Chapter 148: The Calendar Porcelain (Happy May Day)

When the court was changing, Lanhe and other states were handed over smoothly.

Li Longji is still very low-key, although he has greater ambitions.

But at this time, he suggested in front of Li Dan, saying, "Father, I heard that after Tian Dan restored Qi, he welcomed King Xiang of Qi and was appointed as the prime minister. Once, when passing through Zibo River, he saw an old man crossing the river and trembling because he was cold and unable to move forward, so he took off his fur and put it on. King Xiang of Qi was suspicious of this and said to himself, Tian Danguang did good deeds and won the hearts of the people. Do you want to seize my country? If you don't plan early, you will be afraid that the next generation will be the next. After that, he looked around and there was no one around, but there was Yi Guanzhu people under the cliff. He asked loudly, "Did you hear me?" Guanzhu people replied, "Why don't you lead the power to become your own good?" Guanzhu people replied, "Why don't you lead the power to be good because of profit?"

.You just need to give orders, I am worried that the people are hungry, so Tian Dan will take off his fur and wear it for the old man. Tian Dan will show kindness, and the king rewards him, and his good deeds have become the king's good deeds. When King Xiang of Qi heard this, he rewarded Tian Dan cattle and wine to demonstrate his virtue, and thanked Tian Dan in the court. The prosperous market was widely promoted, and ordered to find hungry and cold people and adopt them. Afterwards, King Xiang sent people to the people to inquire, and heard that the people said that Tian Dan loves the people, and it turns out that it is all the kindness of our King Xiang."

Li Longji suddenly said this, Li Dan didn't understand why.

Li Longji said again: "Father, I heard that Wang Hua handed over all the eight states including Lanhe and the court. Although within the agreement, he could also be regarded as keeping his promise and having a loyal heart. But I heard that the court is indifferent now, which made me very worried. This person lost the northwest land, like a tiger pulling his teeth, a falcon leaving his wings, and never retreating, and he could also add a capable minister to the court. Everyone was happy to leave. Why don't my father give him a heavy reward? One is to comfort Wang Hua, and the other is to show his appearance and give the heavens.

The people who were given the king's paintings to the northwest are not the favor of the court, but the court's favor, which influenced him. The third king's painting won the hearts of the people in the northwest and comforted the king's paintings, and also made the blood camp soldiers look at the nearly one million people in the northwest, making them satisfied and lay the foundation for the court to re-govern the area. The ancients said that if people do not have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. Although the northwest was given, the influence of the king's paintings still exists. Now the court can truly take down this area with just one false title, so why not do it?”

Li Longji's words make sense.

Don’t think that the court has taken over most of the northwest areas now, but if Wang Hua rebels and raises the banner at one time, the people of the twenty-three states will have at least fifteen states to echo each other.

Li Dan was indeed neglected in this regard.

However, Li Dan looked at his son suspiciously, and he was suspicious, was this third son having any collusion with Wang Hua?

But even so, I should not ask myself to issue an order. Why not give Wang Hua a favor after the matter is completed? Besides, I have been named Wang Hua Lingxia King, and Wang Hua still does not give him any authorization. Can I draw anything else for Wang?

So he asked carefully: "So what reward should I give him?"

Li Longji said: "Nothing else, he still gave him his original title. The blessing of the court was that he had received was nothing more than a king of different surnames. If he did not accept it, the court issued several edicts to reject it. After he made the tripod, he could not gain a foothold in the court. Once he went overseas, no matter the people or soldiers, he had to obey the court's condemnation and cut off the disaster."

So the court issued another order at the end of the first month, adding the title of King Lingxia and the third rank of the Secretariat of the Secretariat.

When the edict arrived in Lingzhou, Wang Hua was inexplicably clear. Of course, he still did not give it to him, but he didn't understand. Even though he knew that he would not give it to him, the court would issue this edict.

It took a few days before Wang Hua understood the whole story.

He certainly did not have any collusion with Li Longji.

But Li Longji played this move very well.

Since Li Longji has betrayed Yao Chongda Song and Liu Youqiu in order to protect himself, he has cut off his arm's strength, but his strength has become very weak. This is also the reason why many ministers surrender to Princess Taiping.

I didn't have anything to do with Li Longji, but Li Longji just needs to use this momentum. Let outsiders look like he must have promised something about Li Longji. As long as he joins, the situation will take a sharp turn for the worse, and the number of people who defect to him will immediately increase.

