The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 678 Qibao
One promise, one thousand gold, light life and heavy righteousness may seem like a joke to later generations, but to the ancients, it is a real thing.

Zeng Zi killed the only pig in the family for his wife's words; Zhong Ziqi specially repaired the tomb by the riverside to fulfill the agreement; Yu Boya broke the strings of the piano for Zhong Ziqi, and never played again; But it was washed away by the flood; Han Xin gave a thousand gold as a gift to the old woman who gave him a meal at the beginning... Whether it is a legend or a real history, the integrity of the ancients can be said to be pen and paper.

Of course, some people can say that those things are all out of political needs, but the problem is that the modern people of later generations are indeed not as good as the ancient people 300 years ago.

The ancients were ignorant and barbaric, but modern people are indeed missing a lot of things. People usually say that the five elements are immoral, and everyone thinks it is a joke, but the reality is not the same.

Electric vehicles walk through the motorway at will, and motor vehicles are parked in the middle of the road at will, treating other people's lives as nothing. Moral norms even need to rely on legal constraints.

Li Muyun came from a later generation. He liked the ancient people's habit of promises and gold, and he was also trying to make himself closer to the people of this era, so that he could keep his promises.

So after glancing at the Xiong family brothers, Li Muyun said formally: "I can tell you in advance that this mission is a bit dangerous. If you don't want to take it, I won't force you, and I won't take back the notice in your hand." Body papers, this is a reward for your last mission, not this mission."

The Xiong family brothers looked at each other, seeing the firmness in each other's eyes, Xiong Er suddenly smiled and said: "My lord, if you have any tasks, you can order them. Our brothers will die, and it is a great fortune to be appreciated by the lord. If you are half-hearted, If it spreads out, I’m afraid I’ll never have the face to be a human again.”

What Li Muyun said just now did not mean to be tempting. Seeing the arrogance of Xiong Er's words, he couldn't help but smiled slightly: "In that case, listen up, brothers. This time I need you to escort a person to Goguryeo. He is a businessman. You It is his guard, remember, to ensure his safety no matter what."

"Promise." The Xiong family brothers said in unison without any hesitation. Li Muyun's offer was so good that they had no reason to refuse it.

This pair of brothers wants to climb up, and they are very ambitious, which they both admit, so they don't think there is anything wrong with risking their lives.

The next thing was much simpler. The Xiong family brothers met Pei Xingjian who needed their protection.

Classmate Xiao Pei has a heavy responsibility this time, shouldering the heavy burden of disrupting Goguryeo's economy, reorganizing his luggage, and embarking on the journey in mid-December.

On the other side, Ai Ze finally lived up to his mission and fired the first flat piece of glass. Although the size did not meet Li Muyun's requirement of six feet square, it was still more than one foot.

The appearance of the glass made Li Muyun overjoyed, and Ai Ze's status also rose accordingly, almost equal to the three fat guys.

Of course, this is only a public status. If personal relationships are considered, even if Ai Ze has another ten or eight years, he may not be able to catch up with the relationship between the third fat man and Li Muyun.

After all, the two have been playing together since they were young, and they even peeked at the village widow taking a bath together, although they didn't see anything.

And after Li Muyun had the first finished product, he immediately arranged for people to expand Liulifang, from the original one kiln to five kilns, and depending on the trend, there is a meaning of continuing to expand.

Ai Ze didn't realize the importance of glass at this time, but it was very rare. With the improvement of his status in the palace, as more and more flat "glasses" were fired, he simply let the guy he hired Dispose of all the glass in the shop, then close the shop directly, and concentrate on burning glass for Li Muyun.

For Aize, money is important, but status is even more important. Anyway, how to make colored glaze is his own ability. If he wants to make money, there are still many opportunities in the future. At worst, after he gets married and has children, let his son make money.

As time goes by, December has already passed, and on New Year's Eve, His Majesty the Great Emperor once again hosted a banquet for his ministers.

Naturally, the courtiers will not eat free food, and they will also offer gifts when they have the opportunity, but most of these things are meanings, or calligraphy and painting, or brush and ink, in short, there is no such thing as gold or silver.

