Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 40 Chapter 40

At that time, in the palace, a servant was hurrying with his head down.

The waiter's expression was very strange, with shock, doubt, disbelief, and even a little distraught.

His footsteps were fast, and he seemed to be desperate when he was driving, even if he bumped into someone, he would not stop for half a step.

Not long after, he went all the way west and came to a big courtyard.The person living here is none other than Zhao Si, the eunuch of Bingbi Eunuch, who is a celebrity around the current Holy Majesty!

After entering Zhao Si's courtyard, the servant quickly found Zhao Si, and then whispered a few words in Zhao Si's ear.

It's just that he only heard half of what he said, and Zhao Si's originally calm face was already full of shock.After rewarding the servant with 20 taels of silver, Zhao Si rushed all the way to Ganlu Hall in a hurry.

Now Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial in Ganlu Hall, and seeing Zhao Si's panicked look, he couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong? Could it be that the sky has fallen?"

"Your Majesty! It's a painting! Mr. Zuo's painting is here!"

At this time, Zhao Si seemed very anxious, regardless of whether the emperor was angry or not, he spoke incoherently right now.

"The painting is here? Come here! What's all the fuss about?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin became even more angry.Xin said, you are also a chief eunuch after all, a servant of the fifth grade, a painting is worth scaring you like this?

"No! Your Majesty! That painting. That painting is the same as the real thing!"

The more anxious he was, the more unclear Zhao Si seemed to be.

"Zuo Ming's paintings, of course, will be the same as real people! It's not like you haven't seen it before! What's all the fuss about?" Li Shimin's voice sank.

He felt that Zhao Si was very wrong today, he had never seen Zhao Si like this.

"Your Majesty, you... you should go out of the palace to have a look! That painting is really like a real person! Now the entire Chang'an City is kneeling there!"

Knowing that he couldn't explain clearly, Zhao Si could only grit his teeth and say.

Hearing that the entire city of Chang'an was kneeling in front of a painting, Li Shimin frowned immediately, but he didn't seem to care too much, he just snorted softly, "This Zuo Ming is such a bastard! Send me a piece of paper!" Painting, as for such a big fanfare?"

Li Shimin didn't know the size of the photocopied by Zuo Ming, and thought it was just a scroll that could be rolled up.He felt that Zuo Ming deliberately displayed the scroll in front of people, wanting to show off his skills, or to show the favor of the royal family to him.

It's not like he hasn't seen others use this method before, but Zuo Ming's doing so made him particularly disgusted.

So, he continued to review the memorial, but he had already decided in his heart that the house that was originally intended to be rewarded to Zuo Ming would not be given to him again.

Seeing that Li Shimin was still indifferent, Zhao Si was really anxious, "Your Majesty! You should go out and have a look! Otherwise, the entire Chang'an City will be blocked by those onlookers!"

With a "snap", Li Shimin threw the memorial in the book on the table, and then stood up angrily, "What a bastard! It's okay to ask for credit for favors, but he still disturbs the order of Chang'an City! This Zuo Ming is really getting worse and worse!" Lawless! I want to see how he ends up!"

After speaking, Li Shimin was furious and led the people to drive outside the imperial city.

After hearing this, Zhao Si knew that Lord Long Live must have misunderstood what he meant, so the corner of his mouth twitched violently, but then he followed without saying a word.

He can't control so much, as long as the goal is achieved.

The emperor's guard of honor was naturally grand, but when the emperor rode out of the imperial city on the imperial drive, he didn't meet any pedestrians.After questioning, Li Shimin found out that those people had all gone to the east of the city.

Seeing that the situation was exactly as Zhao Si said, Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy, and he immediately drove towards the east of the city on the imperial drive.

Not long after, he heard a shocking "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"!
Hearing this shout, Li Shimin's expression became even uglier.Because these people are not worshiping him, but a portrait, and his left life.

However, when he looked through the crowd and saw Zuo Ming, who was panicking and an old farmer carrying a huge portrait, his angry expression froze in an instant.

Especially when he saw the so-called "very similar" portrait in Zhao Sikou's mouth, he felt a little lost.

The first thing he saw was not himself, but the eldest grandson Wugou next to him who was like a little bird!

The eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and there are still some tears in the eyes that have not disappeared, combined with the reddish pretty face, and the flaming red lips that seem to be smiling shyly.
That is really beautiful!Even after watching it for so many years!He still feels extremely beautiful!
Zuo Ming did not brag!He really kept the most beautiful moment of Empress Changsun on paper forever!
If he hadn't just come out of the palace, he would have thought that Empress Changsun was sitting on Zuo Ming's shoulders!

