Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 458 Crystal Glass Mirror

Twenty or thirty high-ranking officials had promised to invest, and Li Jiyang smiled and invited Yingzheng to unveil it: "I promise to surprise you all!"

Thus, Ying Zheng lifted the red silk!

A rectangular full-length mirror with a height of [-] meters and a width of [-] meters, with a frame made of gold, stood there like a small screen. Ying Zheng saw the person in the mirror at a glance—a golden crown with twelve gold beads inlaid on it. , Dazzling and dazzling; dressed in black, embroidered with golden dragon patterns; a jade belt, embellished with topaz; handsome eyes and bright eyebrows, nose like hanging courage; extraordinary momentum, the king of the world!

"This... this...?" Ying Zheng was almost stunned!

Li Jiyang snickered, since Yingzheng brought down Lu Buwei, he has become more and more mature, and after the unification of the six kingdoms, he has become the Qin Shihuang he is familiar with in history!

This is not good!

What he wants is a living Yingzheng, not a rigid Qin Shihuang!

I deliberately didn't let him know today, just to scare him!

Look, you really saw the face of Ying Coup!

"This is you!" Li Jiyang also appeared in the mirror.

Ying Zheng turned around and blocked him!

Li Jiyang: "...!"

what?What do you mean?

"The picture here is so clear, what if it is something that can take your breath away?" Ying Zheng was very serious, in fact, his face turned pale with fright.

Immortal Taibai almost rolled his eyes: "Are you in the air?"

With him around, it's useless to be seductive!

Ying Zheng glanced at him: "But this thing is so clear..."

"That's because it's a crystal mirror!" Immortal Taibai said it nicely, and gave it a good name.

Everyone heard, crystal mirror?what is that?

Stepping forward, Ying Zheng ordered people to quickly point the mirror at everyone, and when everyone saw it, it was really clear!

Li Jiyang asked someone to break the mirror back: "This is you, this is me!"

In the mirror, two people stood side by side, one domineering and the other gentle.

Looking at two people with very different temperaments standing together, there is a harmonious atmosphere!

Ying Zheng touched his face: "So I look like this?"

Li Jiyang collapsed!

If you don't grow up like this, what else do you want to grow up?

Then people sent the rest of the mirrors to the empress dowagers and empress dowagers of the two palaces, as well as the emperor's younger brother.

I also gave one to each of the elders, and the rest were given to the female relatives who gathered in the harem. The wives in charge of the house used makeup mirrors, the young wives used middle mirrors, and the daughters of gold all carried the mirrors with them. small mirror.

All of a sudden, everyone in the harem was happy!

But the front palace is even more lively!

Everyone who didn't invest just now regretted it!

Now everyone is surrounding Li Jiyang to invest!

This kind of thing looks very promising!

"It's too late!" Li Jiyang spread his hands: "I said it just now, this is a gamble, and now they won the gamble, and you didn't participate, so why should you share the benefits?" Many people's intestines are regretful!

Especially Li Si!

He is poor now!

More importantly, he lost an opportunity to please the emperor and the emperor!

The one who didn't participate just now was Wei Wang, and now he was complained by Long Yang!

He had no choice but to lick his face and come over: "Qin Anjun, look, didn't this king not have enough time just now? Give me another chance?"

Li Jiyang shook his head: "No way!"

King Wei threatened Li Jiyang in a low voice: "If you don't give me a chance, Longyang will blame me when he goes back. If you let him blame me, I will go to your house tomorrow to eat and drink your food!"

Li Jiyang looked resentful: "You are a prince after all!"

"Then what's the matter? This king is going to be ashamed! Just say, will you give me this chance?" Wei Wang looked like an old hooligan.

"You are like this, does the King of Longyang know?" Li Jiyang was almost speechless.

"This king is such a shameless Long Yang, otherwise he is such a good person, how can I wait until this king succeeds? Someone has already struck first!" Wei Wang was proud.

Li Jiyang: "...!"

It turns out that the wise and far-sighted King Wei is a hooligan leader!

