Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

"stop!"

"do not move!"

Li Shimin shouted suddenly.

Eunuch Gao was taken aback, not knowing what was going on.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Eunuch Gao thought he had done something wrong, and was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

"do not move!"

Li Shimin held up a small box and aimed it at himself, with a head protruding from the middle, which looked very scary.

"Emperor, slave"

Eunuch Gao was really frightened and trembled.

This thing looks like a hidden weapon.

Could it be that I did something wrong, the emperor wants to kill people and clean up the family?
Eunuch Gao was thinking wildly.

Click!

With a crisp sound, Li Shimin put down the small box, and a piece of paper slowly flowed out of the box.

This is Su Yu's camera, which Li Shimin stole from the laboratory.

Picking up the photo he just took, Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Well, I'm still very smart, I can tell at a glance."

Li Shimin watched Su Yu teach Xue Ji in Sujiazhuang, and he listened beside him. Now that he took the first photo, he felt that the effect was good.

Eunuch Gao was taken aback and asked, "Your Majesty, my slave."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "It's nothing."

Eunuch Gao was taken aback. It turned out that he brought a new gadget from Sujiazhuang back to the palace.

"Here, let me show you your picture."

Li Shimin smiled proudly.

Eunuch Gao thought it was a portrait, but Li Shimin said it was a photo, which he had never heard of.

"Your Majesty, what is a photo?"

Eunuch Gao asked.

This question made Li Shimin even more proud.

When he was in Sujiazhuang, Li Shimin seemed uneducated and didn't understand anything.

But when he returned to the palace, Li Shimin could pretend to be arrogant.

"The photo is the portrait drawn by this camera, take a look."

Li Shimin half understood, and gave the photo to Eunuch Gao.

I took the photo and looked at it carefully under the candle.

Eunuch Gao was surprised: "Ah, the emperor actually drew the appearance of the old slave in an instant, amazing."

It was the first time Eunuch Gao saw a photo, and he was very shocked by such a real thing.

Li Shimin said proudly: "With this camera, painters like Yan Liben will be spared."

Li Shimin was very happy.

"It's amazing, even the old slave's hair is drawn."

Eunuch Gao was surprised.

"Okay, keep it, I reward you."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Oh, my servant, thank the emperor."

Eunuch Gao quickly thanked him.

Morning the next day.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and all the ministers in the hall stood.

Eunuch Gao shouted: "The emperor has a decree. If there is something to do, he will play it, and if there is nothing to do, he will leave the court."

Li Shimin looked at the minister below, and there seemed to be a hint of eagerness on his face.

"My dear friends, do you have any important military affairs to discuss?"

Li Shimin glanced at the officials.

Cheng Yaojin was below, seeing Li Shimin's unusual smile.

"Shubao, I, Old Cheng, dare to bet that the emperor has something to do today."

Cheng Yaojin whispered to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong knew that Cheng Yaojin had sharp eyes and could see very accurately.

He looked carefully at Li Shimin's expression, and it was indeed different.

"Well, it's better for us not to talk."

Qin Qiong said.

The court was very quiet, and after a while, Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, opened his mouth to pay homage: "Qizou the emperor, the reservoirs in the Guanzhong area are full of water, and the spring plowing has been done."

"It depends on the emperor's wise decision"

Liu Zhenghui praised him for a while.

Li Shimin listened on the stage, not saying he was happy or unhappy, anyway, he was flattering routinely.

After listening to Liu Zhenghui's flattery, Li Shimin asked, "Is there anything else?"

Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out to worship: "Your Majesty, Du Xingmin, the governor of Yizhou, asks the imperial court to send five thousand Shenji Battalion."

When Li Shimin heard about Yizhou, he quickly waved his hands to tell Li Jing not to speak.

Li Jing quickly stopped talking.

"Is there anything else?"

Li Shimin asked.

The ministers shook their heads.

Seeing that nothing happened, Li Shimin said, "Last time I drew portraits of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. After thinking about it, I still didn't draw well enough."

Yan Liben was in the court hall, and he was dissatisfied when he heard Li Shimin say that he did not draw well enough.

Everyone said his painting skills were good, but Li Shimin actually said he was not good.

Except for Su Yu's paintings which are worse than him in Tang Dynasty, the others are far inferior.

"Your Majesty, the portrait of Lingyan Pavilion is quite old."

"If the emperor feels that the ink is faded, I can paint again."

"It's just that the emperor said that the painting was not good enough. I think that there is no one in Tang Dynasty who can draw better than Weichen."

Yan Liben came out to worship.

After hearing Yan Liben's words, the ministers of the DPRK and China agreed with his statement.

In the Tang Dynasty, no one can match painting in terms of painting.

Su Yu definitely disdained to paint for these ministers, so the best painter he could hire was Yan Liben.

Seeing that Yan Liben had accosted him, Li Shimin was pleased with himself, but his face showed embarrassment.

"What Yan Aiqing said is reasonable, even if those paintings are not good enough, it will be difficult for me to find better ones."

"My dear friends, I want a painting that looks exactly like a real person, what can you do?"

Li Shimin asked in embarrassment.

The ministers of the DPRK and China were discussing in a buzzing voice.

"A painting exactly like a real person?"

"That is to say, to be vivid."

"But Yan Liben's paintings are already very vivid."

"Is there anything more vivid than Yan Liben's paintings?"

"That's only the paintings of Prince Su, his paintings are vivid."

"No, although Prince Su's paintings are vivid, they are not exactly the same as real people."

The ministers of the DPRK and China felt that what Li Shimin said was difficult to do.

Secretary Supervisor Yu Shinan asked Yan Liben, and said, "Master Yan, can you draw the painting that the emperor said is exactly like a real person?"

Yu Shinan asked the question, and the others followed him.

Yan Liben stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Qizou the emperor, I know what kind of painting the emperor wants."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Oh? I don't know what Yan Aiqing said?"

Yan Liben bowed: "Please Rong Weichen call the servants at home and paint on the spot."

"Weichen guarantees that the painting will be exactly like a real person."

The ministers were very surprised when they heard that Yan Liben really had this ability.

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Okay, let's play."

Yan Liben immediately troubled the guards outside to send a letter home.

After a while, the young servant of the family entered the court hall carrying things.

Yan Liben bowed: "Please give me a table from the emperor."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Come here, give Yan Aiqing a table."

Two eunuchs moved a table out.

Yan Liben took out rice paper, then brushes and inks, and then paints of various colors.

"Dare to ask the emperor, which minister do you want me to draw?"

Yan Liben asked.

Li Shimin thought for a while, pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Just draw Cheng Mangfu."

Cheng Yaojin sits at home, and the disaster comes from the sky.

Unexpectedly, I stood cautiously and was called by Li Shimin.

"Lu Guogong, stand up."

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

Cheng Yaojin felt the danger, but he couldn't refuse it.

He was called by Li Shimin above the court, but he dared not come out.

Cheng Yaojin walked out with a smile, and said: "My minister obeys the order."

Yan Liben said: "Mr. Lu, please stand still."

Cheng Yaojin stood in the middle, settled his posture, and remained motionless.

Yan Liben took a brush and stared at Cheng Yaojin for a long time before starting to paint.
