Li You had not expected that the painting of the Azure Stallion that he had drawn in his free time would have such a huge reaction. Even Yan Liben had come to find him to be his disciple.
Those who were familiar with the Great Tang, and even Li You, who was not familiar with it, knew that Yan Liben had made great achievements in the history of painting in our country. Even the portraits of the twenty-four meritorious officials in the Lingyan Pavilion that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was most proud of were painted by Yan Liben. This showed Yan Liben's status and ability.
Li You was amused. This disciple was worth taking in. In any case, he had already mastered the skills rewarded by the system. There was no problem teaching others. It just so happened that he could also become the founder of the realistic painting technique in China. Qiangu Liufang was also good. Just thinking about it made him very happy.
What was going on? Could it be that Yan Liben knew Shadow Clone?
This was too infuriating. He had conjured so many avatars to become his disciple. Was he sincere?
What a joke. Li You was such a rational person. Of course, he wouldn't believe such a ridiculous thing. Moreover, even if it was a shadow clone, how could everyone be different? That Yan Liben was too awesome. Why did he want to be his disciple?
"Young Supervisor Yan, please get up. If there's anything, let's talk inside.”Li You stepped forward and helped Yan Liben up. He was neither servile nor overbearing, and he was respectful to the wise. Then, he said to the other kneeling people,"Everyone, this king is young and does not have the intention of accepting too many disciples. Please return.”
After Li You finished speaking, he directly pulled Yan Liben back to the manor. As for the people outside the door, they had already given them a clear answer. If they were still willing to kneel there, then kneel. Just treat it as adding some decorations to the front of this king's manor.
"Are you really planning to take this king as your master?”"I've thought it through. It's not that easy to be this king's disciple." Li You smiled and asked.”
"As long as I can learn painting skills like the Painting of the Azure Stallion, I will not hesitate.”Yan Li Ben said seriously, as if he was not joking.
Li You could tell that Yan Li was the most genuine artist. In front of real art, he could put down any dignity.
"Alright, this king agrees to teach you painting skills.”Li You smiled evilly and said," But according to This King's rules, you can take me as your master, but you have to study for three years and serve me for two years. After you have learned This King's painting skills, you have to do your best to paint for two years. Then, you have to sell them. The profits will all be This King's." However, seeing that you're so smart and talented in painting, I reckon that you'll only need half a year to finish a quick painting. However, you'll still have to work for two years, understand?”
"I understand. I have no objections.”Yan Liben nodded his head in confusion. Why did he suddenly feel like he had been pulled into a gang?
"Not only that." Li You patted Yan Liben's shoulder and said with a smile,""There must be gifts and filial piety for three festivals and two birthdays. There must naturally be a heart for marriage and funerals. These are all rules that cannot be ignored, understand?”
"I, I understand. I will definitely do it.”Yan Liben bitterly smiled. Why did King Qi seem to be asking for money? There wouldn't be tuition fees, right?
"Don't worry, this king won't charge you tuition fees.”Li You seemed to have seen through Yan Liben's confusion and smiled, making Yan Liben feel embarrassed.
That's right, King Qi was willing to teach me painting skills, so how could he be greedy for money?
Moreover, he had heard that he had recently won a bet with a minister and earned more than three thousand strings of money. Moreover, the King of Wei, Li Tai, had compensated him with half a year's salary. No matter how he thought about it, he was not a person who lacked money.
"But you have to pay for the paint and the drawing board yourself.”Li You suddenly said. Yan Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he helplessly nodded his head. He finally understood that this King Qi that he had taken as his master truly knew how to live his life. He didn't suffer any losses.
Li Shimin received Yan Liben's resignation letter and was dumbfounded. I've always been good to you. How can you quit just like that?
In the end, he found out that he had gone to learn painting skills from Li You. Li Shimin wanted to cry but had no tears. This was like shooting himself in the foot.
Why are you showing off your son for no reason? You have persuaded a capable official to resign. I really brought this upon myself.
Talented people were rare, and Yan Liben had the ability to make Li Shiming treat him in a different light.
Yan Liben's resignation and Li You's learning of painting skills had shaken Chang 'an. All the scholars regarded this matter as a good story, praising Yan Liben's attitude of learning and progress. Of course, they also highly praised Li You's magical painting skills.
With the help of this trend, Li You's previous deeds were also dug out, especially the poem that persuaded Wei Zheng to return to the court as an official. It was even used as a story and spread among the people.
A wise young prince and a magnanimous official. Li You and Wei Zheng complemented each other. They were both glorious images of the imperial court. They were also generals and prime ministers who were comparable to Lianpo and Lin Xiangru. They became a legend. Li You was also known as a virtuous king among the people. The common people firmly believed that with a virtuous king like Li You around, they would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
As for the Three-Character Classic, with Li Shimin's support, it had successfully become an introductory book for students. The Great Confucian Sect was deeply fond of it, and it greatly affirmed Li You's literary achievements.
For a time, the bastard king who had once caused trouble in Chang 'an had become a virtuous king who was praised by everyone. He was the most famous among all the princes, and even Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King of Wei Li Tai could not compare to him.
"Wangye, this is an invitation for Grand Minister Wei Ting, inviting you to a banquet in the residence.”The guard came in to report and handed the invitation letter personally written by Wei Ting to Li You.
Damn, this is father-in-law treating me to a meal!
