Chapter 137: Playing with the World The news that Wang Hua sent Princess Jincheng away also spread to the court. Li Longji angrily wrote a letter asking Wang Hua, what on earth are you going to do? ¡°If there is still a wish to be sent back to Chang¡¯an and sent to Oceania, what will be the fate of Princess Jincheng in the end? Will she still marry Song Wen and become a concubine with Xiao Yaxuan? ¡° Then Wang Hua plus Li Guoer plus his sister, plus Jincheng Li Longji was furious. In fact, he really misunderstood Wang Hua. Wang Hua still regards Princess Jincheng as his younger sister. As for how it will develop in the future, Wang Hua has never thought about it. After receiving Li Longji¡¯s letter, Wang Hua replied with a letter saying, Originally, I wanted to send Princess Jincheng back to Chang¡¯an, but your sister said she wanted to send Li Nunu to Oceania. You said should I listen to you or my wife? After Li Longji received the letter, his face was blue for a long time, and Li Nunu came. Wang Hua played a trick and asked Li Chiying. It had nothing to do with whether to explain to the court or not. It was mainly to comfort the harem, fearing that the wives and concubines would be jealous. So I said that Princess Jincheng would be sent back soon, but once I handed over the military power, the court would not take me seriously, and then what should I do if she was sent back to Tubo? Li Chiying didn¡¯t think twice about it and said pitifully, then send it to Oceania. ? Okay, send it off. But Li Longji couldn't have an attack because the situation was getting more and more tense. Wang Hua will play a fatal role again. Wang Huayun was calm and had no intention of interfering with his affairs with Princess Taiping. He is now preparing to make the Kyushu Cauldron. This is a sacred object. He has to purify his heart, just like playing the piano. If he doesn't purify his heart and devote himself to it, the handicraft will have no soul. Let¡¯s start with the tripod body. It¡¯s very difficult. It¡¯s not that cloisonn¨¦ technology is very complicated. It¡¯s said that the Japanese took over China¡¯s cloisonne craftsmanship and used a tie dipped in glaze. It has a nose and eyes. That¡¯s a lie. The Japanese have Qibao Yaki, which is no less impressive than cloisonn¨¦ craftsmanship. How many. However, a large piece of work like the tripod involves a problem. It must use a casting process, that is, a thick copper tire is used. Once fired, it becomes a honeycomb shape. Guan Jian adds tin, lead and zinc, otherwise the copper will melt. The end is very sticky, and this requires careful debugging. This technology was lost for a long time and was only developed later. However, Wang Hua knew many ingredients because he had fired enamel porcelain, but he did not know much about the tire casting process. Wang Hua has been researching and developing it for several years. He had an idea and later put it on porcelain. Generally speaking, neither glaze nor technology has reached its peak, and it cannot even be regarded as finished technology. After Wang Hua escaped from Luoyang, this technology continued to be studied, and was studied on porcelain. Later, Wang Hua appeared, and after seeing it as a porcelain sample, he gave a few more tips. So this time the craftsmen have a certain foundation, but the main thing is this casting. During this time, they are firing each cloisonn¨¦, not for the finished product, but for each data. So why do you need 10 million yuan? The cost of research is too high. ¡°Then there¡¯s the tripod itself. Not that the entire tripod is made of cloisonn¨¦. Wang Hua doesn¡¯t have that ability. Even before he wore it, no one had that ability. The first of the five cloisonn¨¦ craftsmanship is to make the tire. Cut the copper sheets into different shapes according to the drawings, beat them into various copper tires with a hammer, then apply solder and weld them at high temperature. There is no welding technology now, so we have to use high-temperature calcination, which is more time-consuming, the process has become more complicated, and the success rate is still very low. But there is an advantage, because copper is ductile, so it can be hard to join together with a hammer. Even if it¡¯s burned down, you can still start over. Unlike porcelain, if it is burned and scrapped, it can only be treated as waste. Therefore, a piece of cloisonn¨¦ is made up of several pieces of copper leather inlaid together. This is not at all like Qibaoyaki. The Japanese use molds to directly make a whole copper piece and then make Qibaoyaki. "Without cloisonn¨¦, you can't make a big cauldron. Zhang Tonglu, a master in the cloisonn¨¦ world, has burned a piece of "Ding Shi