Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to dedicate his painting to His Majesty, Tang Bohu's face also showed a smile.

This is a great affirmation for him.

So he bowed down and said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Although it may seem like a simple thing, it is not that simple. Tang Bohu, who has been in the officialdom for several years, already has some experience.

His Majesty was very unhappy about his own affairs back then, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kept him, so His Majesty's perception of himself was not necessarily very good.

In the past few years, the prince has also taken care of himself. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to show his face in front of His Majesty.

After all, after returning from the northwest, his errand has not been arranged, and it is obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to reuse himself.

Since you want to reuse yourself, your majesty's side must nod, and you have to make your majesty have a good impression of yourself. This painting is a stepping stone given to His Majesty by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Looking at Tang Bohu, Zhu Houzhao nodded.

Zhu Houzhao is still very satisfied with Tang Bohu's progress and performance in recent years, so he is willing to support him.

At this time, the wine and food were also arranged, Zhu Houzhao accompanied Tang Bohu for a meal, and when he left, he also brought him ten jars of good wine and asked people to send them to the house.

In two lives, Tang Bohu has not escaped a single wine. It's just that the previous life is different from this one.

In the previous life, there were always dead people in Tang Bohu's family, and his life was down, and drinking alcohol was nothing more than drinking to kill his sorrows. But this life is different, although there are still dead people in the family, but his wife and children are still there, which can be regarded as a reward for him.

In fact, it was Zhu Houzhao who took good care of Tang Bohu's children.

When people are alive, Tang Bohu's mood is much better, and he has an enterprising spirit, so he is not so worried, and drinks more to be happy. So Zhu Houzhao didn't restrict him, and this time he came back and specially prepared some good wine for him.

So Tang Bohu left happily with wine.

After sending Tang Bohu away, Zhu Hou took a look at the crown princess who came over, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

"The concubine heard that Tang Bohu sent a painting to His Royal Highness the Prince, so she wanted to come and have a look." The crown princess said with a smile: "The poems and paintings of the famous Biansai genius are rare to see, and the concubines also want to see them." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao also smiled.

This is something he didn't expect, Tang Bohu's talent is indeed not to say. Although he changed his course this time and sent him to Biansai in the northwest, he did not live up to his lifelong talent and skills, and wrote poems and paintings in Biansai, breaking into the reputation of a famous Biansai talent.

At this time, Tang Bohu can be said to have a very big reputation among Shilin, and the name of the talented man is even greater. Many people compare him with the poets of the Tang Dynasty, which is something Zhu Houzhao did not expect.

But that's a good thing. So Zhu Houzhao said: "Here, take a look." ”

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao handed the scroll in his hand to the crown princess, and then helped the princess unfold the painting.

After looking at this painting, the crown princess was distracted for a long time, and only after a long time did she speak: "It is really a generous stroke, a masterpiece of a master, and a treasure of the world." ”

As she spoke, the crown princess raised her head and looked at Zhu Houzhao, with a pleading look on her face and eyes.

The appearance of the crown princess, Zhu Houzhao is the first time to see it.

The two have been married for so long, and Zhu Houzhao has a lot of treasures here, but the crown princess is not very interested in these things, whether it is pearls and jade, gold and silver money, she doesn't care very much.

As for the famous calligraphy and calligraphy and painting, although the princess has a collection, she is not very attentive, after all, there is Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Shanghe map in the palace.

But after seeing Tang Bohu's painting this time, the crown princess was really moved.

The reason for this is that Zhu Houzhao also knows that she doesn't like those famous paintings, nor does she dislike them. It's just that it's not good for her to do this as the crown princess, after all, those things are treasures in the palace, and it's not her turn to collect and play with them now.

But this painting in front of me is different. This painting is so well done, in the words of the crown princess, it will definitely become a treasure in the future.

The most important thing is that this painting was given by Tang Bohu to His Royal Highness the Prince, although Tang Bohu is also very famous, but this painting is different from those paintings that have been handed down, after all, it was painted by people now, and the value is not so high.

