Chapter 655: Hundred Immortal Diagram
On the second day, just after the beginning of the court meeting, there were officials praising the immortal canon compiled by Chu Xian, saying that it was a masterpiece of the world, and some people praised it, the method of compiling this immortal canon was unusual, and many places were innovative, such as distinguishing the content by font, like a small annotation, and there were more than a thousand pictures, all of which could not be seen in previous works.
This is no longer the standard for a masterpiece, but a landmark work.
"Especially Chu Wensheng's painting method, it is a unique in the world, I think, it should already be a painting skill in the realm of illusion gods. "Someone praised.
Today's court meeting, Chu Xian also came, hearing this praise, Chu Xian remained silent, because the other party was an official of the Yang family, so attentive, I am afraid that he will not have a good heart.
Yesterday's court meeting, Chu Xian had already heard Lu Wensheng say, in fact, for that Gao Xianwen, Chu Xian did not take the other party in his eyes from the beginning.
He is the official compilation of the Holy Dynasty, and Gao Xian's name is not correct and is doomed to failure.
Gao Xianwen is not afraid, but Yang Zhenqing is different, this person's means have to be a little more placed, after all, he is a great immortal who can wrestle with Xiao Yuzhongshu, not to be underestimated.
Just last night, Cui Huanzhi came to find him, and mentioned that Xiao Yuzhongshu intended to take advantage of the momentum of his meritorious compilation of the immortal code this time, and was ready to recommend himself to enter the list of alternate officials of the First Auxiliary Pavilion.
It's a great honor.
There are a total of ten alternate officials in the first auxiliary cabinet, which are generally replaced once every three years, and can be elected ten times in a row at most, if they have not gone further for more than 30 years, they can only give up their seats, which means that they can no longer step into the first auxiliary cabinet.
Basic Mountain, the immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion, all have to take this step first, although they are alternates, but their power and status are far beyond ordinary officials, and they have the right to speak in the Shoufu Pavilion, in short, the twenty-five immortal officials of the Shoufu Pavilion, plus ten alternates, these thirty-five immortals, are the people who really have the right to influence the fate of the Holy Dynasty. Let's just say that whoever is recommended to become the first immortal head and the head of the auxiliary pavilion must be these thirty-five to have the real right to be promoted.
Because of this, each of these thirty-five people is crucial, especially for the current Yang Zhenqing and Xiao Yu.
It just so happens that there will be a three-year replacement soon, and some of them have to retire and replenish fresh blood, according to Chu Xian's prestige and merits now, plus he is already a Dao Immortal, so as long as Xiao Yu's Zhongshu is properly arranged, it will be very easy for Chu Xian to ascend to the throne, so that Chu Xian's status will surpass Cui Huanzhi.
In this regard, Cui Huanzhi can only be relieved, Chu Xian can be better than the blue, of course he is happy.
But in the same way, Cui Huanzhi also told Chu Xian that the matter of letting Chu Xian take the position can be guessed by Yang Zhenqing's side, after all, now the two factions are already fighting together, Xiao Yu wants to push Chu Xian, so it is impossible for Yang Zhenqing's side to do nothing.
At the beginning of today's court meeting, the Yang Department began to boast about Chu Xian, which is simply abnormal, so not only Chu Xian is cautious, but Cui Huanzhi, and Xiao Yu, who is sitting on the high platform, also frowned.
Below, the topic gradually led to Chu Xian's painting, and several painting saints in the world also appeared to say, admiring Chu Xian's painting skills, and even sighing to themselves, willing to bow down.
In this way, faintly, Chu Xian was actually said to be the first in the holy pilgrimage painting.
"Not good. Xiao Yu carefully calculated on the stage, and probably guessed what Yang Zhenqing was going to do, and sure enough, at this time, a squire came out of the queue and said: "When the Holy Dynasty was first founded, the first generation of painting saints once created a picture of a hundred immortals, which is the peak painting of the Holy Dynasty, and it also highlights the demeanor of the three ancestors and many immortal saints back then. It's just because of some civil strife that year, resulting in the damage of this picture of a hundred immortals, over the years, no one dares to repair it, and no one has this certainty, it is really a pity for the Holy Dynasty, and now it coincides with the day of the celebration of the establishment of the Holy Dynasty, if this painting can be repaired, how good it is, now there is Chu Wensheng, the immortal at the peak of the painting path, I think, Chu Wensheng can repair this painting, and only he has this ability. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate uproar at the court meeting, everyone was stunned, and some people frowned and were silent in thought.
And at the first time, Cui Huanzhi couldn't help but speak: "No!"
The squire seemed to have known that someone would stop him, so he was not surprised, but asked rhetorically: "Master Cui, why not?"
Cui Huanzhi hurriedly said: "How important is the Hundred Immortals Diagram, it is a national treasure of the Holy Dynasty, a priceless treasure, although it is damaged, but this is a historical fault, and the damage is small, it does not have to be repair......ed;
Before he finished speaking, the squire interrupted: "Lord Cui's words are wrong, Chu Wensheng's painting skills are well known, just look at the immortal classics, it is the kind of classic that is difficult to produce for thousands of years, with pictures in it, so many painting saints are overwhelmed by it;
Cui Huan listened to it and wanted to speak, but several veteran painting saints over there had already come out en masse and bowed to Chu Xian.