Zhonghua", which is magnificent. But as the tripod of Kyushu, its size is too small and it cannot be made of copper. So Wang Hua's idea was to first cast a large tripod out of copper. Because it represents the artifact of Kyushu, this tripod shape must be thick, stable and majestic. It would be too bad if it cannot be burned into a small incense burner. Wang Hua designed many tripod shapes, and he also used a triangular tripod in that sketch, but later it looked uncomfortable, so he changed it to a square tripod, which means the world is in four directions, which gives it a richer feeling. The style is also very similar to the Simu Wu Fang Ding of the Shang Dynasty that was unearthed later, but the ears decorated with two tigers biting human heads were changed to double dragon ears, with two golden dragons hovering over the body of the tripod as the ears. The tripod bag is a little thinner, but it certainly cannot be made of copper. But the tripod is taller, reaching nearly four meters high, precisely because of its?Only at such a high altitude can it look more majestic and magnificent. Another function is that with such a large tripod, the area of ??the tripod wall is larger, which can have enough area to write on the state's topography, history, ethnic situation, tribal distribution, music, animals and plants, dance, minerals, etc. etc., and add relevant pictures. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way, the pieces are inlaid piece by piece, and then polished and inlaid with gold to cover up the traces. However, in order for the thermal expansion of the material to be consistent, even though the inner copper body is made of wool, the same copper must be used as the lining. This process is more difficult and complex. And the copper material required will be an astonishing figure. It has not been released yet, but Wang Hua estimates that each tripod will require no less than 3,000 kilograms of copper. The second step is filigree, using flat copper wire to stick to the surface of the copper tire to form writing and pictures. In future generations, it would be easy, but it would be a waste of time. It was welded on, but now it is calcined and must be sintered repeatedly. The difficulty is still very high. The third step is to blue. The sintered carcass is pickled, flattened, and glazed after the silk is whole. That is to say, various enamel materials are filled into the gaps of the silk patterns and melted at high temperature to turn the glaze into a smooth and bright glaze. This requires three to four times of glazing and melting to make the glaze and copper wire the same. flat. But this process is not a problem now. Sour water was developed in Oceania. It is not so pure, but most of it is sulfuric acid water. It can be used, at least it can wash away oxides. After many years of research on glazes, the results are similar. Basically The raw materials are borax, saltpeter and alkali, but they contain different metals. For example, those containing iron are brown, those containing uranium are yellow, those containing chromium are green, those containing zinc are white, those containing copper are blue, and those containing gold and selenium are for red and so on. Most of these are produced in southwest Zizhou. The next step is to use coarse sandstone, yellowstone, and charcoal to smooth the uneven blue glaze three times. Any uneven spots need to be repaired and polished repeatedly after melting the glaze. Finally, use charcoal and a scraper to smooth out the copper wire without blue glaze. , bottom line and mouth line are smoothed and polished. The last process is gold plating, that is, gold inlay. Now there is no good gold plating method, so we have to use gold tracing. This will prevent the copper wire from rusting. Therefore, Wang paintings require many workers, especially filigree work, which requires countless working hours. And Dingji has more work to do. Now that the drawings have not been finalized, various paintings and poems have been sent. After Wang Hua read them, he was very dissatisfied and redistributed them. I even saw that some people really didn't have the talent for landscape painting, so I cut it again and called some landscape painting masters again. But in order to make the workers familiar with it, Wang Hua first asked them to make several types of cloisonn¨¦, such as the Qing Dynasty enamel lotus pattern crisp camellia tea lid jar, or the Qing Dynasty imperial copper tire painting enamel yellow ground peony and pheasant pattern lid box as the prototype , or use the Ming Jing Tai Elephant Foot Lion Ear Incense Burner as a prototype to familiarize them with the craftsmanship (see related works). But at this moment, Princess