Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 153
Fang Xuanling was extremely speechless about his son, he couldn't understand why this kid just didn't look down on Princess Gao Yang, and wanted to force His Majesty Li Er to break off the engagement by such self-righteous and childish means.

By the way, do you really think that His Majesty Li Er is vegetarian?

After decades of monarchy and ministers, Fang Xuanling is all too familiar with the character of His Majesty Li Er. If it sounds unpleasant, it is a stubborn donkey. The more you screw with him, the more he will not let you wish!
Now it's good, if you go to the palace, you can also fight with people!
How could His Majesty Li Er not be angry?
It would be fine if it was a slap in the face, and it wouldn't be a big deal if it was out of anger; but now Fang Xuanling's attitude of not paying attention makes Fang Xuanling feel more and more bad.

Originally, I wanted to have a good talk with Fang Jun, but the boy yawned as soon as he got home, thinking that he was really exhausted by the boat and car, Fang Xuanling also suppressed the anger in his heart and waved him back to the house to sleep. , it's not bad for him anyway.

Fang Jun felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and immediately went back to the house to sleep in the darkness.

It's just that it was dark and dark, but in fact, the old lady grabbed her ears and picked it up from the bed early the next morning.

No way, today is the second day of the new year, and the year is not over yet!

"So the year ends tonight, and the new year comes tomorrow."

During the New Year, it has always been the same throughout the ages. Children are the first to be happy. "The fire will burn to embers, and the children will be dressed in colorful clothes." And firecrackers were already indispensable when the people of the Tang Dynasty celebrated the Spring Festival. "The new calendar is only half-opened, The small court still gathers the ashes of the firecrackers", which describes the scene of people in the Tang Dynasty setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival.

Before the Tang Dynasty, bamboo was thrown into the fire during the Spring Festival, making a bursting sound, implying to drive away evil spirits.In the Tang Dynasty, people began to fill the bamboo tube with gunpowder and install the powder thread.

Fang Jun rubbed his eyes and yawned. Watching the children in the yard happily set off firecrackers, he wondered if the formula of gunpowder should be improved, and we also developed guns and artillery.However, both of these require high-quality materials for the barrels of the gun barrels. I also think of the iron-smelting furnace in the Lishan farm.

As for those howitzers, cannons, etc. in my dreams, I can only "hehe"...

On the front of the door, a servant wrote the names of Shen Tu and Yu Lei on peach wood, called "Xianmu" or "Peach Fu".It is said that although the form of couplets had already appeared in the Tang Dynasty, there was no custom of pasting couplets during the Spring Festival... Legend has it that Shen Tu and Yu Lei were brothers.

After setting off firecrackers for a while, the family gathered around a table and had a meal of dumplings. During the banquet, Fang Zhi always went to see Fang Jun. He seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it after all.Fang Jun was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention.

After eating dumplings, I have to eat "Wu Xin Pan", this thing is also a **** pan", which is made up of five kinds of vegetables with spicy smell. Qi, from the first day to the third day, one meal a day for three consecutive days.

Anyway, Fang Jun stumbled and stopped eating after taking two bites. Even if he was reprimanded by the old lady, he still wouldn't eat it. This thing is really unpalatable...

After eating, I took another nap, and I woke up again until the shadow of the sun slanted to the west.

Before dinner, a guest came to the door.

Li Siwen and Cheng Chubi came together. They first paid New Year's greetings to Fang Xuanling and his wife, and then went to Fang Jun's room.

"Suck it... By the way, Erlang's tea is really good. My father kept talking about it at home. Do you have any more for me?"

Cheng Chubi sipped his tea and said.

Fang Jun said helplessly: "You have brought your father out, dare I say no? If you don't give it, I can't guarantee that your father will kill you tomorrow... But it's not much, it's all from last year. Chen Cha, let me give you a pound first. Seeing that the spring is coming, the new tea can be picked, and there will be as many as you want."

As soon as he thought of Cheng Yaojin's chaotic demon king drinking tea with his face full of shaky flesh and beards, Fang Jun felt that the style of the painting was too beautiful, and he couldn't even think about it...

