher to find Ji Yizhi... He will take us to Zhe Mansion to meet Weiming Abang and Meiledu."

The Zhe Mansion is the residence of the generals of the Zhe family in Kaifeng Mansion. The generals of the Zhe family were also famous in later generations. Many people know that their family has been guarding the prefectures for generations, and is a relatively special existence among the generals of the Song Dynasty. It is a separatist warlord with territory and private soldiers - probably Taizu of the Zhao family. Taizong forgot their family when he "releases the power of military power with a cup of wine."

However, the Zhe family, which owned a state, was loyal to the Emperor of the Zhao family during the Northern Song Dynasty and was always an important pillar of the Song Dynasty on the northwest border. Although the Zhe family's ancestors were of Dangxiang blood, they never felt lenient when fighting against the Western Xia ruled by the Dangxiang clan.

In the just-concluded Battle of Hengshan, Zhe Keshi of the Zhe family made great contributions, leading three thousand cavalry to raid the Xixia army in Tiandu Mountain, the important town west of Hengshan, captured the Xixia general Weiming Aba and Meiledu, and built the Tiandu Fort in Shanyin of Tiandu Mountain, as a stronghold for the Song army to control the important town of Tiandu Mountain. The captured Weiming Aba and Meiledu were personally escorted to Kaifeng Prefecture by Zhe family's "prince" Zhe Keda, the "prince" of the Zhe family's generals, and placed them under house arrest in the Zhe family's mansion within the Tianbo Gate.

Because of Zhang Feng's request (he wanted to get the information from Xixia from these two people), the official Zhao Xu had pardoned the "sin" of Wei Ming Abang and Mei Ledu - Xixia was a subordinate to the Song Dynasty, so these two guys were of course rebels. Since they were rebels, they could be recruited.

Therefore, Weiming Abang and Meile, two of them now live in the Zhe Mansion, waiting to become officials of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, with their status as Weiming Abang in the Western Xia, the official positions given by the Song Dynasty must be small, and they will not have to worry about eating, drinking and having fun for the rest of their lives.

Of course, if they want to live a good life in Kaifeng Prefecture, it depends on their performance...

...

"Zhehuangcheng, below is Ji Yi, the editor of the editorial department of the Privy Council, came to visit with an old certificate."

Shortly after lunch, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren followed Ji Yi to the Zhe Mansion in Tianbo Gate. Ji Yi showed the coupons who left the Zhe family to prove their identity, and then saw a tall and stout middle-aged man coming out to greet him. This man claimed to be the commander of the military commander of the Prefecture and the imperial city envoy, and with imperial equipment, Zhe Keda.

The military commander is similar to the later guard commander, who governs one state, one or more troops - not the kind of power in control, but will be in charge of the situation where all parties are constrained. After the implementation of the "Article of War", this position has been a bit under the slightest.

However, the military commander of Zhe Keda's prefectures and prefectures really has real power, because the soldiers and horses in the prefectures and prefectures are all private soldiers of the Zhe family.

The Imperial City Envoy is the military officer rank (the military officer rank after Zhenghe was reorganized before, but now it has been modified), and is one of the envoys of various departments and is at the level of an ambassador. The imperial equipment is a "post title", which is an honorary title. The real imperial equipment is the "master" who personally serves the imperial front and protects the official family with weapons.

When it comes to official positions, Zhe Keda is much more than Ji Yi, and he shouldn't have come out to greet him personally. However, he is a military officer, the kind of military officer who is most worried about his own military officer, while Ji Yi is an official of the Privy Council... Even if he is from the ninth rank, Zhe Keda dare not take it lightly. Moreover, Ji Yi also brought an old certificate issued by the Privy Council Zeng Bu - a document issued by the superior to the subordinate, with the ending of the four words "Here is a certificate" which was given to Zhe Keda.

After welcoming Ji Yi and others into the living room, Zhe Keda ordered his family to serve tea and entertain guests. While taking the old certificate from Ji Yi, he opened it and looked carefully.

