Golden Summoner

He actually became Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty!

Xia Ping'an looked at the portraits of palace maids in various poses displayed in front of him in the main hall, and he immediately came to his senses.

In fact, Zhaojun's departure from the fortress in history was not as bad as the legends in later literary works. Many works described Zhaojun's departure from the fortress as a humiliating marriage ceremony of the Han Dynasty. This completely obliterated the countless famous generals and warriors of the Han Dynasty. merit.

In real history, the Han Dynasty reached its peak in the era of Emperor Han Yuan. At this time, the Xiongnu had been attacked by nearly ten emperors before the Han Dynasty.

In the first year of Jingning, Hu Hanxie, the leader of the Southern Huns, very obediently came to Chang'an to pay homage to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, to fulfill the courtesy of a vassal and ask himself to be his son-in-law.

Emperor Han Yuan saw that Hu Hanxie, the leader of the Southern Huns, was quite sensible and well-behaved, so he agreed to Hu Hanxie's request. Of course, facing a barbarian tribe like the Xiongnu, Emperor Han Yuan was reluctant to let the blood of the Liu family and the royal nobles, princesses and princesses go. She really wants to marry a Huns, but at this time, the Southern Huns also need to give her face and appropriate comfort, and she cannot slap her face.

Isn't it just a woman? It's not a grievance to find a child from an ordinary family in the Han Dynasty and give it to Hu Hanxie, marry her to the Southern Xiongnu, and become the queen of the Southern Xiongnu tribe.

This is what Emperor Yuan of Han thought.

Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was naturally reluctant to part with the beautiful woman, so he thought that he could just choose an ugly woman in the palace to marry Hu Hanxie and everything would be fine. However, he never thought that under such a strange mistake, Wang Zhaojun would be married to him. out.

Of course Wang Zhaojun is not ugly, but is extremely beautiful in the world. She is the most beautiful girl in South County of Han Dynasty.

Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty usually chose too many women and beauties, and he was probably a little numb. In order to save trouble, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty asked the palace painter to draw a portrait for each of the beauties entering the palace. When he wanted to choose a beautiful woman, he asked a group of The eunuch and the maid took out the portraits and unfolded them in front of him. At a glance, he could easily see who was beautiful and who was ugly, and who was most to his liking. Moreover, this choice is more suitable for the emperor's status.

"Your Majesty, the portraits of all the maids in Yeting are here. Who does Your Majesty want to give to Hu Hanxie?" An old eunuch beside him looked at Xia Pingan without saying anything. He was still looking at the portraits in trance, and couldn't help but wonder. A reminder whispered from the side.

The maids in Yeting were all women who had never been favored by Emperor Han Yuan, and had not even seen Emperor Yuan of Han before entering the palace.

Xia Pingan stepped down from the throne and slowly walked around in front of the portraits of palace ladies. As he walked, Xia Pingan stopped in front of a portrait. There was a beautiful palace lady holding a banana fan. , is standing on tiptoes, trying to catch butterflies among the beach flowers. The whole painting is very vivid, and the figure and posture of the palace maid are all beautiful.

The name of this palace maid, Fu Yuan, is written on the portrait.

"Who painted this painting?" Xia Pingan asked.

"Your Majesty, this painting was painted by Mao Yanshou!" The old eunuch following Xia Pingan just glanced at the painting and said.

"Not bad, not bad, the painting is good..." Xia Pingan nodded.

"Mao Yanshou, thank you for your majesty Chrysostom's great kindness!" The old eunuch glanced to the side and said in a high voice. When one of the several painters standing in the corner of the hall heard this, he immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly came up. Thank you for the first two steps.

Is this guy Mao Yanshou who framed Miss Zhaojun?

Xia Pingan glanced at Mao Yanshou. Mao Yanshou looked to be in his fifties. He looked human-like, gentle and polite, just like the "experts" who specialize in fraud who appeared on TV marketing programs in later generations. good.

I'll deal with you later!

Xia Pingan secretly said in his heart, "Just give this Fu Yuan to Hu Hanxie!"

The old eunuch next to him was stunned when he heard Xia Ping'an's words. His Majesty has changed his gender. Last night, His Majesty said that he could just choose any ugly palace maid to give to Hu Hanxie. Why was it that when he chose the painting today, I also chose a beautiful one.

