Chapter 22: Two Thousand Years of Art

I have to say that Nero is very fond of beauty, although it is not luxurious, but the place where she is, whether it is the study or the dining room, is quite gorgeous, but when Nero looked at Lin Xiu's looking eyes, he asked a little smugly.

"Everything you see is from Yu's hands, I don't know how it compares with your eastern country?" Nero slowed down his body and walked side by side with Lin Xiu, this approach is tantamount to putting Lin Xiu on the fire to roast, and the person who can walk side by side with the king must be the same identity, which is already considered to be overstepping, but seeing Nero's expectant eyes, Lin Xiu did not deliberately fall into his position after all, seeing that Lin Xiu did not retreat, Nero nodded appreciatively.

"Truly the same magnificence." Lin Xiu sighed with emotion, the ancient Celestial Empire, even the pillars of the palace, were carved lifelikely, and even the luxury goods such as white jade and gold were never stingy, and the only few places within her range that Nero built, although the pattern seemed quite unique, it was far from magnificent.

"I didn't tell the truth." Nero chuckled, turned his eyes to the front, and indifferently gave such an evaluation, the crime of bullying the king is enough to kill the head, no emperor likes a subordinate who does not tell the truth, Nero's seemingly bland sentence is equivalent to a death sentence for Lin Xiu.

"Panic!" Lin Xiu hurriedly knelt down on one knee to plead guilty, I don't know where he showed a flaw in his Dao, or if this emperor was born a moody person, and he was okay just now, but he suddenly gave such an evaluation.

"What's the crime?" Nero looked at Lin Xiu with some surprise, she didn't think that Lin Xiu had committed any unforgivable sin, on the contrary. For Lin Xiu's statement of deliberately trying to please her. Make her feel very comfortable. I don't know what Lin Xiu is afraid of, but after a little thought, he understood, shook his head and chuckled, and actually pulled Lin Xiu's body up with one hand.

"Qing is not wrong, Yu is not a stupid person, Yu Zhilu said, any emperor's palace should be magnificent and full of dignity. Showing all the treasures of the world to the outside, in order to show the identity of the emperor, but these are in the eyes of the rest, but they are just vulgar things, no matter how much decoration is just some vulgar things, how can you feel the breath of art? Look at it, the green gem carved above is not the emerald as Qing thought, but on a whim. Using other methods to replace the above, the same can show the dignity of emeralds. Turning decay into magic, this is what Yu Zhi loves, if he turns mundane things into more vulgar, this is not interesting to Yu at all. Nero stretched out his finger and pointed to the gem carved in the shape of a lion on it, if she hadn't explained it herself, Lin Xiu's eyesight would have been indistinguishable, which showed how talented this emperor should have been in this area.

Along the way, Nero is like an artist showing off his works, explaining her every arrangement for Lin Xiu in detail, the golden sword is just a way for Nero to transform it, and even the stones on the ground are all ways that Nero came up with to make its surface more bright, after Nero's explanation, Lin Xiu was surprised to find that everything he did was all substitutes, not luxury materials, but all fakes created by him, and the fakes could be done to this extent. And in this era, it was made by process, which shows that this is a rare genius in research, I am afraid that even those counterfeit merchants in later generations will worship Nero, and what shocked Lin Xiu the most was that Nero told him the cost of these materials, which was so cheap that it was unimaginable, this emperor seemed to be very simple in this aspect, and in the same way, he did not retreat in the things he liked, and did not violate his principle of simplicity, this contradictory double standard, It's unimaginable. But she did it, and she did it perfectly, watching him explain to herself excitedly, Lin Xiu could feel the sense of accomplishment he could get in it.

"What do you think? Yu's creation, compared with these cheap fakes and those real mundane things, Qing told the truth, Yu Shuqing was not guilty. Nero looked at Lin Xiu beside him, looking forward to his answer, like a child waiting to be recognized, showing his artwork to outsiders, hoping to be recognized and appreciated by others, that burning gaze on Lin Xiu's body, Lin Xiu could personally understand how eager he was looking forward to that recognition.

"Gems are gems after all, how to carve can not change its own value, because it itself already has that noble value, and what my king has done is a miracle of art, turning decay into magic, and everything made is full of spirituality, lifelike, true and false, and the heart of the minister is admired for the creativity of my king, which is the heartfelt words of the minister."

Lin Xiu pressed his heart with one hand, in order to express that what he said was true, but no matter what kind of purpose Lin Xiu had, these words were indeed his heartfelt words, no matter what kind of black spots this emperor had in his policies, no matter how much he was cursed by later generations, no matter how many crimes he had committed, how heinous sins, however, in this regard, Lin Xiu had to admit that even in later generations, everything Nero showed proved that he was an immortal genius in this regard, this kind of bold imagination, Innovative actions, even, it is impossible to imagine how many times he failed in this process, even if Edison researched the first light bulb, he failed thousands of times, and today's Nero is only eighteen years old, what kind of concept is this, if it is placed in later generations, I am afraid it will have shocked the world long ago.

But at this moment, as an emperor, he can't share his feats with others, all his behaviors are seen as self-lowering in the eyes of others, and they are seen as desecration of the dignity of the royal family, not understood and recognized, however, Lin Xiu was surprised to find that Nero has an almost god-like attachment, believing that he will never be the first person to hear these remarks, and from her eyes, Lin Xiu can feel that she has not been truly recognized by anyone until today, But he still never gave up, and still stuck to his philosophy. Looking forward to it. Trying. Anything else, that alone is enough to give an admirable thumbs up.

