Hearing this news, the general's side suddenly exploded.

I have long seen that Tugu is not pleasing to the eye, but now I can send troops to destroy a country, it is really, it is true.

It's so enjoyable!

The Eastern Turks, Gaochang, and then Tuyuhun will sooner or later, and one day, all the enemy countries around the Tang Dynasty will be wiped out!

"Which general will go on the expedition, my father will arrange it, and there will be nothing to do. However, the grain and grass in Longyou cannot be moved, and the grain and grass in Tuguhun will be deployed from Chang'an! ”

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Highness, Longyou has been ripe for two consecutive years, and the reserves of grain and grass are abundant, which is also the reason why Weichen and others are in favor of sending troops to Tuguhun, but if it is to allocate grain and grass from Chang'an, wouldn't it be far away to quench their thirst?" His Royal Highness should know how much loss there is from the allocation of grain and grass from Chang'an to the border! ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Lone is naturally clear, but the grain and grass in Longyou is actually not enough to supply the army, in the opinion of Lone, the supply will be weak in the later period, rather than consuming the grain and grass in Longyou from the beginning, it is better to supply it from Chang'an first, and when the war is stalemate in the later stage, it will be much more convenient to transfer grain from Longyou." ”

Li Jing agreed: "This is also a good way, starting a war with Tuyuhun will inevitably invade their country, and when there is a shortage of grain, it will be much more convenient to transfer grain near than to transfer grain from afar." ”

Seeing that Li Jing also said the same, Fang Xuanling returned to his position. From the perspective of military strategy, there is a reason for doing this, but he always feels that the prince's decision is very awkward. Use the grain and grass of Longyou first, and then Chang'an will send grain to Longyou, isn't it the same? It seems to be very in line with the military strategy, but it is just inverted before and after, although it is not a snake painting, but there is always such a taste in it.

What does this mean, Prince?

Seeing that Li Jing came out of class to support him, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it's only the end of May, July, there will be an earthquake in Longyou, although I don't know what the scale is, but since it can be compared with the big flood, it is estimated that the magnitude is not low. Draw the grain and grass in Longyou, and when a disaster occurs later, it is necessary to supply both the army and the people affected by the disaster. Therefore, instead of using Longyou's reserves, it is better to keep them for disaster relief and supply them from Chang'an from the beginning.

Tuyuhun's attack was too unreasonable, otherwise the ministers would not have agreed to use the real reserves of the treasury. You must know that a war with Tuyuhun is enough to hollow out the old bottom of the treasury, in the real sense.

Not long after Li Jian left, he came back and brought the emperor's handwritten letter.

After opening the handbook and reading it, Li Chengqian announced: "My father has a life...."

Hearing this, the military generals immediately quieted down, quietly waiting for the emperor's appointment. Tuyuhun is not as good as Gaochang, although it is just a counterattack, not a complete annihilation, but such a feat is definitely more than the elimination of Gaochang, no matter who gets this opportunity, he can lie on the merit book and breathe a sigh of relief.

"Appointed Fan Guogong as the chief of the Xihaidao march, and led the border army and the soldiers and horses of the tribes such as Qibi and Dangxiang to conquer Tuyuhun. Appointed Fan Xing, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, as the head of the Chishui Road march to assist the main force! ”

After hearing all the news, Duan Zhixuan's mouth grew, and it was hard to imagine that he would get such an opportunity.

Fan Xing was much more straightforward, and immediately laughed and said that after returning from the expedition, he would invite all his colleagues to have a banquet together.

"Because my father is seriously ill and it is not suitable to go out, the etiquette of worshipping the general will be done by the lonely, Fan Guogong, no problem."

Duan Zhixuan walked out of the team, knelt down on one knee and said: "It is an honor for Weichen to be able to preside over the etiquette by His Royal Highness, but Gaochang, Lanzhou, and Kuozhou are in danger, and Weichen is willing to avoid vulgar etiquette and go out as soon as possible!" ”

Fan Xing also stood up and said that he was also willing to go directly to the expedition.

The etiquette of worshipping generals is the highest honor for military generals, and they are willing to put down this glory and set off directly, which is enough to prove the dedication of the two.