But the old eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just asked someone to put away the painting and prepare to make arrangements. Hu Hanxie has not arrived in Chang'an yet. Only the envoys of the Southern Xiongnu are in Chang'an. These matters must be decided in advance before Hu Hanxie arrives in Chang'an.

The reason why Xia Pingan chose this palace maid named Fu to give to Hu Hanxie was because in his impression, some unofficial legends recorded that Wang Zhaojun offended a woman named Fu in the palace. Later, the woman was killed by Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty. After being selected as Zhaoyi, his status was suddenly much higher than that of Wang Zhaojun. He targeted Wang Zhaojun everywhere, causing Wang Zhaojun to suffer a lot.

Xia Pingan continued to pace, scanning the portraits of palace maids one after another. Finally, in the last row of those portraits, Xia Pingan saw a familiar name Wang Qiang on a portrait!

Wang Qiang is Wang Zhaojun’s real name.

Wang Zhaojun in the portrait is the ugliest one among those portraits. Wang Qiang is standing in front of a pavilion window with a slightly stiff posture, holding a pipa in his hand, his nostrils are slightly larger, and there are a few moles under his eyes. Like teardrops, one cannot see how graceful the figure is, as it is all covered by the pipa.

It was this painting that fooled Wang Zhaojun.

Xia Pingan sighed, after Wang Zhaojun, in future generations, no beautiful woman in the world would dare to offend a photographer.

"Who painted this painting?"

"Your Majesty, it was still painted by Mao Yanshou!" said the old eunuch next to him.

"Okay, let's withdraw the others for now. This Wang Qiang is interesting. I have never seen such a strange-looking palace maid among the palace ladies. Judging from her appearance, she can also play the pipa. I just want to listen to the pipa today, so I will Recruit her to come to this palace and play a song for me!"

"yes!"

Xia Ping'an said calmly here. Mao Yanshou, the palace painter who had just been praised and had a good look on the front, turned pale instantly and his whole body was trembling. Finally, he and several painters left the hall in despair and retreated to the entrance of the hall. He was so weak that he even fell down and was extremely embarrassed.

Mao Yanshou never dreamed that Emperor Han Yuan seemed to have changed his temper today and specifically wanted to see the ugly girl by name.

After a while, Wang Zhaojun came holding the pipa and entered the hall.

Even though Xia Ping'an had seen too many beauties, when he saw Wang Zhaojun at this moment, his eyes lit up. Wang Zhaojun entered the hall. As soon as he entered, the whole hall was like a pearl rolling in, and the whole hall became alive and bright.

Wang Zhaojun, who entered the main hall, was carefully dressed up and looked even more luxurious, beautiful and elegant.

The Chinese people use the word "Shen Yu Luo Yan" to describe the appearance of a stunning woman. The allusion of "Luo Yan" comes from Wang Zhaojun. When the flying geese saw Wang Zhaojun on the ground, they couldn't help but drop down to take a closer look.

His hands are like catkins, his skin is like gelatin, his collar is like a caterpillar, his teeth are like gourds and rhinoceros, his head is like a rhinoceros, he has a charming smile, and his beautiful eyes are full of hope. Even this poem cannot describe half of Wang Zhaojun's beauty.

The moment he saw Wang Zhaojun, Xia Pingan finally understood why Emperor Han Yuan got so angry after seeing Wang Zhaojun that he killed all the palace painters including Mao Yanshou. Damn, such a once-in-a-lifetime beauty was actually killed by you guys. This guy paints an ugly girl and dares to trick me. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If I don't kill you, who will I kill?

Wang Zhaojun looked at Xia Pingan looking at him with burning eyes, a little shy on his face, and his rosy complexion made Zhaojun look more delicate than a flower, but Wang Zhaojun still gave an audience to Xia Pingan gracefully.

"Queen Xiu of Nanjun has met Your Majesty!"

"Can you play the pipa?" Xia Pingan asked.

"Learn a little bit!"

"Okay, you can play a song for me here, I want to hear it..."

"I wonder what song your Majesty would like to hear?"

"I will listen to whatever you play!" Xia Pingan smiled slightly, "Come here and give me a stool!"

An eunuch brought a stool and asked Wang Zhaojun to sit in front of Xia Pingan. Wang Zhaojun's face turned redder.

