The Emperor of Heaven, Zhu Youjian, looked at himself in the mirror and said nothing for a long time.
In the smooth mirror, Zhu Youjian saw his whole body. What his face looked like, his nose looked like, his mouth looked like, his upper body looked like, his lower body looked like, they all could be seen clearly. Even himself
The beard on the chin can be seen clearly one by one.
After a long time, Zhu Youjian took a breath and said: "So I look like this!"
Wang Chengen also took a look in the mirror next to him and said with a smile: "It turns out this is what my slave looks like!"
Zhu Youjian said: "Wang Chengen, I know today that you are not as good-looking as me!"
Wang Chengen said with a smile: "How can a slave dare to be prettier than the emperor? The emperor is the emperor, and he is a human being for all the people in the world!"
Zhu Youjian laughed, turned around and looked at his back in the mirror.
"So this is what my back looks like!"
After looking at it for a long time, Zhu Youjian sat back on the throne and said slowly: "This Li Zhi is really a skillful craftsman. He can actually make such a big mirror. I have only seen small mirrors trafficked from Xiyi. This is the first time."
Seeing such a big glass mirror. I heard that he also made soap, no wonder he can support four thousand servants."
Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, this Li Zhi can fight and create new things. He is a talent."
Zhu Youjian smiled contemptuously and said: "It's a pity that he can't read and doesn't understand the learning of saints, so he can only be a craftsman and martial artist driven by others."
Wang Chengen said: "What the emperor said is true, but it's just a warrior's ear!"
"These domineering warriors are very difficult to control." Zhu Youjian took out a memorial from Zhang Guowei, the governor of Anqing, and said: "Look, Zuo Liangyu became extremely arrogant after winning a battle. The governor asked him to
He did not pursue the thieves, but instead sent troops to rob women in Anqing. He was really audacious."
Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youjian's face and said tentatively: "This Zuo Liangyu is indeed arrogant!"
Zhu Youjian took a breath and said: "But now, looking around, there is no one available. If I don't rely on these arrogant military attachés, who else can I rely on?" After a pause, Zhu Youjian said sternly: "Dingping.
After destroying the bandits, I will deal with these domineering military officers severely and let them know the price of being arrogant and breaking the law!"
Wang Chengen secretly felt that something was wrong when he saw the emperor saying such things to settle accounts after the fall. The military attache was not stupid. The emperor was lying to the military attache, and the military attache could also detect it. When the time comes, the military attache will have scruples, and the matter will be even more difficult to handle. But Wang Chengen does not
If he dared to explain, he only dared to raise his hands and say: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"
Zhu Youjian raised his head and said: "This is Li Zhi who reassures me. I helped him except Luo Zhending, and he gave me this valuable mirror to express his loyalty. How much does this mirror cost?"
"According to the memorial, one hundred and fifty taels are required."
"The thirty noodles are four thousand five hundred taels. This Li Zhi is no better than Zuo Liangyu and his ilk. Now wars are raging, hundreds of officials are shirk-passing, and money is wasted without finding a military attache who can fight. And this Li
Planting plants does not cost the court money, but they can support their families and serve the country. They can defend and fight. If our Ming Dynasty has a few more generals like this, why worry about the injustice of the nine states?"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youjian said: "Send one of these mirrors to each of the six pavilion elders, the six ministers, and the censor of Zuodu. The rest will be sent to the harem for Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan and several concubines.
One person at a time."
Wang Chengen did the math and said: "Your Majesty, the Minister of War is empty, and there are only twelve ministers who sent the mirror. Adding the nine empresses, noble concubines and concubines, there are still nine mirrors left!"
Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said: "Let's keep it in the Qianqing Palace. I also check whether my clothes are in good order every day."
Wang Chengen grinned and said, "There are still eight sides left, Your Majesty."
Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "I'll give you one side and store the remaining seven sides in the warehouse."
This was what Wang Chengen was waiting for. He knelt down with a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Kong Zhenyuan, the Minister of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, received the robe mirror given by the emperor, there was an endless stream of people coming to see the robe mirror. Kong Zhenyun simply put the mirror in the lobby for all the guests to watch.
