Chapter 269: Empress Wu's Speculation
In the Qingxin Hall of Luoyang Hebi Palace, the martial arts queen who finished reading the book was a little tired, picked up a cup of green tea and narcissus offered by Si Yan and brewed it into a tea with a fresh fragrance, drank it all, and gradually relaxed between the wrinkled eyebrows, and the tired mind was also relieved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yue'er walked into the hall with small steps, although the scriptures were twenty-seven or eighteen, but a pretty face was still no different from an eighteen-year-old girl, and there were four eunuchs carrying a large cabinet covered with Shu brocade that was one person high.
"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Yan has presented a wardrobe dressing mirror, and the rest of the mirrors are ten large and small, please take a look."
Looking at the carefree smile of Yue'er, who has served her wholeheartedly for many years, Empress Wu was slightly surprised in her heart: "Wardrobe wearing mirrors? Could it be that this is a new gadget made by Si Yan's workshop? ”
"Your Highness, this is true." Yue'er replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yan also asked someone to send a letter to tell the slave maid that because he traveled thousands of miles, he could not serve His Royal Highness in Beijing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Pei. After the glass mirror was made in the glass workshop, His Royal Highness King Yan specially instructed the glass workshop to make this wardrobe for His Royal Highness to wear a mirror, in order to fulfill his son's filial piety. ”
"Filial piety is fake, and pleasing my mother is real!"
"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Yan enters the wardrobe and wears a mirror, whether it is filial piety or joy, it is a piece of his heart to be a son."
Empress Wu looked at Yue'er with a smile and said, "Over the years, I have seen that you girl has been saying good things for Si Yan everywhere." Behold, this child is closer to you than to my mother. ”
"Your Highness laughed, I was just a slave beside His Highness, and I was fortunate to watch His Royal Highness King Yan grow up and get to know each other."
"That's it, that's it, look at the wonder of Si Yan's dedication to this wardrobe dressing mirror?"
"Whoa."
Yue'er ordered the eunuch to lift the wardrobe and dressing mirror in, and tore off the Shu brocade covering it, revealing his true face.
I saw a dark red wooden cabinet made of nanmu, six feet high and nine feet long, exposed to the air, exuding a faint fragrance.
In the middle of the cabinet is a mirror that is the same height as the cabinet, three feet long, reflecting the opposite scene, and the people and objects in the mirror are so clear that even a strand of hair floating on the head of a person ten steps away can be seen clearly in the mirror.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the Qingxin Hall exclaimed in their hearts, and they were instantly absorbed by this unheard of and unseen mirror.
The eyes of several palace maids and eunuchs reflected in the glass mirror widened in shock, staring at themselves in the mirror, this, this is actually the appearance of their own life? Why is it so clear?
Empress Wu was speechless for a moment by the clarity of the image illuminated by the glass mirror, and after reflecting it, she quickly got up from the couch, strode to the mirror, and waved away the other eunuchs and palace maids in front of the glass mirror.
Several palace maids and eunuchs reluctantly moved their steps away, avoiding appearing in the glass mirror, sparing Her Royal Highness the Queen to look in the mirror.
Empress Wu trembled and touched her face in the glass mirror with her right hand, and the cold and smooth touch was transmitted to her mind.
His glances and smiles are undoubtedly displayed in the mirror, and there is no difference, even the bloodshot in the double membrane due to the fatigue of reading the book for a long time can be seen clearly in the mirror.
In the past, the bronze mirror used in the palace was not worse than the glass mirror in front of him, and the Empress Wu looked at himself in the mirror and smiled happily while being shocked.
On the treasures that Si Yang has offered in the name of filial piety over the years, there is no doubt that the glass mirror presented today is the most satisfying to himself.
Although the Empress Wu is forty-eight, she is carefully recuperated every day, and her skin is still as smooth and tender as a girl, and her face that bewitches all beings does not look like old age, although one or two nasty crow's feet are occasionally revealed between her eyebrows.
Looking at herself quietly in the mirror, Empress Wu couldn't help but think of the scene thirty-four years ago, when she was elected to the palace at the age of fourteen.
In the blink of an eye, thirty-four years have passed, and the girl who was once bullied by the four sisters and mothers because of her father's death and her two half-brothers in the family stepped into the palace with full ambition, and now she has become the two saints who dominate the world.
gave birth to seven children, except for the young girl who died a few years ago, all six children are dragons and phoenixes among people.
It's just that although the fourth son Yu'er likes to be his mother, Empress Wu asked herself, and she can't see through Si Yan's mind more and more, what is he doing now?
Nuo said that Si Yang had Anton, and recruited people to accumulate food in Jietun, and there would be a rebellion. But in fact, Si Yang continued to use troops overseas, and even dared to use any tricks in order to attract the people of Datang to take the initiative to go overseas, except for not directly tying people up.
In the past two years, Si Yang sent people to overseas to find that the islands they had conquered were unheard of in the past, and in the eyes of the people of the time, they were also remote and wild places, and no one wanted to give up the prosperous and rich land of Middle-earth and go overseas. But Si Yang is different, others don't care about overseas, but he is very enthusiastic, and he has spent financial, material, and human resources just to discover and occupy more overseas islands, and then he immigrated to open up and establish states and counties.
Nuo said that if he intends to rebel, he will inevitably accumulate troops and food, but in fact, judging from Anton's secret report. Of the more than 60,000 guards and armies formed by Siyang, except for the troops stationed south of Yalu Water to defend Silla, the troops stationed in various prefectures in Liaodong were constantly being transferred outward, either crossing the sea to conquer overseas or going north to Heishui Jian, so that the phenomenon of a shortage of troops began to appear in Liaodong. If Anton's spring ploughing is not done well, there will be a food shortage crisis in the coming year.
In the past, the courtiers who attacked and raped Si Yang in the past have nothing to say now, and everyone is quietly watching what Si Yang is going to do?
……
In addition to this glass mirror, which can fully reflect the person, the cabinet where the dressing mirror is installed is also exquisite and gorgeous.
Not to mention that the wood used to make the cabinet is golden silk nan wood (the surface of the cabinet is painted dark red, giving people a dignified atmosphere), just the various auspicious phoenixes carved on the cabinet spread their wings are quite popular with the queen of martial arts.
Empress Wu retracted her mind and circled around the wardrobe and dressing mirror twice, looked carefully, suddenly remembered something, and asked Yue'er: "After Si Yang returned to Anton, what were you doing during this time?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, the secret agent reported: First, Cui Xuan, the right-hand man of His Royal Highness King Yan, brought back to the cast iron city in Liaodong to make weapons and armor from more than 1,000 weapons craftsmen recruited by Tangxi Iron City. Second, Wang Hu, the governor of the Governor of Meituo Lake, led the army to attack the Heishui Warrior and was defeated, and His Royal Highness the King of Yan sent Cheng Boxian to lead the Phoenix Guard to help, and won three battles and three victories, defeating the Heishui Musket. Take the land of Heishui, Yuexi, Simu, and Junli, place the Heishui Governor's Mansion, take Cheng Boxian as the governor, and transfer the Zhenyu army and family members in the united army to move to reclamation. ”
"It seems that Siyang's desire to expand its territory is still very strong." Empress Wu smiled lightly.
"His Royal Highness King Yan is young and vigorous, and he takes Han Zhihuo's illness as an idol, and what he does is reasonable to see as a slave."
"Maybe?"
Empress Wu replied ambiguously, which made Yue'er a little confused.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Empress Wu smiled and ordered: "Just put this wardrobe and dressing mirror in the dormitory!" ”
"Whoa!"
