Daxianguan

Chapter 657

On the second day, when the court meeting had just begun, some officials praised Chu Xian's fairy code, saying it was a masterpiece of the world, and some people even praised it. Distinguishing the content is like a small note, and there are more than a thousand accompanying pictures, which are not seen in previous works.

This is no longer the standard of a handed down work, but a milestone work.

"Especially Chu Wensheng's painting method is unique in the world. In my opinion, it should already be a painting skill in the realm of phantom gods." Someone praised.

Today's court meeting, Chu Xian also came. Hearing this praise, Chu Xian remained calm, because the other party was an official of the Yang family, so he was so attentive, and he might have no good intentions.

Chu Xian had already heard from Lu Wensheng about the situation of the court meeting yesterday. In fact, Chu Xian never put Gao Xianwen in high regard from the very beginning.

He is the official editor of the Holy Dynasty, and Gao Xianwen is doomed to fail because his name is not correct and his speech is not correct.

Gao Xianwen is nothing to be afraid of, but Yang Zhenqing is different, this person's methods need to be more flexible, after all, he is a great immortal who can wrestle with Xiao Yu Zhongshu, so he should not be underestimated.

Just last night, Cui Huanzhi came to him specifically, and mentioned that Secretary Xiao Yu intends to take advantage of the momentum of his own merits in compiling the fairy code this time, and plans to recommend himself to be a candidate official of the Shoufu Pavilion.

This is a great honor.

There are a total of ten backup officials of the Shoufu Pavilion, which are usually replaced every three years, and can be selected for up to ten consecutive times. If there is no further progress for more than 30 years, they can only give up their seats, which means that they will no longer be able to step into the Shoufu Pavilion. Auxiliary Pavilion.

Basic mountain, the immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion must take this step first. Although they are alternates, their power and status are far superior to ordinary officials, and they have the right to speak in the Shoufu Pavilion. Simply put, the Shoufu There are 25 immortal officials in the pavilion, plus ten alternates, these 35 immortals are the ones who really have the right to influence the fate of the holy pilgrimage.In terms of who is recommended to become the first seat of the First Immortal Shoufu Pavilion, only these 35 people have the real right to nominate.

Because of this, each of these 35 people is very important, especially for the current Yang Zhenqing and Xiao Yu.

Coincidentally, there will be a three-year replacement soon, and some of them will have to step down to replenish fresh blood. According to Chu Xian's current reputation and achievements, plus he is already a Daoist, so as long as Xiao Yu Zhongshu arranges it properly, Chu Xian will be the leader. It's very easy. In this way, Chu Xian's status will surpass Cui Huanzhi.

Regarding this, Cui Huanzhi could only be relieved. Of course he was happy that Chu Xian was better than Lan.

But in the same way, Cui Huanzhi also told Chu Xian that Yang Zhenqing could have figured out the matter of letting Chu Xian take over. After all, the two factions are already fighting each other. If Xiao Yu wants to push Chu Xian, it is impossible for Yang Zhenqing. do nothing.

As soon as the court meeting started today, Yang Xi started bragging about Chu Xian, which was simply uncharacteristic, so not only Chu Xian was cautious, but Cui Huanzhi and Xiao Yu who was sitting on the high platform also frowned.

Next, the topic gradually turned to Chu Xian's painting skills. Several painting saints in the world also spoke out, admiring Chu Xian's painting skills, and even lamented that they were not as good as they were.

In this way, Chu Xian was said to be the number one painter in the Holy Dynasty.

"It's not good." Xiao Yu calculated carefully on the stage, and he roughly guessed what Yang Zhenqing and the others were going to do. Sure enough, at this time, a servant came out and said: "When the Holy Dynasty was first established, the first generation of painting saints once Create a picture of hundreds of immortals, this is the pinnacle painting of the Holy Dynasty, and it also shows the demeanor of the three ancestors and many immortal saints in those days. , How magnificent, how magnificent. It was only because of some civil strife that year that this picture of the Hundred Immortals was damaged. After all these years, no one dared to repair it, and no one was sure of it. On the day of the establishment of the celebration, it would be great if this painting could be restored. Now there is Chu Wensheng, the immortal at the pinnacle of painting, I think Chu Wensheng can restore this painting, and only he has this ability gone."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court meeting immediately, everyone was shocked, and some people frowned and remained silent in thought.

And the first time, Cui Huanzhi couldn't help but said: "No!"

The servant seemed to have known that someone would stop him, so he was not surprised, but instead asked, "Master Cui, why not?"

Cui Huanzhi hurriedly said: "How important is the Picture of Hundred Immortals? It is a national treasure of the Holy Dynasty and a priceless treasure. It may not be able to do it, so many sages with outstanding morals in the past couldn't do it, Chu Xian, he..."

