Chapter 57: The Word in the Picture

Hearing the five princes say such things, everyone was in an uproar, and the two princes both presented Master Qian Songqing's famous work "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and there was only one painting, so one of these two people must be fake.

Offering a fake painting at His Majesty's birthday banquet is not a joke, it is clearly fooling His Majesty. Thinking about it further, I want to show that Your Majesty is not worthy of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, so ...... Who deserves?

Hearing another son say this, Emperor Cheng Xuan was puzzled, and he was in a hurry to send the painting together, so he pulled down his face, "Present it to me." ”

Emperor Cheng Xuan quickly opened this painting scroll of "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", compared the two, he tightened his lips, these two paintings are exactly the same, how to divide this?

"Ladies and gentlemen, can any of you tell which of these paintings is real and which is imitation?"

Everyone looked at it carefully and shook their heads. They saw that the brushes and inks used in these two paintings were the same rough and bold, and they both skillfully used the technique of axe splitting, showing the majesty and grandeur of the mountains and rivers with the surface and blocks. They looked at the paper again, but found no trace of the new production, and they couldn't tell any of them.

Helian Xi was leisurely shaking his fan on the side, he was watching the excitement from the side, thinking to himself, even if you can tell which painting is true and which painting is fake, do you dare to say it? If you say it, you will inevitably offend one of the princes, and if you attract anyone to hold a grudge, you will be asking for trouble for yourself.

He knew very well the faces of these ministers, and laughed in his heart. What's more, these people say that they like Master Qian Songqing, but they haven't read or studied it seriously, where do they understand this!

"Can't tell the difference? Can it be exactly the same? Emperor Cheng Xuan suppressed his anger, "Do you want to tell me that these two paintings are from Master Qian Songqing?" ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the eunuch beside Emperor Cheng Xuan came up with an idea and said something in His Majesty's ear.

Emperor Cheng Xuan nodded and glanced at him approvingly. Then he faced the ministers, frowned, and said in his heart what are you people doing, and there is no one who even has an idea at the critical moment.

"Helian Gongzi, they all say that there are many people on the Infinite Mountain, I wonder if you can help me solve this problem?" Emperor Cheng Xuan's words are very skillful, although Wuliang Mountain does not ask about foreign affairs, but if Helian Xi refuses at this time, it will lose the face of Wuliang Mountain. Others will only say that no matter how powerful Wuliang Mountain is, it can't even tell the picture.

Helian Xi stood up and bowed slightly, holding a fan with both hands and saluting, "Your Majesty, it's actually not that difficult to distinguish between these two paintings, it's just that everyone didn't think about it for a while." ”

"How?"

"If you want to distinguish the authenticity of these two paintings, you need to understand the life of Master Qian Songqing, understand his mood when he created this painting, and understand the details of his situation when he created this painting. I have to say that this imitation painting person is very powerful, if you look at it from the next pen, he actually learned a ten, from other aspects of the two paintings, there is nothing to distinguish clearly, but this time the distinction is not judged from the painting ability. ”

Helian Xi continued to talk eloquently, "Maybe you don't remember that Master Qian Songqing is not only a master of painting, but also a master of ink making. It is a pity that his method of making ink is now lost. The ink he made does not stink for a long time, the mounting does not run ink, the thick ink does not stagnate the pen, and the light ink has layers. None of this is the most critical, the most powerful thing is that he made a kind of hidden ink. ”

"This ink has the same function as its name, it is invisible when it is painted, but when it encounters water, it becomes apparent, and when it dries, it disappears again. In that year, Master Chimatsu Qing was very excited to make this ink, and since then, he has used this ink for every painting he paints. ”

Helian Xi unfolded the fan at once, "We are lucky that this painting was painted at the same time after this ink was made. So to tell the truth of these two paintings, you just need to ......"

Although Helian Xi never finished speaking, everyone understood that if they wanted to distinguish the true from the fake, they could only use splashed water. Everyone wondered if the painting could be preserved if it was splashed with water. Whether it will lose its value, but this is not something they should worry about, it depends on the decision made by His Majesty.

The ministers have looked at the current situation, involving the two princes, if you don't distinguish one clearly, I'm afraid it won't work, then you can only splash water to distinguish the true from the fake.

Luo Rao said in her heart that if it was water, it would definitely be true and false, she was a little worried, I don't know if His Majesty will punish the second prince heavily, if it is taken lightly, then this plan will be in vain, then the heroic soul of the Shen family, what will she use to appease.

"Someone, bring water." Emperor Cheng Xuan commanded.

The little eunuch quickly took the water, and after taking it, he looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan what to do.

Emperor Cheng Xuan said one word, "Splash." ”

He did as he was told, and first splashed the water in the small basin on a painting on the right, which was the one Qi Lian offered. When the painting was dipped in water, something magical happened, there was an extra round of red sun on the painting, and the entire thousands of miles of rivers and mountains painted on the painting were dyed with light, full of hope, and the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet.

With the addition of this red sun, the whole picture is vivid, and even better, the whole painting is ink, and the hidden ink can actually make the color visible. After splashing the water, the ink on the painting was not scattered elsewhere. How could such a painting not become a masterpiece.

Emperor Cheng Xuan watched for a long time, was silent for a while, and already had points in his heart, it turned out that the fifth child was real. Even though the facts were already in front of him, he still didn't believe it, and said to the little eunuch: "Go, splash another one." ”

The little eunuch splashed the water in his hand on another painting, and after splashing, when he saw the words in the painting, he was so frightened that he knelt down in a cold sweat and looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan with great fear.

Emperor Cheng Xuan saw that he was so afraid, and he was a little puzzled, what was wrong? How can you suddenly be scared like this. He looked closer, saw the four extra words on the painting, and angrily overturned the low banquet table.

Qi Yin thought that Lao Wu's painting must be fake, because his painting was snatched from the Shen family, so he was very sure that he was real. He waited very confidently for the proof to end, and then accepted the title of king, but when he saw that Emperor Cheng Xuan's face was wrong, he overturned the table and asked suspiciously: "Father, what's wrong?" ”

"Bastard." Emperor Cheng Xuan smashed the fake painting on Qi Yin's face, and said angrily: "Take a good look at what is written on it?" ”

Qi Yin hurriedly took the painting and opened the painting, some of the ink on it was already beginning to be unclear, but only four words were very clear, and when he saw this for a while, he was also stunned, how could it become like this. He really wished that he had never gotten this painting, and regretted that he hadn't given it to his father after a good examination.

The four words on the picture are exactly ...... Millennial King VIII.
