Yan Liben was good at craftsmanship, ingenuity, seal, official calligraphy, painting, and architecture. It was he who designed and built the Daming Palace.
Yan Liben's achievements in painting can be regarded as the pinnacle.
"Painting of a Chariot" and "Portraits of Emperors of All Dynasties" are his famous works, which have enjoyed great fame in later generations.
When Yan Liben heard that the emperor asked him to appreciate a painting, Yan Liben suddenly became interested.
When Yan Liben saw the painting, he couldn't help but be shocked, because even he had never seen the painting techniques on the painting.
This technique is completely different from the landscape painting method that focuses on describing the spirit with form, and the beauty lies in the charm between similarity and dissimilarity.
The painting is meticulously detailed, the form and spirit are complete, and it actually gives people a three-dimensional feeling.
This is really the first of a kind of painting! Yan Liben could not help but admire him more and more as he looked at it.
At the end, Yan Liben said sincerely: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has created a new painting technique. Your Majesty is actually the originator of this genre, and it will surely be famous throughout the ages."
Hearing Yan Liben's words, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses.
Huo, Yan Liben misunderstood. He thought this painting was painted by me, right?
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Ai Qing misunderstood. This painting was done by the sixth prince Li Min, not me."
What?
This painting was actually painted by the sixth prince? Is it Li Min, whose reputation as a prodigal spread throughout Chang'an City?
Isn't he only ten years old? He can actually create a genre?
Li Shimin's words couldn't help but stir up a storm in Yan Liben's heart.
"The Sixth Prince is really versatile and has created a new genre. I admire him very much!"
Even Yan Liben admitted that this is a new genre. It seems that this kind of painting technique has never appeared before.
It seems that the god Min'er met in his dream really taught him a lot of things.
Damn this kid for not doing his job properly and not using these things in the right way.
…
When he went to bed at night, Li Min fell asleep on the bed first, while Liu Zhi was writhing under the bed and refused to come up.
This made Li Min, who was used to holding a human-shaped hot water bottle, very uncomfortable. Li Min couldn't help but urge: "Liu Zhi, go to bed quickly."
Liu Zhi blushed and nodded, then took off her coat.
The next moment, Li Min's eyes widened, and he felt his blood surge up, and his nosebleed almost came out.
It turned out that Liu Zhi did not wear a bellyband this time, but put on the small lace panties and bra that Li Min bought for her.
Willow Zhi asked shyly: "Your Highness, does it look good?"
Li Min stared straight in the eyes and said absentmindedly: "It looks good, it looks good."
Seeing His Highness' eyes that seemed to be glued to her, Liu Zhi felt both shy and proud at the same time.
When Liu Zhi got into bed and leaned against Li Min as a habit, and Li Min hugged Liu Zhi as a habit, a feeling of heat suddenly arose in Li Min's body.
In the past, I always wore a bellyband with a layer of cloth between it.
Now that this layer of cloth was missing, the two of them were almost frank with each other, which made an indescribable part of Li Min's head quietly raise its head and stand high.
Similarly, Li Min could also feel that Liu Zhi's body suddenly became stiff and her body became hot.
Li Min's breathing gradually became heavier, and he even recited the Pure Heart Universal Good Mantra seventeen or eight times in his heart, but could not extinguish the fire in his heart.
Alas, Your Highness is still a child, why do you subject me to such a test?
Li Min thought that since the weather was getting hotter, he might as well let Liu Zhi go out to sleep.
If this continues, sooner or later there will be a misfire.
And this kind of thing, you know the taste after eating the marrow. If it happens for the first time, you may not be able to restrain yourself in the future.
And I am not yet eleven years old, so sooner or later I will have to do something bad.
…
The next day, as soon as Li Min had finished his meal, Xiaoliuzi came in and reported that there was a minister of the Ministry of Justice outside the door who wanted to see him.
Huh? Why does the Minister of Justice want to see His Highness?
Your Highness hasn’t committed anything?
Li Min was a little confused, waved his hand and asked Xiao Liuzi to lead the people in.
Not long after, a handsome middle-aged man with white face and slight beard was led in.
After seeing Li Min, the Minister of Punishment couldn't help but kneel to the ground and said respectfully: "Master, please accept my disciple's bow."
Li Min was immediately shocked. What is wrong with this guy?
Do you have to kneel down and bow down as soon as you come in?
You actually call yourself a disciple and call me master, but why did my Highness accept you as my disciple?
Li Min couldn't help but frown and said, "Did you admit the wrong person?"
The Minister of Punishment said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yan Liben, yesterday I saw His Highness's paintings of his own school somewhere in the Emperor's presence. Today, I came here specifically to be my apprentice. I hope that the Master will fulfill my wishes."
After hearing these words, Li Min finally understood the cause and effect.
It turned out that yesterday I drew a portrait of the imperial sister Li Lizhi, and then Yan Liben, the minister of etiquette, saw it. He was so itchy that he rushed to become his apprentice today.
However, it is just a new painting technique. Is it worth running over to learn from it?
Besides, your Highness's time is very precious. How can I have time to teach my apprentices?
Just when Li Min was about to wave his hand to reject Yan Liben, he suddenly thought of something.
Yan Liben?
What a familiar name!
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered, isn't this guy the great guy who painted "The Walking Chariot"?
By the way, this guy is a talent. Not only is he good at painting, he is also proficient in designing blueprints and building palaces.
Such talents are worth having.
Thinking of this, Li Min suddenly changed his face, strode up to Yan Liben, took his arm and said: "Shilang Yan, please get up quickly. If you are interested in my sketching techniques, we can discuss and learn together."
, If you want to become a disciple, it’s not necessary, right?”
Li Min originally thought that Yan Liben would follow the trend, but unexpectedly he didn't.
Yan Liben said solemnly: "Your Highness, I also know that the Tao should not be taught lightly, but I really want to learn this painting technique. If your Highness has any conditions, just put them forward. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Don’t refuse.”
Huo, why is this guy so stubborn?
I'm just learning painting, why do I have to become an apprentice?
In fact, in ancient times, the knowledge was very deep, and many skills were indeed not easily passed on to the outside world.
Li Min couldn't help but said distressedly: "Shilang Yan, it's not that I won't accept you as my disciple, I..."
Before Li Min finished speaking, Yan Liben said directly and loudly: "Disciple Yan Liben, I would like to pay my respects to my mentor."
After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times on the ground respectfully.
I'm sorry, I clearly didn't agree to accept you as my disciple, okay? What kind of understanding do you have?
However, since I have already paid my respects, if I say that I don't want to do it again, I don't know how long he will persist.
