Best Evil Emperor

Chapter 88 Treasure Mirror
"Young man Jerry presents a royal saber, a precious mirror, and four bottles of fine wine. I wish the emperor peace." The little eunuch roared again in a drake-like voice.

Jerry mentioned that Frante produces wine, but we only have it in the Western Regions, and ordinary ministers seldom drink it.

Although there were not many gifts, but there was an imperial saber among them, so the weight was quite different.According to the Hua Ming Dynasty's practice, handing over the weapon represented bowing down, so the emperor was very happy, and the queen mother also showed a smile.Seeing Longyan Dayue, all the civil and military officials present who knew how to observe words and expressions began to jump out one after another to congratulate the majestic father, the emperor laughed happily when he heard it, and said in person: "Let Yu'er read out my will. "

This time it was my turn, I immediately got up and stood in front of the emperor, respectfully received an imperial decree from the eunuch, and began to read it aloud.The first time I use Chinese, I have to let everyone listen to it.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's decree said: Foreign distinguished guests Jerry and Thomas, who have traveled across the ocean and experienced thousands of dangers, come to Huaming Dynasty as our guests, and give some rare gifts. Jietang and Tang have made great contributions, and they are specially bestowed with a thousand taels of gold and brocades. A hundred horses. This is it."

Hearing the reward, the two foreigners burst into smiles and shouted to their father, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

When the courtiers saw that the opportunity had come, they all knelt down on the ground in a hurry, and once again wished my emperor's holy power to influence strangers from outside the world.I thought to myself how can I flatter so neatly, I looked at the Empress Dowager, she was nodding slightly, it seemed that arrangements had been made long ago.I stood at the head of my father, and of course there was no need to kneel down to proclaim the decree. Looking at the backs of a large group of officials below, I started to think wildly again.

After receiving the imperial decree, the two foreigners sat in the seats in the envoy area and began to talk to each other in English. I could tell from their expressions that they were very happy. Just joking, the bounty is not a small amount.

In the next program, I will introduce some people's sentiments in Frante in Chinese. After a few perfunctory words, I immediately said to my father: "Father, my son has something to report."

"What is Yu'er playing?" Father was very satisfied with my performance, and looked at me with a smile.

"The two distinguished guests from other countries will return to China next year, and my son-in-law will also be able to leave the palace next year. I want to personally build a boat to send them back to their hometown, so as to show that Hua Ming Dynasty has good etiquette." As soon as I finished speaking, the audience began to discuss.

But Father knows me very well, he must know what I have planned, he is now in charge of everything, he listened to me, he laughed and said: "Zunzuo, tomorrow the Gongzhong Industrial Zone will be entirely up to you command."

I saw that the old woman didn't say anything, so I was secretly happy. I glanced at the second brother again. Thinking that this group of guys would not be sweet and would not help, I said to my father again: "Father, I heard from foreign envoys that the grape wine they send as tribute is different from the wine from the Western Regions. It does not mean that the longer the storage period, the stronger the fragrance. It's better to give it to all officials to drink and have fun together."

When the father heard it, he laughed again: "Okay! The fifth prince, Yu'er, has given me a bottle of fine wine for his merit in translating, and the rest will be opened for all officials to drink together." Now everyone's eyes lit up, and they knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness.I found that many pairs of eyes glanced at me at this time, and they were all approving eyes, which made me very happy.

Although Jerry’s family background is not good, he is still a person who drank wine with the king after all, and he has high requirements for wine. The bottles he presented are all top-quality wines in his opinion, so I will rest assured that he will offer them to drink together .Although the wine bottle is quite big, four bottles of wine are not enough for hundreds of people. If the bottle given to me is taken out, what is left is simply a drop in the bucket.Although each person can only get a small glass, but this kind of fine wine is hard to come by, and they also have a satisfied expression on their faces.

Not long after, the rich aroma of wine filled the entire hall, and it was impossible to tell whether it was from the Western Regions or Farland.Several officials with relatively heavy alcohol addiction were even more intoxicated.

At the order of the father, the audience stood up and raised their glasses to drink together.I had already whispered the difference between the two wines in the ears of my father and the old woman, otherwise there would be a commotion if I drank it in one gulp.

The courtiers were not mentally prepared, and some of them almost vomited out what they drank.These are two bottles of vintage dry red wine, one of the specialties in Flanders. The sugar content is extremely low. According to the previous life level, it is only below [-]%. If you drink it rashly, it will be sour and astringent. You must shake it in the air After a while, when in contact with oxygen for a while, a strong aroma will be emitted, and the taste will also improve.Take a small sip and the aftertaste will also be intoxicating.

I spit it out, but seeing that my father didn't make any movement, everyone didn't dare to express anything, they were all trying to figure out how to rinse their mouths.

Those who were annoyed that they didn't get the good wine just now are now congratulating themselves for their good luck. They probably think that the wine has gone bad. According to the saying, these people are: treasures and treasures.

The wine was also drunk, and then a few maids unfolded several scrolls, and Yulan and I began to introduce to everyone.

According to the arrangement, we mainly introduce some local customs and customs of Frante. Following the map that I don’t know whether it is correct or not, we talk about it one by one. With the drawn characters and architectural styles, it shocked the ministers in the field. definitely.

