Sent off Mr. Liu and returned to the study alone, Wang Chengzong, who was extremely tired, directly collapsed into his chair, recalling the situation in front of him: the Hedong Army that appeared in the Zhenzhou defense line on the western front was advancing eastward with great fanfare, the elite cavalry that broke into the direction of Fuzhou on the northern line was raging wildly in Lulong, and the imperial army of Chen Bing Henan on the southern front had begun to move north on a large scale,...... Under the heavy pressure, Wang Chengzong felt that he had been overwhelmed.

Although the situation has not evolved to the worst level, although he and Mr. Liu have discussed countermeasures, although hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have been sent out to remove hidden dangers, although in theory Chengde in his hands and Lu Long in Mr. Liu's hands still have the possibility of success, but this hope is so slim that Wang Chengzong can't see any hope at all.

To be honest, the recent experience has devastated Wang Chengzong's body, and under the superposition of multiple emotions of exhaustion, anxiety, anxiety, and sleepiness, Wang Chengzong slowly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, the sky was completely dark, the room was already lit, and Wang Chengzong woke up from his sleep.

After waking up, Wang Chengzong's tired spirit was slightly recovered, but his stomach was already hungry.

Summoning servants and concubines, and bringing food for themselves. I don't know if it's because of my mood, but my favorite dishes don't taste good after I eat them.

After barely filling his stomach, he left the servants and concubines, and Wang Chengzong sat alone in the study.

Thinking of the current situation, Wang Chengzong's brows furrowed unconsciously, and severe pain began to come from his skull in bursts.

The left hand touched his forehead, and his right hand inadvertently grasped the armrest of the wooden chair, and after more than a dozen breaths, the explosive pain began to slowly subside.

When he regained his ability to move, Wang Chengzong found that his right hand was still clutching the arm of the chair.

Chair...... This thing was passed from Chang'an, two years ago, there were still beds and a few eucalyptus in his study, and now, not to mention himself, things like tables, chairs and benches have entered the homes of ordinary people.

At this time, Wang Chengzong looked around, feeling the objects and changes around him. Sitting on a wooden chair, in front of a wooden desk, although the table and chair look a little awkward, but Wang Chengzong has to admit that this table, chair and bench is indeed much more comfortable than a few eucalyptus.

Behind the side of the table and chair, in the middle of his study, the brazier that used to heat has inadvertently become a coal-burning stove made of steel.

Not only is the smoke and dust smaller, but the temperature is much higher than before, and although the cold winter is still there, it is no longer so daunting.

In front of the desk, the sill window that was once made by carpenters has been replaced by the crystal clear glass.

Of course, glaze is the name of Hebei people, if in Chang'an, this kind of glaze placed on the window has another trendy name, called glass.

The name of the glass is said to be derived from the place where the glass was made, the most mysterious, the richest, and the most awe-inspiring place in the Tang Dynasty - the mansion of the eldest princess of Dunhuang.

Wang Chengzong's mind couldn't help but think of that legendary story. Glass or glass, this thing is extremely expensive now, two months ago, there was already a tael of glass and a tael of gold in Chang'an.

However, the more expensive this thing is, the more it is sought after by nobles, gate lords, and royalty. At that time, the world thought that this had reached a peak, but they didn't know that a tael of glass and a tael of gold was just the beginning.

And the one who will push the beginning to the climax is Li Chun, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Just like the words of a certain Uncle Guo in later generations, it is not that my excellence depends on the foil of my peers.

And Li Chun belongs to the opposite side of the victimization of this sentence. Strictly speaking, the emperor Li Chun is not extravagant and wasteful in the Tang Dynasty and even among the emperors of China.

However, it depends on who you compare it to. However, Li Chun's bad luck was that his father was Li Yu. The first emperor Li Yu, not to mention that in the Tang Dynasty, it was also unprecedented in the field of spending money in the entire history of China.

When it comes to military training, smashing pots and selling iron support, and talking about developing technology, that is smashing pots, selling iron belts and selling blood, Guo Rong wants to fight, that is even more absolutely supportive of smashing pots, selling iron belts and selling blood, and selling sons and daughters and wives.

However, for the construction of his own mausoleum, he did not pull out a dime, did not draw a copper plate in the direction of the mausoleum, recruited a conscription, and allocated a grain of grain.

