CHAPTER XXXIII

Previous Chapter

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Yuanjia's life was quite troublesome.

Without him, there are too many guests.

From Li Tai, the king of Wei, to his subordinate Yongzhou Governor Shi, they all visited one after another during this time. And the Han Wangfu, which has always been deserted, has also ushered in unprecedented liveliness - there is no doubt that everyone is coming for the glass mirror.

If glass windows are the biggest temptation for men, allowing them to read and write in bright and warm light, then the temptation of glass mirrors for women is simply irresistible. Especially when the news came out that Princess Changle took the lead in getting a glass mirror, almost all the ladies in Chang'an were agitated.

What woman can refuse to be able to see her face clearly?

So men can wait, they can accept the "lack of production" argument, and wait patiently for the day when glass will be supplied in large quantities, but women can't have this patience!

"Speaking of which, I didn't dare to go to the club for half a month!"

At breakfast that day, Fang Fengzhu said with a bitter face: "As long as I go, I will be surrounded by people and ask about the mirror...... Alas, no matter how many times I explain it, it's useless! ”

After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh.

At the beginning, Fang Fengzhu really enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon, after all, no matter how she said it, she was just a teenage girl, and vanity was inevitable. But if it's such a substitute when you arrive at the club every day, and everyone has to deal with it carefully and can't slack off, this enjoyment will quickly turn into an annoyance.

Neither is happiness, nor is annoyance!

Especially Fang Fengzhu's identity, she can only explain to everyone again and again with good words, and she can't show impatience...... After a few days, she didn't dare to go to the club again.

It's when I think of this again today that I can't help but complain.

"Huh."

With a chuckle, Li Yuanjia didn't say anything.

There's not much to say.

Not to mention Fang Fengzhu, even he was in the same situation during this time. The ladies may not be able to find him yet, but don't forget that every woman's ...... There was a man standing in front of him, so when Li Taidu, the king of Wei, came to the door in person to ask for a mirror, Li Yuanjia knew that this time the matter was really troublesome.

Of course, his attitude is still very resolute.

Whoever it is, they all refuse politely.

Especially the nephews of Li Tai and Li Ke, as well as Cheng Zhijie, the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, Li Yuanjia strictly adheres to the bottom line and does not give them any chance at all!

"If you want a mirror, wait a few months!"

After Unification gave such an answer, Li Yuanjia didn't even want to talk to them more, and directly issued an expulsion order - except for Li Tai, who could spend more time in the Han Wangfu and talk about trivial matters, he was not willing to say a few more words to those ministers in the court.

Only this time, it's not just because I want to avoid suspicion.

Because unless he risked offending the emperor, Li Yuanjia really couldn't take out the glass mirror...... Even if these people are willing to take out thousands of pieces to make the women in the family laugh, Li Yuanjia can't take it out!

"So...... Is it possible next month? ”

After pouting and depressed for a while, Fang Fengzhu couldn't help but ask another question that she had asked many times.

"Hehe, no!"

Without hesitation, Li Yuanjia also shook his head again and said, "At least it will be in April before Han Cheng and the others can come up with a few pieces of glass...... I mean, after giving them a few extra pieces of glass! But even then, until the middle of next year, I will only be able to give you a maximum of two dollars a month...... Got it? ”

"They ......"

The eyelids jumped twice, and Fang Fengzhu subconsciously frowned.

Of course, she knew who "they" were, none other than the king's sisters and nieces. Of course, the nieces here are only the daughters of Emperor Li Shimin, that is, the current princesses, otherwise if all the nieces are really given together, I'm afraid this time will have to be scheduled until next year!

But even so, Fang Fengzhu is distressed!

If a mirror is a thousand times, just the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, the king will send out tens of thousands of dollars!

However, just like the reaction every time she thought of this question before, Fang Fengzhu was distressed for a moment, and immediately put this emotion away - she knew what was the most important thing at the moment!

In addition to increasing the production of mirrors as soon as possible, it is to keep this frenzy alive!

And the best way for the latter one, of course, is to let the top celebrities in Datang use this thing first and give the highest evaluation. So from that point of view, who else would be a better candidate than the princesses?

So after taking a deep breath, Fang Fengzhu nodded and said, "Understood, king, I understand." ”

The glass thing, His Majesty in the palace is also waiting!

Fang Fengzhu, who knew this well, put down other thoughts, and said with a smile: "And for the club, in fact, two pieces of glass a month are enough, enough to make them eager to join it......"

……

Fang Fengzhu and Li Yuanjia, who were in Chang'an City, were worried about glass at the same time...... And when he was happy, thousands of miles away in the Western Regions, the war between the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang finally broke out.

Under the pressure of Hou Junji, the king of Gaochang, Wang Lu Wentai, was remorseful and angry!

The regret is naturally due to the arrogance at the beginning, thinking that with the support of the Western Turks, he dared to fight with the king of the Tang Dynasty and bully the surrounding small countries. As a result, I didn't expect that Li Shimin really sent a large army and put on a posture of wanting to destroy the country!

What made him even more painful was that no matter how many people he sent to ask for help, the Western Turks did not react at all.

It is clear that they coaxed.

While regretting it, Lu Wentai finally figured it out - at the beginning, the Western Turks desperately pushed him to shoot at the Tang Dynasty, swearing that they would definitely help if they had something, but the reality is that these guys have long been scared by the Tang people, and they don't even dare to fart at the critical moment!

And more importantly, Datang's attitude!

If it was just for such a small country as Gaochang, there would be no need for the Tang people to be so vigorous, obviously for the Western Turks behind Ko Wentai! In other words, Gaochang became an intermediary between the two great powers...... It's just that this wrestling has just begun, and the Western Turks have just coaxed it.

Under the tough attitude of Hou Junji, the chief of the marching army, Lu Wentai was confused all day long, and finally died!

I don't know whether it was a recurrence of serious illness and death after being frightened, or in order to give an explanation to the Tang people, Lu Wentai had to die, in short, after Lu Wentai's son Lu Zhisheng came to power, he immediately sent a message of surrender to Hou Junji.

Merely......

At this time, how could Hou Junji agree?

At this great opportunity to make contributions, and it is also a war to destroy the country, I am afraid that it is impossible for any general to give up, right? So when Hou Junji ordered the army to start attacking, Wang Han knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come......
