I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

"Very good, very good!"

Li Er laughed and stepped forward, moved closer to Yan Lide's side, and said,

"Let me see."

All the ministers also gathered together, and they also had some expectations.

Although the emperor is the protagonist, our brothers also have credit for it!The locust-cutting escort also contributed a lot!
"Your Majesty, please see."

Yan Lide put down the brush and said proudly,

"Although it was drawn impromptu, and my skill is much less familiar, but this "Picture of Cutting Locusts" is still the best one I have ever painted in my life!"

Li Shimin took a closer look.

In the locust rain all over the sky, the hero riding a horse and holding a sword, isn't he himself?
Especially that face, it seems to be a bit more handsome than the real self!
"That's right, it's not unfamiliar, it has drawn my posture exactly."

He praised, then suddenly pointed to the phantoms on the painting, frowned slightly and said,
"But I am not fighting alone. Military generals such as Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin all fought bravely to kill the locusts, while Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other civil servants also did their best to kill the locusts."

"They are also heroes, and their figures should also be preserved in the painting and be praised by the world."

"Why don't you see them in your paintings?"

Yan Lide was startled.

"Yes!"

Yuchi Gong was immediately dissatisfied and said,

"I killed so many locusts, no credit but hard work!"

"Don't tell me that this shadow that can't even see the outline of the face is me, Yu Chigong, right? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?!"

Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji also looked unfriendly.

After working hard for a long time, his record was even better than Li Er, but in the end he became a shadow?

No one is happy to change this!

"In this picture, His Majesty is a well-deserved protagonist, but with us as a foil, the stars and the moon, I'm afraid it will be more real and more structured, and it can also set off His Majesty even more."

Changsun Wuji curled his lips, saying neither yin nor yang,
"On the contrary, it highlights His Majesty, which seems a bit tragic. Is there no one in my Tang Dynasty to fight side by side with His Majesty?"

"Yan Shilang, I know you want to portray His Majesty, but you have to be realistic..."

The cold sweat dripped down Yan Lide's face.

At this moment, his intestines are full of regrets!
It was originally intended to flatter the emperor, but now not only did the emperor not agree, but he also offended a group of big bosses!
This makes him how to mess around in the court in the future!

When he was terrified, he had no choice but to turn his eyes to Xu Fenglei for help, hoping that Bu Zun would help him to say something and smooth things over.

However, Xu Fenglei just smiled and said nothing.

Flattering is an art.

This time pat the horse on the leg, right?

Little Yanzi, your bowl of water is still shallow, take it as a lesson this time, and improve your memory!

"Painting today is a matter of recording. Since it is a record, what we want is the truth, and we must not resort to falsification!"

Li Shimin stepped forward to take off the painting, handed it to Yan Lide, and said calmly,
"Yan Shilang, this one is invalid."

"Draw one more down-to-earth, and draw according to the truth! How about it?"

Yan Lide: "!!!",

"Yes Yes!"

He took the painting with both hands, and said with great shame,

"It's the minister who thinks he's smart. The minister is guilty. The minister must correct his attitude and draw a new one!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, then turned to look at Yan Liben.

"Liben."

he laughed,
"Transferred from the Ministry of Punishment to the Ministry of Industry, are you still used to it?"

He was naturally familiar with Yan Liben.

At the beginning, this kid served as Ku Zhi in Tiance Mansion, so he was considered as his confidant.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many bigwigs in the court, how could he be the second-in-command servant in the Six Departments.

"Return to Your Majesty, all habits, the minister is like a fish in water in the Ministry of Industry."

Yan Liben said respectfully,

"Many ideas of Buzun have made Weichen applaud! Weichen especially loves planning and drawing drawings."

Xu Fenglei nodded and smiled:
"It's true. This kid is obsessed with design. He often stays in the Ministry of Industry for several days, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat."

"Every time he came to me, he always brought a large stack of design drawings. His drawings are exquisite and will be of great help to start construction."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly, showing approval.

"It's so good. It seems that letting you work in the Ministry of Industry is making the best use of everything."

he said,

"Don't slack off, I may have important tasks to deliver in the future."

"Abiding by the order." Yan Liben said respectfully with a calm expression, "Your Majesty, please take a look at this clumsy work."

Li Shimin looked up.

But he saw that the painting in front of Yan Liben was also himself.

It's just different from Zhan Locust's unrestrained spirit, this time, the expression on his face is very difficult.

Because, he is doing an action - swallowing locusts!
Yan Liben's handling of facial expressions was particularly exquisite, with just a few strokes, he outlined his difficult but firm expression!
In addition, the details are also full. On his right hand, he raised three fingers, making an oath.

Thinking about it for a while, isn't that the same as the mental journey just now?
Although it is difficult, painful, and unwilling, but... without hesitation, I swear and swear, and swallow it in one gulp!
"Okay, well done!"

Li Shimin sincerely praised,
"Liben, a painting is a rigid and fixed thing, but you grasped me very accurately! Rare, rare..."

Instead, he looked at the part again.

However, Changsun Wuji, Yu Chigong and other close officials were also portrayed particularly plumply. When the emperor swallowed locusts, one of them had panicked faces, another was worried, one was anxious, and the other stepped forward to stop them!
Every minister didn't use much ink, and even their limbs and torso were not drawn very much, only the outline could be seen.

But everyone's expressions are outlined!

In particular, Yu Chigong raised his hands and impatience to step forward to stop the emperor's move, which was also depicted by Yan Liben.

The emperor is determined to take risks for the people!

The ministers are worried about His Majesty and try their best to dissuade him!

Everyone has done their part, everyone has their shining points, and there is something worth appreciating!
"Tsk! This is a good painting, a good painting!"

Yuchi Gong clapped his hands and praised,

"I was like this at the time. Seeing that His Majesty was going to swallow locusts alive, I was so anxious! I wish I could grab them and swallow them myself!"

"Yan Liben, you did a good job! Much better than your brother!"

Compared with Yan Lide's one, this one has a sense of presence in itself, it's almost the best supporting actor, not bad!
"It is indeed a good painting. The monarch is suitable, and it is very vivid. It portrays our expressions in the emergency situation, and also makes His Majesty more firm. Although everyone stopped him, he still resolutely resolutely for the sake of the people and the common people. swallow the locusts!"

Fang Xuanling also praised,

"As expected of you, Liben, when you were in Tiance Mansion, you were the one with the most superb painting skills."

"Now it has reached a higher level. To be able to draw such a masterpiece in such a short period of time is to be called a famous artist in the world!"