Therefore, the content on the certificate is very simple, that is, the editorial department of the Privy Council needs to edit a book related to the Western Xia, so Ji Xiu took Lingshi and Hanlin Painting Bureau painters to ask Wei Ming Abang and Mei Le Du, two "submitted people". The order to cooperate fully and keep the secret.

The matter seemed not big, but after all, it was an order from the Privy Council, so Zhe Keda had to deal with it carefully.

In fact, even Ji Yi and Wu Haogu didn't know Zhang Dun and Cai Jing's plan was the plan set by Chongzheng Palace, and it must be kept confidential.

"So you want to see two surrenders?" Zhe Keda thought for a while and asked again, "Will you meet each other or see each other?"

"Is there any other way to say this?" Ji Yi didn't understand very much, but Wu Haogu knew what Zhe Keda meant.

"Jin Guanren must meet them one by one, so as not to deceive others."

The above command is to draw a photo of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia, and to be as realistic as possible. Then we should not let Wei Ming Abang and Meile deceive each other.

So the two people have to meet separately, and they cannot give them the opportunity to collude with their offerings.

"So that's it, let's see each other separately." Ji Yi asked Zhe Kedao again, "Imperial City, can the two people who surrendered to the Western Xia speak Chinese?"

Ji Yi can speak Chinese, Khitan, Goryeo and Persian, but she does not know how to speak Dangxiang.

Zhe Ke smiled and replied, "These two people know a little Chinese, but you probably don't understand their Chinese. Why don't you get the Sa family to do something about it?"

“That’s good.”

Zhe Keda was a Chinese Dangxiang person and had been fighting against the Western Xia ruled by the Dangxiang tribe. Dangxiang's language must be good. Moreover, Zhang Qing would send him to Kaifeng Prefecture, so he would definitely be able to suppress the two Dangxiang surrenders.

"I wonder which editor Ji wants to see first?" Zhe Ke asked.

Ji Yi thought about it and looked back at Wu Haogu, "Chongdao, how about seeing Wei Ming Abang first? He is closer to Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, so he should be able to remember her appearance."

"Okay." Wu Hao Ancient Road, "When the painting is finished, I will check it out if I ask Mei Le. If I can recognize it at a glance, it will be almost done."

What Wu Haogu wants to draw today is just a pencil sketch, and there is no need to draw the whole body. Just draw a portrait - body shape, ask about height, shortness, fatness, and thinness, and then ask about the costumes of the Empress Dowager Xixia. After you go back, you can draw a photo of fine brushwork and color to handle your errands.

...

Privy Council, Editorial Department.

On December 28th, when the year approached, Ji Yi finally brought a picture of "Photo of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang" that Wu Haogu had just drawn to Cai Jing.

"She is Empress Dowager Xiaoliang?" Cai Jing looked at the woman in the picture. She was about 35 or thirty-five years old. She had an oval face, big eyes, curved eyebrows, high nose, a cherry-like mouth, fair skin, and a rare beauty. What could not be hidden in her eyebrows was a strong sense of worry and murderous aura, and a noble temperament that had been living among people for a long time.

"Bachelor, she is Empress Dowager Xiaoliang... She has already been tested by Weiming Abang and Meile, and they are 70 to 80% similar."

"Seven or eight points?" Cai Jing asked, "Can you tell at a glance?"

"It is said that Weiming Abang and Meile can see it."

"Is the clothing right?" Cai Jing asked very carefully.

"Yes." Ji Yi said, "Wei Ming Ama and Meile have seen both, and Zhehuangcheng also said that they were painting correctly."

"Isn't you asking me to know?" Cai Jing asked again.

"There are no idle people who know about it," Ji Yi replied. "Only Xiaguan, Wu Dalang, Mi Yuanhui, Zhechenghuang and the two Xixia people who surrendered."

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Yizhi, do you know why this official asked this question?"

Ji Yi is not stupid. Cai Jing asked repeatedly, of course he knew that the use of this "Photo of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang" was not simple.

"The officials guess that the bachelor's degree needs to be used, right?"

Cai Jing nodded, "Do you know who it is using to use a trick?"

"Yes... Khitans?"