"And me!" Another person came up, it happened to be Nesten who just went out to pee and missed the good time: "If you don't give me some favors, I will take my child to your house all day long to squat !"

Nei Shiteng's historical records are very interesting. He was the first person in the Qin State to switch from a military position to a civilian position!

And he is very capable of giving birth!

He has twelve sons and more than 40 grandchildren!

A regular wife, eight concubines!

Seven daughters, ten grandchildren...

"You are ruthless!" Li Jiyang had to surrender: "You have so many children in your family, I can't afford to support them!"

"Hmph!" Nestern was very proud.

It's good to have more children. Whoever visits the house during the Chinese New Year will receive more red envelopes than others!

"But this crystal mirror is really not good!" Li Jiyang spread his hands, anyway, this crystal mirror is not allowed to join.

"Huh?" Many people stared: "Could it be that Mr. Qin An really wants our family to stay in your mansion of Mr. Qin An?"

"Don't worry!" Li Jiyang slapped his hands, and someone got into something.

"This is...? A new plate? Square?"

"It doesn't look like this either?"

"But it's obviously porcelain!"

Li Jiyang told them: "This is called ceramic tile, which is specially used for pasting walls. In the future, it will become the mainstream of decoration."

Tiles!

He was researched by the Mohist Academy!

One side is like jade, the other side is rough, looks small, in fact, anyone can use it in the future!

Decoration magic weapon!

He said that these people think that the crystal mirror is better, but they have no choice but to choose this one.

Naturally, someone would contact them about the deal. Everyone ate and drank, watched singing and dancing performances, and the elders drank too much, so they took a good picture with a mirror to see what they looked like!

Ying Zheng also ate a few bites of food, watched singing and dancing, and looked at the mirror next to him, and he kept holding Li Jiyang's hand and didn't let go!

Li Jiyang felt that the joke was too big, and Ying Zheng was a little frightened, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, the crystal mirror is actually covered with a layer of mercury on the back, it's not a big deal, let alone seductive."

Ying Zheng drank a glass of wine, glanced at the mirror, lowered his head and whispered to Li Jiyang: "I didn't expect me to be so handsome?!"

Li Jiyang: "...!"

If I knew it earlier, I would ignore him!

Megalomaniac!

At the end of the night, fireworks were set off. Since the fireworks were set off on the National Day, the fireworks have been well-known among the people. However, for safety and confidentiality, Li Jiyang scheduled this environmentally friendly fireworks to be set off on festival days, and the rest of the time. No.

Because the fireworks are unique to him, every time he sends people to various counties and counties to watch them, and when they are set off, even the shells have to be taken back!

It's not that no one wants to sneak around a bit, but he doesn't send "humans" but bodyguard-type robots in makeup, and they're getting more and more human these days.

There was a small county magistrate who wanted to keep one for himself, but was rejected.

So this fireworks, non-holidays, can not be seen.

Fireworks are first set off in Xianyang City, then the surrounding area, and finally at the border, where there are also fireworks.

Because Li Jiyang felt that the defenders would not be able to go home to celebrate the New Year every year, and there would be no fireworks to watch, which is simply too miserable!

So much so that every year, during the Chinese New Year, the defenders not only double their salaries, but also eat a large piece of braised pork. When they are not on duty, they also have immortal wine to drink. The most important thing is that even in the bitter cold border, they There are also fireworks to watch!

When the fireworks are over, the New Year's Eve banquet will be over.

Li Jiyang angrily followed Ying Zheng to the harem for a family banquet. This time, it was the empress dowager and empress dowager, the emperor's younger brother, Ying Zheng and him, and Li Xin's family of three.

After eating, the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji chased her out of the house: "I'm so sleepy that I'm about to fall asleep, hurry back to Panlong Palace."

"Understood, godmother, don't forget to look in the mirror!" Li Jiyang followed Ying Zheng dejectedly, not forgetting to ask.

"I know, I know!"

On the first day of the second day, without getting up, Li Jiyang had a good sleep on the lazy bed.

