Chapter 133 Calligraphy and Painting Killed many people, but the matter has not been settled, and the remnants of Webster's party still have to deal with it. The meritorious officials have not yet been rewarded. Dou Congyi couldn't even kill his wife. This guy was too bad, so he demoted him to Haozhou Sima, and he dropped four or five levels. Then Li Longji was renamed King Ping, in charge of internal and external stable affairs, and in charge of thousands of cavalry on the left and right sides. Xue Chongzhen was the Lijie King, Zhong Shaojing was promoted to an unknown number of levels at once, and became the Minister of Zhongshu. Liu Youqiu was the Minister of Zhongshu, and they were also promoted many levels, and they were also allowed to participate in government affairs. Then he ordered Ma Sizong to be the general of Youjin Wuwei Zhonglang. This was a straw system. On the third day, Princess Taiping met with Li Chongmao. The two talked for a while, and then Princess Taiping left. What was discussed, no one knows. But Li Chongmao began to issue decrees to give the throne to Li Dan, but Li Dan refused to grant it. So he appointed Ping Wang Li Longji as the palace eunuch and the third rank of Tongzhong Shumen. He appointed Song Wang Li Chengqi as the left guard general, Hengyang Wang Li Chengyi as the right guard general, Baling Wang Li Longfan as the Zuo Yulin general, and Pengcheng Wang Li Longye as the right guard. General Lin, Guanglu Shaoqing's successor, Dao Wang Li Wei, was the inspector of the right Jin Wuwei general. That is to say, except for Li Wei, Li Longji's brothers were all named kings. Another person, Yang Shenjiao, the husband of Princess Changning, was demoted to the governor of Bazhou. Wei Sili luckily survived and was demoted to the governor of Songzhou. Another person on the list of Wang Hua's buying orders was Wei Shi's confidant Zhao Yanzhao. He became the governor of Jiangzhou. Shortly after Cui Shi was recalled to the capital, he was demoted to the governor of Huazhou. Li Yong was demoted to be the governor of Qinzhou because of his unclear relationship with Weishi. There was another person who was demoted, which attracted Wang Hua's attention. Although Xiao Zhizhong was upright, he was related by marriage to Wei's family and was demoted to be the governor of Xuzhou. This shows that Princess Taiping has not taken action yet. Li Longji is in charge of everything. Therefore, Li Rizhi and Zhong Shaojing moved to the third rank of Tongzhongshu sect again. Zhong Shaojing became the biggest winner this time, rising faster than the three poles in cross talk. A man in charge of the imperial garden became the prime minister in a few days. Wang Maozhong was so frightened that Wu Yanxiu sent people to arrest him that he ran away. He has been hiding and not showing up for the past few days. Li Longji didn't blame him either. He was the go-between and played an important role in Li Longji's success, so he became a general. Liu Youqiu then persuaded Li Chengqi and Li Longji: "The Prime Minister has been emperor before, and all the people yearn for it. Now the people's hearts have not yet stabilized, and the affairs of the royal family and the country are the most important. Why does the Prime Minister still stick to small details and not ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible?" The overall situation has been decided, but the emperor is still Li Chongmao, and these people are not at ease. Li Longji replied: "My father is indifferent by nature and never cares about worldly affairs. Even though he rules the world, he still gives up the throne to others. What's more, the emperor is the son of my father's brother?" Liu Youqiu said eagerly again. : "The people's will cannot be violated. The Prime Minister wants to be alone, but what should we do about the country of Tang Dynasty?" When the important ministers in the inner hall were discussing matters, Liu Youqiu and others knelt down again and mentioned the matter. Li Dan said nothing. Princess Taiping directly asked the ministers: "The emperor wants to pass the throne to his uncle, is it okay?" Li Chongmao was dumbfounded, thinking, when did I have this idea. But he dared not say anything. "But after Princess Taiping asked, all the ministers understood and greeted her together. Princess Taiping directly lifted Li Chongmao up and said: "The hearts of all the people in the world belong to the King of Zodiac. This throne no longer belongs to you." Only then did Li Dan firmly refuse. In doing so, one is to set