"Chu Wensheng, the Hundred Immortal Diagram is very important, if it can be repaired, we will be very grateful to you, please don't shirk it. ”
"Yes, Chu Wensheng, we have studied your painting skills, and we are indeed good at it, we sigh to ourselves, you can rest assured, repair the paintings, we can think together, to be honest, in order to repair the Hundred Immortals Diagram, we have been thinking hard for decades, if Chu Wensheng can join this time, we will be more sure, and I will ask Chu Wensheng to agree." ”
"Chu Wensheng, count us old guys begging you, Baixiantu, we must repair it, if you don't agree, I, we won't get up. ”
The combined age of several painting saints is almost a thousand years old, and at this moment, they are beginning to rely on the old and sell the old, and they are playing a role in the super meeting, if Chu Xian does not agree, it is really difficult to do.
No one expected this meeting, and Chu Xian was also dumbfounded. However, he could see that these painting saints who only had the Tao in their hearts were used by others.
It is estimated that they were fooled by Yang Zhenqing and others behind their backs, and they were indeed eager to repair the Hundred Immortal Diagram, so they begged for the Hundred Immortal Diagram.
Because according to what everyone knows, these people are stubborn as donkeys, if they don't pay special attention to you and feel that you are indispensable, they will definitely not ask for help on this occasion.
The current situation is that Chu Xian is erected, and a few painting saints only know how to paint, and they don't know anything about officialdom, and they are as pure as children, so it is naturally easy to be used.
At this moment, there are officials from the Yang family who are adding fuel to the fire, which is equivalent to forcing Chu Xian to take over this errand.
This errand is the same as compiling the immortal canon, it takes a lot of effort and time to do, and it is common to repair and turn it into a year, maybe one or two years, three or five years, and it is really delayed for so long, I am afraid that I have missed the competition for the alternate officials of the first auxiliary cabinet.
Even if Chu Xian can still be elected three years later, when the first immortal, the first seat of the Shoufu Pavilion may have already fallen into the hands of Yang Zhenqing, so what's the point?
Therefore, this matter cannot be promised.
But the question is how to refuse?
If you don't agree, people will say that you are for selfish interests, unwilling to contribute, and that you are arrogant and arrogant; several painting saints have begged you, but you still put on a score, that is disrespectful to your predecessors; and repair the picture of the hundred immortals, this is a major event for the Holy Dynasty, if you refuse, I am afraid that you will be caught by someone at that time, so as to say that you have a problem, and you may not be able to be elected as an alternate in the first auxiliary pavilion at that time.
This trick is insidious.
Cui Huan gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't think of a way to crack it, and Xiao Yu on the stage also frowned, obviously embarrassed.
After all, it is indeed a big deal to restore the picture of the hundred immortals, and if this ancient painting can be restored, it will naturally be a good thing.
So at this time, Xiao Yu didn't speak, after all, Chu Xian himself knew the situation, how to choose, it was up to Chu Xian, this is the case in officialdom, although the backer is important, but in the final analysis, you have to have two brushes.
If Chu Xian can pass this level, he will definitely be able to gain benefits in the future, but if he can't, in fact, he is just one less speaker on the side of the Shoufu Pavilion.
Under the attention of everyone, Chu Xian made a decision.
"A few predecessors of the painting saint Miao praised, but several seniors invited each other, but Chu Xian was disrespectful, so he was willing to contribute. ”
Promised.
Yes, if you don't agree, you have to agree to whoever you are.
The officials on the Yang side's side all secretly sneered, Chu Xian was forced to take this errand, and some people may feel that this is an honor and a good thing, after all, if you can really repair the Hundred Immortal Diagram, it will be no less than the merit of compiling the Immortal Dictionary. But this matter is different from compiling the immortal canon; compiling the immortal canon, Chu Xian is the chief compiler, and everything is up to him, so he can control the overall situation, but the restoration of the hundred immortal pictures is different, because it is to repair with these painting saints, so Chu Xian can't control the overall situation, and with the temper and character of these old painting saints, it is to pursue perfection, and it is extremely difficult to serve.
Therefore, even if Chu Xian can simply repair and cope with errands, he will definitely not be able to pass the level of these old painting saints, and only a truly perfect restoration can satisfy them.
But how can this be so easy?
It has been thousands of years, how many painting saints have been born in the Holy Dynasty? There are not 100 but 80, so many painting saints, no one dares to repair them for so many years, and no one can repair them, which shows that this thing itself is almost impossible to do.
Coupled with the fact that these old painting saints strive for perfection, almost demanding requirements, and they can't even tolerate a trace of flaws, using this matter to drag Chu Xian is simply not too perfect. Thinking of the pride, many Yang officials wanted to laugh on the spot.