There is nothing to do in the first month, just visiting relatives, Qin Anjun's mansion sent out carloads of gifts, and also took back carloads of gifts.

Several generals in charge of destroying the country sent him their trophies, some of which were high-quality goods, which made Li Jiyang very happy!

Li Jiyang didn't enter the palace after playing at home for several days, Ying Zheng missed it, but he thought of going by himself, it was useless!

Because Xiaoyang will definitely look at those dead things, what should I do?

Ying Zhengshen sent Li Jiyang a bookmark in a mysterious way, with only one sentence on it, three words: Kyushu Ding!

Then Li Jiyang entered the palace like flying!

"Where is it?" Li Jiyang was almost so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"It's in the back!" Ying Zheng directly pulled him back.

In the small garden space behind Panlong Hall, there are nine large tripods.

Nine exquisitely carved, simple and elegant, and solemn bronze tripods stand there.

In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu designated the world as Kyushu, and the prefectures were established as prefectures.

Later Xia Qi ordered Jiuzhou Mu to contribute bronze and cast Jiuding.

In advance, people were sent to draw pictures of the famous mountains and rivers, places of great beauty, and strange things in all states in the country, and then selected famous craftsmen were sent to engrave these pictures on the body of Jiuding, so that one tripod symbolized one state.

The engraved graphics also reflect the state's mountains and rivers.

Jiuding symbolizes Kyushu, reflecting the unity and high concentration of royal power, showing that King Xia has become the co-lord of the world and complies with the "mandate of heaven".

As the saying goes: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers." Since then, Kyushu has become synonymous with the land of China, and "Dingding" has become synonymous with the establishment of political power.

The nine tripods represent Kyushu in ancient times, namely Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Yongzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and Liangzhou.

They are assigned to Ji Ding, Yan Ding, Qing Ding, Xu Ding, Yang Ding, Jing Ding, Yu Ding, Liang Ding, and Yong Ding respectively.

The bronze casting industry in the Xia Dynasty was quite developed.Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, which has a low melting point and is easy to cast and smelt.The copper smelting industry in the Xia Dynasty.

It is also recorded in ancient documents.

Volume [-] of "Yue Jue Shu": "At the time of Yu's cave, copper was used as a soldier."

Regarding the casting of Jiuding, the "Gengzhu" of "Mozi" said: "In the past, after the summer was opened (opened), Fei Lian folded gold in the mountains and rivers, and pottery cast it in Kunwu... The Jiuding was completed and moved to the Three Kingdoms." The Three Kingdoms refers to Xia, Shang, Zhou.

"Zuo Wei" said in the third year of Xuangong: "Jie has a faint virtue, and the tripod was moved to Shang." That is to say this matter.

According to archaeological materials, when the slaves at that time cast large-scale devices like Jiuding, they usually first made the model with fine soil, then used charcoal as fuel, and used copper crucibles to smelt copper and tin ore blocks. Finally, the copper-tin solution is injected into the fan to become a bronze ware.

However, later generations have different opinions. Although Jiuding has clear records, its whereabouts are still unknown.

Some people say that after the Qin army captured Luodong Zhou Wangji, the tripod seized fell into the Weishui River on the way from Weishui to Xianyang, and its whereabouts are unknown!

The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties took the support of the tripod as the orthodoxy, but the dynasties after the Qin Dynasty took the Jade Seal of the Kingdom as the orthodoxy.

In the end, the whereabouts of the tripod may be buried with Yingzheng in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. (The above is from Du Niang)

However, the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin in later generations can only see the terracotta warriors and horses, but they cannot open the mausoleum in the most central part of it. I don't know anything about what is inside.

What Li Jiyang saw now was the real Jiuzhou Ding!

He touched it almost with a worshiping mentality. It was a bit grainy. In the eyes of ordinary people, the workmanship was actually very rough, but in that era, it represented the most advanced craftsmanship.

And the significance of Kyushu Ding is extraordinary!

That is a symbol of unity!
