Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

His Majesty Li Er's curse was a circumvention. In order to refute it, Li Yuanying read it twice, reading more and more angry, and wrote a reply letter on the spot. First of all, the internship will be decided tomorrow morning. If there is anything to say goodbye, it is not not to go back!

Then Li Yuanying began to talk about his creative philosophy, saying that since it was to commend the heroes, how could the portraits not show the meritorious service? How could this make others feel convincing at a glance, thinking that there would be no New Datang without them? Therefore, he firmly believes that he is not wrong. If you don't believe in the emperor brother, you should call other people to ask if this is the case!

Anyway, Ren Lao Li agrees very much!

His Majesty Li Er can scold Li Yuanying brightly, but Li Yuanying can’t blatantly scold him back. He can only implicitly say whether you have not slept well recently, have not slept well recently, are you confused, bad-tempered, and want to scold people when you see the sky. It is recommended Sleep well, government affairs are endless, and there is another after one is busy. We must take good care of our bodies and live to be a hundred years old.

Of course, Li Yuanying admitted this implicit reply. After reading it, Chengyang and the others felt that they would still not reply directly. Li Yuanying said plausibly: "Don't be afraid, I am caring about the health of the emperor! He scolded me so much, and I still care about him so much. I call it morality to repay grievances!"

Others felt unable to persuade them, so they refused to persuade them, and Li Yuanying gave the letter to the guard responsible for sending the letter.

The next day, as soon as the city gate opened, the guards rushed back to Chang'an without stopping. So his Majesty Li Er just came to the morning when he saw Li Yuanying's reply. His Majesty Li Er reprimanded Li Yuanying in the letter yesterday, and he felt much more relaxed. Hearing that Li Yuanying had replied to the letter, he asked someone to take it up for a look.

After reading the letter, His Majesty Li Er's face turned black. This kid has changed the law to say that his brain is not working well!

His Majesty Li Er is not happy, and others don't want to be happy. He called Yan Liben and asked Yan Liben to look at the portraits of the twenty-four heroes he had gathered yesterday. After reading them, he came back to talk about his impressions.

Yan Liben was injured at work, but it was not serious, and he was well after a few days of recuperation. However, since His Majesty Li Er had asked Li Yuanying to paint, Yan Liben was also happy to get rid of this mission and let him go. Listening to His Majesty Li Er said that the portraits are complete, but his face is not so good, Yan Liben's heart jumped and he hurriedly followed others to see the portraits.

After reading it, Yan Liben was also silent.

If Li Yuanying draws exactly the same, then the painter will surely stand up and down, and anyone can see at a glance who is high and who is low. However, Li Yuanying's painting is full of aura, even if his skill is not enough, others will be attracted by it at first glance.

I have to say that one painting and calligraphy is what God appreciates and eats. If you have three points of talent, you can draw a decent picture even if you practice hard for seven points; if you have nine points of talent, you can overshadow it with any learning. Others go!

Yan Liben thinks that his talent is not bad, otherwise His Majesty Li Er would not call him a painter for all major and minor matters. But Li Yuanying’s ability to grasp Shen Yun is really enviable. Whether it is a man or a horse, he has a very accurate sense of feeling. If he had not known that Li Yuanying was not born at Li Jing’s age, Yan Liben would have thought that Li Yuanying had seen this with his own eyes. Li Jing!

Yan Liben sighed, turned back to see His Majesty Li Er, and said: "His Royal Highness has a great grasp of Shen Yun, and his paintings are more vivid. The minister is not ashamed. Your Majesty will let His Highness Teng repaint the remaining 23 pictures. ."

His Majesty Li Er wanted to toss Li Yuanying, but didn't Li Yuanying go to Hu County? Li Yuanying had even set up the house, so it was obvious that he was not staying for a day or two. Li Chunfeng has already considered a good day to hang portraits, shouldn't he have to wait for Li Yuanying to paint? Besides, Li Yuanying has never seen Du Ruhui and Yin Kaishan. Did Li Yuanying come to paint to make him blind?

