Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 137, advertising in front of Taihe Gate
In the imperial palace of the capital, Zhu Houzhao came back with a nine-sided full-length mirror, and his mind was full of what Liu Jin said: "What is an advertisement, advertisement, advertisement, naturally it is widely advertised."

"If our glass mirrors are going to be snapped up by the rich and powerful in the whole capital and even the whole Ming Dynasty, then we must let everyone know about it, and be crazy about it, and be fascinated by it."

Zhu Hou took care of the nine full-length mirrors in the room. These nine full-length mirrors were exquisite in workmanship. Except for the least valuable mirror, its frames were all made of mahogany, carved with dragons and phoenixes on it, and even the mirror's Landscape paintings are used for installation on the north side. These landscape paintings are still specially painted by others, and each piece is unique and orphaned.

Well, if you take the route of high-end atmosphere and high-grade, naturally the things that should be used as a foil should not be too inferior. After all, high-class people are all particular about people, and they spent a lot of money to buy a mirror, so the frame and the like should not be too shabby.

"How can everyone know about it, be crazy about it, and be fascinated by it?"

Touching his chin, Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought.

"Give one to my mother, one to my father, and one to my grandmother. That's only three, and there are six left. I keep one for myself, and five."

"There is no way to let everyone know of its existence in a short period of time if it is all sent out, and the things that are sent out are often placed at home, so it is not easy to spread them all at once. It’s better to hang it in a conspicuous place.”

"Where is it more appropriate to hang it, can it attract everyone's attention, and can it have the most advertising effect?"

Zhu Houzhao was muttering in his mouth, thinking constantly in his mind.

"Have~"

Soon, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and then he began to give instructions to Liu Jin beside him.

The next morning when he was still ugly, Zhu Houzhao was called up by the little eunuch.

Although he is not used to getting up early, when he thought of that incident, Zhu Houzhao lost all sleepiness immediately, put on his clothes and hurried to the Taihe Gate.

At this time, the cold wind was howling outside, it was very cold, and the sky was still very dark.

The Supreme Harmony Gate is very lively here. As the time of the morning court draws closer, more and more courtiers gather here. When they meet each other, they also greet each other and chat for a while.

When the ministers go to the morning court, they usually get up around 3 o'clock and come to the Taihe Gate. Usually, the palace gate will open around 5 o'clock in the morning, and all the officials will enter in turn. They will cross the Jinshui Bridge and enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the square. Start morning.

Outside the gate of Supreme Harmony, more and more courtiers gathered, and the sky gradually began to brighten. At the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Houzhao hurried over and began to give orders to his subordinates.

"Hurry up, hurry up and set it up, all the courtiers will pass by here when they go to court."

Zhu Houzhao is the current crown prince and the only son of Emperor Hongzhi. He has always been rampant in the palace, and none of the guards of the Hall of Supreme Harmony dared to stop Zhu Houzhao.

I saw Liu Jin under Zhu Houzhao commanding a group of eunuchs to move two shelves. The things on the shelves were covered by red cloth, which was full of mystery. The guards guarding the side were very curious, but they could only use their peripheral vision. Take a look, want to see what the prince brought here.

The little eunuchs placed two shelves on the left and right at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. This is the place where the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the court must pass through to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Tsk tsk, I'm still smart. I thought of this method. When everyone looks from here and sees themselves in the mirror, everyone will be shocked."

After the arrangement was completed, Zhu Houzhao was also slightly proud. He thought for a long time before coming up with this idea, and he also made careful preparations for it.

"Clang~clang~"

Soon, the bell on the Gate of Supreme Harmony rang, and it was time for the morning court, and the gate of the Gate of Supreme Harmony was slowly opening, from which you could also see that outside the Gate of Supreme Harmony, all the officials were ready The preparations for the early court are walking towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony in order.

"Take off the cloth~"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered that the two small yellow gates also lifted the red cloth on the shelf, revealing two full-length mirrors, one on the left and one on the right.

Next to the mirror on the left is a wooden board that reads: "Use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes!"

There is also a wooden board next to the mirror on the right, which reads: "Using the ancients as a mirror, you can see the rise and fall!"

"Tsk tsk, the effect of this advertisement is absolutely awesome, it's full of force~"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the two mirrors on the left and right, and then looked at the words on both sides, and he was even more proud immediately. Then he looked back at the officials who were getting closer and said to Liu Jin and others immediately: "Retreat~"

Here in the square outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers are forming a team. According to the rank, the civil and military ministers are lined up, waiting for the start of the morning court.

Soon, the officials of Honglu Temple came out to "sing" and officially announced that the officials would enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony for the morning court.

The civil servants are led by Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the natural cabinet, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang, and the military attaches are headed by British Duke Zhang Mao and Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu.

As usual, everyone walked this road countless times, almost able to walk with their eyes closed, and soon reached the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"This…"

Liu Jian looked at the big mirror in front of him, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

It's not that there is such a thing at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony that it feels awkward, but the big mirror in front of him is so clear that it reflects everything about Liu Jian.

The bright red robe was embroidered with birds and beasts. Under the black gauze hat on the head, there was an old face. It could be clearly seen that the temples were already pale, and even the beard was already grey.

He had never seen himself so clearly, until this time he realized that he was quite old.

Liu Jian didn't stay too long, because Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others behind him had also noticed the mirror, and they all had their eyes widened. Live and look in the mirror.

Some people couldn't help straightening their clothes, some couldn't help but straighten their hats slightly, and some stroked their beards to make them look more tidy.

Time is limited, so it can only be like this for the time being, but every minister who passed by has deeply remembered this mirror in his mind at this time, and is going to study it after the next court.