Li Chengqian nodded, walked down the steps, and bowed: "In this case, Lone is in this Taiji Hall to perform the etiquette of worshipping the general, the situation is urgent, please two of you." When you return triumphantly, Lone will go out of the city to greet you! ”

"I will live up to His Highness's trust!"

The complicated etiquette, under the loud roars of Duan Zhixuan and Fan Xing, is over.

At the end of the court meeting, Du Ruhui and others returned to the official office almost all the way. Mobilizing troops against a big country, from the dispatch of troops to victory, the military department will not be able to rest.

Li Chengqian, who ended the court meeting, went directly to the apse and entered the harem.

In the Ganlu Palace, the emperor and empress and Li Tai were playing mahjong, and the army went out, and the eldest grandson Wuji also rushed back to work in the household department. To Li Chengqian's surprise, it was Li Yuan who appeared in the Ganlu Hall at this time to play mahjong with the three of them.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming in, Li Yuan laughed and said, "The court meeting is over? It's just in time, Qingque is about to lose everything, you come to take over. ”

Fiddling with a few pieces of broken silver on the table, seeing that Li Tai did not have a reluctant expression on his face, he knew that this guy probably lost on purpose.

Sure enough, when he got up to give up his position, Li Tai anxiously whispered in Li Chengqian's ear: "Brother Huang, I'm going back to the College of Engineering to continue the experiment, and it's been shelved for more than a month!" ”

As soon as he thought of what he had done this month, Li Tai jumped to his feet in a hurry. Originally, I heard that the emperor's father was going to die, so I ran into the palace crying anxiously, only to know that the emperor's father was not doing anything, he was acting. Because he wants to act realistically, he, the second son of his in-laws, has to serve both sides.

But in the name of service, in fact, he was caught as a partner in playing mahjong, a few pieces of broken wood, and he just let himself win through changing strategies, this kind of thing full of probabilities, I don't know why everyone likes it. The Emperor Taishang was originally looking at the limelight and preparing to meet the emperor's son, and after studying and understanding the gameplay of mahjong, his butt grew to the chair.

Patting Li Tai on the shoulder, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "What are you in a hurry, the stone grease water extracted from the Yanzhou Oilfield has only been sent to Chang'an, and the smelting equipment is still being forged, if you don't lay the foundation enough, how can you make the hot air balloon successful?" ”

I don't know if Li Tai heard it clearly, and he didn't even bring the rest of the silver, so he fled.

It is a good thing that someone has added capital, and Li Chengqian also sat down, ready to kill the three parties.

After drawing the card, he reported: "Father, you see that your son has been helping you to supervise the country for a month, is it time to go back with you?" The army that set out to conquer Tuyuhun will start immediately, and you should take care of such a major matter personally. ”

With a bad face, Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's time to end this farce, in fact, it's not bad for you to supervise the country, although you are still young, but you already have the qualifications to be a monarch, and you have worked hard for this time." ”

Not bad too? Playing a red shot, Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "It's better to say goodbye, you are prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and your sons still have a lot to learn." ”

Thinking of the impending disaster, Li Chengqian really had no intention of continuing to supervise the country.

Earthquakes, floods, such disasters, when the emperor is bound to take the blame, if the emperor is still relying on the manna hall as an otaku, wouldn't it all fall on my head? I, Li Chengqian, don't carry such a black pot!

"It's just to tease you, to see how scared you, three cakes! I'll be back tomorrow, so go back to the East Palace tonight." ”

Seeing that the emperor's father finally relented, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the emperor and the crown prince were so casual in each other's affairs, Li Yuan couldn't help but be envious. It stands to reason that the crown prince should be one of the emperor's biggest vigilantes, even if he didn't dare to relax at the beginning, but now it seems that Erlang and Chengqian are obviously not like this.

"Shijo...."

Seeing that Li Yuan really threw out four, Li Chengqian, as the banker, did not hesitate to push down the cards, and said with a smile: "Four or seven, all the same, haha, the emperor's grandfather, Chenghui sixteen taels!" ”

Li Yuan didn't get angry, but laughed: "It's a good start, I just dig it." ”

After playing mahjong for an hour, Li Chengqian had already earned a small box of broken silver and a few gold bars. The best character at the gaming table is to "take it when you see it", so he left without hesitation.

The turmoil of the Tengu Eclipse Day is only now completely over.

