Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1728 Don't think about it, remember it
The maid in charge of the lantern turned off the palace lantern in her hand and put it aside, and the two went forward to return to their lives together.

Princess Changle listened quietly, didn't say much, just nodded lightly and said: "Understood."

The two maids got up and went to the bedroom to lay the bedding and light the incense.

The maid in charge of the lamp couldn't bear it, seeing no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "Tell me, is your highness interested in the son-in-law?"

The other court lady was silent for a while, and said quietly: "Even if you like it, so what? He is His Royal Highness Gao Yang's son-in-law. After all, His Royal Highness will not rob his sister for a man, or two women serve one husband together, right? If it is an ordinary family It's okay, but in the royal family...it's absolutely impossible."

"Oh... Our Highness is really a hard-working person."

"Who said no? The son-in-law of the eldest grandson looks gentle and gentle, but who knows that he is a wolf-hearted dog. He was able to do such things as kidnapping His Highness? His Highness must be heartbroken. It is really pitiful for a woman to commit herself to such a man."

"It's a pity that His Highness is a person with first-class appearance and character. Tell me, isn't this called Heaven's Jealousy?"

"Who knows, it would be great if His Majesty directly betrothed His Royal Highness to Fang Concubine without the eldest grandson Consort. Fang Concubine and His Highness are really a good match. The two of them are both strong and soft, and they are both smart and have complementary personalities. Not to mention, the children born in the future will definitely be good-looking and smart... Oops!"

The court lady was laying the mattress and whispering, when she turned her head suddenly, she saw the slender and graceful figure of her highness standing quietly at the door, she screamed in fright, and rolled off the bed, Kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, she begged with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I know my mistake, I know my mistake, please forgive me this time..."

The other court lady was also trembling with fright, kneeling like a quail without raising her head.

Now what the two of them are saying is not just as simple as contemptuous concubine, but harsher, it can almost be regarded as destroying the reputation of their own princess, and it is not wrong to kill her...

Princess Changle stood quietly, and said in a clear voice: "No one opens their mouths for twenty, and they go to the female officer to receive the punishment. It's not an exception."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty, this slave will never dare again..."

The two little maids hurriedly thanked each other as if they had been pardoned, got up and ran out to receive the punishment.

Princess Changle turned back and leaned back on the soft couch, picked up the book she had read earlier, but couldn't even read a single word...

The candlelight reflected on her face, and her incomparably beautiful face seemed to be dyed with a layer of rouge, adding a bit of charm, her expression was calm and peaceful, and she did not see happiness or anger.

But my heart was already dejected.

The maids talked nonsense, and she didn't take it to heart when they said random things. Even if these people didn't say anything, someone outside would always say it, and she didn't care about those gossip.

It's just that the word "child" that the court lady said just now hurt her deeply...

She is a woman, a woman who has no worries about food and clothing, and a woman who is single after divorce.

In the dead of night, loneliness is always the most difficult to swallow...

Princess Changle sat up from the slump, hugged her knees in her arms and lowered her chin, her long eyelashes drooped, and her eyes were fixed on her crystal and slender toes.

Candle shadows shake red, and the night is as cool as water.

*****
Fang Jun returned to the mansion, jumped off the horse with the brocade box in one hand, threw the reins to the servant who came forward, and asked, "Your Highness and Mrs. Wu are at home?"

"Yes, Your Highness hasn't gone out for a day. Mrs. Wu came back from the pier in the afternoon. She wanted to wait for you to have dinner together, but she heard that Erlang was called into the palace by His Majesty, so she had dinner early. backyard."

Fang Jun nodded, and said: "You don't need to tell the two ladies, I'm going to the study to deal with some things first, and you bring the dinner to the study."

"Here."

The servant respectfully agreed, and first handed over the horses to the side boy to lead them to the stables, while he himself went to the back kitchen to prepare dinner.

Fang Jun came to the study, waited for the maid to wash his face and hands, and then dismissed the maid, then sat in front of the desk, put the brocade box on the desk, and opened it gently.

The brocade box was covered with yellow silk, and a diamond-shaped peace amulet was quietly placed in the middle, tied with a red string.

looks old...

Fang Jun reached out and took it out, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it. A light fragrance like orchid and musk lingered in his nose. He couldn't help laughing, his mood was as clear and bright as the sun breaking through the dark clouds and shining on the earth.After playing with it for a while, he put it back into the brocade box as a treasure, and put the brocade box on the top shelf of the bookcase.

