Ancient paintings were also called Danqing.
It focused on the artistic conception and charm.
A master painter emphasized the meaning of the art, the technique of using brush and ink, and not the truth.
The works of those famous painters were mostly circulated among the nobles.
Commoners were basically unable to come into contact with it.
The city gates of Chang 'an County and Wannian County, which were closest to Daxing City, had just opened.
A knight in black holding a token charged in and headed straight for the county office.
The two county magistrates were still in bed.
When they heard the news from the yamen, they scrambled out.
The black robed knight left the four scrolls to the magistrate and left on his horse.
The county magistrate opened the scroll with trembling hands.
When he saw it, he was instantly shocked and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Chang 'an County and Wannian County were close to the capital.
These two county magistrates were also from the capital, and they had the honor of meeting the emperor.
At this moment, the Emperor had actually appeared in the scroll's painting.
How could he not prostrate himself in worship!
Three kowtows and nine kowtows were indispensable.
Only after he finished worshipping the painting with a serious expression did he have the courage to read the words on the painting.
The more he looked, the bigger his eyes widened.
In the end, he was so excited that his entire body trembled.
The two county magistrates shouted almost at the same time,"Call all the official documents in the yamen over!"”
Not long after.
A group of bailiffs rushed over from each of the four city gates.
They respectfully hung a huge picture on the city wall.
This picture was really too big. It was three meters wide and two meters long.
Hanging on the city wall, it was dazzling!
More importantly, there were three extremely dazzling accompanying pictures!
One of them was the ruins of a dilapidated county.
The county was filled with ruins, houses collapsed, and cracks on the road. It was a mess.
The other picture was of rows of neatly arranged tents, steaming pots, and people lining up in an orderly manner to receive food.
The last and largest picture.
A valiant man wearing a black and red crown stood on a huge rock.
He opened his hands and looked up at the sky.
On his body, a red light shot into the sky.
Around the man, there was a black mass of people and officials kneeling.
In the open space in front of the giant rock, there were four piles of strange things that no one recognized. They seemed to be food.
The merchants, commoners, and knights who were entering and exiting the city gates all stopped to watch.
Everyone raised their heads, their mouths wide open. They were dumbfounded and revealed extremely shocked expressions.
The commoners had never seen such a shocking high-resolution photo.
This was completely different from the paintings they usually saw.
This was not a painting!
This was real!
"What's this? Why is she in the painting?”
"These are real people, right? I can see every strand of their hair so clearly.”
"Look at that old man, the wrinkles on his face can be clearly counted.”
"I saw it. That old man seems to be missing a front tooth!”
"Who is that man in the painting? He looks so impressive!”
"There are also many words on it. Which old brother can read? Can you please explain what it says?”
At this moment.
An old man with a goatee and a long robe stood in front of the portrait.
"I am the chief registrar of this county. Now, I will explain the contents of the picture to everyone."”
"So it's the registrar. Please explain it to us!”
The old man had a holy look on his face as he said in an extremely pious tone,"Fellow villagers, the person in front of you is our current Sage, His Majesty the Sage Emperor!”
"What?!" The surrounding commoners were all stunned. It's actually the current emperor?"
Some of the citizens were already kneeling on the ground in excitement."This commoner greets the emperor. Long live our emperor!”
"We actually saw the Emperor!"
At the city gate, countless people knelt down and paid their respects.
The goateed old man was no exception. He finished paying his respects emotionally.
Then, he stood up and said seriously,""Now, I'll explain the contents of the letter to the villagers.”
He pointed at the first painting." I believe everyone is familiar with this place. Does anyone know where this is?”
A businessman raised his hand and said,"I know. This is Lantian County. My family has business there."”
The goateed elder said with a heavy expression,""That's right, this is Lantian County, which is a hundred miles away from us.”
"Lantian County suddenly had a huge earthquake the night before yesterday.”
"The entire Lantian County shook violently. Houses collapsed and trees snapped. The entire county has been completely destroyed.”
The surrounding commoners were shocked."What? An earthquake in Lantian County?”
"Heavens, isn't this a natural disaster? I wonder how many commoners died?"
"It's too tragic!"
However, the goateed elder continued,""Lantian County suddenly suffered a huge earthquake and the entire county was destroyed. Do you know how many people in Lantian County died?”
"Listen up."
The old man excitedly raised a finger."Not a single one. There are more than 10,000 people in Lantian County. All of them have been evacuated to safety.”
"This is a miracle that has never happened since Yao and Shun!”
The surrounding commoners widened their eyes in disbelief."How is that possible? How could there be no casualties in such a serious earthquake? You're lying!”
"If anyone doesn't believe me, you can go to Lantian County and take a look!"”
"All the disaster victims in Lantian County have been properly settled!”
"They can't starve or freeze. They're protected by the imperial court's soldiers!”
"Do you want to know why?"
All the commoners looked at the old man, wanting to hear his explanation.
Because His Majesty is the supreme ruler, the Son of Heaven.
His Majesty could communicate with heaven and earth and connect with the gods.
The day before the earthquake, the gods gave His Majesty a warning.
His Majesty urgently sent Huben Lang General Li Jing to lead 5,000 soldiers to evacuate all the civilians at the critical moment.
This prevented casualties.
As the old man explained, the surrounding commoners held their breaths nervously.
After hearing the whole story, they finally couldn't help but cheer.
"Your Majesty is wise, long live!"
