Chapter Seventy-Three: The Book of Pills
As soon as he fell asleep, the sky was overcast, Yang Lian got up, washed, and still practiced, until the sky was completely bright, it was over, he put away the knife, ate breakfast, and when he was pacing in the yard, he couldn't help but think of the situation in the north.

The news brought by Mi Shiwei made Yang Lian a little worried, Guo Wei led the troops, it seems that Li Shouzhen will be pacified soon, a year later, how will the Han Congress go? Will Guo Wei rebel as he did in history? If the Later Zhou is established, with the Central Plains of the Ming Lord, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
Yang Lian thought for a while and shook his head, for Yang Lian, how to grasp more power in Datang is the most urgent thing. Now that he is retreating, how will Li Jing, the son of heaven, choose? Yang Lian didn't wait long, and soon, the Son of Heaven sent Gao Ze to summon Yang Lian.
"There is Lao Gao's father-in-law." Yang Lian said, quietly stuffing a pearl the size of a thumb into Gao Ze's hand, which was the trophy of the Battle of Fuzhou. In addition to a part given to the Son of Heaven, more part was hidden by Yang Lian and given to Gao Ze, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
Gao Ze narrowed his eyes, this pearl is so big, holding it in his hand, it feels very comfortable, Gao Ze smiled and closed his mouth, and said: "Summoned by the Son of Heaven, it seems that something happened on the side of Haichu and Chu Prefectures." ”
"Haichu and Chu Prefectures?" Yang Lian suddenly remembered the letter sent by Lin Renzhao, so it was the Huaibei group of thieves who had the intention of going south to invade, so the Son of Heaven needed him to go north immediately to deal with the military and politics?
Yang Lian and Gao Ze hurried to the palace, and in the imperial study, Li Jing was standing with his hands in his hands, standing in front of the map and watching, very attentive. Yang Lian walked in quickly, bowed his hand, and said, "Weichen Yang Lian has seen Your Majesty. ”
Li Jing looked back, a smile appeared on his face, Yang Lian regarded himself as a micro-minister, proving that he still wanted to play for Datang, which was good news for Li Jing.
"Yang Aiqing, come, take a look here." Li Jing smiled and pointed to Huaibei.
Yang Lian walked over and looked at Huaibei, Li Jing had already drawn a few circles on the map, Yang Lian looked at it, but it was Xuzhou, Suzhou, Yizhou, Mizhou and other places, along the river of Lianghuai, all the way to the east, towards the Shandong Peninsula.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Yang Lian had a hint of doubt.
Li Jing coughed twice and said, "Yang Aiqing, now that Han is in turmoil, Li Shouzhen has sent people to contact me several times, hoping that I can send troops to attack Han and attract Han troops to reduce his pressure, what do you think?" ”
Yang Lian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is an alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Han Kingdom, if you openly raise troops, it is obviously immoral, and I am afraid that you will be pointed out by the people of the world." ”
Li Jing frowned and said, "Yang Aiqing, don't you approve?" ”
"Your Majesty is determined to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty, which is naturally what Weichen wants. However, at this time and at that time, if there is a situation today, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and if you easily move troops, I am afraid that it will cause panic among others. Weichen's opinion is that it is a good thing to expand the territory, but this matter must be carefully considered. Yang Lian explained.
Li Jing hurriedly asked, "Think about it carefully?" Yang Aiqing, do you have any good solutions? ”
Yang Lian pondered for a while, staring at the map all the time, Li Jing was a little nervous, what did Yang Lian have in mind? After a long while, Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, last year, Weichen once wrote a letter, saying that he wanted to work with the Han State to exterminate the Huaibei bandits, but was later rejected by the Han State. Wechen thought that he could make a fuss about this matter now. ”
"Making a fuss?" Li Jing was stunned.
Yang Lian smiled faintly and said in a low voice, this is a plan, it will take a long time to complete, but if it is achieved, the benefits obtained are unimaginable, Li Jing stared at the map for a long time, and after digesting Yang Lian's words, he felt that this plan was feasible. However, this also means that as the implementer of this plan, he will have to stay in Haichu and Haichu for a long time.
"Yang Aiqing, if this is the case, I am afraid that the marriage between Princess Huairou and you will be delayed." Li Jing felt guilty, but this guilt was not so much sorry for Yang Lian, but rather because she felt that she couldn't explain to Princess Huairou, that little girl, if she was willful, I was afraid that she would make a fuss.
How could Yang Lian not understand Li Jing's worries, he first said Princess Huairou, and this is what he has in mind. Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, only when there is a country can there be a home, although Weichen is not talented, he should also put national affairs first, and his daughter's love last." Just ......"
"Just what?" Li Jing asked.
"Your Majesty, Weichen's name is special, and it always makes people suspicious, but the name left by his parents is also the only thought, and Yang Lian will never change it." Yang Lian said categorically.
"Alas!" Li Jing sighed, shook his head, and said, "You are still so stubborn. ”
Yang Lian said with a smile: "A person must always have some persistence, Weichen insisted, and he also missed his parents, otherwise he would become an unfaithful and unfilial person." ”
Li Jing was originally a loyal and filial person, and he couldn't help nodding his head again and again when he heard the words, when Liezu was surnamed Li, and later because he was adopted by Xu Wen, his surname was Xu, Li Jing's original name was Xu Jingtong, and later his surname was changed to Li, and finally he was called Li Jing. Liezu changed his surname, but also with nostalgia, now Yang Lian said this, so that he has a little moved, the old talent is trustworthy, Li Jing employs people, the first is to be loyal and reliable, and the ability is secondary.
