Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Princes' Gifts (2)

Chimes belong to a musical instrument in the pre-Qin period, and the sound of the bell is crisp and fluttering, and it is pleasant to the ear. And the bell is a very important ritual in ancient times, the status is extraordinary, the bell in the bell ringing Ding Shi refers to the bell, only the princes can use it, and ordinary people are not qualified to use it. Moreover, when the princes died, the chimes were also a very important funerary vessel.

Chimes are very difficult to make, because chimes are not just ringing, they also require a standard tone – to bring only them, and even now, tuning an instrument is a very difficult task, requiring a lot of time on the part of a craftsman and a lot of instrument calibration. In ancient times, when tuning was all by ear, the work would have been even more onerous.

What's more, the bells are generally made for the princes, if there is a slight deviation, the craftsman may have to pay the price of his life, which also leads to the fact that the number of chimes in the world is very small, even in the current palace, there is no set.

Li You was able to find a chime, which shows that he also put a lot of thought into it, but it was just ......

"Poof!"

It's just that when they saw the chime, many people at the scene turned very weird, and some people couldn't help but spray out, and as for Li Shimin's face, it turned even darker.

The reason why the army is like this is not that Li You's chimes are fake, Li You is just unreliable, but he is not a fool, he can't use fakes to fool Li Shimin. Since the chime can be used by Li You as a birthday gift for Li Shimin, he must have invited countless appraisers to identify it in advance, and it is impossible for it to be a fake.

The problem is that there are many experts who are proficient in antique appraisal......

The rustic atmosphere on this bell has not yet dissipated, and the sharp-eyed ones can see that there are still black stains hidden in some crevices - where is this a hand-me-down bell, which is clearly something that has just been unearthed for a long time, that is, this is likely to be a funeral artifact.

At his father's birthday banquet, his son actually took out a dead vessel as a birthday gift, which is too funny, right? Li You's personality is too weird, right?

It's just that now it's at his birthday banquet, and Li Shimin can't get angry, so he can only hold back his anger, black face, and say with his conscience: "This chime...... Father is very ...... Very...... I like it very much, you have a heart. ”

In the depths of his heart, Li You has been blacklisted, and after preparing this birthday banquet, he will clean him up fiercely.

"As long as the father likes it, the sons and daughters will be relieved." Li You was still unconscious, and bowed down happily, completely ignoring the pitiful eyes that others threw at him - poor baby, you are still in the mood to laugh, and when the birthday banquet is over, you have no place to cry.

Li You is followed by Li Su, this is one of the bastards who is as famous as Li You in history, and another of Li Shimin's two least favorite sons, and even compared to Li You, Li Su is even more of a bastard, Li Shimin even personally commented that he is not even as good as a beast (Birds and beasts are subdued, can be tamed to people; Iron and stone engraving, can be a square and round vessel. As for those who are stunned, they were not as good as beasts and beasts).

However, compared with Li You, Li Ke is still a little different, Li Ke is ambitious, arrogant, ambitious and talented, and finally failed to rebel and commit suicide.

And although Li Su is also a bastard, he has no interest in politics, but he is a flying eagle lackey, a scourge in the township, and a young man who is alive and well. It is precisely because of this that he was able to die directly at the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji in the later Li Zhi period, under the blame of the eldest grandson Wuji, and only ended up being degraded to a commoner and exiled to Bazhou, instead of directly dying at the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji like his brother Li Ke, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Only this time, he obviously had the same mind as Li Ke......

I saw Li Su holding a few scrolls and standing up and saying loudly: "My father's birthday, my sons and ministers are overjoyed, and they searched all over Shu, and finally found a pair of pre-Sui periods, Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goguryeo, although it is not a rare object, but it is also rare. Moreover, the father's expedition to Goguryeo is imminent, and the sons hope that this thing can bring good luck to the father, and wish the father a victory and invincibility. ”

"I'm the next Olympian."

Everyone was stunned, looking at the eight screens that were hung up by the inner servants, and everyone looked at Li Su in disbelief - are you sure you are wishing your father the victory of the emperor's flag?

Are you sure that these eight screens will bring good luck to your father and not bad luck?

Are you sure you're here to bless your father, not to curse your father?

Are you sure that your brothers are here to celebrate your birthday today, not to make trouble for your father?

What the hell is going on with you brothers?

How is one more unreliable than the other?

There are five people in total, and only two of them are giving normal gifts, and the remaining three of you are going to be against your father?

"......" Looking at the atmosphere of the scene, Li Ke covered his forehead in pain, Li Ke, Li Su, you are deliberately dying, do you know?

I just asked you to choose a gift that was not welcomed by your father, and I didn't let you curse your father.

You know that your father's expedition is imminent, and you also sent your grandfather's three expeditions to Goguryeo, and you are finished, you just wait for your father's punishment afterwards.

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, his heart was very unhappy, he wanted to get angry, but now it was his birthday banquet, today was his big day, not only his own people, but also foreign guests from all over the world who watched the ceremony and congratulated him, and he couldn't let them see the joke.

"Very good, your gift...... My father likes it very much, and after today, you come to my father's place, and my father and you will appreciate the eight screens of the former Sui Dynasty's "Three Expeditions to Goguryeo" ......"

almost gritted his teeth and said it, which shows that Li Shimin's mood is extremely bad.

"Uh...... This is not necessary. Of course, Li Su knew how excessive the gifts he gave were, and refused with a dry smile: "There are still a lot of things in Shu that need to be dealt with by the child, and this time I came back to celebrate my father's birthday, I was already busy, and in Chang'an these days, Shu may have accumulated a lot of things, so after the father's birthday banquet, the child will leave immediately......"

Are you kidding? Look at your expression, if I dare to stay here, you won't eat me? Fools would stay here.

Want to run away after getting into trouble? How can it be that simple?

Li Shimin smiled coldly, and even his voice was full of ice ballast: "No, no, no, you haven't returned to Chang'an for a long time, and your mother hasn't seen you for a long time, so let's stay here for a few more days and accompany your mother and concubine." ”

"I ...... So the child obeyed. Li Su saw that Li Shimin had moved out of his mother's concubine, and he was speechless, so he could only sigh helplessly and admit his fate - it seems that this fight will not be able to run.
