Chapter 437 The opportunity came

This Lingtai, which has existed for five or six hundred years and has gone through various dynasties, has a lot of miscellaneous items inside, although there are a lot of worthless rotten furniture, broken jars and jars, but there are a lot of old antiquities and instruments for observing celestial phenomena in the old days.

After a total of four days of cleaning, a total of twenty-one truckloads of debris were removed, of which about one-third were valuable, but according to the prince's orders, all these things were transported to the forge.

Five days later, Wang Chao had transported all these artifacts, and the Lingtai began to be demolished.

Because many of the building materials used in the Lingtai can continue to be used, such as large stones, so the demolition process is not violent, Bao Jiye arranged manpower, these building materials are cleverly dismantled, classified and stacked, these are not included in the cost of reconstruction, the more waste is used, the higher his income.

Therefore, the earthwork piled up there is a lot of money for Bao Jiye, and it is cherished very much.

And Swallowing Heaven Chao Wang Chao is even happier than Bao Jiye, those earth and stones are soil and stones in his heart, and they are not worth anything. In his eyes, the most valuable things were the rusty iron, bronze, and even pottery.

In the process of transporting them to the melting field, Wang Chao privately intercepted three carts of utensils, of course, because each piece is very precious, and it is not too small to say that it is too small, so it is counted, a total of sixty or seventy pieces.

Wang Chao used to go to the gambling house to find a circle, where three religions and nine streams, all kinds of people and other dragons and snakes are mixed, Wang Chao was just looking for familiar gambling friends to inquire, but only after half a day, the brothers who heard the wind took the initiative to find the door, a total of three, all of them are very attentive, a mouth and a lotus flower, said that Wang Chao's heart is full of joy.

Wang Chao also had the attitude of shopping around, sneakily took the three of them to see a few antiquities, and listened to their quotations separately, so that the selling price took the initiative.

Li Yu spent ten days on the Lingtai here, and it was dismantled in pieces, but when there was still a large earthen platform, Wang Chao had already sold it to three buyers, and a total of more than 20 utensils were sold.

General Wang has now begun to look for a house in Beicheng.

The utensils transported to the melting ground were all sealed, and the Prince's Mansion sent someone to inspect them, but they were also extremely strict, and they had to be counted one by one before they were dissolved. The people sent by the prince were very lazy, checked a few pieces a day, and then boarded the car and left. It was repeated for more than ten days before he lazily told the people in the smelter to melt the things, and in the process, three more carts of utensils were transferred to the prince's confidant's house.

It's just that the crown prince didn't expect it, he just picked up the leaks, and the things he picked out were all things that he didn't look up to in the eyes of the general of the Sky Swallowing Clam King.

Antiques are a kind of collection that some wealthy people like to make, and the antique instruments for observing celestial phenomena give it a more mysterious color.

At this time, people are very curious about the movement of the stars, the alternation of the sun and the moon, and all kinds of celestial phenomena, and mortals standing on the ground, with some utensils, can interpret it, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is the magic weapon, the communication between heaven and earth, up to the heavens and people.

Therefore, when I heard that there was such a smooth flow, there was no shortage of people who were excited.

In fact, in the eyes of modern people, there is nothing to buy such an instrument for observing celestial phenomena, and in the eyes of most ancients, there is nothing, because there are some taboos, it is impossible to write the law in a grand manner, and even if it is written, it is only a general sentence, containing all kinds of possibilities.

Even if they are officials and have been officials for many years, many of them have limited knowledge of the law, relying on the experience of officialdom and common sense that has been boiled out on the way to the sinister eunuchs, and how many people will understand how dangerous it is to buy such a thing and keep it?

In fact, the emperor, who regards himself as the mandate of heaven, is extremely taboo about this kind of thing, even if you are a prince, a princess, or his siblings, once you come to the matter of privately testing the destiny of heaven, the emperor will be moved to kill, and even immediately put it into practice.

It's just that there are not many people who know that this is a crime against heaven and the common sense that is jealous of the Son of Heaven, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, is just one of them.

Li Tai's new residence in Yankangfang has been built, and the literature museum that Li Tai attaches the most importance to is particularly grand, with a separate door on the wall of the fang, guarded by officers and soldiers. Inside, it is quiet and elegant, and there is no cave.

Li Tai has recruited a group of celebrities from the capital to live in the Literature Museum, and sent people to recruit talents from all over the world, in his eyes, his Literature Museum is the Tiance Mansion of the year, he will repeat the legend of his father, through the establishment of this powerful team, set foot on the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme.

