Chapter 85

October 18, Upper Sunrise.

"Oh!"

After entering the main hall, even if he was as calm as Wei Zheng, after seeing the bright light, he couldn't help but let out a low exclamation...... Although Wei Zheng quickly closed his mouth, his expression had already been seen by Fang Xuanling.

After smiling, Fang Xuanling laughed in a low voice: "This is glass...... How's that, it's bright enough, right? ”

Ignoring Fang Xuanling's question, Wei Zheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Fang Xiang, how much is this piece of glass worth?" I'm afraid it's not less than a few hundred, right? The entire Daxing Palace is all equipped with this kind of glass, wouldn't it cost tens of thousands? ”

When he said this, Wei Zheng's face was very unpleasant.

Although he has been poor for almost a lifetime, as a top magnate in the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng is not to say that he does not know the existence of Liuli...... At least when Fang Xuanling explained glass to him, he put it and glass together. Wei Zheng knew very well that the glaze in Chang'an City was very valuable, especially the glaze from the Western Regions, a small cup could be sold for dozens or hundreds of pieces!

So much glasses that look prettier, how much is a piece?

So this fighting spirit came up all of a sudden!

Extravagant!

No, this is not simply a matter of luxury, it should be said that it is a matter of extreme luxury!

Tens of thousands!

"Hehe, it didn't cost anything!"

As soon as he looked at Wei Zheng's cousin, Fang Xuanling knew what the old man was thinking, and shook his head at the corner of his mouth.

"Huh? Didn't spend money? ”

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, the energy that had just been mustered up quickly deflated like a balloon that had been poked with a needle. It's just that as soon as the thought turned in his mind, Wei Zheng immediately discovered that something was wrong: "Fang Xiang, this thing ...... It's worth a lot of money at first glance, how can it not cost money? ”

"Hehe, because it's all sent!"

Squinting his eyes, Fang Xuanling said leisurely: "These glasses are all given to His Majesty by King Han...... Xuan Cheng, that's King Han, His Majesty's brother, it shouldn't be too much to send something, right? ”

Speaking of the back, Fang Xuanling's tone faintly carried a hint of warning.

This old boy, he knows too well.

If you want to say who the emperor likes and trusts the most among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Shimin really doesn't dare to say, after all, the eldest grandson Wuji is the most favored, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are also the most important, and it is difficult for anyone to distinguish between the superior and the inferior; But if you want to say who Li Shimin hates the most and who he doesn't want to see the most among all the ministers, Wei Zheng is definitely at the forefront.

To be honest, this old boy is really annoying.

However, Fang Xuanling also knew very well in his heart that in fact, this was Wei Zheng's way of survival - he didn't necessarily have to fight against the emperor, but Wei Zheng's background determined that he had to become such a person. Who made him follow Li Jiancheng at the beginning, and he came up with the idea of designing Li Shimin many times?

Wasn't the reason why Li Shimin pardoned Wei Zheng and reused him in the first place because he spoke directly?

Therefore, if Wei Zheng is like other ministers, he has to think about everything before speaking, and most of the time he has to follow the emperor's wishes, his value in this court......

But this time, Fang Xuanling didn't want this old friend to speak.

Not to mention that these glasses didn't cost a penny, and they can greatly improve the "working conditions" of this Daxing Palace, just because it was his son-in-law Li Yuanjia who took out these glasses, Fang Xuanling didn't want this old boy to cause trouble!

Besides, look at the situation in the temple at this time, aren't everyone ......

A virtue?

"Hoo ......"

After turning his head and looking around, Wei Zheng glanced at Fang Xuanling again, and sighed silently for a long time: "Fang Xiang, my Datang is only ...... after all."

"Okay, I know!"

frowned, and Fang Xuanling's voice obviously carried a trace of dissatisfaction: "Datang is not yet extravagant, I know this!" But this glass is not a useless luxury, and the installation on the window of the study can make it easier for me to wait for a book? There is also the glass on the Daxing Palace, Xuancheng, you dare to say that it is useless? ”

“……”

After hearing these words, Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng were speechless for a moment.

There is no way to refute it.

Even if Wei Zheng is best at debating with people, otherwise he would not have left such a big name in history, but he really can't refute Fang Xuanling's words - this is not the cards and stir-fried vegetables, thirteen spices and other things that flowed out of Han Wang's Mansion at the beginning, why do you say it's not good?

Even if it was the cards of Han Wangfu, Wei Zheng didn't say anything at the beginning, right?

After all, people are just playing with some gadgets at home, and others have to buy or have to make a pair or something, Wei Zheng has no reason to read the book at all, not to mention that this time the glass is all a mutual gift between the royal brothers, why should he put his beak?

Wei Zheng was silent here, but after Fang Xuanling saw his expression, he was secretly relieved.

This old boy, he knows him too well.

So as soon as he looked at his expression, he knew that Wei Zheng should have figured it out at this time, and gave up his plan to admonish the emperor later. It's just that judging from the subtle expression, it still seems to be a little unhappy.

But if that's it, it doesn't matter.

As long as Wei Zheng doesn't speak, the others ...... Hehe, anyway, for Fang Xuanling, it's basically not too much of an eye. Especially since the emperor also got the benefit of the king of Han, he can basically determine the tone of this matter.

So after putting his mind at ease, Fang Xuanling focused on other people.

The emperor hadn't come yet, so most of the officials' eyes were on the surrounding glass - there was no doubt that for the people of the Tang Dynasty, the original wooden windows had become glass, which must have had a huge impact on them!

This kind of thing is like glass, these people in the hall have basically heard of it, and many have seen it, but such a big piece ...... And who has ever seen such a transparent glass?

Anyway, wherever Fang Xuanling's eyes could see, his colleagues were either staring at the glass, or whispering something to the people around him, and the topic should also be related to glass......

"Tsk, this time King Han has come up with another good thing!"

After just looking around, Fang Xuanling came to a conclusion, that is, all the officials in this palace basically have a huge interest in glass!

However, this is also normal, after all, it is really bright!

Especially now that it is the middle of October, the weather in Chang'an has become very cold, if it was a previous year, the windows would have been closed long ago, and candles would have been lit in the hall. But today there are no candles, and the windows are all closed, but the temple is as bright as it was when the candles were lit...... No, even brighter!

And this light is natural and comfortable.

So after looking around, Fang Xuanling knew it in his heart, and then remembered that his daughter had told him that this piece of glass would be sold for at least 100 pieces in the future, and the old man's heart was a little tumbling - these people in the hall alone can buy at least a few hundred pieces of glass, right?

If you roughly calculate it, it's tens of thousands!

"This Li Yuanjia, how did his brain grow?"

After thinking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although his daughter and son-in-law can make a lot of money, it sounds like it's pretty good, but when he thinks that he is a dignified prince who always does these things, and he doesn't hide it, Lao Fang feels a little stuffy and depressed......
