Chapter 41 Heshen Offers Treasures

Heshen showed a flattering smile on his fat face, and said in his unique voice: "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things and is working hard every day. The ministers see it and are worried about Your Majesty."

"Um……"

Li Gan picked up the tea that was relieved on the table and took a sip. It has been quite hard these days.

Seeing this, Heshen bowed and said, "I happened to find a strange thing a few days ago. It was exquisitely made and ingenious. I was quite happy to see it. I specially sent it to His Majesty today. I want to present it to His Majesty."

"Strange thing?"

Li Gan found it a little funny. Anyone who knows strange things better than him in this big deal?

The plane in the sky, the train on the ground... He had seen those "strange things" in his previous life, and I'm afraid Heshen would never dream of them.

However, Heshen's actions made Li Gan confirm that his previous guess was correct.

Heshen did intend to be his own licking dog.

As for whether this licking dog is completely loyal and reliable, it will take time to verify.

However, does this mean that the plan has begun to show results?

Li Gan rubbed his chin and thought about the situation at the previous court meetings.

If he had been timid before, would Heshen come today?

After roughly confirming that his efforts were effective, Li Gan was in a good mood and immediately waved his hand: "Heqing family, bring up the strange things you mentioned!"

"Yes, your Majesty."

Heshen was delighted and turned around to greet the hall.

After a while, two eunuchs walked in with a wooden box with red painted red gold inlaid and carefully placed it on the table.

Li Gan finally felt a little curious and thought that this strange thing was not small.

"Please see your Majesty."

Heshen walked over quickly and opened the lid of the box. He saw a layer of luxurious red silk at the bottom of the box. On it was a beautiful and tall round blue-white jadeware, which was decorated with nine flying dragons, with rugged scales and horns, and were arranged around it.

The dragon body is warm white jade, while the dragon's eyes of each dragon are green, natural, without any sign of sewing.

Below the nine dragon heads, there are nine white jade cups, which are exquisite and exquisite. Each one is embossed with a green jade dragon flying in the clouds, or leaning to the claws, or waving clouds and rain... Each dragon has a completely different posture.

Li Gan looked at the exquisite jade artifact, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He gently picked up a jade cup and put it in his hand to rub it. A cool touch came from him, as delicate as a beauty's skin, and the green jade plates on it were carved to swallow clouds and mist, lifelike.

Inside the white jade cup, there is a dragon head that extends upward, majestic and majestic.

Li Gan's eyes were filled with surprise and love.

Well, he admitted that he had never seen this thing in his previous life.

Treasures of this level are considered treasures in the museum. How could they let him hold them in his hands and play with them?

This life will be enjoyable.

Heshen stretched out his hand on one side and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this thing is called the Kowloon Cup."

"Kowloon Cup?"

Li Gan looked at the Nine Dragon Cup and nodded slowly. He seemed to have heard of such a name in his previous life.

Heshen continued to explain with a flattering smile on his face: "Fill wine from above, and the wine can be sprayed out from the dragon's mouth below, filling nine jade cups evenly."

"The most mysterious thing about this Jiulong Cup is the cup below. This cup holds the wine the most fair. When serving wine, it can only be shallow and flat, not too full. Otherwise, all the wine in the cup will be missed and no drop will be left."

"This is the water that is content is there, and the water that is greedy is gone."

"Um……"

Li Gan nodded slightly and asked Heshen to say this, he remembered the origin of this thing.

Legend has it that this was done by Fuliang County Magistrate in the early Ming Dynasty in the previous life, in order to please Emperor Hongwu, and specially asked the local porcelain workers of the "Imperial Kiln Factory" to please Emperor Hongwu.

After the finished product of the Jiulong Cup was made, the county magistrate personally rushed to the capital to get promoted and make money, and presented the treasure to Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't put it down after seeing it and praised the porcelain workers' superb skills.

The Fuliang County Magistrate who presented the Jiulong Cup was also quickly promoted from magistrate to magistrate...

The legendary result is very beautiful. The emperor received the treasure, the county magistrate was promoted, and the porcelain worker received praise... But how could a true story have a perfect result?

In Li Gan's opinion, this legend is truly a bit magical.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang? If you dare to greed for 60 taels of silver, you will chop your head. He will peel off his skin and be used as a weed for his whole life. Will such a person be promoted to him because of the magistrate of Fuliang County?

Moreover, the county magistrate of a place, who is responsible for defending the land, and is not allowed to leave the county without special circumstances, otherwise it will be severely punished.

If he ran to the capital to present treasures himself, it would not be a gift, but a thousand miles away to give birth to people. There would be no such way to seek death.

So, this wonderful story is either fictional, or there are many hidden stories in it...

Thinking of this, Li Gan coughed gently, with a chuckling on his face. No matter what his origin, he liked the Kowloon Cup very much.

This is an artistic treasure!

Giving goose feathers thousands of miles away shows your affection.

What's more, what Heshen gave me was such a precious thing?

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can still sell it for money, right?

Thinking of this, Li Gan decided to cooperate with the adults to improve his gift-giving experience and mobilize his enthusiasm for giving gifts.

Only in this way can the next gift from adults come sooner.

Li Gan didn't plan to grab him just once after finally catching a fat sheep.

Heshen claimed to be rich and could beat a country. There must be more than this Jiulong Cup in his family. There must be many more precious and useful things than this!

He wants to give away faster, better, and happier...

Thinking of this, Li Gan showed a kind smile on his face, turned his head to look at Heshen, and asked curiously: "Heqing family, is this thing really so magical?"

“Of course, naturally.”

Seeing that he was interested, Heshen smiled even brighter: "Your Majesty, if you have drinks now, you can give it a try."

"Okay, then give it a try!"

Li Gan smiled and ordered Wei Zhongxian, and immediately a little eunuch came to fetch water.

With the help of several eunuchs, Heshen also carefully took out the Jiulong Cup from the box and placed it on the table.

"Your Majesty." Heshen smiled and stretched out his hand: "Your Majesty please..."

Li Gan was not polite either. He took the dragon-patterned jade-curved necked gold kettle from the little eunuch beside him, and poured the water from the pot into the empty groove above the Jiulong Cup.

The clear water flowed over the white jade empty trough. After a while, the nine dragons below slowly flowed out of their mouths and fell into the white jade cup below, crisp as if falling from their jade plates.

Li Gan then added water, and the clean water in the jade cup increased and soon the faucet in the cup was gone.

Under the gaze of several people, the water in the cup dropped rapidly!

It was like a mechanism that triggered, all the water leaked and flowed to the desktop!

The eunuchs standing beside him immediately rushed to take the silk cloth to wipe the table. Li Gan didn't pour water, but stared at the wonderful Jiulong Cup curiously.
Chapter completed!