Leaving aside that they are different from us in science and technology, we will introduce in detail some of their unbelievable customs, such as doing stomach push-ups after eating, and other strange habits. From time to time, there will be an exclamation or a burst of laughter.Father Huang also stroked his few strands of beard and whispered something to the old woman. It seemed that they, like everyone else, were greatly surprised by what we said.

I looked around the audience, and found that these ministers and the royal family were very hypocritical, with a superficial smile on their faces. Hey, in the struggle for survival in the palace, sometimes you can live longer by changing your mask.

It took more than half an hour to roughly introduce all the information about Frant that we know.Because Yulan is the head of the translation office, she will tell most of the narration. Sometimes she can't say it, so I will add a few words. This baby cooperates well with me. The father and the old woman are sitting on it, I am afraid that they will rush over and ask us to explain the wonderful place in detail several times. These people also like to brag and fart. I am afraid that the story they heard today is their gossip after dinner. .

As soon as we finished speaking, the Sixth Imperial Sister appeared on the stage at this time. Although she was not favored by her father, she was still an imperial daughter, but we, the princess of the Hua Ming Dynasty, had to call her for such a big event. This time she It is probably the meaning of the old woman. The old woman usually does not show preference to the princes and daughters, and treats them equally. This is quite fair, which is just right. Otherwise, it would be difficult to help my two princes with her power. up.

This Sixth Younger Sister is very shy, she may have been trained, but her posture this time is dignified. She is holding the translation score that we have bound into a book in the translation hall and dedicated it to Father Emperor. The name of this book is my choice. Yes, I originally wanted to get some dictionary, but after thinking about it, they don’t understand what a dictionary is. It’s not appropriate to say it. It’s better that the translation spectrum is easier for people to understand. Anyway, this book is a translation of Chinese and English.

Father saw that it was this Dongdong, Longyan was very happy, and today was a big banquet, he didn't want to lose face, so he rewarded Sixth Sister heavily.And promoted her to be the ambassador of Zhengshu. The original ambassador of Zhengshu has already retired and returned to his hometown. It just happened to be vacant, and this position is very high. It is responsible for managing various copywriting in the palace. All kinds of deeds, that is, the history of this dynasty, of course she is not in charge of writing, the person in charge of writing is called the snake historian, I have known it before, the difficult old eunuch who gave me the token last time wanted to write about the harem in this history The last one, now that the sixth emperor sister is in charge of this work, it will be much more convenient to open the back door in the future.

I used to have a hunch that she would help me one day, and sure enough, now that she has an official position, I will make more use of this advantage in the future.

At this time, a man came out from among the officials, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Long live, the old minister has something to say." I don't know this minister, and I don't know what he does.

Father Huang glanced at him, waved his hand, and signaled him to speak out.

"Chen Mingde, the translation score presented by Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess just now is the link between foreign countries and my Huaming Dynasty. I have a great country, but there is no Chinese dictionary, and there are thousands of languages ​​in the country. There is no standard , so that the north and the south cannot know each other, and it is difficult for the east and the west to communicate with each other. I have the courage to ask the emperor to issue an order to compile the code of my Huaming, search the source of words and vocabulary, and pass them on to future generations so that everyone knows them. At that time, my emperor can enjoy this unworldly achievement .”

"That's right, what Aiqing said is justified, and he will play it. He named De as the code maker, and he was appointed as the general manager of the code. The Ministry of Officials sent people to check the records of the world. The name of the code is "Father Emperor" for a period of ten years. After thinking about it, I didn't know what to name it, so I blurted out: "Why don't we call it the Chinese Dictionary."

"Yu'er, this name is very wonderful. Let's call it the Great Chinese Dictionary. You will start working on it tomorrow. I was stunned when I heard it. I didn't expect that the name I just said casually would be settled like this. Could it be the Chinese dictionary of my previous life?" I really invented the name? That's cool.

But this man named De is very far-sighted, presumably a talent, I have a chance to get to know him.

The next step is to appreciate the treasures of other people, that is, the bronze mirror. The clear mirror caused a sensation in the audience. The mirrors we generally use in the Hua Ming Dynasty are all polished bronze mirrors. Even the best craftsmanship, and this Compared with the clarity of a mirror, it is also very different.I heard that many concubines wanted to ask Father for it, but he didn't agree to it. It seems that it is too easy to use, and there is only one side, Father is not willing to give it away.

It was the first time I saw this mirror, and I was taken aback, not because I had never seen a glass mirror, but because the craftsmanship contained in this mirror really made me salivate.The color of the glass, the uniformity of the coating, and the smoothness of the surface all greatly exceeded the production capacity of this dynasty. After chatting with two foreigners for so long, I didn't realize that the level of craftsmanship on the glass had reached such a high level.

If I come to remake this kind of situation, I can become the founder of the invention again. I don’t know if those two strangers know how to make a mirror. If they know, it can save me a lot of time and energy. Next time I have to ask carefully while chatting, maybe I can learn some manufacturing methods.

After these things are done, the next banquet will be a feast of singing and dancing, with a mix of toasts and cups.These programs used to be fresh, but now I'm tired of watching them. I was so bored, but I couldn't leave the show early, so I had to chat with Xia Yi who kept asking questions until the end.