Before he finished speaking, the waiter interrupted: "Lord Cui's words are wrong, Chu Wensheng's painting skills are well known, just look at the fairy tales, it is the kind of classic that is hard to come by in a thousand years. With pictures in it, so many saints of painting are overwhelmed by it; as the saying goes, those who are capable should bear heavy burdens to help the world, even the most saints of painting have nodded, why should Master Cui stop it? Besides, this is also a good thing, Chu Wensheng As a member of Wenshengyuan, I also have the responsibility to restore the painting, can Master Cui have the heart to watch this handed down painting continue to be damaged?"

When Cui Huan heard this, he still wanted to talk, but several veteran painters over there had already come out collectively and bowed to Chu Xian.

"Chu Wensheng, the Hundred Immortals Map is very important. If it can be restored, I will be very grateful to you, and please don't refuse."

"That's right, Chu Wensheng, I have studied your painting skills, and it is true that I have some strengths. I feel inferior to myself. Don't worry, restore the painting. We can think of a way together. To be honest, in order to restore the picture of the hundred immortals, We have been thinking hard for decades, if Chu Wensheng can join this time, we will be more confident, and I ask Chu Wensheng to agree."

"Chu Wensheng, count us old guys, please, Baixiantu, we must repair it, if you don't agree, I, we won't get up."

The combined age of several painters is almost a thousand years old. Now they are starting to rely on their elders and play tricks at the super meeting. If Chu Xian refuses to agree, it will be really difficult.

No one expected this scene, and Chu Xian was also dumbfounded.However, he could tell that these saints of painting, who only had Dao in their hearts, were being used in all likelihood.

It is estimated that they were fooled by Yang Zhenqing and others behind the scenes, and they were indeed eager to repair the Hundred Immortals Map, so they begged for help for the Hundred Immortals Map.

Because according to everyone's understanding, these people are all stubborn as donkeys. If they don't pay special attention to you and feel that you are indispensable, they will definitely not ask for help on this occasion.

The current situation is that Chu Xian is set up. The few painters only know how to paint, and they don't know anything about officialdom struggles. The pure ones are like children, so they are naturally easy to be used by others.

At this moment, there are officials from the Yang family adding fuel to the flames, which is tantamount to forcing Chu Xian to take over this job.

This errand is the same as compiling the Immortal Canon. It takes effort and time to do it. Repairing it may take one or two years, and it is common in three to five years. It is really delayed for so long, and I am afraid that I have missed the candidate for the Shoufu Pavilion Official scramble.

Even if Chu Xian can still be selected three years later, the first immortal, the first seat of the Shoufu Pavilion may have fallen into the hands of Yang Zhenqing, so what's the point?
Therefore, this matter cannot be promised.

But the question is how to say no?

If you don't agree, people will say that you are not willing to contribute for self-interest, and that you are arrogant; several old painters have begged you, but you still show off, that is disrespectful to the seniors; It is a major event to contribute to the holy pilgrimage. If you refuse, you may be caught by others, saying that you have a problem, and you may not be selected as a candidate for the Shoufu Pavilion by then.

This trick is very insidious.

Cui Huanzhi gritted his teeth angrily, but he couldn't think of a way to crack it, and Xiao Yu on the stage also frowned, obviously also in a dilemma.

After all, restoring the Hundred Immortals Picture is indeed a major event, and it would be a good thing if this ancient painting could be restored.

So at this time, Xiao Yu didn't speak. After all, Chu Xian knew the situation well. It was up to Chu Xian to choose. This was the case in the officialdom. .

If Chu Xian can pass this level, he will definitely gain benefits in the future, but if he fails, in fact, it is just that he has lost a speaker in the Shoufu Pavilion.

Under the attention of everyone, Chu Xian made a decision.

"Miao Zan, a few senior painters, but Chu Xian was disrespectful when invited by several seniors, so I would like to contribute."

accepted.

That's right, it's okay if you don't agree, anyone else has to agree in this situation.

The officials on the side of the Yang family all sneered secretly. Chu Xian was forced to take over this job. Some people might think it was a great honor and a good thing. It is less than the credit for compiling the fairy code.But this matter is different from compiling the fairy code; when compiling the fairy code, Chu Xian is the chief editor, and he has the final say on everything, so he can control the overall situation. Therefore, Chu Xian has no way to control the overall situation, and with the temper and character of these old painters, they must pursue perfection and are extremely difficult to serve.

So even if Chu Xian can repair it easily and deal with errands, he will definitely not be able to pass the test of these old painters. Only a truly perfect repair can satisfy them.

But how could this be so easy?

Thousands of years have passed, how many painting saints were born in the Holy Dynasty?If there is no one hundred, there are eighty. There are so many master painters, and no one dares to repair it for so many years, and no one can repair it, which shows that this matter itself is almost impossible to do.

Coupled with the fact that these old painters strive for perfection, they have almost strict requirements, and they can't even tolerate a single flaw. Using this matter to hold Chu Xian back, it's simply not too perfect.Thinking of their pride, many officials of the Yang family wanted to laugh on the spot.
