Chapter 408 A piece of paper outside Tianjin Bridge ([-])

Wang Hua didn't explain, but it's easy to understand between the lines.

It is not difficult to operate, instead of delegating all the Wu clan and the five kings and one party, Zhang Jianzhi retired, Cui Xuanwei was appointed governor of Liangzhou, leaving only the three kings, as long as Wu Sansi and the three kings were demoted from the court .The dragons have no leader, and the ministers attached to them will immediately settle down.It will not hurt the imperial court.

Moreover, the endless debates in the court also disgusted him very much.

Without these disputes, I am afraid that there will be no such monsters who prophesy in order to suppress their opponents.

He thought the matter was over like this, so he relaxed, and then looked at Wang Hua's room, and saw many beautiful inkstones.During this period, due to the proficiency of the craftsmen, the speed of making inkstones was accelerated, and many finished products were produced. Only a part was placed in Wang Hua's room, and many of them were transferred to the soon-to-open shop.

At this time, Shi Yan was still a vague concept, Li Xian asked hesitantly: "They can also grind ink?"

Wang Hua pursed her lips, and Li Hong took clear water and ink knowingly, and began to grind it, then Wang Hua said: "Your Majesty, you can write a few words for a try."

Li Xian picked up the brush and wrote "Xiu".Wang Hua looked at it and wanted to laugh, maybe this is the portrayal of his mood.

After Li Xian finished writing, he looked at the gloss of the ink, was a little surprised, and looked at the inkstones again.Chengni inkstone is of course very good and has many beautiful shapes, but stone inkstone also has its advantages. If you use it well, you can use its natural stone eyes, stone galls and patterns.No matter whether it is clear mud inkstone or brick and tile inkstone, it cannot do this.

And because it was the first time to enter Li Xian's field of vision, it also had a huge impact on Li Xian.

Wang Hua said: "If Your Majesty likes it, you can choose a few pieces and go back to enjoy them."

But he asked Li Hong to choose four pieces of good products, which were for Lao Wu, Webster, Shangguan Xiaowan and Li Gu'er.Li Xian was also embarrassed, and only picked two yuan.But when it comes to appreciation, he has a good eye, and both of them are masterpieces among these inkstones.

But after the selection was over, he said again: "Young Champion, of course utensils can be used for entertainment, but state affairs are the most important."

Well, you don't need to persuade me, just take care of yourself first, Wang Hua thought slanderously.But he couldn't say it out, he said: "That's not the case. If we talk about making utensils, I like porcelain the most. I did this on purpose. Your Majesty, do you remember what I said about making Jiuding?"

Li Xian had heard him say it several times, but there was no other news except that Wang Hua was asking workers to test burn a new type of bronze ware in a workshop in Luoyang.Of course, it was not easy for him to ask, because this was not ordered by his imperial decree, it was Wang Hua's spontaneous behavior, and the court did not even ask the court to pay a penny.

"It is said that when Dayu ruled the tripod, he gathered all the copper in the world to make the Jiuding. This statement may not be correct, but it is correct, and it is impossible to gather all the copper in the world to make the Jiuding. Even if the emperor agreed, the people of the Tang Dynasty would not agree I will agree. But in order to show its greatness, it must make its craftsmanship reach an unprecedented level. Therefore, I have an idea to let it concentrate all the superb copper, jade, porcelain, lacquer and gold and silver craftsmanship. I also have many new The idea of ​​craftsmanship. Therefore, before making it, I want to pass on these ideas to craftsmen. Once the craftsman can master these crafts proficiently, then I can actually make Jiuding. So I came up with another idea, to open a shop of the Four Treasures of the Study, through making Some exquisite utensils slowly enable the workers to comprehend the craftsmanship through the real objects and see if there are any possible problems. After all, once the Jiuding starts to work, it will cost a lot. If there is a mistake, the loss will be heavy. accusations."

It can't be said that his speech is wrong, but in the final analysis, Wang Hua still likes it in his heart, so he can't help but try to spread some advanced craftsmanship to this world.

