readx;
After inquiring about Li Shimin's presence in the Liangyi Palace, Guo Shan ran in after being summoned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Like the last time I saw Li Shimin, Li Shimin was holding a notebook to read the chapter. Next to it was a half-moved bowl of rice, with three stacks of vegetables.
Gonggong Kang bowed and stood aside with chopsticks, ready to serve Li Shimin with vegetables. But there is still a piece of fat in Li Shimin's bowl that has not moved, and it is not good for Gonggong Kang to add food to Li Shimin anymore.
Guo Shan, who walked into the hall, saw the food on the table that had not moved, and only then did he remember that he had not eaten either. Not to mention, I'm really hungry.
Of course, Li Shimin couldn't have stayed with Guo Shan for dinner, in fact, he didn't even look at Guo Shan, as if he didn't know that Guo Shan was close to the Liangyi Palace.
Guo Shan saw that Li Shimin didn't care about himself when he picked up the pen and criticized the folds, and he couldn't step forward to interrupt. I had to stand dryly on the side, and only when I was tired did I look left and right at the decorations of the Liangyi Palace.
There was a faint ambergris in the incense burner, and the palace maids stood in the hall without squinting.
Guo Shan settled down and looked at Li Shimin again. found that Li Shimin was holding the fold and tightened his brows, and after pondering for a long time, he put the pen to the end and threw the approved note aside. Gonggong Kang hurriedly put down his chopsticks and put the paper that Li Shimin had thrown away on the side of the table and stacked it.
He carefully reminded Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you can eat first." ”
Guo Shan almost fell down when he heard this, and secretly thought that what you said was too damaging. Don't worry about eating or not, you should let the emperor see me first, right? I'm here with something to do.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I don't have an appetite, let the left and right take it down." ”
Gonggong Kang said distressedly: "Your Majesty, you haven't had a good meal in the past few days. If it goes on like this, it's time to lose weight again. ”
Guo Shan looked at Li Shimin's waistline, and secretly thought that it would be good to lose weight, if he didn't lose weight, he would get obesity, and I was afraid that he would not be able to move when he walked.
Li Shimin did not pay attention to Kang's father-in-law's words, but pointed to the notebook and said: "Officials everywhere only care about corruption, and they don't care about the lives of the people. Seeing that the people's grievances are about to rise, how can I feel at ease? ”
Kang's father-in-law hurriedly consoled: "Last year's successive floods were not beautiful. Your Majesty, the officials of the state and county are still very loyal to you. ”
Li Shimin still didn't care about Kang's father-in-law, he said: "I learned from the impeachment of the imperial history that the state and county officials thought that their tribute was not good, so they crossed the border to seek other places. so much so that the people and money are wasted"
Li Shimin seemed to be in a worse mood and threw the note on the desk. When he raised his head, he noticed Guo Shan's arrival, and he said, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Guo Shan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and replied: "A few days ago, the emperor entrusted Weichen to send congratulatory gifts to the princes and grandchildren, and what Weichen wanted to say was that the gifts were ready, and the emperor should be asked to check them at any time." ”
Li Shimin: 'Oh? With a sigh, he said with a little interest: "I thought you had forgotten, where is the gift?" ”
Guo Shan hurriedly said: "Because there are a lot of things, the minister has not carried them." If the emperor wants to see it, he can ask someone to bring the gift in. ”
Seeing that Li Shimin seemed to want to see it, Gonggong Kang immediately turned around and called a little eunuch to get the so-called gifts.
Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Guo Shan anymore, and still flipped through the folds.
After a long time, he frowned and said: "On the first day, there was a thunderstorm on the flat ground of Chang'an City, which caused the horses in the stable to flee. Every family thought that a god had come down and burned incense and prayed."
Li Shimin muttered to himself for a long time, looked at Kang Gonggong and said, "Do you know what this compromise said?" ”
Kang Gong said fairly: "The old slave has heard a little, and some palace maids in the palace are talking about it." said that the thunder came from the Tingfang, and said that the Tingfang was a loss of private morality, so Lei Gong punished him with thunder. ”
Li Shimin snorted: "Nonsense, Lei Gong is a fool and a fool and a fool. How can there be a Lei Gong in this world? ”
In fact, Li Shimin still believes in ghosts and gods, but he doesn't like others to believe in ghosts and gods instead of him. Secretly puzzled in his heart, he looked at Guo Shan and said, "Guo Shan, your Guo Mansion is coming to Tingfang." Do you know about this thunder on the ground? ”
Guo Shan was embarrassed and shuddered. Zhi Zhi said: "Weichen, Weichen knows." ”
Li Shimin said: "Do you also think there are ghosts and gods? ”
Guo Shan sweated for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, it's not that Lei Gong is angry. Yes, it was Weichen who set off firecrackers at home. ”
Li Shimin was stunned, and even Gonggong Kang couldn't help but look at Guo Shan in surprise.
Guo Shan didn't wait for Li Shimin to ask, and hurriedly explained: "Back to the emperor, the firecrackers of the minister's family exploded very loudly when they burned. The neighbors didn't know that the noise was due to firecrackers being set off in the minister's house, so they thought there was thunder. ”
Li Shimin said unbelievably: "Even if the firecrackers in your house go off, how far can they sound?" ”
Guo Shan hurriedly said: "That voice sounded, and it could penetrate half a Wannian County."
Seeing the sweat on Guo Shan's head, Li Shimin was half convinced. He asked, "It is said that the stables are frightened, and there are many losses in the workshop. You know that? ”
Guo Shan was embarrassed and hurriedly replied: "There are indeed things, but I have already made up for all the losses that have been made up by the government to send money." ”
Li Shimin now has most of the faith, and sneered: "You Lei Gong is a good trick." ”
I don't know if this sentence is positive or negative, anyway, Guo Shan feels very innocent and speechless.
