Chapter 339 Ask Yan Liben to Take a Family Portrait

Life is slowly moving forward in this process of losing money and making money.

After earning some money, Yunchu will not feel happy, but when some money is clearly lost, Yunchu is a little happy.

This kind of strange mentality is not only shared by Yunchu, he found that this kind of mentality generally exists among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

That is to not give an inch to the strong, to fight tit for tat, and even count as pennies and pennies. However, for the weakest people in Datang, there will be some conscience shown to some extent.

Yun Chu didn't think this was a manifestation of benevolence, on the contrary, he thought it was because these people needed to let the quality of a good person be reflected in themselves.

Like a tiger, when he is full, he doesn't mind a mouse stealing his leftovers.

Therefore, man is a very complicated animal.

Recently, Li Yifu committed such a wrong thing. When he was inspecting the prison of Dali Temple, he found a woman named Chunyu from Luozhou who was very pitiful. Bi Zhengyi let the poor woman go.

A woman who comes out of prison has no relatives, no food and clothing, where can she go?
In desperation, Li Yi's mansion showed great kindness again and took Chunyu's family in. He was also worried that Chunyu's family would look down on him because he came out of prison, so he took Chunyu's family as a concubine.

In this way, a poor woman finally had a foothold in this vast crowd.

It can be described as a good deed in the world.

It was such a perfect and good thing, but it was known to Duan Baoxuan who was born in the Guzang Duan family and had just assumed the post of Minister of Dali Temple for less than two months.

At the last great court meeting during the Yonghui period, Duan Baoxuan, who was obviously able to handle the matter internally, reported the matter to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would be strict and punish Li Yifu who had randomly put his hand into Dali Temple.

The first year of Xianqing is approaching, and Yunchu is still not qualified to enter the hall to discuss state affairs with all the bigwigs.

However, there are only a few people who can rank in front of him now. When the people in the hall resign, die of old age, demote, and be killed by Li Zhi, Yun Chu will be able to enter. The hall was warmed up.

In fact, Yunchu doesn't really like to go into the hall, it's too unfree, if encountering something ridiculous, he can't laugh out loud immediately, and when encountering something irritating, he can't open his mouth to swear at others immediately , this must have made Yunchu feel aggrieved.

Unlike outside the main hall, because of their gentleness, Di Renjie and Yunchu are in the same positions, so things like cans of tea can be brought in on the three of them.

While others were suffering in the cold wind, the three of them drank tea and ate scones while listening to anecdotes from the courtroom. I have to say that this was an extreme enjoyment.

Above the main hall, Li Yifu was very arrogant today, he even started scolding Duan Baoxuan, a very learned scholar could use the most vulgar language in the world to scold Duan Baoxuan for a while and was unable to return his words.

After hearing clearly the reason for the debate in the main hall, Yunchu said to Di Renjie: "Is this Bi Zhengyi blocking your way?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "If he did something wrong, he did something wrong, and he needs to bear the consequences."

Rourou also looked at Di Renjie and said, "I don't believe that such a small matter as a Dali Temple Prime Minister secretly releasing a woman from prison can alarm Duan Baoxuan, who has only been in office for less than two months?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. There are five Dali Temple Chancellors. I am the most simple and honest one. In the eyes of others, I am just a fool who only knows how to handle cases and knows nothing else."

"So, are the four of them fighting against each other?" Yun Chu asked.

"That's right, Duan Baoxuan didn't come, so he already let the words out. Dali Temple Shaoqing Lao Peng will be transferred to his subordinate province. This young minister will be replaced by Dali Temple Zheng. The vacant position of Dali Temple Zheng may be. I'm about to come out from among the five of us, I'm too young, I don't have enough qualifications, I can't be promoted, so the four of them are fighting each other."

Gentle and strange: "So you gave up this time?"

Di Renjie looked softly and said: "Who said I gave up, isn't this in progress? Bi Zhengyi has already been eliminated, and then the person who informed Duan Baoxuan will also be eliminated, and then there are only two people left. I will compliment you in the next few days They, let them perform a lot in front of Duan Baoxuan, and in the end, won't I be the only one left?"

At the beginning of Yun, Ruan felt that what Di Renjie said was very reasonable. Seeing that the red sun had already risen, it was estimated that the grand court meeting would be over soon. The three of them dealt with the scene separately, returned to the team comfortably, and waited for the court to disperse .

The inspecting censors turned a blind eye to the actions of the three of Yunchu. After all, they were all old fritters, so it was useless to say anything.

At this time, Li Zhi's voice came from the hall, and according to what he said, he had no intention of pursuing Li Yifu.

Because of the two people sent out to examine Li Yi's mansion, one was Liu Rengui, who gave the matter, and the other was Zhang Lun, the censor.

Only a few people know Liu Rengui's whereabouts now, so of course he can't go back to Chang'an to inspect Li Yi's mansion, and the censor Zhang Lun is the one who is best at figuring out the righteousness in the censor.

Therefore, it is doomed that the investigation will not have any results.

The next day, it was reported that Bi Zhengyi hanged himself and died. Yunchu felt that this behavior was very unreasonable for Li Yifu.

