The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, but the royal family is different from the rest of the world.
In the royal family, even flesh-and-blood affection is a luxury, let alone the ritualistic flesh-and-blood affection during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, Li Er felt something in his heart, but he did not immediately announce anyone to come in to discuss the range of prefectures and counties where it snowed this year, the Goguryeo people at the border, and other people in Mobei who, although they did not form an army, could still turn into bandits at any time.
People problem...
Of course these are all problems, but Li Er has also thought clearly in the past few days. There is no use in being nervous anyway. Why not just have a meal during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, what surprised Li Er was that Li Sheng went out again these days, so he had to host this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet by himself. Fortunately, Li Sheng was not traveling far this time, so it was not that worrying.
…
But on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Sheng went to a village outside Youzhou City.
In fact, for Li Sheng, the fellow villagers in this village are closer to the concept of relatives. After all, Li Er and others have not known each other for that long - so of course, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is better to go back to Youzhou.
It just so happens that Youzhou and Bingzhou are also the places closest to Goguryeo along the Hedong Road. Li Sheng is also curious about why Goguryeo seems to be dancing more and more recently...
If you go to the frontier for yourself, you might have a chance to see what's going on.
At the same time, on the other side, Li Er was also full of thoughts and held a banquet in Hangzhou. The sky was bright and the wind was gentle, and he also participated in the most popular show among the Tang Dynasty scholars, such as poetry competition and sword fighting.
In the early morning of this day, Li Er had not yet arrived, but the ministers had already been waiting in the palace garden.
The king and father can be late, but the ministers must be respectful. This is the rule.
However, as more people arrived, they started chatting with each other, and the place became very lively.
This year, officials from the aristocratic families headed by the five surnames and Qi Wang either ran away to avoid disasters like Wang Jing, Pei Ji, and Zheng Xuannian in order to preserve the fame and wealth they had gained, or they kept a low profile and did not show their faces at all.
.
Survival is still difficult, but the court is indeed much cleaner. People who talk are talking about things. Gradually, it is rare to see people who use scriptures and teachings to compete for fame and fortune. Needless to say, Haiyan Heqing, the palace held a ceremony on this day.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious.
While chatting, Du Ruhui suddenly discovered something.
This object is nothing else, but a seal on Li Er's table. It is said that during the hundreds of years of Wuhu's chaos in China, the sacred objects passed down to the country have long been lost and cannot be recovered. Even in the legend, Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty fled into the desert with her.
In the north, no one can tell whether it is true or false - the regime has changed so many times that I don’t know how many hands there are on this thing.
Therefore, since Li Er succeeded to the throne, either because he needed a seal that everyone could understand, or simply because he was lonely and insecure, he ordered people to carve many "treasures of destiny" and "treasures of destiny".
Seal, used as a jade seal.
However, this thing is nothing to Du Ruhui and others. After all, the jade seal is used to appease people's hearts. Li Er was originally one of the few kings in the Southern and Northern Dynasties who was very popular in both civil and martial arts for hundreds of years. The people have always supported him. Is there such a thing?
What's so great about lumps of minerals? Only those who want to usurp the throne need jade seals.
So of course what Du Ruhui paid attention to was not how luxurious this newly created "mandated treasure" was, but the material of the thing itself, which aroused his interest.
When I sneaked in front of me and took a look, it was even more amazing.
This newly emerged jade stone in the Ganlu Hall has a dragon-shaped carving that is as lifelike as a living creature, far superior to ordinary jade carvings.
And this material is even more astonishing, completely transparent, just like...
Just like the jade pot that Du Ruhui saw when he went to Hangzhou with Li Er before!
Du Ruhui was so impressed by the jade pot that it was also called a "glass pot" at the auction. Originally, Li Er wanted to take a photo of it and give it to Li Sheng as a prize for defeating the Turks - at least as a souvenir.
As a result, it was actually auctioned off for a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan. You can imagine how precious and rare it is.
Now that he saw the pure and transparent "glass" material again, Du Ruhui felt that his heart was so excited that it flew to his throat——
When he saw the "glass jade pot" before, if Du Ruhui was shocked at that time, now he was even more excited when he saw this thing.
This material, that glass jade pot, is not unique... Now that there is a glass jade seal, doesn't this mean that this "glass" material is not unique.
So……
That's right, Du Ruhui immediately thought of that thing called a "telescope". This thing also has glass inlays, and the key to a telescope's ability to see far is precisely the "glass"!
Du Ruhui clearly heard Li Sheng say at that time that the performance of a telescope and the distance it can see are entirely determined by the glass in it.
However, this glass is not easy to obtain. Because it is hard and brittle, it is very difficult to process. In other words, it is difficult to transform the material into the required finished product.
And according to what Li Sheng said, processing is not just ordinary processing. Sometimes the difficulty of processing industrial parts and items is much higher than that of handicrafts such as carved beams and painted phoenixes, because the accuracy requirements are completely different.
When Du Ruhui saw this jade seal at this moment, he felt intuitively...
The carving craftsmanship of this jade seal is definitely very high. It looks so fine. If you look closely, you will find that it is better than all the seals on Li Er's table.
Although Li Sheng said that the glass material was hard-won, he did not say how hard-won it was, but since the glass is not an orphan, and in the telescope...
The glass material used is not reasonable.
So... if the person who carved this seal could be found now, wouldn't there be more "glass lenses" in the future...
Du Ruhui couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the glass seal.
At this moment, Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin were chatting on the side. As they were chatting, they suddenly noticed that Du Ruhui looked strange, so they couldn't help but stepped forward and exchanged glances.
Damn it, that old boy Du Ruhui has a wrong expression.
Could it be that people are getting older, encountering a mid-life crisis, and falling out of love?
"Brother Keming, what are you..."
"Keming, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me. Everyone will be happy..."
"Look at your majesty's seal!"
Du Ru said coldly.
Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin both turned their heads to take a look.
At this sight, the two of them were stunned. This seal was indeed extraordinary...
However, haven’t you already seen the glass material?
