64 A sad vinegar cloth

Yuan Tiangang saw that Li Shimin suddenly became happy, and he couldn't make up his mind in his heart, he hadn't finished relaying the words of that adult, why was His Majesty happy, why was this?

"Lord Eldest Sun, General Li, why do you think that immortal always brings up the question of salt?" In Li Shimin's eyes, he naturally knows the importance of salt, there is actually no shortage of salt farms in Datang, but there are not many that can be used, if he is not mistaken, the deep meaning of this immortal's words should be to help Datang get more and better salt, in this way, not to mention ordinary daily life, the most critical war period with salt can be greatly solved.

"Your Majesty, salt in the army is indeed in short supply from time to time, and I think that if we can solve the problem of weapons first, and then solve the problem of salt later, then there is no need to worry about this Turkic disturbance, and even more, it will be of great benefit to all future conquests." Li Jing pondered for a while, and replied, "When the sergeants were in short supply of salt, there was also a situation where the salt was saved for the war horses to use first, if this problem can be solved, then it will greatly improve the physical fitness of the sergeants." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also knows a little bit about this problem, although he is only a civil official. Hearing Li Jing say this, he also nodded again and again, the problem of this salt is indeed a key, the Immortal Lord asked Yuan Tiangang to pass the word, it must not be simple, so he turned his head and asked again: "Lord Yuan, did the Immortal Lord say the solution?" ”

Yuan Tiangang was actually confused at this time, if he hadn't heard Li Jing talk about it, how would he know anything In the case of insufficient salt, the sergeants even had to give salt to the war horses first. You have to ask him how the stars are, how his face is, he can talk about the Tao, but he really doesn't know much about the daily affairs in the army. Thinking back to the words of that person at that time, he was a little ashamed, bowed his hand to the eldest grandson Wuji, did not answer his question, turned to Li Shimin, and continued: "Your Majesty, a certain person knows very little about things in the army, and at that time, he was appointed as a salt official order, but those adults felt that a certain study was too complicated, and they didn't know what position to arrange, so they gave a certain salt official order. Speaking of shame, it was during his inauguration that he had more time to ponder the astrological signs, and asked His Majesty for forgiveness. ”

Li Shimin was also a little puzzled by Yuan Tiangang's sudden plea, how many years have passed, what kind of crime is it now, and with a wave of his hand, he will reveal the matter, but for the eldest grandson Wuji's problem, Li Shimin is also very curious, since the gods have mentioned it, I don't know if there is a solution.

"This salt...... That person also said some things, but ...... "Yuan Tiangang didn't take this matter to heart at the time, so he didn't listen to it seriously, and only remembered a rough idea, but even if it was a rough idea, it seemed that what he said seemed to be very ridiculous."

Li Shimin saw him hesitating, thinking that it was related to some heavenly opportunity, so he asked softly: "Is it a matter of heavenly opportunity?" ”

If this is the case, then does it even more explain that the problem of salt must be solved by the gods who want to help Datang?

Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he suddenly felt that maybe it was because of his too rigorous attitude that His Majesty was also so overly thoughtful, that person's words did not involve any heavenly opportunities at all, they sounded more like nonsense, and his heart was a little more relaxed, and said: "Your Majesty, that person didn't leak any heavenly secrets, but he told a certain dream." ”

"Dreams?" What do you do in your dreams? Could it be that he followed Hui Saburo to the eldest grandson queen to talk about salt, and he also pretended to pass on the word to the immortals about the dream? So now the gods also use this method to pass on their own words? The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he hurriedly urged Yuan Tiangang to quickly explain the dream that the fairy said in detail.

Because of Yuan Tiangang's relaxation, the atmosphere of the entire hall was a little lighter, speaking of that dream, Yuan Tiangang tried to recall it, but he still couldn't remember it completely, so he picked it up and said-

After Fang Cai fell into a coma, he had a dream, dreaming of the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and many generals gathered together, looking at a very large map, everyone's faces were very serious, and they kept saying something. At first, he couldn't hear what everyone was saying, only vaguely heard the words "war", "salt", "grain and grass", etc., but then he also came up and understood what was happening.

"I saw Cheng Biting Jin crying miserably, holding something like a rag strip in his hand, his fists clenched tightly, and Li Jing sighed on the side, with an expression of 'I sympathize with you, but I can't help it'. I thought to myself, what's going on? Lost the war? So I told them that crying is useless, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and husbands should not cry because they lose a battle. Yuan Tiangang tried to learn that tone, but found that no matter how he listened to it, it was a bit nondescript, especially when it came to Cheng Biting Jin and Li Jing, which made the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin laugh.

Of course, Li Jing also smiled when he heard it, it was just a wry smile, what is the expression of "I sympathize with you, but I can't help it", what kind of expression should it be? Why didn't he know it himself?