If this is the case, the problem is that Li Yu's approach is really unbearable even for the courtiers.

Li Yu himself can not be buried, not to mention his identity as the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, even if he has been forced to abdicate, but he has been in power for half a year, and the identity of the emperor is doubtful.

As a genuine Tang Emperor, he can not have his own face, but the huge Tang Empire still needs face, and if an emperor's mausoleum is just a wasteland in the end, wouldn't it swell the faces of the courtiers and courtiers.

For the dignity of the royal family and the face of the Tang Dynasty, after discussing with the Ministry of Households, the Zaifu and the Ministry of Household specially allocated a sum of money to build a mausoleum for Li Chun.

However, what made these courtiers collapse was that the money was allocated and the goods were also set aside, but this wave of allocation had just been completed, and they had not even been in the Ministry of Industry and the general for a long time, and they were directly forcibly moved by Li Yu and directly transferred to the military expenses.

Li Chen's operation can be said to be out of the ceiling, and he was stunned by Li Chen's operation.

However, the courtiers who did not believe in evil secretly allocated a sum of money under the leadership of Du Congyu's father, Du You.

As a result, the goods had just withered, and the conscription had just been requisitioned, and before the courtiers could react, this part of the special funds that should have been used to build the mausoleum was embezzled by Li Yu again, and even the specially requisitioned conscription was directly sent by Li Yu to Longnan to strengthen the city wall.

This time, the Manchu Dynasty was completely subdued, and no one tried to do this again. This has led to an extremely embarrassing situation.

From becoming the prince to ascending the throne as the emperor, from ascending the throne to abdicating, from abdication to the power of the emperor, from becoming the emperor to becoming the first emperor, for more than 30 years, the mausoleum that had been selected for him was still the hill that was not too high, and even the land had not been changed.

Although the courtiers and the rulers were beaten in the face in this regard, from the court to the people, from Wuxun to Wenzhu, no one could put forward half a word to this monarch, and then cooperated with Chang'an, Guanzhong, and Datang to recover under the actual control of Li Yu, and his reputation naturally rose.

Not to mention the negative examples of Xia Wei, Shang Xuan, Xiao Baojuan, Gao Huan, and Yang Guang, even compared with the excellent emperors such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chun also belongs to the model of saving money to raise soldiers, train generals, and build schools, without personal extravagance.

Compared with others, Li Chun is more than enough, but when the object of comparison with Li Chun in the world becomes Li Chan, Li Chun, who is actually not an extravagant and wasteful emperor, has a bit of a loser in the hearts of the people of Chang'an.

Although Li Chun had expected this situation of being shot while lying down, when this comparison continued and the lying gun became more and more boundless, Li Chun was completely angry.

I don't know because I was dizzy with anger, when the price of glass reached one or two glasses and one tael of gold, that is, when the price of glass reached the first peak, Li Chun monopolized the glass production of the eldest princess's mansion by virtue of his status as the emperor.

He spent a lot of money to replace all the windows of the Zichen Palace, which he used most often and was also the place where the court meeting was held, with glass, and even opened a few glass windows on the roof of the Zichen Palace.

This time, he completely put the identity of Li as a loser. However, when the glass replaced the wooden windows after the completion of the first court meeting.

After seeing the splendid Zichen Hall under the sunlight, especially after the sunlight penetrated several specially opened skylights, making Li Chun bathed in the sunlight have a unique sacred color, all the top wealthy families and nobles in the entire Tang Dynasty went completely crazy.

From that moment on, a tael of glass and a tael of gold became a legend, and no one dared to grab what the emperor wanted, but when the emperor satisfied his desires, the rest became a feast for the top nobles.

There is even a saying among the people that such a thing is a status symbol. If a family or a wealthy family does not have a glass window or a glass house, it does not deserve to be called top-notch!

Inadvertently, the price has soared to the sky, and it has become the standard configuration of the entire top class. What's more, according to Li Chun, who has the special effect of the skylight of Zichen Palace, it is speculated that after the sunlight of the glass, it will help the man to show his majesty, and it will add a mysterious color to the glass.

Then, various folk legends arose. After a certain country is over eighty years old, after bathing in the sunlight that penetrates the glass in a room with glass, meow meow, after fighting for three months, the old man has a son, and the old tree blooms; A certain noble girl, after bathing in the sunshine blessed by glass, was married for less than three months, and gave birth to an heir for the horse; …… Miracles of this kind come and go.

