The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 205 Changsun Wuguo was shocked: Your Majesty is so powerful

Gao Huai soon came back with a few charcoal pencils, and then spread the fine rice paper on the table.

Seeing that Li Chengdao really planned to draw with charcoal, Changsun Yunlu also became very interested and asked: "Your Majesty, what do you plan to draw?"

Li Chengdao replied: "Let's draw people. Which one of you will be my model?"

"model?"

Changsun Wugou and Changsun Yunlu spoke in unison, their voices full of doubts.

"Uh...it just means sitting there and letting me draw."

Li Chengdao knew that he had made a mistake, so he explained.

The two of them suddenly understood, and then Changsun Yunlu took the initiative and said: "My aunt is more beautiful than my concubine, so let me be the model."

After saying that, he stood up and left the table.

Although Changsun Wugou intentionally refused, when she saw Li Chengdao looking at her, she couldn't help but agreed and said, "Then... okay."

After finishing speaking, he straightened his appearance a little and sat upright.

Li Chengdao wanted to remind her not to be so nervous, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. After looking at Changsun Wugou carefully for a while, he started to paint.

With only charcoal, naturally you can only draw sketches, but sketching is the basic skill for later generations to learn to draw, so this is not a difficult task.

Although learning to draw happened in the previous life, fortunately, he has not forgotten the technique of sketching.

Changsun Yunlu stood beside Li Chengdao and watched him paint curiously.

Li Chengdao sketched the general appearance of Changsun Wukuo on the rice paper with a few strokes, and then began to fill in the details to enrich the facial features.

It only took less than half an hour for the image of Changsun Yunlu to appear on the paper. The beauty of the country and the fragrance of the country are lifelike. It is much better than the line drawing method of ordinary Danqing paintings.

"Ah this..."

When Changsun Yunlu saw what Li Chengdao said, his beautiful eyes were full of surprise.

She had never heard of this painting method, but the characters painted were so real!
"All right."

After Li Chengdao completed the last detail, he threw away the charcoal in his hand and said with a smile.

Gao Huai on the side quickly brought the gold basin and towel to Li Chengdao to clean his hands.

"What kind of painting technique is this? It's simply amazing."

Changsun Yunlu picked up the sketch, and while admiring it, she walked towards Changsun Wugou and said, "Auntie, look at it quickly."

"How is the painting?"

Changsun Wugou stood up curiously and walked over.

After sitting motionless for almost half an hour, she felt a little tired. She was curious about what kind of painting Li Chengdao had painted.

After seeing the sketch in Changsun Yunlu's hand, Changsun Wugu's mouth opened slightly, and his pretty face was filled with shock.

"Is this... me?"

Looking at the extraordinarily beautiful and lifelike woman on the paper, Changsun Wugou felt a little unbelievable. "Of course it is. I still have some confidence in my painting techniques."

Li Chengdao smiled lightly.

Changsun Wugu blushed. Of course she knew it was her, but she just couldn't believe it. Was this her in Li Chengdao's eyes?

"Your Majesty, please be sure to teach me this art of painting!"

Changsun Yunlu grabbed Li Chengdao's hand and said very seriously, her beautiful eyes full of expectation.

She was fond of playing chess, calligraphy, painting and other skills. When she saw the unprecedented painting method displayed by Li Chengdao, she was naturally very moved!
"It doesn't hurt to teach you if you want to learn."

Li Chengdao nodded and agreed. For those who already have painting skills, it is not difficult to learn sketching.

While the two of them were talking, Changsun Wugou was gradually fascinated by the painting in his hand.

……

Ever since she showed off her sketching skills in front of Changsun Yunlu, Changsun Yunlu had worshiped Li Chengdao like a god and would often pester him to teach her how to draw.

Li Chengdao taught her to let her figure it out after two days, because he had other things to deal with at the moment.

After the imperial examination was held, the military examination was not held.

Compared with the civil examination, the martial arts examination held for the first time attracted the attention of countless people. After all, being able to obtain an official position in the military by relying on one's own bravery is much easier than studying hard for ten years.

The martial arts competition was held in a public place, and the location was located in the northern suburbs of Chang'an City.

The subjects of the martial arts competition were also formulated by Li Chengdao after discussing with the Ministry of Rites. Since he had no corresponding experience before, only two assessment categories were used for the first martial arts examination: martial arts and art of war.

The rest, such as riding and shooting, formation of troops, etc., will not be used in the first martial arts competition for the time being and will be expanded in the future.

The so-called martial arts competition means that the two sides test their martial arts skills in the ring. Considering that swords have no eyes, the weapons in the competition field are all made of wood. Although this does not eliminate the danger, it can at least reduce the risk to a minimum.

As for the art of war assessment, it tests the candidates' ability in leading troops. This is also to select generals who have the ability to lead troops.

Those with strong martial arts skills may become powerful generals, but those who are proficient in the art of war are even more rare.

It has to be said that although the imperial court paid more attention to the civil examination, the people of Chang'an were more interested in the military examination.

Therefore, when the martial arts competition began, the northern suburbs were crowded with people who came to watch the excitement.

As for the candidates for the martial arts competition, the Ministry of Rites took a very simple approach: just sign up and participate.

Because of this, people from all over the Tang Dynasty came to Chang'an and rushed to sign up, hoping to get a military job through this rare opportunity.

Li Chengdao naturally wanted to go to observe the first martial arts exercise. Not only him, but also the generals also went together.

At present, several armies under his command, Luo Yi's Jingzhou Army have returned to their Jingzhou garrison, and Li Jing is also leading troops outside to prepare naval forces.

The Yizhou Army and the Begging Army were changed into a unified organization, and the Begging Army was integrated into the Yizhou Army, led by Ran Minlai.

At present, half of the Yizhou Army has not yet returned to Yizhou, because Ran Min is coming to Chang'an to report on his duties. In addition, there are also the White Robe Army, Mobei Iron Cavalry, etc., who are all in Chang'an for the time being.

When the new year is over, the Mobei Iron Cavalry will return to the Youzhou border to garrison. The White Robe Army is Li Chengdao's personal army and will naturally be garrisoned around Chang'an.
