Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 22: Many treasures are exquisite

Views:

The Duobao Linglong Pagoda is inextricably related to the Duobao Buddha and the Medicine Buddha. It is the so-called salvation of all living beings, the emergence of the six paths, and the reincarnation.

The multi-talented treasure also heralds the simple meaning of the great path to becoming a Buddha and the Holy Spirit. Today, the messenger of Guizi presented it with a hint of respect and recognition of the orthodoxy of the emperor and empress of the Tang Dynasty.

The Duobao Linglong Pagoda is also regarded as a treasure to ward off evil spirits, capable of suppressing all evil spirits and promoting righteousness forever.

The Buddhist and Taoist families each have several temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an City. The two families have always strived to recruit good men and women as their disciples. When it comes to grabbing resources, the officials have always been impartial, but the two families hope to get official support. .

The two multi-treasure exquisite pagodas of the Guizi Messenger are probably related to a newly opened temple in Chang'an City, hoping to have some connection with the royal family in order to combat the prosperity of local Taoism.

Li Hong smiled disdainfully when he looked at the texture of the Duobao Linglong Tower, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the glass craftsmanship was not as advanced as he thought.

By coincidence, Messenger Guizi caught the look of disdain on Li Hong's face, bowed to Li Hong and said proudly: "Don't you think this is a treasure, the king?"

Li Hong didn't want to cause trouble on his mother's happy day, not to mention that his little buttocks were almost bruised secretly by his mother, and his thighs were probably bruised as well. This was all used to punish him for causing trouble in the court today. Son, and the consequences of making money from the frying pan almost scared Wu Mei to death.

Secretly rubbing his little butt, he said with a relaxed expression: "The meaning of Duobao Linglong Pagoda is good. The Buddhist treasure refers to the pagoda itself rather than its texture. No matter what material it is made of, Duobao Linglong Pagoda has a good meaning." The pagodas are excellent tributes. Li Hong would like to thank the envoy for his kindness on behalf of his father and mother."

Li Zhi and Wu Mei nodded with satisfaction. It was rare to hear serious words from the little guy's mouth, and these words were answered with good manners. He pointed out the meaning of the exquisite treasures and affirmed the sincerity of the messenger Guizi. He also thanked the Emperor and Queen of the Tang Dynasty for their inconvenience due to their status, and helped them to thank the messenger Guizi.

Li Hong did not show any jealousy or displeasure because the Linglong Tower robbed him of the limelight of his gift. This made the officials sincerely admire and satisfied with the generosity of the acting king Li Hong.

The reaction of everyone in the Linhu Palace was not as expected by Messenger Guizi. They originally thought that the appearance of the Duobao Linglong Pagoda would cause a tsunami-like shock to the entire Tang Dynasty, but just now it was extremely lively, with everyone talking about the Linglong Pagoda. After hearing the words of the king, all the people became silent, obviously they all agreed with the words of the king.

However, the messenger Guizi thought that everyone was silent. It was obvious that everyone had heard the meaning of King Dai's words. This Linglong Tower just had a good meaning. As for the texture, whether it was glass or anything else, don't take it out as if it were a treasure. said.

Calculation was done mentally but not intentionally, which made Messenger Guizi feel that it was unfair that he was treated like this despite taking out a national treasure, and all this was because of the words of this king.

So he continued to say to Li Hong: "King Dai, do you think this glass quality is not precious in the Tang Dynasty? Is that why you despise this treasure so much?"

Li Hong was stunned, Li Zhi, Wu Mei and all the ministers were also stunned. What the king said just now did not mean this.

"I..." Li Hong knew that the Guizi envoy had misinterpreted his words, but he was too lazy to explain, so he said perfunctorily: "The Tang Dynasty did not have as advanced glass technology as Guizi. The tower is good."

Messenger Guizi smiled proudly and continued: "Since the king knows that this glass craft is unique to me, Guizi, he should know that the Duobao Linglong Pagoda is precious. Why did he say that the meaning is good, regardless of the texture? What about?”

"The envoy must not misinterpret my prince's words. Li Hong means that no matter what texture it is, it is an absolutely rare treasure. I like it very much. The envoy must not..." Li Zhi held an exquisite tower in his hand to appreciate it. , explained for Li Hong.

Li Hong really couldn't stand the image of his father as such a country bumpkin. He took a piece of broken glass with extremely poor craftsmanship and treated it as a treasure, and even explained it to an envoy from a small country with an arrogant attitude. The majesty that an emperor of the Tang Dynasty should have.

So someone couldn't sit still anymore, and regardless of Wu Mei's hand pinching his buttocks, he stood up on his own. Enduring the bursts of pain in his buttocks, he took a breath and said, "Good intentions are not worth mentioning. I really thought you were the only one." Is this piece of shit a treasure? Are you so embarrassed to show off your glass craftsmanship? You don’t want to show off your envoy’s face today, so you just tolerate it. Do you really think this thing is a peerless treasure?”

Li Hong finally broke free of Wu Mei's jade hand on his buttocks. The burning pain made him walk as if he was in a hurry to urinate. He took three steps at a time and walked to Li Zhi's desk. Just when Li Zhi heard what he said, He wanted to put down the Duobao Linglong Pagoda in his hand, so Li Hong took the tower with one hand.

