The housekeeper at the side was taken aback by what his master said, who is this boy in white?Lu Guogong and Yi Guogong asked him to call him uncle, but his master was so polite and called him Xiaolangjun...

The butler already felt that his brain was not enough, but he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly invited Li Wangyou and Qiu Kun to the table.

Datang banquets were divided into meals. Immediately after Zhang Liang spoke, a servant set up a table for the two of them and brought them drinks and food.

Li Wangyou and Qiu Kun were also confused, but they didn't dare to make a sound, they could only obediently drag off their boots, and went up to the front of the hall to sit cross-legged.

Li Shimin frowned and stretched out his hand to call Cheng Yaojin over: "Zhijie, why did you bring this kid here?"

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I happened to meet at the gate of Zhang Liang's house, and this Li Ziyou came to deliver paintings to Zhang Liang. Hehe, it has nothing to do with me. By the way, Your Majesty, this kid has no idea What happened that day, it seems that I really drank too much that day."

"Noisy!" Li Er stared.

Cheng Yaojin chuckled and didn't say much, and took Qin Qiong to drink and watch a good show by himself.

"Li... What painting did you give me, kid? Show it to me."

Li Erchong shouted at Li Wangyou, almost blurted out Li Wangyou's name, but changed his words in time.

Seeing that Zhang Liang had no objection, Li Wangyou quickly took out the scroll from the golden nanmu box, and together with Qiu Kun slowly unfolded the scroll, presenting it in front of everyone.

When the realistic sketch version of "The Picture of Luoshen" came out, everyone was shocked!

060 If you don't blow it, you will die

"The Picture of Luoshen" unfolded, and everyone in the main hall of Zhang Liang's mansion couldn't help but gasp after seeing the contents of the painting clearly.

Even Cheng Yaojin exclaimed: "Hey, who is this? Why is it sealed in the picture scroll?"

"Uncle Cheng, this is Luoshen." Li Wangyou said with a smile.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other civil servants immediately gathered around and carefully studied this first realistic sketch in human history.

Through the contrast of light and shade, a strong sense of three-dimensionality is produced, and at the same time, the principle of perspective is used to draw a realistic sketch, which is unprecedented in this era.

"It's really possible to have such a lifelike painting. How did you draw it?"

"It's a strange painting, this brushwork. Yan Shaojian, can you recognize this painting?" Changsun Wuji asked a 27-year-old young man.

The one who was questioned by him was Yan Liben, a painter of the early Tang Dynasty.In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Li Erzhi's famous painting "Picture of 24 Heroes in Lingyan Pavilion" was awarded, and his work "Picture of Walking Chariot" is even more famous painting handed down from generation to generation.

At this time, Yan Liben served as the general and the young prisoner. He was best at portraits, and his images were lifelike and lifelike. People at the time praised him as "Danqing Myth".

Compared with Li Wangyou's sketch "The Picture of Luoshen", Yan Liben's portraits are more charming, but they are far inferior in terms of realism.

At this moment, Yan Liben was already stunned by this painting of "Luo Shen", and stared at the painting in front of him in a daze, without saying a word.

Changsun Wuji called him several times before he came back to his senses.

"Shangsun Shangshu, I've never heard of this picture before. It's truly a shocking work! I don't even know how this picture was drawn. It's really a miracle!"

Yan Liben turned his attention to Li Wangyou and Qiu Kun: "You two gentlemen, who painted this painting?"

Qiu Kun blinked and looked at Li Wangyou, he didn't know how to answer this question.Li Wangyou replied without hesitation: "This picture has been collected by the Qiu family for generations. It's a long time ago. I don't know who made it."

He was lying without even blinking his eyelids, and Qiu Kun quickly lowered his head when he heard that, for fear that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I still don't know who did it, but you clearly drew it in front of my father's concubine Ji in my house for three days.

Fortunately, Qiu Kun is not a fool, so naturally he won't show any clues.

