This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 265, Volume 3: The Tribute Shocks Chang'an, Mobilizing the Gentlemen!

Chapter 265 Volume [-] Presents Shock Chang'an, Mobilizing the Gentlemen!
Naturally, Wang Dequan was also invited to today's banquet.

Not only him, but all envoys in Chang'an were invited.

This is the mind that a big country should have.

Speaking of which, it was also the first time for Wang Dequan to enter the palace. Before, he told those guys not to be ashamed, but now he himself was a little dazed.

At the moment of entering the palace, I was still thinking about whether to take the left foot or the right foot first.

But no one laughed at him. If we really want to talk about it, everyone can only envy him.

More than half a year ago, he was just a down-and-out businessman. By chance, he followed Li Chengqian, not to mention making money, but he suddenly became an official.

With the prosperity of the Ming court, this guy's future is immeasurable.

When they came outside the Tai Chi Palace, everyone entered the arena one by one.

This is still very particular. There are opinions about who sits in what position.

Of course, everyone did not come here empty-handed today.

Although it was a mid-autumn banquet, anyone with a brain would know what was going on.

This is Lao Li's family marrying a daughter-in-law, whoever has the guts to come here empty-handed.

Even those envoys brought some gifts.

But fortunately, this gift, as long as you like it, you don't mind whether it is expensive or not.

The only one who put a lot of thought into presents was probably the Ming court.

However, the purpose of their gifts was not because Lao Li's family married a daughter-in-law, but a serious Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

When Wang Dequan was announced into the palace, this guy was also very nervous.

No matter how sweet it is, it is the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair.

"Foreign ministers congratulate His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Princess Chang, and the Empress, and the Mid-Autumn Festival." After Wang Dequan said this, cold sweat broke out in his palms.

Dude, look how nervous he is.

After everyone heard this, they didn't laugh at him. Although what he said was wrong, for a guy like him who became a monk halfway through, in such an environment, there was nothing to be picky about being able to complete a sentence.

Besides, everyone also wanted to see what kind of congratulatory gift the Ming court had given.

They just took a cursory look at it just now, except for the thing that is far clearer than the bronze mirror, the rest of the things are also very curious.

"Your envoy is very polite." Li Er smiled, but he didn't take it to heart.

Wang Dequan thought that he had passed the test, so he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said: "The foreign minister is ordered by the two Highnesses, and there are some gifts to offer."

Li Er nodded, he was not embarrassed about the gifts presented by his children.

Empress Changsun watched all this with a smile on her face. As the Empress of Tang Dynasty, she is qualified to accompany Li Er to attend such banquets.

Seeing this, Wang Dequan turned his head and clapped his hands, and suddenly many people came in, carrying various boxes in twos.

They have been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Although it is just a porter's job, this job can be done anywhere, and everyone is extra nervous about doing this job in this Tai Chi Hall, for fear that something will go wrong.

And as they came in, the huge full-length mirror appeared in front of Li Er's eyes, and Li Er's eyes lit up immediately.

From his eyes, it is not difficult to see that this is a good thing.

Empress Changsun looked at this gorgeous mirror in surprise.

"What is this?" Li Er asked.

Wang Dequan heard the words and said: "Back to Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this thing is called the Dressing Pavilion, and it is the product of the ultimate craftsmanship of the Ming court. Although its function is the same as that of a bronze mirror, the effect is very different. This dressing The pavilion is His Royal Highness the eldest princess, dedicated to the empress, wishing the empress a healthy Mid-Autumn Festival."

In fact, this thing was not long after it was made, and Li Chengqian sent someone to send it quickly.

"Since it was a gift from the eldest princess of your country, I will accept it." The eldest grandson said very satisfied.

If it was a gift from someone else, she might still hesitate a bit. If it was a gift from her own daughter, is there any need to hesitate?
When everyone was still surprised that the dressing room could perfectly reflect the figure, the eldest grandson asked someone to carry it away. When everyone was feeling sorry, Li Er looked at a box that was revealed after the dressing room was carried away and asked: "What's in the box?"

