Li Yizhi, who was in the center of the storm, was calm.

He was also the emperor back then, and he was also the founder of the country, although Yang Guang was also powerful, but this momentum could not scare him.

However, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and some good things still have to be said.

Because Yang Guang during this period was short-tempered and erratic, Li Yizhi didn't want to be targeted by Yang Guang.

Otherwise, he may not be able to break out of this palace.

So, he saluted again, pretending to be frightened, and said: "The grass people don't dare to call themselves painting saints, they are all rumors from outsiders, and I just paint well." The word 'holy' is only qualified for His Majesty. ”

"As for not entering the palace until today, it is really the grass people who live in a simple place on weekdays, and their ears do not hear what is going on outside the window, so they have the holy will, and I hope that Your Majesty will atone for their sins."

"Haha!"

Yang Guangguang laughed, and was very comforted by Li Yizhi's sycophancy.

He said loudly: "Li Yizhi, you are right, the word 'saint' is so honorable, only I can enjoy it, and others are not worthy." From now on, all those who bear the title of 'holy' must be removed, and those who violate it will be punished as treason. ”

"Your Majesty's name."

His Royal Highness's civil ministers and military generals shouted one after another.

Yang Guang snorted and said again: "Come on, prepare the four treasures of the study, as well as various pigments, and let Li Yizhi paint a portrait of me." ”

Soon, a chamberlain moved in with a desk on which were all the items of the painting.

Li Yizhi walked to the desk, glanced at Yang Guang seriously, and then slowly lowered his head and picked up the brush.

With Yang Guang's current ghost appearance, he must not be able to paint according to reality, otherwise he will be hanged by the birthday star and find himself dead.

Therefore, Li Yizhi slowly closed his eyes and began to concretize Yang Guang's appearance in his mind, and modified it, and finally got a portrait.

Yang Guang in this portrait is not only more than ten years younger, but also more majestic, heroic, exuding a mighty imperial atmosphere.

Li Yizhi's appearance, everyone and even Yang Guang didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, they had all heard of the details of Li Yizhi's paintings that day.

Just by looking at it, you can remember all the physical features and details of a person, which is terrifying.

After a long time, Li Yizhi opened his eyes, and then began to put down the pen, he moved his wrist, and the tip of the pen quickly swiped across the drawing paper, making a subtle rustling sound.

His Royal Highness's ministers stood on tiptoe one after another, wanting to watch, but the hall was too big and too far apart, and they couldn't see it clearly, so they could only give up in the end.

More than half an hour later.

Li Yizhi put down the brush and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the grass people have already painted." ”

Yang Guang rested his head on the beauty's thigh, lazily eating the fruit that was fed to his mouth.

After hearing this, he hummed, sat up lazily, and said, "Come on, let me see if Li Yizhi's paintings are as realistic as they are rumored." ”

The two attendants hurriedly stepped forward, fixed the drawing paper on the drawing board, and carried it to the front of the dragon platform.

Yang Guang stared at the portrait with burning eyes, and his face showed a look of reminiscence.

It's really Li Yizhi's portrait painted so well, the person on the painting is heroic, and the imperial majesty is mighty, so he can't help but think of himself when he first ascended the throne.

At that time, he was so ambitious and determined to be a saint of the ages, so he couldn't wait to implement the imperial examination system, dig the Grand Canal, and make three expeditions to Goryeo.

It's just a pity that he did well in the first two items, but the three expeditions to Goryeo were defeated every time, which also completely shattered his confidence, and he began to degenerate, only caring about pleasure every day, drunk and dreaming of death.

After a long time, the color of remembrance in Yang Guang's eyes receded.

Now it's late, he's old, he doesn't have much energy, he doesn't want to care about any national affairs anymore, he just wants to have fun.

"Wow, Your Majesty's portrait is so powerful and real, the concubine really can't help it, huh!"

"Oh my God, the ancient Pan An is nothing more than that, to be favored by His Majesty, it is really a blessing for the concubine's three lives."

"Your Majesty, the concubine also wants a portrait, okay!"

…………

A group of concubines gathered around Yang Guang, they looked at Yang Guang's portrait, their eyes couldn't help but shine, and immediately Yingying Yanyan got up.

Even Yang Guang, a dead ghost, can be painted so heroically and mightily, so with their appearance, wouldn't it be better to paint it even better, maybe it can be passed down through the ages.

Yang Guang's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he naturally agreed to the concubines' begging.

He looked at Li Yizhi, waved his long sleeves and said: "Come, Li Yizhi's painting, I am very satisfied, and I will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk, and at the same time he will be recruited as a court painter." ”

This Li Yizhi is a personal beauty camera, not to mention these concubines, even Yang Guang was reluctant to let him leave, so he was recruited as a court painter, and he could help them paint portraits every day.

Li Yizhi frowned, he didn't want to be a court painter, not to mention his low status, and he had to stay in the palace all day long, so he couldn't do big things at all.

But if he rashly refused, he was afraid that he would anger Yang Guang, and if he couldn't get this life, he would have to stay in the Jiangdu Palace.

Suddenly, Li Yi's heart moved, maybe this was an opportunity.

So he bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, painting is just my hobby, and the ambition of the grass people is actually to be loyal to Your Majesty and shepherd one side." During this time, the reason why the grass people did not receive the holy will was actually because they studied hard at home behind closed doors and prepared to take the imperial examination. ”

"Therefore, instead of letting the grass people be a court painter, it is better to appreciate the grass people with an official position, so that the grass people can not only serve Your Majesty, but also enter the palace at any time, so that you can paint portraits of Your Majesty and all your mothers, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Yang Guang was displeased at first, but after listening to Li Yizhi's words, he couldn't help but nodded, this is indeed the best of both worlds.

So, he looked at the two ministers led by His Royal Highness and asked, "Yu Aiqing, Pei Aiqing, you see, where is there a suitable position for Li Yizhi, it is best not to stay more than a hundred miles away from the palace." ”

Yu Aiqing is Yu Shiji, Pei Aiqing is Pei Yun, both of them are Yang Guang's favorite ministers and slanderers.

Yang Guang doesn't take care of political affairs on weekdays, and these two people handle it on their behalf.

Yu Shiji and Pei Yun glanced at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding.

Then Yu Shiji walked to the hall, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, with the talent shown by Li Yizhi, Weichen thinks that he can serve as the Taishou of Jiangdu." ”

Jiangdu is a county, and the seat of governance is in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is thirty miles south of Jiangdu Palace, which is very close.

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked shocked.

You must know that Jiangdu is a county, Jiangdu Taishou is a high-ranking official of the third grade, and Li Yizhi is just an unknown person, although the painting is relatively good, as for the talent, where did you see it?

Even Li Yizhi himself was stunned by Yu Shiji's words, and he was a high-ranking official, which he definitely had no extravagance for.

But after Yu Shiji's mention, his heart became hot.

If this was placed in a peaceful and prosperous era, it would never have happened, but now, it is not impossible.

However, Yu Shiji actually recommended himself as the Taishou of Jiangdu, I am afraid that there are other considerations.

After all, they don't have any interests with each other.

Li Yizhi's mind was spinning rapidly, he recalled the information of the original book, and soon found the answer......