Li Wangyou's words really fooled a lot of people, the civil servants and military generals present only looked at the yellowed and discolored scroll, and said that the picture has gone through years to become like this.

On the other hand, after Yan Liben carefully looked at "The Picture of Luoshen" again and again, although he didn't say anything, he looked at Li Wangyou with playfulness in his eyes.

Everyone was scrutinizing the "Picture of the Goddess of Luo" carefully, and exclaiming to each other, but a voice came from outside the crowd.

"Huh, this picture is nothing more than mediocrity. The so-called text conveys Tao, and there is Tao in the painting, but there is no Tao in the technique of this picture. If there is Tao but no art, although things are formed in the heart, they are not formed in the hands. In vain It has a shape, but no spirit! Painting is precious, so what is the resemblance in spirit?"

This is quite blunt, and it means that this "Luo Shen Tu" is only in appearance, but it has no charm.

Li Wangyou was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up to see the bearded young man who was playing chess with him before.He didn't know that it was Li Er and Li Shimin who spoke.

Li Er is an emperor through the ages, but sometimes he likes to be competitive like a child.

There once was a Hu merchant from the Western Regions who was good at playing the pipa and composed a very gorgeous and complex piece of music.

Li Er actually specially arranged for the court musicians to eavesdrop and study behind the curtain. After Hu Shang played, Li Er pretended to be relaxed and said that there was nothing unusual about this piece, and his court musicians would too.Then the court musicians who had been secretly learned before were called out to play, to prove that the music is not unusual.

So Li Er is actually quite naive sometimes, which makes people dumbfounded.

At this moment, Li Er was the kind of big boy who had a fit of competitiveness. Originally, Li Wangyou was not pleasing to the eye, but now seeing that everyone praised the paintings he brought, he was even more upset.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Li Er's criticism of "The Picture of Luoshen".

After all, the essence of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting is the way of painting. A good work must have elegant artistic conception, endless mystery, endless aftertaste, and never tire of seeing it. It is also a work of charm.

However, Li Wangyou's sketch "Luo Shen Tu" mainly excels in realism and novel techniques. The two painting methods are different, and they cannot be generalized.

Important ministers like Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling knew about Li Er's little problem, so they laughed without saying a word, and even a fool like Cheng Yaojin drank in a muffled voice and refused to agree with him.

But as soon as Li Erjin opened his mouth, many people who were praising "The Picture of Luoshen" just now changed their words immediately.

"That's right, this painting has neither verve nor spirit, it's really unbearable."

"Of course, I just felt that this picture is really weird, the brushwork is sluggish, and the essence of the brush and ink is completely missing."

"What Cui Gong said is very true. The so-called combination of form and spirit, simple and elegant, natural and pure is a masterpiece, let's not talk about this picture."

These words pissed off Li Wangyou to death. Are these people in Temeow chameleons?This face-changing speed is comparable to that of Sichuan opera.

Especially that bastard bearded man, who are you so jealous of?

Fortunately, Li Wangyou was still a little sober, knowing that the people in the main hall of Zhang Liang's mansion were all the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he just slandered in his heart but didn't say it out loud.

He didn't even know that the bearded man he called a jerk was Li Shimin, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

After being scolded by everyone in the hall, Li Wangyou's face darkened, and when he was about to put away the scroll, he heard Li Er speak unhurriedly again.

"However, this picture is not useless. This completely realistic technique is indeed suitable for portraits of people. It is so vivid and rare. It is a pity that the technique created by the predecessors has not been handed down to this day. It is a great pity."

Li Er's words froze the faces of the grassroots noble ministers who had echoed him just now, and felt that they had signs of schizophrenia.

Your Majesty, can you finish speaking in one breath without panting?

I was still praising this picture before, but I finally had the cheek to follow you to belittle "The Picture of Luoshen", and now you have changed your words?You have no jokes?Where is the trust between people?

so tired!
