Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Twenty-seven clicks

Sitting on the carriage with Lan Ling, Li Hong thought about what the cheetah said and the fragments he saw. It seemed that these things appeared in Ci'en Temple by no coincidence.

Li Hong had a bold idea. Could those imprisoned be the artisans of Datang? And those fragments are the defective products when the craftsmen made the Linglong Tower?

"What do you think of the little guy?" Lan Ling watched Li Hong holding the fragments in his hand and didn't let go. He thought that the little guy was still worried about breaking the Linglong Tower in the palace, and fondly stroked Li Hong's Asked the head.

"Nothing. Aunt, how do you know Master Weiying?" Li Hong raised his head and asked. The glass shard in his hand was close to one eye, and he could see the shadow of Lan Ling vaguely.

"Naughty." Lan Ling lightly patted Li Hong's hand on his eyes, and said with a sigh: "This was introduced by the younger brother of Queen Wang a few years ago. Now there are dozens of temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an City. But the incense money is ridiculously expensive. Your aunt doesn’t know how to make money since you were a child. Although you are a princess, you still can’t go to that big temple to pray for incense every day. There happened to be a king in the palace. The queen gave a lecture, and her brother Wang Jing introduced Weiying to her aunt."

"What about before? Only in that temple?" Li Hong continued to ask.

"Before, I had been in Guangming Temple before. After the construction of the Temple of Mercy, I heard that the Queen's brother and uncle brought him to this Temple of Mercy. What are you asking about?" Lan Ling suddenly asked strangely. Tao.

"It's nothing, just ask, I don't know which Master Weiying or Master Xuanzang is better, the Buddhist studies are more advanced." Li Hong replied casually.

"It is naturally that Master Xuanzang is much more powerful. He personally asked for the Buddhist scriptures. Moreover, Master Xuanzang only lectures to our royal people. Even your father has to go to him for two a year. Next time, now it’s almost becoming your father’s imperial master, we naturally have no turn to listen to Master Xuanzang’s lecture." Lan Ling sighed and said.

After watching Lanling’s carriage slowly departed, Li Hong was still thinking about what Lanling said. He suddenly remembered something and said: "Mang, Jingzhe, go and follow Auntie’s Carriage, you will come back after escorting home."

Li Hong continued to ponder the doubts of Ci'en Temple as he walked to the mansion. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ci'en Temple was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Weiying introduced by Queen Wang’s younger brother Wang Jing? It seems that he, like his father and his brother, are all unemployed officials.

His father, that is, the father of the Queen and Queen, was named "Special Jin", second only to the "San Gong" during the Great Dynasty. Wei Guogong was knighted, a second-ranking official and prose officer. As for the title of Queen's brother, Li Hong didn't know.

But Li Hong also knows that Queen Wang's uncle Liu Shuang is a figure with real power. At this time, he is holding the post of Zhongshuling, the governor of Zhongshu.

Li Hong shook his head and wanted to get rid of these trivial matters in his mind. It may be that he was thinking too much. At this time, in Chang'an, monasteries, large and small, are not only places for devout men and women to worship, but also places for people to visit and enjoy flowers and the moon. , Equivalent to the park for later generations.

Similarly, some monasteries also serve as the government's function of relocating the families of some deposed officials. The most well-known is probably the Ganye Temple where the mother's queen stayed.

On the morning of the second day, Li Yi's mansion hurried over after coming to the court. Six people followed him. They looked like ordinary people. They were only connaught and cautiously following Li Yi's mansion and walking in Puwang's mansion. With.

Li Hong just finished breakfast under the summer solstice, and yawned to let Li Yifu in.

Li Yi Mansion stood at the door and ordered the six people to wait outside the door. From finding these six people to now, Li Yi Mansion has not told the six people why they came here or who they wanted to see.

After hearing Li Yifu's greeting, the six hurriedly nodded and said yes, their eyes were just staring at their toes, and they didn't dare to look casually. They have never entered such a large mansion, and just walking makes them feel like they have walked half a square.

The six people uneasyly guessed in their hearts that the identity of the big person who will be able to live in such a large house in Chang'an City may be an official above the country’s official. In any case, they did not expect that they The one who will see in a while is the royal prince.

"Sit in Yifu, how about it, did someone find it?" Li Hong was not polite. He didn't sleep well last night, and his mind was always full of scenes from yesterday's Ci'en Temple.

"The King of Huidai, I have found them all. According to your instructions, two glass craftsmen, two blacksmiths, and two craftsmen who make blue bricks are all honest people. Yes, they are all skilled craftsmen in Chang'an City." After Li Yifu sat down, Xia Zhi brought a glass of water and set it down.

Li Hong is not used to drinking sencha at this time, so now he only drinks boiled water.

Li Yifu was obviously used to it, and he nodded slightly to express his gratitude to Xia Solstice.

"By the way, do you know about Ci'en Temple?" Li Hong painfully beat his small head with a small hand, and his black hair was swayed randomly on his shoulders.

"The minister knows that Ci'en Temple has just been built a few days ago. Why did the Daiwang ask about this? If you want to go, tomorrow's minister can accompany you to take a look." Li Yifu said with a hint of thought in his eyes.