On the first day, he took out the firecrackers he had made and put them off, which really 'disturbed the people', and made a group of superstitious neighbors think that Lei Gong had been convicted, which caused a lot of trouble to Guofu.
However, the troubles that can be solved with money are not big troubles, so there are no lawsuits.
I don't know which official told me about this by hearsay, and wrote it down on the fold and handed it to Li Shimin as a ghost. Isn't that a big fuss? Why don't I just set off a firecracker?
Li Shimin continued to look at the folds and no longer paid attention to Guo Shan. After a while, a temple man trotted in from outside the hall, and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, Xielulang's gift has been brought." ”
Li Shimin raised his head and said, "Take it in and let me see it first." ”
Guo Shan also got up and watched the temple people carry things in.
Li Shimin saw that the temple people first brought in two things with cart wheels, and then saw the temple people carrying a wooden box. There's a big wooden box that's been brought in, good guys, quite a lot.
Li Shimin was interested, got up and walked closer to see. I opened the big wooden box first, and I saw that there were all kinds of miscellaneous things inside.
"What is this?" Li Shimin asked.
In his hand he was holding a square piece of wood, with many square holes on one side and none on the other. The length of the palm and the width of a finger.
"Back to the emperor, this is called a harmonica. It is a musical instrument made by the ministers with the help of Lord Zhang Wenshu," Guo Shandao.
Li Shimin was stunned and said, "Is it playing on this square hole?" ”
Guo Shan nodded, and saw Li Shimin's big mouth facing the square hole, and there was a 'woo' sound.
He frowned, handed it to Guo Shandao, and said, "You blow it to me." ”
Guo Shan's face instantly darkened, Nima, have you used it and blown it for me? Have you brushed your teeth?
But Guo Shan still took the harmonica, looked at the saliva on the harmonica, and wondered whether to wipe it or not?
If you consider patting the sycophants, you will definitely not wipe your saliva and blow into your mouth, indicating that you don't think the emperor has bad breath. But if he didn't make a sycophant, would Li Shimin cut off his head in anger because he showed his bad breath?
Guo Shan was speechless, and he wanted to cry without tears. Giving a gift and giving so many things out, why am I messing with anyone?
"Shall I blow it to you?" After saying that, Guo Shan quietly reversed the harmonica and wiped it on the corner of his clothes. I put the harmonica to my mouth and blew it.
A simple tune was blown, Li Shimin nodded, and said, "It's similar to Xun." ”
Guo Shandao: "It's really convenient. ”
Li Shimin said: "The song you played before was newly composed by you?" ”
Guo Shan nodded, and Li Shimin asked, "Do you have words?" Sing it to me. ”
Guo Shan sweated for a moment and sang: "It's strange that two tigers and two tigers have no tail, it's strange." ”
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and commented after a long time: "It's boring." ”
Guo Shan sweated for a moment and didn't explain. Seeing Li Shimin pick up another thing that was a glass tube and wood combined with it, he was surprised: "This thing is exquisite." ”
Guo Shan was embarrassed, the glass tube was actually not exquisite, it was extremely rough and a little ugly.
"It's water?" Li Shimin picked up the small iron rod in the trough on the side and shook the dozen or so glass tubes, and the water in them shook in different colors.
Guo Shan nodded and said, "The amount of water can depend on the different timbres, Your Majesty, you can just hit it with this little stick." ”
Li Shimin randomly selected a few glass tubes to knock, and sure enough, the timbre was different. He couldn't help but feel a little liked, and said, "You knock a tune for me." ”
Guo Shan picked up the small iron rod and beat it for a while, and picked up another small object without waiting for Li Shimin's evaluation.
This is a thing made of a small bamboo tube, and after being picked up by Li Shimin, I saw Li Shimin plugging his mouth at one end of the bamboo tube and starting to blow. Guo Shan was embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is not a musical instrument, this thing is commonly known as a kaleidoscope." You take this end and look into your eyes."
It's all novelty, not expensive, but it's better than sophistication and ingenuity. Li Shimin nodded secretly, thinking that Guo Shan had some strange tricks, and he did put a lot of thought into the gifts.
"In addition to these gifts, there are ten jade Pei'er here." Guo Shan was busy taking off the jade pendant on his waist, and the pavilion map was carved on it, which was very exquisite. At the other end of the jade pendant is the word 'Chang'an'.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and accepted the jade pendant without waiting for Guo Shan to explain.
Guo Shan was embarrassed, and secretly thought that I hadn't told you the origin and function of this jade pendant, so you accepted it as an ornament?
"What is this?" Li Shimin looked at the objects on the two wheels and looked at Guo Shan.
"Well, Your Majesty. This object is called a bicycle, and riding on it, holding the dragon's head and pedaling the pedal, you can ride against the wind, which is very interesting. ”
Li Shimin asked Guo Shan to demonstrate, and saw Guo Shan turn over and step on his feet. As soon as the wheel turned, the whole person went out with the car.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Guo Shan, who was riding a bicycle in the courtyard, and shouted, "Come down, let me try." ”
The palace maids next to them looked envious, they could be regarded as having a long experience.
Guo Shan persuaded Li Shimin not to ride, but Li Shimin refused to listen.
Roll over, sit on your buttocks and step on one foot. "Smack"
The chain broke.
Without waiting for Li Shimin to change his face, there was another 'click', and the two wheels were directly crushed.
Guo Shan's face darkened, and he secretly wondered what Father-in-law Kang said before? Let Li Shimin not lose weight? But now look at it, can this be done without losing weight?