an example. It is best to give in a few more times before he has the nerve to sit on the throne. The second one is the marriage between Wang Hua and Li Chiying. Their marriage has not been settled yet, and Li Dan does not dare to sit in this position. Even though Wang Hua was in the capital, Li Dan was still very worried. But because of this, Li Chongmao had no choice but to issue an order to let Li Dan take charge of the government. In fact, the emperor once again became an empty frame, and power was transferred from Webster to the hands of the Prime Minister. So Li Dan appointed Zhong Shaojing as Zhongshu Ling. After Wang Hua heard this, he thought to himself, great, this migration has become a reality. However, because this boy started as a junior official and had no experience, he rewarded and punished arbitrarily, which made the ministers hate him very much. But he has recently made great achievements, and no one dares to say anything about it. At this time, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple advised him to resign according to the etiquette and stop being the prime minister. You are not that kind of guy. Then he wrote to Li Dan and said: "Although Zhong Shaojing has made great contributions to the country, he was born as a small official and has no talent or virtue. Now that he is promoted to the position of prime minister, I am afraid that many people in the world will make excuses." Li Dan also saw that he was not a good person. The prime minister's material was changed to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and then he was sent to Shuzhou to become the governor. ?? Even for Zhong Shaojing, the governor of Shuzhou was actually moved. But Wang Hua saw the shadow of Princess Taiping in this matter. The reason why Zhong Shaojing was promoted and demoted quickly this time was that he hesitated for a while. Li Longji knew it, and he knew it too, butDan Dan didn't know, but thought that the big move started from Zhong Shaojing's house, and thought that he was Li Longji's main helper. Li Longji was too embarrassed to say it. But I was somewhat unhappy in my heart, so I didn't protect Zhong Shaojing. But why did Xue Ji speak? Strictly speaking, he was still a member of the Wei Party, but now he had the right to speak. It was because he was subdued by Princess Taiping. But from the outside, it seems that his son married Princess Xianyuan. With the change of court again, Yao Yuanzhi was promoted to the third rank of the same family as the Minister of War. This is the long history of the Prime Minister's Palace. It is reasonable for the old man of the Prime Minister to be promoted. Song Zhiwen's brother Ran Zuyong and other members of Wei's party who were lucky enough to survive were exiled to Lingnan because they were nobodies and flattered Wu Wei. However, Wei Sili and Xiao Zhizhong became Zhongshu Ling again, Zhao Yanzhao became Zhongshu's minister, and Cui Shi became the official's minister. They all had the same policy. You can see that Princess Taiping's shadow in the court is getting heavier and heavier. "At the same time, Princess Taiping was added to make ten thousand households, and each of the princes became kings. But not long after, Cui Shi was dismissed as Shangshu Zuocheng, Zhang Xi was appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou, Xiao Zhizhong was appointed as the governor of Jinzhou, Wei Sili was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, Zhao Yanzhao was appointed the governor of Songzhou, and Li Qiao was demoted to the governor of Huaizhou. Song Jing finally made it through, and became a third-rank official in the same sect as Luo Governor's Shijian, School of Officials, and Shangshu. Cui Riyong was appointed as Huangmen's Minister and participated in political affairs. When Tang Xiujing became an official, Zhang Renyun resigned and became the general of Zuowei. It is reasonable for Zhang Xi to be demoted. He is Webster's confidant and will be demoted from the court sooner or later. Tang Xiujing was demoted because he was loyal to Li Xian instead of Li Dan, and in order to protect himself, he let his son marry the daughter of the He Lou family, which was also criticized. As the prime minister, Zhang Renyuan stood by and watched, so it is understandable that he would end up like this. However, after Xiao Zhizhong demoted several people in front of him, he moved back, moved back and demoted again, which made people laugh and cry. Fortunately, they hadn't had time to leave the capital yet, otherwise they would have