Chapter 220: Tai Chi

Li Ke was about to rush to train the recruits when he saw Li Zheng's strange movements.

Looking curious, Li Ke asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Don't you see me doing boxing?" Li Zheng is still playing tai chi.

Li Ke looked at it and asked, "There is such a soft fist?" ”

"It's called Tai Chi, it's not so authentic, but it's better than nothing." Li Zheng was still punching slowly.

Looking at Li Zheng's movements, there seemed to be a sense of borrowing force between pushing and leading.

Li Ke understood a little, "Your boxing technique seems to have some doorways." ”

"Yes, practicing this boxing technique can not only practice moves, but also strengthen the body and prolong life." Li Zheng said while practicing.

"A fist technique to prolong life?" Li Ke asked curiously: "There is also this kind of boxing method?" ”

"That has to be." Li Zheng said while practicing boxing: "Don't look at this boxing method slowly, there is a reason for slowness." ”

Li Ke practiced while following Li Zheng's movements.

Li Zheng continued: "Taijiquan's emphasis on static braking can exercise people's minds and calm people's minds. ”

While practicing, Li Ke yawned and was sleepy.

After dancing a few more punches with Li Zheng, he left to train the recruits.

Li Zheng still practiced Tai Chi one move at a time, and only stopped his movements after more than half an hour.

Then I walked to the horse circle to see how the kang was built.

The stove outside the wall is almost finished, and the stone bed and chimney are already being erected.

In November of the fourth year of Zhenguan, a letter of state was sent to Chang'an.

Li Shimin's mood was not very good when he received this letter of state.

Tuyuhun died, and Tuyuhun, who had held out for three months, could no longer hold on to Tubo's offensive.

The king of Tuyuhun fled to the west, and the Tibetans annexed all of Tuyuhun's territory, and now confronts the Tang army in the Gobi Desert, a few miles away in the Hexi Corridor.

This also means that there is no buffer zone between Datang and Tubo.

Fortunately, now that the Tang Dynasty has taken Qinghai, Li Shimin sat in the Taiji Hall and asked the courtiers in the palace, "Now the king of Tuyuhun has come to the country to write a letter to the country, hoping that the Tang Dynasty will save him and regain the territory of Tuyuhun." ”

"Your Majesty!" Qin Qiong took a step forward and said: "The minister thought that he should prepare early, and there would inevitably be a battle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. ”

Cheng Yanjin also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 3,000 troops to capture Songtsen Gampo alive." ”

There are also civil officials who have proposed that peace can be negotiated at this time.

Li Shimin listened to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty with a headache.

Tuyuhun held on for three months and still couldn't hold it.

In fact, Tuyuhun's territory is very small, which is the size of a state capital in the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, it was indeed a rare buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

Some sighed and were not angry.

The ministers couldn't make a decision, so Li Shimin had no choice but to let the ministers retreat first.

A few days later, another letter of state was sent to Datang.

Songtsen Gampo hopes that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo can be friends forever.

I also hope to be able to return to the territory of Qinghai.

After receiving this reply, Li Shimin's face was ugly, "Come on!" Go and get Lu Dongzan back for me! ”

Du Ruhui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is inappropriate to capture Lu Dongzan again at this time. ”

Li Shimin was so angry that his forehead was bruised, and he had to take back the Qinghai territory that he had finally obtained.

Lu Dongzan was guilty in the Tang Dynasty, as long as Lu Dongzan's contract before the first day in Tubo was still valid, Qinghai was still justified under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zheng, Cheng Chumo, and Li Tai were eating hot pot.

There are still some green vegetables in the hot pot, and now the green vegetables in the greenhouse are still small, but they can be eaten.

It is very tender and comfortable to eat, Li Tai took a bite of green vegetables to relieve his greasyness, and exhaled comfortably, "It is really rare to be able to eat a mouthful of food in such a cold weather." ”

The wind carried the snowflakes into the house, and the three of them realized that it was snowing outside.

Cheng Chumo held the bowl and ate the meat, looked out the window and said, "The snow comes so early in this weather." ”

Li Zheng said melancholy: "This year's winter will be very long, and it will be cold for a long time. ”

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng and asked, "How do you know." ”

"Because this year, the cold air will sweep the entire inland of Guanzhong, and the cold high pressure is centered in the Turkic steppe, which is very large and wide, and many people will freeze to death at this time, which is also related to the climate at sea, which is very complicated."

Li Zheng continued: "The clouds of cold and high pressure are very large, and the climate in South Asia will have corresponding anomalies, and some people say that this phenomenon is La Niña. ”

After listening to Li Zheng, Li Tai stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth in confusion.

Cheng Chumo looked sluggish.

After being quiet for a long time, Li Tai turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo, "Do you understand?" ”

Cheng Chumo shook his head vigorously, "I didn't understand." ”

Li Zheng said it right at all, Li Tai didn't understand what cold and high pressure was and what South Asia was.

Li Tai smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect you to be so researched about the weather." ”

"I know a little bit and I understand it all, I read it all in books." Li Zheng took a sip of hot soup to warm up his body, and happened to see several very abnormal climate phenomena in Datang on a climate history allusion.

Especially in the Zhenguan Dynasty, there will be a lot of abnormal weather.

Li Zheng scooped up the slices of meat in the hot pot and said, "Let your father prepare early, this year's harsh winter is very long." ”

When Li Tai returned to Chang'an, he asked some old pedants.

This year, the snow will come and go early, and this year's winter should be a relatively warm year.

And there is not a lot of snow in Chang'an.

These old scholars seemed to be right, and Li Tai thought in his heart and asked, "Will this year be a very long and harsh winter?" ”

A group of old pedants laughed and said, "The weather will soon be warm again." ”

Li Zheng's words still made Li Tai's heart go up and down, will there really be heavy snow this year as Li Zheng said.

Just in case, Li Tai still told his father about this matter, and it was not wrong to take precautions early.

The snow didn't stop until it fell overnight, and Li Zheng got up early to continue practicing Tai Chi.

Li Shimin came all the way to Jingyang, and it was a novelty to see that Li Zheng was practicing every move and style.

"What are you doing?"

Li Zheng still said with Tai Chi: "I am practicing a kind of boxing method to strengthen the body, which is called Tai Chi by the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Tai Chi? Who is so rampant that he dares to use this name to do boxing. ”

"It's a Taoist priest named Zhang Sanfeng." Li Zheng's movements still didn't stop.

"Is this a powerful punch?"

Li Zheng threw a punch slowly, and a gust of cold wind blew through and people couldn't help but shiver.

"Your Majesty, I just felt it, it may be an internal force underneath."

Seeing Li Shimin looking at him with a suspicious expression, Li Zheng changed his tone and said: "Your Majesty, you might as well practice with you, it is beneficial to the body and mind and is said to have the effect of prolonging life." ”

Li Shimin glanced around, learned Li Zheng's technique and began to box.

Li Zheng made another move and said, "Your Majesty, do you feel a fever all over your body now?" ”