Even when he was planning a change, as long as he showed his own banner, many dead soldiers immediately thought that their chances of victory were imminent and participated.

He smiled bitterly. The two men had already tried their best to do anything. They were immediately lively again.

But he did not pay attention to this, because the people had moved away, and the remaining concerns in his heart were resolved. Therefore, he could now concentrate on the production of the tripod and the cultivation of new porcelain.

At the end of the first lunar month, another pot of porcelain was released, and now Wang Huashao's porcelain has almost become a joke.

Wang Hua asked the furnace worker to open the kiln door carefully, and Li Chiying held the child behind him and looked at him in a daze.

In fact, she has seen the porcelain that Wang Hua burns many times. Although it is exquisite, there is no hope of burning it in her thoughts.

Wang Hua turned around and said to Li Chiying: "Why are you laughing at?"

"I don't have it, Erlang, you will definitely succeed." Li Chiying raised his fist and said erroneously.

Wang Hua was not sure, and the tripod was about to succeed, so he didn't have much time left. If he left Lingzhou after the success of the Kalachakus, he would leave Lingzhou and arrive in Oceania without so many craftsmen, and there would be no more materials for him to squander, and there would be no hope of success.

He said silently in his heart, maybe it was too difficult.

In fact, if this furnace of porcelain is burned again, he no longer intends to burn the porcelain, but instead replace it with another thin-body porcelain. After studying it for a long time, he is still very confident as long as he does not burn the inner tube to draw thin-body porcelain.

The furnace worker carefully moved the porcelain out, and suddenly a cheer came.

These are two porcelain bottles. But unlike other thin-body porcelains, they have patterns inside and outside.

The outside is a character and pattern. Tao Yuanming's "The Book of Peach Blossom Spring" has some patterns on the top and bottom of the porcelain vase. If it were only this, it would have been burned successfully. The secret is in the bottle, and there is a picture in the bottle, which is a painting based on Tao Yuanming's article. It is a valley, with flowing water and green mountains, pastoral villages, and many people are farming with happy smiles on their faces. In order to make it clearer after burning successfully, the knife is a bit deeper when carving.

Originally, the porcelain body was extremely thin, but because of the knife, it cracked as soon as it was burned.

Moreover, the cost is even more expensive, and it is impossible to engrave it after it is carved and then glazed it into the bottle. For its bright colors, Wang Hua used pastels, so he had to use high-temperature burning of the body, then use exquisite tools to penetrate the bottle to glaze it, and then repeatedly glazed it at low temperature.

Although it is a squint bottle, how difficult is it to glaze the formed bottle? After all, it is a layer of porcelain body. Although it is very thin, it is not really as thin as paper, and it is transparent and has an impact on the line of sight. Moreover, the bottle is not big and can only be operated by one person, which is extremely labor-consuming.

In order to succeed, many porcelain body were sintered each time, and multiple people were divided into glaze. Then they slowly fired and slowly slid glaze. As a result, countless working hours were used, a lot of raw materials were consumed, and nearly two hundred borough porcelain bottles were burned out. This was not the cost. If the cost was calculated, it was possible that these two porcelain bottles would cost tens of thousands of dollars. Moreover, it was not necessary to count the cost of Wang Hua himself.

Hearing the cheers, Wang Hua and Li Chiying squeezed over.

I saw the worker carefully holding two porcelain bottles in his hand. The porcelain bottles were about thirty centimeters high, not very high, but they were crystal clear. Under the sunlight, the patterns inside and the handwriting outside were almost combined.

Wang Hua immediately took them over, and it would not be troublesome if he was excited to fall to the ground. He took out a box covered with brocade velvet, put one bottle in, and put the other bottle on the table, pouring water into it. Then he turned it gently, and this miracle happened.

With the bright light, the entire Peach Blossom Landscape is like flowing, with green mountains and clear waters moving inside and the people moving. Because the porcelain body is thin and the transparency is good, it is like it is not a painting on a porcelain bottle, but a very light version of the real mountains and real waters moving on the table.

A worker burst into tears and murmured: "This is the real world's number one porcelain."

It is hard to say in the future, but now its craftsmanship, its beauty, and its cost are indeed the world's number one porcelain that has never been seen before.

Wang Hua said: "Send someone to send one of them to Chang'an."

This is not a luxury craft, because when carving, there is a line of big words on the bottleneck: When will the world be full of peach blossoms?

One question, eight words, immediately sublimate its value.

