Chapter 6: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the face of the emperor
However, he said that Liang Ji went down to the court, and he was not happy because of the victory, thinking of Li Gu's many insults to him in the court, he was angry.
This old horseman, if he hadn't been promoted by his father back then, where would he be a great minister today.
But not only did he not know how to repay the favor, but he also specifically opposed himself, and his father was still there, and he endured it.
The old thing thought that he was afraid that he would not succeed, and he had to make more and more mistakes, and he dared to accuse him in public.
Let him be so faceless.
After going back, he thought about it and still couldn't bear this breath, and remembered that before the death of Emperor Liu Zhang, he was the first to call Li Gu over and asked him to give him saliva to drink.
If I hadn't stopped it in time, I'm afraid the matter would have been revealed, but even so, I'm afraid the old thief would still be suspicious.
At that time, he had to send the imperial doctor to check, but fortunately, the queen mother helped him cover up the past.
But only that night, rumors spread in the capital, although they said that they had no evidence, they could only suspect randomly, and no one dared to question it in person.
But after all, his reputation is still not very good. If it was not deliberately spread by that old guy Li Gu, he didn't believe it even if he was killed.
Who else but him could have such a power to spread rumors throughout Kyoto overnight.
No, he has already become suspicious of himself, and today he is defeated in the court, who knows if he will be angry and take risks, and make a fuss to investigate the cause of the little ghost's death.
At that time, even if he has heavy troops, he will not be able to suppress everyone.
Thinking of this, his eyes showed a fierce light, so he simply made a first move and removed him from his position as a lieutenant, to see who dared to mess around with him.
Early in the morning of the fourth day of the new year, he hurriedly entered the palace, and now the throne is vacant, and only the queen mother can issue an order to remove the official position of the imperial lieutenant.
But his sister is a brainless, and she has been reading sage books since she was a child, so I'm afraid it's a little troublesome to persuade.
Here, Liang Ji is hollowing out his mind, moving with emotion and reason, and trying his best to lobby.
Liu Zhi was also struggling over there, and a chamberlain came to the palace yesterday afternoon, specially teaching him etiquette.
He felt that he had tried his best, but this state assistant from the Empress Dowager's palace was very dissatisfied.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, time is pressing, the enthronement ceremony will be in a few days, and His Royal Highness can't let the officials see jokes at that time."
Liu Zhixin said, I don't want to make a fool of myself, but in a day or two, let him learn a full set of complicated court etiquette, isn't it too harsh.
It's not that he doesn't want to do a good job, he really can't do it, wow, he's also very devastated.
Liu Zhi wanted to cry without tears, the more tense his muscles became, the stiffer he became, and in the end, let alone etiquette, he couldn't even do normal movements.
The whole person is like a zombie, and the state assistant is also desperate, but the queen mother gave him a death order.
At that time, if Liu Zhi's etiquette is not qualified, he will be the only one who asks, and he can't afford this crime.
In the end, Liu Zhi sat on the ground with a sluggish face, his eyes straightened, and he gave up completely.
"State servant, I think you better run for your life, I can't hide anyway, if you make a fool of yourself, you can make a fool of yourself, it's a big deal not to have this face."
This is going to break the jar and fall, Zhou Fu can't cry or laugh, can he run away? It's child's talk.
However, he also began to deeply reflect on whether his teaching methods were not suitable for Liu Zhi.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please rest for a while, and let the slaves and maids think of a way."
Liu Zhi thought of his favorite comics on weekdays, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "If there were pictures and texts, it might be much easier." ”
Zhou Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, why didn't he think of it, if he wanted to do it, he immediately sent a painter over, and it was done in minutes.
immediately smiled, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, the slave maid will immediately send a painter over, how to paint, His Royal Highness will tell him personally." ”
"Yes, you can hurry up."
Liu Zhi waved his hand happily, although he was just a mascot, even if it was a vase, at least the surface should be bright enough.
After a while, a tall and thin painter rushed over, "Painter Mao Jian, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Surname Mao? Liu Zhi couldn't help but think of Mao Yanshou, who painted a portrait of Wang Zhaojun in the story, so he couldn't help asking.
"The Mao Yanshou who painted Wang Zhaojun when Emperor Yuan painted him, is it your ancestor?"
