Chapter 57: The City Is There, I'm There
Before writing the text, some readers pointed out that there was a mistake in the text, Su Erniu was written as Tang Erniu, and all of them have been revised. Some other typos have also been corrected, so please forgive me.
Body.
In ancient times, there was already yogurt, called cheese. However, most of them are made from goat's milk. Milk has always been a luxury that can only be enjoyed by wealthy aristocrats, so cheese has not been popularized.
Su Qinghan is a lady like Su Qinghan, who is no stranger to milk, and it is the first time she has seen sorbet.
She had seen in the book that saltpeter could be used to make ice, but she didn't know the specific process, and when she saw Tang Wenyuan freeze the original fluid milk into a merger, she suddenly realized.
Bent down and salute, took the ice cube handed over by Tang Wenyuan, raised his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, and took a bite gently.
Smile without showing teeth, don't swing skirt, although Su Qinghan has eaten very carefully, but in front of the emperor, it is better to cover up the following, so as not to appear indecent.
The cold and delicious sorbet is sliced in the mouth, giving it a silky smooth and smooth feel.
Tang Wenyuan added boiled rock sugar water to the yogurt to make the sorbet more sweet and sour.
Naturally, they can taste the puppies, and the brocade guard is still the old rule. A new training plan has been formulated, and those who can stick to it according to Tang Wenyuan's requirements will be rewarded with sorbet.
Song Wushuang ran over, picked up the ice cream and took a big bite of it, not caring about the image of a lady at all.
After eating a few bites, he picked up another piece, and before leaving, he didn't forget to snort lightly and glared at Tang Wenyuan, "Don't think that I will make something delicious, I will be willing to marry you, daydreaming!" β
Tang Wenyuan smiled helplessly, this little girl is really stubborn.
"Miss Su, how does it taste?" Tang Wenyuan asked.
Su Qinghan nodded, and made a good gesture, she was still worried about whether Tang Wenyuan could understand.
Without Bi Ning beside him, Su Qinghan basically rarely communicated with people.
"Dog, get pen and ink." Tang Wenyuan is also very considerate of Su Qinghan, since he can't speak, let's communicate in words.
Su Qinghan felt as if he had seen Tang Wenyuan somewhere, and this feeling was not the same feeling as the last time he met in the palace. Tang Tiezhu? The body shape is quite similar, and the voice is a little similar, but the appearance is very different.
Tang Wenyuan pretended to be Tang Tiezhu and used a systematic human skin mask, and after wearing it, he was no different from a normal person, and ordinary people couldn't see it.
And Su Qinghan is erudite and talented, knowing that the disguise technique in this world, no matter how ingenious it is, it is difficult to hide it, so he will not regard Tang Wenyuan as Tang Tiezhu.
"Long live my emperor, I can't dictate, I hope the emperor will forgive my sins." Su Qinghan wrote these words on the paper, and Juanxiu's font was neat and elegant.
Tang Wenyuan also replied to her on paper, but changed the font, last time I used regular script in Yihong Courtyard, this time I will write a book.
"It's okay, it's my negligence, I should call Bi Ning to accompany me."
"Your Majesty is magnanimous, and the concubine is grateful to Dade ......"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
It's a strange feeling for two people to communicate face-to-face in a written way. Because what is written is often not the same as what is directly spoken.
First, there was a short greeting from the parents, and Su Qinghan asked the main question.
"Why did Your Majesty reject the King of Shu?" Su Qinghan dared to ask such a question only with the permission of Prime Minister Zuo, otherwise a woman would not be able to interfere in the government affairs, and she would not even be allowed to ask.
"It's not normal if you don't refuse, you're my lady, they dare to rob it? I think this King of Shu is not lightly ill. β
The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.
Su Qinghan frowned slightly, although she was quite moved in her heart, but if Tang Wenyuan really rejected the King of Shu because of this, it did seem a little naΓ―ve.
