Looking at Li Chengqian, who was talking eloquently, Wu Yuanqing felt very grateful in his heart, this guy is really not a little kid when he first met, although he is still very playful, but when it comes to business, Wu Yuanqing can only be a listener except for being able to talk about Li Chengqian in some things with his wider knowledge.

The two of them talked and walked slowly, and by the time they arrived, Li Tai had already taken the other colts on the steam train Ula Ula for many laps.

Now the speed of the steam train has also increased a lot, an hour can run nearly a hundred miles, although the speed is still a lot slower than the speed of riding a horse galloping, but the train can not last long enough, as long as the steam engine can still run can keep running, I don't want horses, the real military horse can run dozens of miles and hundreds of miles can not be driven to run, to rest for a long time. The Emperor had already ordered the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs to be the supervisor and begin planning the construction of the railway.

I think it won't be long before you can see a train with a whistling column of smoke in Datang, crisscrossing the east, west, north and south.

In ancient times, what kind of projects were built, especially the speed of siege cities to be built by the country, it was really not comparable to later generations.

After all, in the future, no matter how much you are a national project, the number of people involved in the construction is limited, because you are hiring workers to repair it. In ancient times, the country was built by conscripting conscripts.

Just like a huge Chang'an city was repaired in a year, Luoyang, a huge eastern capital, couldn't be used for ten months from the decision to build to the completion of the design and construction.

Because the number of people who are used at one time is millions of people, it is completely dependent on the number of people to make up for the lack of process equipment. This will not be possible in any country in the future.

But in ancient times, such examples abounded.

This was the case before Datang built cement roads, and now it is also like this when preparing to build railways. Unlike Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who repaired the canal and repaired the eastern capital, the uncontrolled oppression of the people forced by the people, the Tang Dynasty now has money, especially money, and grain, and the key emperor is also willing to do it, and the people who are requisitioned will properly arrange food and accommodation, and there will never be any such thing as forcing the people to pull the flag and rebel because they are too bitter and tired, and there are countless deaths and injuries.

Moreover, all the requisitioned people will not only be exempted from taxes according to the regulations, but will also compensate a certain amount of food to prevent their families from living unsurviving.

And in order to prevent local officials from disobeying the law, the imperial court will regularly send a large number of imperial history inspections, and once malfeasance is discovered, it will be directly investigated on the spot.

After having dinner in the palace, he went home, and then Wu Yuanqing, the third year of junior high school, began to go to his uncle's elder's house one by one to pay New Year's greetings.

In addition to New Year's greetings, the rest of the time is spent at home with his family, because he has to follow the emperor to visit Luoyang. Changle, Xiangcheng has just become pregnant, he is going to go far away, and it is very likely that he will not be able to come back when the two give birth, Wu Yuanqing is very guilty and wants to accompany the two as much as possible.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, just after the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor set off for Chang'an. This time, it was no longer the left servant who shot Fang Xuanling who stayed in Chang'an to assist the prince, but Gao Shilian, who had just become the right servant.

The emperor traveled, the speed has always been slow, two days to reach Lishan, the average daily trip is more than 20 miles.

This guy is really easy to walk more than 20 miles a day, and when Wu Yuanqing is not lazy, he can walk for more than 20 miles.

However, some people think that this is too hard.

When you arrive in Lishan, you naturally don't need to camp outside. The very famous Huaqing Pond, Huaqing Palace is located in Lishan, which is the location of the very important royal garden palace around Chang'an.

However, at this time, it is not called Huaqing Palace, but called Wentang Palace, a state agency in Datang, Wentang Jian is also set up because of the hot springs here, the main thing is to manage the hot springs, and who uses the hot springs to water and grow some vegetables in autumn and winter.

Li Shimin lived in Wentang Palace.

And then something happened in this Wentang Palace that made people laugh and cry.

As I said before, it took the emperor two days to travel from Chang'an to Lishan to Wentang Palace, and it was only fifty miles away from Chang'an, that is, he only walked more than twenty miles a day.

But in the past 20 miles, there are people who feel that it is not good.

Just after Li Shimin fell asleep at night, suddenly, outside the courtyard wall of the palace where he lived, the trembling hum of the bowstring sounded, and it came far away in the dead of night.

Then a few arrows flew over the courtyard wall and clanged and landed on the doors, windows, and roofs of the dormitory.

"There are assassins."

A terrible warning resounded in the night sky.

The torches of the patrol guards were lit in unison, and soon the emperor's dormitory was completely encircled, and the inch outside the courtyard wall was quickly searched by the guards, but no assassins were found, as if they had disappeared like a puff of green smoke.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin was awakened as soon as he fell asleep, his face was gloomy, and the anger in his heart was on the verge of erupting.

"Your Majesty, there are assassins." Wei Chi Baolin, who was on duty, and Cheng Chumo returned with ugly faces.

"Did you catch it?" Li Shimin's eyes swept the two of them sharply and asked.

"The assassin ran too fast and didn't catch it. But the minister has already sent people to chase after him." Yu Chi Baolin returned with some trepidation.

"What are you chasing, how can there be an assassin who breaks in here without being detected, unless there is a mistake in your arrangement, but I am sure that you two will not make such a mistake. If it's not from the outside, it's only something from the inside. Check all the guards on duty to see who is not on duty or has left. If you find out, you don't need to be interrogated, you don't have to be killed." Although Li Shimin was furious, he still knew that he didn't control his anger on Yu Chi Baolin and Cheng Chumo.

First of all, he trusts these two people unconditionally, he doesn't believe that these two people will do anything unfavorable to him, and secondly, these two people serving as the head of the guard is an order given by himself personally, and he has just left Beijing to scold and punish the two for poor protection, isn't that a slap in the face, Li Shimin didn't do this.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go and investigate." Yu Chi Baolin made a tacit signal to let him stay and protect, and he hurriedly left to order his subordinates to check themselves.

Then, the results of this self-examination soon reached the hands of Yu Chi Baolin, and the so-called assassin was also revealed.

It's really the guards under him, there are two people in total, one is called Cui Qing and the other is Diao Wenyi. The two of them were on patrol and found an excuse to leave the team one after another.

Although Li Shimin said that there was no need to interrogate, and he would kill him directly if he found out, Yu Chi Baolin still asked the reason, and then the two people who were exposed did not deny it, and said it in 1510.

The reason made Yu Chi Baolin laugh or scold, these two people actually felt that the march was too hard, thinking about how long such a hard day would last, the two of them felt a little desperate.

So, the two discussed, and thought that it would be great if the emperor could stop patrolling Luoyang because he was frightened by chance, and the hard days would come to an end.

As soon as the two of them combined, they wrote, directed, and acted in a good play, that is, they took advantage of the night to shoot arrows at the emperor's palace, making the illusion of an assassin to deter the emperor.

Yu Chi Baolin didn't know what to say, although the purpose of the two was only to frighten and not really to be unfavorable to the emperor, but after all, it was to shoot arrows at the emperor's bedroom, no matter what the reason was, it was a big rebellion, and it was a big rebellion to say disrespectful words to the emperor, let alone archery.

The two of them were very stupid and naïve, and Yu Chi Baolin felt very sorry, but the fate of the two was already doomed when they dared to think of it.

Wei Chi Baolin didn't ask any more, and directly ordered the two to be executed, and the crime was the great rebellion among the ten evils, that is, the great rebellion.
