Chapter 677 Qibao

A promise of a thousand gold, and committing suicide is like a joke in later generations, but it is a real thing for the ancients.

Zengzi killed the only pig in the family for his wife's words; Zhong Ziqi specially built the tomb by the river to fulfill the agreement; Yu Boya threw the piano and broke the strings for Zhong Ziqi, and no longer played it; Fan Wujiu and Xie Bi'an could be washed away by the flood; Han Xin gave him a thousand gold medals to repay the old woman who gave him a meal... Whether it is legend or real history, the integrity of the ancients can be said to be the truth.

Of course, some people can say that those things are all political needs, but the problem is that modern people in later generations are indeed inferior to those of the ancients a thousand three hundred years ago.

The ancients were ignorant and the ancients were barbaric, but modern people did lack a lot of things. They usually say that people are not moral in the five elements, and everyone thinks they are joking when they hear it, but the reality is the same.

Electric vehicles walk through the motor vehicle lane at will, and motor vehicles park at will in the middle of the road, treating others' lives as if nothing is the norm; borrowing money will not be paid, and taking the opportunity to blackmail is common; the times are progressing, but people's moral qualities are deteriorating, and many times some moral norms even need to be restricted by laws.

Li Muyun came from later generations. He liked the ancients' habit of making promises, and he was also trying to get closer to people of this era and be able to keep his promises.

So after looking at the Xiong brothers, Li Muyun said formally: "I can tell you in advance that this mission is a bit dangerous. If you don't want to accept it, I will not force you, nor will I take back the confession document in your hands. This is a reward for your last mission, not for this mission."

The Xiong brothers looked at each other and saw the firmness in their eyes. Xiong Er suddenly smiled and said, "Prince, please give me any task. We brothers have a bad life. It is a great luck to be appreciated by the prince. If you are half-hearted, you may never have the shame to be a human being if you spread it."

Li Muyun's words just now were all intent to test. Seeing Xiong Er's heroic spirit, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Since that's the case, you brothers, listen. This time I need you to escort someone to Goguryeo. His identity is a businessman, and you are his guards. Remember, you must ensure his safety no matter what."

"No." The Xiong brothers spoke in unison without hesitation. The conditions offered by Li Muyun were really good, so they had no reason to refuse.

The two of them admitted that they didn't think it was wrong to fight for their lives.

The next thing became much simpler. The Xiong brothers met Pei Xingjian, a person who needed their protection.

This time, Xiao Pei was burdened with heavy responsibilities and shouldered the burden of disrupting Goguryeo's economy. He rectified his clothes and embarked on his journey in mid-December.

Aze on the other side finally lived up to his mission and fired the first piece of flat glass. Although it did not meet the six-foot square required by Li Muyun, it was still more than one foot.

The appearance of glass made Li Muyun overjoyed, and Aze's status also rose with the rise, almost the same as the three fat men.

Of course, this is just a public status. If you consider having a personal relationship, even if Aze is a decade or eight years old, he may not be able to catch up with the relationship between the three fat men and Li Muyun.

After all, the two have been playing since childhood, and they have also peeked at the relationship between widows in the village taking a bath together, although they have seen nothing.

After Li Muyun had the first finished product, he immediately arranged for someone to expand the Liulifang, from the original one kiln to five, and according to the trend, there is also the meaning of continuing to expand.

At this time, Aze did not realize the importance of glass, but it was very rare to increase its status in the royal palace. As more and more flat "glass" were burned, he simply asked the guy he hired to deal with all the glass in the store, and then closed the store directly, and focused on burning glass for Li Muyun.

For Aze, money is important, but his status is even more important. Anyway, how to burn glass is his own ability. If he wants to make money, he still has many opportunities. At worst, he can let his son make money after getting married and having children.

Time flies, and December has passed. On New Year's Eve, the great emperor's emperor reunites the banquet for his ministers.

Of course, the ministers would not eat for nothing, and they would take advantage of the opportunity to offer gifts, but most of these things meant the same, either calligraphy and painting, or brushwork, or ink, there was no such thing as gold and silver.

