Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Xiang had breakfast and went to Sinong Temple first, the crude simple greenhouse has been demolished, and at a glance there are more than a dozen large vats of green oil, and the potato seedlings are growing very well.

Wang Xiang and the group of old stubborn people in Sinong Temple naturally have nothing to say, occasionally go to Sinong Temple is also to see the potatoes and leave, at the beginning Liu Zhengyi also did superficial work, a long time will be impatient, plus the prince in addition to the first few days after did not go to Sinong Temple to supervise the potato matter, he is too lazy to do the surface effort, Wang Xiang came to inspect the potatoes when the officials of Sinong Temple should drink tea, nap, should play chess, as if Sinong Temple does not have such a person.

The entire Sinong Temple is also polite to Wang Xiang in the Chen main book, perhaps because only his grade is lower than Wang Xiang in the entire Sinong Temple, but Wang Xiang feels that it is more because he is not treated here like himself, and usually these dozen pots of potatoes are mostly taken care of by Chen Zhushu, so Wang Xiang's impression of him is still good.

"It's a pity that I didn't see Master Chen on the day I took office, but compared to the old man Chen who was eating vegetarian food inside, Master Chen is a person who can really do things."

Chen Zhushu heard Wang Xiang arrange the officials of Sinong Temple in this way, and he didn't dare to answer, so he smiled awkwardly and changed the topic and said: "I couldn't believe it when I first heard about the grain with a yield of 20 stones per mu. ”

Wang Xiang smiled and asked, "Then you are credible now?" ”

Master Chen looked at the green potato seedlings and sighed: "Later, after seeing Wang Jiancheng's improved Quyuan plough, the official began to believe it a little, but he still had some doubts, how can a big vat be able to produce so much grain in just an inch?" ”

In their opinion, grain grows on the soil, who would have thought that such a high-yield grain fruit would grow in the ground, Wang Xiang did not explain, hehe smiled: "I will see after four months." ”

At this time, the Taiji Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chi Jingde, Hou Junji...... The most powerful characters of the Tang Dynasty gathered together, and Li Shimin sat on top of it.

The efficiency of the Tang Dynasty in the war is much higher than that of the Sinong Temple, and tens of thousands of horseshoes have been secretly built in just one month, and the training of the Hundred Cavalry Battalion has also achieved initial results, and Li Jing's ability in this area is unparalleled.

Today's discussion in the Taiji Hall is the matter of the expedition to Gaochang.

The expedition to Gaochang is different from the previous petty fights, and it may not be familiar with Gaochang when it comes to it, but when it comes to the ancient country of Loulan, which "wears gold armor in a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken", it must be familiar to him, and in history, Gaochang is the successor of Loulan. Loulan prospered in the two Han Dynasty, after the gradual decline of Gaochang rise, Gaochang land is vast, large and small seventeen cities, including the exquisite, Jiaohe and other places, inherited the wind of riding and archery of the ancient country of Loulan, the folk style is fierce, the population is not large but they are brave and good at fighting, especially the Gaochang fine horseman, galloping in the desert even the fierce Turks do not dare to grasp its edge.

If it is just a Gaochang Li Shimin will not take it to heart, although Gaochang has a vast land, but most of it is a desert land and sparsely populated, after all, it is only a small country in the Western Regions, what really makes Li Shimin care is the Turks who look beyond Gaochang from the Tang Dynasty, since ancient times, the Turks have been a great disaster in all dynasties, and the Weishui Alliance is an example of shame. Although Li Jingshuai's army wiped out the shame of Weishui, the Western Turks are still a thorn in Li Shimin's chest, and the most important thing is that as an extremely martial founding emperor, Li Shimin has an extremely strong desire to restore the territory of his homeland in the Western Regions.

Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde and others quarreled with each other, they all wanted to be the commander of the expedition to Gaochang, only Li Jing was silent, he knew that Li Shimin would definitely not let him lead the army this time, and the credit of destroying ** had made him have to give up all opportunities to obtain military merits, otherwise military merits would also become murderous knives.

"Your Majesty is thinking about the Turks?" The chubby eldest grandson Wuji squinted and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, if you really regard him as a Maitreya Buddha, it can only be said that you are too sad, everyone is arguing, but he said what Li Shimin thought in his heart.

"What's wrong with the Turks, in my opinion, we should take the opportunity to destroy Gaochang and destroy the Turks in one fell swoop!" The only one who can be so bold on the main hall is Cheng Biting Jin, he was about to roll up his sleeves and have a good "theory" with Hou Junji, when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he immediately let out a bold statement.

"Exterminate the Turks?" Hou Junji sneered: "Don't be afraid of flashing your tongue when you speak, you are a weak and small country like Gaochang when the Turks are in charge, and your command of the army will definitely spoil Your Majesty's big things." ”

"Say that my old Cheng is bad for Your Majesty? Come, let me have a good talk with you. Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin was about to roll up his sleeves again, Li Shimin had a headache.

