Chapter 176: Stealing a name
There are many royal rules, even if Li Chengqian is not yet an adult, if he wants to enter the harem, he must report it, and he can only come in after obtaining permission.
Although he was brought in by the emperor today, if he wanted to stay for a while, he had to get the consent of one of the emperors and queens.
If not, heh.
Glancing at the dead-faced eunuch behind him, Li Chengqian didn't think that this guy would be unable to do it.
Geng Buqu said that when he was in the palace, he helped the emperor train a group of eunuchs. And there are still some old people in the palace who have existed since the year of Wu De, and each of them is a killer. The biggest dream of these people is that they will be interested in the palace without opening their eyes, so that what they have learned can be used by the invading fools.
Soon after Ziyan entered, she came out and invited the prince into the palace.
The eldest grandson's confinement is almost over, and she looks a little plump after giving birth to another child.
Seeing Li Chengqian coming in, he smiled and said, "Although you didn't come to see it when your brother was born, for the sake of you being so concerned about this palace, you don't care about it." Come, look at your brother. ”
Li Chengqian agreed, and approached.
Not long after Li Zhi finished feeding, he was falling asleep with his eyes closed, looking at his small appearance, it was hard to imagine that this was the Tang Gaozong Li Zhi later.
The founder of the "rule of Yonghui", and this guy is the style of Emperor Wu, who actively expanded externally, destroyed the Western Turks, Baekje, and Goguryeo, and promoted the territory to achieve the maximum, starting from the Korean Peninsula in the east, expanding the Aral Sea in the west, covering Lake Baikal in the north, and reaching Hengshan in Vietnam in the south, which lasted for 32 years.
If he didn't have a strong mother-in-law, I'm afraid his reputation wouldn't be weaker than his father's. It's just that Wu Zetian is only four years old now, and her father, Wu Shitong, has served as the governor of Yuzhou, Lizhou and Jingzhou.
This is the end of the merit is not enough, although the warrior Tong inherited his father's legacy, was listed as one of the "Taiyuan Yuanmou Meritorious Heroes", and got the title of Duke of Yingguo, but really, the status and merit do not match.
Like Cheng Yanjin and others, because they are suspected of being from the dragon, even if they have become the prince of the country, they still have the courage to compete for the first place in the face of war. Only by accumulating enough meritorious deeds can the title be passed on safely, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, there is no need to worry. Otherwise, just like those who knelt outside the Chengtian Gate at the beginning, they were pushed to the end by the new emperor.
"Queen Mother, seeing that you and the pheasant slave are very good, the sons are relieved. The children in the harem can't stay for long, so they go back to the East Palace. When you can go out, you might as well take the pheasant slave to the East Palace for a walk. ”
The eldest grandson nodded, although as the queen, she was not good at always letting the prince stay in the harem.
Coming out of the Liangyi Palace, Li Chengqian shook his head and threw out some strange thoughts in his mind.
Seeing Li Zhi today, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, made him a little more flustered.
If the course of history were to be changed, would it cause the grandmother paradox?
For Datang, he is a figure more than a thousand years later, and his existence is based on the premise that the historical line is correct.
But what if the historical route changes? If the Tang Dynasty was not followed by five dynasties and ten kingdoms, but something else, would it lead to the fact that he would not appear in the future?
If there is no such person as him in the future, then what is the matter with the soul in this body?
Philosophical questions seem simple, but after getting entangled in them, you will find that your mind is not enough at all.
Chicken or egg? The devil knows what the answer to this question is!
People can't be swayed by their own minds, so when they encounter problems that are difficult to understand for a while, Li Chengqian will always seal them in his heart, and generally at the right time, these questions can always be prompted, and even find answers.
And until then, let's live!
Back at the palace, he went to the kitchen and asked for a large piece of jerky, and Li Chengqian was ready to tease the dog.
Dogs who are still two or three months old can't learn complex commands, but they should still be able to learn things like "shaking hands" and "sitting down"!
With the black charcoal head here, Li Chengqian's life will not be too boring after all.
Life in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be colorful, but if he had a choice, he still hoped to lie in bed with his mobile phone or ride a battery car through the streets and alleys. Nowadays, when there is a lack of entertainment, it is more interesting to have a dog than to be a prince.