"Your Majesty, Weichen's name is special, in order not to be criticized, Weichen still disarmed and returned to the field, and no longer asked about the affairs of the court." Yang Lian said.
"Yang Aiqing, you're still worried about this." Li Jing sighed.
Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen just doesn't want to ......"
"Okay, Yang Aiqing, no matter what you think, I trust you very much, can you bear to see me disappointed?" Li Jing smiled, joked, and said, waving his hand, a eunuch behind him walked over with a box.
When the eunuch arrived in front of Yang Lian and stood still, Li Jing smiled and said, "Yang Aiqing, you open it and take a look." ”
"This ......" Yang Lian hesitated for a moment, reached out and opened the lid, and there was a gold medal in the box, with four words engraved on it: Danshu Iron Coupon.
"Yang Aiqing, this is the gold medal I gave you, with this thing, unless you rebel, you can not die." Li Jing said, picked up the gold medal, and sent it to Yang Lian.
Yang Lian looked carefully at this piece of things that were praised as "death-free gold medals" by later generations, the iron coupon was very exquisite, and it was made of pure gold, golden yellow, and Yang Lian's name was engraved on it, next to the name, there was a string of very small fonts engraved, and if you looked closely, it was similar to the words of the Son of Heaven just now.
Li Jing squinted at Yang Lian, hoping that he would agree, Yang Lian held the Danshu iron coupon, hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty's intentions, Weichen has already understood, I just hope that the world can be calmed down as soon as possible." ”
"Good, good!" Li Jing was overjoyed in his heart, paced to the edge of the map again, and said: "Yang Aiqing, the sooner things in Huaibei are better, although I am reluctant to you, but the state affairs are important, and the world will be pacified in the future, I will definitely make you the prince." ”
People of the opposite sex are not allowed to be crowned kings, not to mention that even if it is a national surname, it is not necessarily a prince, Li Hongji also became the king of Yan only last year, and he was only a duke before.
Yang Lian shook his head and said: "The world has been in turmoil for a long time, I just hope that the world will be peaceful and the people will be healthy." As for the Prince, please also ask Your Majesty to take it back. ”
Li Jing smiled, and when he saw that Yang Lian just refused the title of prince, he knew that there was a play. Li Jing is not reluctant, after all, the prince's respect is just a celebrity, if Yang Lian marries Princess Huairou, he is a concubine, and his status is no less than that of the prince, so he will not be entangled in this issue immediately, and said: "Yang Aiqing, Huairou is ...... over there"
"Wechen will explain it to her." Yang Lian nodded.
Li Jing laughed, Yang Lian can do this, things will be much easier.
Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has one thing to clarify. ”
"Okay, you say." Li Jing said.
Yang Lian walked to the edge of the map and said a little about the geography of Haizhou, saying that he wanted to form a naval division, if the naval division was trained, he could attack Wuyue in the south, and in the north, he could collect the coastal area of the Han Kingdom, and even go north to attack Liaodong. Now that the sixteen states of Youyun are in the hands of the Khitans, if the Tang Dynasty wants to unify the world, it must recover Youyun. It would be great if you could go hand in hand with both land and water. In particular, Yang Lian talked about the plan of the Northern Expedition, which made Li Jing very surprised by this plan.
Li Jing believes in Yang Lian, this belief is not blind, at least the plan proposed by Yang Lian has been realized, so now Yang Lian's plan makes him quite excited, Pingnan and North, sweep away Hulu, and rebuild a new Tang Dynasty, like a huge cake, so that Li Jing covets, if he can really unify the world, drive out the Khitans, recover the sixteen states of Youyun, and even learn from the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, step through Helan Mountain, and make the Khitan women colorless, then Li Jing is the first emperor of the ages, respected and worshipped.
Li Jing took two deep breaths, looked at Yang Lian seriously, and said, "How sure is this plan?" ”
"At least seven points." Yang Lian replied.
Li Jing nodded, it was almost impossible to be very sure, if Yang Lian answered like this, he would hesitate, but Yang Lian's seven points were more real, "Okay, Yang Aiqing, what do you need, I will definitely support it." ”
Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, Weichen needs a shipwright, and in addition, he also wants to recruit sailors in the Jiangnan area. After a pause, seeing Li Jing's strange expression, he explained, "Although the two states of Haichu are also considered southern, the water nature of the soldiers is obviously not comparable to that of the Jiangnan area. If a soldier is familiar with water, it is much easier to practice. When you sail at sea in the future, you will not vomit. ”
"Hmm!" Li Jing nodded, Runzhou, Jinling, and even Jiangzhou, Raozhou, Hongzhou and other places, or near the sea, or there are big lakes, there are shipyards of considerable scale in these places, since Yang Lian needs shipwrights, then some shipwrights will be transferred from these places, and as for sailors, some can also be drawn from Runzhou, Guangling, Jinghai Institute and other places. Although Li Jing has never led soldiers, he knows that with this part of the veterans as the backbone, it is easy for an army to be brought up, of course, in a certain aspect, Li Jing is still selfish.
Yang Lian didn't care, the Son of Heaven arranged it like this, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, and he immediately thanked him, and the one gentleman and one minister said for a while, and the matter was finally finalized.
