Chapter 229: Li Shimin's foresight
What is calcium?
Wu Erniang asked very attentively, so naturally she couldn't help but answer.
So Xie Yi used a popular term that he thought was popular to popularize chemical elements and biological nutrition for "Her Majesty the Empress".
I thought that these complicated and boring things would cause trouble to the girl, but unexpectedly, Wu Er Niangzi listened to it with relish, was very interested, and was extremely involved.
Xie Yi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did he unintentionally send the empress to the path of a female scholar?
In line with the principle of going with the flow, since Wu Erniang is interested and has a strong desire for knowledge, Xie Yi naturally can't help but teach, so there will be more contact with each other.
For Wu Erniang, the world seems to have opened a new door, maybe it was boring for too long, so she fell into it all of a sudden, so that she reached the point of worshipping Xie Yi as a teacher.
Xie Yi himself was still noncommittal, Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan objected to all kinds of things, and then hurriedly stopped them.
The master-apprentice title is not a joke, especially a pair of men and women who are not much different in age, have many connections, and have potential development possibilities.
Although Xie Yi swears now, who knows what will happen in the future? You can't do anything to be cocooned, at least the two ladies firmly disagree.
Wu Er Niangzi didn't care much, but Xie Yi himself was slightly embarrassed, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any crooked thoughts, but a pretty girl like a flower and jade is constantly swaying in front of you, and the frequency is very high, making a man with strong blood completely indifferent, and it seems a little difficult.
If it weren't for Xie Yi's deliberate restraint, there would be two other flower-like beauties around him, and after a long time, maybe it would really be possible......
On the first day home, the fatigue of the journey was completely gone, only the happiness of the newlywed. The love is lingering.
At the same time, Xie Yi did not dare to forget his identity, and when he returned from the mission, he had to go to the emperor and make an explanation.
But coincidentally, when Xie Yi and Di Zhixun returned, Li Shimin happened to go to the mausoleum to worship Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan. It was not in Chang'an City, so there was a rare two-day holiday.
After two days of glue-like paint, Xie Yi had to get up early and go to the Chengqing Hall of Taiji Palace to see His Majesty.
How so? It is difficult to define whether this mission was a success or a failure, Xue Yantuo did not send troops in the end, but there were many thrills in it, and the task of the envoy was not well completed.
But the final decision is in the hands of Xue Yantuo, even if there is a real accident, it does not necessarily mean that the envoys do not work hard. Diplomacy has always been backed by national strength, and it is also necessary to pay attention to the right time, place and people, both ancient and modern.
Anyway, it was Xie Yi's idea to push Ence, and it was also implemented according to the arrangement of the imperial court, as for the effect, it can be regarded as somewhat. Although magnanimity is set to be questioned, it seems that there is no situation where two sons compete for the throne. But it also played a role.
The rise of the Turks and the defection of the Western Turks are more or less related to this. Now though there is no brother to fight. But there are many concubines, and there are many sons. When the time comes, if there is any dirt between the eldest brother and the younger brother, the effect will be even more interesting.
What's more, even though there is no sibling symbol, the suspicion of father and son has always existed and has a tendency to intensify. Judging from the information he has, Yi Nan's wariness of sudden profit loss has strengthened a lot.
In this way, it can also be handed over to the imperial court, and the task is basically completed.
What's more, the two envoys fled thousands of miles and went through hardships and dangers. almost died on the Xue Yantuo grassland, and almost sacrificed his life for the country. Or is it the same sentence, there is no merit and hard work, is it appropriate to be too careful?
Theoretically, this is true, but the facts tell Xie Yi that he should never underestimate the bottom line of others, and the degree of brazenness.
He never expected that before he returned to Chang'an, some officials would impeach, claiming that Xie Yi and Di Zhixun had left hundreds of guards in the mission and fled alone.
It is a very despicable behavior to abandon your companions and escape alone, and as an envoy, such behavior is even more detrimental to the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, causing unnecessary suspicion, and causing rumors on the border.
I have to say that this imperial historian is quite imaginative, and the responsibility for the mobilization of soldiers and horses in Bingzhou and Lingzhou also falls on Xie Yi and Di Zhixun.
In the pen of this official, this envoy did not have the merit of size, but damaged the power of Datang Tianwei everywhere, brought harm to Datang, and needed to be held accountable. There are even rhetoric claiming that Xie Yi and Di Zhixun have been missing for a long time, and whether they will collude with the Western Turks.
All in all, the speakers' brains are very open, and their imagination is quite rich. But what can you say? Chasing after the wind and catching shadows, it is the power of the official to hear about it, and even the emperor can't easily ask questions, and others don't dare to say anything.