He finally understood the true meaning of Zuo Ming's phrase "I have improved my painting skills"!This is no improvement, this is simply a world of difference!

In that "Hu Ke", Li Shimin could still see traces of running brushstrokes, but this painting seemed to freeze a picture directly!
Where is this painting?This is the epitome of a period of time!
Is this Zuo Ming really a ghost that fell from the sky?
Unconsciously, Li Shimin's heart began to waver.He felt that this should not be the handwriting of the world at all, it is not the method of a fairy, and it is impossible to achieve such an extreme.

Zhao Si was also dumbfounded. He had only listened to the little eunuch's description before. Although he had tried his best to think about it, he still felt a little unbelievable when he saw it with his own eyes.

He looked at the emperor next to him for a while, and then at the portrait for a while, only to feel that they were exactly the same.If there is a difference to be made, it is that the emperor in the painting seems to be bigger than the real one.
Li Shimin stayed where he was with a group of servants and the Imperial Forest Army, and Zuo Ming's life was not easy.

When had he seen such a battle?Now there are at least tens of thousands of people gathered in Dongshi. Although they are all portraits of worship, they still make him panic to the extreme.

I'm just giving away a painting, what are you doing?Why are you kneeling at me?Do you want to shorten my life?
He regretted it so much that he would have covered them with a piece of cloth when he knew he would come out.

After all, the emperor was the emperor, and after being silent for half a cup of tea, he was the first to wake up.At this time, it was not that no one in the crowd noticed the emperor. People like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji had strode towards Li Shimin's side.

Seeing this crowd of people, although the two were guarded by guards, they still struggled to move forward. Li Shimin waved his hand lightly, stopped the movement of the two, and then stepped down from the imperial court, leading a group of servants towards the crowd.

Such a large group of people came over, and the people naturally noticed it. At that time, they all looked at the portrait one after another, and then at Li Shimin, and stepped aside one after another.

Then, there was another loud voice, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"!
Raising his hand to press down, to stop the crowd, Li Shimin came to Zuo Ming emotionally, and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Good! Good! The painting is very good! I originally planned to give you a house at Yanxingmen in the east of the city! But now I have changed my mind! From now on, you will live on Zhuque Street!"

Seeing Li Shimin, Zuo Ming really almost cried, facing so many people kneeling down, he was really about to collapse.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand this feeling, but students who have performed on stage at school or somewhere should have a deep understanding.Don't say tens of thousands of people, even if it's just a few hundred people's eyes, sometimes it will make some people nervous.

Unless you are the kind of big star who has experienced many battles and has the experience of concerts with tens of thousands of people, otherwise, when so many people worship, your calves will tremble.

"Your Majesty, let's talk about the house later. Can you let someone take the painting away first? Caomin's feet are weak and he can't walk anymore!"

With a mournful face, Zuo Ming said.

Looking at Zuo Ming's trembling legs, Li Shimin was immediately happy.He thought that Zuo Mingtian was not afraid of anything, but he didn't expect to be so panicked when he was kneeled down.

After all, he is still a child!

While feeling emotional, Li Shimin naturally ordered someone to take the two paintings over, and then returned to the palace with Zuo Ming and several ministers.

Several ministers were silently sizing up Zuo Ming all the way, and his scalp felt numb when they saw him directly, and they said to themselves, "I'm not a woman, what are you old bastards looking at!"

But his heart was full of sadness, Zuo Ming dared not speak out.None of these politicians who are qualified to follow the emperor back to the palace are easy to mess with.Although he only recognized Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui, since the others could be listed with him, they must be either Dukes or Prime Ministers.

"My son-in-law! Your words are really shocking! It's as if you have directly intercepted a piece of light and shadow in this world! Later, you have to draw a picture for this old man!"

Wang Gui and Zuo Ming are the future Weng's son-in-law, so it is not polite to fight the autumn wind.

The old man spoke, and he still spoke in front of so many people, how could Zuo Ming dare to refuse?To put it bluntly, the future is still long, and the old man can have as many copies as he wants.

Li Shimin was extremely tired of hearing these words, let alone other ministers.All of them were extremely envious and jealous of Wang Gui who was looking so happy.

However, while they were envious and jealous, they all made up their minds, wondering whether they should also find a way to ask for a pair later?
The ancients valued inheritance very much, and a picture scroll like this that can be passed on for hundreds or thousands of years is undoubtedly the best carrier!The most important thing is that Zuo Ming's painting is too realistic, it looks exactly like a real person!
Tens of years of life have passed in a blink of an eye. In this world, who doesn't want to be remembered after a hundred years?
With such a portrait, even if I die, I can still live in the eyes of everyone!This is its greatest significance!
