Seventy-three Viewing Artifacts
When Huo Lian came to the imperial city, the emperor was still in the imperial study, and there were seven or eight officials, standing in a room full of talking and laughing, seeing Huo Lian striding in, with a long sword behind him, the atmosphere in the hall was condensed.
The only one who could bring in with weapons was Huo Lian.
Uncle Li Guo, as a good man, took the lead in breaking the stagnation with a smile: "It has to be Huo Dudu, as soon as he heard that it was related to military affairs, he directly brought weapons, and when the time comes, he can personally test them for His Majesty."
The emperor also smiled, it doesn't matter if the test is not tested, the important thing is that it is safer to have Huo Lian with a weapon by his side, and he doesn't need to be reminded that he will not be secretly laughed at by the courtiers for being timid, or being considered wary and chilling.
He glanced at the sword, the shape was simple, it looked like a ritual weapon, and he didn't know if it was useless.
"This Lord Liu, the mysterious god doesn't say anything." The emperor said, and said to the eunuchs, "Go and see, are you ready?" Let's all wait, if he doesn't look good, I won't spare him."
The big eunuch smiled and replied, "The slave and maid will go and urge it personally."
In fact, the five horses had already said that it was okay, but Huo Dudu couldn't come, how could he let His Majesty pass.
The big eunuch went out for a walk, and asked the chamberlain to tell the Emperor Wufu that he was going over, so he turned around and said with a smile that he was ready.
The emperor took his ministers to the school.
The willow horse greeted him on the side of the platform, and there was an object in the field, covered with a cloth, and it was impossible to see what it was.
"What's new?" The emperor asked, and said, "You are the newly appointed young eunuch, don't lose my face."
Liu Juma was still a little timid, but his eyes were shining, and he couldn't hide his excitement and pride: "Your Majesty, don't worry."
As he spoke, he waved to the handymen in the school yard.
The three miscellaneous servants tore off the cover, and the emperor and the ministers on the stage looked slightly surprised, and then some ministers couldn't help laughing.
Some people even said, "I don't know if it's a kite or an ornament? Lord Liu has a unique vision, and he has really never seen anything like this before."
This was said with undisguised mockery.
The emperor looked at the kite-shaped wooden bird in the field, and was also a little speechless.
If you want to say it's a kite, it's bigger than this, it's much more gorgeous than this kite.
If you want to say that it is an ornament, this wooden bird is not very lifelike, but clumsy and simple, as if it is a patchwork of several pieces of wood.
This willow horse is lifted proudly, I don't know how thick the sky is?
However, Huo Lian and Liu Yan didn't smile, looking at the ugly wooden bird in the field, their expressions thoughtful.
"It's not an ornament, it's not a kite." Liu Fuma didn't care about everyone's ridicule, and he didn't be sincerely frightened by the emperor's expression, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty and your lords will continue to watch."
As he spoke, he waved his hand at the miscellaneous servants in the field, and as he swung it, several of the miscellaneous servants pushed a ramp in front of the wooden bird, apparently to push the wooden bird up.
"I know, it's like flying a kite's string, it's about making the woodbird fly." A minister said with a smile.
The other ministers shook their heads with laughter.
"Actually, it's not difficult to make a kite into a bird." One official said, "The craftsmanship of the craftsman can do it."
A few people here were talking, and suddenly one of them muttered.
"The willow horse is really ingenious!"
What's wrong? The few people who spoke looked over, and their expressions were also shocked, it turned out that in addition to the handymen who pushed the wooden birds, there was a thin handyman like a child who climbed up the woodbird and was using a leather case to bind his hands and feet, which was clearly ......
"Ridiculous!"
"Nonsense!"
The officials on the stage were no longer mocking, but scolding.
There have always been many people who want to fly on kites, especially in the spring, often hear such dead and injured eucalyptus, what is tied to the kite, what is tied to their arms with wings, from the mountain to jump down from the house all kinds of messy ways to fly, the result is only one, either died on the spot, or seriously injured and disabled.
Why did the willow horse go crazy too?
Even if you have to go crazy and hide
went crazy in the Horse Mansion and ran to the emperor, if someone died on the spot, it would become a joke in the history books!
The Emperor's joke!
The emperor's face was not good-looking.