When the emperor "recovered" and returned to power, the East Palace also welcomed the long-awaited guests.

"Poor Lu Qingming, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

For this one, Li Chengqian naturally wanted to return the salute: "Daoist Lu, please take a seat, I didn't expect you to go out of the mountain so soon, and I didn't even give Gu a chance to greet him." ”

Lu Qingming's robe looked very shabby, and the wooden hairpin on his head was obviously cut out of a branch. But such a sloppy person inherited the achievements of the sages of the past generations, and deduced astronomically to the extent that he could predict a solar eclipse.

What's more, this guy is young enough! It is estimated that it will not be more than forty years old.

At such an age, there is still a lot of room for improvement! How can you stay in the deep mountains and old forests, you have to put him in the academy as a teacher!

Li Chengqian's blazing gaze did not arouse Lu Qingming's disgust, and after taking a sip of hot tea, he said straight to the point: "The original intention of the poor road is to live in the mountains for a long time, continue to deduce astrology, and seek the truth, not to develop it into a misguided path such as divination. If Your Highness has such an idea, please forgive Lu Qingming and go back to the mountain. ”

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head: "What are you talking about, Lone never believed that the stars would dominate the development of events in the world. They are all stars that shine like the sun, or they are like the moon, just a desert world, how can there be gods or something living on them. ”

Hearing the word "moon", Lu Qingming's heart felt as if he had been scratched by a cat's paw, and immediately got up and arched his hand: "I heard that Yuan Tiangang said that His Royal Highness has a way to let Poor Dao see what is on the moon?" I don't know where your confidence comes from, and I don't know why you have such confidence. ”

Being able to see what is on the moon is the real reason why Lu Qingming came out of the mountain.

For this answer, Li Chengqian had already thought of his words, took out a transparent crystal piece, and said: "Look at this, this is a transparent crystal, Lone found that when this crystal piece has a curvature, put it in front of your eyes, and look at the things in front of you through it, it will be magnified." As long as we figure out this magnifying pattern, we can see what's on the moon. The moon itself is bright at night, and I believe that we will be able to see it! ”

Taking the crystal piece, Lu Qingming tried it and found that it was indeed the case. After thinking about it for a while, I found that it was indeed the case.

"Your Highness's whimsy, Poor Dao is convinced, but you haven't directly fulfilled your promise, is Your Highness going to use the painted cake to let Poor Dao out of the mountain?"

Holding the crystal piece in his hand, Lu Qingming already felt that he was worth it this time. The prince's solicitation is not something that anyone can ignore. Before leaving the mountain, he had already learned from Yuan Tiangang what kind of person the prince was, and he also knew how he would be arranged by the prince. However, he was still ready ....

Be hypocritical.

Standing up from his seat, Li Chengqian opened the window, pointed to the sky outside and said, "There are some things that Lone can only tell you, Daoist Lu, looking at the stars in the sky, you don't want to understand them thoroughly?" Looking at the moon closest to us, you didn't think about climbing up and leaving footprints on it? Lone and his brother are making something that can take people flying, called a hot air balloon, with which people's feet can leave the ground and float in the sky. This is just the first step, and when the second step is taken, we will decide for ourselves how to fly and how to fly.

When the sky is also conquered, the outside of the sky will be our new goal. It takes more than one or two generations to cross a long distance and get to the moon. Isn't it true that you live in seclusion in the mountains and study alone in order to inherit and pass on astrology? Lone is fond of the words inheritance and inheritance because it represents the essence of human beings.

All kinds of people in the world constitute the world, but to sum up, in fact, they are all the same, people live for inheritance and inheritance. Although it is a country that wants to inherit and inherit, and what farmers want to inherit and inherit is a few acres of land in a house, but the essence is the same. The same is true for learning. The reason why we can calculate the time of the solar eclipse is the result of the accumulation of ancestors from generation to generation.

As a part of the inheritance, Lone feels that it is necessary for us to carry forward the inherited things and leave enough achievements for future generations to inherit. If we are a handful of soil, then the next generation is the second handful of soil, and the accumulation of a handful of soil can always be piled up into a high mountain, and the next handful of soil can always be sent to a higher place. If you accumulate like this, you will one day be able to send a handful of soil to the moon.