"No, I went with Aunt Lanling yesterday. How much do you know about Ci'en Temple?" Li Hong allowed Xia Zhi to tie his hair into a ponytail and put it behind his head. He was too lazy to tie him.

Li Yifu groaned and said: "Um... I don't know much about the ministers. It is said that this Ci'en Temple was built by Guizi and my rich businessman from the Tang Dynasty. As for the other ministers, I don't know much." /

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, and started to make up his mind. It seems that if you don't understand this matter, you don't want to sleep well. So he wondered what secrets were hidden in this Temple of Mercy by Jingzhe and Cheetah.

"Come on, let's go, follow me to the backyard to see if these craftsmen can tinker out of this glass." Li Hong reached out his head and touched his ponytail with satisfaction, got up and walked out. go with.

Li Yifu followed closely behind him. As soon as Li Hong went out, he saw six people standing bowed to the side of the door. After a glance, he said: "Yifu, take them over and take a look."

"Yes." Li Yifu waved to the six people to follow.

When I came to the last yard, there was no one here. Except for the terraces, pavilions and gardens, there was a lot of sand piled on a clearing.

The people stopped not far from the sand pile. Li Hong looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky, and then took the piece of debris brought from Ci'en Temple yesterday from Xia Zhi.

Li Hong turned around and looked at the six people behind Li Yifu with their heads down. He handed the glass shards in his hand to the six people and asked: "Look at what this is? Does anyone know how to make this?"

The eyes of the six people stayed on the glass in Li Hongxiao's hand, and one of the craftsmen meditated and said, "This little brother..."

"Presumptuous!" Li Yifu's scolding suddenly sounded, not only the six craftsmen were shocked, but even Li Hong was shocked.

"You are the prince of my Tang Dynasty, what little brother! Don't kneel down and confess!" Li Yifu only realized that he had made a mistake at this time, and he should explain to them who he wants to see when he comes. Be clear, otherwise such embarrassing things would not happen.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Hong watched the six people kneeling before him timidly, and said: "Get up, those who don't know are innocent. By the way, you just said you know this?"

"This... is, on behalf of the king to forgive sins. Xiaomin seems to have seen it before. It seems that this thing is called... called..."

"Just say what you call, why bother, even if you make a mistake." Li Yifu urged impatiently.

"Yes, my lord, this thing should be called glass. What you have in your hand should be just a fragment."

"Do you know how to make it like this?" Li Hong asked.

"Xiaomin doesn't know." The other five people also shook their heads.

Li Hong nodded clearly, turned his head and looked at the pile of sand, and then said, "Okay, let's discuss how to refine this glass today. Among the six of you, who is the fired blue brick? Craftsman?"

"Xiaomin is." Two people stood up and said.

When Li Yifu heard it, he knew that Daiwang was going to teach this about how to find glass, so he hurriedly said: "Daiwang, the minister will leave first, and I will come back after you finish teaching."

"No, you will have to take care of this in the future. Let's take a look together. I don't know much about it. If I can do it, I have to rely on them." Li Hong said indifferently .

Li Yifu's heart was relaxed and happy. It seemed that there was no harm in walking around with Daiwang. Now he regards himself as a confidant, and he does not shy away from such important things.

Li Hong ignored the little Jiujiu in Li Yifu's heart, and watched the sun just shining on the sand. As the angle changed, from time to time, he could find sparkling bright crystals from the pile of gravel.

So he pointed to the pile of sand and said: "You look at the pile of sand from different angles. Can you see that occasionally bright and dazzling things are reflected?"

Li Yifu and six other people, including Xia Zhi, stared at the pile of sand while shaking their long necks~ IndoMTL.com~ said from time to time, "It's really true, it's really bright. ."

"Summer Solstice, is it similar to the light we saw yesterday?"

"Yes, Daiwang, although it's a bit smaller and difficult to capture, but it's really the same." Xia Zhi continued to shake his head and looked at the pile of sand.

Li Hong walked to the pile of sand and motioned for them to come, holding a handful of sand in his small hand, and gradually loosening his fingers, watching the sand fall to the ground like a line on his fingertips, and said: "In fact, this glass is from It’s extracted from the sand, so the two people who have to burn the blue bricks, let’s burn the sand these few days, burn this pile of sand and see what will happen."

"This..." The two craftsmen are a little embarrassed. What can be burned out of this burning sand?

"Use any method you can think of, no matter what method you can do. There is also a place for you. One room for two has been cleaned for you. Usually someone will bring you meals on time. "After Li Hong finished speaking, he instructed Xia Zhi to help them take care of it, and then took Li Yi Mansion to the front.

"Daiwang, you wouldn't say that the glass was fired from sand?" Li Yifu's gentle and powerful smile disappeared, his face full of surprise and incredible.

"Yes, this sand is an indispensable material for making glass, so you can imagine how cheap this glass is? But having said that, it's not that easy. There are other things that need to be mixed in between. Remember this. Don’t talk to anyone."

"Why?"

"In order to maximize the benefits, and because we don't have a large-scale established workshop, let's check the progress in the past few days. What do you think of Liu Shuang from Zhongshu?"

Li Yifu couldn't keep up with Li Hong's jumping thinking. The last sentence was still on the sand, and the next sentence jumped to Zhongshu Ling Liu Shuang.