Taiping wrote a letter. When Princess Taiping gained power, it turned out that she liked Li Longji very much. The more capable Li Longji was, the more likely he was to overthrow Webster. But now things have changed. At first, she thought Li Longji was young and didn't take him to heart. But as she developed greater ambitions, she felt that Li Longji was hindering her. But at this time, Li Dan had already made Li Longji the crown prince. She felt threatened, so she wanted to make a weak and cowardly person the crown prince. Regardless of whether she wants to be a queen or not, maybe she really doesn't have this idea. The main thing is to maintain her current power and status for a long time. So he sent people to spread the rumor that the prince was not the emperor's eldest son, so he should not be crowned prince. When Li Dan heard about it, he was very disgusted, but he did not remember that Princess Taiping did it. He thought it was a rumor among the people, so he issued an order to warn the people in the world not to spread rumors about it. Princess Taiping¡¯s plan failed, so she made another plan. Taking advantage of Li Dan¡¯s love for her, she placed many eyes and ears around Li Longji, and then used a magnifying glass to magnify what Li Longji had done, instigating her intentionally or unintentionally. This made Li Longji very uneasy. So after he received Wang Hua's reply, he didn't say a word. Of course, everything was still in darkness at this time, and Li Dan didn't notice it. He also quelled the rebellion of the five kings, cut into pieces the tombs of Wu Sansi and his son, and threw their bones into the wild. Another thing is that Wei Shi could not be buried with Dingling, so she asked Li Xian's former princess Zhao to posthumously become queen. But no one knew where she was buried, so they used her clothes to summon her soul and buried her with Li Xian. He also rehabilitated Pei Yan and others. However, Wu Zetian was not completely denied. He also appointed his two daughters, Princess Xicheng and Princess Longchang, as female Taoist priests, preparing to build a Taoist temple in the west of Chang'an City to help Wu Zetian. Generally speaking, politics has been clear and clear in the past few months, thanks to the Song Dynasty and Yao Chong. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, appointments are all entrusted to the Shangshu Province, and civil servants are drafted by the Ministry of Personnel.??The military attache shall be drafted by the Ministry of War. This system was completely ruined in Li Xian's hands. After the Song Dynasty became Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Yi and Lu Cong were willing to be Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel. The three of them were not afraid of corruption, so the road to requesting appointments was blocked. Among more than 10,000 candidate officials, no more than two were selected after three rounds. Thousands of people further reduced the number of redundant officials in the Tang Dynasty. Yao Chong was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lu Xiangxian and Lu Huaishen were the Ministers of the Ministry of War. They also took the right path in selecting and appointing military attach¨¦s. He even intentionally left a vacancy because he was waiting for the generals of the Blood Camp. Under the influence of this straight wind, many officials are not afraid of the powerful. The eunuch Lu Xinggui asked Li Chaoyin to do something for him, but Li Chaoyin not only refused to accept it, but arrested him. Li Dan also rewarded Li Chaoyin for this. When the imperial censor Li Fu was impeached, he was not afraid of the strong and noble. Everyone was ruining him. Li Xian said: "The eagle is a cunning rabbit, so it must be rescued, otherwise it will be bitten by the rabbit. When the censor impeached the evil, if there is no monarch to treat him Even if you protect yourself, you will be harmed by evil spirits." Everyone was shocked. Was the eagle bitten by the rabbit? ¡°But this breeze blows at the right time. So Ni Ruoshui, the imperial censor, impeached the two flatterers Zhu Qinming and Guo Shanyun again and drove them out of the court. But this good times did not last long. Within a few months, Princess Taiping's gang began to form and wanted to harm Li Longji, so she sent her son-in-law Tang Jun to invite Wei Anshi to her home. Wei Anshi refused to leave. The next day, Li Dan summoned Wei Anshi and said to him: "I heard that all the civil and military officials in the court are attracted to the prince. You should pay more attention." Good people are afraid of three challenges, and bad people are afraid of three persuasion. Li Dan hears Taiping all day