Chapter 294: Portrait of the Emperor

Li Xiang flashed quietly, and when Li Zong saw Li Xiang, he smiled from afar: "Li Aiqing, I said yesterday that I would ask Li Aiqing to paint a portrait of my wife, and today Li Qing can start." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Xiang was taken aback again, it turned out that the woman in the gorgeous clothes next to her, who had been silent, turned out to be the queen? I saw that she was good-looking, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, wearing a phoenix robe, and her gestures naturally revealed the state of motherhood in the world, and she secretly said in her heart: "The queen is really the queen, just this temperament is not something that ordinary women can learn." It's just that she doesn't seem to see the princess today, and maybe she has forgotten herself. ”

Historically, the empress of Lizong was called Xie Daoqing, and her grandfather Xie Shenfu once served as the prime minister, and he played a great role in the establishment of the Yang family as the queen of Song Ningzong. However, by the time of Xie Daoqing, due to the early death of his father Xie Qubo, the Xie family had already fallen. After Song Lizong ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Yang suddenly remembered that Xie Shenfu's great kindness had not been repaid, so she sent someone to take Xie Daoqing into the palace and prepare to canonize him as Empress Song Lizong. It is said that Xie Daoqing is indecent, black and ugly, and blind in one eye. However, on the way to Lin'an, Xie Daoqing suddenly fell seriously ill, his skin was covered with rashes, and all the epidermis fell off. The Xie family asked Lang Chinese medicine to treat the disease, and Xie Daoqing's blindness miraculously regained his sight.

Li Xiang thought to himself, could it be that the queen in front of him is Xie Daoqing? Or is this not Queen Xie?

Zong saw Li Xiang staring at the beauty silently, but with a smile on his face, he didn't know what he was thinking, and coughed: "Li Aiqing, Mrs. Zhaoyi County is ready, I don't know how many days it will take Li Qing to paint?" ”

"Sure enough, it's not the queen, the queen shouldn't have been canonized yet." Li Xiang thought so in his heart, and continued: "Back to the emperor, Xiaomin only needs an hour. As soon as the words came out, Li Xiang already regretted it a little, you know, to paint a good painting, especially a portrait, even the painters in the palace will take several days, and some even reach a few months, is it a little too hasty to answer for an hour just now?

Sure enough, Li Zong was taken aback when he heard this: "An hour? Li Aiqing is joking? There was a look of disbelief on her face, and Mrs. Zhaoyi was also puzzled, she had never heard that someone could complete a portrait of a person in an hour.

Li Xiang's brain flew and said: "Your Majesty, the painting method used by Xiaomin is called the memory method, and every painting of our inkjet school is painted in this way, although Xiaomin only needs an hour to record the appearance of his wife, but it will take some time to complete after he goes back, so the whole process actually takes more than ten days, but Mrs. only needs one hour is enough." ”

Li Xiang lied and didn't make a draft, and said it casually, which made people feel a little reasonable after listening to it. Sure enough, Li Zong was overjoyed when he heard this: "I also remembered that Li Qing once said that your school of painting is what you see is what you get. Since it only takes an hour, why don't you draw one for me? ”

Li Xiangxin said: "A hundred people are fine, let alone two." He didn't know that every time there was one more person, the difficulty of painting was doubled, and it took a lot of effort for the painter to paint the eyes, expressions, and every detail of the characters, but with a digital camera, it was a different story. But these thoughts can only be thought in the heart, how can they be spoken? Li Xiang said respectfully at the moment: "Back to the emperor, Xiaomin can take a group photo for the emperor and his wife, oh, Xiaomin means that the emperor and his wife can be painted in the same picture." ”

Li Zong was overjoyed and said, "This is very good, please ask Li Aiqing to start." After speaking, he sat next to Mrs. Jia. Seeing the two of them sitting motionless, like two Buddha statues, Li Xiang was amused in his heart, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the most important thing in this figure painting is nature. If the expressions, demeanor, and movements are all natural, and don't feel like you're sitting for the portrait, the effect will be better. ”

In ancient times, although there were realistic paintings, it was impossible to take pictures like photography, most of them were painted by painters according to their own experience, such as painting a person with one foot on the ground, twisting the sword trick in his hand and dancing there, if it is modern photography technology, it is naturally a matter of one second, but in ancient times, painting to pose such a shape, the person being painted will not be tired to death?

Li Zong smiled when he heard this: "In this case, if Li Qing has any suggestions, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Li Xiang said: "The emperor and his wife just need to take a walk and enjoy the flowers in this garden as usual, and the small people will watch from the sidelines, and after an hour, they will be fine." ”

Li Zong Dayue said with a smile: "Li Qing is really different, yesterday's debate conference was amazing, and today he painted for me, and the method is so unique, it is really strange." ”

Thinking of Li Xiang's various remarks yesterday, Li Zong's heart moved, and suddenly he asked again: "Li Qing, do you remember that during the palace examination, I asked you if you could resist the enemy abroad if you had enough support." Today, I bring up the old things again, I don't know how Li Qing answers? ”

Li Xiang thought to himself, yesterday at the debate meeting, he said wild words, and then talked about some incredible modern astronomical knowledge, this Song Lizong was not only angry, but even listened to it with relish, which was very different from the emperor he usually saw on TV. replied immediately: "Back to the emperor, if you want money to give money, if you want people to give people, it is naturally not too difficult to resist the enemy on the front line of Xiangyang and Sichuan, or it is not impossible to recover the entire Jiangbei." ”

Li Zong was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "What did you say? Li Aiqing might as well make her words clearer. ”

Li Xiang Zhengse said: "For the current situation of my Great Song Dynasty, Weichen naturally knows something, the reason why the Great Song Dynasty retreated to Jiangnan is not because the Jin soldiers are too brave, but because my Great Song Dynasty from the court to the common people are heavy on literature and light on martial arts." But today, the Jiangbei region is occupied by the Mongols, and it is not easy for our Great Song Dynasty to recover the lost territory at this time. Weichen naturally knows the stakes, but if he doesn't have some certainty, Xiaomin won't make a conclusion. ”

In real history, Zhao Yun of Song Lizong is the most peculiar emperor in the history of the Song Dynasty, and he is the first and last emperor who really comes from the people. From the second emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, to the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Song Dynasty has always been Zhao Guangyi. Since Song Xiaozong Zhao Tuan, the throne has returned to the line of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty. However, Song Xiaozong is the direct descendant of Zhao Defang, the second son of Song Taizu, and Song Lizong is known as the tenth grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the eldest son of Song Taizu, and is the direct descendant of Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Song Taizu. Even if Song Lizong is really a descendant of Zhao Dezhao and belongs to the same line of Zhao Kuangyin as Song Ningzong, the era has been quite old, and the two branches have been very estranged in blood.

Zhao Dezhao's descendants to the great-great-grandson generation is in such a bleak situation, and the descendants of later generations are even more depressed, and they have no respect for the descendants of the royal family at all. (To be continued.) )
