I, Emperor Ursus!

"Excuse me, why should I take off my mask?"

In front of everyone who questioned the rationality of this behavior, it can be said that everyone who heard this was shocked. Only Chen was quite indifferent. He knew that Nicholas was an emperor, let alone questioning, killing Liu Junming Not a thing.

To a certain extent, I admire Nicholas's integrity. He is obviously an emperor, but he lowers his identity to argue with these people. He is not like these people who just use their identity to overwhelm others, which makes her sick.

{Perhaps this emperor...is not as pedantic as he thought. }

Chen Xin thought.

"What do you mean by your Excellency's words?" Jing Zhe narrowed her eyes slightly, a piercing chill flashed across her beautiful eyes.

"What do you mean? Don't you understand the majestic Dali Temple?"

However, the sarcasm in Nicholas's language turned out to be even more serious. He even slightly mocked Jingzhe, flicked his sleeves lightly, and directly raised his head to face Liu Junming formally.

"May I ask your Excellency, are you a gentleman or a villain?"

Asking this question aggravated Liu Junming's contempt for Nicholas a lot. He thought it was a question. Isn't the answer obvious?He is undoubtedly a gentleman, could he still call himself a villain?

"Isn't that for sure? I'm naturally a gentleman!"

Liu Junming replied decisively, with righteous words on his face.

"Gentleman? Is someone like you worthy of being a gentleman?"

I received Nicholas' disdainful cold voices one after another.

"A person who doesn't even understand literature and art, who doesn't even have quality, dare to call himself a gentleman? Are gentlemen in this world so cheap?"

Undisguisedly sarcastically speaking, Nicholas smiled contemptuously.

Subsequently, Nicholas made his own remarks.

"Literary art is more than literature and art. It refers to people's refinement, sublimation and expression of life. Only people with pure hearts and secular people can enter the elegant hall. It emphasizes that everyone is true to each other. But what about you? ? Strong words, nonsense, using this competition as a tool to show your demeanor, without any respect for the true meaning of this competition in your eyes, is this your art?"

First of all, the connotation and essence of literature and art are revealed, leaving Liu Junming speechless, including other people who have heard about it, and they all think that what Nicholas said is reasonable, and they look up to Nicholas a little bit, as for Liu Junming. He widened his eyes angrily on the spot, who is he, a well-known young scholar in Yan Guo, who actually said that he didn't understand literature and art, which is no different from ridiculing him.

"And why do you say that you are not worthy of being a gentleman? That is even simpler."

But for Nicholas, it is naturally impossible to end so simply.

"What is a gentleman? He is a person with a noble personality and good moral character. He has both ability and virtue, is gentle and gentle. He does something and does not do it. If he is good, he will benefit the world. If he is poor, he will be good for himself. A gentleman does not act rashly. Actions must be righteous. Just words, words must be reasonable, a gentleman does not pursue what he seeks, and what he seeks must be righteous, a gentleman does not act in vain, and his actions must be righteous, only this can be truly regarded as a gentleman, a gentleman who is admired by all people in the world!"

The words that followed shocked everyone even more. They did not expect Nicholas to sum up the gentleman in such a general way. Such simple twelve essences and concise words summed up the whole of the gentleman. At that time, many scholars After changing his disdainful attitude towards Nicholas, he looked at Nicholas with surprise in his eyes, thinking that Nicholas must be a person who is proficient in the culture of the Yan Kingdom, otherwise it would be impossible to say such shocking words.

"But what about you? How did you become a gentleman?"

And speaking of this, Nicholas changed his subject.

"Judging people by their appearance, the lost child Yu, said that my lover and I wore masks to do hypocritical things, but to put it bluntly, it is just because my lover and I don't like your style. You use your values ​​​​to measure the values ​​​​of the truth in this world. He thought that his own values ​​could represent the values ​​of all people, and he said malicious words to confuse black and white, what qualifications do he have to be called a gentleman! A typical villain's behavior!"

Seizing the loopholes in Liu Junming's words, he lashed out crazily, became impassioned, passionate, and his voice hit the hearts of all the people present over and over again. Even Jing Zhe was shocked by Nicholas' words filled with righteous indignation , I do not know what to say is appropriate.

That was exactly what Nicholas said, and it was irrefutable.

Only Chen felt that something was wrong, the bright red eyes glared at Nicholas, and the sharp eyes shot out were full of girlish sullenness, and he was not taken lightly by one of Nicholas' sensitive words.

But he didn't dismantle Nicholas' stage, so he remained silent for the time being.

After all, Nicholas was attacking hypocritical nobles and scholars like Liu Junming, and she felt very good.

Just this time, Nicola was allowed to call her 'lover' in public.

Just this time.

"Today, my lover and I wear masks. Next time there is an ugly man standing in front of you, and you still say that these people are not worthy? Are you qualified if you say that you are a beautiful woman! Being able to judge people’s hearts, and being good at guessing, you are such a majestic king, every gentleman in Yan Kingdom can be like you, so how can we talk about literature, let alone art!?”

