Chapter 14: Lingyan Pavilion

Chang'an, heavy snowfall, snow a few inches, a group of silver.

Although the weather is cold, it cannot extinguish the passion of the people, and the streets are full of people coming and going, and the people are smiling.

This year was a bumper harvest for the Tang Dynasty: first, it conquered Xiaobolu and cut off the passage of Tibet's westward advance; This was followed by the great victory of Hehuang, and the 100,000 Tubo army was completely annihilated by the Tang Dynasty; Next, Shibao City was captured by the Tang Army, and Dafeichuan was recovered, one by one, one by one, which made the people unspeakably happy.

When the snow fell, the people took to the streets to congratulate each other, and the joyful atmosphere was full of red fire.

More than ten miles west of Chang'an, there is a steep slope.

This is a wilderness, originally few people came, but now it is very lively, there are nearly 100 people gathered here, led by Li Changguo and the crown prince Li Heng.

The rest were guards and craftsmen.

"How does this work?" Li Heng looked at the sled, was very puzzled, and asked Li Changguo.

"I'll try it once, and the prince will know." Li Changguo didn't talk nonsense, stood on the sled, and was ready to finish.

"Let's go!" Li Changguo snorted softly, and the sled rushed out like an arrow from the string, and Li Changguo stood firmly on the sled, as straight as a javelin.

Skiing is commonplace for Li Changguo, although he is skiing in the Tang Dynasty, he is still familiar with the road, his movements are extremely agile, and after a while, he will slide out of the distance.

"Good!"

A burst of colorful sounds sounded, and the eyes of the crown prince Li Heng and them all lit up, as if they had found a diorama.

Skiing is Li Changguo's hobby, in another time and space there is no less skiing, came to the Tang Dynasty for a long time without skiing, the interest is great, a big S-shaped trajectory appears, very beautiful.

"Good!"

Prince Li Xiang applauded again.

Li Changguo tried his best to enjoy the passion of skiing, which provoked Li Heng and them to applaud, and the sound was like thunder, and the sound couldn't stop ringing.

was on the rise, but it had slipped down the hillside, and Li Changguo had to regain his momentum.

The crown prince Li Hengfei also ran down, his eyes lit up, his hands were on the sled, and he said impatiently: "Let me play!" Let me play. ”

For the crown prince Li Heng, skiing is very novel, and he can't wait to ski like Li Changguo.

"Prince, skiing is not so easy to learn, there are many skills." Li Changguo understood his feelings, but he was worried that he would fall. This is the crown prince, if there are three long and two short, the consequences are unimaginable.

"It's fine!" Li Heng didn't care at all, and said, "I'm not weak, although I don't have a strong physique like you, it's not too bad." Datang boy, who hasn't been beaten? ”

On the contrary, Li Changguo gave him some tips, and Li Heng ran up with a sled and learned to ski with Li Changguo.

Where to think of it, a hard work, a stumble, almost planted. The prince was not convinced, and tried again, but he fell headlong on the snow and fell on his back, which was very unsightly.

"Prince, you can sit on it and try it first." Li Changguo mentioned again.

Li Heng nodded, sat on the sled, and slid down, very quickly, and was very happy.

Soon, Li Heng slid down the slope, got up from the sled, and smiled at Li Changguo: "Good idea, with this sled, the warriors of the Tang Dynasty can save a lot of effort." ”

The reason why Li Changguo wanted to supervise the construction of sleds was to save the physical strength of the soldiers.

It is conceivable that once they set out, they will inevitably march in the ice and snow in the rocky mountains, and there are too many hardships and dangers to count, and if they can save their physical strength, it will be a supreme thing.

That's why sleds are so important. When going downhill, each person has a sled and slides down the mountain, which saves a lot of physical strength compared to walking downhill.

"What the prince said is very true." Li Changguo nodded.

"Li Changguo, have you noticed that this sled is a little bigger." Li Heng groaned and said, "Sitting on it, there are still a lot of gaps, and the sled will be heavier, which will consume your strength in vain." ”

This sled is different from a normal sled, it is much larger, but if it is human, it is completely unnecessary.

"The prince doesn't know, the reason why I want to do so big is to give my brothers a respite." Li Changguo explained: "Prince, please think about it, marching in the ice and snow must be very tiring and consume a lot of strength. When it comes to going downhill, people sit on sleds, put their equipment on them, and slide down the hillside, can they save a lot of effort? ”

The Tang army has a lot of equipment, and marching with equipment on its back will definitely consume a lot of strength, and if it is put on a sled and slides down, it can save a lot of strength.

"Great idea!" Li Heng suddenly praised loudly.

"It's a good sled, and it would be even better if it could be lighter." Li Changguo raised his eyebrows and pointed out its shortcomings.

Marching in the stone mountain, the consumption of physical strength is very large, and it is very important to find ways to save physical strength, even if it is light three or two catties.

"Done! I want the Ordnance Superintendent to ponder this matter again. The crown prince Li Heng agreed very happily.

Next, it was Li Changguo who taught Li Heng to ski. Li Heng was particularly concerned about this matter, and humbly asked for advice, Li Changguo taught seriously, Li Heng learned attentively, and soon mastered some skiing skills, skiing with the help of Li Changguo, having a lot of fun, and laughing from time to time.

Perhaps, this is the happiest moment in Li Heng's life.

However, when he was on the rise, something happened to disappoint him, and he saw Gao Lishi galloping over, and Li Changguo and Li Heng knew that he must have something important to do, so they hurriedly greeted him.

