Chapter 47: Wrenching the Fingers

"Open it and take a look." Li Yuan handed the box to Li Zhen.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Li Zhen is not hypocritical, her grandson should have taken his grandfather's things.

"It's ...... Wrench? When I opened the box, I saw only a dark yellow wrench, which had been covered by a thick slurry on both sides of the box, which was obviously used regularly. Li Zhen didn't study much about the wrench, and she couldn't tell what kind of material it was, but it was very light to start with, and it should be made of bones or the horns of some animal.

"Yes, it's the wrench, our Datang started with martial arts, and Li Jiaerlang must not forget to ride and shoot at any time, which can be regarded as ancestral training. This wrench was handed down by the ancestors of Xuansheng Gong back then, and the imperial grandfather gave it to you today, just to warn you not to forget the foundation of your own life because of the inheritance of immortals, which can be regarded as a lesson to you. Li Yuan looked at the wrench, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

"This ...... Such a precious treasure, it's not suitable for grandchildren, right? Li Zhen was also taken aback, and hurriedly stuffed the wrench to Li Yuan, he didn't expect that this wrench would have such a big background.

Others may not know who that Xuan Sheng Gong is, but as the son of the Li family, how could Li Zhen not remember the name of his ancestor?

Li Hui (hào), the character Xuansheng, the small character Changsheng, a native of Chengji, Longxi (now Qin'an, Gansu), claimed to be the sixteenth grandson of Li Guang, a general of the Western Han Dynasty, and the founder of the Xiliang regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

In the first year of Long'an (397), Duan Ye called himself the pastor of Liangzhou, and took Li Wei as the commander of Xiaogu County, and was later promoted to the Taishou of Dunhuang. In the fourth year of Longan, Li Wei proclaimed himself a general, a captain of Huqiang, a pastor of Qinliang Erzhou, and a duke of Liang, changed the Yuan Gengzi, established the Xiliang regime, and took Dunhuang as the capital, with a wide territory and the Western Regions. In the first year of Yixi (405), at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he sent an envoy to serve the Eastern Jin Dynasty and moved the capital to Jiuquan, and fought for a long time with Beiliang.

In the thirteenth year of Yixi (417), Li Wei died at the age of sixty-seven, known as King Wuzhao, temple named Taizu, and buried in Jianshi Mausoleum. The Tang Dynasty Li also called Li Wei as his ancestor, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji Tianbao was posthumously honored as the Xingsheng Emperor in the second year (753).

In other words, Li Wei is the chief ancestor of all the clans surnamed Li in the Tang Dynasty, and this wrench is actually a treasure handed down by Li Wei.

The reason why Li Zhen did not dare to accept the wrench was precisely for this reason, a ring that has been inherited for hundreds of years is already an heirloom of the Li family, and such treasures should generally be inherited by the head of the family. Even if Li Yuan didn't inherit Li Shimin because of the Xuanwumen incident, then at least it had to be given to the future prince, right? What does it mean to give yourself? Could it be that he saw his plan and was using this wrench to test himself? Shouldn't it?

"What's inappropriate?" Li Yuan stuffed the wrench into Li Zhen's hand: "To put it bluntly, this is just a wrench, it's not as serious as you think, you can take it if you give it to you." Anyway, what are you thinking in your little brain, where did a three-year-old child get so many messy thoughts? Grandpa Huang sits with you, just like communicating with a peer, without the innocence and innocence of a three-year-old child, it's boring. ”

"This ...... The grandchildren are young and old. Faced with this question, Li Zhen also sneered, can you still tell you that the child in front of you is a soul in his twenties?

"Poof!" Li Yuan was drinking water, how could he hear this, and suddenly a mouthful of tea squirted out, milky white tea foam sprayed everywhere, and several concubines were all tricked, setting off pieces of coquettishness.

Li Yuan ignored the coquettish cries of the concubines, pointed at Li Zhen with one hand, and laughed loudly: "Young and old? It's up to you...... Are you a kid or a teenager? Oops, I'm laughing to death, hahaha......"

“...... Thank you for the reward. Li Zhen planned to ignore Li Yuan's ridicule, so she found a rope to put the wrench on her neck, her hand was too small, and she couldn't wear it at all now.

"Okay, you haven't seen your bedroom yet, I've already arranged it for you, let someone take you to see it." The holy decree is very clear, ordering Li Zhen to move into Da'an Palace to accompany the emperor, so Li Zhen needs to live in Da'an Palace for a while, and Li Yuan has already arranged the bedroom for him.

"The grandson obeys, and the grandson retires." Li Zhen bowed respectfully, and then withdrew from the palace with a healthy woman.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Fuzi came to Li Zhen with a lot of things: "Your Highness, except for the last one, which is more troublesome and needs to wait until tomorrow, the rest is here." ”

"Well, it's okay." Li Zhen checked it a little, these things are all 'toys' that Li Zhen came up with for Li Yuan, the reason why Li Yuan focuses on making children, in addition to paralyzing himself, another reason is - too boring, an ancient person is confined in a small world, what else can he do besides making children?

Li Zhen arranged for Xiaofuzi to make some leisure toys, although they are only leisure toys, but they are still very advanced in this Datang, and it is just right for Li Yuan to play.

After having breakfast with Li Yuan, Li Zhen took out a small box.

"Hachi, what is this?" Li Yuan naturally knew about Xiaofuzi meeting Li Zhen, but he really didn't know what exactly he had given him.

"Grandpa Huang gave his grandson a treasure yesterday, and his grandson was ashamed in his heart, just when the things that the child ordered arrived before, he gave it to Grandpa Huang as a thank you." Li Zhen opened the box and saw that there was a thick stack of bamboo pieces in the box, about forty or fifty sheets, each of which was the size of a palm, but the size was the same and as thin as paper, and there were various exquisite patterns painted on it, which looked quite exquisite.

"What is this for? Hurry up and give the imperial grandfather a good explanation. Li Yuan had a hunch that this thing should be very interesting, and hurriedly urged Li Zhen to explain it quickly.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, this thing is still easy to learn." Li Zhen spread out all the bamboo pieces and explained: "This thing is called cards, also known as playing cards, and it is a kind of game toy that requires at least three people to play together, which is very fun. A deck of playing cards has a total of fifty-four cards, divided into spades, hearts, clubs, square four suits, each suit from one to thirteen each card, in addition to these fifty-two cards of normal suit, there are two other decks, called big ghosts and small ghosts, this is the introduction of all the cards of playing cards. ”

The first toy Li Zhen took out was playing cards, and there was originally mahjong, but the production of mahjong was too troublesome, and it has not been done yet, so it can only wait for tomorrow.

As for why playing cards are made of bamboo? You are willing to be Li Zhen, but the quality of the paper in this year is either outrageous or outrageous, just like rice paper and bamboo paper, the quality of rice paper is very good, but the rice paper is too soft to make playing cards, even if it is barely made, it will be scrapped after playing for a long time; Bamboo paper is just the opposite, the bamboo paper is too hard, just like a biscuit, it will break when it is broken, and it can't be made into a playing card.