"The strength of the country is weak, the army is scattered and the power is weak. There is trouble inside, and there is a strong enemy outside. If there is no internal turmoil, there will be no external invasion, and internal turmoil will invade externally. The concubine married into Xichuan can be exchanged for peace. Why not? β
Tang Wenyuan shook his head, "How is this different from harmony?" The peace in exchange is just a temporary peace, today the king of Shu dares to rob my wife, tomorrow he will dare to rob me of the throne. If you want eternal peace, you need to level Xichuan, collect the northern region, set the southern barbarians, Kedong Wa, and dominate the world. β
In just a few words, it shows Tang Wenyuan's ambition.
Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, but the question is who doesn't know how to talk on paper? Since the establishment of the Wen Dynasty, it has been fighting with the Northern Regions, fighting for decades, but it has not been able to subdue the Northern Regions, and the Northern Regions have instead raised a Tianchi State.
Not to mention the Nanban, the material is abundant, the people are fierce, not to mention the east, the rivers are dense, the water industry is prosperous, the Wen Dynasty does not even have a water army, what to take to fight the Dongwan?
Xichuan Shudi, the terrain is complex and precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not a good pit bone, what will Your Majesty take to fight Xichuan?
Su Qinghan wrote down these analyses one by one.
Tang Wenyuan didn't know Su Qinghan before, but today he saw a different side of Su Qinghan.
Su Qinghan did not stop writing, and continued to write: "The King of Shu only needs six months to reach the capital, and in six months, can Your Majesty hold Chang'an City?" β
"What does Miss Su think?"
Su Qinghan shook his head, "There is no chance of winning. β
This is a result that a mature strategist can think of, not only Su Jingsheng and Su Qinghan can think of.
Hua Tianxiong, Hua Liang, and Huguo Gong, including all the civil and military ministers of the Wen Dynasty, no one would think that Chang'an City could be defended.
Fighting a war is not a child's game, there are too many factors to consider.
Su Jingsheng had already told Tang Wenyuan the best way to retreat, but he didn't listen.
"Once Chang'an breaks the city, the world will rise together, and the people will be miserable and miserable. Although the Wen Dynasty had a surplus of cities, they also existed in name only. β
There were sixteen vassal kings in the Wen Dynasty, and at least six of them were powerful.
Because Chang'an City is now a Dinghai God Needle, and if Chang'an City is not broken, everyone thinks that the Wen Dynasty is still there.
The same is true for moving the capital, if you move the capital with the entire imperial court, no one will think that the Wen Dynasty has collapsed, and the vassal kings will naturally not make a big move.
Tang Wenyuan shook his head and sighed, and wrote, "Before Miss Su came, she had already thought of a countermeasure, right?" β
"Return the 20,000 horses of the King of Shu, together with the concubine, to Xichuan, send Qin Qingjue to Tianchi State, cede Yanmen Pass, and pay compensation. The Wen Dynasty needs time, and His Majesty should be obscure, and if he doesn't make a sound, he will already be a blockbuster. β
"Miss Su, putting aside the righteousness, are you willing to marry Xichuan?" This time, Tang Wenyuan asked directly.
Su Qinghan was stunned and shook his head slightly. Since ancient times, which princess is willing?
"I understand what you said, Su Aiqing's opinion is similar to yours. It's just that if they send you and Qin Qingjue out today, will they want Hua Junzhuo and Song Wushuang again in the future? Blind compromise will only make the other party think that you are a soft persimmon, who can want to pinch it. When marching and fighting, the soldiers are not many but fine, and the generals are not brave, but strategic.
Six months is enough time for me.
By the way, Miss Su, I don't want to make it difficult for others, if you don't want to be this queen, I won't force you. Anyway, marrying you and Hua Junzhuo is not my intention.
As soon as today passes, tomorrow some people will start to move out of the capital, and there will be a lot of civil and military officials, but there will always be those who are willing to stay.
Chang'an is the foundation left by the emperor, and I will not and cannot go. Everyone thinks that Chang'an City can't be defended, but I have to defend it, the city is here, I am there!
Miss Su went back and seriously considered it, if she still wanted to continue to be this queen, I would hold the wedding as scheduled. If you marry into the Tang family, you are a member of our Tang family, and you want to stay with me to guard Chang'an City, so I hope Miss Su will seriously consider it.
If you agree, I will not fail you. β
