Chapter 18 What Do You Think of Your Majesty Today?
Fang Xuanling looked at the neatly arranged waterwheels, which continuously introduced water into the ditch with the flow of water, saving a lot of manpower.
"This waterwheel is cleverly designed and should be promoted." Fang Xuanling affirmed in his heart.
Li Shimin will not fail to see the mystery of these waterwheels, with these waterwheels constantly irrigating the wasteland, these wastelands may really be able to grow food, and there are already a few seedlings in the wasteland, but they are so small that they can't see what kind of crops they are.
Looking at these waterwheels, Li Shimin had a faint feeling in his heart.
Growing food is all about adapting measures to local conditions, using wasteland to farm, not wanting to starve to death, a feeling of not accepting fate, believing that man will win the day.
Many people say that Li Zheng is a fool who uses wasteland as fertile land, and prefers farming instead of being an official.
Cracked the battle situation in Yinshan and solved the nine chapters of mathematics.
can also cure diseases, and can answer Kong Yingda's questions.
Are the poems made by Li Lizhen really made by herself?
Li Shimin suspected that it was Li Zheng from the beginning, but he didn't say it.
They think Li Zheng is a fool, but in his own opinion, he is not only not stupid, but also a strange person.
If he wants to play stupid, for what?
Why let everyone think he's a fool.
The whole Jingyang County is in good order, and at a glance it looks like everyone has something to do, unlike other villages where there are always some ruffians standing at the entrance of the village and staring at the pedestrians.
The people here are very busy, and if you look closely, they seem to be very fulfilling.
There are also small children playing around the village, and dogs barking on the side of the road.
It's not that Li Shimin hasn't been to Jingyang, which was a very poor place a few years ago.
Looking at the roads in this village, they are very smooth, not like they are paved with simple mud, and your fingers touch the flat ground.
Li Shimin came to a conclusion that he did not dare to think of, these mud-paved roads were very strong, probably stronger than the walls of Chang'an City.
Fang Xuanling also noticed it, picked up the stone and smashed it to the ground, without the slightest damage.
"The mud is not the key, maybe it's the stones in the ground that make the ground so strong." Fang Xuanling said.
Li Junxian came to report and said, "Your Majesty, I have found Li Zheng." ”
Li Shimin followed Li Junxian to the other side of Jingyang, and saw a teenager fishing by the river from a distance.
Seeing this young man concentrating on fishing, Li Shimin slowed down, and then looked at the pastries he was eating, wasn't this a pastry that only existed in the palace?
Presumably it was Lizhi who sneaked out of the palace again.
"Li Zheng." Li Shimin stood behind him and called.
Li Zheng lazily glanced back at the visitor, "What's the matter?" ”
"The old man heard that your talent is famous, and he came to see you."
Seeing this guy smiling, Li Zheng sneered, "Do you know the zoo? ”
Li Shimin was puzzled: "What zoo?" ”
"This zoo has some very rare animals, and people have to pay for those rare animals."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Fang Xuanling understood Li Zheng's analogy and kept coughing.
Li Shimin was not surprised, came to him and sat on the stone next to him and asked, "It is said that His Majesty has repeatedly asked you to be an official, but you have refused?" ”
"I'm very busy, and I usually have to pay for other people's inquiries to me, and I always pay for half an hour, and today's princess is no exception." Li Zheng spoke.
Li Junxian can't listen to this, are you very busy? You are obviously idle enough to fish here, and you have always made money for half an hour, and this kid even has the face to mention the princess.
If Fang Xuanling hadn't stopped him, Li Junxian would have almost pulled out a knife and chopped Li Zheng.
Li Shimin was not polite, and immediately took out a piece of silver cake, "But I want to listen to your true words." ”
Li Zhengzheng accepted the silver cake without a red heartbeat, "I don't want to be an official because I am still young, and being an official is too risky, the court is a Longtan tiger's den, I have no background and no backer." ”
Treating the court as a tiger's den in Longtan, Li Shimin is not strange, ordinary people worship the court because they don't know how many battles there are under the court, Li Shimin has seen a lot, and Li Zheng is not wrong.
"Let me ask you again, what do you think of Your Majesty today?"
"Your Majesty." Li Zheng sighed.
"Why sigh?" Li Shimin asked again.
"His Majesty is a very difficult person today, he has too many things to take into account, he wants to do his best in everything, but the former ministers of the previous dynasty have too many prejudices about him, he wants others to recognize him, some things that are intolerable in the eyes of others, and he is just forced by the situation."
Although this kid didn't explicitly say that it was the change of Xuanwu Gate, the words "Heavenly Reason" was already obvious.
Li Jun was envious, almost pulled out his knife, and was pressed down by Fang Xuanling.
"You know what, this old man? In fact, I admire His Majesty today, he has courage, dares to make decisions, can think deeply, has very sharp judgment, has power and power, this kind of person wants to rebel, he is not the emperor who will be the emperor. ”
"That's it, ...... after that"
Speaking of which, Li Zheng stopped, and what happened after that hasn't happened yet.
Li Shimin listened to his words, his expression was very excited, why had he never seen a young man, but he seemed to know himself very well.
The matter of Xuanwumen has always been a nightmare in my heart, and I have regretted it, but there is no regret medicine in the world, since I have done it, there is no turning back.
If you don't make a move, how can you ensure that others are not thinking about getting rid of you?
They are all blaming me, and who knows what I am doing.
How many people understand their helplessness, and how many people can see that they have worked so hard.
But Li Zheng was right, he succeeded.
Li Shimin's eyes are hot, who else is me?! What is there to regret.
"And after that? Why didn't you say it? ”
Li Zheng sighed, "I don't want to say more about some things, I will lose my head if I talk too much." ”
Li Shimin smiled dumbly, and asked again: "What do you think of today?" ”
"No, no." Li Zheng shook his head.
I just felt that this Li Zheng understood himself very well.
Isn't that a drop? Hearing these three words is like a basin of cold water poured on your head.
"Is there anything wrong with peace in this world?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.
"Look at the strong enemies around the Tang Dynasty, the ambition of the Tugu Hun wolf, the Tubo is waiting for an opportunity to move, although the Turks are defeated and recuperate for a few years, they will make a comeback." Li Zheng rolled up his trouser leg and said to him: "There are also those five surnames and seven sects, none of them are good things. ”
"Wait?" Li Shimin interrupted him and asked: "You said that Tugu Hun wolf is ambitious, and Tubo is waiting for an opportunity to move, is there really such a thing?" ”
"I'm kidding." Li Zheng grinned.
Li Shimin hurriedly stood up and suddenly realized that his defense in Tuyuhun had been very lax, and if Tuyuhun was really ambitious, there would be a big disaster in the northwest frontier.
Seeing that the other party was in a hurry to leave, this guy was quite generous, and Li Zheng said to him again: "Recently, there may be a heavy rain in Chang'an for half a month, be careful of water at home." ”
Li Shimin's footsteps stopped slightly, and he didn't look back and continued to speed up his pace towards Chang'an.
