Chapter Ninety-Seven: Lingyan Pavilion
Li Shimin sighed regretfully, but he didn't pursue it too much, after all, an unconfirmed question was not enough to shake his mind.
At this moment, Princess Jinyang on the side kept being coquettish in Li Shimin's arms and kept whispering in Li Shimin's ear.
Li Shimin looked at Princess Jinyang with a doting face, glared at Morton hatefully, and said, "For Jinyang's sake, I will spare you this time!" If you dare to mess around again, be careful to hit the board again! ”
Merton breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this time he had passed the test in a fool's way.
"Thank you, Princess Jinyang!" Merton hurriedly thanked Princess Jinyang.
"I haven't thanked you for saving Jin?" Princess Jinyang looked knowledgeable and reasonable, and she looked very cute.
Merton had an idea and said: "It's better for Your Majesty to love her daughter, Princess Jinyang is knowledgeable, why don't you let Merton paint this family happiness and keep it forever." ”
Merton discovered Li Shimin's weakness, the special beloved Princess Jinyang, and it was better to please Li Shimin than to please Li Shimin's little padded jacket.
"Okay! Okay! The son must always accompany his father! When Princess Jinyang heard that Merton was going to paint him and Li Shimin, she was very happy and cheered again and again.
Li Shimin's eyes also lit up, but he still glanced at Wei Zheng with a little worry.
Wei Zheng glanced at Merton helplessly, this guy's kung fu is really unguardable, but he saw Princess Jinyang's expectant look, and he couldn't say anything about the words of advice, if this was just Li Shimin himself, Wei Zheng would inevitably have to advise, but Merton's reasons were above board, and he couldn't disturb Li Shimin's family fun!
"Little slippery!"
Wei Zheng said secretly in his heart.
"Okay, today I will learn how to make Yan Liben fascinated by the new painting skills." Li Shimin saw Wei Zhengwei's rebuttal, and laughed loudly.
Not only Li Shimin, but even Wei Zheng was looking forward to it, with his identity, it was impossible for him to go to the Jiaosifang to see Merton's paintings in person, which did not mean that he was not curious about the new painting techniques that were said to be like real people.
Originally, Morton entered the palace this time, and was going to return the painting owed to Li Chengqian by the way, so he brought a pencil with him. Now it's time for the pie field.
The pencil is sharpened and the rice paper is laid out. Everything is ready to go.
"Please sit down with Princess Jinyang in your arms!" Merton gestured.
Hearing Merton's words, Princess Jinyang immediately rushed into Li Shimin's arms, hugging Li Shimin's neck tightly, and at this moment Li Shimin did not have the majesty of the emperor, and hugged Princess Jinyang with a smile.
Morton remembered this picture deeply, and the pencil in his hand kept swishing, restoring this picture on the paper to the greatest extent.
After a long time, Morton dropped the pencil in his hand, and said to Li Shimin, who was already stiff holding Princess Jinyang, with a long sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, it has been drawn." ”
Li Shimin glared at Morton fiercely, he didn't expect this kid to paint a picture so tormented. If you don't draw well, you can look good with this kid.
Merton was glared at by Li Shimin, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness, but fortunately, he was confident in his painting skills.
"Your Majesty, please look!" Merton said confidently.
Li Shimin was also curious about what this kid had drawn after fiddling for so long, so he immediately got up and came to the table.
"Shhh Is this me? ”
Li Shimin looked at the rice paper, a loving father with a delicate daughter in his arms, his eyes were full of fatherly love, and the portrait of the daughter was lifelike, exactly the same as his baby Princess Jinyang, his father's face was clearer than when he looked at the bronze mirror, and the new painting skills were so realistic, Li Shimin was shocked and stunned.
"Father! What's the matter, isn't the son's painting not good-looking? Princess Jinyang was not tall enough to reach the table, so she stretched her head anxiously on her feet, wanting to see the contents of the portrait.
Li Shimin suddenly realized, then remembered Jinyang, and said with a kind face: "Of course not, how can my son-in-law not look good?" ”
Li Shimin picked up Princess Jinyang and stood on a chair so that Princess Jinyang could look at the painting.
"Hehe, this is my father, and it's me in my father's arms!" When Princess Jinyang saw the content of the painting, she immediately recognized the characters in the painting. Princess Jinyang is young and can't tell the difference between the good and bad of the painting, but seeing that she and her father are so realistic in the painting, she likes it very much.
Wei Zheng couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, got up and came to the table, and when he saw the realistic father and daughter in the painting, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It is worthy of the new painting technique that makes Lord Yan ashamed, and it is so realistic." ”
Wei Zheng is a very popular minister, and he can be regarded as well-informed, and painters of various schools have also seen it, but there has never been a person whose painting skills have not been shocked in front of him.
Merton said modestly: "Lord Wei has won the award, Yan Liben Lord Yan is a master of painting for the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and Merton also admires him very much." ”
"Lingyan Pavilion?" Li Shimin and Wei Zheng looked at each other.
"Uh-uh!" Seeing the confused expressions of the two, Merton couldn't help but sigh in his heart, could it be that Lingyan Pavilion has not been built yet!
Morton wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly said: "This is an idea of Weichen, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the monarch and the minister get along, if a Lingyan Pavilion is established, the portraits of the heroes will be enshrined on the Lingyan Pavilion, to express the friendship between His Majesty and the founding heroes." ”
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng couldn't help but breathe when they heard this, for Li Shimin, this is an excellent means to buy people's hearts, and for Wei Zheng, being able to accept the worship of descendants in Lingyan Pavilion has become a good story.
Merton continued: "Second, it can inspire future generations to make contributions to my Datang, as long as it is for Datang, Datang will never forget his merits." Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures, please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar Wanhu Hou. ”
"Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis!" Wei Zheng's heart shook, and his heart was full of excitement when he recalled his days in those turbulent years.
"What a Lingyan Pavilion, what a Wanhu Hou!" Li Shimin's eyes are full of brilliance, the Tang Dynasty is the most important military merit, eager to expand the territory, if there is really a Lingyan Pavilion established, it can not only collect the hearts of heroes, but also inspire future generations to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty, isn't this the best of both worlds?
"And Lord Yan is the most famous painter in my Tang Dynasty, and I think he is the best candidate to paint portraits of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion." Merton breathed a sigh of relief, and finally cleared the hole.
Merton escaped from the Chongwen Pavilion in embarrassment, despising Li Shimin and Wei Zheng in his heart, after these two heard the plan of Lingyan Pavilion, the two did not want to delay for a moment, and immediately began to discuss with each other, and there was no time to find trouble with Merton. Merton finally got through the catastrophe.