His Majesty Li Er said: "Yuan Ying has gone to Hu County, and it will take about two or three months to come back. Yan Qing still has to deal with the portrait of this matter." Although His Majesty Li Er didn't say he asked Yan Liben to repaint it. Twenty-three paintings, I still asked Yan Liben to repaint Li Jing, but he gave Yan Liben the "creative philosophy" of Li Yuanying's eloquent writing, and let Yan Liben follow this line of thinking and try his best to reflect why they were selected into the Lingyan Pavilion.

No matter how stupid Yan Liben was, he understood. His Majesty Li Er wanted to paint according to this standard, and he was not satisfied with the 23 existing portraits. In the end, he had to compare the portrait of Li Yuanying with a falcon and a horse!

Yan Liben was about to vomit blood.

You must know that for the original 23 pictures of heroes, he had spent many months of work, not only had to go to the still-living hero’s mansion every day to paint on the living, but also had to go to the late hero mansion to listen to their family members’ mentions. Reminiscent of the old man with tears. Is it easy to draw to their satisfaction?

After all, everyone was satisfied. As soon as the Li Jing painted by Li Yuanying went out, everyone must have ideas again! At least, His Majesty Li Er said implicitly that Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at the portrait yesterday, and felt that they needed to be changed, not comfortable, and unhappy if not.

Okay, Datang’s top three figures can change what they said, can they not change it?

Yan Liben walked out crying.

When Yan Liben returned to duty, he met Yan Lide who had not been reinstated as an official. Seeing Yan Liben's face turned bitter, Yan Lide asked involuntarily: "What's wrong? What's wrong with the saint looking for you?"

When he mentioned this, Yan Liben's expression became even more bitter. He pulled Yan Lide into the room and sat down and complained to his brother: Originally, he was just angry that Li Jing could not indulge the leopard and bump into him, so he quit. Unexpectedly, after Li Yuanying went to paint a portrait for him, His Majesty Li Er and Changsun Wuji were dissatisfied with the original 23 portraits!

Yan Liben omitted the part of Li Yuanying that he had pitted on Li Yuanying, but Yan Lide still keenly discovered what was wrong: "Why would the saint let King Teng paint?" He got along with Li Yuanying, knowing that Li Yuanying's paintings are pretty good, but others don't know. Ah, in the eyes of many people, Li Yuanying is still a playful, ignorant little prince, no one knows that he is quite talented in painting!

Seeing that Yan Liben couldn't hide it, he had to add that he was blinded by lard and Li Er's proposal to let Li Yuanying go to paint a portrait of Li Jing.

Yan Lide heard this, and didn't sympathize with Yan Liben's pitiful experience at all. He also laughed and said, "Don't you deserve it?" When it comes to this, Yan Lide has to mention his brother, "It's not that I said you, you do this. Shouldn’t it. Even if you know that King Teng has a good relationship with Wei Guogong, you can’t run to the saint and say, after all, one of them is a feudal king and the other is a military commander who once held a heavy hand. If the saint becomes suspicious, the trouble will be great."

Yan Liben was speechless for a while, and it took a while to find a retort: ​​"Anyway, one of them is at odds with your son-in-law and the other is at odds with your in-laws. Isn't it right that they are in serious trouble?"

Yan Liben's disagreement is actually still euphemistic. Li Yuanying and Li Tai have a big hatred. The main reason is that Li Yuanying broke Li Tai's dream of fighting for the crown with a hammer. Li Tai must have even the heart to kill him! Yan Lide's daughter and his niece are Li Tai's princess, and Li Tai's two children are both Yan Lide's grandchildren. Isn't this hatred?

As for the enemies on the other side, they are Li Jing and Tang Jian. Yan Lide’s other daughter married Tang Jian’s son. Tang Jian and Li Jing had another kind of grievances that had to be said. To put it simply, Li Jing didn’t care about Tang who was serving as an envoy to the Turks in order to kill the Turks. Thrifty is enough.

So in any case, it is normal for him to cheat Li Yuanying and Li Jing.

