Chapter 67: Blocking the Gate of Chengfu (End of Volume 2)
The locust plague in the Tang Dynasty survived, and the affected people did not starve to death, all of them were praising the great emperor and thanking the families who helped the disaster. However, the people who sent the grain at the most critical moment were not mentioned, and they were deliberately concealed by the imperial court. The common people did not know this, and very little was known in the court, although officials along the banks of the Fen and Yellow rivers informed their families behind them. But because Li Er can be guided, they are all suspicious.
In the Lizheng Palace, Li Er convened his confidant ministers to discuss the matter, and the main topic was how to treat scientists. Li Er felt threatened, this force that was not under his control was not as weak as he had imagined, and perhaps had amazing strength overseas. And there is also this elusive method of concealment, which makes him have to face it. So Li Kuanshimen, who has not been openly discussed with the ministers, is now on the table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that's all I know! I don't know what your opinion is! Li Er recounted some of the conclusions he knew and speculated, and then asked.
"Holy Lord, this scientist's current attitude is still friendly, and judging from their style of acting, they are not forcibly robbed, can you get in touch with them, otherwise it is really difficult to deduce based on speculation!" Fang Xuanling is good at planning, but at this time, he also feels tricky, this scientist has never heard of it, and Li Er has not caught the slightest clue in his investigation for so many years, this is simply an incredible thing, the most powerful person in the entire empire actually ended up in vain!
"Your Majesty, it's really impossible to determine whether it's friend or foe right now. However, the things they are doing now are beneficial and harmless to Datang, and the 100,000 stone grain can be described as life-saving food. Otherwise, the people will starve to death in large numbers, and even cause immeasurable consequences. There is also that ship, which is also a good reference, and has a great reference role in the improvement of my Datang Navy Division's battleship, which can be regarded as the contribution made by this scientist. Du Ruhui analyzed what scientists are doing now.
"In this way, scientists are still friendly to Datang, but I don't know if this friendship is real or made to paralyze us!" The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and said, "A school." It is unimaginable that I can raise 100,000 stone of grain in a short period of time, and the tax revenue of my entire treasury of Datang is not much more than a year. ”
This sentence can be described as a heart-wrenching statement. How can one school of thought store so much grain? Who would dare to say that they have no other intentions? With a single sentence, the eldest grandson Wuji completely overturned the conclusions he had reached before, and these things would rather be believed than not believed. Otherwise, there will be a heavy price to pay. This is a skill that all politicians learn and are proficient in.
Li Er watched as this group of henchmen and ministers analyzed and analyzed there. The result is still ambiguous, and I can't help but feel a little bored in my heart, this matter really makes the entire Datang helpless? So, how should this scientist deal with it? In short, Li Er was a little undecided at this moment.
Before, he thought that this scientist was insignificant, and it was only a matter of dozens of people, but now he realized that the roots of the original scientist were not on the mainland at all, but in that far overseas. In this way, the relationship between the two becomes delicate, if one of the occult schools is not happy. In the future, if you are an enemy of Datang, how should you deal with it? With the means by which they transported a big ship to the hinterland of the Central Plains without anyone knowing, can Datang withstand it? If this time it was not food that was sent, but the soldiers in armor and stubbornness, burning wolf smoke in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it would directly catch the Tang Empire off guard.
So this original thought of ringworm scabies, now there is a hidden worry of becoming a confidant, which makes Li Er have a headache, it seems that it is really time to meet with the scientist's person, Li Er does not believe that he has met and is not sure of the scientist's purpose and attitude! But now the time is not ripe, Datang's national strength is declining badly, at this time to go to a showdown, if it is friendly, it is easy to say, if it is hostile, then it will be difficult to do, so first pretend to be confused for a while, and wait for Datang's national strength to be strong and strong.
So Li Er temporarily suppressed this matter, including the merits of the scientists, and the role played by Li Kuan in this matter.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is another year, and after the locust plague, the people once again planted a lot of grain, so that these people who have suffered from disasters can survive the cold winter of the second year of Zhenguan, and the green and yellow season of the third year of Zhenguan.
Time came to Zhenguan four years, this year Li Kuan was thirteen years old, already a young man, thirteen years old he looked almost as tall as an adult, a full seven feet five inches tall, that is, almost one meter seventy-two. This height can be described as gigantism in a thirteen-year-old child. But Li Kuan is in a normal situation, he has been practicing Xinyi Fist unremittingly over the years, tempering his body and his superior family background make him well-nourished, and his height is nothing, at least he is still a head behind Li Er now, that is to say, Li Er's height is close to 1.9 meters, such a paternal gene, Li Kuan is not tall. Not only Li Kuan, Li Chengqian, and Li Ke are all good-looking, but they are not much shorter than Li Kuan. There is only Li Tai, who is tall and round. I haven't lost any weight.
On this day, Li Kuan sat on a Taishi chair, with a desk in front of him, on which was a folding fan, a ruler, and a teacup.