"Yu is deeply happy, and can realize that what Qing Zhi said is indeed from the bottom of his heart, and Qing can know that you are the first person to identify with Yu." Nero said with some excitement, although he was still maintaining his dignity as emperor, Lin Xiu could see it from his somewhat trembling body and excited expression. He really longs to be recognized, however, all this is just because he is too advanced, he wants to break the traditional concept too much, not to take the golden mean, not to inherit the theories of his ancestors, and to open up a path that belongs to him completely, this is Nero, who died for his confidant. For the sake of pleasing herself, he did not get either of these things.

No wonder later generations will have such an evaluation. He is a self-expressor with paranoia, it is conceivable that a person has created so many things, and he thinks that he is a unique feat in the world, but he does not get any recognition, but he does not give up, he is still insisting on his ideals, looking forward to a person who can agree, slowly, this suppressed emotion will cause his subconscious crazy performance, similar to fanatical hope to be recognized.

Like many celebrities in later generations, in the eyes of ordinary people, they will never appreciate the beauty of Venus with a broken arm, nor can they understand the smile of the Mona Lisa, and they don't understand the magic of Picasso's pen, because they are too advanced and too unacceptable to mortals, so they are lonely, until after death, they are slowly understood and expanded by some people, and slowly draw sky-high prices, but these things, even decades, or even hundreds of years, can be accepted by others, and the emperor in front of him, everything he has done, Even his bold assumption, that kind of half-concealed sculpture, full of sexy art, will be regarded by the people of this era as a perverted thought, a shame, women should be conservative is what this era is pursuing, and Nero did the opposite, this kind of thinking, will really be understood, it is actually two thousand years later, in addition to an ancient Chinese Zhuge Wuhou, once boldly predicted, two thousand years later, iron birds are flying all over the sky, at that time it was also considered a lie, but facts speak louder than words, Nero was also recognized for his artistic talent after 2,000 years, an artist who had been suppressed for 2,000 years, and the kind of crazy obsession he could carry, just thinking about being accumulated in a person's body was enough to make people crazy.

It's like today's children see a cat in boots, that kind of anthropomorphism, will make children feel novel, because the social environment prompts, so that they can accept, can recognize, and yearn for, dare to be bold and innovative, bold imagination, but in this era, everything Nero did, in this environment, this rigorous and full of dignity and humility social environment, he must not be understood, maybe this is his sadness, but Lin Xiu because he came from two thousand years later, he naturally saw Picasso's side three visions, He has seen the crying Mona Lisa, the Venus with a broken arm, knows what is the beauty of the mutilation, and knows what the art of sex is called, so he can naturally understand Nero.

For this first Oriental who can understand himself and say the truth, Nero feels a well-springing happiness, this sense of recognition, his art, can finally be accepted by a person, he is excited, he is crazy, he is excited to show Lin Xiu everything about him, he wants to be recognized too much, too much to be accepted by others, just like a child who picks up a paintbrush for the first time, scribbling on white paper, adults will laugh at his naivety, but he doesn't know the way, it is this most primitive outline of human beings, Only then did the colorful world world be constructed.

Just as people now understand a truth, the first lesson given to the children by the painting teacher is graffiti, so that they can boldly imagine and sketch at will, because this is the most primitive fantasy world in their hearts, and countless inspirations start from here, but Nero does not have a teacher in this area, and there is no advanced education system in later generations, in this era full of respect and humility and feudal worldliness, his art, his literature and art, will inevitably be regarded as an object of ridicule. A kind of delusional delusion of self-obsession.

Because of the time, now must be the time for lunch, Nero walked into the restaurant with excitement, Brittany Cous was waiting there early, and with Nero walking, Lin Xiu stood side behind him, this is a knight's duty, not leaving an inch, and with Nero patting his palm, the food was brought up one by one, and the two brothers began to talk and laugh, for Nero, today is an exciting day, and it is rare to take out a glass of red wine and feast, And Brittany Ricus licked his lips and finally persuaded Nero to give him a drink, Nero finally agreed to his brother's banquet with a glass of red wine because he was too excited and happy today.

"The royal brother should take care of his body more, today the imperial brother made an exception, but only allowed to drink this cup of feast, remember." Although Nero relaxed the restraint on his younger brother, he still repeatedly emphasized his younger brother's body, and until now, Lin Xiu still felt how doting the emperor was for his brother.

Brittany nodded excitedly, and put the wine glass to his lips with slander, just like a hungry man, he finally found a water source, and greedily sucked it, this scene of Nero was a little helpless, I don't know why he was so young, he actually liked red wine, just wanted to stop his brother's cow drink, when there was a loud bang, the wine glass fell to the ground, Brittany Cus covered his throat in pain, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Brother Huang!" Nero rushed out of the body in one step, holding the body of Brittanycus, Lin Xiu frowned and looked at everything in front of him, obviously, the wine was poisonous, but for what Nero drank it but there was no problem? It couldn't have been Nero who poisoned him, if it was himself, he didn't have the time, if it was he who instructed him, he had no reason and couldn't have drunk those wines, and besides, it was impossible to predict in advance, today Nero agreed to drink his brother because he was too happy, all this was simply unpredictable, who would have thought that he would approve of Nero's art?

All these troubles added together, Lin Xiu was puzzled, Nero hugged Brittanycus's body, calling over and over again, however, Brittanycus was foaming at the mouth, obviously unable to live, Lin Xiu's eyes slowly swept to the scattered red wine, stretched out his finger and dotted it on the ground, licked and dripped at the corner of his mouth, and the warning of the card voice came from his mind, there is a chronic poison in this wine, ordinary people drink it and have no effect, but if it is epilepsy, it will die within a month, Was it all premeditated? So who will the murderer be? The figure of a woman slowly appeared in Lin Xiu's mind, and only she had the necessary reason to get rid of this heir to the throne, Agrippina. (To be continued......)