Gao Lishi came closer, flew off his horse, glanced at Li Heng, was a little displeased, and reminded: "Prince, how can you do such a pleasure?" ”

Li Longji was very ambitious and had a very high vision, and he was very dissatisfied with his group of sons, saying that none of them were like him. Li Heng can become the prince, he is a tall man in the short man, and a flagpole in the chopsticks, once this kind of amusement is spread, someone will inevitably slander Li Heng, it is difficult to say whether the position of the prince can be kept, Gao Lishi is kind.

"Uncle Gao, you have wronged me." Li Heng is no different from the younger generation of Gaolis, as long as it is not a formal occasion, Li Heng calls him uncle: "This is not fun, but a piece of equipment, we are trying it out." ”

"Really?" Gao Lishi was still a little unconvinced, and looked at Li Changguo.

"General Gao, what the prince said is true." Li Changguo nodded heavily, and his tone was firm, so that people did not dare to doubt.

"Well, I trust you!" Gao Lishi looked at Li Changguo and believed that Li Changguo was not lying, so he said: "Your Majesty wants to see you, enter the palace quickly." ”

Gao Lishi is a celebrity beside Li Longji, sending him out, this matter must be very important, Li Heng hurriedly asked: "Uncle Gao, does my father have a will?" ”

"I don't know." Colliers shook his head and urged, "Hurry up." ”

Li Changguo flew on his horse and went straight to Chang'an with the prince and Gao Lishi.

More than ten miles away, but at tea time, I soon arrived in Chang'an, entered the palace, and followed Gao Lishi to the Linde Palace.

Li Longji sat on the throne, sipping tea, his eyes half-open and half-closed, leisurely tight.

Li Changguo and the others hurried back, originally thinking that there was something big, but where did they think of it, they were so surprised.

Li Longji Li Changguo beckoned and said, "Li Changguo, come quickly." ”

"Your Majesty." Li Changguo saluted.

"Excuse me! Excuse me! Li Longji waved his hand to stop Li Changguo from saluting, and asked straight to the point: "Li Changguo, I heard that you are making a kind of equipment called sleds in the ordnance superintendent, what is the use?" ”

Li Heng hurriedly presented the sled, Li Longji took it in his hand, looked at it for a long time, and didn't see the reason.

Li Changguo gave him an explanation.

"Good way!" Li Longji bowed slightly, and said with great appreciation: "Li Changguo, if you can prepare so carefully, there is a greater chance of success in this battle." As you move, the rocky mountains are snowy and icy, and every step forward requires a lot of effort, and you have to do everything you can to save it. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "There is a sled on the downhill slope, which can save energy, and there is a way to save effort on the uphill slope?" Li Changguo, you know, it's extremely difficult to go uphill. Especially uphill in the ice and snow, if you don't do well, you will slip and fall, and you will think of a way to prevent slipping? ”

Li Longji was so shrewd that he even thought of this kind of thing, Li Changguo had to admire, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the method of going uphill and anti-slip is also simple, and you can wrap your feet with cloth." If you don't have a cloth, you can also pull some mountain vines, which can be wrapped around your feet to prevent slipping. ”

"Lots of ideas!" Li Longji nodded slightly and said, "You have prepared very carefully, and I am very relieved." I'll help you again! Let's go, go to Lingyan Pavilion. ”

"Lingyan Pavilion?" Lee Chang Guoda was amazed.

The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are famous through the ages, and the descendants don't know who they do, and who doesn't know?

It can be said that Lingyan Pavilion is the "holy land" of the Tang Dynasty, if you can shape Lingyan Pavilion, if life is like this, what regrets will you have?

Li Longji stood up, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked in his head.

Li Changguo and the crown prince Li Heng hurriedly followed.

Lingyan Pavilion is next to the Sanqing Palace, it is not big, it is inconspicuous at first glance, but it is heavily guarded, and dozens of dragon martial forces are guarded, which shows that Lingyan Pavilion is an important surname in the Tang Dynasty.

When they came to Lingyan Pavilion, Long Wujun saluted, Li Longji waved his hand to stop them, and strode into the head, Li Changguo and they hurriedly followed.

As soon as he entered the Lingyan Pavilion, a solemn aura came to his face, and Li Changguo couldn't help but puff up his chest and raise his head.

"Go to the Secret Room." Li Longji rushed to the eunuch who took care of the Lingyan Pavilion.

"The Secret Room?" The eunuch was surprised.

"Your Majesty, the minister has heard the names of the twenty-four heroes of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, can the minister pay respects?" The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are famous, and countless descendants admire them, and if they can't pay their respects to Lingyan Pavilion, it is too regrettable.

"Li Changguo, Hugh is talking nonsense." Gao Lishi's face sank, and he said: "The image of the twenty-four meritorious heroes is not allowed to be admired by the cadres who have made great contributions." Although you have an inch, you are still far from being able to pay respects. ”

Twenty-four meritorious heroes, which one is not a meritorious achievement, a hundred battles successful?

Like Li Jing, Xu Maogong, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, their contributions far exceed those of Li Changguo.

Li Changguo is very dazzling, and it can be said that he is a rapidly rising star, however, compared with these famous heroes through the ages, he is still far away.

"Hmm!" Li Longji took the right foot back, his eyes burned, stared at Li Changguo, and said with a slight smile: "Okay!" I'll accompany you on a tour of Lingyan Pavilion. ”
