Empress Wu, Di Gong? Luoshui was shocked

Although this young man named Di Renjie, courtesy name Huaiying, had just experienced an unwarranted storm of being framed and slandered, and was almost imprisoned.

Moreover, it was this powerful and prestigious ambassador of Henan Province who lent a helping hand and helped him. With his keen insight, the truth of the case was quickly made public, clearing the injustice he had suffered, thus saving him from prison and preserving his reputation, fame, and even his fame, official position, and official status, with almost no loss.

According to common sense, if such a thing happened to other young officials, I think out of a hundred people, I am afraid that ten out of ten people would be uneasy, fearful, grateful, and prostrating when they first met me, the ambassador of Henan Province, a high-ranking official in the court.

Among them, there will be those opportunistic and scheming villains who want to use this as an opportunity to curry favor with me, a high-ranking official who will definitely bring them great benefits, and they will be extremely grateful, grateful, flattering, and fawning.

The servile and fawning faces and appearances are really disgusting!

However...

On the other hand, Di Huaiying, who was sitting next to him, looked calm, relaxed, and talked eloquently.

Even when he thanked me, the third-rank official of the Henan Dao Demotion Ambassador, for helping him, investigating the case in detail, and helping him to clear his unjust grievances, he only clasped his hands, bowed, and then bowed deeply. When he stood up after the ceremony, he said a few natural and calm words of thanks.

What made our Lord Yan Liben look at him differently and favor him more was that Lord Yan, who had experienced ups and downs in his official career for decades, had really seen too many young officials who had experienced some kind of ups and downs, setbacks, and hardships, and all kinds of words and deeds.

But...

I have never seen such an unusual performance and reaction as this young official named Di Renjie.

Yan Liben, who had been concentrating on Di Renjie's words, behavior and expression, did not see the expected frustration, loss, sadness, decadence, annoyance, depression and other extremely negative expressions and reactions. On the contrary, this old official who had been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades actually saw a kind of fearlessness, firmness, persistence, fortitude and tenacity that he had not seen for a long time from Di Renjie's slightly immature dark square face and his bright and clear eyes. He saw the struggle and striving for progress after knowing shame...

After a long, long time, Yan Liben, the ambassador of Henan Dao, who had been silent, slowly stood up from the couch and moved toHe came to Di Renjie, who was already standing beside him, and then reached out his hand and grasped the arm of this young official, and said with sincere emotion and praise: "I didn't expect that you, Di Huaiying, are really a rare young talent!"

Then, he praised again with a sigh of relief: "Thinking back to the past, when I was still a student, I read Confucius' "The Analects of Confucius: Li Ren" when I was studying. Confucius said: "Observe the faults and know the benevolence."

"

"After that, every time I thought about it, I still couldn't understand the profound meaning of Confucius's words. , it is really a great pity! "

"After seeing you Di Huaiying today, I really have a feeling of enlightenment, tut, tut, tut, tut, you Di Huaiying can be said to be the pearl of the sea, the treasure of the southeast, this is the 'Pearl of the Sea'!"

After sighing and praising Di Renjie, Yan Liben, who was full of satisfaction and self-satisfied smile, forced to pull him again. He could not decline, so he had no choice but to let the old officer pull him Di Huaiying to the main seat of Yan Liben Yan Gong, and sat on the same couch with Yan Gong, drinking tea and talking.

This long talk lasted for an hour.

When leaving, Yan Liben said to Di Renjie with some regret: "I have loved painting since I was young, and I have a talent for vivid and vivid painting. So I learned from my family and mastered the art of painting. I never thought that I would enter the officialdom as a painter."

"Every time I think of me, I always think of the royal family and dignitaries of the current dynasty, who called me as a craftsman and sent me away at will. They splashed ink and painted, and they felt ashamed to serve others. So they warned their sons and daughters: "My Yan family is a wealthy family that passed down poetry and literature. Why should we serve others with the lowly skills of a painter? From now on, all the sons and nephews of my Yan family are not allowed to use the art of painting as a family learning. Anyone who dares to violate this will be severely punished! '"

"So After I, my sons, nephews, and younger generations had finished admonishing the family precepts, I had already decided to stop painting. However, because it was difficult to disobey the imperial order, I had not made up my mind to stop painting. "

"But at least within the scope of my own ability, I have already set a standard boundary for myself between those who I want to paint and those who I don't want to paint. That is, the people I want to paint must be the literary celebrities, heroes of the world, and those talented young men and outstanding figures who I want to paint from the bottom of my heart. But if I meet or see them, I, Yan, will do my best to write inscriptions and poems for them, hoping that they can become a good story for the ages. "

"As for those people, I am determined not to paint their portraits from the bottom of my heart. As long asUnless there is a sacred decree from the Emperor, ordering me to paint the portrait of a person, even if he is a prince, a noble, or a member of a famous family, and even if he is willing to offer me millions of gold as a reward for my painting, I will never bow down to him or even look at him straight in the eye! ”

After a passionate and righteous speech, when the old officer Yan paused for a moment, the discontent and unhappiness on his face disappeared. When he looked at Di Renjie, his eyes and complexion were full of a kind and amiable elder, who sincerely appreciated and admired a young man and a young talent, and showed meticulous care and consideration.

And when Mr. Yan Liben heard him praising him, he said, "I didn't expect that when I saw Huaiying for the first time today, I would have a strong passion in my heart to paint a portrait, write an inscription, and write a poem for you, Di Huaiying!"

"Haha...haha...Di Huaiying, Di Huaiying! You are really an extraordinary young hero. Your fame and achievements and career prospects in the future will definitely be far better than mine! ”