Just when Li Chengqian was teasing the black charcoal head, in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Xuanzang took the reply letter with a look of disgrace.
The emperor didn't even bother to talk back to himself, and deliberately asked the prince to reply to him, just to tell him that the emperor meant the same as the prince.
"I can understand that although my Buddhism was once prosperous, since the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, it has become the primary object of royal vigilance. It is said that Buddhism is boundless, but who would have thought that this empty door is just a resting place for the laity. Nowadays, there is a tendency in temples around the country to chase the wind and Taoism, and the monks should be compassionate, but they all get into the eyes of money. Xuanzang, you must not be led astray by them. ”
In the dilapidated meditation room, an old monk in a shabby monk's robe sits. In front of the futon and the wooden fish, there is no Buddha statue, but nothing. But even so, Xuanzang is also respectful to this master.
"Master Huiming, the little monk thinks that he has never slackened off in the study of Buddhism. Nowadays, the little monk has a deep insight into the Mahayana Sutras, the Northern and Southern Earth Theory, and the Regency Theory, but in view of the difference between the Northern Earth Theory and the Southern Regency Theory of Physiognomy, if you want to integrate the Buddhism of our Middle Earth, the only way to go west is to seek the Dharma, go straight to the original scriptures, and re-translate them. In the ninth year of Wude, when the Tianzhu monk Bopo arrived in Chang'an, the little monk heard that the master of Tianzhu's precepts taught the "Yoga Treatise" in Nalanda Temple. Therefore, during the lifetime of Master Jiexian, the little monk must go west and study under the master.
Master Huiming, since His Majesty the Emperor refused to help, the little monk traveled west alone. If you don't have the truth, you vow not to return to Chang'an! ”
Hui Ming turned his head, but he couldn't help but squint his eyes because of the sunlight shining through the open door of the meditation room.
With the rising sun as the background, Xuanzang, who has a black face, flashes with firmness mixed with a trace of madness.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, the old man will not say much. The journey is thrilling, and if you are not careful, you will be overturned. The old monk can't help, only a white horse, still riding, when you decide to set off, I will give it to you as a foot force! ”
Xuanzang folded his hands and thanked Huiming for his gift.
Walking out of the meditation room and looking at the southwest direction, Xuanzang took a deep breath. I can't go now, the monk Xiaoda of Qinzhou. Now in Chang'an to learn the Nirvana Sutra, it is said that his elders know the way to Tianzhu, and there is no need to cross the reckless forest sea. After he finishes his studies, he will first visit his elders in Qinzhou, and then officially set off!
The clouds under the sunset, shimmering with golden luster, are full of temptation for those who look west.
"Sit down!"
With Li Chengqian's order, the black charcoal head sat down very smartly.
"Sit down, don't move!"
After settling down with this little bastard, Li Chengqian continued to practice archery.
It's very strange that Yan Liben has already returned to Chang'an, but there is still no news of him offering cement in the court.
What the hell is this guy doing?
If it weren't for waiting for Yan Liben to go to court, Li Chengqian would have gone to the academy a long time ago.
Just yesterday, several small courtyards were built for gentlemen. After learning the news, the old gentleman didn't care about the lack of decoration, and insisted on urging Li Chengqian to send troops to send him over.
Knowing that Donggong was very bored, he also wanted to go to the academy, even if he fished by the Weishui, it was more interesting than shooting arrows here non-stop.
Three arrows in succession hit the bull's-eye, and Li Chengqian shook his sore arm, and couldn't help but be extremely satisfied with his results.
Fang Shuo came over from the side and said with a smile: "Your Highness has now learned the essence of archery, these three arrows are really beautiful!" ”
Li Chengqian turned around and kicked Fang Shuo back two steps in fright.
"Roll the ball, it's only a dozen paces away. Tomorrow, Gu will extend the shooting distance, you and Fang Sheng both ordered to go down, the guards and palace people who have nothing to do with it don't go here, beware that the Lone Shooting target is not accurate, but the shooting person is right in the middle of the matter. ”
Fang Shuo and Fang Sheng both agreed.
