After Ang Lee returns to the Tang Dynasty, what kind of new gadgets will be invented, many people are very curious, and for this reason, they even began to discuss and speculate.

There are also people who will put forward a lot of very crazy hypotheses according to their own needs, and these too bizarre assumptions are naturally not accepted by ordinary people and are considered crazy ideas.

For example, some people will say that since Ang Lee can invent a machine that flies into the blue sky, then it is completely possible to transform the machine a little more powerfully, and fly higher than the moon and stars, so that the stars and moon in the sky can be plucked.

Some people will assume that Ang Lee can invent a pair of wings, and after people wear these wings, they can fly in the air like birds.

Some people feel that the flying pigeon is too slow to pass the book, and think that Li An can invent a machine that transmits news faster, so that the decrees of the imperial court can be conveyed faster, and if there is an emergency military situation at the border, it can also be transmitted back to the imperial court as quickly as possible.

In short, almost everyone is thinking about what shocking and advanced products Ang Lee will come up with, and they are very much looking forward to the emergence of these products.

Of course, among all the expectations, the most people look forward to longevity products, especially the children of the nobility, who hope that they can be young forever, because they have too many things and can enjoy endless luxury life, and these luxury lives will become meaningless as they grow old, once people are old, their physical strength and energy will be much less than before, and they will not have the body to enjoy the beautiful pleasures of the world.

In particular, the fear of death is a matter that all nobles keep secret, and ordinary people also hope that they can live a long life as long as they live a comfortable life.

It's just that ordinary people don't have too many resources, and they don't believe that they can really live a long life, so they rarely pursue immortality, and the rich children of the nobility are different, they have too many resources, and once they lose their lives, these resources will no longer exist, so they are very afraid of aging and death, and are very eager for health and longevity.

From the emperors of all dynasties and generations seeking immortality, we can see their strong desire to live, when they are young, they may not have any feelings for immortality, but once people are old, they will be very eager for immortality, eager to be young and healthy forever, and enjoy the happiness of the world forever.

In this way, what people desire most must be to hope that Ang Lee can make something that greatly extends people's lifespan, so that they can enjoy glory and wealth forever.

For some ideas, Ang Lee will help them realize them, but there are also some that Ang Lee is destined to not complete, such as immortality is a career that Ang Lee is never capable of accomplishing.

But there is still not much pressure to engage in some healthy food, and as long as people pay attention to health, the life expectancy will naturally increase, and even increase not a little bit, and there is no pressure to extend the life span of ten years.

As for picking stars and moons in the sky, it is completely impossible, and these people probably don't know that the stars in the sky are very huge celestial bodies, and the moon is even bigger than they can imagine.

"Hanlu, what has changed in the court in the past year or so?"

Li An opened his mouth and asked, although he had his own channels, but because he had been busy opening up the Maritime Silk Road, he had not used his strength to manage the affairs of the imperial court, so Li An was not very clear about the specific situation in the imperial court.

"Husband, there is no big situation in the court, the only thing worth saying is that the right minister is old, and Yang Zhao changed his name to Yang Guozhong, and he is even more favored by His Majesty, in the days when the husband is not there, he is the most favored of all the ministers, and the officials who go to the mansion every day to visit and give gifts are about to step on the threshold."

Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said.

Li An smiled and said: "This is normal, this guy is completely stained with the light of the concubine, if there is no relationship with the concubine, Yang Guozhong will definitely not get such love from His Majesty, no matter what, it is an annoying thing to deal with the government, and there is nothing wrong with letting him deal with it." ”

"Husband, but this Yang Guozhong specializes in promoting cronies and suppressing dissidents, if this continues, the court will not be able to select the best talents, and in the end they will all become Yang Guozhong's people, won't Your Majesty be set aside."

Li Hanlu used to be the leader of the Xi clan, and she naturally understands some political things, she is still a little worried about the imperial court, after all, once there is turmoil in the imperial court, the people of the world will suffer, and she naturally does not want to see the people of the world suffer, she is a kind person.

Li An smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Your Majesty is not a fool, how could he hand over all the power to Yang Guozhong, a kid?" What he was given was all worrying work, and none of the military power of the imperial court was on Yang Guozhong! ”

After a pause, Li An asked with concern: "By the way, how is Your Majesty's body?" ”

Li Hanlu said: "Your Majesty's health has always been very good, and I haven't heard of any news that Your Majesty is in poor health, and in the past year or so, Your Majesty has only been to Luoyang City three times, and Huaqing Palace has gone back once or twice a month, which is not enough to show that Your Majesty's health is very good." ”

Li An nodded and said: "Very good, Your Majesty's body is fine, this is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, as long as Your Majesty is okay, coupled with the full assistance of her husband, there will be no problem in the Tang Dynasty." ”

In Ang Lee's impression, many of the turmoil in every dynasty occurred in the process of power transfer, because once there is an accident in the process of power transfer, it may cause great chaos.

The prerequisite for the emergence of a prosperous era is that an emperor can reign long enough, if an empire frequently changes emperors, then it is difficult to stabilize the government, and only the longevity of the emperor can solve many problems of the country.

Li Longji has been in power for thirty or fifty years, which is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's strength, and many prosperous times in later generations occurred when the emperor reigned for a long time.

For example, there is a man named Kangqian Shengshi, in which Kangxi and Qianlong have reigned for 60 years, and it is difficult for the country to be strong or not.