After the Great Court Meeting, it was time to prepare for the New Year, and the Yun family made very rich preparations this year due to the addition of children.

Before the New Year's Eve, Yunchu prepared presents and sent them to the homes of four veterans Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Zheng Rentai, and Liang Jianfang. This year's New Year's gift is considered to be finished. As for Di Renjie, Wen Rou, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, and He Yicheng's family gifts , Naturally, the housekeeper Liu Yi was sent to deliver.

The annual gifts for Sun Simiao and Xuanzang were the most troublesome. In order to give these two gifts, Yunchu planned for a whole year.

Sun Simiao's gift was the printed version of "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions". Originally, this thing was not too difficult, and the Tongpan family could print it out with a little effort. Drawings can be printed.

Therefore, the old man added a lot of herbal medicine graphics to Qianjinfang, so it was not published until a few years ago.

What Master Xuanzang gave was a complete set of "Journey to the West: The Legend of Shi'er", which is also full of pictures and texts. The various gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas are printed in the form of illustrations to make this book more readable.

To give Sun Simiao a New Year's gift, the whole family must be involved to make it appear grand.

Therefore, before the young year, Yunchu took the whole family out to Prince Ji's Mansion.

Li Shen was seriously ill, and he didn't see any visitors on weekdays.

When Yunchu came, he got up and took Yunchu's family to the Taoist temple in the back house to meet the old gods.

Yun Chu kept looking at Li Shen's sallow face, and Li Shen said a little shyly, "I've applied the medicine."

Yun Chu said: "Aren't you being too careful?"

Li Shen said solemnly: "Be careful sailing for ten thousand years."

Yun Chu nodded, and also felt that Li Shen had such a good idea, but it was useless for him to be careful, if Li Zhi and Wu Mei really wanted to deal with him, even if Sun Shenxian was protecting him, they would kill him his.

That couple is now frantically gathering power, and any power that is not controlled by their husband and wife is included.

"It will be fine when the emperor and empress move to Luoyang." Yunchu said to Li Shen.

Li Shen shook his head and said sadly: "When His Majesty was building the Luoyang Imperial City, he also built a house for me.

Sometimes I really feel that living like this is not as good as the old god who didn't take my illness completely well, and lived with such a crooked illness, maybe I could live a more comfortable life instead. "

"I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for the old god."

Li Shen smiled and said, "I've been used to doing things that I've done to others in my life."

Yunchu asked people to drag two carts of books to the back house of Prince Ji's mansion. When Yunchu saw the old fairy, the old man was practicing Wu Qinxi. The calmness of the ape, the dexterity of the ape, and the lightness of the bird are vividly performed.

After the old man finished playing a set of merits, Yun Chu hurriedly showed the printed "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" to the old man.

After flipping through "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", Sun Simiao was silent for a moment and said, "You did a very good job, very good, better than I expected."

When Yun Chu heard the words, he immediately grinned. Seriously, after being praised by the old god, Yun Chu felt comfortable all over.

Sun Simiao rubbed his hands on the books for a while, then said to Li Shen: "It costs a lot of money to print these books."

Li Shen immediately said: "This is to supply Yunchu."

Sun Simiao looked at Li Shen with some disappointment and said, "It's to make up for yourself. What you owe Yunchu cannot be compensated by money."

As he spoke, he pushed a copy of "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" in front of Li Shen.

Li Shen picked up the book, glanced at it quickly, and when he saw the words "Publisher Li Shen", he immediately stayed on the spot.

"Yunchu doesn't want this name, I gave it to you."

Sun Simiao ignored Li Shen whose tears were streaming down his cheeks, picked up Mei Yu'er and Cai Yunniang from the Yun family, and sat on the brocade couch with a smile, like an old fairy descending to earth with two beautiful children in his arms.

Yu Xiurong proudly bowed to the old god and said, "This scene where the old and the two are together should really invite Yan Gongbu to draw it."

It was originally a joke, but Sun Simiao took it seriously, and said to Li Shen who was still crying with his book in his hand, "Didn't you and Yan Liben have always been on good terms? Ask him to come and paint a portrait of the old Taoist."

Hearing this, Li Shen immediately wiped away tears, took Naha's hand and said, "Come with me."

Naha asked strangely, "What am I going to do?"

"Yan Liben recently drew a picture of "Drunken Monk" by Zhang Sengyou from Liang Dynasty.

Taoists often use this painting to mock monks.

The monks felt humiliated, so they pooled hundreds of thousands of dollars and asked Yan Liben to paint "Drunken Taoist Priest". Now the two sides are still attacking each other.

If Yan Liben draws a picture based on his ancestors this time, I wonder if those monks would dare to make fun of Taoist priests.

I told Yan Liben last time that I saw a beautiful blonde girl who was a rare elf in the world.

You follow me to let him take a look, maybe it can inspire this person's enthusiasm for painting.

You know that doing a job you like alone is different from being forced to do an errand.

This time I would like to ask Yan Liben to include your family of five and your ancestors in the same painting. "

　Go to sleep, I can't even open my eyes,