Nicholas' sonorous and forceful voice still did not stop.

"There are other people who can't tell right from wrong, can't tell right from wrong, keep silent when they see injustice, turn a deaf ear to it when they see injustice, have nothing to do with themselves, and hold it high. Style? If this is the case, please forgive my ignorance, I think I am not worthy of being with 'gentlemen'!"

And not only criticizing Liu Junming, but also criticizing all the nobles and scholars of the Yan Kingdom who were eating melons and watching the show, including Liu Junming, which made many nobles and scholars who were still thinking about what Nicholas said just now couldn't help feeling ashamed. He looked at Nicholas aggrievedly, and felt that what Nicholas said was too much, and he didn't give them face at all.

"you you!"

Not to mention Liu Junming, who was the person involved, pointed at Nicholas' face and faltered and couldn't say a word. His old blood was almost spurted out by Nicholas' attack. Attacking, this is how he sees people in the future, it will definitely become a big joke in the cultural circles of Yan Kingdom.

Just a commoner!

"If you are not convinced, how about making a bet with me?"

Then, Nicholas smiled playfully.

"I don't think I'm the same as you. You can take me as a rough person, but if you are extremely confident in your own culture, you might as well make a bet with me here, whoever will get out of Qingming Tower with his head in his arms How about going out!?"

Making such a bet with Liu Junming will undoubtedly make Liu Junming even more angry. It is not humiliating him to make such a bet against him in the public. If he does not answer, he will definitely be ridiculed in the future. Small, lost all face.

"You mean what you say?" Liu Junming said in a deep voice.

"Naturally!" Nicholas sneered.

"Have you said enough?"

Immediately afterwards, Jing Zhe intervened in the conversation between Liu Junming and Nicholas.

"This is an occasion for literary competitions. If the two of you still speak radically, please go out! If you want to prove something, please use your own literary and artistic comparisons to witness each other's abilities."

With a cold and indifferent voice, I witnessed that Nicholas and Liu Junming, who regarded this literary and artistic competition as a gamble, were extremely displeased with Jing Zhe, who was the organizer. This cultural and artistic event can be said to be the worst one she has ever organized. Fortunately, there is no media, otherwise the embarrassment will be thrown internationally.

Of course, the one who was even more upset was Nicholas. What do you mean, people who discriminated against her from Yan Kingdom, or did they not know how to speak politely on this public occasion?It depends on the owner to beat the dog.

"Drawing competition, start!"

After witnessing Nicholas and Liu Junming sitting back to their seats, Jing Zhe officially announced the start of the competition, concentrating on his own painting, including Nicholas and Liu Junming, who secretly vowed that Nicholas would La Diu Chou, while the former is open-minded, every painting is not in a hurry, and from time to time, he chats with Chen and drinks a cup of tea, as if he came to enjoy life.

Liu Junming naturally noticed this, and secretly sneered, affirming that Nicholas had no artistic talent at all, and he was about to be exposed.

Unfortunately, what Liu Junming couldn't see was that Chen, who was sitting next to Nicholas and sneering back at what Nicholas said, was staring at the painting slowly drawn on Nicholas's table, his eyes from Without even a moment's deviation, a pair of beautiful eyes widened unconsciously, lips parted, and she stood there dumbfounded, shocked by the person drawn by Nicholas.

Yes, not the people in the painting, but the people in the painting.

A painting is a person.

After a long two and a half hours of work, all the people put down their brushes in a tacit understanding, and some people who hadn't finished painting could only stop writing unwillingly, feeling that their talents were not good enough.

Then, as the staff erected the paintings on everyone's desks and displayed them to the public, there was a painting that surprised everyone.

It is none other than Nicholas's painting. It is a beautiful woman standing in a pavilion holding a book and slowly lowering her head. The only flaw is that the woman in the painting only shows her side face I didn't look back, but the lifelikeness of the picture is enough to see the fineness of the painting. The ink brush is like flowing clouds and flowing water around the plain paper. A few strokes are outlined like brocade, and the ink is used to draw the feelings in the heart. It is not exquisite.

"Divine painting, divine painting!"

And the next moment, someone yelled loudly.

"My God, who are you and why can you draw such a picture!?"

It was an old man, a highly respected old scholar in Yan Kingdom who was very proficient in painting, got up from his seat and hurriedly paced towards Nicholas, took the painting in the hands of the staff and admired it, He ignored the confused gazes of those around him.

"Why is this called a divine painting? Isn't it just a painting of a beauty?"

So much so that one of the scholars and nobles who were doing it asked in confusion, this Nicholas painting is exquisite, but it is called a divine painting, and the noble thinks it is too much. Comparable to Nicholas's painting, if Nicholas's painting is a divine painting, then wouldn't everyone in his family be divine paintings?Unreasonable.

