Hearing the Great Qian Emperor's laughter, the First Prince's heart that was in his throat was finally put back into his stomach.
Unknowingly, the First Prince's court robes were drenched in sweat.
The First Prince was afraid that the Great Qian Emperor would not like it, and the fifty thousand taels of gold would go down the drain.
That was fifty thousand gold taels!
Converted to silver, it was equivalent to five hundred thousand taels of silver.
Even though he was a prince, he couldn't help but feel his heart ache.
One had to know that in order to win against the other princes last night, the First Prince had used many properties and land deeds under his name as gold.
If the Great Qian Emperor did not like this painting, the First Prince would wash his face in tears.
However, how could the Great Qian Emperor not like it?
Hong Chen's work could be said to be perfect.
A majestic and divine five-clawed golden dragon soaring in the nine heavens and ruling over thousands of miles of land. Which emperor would not like its meaning?
The Emperor of Da Qian was overjoyed and said loudly,""Reward! There will be a heavy reward!"
"Reward the First Prince with ten thousand taels of gold!"
" Conferring the title of Art Saint to Master Red Dust!"
"The Five-clawed True Dragon Painting is the number one national treasure of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!”
The First Prince was overjoyed and kowtowed to thank the Emperor.
At the same time, all the officials were shocked and curious.
What kind of painting could make the Emperor of Da Qian so happy that he even made a ten-year-old child the Art Saint?
This was a title bestowed by the Emperor himself, and his title was even greater than that of the Sage of Calligraphy, Lu Xizhi.
He even named this painting the number one national treasure of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, your son has a presumptuous request."”
"Just say it!" asked the Great Qian Emperor.”
"Since His Majesty has conferred the Painting of the Five-clawed True Dragon as the number one national treasure of the Great Qian Dynasty…" the First Prince said.
" In order to show Your Majesty's great kindness, can you display the Painting of the Five-clawed True Dragon in front of the Meridian Gate of the royal palace for seven days so that the commoners can admire the greatest national treasure of the Great Qian Dynasty?”
"Let them feel that His Majesty is the true dragon and the son of heaven, ruling over thousands of miles of land!”
The Great Qian Emperor laughed out loud.
"Good! Well said!"
"The First Prince's suggestion is good, this one agrees!”
The Emperor of Da Qian immediately gave the order to frame the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting and display it at the Meridian Gate.
He also spread the news to the world and conferred the title of Art Saint on Master Red Dust, as well as the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting as a national treasure.
Of course, during the exhibition period of the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting, the Emperor had ordered the most stringent guards.
The Imperial Guards were in charge of the security, taking turns to guard the place day and night.
To prevent someone from stealing the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting.
Otherwise, it would be a huge joke!
After Hong Chen received the news, he similarly laughed out loud happily.
Everything was going according to his plan!
As for the title of Art Saint bestowed upon him by the Great Qian Emperor, Hong Chen did not care.
During the day, Hong Chen took some time to make a trip to Grand Tutor Li Qian's residence and brought back the gold ingots and land deeds worth fifty thousand gold taels.
He also went to the Meridian Gate.
He wanted to see how the Great Qian Empire was doing with his [Five-clawed True Dragon Painting].
There was a sea of people in front of the square at the Meridian Gate.
There were simply too many commoners who came to admire the number one national treasure of the Great Qian Dynasty.
It was unknown who was among the commoners.
Hong Chen glanced at the rooftops outside the square and found that there were still a few people lying on the rooftops and looking down.
The imperial guards set up a barbed fence around a hundred meters away from the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting.
It was to prevent people from crossing the border and causing chaos, fishing in troubled waters and stealing the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting.
Hong Chen also discovered that the Imperial Guards had 100 elite soldiers stationed at the side.
The cultivation of the elite soldiers was at least at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage.
Other than the well-equipped elite soldiers, there were also 20 archers who were constantly on guard.
Most of the thieves and snitches are good at lightness skills, so they are defeated by archers!
In addition, two divine-tier imperial guards lieutenants, a hundred elite soldiers, and twenty archers were guarding the Five-clawed True Dragon Portrait!
"With such tight security, it's almost impenetrable. Even if Sima Zhaixing was still alive, he wouldn't be able to steal the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting, right?”
Hong Chen stood in the crowd and glanced at the Meridian Gate before shaking his head.
The reason why there was such a tight security was probably because the Emperor knew that recently, the Bandit Commander, Bandit Demon, Bandit King, and other great thieves had gathered in the capital, wanting to fight for the title of God Thief.
Now that he had exposed the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting, it was undoubtedly throwing away a piece of fragrant fat meat and exposing it to the hungry wolves hiding in the darkness.
That was why the Great Qian Emperor had made such strict arrangements to prevent the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting from being stolen.
The main reason was that the Great Gan Lord Dynasty's royal family had been scared off by a Bandit Commander called Sima Zhaixing.
Once bitten, twice shy. This made Sima Zhaixing and the Great Gan Lord Dynasty's royal family still cautious even after so many years.
"We've already been on such alert during the day. I believe it will be even stricter at night. Perhaps it will double the current level.”
"Hehehe, this way, there will be a test.”
"Being able to steal this Five-clawed True Dragon Painting under the inescapable net is worthy of the title of God Thief!”