However, no one cares why an old man over 80 can meow and meow, and no one questions why a noble girl can give birth to an heir in March after marriage.

All this has become the best legend of the artifact of glass. All in all, whether it is to show off the identity or to show the majesty, from that moment on, every piece of glass made from the mansion of the eldest princess of Dunhuang was sold at a sky-high price.

Looking at the glass window in his study in front of him, thinking of the legend he had heard about the glass window, that is, the glass, all Wang Chengzong could give was a wry smile.

In his eyes, what is the standard of the top nobles, what is the symbol of the identity of the top wealthy family, and what is the majestic show, all of them are nonsense.

Glass is truly magical! During the day, through the window, Wang Chengzong can clearly see the grass and trees outside the room; Transparent glass allows sunlight to enter unhindered, making the room clear and bright; In the warm winter sun, the sun shines through the glass window on the body, and there is indeed a warm feeling; However, in Wang Chengzong's view, glass stops there.

More importantly, Wang Chengzong is not only an ordinary envoy of moderation, he is also the leader of the feudal town, the leader of the separatist forces, and the careerist who plots the world.

From the perspective of rebelling and plotting against the world, even if this glass and this glass really have such an effect, what can it be?

Could it be more precious than the former He's Bi? In the final analysis, for the nobles and wealthy families, this thing is just a tool used to show off their wealth and show their status.

In the eyes of Wang Chengzong, who was once aspiring to plot the world, the value of this kind of thing was not even as good as a stone of grain or a team of soldiers.

Wang Chengzong does not think that his knowledge is unmatched, and he thinks that his intelligence is the best in the world. Once, as Li Yu became seriously ill, Wang Chengzong despised Li Chun and Guo Rong, who would control the Tang Dynasty after Li Xu.

However, from the beginning of the rebellion to the extent that he was beaten to the present, he did not dare to underestimate Li Chun and Guo Rong, a young and excessive combination of monarchs and ministers.

When he first heard the legend of glass, Wang Chengzong just smiled and didn't take it to heart, and even took advantage of the opportunity of the suppression to scavenge the glass they bought at a sky-high price from the wealthy families under his rule.

But until the battle, the cause and effect before and after the connection, coupled with the good relationship between Li Chun and Guo Rong, the so-called glass legend is most likely a double yellow played by Li Chun and Guo Rong.

He, Wang Chengzong, is not one of those waste snacks, nor is he a bombastic mouthpiece, through various means, he is sure that Li Chun and Guo Rong have truly mobilized a million army in Henan!

It is precisely because of how terrifying the money and food that a million army needs to consume is that it is impossible for today's imperial court to hold on.

If it weren't for the fact that the south bank of the Great River really gathered a million troops from the people to the soldiers, how could he, Wang Chengzong, really be fooled, focus all his attention on the southern front, and eradicate his own back road without worrying about the bottom line.

An emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a general who holds half of the military power of the Tang Dynasty, and the two of them act so disregardively for the sake of only one thing, that is, the money and food to support the million-strong army!

Originally, Wang Chengzong believed that Li Chen's way of extorting bamboo from the hands of the world's feudal towns, nobles, and wealthy families without taking into account the identity of the king had reached its peak.

However, now Wang Chengzong knows that he was wrong. After seeing the performance of this pair of younger monarchs, I knew that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach!

I know what it means that a mountain is higher than a mountain, and a section is stronger than six sections! Only then did I know that what is called a tree without bark will surely die, and people should not face the world invincible.

The vastness of Datang, the emergence of talented people in an endless stream, with the wealth of Datang, there are countless people with outstanding intelligence.

In Wang Chengzong's view, there is no reason why no one has discovered the problem that even he can easily see. There is only one reason why those intelligent people with outstanding intelligence see through it and don't say it, and they still desperately cooperate with Li Chun, they have long understood the current situation of Datang, and they have long understood that the revival of Datang is unstoppable, and Chang'an's regain control of Datang is unstoppable.

Of course, what Wang Chengzong could not know was that on this one issue, he only knew one thing but did not know the other.

The person who really carried out the operation of turning glass into military spending was the current Datang land exchange Li Chun. But the first idea of using glass to make a lot of money in the Datang circle and cutting a handful of leeks came from Guo Rong.

As for those who made plans......
