East Palace.

Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Shimin got up early, and when the palace people dressed Li Shimin, they specially dressed him with a ribbon made of five-colored silk threads. This kind of ribbon woven by five-colored silk threads is called longevity, five-color thread, and life-sustaining thread.

The ribbon worn by Li Shimin was woven by the eldest grandson himself.

The eldest grandson weaved several five-colored wisps, in addition to one for the emperor's husband, one for the Taishang Emperor, one for the elder brother Sun Wuji, the Duke of Wei, and one for Li Chao, the Duke of Zhao, and the emperor sent someone to reward Li Chao in Lingzhou.

Li Shimin even asked Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle, to weave a round bracelet-like ribbon with colorful ribbons, and sent it to Lingzhou with the longevity thread woven by the queen.

Cui Shi is eight months pregnant and is about to give birth. If Cui's son is born, then this kid will not only be the founding prince of Lintao County from birth, but also will be engaged to Princess Changle, and will be his concubine in the future.

It is also appropriate to ask Li Lizhen to give her future father-in-law some Dragon Boat Festival gifts.

Although in the end, Li Chao called off the counterattack against the Turks, which made Li Shimin a little regretful. But now, Li Shimin trusts Li Chao even more. Before the war, there were indeed some conditions that were not ripe. Li Chao was able to stop at that time, which fully shows that he does not only have the heart of fame, but really thinks about the court and the Tang Dynasty.

There are a few ministers who can not be impulsive after they get the command and decision-making power to command and decide the entire northern Tang Dynasty and hundreds of thousands of troops.

Recently, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee began to impeach Li Chao, saying that Li Chao regarded military affairs as child's play, and he wanted to fight with all his might, but as a result, the court made a big move, and the troops were dispatched, all of which were already ready and ready to be attacked, but Li Chao said that he would not fight. Isn't this a matter of military affairs as child's play?

There are also people who impeached Li Chao in Shuofang, and without reporting to the imperial court, they directly recruited 50,000 rebels, which increased the number of soldiers in Shuofang Town from 50,000 to 100,000.

What does Li Chao want to do? Privately recruited rebels and increased the army to 100,000, is he really just to deal with the Turks? Did he have anything else on his mind?

Some people also impeached Li Chao for privately setting up a military system in Shuofang Town, not using the general manager of the imperial court, etc., but using the names of soldiers and horses, commanders, etc., instead of army, regiment, brigade, and team, but what box, army, battalion, capital, team, group, and military system name can only be changed by the imperial court.

Some people even believe that since Li Chao no longer fights the Turks, and Shuofang has taken it back, there is no need for the imperial court to retain the division of Shuofang Town, and the eight prefectures of Shuofang should be included in Guannei Dao, or simply set up another Shuofang Dao. Instead of keeping this Shuofang Town, Shuofang Town's authority is too heavy, what is the difference between this and the original Xingtai? Li Chao alone took charge of the military, government, finance, personnel, etc. in Shuofang and the eight prefectures, which is not normal.

Now that Shuofang has been pacified, then Li Chao, the commander, should return to the dynasty and return the military talisman seal.

There are many pieces of impeachment against Li Chao, and there are all kinds of problems.

Some, just indiscriminately attacking. Some of them do address some issues.

For example, is there still a need for unreserved Shuofang Town? Li Chao recruited rebels in Shuofang Town, is it necessary to expand the army so much? And why did Li Chao use a new set of military systems and military titles?

However, after carefully considering the situation in Shuofang and the abrupt situation, Li Shimin still put these questions aside.

As for the impeachment of Li Chao, all the recitals were left unpublished.

It was Li Chao who recovered Shuofang in a month.

And directly using negotiations, all the meanders of the river were recovered, and it was Li Chao who did not cause the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to go to war now.

Now that Tang has recovered Shuofang, recovered Hequ, and destroyed Liang Shidu, a henchman, it is also a miracle that he has not fallen out with the Turks, and these are all Li Chao's credits.

It's too early to change someone to Shuofang, or to abolish Shuofang Town now. At the beginning, Shuofang Town was set up and Li Chao Shuofang was awarded the envoy of Shuofang, of course, not to create a place that was not under the control of the imperial court.

That's just so that when Li Chao recovers Shuofang, he can be more unified in power, avoid thousands of miles away, and report everything to the imperial court, waiting for disposal, so as not to delay the fighter.

Although it is said that Shuo Fang has been recovered, he still feels that Li Chao is still needed to continue to be stable.

Maybe it should be a few more years, and in a few years, when it is completely stable, Li Chao will be transferred back. Or, a few years later, when Datang is ready, it is still up to Li Chao, a talented soldier, to command the Northern Expedition.

"Your Majesty, there is a dragon boat race in Quchi today, Your Majesty said that you want to watch it, when will you start?" The chamberlain came in and asked.

Li Shimin opened his arms and turned his body a few times, watching the ribbon on his body flutter.

"Go and ask the Emperor Taishang to see when he will leave. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I said that I would like to invite the Emperor Taishang to watch the dragon boat race together. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The chamberlain bowed his head and bent down to retreat, but Li Shimin stopped him again.

"Send someone to the mansion of the eldest princess of Changping and ask her to accompany the emperor. Oh, also, send a chariot to the mansion of Zhao Guogong and invite Rongguo's wife Cui Shi to it. ”

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Rongguo sent someone to send two pieces of belly wrapping into the palace early in the morning."

