Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 314 Don't Underestimate

Crown Princess Zheng really hated her more and more.

But she has nothing to do with Dugu Lanruo. In terms of status, although Dugu Lanruo is not the daughter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, she has the personal seal of the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty and her last words.And right now, she is a titled princess, no weaker than the crown princess, but the willow tree is even more terrifying.

In terms of military power, behind Liu Mu is the support of Qin Qiong, Li Daozong, Chai Shao and several other sons-in-law. These people control more than 30 troops.

That's it, not counting the Prince Qin's Mansion.

Looking at this moment, Qin Wangfei's eldest grandson Wugou, with his eyes slightly closed, was holding a teacup with both hands, enjoying the fragrance of tea.

The princess had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood.

What Crown Princess Zheng didn't know was that Prince Li Jiancheng had already vomited blood in the main hall of Tai Chi Hall.

I saw Liu Mu rolling all over the floor, crying like a child.

What's even more exasperating is that Qin Wang Li Shimin acted like nothing happened, sitting on the side chatting with Xiao Yu.On the contrary, Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was sitting on the ground and was persuading Liu Mu with a pleasant face.

"Xiaomu, don't make any more trouble. At most, the emperor promises you that the market at the Jinghe Wharf can turn off the lights until the third watch every five or ten, and the wharf can stay open all night." After Li Yuan persuaded, Liu Mu really stopped making trouble.

Li Yuan said again: "On New Year's Eve, what does it look like to cry and scream like a child. Father heard that you replaced the land of Zhiyefang. Father promised you that as long as you don't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you can do whatever you want."

"real."

"Of course, Father is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he speaks well." Li Yuan replied seriously.

Liu Mu turned over and got up: "Father, I have a gift for you in the New Year."

Li Yuan immediately pretended to be very angry: "Could it be that the emperor didn't agree with you about the Jinghe market, so you didn't have a gift for the emperor."

"That's okay, I'm going to get it." Liu Mu happily ran out of the hall.

Xiao Yu said to Li Shimin at this time: "His Royal Highness, have you seen it? What is it called? A crying child has milk to eat. You have to learn this from Liu Mu. He always cries at the most appropriate time." , to ask for some small rewards that are not important in the eyes of saints, but after several rewards have piled up, don't underestimate them!"

Don't underestimate three words, the essence of speaking.

These three words made Li Shimin feel deeply.

Liu Mu did not enter the palace alone, but brought a group of people, these were members of the imperial guards, and they were responsible for carrying Liu Mu's gift in.

A huge clock with a height of one foot and a dial of one foot in diameter.

Giving away a clock is very unlucky, so Liu Mu didn't call this thing a clock, but a timing sundial.

"What is this?"

"Father, it's for timing."

"How to time." Li Yuan couldn't understand how to use this big thing.

The one made of willow wood can be said to be made by high school students. The combination of the two devices is powered by a heavy hammer mechanism and an escapement device to maintain accuracy.

If you want to use it for a day and a night at a time, you can only make it so tall.

The cover on the back was opened, and the powerful Sergeant of the Imperial Army was responsible for winching the heavy hammer and placing the heavy hammer at the highest point.

Liu Mu stood in front: "Father, you only need to flick this lightly."

After the pendulum swayed, Li Yuan stared at the dial with a diameter of one foot.

Even if the craftsmen have already studied the gear set, Liumu can't make a watch with a second hand. There are only two hands here, one long and one short, one for minutes and one for hours.

Li Yuan stared at it for a full quarter of an hour, and he saw a small stick moving slowly.

"Xiaomu, tell Father Emperor."

"Father, this short stick represents minutes. It takes half an hour to walk around. I will divide it into sixty minutes. A quarter of an hour is a quarter of the dial, and a quarter of an hour is divided into fifteen minutes. .Then it takes six hours for the long needle to go around, and twelve hours for two rounds.”

"En, very good." Li Yuan walked to the back and asked Liu Mu to open the back cover and take another look.

Liu Mu stood aside and explained: "This is called the escapement device, which is the swinging iron block in front to keep the timing accurate. Then there is the double hammer device, which is responsible for providing the power for the pointer timing. After three hours, someone came to shift the gear lever."

Liu Mu demonstrated it, which was equivalent to switching to another heavy hammer to provide power, and then he could re-winch the one that had almost fallen to the ground.

Li Yuan asked in detail, and after asking, he said: "The sundial you made last time made Tai Shiling very interested. I will let Tianshi Yuan take a look at it later. I think it's good. If possible, make a bigger one. Put it outside the Suzaku gate so that the courtiers can know the time when they go to court."

"My son is under the command, and will arrange people to study it as soon as possible, and it will be ready before autumn."

"Well, I like this gift. Come here, carry it carefully to my study and arrange someone to take care of it." The more Li Yuan looked at this thing, the more he liked it.It is really a good thing to know the time at any time.

I saw Liu Mu rubbing his hands, and happily approached Li Yuan again: "Father, it's the New Year soon, don't you want to give out the New Year's money?"

"New year's money?" Li Yuanxin said, you still have the nerve to ask for new year's money.

"Under the crown." Liu Mu pointed to the top of his head, which means that I am still young, so I can ask for New Year's money.Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Come here, prepare a few pieces of red paper."

Li Yuan is smiling.

But Liu Mu's reaction made Li Shimin feel inexplicably nervous. Why did Liu Mu emphasize that he didn't reach the championship?

Seeing Li Shimin's reaction, Xiao Yu poured wine for Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness King Qin seems to be very concerned about Liu's son-in-law."

"He's going crazy, even he's afraid of himself." Li Shimin's comment made Xiao Yu laugh non-stop.

Sure enough, Liu Mu said to Li Yuan after receiving the New Year's money red envelope: "Father, after planting in the spring field, I want to go to the north to visit my eldest sister, and then go to Yunzhou to visit my second sister, and bring the goods by the way." Go north and do a little business."

"Very good, I should go and have a look." Li Yuanxin said that it would be better if you were not in Chang'an.

Liu Mu said again: "Father, the north is a bit chaotic, can I bring my [-] servants with me?"

"You need to ask for instructions on such trivial matters. I will give you another five hundred forbidden troops, and I will also arrange to go to the border gate on my behalf." Li Yuan thought carefully, and sent people to the border gate from time to time, first to check the defense, and second to express Chang'an still pays close attention to them.

At this time, Liu Mu immediately raised his mind: "Wei Zheng in the prison is a talent."

"He can't, the official position is too low."

"How about Wang Gui?" Liu Mu suggested again.

This time, Prince Li Jiancheng became calmer, because Liu Mulian mentioned that the two people were all from his prince's mansion, and Wang Gui was relegated to a small place to be the governor. He thought he would have no chance to return to Chang'an.