The servant brought dinner, a plate of mutton stir-fried cabbage, a cup of chicken soup with ginseng and wolfberry, a plate of beef in sauce, a plate of vinegared celery, and a steamed carp. Fang Jun was in a good mood and had a big appetite. Two bowls of rice In the lower abdomen, I ate these dishes to a great extent.

He ordered people to remove the leftovers, brewed a pot of strong tea, and spread out a thick book bound on the desk. It was a difficult problem encountered by the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor in the process of designing and expanding Wulou Temple , who said that it was Fang Jun's idea to focus on stone buildings?
The basket you poked out naturally requires you to fill the pot...

In history, the expansion of Wulou Temple was completed by Prince Li Zhi, and he renamed Wulou Temple as Da Ci'en Temple to commemorate the upbringing of the deceased mother, the eldest grandson, the queen.Now Li Zhi is still imprisoned, but this matter has not been annihilated. Instead, Li Chengqian is in charge, and Li Ke is in charge of specific matters.

The cheap talk that day prevented His Majesty Li Er from trying to use the treasury money to expand the Wulou Temple. Naturally, he had to come up with a cheap and clever way to replace it, otherwise not only the emperor who refused to suffer, would not be able to spare him, but even Li Ke, who was in charge of the construction, would also talk to him endlessly...

Fang Jun's idea is to replace all the main buildings of Da Ci'en Temple with stone buildings in the future.

Comparatively speaking, the value of stone is only one-twelfth of that of precious wood, and the difficulty lies in the quarrying and transportation. However, the project of Dacien Temple is huge, and it is a key project of the royal family. It is completely feasible to connect the temple with the Qujiang River to become a waterway connecting Chang'an inside and outside.In this way, it is only necessary to quarry stones in the mountains near Chang'an, and then transport them to Chang'an city by means of waterways extending in all directions, which is convenient, quick, and time-saving.

Furthermore, the Qianling Mausoleum project is nearing completion, and outstanding stonemasons from all over the world are about to return to their hometowns. We can take advantage of this opportunity to order them to build the Daci'en Temple. Not to mention a long time, still need to pay huge wages.

In this day and age, carpenters are high-level craftsmen, while masons are not popular at all...

Compared with wooden buildings, stone buildings are less magnificent and gorgeous, but more simple and heavy, and are more able to withstand natural disasters and man-made disasters.There has always been a lack of stone buildings in Chinese culture, more because of different aesthetics. No matter how skilled a craftsman is, it is impossible to carve stones with complicated and beautiful patterns like wood, and the rough and tall architectural styles of the West. It seems that it is simply perfunctory, horrible...

However, rarity is the most precious thing, and it is called excellence if it stands out from the crowd, and it is also a style if it stands out from the crowd.

If you want to wait thousands of years later, such a temple with the theme of stone architecture mixed with countless luxurious palaces throughout the ages may also become a different kind of scenery.

Fang Jun does not need to design the entire temple building, that is the responsibility of the Ministry of Works and the general supervisor. He only needs to solve a series of difficult problems such as quarrying and transportation encountered by the Ministry of Engineering and the general supervisor during the design. Come up with a solution.

It's totally an extra task...

After working for a while, he drank tea to refresh himself, put down his brush, walked to the window and opened it, a gust of cool air poured into the room.

The bright moon is in the sky, and there are few stars.

In a few days, I will set off to go south to participate in such a major event as the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. I can't say how excited I am, but there are always some hidden meanings.

Traveling so far, from a waste material who is destined to wear a cuckold and be ridiculed for thousands of years, and is finally given to death for treason, he has risen step by step to become a hot figure who can stir up the court situation with one hand. forward.

However, to his heart, there is only one real purpose for being a big official and earning too much money—to leave something of his own in this age of prosperity.

If a leopard dies and the geese leave their voices, if one day he dies in this era, he finds that he is only greedy for pleasure, has failed the second life bestowed on him by God, and has not done anything meaningful for his family and country. Can you feel at ease?

For a person who has only one life, when looking back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his life, nor feel ashamed for doing nothing, then this life is not in vain.

For him, although it is not necessary to dedicate this second life and all his energy to the most precious cause of life - fighting for the liberation of mankind, he still has to do something that he never thought of in his previous life. Can't do it?

So this time, his purpose is definitely not just to annihilate Goguryeo's shabby navy that is too shabby to look at directly, but also to do a major event that makes people in his original era raise their arms and clap their hands...

Some things, as long as there is a chance, every Chinese descendant will do it.
