Chapter 265 Volume 3 The gift shakes Chang'an and moves the nobles!

Wang Dequan was naturally invited to today's banquet.

Not only him, but all the envoys in Chang'an were invited.

This is the ambition a big country should have.

Speaking of which, Wang Dequan also entered the palace for the first time. Before, he told the waiters not to be embarrassed. Now, he himself was a little stunned.

The moment I entered the palace, I was even thinking about whether to step my left foot first or my right foot first.

But no one laughed at him. If you really want to talk about it, everyone could only envy him.

More than half a year ago, he was just a down-and-out businessman. By chance, he followed Li Chengqian. Not to mention making money, he suddenly became an official.

With the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, this guy's future is immeasurable.

Arriving outside Tai Chi Palace, everyone entered one after another.

This is still very particular. Who sits where, everyone has their say.

Of course, today everyone did not come empty-handed.

Although it was a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, anyone with any brain would know what was going on.

This is the daughter-in-law of the old Li family, who would be so embarrassed to do it empty-handed?

Even the envoys brought some gifts.

But fortunately, this gift is as long as it comes from my heart, and I don’t mind whether it’s expensive or not.

The only one who put enough thought into gifts was probably the Ming Dynasty.

However, the purpose of giving them gifts was not because Lao Li's family was marrying their daughter-in-law, but as a serious Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

When Wang Dequan was announced into the palace, this guy was extremely nervous.

No matter how nice it is, it is still the first time for a big girl to get into a sedan chair.

"Foreign ministers, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and Your Majesty the Eldest Princess, wish your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress a happy Mid-Autumn Festival." After Wang Dequan said these words, his palms broke out in cold sweat.

Good guy, look how nervous he is.

After hearing this, everyone did not laugh at him. Although what he said was wrong, for a guy like him who was a monk halfway, there was nothing to be picky about if he could complete a sentence in such an environment.

Besides, everyone also wanted to see what kind of congratulatory gift the Ming court sent.

They just took a cursory look, and except for the thing that was far clearer than the bronze mirror, they were also very curious about the other objects.

"Your envoy is very polite." Li Er said with a smile, but he didn't take it to heart.

Wang Dequan thought he had passed the test, so he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said, "The foreign minister, by order of the two highnesses, has some gifts to offer."

Li Er nodded, he had nothing to be embarrassed about the gifts from his children.

Queen Changsun looked at all this with a smile. As the Queen of the Tang Dynasty, she was qualified to accompany Li Er to such banquets.

Seeing this, Wang Dequan turned around and clapped his hands. Suddenly many people came in, carrying various boxes in pairs.

They had been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Even though it was just a porter's job, this job had to be done somewhere. Everyone was extremely nervous when doing this job in the Tai Chi Hall, for fear of something going wrong.

As they came in, the huge full-length mirror appeared in front of Li Er's eyes, and Li Er's eyes lit up immediately.

It is not difficult to see from his perspective that this is a good thing.

Empress Changsun looked at this gorgeous mirror in surprise.

"What is this?" Li Er asked.

Wang Dequan heard the words and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this thing is called the Dressing Pavilion. It is the product of the ultimate craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty. Although its function is the same as that of a bronze mirror, the effect is completely different. This dressing room

The pavilion is dedicated to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen, and wishes the Queen good health during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

This thing was actually made not long ago. Li Chengqian had people rush to deliver it.

"Since it is a gift from the eldest princess of your country, I will accept it." The eldest grandson said with great satisfaction.

If this was a gift from someone else, she might still be hesitant. It was a gift from her own daughter, so why should she hesitate?

When everyone was still surprised that the dressing cabinet could perfectly reflect the human figure, Changsun asked people to carry it away. While everyone was feeling regretful, Li Er looked at the box exposed after the dressing room was taken away and asked:

"What's in the box?"

"This object is similar to the previous dressing room. If the dressing room is a mirror that can straighten clothes, then this object is a pair of eyes that can distinguish right from wrong within a thousand steps."

With that said, Wang Dequan walked over, opened the box and took out a monocular telescope.

At that moment, he also sighed with emotion and said: "That's why this thing is called the Clairvoyance! It was presented to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty by His Highness Prince Ming."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly and held it above his head with both hands.

Everyone was confused after hearing this. What the hell is this? You can tell right from wrong and you are clairvoyant?

