Why don't you just draw a portrait? Isn't that all?
"Okay, don't worry, I promise you."
His Majesty Li Er responded casually, but in the blink of an eye, he forgot about the matter.
"Your Majesty, I will go back first."
After saying hello to His Majesty Li Er, Su Chen got on the carriage and returned to Wannian County, while His Majesty Li Er walked towards Ganlu Hall, preparing to start the day's morning pilgrimage.
On the carriage.
"Harm, I hope things don't develop in the worst direction..."
With a sad sigh, Su Chen raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
Now Li Er's sleeping problem has been successfully solved, but he can't laugh no matter what.
Over the years, he has done a lot to pave the way for his bright image. If it is destroyed like this, then his mentality is really unbearable!
Half an hour later, Su Chen returned to the village and got busy at the new house.
In a while, it will be his wedding to Princess Changle. In order to welcome the first wedding in his life, Su Chen put a lot of thought into it and made all kinds of sufficient preparations.
Time passed quickly, and His Majesty Li Er's reply came early in the morning.
"Lord Protector, this is a secret message from Your Majesty."
Baiqi handed over the envelope respectfully.
Su Chen took it casually, then opened it and took a look.
The content of the letter is very simple, just three big characters written in Feibai style, very useful!
"well……"
A wonderful day begins with getting a letter from His Majesty Li Er.
Su Chen knew that this door god really couldn't escape...
Then, Su Chen turned around and went to the study room and wrote a reply to His Majesty Li Er.
The content is equally simple and clear, just four words, and everything is kept confidential.
…
At the same time, just when Su Chen handed the letter to the Baiqi, something happened in the Tai Chi Palace that Su Chen least wanted to see.
Ever since His Majesty Li Er was able to sleep well, the atmosphere in the palace has been filled with indescribable joy.
Although the ministers did not know about His Majesty Li Er's sleeping problem, almost everyone in the palace knew about it, but everyone tacitly didn't say anything about it.
This stubborn illness that kept His Majesty Li Er awake for months and nights was actually caused by the portrait of the Protector being posted on the door!
I don’t know where it started from, but in less than half a day, this matter completely spread in the palace.
"Did you hear that?
Your Majesty has recovered from sleep!"
"I know. I heard that it was because the portrait of Lord Protector was posted that the evil spirits were suppressed!"
"You are worthy of being the Protector of the Tang Dynasty. Not only can I protect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but I can also solve your Majesty's worries!"
…
Although His Majesty Li Er issued a big order early in the morning, this matter was not allowed to be leaked.
However, it seems that His Majesty Li Er did not say that they are not allowed to be similar, right?
So, out of a certain following mentality, Su Chen's portrait slowly began to appear on the door of His Majesty Li Er's harem.
At first, His Majesty Li Er's concubines imitated the portraits, but later on, some people who could pass by the door of His Majesty Li Er's palace also imitated one by one and secretly copied Su Chen's portrait.
However, not everyone can see the original portrait, so those who wanted to post the portrait began to draw one after another of different shapes for Su Chen based on word of mouth and their own imagination.
portrait……
I have to say that the ancients said that creativity is really rich. In just two days, I already had no less than ten portraits of Su Chen!
Although these portraits don't have much to do with each other, they have a common feature, that is, they all have the name of Su Chen, the Protector of the Country, in their inscriptions.
In this way, Su Chen's position as goalkeeper was officially settled.
And when His Majesty Li Er heard the news, he also remembered Su Chen's previous instructions, asking him not to leak this matter.
"In order to spread my decree and post the portrait of the Protector, no one in the palace is allowed to spread it!"
After issuing the imperial edict, His Majesty Li Er continued to be busy with government affairs.
Contrary to expectations, His Majesty Li Er's imperial edict did not have much effect. Instead, the trend of posting portraits of the Protector in the palace became more and more rampant.
Finally, I don't know who told this matter to someone outside the palace while chatting.
Then……
The whole city of Chang'an is boiling!
Originally, the people respected Su Chen, the protector of the country, and there were many places where immortal monuments were erected in his honor.
And when His Majesty Li Er's gag order was passed from person to person, the content of the message also changed...
"Recently, due to too many conquests in the early years, the current Holy One has an unknown final life, attracting hundreds of thousands of undead souls to surround him, and he can't sleep at night!"
"During that time, demons were rampant above the palace, ghosts were rampant, and evil soldiers walked through the aisles!"
"In fact, whenever you look at the palace on a full moon night, you can faintly see a layer of blood, which is the army of the undead!"
"The current Holy Lord is the True Dragon Emperor, and only demons and ghosts cannot get close to him. However, it has affected the current Holy Lord's sleep, making him unable to sleep!"
"At the critical moment, the Protector took action resolutely and single-handedly successfully suppressed countless unjust souls!"
"At this point, the Holy Lord is peaceful every night, and there will no longer be any evil spirits disturbing his sleep."
"In addition, the Protector has another plan, which is to post his portrait on the door, which can be used to drive away evil spirits and cast down monsters!"
"The Lord Protector is the reincarnation of a god with a great destiny. Posting his portrait can not only ward off evil spirits, but also protect the prosperity of the clan!"
As soon as this outrageous version appeared, people expressed their belief in it!
Because this man is the Lord Protector, he is trustworthy!
Due to Su Chen's various achievements, from Hong Su, Su Dao, Su Yan, to various subsequent infrastructure projects, Su Chen's reputation among the people has already reached a very terrifying level!
As a result, people frantically wanted to post Su Chen's portrait, but found that they had no idea what Su Chen looked like.
In order to find out what Su Chen looked like, people began to collect information continuously.
This phenomenon was seen as a business opportunity by the traders in Chang'an City.
After getting the general information about Su Chen's appearance, the vendors showed their talents and drew various portraits of Su Chen.
Once this kind of portrait was interviewed, it was enthusiastically sought after by the people, and the vendors made a lot of money!
At the beginning, the portraits of door gods on the market were based on the palace version, which was barely a cow head versus a cow tail.
But later on, some people simply let their imagination run wild and made hundreds of millions of changes to Su Chen's portrait.
Anyway, not many people have seen the appearance of the Protector. As long as one is signed by the Protector, it can be sold for a good price, so why not?
