Chapter 138 Marry again

Almost everyone knows about Wang Hua's spoof that Li Longji and Princess Taiping have successively looked for Wang Hua in order to compete for power.

This became a joke among the people. Li Longji made Wang Hua so angry that he almost vomited blood. Princess Taiping was rushing to Puzhou, but the speed was slower than the snail. After hearing the news, he threw several exquisite porcelain tea cups.

But I don’t know if it was Wang Hua’s spoof this time that Li Dan realized that he had done too much, so he issued an order again: “All the government affairs of the court will be handled by the crown prince. The important matters involved in military affairs, the review of the death penalty and the appointment of officials above the fifth rank must be discussed with the crown prince first and then submitted a memorial.”

It has comforted Li Longji's injured heart.

But not long after, Li Longji asked the prince to be given to Li Chengqi, but Li Dan did not agree. So Li Longji asked Princess Taiping to return to Beijing, and this time Li Dan agreed.

Li Chiying asked Wang Hua in confusion: "Are my third brother stupid?"

What a great opportunity, but Li Longji took the initiative to ask Li Dan to transfer Princess Taiping back.

Zhu Tong watched Wang Hua tinker with the bronze wire on the side, and replied for Wang Hua: "The prince is mature."

"Mr. Zhu, why did you say this?"

"If your third brother doesn't do this, your father will still pull Princess Taiping to maintain balance. Then your third brother will be suppressed even more. So when you are a human being, sometimes you will take a step back and the sky will be wide open."

Wang Hua put down the work at hand, turned his head and said, "The prince now has twenty years to grow. But if he hadn't occupied the prince's righteousness, he would not be the opponent of Princess Taiping."

Li Chiying was delighted when she heard this. Wang Hua's voice was that although his third brother sometimes seemed to force Princess Taiping to desperate times, he was still the final winner.

But Zhu Tong heard another meaning. Wang Hua said that he could grow up for twenty years. In these twenty years, Li Longji was wise and powerful, but after twenty years, he would go down sharply. But Zhu Tong didn't say it.

Wang Hua finished speaking and continued to do his job.

He was making something, something that occupies an extremely important position among Chinese handicrafts, but he couldn't use it in this world, a snuff bottle.

He remembered it when he saw the enamel burning and the incense-filled glass bottle.

Many snuff bottles were unearthed. Generally speaking, the price of snuff bottles is very easy to locate. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were three types of snuff bottles, including glass, jade, ivory, porcelain, and crystal. As long as the workmanship is exquisite, the auction price is generally between 100,000 and 1 million. There are also ordinary snuff bottles and snuff bottles made of coral, ranging from tens of thousands. Of course, if the craft is unique or has special significance, such as the snuff bottle used by Qianlong, the price may be higher. If the craft is rough, the price will be lower. There is also a snuff bottle, which is enamel on the glass. Because the success rate is extremely low, very few unearthed. Each piece is only exquisitely crafted. The age is from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which basically exceeds one million.

Wang Hua saw that the perfume bottle looked like a snuff bottle, so he prepared to burn one himself.

He burned enamel porcelain, but he did not have the ability to burn enamel on glass, and even failed to burn more than a dozen.

Seeing the worker laughing, Wang Hua angrily burned a porcelain snuff bottle, and then imitated the imperial enamel-colored plum blossom picture gourd-shaped snuff bottle unearthed from the Qing Dynasty (see picture). As a result, he was successfully burned at one time. The pot was not big, five or six centimeters tall, but it was beautiful and rich. Wang Hua asked the craftsman to make a jasper cover on it, but he had not played with it yet, so Li Chiying snatched it.

I used to be embarrassed, but now I'm married and have become thick-skinned. I have asked her to book the manuscripts of each of them. Of course, I can't give them to her now and need to be printed.

But more and more good things came out, which made her even more dazzled.

Not only cloisonne, Wang Hua asked the craftsmen to learn and guide other craftsmen after a period of time.

