My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 53
"The Walking Chariot" is one of the top ten famous paintings handed down in ancient China selected by later generations.

In the 14th year of Zhenguan, Songtsan Gampo, king of Tubo, admired the civilization of the Tang Dynasty, and sent an envoy Lu Dongzan to Chang'an to recruit. "Stepping Chariot Picture" depicts the scene when Lu Dongzan met Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

Of course, this is a civilized way of saying, the fact is that Songtsan Gampo was afraid of being beaten, and he really didn’t dare to fight Datang anymore, so he sent envoys to Chang’an to ask the heavenly kingdom not to fight Tubo again, we were beaten up, and in the future Don't dare to mess around anymore.

Still, it is to ask the emperor of Tang Dynasty for permission to make a marriage. This is how Princess Wencheng went to Tibet to make a marriage in the first month of the 15th year of Zhenguan.

Princess Wencheng got married. At that time, Yan Lide actually had a painting to record the scene at that time, "Princess Wencheng's Descending Fantu".

It can be seen from this that in fact Yan Lide's painting skills are also profound, worthy of a generation of national players, and he can also be ranked among the top three in the Tang Dynasty.Perhaps his brilliance in painting was overshadowed by his younger brother Yan Liben.

The sun and the moon are in the same sky, and the moonlight will always be suppressed by the sun. In an era, it is easier for people to remember the first person.The sun was too bright, and naturally covered other light.

At this time, the carriage arrived at the general prison, and it was almost time for the craftsmen in the general prison to rest immediately.

Li Zhi and Xia He got out of the carriage, and several craftsmen who would be in charge of the prison saw them and hurried over to greet them.

"Excuse me, is there a master craftsman here?"

"His Royal Highness, please come inside, I'll find a master craftsman right now."

When Li Zhi entered the general prison, two craftsmen had already gone to ask the master to work. After a while, Yan Lide heard that Prince Jin was coming, so he rushed over in a hurry.

"Chen Yan Lide has met His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"Yan Aiqing is free!"

"Your Highness, why are you here as a prisoner?"

"It's really a small matter, Yan Aiqing, find a painter and two carpenters for this king."

"Come on, go and call the best carpenter over here, two people."

Yan Lide hurriedly sent someone to call a carpenter. This will be built by the supervisor. Naturally, skilled craftsmen such as carpenters and painters who carve beams and painted buildings are indispensable. This is why Li Zhi is coming to be the supervisor.

Yan Lide sent someone to call the carpenter, and he bowed to King Jin.

"Your Highness, I am not talented, so I will be the painter!"

"It's so good. With Yan Aiqing personally writing, there must be no problem."

In fact, Li Zhi still wanted Yan Lide to call his younger brother here at this time. Li Zhi really wanted to meet this generation of masters, famous masters and national players, from the Tang Dynasty, but Yan Liben could be the first painter.

But Li Zhi just thought about it, firstly, Yan Liben was not working as a general supervisor, and secondly, Yan Lide had already asked himself to be the painter, so it was naturally difficult for Li Zhi to ask him to call him his younger brother.

What's more, the things Li Zhirang painted, to be honest, Yan Lide's paintings were all overkill, let alone Yan Liben.

"Your Highness, what do you want to draw?"

"Have someone prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Yan Lide hurriedly followed suit, and it was already time for the general supervisor to leave work, but King Jin was here, so if His Highness was not sent away, the general supervisor would dare to leave at will.

The craftsman prepared the four treasures of the study, and the craftsman who was looking for someone also called two carpenters.

Li Zhi described it on the side, and Yan Lide painted on the drawing paper according to King Jin's description.

The painting is extremely simple, just like a toothbrush in later generations. Of course, at this time, it is impossible to use plastic handles for toothbrushes, and it is impossible to use resin materials for bristles.

At this time, the materials are limited, and the reliable ones are wood and animal mane.

Li Zhi promised Xiaohuangmei that he would give her a toothbrush gadget tomorrow, and he has been in Datang for several days, and he really can't bear to brush his teeth with willow branches.

This thing seems to be the most environmentally friendly, but the problem is uncomfortable to brush, and the teeth can't be cleaned.

At this time, it is the right way to hurry up and make a toothbrush. It can be used by oneself, and it can also give little Huangmei a surprise.

Yan Lide had finished the painting, and asked King Jin what it was for, Li Zhi naturally did not hide it.This thing will be used by myself in the future, and it will be given to Xiao Huangmei, so I can't hide it.

Yan Lide looked at what he had drawn, suddenly slapped his thigh, and looked at Li Zhi.

"His Royal Highness, this thing is really exquisite!"

"Come here, find a few more carpenters, and let people find more pig temples and horse temples!"

"General Zuo, what kind of wood should be used for this wooden handle?"

"What kind of good wood do we have here now?"

"Returning to the general, there are still two pieces of golden nanmu in the prison, a pile of leftovers of mahogany, and a few pieces of red sandalwood!"

"Make them all and try!"

Naturally, the supervisor was busy with the production work, Li Zhizao sat aside, Xia He obediently hung his shoulders for Li Zhi, Yan Lide had already ordered someone to bring tea for King Jin.

Tea at this time can only be enjoyed by rich and noble families, there is no shortage of tea in the palace, and the ones Yan Lide prepares are top grade.

In fact, the brothers of the Yan family were also born in a very noble family. For three generations, they were all famous nobles. Their family was also married to the royal family, and the old Yan family also married a princess.

Li Zhi was sipping tea, enjoying Xia Hefen's fist lightly beating his shoulders, and squinted on the chair for a while, Yan Lide had already brought a few finished toothbrushes and presented them to King Jin.

"Your Highness, these are made of different animal hairs and different woods. Are you satisfied with your Highness?"

Li Zhi took one, looked at it, and nodded.

"Today I have General Lao to do it. The craftsmanship of this general's craftsman is nothing to say. I won't bother you here any more. Xia He, we have collected the things and we will go back."

"Your Highness, I have something to ask Your Highness."

"Oh, it's good for Yan Aiqing to speak directly if she has something to say."

"This kind of little gadget that His Highness asked you to make today, I think it is quite wonderful, I dare to ask Your Highness to ask the general to make more for the palace."

"This, Yan Aiqing can let someone do it herself, but I promised my little queen, this thing is a surprise for her."

"Oh, my minister promises that within three days, this thing will never be allowed to flow out and will be imprisoned."

Li Zhi nodded, Xia He had already put away some toothbrushes.

Yan Lide personally sent King Jin out of the gate of the general prison, watched King Jin and the maid get into the carriage before turning back to the general prison.

"You've been busy for half a day, so let's all go away! Don't go out and talk nonsense about today's affairs, otherwise I will never forgive you lightly, and His Royal Highness King Jin can't explain it to you. Do you remember clearly?"

"Yes, General!"

When the crowd dispersed, Jiang Zuo, the young craftsman, stayed and looked at the general Zuo in puzzlement.

"General Zuo, what's so good about the gadget His Royal Highness asked to make, General Zuo wants to put this matter in the prison?"

"You will know in the future, we will be the prisoner, but we have inherited the favor of His Royal Highness King Jin."

When Li Zhi returned to Wanchun Hall, he called Xia He and Chun Tao, and asked Chun Tao to fetch his usual tooth powder.

"The two of you have soaked this toothbrush in clean water, try brushing your teeth with some tooth powder!"

"Yes!"
