The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 677 Layout Begins

Under the setting sun, the freshly baked glass like transparent crystal exudes a dazzling brilliance. Ai Ze held it in his hands, and limply on the ground, tears crawled all over his cheeks at some point.

For nine whole nights, he was imagining what the transparent glass would look like after it was fired, but when he got it in his hand, he realized that all his fantasies were less than one-ten-thousandth of the things in front of him. The fundamental reason was that , With this thing, Ai Ze knew that his life should be saved.

But Li Muyun didn't show any special behavior after seeing the diamond-shaped glass block. He just put it in his hand and looked it up, put the case aside, and said to the haggard Ai Ze: "I've worked hard for you during this time, here's Three days of vacation, you can use this time to take a good rest, after three days, I need you to make this thing into a square tablet."

"Ping, tablet?" Ai Ze's almost numb mind couldn't react to what Li Muyun was saying, but luckily he knew that his life was saved.

"Yes, a flat plate, just like this table, the thickness, it's just as thick as this." Li Muyun said while comparing a small distance between his thumb and index finger, and then said in a non-surprising way: " Just make it six feet square."

'Plop', Ai Ze didn't even fart, and in great grief, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

The biggest glass he has burned in his life is no more than half a foot long. He really doesn't know how to make colored glass that is six feet square and two copper coins thick. This is no longer within his ability, except for fainting. I really can't think of any other words to express my greetings to the eighteen generations of Li Muyun's ancestors.

Xiong Da, who was standing outside the door, heard the voice and glanced into the study, curled his lips in disdain: "Counsel."

Xiong Er entered the study room without saying a word, lifted Ai Ze who was lying on the ground with one hand, pinched it under his arm, and strode out.

After coming to the palace, the two did not have a high monthly rate, but compared with the past, the life in the palace was undoubtedly much more peaceful, no one chased them, and they didn't have to hunt and kill others. The biggest task in a short time was to help the inside That young master just guard the door.

Although this kind of life is a bit dull, it is better than ease. Li Muyun treats the people in the mansion very kindly, as long as you finish your work, he will never come to ask you what you are doing.

Moreover, there is enough wine and meat in the palace. When they are not on duty, they can get a pork leg and cook it in a big pot, and then ask the back kitchen for two catties of stuffed donkeys. The two brothers can easily pass the day time.

It is worth mentioning that the pig legs in Li Muyun's house are a bit big. The whole pig has its head removed, then divided into two vertically from the middle, and then cut horizontally from the middle, one pig becomes four pig legs.

Yes, you read that right, in his house, a pig has only one head and four legs, and nothing else.

So even though Xiong Da Xiong Er is already very edible, a pork leg can eat the two of them straight to death.

On this day, after Ai Ze passed out, the two brothers got the permission of the prince and could rest for another day, so after carrying the unpopular barbarian to the guest room and leaving it, the two got some more Wine and meat, sit together and set up a dragon gate formation.

"Hey..." Xiong Da took a sip of the nearly 50-degree stuffy donkey, grinned his teeth and breathed out alcohol, and finally sighed: "I've fallen, if this continues, I'm afraid all my efforts will be wasted. "

"Hehe..." Xiong Er looked at his elder brother, smiled hehe, stuffed a piece of pork belly dipped in garlic sauce into his mouth, and said in a squeak, "Brother, you said that our life is now considered stable. Don't go back and bring your family back."

Speaking of family members, Xiong Da was silent for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "I'm afraid it's not good right now? We're new here. Although that master looks easy to talk to, no one knows what will happen if he loses his temper. I think we should Be careful."

Xiong Er shook his head: "I don't think this is necessary. I have also inquired in the mansion these days. The person we serve is actually very easy-going. Even if he loses his temper, he will kick him a few times at most."

Xiong Da took a sip of wine silently, licked his lips and did not speak. As the eldest brother, he had a lot to consider. The second brother could be impulsive, but he couldn't.

As the saying goes, it's hard to paint a tiger with skin and bones, knowing people and faces without knowing the heart, although Li Muyun is very appetizing to the two brothers after getting in touch with him, but bringing the whole family over is another matter.

After all, if there are only two brothers who are working under Li Muyun's hands, why not be dissatisfied? Slap your ass and leave, but it will be different if you bring the family back. When the time comes, with the ties of the family, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to leave , and if the two brothers really caused any trouble, they might even implicate their family members.

