Chapter 16: Face Saint
"Li You, did that kid say anything along the way?" Li Shimin sat cross-legged, holding the fold and reading it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info waited for a while, but didn't hear Li You speak, and looked up at him, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Looking at Li You, his voice became stern.
"This, Gu Gongzi didn't speak along the way, but just said a word in front of the palace..."
"What are you talking about?"
"He said, red, yellow, symbolizing blood and power, and said..."Li You glanced up at the emperor, his body trembled, and continued: "For a moment, he wanted to be the emperor. ”
"That's what he said?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, "Hmph, is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to be an emperor?" But he also heard those three words for a moment.
"Did he say anything?" Li Shimin then asked.
"Back to the emperor, after hearing that the emperor arranged him to the left guard camp, Gu Gongzi asked the old slave to bring a message to the innkeeper, saying that he couldn't go back in three or two days, and told them not to worry."
Li Shimin threw the fold on the table, snorted coldly, and then laughed hesitantly, "Call him over tomorrow for lunch." ”
"Didn't the emperor say that he would be hung for a few days first?" Li You was puzzled.
"This kid is smart and tight, I'm afraid he has already understood. Besides, the war in the north is tight, so it should be solved as soon as possible, and it will be settled as soon as possible. Li Shimin said, "Actually, I want to see how this kid deals with those scholars." ”
The Shi clan, these big families that have been passed down for decades, can't just attack them. People's feelings, background, and popularity, these are all shackles. However, some scholars rely on these to blackmail the imperial power and influence the government. Fortunately, there are ministers in the court like Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin, and Gongsun Wuda, so that they will not be controlled everywhere.
"Li You, do you think I'm too tolerant of them?"
"The old slave only knows that the dignity of the royal family cannot be desecrated." Li You is an old man who has accompanied Li Shiming for more than 30 years, and he knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the sound of the piano, and he knows that Li Shimin is going to do something to those disobedient scholars.
Before lunch the next day, Li You came to the left guard camp to invite Gu Yue to face the saint, and when he saw Gu Yue, he was very surprised, because the commander of the king actually taught Gu Yue kung fu with his own hands, and it seemed that Gu Yue and these officers and soldiers got along very well.
"Gu Gongzi, the king's leader, pass on the emperor's edict, announce the ancient moon to meet you, and eat lunch with me."
Commander Wang looked at Gu Yue strangely, he didn't expect this new young man to be so favored by the emperor, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but jealousy was jealousy, but he still admired this young man, "Little brother Gu, since the emperor summoned you, let's go quickly, don't delay." ”
Gu Yue was also surprised, he thought that Second Master Li would dry him for a few more days, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, "Commander Wang, farewell." Father-in-law Li, please lead the way. ”
After a while, Li You took Gu Yue and stood in front of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
"The grass people Guyue greets the emperor." Gu Yue bowed down honestly, after all, the saying that a companion is like a tiger is not a joke, and being honest is the right way.
"Let's be flat." Second Master Li looked at Gu Yue with a smile, "Little Brother Gu..."
"The grass people are here."
"I heard that you have come up with a new dish, today, I have instructed the imperial chef to make your new dish, let's take a seat." Second Master Li said.
Several eunuchs brought up the potsticker fish that Gu Yue made for Lao Cheng and Lao Hei that day, Gu Yue looked at the fish, and then at Li Shimin, I don't know which one he was playing.
"Well, it tastes good." Li Shimin picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, "Brother Gu, it seems that you have a deep accomplishment in cooking." ”
"The emperor has won the award." Gu Yue said very politely, but he kept talking, because the imperial chef made it was much more delicious than what he made, and he was worthy of being a professional, "The grass people are delicious, so they like to tinker with these things." ”
"In order to eat fresh fish, Brother Gu has worked hard to create such a thing as a bomb." Second Master Li put down his chopsticks and said, but looking at Gu Yue's eating appearance, he was originally a little full, but now he is hungry again.
"The emperor is wise." Gu Yue knew what Second Master Li meant, "If you can harvest more fish, anyone will be happy." ”
"But the fish walked so fast that they were like wings."
Gu Yue listened to Li Erye's words like a dumb riddle, and felt really tired, don't you just want to ask if there is any effect on dealing with the Turks who grow on horseback, how good it is to say it directly, and let people eat well.
But whining is whining, what you want will follow, Li Erye likes this tune, so he has to cooperate, Gu Yue also put down his chopsticks and said: "It doesn't matter if you swim fast, as long as there are fish within a radius of two zhang, you can't run away, even if the fish doesn't die, it will be blown up." ”
"It's a deterrent."
After hearing this, Li Shimin thought for a while, "Is it possible for two zhang to become three zhang?" ”
"Yes, it's just a matter of dosage, but the grass people don't recommend it." Gu Yue voiced his concerns.
"Why?"
"If it hurts the heavens and the peace, the extremes of things will be reversed."
"What do you mean?"
"There are always fish in the river, and if there are no fish in the river, what is the difference between it and the dead river. Besides, if you force the fish to be in a hurry, you will inevitably break the net with the fishermen. ”
Li Shimin is also thinking about this problem, if the Turkic people are completely wiped out, it will be as cruel as exterminating a species, and such a thing as extinction must not be done.
Let's not talk about the darkness, if the Turks are really wiped out, the other neighboring countries will be in danger, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not unite to deal with the Tang Dynasty. "Alas, it's my face."
"Your Majesty, this is the secret recipe for making bombs." Gu Yue had recorded this method of making bombs in advance, he didn't want to be caught by Second Master Li, so he would leave such a dangerous matter as making bombs to the imperial court.
"Oh? Brother Gu really wants to give this secret recipe? Li Shimin said with a smile, "Originally, this thing was created by you, and I planned to hand it over to you to make a bomb." He knew what Gu Yue was up to, but he didn't want him to get involved in making bombs like that. Second Master Li knew that this little brother Gu still had a lot of skills that he hadn't taken out.
"The grass people are terrified."
"Since you don't want to, I won't be reluctant, but you have a meritorious service, say, what do you want?" Li Shimin was very angry and waved his hand, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn't give.
"It is the blessing of the grass people to be able to serve the court, where do you dare to ask for any benefits." Gu Yue added another sentence in her heart, thank God if you don't kill me. In Gu Yue's heart, the emperor is the kind of person who is moody and decisive.
"In this way, the day before yesterday, I heard that because of the case of Yin Songrong in Chang'an Mansion, you and the Song family had some conflicts, and I thought you would ask me to help you mediate it."
"Mediate a fart, if you don't play like this, who will provoke the Song family. Besides, if he lives in the palace these days, if the people of the Song family are not stupid, they will also weigh their weight in the emperor's heart. Gu Yue sneered.
"The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules."