Subsequently, Yuan Tiangang continued: "I said for a long time, but they didn't seem to hear it, I went up in a hurry and kicked Cheng Yanjin over, and pulled the strip of cloth in his hand and threw it on the ground. Then Cheng Biting Jin chased after me to fight, shouting, 'A certain weekday saved salt and fed the horses, with such a little vinegar cloth to stain the taste, how dare you!' ’。 How do I know what vinegar cloth is, how do I know that he feeds the horse with salt and eats a rag strip himself? No wonder I cried so sadly just now. ”

Li Shimin couldn't laugh anymore at this time, and the expression on the eldest grandson Wuji's face sank, and the dream of the gods really hid its deep meaning.

"But really?" Li Shimin didn't know that there was often a shortage of salt in the army, but he didn't expect that as a general, he also needed to give up the salt, and only used vinegar cloth as salt. When he saw the change in Li Jing's face, he knew that the so-called dream was real, and he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that the generals who lived and died with him lived such a hard life in the army, no wonder the issue of salt was repeatedly raised by the gods.

"I'm ashamed of the generals." Li Shimin clenched his hands into fists, and secretly decided in his heart that the problem of salt must be solved, and those generals who have the skill of following the dragon cannot be allowed to live like that, he stopped Li Jing's move to speak, stood up, straightened his back, and said loudly: "In the future, I will live up to my promise!" ”

It will live up to the promise!

These four words came from the mouth of an emperor, so that his courtiers were shocked when they heard it, isn't it such an emperor who they want to serve?

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing and Yuan Tiangang knelt down one after another, shouting His Majesty Shengming.

"Flat." Li Shimin, who noticed that he was a little excited, calmed down a little, sat back in the dragon chair, and said, "Why did General Li never mention this matter?" ”

"Such a trivial matter, I dare not bother Your Majesty." Li Jing is also bitter in his heart, this situation is actually common in the army, even if he reports to His Majesty, what can he do? It still can't be solved, so what's the point of saying it.

"It's not a dream?" Yuan Tiangang listened to the conversation between Li Shimin and Li Jing, and was immediately dumbfounded, why did he think that the words of nonsense and nonsense always had a profound meaning in the end; And what he thinks is a matter of heaven and cannot be taken lightly, when it comes to the mouth of the man, it is always inconsequential and dispensable......

Regarding the matter of vinegar cloth, it sounds really sad, and the eldest grandson Wuji can only sigh helplessly, and when he heard Yuan Tiangang ask, he immediately turned around and said: "Lord Yuan has lived in the city for a long time and doesn't know much about the situation in the army, no wonder I think what the fairy said is just a dream." ”

"What is a vinegar cloth?" Isn't it related to vinegar? At first he really thought it was some strip of cloth dipped in vinegar or something, and in his heart he thought it was ridiculous that the vinegar cloth was compared to salt, but now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that the only thing that is ridiculous is himself.

Vinegar cloth does contain vinegar, but during the march and war, it also contains salt, which is used as a substitute for table salt.

On this day, Yuan Tiangang seemed to suddenly realize his ignorance, as if he really knew too little about things other than the study of astrology and physiognomy, and he was really a national teacher and a military advisor in vain. It is said that when Li Jing gave him some things in the army, he almost knelt down and begged Li Shimin to remove him from the title of military advisor and national teacher, and he was simply unqualified.

Fortunately, after everyone talked about it and persuaded him, he dispelled that idea, and when he left the palace, a guard passed by him, and when he saw him chattering, he muttered: "I thought it was nonsense, but in fact it was full of deep meaning; I thought it contained a heavenly opportunity, but in fact, there was nothing to say...... Crazy, so-and-so is really going crazy. ”

Later, these words also reached the ears of Principal Rabbit, but he just smiled and said, "Yuan Tiangang is so powerful, how can he play if he doesn't stun him first?" ”

There were two people who were not normal that day, namely Cheng Yanjin, who appeared in the dream of the gods, and he sat alone in his room for a long, long time after hearing Li Jing's relay, and finally someone in the house heard it as if someone yelled - a certain He had cried for vinegar! A certain injustice! For several days after that, Cheng Bitingjin's subordinates in the mansion did not dare to mention the word "vinegar" in the mansion, so as not to be stimulated by their own general, although they did not know what kind of stimulation their own general had received.

Needless to say, the other one was naturally Wei Chigong, who ran out of Principal Rabbit's house, and he went to the palace to complain, but was left out by Li Shimin for a long time. Later, he was finally summoned, but before he could speak, he was reprimanded by Li Shimin and thrown out. From the beginning to the end, he didn't know exactly what was going on, only that His Majesty asked him to go back and reflect on himself, and then enter the palace the next day, not listening to him at all.