And among these literati recruited by Li Tai, since they are all literati who dance and write, there is naturally no shortage of people who like to play with antiques. Among them, there is a scribe, surnamed Lin Yufeng, nicknamed "Light Ink Green Shirt", who likes to collect antiques.

Some people collect antiques, only a certain category, and only have research on this category. And Mr. Lin is a miscellaneous family, any kind of antiques, as long as he is interested, he will buy.

On this day, Mr. Lin bought a celestial instrument through the old customers on the road, called "Hun Xiang".

Strictly speaking, this is not a formal armillary sphere, the official one was originally on the top of the spiritual platform, and was later disassembled and sent to the melting field.

There is no other reason, too big, too heavy! How do you get a big four-ton guy away?

This one, however, is the prototype model of the armillary sphere, and the purpose of building it in the end was to build one first, and then the craftsmen will expand the size according to the scale to build a large sky-watching instrument. After the construction was completed, this piece was stored in the mourning platform.

This small armillary sphere, only two feet high, is made of brass and gilded on the outside, so it has no rust and looks very good. The planetarium looks like a mystery, with four dragons at its base, supported by a ring in the middle with a dragon's mouth.

Mr. Lin got such a treasure, and everyone in the Literature Museum has just arrived, so they need to be familiar with and accept. Everyone is a literati, and of course there are topics of common interest that can be touched. So Mr. Lin moved the armillary sphere he had just obtained to his study in the Literature Museum.

At this time, most of the things that people put in the study are just calligraphy and paintings, the four treasures of the study, small utensils, porcelain vases and flowers, who has ever seen such a majestic and mysterious, golden thing.

A group of sub-literati suddenly heard the wind and praised this rare thing.

The little prince Li Tai knows how to attract people's hearts, and if he has nothing to do these days, he will run to the literature museum, and he will not put the prince on the shelf, and he will recite poems with all the scribes, play the piano and paint, and do some elegant things. Although Li Tai was still a minor, his literary attainments were quite high, and all the scribes looked up to him.

At this time, the little prince Li Tai came to the Literature Museum, and saw that the study rooms that should have been occupied by the scribes were empty, so he asked the little girl in the museum, and then rushed to Mr. Tsing Yi's study.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw everyone around the table and talking, Li Tai laughed: "Hey, what rare things have you found, so lively." ”

Everyone looked back, and hurriedly dodged a road, and someone laughed: "The little prince came just in time, you come and see, Mr. Tsing Yi has brought a treasure, many of us don't know it, I don't know the origin." I just listened to Mr. Tsing Yi's explanation, and read the ancient books, only to confirm that this is a rare treasure that looks at the sky. ”

"Oh?"

When Li Tai heard the four words of looking at the sky, he felt a little hairy in his heart.

"How did I get this thing in this literature museum? This is a troublemaker! ”

Li Tai's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, Mr. Tsing Yi was triumphant, and said with a smile: "The prince favors the kings and is most valued by His Majesty, but such utensils are not common in the prince's mansion, right?" ”

Li Tai Khan is about to come down, and I don't see it in my house? I see one in my house, let alone pampering the kings, I have to die! Even if my father favors me again, I can't allow me to speculate about the will of heaven when he is at the peak of his Spring and Autumn Period! So what's the point? Is it looking forward to the emperor's early death, or is it trying to usurp the throne?

Li Taiqiang smiled, looked at the armillary sphere intently, and asked, "Where did Mr. Tsing Yi get this treasure?" ”

Mr. Tsing Yi didn't blink when he looked at him, but when the prince was moved, he was reluctant to give away such treasures, and hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the prince, this view of the sky is a phenomenon that the minister bought from an antique tooth man with a lot of money, according to the tooth man, the Lingtai is being renovated, and some old utensils that have been stored for hundreds of years have been taken out and sold." If the prince is interested, the minister can introduce the prince, and maybe the prince can get a more precious artifact than the minister. ”

When Li Tai heard this, the heart in his throat "cooed" and fell again. But in an instant, a wave of ecstasy almost caused the little fat man to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

"Lingtai? The spiritual platform was supervised by the prince! The prince actually secretly sold celestial instruments? ”

Li Tai's legs swung happily, as if as long as he took one more step, he stepped into the position of the crown prince.

The opportunity came, and the great opportunity that should not be missed suddenly appeared in front of us.