Wang Hua said again: "Besides, I have already said that no matter how high or low your position is, if your Majesty needs it, I will serve your Majesty. If your Majesty asks, I will tell you everything like this time."

Li Xian patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know your heart, let's talk about it after you recover from your injury."

It means that your injury is healed, and I will really reuse you.

Of course, this is the feeling that Wang Hua helped him solve a crisis this time, and at the same time, he did not speak favorably, and deliberately retaliated against the attack.But after a while, God knows what thoughts he had.

Li Xian left after speaking.

Looking at his back, Li Hong asked: "Erlang, do you think the emperor will listen to your suggestion?"

Wang Hua spread his hands and said, "Who knows. But whether he listens or not, let's continue watching the show."

If Li Xian really had the courage to listen to his suggestion to deal with this dispute, it would mean that he had done something, at least he was not incompetent to the extreme, and there was medicine to heal.Then Wang Hua can also assist him with peace of mind, although it may not make him a wise emperor, but he can become a sloppy emperor.Even Wang Hua can plan to eradicate Webster for him in order to reduce his resistance, and cut off this source of disaster.

But this possibility is not very high, Wang Hua guessed it, once Li Xian made his point after going back, it is impossible for Webster to let Wu Sansi go out.In the end the matter fell through again.But that doesn't matter, anyway, I have made plans.

In short, now Wang Hua can advance and retreat freely, but there is one condition, he must not go into the water.Once you wade into the muddy water, you will not be able to advance and retreat freely, but will be in a dilemma.

As Wang Hua expected, Li Xian returned to the palace, and Webster was talking to Li Gu'er.History books commented on Li Xian's doting on Webster because Webster encouraged Li Xian to live in adversity. In order to be grateful, Li Xian promised to let her do whatever she wanted after becoming the throne.That's right, but only a part of it is true, because history books have neglected Webster's appearance.How could a mother who could give birth to the most beautiful princess in the Tang Dynasty be so bad?Wang Hua also had a relationship with her on several occasions. She once praised Webster's beauty in front of Li Gu'er, but Li Gu'er misunderstood that Wang Hua wanted to "take all" their mother and daughter.

Li Gu'er was worried for nothing, even if Webster was more beautiful than Li Gu'er, Wang Hua would not be interested in this woman.But I have to admit that she is glamorous. Now she is in her early 40s, but because of proper maintenance, she looks like she is only in her early 30s.Compared with Li Bao'er, she lacks youthful beauty, but has more mature charm.It is not too much to describe her appearance as charming.This is also the key reason why Li Xian is nostalgic for her.

Li Xian asked the court lady to bring two inkstones to Shangguan Xiaowan and Lao Wu. The patterns of the two inkstones were different. The one given to Lao Wu was a longevity inkstone, and the one given to Shangguan Xiaowan was a spring flower inkstone.He also took out the inkstone that was given to Wei Shi and Li Gu'er.

Webster's picture is a picture of wealth and wealth, all of which have meaning.But Li Guer's is exactly the picture of Panasonic asking a boy, Yinxing Sheyan, which she was reluctant to part with that day.

Li Bao'er finally smiled when she saw it, and she asked, "Father, you have arrived at Wang Xiaoer's home."

Happy to be happy, but I still have resentment in my heart.

Li Xian nodded.

"Father, have you seen those maidservants?"

Li Xian saw it, but seeing the resentment in the eyes of these beautiful girls, I am afraid that things are not what Li Baoer imagined.But because Li Xian's mood improved, he joked, "I see, they are having a good time."

Li Bao'er stomped her feet reproachfully, and said, "I'm so mad."

But Webster said to Li Gu'er: "Gu'er, you go out first, I will discuss something with your father."

Li Gu'er left, and Wei Shi said, "Your Majesty, did you go to the Wang painter's house because of what happened at the court this morning?"

"Yes."

"What did he say?"

Li Xian repeated Wang Hua's words again.

"Wang Hua's idea is to treat the symptoms, not the root cause. He also neglected the most important point."