The first is jadeware. This time, the most materials used in the base of the tripod are ceramics and stone carvings, and then there are silk kes, gold and silver lacquer, lacquerware and jadeware.

Wang Hua guided jade carving and taught Xia Kai and others some of the later jade techniques. In recent years, it has gradually matured, but it is still a long way from the Qing Dynasty jadeware, which was a master of jade handicraft technology. Therefore, Wang Hua may have a little lack of hard carving technology, but theoretical knowledge can keep up. So he taught them how to borrow knowledge of painting, carving, arts and crafts from jade, and integrate techniques such as yin lines, yang lines, hollowing and color.

I found a few small jade materials and drew a mini version of the jade carvings such as Jiu Lao Tu Yushanzi of Huichang and Dayu Water Control. Of course, due to the different colors of the materials, some changes were made.

Not only jade, but also the five famous jades in China, Khotan jade, Henan Nanyang jade, Northeast Xiuyan jade, Gansu Jiuquan jade, and Shaanxi Lantian jade, but it also includes agate, ruby, turquoise, emerald, crystal, jade and other jades in broad sense.

But each type can be subdivided, such as crystals including amethyst, white crystal, ink crystal, brown crystal (smoke crystal), citrine, and red crystal called hibiscus stone.

Wang Hua used these broad jade materials to guide craftsmen to carve counterfeit versions of tea crystal crane pine and spring pattern pen holders, red agate carvings and garden piano piercings and other handicrafts. However, they are all small pieces, and large pieces are generally only Nanyang jade can produce large jade materials. Materials such as these crystals are small in size and cannot form large works.

Next comes gold and silverware.

Because of its strong plasticity, gold and silver had high craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty. However, Wang Hua still asked craftsmen to continue to make some handicrafts, such as imitating the Qing Dynasty's gem-embedded golden pagoda, the Great Weide Jin Mandala, the imperial carved gold gem-embedded pagoda, the golden snail of Padmasambhava, and so on.

This is to broaden their horizons further.

This not only requires a lot of gold and silver, but also a lot of gems. There are no gems on the cauldron body. If the gems are decorated, it may not be more gorgeous and light, and lose its stability, but a large number of gems will appear on the base of the cauldron. This time, the materials were prepared in red, blue, emerald, emerald, aquamarine, cat's eye stone, stone transformed, moonstone, sunstone (laphanstone, Heshibi is this kind of stone), Tianhe stone, various crystals, chalcedony, pyramid, agate, opal, peridot, malachite, opal, zircon, beryl, corundum, and even a few diamonds were found.

But these gems cannot be piled on them together. If they are inlaid, it is very important. Therefore, when carving jade and gold and silver, they are integrating this inlaid skills. This includes the enamel lotus pattern crispy oil tea lid jar made by Wang Huazheng, which also has a large number of gold and silver gems inlaid.

Then there are guidance on lacquerware and silk, and there are some imperfections, which will make the craftsmen more skilled.

But this is not a waste of materials. Every piece comes out, as long as it is a finished product, it will immediately cause a robbery. The cost is enough to recover.

Then he arrived at his old business, porcelain.

This time, Wang Hua personally handled almost every kind of porcelain, allowing the craftsmen to stand by and watch.

Now, the materials are basically all found. Except for some glazes that came to Europe, Wang Hua did not collect, glazes from Nanyang to Dashi were introduced one after another. In addition, the technology has improved day by day, which laid the foundation for him to fire various porcelains.

Therefore, with the cooperation of craftsmen, he made many porcelains by himself this time, which were one of the representative works of various porcelains in the Qing Dynasty.