Looking back at the black charcoal head, it's not bad, this guy is still sitting there, and he doesn't mean to get up.
Picking up a piece of beef jerky from his sleeve, he was rewarded with it.
Looking at the westerly sun, Li Chengqian decided that if this guy didn't act tomorrow, he would come to the door and kick him to move.
It's just cement, and he was willing to coerce and lure him, so he can use such hypocrisy!
Early the next morning, Li Chengqian got up early in the morning as usual, first practicing swords, then boxing and archery.
When he drew his long sword and was about to call a soldier to let him control the puppeteer, Li Jing came out from the side.
Reach out and pull on the ropes that control the puppeteer, and as long as you move, the puppeteer's upper body or arms will move.
Li Jing said strangely: "I didn't expect His Highness to raise the difficulty for himself. ”
It was rare to see Li Jing once, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Since you are here today, why don't you see the achievements of your disciples?" ”
Li Jing nodded, and after learning to control the puppet, he motioned for Li Chengqian to draw his sword.
The sword moves, Li Jing's fists and feet are not weak, and controlling the puppet is very similar to that.
But even so, Li Chengqian was still able to draw a sword on the puppet's body, and the armor did not shelter to a sword.
The sword is light and agile, and if it is simply used for chopping, it is better to have a horizontal knife than to be strong enough.
After even the five swords were hit, Li Jing stopped. Walking up to the puppet, he admired the sword marks on the puppet's neck, armpits, and eyes.
With his eyesight, he can naturally see the trickiness and strength of these five swords, and it can be said that if it weren't for his lack of age, the prince's combat ability would definitely reach the level of a general.
"Very good, in terms of swordsmanship, the old man has nothing to teach you. After the dispersal of the dynasty today, the old man wants to see the same new building materials as the generals, if the prince has time, why not come? ”
New fortification materials? It must be cement!
Unexpectedly, Yan Liben finally started to act.
"Naturally!"
After agreeing, Li Chengqian skipped the stage of practicing boxing and practiced archery directly.
Li Jing's archery skills are not bad, the emperor has not been here once since he finished instructing him on the basics, and he wants to shoot at a distance of more than fifty steps, and it doesn't hurt to listen to the experience before practicing.
Li Jing was not ready to go to the court anyway, so he simply instructed Li Chengqian.
Among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, although he Li Jing is not very old, he has reached a feared height.
It's not good to have too much military merit! If other officials don't go to court, or always don't go to court because of illness, it's a big crime, but when it comes to Li Jing, no one cares. Although he is the first person in the military, together with the generals who are angry, they are also afraid of Li Jing, the "Duke of Weiguo".
With Li Jing's teachings, Li Chengqian's archery at a distance of 50 paces gradually became regular.
It was not until the end of the year that someone came to call Li Jing to the Lizheng Palace. The court meeting has ended, and the new materials related to military affairs have to be tested by Li Jing in the present.
put down the bow and arrow, changed clothes on the martial arts field, and Li Chengqian also followed Li Jing into the palace with great interest.
In the Lizheng Palace, there are not many people at this time.
It is impossible to be wary of materials that can be applied to the military.
Therefore, in addition to the generals above the fourth grade, there are only a few leading bigwigs such as Fang Xuanling in Wenchen.
It's very strange that Yan Liben is obviously here to offer cement, but he is holding the wat board and bowing his head on the side.
At this time, in the middle of the main hall and mud, it was a guy who had never seen it.
"Who is this?"
Stretching out his hand to poke Li Jing, who was walking in front, Li Chengqian basically would not subconsciously remember the officials in the DPRK.
Li Jing turned around and said, "The Ministry of Works, Duan Lun, or Princess Gaomi's concubine, why don't you know each other?" ”
“....”
Li Chengqian really wanted to tell Li Jing that he didn't even care if Princess Gaomi was called an aunt or not.... I can't call my sister, it seems that I am the biggest, and it seems that this one is my uncle.
The cement made by the cement workshop was of very good quality, and on the layers of linen, Duan Lun quickly mixed the cement and sand together. It seems that this man did not count the mason's points, so he did not build a wall, but just piled a few large stones and pasted them with cement.