For Xia Pingan, it is a rare experience to hear Wang Zhaojun play the pipa with his own ears. With so many world beads integrated, this world pearl is the most satisfying.

Seeing the emperor for the first time, Wang Zhaojun was a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down. He held the pipa and put on his armor. With a move of his fingers, the whole hall was like thousands of jade beads falling on a jade plate, and the beautiful sound of the piano came from The gurgling water flowed out from under her green onion-like fingers, causing the entire hall to become silent.

Wang Zhaojun played Li Yannian's "Beauty Song", which is a repertoire of court music.

As the pipa played, Wang Zhaojun revealed his jade teeth, opened his red lips slightly, and began to sing, "There is a beauty in the north...peerless and independent...looking at Qingren City...then looking at Qingren Country...I would rather not know A beautiful city and a beautiful country...beautiful women are rare to find..."

This Han Dynasty Yuefu song is sung slowly, word for word, with a melodious voice. There are many changes and vocal techniques between the words. Sometimes one sentence is sung multiple times, unlike the popular music of later generations. The song has such a fast tempo.

Listening to Wang Zhaojun playing and singing "Beauty Song" lasted five or six minutes.

Xia Ping'an exhaled a long breath. Even if nothing fell from this world pearl and failed in the end, it would be a worthwhile trip to listen to Wang Zhaojun play and sing at this time.

After playing the song, Xia Pingan was immersed in Wang Zhaojun's superb skills. After Wang Zhaojun stopped for half a minute, Xia Pingan clapped alone and praised loudly, "This song can only be played in heaven, not in the world." smell."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Wang Zhaojun stared at the ground shyly.

Xia Pingan asked the eunuch next to him to take out the portrait Mao Yanshou drew for Wang Zhaojun and show it to Wang Zhaojun. It was probably the first time that Wang Zhaojun saw his portrait like this, and his face was filled with shock.

"How did you offend that Mao Yanshou, and he actually painted you like this?"

"Those painters ask for bribes when painting portraits of beautiful ladies. I just refuse to bribe him and don't want to be blackmailed by him. I didn't expect..." Wang Zhaojun bit his lip and said.

My sister, you are so beautiful, but your temper is too stubborn. Moreover, the fight in this palace, do you think it is just that you don’t give this Mao Yanshou money? Those beautiful ladies can bribe Mao Yanshou to let Mao Yanshou control it. If you draw something good-looking, you can naturally give him money to paint you ugly.

Xia Pingan shook his head, his face turned cold, "Bring Mao Yanshou..."

A few minutes later, Mao Yanshou was brought in again. When Mao Yanshou took one look at Wang Zhaojun and his portrait, and then looked at Xia Pingan with a cold expression, he was so frightened that he peed his pants and cried bitterly. As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt on the ground. He walked a few steps on the ground with his knees, kowtowing to Xia Pingan and Wang Zhaojun, his forehead bled from the knock, staining the ground red, and he kept slapping himself in the face.

"Mao Yanshou, you are so courageous. You actually dared to deceive me. You dared to kill people with a pen when you failed to ask for bribes. You should be executed for the crime of deceiving the emperor..." Xia Pingan looked at Mao Yanshou and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life..."

Xia Pingan looked at Wang Zhaojun, "Wang Qiang, this Mao Yanshou is greedy and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. It is the most abominable crime. He almost destroyed you. I will hand him over to you now and kill him as you please. Do you want to How do you want me to deal with him?"

Wang Zhaojun glanced at the palace painter who was kneeling and kowtowing, his face covered with blood. There was an unbearable look in his eyes. He turned his face and sighed, "Seeing that he has been painting diligently for Your Majesty in the palace these years, please forgive me." He has a life, don’t ruin his life because of me, I would really feel uneasy..."

Xia Pingan looked at Mao Yanshou, "Apart from Wang Qiang not bribing you, are there any other reasons for you to vilify Wang Qiang?"

"Because Wang Qiang is too delicate and beautiful, several beautiful ladies were afraid that Wang Qiang would compete with them, so they gave me money and asked me to deliberately paint Wang Qiang to be ugly..." Mao Yanshou explained everything, saying it several times in one breath Among the names of beautiful girls, there is the beautiful girl named Fu.

Wang Zhaojun's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, and he clenched his fists suddenly, as if he finally understood something...