"This object is similar to the previous dressing cabinet. If the dressing cabinet is a mirror that can straighten clothes, then this object is a pair of eyes, which can tell right from wrong within a thousand steps."

As he spoke, Wang Dequan walked over, opened the box, and took out a single-eye telescope from it.

At the moment, he was also emotional, and said: "So, this object is called Clairvoyance! It is His Royal Highness King Ming, and it is dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly and held it above his head with both hands.

Everyone was confused after hearing this, what the hell?Is it to distinguish right from wrong, and to be clairvoyant?

Li Er was also a little puzzled, and waved for the servant to fetch it.

When he got it, he didn't understand what it was all about, but when he accidentally picked up the clairvoyance, the scene in the hole surprised him. Looking intently, I saw that the people inside were getting bigger and bigger. After looking outside the hall, he put it down immediately and asked, "Do you know the mystery of this thing?"

"Of course the foreign ministers know about it. His Highness broke up with the foreign ministers when he wrote." Wang Dequan bowed his hands and saluted.

Li Er continued: "Who else knows about this thing?"

"The court officials of the Ming Dynasty don't know about it, but about the Tang Dynasty, only His Majesty knows about it." Wang Dequan said.

He felt a little regretful, even Datang should not have provided such a good thing.

But he didn't know that this was just the primary version of the telescope, and the distance was limited. Li Chengqian was currently researching the advanced version of the telescope. Such low-level products would probably be treasured by Ma Ye and the others.

Li Er nodded, but didn't say much. The main reason is that he is not good at interfering in the internal affairs of the Ming court. After putting away the telescope, he asked again: "What else?"

In the hall, the rest of the people were also curious, what was that thing just now?
They are not fools, it can be seen that Li Er attaches great importance to it, and ordinary people are not easy to open their mouths, but Yuchi Jingde asked carelessly: "Your Majesty, what kind of treasure was that just now? Let me open my eyes too?"

"Drink your wine, don't look at the occasion, just follow around!" Li Er's face turned dark, this guy, if you break his mind once, with his thick skin, he can keep pestering you all the time .

Yuchi Jingde wasn't embarrassed either, he understood right away, continued to drink with others while smiling, and looked at Wang Dequan from time to time.

There are really many good things in this Ming court.

Wang Dequan said with a smile: "The next thing is the music box. It is a gift from Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to the princes and princesses. There are 24 pieces in total."

This thing was indeed prepared by Chang Le, and it was brought long ago. Wang Dequan opened the box casually, took out a beautiful small box from inside, opened it again, took out a small box, and conveniently put a small wooden figure on it, and twisted it again. After a twist, only a pleasant voice sounded in the hall.

Compared with the clairvoyant that no one knew what it was before, it is obvious that this exquisite small box that makes noise immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Even Li Er and the eldest grandson looked at him in surprise.

"Why does this thing bark?" Yuchi Jingde asked in puzzlement.

When he asked this, everyone laughed.

Even the old-fashioned Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Mr. E is really heroic. How can he describe such a beautiful voice? But the old man is also curious, why this so-called music box can produce such a beautiful melody?"

"The doubts of the two dukes cannot be explained by the ministers." Wang Dequan laughed, "This object is another extreme of the Ming Dynasty's court craftsmanship. The ministers have not figured out the clues yet, but this object, in the Ming Dynasty Ting, but she is deeply loved by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

As soon as Li Er waved his hand, someone immediately took the music box from this box.

24 sticks are enough for his children.

"His Majesty……"

As soon as Yuchi Jingde opened his mouth, Li Er hurriedly said: "Shut up, for you, you won't be able to appreciate such a box that can be called."

After finishing speaking, Li Er looked at the two remaining boxes and asked, "Is there anything else, please show it to everyone."

Wang Dequan immediately opened another box, and saw that inside was an exquisite four-wheeled carriage model, which was much more exquisite than the one in Changle.

When everyone saw this, someone immediately said: "Absurd, this thing is just a miniature version of the car of the eldest princess of your country, how can it be presented to the Tang Dynasty as a national gift?"