been dizzy if they were promoted and demoted by the imperial court like this on the way. It may seem incomprehensible from the outside, but actually this is Li Longji¡¯s counterattack. However, Princess Taiping was unwilling to be outdone, and she targeted another person, Cui Riyong. Xue Ji wrote a letter saying: "Cui Riyong has an unpredictable heart. He has always followed Wu Sansi Wei, and he is not a loyal minister. A seller seeks glory, not a righteous man. Why don't you hear Wang Hua's attack and kill Wei's soldiers? The most shameless person in the world. "This is the person." Cui Riyong also wrote to explain: "Although I have made great mistakes in the past, I have made great achievements recently, so there is no need to question it. It is Xue Ji who entrusted the country with marriage and attached himself to Zhang Yizhi and Zong Chuke. He is not Qing." "What's the point?" In Wang Hua's words, these two are shameless people, but on the surface, they are slandering and attacking each other, but in fact, Princess Taiping and Li Long are wrestling behind the scenes. Li Dan performed a Tai Chi trick and dismissed both of them. Cui Riyong was appointed as the governor of Yong, and Xue Ji was appointed as the regular attendant of Zuo Sanqi. Li Dan¡¯s Tai Chi is certainly very good, but as a minister, this kind of Tai Chi can protect him, but as an emperor, he lacks decisiveness. This also means that a bigger battle is coming. As for Wang Hua, who made the greatest contribution to this coup, almost no one talks about it. It¡¯s not that Li Longji has forgotten Wang Hua. At this time, Li Longji was still a passionate young man, and his blackness was not very strong. Therefore, he found Wang Hua and said to him: "The promise my father made to King Lingxia is still valid." With the great contribution Wang Hua made this time, even King Lingxia could not do it. But Wang Hua looked at Li Longji sarcastically, King Lingxia? Even if we don¡¯t want the northwest, we still have six to seven million people in our hands. Now, maybe in four or five years, the population will surpass that of Tibet and the Turks, becoming the fourth pole in the world (Tang Dynasty, Dashi, Dong Roman Empire), at least on par with the Frankish Kingdom. He did not take the official position in the Tang Dynasty seriously at all, but talked about another matter. He said: "Your Majesty, you are here just in time. I want to talk to you about something." Now everyone calls him Li Longji. For His Highness, only Wang Hua still called Li Longji the crown prince. Li Longji also felt very helpless. He sat down and said, "Please tell me." "The imperial court owes a debt to the northwest, including food and cloth, but I have a I still have five million yuan left, and I hope the court will pay it to me all at once this year." "Manager Wang, this is what the late emperor signed with you, why are you bringing it up now?" That was Wei Dang's request to send troops to Wang Hua. result. Now that the Wei Party has been destroyed, this account should not have been opened in the first place. Li Longji couldn't help it, so he had to say: "Besides, I haven't seen the current economic situation in the northwest. The economic situation is good now, and you plan to hand it over to the court next year. Why bother the people in other places and enrich the northwest?" He felt dissatisfied. He was happy, spoke very politely, and still used the title of me. No matter what, Li Longji was very grateful to Wang Hua. If it weren't for Wang Hua, there would be no hope of success for this coup. Wang Hua replied: "It's not for the northwest, it's for the tripod of Kyushu. I've used up all the money in my hands, and I still owe a lot of debt." Li Longji's face darkened, and he said to himself that you still have the nerve to mention this matter. Now that Wang Hua's purchase of people has been made public, it was twenty to thirty cents per citizen that was transferred, which led to this crazy population transfer. In order to gain money, some people forced people to do so, or tricked people into transferring their entire families onto ships and sending them to the sea. The court did not know exactly how many people were transferred, but it knew that it must have exceeded one million people. Wang Hua has money in his hands, but he has to admit that he has made a lot of subsidies for the northwest. Coupled with this expenditure, it is estimated that the liquidity in his hands is indeed empty. Wang Hua ignored his expression and continued: "Originally, I didn't plan to count on the money from the court, but I really can't divert the funds. Even the five million yuan from the court is probably only half of the cost. Remember it. , The tripod of Kyushu was not forged for me.