222 Painter Zhang Xuan
A total of five special bicycles, lined up in front of the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, yellow handlebars, purple saddles, green pedals and blue body, look very brilliant, the wheels are spread all over the wheel by red, orange and blue plum blossoms, lightly pedaled, the whole car is like a rainbow crossed, very beautiful.
Zheng Peng originally wanted to paint the royal yellow, but there are many kinds of yellow, the effect is very average, and it also limits the use, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to use the seven colors of the rainbow to decorate the body.
In addition to the high-quality materials, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry also carved beams and painted buildings, carved birds and flowers, and decorated them with luxury goods such as gold threads, jade, pearls, etc., taking the handlebar as an example, which was wrapped with a layer of fine gold wire, which looked luxurious and noble.
It is said that it is a dedication, but in fact, Zheng Peng's design and some labor, the construction is mainly based on the three masters of the Ministry of Industry, and the materials required are directly transferred to the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry.
"This is the bicycle that has been so widely circulated? Does it seem special and hard to do? Li Chengyi looked the bicycle up and down and said with some curiosity.
Zheng Peng replied respectfully: "Back to the prince's words, this is a bicycle, it seems special, but it is actually very simple to do." ”
Li Chengqi patted the saddle of the car, and pushed the bicycle around, feeling very light, and asked with interest: "Judge Zheng, bicycles that don't need to be stocked and fed are better than horses, if Datang promotes the use of bicycles, especially the army, the grain and grass saved in a day is a lot of money, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people." ”
I have long thought that someone will say this problem, Zheng Peng explained: "Bicycles have advantages, there will also be disadvantages, take the Sulu Khan war horse as an example, in fact, it is a trick, take the horsepower of the skill, the speed of recovery is faster than the horse, if the Tuqi Shi constantly changes horses, the bicycle is not able to run the horse." ”
"The speed of the bicycle is not fast, the explosive power is insufficient, the impact force is also small, etc., these are all shortcomings" Speaking of this, Zheng Peng said carefully: "It is not necessary to replace the military horse, as long as it is used well, it also has a lot of effects." ”
It turned out that this was the case, and several princes present, including Li Longji, nodded secretly.
Li Longfan said eagerly: "Judge Zheng, how to ride this bicycle, teach me quickly." ”
"yes, I've wanted to try it for a long time." Li Longye also said expectantly.
Seeing that the brothers were so enthusiastic, Li Longji also became interested, and said happily: "There are five bicycles here, and the five of our brothers happen to have one each, so let's see which one learns the fastest, Silla has just paid tribute to a treasure, and the one who learns the fastest will take it, if a certain one wins, then this treasure will be left, and no one will remember it." ”
"This game is interesting" Li Chengyi said happily: "It's a bit unfair just for the three emperor brothers, it's better for each of us to take a treasure out, whoever wins in the end, one treasure becomes five treasures, how about it?" ”
Several princes are rich, there are fields and shops to support them, Li Longji continues to reward them all year round, and they are all rich, no one cares about that little thing, and the brothers are more happy than anything else, as soon as Li Chengyi proposed, everyone agreed.
Li Chengqi asked with some doubts: "How can it be mastered, how can it be drawn." ”
"This is simple, after practicing, as long as you ride on a bicycle and go around the gazebo without falling to the ground, even if you master it, how about it?" Li Chengyi asked.
Everyone said yes, and then asked Zheng Peng to start teaching on the spot.
The method of teaching is the same as that of Landuo, that is, to demonstrate it first, and then to teach the key points and skills, and let the guards help maintain the balance first, and then slowly let go, etc., and soon, Li Longji and his four brothers learned with great joy.
After giving the most distinguished people in the Tang Dynasty a basic lesson on cycling, the Imperial Dining Office sent someone to deliver the things Zheng Peng needed, and the female artist of the teaching workshop also arrived, setting up musical instruments and sorting out the team by the pavilion.
The musicians did their duty, and the singers and geisha did not look frightened, it could be seen that they often performed here, Zheng Peng had not yet started, and the people in the inner teaching workshop were already singing and dancing on the side.
When the first note sounded, Zheng Peng was stunned, and what the inner teaching workshop played and sang was the "Farewell" written by himself.