But there is one thing that Wang Hua didn't say. Why was sent to Chang'an? When Zhu Tong was in Lingzhou, Wang Hua said that when these porcelain bottles could be reunited, and when was the time for the world to be ruled.

Not to mention how symbolic it has, the accidental production of these two porcelain bottles has brought a good omen to the production of the tripod.

At this time, Mu Zili found Wang Hua.

Now Wang Hua only has the land of the Three States in his hands.

This is done to protect yourself. Don’t look at the fact that Li Dan and his son are trying to win over themselves. If they really have no power in their hands, try it again, do they still have this good attitude.

However, 10% of the tripods will still be handed over to the three states. Therefore, they also tried to delegate power to the officials appointed by the court. In addition, Mu Zili and dozens of people left behind, Wang Hua believed that nothing would go wrong.

But Mu Zili handed over some files, and she didn't want to divide Wang Hua's intention, but she couldn't solve it. Seeing that Wang Hua had burned out porcelain, she lost one more thing, so she didn't have to ask Wang Hua for help.

Wang Hua looked at it and found that there were several unannounced cases, the first case was a murder case.

Liu Jing asked his good friend to go to Lingzhou City to do business on Thursday. On Thursday, his wife disagreed and the couple quarreled for many days. On the day of the appointment, on Thursday, regardless of his wife's opinion, he got up early in the morning and left home on the boat he had made an appointment. This was the original confession of the lady on Thursday.

But Liu Jing's confession was not like this. He also came to the boat, but did not wait until Thursday. He was a little anxious. However, because of this, the boatman Zhao Lizi was very disgusted with him, so he asked the boatman Zhao Lizi to come over for him. Zhao Lizi came to the house on Thursday and called out a few times. The wife opened the door on Thursday, and Zhao Lizi looked for Thursday. The wife said strangely that she left home early on Thursday and arrived on his boat. When Liu Jing heard something was wrong, she and Zhao Lizi looked for Thursday everywhere. After searching for three days, she couldn't find it.

Liu Jing was afraid of something happening on Thursday, so he went to Lingzhou City to sue Mrs. Zhou Xi, saying that she killed her husband. Under torture, Mrs. Zhou Xi also admitted that she killed her, so the yamen runner asked her where she buried her body on Thursday. But no matter how torture was used, the place where Mrs. Zhou Xi said was wrong.

Therefore, when Mu Zili saw this case, he thought that the lady on Thursday was likely wronged. But she got up very early that day and no one saw it. She didn't know where the case happened, so she didn't know where to start.

The second case happened in Lingzhou City. Li Chong and Zhu Cha went to the Mitai store to stay in the Mitai store. But the next day, Mitai was found to have been killed by the shop's staff and immediately reported to the official. The yamen runners came to block the entire store, detained the customer, and began searching, but blood was seen on the horizontal knife that Zhu Cha wore.

So Zhu Cha and Li Chong were imprisoned. Zhu Cha refused to admit it, saying that he didn't know where the blood on the horizontal knife came from, because it searched the scabbard and did not take it out to see it, and he didn't know when the blood was stained. So he tortured and confessed, but Zhu Cha did not admit it, but Li Chong admitted that they were the ones who committed money. However, there were many wrong confessions. Therefore, Muzi and Li also suspected that this was an unjust case.

Other cases are similar to this, including murder cases, property stealing cases, and all the cases, Mu Zili felt that the verdict was wrong, so he brought it up, but he was unable to solve it, so he found Wang Hua.

After reading Wang Hua, he knew it.

I had to take a few days to sort out these matters. First, I ordered someone to bring Zhao Li, Liu Jing and Xi Madam over and ordered Zhao Lizi to kneel down and to attract the actual murder of Xi.

This sudden turn of twists and turns made people surprised that Zhao Lizi refused to admit it.

Wang Hua said: "If you knock on the door, call the fourth lady, and you will predict that his family will have no husband."

In just one sentence, Zhao Lizi's face turned pale, and the others suddenly realized that they had confessed before they could even torture. It turned out that Zhou Lizi was depressed and accidentally exposed the money he carried with him, which made Zhao Lizi become greedy. He used a rope behind his back to wrap Zhou Xi's neck, strangled him to death, then tied him to a stone, and sank into the river.

The yamen runner sent someone to salvage the body according to the location he mentioned, and then he finally salvaged the body on Thursday.

Everyone was convinced.