Opposite him was a large group of people, sitting at the tea table, listening intently to Li Kuan's narration.
In other words, Cheng Yanjin was also born in a big family, but his family was in the middle of the road, and he was downcast in his grandfather's generation. So Cheng Yanjin didn't go to private school when he was a child, he didn't know a basket of big characters, and the world was chaotic at that time, the Sui Dynasty was rising, and there were wars everywhere. Cheng Yanjin's family was also displaced, hiding from the military disaster everywhere. Unexpectedly, the family hid in Tibet and still failed to escape, Cheng Yanjin's father, when he was only a few years old, died in the process of fleeing from the rout of the army again. Leaving Cheng Yanjin and his old mother to rely on each other. Li Kuan took a sip of tea, then cleared his throat. looked at the princes and princesses who could listen to it on the other side, and felt a burst of pride in his heart. In later generations, he listened to the radio and heard "Speaking of Tang" and was put on this story by him at this time, which can be regarded as a bad taste! The eighteen heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Li Yuanba, who hated the sky and the earth, Cheng Biting Jin of the three-plate axe, and Yuwen Chengdu, the number one warrior in the world, all made him reminisce for a while, and finally remembered most of the plots.
This is also forced out by a large group of little guys over the years, at first there were only Li Liqing, Xiao Yuzhang, Xiao Tianxiang three little girls, and then Li Tai was added, and then Xiangcheng, Nanping, and Gaoyang, Qinghe, Lanling, as well as Li Zhen and Li Shen, all of them have to listen to the story. made Li Kuan's head big for a while, and he wanted to stop talking about it, but he couldn't resist the big watery eyes of those little guys. The palace is indeed boring and boring, and Li Kuan has lost his position again and again. This is not to say that Li Kuan is soft-natured, this is just for these younger brothers and sisters. If it were someone else, Li Kuan would be ruthless and no one would be able to cure him, Changsun Chong knew this very clearly, Du Gou Duhe also understood it, and the two boys of Fang Xuanling's family also knew it. Over the years, Li Kuan has tossed them enough.
"Second brother, say it quickly! General Cheng Biting Jin died of his father, why is he still so powerful? Xiao Yuzhang couldn't hold his breath the most and asked first.
Cheng Biting Jin died of his father, and his mother took him to hide in the mountains, avoiding the soldiers who fled everywhere at that time. It was in this deep mountain and old forest that Cheng Yanjin met his master! It was this person who taught him martial arts. Li Kuanshu opened the folding fan, shook it, and continued to speak.
"This man, I don't know his name, I don't know his origin, I only know that he is good at using an axe, and he has a very powerful axe method. is called "Tiangang Thirty-six Axes", and what he taught Cheng Yanjin is this set of axe methods. Li Kuan wanted to laugh when he said this, Cheng Biting Jin, the veteran Li Kuan, has often seen it after getting acquainted with the Cheng Chumo brothers in recent years, and the use of horse lances is indeed a good hand, but the axe is really not what he is good at. Once I saw Cheng Biting Jin chopping wood, and the axe was swinging, but after chopping dozens of axes in a row, the firewood was still standing on the chopping board, and only Cheng Biting Jin was tired of sweating.
"Is "Tiangang Thirty-six Axes" powerful?" Xiao Yuzhang asked again. The big eyes are full of longing, this little girl loves these things more and more, I really don't know who taught it, Li Lizhi has become more and more quiet in recent years, and she is no longer the style of a crazy girl back then, but this Yuzhang is getting more and more crazy.
"That's quite powerful, Cheng Bitingjin's master only taught Cheng Biting Jin for two days, and Cheng Biting Jin only learned three tricks, and then he became famous and became the current general, do you say it's powerful?" Li Kuan replied: "Cheng Yanjin has learned the three-plate axe, that is, the first three axes of "Tiangang Thirty-six Axes", which are the first style, splitting the head, the second style: picking ears, and the third style: picking the teeth of the little ghost. These three axes are Cheng Yanjin's killer moves to win a hundred battles in battles over the years. Usually, it is not used lightly, only a horse lance. Only when you meet a master will you use an axe. Now Cheng Yanjin has a Xuanhua big axe at home at any time, which he uses to practice this axe method. Li Kuan said with an oath.
Li Kuan said these words, he just took them as a story to his younger brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect it to cause something that made him cry and laugh.
A few days later, a little Lori stood in front of the door of Lu Guogong's mansion, shouting that General Cheng Zhijie would teach her "Tiangang Thirty-six Axes" with a small axe in her hand, blocking the gate and not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
When Li Kuan heard the news, he immediately thought of Yu Zhang, this crazy girl asked what kind of tricks such as splitting her head, picking out her ears, and picking her teeth were not powerful, Li Kuan felt that something was going to happen, but she didn't expect that she would go to Chengfu to block the door. At this moment, Li Kuan only felt that there were countless crows flying above his head, and shouted: stupid, stupid. (To be continued......)