long The princess's words, intentionally or unintentionally, aroused suspicion in her heart. Wei Anshi didn't think of anything else and said directly: "Where did your majesty hear such talk of subjugation? It must be Princess Taiping's idea. The prince has made great contributions to the ancestral temple. He has always been kind and wise, filial to his parents and friendly to his brothers. I hope that your majesty will Don't be fooled by slander." Before he could finish his words, the curtain opened and Princess Taiping ran out, scolding: "Can you, the great Xianggong Wei, still offer slander?" Wei Anshi's face changed drastically. In fact, Princess Taiping was discussing something with Li Dan just now. The reason why she summoned Wei Anshi was also arranged by Princess Taiping. She hid behind the curtain and eavesdropped. After Princess Taiping finished speaking, she immediately ordered him to arrest Wei Anshi for interrogation. Fortunately, Guo Yuanzhen arrived and begged for mercy, so Wei Anshi was lucky enough to be saved. But after this scare, Li Dan asked him nothing more than Weiwei. Princess Taiping was still not satisfied. She saw that Wei Anshi was frightened by her, so she stopped the prime minister in Guangfan Gate and asked them to appoint the crown prince instead. Several prime ministers present were so frightened that they did not dare to say a word, but the Song Dynasty asked rudely: "The prince has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and is the master of the ancestral temple. Princess, why do you propose this? What right do you have to propose this?" Suggestion: Princess Taiping had no choice but to walk away in anger. When Li Chiying heard about this, she asked Wang Hua worriedly and puzzledly: "Why does the emperor listen to his aunt and not his third brother?" "Silly girl, since ancient times, for the sake of the throne, sons have harmed their fathers, and fathers have killed their sons. Is it still a little? Your aunt has helped your father before, so your father believes in her. He intends for your aunt and your third brother to form a balance, just like Tai Chi, where yin and yang are balanced and restrain each other, so that he can keep his throne. "It's not that Li Dan is stupid, he is still practicing Tai Chi on this matter. When Princess Taiping becomes stronger, she will help Li Longji say some good things. When Li Longji becomes stronger, he will help Princess Taiping say some nice things." Wu Zetian also did this. "But Li Dan has Wu Zetian's Tai Chi skills, but he doesn't have Wu Zetian's decisiveness, so something will happen sooner or later. Li Chiying was shocked when he heard this, and his face darkened in an instant. At least when she was at home, the family still depended on each other. Unexpectedly, after becoming emperor, father and son became suspicious later. But Princess Taiping did this a little arrogantly. The Song Dynasty and Yao Chong then admonished: "The King of Song is your majesty's eldest son, and King Bin is the eldest grandson of Emperor Gaozong. Princess Taiping is trying to create trouble between them and the prince, which will destabilize the status of the East Palace. Your Majesty, please King Song and King Bin were appointed as governors; King Li Longfan of Qi and King Li Longye of Xue were removed from their posts as left and right generals of Yulin, and they were appointed as the prince's left and right guards to serve the prince; Princess Taiping was He and Wu Youji were sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital. " Li Dan hesitated for a while and replied: "I have no brothers anymore, and I only have a sister, Princess Taiping. How can I send her to the eastern capital? As for the kings, you can handle it. "But a few days later, Li Dan said to the courtiers around him: "The fortune teller said that within five days, an army will invade the palace. You??You must take strict precautions for me. " Zhang Shuo immediately said: "This must be another treacherous villain using slander to drive a wedge between Your Majesty and the Crown Prince. He hopes that the Crown Prince will be used to handle government affairs on his behalf, and then all kinds of rumors will naturally disappear. " Yao Chong immediately added: "The method Zhang said is the best way to ensure long-term stability in the country. " The two sang and harmonized, which finally made Li Dan happy. He immediately issued an edict. Song Wang Li Chengqi was appointed as the governor of Tongzhou, and Bin Wang Li Shouli was appointed as the governor of Binzhou. He appointed the general of Zuo Yulin, King Qi Li Longfan, as the leader of the left guard, and the general of You Yulin. King Xue Li Longye led the