Chapter 2: The Nine Kings Xiao Qi
After that, the emperor took the smallest wolf brush from the pen stand, dipped it in ink left and right, and slowly wrote Li Shangyin's "Night Rain Sending North" on the painting.
At this moment, it is the spring of the second year of Jiahe, and the country is safe and secure, and there are many talents.
Emperor Taizu was strict with the law and reprimanded literature, and from time to time some literati and scholars were sent to prison, and some were beheaded, so that the people were panicked and abandoned their pens and followed Rong.
Some of the remaining poems are conservative and restrained, and the painters speculate on their intentions, and their painting style is monotonous and blindly pleased.
Culture and art are far from being as full of schools of thought as the Two Song Dynasty, or even more backward, and the people's thoughts are restrained and their desires are suppressed.
It was not until the first emperor imitated his predecessors to set up the Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy Institute that he could be regarded as a success.
Emperor Jiahe was exposed to all kinds of poems and songs, celebrity paintings since he was a child, and when he was still a prince, he traveled all over the world, visited famous teachers everywhere, and later worshiped the old gentleman of the Wumen painting school under the humble penance, and naturally emphasized calligraphy and painting; After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, with the goal of restoring the prosperity of the two Song Dynasty painting academies, he gathered famous people from all over the world into the palace and awarded civil official positions.
Lou Ying successfully entered the palace in the year of the emperor's accession to the throne, and was awarded the title of scholar of Hanlin University, and taught the prince and princess to paint on weekdays.
A few years ago, he resigned and returned to his hometown Suzhou on the grounds of physical discomfort, and has been retired for more than four years.
At the beginning of the year, Mr. Yulin was proud of his pine picture in the city, and he had the elegant style of Mr. Lou, and he knew that he was out of Wumen when he inquired.
The emperor respected the teacher, and when he learned that the teacher had accepted a new apprentice, he was naturally very interested. After writing a poem, he put pen to paper and rolled up his cuffs.
He took the Longjing handed by Fu'an, opened the teacup and blew it, but he didn't drink it, closed the lid again with a click, and said in a calm voice: "I have asked the teacher about this Mr. Yulin, and I heard that he is now in Hangzhou. Spread the message to the West Factory, I want to meet this famous Mr. Yu Lin for a while. ”
Fu'an hurriedly stepped forward to take the teacup and said, "Order, the slave will arrange it." ”
The emperor waved and motioned for him to go quickly, looked up at the people on the side, and saw that the man in the dark robe was thinking and frowning, staring at the scroll stunned, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't I give you this painting?" I look at the tightness you seem to like. ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and chuckled: "If the imperial brother is a gift to the courtier, it is excellent, this painting reminds the minister of an old man, and he can't help but express his nostalgia." ”
The emperor understood, lifted the scroll and pouted and blew on the two lines of poetry, and when his fingers touched the ink marks, he got up and handed the painting to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch immediately informed, came over and rolled it up and handed it to the man and said, "Nine princes, you take it." ”
That's right, this person is the brother of today's Holy Mother's compatriots, Xiao Qi, the king of Kangping, who has made great achievements, and is known as the Nine Princes.
Xiao Qi took the scroll from Shanruliu, held it in one hand and raised it a little and said: "Then the courtier brother is disrespectful, thank the emperor for the reward." ”
The emperor waved his hand, pinched the corners of the dragon robe with both hands, and sat back at the table meticulously, "No need to thank me. I didn't paint this painting, I just stamped it and mentioned it. He set up the inkstone and asked, "When this Mr. Yulin comes, will you meet with me for a while?" ”
