Chapter 723: The Book of the Northern Han Dynasty (I)
Looking at Li Hong and Pei Xiaodie's sweet appearance, Chen Fang remembered one thing, that is, Li Hong and Pei Xiaodie had no descendants in their previous lives.
If they had offspring, there would not be any second sage who passed Li Longji to Li Hong as an heir, and remembering this incident, Chen Fang specially approached Lin Shixuan and asked her if she could check Fluttershy's body to see if she could get pregnant.
Lin Shixuan nodded, on the first day of the seventh month, Lin Shixuan gave Chen Fang a positive answer, Pei Xiaodie had no problems with her body.
Then at this time, Li Hong's body had to be checked, but when Chen Fang mentioned this matter, Lin Shixuan just said that it was not easy for men to check this aspect.
After all, Linqing Ange has always been a women's business, and before they came into contact with Chen Fang, no matter what, men would not be treated at all unless they were descendants of the Lin family.
Therefore, Linqing Ange can have a way to check a woman's body, but there is no way to check a man.
In fact, in this era, there is really no effective way to check infertility, after all, cytology is involved, and it is really difficult to do without a microscope. As for the various reagents, well, chemistry and medicine at this time really can't support it.
can't be tested, Chen Fang can only give up, it seems that whether Li Hong has any descendants or not, it still depends on the mandate of heaven.
After Li Hong recuperated in Linqing Ange and recovered a little, he could actually be regarded as having a two-person world with Pei Xiaodie here, and Chen Fang bumped into Li Hong once when he was restless with Pei Xiaodie, and when he saw the horse coming in, he hurriedly pulled his hand out of the clothes that accompanied Xiaodie.
Let them have a good life in Linqing'an Pavilion, after June, Chen Fang went to Linqing'an Pavilion, and he didn't go to Li Hong much, he really bumped into something that shouldn't be bumped into, how bad.
In June, the first batch of artillery guns was also cast, a total of 32 guns, which were used for batch testing and were not intended to be shipped to the Youzhou frontier.
Although the previous one performed well and did not have any problems when doing continuous shelling, the necessary batch test still had to be done, and the artillery Chen Fang did it for the first time, so he must be cautious.
This batch of artillery was directly assigned to several Zhichong provinces near Chang'an, and they were asked to intensify their training.
On the side of the Ziwuling Branch, the newly transferred Xing disciples from the Criminal Department have also been escorted, and the branch is stepping up the construction of the second batch of cement kilns and actively expanding the scale of production, so that cement can be produced in large quantities.
The branch personnel who went to Luoyang and Youzhou to survey have been off for half a month, and news has been sent back from Luoyang, the specific construction area of the Luoyang branch has been basically determined, and the Luoyang branch can start construction only by waiting for the arrival of personnel and materials.
The main function of the Luoyang branch and the Youzhou branch is also to make cement, which is similar to the Ziwuling branch.
The main thing for these branches at this time was to manufacture cement in large quantities, which was used to build a road from Chang'an through Luoyang and then to the border of Youzhou.
It can be seen that Wu Meiniang listed the threat from the north as the first thing to deal with in Datang at this time, and even to the point of sparing national strength for this reason.
However, on July 10, a letter of state from the Northern Han Dynasty made Wu Meiniang a little unsure of what to do.
The letter of state was written by the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty and sent to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty in an expedited manner.
Written by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty himself, this is enough to prove the importance of this letter of state, generally speaking, no matter how important the will will will not be written by the emperor himself, there are generally special officials or eunuchs to write.
The national letter from the handwritten letter of the Han Emperor mainly states three things, the first is that the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty have reconciled and will always be brothers and neighbors.
Open the borders and strengthen trade between the two countries, especially in the northeast region, the national letter specifically stated that it is willing to open all the Dahan towns along the Great Wall in the northeast to Datang, and Datang merchants can do business here freely, and if they wish, they can also buy land here for settlement, and allow Datang to set up special institutions for commercial management in the main Han towns along the Great Wall in the northeast.
The second thing is to be close, the Han Emperor wants to marry his own sister Princess Jingnan to the Tang Dynasty. In this era, harmony is an important means used by the two countries to show friendship, and it can be said that the relationship between in-laws is the means that can best reflect the friendship between the two countries in this era.
However, the horse chosen for Princess Jingnan in the national book is the concubine of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Meiniang knows what is going on, Chen Fang told her about this, but the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty don't know.
When the eunuch remembered that the Duke of Jingnan of the Northern Han Dynasty was going to marry the Tang Dynasty, there was a sound of scolding in the court, but fortunately, Wu Meiniang knew the cause and effect of this incident and suppressed the scolding in the court.
The third thing is that the Han Emperor wants to personally bring the queen to the Tang Dynasty.
Come to worship the ancestors, after all, the imperial tombs of the Han Dynasty are all on the Beimang Plateau at this time, in Xianyang.
Second, I wanted to discuss the friendship between the two countries with the Tang Emperor in person, and the two Han emperors discussed the friendship between the two countries face-to-face, which was really rare in ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and the safety was not guaranteed.
Third, I want to see my homeland and go around, which is really human nature, in this era, pay attention to the feelings of my homeland, and leave my hometown is to leave my hometown.
When the national letter of the Northern Han Dynasty arrived in the Tang Dynasty, the court was scolding for a long time, noisy for a long time, and arguing for a long time.
Wu Meiniang presided over the government for not a day or two, nor a year or two, but today's early dynasty was the longest she presided over.
There were endless arguments in the court, and in the end, no arguments came to any conclusions.
Wu Meiniang waved her hand, and the courtiers had to retreat from the court and return to the Tang Workshop, where Wu Meiniang still held the national letter written by the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty himself.
When he arrived at his yard, he asked Xiaolan to call Chen Fang.
Morning is usually the morning and rest time of the mother, Chen Fang basically will not come at this time, today to see Xiaolan come to him, it is a little strange, went to Wu Meiniang's courtyard, just entered the house and saw Wu Meiniang put a beautifully framed letter on the table.
"See for yourself!"
Chen Fang saw that Wu Meiniang was a little angry, and he didn't know why, so he took the letter on the table, opened it, and found that it was actually a national letter written by the Han Emperor.
It is rare for an emperor to write a letter of state.
When I read the content, I looked at Wu Meiniang again at this time, and I understood where her anger came from.
"Say, what should I do?"
"Niangniang, what do you mean?"
"Don't pretend to be confused for me, that princess Jingnan, what are you going to do?"
Chen Fang looked at Wu Meiniang, pinched the Northern Han Dynasty book in his hand, and for a while, he didn't know what to do with it.
"Speak from the heart!"
Wu Meiniang mentioned it there, and looked at Chen Fang quietly.
"Niangniang, I owe Yi'er, Chen Fang implored Niangniang to allow the Northern Han Dynasty to make peace."
"You don't hide it at all, and you don't say a few words about the scene that focuses on state affairs."
"Here in Niangniang, there is no need to hide it. The mother has a discerning eye, and she has already seen everything through. ”
"Don't pat yourself on the back, what do you think the Han Emperor means?"