¡± The last sentence really hit Li Longji¡¯s heart. He said hesitantly: "You are saying that this tripod of Kyushu will cost more than tens of millions of dollars." "It is very possible that I underestimated it. I didn't know its cost until I cast cloisonne and turned my attention to jade. Far beyond my expectation. But Prince, I just want to say one thing, if the imperial court cuts the current redundant officials in half, or issues an edict to cut the residences of various distinguished princesses and princes by half, this money will be lost. Come out. If the prince does not agree, the peace treaty of the court must be fulfilled. Within two years, the owed grain, cloth and copper coins must be transported to the northwest. " "You have to give it even if you don't give it," Li Longji said with a bitter smile. : "Can I still refuse?" There is no way, Quan should reward Wang Hua for his contribution. However, the news about the Ten Thousand Min Weapon spread. This aroused great curiosity among people. Wang Hua made a second request. Because there are eighty-one patterns, these are the famous scenery of each major state. For example, in the first central continent, the first of the nine patterns has Chang'an City as the scenic spot and Zhongnan Mountain as the background. The second pattern is the Great Wall. No one pays attention to it now, but we have to admit that it is a landmark of China. The third picture is a pot of cloth. The first is the Yellow River, which is the mother river of China. The second picture is the rushing of the waterfall, which has great symbolic meaning. The fourth picture chooses Wu Gorge, which has beautiful scenery, and the Yangtze River is also the mother river of China. In the fifth picture, Wang Hua did not choose Mount Tai, but instead chose Mount Huang. The mountain is Huangshan, the water is Jiuzhaigou, and the landscape is Guilin. This is the most beautiful place in China. Therefore, the sixth and seventh scenes were also decided. The eighth painting is the Potala Palace. Sorry, Wang Hua ignored Tubo's opinions and took all the Tubo into his pocket. The ninth picture is the intersection between Suoge River and Xiaohai. As for the parts of Goryeo and Jiaozhi, they were too small and were not taken into consideration by Wang Hua. As long as Lake Baikal is included, the rest of the north will be fine. But the latter painting of a local king had never been there. He drew it based on his memory and the pictures on his computer in later generations. The same is true for other patterns. Some were drawn from memory, and some were drawn one after another based on the descriptions of my subordinates. The second state is Siberia. Wang Hua doesn¡¯t even understand. How did this area fall into the hands of the Russians? Later, it was the resources of this Far East region that supported the Russians from falling. The first image is the Ural Mountains, which immediately separate this Asian and European place. Then go to the scenery of the Aral Sea, the beautiful scenery of the Kamchatka Peninsula, the openness and desolation of the Siberian Tundra, the excellent natural port of Vladivostok, the snowfields and aurora of the Arctic, the Jian River and the Ob River, and the Transkhgan Mountains. Mayan architecture in North America, Belize Five Sisters Falls, Greenland, Rocky Mountains, Wudalian Lake, Hudson Bay, Gulf of Mexico, North American Great Plains, Orizaba Volcano. etc. In short, the eighty-one pictures are mainly famous landmarks, supplemented by other beautiful scenic spots, covering the five major directions of the state: east, west, south, north, and middle. Wang Hua painted it several times, and later made some improvements. He does not seek charm, but seeks resemblance in appearance, trying to have the same effect as the picture taken by the computer camera. These paintings were then given to the now famous portraits of the Tang Dynasty to be repainted and infused with verve. Therefore, it is necessary to need the support of the court. For example, Xue Ji, who is currently fighting with Cui Riyong, has excellent painting skills and is good at painting figures and cranes. Zheng Qian, whom Wang Hua once supported, was good at painting landscapes. Zheng Qian's three painting friends, Wang Wei and Zhang Tong, are now little kids and cannot be counted