Li Zhan hurriedly helped Ma Zhou, who was about to kowtow to himself, you know, Li Zhan didn't dare to let Ma Zhou kowtow to himself.

At this time, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, okay Ma Zhou, don't kowtow to him, this is what he should do!" After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan kindly and said, "How about can you give a quasi-letter, how long will it take, we can see the bamboo paper you said." ”

Li Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I'm already doing it next year at the latest, but it will take a little time." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, you must make bamboo paper." ”

Li Zhan nodded with a smile, and then said 'um', the scene of father and son filial piety made the ministers below suspicious, and when Li Shimin waved his hand and let these ministers leave.

As soon as he came out of the Manna Palace, Fang Xuanling looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "This Li Zhan doesn't seem to be your illegitimate son!" ”

"Poof!" The eldest grandson Wuji said absurdly: "Fang Xiang, what are you talking about, how can Li Zhan be my illegitimate son." ”

"And whose is he?" Wei Zheng turned around and looked at Eldest Sun Wuji and asked.

"Well, how do I know?" The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head.

"You don't know, you go and ask Ma Zhouxiang if you believe it!" Fang Xuanling smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not!" Ma Zhou said slightly: "The key is Your Majesty's meaning, and today's Your Majesty's meaning is already very clear!" ”

"yes, I think we're going to have to do some preparations." Fang Xuanling looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji here smiled and said: "Don't look at me, I don't know anything, I only know, the imperial examination is about to start, I have to go and get busy first." After speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji left with a grin.

"Old slippery head!"

Just after the eldest grandson Wuji walked away, Fang Xuanling scolded with a smile.

"You say, will it be changed?" Suddenly, Wei Zheng came with such a sentence without a head.

However, Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou left as if they hadn't heard anything, making Wei Zheng a little speechless.

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan with a smile and said, "Zhan'er bamboo paper is Bai Yujing's technique, right?" ”

Looking at Li Shimin, Li Zhan said with a smile: "Yes, Bai Yujing is actually ahead of our Datang for a while, but Erchen believes that our Datang will get better and better." ”

"I also believe and I hope that you can bring Bai Yujing's good skills to our Tang Dynasty, just like this bamboo paper technology, Zhan'er, you don't know how uncomfortable it is for your father and me to be pressed in this court.

I am all pressed uncomfortably, if it is the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then what should I do.

Therefore, what the royal family has to do is to no longer let the aristocratic forces say anything, and we must use the cold gate to resist.

I promoted Ma Zhou, but there were too few Ma Zhou, so I enabled the imperial examination, but the imperial examination also has drawbacks, that is, there are no books to read and no studies to go to the poor family. ”

"Obey the Holy Order!" Li Zhan bowed without excuse.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan with a gentle face, and just when the father and son were smiling similarly, suddenly, Li Zhan shouted: "Oh, father, I almost forgot about my coming here." ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan and said with a smile: "Yes, why did you take the initiative to enter the palace today?" ”

"That's right!" followed Li Zhan and told him about the fact that he was surrounded by Changsun Chong and others this morning to ask for Tang Gang's weapons and armor.

Li Shimin laughed when he heard it.

When Li Zhan complained about why these people were so persistent, Li Shimin smiled and said to Li Zhan: "Zhan'er, you are not a martial artist, in fact, this martial artist, his love for good weapons, is undoubtedly like seeing a beauty."

So, you have to understand these behaviors of theirs, but what you just said is that the suggestion that let them pass the selection and use Tang Steel's weapons and armor is not bad, didn't I say that you want to build a tiger army.

It just so happens that you need a group of low-level officers, I asked the sixteen guards, each of whom allocated a hundred people, you go to train these thousand six hundred people, and see how many can be left, and these people who stay will be the low-level officers of your Tiger Ben Army in the future. ”

Li Zhan thought about it and made sense, but Li Zhan smiled at this time: "Father, I will go through the motions when I train, let Cheng Chumo help me train, and I will often give Cheng Chumo ideas."

I have a lot of things, such as business, Zhushan! ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "That's right, you have to pay attention to the Tiger Benjun." ”

Li Zhan nodded and said, "Erchen knew that there was a minister, so he retired first!" ”

Li Shimin said 'um', and just like that, Li Zhan left the palace.

The next day, Li Shimin issued a holy decree that the sixteen guards of Chang'an should each send 100 soldiers to a place called Chang Jingzhuang thirty miles from Chang'an to gather for training.

The deputy general is Cheng Chumo, and the main general does not say.

Of course, Changsun Chong and the others all knew who the main general was, but what Changsun Chong and Wei Chi Baolin didn't know was that these people thought that this training was for the Tang Gang they needed.

But in fact, this training camp was to lay the foundation for Li Zhan's Tiger Army, and Changsun Chong, Wei Chi Baolin and others desperately sent out the best soldiers in their guards, the purpose was to obtain the right to use Tangsteel, but they didn't know it yet, they lost their wives and soldiers.

After another two days, the Turks, Tuyuhun, Jianya, Bi Daci, Helu, Chuanyue, Unahao, Bola, Tocharo, Ku Jianjian, Ku Lun, Haduo, Pei Khan, Qiuzi, Shule, Khotan, Anguo, Cao, He, Mu, Bi, Yimi, Afanyan, Jiazhi, Khitan and other countries arrived in Chang'an one after another.

Li Chengqian, this guy is busy hitting the back of his head, and he is busy receiving him every day.

What makes Li Zhan a little relieved is that Li Shimin did not engage in a face-saving project, although all countries came to worship, but what Chang'an was before is what it is now, unlike Emperor Yang of Sui, who was luxurious for his own face.

When all countries came to the court, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sang Chen Baiju, and spent a huge amount of money. The chiefs asked for trade, so Emperor Yang renovated the markets in the eastern capital, and even the vegetable sellers had to carpet their shops. Merchants from all over the world passing by the hotel will be invited to a free banquet, and they will be deceived and say: "I am a big country in the Central Plains and rich, and the common people do not need money to eat at the hotel." ”

The trees by the roadside were also wrapped in silk, and when a Hu man saw it, he asked, "Why don't you take these silks wrapped around the trees and make clothes for them?" ”

It's really ironic.

However, in those countries that came to Datang, in order to show the strength of Datang, Li Chengqian's first step was to bring these people to his Dunhua Fang, with straight cement roads and rows of beautiful candle street lamps.

There is also a small cement building, located on the bank of the Yangliu River, really, those foreigners are stunned.