right guard; he also placed Princess Taiping in Puzhou and asked Li Longji to handle government affairs on his behalf. It was stipulated that the appointment of officials below the sixth rank and the review of criminals below the penalty level should be handled by the prince. . But Wang Hua guessed that Princess Taiping went too far to stop the prime minister. Li Dan started to suppress Princess Taiping and pulled Li Longji, so she issued the edict. When Princess Taiping saw it, she became anxious and spread it herself. There were rumors that Li Longji would launch a coup. She was very worried, so she wrote a letter asking Wang Hua for help. Wang Hua also replied, "I can help you, but you want to." The method is to let me send the 90,000 blood battalion troops into Chang'an. After Princess Taiping saw the letter, she tore it up in anger. When the 90,000 blood battalion troops enter Chang'an, will it be your world or mine? But at this time, Li Dan? She was worried again, fearing that Li Longji had too much power, so Princess Taiping took the opportunity to ask Cui Shi and Xue Shaosu to say: "The late emperor had all dismissed the officials, and the orders had been given. Now because of Yao Yuanzhi and others' suggestions, they should all be eliminated at once. This revealed the fault of the late emperor and caused many complaints to His Majesty. Right now, the whole country is in a state of uproar, and all over the country, there is a fear of extraordinary changes. "Princess Taiping also persuaded Li Dan again, and then issued an edict. Those who were appointed to be suspended first will be used according to their talents. This is Princess Taiping using the emperor's favor to establish personal favors. Then she started to ask Li Long to play the pipa. Asked why Li Longji colluded with Song and Yao to sow feelings between himself and the emperor. Li Longji felt very scared, not because he was afraid of Princess Taiping, but because he was afraid of her methods. , his father would definitely be suspicious and even extremely disgusted, so he had no choice but to throw away his car to protect the commander. He took the initiative to remonstrate with him, saying that the Yao and Song Dynasties were causing trouble between him and his aunt Princess Taiping and his brothers Song King Li Chengqi and Bin King Li Shouli. Li Dan was worried, so he demoted Yao Chong to the governor of Shenzhou and demoted Song Jing to the governor of Chuzhou. Li Chengqi and Li Shouli were appointed as governors. Princess Taiping struck again while the iron was hot and dismissed Liu Youqiu as the Minister of Household Affairs. Wei Anshi and Cui Rizhi, who were too frightened to speak, replaced Yao and Song to preside over the affairs of the court. From then on, the imperial court was once again in chaos, just like the old situation during Li Xian's time. Yanagize couldn't bear to join the army and wrote a letter: "The Xiefeng official was appointed through the introduction of villains around the late emperor. How could it be the original intention of the late emperor? Your Majesty dismissed them all, and the world thought it was wise. Now, in turn, he has hired them all. Good and evil are uncertain, and orders are changed day by day. Why would Your Majesty do this? Rumors in the streets say that Princess Taiping has recruited some villains to deceive His Majesty. I am worried that doing so will turn a small evil into a big disaster. " Shushang refused to take responsibility and did not listen. Li Longji had Princess Taiping cornered and had no choice but to write a letter to Wang Hua. He also intuitively felt that there were some ulterior secrets between Wang Hua and Princess Taiping. Therefore, in In the letter, he begged Wang Hua to persuade Princess Taiping to value peace, put the country and the people first, and stop fighting. After reading the letter, Wang Hua thought to himself, I will tell Princess Taiping not to fight, so you can. Stopped? He wouldn¡¯t stop either, so he sent two hundred soldiers from the Blood Battalion and rode to Chang¡¯an. He took out the cover of Princess Taiping and Li Longji¡¯s letter and showed it. Come out to show them who dares to stop. Besides, two hundred soldiers are not a big problem. So I came to Chang'an and went straight to Princess Taiping's mansion. When I got to the door, I took out the suona and started playing. , the generals will harmonize, the generals will harmonize, the generals will harmonize. These soldiers didn¡¯t know how to play the suona. They learned it with great difficulty. At first, the people were wondering, what are they doing? Armor, thinking about what happened during this time, everyone couldn't help but laugh []