"What's the queen's opinion?"

"Your Majesty, the matter of Wang Hua's assassination is easy to find out but also difficult to find out, just like the news that the Blood Character Camp was betrayed last year. This time, the assassins dared to assassinate Wang Hua. The assassins were not weak, and they used ten military bows and crossbows." , There are not many people in Luoyang who are suspected of this. But even Wang Hua himself has ruled out that Sansi did it, so think about it, your majesty, who could it be?"

Only Li Dan is the most suspect.But even if Li Xian thinks from the standpoint of the fourth child, it is unlikely.Ten arrows were fired at once, Wang Hua had no armor on his body, no shield in his hand, and he might be shot by random arrows at any time.The result is that Wu Sansi has a reputation of suspicion, so it is better to keep Wang Hua to compete with Wu Sansi.With the wisdom of the fourth child, it is impossible to do such a stupid thing.

"Your Majesty, at first I thought it was impossible. But think about it again, Your Majesty, what will happen if you cooperate with today's prophecy."

These two brothers are a pair of brothers in need. They both served as crown prince and emperor for a period of time, and then were deposed by Wu Zetian, so they both have the righteousness to ascend to the throne.But during the Shenlong coup, Li Dan led troops to quell Luoyang, and then took the initiative to help Li Xian ascend the throne.Therefore, at the beginning, Li Xian was sincerely grateful to Li Dan, including his direct award of the title of Li Dan's emperor's younger brother.With this title, Li Dan can use it as the name of the heir to the throne in the future.But Li Dan still refused, which made Li Xian feel a little guilty.

But good people are afraid of three words, and bad people are afraid of three persuasion.Later, Webster and Wu Sansi, including Shangguan Xiaowan, would often blow in his ears, and Li Xian gradually changed his mind.Li Dan's history of the crown prince and the emperor did not become Li Xian's guilt, but became a reason for Li Xian's fear.If Li Dan hadn't kept a low profile and accepted the title of Li Xianhuang's younger brother, Li Xian might even have murderous intentions now.

These two people did not mention Li Dan's name from beginning to end, but they knew it well.Moreover, what Wei Shi said made Li Xian worry, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Your Majesty, think about it again. If you hadn't thought twice to help, your throne would be as strong as it is today? He has nothing to do with these two things. Although he was implicated in the Huazhou case by the local officials who fought against him, but You still have made great contributions to His Majesty. Now that you don't reward those who have made great contributions, but because of someone's careful arrangement, you have sent Sansi to another place. Wouldn't you have fallen into someone's trap? So I said that Wang Hua's idea is only a temporary solution, and it is not a solution Method."

"so what should I do?"

"Simple, continue to investigate the case of assassinating Wang Hua and the case of prophecy, who did it, order the people to prohibit the spread of prophecy, and at the same time issue an order not to impeach these two things in the court, so as to avoid continuing disputes. As for Before the truth is known, no ministers will be punished, so as not to accidentally hurt the real good ministers."

In addition to prohibiting the dissemination of prophecies, others completely overturned Wang Hua's proposal.

This is Webster's deliberate confusion of two different concepts.Webster's statement was only aimed at the two cases themselves. Because they were innocent, they could not be punished.What Wang Hua said was the root cause. He didn't say that several ministers should be punished because of the case, but because they were for their own self-interest and disregarded the interests of the country, and the party struggle had developed to the point that it had affected the operation of the state machine.So a little punishment.These are two different standpoints and different approaches to the issue.

But Webster's statement is very tempting. Now Li Xian really thought of a question, if Wu Sansi hadn't restrained the five kings, would the five kings and the fourth child have made him the emperor.So he pondered.

In fact, this is another wrong idea.If you want to lift the five kings up and let the real power of the state apparatus fall into their hands, someone must stand up and restrain them.But it doesn't have to be Wu Sansi, I believe that many neutral ministers now, including Wei Yuanzhong who has become a good man, Song Jing who is disappointed, and Zhang Jiazhen, Wei Zhigu, and Wang Hua who have not completely reborn, and many others, they They don't want the court to fall into the hands of the five kings and let them abolish it at will.And they are the courtiers who really want the Tang Dynasty to become stronger and have a good style of work.