on. Li Sixun, the great general of Li who was good at painting landscapes, Li Zhaodao, the younger general of Li, Li Sixun's younger brother, Li Sixun, the son of Li Sixun, the future great man, Li Linfu. These four people are all landscape masters. Wu Daozi, who is beginning to show his talent, is also a god of painting. Jiang Jiao was good at painting eagles, Cao Yuankuo, who knew Wang Hua, was good at horses, and Secretary Zeng Luoxingshi of Tang Dynasty was good at painting.The phoenix painted by Lang Yuling, together with Hecao, Xue, Hexing and Shi, became one of the four wonders. Sima Chengzhen, the master of Taoist priest Li Xuejun, was good at painting, and Lu Hong was good at painting landscapes. Wait, including Li Longji, who was good at painting ink and bamboo, and himself, Wang Hua collected a total of eighty-one people from high-ranking officials and nobles in the court to hermits among the people. It can be said that these eighty-one people represent the top painters in the Tang Dynasty now, and each of them will not be lower than the top one hundred and fifty in terms of strength. Of course, the top ones are Generals Li and Xiao. Wu Daozi¡¯s painting skills have not yet reached the level of perfection. The second is calligraphy masters. Many painters are often calligraphers themselves, such as Xue Ji, Lu Hong, etc. Some are only famous for calligraphy, such as He Zhizhang, and Zhong Shaojing, who has just risen and fallen. Although his character is not very good, his calligraphy is very famous. He is a descendant of Zhong Yao. Some people call Zhong Yao Big Zhong and he is Little Zhong. Another example is Li Longji¡¯s brother Li Chengqi. In addition, Wang Hua finally found the down-and-out grass sage Zhang Xu. In order to prevent this star from straying from the direction, Wang Hua drank a lot of wine, wrote a few calligraphy stickers and sent them to him. This made Zhang's cursive calligraphy finally enter the realm of Dacheng, and now it is comparable to Wang's cursive calligraphy. The future prime minister Lu Jianzhi killed Li Yong to protect his wife. It was another one-time search. In the Tang Dynasty, calligraphy was valued more than painting, so this time the search was very extensive, totaling 182 people. Each person writes a poem or a poem. Unfortunately for Wang Hua, the highest level of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty was Ou, Chu and Yu, plus Sun Qianli, the great sage. Later Huaisu, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, plus Zhang Xu, these eight people were the pinnacle of Tang Dynasty calligraphy. Li Yong's running script and He Zhizhang's cursive script are certainly good, but there is still a slight gap between these eight people, and Zhang Xu's calligraphy has not really reached its peak. That is to say, these 182 works cannot represent the true essence of Chinese calligraphy. ???????????????????? Then there are the essays composed by the masters, including Li Qiao, Li Yong, Zhang Shuo, Shen Quanqi, Su Ting, He Zhizhang, Zhang Jiuling and Cui Shi who were exiled to Lingnan because of Afu. These eighty-one people are also the best writers in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Hua didn't ask about their political stance, only about their writing skills. Wang Hua wrote about the location, geographical features, production climate, etc. of these pictures. Then ask them to imagine and write an essay. The next step is poetry. This time, we only look at the ability to write poems, not the ability to write articles. Many literary celebrities were not selected again, but Zhang Jiuling, Li Yong, Zhang Shuo, Li Qiao and others are still among them. There are indeed some people with Chinese characters. Poems, even paintings are unique. But there are some people who did not choose his writings, but chose his poems, such as Guo Yuanzhen and Song Zhiwen, who was knocked out of his mouth by Wang Hua. Before Shangguan Xiaowan left, she also asked Wang Hua to compel him to write a short poem. Li Longji looked at the long list and took a breath of air. Construction of the Kyushu Tripod has not yet started, but with the nearly 300 people selected, its scale is already unimaginable. Coupled with its huge cost, it was widely spread among the people for a while, and it was even talked about more than the coup in the court. After all, if you don't talk about politics well, you will be in trouble, but it won't matter no matter how you talk about handicrafts. It took a long time for Li Longji to wake up and said: "Yes" []