Lujun glaze Ruyi ear flat pot, tea-glazed sheep head, eggplant skin purple glaze chrysanthemum petal basin, black gold glaze gold dragon pattern appreciation bottle, Li Yucheng made green glaze carved porcelain deer crane Xialing picture hat tube, apple green glaze embossed carved sea water cloud dragon pattern lantern bottle, turquoise green glaze Taotie pattern bowl, pink green glaze four-way Bagua bottle, imitation official kiln lotus leaf brush washing, bean green glaze dark tea bowl, sacrifice blue glaze imitation bronze bean, sky blue glaze convex flower zhang, yellow glaze carved landscape teapot, chicken oil yellow relief sea water dragon pattern rectangular tray, sacrifice red glaze slip bottle, rouge water chrysanthemum petal basin, white glaze autumn cup, Guangcai flower man

Large bottle of object pattern, ink color landscape pattern cover bowl, gold color **, yellow ground green dragon bowl, blue color cross wall three friend picture bowl, alum red color Kui dragon pattern sky chicken high foot cover bowl, simple three color hollow longevity teapot, simple three color duck-shaped inkstone drop, Doucai courtyard baby picture teapot, wine blue glaze Doucai figure pattern stick hammer bottle, yellow ground pastel flower fruit pattern big jar, pastel character pattern lion ear bottle, enamel flower brocade pattern bowl, colorful colorfull flower bird and beast pattern stick hammer bottle, blue and white underglaze red sea water cloud dragon pattern plum bottle, green green and white bamboo stone banana picture jade pot spring bottle, blue and white figure six-party vase.

(This chapter has many handicrafts, and I will explain them in detail one by one in the related works, including some broad jade)

Some porcelain technology is not yet mature, but fortunately, after so many years of experimentation, with sufficient manpower and sufficient materials, Wang Hua personally made it while doing experiments.

This is his greatest love in his life, and he almost forgot his current political situation.

Fortunately, Zhu Tong helped him handle the affairs of the Eight Prefectures for him so that he would not delay the main business.

But soon after, as Wang Hua said, the court made Dou Huaizhen the Censorate and the same as Pingzhang.

This is clearly Li Dan playing balance again.

Dou Huaizhen is Princess Taiping's number one confidant. While giving Li Longji a clear power, she gave Princess Taiping real power, forming a constraint.

The censor Xue Qianguang and the palace censor Murong Xun could not bear it, so they impeached Princess Taiping and asked Princess Taiping to present it to Li Dan. Li Dan had no choice but to release Xue Qianguang.

But there was a news that attracted Wang Hua's attention. Li Dan sent envoys to inspect the whole country. Some people thought that the jurisdiction of Shannan Road was too wide, so they divided Shannan Road into east and west, and divided Hexi Road from Longyou Road. In fact, Wang Hua had not yet returned the northwest at this time.

Wang Hua didn't say anything after hearing this. He had to pay back anyway, and it was useless to fight for this name.

What made him notice was the latter news that Li Dan divided the world into twenty-four governors, who were responsible for scrambling the good and evil gains and losses of officials in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the procuratorate. Only Luozhou and the prefectures in the capital were not affiliated with the governor's office. The right prince of the crown prince Li Jingbo, the prince's servant Lu Qi and others said: "The governor is in charge of the power of life and death, and his power is too heavy. If an incompetent person is appointed, the harm caused will be too serious. Now the censor's quality and salary are very humble, but his reputation is very high. Your Majesty sent them to inspect the local area on time, so the evil people naturally dare not act rampant."

So he stopped all the new governors again and set up ten more censors.

This news reminded Wang Hua of the situation when various towns in the Tang Dynasty were later divided.

But he still didn't say anything. However, he admired the eyes of Li Jingbo and Lu Qi very much.

There are two other news that attracted the attention of the whole world.

The first news was that because of Li Chongfu's incident, Li Chongmao was demoted to Jizhou as governor. When crossing the Qinling Mountains, he fell off a cliff and his whereabouts were unknown. Finally, the officers and soldiers sent people to search and found that Li Chongmao fell into the small river below the cliff. After a long time, Li Chongmao's body was found downstream.

Li Dan burst into tears when he heard the news and carried out a series of gift-seeking activities.

But it is unknown whether his cry came from the guilt of his soul or the tears of the crocodile.