Among them, Kangxi reigned for sixty-one years, and Qianlong's reign could have been longer, in order not to exceed his grandfather, so he deliberately retired more than three years early, but even if he retired, many powers of the country were still in his hands, and if it was calculated according to the actual exercise of the country's supreme power, Qianlong's reign should be sixty-three years and four months.

That is to say, in the entire Qing Dynasty, a total of 276 years of national ancestry, these grandfathers and grandsons accounted for nearly half of the time, so that the Kangqian era was laid, and the remaining emperors were too short in power, and caught up with the era of rapid development in the West, thus creating a huge decline.

However, a person has been in power for too long, sometimes it may not be a good thing, because people's energy is limited after all, when they are young, when dealing with various things, they may not feel much pressure, but when they are very old, their energy will become weak, and people will become confused, and even, in order to save their own energy, and hand over the major affairs of the state to the trusted ministers to deal with, in this way, it will naturally cause some problems in the government, in case the emperor does not control well, the next minister may be in chaos.

For example, the current Li Longji is an example, when he was young, he has always been very powerful, but when he gets old, he makes mistakes, if Li An didn't come out to help him, it is estimated that An Fat would have rebelled a long time ago, and the Tang Dynasty would have been in turmoil.

Now, the threat of An Fatzi has been completely swept away, and the Longwu Army in the capital is equipped with advanced ironclad artillery vehicles, which is enough to deter the border army generals and make them dare not take risks.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty can still maintain a strong strength, and Li An's efforts are inseparable, if there is no Li An's efforts to maintain, the Tang Dynasty is now estimated to begin to decline, and with the development of industrialization, the Tang Dynasty not only did not go downhill, but also continued to go uphill, and even has become a heavenly kingdom worshiped by all nations.

Li Linfu's health is already a little bad, but there is still no big problem in handling government affairs, and there is Yang Guozhong to help him share most of the burden, so his pressure is even less, although he doesn't want anyone to help him share, but this is the emperor's meaning, in addition, he is really old and decrepit, and someone must share it with him.

Although, the evaluation of these two people in history is not very good, and they feel that both of them are traitors, and it is because of them that the final decline of the Tang Dynasty court has been caused, but Li An doesn't think so, they just share their worries for the emperor, and occasionally forming a party for personal gain is also for their own interests, which is not too bad, and if you want to stabilize your position, you must work hard to expand your power, otherwise, once you are bitten by someone, it will be over, and even your children and grandchildren will be implicated.

There is a good saying, there is no runner-up in the political struggle, what is said is the cruelty of the court struggle, once a minister has achieved a high position, if he cannot stabilize his position, then it is very likely to be pulled off the horse, and even when he is framed for no reason, no one will speak for him, which will not only cause the tragedy of death, but also may affect his children and grandchildren.

After all, being an official is to deal with government affairs, and dealing with all kinds of government affairs will inevitably offend people, especially many officials who are very eager to climb up, in the process of climbing, they will inevitably offend many people, and they will also be opposed by many people. The only external conditions that can protect oneself do not exist, and oneself may face great dangers.

And in order not to put themselves in danger, the senior officials who have climbed to a high position will try to cultivate cronies, and those who are close to themselves will be promoted and reused, and those who oppose and hate themselves, or are not single-minded with themselves, then they must be severely suppressed, so that many ministers of the imperial court are on their side, and their positions can be consolidated and their security greatly improved.

Therefore, in the final analysis, many high-ranking officials appoint cronies and exclude dissidents, in order to protect themselves, to safeguard their own vested interests, and to prevent their own interests from being snatched away by others.

Ang Lee is naturally very insightful about how to deal with government affairs, and he must be handy in dealing with it, but Ang Lee doesn't like to deal with government affairs very much, because of his ability, Ang Lee is not too prominent, many officials in Datang can replace Ang Lee, but in research and development, Ang Lee is the only talent, and no minister can replace Ang Lee, so the most important thing Ang Lee should do is to focus mainly or all of his energy on scientific research and development.

The speed of the train was not covered, and a few days later, Li An arrived in Luoyang, and after a short stop in Luoyang, after another day, Li An arrived in Chang'an City.

However, the time when Li An arrived in Chang'an City was very bad, it was about ten o'clock in the evening, and at this time, the officials of the imperial court were estimated to have fallen asleep, even if they didn't sleep, it is estimated that they were already ready to rest, so there would be no one to greet Li An, and Li An didn't care about this, he could let the train leave in the morning, in order to arrive in Chang'an City in the middle of the night when there were few people, so that they could come back quietly, and they didn't have to deal with the scene of the welcome ceremony.

At this time, Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty has become a real city that never sleeps, and at night, many places are extremely lively, people of all nationalities and colors are mixed together to have fun, and many foreigners who come to Datang for the first time are a little happy.

Many people who do business will choose to transport goods in and out of the city gate at night, especially when the volume of goods is relatively large, and they will choose to transport at night, so as not to affect pedestrians during the day, after all, even if the curfew is lifted, there are still many fewer people at night than during the day.

And some of the larger smell of transportation, will also choose to enter and exit the city gate at night when there are fewer people, such as transporting the feces of Gongfang, naturally can not choose in the daytime, must choose to transport at night.

Li An has real estate inside and outside Chang'an City, but the real estate in the city seems a little cramped, so Li An and his family basically live in villas outside the city, so after Li An returns to the capital, he naturally wants to go straight to the villas outside the city.

The first thing to do when he returned to the capital was to go to see the emperor, so that it was in line with the etiquette, but Li An returned too late, and the emperor had already rested, so Li An could naturally go home to see his wife with peace of mind.