But there must be a premise for this, reuse and trust, just give a heavy job, not reuse and not listen to advice, just like Old Wei, so Old Wei is disheartened, even though he is now a prime minister.

But Webster will not let the situation develop like this. If the power is handed over to these ministers, will she still have a chance to realize her ambition?So day and night instigated Li Xian's ears, causing Li Xian to think that he would not be able to play without Wu Sansi now.

The next day when Li Xian announced the imperial decree in the early court, one can imagine how much turmoil it caused.Even such a serious prophecy, the emperor didn't care about it.Except Wu Sansi leaned over and agreed, saying that the emperor is wise.All the other ministers, regardless of whether they were related to the faction of the five kings or not, all fell down and asked Li Xian to withdraw the imperial edict.

Not only that, but when the news spread, officials from various provinces and prefectures, as small as local tribute students and Confucian scholars, wrote letters one after another, admonishing and impeaching him.

When Wang Hua heard the news, he sneered, and Mu Zili said to him quietly again: "Erlang, listen to me."

The emperor is such a jerk, Wang Hua can replace him.Wang Hua shook his head: "The emperor is weak and can be bullied, but he has not lost his great virtue. Mu Zili, let me ask you, what do you think the king will do? I can tell you that although the emperor is weak and disappoints everyone, if Once he rebels, there are still many people who support him. That's why even the Prime Minister dare not act recklessly. Don't mention this sentence in the future. Let's watch the show."

The fun is not over yet.

Moreover, Wang Hua also received good news that from his kiln in the south of the Yangtze River, many exquisite porcelains of the Four Treasures of the Study and other miscellaneous items were fired.Including Wang Hua drew the picture and asked the craftsmen to imitate the later famous products, the Ming Dynasty Xuande blue and white cloud dragon pattern sunflower wash.There are many porcelain works in the miscellaneous items of the study, but there is one thing to pay attention to, because considering the charm of calligraphy and ink, 90.00% of them choose blue and white porcelain.What pleased Wang Hua the most was that after a lot of manual searching, he finally found Potang Green and Shi Zi Qing, and because of Wang Hua's matchmaking, he imported some Persian green materials.This enriches the types of blue and white porcelain.However, there are still many blue materials that have not been found. The most famous one is zheqing, which is the best green material among domestic green materials. From the middle Wanli period of Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen official kilns almost all used this material.This green material is in Jinhua, and it is believed that only after hard work will it be possible to find it in the near future.There is also the pearl material produced in Yunnan, which is calcined from cobalt clay and becomes black and opaque after firing. This material was often used in the Qing Dynasty.The hue is green and bright.Ruizhou's painted burning green, also known as Wumingzi, was used in many porcelain kilns in Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty to paint porcelain with this green material.And a leek side, which is used to burn fine utensils.Then there is Huiqing, which comes from the Western Regions. It is a kind of blue pigment, which is mainly used for firing and coloring porcelain. It usually needs to be mixed with Shiziqing. The color it presents is lighter than Jilan.

If all these kinds of blue and white materials can be found, then Wang Hua can burn almost all types of blue and white porcelain, instead of many blue and white porcelains that are nondescript.But without an accurate address and without instruments, it is like looking for the Wujin inkstone. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to slowly fish out the needle from the sea.

In addition to this good news, he also brought a variety of brushes and inks, including medicinal inks and colored inks, in addition to all kinds of smoky inks.After repeated tests, basically achieved satisfactory results.Of course, Wang Hua can be said to be the No.Pens are mainly divided into pen cents and pen tubes.The pen technology is quite developed now, but few people take the postgraduate entrance examination on the pen tube.Wang Hua wanted to make brushes when he was in Gong County, and even collected a lot of animal hair, but due to various reasons, he couldn't do it himself in the end.This time, the workers at home tried it out.