And this painting came to Zhu Houzhao's hand for the first time, and there was no problem for her to receive it.

Zhu Houzhao naturally saw the princess's thoughts, but he still said with a smile: "This painting can't be given to you, I will send this painting to my father later, and use it to change Tang Bohu's future." ”

The reason why this painting is suitable is because he paints the scenery of the Ming Dynasty, and it also shows Tang Bohu's political achievements in the Biansai for so many years, so this painting is the most suitable.

It is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to give it to the crown princess, this is delaying the business.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, the crown princess said with some hesitation: "But is it because of the fraud in the science field back then? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Although this matter is not big, and it has been so long, I am afraid that some people will bring it up." At that time, I am afraid that my father will think more, so this painting is to buy a future for Tang Bohu. ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, the expression on the princess's face also retracted, and she helped Zhu Houzhao to help her body and said, "It's Concubine Meng Lang, please forgive Your Highness." ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand indifferently, reached out and grabbed the princess's hand, and said with a smile: "What is this?" It's nothing more than a painting. It's the palace that was negligent and didn't take care of the princess's little hobby. But it doesn't matter, go back to the palace to find it, and find that map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for you. ”

A thousand miles of rivers and mountains?

The reputation of this painting is really too great, and the crown princess has naturally heard of it.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, the crown princess hurriedly waved her hand and said: "This is unacceptable, if His Royal Highness is really found by a concubine to bring this painting, the outside world may not say anything about the concubine." ”

"Mind them," Zhu Houzhao said indifferently: "If you like to keep it, it's a big deal, let's not tell anyone." ”

Zhu Houzhao came to the side of the crown princess, lowered his voice and said, "When the time comes, we will stay in the boudoir, and take it out when we want to see it." ”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, the crown princess couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "The concubine knows that His Royal Highness loves the concubine, but don't do it, it really doesn't have a good impact if it is spread out." It doesn't matter if the concubine is herself, but it's not good if it affects His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"What's that?" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "This palace is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty and the prince of the country, what's the big deal about getting a painting?" After turning back and drawing it, the palace will find another place to stamp it, and it will be stamped with the seal of your crown princess. ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao really planned to do this.

If this thing can be passed on to future generations, with the bonus of this matter, it will inevitably become a good story.

The crown prince doted on the crown princess, found the painting, and stamped it with the seal of the crown princess. With this story and this process, the painting must have become famous.

Just like the emperor who liked to stamp in later generations, the seals he stamped were all real paintings, and people also liked to mention poems.

Although I don't have this hobby, it's not a big deal to do it.

The crown princess was very sweet in her heart, but she felt that it was very inappropriate to do so.

But before she could continue to say anything, Zhu Houzhao reached out to stop her, and then said: "It's not early in the morning, I'd better go to the Qianqing Palace, while my father hasn't returned to my mother." ”

Although Zhu Houzhao was talking about the right thing, the crown princess always felt weird, but she still hurriedly bowed down and said, "The concubine will wait for the prince to come back." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then asked Liu Jin to hold the painting, and the two of them left Xianyang Palace one after the other and went straight to Kunning Palace.

When Zhu Houzhao arrived at Kunning Palace, it was still brightly lit and busy, which means that Dad was still here.

After walking into Kunning Palace, Zhu Houzhao saw his busy father.

Zhu Youzhu naturally knew that his son was coming, raised his head and glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and then asked, "Aren't you drinking with people in the palace, why are you still free to come here?" ”

Tang Bohu's entry into the palace, obviously my father already knew. So Zhu Houzhao said: "It is precisely because of this matter. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and took the painting that Liu Jin was holding, and then said: "Tang Bohu presented a painting, and his son brought it to his father to see." ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youzhang's face was not happy, but he said with a calm face: "As an emperor, you must not miss your official duties because of your personal preferences. Even if you like poetry and paintings, don't be discouraged by playthings, and don't learn from Song Huizong. Poetry, calligraphy and painting are just a trail, and you must not indulge in it. ”

In addition, although it is common for the emperor to accept the gifts of his courtiers, he must not give them privately, otherwise the world's fortunate people will inevitably search for the treasures of the world and dedicate them to the emperor. What is the result of such a result, you should know. ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Houzhao's heart suddenly calmed down.