Wang Hua was not as good as he was. These were just cases committed by small people, and they were not comparable to the two major cases in Huazhou and Bianzhou.

He also tried the murder of Mitai, and called all the customers in the store and the people in the store, asking them one by one. Finally, he left an old maid who got up early to clean the house, but only let her sit in the back room for tea, but Wang Hua was handling other official duties. Muzi and Li were not sure.

It was evening when Wang Hua released the old maid, but said to a yamen runner, asking him to change into ordinary clothes and follow the old maid, seeing who asked him to ask him for something abnormal when he asked him. The next day, he called the old maid to the back room again and asked her to have tea. He invited him for three days, but the yamen runner saw a middle-aged man who had asked him for three days in a row. Wang Hua asked the yamen runner to follow the middle-aged man again, and then learned that he was named Fengjin and had an affair with Mitai's wife. He immediately sent someone to send Mitai's wife and Fengjin and tortured him. Finally, he realized that Fengjin had an affair with Mitai for several years, but Mitai was not good-looking and had a very strong position in the Mi surname, and the two were helpless.

That day, he saw Li Chong and Zhu Cha wearing a horizontal knife, which was different from others. He only wanted to decorate, from coming in to having dinner and to settle down, he almost never used the horizontal knife. So he came up with an idea, asking Mi Tai's wife to go back to her parents' home, wash clothes and remove suspicion, and handed the room keys of Zhu Cha's two to Feng Jin. After Zhu Cha and the others left the house as early as possible, they took out Zhu Cha's horizontal knife, killed Mi Tai, and then inserted the horizontal knife into the scabbard and put it back to Zhu Cha's room.

There were several other cases that Wang Hua quickly investigated. This convinced all the yamen runners and officials.

But Wang Hua felt a little worried in his heart.

Although there are murder cases in these cases, they are not earth-shaking cases, and they are found throughout the country. It depends on whether the officials in office are smart enough.

However, the number of various cases in the three states during this period was too intensive.

Either it was handed over to the court immediately, and the people's hearts would disperse. It had nothing to do with the people's hearts, and even in other prefectures and counties in the court, there was no such intensive case.

The main reason for this is the handover problem.

Wang Hua left very few people, and he was too busy to do so, and he was willing to delegate power. Therefore, not all matters were investigated one by one, but there were officials in the court, but they were afraid of Wang Hua, but they did not dare to take over. Therefore, some unruly people saw this situation and thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, which led to the intensive case period.

After handling these cases, he said in his heart: It's time to let go.

As February approaches, Princess Taiping wrote a letter to him, saying some affection, and then asked Wang Hua very tactfully what it has to do with Li Longji?

Li Longji repeatedly said good things for Wang Hua, which made her worry.

Wang Hua happened to reply to a letter, and at the beginning he said, "I have nothing to do with you, and how you fight has nothing to do with me." But I want to ask you something. Now if you want to be rich, you will offer flattering wealth from all over the country, from Lingnan to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Jiannan, Hebei, every road is filled with gifts sent to your mansion. You said that Zong Chuke's mansion was luxurious and luxurious, but now your mansion is ten times more luxurious than his mansion.

Speaking of power, except for the Supreme Emperor, even the emperor does not have the power to you. Most of the prime ministers and ministers from the six ministers come from your disciples. It can be said that in this world, you only have your hands to cover the sky.

Speaking of reputation, now the old man from the Tang Dynasty to the age of 80 and a baby from the age of three, who doesn’t know the name of your Princess Taiping?

But I don’t understand, what exactly are you going to do? Are you not satisfied now? It’s just that Wei Shuren, who you hate in every voice, is not as good as you now?

Do you really want to be the emperor?

Princess Taiping didn't want to be an emperor, and she had never even tried her best to kill Li Longji, but she was too nostalgic for power. So she became more and more overly over.

Wang Hua wrote again, if you want to be an emperor, I will not be able to help you. If you don’t want to be an emperor, please listen to me and restrain yourself, otherwise you won’t know how you died.

After writing, seal it with wax and let Princess Taiping's people take it away.

However, Wang Hua is about to enter Beijing soon.

On the sixth day of the third month, Wang Hua symbolically shaped the last piece of gold foil inlaid with dragon pattern on the long silk ke. The Kyushu Cauldron was finally completed.

Countless firecrackers were set off, but when they heard this news, the people in Lingzhou City burst into tears.

Because they all knew that the day when the tripod was completed was the time when Wang Hua left.
Chapter completed!
