Chapter 406: Picture of the Night Banquet in the Great Tang Dynasty!!!

The desk was set out and a silk cloth was spread out.

This time, it was Crown Prince Li Chengqian who ground the ink himself.

Li Er picked up the pen and put pen to paper.

Write down the four big characters "The Glory of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty".

"it is good!"

This immediately attracted cheers from all the civil and military officials.

It's not just good words.

The meaning is even more exquisite!

follow.

Li Er inscribed in the upper left corner:

"In the spring of March in the eighth year of Zhenguan, a memorial was written at the night banquet at Xuanwu Gate."

He then called in the eunuch and had him stamp the document with a small red seal.

Zhuang Zhou could see clearly that this was not Li Er's name.

But it is the two words "Zhenguan".

No name was left.

I don’t know who made this.

But this is also good!

Even if the signature is Li Shimin, I'm afraid it will be hard to find if it is taken back to modern times.

We can only regard it as a work by someone with the same name and surname in later generations.

After all, who would dare to recognize that this was the masterpiece of some Li Shimin in history?

Stamped with a small red stamp.

Li Er asked the eunuch to gently pick it up and unfold it to show everyone.

The civil and military officials naturally had to pay their respects and, as customary, say a few flattering words.

Anyone who can come to the banquet tonight is a smart person.

As soon as you see these four words, you will know how to speak.

But let’s be honest.

These four words are indeed well written.

Naturally, others also took a fancy to it.

The first one to step forward was Cheng Yaojin.

This guy had already stolen five pieces of calligraphy, and he still thought it was too much.

Zhuang Zhou thought that he had to find an opportunity to get all the things he had and the collection in the mansion.

Zhuang Zhou couldn’t guarantee anything about other people.

As for Cheng Yaojin, haha, he has absolute confidence.

The already lively night banquet became even more lively after Zhuang Zhou’s suggestion.

Now it has become even more lively.

In the hall, there were melodious music and graceful dancing.

The laughter of the crowd continued.

Seeing this scene.

Zhuang Zhou thought, how nice it would be if he could draw it!

at this time.

Zhuang Zhouzhou stood up and saluted to Li Er:

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Li Er smiled slightly and nodded:

"If you have any suggestions, feel free to speak up."

Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Tonight, the guests are all present and enjoying the grand occasion. Your Majesty, why don't you have someone paint this scene?

Let me take this painting back to the fairyland. After the fairy master sees it, he might ask me to bring some good things back to the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Everyone looked at Zhuang Zhou, with surprise and admiration in their eyes.

Li Er's eyes lit up as well, and he nodded in praise:

"This proposal is very good. It can not only show the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty, but also promote exchanges between the two worlds. It is really killing two birds with one stone."

So Li Er ordered Yan Liben to paint.

Yan Liben took the order and immediately began to paint.

He was originally a court painter with superb skills.

At this moment, he was fully focused, carving every stroke vividly.

In the hall, there were melodious music and graceful dancing.

Yan Liben sat quietly aside, using his pen as a sword and ink as armor.

Freeze these scenes on the canvas.

The blood of the Tang Dynasty seemed to flow under his pen, and every stroke was full of vitality.

in the painting.

Li Er sat upright on the dragon throne, looking dignified yet amiable.

The civil and military officials were either standing or sitting, each with their own different postures, yet in harmony and unity.

The dancers danced gracefully, their clothes fluttering in the wind, like fairies descending to earth.

The musicians played melodious music, adding a touch of elegance to this grand banquet.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Of course, Zhuang Zhou is also present in this painting.

But Zhuang Zhou didn't care.

Having a similar face is a very common thing.

Zhuang Zhou knew that this painting was more than just a depiction of a grand night banquet.

It is also a historical picture scroll showing the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

Bringing this painting back to the modern era would surely cause a sensation in the industry.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but smile proudly.

Finally, the banquet came to an end.