On this day, the unemployed Donglin leader Qian Qianyi came to Kong Zhenyun's home and also came to see the imperial mirror.
As the assistant prime minister, Kong Zhenyun is the most powerful person in the Donglin Party. As the leader of Donglin, Qian Qianyi is also the most prestigious in the Donglin Party. Kong Zhenyun and Qian Qianyi have close contacts and are very familiar with Qian. Qianyi came to Kong's house without even bringing a name card with him. As soon as the servant opened the door and saw him, he hurriedly led him to the main hall.
In the main hall, He Shishou, the Minister of Rites, was discussing people with Kong Zhenyun when they suddenly saw Qian Qianyi walking in with his hands behind his back. The two quickly stood up to greet Qian Qianyi.
Kong Zhenyun pointed at Qian Qianyi and said with a smile: "Shou also came to see the dress mirror!"
Qian Qianyi smiled and said: "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, where is your precious dress and mirror?"
Kong Zhenyun pointed behind him and said, "It's right there! Take a look and see for yourself!"
Qian Qianyi walked to the mirror, looked left and right for a long time, and said with emotion: "What a mirror, even the hair is visible. After living for fifty-six years, this is the first time I know that my whole body looks like this!" "Turn around and look at Kong Zhenyun, Qian Qianyi said: "The emperor has given you a treasure!"
Kong Zhenyun came over and said proudly: "Isn't this the first time Shou has seen a mirror that reflects people so clearly?"
Qian Qianyi smiled, reached out and took out a face-sized glass mirror from his pocket, and said: "I have a glass mirror for a long time, how can this be the first time I see it!"
Kong Zhenyun smiled and said to He Shishou: "Shou is a very rich gentry, and he bought a mirror from Xiyi a long time ago!"
He Shishou asked: "How much does this mirror cost? The mirror I got from Xiyi probably costs a hundred taels!"
Qian Qianyi replied proudly: "This is a gift from Zheng Zhilong to me. It doesn't cost any money."
Kong Zhenyun said unhappily: "Zheng Zhilong is so biased, why doesn't he give me a pair?"
Qian Qianyi smiled and excused Zheng Zhilong: "Now that you have the dressing mirror from the Li family in Tianjin, what else do you want from Zheng Zhilong's small Xiyi mirror?" Putting the mirror in his arms, Qian Qianyi said to He Shishou: "Li Zhi, promoted by Han Bo, is so energetic. First he beheaded Ma Shouying, and then Yang Guli. First he made glass wine glasses, and now he makes this big mirror worth a hundred gold. His skills can reach the sky!"
He Shishou said: "This Li Zhi is a wise man. I promoted him single-handedly. Now that he is in Tianjin, I can be an official!"
Qian Qianyi clicked his tongue a few times and spat: "You have found an aid!" Hehehe laughed, and Qian Qianyi said again: "Want to learn from Hou Xun and Zuo Liangyu? Can Li Zhi be trusted?"
When Kong Zhenyun saw Qian Qianyi talking about political affairs, he said worriedly: "According to this, I observed in the court and felt that the traitorous prime minister is becoming more and more benevolent and seems to be attacking me, the wise men of Donglin, so I must be on guard!"
Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "Let him go!"
Kong Zhenyun frowned and asked, "Let him go? If it causes trouble, that would be bad."
Qian Qianyi smiled and said: "The emperor is now suspicious and likes checks and balances. Now that Wen Tiren wants to overthrow me, Donglin, the emperor will definitely doubt him in the end. He is shooting himself in the foot!" After a pause, Qian Qianyi said again: "
Furthermore, I, Donglin, have built up a foundation over the past few decades and have a strong influence within and outside the DPRK. How can his little Wen Tiren be able to overthrow it? The only result of Wen Tiren's actions is to destroy himself."
Kong Zhenyun and He Shishou thought for a while and said one after another: "It's a great idea to accept!"