The official statement about this matter was that Li Chongmao failed to fall down the cliff. Most of the folk statements said that Li Chongmao committed suicide by being unable to think about it. Another statement is also very popular, saying that Li Chongmao was intentionally killed by Li Dan. However, this statement is not dared to be publicly spread.

Li Dan also felt very nervous and dealt with all the hundreds of officials who were in custody. In fact, he had never had the idea of ​​killing Li Chongmao. There were two other masters in Oceania, and what was the use of killing Li Chongmao? At least he did not want to kill Li Chongmao now.

Very unfair.

There were only a dozen people who knew the inside story. The truth was revealed several years later, and Li Longji was also helpless.

The second thing was that Tubo was forced to helplessly and sent an envoy to request peace talks and to submit to the Tang Dynasty.

On the other hand, Mochuo also sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Although this is the contribution of the Blood Camp, Wang Hua is now Li Dan's son-in-law and immediately handed over the Northwest and Blood Camp to the court. Besides, the great contribution to pacifying Zhu Wei in the past, and the current production of the Jiuzhou Cauldron is also considered the honor of the court.

Li Dan was very happy when he heard this. Of course, the political situation has not yet been completely settled, and he does not want to start a war, so he agreed.

This news is also beneficial to Wang Hua, that is, the Kalachakus of Jiuzhou will be created immediately, and he will divide Tubo and Turks into the central province. If these two countries do not surrender, there will be controversy.

At the same time, Mochuo sent an envoy to propose marriage to the Tang Dynasty. Li Dan agreed to give Li Chengqi's daughter the title of Princess Jinshan and prepare to marry the Turks.

Li Chiying was stunned when she heard this. She finally rescued Princess Jincheng, but why did her father marry her granddaughter to the Hu people?

Moreover, Li Chengqi and Li Longji are brothers and have a very friendly relationship. His daughter often interacts with Li Chiying. Although she has grown up for a lifetime, she is not a few years older and is usually like a sister.

She found Wang Hua who was burning porcelain, pulled him up, and asked Wang Hua to write a letter to stop the matter.

Wang Hua said, "Little Princess, what can I do? Your father doesn't even believe his son who has made great contributions, so can he believe me? Besides, I will hand over the territory and the army immediately, it means nothing. If you offend your father, maybe your father will still be able to kill me."

This is an exaggeration. It means that you hand over the territory. Before Wang Hua sets off, you are also a fake relationship. Do you really have nothing to stay in the Central Plains?

But Princess Jincheng has some feelings for him, and he promised that Princess Jincheng would marry her. If she was unwilling, she would find a way to save her. As for Li Chengqi, he did not need to cause trouble. Besides, this is the beginning, and there was more princesses and princesses who Li Longji married. How could he care?

Li Chiying murmured: "Why is this? Why is this?"

Wang Hua said: "If you become an emperor and have the emperor's heart, you will lose your heart. Your father is not the same father as before."

Li Chiying made him feel angry with one sentence.

But the other person was very worried, Mu Zili asked in fear: "Erlang, you won't treat my daughter like this in the future."

Li Xuejun was very successful and gave birth to a boy with no blue eyes and yellow hair, but her skin was slightly whiter than that of the Central Plains, and she could tell the bloodline of a mixed-race child.

Wang Han also gave birth to a boy, but he was a little thin. After hearing the news, the Wang family in Taiyuan sent many gifts of congratulations.

Then there was news of Li Hong and Li Chiying's pregnancy. But Mu Zi and Li did not move.

Even if Wang Hua did not have ambitions for the Central Plains, he also had a vast territory. More and more people were equivalent to an emperor. Now he was deliberately unable to get along with the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would have left long ago.

She only has this daughter, she is kept as a "prevention of old age". She cannot do it like the Tang Dynasty and marry to a distant place.

Wang Hua laughed and said, "From her to Europe in the future."

Li Hong chased Wang Hua, but knew that Wang Hua was just a joke.