So Li Muyun, the four imperial guards in the palace, carried a giant gift of more than one person and three feet wide, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone speculated about what Li Muyun brought, but because it was covered with colorful silk, no one could figure it out, so there were many different opinions for a while, and finally agreed that it should be a screen or a coral.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but be curious. While the old man was not paying attention, he sneaked to Li Muyun and leaned over and asked, "I said, what kind of thing are you doing? Could it be really a screen?"

"Screen?" Li Muyun glanced at Li Chengqian proudly: "I tell you that this thing is included in the whole world, and this one is only one. It can be said that there is no in the sky and unparalleled underground. Even if you tell me, you don't know."

"Really and false? There is only one in the world?" Li Chengqian was a little unbelievable. As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian believed that there was nothing in this world that he didn't know.

But after all, Li Muyun is always talented and often creates some inexplicable things. He said that the world is unparalleled, and maybe he is truly unparalleled.

When Li Shimin saw the giant gift, he had already focused on Li Muyun. This guy relied on Li Yuan's identity as his adopted son and was not far from Li Er. Although Li Chengqian's doubts were not loud, they still came into his ears, which also made him even more curious.

So, the great imperialist leader pressed his hands on the ministers below. After everyone calmed down, he looked at Li Muyun and asked, "What are you going to do? Why don't you raise it up and let me see how shocking your unparalleled thing is like!"

"Your Majesty is auspicious! The Empress is auspicious!" Li Muyun first smiled and came forward to see the greeting, and then waved to the four powerful imperial guards. After a while, the huge gift had been carried to the center of the hall, and even the palace maids who were originally dancing were squeezed aside.

Then Li Muyun raised his head and raised his chest, walked to the side of the gift covered in colorful silk with his hands, and said in a ox-shaped tone: "Please see your Majesty!"

"Crazy", the colorful silk was pulled hard by Li Muyun, and the whole thing fell off. A large mirror about seven feet high in the middle was exposed, and it clearly reflected all the people and things in the hall.

"Hiss..." The hall was full of famous figures, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as being knowledgeable.

But even so, these people were still shocked by the big mirror. Several old guys who were twisting their beards to see Li Muyun look ugly even felt that they had even pulled their beards off, but they didn't react at all.

Li Shimin was shocked at this time, even though he was knowledgeable. The mirror was placed directly opposite him. The moment the colorful silk was uncovered, he saw everything in the mirror from inside.

This was the first time Li Shimin saw his reflection so clearly. Before the mirror appeared, he wanted to see his appearance clearly. One was to use a bronze mirror, the other was to use water, and the third was to draw it based on Yan Liben.

But all three methods have their disadvantages. Although the bronze mirror is good, the shadows reflected by that thing are blurry, and you can only see some things clearly. Although the reflection in the water is good, you can only look down and look a little indecent. Lao Yan's painting... Well, that guy doesn't know how to draw realistically at all, and the things he draws are always particularly exaggerated.

So when the great emperor saw himself in the mirror for the first time, he was stunned. After a while, he raised his hand and waved it in disbelief. He found that the person in the mirror also waved his hand like him. Only then did he believe that what he saw was true.

I have to say that Li Muyun said that this thing is unparalleled in the world at the beginning Li Er didn't believe it, but now he has to believe it. This thing is indeed unparalleled in the world. Looking at himself, who was clearly visible in the mirror, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but straighten his chest and put on a look that he thought was more handsome.

It was not until this time that the ministers below reacted and expressed their surprise.

Cheng Yaojin even jumped directly to the front of the mirror, posing in a row, and from time to time, he would make some meaningless sounds, probably praising his "appearance".

Changsun Wuji walked up, looked at himself in the mirror, and murmured: "This, isn't this the treasure of the immortal?"

As Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin, more people left their seats and came to the mirror to look at their own style, although some people only showed an official hat.

Li Chengqian was also very curious. At first, he tried to go up and take a look, but soon he was knocked out by a butt from somewhere, and looked at Li Muyun, who was also squeezed out, pitifully.

The huge mirror should have both front and back sides, but in order to look good, Li Muyun specially put the two mirrors back to back together, so both the front and the back can clearly reflect the person.

Li Shimin admired himself on the mirror for a while, and was soon alarmed by a group of "rebellious officials" opposite him. Out of his love for the "treasure", he waved his hand decisively: "Come, carry this treasure away."
