"Don't move, my lord. Be majestic! ”

"Right...... That's it. King, look at your eyes with a sense of not being angry and arrogant......"

Zhen Jiang, who was painting, saw the restless appearance of Qingji on the throne, and was angry and funny, and couldn't help but say coquettishly.

"Ahem!"

Qingji coughed lightly, and then continued to correct his posture, posing with a majestic posture, and his whole body was filled with a kind of kingly air!

The spirit of the king!

Seriously, when getting along with his concubines, Qingji will not restrain himself too much, and he must put on a posture of not being angry and arrogant.

However, Zhen Jiang is painting, and this portrait of Qingji is likely to be passed on to future generations.

You can't be sloppy!

After a long time, Zhen Jiang finally nodded, stretched out his slender jade hand, and signaled that Qing Ji could move around freely.

Then Zhen Jiang began to take a brush by himself, embellishing and outlining on the silk paper.

Based on memory alone, Zhen Jiang has to imagine out of thin air and draw the general appearance of Qingji, and it is basically impossible to make it vivid.

Therefore, this requires Qingji not to move around and act as her "model".

In ancient times, there were no cameras, so it was necessary to preserve the appearance of the emperor so that future generations could see it, and it could be passed on to future generations through paintings.

Yan Liben, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, has "Portraits of Emperors of the Past Dynasties", which has been passed down to future generations.

It's a pity that the descendants of later generations are not angry and fall into the hands of Fanbang Waiyi......

However, Yan Liben's "Portraits of Emperors of the Past Dynasties" is not a "photo album", but is made entirely by imagination and the actions of some emperors.

The portrait of Qingji is different.

"King, take a look, how about this portrait of the concubine?"

After completing his work, Zhenjiang handed the silk painting to Qingji.

Qingji took his portrait, glanced at it, and said with a slight bow: "Not bad, not bad." It's just that, Zhen'er, don't you think that the widow in this portrait is too powerful? The widow's face isn't that big, is it? ”

Qingji is a little skeptical about life.

His appearance is undoubted.

As the royal family of Wu State, Qingji's appearance and body shape are impeccable, and he is a proper old fresh meat.

But the Qingji on this portrait of Zhenjiang has broad ears, a strong body, and looks fat, and this beard is not ordinarily long, which can be called a beautiful hair......

The appearance is quite clear, and it can be recognized as Qingji.

It's just that this appearance is not much different from the real Qingji......

"Cluck, cluck."

Zhen Jiang let out a crisp laugh like a silver bell, covered his mouth and chuckled: "King, this is a beautiful appearance, such a king looks majestic and has the air of an emperor!" ”

Hearing this, Qingji touched his short beard and said intriguingly: "Could it be that a widow is like this, and he doesn't have the air of an emperor?" ”

"The king does have the air of an emperor, but under the pen of the concubine, this painting shows the spirit of the king even more!"

Zhen Jiang is all for the sake of celebrating.

Realistic?

Photo?

No, no, no.

Zhenjiang's ability to paint is unquestionable.

Her Qingji painting style is neat, the iron line is dignified and powerful, the color is thick and the use of blending method.

outlines a heroic and upright, domineering emperor!

Queen Ji Qi, who was on the side, glanced at the portrait, and said with a smile: "King, the concubine looks very good." ”

"The king does not lack the spirit of a king, but on this portrait, the king's spirit of the king must be put on paper!"

"Good."

Qingji nodded in agreement.

Zhenjiang does not use "Spring and Autumn brushwork", but it can also reflect Qingji's true appearance, and it only sets off Qingji's imperial spirit.

"Sister Zhenjiang ......"

Nanzi immediately pulled Zhen Jiang aside and muttered, "Sister, can you draw some beautiful pictures for my sister and the king?" ”

"Meitu?"

Zhen Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Sister Nanzi, didn't I paint a portrait of you?" ”

"It's different, it's not the same."

Nanzi leaned into Zhen Jiang's ear and muttered for a while.

When Zhen Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but take a sip, and his face was dyed with a touch of red, like the glow of the sky.

Zhen Jiang stomped his feet and said in annoyance: "Sister, don't you think this is too shameful?" ”

"Shame? No, no, no. ”

Nanzi's aunt smiled, grabbed Zhen Jiang's soft and boneless jade hand, and said, "Sister, this is the joy of the boudoir." ”

"If the king is not around, you and I can refer to it so that we can ......"

"Don't say it. Shame on you! ”

Zhen Jiang still had a look of resistance, and the roots of his ears were already red to soft.

Regarding the relationship between Nanzi and Zhenjiang, Qingji knows it well.

Lala, just lala.

As long as you don't cuckold Qingji, whatever they do!

It is acceptable for women to celebrate taboos.

Draw that kind of "beautiful picture"?

Not bad.

However, it cannot be passed on to future generations......

Otherwise, it may be a shame to celebrate the taboo!

Qingji took the portrait in his hand and looked at it carefully, and had a bold idea in his heart.

What's the idea?

Qingji plans to spread his portrait widely.

Every county must have a portrait of Qingji to brainwash it......

Good!

It's just that the painting of this portrait is very ingenious, and it is not something that ordinary people can paint.

This is not the future generation, without printing, even if Qingji wants to promote his portrait and deify himself, I am afraid it will not work.

Typography!

Right!

Typography!

Qingji finally remembered that printing could be invented at this time!

……

There were four major inventions in ancient China, namely: gunpowder, printing, the compass and papermaking.

Among them, papermaking and printing are widely used in the folk and are conducive to the spread of culture.

Printing is characterized by convenience, flexibility, time-saving and labor-saving, which is a major breakthrough in ancient printing.

Before the invention of printing, ninety percent of Westerners were illiterate, and there were many illiterates among the aristocracy.

Because books in the Middle Ages were so expensive, a Bible was made from a thousand lambskins.

With the exception of the Tome of the Bible, the information copied in the books is serious, mostly religious in content, and there is little entertainment or practical information for everyday use.

Before the invention of printing, culture was mainly transmitted by hand-copied books.

Hand-copying is time-consuming, troublesome, and easy to copy mistakes and omissions, which not only hinders the development of culture, but also brings undue losses to the spread of culture.

Seals and stone carvings provided direct empirical inspiration for printing, and the method of using paper to ink on stone tablets directly pointed out the direction for engraving printing.

Seals, in fact, are a kind of prototype of stamping printing.

The inscriptions of this era are all engraved in anti-script, and there is a difference between yin and yang.

Before the advent of paper, official documents or letters were written on slips.

After writing, tie it with a rope, put sticky mud at the ligation place to seal the knot, and cover the seal on the mud, which is called a mud seal.

Clay sealing is printing on clay, which is a means of secrecy......
