Chapter 24 The Influence of Mirrors (Part 2)
Zuixianlou.
"With a mirror, the beauty is in her arms. Brother Ma, I think that Fairy Miaomiao has always regarded you as a guest in the curtain before, because you are literary and elegant, and the music is superb. Now, Chen Laosan is just a merchant, and she is so embracing her with a mirror."
"Brother Liu, don't say so much. I met the Fairy Miaomiao by chance. When Ma first arrived in the capital, he was grateful to the flower viewing conference at Mingyan Pavilion to get to know you all. He just discussed poetry and songs with the Fairy Miaomiao, and laughed at me."
"Brother Ma, now General Chang follows the prince to defeat the rebel Liu Heita and make great achievements in military affairs. Why do you become even more stingy to you? Just go back to Bozhou. It is not easy to live in the capital. Instead of relying on others, it is better to be free and relaxed." The young master surnamed Zhou drank some wine and was a little drunk, and at this time he let go of his conversation.
"I'm not afraid of the two jokes. The reason why Ma came to Chang'an with the help of the assistant coach was to show his ambitions. Now he is still penniless. It's all thanks to General Chang's appreciation to make a living. General Chang has already treated me well."
This is a small episode that happened in such a large Chang'an. The topic about mirrors is like the rose water that came in from the Western Regions in the previous dynasty. Although it is precious and rare, it caused a sensation, but for most people, it is just a stone thrown into the pond, which only stirs up a circle of ripples.
Those who have no money can ignore it, but those who have power and power cannot do it. The rose water is a tribute to the big inner tribute, but this mirror has just appeared and it is a great honor to get one before it has been included in the tribute.
Therefore, for a moment, the threshold for Cuiyuxuan was a little lower. There were a bunch of housekeepers from famous families every day, and the maids were lying in Cuiyuxuan. The second generation of officials with high and powerful positions were now upset that they did not attend the hawking ceremony, otherwise they could have a white mirror like Dou Dan. How much money would a promise be worth to them?
At this time, in the backyard of Cuiyuxuan, Wang Shigui was standing obediently in the hall. In front of him was a beautiful girl with her own beauty function. She was elegant and elegant, with a light and aura. Her skin was delicate and leisurely, with beautiful eyes, her cheeks were smiling, and she didn't exhale. She was as beautiful as a secluded orchid, and she was so beautiful that she could not speak.
"Uncle Wang, I don't care what method you use. If this mirror is not delivered to me within three days, I will let my father get rid of your authority and let you go back to Taiyuan to farm." The girl whispered with a smile, as if the threatening words had no intention of threatening.
"Yes, yes, it's so bad that I didn't think about it. At that time, I was just thinking about making more benefits. I forgot Yanran's virtuous nephew for a while. Don't worry, I will present the mirror with my hands tomorrow." Wang Shigui bent his waist even more. Hearing Wang Yanran's words, he quickly lowered his head to respond.
"Haha, Uncle Wang can do his best. In the past few years, Uncle Wang's performance has been seen at home. Yanran is not a stingy person, but I can't have the things that urging Ying'er has? Besides, that thing was bought from my Wang family, right? Uncle Wang?" The girl's originally quiet face thrusts when she said the three words urging Ying'er.
"Yes, yes, yes, Miss, don't be angry. If Mr. Lu hadn't come forward that day, I wouldn't have sold this mirror to her. However, the one with the surname Lu was originally a sold-out for her, and the uncle also took their favor." The Wang family in Taiyuan and Cui family in Qinghe have always been competing for the status of leaders of the five surnames. Now that the Li family in Longxi has become the imperial family, the status of the aristocratic family needs to be unified together to fight against the royal family.
Wang Yanran smiled and said nothing, and her heart was bleeding. When she remembered that Cui Ying'er was showing off in front of her yesterday, she was so angry that she wanted to smoke.
a long time.
As if he had thought of something, Wang Yanran asked, "Uncle said, the mirror comes from the Duke of Yiguo's mansion?"
"That's right, I sent someone to escort Zhang Qi back that day. When I was about to arrive in Zhangjiagou, Jingyang, I was stopped by General Qin's general. It was heard from the general that general." Wang Shigui's eyes twitched, and the tracking turned into escorts.
"That's strange. General Qin is recuperating in his house. Why is his general going to that small hill in Jingyang?" Wang Yanran muttered in confusion.
"Uh, Yanran's virtuous nephew, I heard that it was because General Qin and General Cheng joined forces to build a workshop on the barren mountain in Zhangjiagou, Jingyang. However, what is the workshop used for? I heard that people close to that place were knocked unconscious and sent to Jingyang County."
"Oh, is it a military secret? It's not like, if it's a military land, the Xuanjia Army of Tiance Mansion should be guarding it. It's strange, I can't say I have to go and see it myself."

In Tai Chi Palace, Li Yuan’s study.
