Chapter 109: Attacked on the way home after winning the championship
For this victory, Li Nan pondered for a long time, and finally remembered a shocking painting art in later generations.
Among the various genres of painting, the most nuanced are the hyper-realistic paintings that can be compared to high-definition photographs, but if there is one that can give people the most realistic feeling, it must be three-dimensional paintings.
Therefore, what Li Nan created was a three-dimensional version of the concubine's bathing picture.
On the scroll, Yang Yuhuan, a beautiful Tang Dynasty concubine with black hair, sits half-sitting in a jade-paved pool and bathes, revealing her upper body covered with light veils, which is half-covered and half-hidden, but more attractive.
Limited by the lack of painting tools, Li Nan can only use wolf hair and black ink, but he still uses flowing curves, undulating rhythms, delicate and amorous brushstrokes to depict the peerless posture of one of the four beauties.
In later generations, some masters of three-dimensional painting often painted three-dimensional cracks and deep grooves on the streets, and even if onlookers knew that it was a painting, few people dared to step on it, which shows the realism of these works.
Spanning hundreds of years in the world, three-dimensional paintings appeared for the first time in the Northern Song Dynasty, looking at Yang Guifei, who seemed to be about to stand up from the paper, it is no wonder that everyone present was stunned.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Ji finally recovered his mind, walked to the front of the scroll, stretched out his hand and touched Yang Yuhuan, who was like a real person, and stroked the wet ink on his fingertips before confirming that this was indeed a painting.
After half a ring, everyone came back to their senses one after another, and the hall was filled with a huge chatter about this never-before-seen, extremely real and unbelievable painting.
Many people like Zhao Ji touched the scroll to confirm the authenticity of the painting, and when he saw a good peerless painting, it had been destroyed by countless pairs of paws, Zhao Ji couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
When everyone calmed down, the outcome of this game was self-evident, and even Zhao Tingzhi couldn't say anything.
Zhao Ji came to Li Nan and announced in a loud voice with great excitement: "The talented Li Nan, whose painting skills are unparalleled, I have appointed him as the edict of the Hanlin Painting Academy, and he will be given a three-grade red robe and a goldfish bag!" ”
Yang Jian, the eunuch who followed Zhao Ji's side, came to Li Nan with his clothes in both hands, and several little eunuchs helped Li Nan take off his white robe, quickly changed him into a purple official uniform, and tied a goldfish bag representing his identity around his waist.
Li Nan, who has undergone intensive cultivation, is tall and strong, just a natural clothes rack, and he is even more handsome after wearing this purple and luxurious official robe.
Zhao Ji likes to appreciate all kinds of beautiful things such as handsome men and beautiful women, and at this time, looking at Li Nan, who is both talented and talented, he smiled with satisfaction: "I personally promised that the final winner can make a request at will." Li Nan, since you have won, let's talk about it. ”
Li Nan looked around at the many courtiers on the side, and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask the official family, is there a limit to this request?"
"Hahaha!" Zhao Ji laughed loudly and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, I have a golden mouth, you can just mention what you want!" ”
With Zhao Ji's words, Li Nan suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and was about to ask for an official position in the south, but saw Cai Jing shaking his head slightly at him with a serious face, and pointed at Zhao Tingzhi very secretly.
Noticing Cai Jing's warning move, Li Nan couldn't help but hesitate.
In the end, Cai Jing is worried that after he gets an official position, he will not give him the remaining 50,000 yuan to buy an official, or is he afraid that he will waste this precious opportunity?
Li Nan has read the "History of the Song Dynasty", so he has some understanding of Zhao Ji's character, this talented and intelligent Emperor Huizong, who does not like to build a stable political order, prefers to use political skills to solve problems.
Zhao Ji ruled the Song Dynasty when a total of twelve prime ministers, including Cai Jing had four revolts, this emperor's personality is obviously a strong tailwind, when he encounters difficulties, he prefers to make some concessions rather than fight.
Therefore, if Li Nan makes a request, and the ministers oppose it together, Zhao Ji is likely to break his promise.
After thinking about it, Li Nan gave a deep salute and said to Zhao Ji respectfully: "The promise of the official family is too precious, I don't know what to do in a hurry, I beg to give Weichen some time to consider." ”
Li Nan's idea is human nature, Zhao Ji immediately smiled and said: "Okay, then you can think about it slowly, and I will allow you to mention it later." ”
Today, Zhao Ji saw Li Nan's unseen novel paintings, and he was very excited, and after waving off the ministers, he hurriedly ordered someone to set up a banquet in the back dormitory, and wanted to drink with Li Nan to discuss painting skills.
When the wine was drunk in the evening, Zhao Ji, who was already seven or eight points drunk, said to Li Nan: "Li Nan, can you paint the special painting skills you showed in the last scene?" ”
Li Nanying said: "This kind of three-dimensional painting should have been painted on the wall, and a variety of colors of paint can be used, so that it can reach the level of being fake. ”
"Good!" Zhao Ji stroked his palms and laughed, spitting out wine and said, "I have a small wish, I wonder if you can help me fulfill it?" ”
"If the monarch is worried, the minister will be humiliated, what is the wish of the official family, although it is said, the minister will do his best!"
Zhao Ji smiled and said: "I have always liked beautiful women, but those beauties recorded in the books have not had the opportunity to see them, and I regret it in my heart, so I want you to paint a picture of a hundred beautiful women in the dormitory of Yanfu Palace, where I live." ”
This order was very much in line with the temperament of Song Huizong, the merry emperor, although Li Nan was unwilling to do coolies for him, but he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be happy to agree.
Zhao Ji casually summoned the eunuch Yang Jian and ordered him to fetch Li Nan a token that could enter and exit the palace, and asked him to assist Li Nan in completing the drawing of the Baimei map.
The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty did whatever he wanted, but Li Nan, who accompanied the king like a tiger, did not dare to drink more, and the banquet lasted until the time of Hai, and there was a sleepy Zhao Ji, which made Li Nan leave.
After walking out of the Hanlin Painting Academy, Li Nan breathed a long sigh of relief, after all, facing Zhao Ji, who controlled the rights of a country, the pressure it brought to him was really not small.
Outside the gate, Zhang Hao and the eight guards were still waiting, and after Li Nan got on the horse, the group that was already tired drove towards Qingfeng Tower.
When everyone came to West Street, they suddenly found that the black smoke in front of them was directly visible, and many people exclaimed, and the hidden fire soldiers of Tokyo City went to the rescue with buckets and ladders.
The city of Tokyo, where millions of people live, is mostly made of wood, and fires are really common, seeing that the road ahead is blocked, Li Nan turned his horse's head and turned to Yiqiao Street next to him, intending to bypass.
The horsemen had just reached the halfway point of this side street, and suddenly saw the gate of the Gui'er Temple open, and several black carriages rushed out of it.
A fire broke out on the carriage in an instant, and a large number of soldiers poured out of the doors of the households on both sides of the street, and these people quickly raised their bows and crossbows without saying a word, and shot a dense rain of arrows at Li Nan and the others.
Li Nan, who knew that he was in ambush, hurriedly took out the tip of the throat gun and stabbed it fiercely on the horse's buttocks, and the horse under his crotch suddenly screamed and rushed forward.