"Your Majesty, please believe me." "I've tried a few times, and I haven't failed."
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, he waved his hand directly to the bottom.
The handyman on the woodbird has already tied himself, leaned over and crawled, holding a certain place on the woodbird's body with both hands, with the push of several handymen, the woodbird slid up the slope, it was uphill, but the woodbird did not look heavier and heavier, but with the speed of pushing faster and faster, in the end it even broke away from the push of the handymen.
"Your Majesty!"
"Young Eunuch Liu is bold!"
There was even a minister who grabbed Huo Lian: "Huo Dudu, stop them with your sword!"
With a chaotic shout, the emperor's gloomy face was gloomy, and the wooden bird that climbed to the top of the slope fell down......
A silent exclamation sounded, but the woodbird in sight did not fall to the ground, but flew up.
The wooden bird flew like a kite, and although it looked like it was about to fall at any moment, it never fell.
The screams gradually dissipated, and everyone watched in disbelief as the wooden bird flew from one end of the school yard to the other.
"Hodudu." An official suddenly shouted, "How are your archery skills?"
This sentence seemed sudden, but it made the officials present wake up instantly, Huo Lian did not hesitate, nor did he ask the emperor, he directly asked the guards around him for a bow and arrow, and raised it to the wooden bird-
With a buzz, the feather arrow broke through the air and hit the bottom of the wooden bird, but it obviously lost its strength and fell lightly.
With one arrow after another, the wooden bird was always above the range of the feather arrows, and slowly flew to the other side of the school field, first slowly falling, and finally planting on the ground, the bird's body collided with the ground, making a chaotic sound.
The miscellaneous servants who were waiting there rushed up, and the officials on the high platform also stood outside one after another, intently looking.
"How's the people?" The Emperor asked eagerly.
The handyman was lifted up from the scattered bird, and with the wave of the willow horse, he was helped up again.
The handyman's face was pale, obviously frightened, his arms and legs collided slightly, and he walked unsteadily, but he could barely stand still.
"I've seen Your Majesty." He knelt down and bowed, and said in a trembling voice.
The consciousness was also sober, and the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his palm and said in a loud voice, "Good, good."
The other officials simply walked down from the high platform, some around the handyman and asked, while others went around the wooden bird.
"Han Fei said that Mozi is a wooden kite, which is grown in three years, and it is defeated in one day." Some officials also muttered, "Han is very read, but this wooden kite is the first time I have seen it."
"The male loser cuts the bamboo and wood and thinks it is a magpie, and it flies for three days." Another official sighed, "With kites already a common thing, I just didn't expect that there could be such a kite!"
The emperor was not interested in rummaging through the records in the book, he only looked at the willow horse, and could not hide his excitement.
It is indeed not uncommon to be able to fly, and kites can also do it, but it is really rare to be able to fly alone, and it can fly outside the range, which is indeed a military artifact.
"It's just that the distance is still too short, and it can't do the legendary flying for one day and flying for three days." "We have to keep improving."
The emperor looked at him like a treasure: "Don't hurry, don't hurry, take your time."
An official from the military department next to him laughed: "This distance is also okay, when the two armies fight, they can directly throw the soldiers into the opponent's army formation, and fall from the sky, if you can't kill them, you can scare them to death, and mess up the morale of the army."
"This wooden bird seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to do, and I have only had one for so long, and I have to look at the time of day to fly, not anytime and anywhere."
The emperor was not demanding, and said with a smile: "Being able to spy on the enemy formation and detect ambushes is already miraculous enough."
A voice sounded in the midst of laughter.
"Where did Young Eunuch Liu get this? Could it be Momen?"
These words made the atmosphere of joy freeze.
Mozi had already been mentioned by officials before, but the Mozi in Han Feizi's mouth slipped by.
Because everyone knows that Momen is a taboo for the emperor, and there is a sense of proportion in what to say and what not to say.
Who is so short-sighted?
Everyone looked and saw that it was Liu Yan.
Since Liu Yan asked, the emperor's expression was not angry, and only the smile in his eyes dispersed.
"yes." He said, looking at the horses, "Where did you get this?" Neither the Young Mansion nor the Craftsman has ever appeared."