As the only emperor in history who had been expanding territory during his reign, Li Yuan was always covered by Li Er's light, which made people not interested in research. However, those who are interested might as well study the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I think it is useless.
At this time, Li Yuan was checking the recent situation of the rebels in Fu Gongyu, Jiangnan. The remark was sent by Li Xiaogong, the chief manager of Jingzhou, and the content was probably that Fu Gongyu revealed to the Tang army commander Li Xiaogong that Du Fuwei was the main plot of rebellion, and had a secret order as evidence (the fake one). Kan Ling, who defected to the Tang army, was also a treasonist. Li Xiaogong had arrested Kan Ling and asked Li Yuan to make a decision.
"Oh, no matter whether Du Fuwei was a rebel or not, everyone was dead (Du Fuwei died suddenly in prison in March of the seventh year of Wude). He had no evidence of death. Kan Ling deserves to die. Since he has defected to our Tang Dynasty, he has repeatedly delayed the opportunity to encircle and suppress the situation, which has led to failure. It is really hateful."
"Peng Hai, I ordered Li Xiaogong to make a decision on his own. Kan Ling should kill him, but Jiangnan has been rebels for more than a year. It is not advisable to waste our Tang Dynasty troops. Li Xiaogong will complete the rebels within three months, otherwise the military law will serve him."
"Affect the will of the saint." After hearing Li Yuan's orders, the eunuch Peng Hai, next to him, turned around and walked towards the small door behind. Seven or eight people in the door were ready to be comfortable for the people at any time.
Peng Hai walked back and saw Li Yuanzheng drinking ginseng tea again, carefully reminding him: "The saint, Concubine Wan, Concubine Yin De, and Concubine Zhang have been waiting outside the hall for a long time. Do you see if it is..."
"Well? Why don't even let me live in peace with the three of them?" Li Yuan looked unhappy.
Concubine Wan was deeply trusted by Li Yuan. Since Empress Xiao’s death, Concubine Wan made decisions in everything in the palace; Concubine Yin De and Concubine Zhang Jie were young and beautiful, and Li Yuan favored the two very much, but they were mostly the pleasure of being a bed.
"Xuan, Xuan, I want to see what they are going to do." Li Yuan put all kinds of ginseng tea on the table and ordered Peng Hai next to him.
Peng Hai bowed to Li Yuan, stood up and shouted, "Concubine Xuan, Concubine Wan, Concubine Yin De, and Zhang Shujie met."
After a while, three exquisite bodies came in outside the main entrance. The leader was dignified and elegant, with slightly raised eyebrows. It was obvious that he had a strong man who had been in a high position for a long time. The two followed him, one on the left was wearing an open-minded and covered with a transparent silk cloak, with affectionate eyebrows, pink cheeks, and a tear mole on the corner of his eyes. The person on the right was Zhang Shujie who dared to argue with Li Er. At this time, she was wearing pink red makeup, with a long skirt swaying, with a bulge in front and a tilted back. Her big eyes were looking at Li Yuan in the upper head with a slightly raised corner of her mouth.
"I will meet your Majesty." The three girls greeted you.
"Okay, okay, just tell me what's going on."
Seeing Li Yuan's reaction, Concubine Wan also looked bitter and said quickly: "Your Majesty calms down. It's all because of the poor management of my concubines, which has led to the sisters in the harem coming to disturb Sheng'an. Today I will apologize."
"Apologize, are you here to apologize, what about the two of them? Can you watch the fun?" Li Yuan looked unhappy.
After all, Zhang Shujie was young and was unhappy when she saw Li Yuan, but the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. She walked behind Li Yuan a few steps, put her little hands on Li Yuan’s shoulders and gently pinched her, “Oh, Your Majesty, don’t be angry, I’m here to relieve your worries, hehe.”
Feeling the softness and erectile scent from the shoulders and the tempting fragrance floating between the breath, Li Yuan clamped his legs awkwardly.
"I think you don't want me to live in peace. Since this mirror is a business in Duke Yi's Mansion, you can go to him. Why do you have to come to me to ask for it?" Li Yuan's tone eased, enjoyed Zhang Shujie's massage comfortably, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty doesn't know anything. General Qin is now closed to thank guests. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not seen him. You say that General Qin is too... ungrateful." Concubine Yin De spoke.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan slapped the table suddenly, pointed at Yin Defei and shouted: "Bastard, Shubao has been fighting for the country for many years, and now he has become sick with overwork. How could he say such a heart-wrenching statement?"
The three girls were startled by the sudden sniff, and Peng Hai next to him was still closed his eyes and resting.
Concubine Wan hurriedly said: "Sacrifice calms down, my sister has always been used to being unrestrained, and she still doesn't kneel down to admit her mistakes." The latter sentence was said to Concubine Yin De.
"Yes, yes, I know that I am wrong. General Qin is loyal to the emperor and patriotism. I am wrong. Your Majesty."