Mao Jian's face stiffened, "No, the contemptible surname is Mao, Mao is suddenly opened, and the family has been a palace painter for generations." ”
Oh, it turns out that this Mao is not the other Mao, Zhou Fu thought that Liu Zhi was worried that his painting skills would not be good, so he was busy introducing it on the side.
"When the Queen Mother first entered the court, her father Mao Tong painted a portrait of her, and once said that the Queen Mother was sun-horned and glaive, which was unspeakably expensive, and then it was fulfilled."
Yo, in addition to the portrait, this will also meet, it's just ...... Liu Zhi humbly asked for advice, "What is the sun and the moon?" ”
Zhou Fu was stunned, he never imagined that as a member of the Liu clan, there were still people who didn't know this allusion.
Thinking of Liu Zhi's life experience again, he couldn't help but understand it and patiently explained, "It is that the forehead is bulging in the middle like the sun and the sky, and the two eyebrows are like a half-moon bending, which is an extremely noble appearance." ”
Liu Zhi tried hard to recall the Empress Dowager Liang in his impression, but he didn't realize that the two eyebrows were like half a moon was true.
nodded, looked at Mao Jian curiously, and said, "Why don't you show me too?" ”
Mao Jian was speechless for a moment, you are already His Royal Highness the Prince, or you will be the son of a man in a few days, who dares to say that you have a bad face?
He pretended to take a closer look at it, and replied cautiously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full of heaven, the earth pavilion is round, the dragon eyes and phoenix eyes, and the ears are beads, which is the appearance of the emperor." ”
Liu Zhi, who was still a little looking forward to it, immediately felt bored when he finished speaking, and waved his hand weakly.
"That's it, let's gossip, let's draw a picture first."
When it came to his profession, Mao Jian's whole person's spirit was immediately different, he neatly spread out the paper and pen, turned his head and asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has?" ”
"There is no need to draw in too much detail, just draw the steps of the enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven in order, the actions should be clear and standardized, and you don't have to worry about the appearance of clothes and accessories."
This Mao Jian heard the prince's summons, and was secretly happy in his heart, he was originally relieved to show his genius and want to be in the limelight.
As a result, I didn't expect that the requirements were so simple, and it was completely overkill.
But he didn't dare to say this, but he was depressed and wanted to die, and according to Zhou Fu's description, he painted it one by one.
This Mao Jian is worthy of being the chief painting officer of the court, and the image is vivid and realistic, because there is no need for detailed depiction, so the speed is very fast, and the whole set of paintings is completed in half an hour.
Liu Zhi counted them, and there were twenty-eight paintings.
"Well, yes, thank you."
Mao Jian immediately was sincerely afraid, "This is the duty of the minister, and I dare not say thank you." ”
But he secretly complained in his heart, His Royal Highness the Prince, you have some benefits, what's the use of just saying thank you.
He didn't know that Liu Zhi didn't understand these at all, and even if he did, he couldn't take it out of his hand when he lived in the inn, so he could only pretend to be stupid.
Mao Jian was helpless, so she had to leave sullenly.
Where did Liu Zhi pay attention to his mood, his mind was full of how to remember these actions earlier.
According to his idea, he also marked the key points of the action on the painting, but unfortunately he couldn't recognize the small seal, and it was useless to write, so he had to give up.
With the comparison of drawings, Liu Zhi really made rapid progress, and at night, he was already able to barely cope, although the movements were not enough to stretch the atmosphere, at least they were so-so.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be too tired, just review it tomorrow."
Seeing that Liu Zhi was yawning, Zhou Fu seemed to be very impatient, and he didn't dare to push him too hard.
Zhou Fu is a servant of Changle Palace, and he has won the trust of Empress Dowager Liang, and Liu Zhi's accession to the throne is irrevocable, so he naturally wants to have a good relationship with him.
"The state is too hard."
This time, he rewarded some silver coins very sensibly, not much, at least a heart.
At night, he still held his sleepy eyes and marked the drawings with a charcoal strip wrapped in a cloth towel.
was about to go to bed, but Pavilion Chief Sun Huai came over with a solemn face, it's so late, could it be that he is still addicted to chess?
But his face was heavy.
"Today, Captain Li was dismissed."
