Chapter 100 The Sixth Assessment - True Romance
“Your Majesty, do you mean that this Wen Yu’s painting is better than Wu Jingsheng’s?”
The Imperial Academy’s wine offering was full of grief and indignation. I just feel that this great Zhou Dynasty will end sooner or later.
This holy sage is partial to his armpits, and he is telling lies with his eyes open in full view of everyone.
Master Tong, who had been closing his eyes to meditate, now opened his eyes, with a pair of phoenix eyes, as sharp as an eagle.
"A gentleman, if he can sincerely see what he desires, then he will think about it and know enough to warn himself, and when he is about to do something, he will think about and know it to calm others."
Guozijian offered wine, was not convinced, and warned him in public.
What he means is that when a king encounters something he covets, he should use contentment to warn himself. If he wants to build something new, he should stop it in moderation to make the people peaceful.
The source of this sentence is "Admonition to Taizong Ten Thoughts". When used here, it makes the young sage very fatuous.
Especially considering the two or three things that had to be said between the Holy Sage and the Marquis of Yongchang’s wife, Gu Nanxi, these words are extremely ironic.
After hearing the words of the Imperial College offering wine, the officials exchanged meaningful glances.
"As long as you can play, take it out for a walk, whether it's a mule or a horse, and you'll know?" Cui Sanlun impatiently interrupted the weird atmosphere at the scene.
As soon as Cui Sanlun took action, the officials who originally wanted to offer wine to the Imperial College kept their mouths shut, fearing that they would become the next target of criticism.
The young emperor and Concubine Tong looked at each other with evasive eyes, and said with a guilty conscience: "Then, let everyone see."
Concubine Tong picked up the round fan and blocked herself. Blushed cheeks, eyes languid.
This is an alternative picture of a lady.
Today, due to the affluence of life and the political stability, there are many pictures of ladies with graceful postures, slender figures and rigorous shapes.
But this picture of a lady is much more lively.
I saw a woman in palace attire, carrying gold-laced shoes, sticking her head out from the palace gate, with a pear tree falling gracefully on her head.
The dressed-up girl has a charming smile, and in her cat eyes like a spring, there is endless affection, but she is still shy about speaking.
A pair of bare feet hidden under the wide skirt, although only one naughty big toe is exposed, makes people think.
Looking down the maid's coquettish gaze, she saw a young man in a purple robe inlaid with gold. He had a side face, extraordinary handsomeness, and an air of nobility that appeared on the page.
[The bright flowers and the moon are shrouded in light mist. It’s a good time to go to Langbian today.
Walk up the fragrant steps with stockings and carry gold-leaf shoes.
It is rare to see him in the south of the painting hall, and he always looks close to others.
It is difficult for a slave to come out, so teach him to show mercy to you. 】
The Imperial Academy was choked with wine after seeing this painting.
This painting has delicate brushwork and bold layout, but coupled with the inexplicable friendship between the two, it seems to complement each other.
On such a solemn occasion, it is inappropriate to draw these contents.
“Tsk tsk, is this painting the Holy Emperor and Concubine Tong, or is it the Holy Emperor and the lady?”
"It must belong to Concubine Tong. Look at that palace attire..."
"In order for Baichuan Academy to win, His Majesty did not hesitate to bring out the personal affairs of himself and Concubine Tong. He made a huge sacrifice!"
The anxious onlookers who had been waiting for a long time pushed forward one after another.
“Let me take a look!”
“Oh, this painting is so good, even I can see clearly that this is a lover meeting!”
"What the hell, it's obviously just a painting, why do you make me blush?"
Someone next to me joked: "You have been out for so long, maybe you miss your wife at home!"
"Haha, when My old lady and I also had such a good time together!" The old man's eyes were full of memories, thinking that at the time, his old lady was also a flower in the countryside, and the two of them had spent time together, but now they are the only ones left. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.
The two people in this painting stir up an atmosphere that is inexplicably sweet.
The old man thought for a while, took out thirty coins from the middle of the shoe, and decided to buy a box of rouge for the old woman to make her happy.
Pang Jude couldn't accept this result, saluted, and said loudly: "On such an occasion, doing sideways things will attract people's attention and insult the gentlemen!"
Wen Yu does not have a good temper. The person pouted back on the spot: "Do you still remember what the test questions were?"
[Dye into a painting in seconds, strive for heavenly craftsmanship. The hand that draws the picture is green, the chanting is falling into the ink, the long song is full, and the brocade brush is in the wind. 】
Wen Yu pointed to the test questions hanging on the side and asked: "Is there any flaw in my painting? Can everyone understand my purpose? Is this painting of mine popular?!"
Pang Jude was so angry that his face turned red and his lips trembled: "No, you have no shame!"
Wen Yu straightened his chest and glanced sideways at him: "Food and sex are also important. Besides, there is nothing out of the ordinary in this painting. What's the point? If everyone avoids talking about the love between men and women like you, will future generations jump out of the cracks in the stone? No?"
"Well said! It's really romantic!"
"We can see the friendship in this painting even if we don't know Chinese characters!" >"This is clearly Miss Wen Yu's beautiful blessing to the Holy Emperor and Concubine Tong."
Song Da secretly guided public opinion.
"Even at the beginning of the assessment, they didn't say what they were not allowed to draw. Why, when they won, they said this and that were not allowed."
"Could it be Taixue and Songshan Academy? Can't afford to lose?"
"Yang Chunbai. Snow is romantic, and so are the lower-class people. At least in my opinion, I prefer this painting of a lady.”
“That’s right, it warms my heart and reminds me of it. The beautiful days when I first met my wife.”
The public opinion among the onlookers became louder and louder, almost overwhelmingly in favor of Wen Yu.
The young emperor raised his lips with excitement and pride on his face.
This is the first time that my decision has been supported by so many people.
Seeing the ugly expressions of those officials as if they had eaten shit, the young emperor felt as comfortable as drinking a pot of ice tea in the middle of summer in June.
“Since there is no objection, then Baichuan Academy wins this round!”
The officials were dissatisfied and did not dare to go against the holy will and public opinion, so they could only turn to Taishi Tong for help.
Grand Master Tong looked at Cui Sanlun, who was ready to bite him like a cockfighting cock at any time, and then looked at Gu Nanxi, who had an indifferent expression and was eating the fruit secretly.
Countless thoughts are spinning in hundreds of minds.
“Okay.”
Master Tong’s decision stopped everyone.
The assessment does not end with this one. After passing this level, the following ones will be more difficult.
This mysterious treasure must belong to Taishi Tong!
At noon, after this assessment, there will be a short break for an hour before the second one.
Wu Jingsheng put down his brush, stopped in front of the picture of the lady, and looked at it carefully for a long time.
“Brother Wu, you don’t have to worry about it, that woman is just a coincidence.”
"That's right, who is better and who wins? Everyone has a weighing scale in their hearts."
Wu Jingshang sighed: "I paint people, objects and scenery, but I don't paint love. The word love, Miss Wen Yu The painting reached its peak."
After that, he bowed deeply to Wen Yu: "I have learned a lesson."
