When Li Tao heard Steward Wu's report, he was so surprised that he even dropped the book in his hand.

It happened very suddenly, without any warning in advance, Li Tao was puzzled, didn't his grandson stay in the countryside Zhuangzi honestly?

If there is any difference, I heard that more than a dozen students have been taught recently, and there are two princes among them.

Because of this incident, he was knighted, and the Son of Heaven committed a crime?

"Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on? Why was the unprovoked one knighted? Li Tao asked in a deep voice.

It's not that he's not satisfied, it's that things are happening too weirdly.

The knighthood for no reason is not necessarily a good thing for Li Qinzai and the Li family, if there is a conspiracy, Li Tao must find out the cause and effect before he can deal with it.

Wu Tong stood in front of Li Tao at a loss, thinking that the old man would be overjoyed, but he didn't expect his expression to be so solemn.

"Well, old man, the villain doesn't know why, a palace person came to the house to report the news, and the palace person is still waiting in the front yard." Wu Tong said awkwardly.

Li Tao said solemnly: "Prepare the carriage and horses, and the old man will enter the palace to face the king." ”

Half an hour later, Li Zhi and Li Tao stood side by side in the open space of the Taiji Palace, and saw with their own eyes a cannon battle exploded.

Li Tao was shocked when he saw it, and his old face was full of horror.

Li Zhi had already been mentally prepared, but his face turned pale with fright from this huge noise, but he laughed when he came back to his senses.

"Old general, I have made Sun Jue not seal it indiscriminately, and Sun is amazing!" Li Zhi hugged Li Tao's arm and smiled.

Li Tao was still shocked and said, "This thing ...... Was it made by the old minister's uncompetitive grandson? ”

"With this unicorn, how can the old general say that he is 'not angry'? Your grandson is the treasure of the Tang Dynasty, the talent of the society, this thing is made in Ganjingzhuang, I went to Zhuangzi in person yesterday, and after seeing it with my own eyes, I decided to be knighted when I returned to the palace. ”

Li Tao's expression changed several times, and after a long time, he sighed and said with a wry smile: "This grandson, the old minister can't guess him, how much ability he has hidden." ”

Li Zhi couldn't help but be curious: "Does the old general know who Jing Chu once worshipped as a teacher?" This body has a lot of skills like the Mo family, could it be that he is a disciple of the Mo family? ”

Li Tao shook his head categorically: "This son has been messing with Chang'an all the year round, fighting dogs and walking birds, fighting for the wind and being jealous, and has done many evil things, but he has never studied under anyone, and there is no hidden Mo family master in the house." ”

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and smiled: "There is no need to delve into the origin of his ability, as long as he can work for the Tang Dynasty, it is enough, Jing Chu did not disappoint me, and he has given me many surprises in the past six months, especially this gunpowder, which is a sharp weapon for the country." ”

"Your Majesty, the name of this thing is 'gunpowder'?"

"It's the name taken by Jing Chu, and the gunpowder has the power of opening mountains and cracking stones, and the old general also saw it just now. I am determined to make a large number of this thing and use it for military affairs, there is no unbreakable city in the world, and there is no invincible enemy. ”

Li Zhi was ambitious, and his words made Li Zhi's blood boil.

Li Tao immediately bowed and said: "Although the old minister is old, he is willing to use the wind and candle to conquer the Quartet for His Majesty and open up the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Zhi stared at Li Tao with burning eyes, held his hand with both hands, and said: "Old general, after the spring of next year, I have decided to go east to Goguryeo. ”

Li Tao turned his head to look at the open space that was still emitting gunsmoke, and sighed: "If there is gunpowder as a supplement, the odds of victory are less than 30%, Your Majesty, if the Tang Dynasty conquers Goguryeo again, if the old ministers lead the army in this battle, there is an eighty percent chance of winning, and Goguryeo will be included in my Tang territory." ”

Li Zhixi said: "Eighty, eighty!" Haha, it's battleable! Old general, I want to conquer Goguryeo in person, how about it? ”

Li Tao was taken aback: "Your Majesty can't!" ”

Li Zhi waved his hand to interrupt his words and said, "Don't persuade me, it was the gunpowder made by Jing Chu that gave me confidence, and I had an eighty percent chance of winning, how could I not fight in person?" ”

Li Tao looked at Li Zhi's high-spirited face in a daze, as if he understood something, so he sighed, and it was inconvenient to persuade again.

The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo was a heart disease for the three emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

Why the Crusade? Because the Sui Dynasty can't be defeated, the Tang Dynasty must fight, so as to prove to the subjects of the world that the Tang Dynasty is right, and what the Sui Dynasty can't do, I, the Tang Dynasty, can do.