Li Siwen sat cross-legged on the couch and pretended to take two sips of tea, feeling that it was not enough, and shouted: "My father banned alcohol, and the New Year's Eve is not comfortable, the bird is about to fade out of his mouth, hurry up and burn your Get a jar of a knife or something!"

Fang Jun had to order the servant to get the wine, otherwise the kid would never stop.

Cheng Chubi seems to have a rough image, but in fact he has a stable temperament, sipping his tea one by one with relish.

Li Siwen remembered something, looked at Fang Jun and sighed: "You really have two strokes, glass, how much profit is that? If you give it away, you give it away, I don't know if it's stupid, or I praise you for your courage! "

As soon as he said this, Fang Jun felt so suffocated, why do you think I would like it?Hundreds of thousands every year, just to change such a broken marquis, it is so depressed to death...

But Cheng Chubi said: "Last night, my father also said that Erlang did a good job in this matter. The glass thing is too profitable, and those dark-hearted guys in the court are all staring at them with red eyes. I can't tell. Whenever you get a chance, you will rush it, and then it will be a bad thing. Giving it up at this time is really the best way. My father also said, don’t lose sight of the profit, but the things you get are definitely worth the money. ."

"It's worth the money! What's so strange about such a broken marquis?" Fang Jun said angrily, still feeling distressed for the huge profits.

At this time, the servant brought a small clay jar, a few wine glasses, and a few plates of side dishes for drinking.

Fang Jun put him on the table, waved him away, patted the seal, and filled the glass.

A fragrant and mellow wine fragrance permeated the room instantly.

Li Siwen is the best wine. He took a sip from the wine glass, exhaled a long breath, and praised: "This is wine! Those things I drank before are not even as good as horse urine."

He took a bite of the thinly sliced ​​sauced beef, chewed it in his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Erlang, you are short-sighted. It doesn't really matter if you spend more money and money, or less or less. As a courtier, it doesn't matter. , what is the most important? Four words: Jane is in the heart of the emperor!"

The source of this sentence? "The Analects of Confucius Yao said": "The emperor is not concealed, but simplicity is in the heart of the emperor." The general idea is that God's servants dare not be deceived, and this is all known by God.

"Emperor" in Xia and Shang was the title of the king after the death of the king, and in the Zhou Dynasty, it specifically referred to the Emperor of Heaven and God.With the deification of imperial power, later generations also referred to the emperor as emperor, and then used "Jane in the heart of the emperor" to indicate that he was understood by the emperor.

"Jane is in the emperor's heart" is a measure of a person's heart in the emperor's heart. If Jane is in the emperor's heart, it means that the emperor already knows your abilities and has noticed you, then you are just a stone's throw away.

To put it simply, the emperor has taken a fancy to you!
Fang Jun didn't know the ins and outs of this sentence, but he understood the true meaning.

"Is Your Majesty so short of money?" Fang Jun didn't quite understand, how could "Jane is in the heart of the emperor" by offering a glass. At this stage, that thing is completely a high-end luxury, and it has no strategic significance at all. .Although His Majesty Li Er is domineering, he is not extravagant. He is not like the kind of person who sees money.
Li Siwen smiled and continued: "His Majesty is not the former Sui Yang Emperor, but his old man's heart always wants to do something that the former Sui Yang Emperor has never done in his life!"

Fang Jun understood in seconds!

"East expedition to Koryo?!"

Li Siwen shook his head: "Ruzi can be taught!"

Fang Jun finally understood why his father insisted on dedicating this method of glass to His Majesty Li Er, not in exchange for some marquis or official position, but to raise military expenses for the Eastern Expedition for His Majesty Li Er!
In other words, it is to seek this sentence "Jane is in the heart of the emperor" for Fang Jun!
He has made great efforts in the things that His Majesty Li Er wants to do the most and is the most difficult to do. With the person of His Majesty Li Er, how can you not remember your good life?

But having said that, what year was His Majesty Li Er's expedition to Goryeo?
Fang Jun tapped the desk of the desk subconsciously with his fingers, and narrowed his eyes slightly...