Sending a belly wrap is also a Dragon Boat Festival custom of the Tang people. Belly wrapping is actually a belly pocket, also called belly protection. The Tang people's belly wrap is cut into an oval shape with red cloth and embroidered on it, just the size of a child's belly. There is a strap on the belly, which can be tied around the child's neck, and the left and right straps are tied around the waist.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, the weather is getting hotter, and the child sleeps at night and wears a belly wrap that is cool and will not be cold.

Cui's belly wrap was given to Princess Changle, which obviously regarded the princess as a future daughter-in-law.

"Hahaha! It seems that Cui's is pregnant with a son, okay, when she gives birth to a son, I will promise Princess Changle to him. ”

"Princess Changle is just three years older than the Duke of Lintao County, and Zhao Guogong also said that the female junior, hugging gold bricks, this is really a match made in heaven. In another month, the Duke of Lintao County will be born, and I don't know if Zhao Guogong will be able to return to Beijing. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile, "Now that we don't fight the Turks, and the relationship with the Turks has been restored, there should be nothing important for the Shuo side." It should be no problem to let Wen Yuan rush back when he arrives. ”

While he was talking, a eunuch came in to report it.

"Your Majesty, Shuo Fang Jie Du has made Li Chao pay tribute to the Son of Heaven!"

On the fifth day of May, the bronze mirror was paid tribute to the Son of Heaven, which was a custom that began in the Sui period. At the beginning, it was the mirror-making craftsmen of the Sui Dynasty who cast bronze mirrors on ships in the center of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou, and then dedicated them to Yang Guang, called the Son of Heaven Mirror.

Later, this custom was also passed down, and every year the craftsmen paid tribute to the emperor. Now, it has evolved into a local feudal official who will also invite craftsmen to make bronze mirrors every year, and then pay tribute to the Son of Heaven.

"When did Li Chao do this? In Shuozhou, don't forget to send me a bronze mirror? ”

"Bring the mirror, I want to see what the mirror sent by Li Chao looks like."

A group of chamberlains cautiously came in carrying a large suitcase.

Li Shimin looked at the box.

"Well, the box is quite big, it seems that this bronze mirror is also very large, at least it is a large bronze mirror of the same height, Li Chao has a heart. Open it and let me see it. ”

Although a bronze mirror of equal height is large, it is also relatively valuable, after all, copper itself is money. But for the emperor, it was not a big deal.

The large wooden box was opened, and it was filled with a lot of chaff.

When I opened it, there was still a lot of silk wool inside.

Then peel off the silk wadding, and there is a wooden box on the surface.

Open one, and there's another. Open one more, and there's another. After opening nine wooden boxes in a row, there was finally a small box inside.

Open it.

Suddenly, a bright light flickered.

Li Shimin was startled, the light was too bright, and a group of chamberlains were also frightened, and they all stopped in front of Li Shimin to block the emperor.

For a while, there was no movement.

Li Shimin wiped his forehead a little embarrassed, it was too embarrassing.

However, it also aroused his curiosity, could it be a mirror, but why is it such a bright light.

"Get out of the way!"

The attendants also let go in a cold sweat.

When I got closer, I realized that the layers of protection were a mirror.

A small mirror is the size of a face plate.

However, the mirror is also a little too bright.

"Take it out! Be careful. Li Shimin became more and more surprised and curious.

A bright mirror appears.

The mirror is square in shape, with a frame of non-gold jade material on the side, and an openable stand at the back.

A chamberlain carefully picked it up, but found that it was extremely light and thin.

If it was a large bronze mirror like this, it would be very heavy. But now, it's very easy.

Li Shimin came to the mirror, and a Li Shimin immediately appeared in the mirror.

Every minute counts!

It's so clear!

Even the pores on Li Shimin's face can be seen clearly, as if another self is standing in front of him.

Inhale cold air.

Li Shimin couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

When the finger touches the mirror, the person in the mirror also reaches out, and the fingers are simply touching together. There is no barrier at all, and it is impossible for a bronze mirror to do this.

"This is a mirror?"

The king's chamberlain also exclaimed again and again, "Your Majesty, isn't this the legendary glass treasure mirror?" ”

Li Shimin was also shocked, "I have seen some glass, but I have never seen such a clear glass mirror." ”

The mirror, which is bigger than a human face, is still a glass mirror, so clear and bright, I dare not imagine it. It's so thin, this show is clear, the mirror frame is not gold or jade, but it is as transparent and clear as crystal, but it feels completely different to the touch, and even feels a little soft.

"Such a glass treasure mirror is estimated to be a priceless treasure. I don't know where Zhao Guogong got it from, did he get it from Hu Shang in the Western Regions? ”

Li Shimin looked in the mirror stupidly, reached out to touch the person in the mirror from time to time, and then reached out to touch his face again.

"Quick, go and invite the queen to come, so that the queen can also see this glass treasure mirror together!"

Li Shimin received hundreds of bronze mirrors this year, the small ones were the size of a palm, and the big ones were bigger than this one, like a door. Many copper mirrors are polished very brightly, but no matter how clear the copper mirror is, it is not as good as one ten-thousandth of this mirror.

No matter how big those mirrors are or how many jewels they are inlaid with, they are not as rare as this mirror.

"Glass Treasure Mirror, there is such a glass treasure mirror in the world, it's really amazing." Li Shimin was amazed.

"Your Majesty, there is an inscription poem behind this treasure mirror, which seems to be the handwriting of Zhao Guogong!"

The chamberlain suddenly stood aside and pointed behind the mirror.

"Oh, Li Chao also wrote a poem behind the mirror? I want to see what he's talking about! ”

Li Shimin was full of interest, this mirror was so shocking, he couldn't imagine that there was such a treasure mirror in the world. However, he is now more interested in the inscription poem behind Li Chaojing. (To be continued.) )