And because of several years of teaching painting and engraving skills, the patterns on the pen and ink produced by craftsmen are already highly appreciative.

Wang Hua also invested funds to experiment with Xuan paper, but there is still little progress.Of course, like blue and white materials, there is no rush.After all, it is a leap from scratch all of a sudden.

With the arrival of these handicrafts, it also means that Mo Haixuan will not be far away from Zhang.

Just when the ruling and opposition parties were full of resentment because of Li Xian's muddling over Wu Sansi, Li Chongjun returned to the capital from Bianzhou.Compared with Wang Hua's deserted return to Luoyang, Li Chongjun's return to Beijing this time was very lively.Li Xian ordered Wei Yuanzhong to lead the ministers to greet him personally at the pier.Mainly to divert everyone's concentration.In fact, many ministers transferred their hopes to Li Chongjun because of their disappointment with Li Xian.

All the way back to the palace, many ministers advised Li Chongjun, hoping that Li Chongjun would take advantage of this great achievement to persuade Li Xian.

Li Chongjun had already known what happened in the capital.So these days I have been discussing this matter with my staff, and Li Chongjun even wanted to visit Wang Hua as soon as he returned to Luoyang to see if he could help him come up with a good idea.But it was rejected by the staff.The reason is very simple, Wang Hua is now lying on the bed unable to move, powerless.And the goal is simple, mainly because the emperor trusted Wu Sansi, a treacherous minister, too much.Anyway, Li Chongjun and Wu Sansi have become enemies.Therefore, Li Chongjun had to "shout out the pole" at this time in order to win the appreciation and surrender of more ministers.Regardless of whether Wu Sansi can be defeated or not, he has won prestige.

If Li Chongjun finds Wang Hua, many people now believe that the detection of the two major cases and the perfect completion of disaster relief are actually due to Wang Hua.If even such a simple matter had to be discussed with Wang Hua, what would people in the world think?Moreover, Wang Hua closed the guest and thanked the guest. In order to avoid taboo, he went to ask to see him, whether Wang Hua saw him or not.It's fine if you don't see it, if you don't see it, he wants to slam the door like a princess, or jump over a wall like Song Jing?
In fact, in the final analysis, it is the staff who are greedy for credit. If Wang Hua has arranged everything properly after meeting Wang Hua, then what is the use of these staff?
So Li Chongjun dismissed the idea.In fact, even if he saw Wang Hua, Wang Hua would not open the door to welcome him into his home.

Therefore, in the face of the ardent requests of various direct ministers, Li Chongjun immediately made a statement.A group of people returned to the palace, and Li Xian also held a big palace banquet. At the banquet, he rewarded the ministers with meritorious service, including Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Jiazhen, both of whom were promoted. This jump is several levels, and he also has the right to personally judge the case.In fact, it is an additional reward for Wang Hua.It doesn't make sense for the ministers to do this. They have indeed made great contributions, and they are not promoted to the prime minister's assistant minister. Although the reward is generous, it is also reasonable.

After three rounds of drinking and five tastes of food, Li Chongjun fell on the ground and asked Li Xian to think twice about performing martial arts, and complained as a commoner.

But Li Xian's originally happy face immediately changed color, and he shouted: "I see."

After drinking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

As a result, the palace banquet broke up unhappy.No one knew what Li Xian was thinking, but a few days later, Li Xian led a group of guards and ordered Tang Xiujing to stay in the capital and go hunting in Longmen, Xue Rengui's hometown.How to do it?According to his wife's opinion, this is the fourth child deliberately suppressing his "right-hand man", which seems very reasonable.But why did the ministers and the people react so strongly?Even his own son objected to his approach.It is too late to develop to this point according to Wang Hua's original proposal.The wives in the palace will not be happy, and neither will these ministers.

He didn't know what to do, so he stomped on his hooves and ran away.

Hearing this news, even Wang Hua's face was full of excitement.He sighed, looking in the direction of the imperial city, he seemed to see that because of Li Xian's weakness and connivance, a monstrous black peony was expanding and blooming in the imperial palace.