Li Er was also a little confused and waved his hand to the waiter to get it.

When he got it, he couldn't understand the meaning of it when he looked at it horizontally and vertically. But inadvertently, when he picked up the clairvoyant vertically, the scene in the hole surprised him.

Looking closely, I saw that the people inside were getting bigger and bigger. After looking outside the palace, I immediately put it down and asked, "Do you know the mystery of this thing?"

"Of course the foreign minister knows about it. Your Highness told the foreign minister when he wrote the letter." Wang Dequan bowed his hands and saluted.

Li Er continued: "Who else knows about this thing?"

"The court officials of the Ming Dynasty don't know, but in the Tang Dynasty, only Your Majesty knows." Wang Dequan said.

He also felt a little regretful in his heart. Even the Tang Dynasty should not be able to provide such good things.

But he didn't know that this was just a rudimentary version of the telescope, with a limited distance. Li Chengqian was currently working on an advanced version of the telescope. Low-level items like this would probably be a treasure by Ma Ye and others.

Li Er nodded, but didn't say much. The main reason was that he couldn't interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. After putting the telescope away, he asked: "What else?"

In the main hall, the other people were also very curious, what was that thing just now?

They are not fools. It can be seen that Li Er attaches great importance to it. Most people are embarrassed to speak, but Yuchi Jingde asked carelessly: "Your Majesty, what kind of treasure was that just now? Can you open your eyes to me?"

"Drink your wine, and don't even look at the occasion, just follow the nonsense!" Li Er's face darkened, this guy, if you don't stop him at once, he can keep pestering you with his thick skin.

.

Yuchi Jingde was not embarrassed, he understood immediately, and continued to drink with others with a smile, and looked at Wang Dequan from time to time.

The Imperial Court of the Ming Dynasty really has a lot of good things.

Wang Dequan smiled and said: "The next thing is the music box. It is a gift from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to all the princes and princesses. There are twenty-four in total."

This thing was indeed prepared by Changle and had been brought there a long time ago. Wang Dequan opened the box and took out a beautiful small box. He opened it again and took out a small box. He placed a small wooden figure on it and twisted it.

After twisting it, a pleasant sound was heard in the hall.

Compared to the previous clairvoyant that no one knew what it was, it was obvious that this exquisite little box that made sounds immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Even Li Er and Chang Sun looked at him in surprise.

"Why does this thing scream?" Yuchi Jingde asked in confusion.

When he asked, everyone laughed.

Even the old-fashioned Xiao Yu smiled and said: "The Duke of E is really heroic. How can such a beautiful voice be described like this? But I am also curious, why can this so-called music box produce such a beautiful melody?"

"The foreign ministers can't explain the doubts of the two princes." Wang Dequan said with a smile, "This thing is another extreme of the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty. The foreign ministers still haven't figured out the clues, but this thing, in the Ming Dynasty,

Ting, is deeply loved by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Eryi waved his hand, and someone immediately collected the box of music boxes.

Twenty-four were enough for his children to share.

"His Majesty……"

As soon as Yuchi Jingde opened his mouth, Li Er said quickly: "Shut up, for you, you can't appreciate such a barking box."

After speaking, Li Er looked at the two remaining boxes and asked, "If there is anything else, please take it out for everyone to see."

Wang Dequan immediately opened another box and saw an exquisite four-wheeled carriage model inside. It was much more exquisite than the one in Changle.

When everyone saw this, someone immediately said: "That's ridiculous. This thing is just a smaller version of the eldest princess's car. How can it be presented to the Tang Dynasty as a national gift?"

"Is Cui Yushi too anxious?" Wang Dequan doesn't have a good temper towards this person. It was his Cui family that almost forced them to go bankrupt, so it's strange that he has a good temper. "This thing is just a model.

Because the carriage was too big, foreign ministers could not bring it into the palace.

This carriage is also the pinnacle of the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty. Throughout the ages, only the Ming Dynasty can produce four-wheeled carriages. Moreover, this carriage is also equipped with more advanced shock-proof facilities, which are superior to those of the previous Dangtu.

Nothing less.

Sitting on it and traveling thousands of miles a day without feeling tired is a small gift from me, His Highness the Ming Dynasty King Tingming, to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress."

Everyone actually knows something about the carriages of the Ming Dynasty.

The main thing is that four-wheeled carriages are really rare.
