Mohist Tang
Chapter 104
"What, let me draw the portrait of meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion!" Merton looked at the uninvited Li Chengqian in shock.
Merton didn''t expect Li Shimin to act so quickly. It was only a few days later that he immediately got a heated discussion in the great court. However, these courtiers were also dignified figures. Although they knew that it was good for them, they were embarrassed to say that they wanted fame and declined one after another.
However, as soon as Merton''s poems were published, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty immediately realized the great influence of Ling Yange to inspire future generations, which can not only bring great fame to themselves, but also inspire future generations. Such a thing of the best of both worlds was accepted by important officials.
When it was determined to be the candidate for the portrait of the ministers, Yan Liben, who was unanimously elected by the people, resolutely declined, but recommended Merton as the painter.
"Of course, it''s you who wrote the poem. Now Chang''an city is the most like you, not who you are." Li Chengqian looked at you very much and hated Merton only gritting his teeth. This time he really moved a stone and hit his foot. He was cheap. He even found himself such a trouble.
You know, Lingyan Pavilion can have twenty-four heroes. It takes nearly a month to draw one a day.
"Brother Mo, don''t worry. Lingyan Pavilion has just been proposed and approved. It can be completed in at least one year. Brother Mo has enough time," said Li Chengqian.
Merton was relieved. At least there was plenty of time.
"Why don''t you take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan? Brother Mo''s poems are heroic and generous, which is really a model for men of our generation." a sissy voice tried to pretend to be heroic and careless, arched hands and hugged boxing.
"Who is this?"
Merton looked at the sissy who had been silent behind Li Chengqian. No, it was sissy at all. It had a full smell of rouge powder and deliberately pretended to be heroic.
Li Chengqian''s eyes twinkled, removed Merton''s eyes and said, "ha ha, I forgot to introduce. This is the younger brother of the palace, Li Zhi. It''s a pity that he didn''t meet brother Mo in Chongwen pavilion the day before yesterday. I''m here today."
"Xiao Wang and Li Zhi pay a visit to brother mo." Li Zhi said deliberately in a thick voice.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Merton was confused and could only go on.
"Morton, my brother usually likes Danqing very much. I heard that brother Mo Danqing is unique, so I came here for advice." Li Chengqian explained.
"Please ask brother Mo for advice!" Li Zhi took out two rice paper and handed it to Merton.
Merton picked it up and saw a portrait of Li Shimin embracing Princess Jinyang. Due to the unskilled matching between light and shade, the portrait is only three or four points similar, but it is very rare for new scholars.
As for the other one, Merton''s cartoon avatar for Li Chengqian is a vivid imitation.
Li Chengqian looked at his cartoon avatar. He was very embarrassed. He glared at Merton and said, "although my brother''s painting is mischievous, it''s also enthusiastic. You can''t help teaching!"
Merton looked at Li Chengqian and became angry. He wisely stopped teasing him. Instead, he looked at the sissy Li Zhi in front of him with a headache. It should not be said that it was Li Zhi disguised as a man. He was so close to Li Chengqian. He was two or three years younger than Li Chengqian. There was only one possibility. In front of him was Li Lizhong, Li Chengqian''s sister Changle princess.
This is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. Her status is respected. Merton found that he always provoked some people he couldn''t afford.
"Purple!" Merton shouted to the inner room.
After a long time, the girl came out in purple with hair and hair. She was possessed by the devil in order to draw violent man.
"What''s the matter, young master?" Ziyi said vaguely.
"Take Prince Li Zhi to your studio and explain the painting skills I taught you to Prince Li." Merton arranged that in order to cultivate purple clothes, Merton spared no effort to teach his painting skills. In addition, Merton really couldn''t provoke Li Shimin. If he let him know that he taught his daughter painting, he would not live tomorrow.
Ziyi was confused. Looking at Li Zhi in men''s watch and women''s clothes, she couldn''t help brightening her eyes.
"This sister is so beautiful!"
Li Lizhi immediately blushed and said in a thick voice again, "the girl is wrong. My little brother is a man."
It is estimated that this girl is the first time for a woman to dress up as a man. She has no experience at all. Anyone can tear it down at a glance, but he thinks his dress is seamless and speaks men''s words in a thick voice.
Ziyi silently patted her forehead and whispered a few times in front of Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhen quickly looked down at her large chest and touched her Adam''s apple. Her face suddenly turned red.
"Hum!" Li Lizhi glared at Li Chengqian and Merton, and proudly led Ziyi away.
"It''s none of my business?" Merton looked puzzled. He really suffered a disaster for no reason.
"Sister she is capricious. Please forgive me, brother mo." Li Chengqian said bitterly.
"Now you can give me an explanation!" privately took a princess disguised as a man to the Mo mansion. If it was spread out, Merton would be overwhelmed.
"The father wanted to fix a marriage for her sister. She didn''t want to. She was in a bad mood. She usually loved Danqing. Especially after seeing brother Mo''s paintings for her father and Jinyang, she couldn''t put it down. In order to let her relieve her depression, the palace came to the Mo house." Li Chengqian explained.
"Engagement, grandson Chong?" asked Merton.
"Brother Mo, how do you know?" Li Chengqian said in surprise! It is reasonable to say that this matter is still under discussion, and Princess Changle is still angry and has not been made public at all.
Merton said in his heart, how could I not know? I also know that your sister was very unhappy when she married her eldest son. She died at the age of 23.
This is a tragedy! Merton knew in his heart that this was a political marriage between Li Shimin and his eldest sun Wuji, and did not consider Li Lizhi''s feelings at all. Whether to save the whole elf like woman, Merton fell into the battle between heaven and man. After a long time, conscience prevailed.
"Do you feel that the blood relationship between Princess Changle and Li Lizhi is too close?" Merton asked carefully.
"I know. In terms of seniority, Chang sun Chong is my cousin. Isn''t that a kiss on the side?" said Li Chengqian with a look of indifference.
Empress Chang sun and sun Wuji are close brothers and sisters, while Li Lizhi and sun Chong are cousins. "
"Kiss more?" Merton remembered that there was such a saying in ancient times.
Merton thought about it and said carefully, "Your Highness, did you know why there are so many singles in Mojia village? Poverty is only one aspect of Mojia village. More importantly, Mojia village strictly forbids the marriage of close relatives of direct and collateral generations."
"Three lineal generations, three collateral generations!" of course, Li Chengqian knows what this means. Li Lizhi and Chang sun Chong are blood relatives of three collateral generations.
"What''s the problem?" asked Licheng in a trembling voice. He knows the situation of Mojia village. There are many singles in the village, but Mojia village, which is so eager to reproduce, strictly forbids the marriage of close relatives.
"Children born to close relatives have a high probability of mental retardation, cerebral palsy and various genetic diseases," Merton said word by word.
In later generations, there was even an extremely large and prominent royal family, which cut off men because of the marriage of close relatives, and the dynasty collapsed.