Yan Lide was silent for a moment, and did not mention the incredible thing that he and Li Yuanying had enjoyed each other. He only said: "But have you smashed others?" His Majesty Li Er didn't see any doubts about Li Yuanying, but Yan Li was going to do it. All 23 portraits have been reworked! Yan Lide said, "I went to see him off when Wang Wei left Beijing. He said something to me. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I believe it a bit."

Yan Liben said strangely: "What are you talking about?"

Yan Lide said: "He said that King Teng is a wicked person, but whoever wants to harm him will not only fail, but he will also harm himself in turn."

Li Tai is very knowledgeable about this. Every time he goes to Li Erbi to report Li Yuanying's status, in the end he is helping Li Yuanying to improve his presence and favorability. Later, he wanted to harm Li Yuanying, so he didn't know what he had done, and he was sent to the fief in embarrassment.

Li Tai still valued his son and the children in Yan's belly, so when Yan Lide came to see him off, he said that he had asked someone to move up and down, so that Yan Lide was restored to his post, and Yan Lide asked his mother-in-law to visit Yan more. Let Yan's husband not be around and not supported by her natal family. When leaving, Li Taicai told Yan Lide what he had hidden in his heart, let Yan Lide pay attention to it, Li Yuanying was too evil!

Yan Liben heard what his elder brother said, and was completely silent.

It seems that in the future, I really need to pay attention, and I can't dig pits and jump by myself. This is the painful experience that Wei Wang summed up!

The evil Li Yuanying officially started his internship at this time. Because of Xu Jingzong's instructions, the government officials were very polite to him. It was the summer when the spring plowing had passed and the year-end assessment was not due at the end of the year. The county government was actually quite leisurely and couldn't find any work for them.

Li Yuanying couldn't help but rushed to Xu Jingzong to ask for something to do. Since Xu Jingzong is an old fritters in the officialdom, he is naturally a flexible mind. He didn't want to let Li Yuanying touch him on the account, and after a second thought, he came up with a messenger: let Li Yuanying take a few of his friends to conduct a census. .

Of course, he didn't worry about letting Li Yuanying run around. He ordered clever government officials to **** them, saying that this is the practice of conducting census, mainly because people in some places below are unreasonable and unwilling to cooperate. Seeing Li Yuanying listening attentively, Xu Jingzong introduced to Li Yuanying the things to record: "First of all, we must record the'Five Nine', that is, every family has nineteen, forty-nine, fifty-nine, seventy-nine, eighty-nine. People."

Li Yuanying asked: "Why?"

Xu Jingzong introduced to him that he can serve at the age of nineteen, and every year he has to take time to do voluntary labor for the county. If he fights a war, he needs to be consulted at any time; after the age of forty-nine, his physical strength declines, and he can pay some money instead of serving. ; Stay at home for the elderly; after the age of fifty-nine, you don’t have to go out to work. At the end of each year, you can still eat in the county. Eighty-nine, they are all old birthday stars. The more old birthday stars, the more the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and the people’s morals are good. Therefore, the county must be given special treatment. Those who are officials in the county must even visit their homes to offer condolences.

Li Yuanying understands, it turns out that there are these doorways! He continued to ask Xu Jingzong what else he should pay attention to. After writing them down one by one, he patted his chest and promised: "No problem, leave it to us, we will figure it out!"

Xu Jingzong said: "Don't be in a hurry, just take it slow, and only need to make a record at the end of the year."

Li Yuanying was full of enthusiasm. He went back to tell Di Renjie and the others clearly what kind of work they had asked for, and immediately made preparations: first check how the previous booklet was done, and then ask the person in charge of this area how to go and how to do it is more suitable , And finally work together to make a specific plan of action.

Li Yuanying is busy opening here, but Xu Jingzong's master book is praising Jingzong's brilliance: "It is still the county lord who has a way, so that these nobles can have fun."

Xu Jingzong nodded his head. He came up with this errand, in fact, to create opportunities for Li Yuanying and the others to go out and play in the mountains, so that you don't have to worry about Li Yuanying messing around in the county office, but also allows Li Yuanying to come back happily!

The author has something to say:

Datang villain: This guy is really evil!

Great Song Admonishment Officer: That Wang Xiaoyu is really a wicked thing!

Little Prince: What? What are you talking about?