After completion, Duan Lun arched his hand to the people around him: "Originally, this cement needs to be completely dried before it is finished, in order not to delay the time of Your Majesty and you, the finished product has been prepared." ”
After speaking, Duan Lun clapped his hands, and a few strong men pushed a finished product up.
The stones were cemented into a cube, and the angular ones looked much better than the scum on the linen.
Seeing the finished product, the generals rushed over.
I heard that this thing can build an extremely strong wall as long as it is used with a boulder, and even if Hercules fights with a giant hammer, he can't cause visible damage without enough time. Starting.. ..
Wei Chigong was an anxious man, and he didn't care that this was the Lizheng Palace, so he ran outside the hall and grabbed a weapon, so anxious that the guards chased after him.
This is also Wei Chigong, if you change someone to grab a weapon, I am afraid that you will be surrounded directly.
waved his hand to let the guards leave, and Li Shimin was very relieved about the people in the hall at this time.
Cheng Yanjin also grabbed a horizontal knife, and was on the side of Wei Chigong, who was holding a spear, to try the sturdiness of this thing.
Cement naturally will not disappoint them, although under the ferocious attack of these two strong men, there is constantly cement slag, but it just does not disintegrate.
It is already very satisfying to be able to be strong like this, but Li Shimin is not satisfied, and also ordered Zhang Yun to get the giant hammer, it seems that he will not stop if he does not destroy this cube.
While everyone's attention was on the cement, Li Chengqian approached Yan Liben and stretched out his hand to pat him.
Who would have thought that this slap would startle Yan Liben.
"Clever, I even thought of making a finished product and then displaying it in the temple. It's just that why did you give the surname Duan the work of building the wall? Isn't it better for you to work on your own? ”
I've never eaten pork, and I've never seen a pig run. Although Yan Liben is not a mason, there is no shortage of such manpower as a prisoner, and he shouldn't know how to do it at all.
Yan Liben cried with a sad face and whispered, "Your Highness, don't make a noise. Regarding cement, Xia Guan is ready to hand over to the Ministry of Works. Duan Duwei said that as long as this credit is given to him, the Ministry of Industry will sign an official document to change the nationality of a hundred skilled craftsmen, so that they can attend classes at the academy in an open and honest manner. ”
"What?"
Li Chengqian's voice was loud, but it was muffled by the noise made by the two madmen.
Yan Liben hurriedly covered Li Chengqian's mouth: "It's rude, Your Highness." From the point of view of the lower officials, it is better to give this credit to the Duke of Ji Guo. Although he is a prince of the country, he does not correspond to merit. He has secured the position of the duke, which is more important than changing the official to a baron. What's more, the craftsmen registered in the Ministry of Engineering are all outstanding skilled craftsmen in the world, and sending these people to the academy is the most important thing. ”
Annoyed, he tore Yan Liben's hand away, and looked at Duan Lun, who was laughing in front of the cement section, Li Chengqian was suddenly annoyed.
This dog thief is obviously using the craftsman to change his nationality, and he is ready to put the credit of the cement on himself. This kind of behavior is more shameless than robbery! Such a face is exactly the same as his later stationmaster's supposed to swallow all the bonuses of the city's best performance award.
Bastard! No matter how high the performance is, it is also sent by Lao Tzu. What does it have to do with you bastard in front of the computer?
Other stationmasters consciously divided the money, or used it as a public fund for one station, only this grandson Tian shamelessly swallowed it.
Looking at Duan Lun's handsome face again, Li Chengqian could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and pushed Yan Liben away with a slap, and came up.
"Duan Lun, I heard that this cement was researched by you?"
Everyone was originally cheering up Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, because these two people were about to shake a stone down.
Suddenly, when he heard the prince's sharp voice, he couldn't help but turn his head, and even Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong stopped.
Duan Lun, who was originally beaming, was already thinking about the rewards he could get, and when he heard the prince's voice, he said without thinking: "Naturally, it was researched by Weichen, I heard that His Highness is building an academy?" It just so happens that after the Ministry of Engineering has output, the first batch will be supplied to the college. ”