Amid everyone's anticipation, Yan Liben completed the sketch of the painting.

Li Er also stood up, walked to the painting and looked at it carefully.

In fact, most of the ancient court painters were not full-time.

And more of them were literati who worked as part-time painters.

The same is true of Yan Liben.

As early as during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yan Liben was the Junior Supervisor of Works.

After Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, Yan Liben entered the Qin Palace and served as a treasurer.

When Li Er ascended the throne, he was promoted to the positions of Chief Minister of Imperial Households and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Speaking of which, Yan Liben can be considered a meritorious official from the Prince Qin's Palace.

Li Er naturally trusted him very much.

"Great! What a great painting of a grand banquet in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Er praised Yan Liben highly and expressed his admiration for his painting skills.

Afterwards, Li Er ordered Yan Liben to finish the painting as soon as possible so that Zhuang Zhou could take it back to the fairyland as soon as possible.

Yan Liben naturally bowed and accepted the order.

Zhuang Zhou then remembered Yuchi Yiseng and bowed to Li Er again, saying:

"Your Majesty, I also know a good painter."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"This man is called Yuchi Yiseng. He has been painting in Caotang Temple for many years. He has superb painting skills and is a rare talent."

Li Er was slightly stunned, obviously he had never heard of this person.

Then he glanced at Yan Liben and asked:

"Have you ever heard of this man?"

Yan Liben first glanced at Zhuang Zhou, then bowed to Li Er and replied:

"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person.

His father was named Yuchi Bazhina, who came from Khotan and was held hostage in the Sui Dynasty.

Because he was good at painting Western figures and Buddha statues, he was granted the title of Duke of the County.

Yuchi Yiseng was a disciple of his father. He came to Chang'an in the sixth year of Zhenguan. It is said that he made a living by painting in various temples in Chang'an. "

After listening to Yan Liben's story, Li Er pondered for a moment.

Then he said loudly:

“If Zhuang Zhou recommends talents, they must have outstanding qualities.

I then issued an edict to appoint Yuchi Yiseng as a garrison officer."

Zhuang Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly expressed his gratitude.

He knew that this was Li Er's trust in him and recognition of his efforts to recruit talents from all over the world.

Zhuang Zhou naturally knew about Yuchi Yiseng's talent.

The reason why he mentioned Yuchi Yiseng was not just because of his superb painting skills.

more importantly.

Yuchi Yiseng's paintings are unique in style and full of Western customs.

This is true for the multicultural country of Datang.

It is undoubtedly a valuable asset.

Zhuang Zhou believes that as long as Yuchi Yiseng can have a bigger stage, his talent will be better utilized.

Inject new vitality into the painting art of the Tang Dynasty.

of course!

Zhuang Zhou will surely be able to obtain more peerless paintings in the future.

This will be a new beginning.

……

The night banquet ended.

Zhuang Zhou first followed the eunuch to the storehouse and selected ten pieces of calligraphy.

Originally, Li Er was thinking of having someone send it to Zhuang Zhou’s house the next day.

But Zhuang Zhou couldn't wait any longer.

Besides, why not take advantage of the alcohol tonight to finalize the matter?

What if Li Er changes his mind when he wakes up tomorrow?

The first time I came to Li Er’s warehouse.

Good guy!

There are countless kinds of rare treasures!

And there is more than one.

The storeroom that the eunuch brought Zhuang Zhou to was called Bingfang.

There are several others.

Just these royal storehouses, together, make up ten rooms.

You are worthy of being the king of a country!

All the rare treasures in the world become his family's.

But just wait, sooner or later I will have to move all your rare treasures away.

"Master Zhuang, have you made your choice?"

Seeing Zhuang Zhou grinning foolishly, the eunuch couldn't help but ask softly.

"Oh?"

Zhuang Zhou came back to his senses and said with a smile:

"Well, can I choose one more?"

Eunuch: “???”