During the Zhenguan period, he also conquered Goguryeo, and the results were more controversial, some people said that it was a failure, some people said that it was a tie, in short, Li Shimin returned in vain.

Now that Li Zhi is the Son of Heaven, the heart of conquering Goguryeo is becoming more and more intense.

What the first emperor didn't do, I did, and I did it beautifully, so I asked the subjects of the world if you were convinced? Do you want to say that I am not as good as the first emperor?

Li Zhi gambled on this tone.

The thoughts of the three generations of emperors to conquer Goguryeo have not been broken, and now, it has nothing to do with whether Goguryeo offended the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has regarded it as a copy that must be brushed in the game.

The task assigned by the system, regardless of whether it is righteous or evil, is over.

Li Tao pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, although the gunpowder created by Qin Zai is indeed extraordinary, but rashly knighted, I am afraid that something is wrong, while the matter has not spread, the old minister asks Your Majesty to withdraw his order......

Li Zhi said with a smile: "If you don't take it back, I have made up my mind, gunpowder is such a magical thing, if I don't give Jing Chu a meaningful reward, it will chill the heart of the hero." ”

Li Tao said in a deep voice: "There is an old minister, forgive him for not daring to chill." ”

Li Zhi laughed: "Old general, I can't rely on you in this matter, Jing Chu must be knighted, your Li family has two knights, and it can be regarded as a glorious future." ”

…………

Ganjingzhuang.

The subordinates of the Li family are packing their luggage, and the fifth young man is ready to return to Chang'an City.

The courtyard was filled with joy, and as soon as Cui Sheng, who had announced the decree, left, the courtyard was boiling and cheering.

Li Qinzai was not shocked, and only smiled at the subordinates who flocked to congratulate him.

However, the news of the knighthood of the five young men of the Li family still spread quickly throughout Zhuangzi.

Countless villagers stood outside the gate of the courtyard, each carrying a meager gift in their hands, sincerely congratulating the fifth young man on his knighthood.

Li Qinzai didn't dare to be rude to the villagers, so he took the hand of buckwheat and went out, greeted the villagers, and thanked the farmers for their kindness, and then everyone dispersed excitedly.

Taking advantage of the time when the people were packing their luggage, Li Qinzai came to the farmhouse where Cui Jie lived alone.

is about to leave Zhuangzi, leaving Cui Jie in Zhuangzi for the New Year, Li Qinzai always feels unhappy.

Standing and wandering outside the courtyard of the farmhouse, Cui Jie happened to see Li Qinzai outside the courtyard when she opened the door.

Cui Jie's pretty face unconsciously floated a little red.

A woman's blush is often better than a long piece of dialogue.

"You're here?" Cui Jie said softly.

Li Qinzai smiled wryly: "Well, I'm going back to Chang'an soon, come and talk to you." ”

A touch of loss flashed on Cui Jie's face: "You...... Will you return to Zhuangzi after the year? ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Go back, go back at the beginning of spring." ”

Cui Jie showed joy at this time, snorted lightly, and said: "Chang'an is so prosperous, why don't you stay in Chang'an and live in this poor country?" ”

Li Qinzai blinked: "The village girl in the poor countryside is very good-looking, but there is no such good-looking village girl in Chang'an City, of course I have to look at it every day to be happy." ”

Cui Jie's face became more and more red, and she said shamefully: "Deng's disciple, what a village girl, it's hard to hear." I'm not a village girl. ”

Li Qinzai was stunned: "Is your skin so thick?" When I say village girl, I don't mean you. ”

Cui Jie was also stunned, and then said angrily: "You, you...... Go and see your village girl! ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Okay, okay, since you have to fight for the name of this village girl, I'll give it to you." That's right, you're the best-looking village girl, isn't it surprising? Surprised? ”

Cui Jie said with a cold face: "I'm not a village girl, let alone a good-looking village girl." ”

"If you have to be modest, I can call you ugly Miss of the Family in the future, okay?"

Cui Jie cried angrily: "You know how to bully me!" ”

"Nonsense, don't call me so incompetent, I will not only bully you, but also others."

Cui Jie was a little broken: "Go back to Chang'an quickly, and if I talk to you a few more words, I will be angry to death." ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "Okay, I won't tease you." I have instructed the cook in the other courtyard to bring you and the maid food every day, and take a break for the New Year, don't be tired, and I will take care of the meal. ”

Saying that, Li Qinzai added uneasily: "You guys are polite to my cook, the cook has been able to do anything throughout the ages, offend him, be careful to spit in the dish......"