But Xiong Er obviously had a different idea from his elder brother. Seeing that Xiong Da remained silent, he continued: "Brother, I know you are afraid that your family members will become hostages if they come to Chang'an, but think about it, he is the king of the county. Does this make things difficult for us? Besides, we have been away from home for many years, and I am really worried about our father and the others."

"It's hard to say, parents and the others are not too young, who knows that the two of them will have a few more years to live, if there is something good or bad, don't you regret it?"

'Bang' the cup in Xiong Da's hand was put down heavily by him, and Xiong Er's words were also interrupted by him. After looking at each other for a long time, Xiong Da sighed and said: "I understand what you said, but I always feel a little uncomfortable. Don't worry, there are dragons and snakes in Chang'an City, and there are many enemies between the two of us, father, mother and sister are here, who knows if someone will recognize them and attack them?"

Xiong Er was a little shaken by what was said, and said with some uncertainty: "I guess not? We are from the Xiaoyao Palace, and there is that insignificant person who dares to touch us."

Xiong Da said: "It is necessary to guard against others! But you are right, our parents have not enjoyed any blessings with us, if the time is right, it is not impossible to take them over."

Xiong Er Er was a little disappointed that his goal was not achieved: "Well, let's leave it like this for the time being."

Xiong Da didn't feel anything at all, and after a long meal, he patted his second brother on the shoulder: "Don't worry, kid, it's actually easy to say, if we behave well, we can be a part-time official. When the time comes, go to see their elders and younger sisters, that's called scenery, don't you think?"

"Li'er is so reasonable, but God knows how long we will be able to get ahead. What if we wait another ten or eight years?" Xiong Er scratched his head and said with a sigh.

In fact, Xiong Er's worry didn't last long. Early the next morning, the hangover brothers were called up by the butler Lao Xia, saying that the prince was looking for them.

Li Muyun's words were nothing, and the Xiong brothers were extremely depressed, but after all, they were earning their jobs, so they had to go, so the two brothers washed up hastily, and then followed Lao Xia to Li Muyun's study.

Li Muyun was very friendly. When he saw the two of them coming in, he pointed to the chair in the room and said, "Sit down, I've asked you two brothers to come over today to discuss something with you. You can think about whether you want to take this task or not."

Xiong Er didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Muyun's gourd, so he naturally wouldn't just sit down, but after saluting, he declined and said, "My lord, there's no need, we can just stand."

"Well, you can do whatever you want." Li Muyun didn't force them, he picked up two thin pieces of paper from the table and handed them to them, "Let's take a look at this."

Xiong Er suspiciously took two steps forward and took the two pieces of paper into his hand. When he looked down, he froze, his hands trembling, as if the paper in his hand weighed a thousand catties.

Xiong Da felt that something was wrong, and leaned up from behind to see what it was, but when he saw it, he froze instantly just like Xiong Er.

But I saw that what Xiong took in his second hand was nothing else, but two confession documents. From the position of the sixth rank and the red official seal, people would be dizzy. The Xiong brothers almost thought they were in a dream.

The official position of the sixth rank does not seem high, but the Xiong brothers know that in their hometown, Lao Tzu, the county magistrate, is only a seventh rank. They are real officials of the Tang Dynasty. If they return to their hometown, the arrogant county magistrate will have to greet them and salute them when they see them from afar.

As the saying goes, if you learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family, in the Tang Dynasty, a country where officials are the standard, these two confession documents are enough for the two to return to their hometowns and honor their ancestors.

'Plop' 'Puff',
After a long time, the Xiong family brothers finally came to their senses, both of them were half shorter, and after paying homage, they said in unison: "My two brothers died in service of the prince!"

"Okay, get up, no one will let you die." Li Muyun waved his hands indifferently, no matter in the past or now, the two official positions from the sixth rank have never been in his eyes.

But the Xiong brothers are different. They are natives of the Tang Dynasty, and the official position of the sixth rank is more important to them than their lives. Therefore, the two brothers no longer have the same calm and serious faces as before. He promised at the same time, and after getting up, an expression of willingness to die appeared on his face at the same time.

There is no free meal in the world. Although the two brothers don't know this famous saying, they know the truth of it.

Obtaining the official position from the sixth grade for nothing, naturally they have to pay the same price as the other. When the two brothers said that they were willing to die for Li Muyun, they were really ready to die.