Li Shimin has a habit, every time he discusses the war, except for the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, he does not like the presence of other civil officials, in his opinion, those civil officials who did not fight the world with themselves are afraid of war in their bones, and most of the countermeasures in the Western Regions are friendly and negotiable, Li Shimin is very disdainful of this, and once reprimanded the civil officials who proposed the policy of peace with the main hall: "Han can govern the Western Regions, why can't the Tang Dynasty!" In Li Shimin's heart, he can also do what Emperor Wu of Han can do, and he can do better.

Without those civil officials, Cheng Yanjin and others had no scruples as when they were in the Qin Palace, and it was common for them to fight on the spot when they were excited, and everyone was obviously used to such messy polemics, and they all looked at it with great interest and didn't come forward to pull the fight.

"Bite the gold, don't mess around."

Hearing this person speak, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, his words were more effective than his own words as an emperor, sure enough, Cheng Yanjin listened to Qin Qiong's words and reluctantly put away his fists, but the eyes that looked at Hou Junji were still very unkind, and he had never had a good impression of Hou Junji.

"Turkic ......" Li Shimin whispered, and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled.

"The prince asks for a new meeting."

Everyone was figuring out the holy will, and suddenly they were puzzled when they heard the eunuch's report: Prince Xin? What did he come to do?

Li Shimin was also a little surprised, let him learn from Empress Changsun, what did he come here for?

"Let him in."

In fact, Wang Xiang is really depressed, Li Shimin only said that he would enter the palace to study with the eldest grandson queen, but he didn't say anything to learn, whether he wanted to bring his own pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I don't know, the biggest problem is that the palace back garden is a forbidden place, and the Lizheng Hall where the eldest grandson queen lives is a forbidden place in the forbidden land, not to mention that he is a seven-grade supervisor, even the first time he helps the eldest grandson to check his condition, he followed Li Er, and after thinking about it, he still thinks that he should find Li Er first.

As soon as he entered the Taiji Palace, Wang Xiang was frightened by the formation in front of him, all the military bigwigs were there, and there were two unfamiliar faces, a smiling fat man, and a middle-aged man with a clear face, but looking at the position of the two of them, it seemed that they were standing higher than Li Jing and others, and their status was obviously not low.

When Wang Xiang was observing the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji was also observing him, this person seemed to appear out of nowhere, not that Wang Xiang had not appeared before, but that he had risen too suddenly, Li Chengqian had mentioned the name Wang Zixin to him many times, and his sister's qi disease was also relieved because of this person's pills, and it was this expedition to Gaochang, and there was also the shadow of this person behind it.

Wang Xiang saw the Taiji Hall for the first time, looking left and right with a very curious look, without the slightest fear of seeing the emperor, Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and asked, "Wang Zixin, what are you doing?" ”

What? Ask me what to do? Didn't you let me go into the palace to study with the queen, wouldn't I forget it so quickly?

Wang Xiang arched his hand and said: "Didn't Your Majesty let me start to enter the palace every day to study with the queen's mother, if there is no such thing, the minister will go home." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling both jumped when they heard this, although it is not popular to bow down in Datang, but you are too casual.

Li Shimin didn't care about Wang Xiang's casualness, his appearance made Li Shimin feel relieved, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Let you study with the queen, what are you doing if you don't go to the Lizheng Hall and go to the Taiji Palace?"

Wang Xiang couldn't help but habitually roll his eyes when he heard this, which scared everyone in the hall, he probably didn't realize what he had done, this was the first time that someone dared to roll his eyes at Li Er.

"Your Majesty, the Lizheng Hall is the back garden of the palace, can I enter it casually?"

Li Shimin was stunned and said: "This is my negligence, I will give you a sign." ”

Turning around, Wang Xiang arched his hand and said, "The minister will go back first." ”

I thought I didn't need to study today, but I didn't expect Li Shimin to say: "Wait on the side first, and I will take you over after the state affairs are discussed." ”

"Your Majesty is talking about state affairs, I don't listen to it......"

"It doesn't matter."

Li Shimin waved his hand and no longer paid attention to Wang Xiang, but turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Auxiliary, how about you talk about the Turks?" ”

Wang Xiang stood below embarrassedly, and when he saw Cheng biting Jin Chao's recruitment, he walked up to him and stood down.

"Zixin, tell me why Your Majesty asked you to study with the queen?"

"I don't know what's going on, the fruits and vegetables grown in my village are still lacking in people to take care of them, besides, how can I learn from the queen when the Dengxian Building opens."

Hearing Wang Xiang's complaint, Qin Qiong, who was standing on Cheng Yanjin's side, suddenly had black lines on his head, and in his eyes, melons, fruits, vegetables and the opening of a restaurant were more important than learning from the queen.

Lao Cheng listened but didn't think there was anything wrong, nodded and said, "Send me a few baskets of fruits and vegetables when they are ripe." ”

What can Wang Xiang say about Cheng Yanjin's request, he can only nod and agree.

Lao Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly found that Hou Junji was looking at this side, and asked Wang Xiang with a cold snort: "Your Majesty wants to send troops to Gaochang this time, do you think it is better for the old man to lead the army or Hou Junji to lead the army?" ”
