Chapter 289: The Great Gathering of Xiangshi

"Could it be that we want to get the title of the world's number one painter?"

A new task of the Jianghu Division immediately made the prince frown.

This is what the king needs, and he went directly to the Jianghu Division.

The Tang Dynasty will not move the capital from Chang'an, but the Tang Emperor does have the idea of setting up another capital in his heart.

Some preparatory work needs to be put on the agenda in advance.

For example, to create a fixed map.

This requires the selection of the best artists to execute.

The prince couldn't help but want to seal a title like the first in the world.

He happily put forward his own idea.

"The world's first painter may not be able to draw the world's first map of the capital," Li Hongru shook his head again and again.

The prince is both civil and military, even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also involved, and he can be called a proficient little expert.

But Jianghu Division does not have the strength to select the world's first painter.

Even if you choose the strongest artist, the other party may not be able to draw the best picture of the capital.

Not all artists are the same.

There are those who are good at landscapes, there are also those who are good at portraits, and there are those who are good at painting flowers, birds, insects, fish, pavilions, carriages and horses, and even fierce beasts, gods and ghosts.

Artists have different painting skills, and it is too difficult to determine the number one in the world.

Moreover, many people have representative paintings, and it is difficult to compare them.

This is completely different from arithmetic that only needs to produce results.

"This time, let's get a title like the Holy Hand of the Painting World at most, and we can't lead the competition!"

Li Hongru analyzed it for a while, and immediately made the prince nod slightly.

Compared with the first in the world, titles such as the holy hand of the painting world are not so lofty.

This is equivalent to the title of the hero of Bingzhou and the hero of Chang'an.

This title attracts a limited number of people.

Of course, there will definitely be competition.

After all, it's the official name.

It's just that the force is not high enough, the number of participants will be small, and it will not be so cool when praising people.

"It seems that the two brothers, Yan Rang, the young craftsman, and Yan Liben, the servant of the criminal department, are particularly good at painting, so my father might as well appoint them directly," the prince muttered.

The names he mentioned made Li Hongru's heart move.

If the prince can guess it, the person who completes the task of the Jianghu Division is equivalent to having already made up his mind.

"It's not a trivial matter to decide on both at once, but Your Majesty is asking the Jianghu Division to cover up and complete the task, so as not to be suspicious and break this countermeasure behind the scenes."

was reminded by the prince, Li Hongru suddenly felt that the title of this task could not be fixed on just one person.

"Your Highness, although we can't boast a lot this time, we can praise more people this time."

Looking at the prince, who was a little depressed, Li Hongru immediately began to suggest.

This is the old routine he played in the Jianghu Division of Bingzhou, the quality is insufficient, the quantity is made up, and the scene is macroscopic, which finally attracted people from all walks of life to go into the water.

"More compliments?" The prince wondered.

"Let's lower the threshold for our title this time, but at least ten people will be selected to praise" Li Hongru suggested: "Let's also have some faint wind, these people are likely to compete for the title of painting saint when there is a mission in the future." ”

"Hey, Li Hongru, I found that your careful mind is coming out one by one, and you are worthy of being a person who has worked in the Jianghu Division!"

When the prince heard the suggestion, he immediately became happy.

Li Hongru looked at the prince's satisfied little look, and casually said his appreciation, only to feel that he was some slanderous minister, and bad ideas came out one after another.

Throughout history, few of the emperor's and prince's dog-headed military advisors have ended well.

Li Hongru only felt that it would be a little difficult for him to get out in the future.

He catered to the prince for a while before leaving the palace at noon.

"Slanderer!"

Looking at Li Hongru's figure in the distance, Tang Huang sighed slightly.

He once commented that Li Hongru was clever and cunning, and he was good at seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

If he couldn't get the true friendship of this kind of person, Tang Huang felt that if he encountered an irresistible danger, Li Hongru would definitely choose to run away after weighing it.

But this kind of person is really capable of doing practical things.

Most of the slanderers belong to the position of being able to do things but not being able to give them high authority.

As long as the line is pressed, the other party can't turn over the waves, and they can continue to work like cattle and horses.