Lu Daochang, I ask you, are you willing to be the bottom of the soil? ”

The sunlight outside the window was very bright, looking at the prince bathed in the sun, Lu Qingming suddenly had a desire to worship.

I have to say that the prince's words are too reasonable!

Standing up excitedly, Lu Qingming arched his hand and said: "Your Highness's words, let the poor road suddenly open, Your Highness is right, the poor road should be a piece of soil." I heard that Zhenguan College has gathered a large number of students, and the branches of the School of History and other branches can find enough fresh blood in the college, I don't know, can Poor Dao create a star academy and recruit some students? ”

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, the academy has never restricted students from choosing their own future paths, as long as there are students who like Star Academy and are willing to follow you, you can always cultivate Star Academy." ”

Lu Qingming was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said, "That being the case, please also ask Your Highness to give a letter of recommendation to Poor Dao, and Poor Dao will go to the academy." ”

Finally fooled the astronomical boss, Li Chengqian did not hesitate to write a letter of recommendation, so that Lu Qingming could be recognized by Yang Du and others.

Looking at the back of Lu Qingming leaving, Li Chengqian patted his chest before suppressing a feeling of nausea.

When he said this, he was going to be disgusted by himself.

I have read too many chicken soup texts in later generations, so that I can make up a text full of great truths anytime and anywhere. When you meet this kind of worldly master, what gold and silver treasures. Fame and fortune are not as effective as such a big truth. Looking forward to the future, with the variation of Brother Niu's "giant remarks", Lu Qingming immediately became enthusiastic.

When I was about to go back to the study, I saw Zhang Yun's constipated expression.

"If you have anything to say, why are you holding back?"

Zhang Yun then spoke: "Your Highness, Fang Sheng is going to die, the imperial doctor invited him, saying that his essence and blood are exhausted, and he will travel far in the next two days." The eunuch who was about to die had to be sent directly out of the palace and buried in a mass grave, and the slave felt ....."

"Lone knows."

In response, Li Chengqian sighed and went towards Fang Sheng's residence.

Those who should go will go after all, judging from the grade, Fang Sheng is already in his seventies, and dying at this age is not an untimely death. Although there are breeding farms, the palace maids and eunuchs who are carried out of the palace on the surface and want to be buried alive in the mass grave are all sent to the breeding farm and buried only after they are really breathing. However, Fang Sheng is the chief manager of the East Palace, and he has been with him for so many years, so he can't be carried out.

Outside Fang Sheng's residence, there were worried eunuchs, and even someone had prepared a stretcher.

Seeing that the prince was coming, everyone got out of the way and looked sadly at the door of the room. The fate of a slave is always like dust, and it does not change depending on who is in charge.

Glancing at the stretcher, Li Chengqian glanced at the two eunuchs and said, "Take this thing aside." ”

After driving away the eunuch who was carrying the stretcher, Li Chengqian walked into the room.

Fang Sheng was not the only one in the room, Xiuxiu, Wang Sheng, and several important informants from the Despicable Alliance were there.

Seeing the prince coming in, several people were shocked. Wang Sheng hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, it's better for you to avoid it." We'll send Fang Sheng to the farm, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Pushed Wang Sheng away, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

A person's collapse will be very fast, and now Fang Sheng is like skin and bones, his two hands are like eagle claws, his eyes are half-squinted, and his mouth can only make one or two whining sounds.

Sighing, Li Chengqian said helplessly: "The rules of the palace don't need to be copied to the East Palace, you have been in business for so long, you can still hide such news." I don't mind if someone dies in the East Palace, it's nothing to breathe in the East Palace. Fang Sheng, Lone knows that you have done a lot of things for Lone, since you are full of nostalgia for the East Palace, Lone will not throw you away when you are dying. Seeing that you are struggling to breathe, it must be very painful, right? Lone is in charge, giving you two choices, if you want, Lone can let the imperial doctor prescribe poison to you, so that you can end the pain as soon as possible, if you don't want to do this, Lone is here with you until you leave completely, how about it? Choose the former or the latter, you blink, blink once is the former, twice is the latter. ”

Fang Sheng opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, and finally he could only blink his eyes vigorously, and then stared at everyone and stopped blinking.

Li Chengqian nodded, turned back to the crying crowd and said, "Pass on the imperial doctor." ”