"Is Cui Yushi too anxious?" Wang Dequan didn't have a good temper with this person. It was his Cui family who almost forced them to go bankrupt. It's strange to have a good temper. "This thing is just a model. Because the carriage was too big, foreign officials could not bring it into the palace.

This carriage is also the pinnacle of the Daming Royal Court's craftsmanship. The four-wheeled carriage has only been produced by the Daming Royal Court throughout the ages. Moreover, this carriage is also equipped with more advanced anti-shock facilities, which are even better than the previous rabbits. No less.

Sitting on it, traveling thousands of miles a day without feeling tired, is a small gift from His Royal Highness, King Tingming of the Ming Dynasty, to the Emperor and Empress of the Tang Dynasty. "

Everyone knows about the carriages of the Ming court.

The main thing is that the four-wheeled carriage is too rare.

But now, listening to what Wang Dequan said, it seems that it is not only four wheels, but also better than a two-wheeled carriage in terms of comfort?
This surprised everyone.

Wang Dequan was right in saying that this kind of carriage has indeed only been produced by the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty throughout the ages.

Recently, the craftsmen in Chang'an, even the generals of the imperial court, have imitated it, but they just can't do it.

Li Er nodded and said, "I have a heart."

Although this thing is of little use to him, it is indeed a child's heart.

The eldest grandson also smiled and said, "It's true."

As a mother, she must be able to feel the affection of the two children.

Not long after, another servant took the model carriage away.

One thing to say, this carriage model is indeed exquisite.

So far, there is only one box left in the hall.

If it is said that the first dresser is the head start, then what should be the finale?
At this moment, everyone's curiosity was aroused.

It has to be said that the successive gifts made everyone very curious about the Ming court.

Except for Li Er's clairvoyance that didn't let everyone see the clue, everything else opened their eyes.

Therefore, as the grand finale, everyone placed high hopes on it.

"Let's open the last one too." Li Er said with a smile.

Today, my son has given him a face.

Looking at the last box, Wang Dequan also gritted his teeth, but thinking of the anger he had suffered all these years, he immediately walked over and opened the box.

This box looks ordinary, and there are densely packed paper-like things in it.

Everyone looked at it, but shook their heads in disappointment.

As far as this thing is concerned, it cannot be said to be the finale.

Li Er is also a little confused, is that all?

We are looking forward to it one by one, so you just show me this?

But Wang Dequan said with a smile: "This thing is called a notebook, and it is another extreme craftsmanship of the Ming court." After speaking, Wang Dequan picked up a copy from it.

Not big, just as big as two slaps from an adult.

Seeing this, some people were displeased and said: "Let's not talk about the first few things, just this? Is it also the ultimate craftsmanship? In my Tang Dynasty, just find a workshop, isn't it better and more refined than yours? ?”

"This statement is wrong." Wang Dequan said, "This object is not only the ultimate in craftsmanship, but also the ultimate in the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, in order to popularize the culture of the Han family in the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty, His Highness specially compiled the Three Character Classic. The full text is nearly a thousand. The rest of the words were all carefully thought out by His Royal Highness.

Reciting it, even if it is catchy, it can also play a role in enlightenment.

For this reason, His Highness specially printed the Three Character Classic on the front page of this book, which can not only teach students, but also allow them to review the past and learn new things. Most importantly, this book is extremely convenient to use.

With the charcoal pencil specially prepared for this book, it can also be used at any time. "Speaking, Wang Dequan also took out a charcoal pencil from the notebook. Of course, the charcoal pencils today are different from those when Li Chengqian used them.

Hearing what he said, Zheng Xu shook his head and said, "Is there any extreme in Mengxue? Even I, Tang Dynasty, dare not say such a thing."

"Yes, there is no limit to learning, how can there be a limit?" Kong Yingda also stood up.

He and Zheng Xu have an opinion on this matter.

