Overnight, as if it was the end of the world, Xianyang City became deserted, and all officials, gentry, and gentry disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

Li Chengqian stood outside the small courtyard, looking at Xianling, which had become desolate after returning to normal, he said sorry to the old man in his heart, and turned to look at Tang Shanzhi, who had just returned from Goguryeo: "How is it?" Is it okay over there? ”

"Gao Ming, where is there any Goguryeo now, except for that pseudo-Chang'an, it can also prove that there was a country on that peninsula, which has completely become a part of our Tang Dynasty, and Goguryeo can only be found in the history books in the future."

Tang Shanzhi joked with a strange smile, he had just returned from the front line, and the Liaodong Army had been advancing all the way since it won a decisive battle with more than 200,000 reinforcements from Goguryeo, and he, the logistics officer, had to move his official office forward, and finally moved directly to Li Daozong's Chinese army tent to stop.

Therefore, none of the people present knew the situation on the Goguryeo side better than him, even though he had been away from the front line for a month.

"Why hasn't an attack on the puppet Chang'an been launched yet? If I'm not mistaken, Silla and Baekje should have already taken care of themselves and returned home, right? Li Chengqian got a lot of information about the Liaodong Army from one-sided intelligence, and he could generally grasp some of the movements of the army, but he did not know the specific situation.

After all, the current supreme commander of the Liaodong Army is Li Daozong, and Li Chengqian can't understand how the overall situation of the Goguryeo battlefield is arranged without wanting to expose Cui Yu.

Another point is the question of command, he Li Chengqian is only a prince in the end, not an emperor, in the face of Li Daozong, who has been authorized by the old man, he can't show excessive concern for the Liaodong Army, otherwise it will only make things more and more troublesome.

Tang Shanzhi faced Li Chengqian's question, and helplessly spread his hands and said: "Isn't it the new emperor of Goguryeo, that kid threatened us that if he dared to attack the city, he would burn the palace on fire." ”

"Burned?" Li Chengqian turned his head in surprise, this was the first time he had heard of an example of using himself to threaten others in Datang, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"yes, that guy actually threatened us with his own life." Tang Shanzhi also felt that this matter was a little incredible, but quickly continued: "But we don't care about his rotten life, mainly because there are a lot of good things in the pseudo-Chang'an, these things can't be burned, right?" So the siege of the city was delayed. ”

"Che, who arranged this? What is there in the broken palace of Goguryeo that we don't have? Li Chengqian didn't know how to express his emotions, he didn't know who else would care about whether some of the precious cultural relics of the enemy country would be destroyed except for the iron army of later generations.

As a result, Tang Shanzhi shook his head and came to a push of 625: "How do I know who arranged it, I can know why I don't attack, I love to inquire." ”

Faced with Tang Shanzhi, who didn't know anything, Li Chengqian chose to give up, tapped lightly on the table and said: "Forget it, since you are back, you can leave the affairs of Goguryeo alone, continue to go back and help me build that steam engine, and don't think about getting out of that research agency until you build a multi-cylinder steam engine." ”

"What? Steam engine again? Isn't Changsun Chong doing that thing? Why am I here again? "Tang Shanzhi thought that there were some important arrangements for him to be transferred back from Liaodong, but he didn't expect to do his 'old job' again.

"I can't believe anyone else but you, you admit it!" Li Chengqian waved his hand.

That kid from Changsun Chong is not a down-to-earth person at all, and letting him build a steam engine is the biggest mistake Li Chengqian has made. So now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided to set things right, re-appoint meritocracy, and transfer Tang Shanzhi back to engage in this thing again.

"No, Gao Ming, you can't cheat me like this, look at the other brothers, which one is not a fifth-grade position, it's too embarrassing for me to be a sixth-grade, right?" With the idea that since he couldn't resist, he had to put on a comfortable position, Xiao Tang worked hard to fight for all his rights.

"This problem does not exist now, the Research Agency is already a department on the fifth grade, after taking this errand, you can immediately go to the Ministry of Officials to inquire and see if I lied to you." Li Chengqian seemed to have premeditated, and one sentence knocked all Xiao Tang's reasons into the dust.

Moreover, Li Chengqian really did not fool Tang Shanzhi in this regard, and the Research Department had already been raised by the old man under his application a month ago, and the level of the fifth grade was already comparable to that of the general supervisor.

Li Shimin also saw the potential of the Research Agency during this time, and with the idea of letting this department make persistent efforts to make more money for the Datang treasury, he agreed to his request without Li Chengqian's effort.

This made Li Chengqian regret it very much, he knew that the old man would be able to agree so easily, so it was better to mention the four products directly in one step.

However, it is a little too late to say anything now, and it is impossible for the Research Agency, which has just been mentioned to the first level, to be mentioned again, even if it can really be mentioned again, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Tang Shanzhi to take over the position of the signing order, so Li Chengqian also gave up this idea.

"Gao Ming, is there really no way to change it?" Tang Shanzhi asked again with a hope of one in ten thousand.

"I told you a long time ago, it's none other than you, if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll go to your father?!" Li Chengqian was a little annoyed by the grinding, and his eyes glared at him and threatened.

"Okay, I'll go, can't I go?" As soon as he heard his father, Xiao Tang immediately coaxed: "But Gao Ming, you have to tell me what a multi-cylinder steam engine is, right?" I've been out there for more than a year, and I've forgotten all the stuff I used to make. ”

"If there is anything to ask the research department myself, I will only tell you, one is a multi-cylinder steam engine, and the other is a steam engine miniaturization, and these two must be found for me as soon as possible. Especially the problem of miniaturization, if it can be reduced to one-fifth, Lao Tzu will give you credit and give you a title. ”

It is said that with Li Chengqian's current status as the crown prince, he should never agree to others to pay homage to the prime minister, so it can be seen that Li Chengqian also fought hard for the sake of the steam engine.

Tang Shanzhi is not a fool, from Li Chengqian's abnormal performance, he quickly realized the importance of the steam engine, and his expression began to become serious: "Gao Ming, I don't need you to promise such a big thing, as long as you transfer me out of the Research Agency after this thing is done, I will thank you!" ”nt