Before entering Chang'an, Xie Yi heard such rumors, and after exchanging glances with Di Zhixun, he didn't care about it and left it behind.
In the past two days since I returned to Chang'an, I have loved and enjoyed myself, where do I remember such a thing. It wasn't until he wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor at this time that he remembered that he was not worried that Li Shimin would use these things to ask about the crime, but the king's heart was unpredictable, and it was unknown what His Majesty Li Er's attitude was, so he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
At the gate of the palace, Xie Yi met Di Zhixun.
Two days after returning home, Di Shilang returned to his former image of a gentle scholar, and there was still a red light on his face. As a man, he can fully understand that this must be the credit of Mrs. Di.
"Thank you, Bachelor." Seeing Xie Yi, Di Zhixon stepped forward to greet him warmly.
Xie Yi smiled and asked, "Di Shilang, how are these two days?" ”
"That's nature, sleeping outside the wind and eating in the open, the day is not safe, and going home is safe and comfortable, sharing the family with relatives, naturally it is excellent." Di Zhixun smiled: "Xiaoyao's complexion is also much better. ”
"That's nature." The two laughed, and some of the words were naturally tacit.
"By the way, Xiaoyao, the matter of Xiao'er entering the Jin Palace......" Di Zhixun obviously heard his wife talk about the meeting between Li Zhi and Di Renjie that day, so he took this matter to heart.
Xie Yi had a sudden idea that day, and said it casually, but since he said it, the other party still cared so much, so he naturally wanted to pay attention.
"Di Shilang, don't worry, this matter is in my heart, but I can't be in a hurry, I have been to the Jin Palace, and I will talk about it after I have met His Majesty and several masters."
"Hmm. There is Rausanburo bothered. Di Zhixon naturally trusted Xie Yi a lot, and he also knew that it was not easy to facilitate this matter.
Xie Yi said: "Ling Lang is smart, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a very good impression of him, Di Shilang's hard work, Your Majesty sees it, as long as the timing is right." It's not difficult to become a beautiful thing, and wait for the good news. ”
Di Zhixun really had a lot of hopes for this matter, especially after his son followed Li Zhi, the king of Jin, into and out of the palace several times, he looked forward to it more and more. After thanking Xie Yi again, Di Zhixun opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he stopped talking.
Mrs. Di told him about the marriage of her children, and wanted him to ask about marrying Xie Xiaoman, thinking about it. Di Zhixon felt that it was a little too abrupt, and in the end he was too embarrassed to speak.
Marriage is destined, if there is this fate, you don't have to say anything to make it beautiful. But if you speak rashly, it is very likely to embarrass each other, but it will backfire, Di Zhixon is a well-informed person, so he will naturally not be abrupt.
It just so happened that the chamberlain came to announce the summons. Please enter the Chengqing Hall for an audience.
In front of the steps into the hall, I happened to meet several princes, the lame prince Li Chengqian, and the king of Wei, Li Tai. It was probably the end of the year, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, returned to Chang'an, but he never saw Li Zhi, the king of Jin.
Maybe there is something today, Li Shimin only summoned a few older princes, this situation is not surprising at all.
met head-on, after seeing Xie Yi. The expressions of the three princes were slightly different. The crown prince Li Chengqian was naturally a little displeased, and even a little regretful, he heard that Xie Yi might die in the grassland, not to mention how happy he was.
Unfortunately, the end result is thrilling. In the end, I returned to Chang'an safely and stood in front of myself to be an eyesore, what a pity!
Li Chengqian subconsciously clenched his fists, he didn't have a good face, and almost brushed his sleeves away. Wu Wang Li Ke had a gentle expression, but he just nodded lightly, without a superfluous word, and turned to leave.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, laughed softly: "Di Shilang and Master Xie have returned safely, congratulations." ”
"His Royal Highness King Xie Wei."
"You're polite, my father is waiting inside, let's go in!" Li Tai smiled, and watched Xie Yi's back enter the Chengqing Palace, his eyes gradually becoming a little complicated. Immediately, he clapped his hands lightly and dragged his fat body down the steps slowly.
In front of the Chengqing Palace, under the king's nose, it is okay to greet the prince a few words, and it is inappropriate to say too many words, which is taboo.
Everyone grasped this degree very well, Xie Yi and Di Zhixun were also very cautious, and after bidding farewell to the three princes, they hurriedly entered the Chengqing Hall under the guidance of the inner servant.
After a few months, when he saw Li Shimin again, Xie Yi only felt that His Majesty Li Er's face seemed to have a little vicissitudes of life. In layman's terms, it's a bit old.
