Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

As for the dissatisfied question of the Yangzhou imperial minister, Li Wangyou was too lazy to respond, and turned around and planned to leave.

Great Tang ambassadors are usually assassins or other high-ranking officials. They mainly represent the prefectures and counties to participate in various ceremonial activities of the court, respond to the examinations of local officials, and bring local tributes to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination. , And convey the opinions of the state and county people.

This Yangzhou imperial envoy is an official position under the Fifth Rank.

Seeing that Li Wangyou was about to leave, the Yangzhou imperial ambassador was still reluctant, raising the volume and asking: “Dare to ask Count of Hu, but my Yangzhou tribute Jiang Xinjing, what flaws caused Count of Hu is laughing? Please Count of Hu to correct one or two!”

His this remark naturally attracted the attention of many people in the hall, and even Li Er above the Imperial ranks voted He looked at and explored what happened.

Li Wangyou didn’t want to be troublesome. He laughed out just now, and he has nothing to do with this Jiang Xinjing who is paying tribute to Yangzhou.

However, this Yangzhou imperial ambassador’s reluctance made him a little annoyed.

Li Wangyou turned around and smiled indifferently: “This Jiangxin mirror is very nice and well made, with exquisite workmanship. This satin mirror, with four satin mirrors surrounding the mirror surface, has different poses and unique charm. It can be said that it was cast in Guangling City, and it was sent in Linghuaxie. But…”

His previous admiration, but he heard that the Yangzhou imperial envoy was nodded again and again, thinking it was Li Wangyou’s apology in disguised form. Discourse. In particular, the phrase “casting the mirror in Guangling City, the hair in the Linghua Box” made his eyebrows excited.

But Li Wangyou followed the phrase “but”, which made his smile froze again.

“But what?”

Li Wangyou raised his eyebrows: “But you seem to have forgotten, what is the purpose of copper mirror.”

“en? Count of Hu What do you mean by this?” Yangzhou Chaoji Envoy is unclear.

Li Wangyou was about to answer that the most basic function of a mirror is to illuminate people clearly, but when he reached the point of his mouth, he suddenly saw Li Er on the imperial stage, and he couldn’t help but spoof.

“With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed up; with ancient times as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; with people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses.” Li Wangyou said resolutely: “You still dont understand, copper mirror has What’s the use?”

He said this is a spoof.

Because the “original author” of this remark was Li Er himself above the Imperial Order. This remark was made by Li Er after the death of Wei Zheng in the 17th year of Zhenguan. The result was It was plagiarized in advance by Li Wangyou shameless.

Yangzhou Chaoji Envoy was started by Li Wangyou this remark.

Count of Hu this remark, it seems to be very high. Using copper as a mirror, history as a mirror, and people as a mirror, the generalization is quite thorough.

The numerous officials around who watched the excitement were also shocked by Li Wangyou’s words, and they all began to lower their heads to ponder the implications.

Li Er, above the Imperial Order, hearing this, walked down the Imperial Order quickly, excited: “Okay! Ziyou said this in my heart! With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes. ; Using ancient times as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; people as a mirror, we can know the gains and losses, these three mirrors are really wonderful!”

Li Wangyou snickered in his heart, isnt Li Er nonsense? You said this yourself, I just said it in advance for you.

“Mi Tuo, take a pen and paper!” Li Er repeated the reading several times, but felt uncomfortable, so he immediately greeted Mi Tuo, fetched paper and pen, and wrote this remark directly with a few strokes. .

“Okay! Ziyou’s words are great! Mi Tuo, frame this character for me, hang it in the Palace of the Legislative Council, I will try to figure it out every day, and save myself three times.” Li Er continued to instructed.

Seeing Li Er’s admiration of Li Wangyou’s words made everyone in the hall show admiration.

This Count of Hu is really amazing. A casual sentence can attract His Highness so much. It really is Heaven Warping Genius.

As for this sentence, since Li Er appreciates it so much, it is naturally kept in mind by the officials, and he plans to try it out carefully when he returns.

Li Wangyou didnt expect, he just spoofed Li Er, and he pirated what he said in advance, and he even pretended to be forced…

Li Er After appreciating the words I wrote, he waved his hand to let Mi Tuo put it away, and then smiled and looked towards Li Wangyou: “Ziyou, you must not talk about it. Since you said that you use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes. Then I ask you What’s the problem with this Jiang’s state of mind that Yangzhou pays tribute?”

Yangzhou Chaoji Envoy came to the reaction, and he was fooled by Li Wangyou’s words just now, and was still to waste time on an insoluble or insignificant problem I was thinking about taking history as a mirror and people as a mirror, but forgot to ask Li Wangyou about this remark. What does it have to do with the purpose of copper mirror?

As reminded by Li Er, the Yangzhou Chaoji Envoy came back to his senses and looked towards Li Wangyou: “Count of Hu, what you just said is really thought-provoking, and someone admires it very much. But this is with you What does the purpose of the copper mirror have to do with it? Im Yangzhou Gong mirror, whats wrong?”

Li Wangyou laughed: “With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes, but the key is to make it clear. Ah. But when I look at the Yangzhou tribute mirror, the surface of the mirror is not very clear, and the picture is blurred. How can I dress up?”

His words immediately made Yangzhou Chaoji anxious: “Count of Hu, how do you dare to humiliate my Yangzhou tribute mirror like this? Lets take a look, above this hall, the copper mirrors for tribute from various states are clearer than my Yangzhou tribute mirror?”

Of course there is nothing wrong with the hundreds of copper mirrors in the main hall, and Yangzhou tribute mirror should be the first. Not only the workmanship is exquisite, the mirror surface is also the brightest polished.

Li Wangyou nodded: “Yes, if it is the copper mirror in this hall, Yangzhou tribute mirror is the best. But…”

Yangzhou Chaoji directly rolled the eyes, sure enough, are “but” again…

He directly asked: “but what?”

“hehe, but compared to the mirror I was going to dedicate to Your Majesty Its too far to get up.”

The words of Li Wangyou made Yangzhou Chaoji anxious: “Count of Hu, be careful! Do you dare to boast such Haikou?”

Even Li Er on the side could not help shaking his head: “Ziyou, don’t talk such big talk. In Chang’an City, there is really no better than Yangzhou craftsman. Where can you make it? A better copper mirror than Yangzhou Gongjing?”

Cheng Yaojin, the old fogey, is not too much to watch the excitement, so he came over: “wow hahaha, Ziyou, I don’t believe you!” But now that you have said so, and you have several points of grasping if you want to come, then quickly present you to the copper mirror of Your Majesty, I will give you a judgement and see how it compares with Yangzhou Gongjing.”

Cheng Yaojin’s words also made the officials in the hall nodded, and even Li Er are slightly nodded, indicating that Li Wangyou can send his copper mirror first.

In this regard, Li Wangyou can only shrug his shoulders helplessly: “Since Uncle Cheng has said so, the little nephew sent his own copper mirror. Please take a look at Uncle and the public. Compare this How about Jiang Xinjing.”

Not long after, a shocking scene appeared.

The copper mirrors of the Tang Dynasty were all about the same size. The largest copper mirror unearthed in later generations, with a large double fish pattern, was only 43 cm in diameter and 12 kg in weight. After all, manufacturing copper mirror requires a large amount of copper material, and the limitations of the manufacturing process make it impossible to have a copper mirror that is too large.

And Li Wangyou was preparing to present the copper mirror to Li Er, but after being carried up to the hall by several servants in the palace, the size shocked everyone……