He turned around and said to the Guizi envoy: "We in the Tang Dynasty have a lot of such crappy things. We don't make such cheap items because we want to give the people of Guizi a chance to trade. It's not that we in the Tang Dynasty can't make them." This glass tower. No, we really can’t make such a rubbish glass tower. If our Datang wants to do this, let me tell you, you won’t have a single product to buy or sell in our Datang. You can only take the money. Come here, replace all these glass products in my Tang Dynasty and take them back."

"You..." Messenger Guizi didn't expect that King Dai, who was calm just now, dared to get angry again in Linhu Palace. He was so choked that he didn't know what to say, and he also regarded them as a national treasure, the Duobao Linglong Pagoda. Devalued to the point of being worthless.

"Hong'er, don't mess around. Come back to your mother." Wu Mei's forehead was full of black lines again, and she regretted in her heart: "I should have sent this little monkey back to the harem just now, but now he is causing trouble again." '

Li Zhi was also shocked by Li Hong's words, and the officials were even more stunned. The little guy is really not afraid of anything. Is it because he is young and ignorant, or is he talented and capable of relying on others

Yiyang and Anyang, as well as Li Sujie, Li Shangjin, Li Xiao and the prince were all frightened. This guy's bad temper in Hongwen Hall has come back again. If Shangguan Yi were here at this moment, he would definitely signal Li Zhi to quickly put away the two multi-treasure exquisite towers.

But it's a pity that he is not here today, so Li Zhi, Wu Mei and the officials finally learned the bad temper of the little bully in Hongwen Hall.

"Bang..." Li Hong let go of his hand, and a rare treasure, the Duobao Linglong Tower, was smashed into pieces by Li Hong without any care.

Before Li Zhi could react and Wu Mei had not had time to get up, Li Hong's small figure had quickly turned around, and with his small hand, he pulled the other exquisite tower on Li Zhi's desk. The exquisite tower on the desk was full of bones. It fell from the desk to the ground again and was smashed to pieces.

"You..." Messenger Guizi's eyes were red. These were two treasures. They were rare treasures in Guizi, but now they were smashed to pieces by the son of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the blink of an eye.

When Li Yifu saw the first Duobao Pagoda being thrown to the ground by Li Hong, his vision almost went dark. Before he could react, the second one was shattered. Li Yifu followed the second broken Linglong Pagoda. Finally, his vision went dark and he fell into Xu Jingzong's arms.

"Brother Jingzong, you have to save me. Look, the king will definitely order me to find a glass multi-treasure tower that is even better than this. You said... you said... where can I find such a rare treasure?" Go...?" Li Yifu said weakly and painfully while being supported by Xu Jingzong.

As expected, Li Hong, the perpetrator of Li Zhi's case a few years ago, his face tightened and he said: "Li Yifu, within a month, let his slutty country bumpkin see what real glass is!"

"Brother Jingzong, do you have a knife? Give it to me quickly. I can't survive now. Let me die. Hurry up..."

Wu Mei got up and looked at the glass shards on the ground with pain. At this time, she was angry, fearful, and panicked. She pulled Li Hong incoherently, but she didn't know how to beat him! This is no small matter!

If Li Zhi is blamed, then... Let's not talk about whether the position of the queen he just canonized can still be stable, that is... whether he can still sit firmly as the acting king is the same thing.

"You bastard, what a nonsense! How unbecoming!" Li Zhi's chest heaved violently, and in the blink of an eye, the two priceless glass multi-treasure towers were reduced to debris!

The angry Li Zhi stood up quickly and pointed a trembling finger at Wu Mei and her son in front of him. His face was flushed and angry than usual, and his lips were trembling but he didn't know what to say. !

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Hong'er is still young, not even four years old. Please forgive him this time. For the sake of the peacock screen just presented to you, you... you..." Wu Mei didn't know how to comfort him. Li Zhi was furious at this moment.

But no matter what, Wu Mei knew very well that Li Zhi, who was already overwhelmed by anger, must not be allowed to speak at this moment, otherwise everything would become irreversible.

Every word spoken by the emperor is a golden rule and cannot be changed. As the saying goes, you have no joke! As long as Li Zhi says how to punish Li Hong in front of the courtiers and envoys from various countries at this moment, it will be the emperor's will, which cannot be changed or regretted. Li Hong will never be able to turn around in the future.

Don't talk about your dream expectation: to help Li Hong become the prince to consolidate his position as queen. Even now that Li Hong has been demoted to a commoner, it is just a flash of lightning!

Wu Mei scratched her neck. Li Hong, who had never expected that Li Zhi would react so violently to two broken windows, knelt down in front of Li Zhi in fear and apologized.

"Why don't you kneel down in front of your father? Don't you still know your guilt?" Wu Mei's eyes were red. At this moment, she couldn't tell whether she was more worried about her newly crowned queen position or Li Hong's safety. As for the idea of setting up a prince, she had already forgotten it. At this moment, she just wanted to keep Li Hong safe and sound, and that was enough.
