I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 336 The Emperor Swallowed Locusts, His Officials Wept, and the People Kowtowed!Shocking picture!

Swish.

Yan Lide picked up the brush and ink, and painted freely on the drawing board.

On that painting, locusts were all over the sky, ferociously gnawing on the grains, and even biting the face of the farmer!
The eyes of the peasants are either angry, frightened, or desperate!

But in the very center of the painting, there is a close-up of a person!
I saw him wearing a bright yellow robe, a purple gold crown on his head, and a horse with iron hooves galloping under his crotch!
That person is Li Shimin!

In the painting, Li Shimin looked resolute and stern. With a vigorous wave of the sword in his hand, he swept down a large piece of locusts and cut them into two pieces!

"Yan Shilang has good painting skills, and he fully displayed His Majesty's heroic appearance!"

The Jinwu Guard Zhonglang behind him couldn't help but praise,
"Good, good!"

"Your Majesty will definitely like this painting!"

He clapped his hands and couldn't think of too many compliments, so he could only say "that's great" from the bottom of his heart.

"It's ridiculous."

Yan Lide stroked his beard and smiled lightly,

"I haven't painted for a long time, and my skills are a lot rusty."

"I still have to fix it, fix it..."

Having said that, his eyes revealed a look of joy and anticipation.

He couldn't wait for His Majesty to taste his paintings.

"Brother, why did you only draw the common people and His Majesty, but left out all the accompanying ministers?"

Yan Liben stroked his chin and said,
"They have also made great efforts, especially the military generals, whose records are much better than His Majesty's."

"The way you draw it seems that His Majesty is the only one bravely beheading the locusts. Is there something wrong?"

Yan Lide twirled his beard when he heard the words, and smiled slightly.

"Little brother, you don't know that."

he laughed,
"No matter how brilliant this subject is, they must not overshadow His Majesty's brilliance!"

"Brother, this painting may be publicized in the world in the future, and the person to be publicized is naturally our wise and powerful emperor, His Majesty the Emperor, who is self-sacrificing for the people!"

"As for the others, it's just a foil. It doesn't matter if they exist or not."

"Here, look—"

As he said that, Yan Lide added a few random strokes on the painting, showing a few phantoms whose faces could not be seen clearly, just like the shadow of Li Shimin, guarding the left and right, killing locusts together!
"Isn't that done?"

He smiled complacently, turned to look at Yan Liben's drawing board, frowned and said,

"Little brother, why haven't you started drawing yet?"

"Your Majesty has returned in triumph, don't you want to hand over the painting for nothing?"

"I'm not talking about you because of my brother. This opportunity is very precious! How many people want to paint without this kind of background! We also have the honor of the young master, so we have this qualification. Don't slack off!"

"Draw quickly! Your painting skills are still better than mine. This time, maybe you, Yan Liben, will become famous in the capital and even in the world!"

Faced with his elder brother's earnest persuasion, Yan Liben shook his head.

"Your Majesty kills locusts. Elder brother has already painted it. What's the point of my younger brother painting again? Even if the painting is better, it is still taking credit from my family."

He said seriously,

"I don't want to compete with my elder brother for merit. If there is a chance to be famous in the world, it's better for my elder brother to earn it first!"

Yan Lide was slightly taken aback, his eyes showed emotion, and there was also a bit of sincere admiration.

"Your realm and strength of character, my brother really can't keep up."

He bowed slightly,
"If you make a move, you will definitely be inferior to my brother."

"Little brother, thank you for this."

After finishing speaking, Yan Lide saluted.

In this regard, Yan Liben just waved his hand, answered a few words casually, and immediately put all his attention on Li Shimin.

Actually.

He felt that the picture of cutting locusts was too ordinary, and since his brother had already painted it, he was of course too lazy to bother.

At this moment, Yan Liben wanted to capture more "beautiful" pictures with his own eyes!

At this moment, Li Shimin's expression was extremely compassionate.

"This locust, even if I have exhausted all my strength, I can't kill it, I can't kill it!"

Looking at the countless people kneeling on the ground, he said in a trembling voice,
"I can only watch them harm our crops, and watch them go away!"

"I can't do anything, I'm helpless, I... lost to this little locust! Lost to this damned locust!"

After speaking, Li Er's eyes were already red.

His eye sockets turned red, and all the ministers' eye sockets became hot, and among the common people, some even sobbed softly...

"Locusts, locusts!"

Li Shimin pinched the struggling locust in his hands, as if pinching the neck of a mortal enemy, and said with gritted teeth,

"Why are you so hateful, why do you want to eat the people's crops!"

"If it's really because I have no way, and you are sent from heaven to punish me, then you will come for me!"

"The people live on grain, and live on the grain! Don't harm the people anymore. If you have a soul, eat my heart and lungs and punish me!"

"bring it on!"

After the words fell, Li Shimin made a move that no one could have imagined!
He actually stuffed that huge, throbbing locust into his mouth!

"His Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded and exclaimed,
"No! Stop it, stop it!"

Yu Chigong's eyes widened even more, and after a moment of sluggishness, he rushed forward and grabbed Li Shimin's arm, shouting:

"Your Majesty, you must not do such a foolish thing!"

"The locust is poisonous, it is poisonous! How can you swallow it alive?!"

"Quick, stop!"

boom!
"Get off!"

Li Shimin swung his arm violently, pushing Yuchi Gong away!

"I originally wanted this locust to harm me, not to harm the people anymore! If it poisoned me and stopped harming the crops, so what if I was poisoned to death?!"

He ordered,

"Don't persuade me any more! I've made up my mind!"

As he said that, he squeezed the lively locust hard and sent it into his mouth.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, why are you here, why are you here!"

"Woooooooo..."

The minds of several ministers are about to collapse!

The hot tears that were suffocated just now have flowed down uncontrollably...

Brother, I know that you want to establish the image of an eternal king, but you are trying too hard!
There's no need to risk your own life, right? !
If something really goes wrong, this Jiangshan Sheji...how can I get it? !

"Long live please don't harm yourself!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The common people had never seen such a battle, and they were all at a loss at the moment, while persuading Li Shimin not to do anything, while kowtowing like garlic!

Outside the gate of Chang'an City.

The emperor swallowed locusts!

The ministers burst into tears!

People kowtow!

Yan Lide was dumbfounded by this scene!
"This this……"

he murmured.

The scene in front of him was so shocking that he couldn't describe it in words!
But Yan Liben beside him had a bright light in his eyes!

"Good picture!"

Yan Lide trembled all over, two words popped out of his mouth, and he picked up his pen suddenly!