"Didn't you see it? Is this painting on this woman?" The old scholar shook his head with emotion, and directly replaced the staff to show the painting to everyone, forgetting that the painting he took was not his own at all but Nicholas. of.

"This painting is not about this woman, but about this artistic conception!"

Confidential judgments one after another, making everyone who cares can't help but listen.

"Look, this woman only shows half of her face. On the surface, there is a flaw in the ointment, but if you take a closer look, the woman in this painting does not look back, but everyone can know that she is a beauty. Why? It is often invisible and intangible, but we can still know that it is a beautiful thing, which is what is highlighted in this painting!"

Just explaining the mysteries of this painting in one word made everyone look at each other at a loss. This old scholar didn't say anything, but he felt a kind of feeling when he said it. He was deeply surprised by Nicholas' painting. The mystery of this painting is indeed Point to point, leaving people with sufficient fantasy, different from the general pre-determined paintings, it has a unique charm.

"Old man, feel ashamed!"

What's more, after finishing speaking, the old scholar placed the painting on the table and bowed slightly to Nicholas. In Yan Kingdom, the "Confucian classics" similar to Confucian culture has a long history, and it is the mainstream culture of Yan Kingdom today. , emphasizing the integrity of the older generation, so the old scholar's bow is enough to explain too many things, and it shows that I admire Nicholas' five-body surrender, and I don't hesitate at all for unnecessary dignity.

At the same time, Liu Junming, who witnessed this scene, turned gloomy, thinking about who this Nicholas was. At first, he just looked down upon Nicholas when he was about the same age as him. How did Nima draw such a beautiful painting? ?This Nicholas is the type of person he wants to lick the most in Yan Country!He provokes this kind of person, it's not someone who wants to die.

Day, Wei Yanwu from Longmen, fuck him!

"It's just painting, I don't know how to play the piano? Could it be that I can only paint but not play the piano? Then why do I come here to participate in the competition?"

But things have come to this point, there is nothing to do, before everyone is flattering Nicholas, Liu Junming hurriedly asked, wanting to frustrate Nicholas, but he didn't know that it immediately caused the contempt of other nobles and scholars, such a powerful painting you draw If you don't come out, you still slander others, where is your face?

"Okay, if you want to listen to the piano, I will let you listen."

However, he didn't mind Liu Junming's deliberate questioning at all, and without hesitation at all, Nicholas grabbed the piano and played it on the spot. .

And together with the faster and faster speed of Nicholas's playing, a wonderful artistic conception burst out in the music played by Nicholas, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes like sunshine, sometimes like flowing water, It also seemed like the majestic sound of the turbulent river rushing down the waterfall echoed in the living room, resounding in everyone's ears.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue was deathly silent, no one spoke, no one spoke, they were all attracted by the music played by Nicholas, intoxicated by the beauty of the music.

There is only one word in my mind that can summarize what I think in my heart.

The sound of nature, real music.

It wasn't until the end of Nicholas' playing that everyone came to their senses, and they were amazed at Nicholas' piano skills and admired from the bottom of their hearts.

Finally, the song stopped, and Nicholas stood upright from his seat and walked towards the pale Liu Junming without saying a word.

"Go away, please."

Facing the door, spread out your palms.

"Gentleman?"

Looking at Liu Junming's eyes with piercing spirit, the hidden sharp eyes pierced Liu Junming's heart like a sharp knife, and the magnificent momentum suddenly spread out to cover Liu Junming's whole body, making Liu Junming's body feel like being squeezed by a heavy stone The more frightened he became, his body trembled in fear, his face ashen.

"Your Mightiness!"

Just at this moment, Jing Zhe said solemnly.

"He was just joking for a while, please don't mind, Your Excellency!"

Said it was Your Excellency, but in Jing Zhe's cognition, he had already guessed Nicholas' identity, but it was precisely because of this that he had to help. Even though Liu Junming's behavior was so stupid, he was still from Yan Kingdom. If Liu Junming really wanted to get out, it would only disgrace the Yan Kingdom if it was spread out. The national humiliation of the Yan Kingdom cannot be overstated. As an official of Dali Temple, she absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.

"When a man makes a promise, it's hard to chase after him. He's a man, why doesn't he keep his promise?"

It's just that Nicholas didn't take it seriously, and asked in reverse. Nicholas turned around and looked at Jingzhe with cold eyes. He was a little displeased to be disturbed by Jingzhe again and again. In fact, he came to see what Jingzhe looks like Yes, but there is a person who wants to die, he is disgusted.

"But it's still just a joke! You know it's a joke, but why do you take it seriously? Could it be that your Excellency must dig into the horns?"

Jing Zhe confronted each other in a high-pitched voice, and looked at Nicholas' pupils with stern eyes, indicating that he would not give in to Nicholas.

She also made it clear to Nicholas that she was going to argue here, and she didn't care.

It's better than telling Liu Junming to get out, this is the bottom line she sticks to.

"Okay, then I'll take what he said just now as a joke."