Therefore, Li Muyun, the guy who let the four imperial guards carry a huge gift that was as tall as a person and three feet wide, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone guessed what Li Muyun brought, but because it was covered with colorful silk, no one could figure it out, so there were different opinions for a while, and finally they agreed that it should be a screen or coral.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear his curiosity, and while his old man wasn't paying attention, he sneaked up to Li Muyun's side and asked, "I said, what kind of thing are you? Could it really be a screen?"

"The screen?" Li Muyun glanced at Li Chengqian proudly: "Let me tell you, this thing is counted in the whole world, only this one, it can be said that there is no such thing in the sky, and there is no match in the earth. Even if I tell you, you will not Know."

"Is it true? There is only one in the whole world?" Li Chengqian was a little unconvinced. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian believed that there was nothing in this world that he didn't know.

But having said that, Li Muyun is known as a genius, and he will often come up with some inexplicable things. He said that there is no match in the world, maybe he really is the matchless in the world.

When Li Shimin saw the giant gift, he had already focused on Li Muyun. Relying on his status as Li Yuan's adopted son, this guy was not far from Li Er. Although Li Chengqian's doubts were not loud, they still spread. In his ears, it also made him more curious.

Therefore, the great imperialist leader pressed his hands on the officials below, and after everyone calmed down, he looked at Li Muyun and asked: "What tricks are you going to do again, why don't you lift it up and let me see that you are unparalleled in the world!" How shocking the world is, how is it!"

"Good luck, Your Majesty! Good luck, Empress!" Li Muyun first stepped forward to salute with a playful smile, and then waved to the four strong imperial guards. After a while, the huge gift had been carried to the center of the hall. Even the maids who were dancing were pushed aside.

Then Li Muyun raised his head and chest, and walked to the side of the gift covered with colored silk, and said in a bull,, forced,,, bombing tone: "Your Majesty, please look!"

'Wow', the colored silk was pulled hard by Li Muyun, and the whole part fell off, and a large mirror about seven feet high was exposed in the middle, which reflected all the people and things in the entire hall clearly and brilliantly.

"Hiss..." The main hall is full of prominent figures, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as well-informed.

But even so, these people were still stunned by the big mirror. A few old guys who were twirling their beards and waiting to see Li Muyun make a fool of themselves could not even feel that they had pulled off their beards, but they didn't react at all.

Li Shimin, who is well-informed, was taken aback at this time, the mirror was placed facing him, and the moment the colored silk was uncovered, he saw everything in the mirror from inside.

This is the first time Li Shimin saw his own reflection so clearly. Before the mirror appeared, he wanted to see his own appearance clearly. painting.

But all three methods have their disadvantages. Although the bronze mirror is good, the shadows cast by that thing are blurry, and you can only see some things clearly. Although the reflection in the water is good, you can only look down. Ya, and Lao Yan's paintings... Well, that guy doesn't know how to draw realistically at all, and the things he draws are always exaggerated.

Therefore, when His Majesty the Great Emperor saw himself in the mirror for the first time, he was stunned. After a while, he raised his hand and waved it in disbelief, and found that the person in the mirror waved his hand like him. That's why you believe what you see is real.

It has to be said that when Li Muyun said that this thing is unparalleled, Li Er did not believe it at first, but now he has to believe that this thing is indeed unparalleled. Looking at himself in the mirror where even the hairs are clearly visible, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but stand up. He raised his chest and put on a look that he thought was more handsome.

And it wasn't until this time that the ministers below also reacted and expressed their surprise.

Cheng Yaojin even jumped directly in front of the mirror, scratching his head and making poses, making some meaningless noises from time to time, probably to praise his 'beauty'.

Changsun Wuji walked up awkwardly, looked at himself in the mirror, and murmured, "This, isn't this the fairy's treasure?"

And following Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin, more people got up from their seats and went to the mirror to look at themselves, although some of them only showed their official hats.

Li Chengqian was also very curious, at first he tried to go up to have a look, but was soon knocked out by a butt from nowhere, and pitifully looked at Li Muyun who was also squeezed out.

The huge mirror should have two sides, but for the sake of looking good, Li Muyun specially put the two mirrors together back to back, so no matter the front or the back, people can be clearly reflected.

Li Shimin admired himself for a while on the side of the mirror, and was soon startled by a group of "rebellious officials" on the opposite side. Out of love for the "treasure", he waved decisively: "Come here, take this treasure away."

Following an order, the four imperial guards stepped forward again, lifted the mirror without any explanation, and left, leaving everyone behind with sighs of regret.