Emperor Tang pondered for a while and decided to take the topic of 'slander' as the topic of today's dinner.

Outside the palace, Li Hongru stepped out step by step and began to return to the mansion.

The crown prince and he were called to the palace by the Tang Emperor, and the rest of the reception of the Jianghu Division was completed by Wan Wenshi.

All he had to do was wait at home.

When Li Hongru returned to the mansion, he saw Fu Renjun stopping in front with a person.

"Outside Fu Yuan, are you waiting here, do you want to marry me?"

Fu Renjun was obviously waiting here.

He made several calculations in a row, but it was Fu Renjun and others who wanted to calculate him carefully, and he noticed that he was involved in a lot of things.

If it does not involve a comprehensive opening of his privacy, it is just a slight calculation of side knocking, and it is difficult for Li Hongru to perceive it clearly.

But being blocked is not a big deal, Li Hongru suddenly opened his mouth with a smile.

"You're too difficult to pull, I don't want to count you at all" Fu Renjun shook his head again and again: "I want to know, what Your Majesty said to you later, if that title doesn't have my share, I can go back to Huazhou as soon as possible." ”

"Poor Dao also has some calculations, and he has already broken the matter of "Secret Records", so I want to come over and ask Li Lushi how to compete in the world's first reckoning thing?"

Fu Renjun's side, another person also spoke.

This person pulls a bun, wears a purple scarf, wears a gossip clothes, holds floating dust in his hand, and carries a sword, which looks a bit extraordinary.

can calculate his itinerary, this person is also extraordinary.

Li Hongru politely bowed his hand and asked for his name again.

"Poor Dao Cihang, just a tour of Fang Ye Dao."

The Taoist did not shy away from it, and directly stated his name.

His eyes sparkled.

When the other party saw it, Li Hongru's vigilance suddenly rose.

When the purple qi in his body squirmed, he saw a strange light in the other party's eyes flash away, and he stopped calculating.

"Li Lushi's marriage is really not good!" Cihangdao people laughed casually.

"If the Taoist wants to tell fortunes, he will also inform him in advance," Li Hongru said.

"Some things are said in advance, and they won't be so effective," Cihang Dao shook his head.

"Yes, yes," Fu Renjun agreed again and again: "Only when you are defenseless will you have the greatest accuracy." ”

"That's because your arithmetic level is too poor, when Yuan Shoucheng is telling fortunes, you can ask other people's ancestors for eight generations before starting to calculate, and the calculation is also accurate," Li Hongru said.

"What is Yuan Shoucheng, if he has real skills, he can still be reduced to Chang'an City to set up a stall to tell the fortunes of ordinary people."

Fu Renjun is probably really blind.

Li Hongru suddenly felt that this old way was very unreliable.

Although Yuan Shoucheng had some mistakes, he was indeed a capable person, who directly calculated the Dragon King of Jinghe, and triggered the dispute between Taoism and Confucianism, and even introduced the Shi family.

It's just that Yuan Shoucheng's miss was a bit big, and he directly pitted the Tang Emperor into it.

Li Hongru hadn't seen this veteran for a long time, but he had only met Yuan Tiangang once.

He muttered that he had to go back to the mansion to find Wan Wenshi to understand the situation, so that he could give some replies to the two of them.

Wait until you step back to the door of the mansion.

He suddenly saw a purple-robed Taoist waiting at the door.

Whoever is discussed will meet whom, Li Hongru only feels that today is a little magical.

But Yuan Shoucheng only saw a group of three people, waited for a second look, and immediately turned around and left.

"Master Yuan, don't run, are you looking for something with me?"

Li Hongru shouted, but Yuan Shoucheng didn't answer, just trotted for a while, and then ran to the alley, and there was no more than half a figure.

"Look at it, how can such a person have real skills!"

Fu Renjun snorted.

He obviously didn't think much of Yuan Shoucheng's escape.

This place is close to the imperial city, and it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is difficult for anyone to do it.

If Yuan Shoucheng behaves like this, he will inevitably be laughed at by him.