Otherwise, it wouldn't have waited until now to appear, and the people who want to give credit are not the only ones.
Liu Juma was not frightened, and said calmly: "When the minister was young, he was playful, he liked fresh kit kit, he visited everywhere, he once saw some old craftsmen in the countryside, and he saw them show wooden birds, but it was just a thing of fun for him, and he left it when he saw it, and as the minister got more and more attention from His Majesty, and wanted these strange skills to be used by His Majesty, he sent people to find these old craftsmen, and ordered them to study more skills, and not long ago finally got good news, and created a wooden bird that can carry people, and tried it many times, The minister also rode up and tried it himself, before he dared to dedicate it to His Majesty, as for those old craftsmen, they were all born in the countryside, their family passed down their crafts, and they were from white families, and they were not connected with the evil sect."
Everyone knows that Liu Juma has always been famous, and it is polite to say that he is playful, but in fact, he is idle.
Sometimes fun-loving people can really figure out new things that ordinary people don't think about.
And there are indeed many talented people hidden in the countryside.
An official coughed lightly: "Lord Liu, you can't say that it is Momen when you see something KitKat, and when it comes to KitKat, there are also public losers, but craftsmen in the world are called Luban disciples."
Liu Juma said again: "Those old craftsmen are in the minister's house, if Lord Liu is not at ease, you can take them to inquire."
Another voice rang out.
"If you want to ask, you don't need Lord Liu, this is the duty of our Metropolitan Judge."
These words made the scene freeze again, and his eyes looked at Huo Lian, who was standing beside the emperor.
He is indeed more suitable than Liu Yan, after all, Momen is destroyed in his hands.
"Can Lord Liu be willing?" Huo Lian looked at Liu Juma and asked again.
Liu Juma was a little nervous, but replied respectfully, "This is going to send people to the Metropolitan Judge."
The emperor looked at Huo Lian and said, "It's good to find out, no matter how much it is an artifact, it can't be a crooked thing."
Huo Lian leaned over and responded.
Liu Yan didn't say anything anymore, whether it was about duty or the emperor's attention, only Huo Lian could do this.
For the next two days, all the officials talked about it, and it was indeed incredible that the wooden bird pack man flew in the sky, which has always existed only in legends and myths.
Liu Yan was not the slightest surprised, nor was he interested in exploring this kit kat.
"Do you think it must be Momen's skill?" The attendant asked in a low voice, and added, "There is no movement from the Metropolitan Inspector's side."
According to the speed of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, it is impossible that there has been no news for two days.
If there is no news, it is very likely that he is not a Mo disciple.
Liu Yan said, "Even if these old craftsmen are not Momen, this skill must be from Momen."
"Moxue has always been selfish, and it is common for it to be taught to ordinary craftsmen." Said the attendant.
Maybe it was the Seven Stars who taught those craftsmen themselves.
Hasn't Momen always wanted to clear his name? Offering skills and inviting credit is one way.
Of course Liu Yan also knows this, but-
"Why are you doing it at this moment?" He said.
At this moment? The entourage was stunned, what moment?
"If she really wants to offer her skills, she should do it, and then ask for the Great Wall of the North." Liu Yan said.
At that time, he also told Qixing the same, but the woman didn't want to talk to the court at all, as long as she went to build the Great Wall immediately, and did not hesitate to wear the guilt.
Why did you leave and then perform again?
"Maybe it's also for an extra layer of protection." The attendant said, "After all, it is very troublesome for the scapegoat to be discovered, and when the time comes, I can let it be done."
Your Majesty is a little more forgiving."
A wooden bird that can carry people to fly, although it is magical, it is not enough to make His Majesty tolerant.
Liu Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe there is someone else who wants to be forgiven by His Majesty."
The entourage was stunned, someone else? Who else could there be?
Liu Yan said, "Go and ask the rich man, they know about this matter."
The entourage responded that he wanted to turn around, but was called by Liu Yan again.
"Don't go to Huixian Tower, go to Linglong Fang."
Today's Linglong Fang is the main door of Momen, and the entourage went immediately, but soon came back, looking a little bad.
"Your Excellency." He whispered, "Linglong Fang has received news that there are soldiers and horses rounding up Miss Seven Stars along the way."
Liu Yan frowned and stood up.
It's really weird!
