In May, Chang'an City was beautiful and sunny, but Daozheng Fang did not make any trouble as Xuan Shijing imagined, at least after Uncle Liu brought people over, there was no one who came to Daozheng Fang to stir up the situation, and the whole Daozheng Fang was busy, not only the No. 1 house and the College of Engineering, but also the foundations of other houses, which were basically fought, and everything was developing in the best direction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because the news of the College of Engineering spread, first the disciples of several great craftsmen of the Daozheng Workshop packed up their things and came to the Daozheng Workshop, and then there were many people in their respective circles who were interested in moving, so there were more and more craftsmen who gathered in the Daozheng Workshop.

Such a situation is what Xuan Shijing likes to see, there are more and more craftsmen, which can not only accelerate the progress of the Daozheng Fang, but also ensure the future of the School of Engineering, at least let Xuan Shijing have the guarantee of slapping the face of the Ministry of Engineering.

However, Xuan Shijing also knew that the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Historical Observatory were so arrogant, it was impossible, and it could only be said that behind the calm, what was brewing was a more troublesome countermeasure.

In the middle of the year, news came from the palace that Chen Dade, who had sent an envoy to Goguryeo, had arrived in Chang'an and brought back what he had seen and heard of Goguryeo, and His Majesty Li Er received Chen Dade in the Ganlu Palace.

In the Shenhou Mansion, Xuan Shijing was in the courtyard of the study, setting up a tea set, drinking tea by himself, Qin Bingyue stood quietly behind Xuan Shijing, and opposite Xuan Shijing, there were Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao.

"Xiao Jing, Chen Dade has returned from Goguryeo, it seems that the day when His Majesty will send troops to Goguryeo is not far away." Fang Yiai said.

Xuan Shijing lifted the fine purple clay pot, poured a cup of tea for himself, picked it up, shook it slightly under his nose, smelled the tea, but did not drink it in his mouth, and put the teacup down again.

"Although it was decided a long time ago to send troops to Goguryeo, the timing of sending troops was not right." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "No matter how you say it, you have to wait until Gao Jianwu dies before the army of the Tang Dynasty can gather in Liaodong, and now it is only a month, how can Yan Lide build more than 400 ships and warships in Hongzhou, Raozhou, Jiangzhou and other places." ”

"After Gao Jianwu's death? Master Hou, how do you conclude that Gao Jianwu will die? Marshal Zhao asked puzzledly, although the infighting in Goguryeo is now known to the Manchu Dynasty, but after all, Gao Jianwu is the orthodox King Rongliu, and Quangai Suwen is just a courtier, Gao Jianwu's Rongliu King is personally sealed by His Majesty, if Quangai Suwen forces the palace coup, you also have to consider the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, since Quangai Suwen is so powerful, how could he not think of this.

"The battle between Quangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu is a life-and-death battle, Quangai Suwen doesn't want to die, then he can only die Gao Jianwu, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Quangai Suwen's power in Goguryeo has made the Gao family jealous from his father's generation, and the contradiction between the two is also intensifying, and in the end, it can only evolve into a situation where one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers." Xuan Shijing explained: "Quangai Suwen is a hero, Gao Jianwu is beautiful on the surface, but in fact, he is already a foreign powerhouse, otherwise he would not have let Gao Huanquan come to Chang'an last year." ”

"Gao Huanquan's coming to Chang'an is indeed a good move for Gao Jianwu." After figuring out the joints, Fang Yiai couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that this is also a double-edged sword, obviously, Gao Jianwu's abacus is about to fail, but it gives His Majesty an excuse to use troops against Goguryeo." ”

"It's just a pity......" Xuan Shijing sighed.

Fang Yiai nodded, and then asked, "The next Chang'an will not be peaceful." ”

Sending troops to Liaodong involves too many things, since there is going to be a war, there must be many people who want to place their children and nephews in the army to make a name for themselves.

"This huge Chang'an City, how long has it been too peaceful." Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly.

Fang Yiai sighed and said: "Actually, if you say that you go to the army, you are also thinking about it, maybe your brother will also be arranged by my father to be in the army, although the battlefield is dangerous, but it may not be an opportunity." ”

"Fang Xiang wants to let you go to the battlefield with the second brother?" Xuan Shijing was surprised, if the Fang family said that they would go to the battlefield, it seemed that it would not be Fang Yiai's turn, not that they looked down on Fang Yiai, but the current situation and arrangement, no matter whether it was reasonable or reasonable, Fang Yiai should not go to the army.

Fang Yiai's brother Fang Yizhi, although he is the eldest son of Fangfu, but up to now, he has not made any achievements in the court, but he has added a small official ear, and Fang Yiai is already the long history of the Shenhou Mansion, the second-in-command of Jinyiwei.

Fang Yiai smiled: "I have a hunch, I and my eldest brother, we always have to go to one, but I'm thinking, the eldest brother is the eldest son of Fangfu, and he will always inherit Fangfu in the future, inherit the title of Duke of Liangguo, the battlefield is dangerous, and the eldest brother is a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, which is not suitable for that kind of place, so I think it is more appropriate for me to go, we two brothers, no matter who goes, it is good for Fangfu." ”

Fang Yiai's words are right, although Fang Yiai has been in the Shenhou Mansion for a long time, but he can't ignore the advantages of his good riding and shooting, compared to Fang Yizhi, it is true that Fang Yiai can handle it better.

However, Fang Xuanling's words also made Xuan Shijing's heart sink, Fang Xuanling is still in the court, sitting firmly in the position of important minister, and the brothers of the Fang family will go to the battlefield to make a name for themselves?

This way, it is just relying on the power left by Xuan Mingde, gradually developing and growing, and taking many detours less than others, but Xuan Mingde's kindness to His Majesty Li Er, can he eat for a lifetime?

The answer is obvious, that's why Xuan Shijing will be so unremitting in developing the Tang Chamber of Commerce, developing the Shenhou Mansion, forming the Jinyi Guard, and gradually turning the power left by Erxianzhuang into a bright face and legalizing.

It seems that in this war in Liaodong, Xuan Shijing also needs to go in person.......

Regardless of whether the battlefield is dangerous or not, Xuan Shijing, as the head of the Hou Mansion in Dongshan, always has to create a future for the Hou Mansion, which is his responsibility, and it is his duty to shirk it, even if it is possible to throw his life in Liaodong.

inherited the title and became the head of the family, the rise and fall of the family is all on him, God is fair, how much you enjoy at the same time, you must pay how much.

The Tang Dynasty still has military merits, so that the Hou Mansion has a stable foothold in Chang'an, and it is not advisable to have non-military merits.

"Second Brother Fang, if the person who went to the battlefield this time is really your elder brother, then the younger brother will definitely follow him and go with you." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