Although this matter was not done, Dad's thoughts and statements still infected Zhu Houzhao.

After learning about this, my father's first thought was this, such a king always thinks about things from the perspective of his family, country and world, which is rare.

Zhu Houzhao bowed down and said, "Erchen understands, thank Father for the Emperor's teachings. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded with satisfaction, although his son has many shortcomings, such as being domineering, such as liking to be simple and rude in doing things, and treating his courtiers more harshly.

But he also has many advantages, such as his ability to accept other people's opinions with an open mind, and his clear distinction between public and private.

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction when he saw his father, and said: "You might as well take a look at this painting first, if all the officials in the world can present such a painting in the future, Erchen will be very happy." ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Zhu Youzhang's interest was also adjusted, so he said with a smile: "Looking at the appearance of your baby, it should be a good thing." Let's take a look. ”

At the same time, he also smiled and walked down the steps, ready to see the painting that his son had brought.

Zhu Houzhao, with Liu Jin's cooperation, gently unfolded this very long painting scroll.

A complete picture was presented in front of Zhu Youjiao.

Like Zhu Houzhao, who saw this painting for the first time, Zhu Youzhang's face was full of shock.

From the beginning to the end, and from the end to the head again, Zhu Youjiao's face was full of shock.

Raising his head to look at his son, Zhu Youzhu said with appreciation in his tone: "This painting is comparable to a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, majestic and magnificent, and the painting is exquisite, showing the artist's big mind and grandeur. It's so drawn! ”

Saying that, Zhu Youzhu took a look at the payment, and he knew why his son said so.

Because Tang Yin, Tang Bohu is written below, which means that this painting was painted by Tang Bohu.

The son said that he would be very happy if the courtiers sent such paintings, and Zhu Youzhu also understood the meaning of this sentence. This is the courtier's own drawing!

So Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Yes, Father." Zhu Houzhao hurriedly agreed, and then said: "In the past few years, Tang Bohu has traveled all over the northwestern provinces and seen all the border stoppers of the Ming Dynasty. It's been almost a full decade since he went to Biansai. This painting of his contains his mind, and he has done a good job in various places, and he has a lot of credit. ”

After Erchen received this painting, Erchen thought of the Ming Dynasty's side plug in recent years. When Erchen went to the northwest for the first time, the fire sieve was in the buckle at that time, and the northwest was defeated, and the imperial court was unable to deal with a fire sieve. It's embarrassing to think about it now. ”

After Erchen arrived in the northwest, he fought a battle with 5,000 men, and although Erchen won that battle, Erchen's heart was not very happy. How sad is it to deal with a fire screen and ask your sons to lead the troops in person? ”

"Look at it now, who dares to detain the border pass of Daming? Even if someone makes a rebellion, just send a general and destroy it, which is really incomparable. Looking at Tang Bohu's painting, Erchen also had a lot of feelings. Look at the city he painted, with cars and horses flowing and crowds of people. ”

"To be able to see such a grand scene in the northwest shows that the northwest of my Ming Dynasty is vertically stable and the people live a prosperous life. Although Song has a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, what is the situation in Song? The border is restless, the mountains and rivers are sick, how can I compare with my Ming Dynasty? Therefore, Erchen felt that this painting was better than a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youzhang's face also emitted a red light, and he felt a lot for a while.

He naturally came from this incident, before his son grew up, the deduction of the border has never stopped, and over the years, there have been a lot of times when Daming has suffered losses, how can it be so worry-free now?

After listening to his son's words, Zhu Youzhu looked at the painting in front of him again, and naturally felt different.

He was suddenly extremely proud in his heart, and said loudly: "What the emperor said is right, I have a beautiful scenery of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be compared?" ”