How can there be an extreme in learning?
The rest of the people also nodded, even though the Ming court did have a lot of magic, but in terms of knowledge, they really didn't like it.

As for a group of reckless people on the prairie, if it weren't for Li Chengqian's sake, what qualifications would they have to talk about learning?

Wang Dequan didn't mind, he said with a smile, "Have you ever seen this three-character scripture?"

"Why do you need to see it?" Zheng Xu said, "There is no one better than me in the Tang Dynasty! What kind of Three Character Classic, I have never heard of it, and dare to use it to deceive scholars all over the world?"

Zheng Xu actually didn't want to do that either, but learning is the foundation of their standing, and it's also the foundation of their gentry's standing. Now you talk about learning, even if it's just a beginner, he won't let it go easily!
"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Nature is similar, but habits are far away. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way of teaching is to specialize..." Wang Dequan recited these few sentences without haste, and said, "Doctor Zheng, is it not If you haven't heard of it, it's dross? Or, any knowledge has to be approved by Dr. Zheng before it can be called knowledge?
Although the foreign minister is from a businessman background, but just these few words, the foreign minister is deafening, why have you never heard of it?Should I say you are ignorant?Or should I say you are ignorant? "

Zheng Xu was stunned there.

what's the situation?
He didn't hear clearly what Wang Dequan said to reprimand him, but he was still immersed in those few sentences about the beginning of human beings and the inherent kindness of nature...

The rest of the people were also stunned, even Li Er and the eldest grandson were also stunned.

What level are they?
These few short sentences have already made them hear a lot.

Don't say anything catchy, and every sentence is not far from the way of enlightenment.

"Is this really what your King Ming did?" Li Er asked in disbelief.

Wang Dequan replied: "That's true. In the past, His Highness had a headache on how to govern the people of the Ming court, so he forgot to sleep and eat and wrote this three-character scripture. The full text is in these notebooks."

"Hurry up and bring it to me to have a look." Li Er excitedly said.

Soon, a servant brought it to Li Er.

The rest of the civil and military officials were also curious, and in the end, it was Wei Zheng who had the cheek to say: "I wonder if I can give the old man a copy?"

"Please, Mr. Wei." Wang Dequan bowed his hands and saluted.

Soon, other people followed suit, and everyone started to read a book.

From time to time, there are still people chanting.

Not long after, above the main hall was a crowd of people...

After an unknown amount of time, Li Eryi slapped the table and said, "This thing should be learned to the extreme!"

"Your Majesty's words are very true." Even Wei Zheng, who was the most eloquent in the ages, nodded and said, "In terms of format, the three words are catchy, and the writing is not only popular, but also smooth and easy to remember. The text also covers History, astronomy, geography, morality are even mixed with some folklore, if you are really familiar with the Three Character Classic, you can know the history of the ages!

With this action alone, His Highness is destined to be famous forever, and to be the first of its kind! "

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, many people nodded.

This thing really has this effect.

Of course, it is still worse than the real Three Character Classic.

Why do you say the real Three Character Classic?
Because of the so-called Three-Character Classic, well, Li Chengqian forgot too much, and couldn't remember clearly, he really made it up...

After all, the original version of the Three Character Classic contains more than this.

After Zheng Xu and the others heard this, they immediately felt something was wrong.

Li Chengqian's move was a big blow to their noble family.

You must know that the rich family of scholars relied on the continuation of monopoly knowledge.

What is Li Chengqian going to do?

Are you smart?

But can they deny the Three Character Classic?

No, denying the Three Character Classic is not denying their knowledge for so many years.

And at this moment, someone was surprised to find: "This is actually printed?"

When he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they looked at the notebook in their hands. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Especially Zheng Xu and others were stupefied.

"What is the price of this notebook?" someone asked.

This question is critical.

Even, it is related to the life and death of the gentry!

Everyone looked at Wang Dequan, wanting to get an answer.

"This is a congratulatory gift. It is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift presented by the Ming court to the Tang Dynasty." Wang Dequan said with a mysterious smile.

But I sneered in my heart, do you also have times of fear?