"Hehe, Judge Zheng, be surprised." It was a fragrant wind, and a yin and yang voice sounded, and it was Gao Lishi who spoke.
Zheng Peng opened the distance of two steps without a trace by cleaning the iron plate, and said while busy: "Yes, Gonggong Gao, Your Majesty and his brother together, why don't you play some light tunes, but play "Farewell", which is a bit unexpected." ”
Before the eunuch enters the palace, he must be castrated, although it will not be killed, but the control of urine after castration is not as good as before, sometimes he pees on the crotch of his pants when he is excited, and the eunuch occasionally has a smell of urine, which is not good, so it has become a practice for the eunuch to wear a sachet to cover up the strange smell on the body with aroma.
It's just that there is a clear difference between that fragrance and the fragrance on the beauty.
Zheng Peng really can't get used to it.
Gao Lishi smiled again: "It's nothing, it's a song ordered by Prince Shen, a few princes are not interested in the scene, they just want to listen to the new song, Judge Zheng, you are really amazing, Your Majesty and several princes, listen to the songs you wrote, play with the bicycle you offered, and eat the teppanyaki you made for a while, in the Tang Dynasty, Judge Zheng can be said to be the only one." ”
"It's really a shame to be valued by Your Majesty and all the princes, in the final analysis, thanks to the recommendation and support of Father-in-law Gao, Father-in-law's great kindness, Zheng Peng is unforgettable." Zheng Peng said very knowingly.
After a pause, Zheng Peng smiled and complimented: "In the final analysis, these are difficult to get into the hall of elegance, unlike Gao Gonggong, who is loyal and capable to His Majesty, and has done a lot of practical and good things for the people of Datang. ”
Although Gao Lishi is just a eunuch, he is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he can decide on his own in small matters, so it can be said that he has a lot of power, Zheng Peng knows that Gao Lishi is very wise as an official, and he also likes to promote newcomers, and his attitude towards him has softened a lot.
"Judge Zheng is really humble, very good." Colliers said with a smile.
When it comes to Colliers' heart, can you not be happy?
After cleaning the teppanyaki, you can't make teppanyaki right away, because the ingredients must be cleaned and marinated first, so that it tastes soft and delicious.
After processing the ingredients, Zheng Peng could take a short break and look around curiously while chatting with Gao Lishi.
Li Longji and his brothers practiced happily in the Imperial Garden, laughing one by one, Zheng Peng could see that when they practiced cycling, they not only coexisted peacefully, but there was no distinction between each other, as if they were back in their youth, and they smiled very sincerely.
Teppanyaki emphasizes the freshness and pot gas, and it is the most fragrant to eat just out of the pot, and the taste will be reduced for a long time, so I have to look at the progress of their practice, and wait until they are almost divided between the winners and losers.
It will only be ready for cooking in about a quarter of an hour, so there is no need to advance too much.
In the Imperial Garden, in addition to Li Longji and his four brothers who practiced bicycles, and then there were palace maids, guards, and musicians and female dancers played by the inner teaching workshop, Zheng Peng looked at Li Longji and their practice of bicycles for a while, and began to look around with interest.
Suddenly, Zheng Peng's eyes were on a strange person in the corner: a middle-aged man about thirty years old, dressed a little casually, hiding in the corner, looking at Li Longji and others on the field for a while, and drawing something on paper with a brush, looking a little strange.
It can't be an assassin, right?
Zheng Peng gently pulled Gao Lishi next to him, and said in a low voice: "Gao Gonggong, who is the person in the upper left corner, his appearance is a little suspicious." ”
Gao Lishi looked in the direction that Zheng Peng pointed, quickly retracted his gaze, and said with some disapproval: "That's a court painter, like those living people, they are a little unreasonable, not surprising, Judge Zheng should not see them and ignore them." ”
The living room is a book that records the emperor's words and deeds every day, and the daily records are sent to the history museum in order to pass on for the future, and the court painter is to record the court life in the form of painting, whether it is the living room or the painter, they are witnesses of history.
Just when Zheng Peng wanted to let go of this problem, Gao Lishi's words quickly attracted Zheng Peng's attention: "This Zhang Xuan, his painting skills are still very good." ”
What, Zhang Xuan?
