"Sister Three, why are you..."

"Princess Pingyang?"

Whether it was His Majesty Li Er or the ministers, they all had a look of ghosts on their faces. Even Chai Shao was so fierce that he took two steps back, his face full of incredible expressions!

Everyone present was the calmest person Li Chengqian, and when he saw everyone's reaction, he was full of disdain and contempt!

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but reach out to touch the portrait directly. He didn't react until the touch of paper came from his fingertips, and murmured in a low voice: "It turns out... it's just a portrait..."

Although the voice was very low, the ministers were obviously frightened by the portrait at this moment. They all widened their eyes and grew their mouths, but they didn't say a word, so they still heard His Majesty Li Er's whisper.

"call……"

Li Chengqian obviously heard many people breathe a sigh of relief... But he could understand the thoughts of everyone. No matter who has been young and even the figure paintings he has seen for thousands of years are abstract paintings, and he will not be calm even if he suddenly sees such a real portrait!

His Majesty Li Er suddenly turned his head and asked Li Chengqian: "This, this... how could this portrait be so real?"

"Hehe, this is a portrait made by Erchen to Master Yan Liben. It seems that he has invented a painting technique called sketching, which can draw figures very realistically!"

Needless to say, Li Chengqian was talking about the train again... The portrait was indeed written by Yan Lide's younger brother Yan Liben, but the sketching method was taught to him by Li Chengqian... To be precise, Li Chengqian just told Yan Liben the general method of sketching. After Yan Liben developed the specific drawing method himself, Li Chengqian didn't know how to sketch!

He really couldn't appreciate the portraits of Chinese ink paintings, or was it just a realistic oil painting that made people recognize who was who at a glance!

It’s also a pity that Yan Liben is extremely talented. He can draw such realistic portraits through Li Chengqian’s description, and... he actually remembers Princess Pingyan’s appearance, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to draw this painting!

"It's exactly the same!" His Majesty Li Er looked at the portrait in a daze, and never looked away for a long time!

After a while, when he finally turned his gaze from the portrait to the stone tablet engraved with the biography of Princess Pingyang, he frowned again and said, "Gao Ming, why are all these biographys in vernacular?"

Li Chengqian had known that His Majesty Li Er would ask this and explained: "Father, this thing is for the people. How many people do you think can understand those articles?"

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly and looked quietly at the portrait of Princess Pingyang behind the statue. He had no feelings for this, but several of the civil servants behind him frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with Li Chengqian recording Princess Pingyang's life in vernacular language!

...

After the Pingyang Princess Memorial Hall, it was not the memorial hall of Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji, but a memorial hall displaying statues, portraits, murals of life and deeds, and biography of people. This made everyone, including His Majesty Li Er, focus their attention on Li Chengqian again.

Li Chengqian touched his nose with a little embarrassed expression and said, "It's enough to set up a statue in the hall, otherwise..." As he said that, he looked at His Majesty Li Er, whose meaning was very obvious, otherwise he would be afraid that His Majesty Li Er would get angry!

The latter instantly understood what he meant, glared at him fiercely, and snorted heavily: "Hmph!"

Then he ignored him and looked at Li Jing's biography seriously...

"Li Jing (571-), whose courtesy name is Yaoshi, was from Sanyuan, Yongzhou. His outstanding military strategist in our dynasty was well-known, good at using troops, and good at strategy... He first served in the Sui Dynasty and was appointed as the governor of Mayi County... He served in the Tang Dynasty, from Ping Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande... Xiao Xian and Fu Gongyu in the south... He destroyed the Turks in the north..."

Seeing Li Jing's biography, His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Chengqian in confusion again, pointed to the blank space in the brackets behind Li Jing's name and the blank space at the bottom of the stone tablet and asked: "Why is there a blank space left here?"

Li Jing also looked at Li Chengqian with confusion on his face. The latter said awkwardly: "This... Father, Uncle Li is still alive... Is he going to make contributions in the future..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, remembering that there was indeed no such gap on the stone tablet of Princess Pingyang's biography just now, and then...

"Hahaha... Yes, yes, I'm confused. The pharmacist is still alive. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will still need the pharmacist to fight in all directions. This gap must be kept. Moreover, I feel that the blank space behind is a little small. I'm afraid that the pharmacist's achievements will not be enough to record in the future, hahaha..."

His Majesty Li Er laughed first, and the ministers laughed loudly, only Li Chengqian and Li Jing looked embarrassed.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but secretly stayed up. Do you want me to carve this time? I know that this can be carved out, but... I know that I will die that day, so I just waited so hard. Can you bear it? You can bear it, and I am not that boring or cruel! I laugh now, and it's time to see if you still laugh!

Afterwards, everyone walked past the memorial hall of generals such as Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong and others, but no one laughed because of the blank hair on the stone tablet. Instead, they began to discuss who had the better portrait...

A group of gossip men!

...

After watching the Memorial Hall of Military Generals, everyone came to the Memorial Hall of Civil Affairs. The first one was not Changsun Wuji, nor Fang, Du Anyun, but...

"Gao Ming, why put him first?" His Majesty Li Er was obviously a little unhappy and asked in a deep voice.

"Father, the order of the civil servants and military generals in this memorial hall is arranged according to their respective achievements, without any personal feelings... Moreover, this order is not important at all. In the future, even if someone's contribution is greater than these people, it will only be at the end! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess?"

His Majesty Li Er was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "As you said, if you only talk about achievements, he is indeed the best civil servant of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chengqian smiled faintly. Of course, he knew that there was no problem with this person ranking first in terms of merit, otherwise... Even if it was a dead person, the people around him would dare to compete with him for this sort, especially his cheap uncle... If the sort he arranged could not convince people, he would dare to be 10,000% sure, Changsun Wuji would definitely come to him to talk about life and other things!

Moreover, not only Changsun Wuji, but others also cause trouble for him. Therefore, Li Chengqian tried his best to sort this not because of sorting, and once wanted to directly determine the order by the number of strokes of the name!