After all, it is no longer a year of confusion, and there are still so many government affairs to deal with every day, and it is certain that you will age quickly. What's more, in recent months, a new group of young concubines have been added to the palace, and His Majesty Li Er has to work harder, and it is reasonable that his mind is tired and vicissitudes.
"See Your Majesty!" Di Zhixun and Xie Yi walked to the front of the imperial case and saluted in unison.
Li Shimin put down the questionnaire in his hand, raised his head and swept over the faces of Xie Yi and Di Zhixun, and stared at them for a moment before saying softly: "This time, the two Qing families have suffered. ”
The marks of chilblains on his face that have not been completely eliminated, as well as the traces left by the wind, sand, frost and snow are still very obvious, and they cannot be faked.
It was this sigh that set the tone, Xie Yi and Di Zhixun both breathed a sigh of relief, His Majesty the Emperor had such an attitude, and the impeachment of the Yanguan had become a joke. It's hard to say whether there will be great merit and rich rewards, but it will definitely not be punished if you ask for the guilt.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, not bitter!" Dicchison's answer was modest and decent.
"Bitterness is not bitterness, I know it in my heart." Li Shimin looked at the two of them for another moment, and said in a low voice: "Di Qing is becoming more and more stable, and he is free...... Matured a lot. ”
Xie Yi is not yet twenty years old, he is really young, and after this experience, Xie Yi's original youthful face has indeed matured a lot.
"How? Tell me more about the situation on the grassland? Li Shimin said softly: "Although it is written on the song, after all, the pen and ink are limited, and the description is not detailed enough, I still want to hear you talk about it carefully." ”
"Yes!" Di Zhixon and Xie Yi said yes, and told His Majesty Li Er in detail what they had seen and heard on the grassland, especially some details related to military and politics.
Of course, neither of them was modest, unmodestly speaking of the dangers they encountered, but they did not exaggerate, and they did not need to exaggerate. After all, the real experience is very dangerous, and there is no need to exaggerate and embellish, His Majesty the Emperor knows it.
Li Shimin listened very carefully, and when he heard the detailed description of Zhenzhu Khan Yinan himself and Xue Yantuo, he would memorize and analyze it very carefully; When he heard that the Western Turks were mixed in, he would be a little indignant, and when he heard the thrilling encounter between Xie Yi and Di Zhixun, he would frown, and his expression would be subconsciously nervous.
"So, Yi Nan is looking forward and backward and indecisive?" Although he has been dealing with him for many years, Li Shimin has never seen this opponent, and he has only learned information from ordinary information, and his understanding may not be comprehensive and profound. Xie Yi and Di Zhixon had in-depth contact with Yi Nan, so their understanding of nature was more detailed, and their statements were more credible.
"Yes!" Xie Yi said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, this time it is precisely because of Yi Nan's gentleness that there is no danger, if Yi Nan is more decisive, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Well, military affairs are changing rapidly, and hesitation is a big taboo, just for this point, Yi Nan is not a concern." Li Shimin's expression suddenly became much more relaxed, and he didn't look at his opponent at all.
Di Zhixun said: "Yes, Yi Nan is not the male master, I am afraid that he can't even compare with the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks in the past, and he really doesn't deserve His Majesty's high opinion." ”
"And what about his youngest son, Tuli's loss?" Li Shimin immediately asked with concern, a king is not good, but if he has an excellent heir, it will be very terrible in the future. Li Shimin obviously doesn't want his son to have a strong opponent, especially when his son is not as good as himself.
Tu Li is naturally much stronger than his brother Dadu, this person has a lot of understanding of the Central Plains culture, but the pattern is too small after all, and the franchise conspiracy is difficult to become a big tool.
Xie Yi gave his own conclusion, and judging from the contact on the grassland, it was indeed the case.
Tu Li lost more often than not, he cared about his immediate interests, he was too tactful, lacked enough courage and heroic determination, and it was not false to say that he was difficult to achieve.
What's more, in history, the tribe of Xue Yantuo seems to be just a flash in the pan, and it seems that it has never appeared after Zhenguan.
Yi Nan still has some reputation, but Tu Li seems to be unknown and has nothing to do, so what is there to worry about?
Li Shimin glanced at Xie Yi and asked, "Are you sure to be like this?" ”
Xie Yi said: "The minister is determined, it is difficult to make a big mistake in sudden profit, if it is actually appropriate, my Datang will directly send troops to destroy Xue Yantuo, and Your Majesty will no longer have to worry about it." (To be continued......)
