Chapter 147: First Sight of Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl
Li Shimin turned his head!
Tears rained down in an instant.
……
"Dad, do a good job, the child is optimistic about you!"
"In this world, the people are the most difficult, we must treat the people well,........."
"Father, there is a rod and scale between heaven and earth, and the scale is the common people'......"
Li Gen's words kept echoing in Li Shimin's ears!
"Good!"
"I take back the money."
"The people have worked hard all day, everyone hurry up and go home to rest!"
Li Shimin wiped away his tears, turned his head, smiled and said loudly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
The sound of the mountains roaring and the tsunami resounded throughout Chang'an City.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
After watching the people get up, they continued to prostrate and leave with loud cheers and shouts.
What was left on the ground was piles of copper plates.
Li Shimin's mood could not be calmed for a long time.
"The order goes down, before the people leave Chang'an City, the twelve city gates in the east, west, north and south, don't close them for the time being!"
"Today's curfew time is postponed by half an hour!"
Li Shimin calculated the time, and there was not much left before the curfew time.
"Your Majesty, your minister, I have never cried like a child like today!"
"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, it is really a good story for the ages!"
Wei Zheng bowed his head with tears in his eyes.
Li Shimin looked left and right, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, their eyes were red and swollen.
"All the secretaries have worked hard, let's go back to our homes to rest!"
"Leave the household department Shangshu Dugu Yanyun, responsible for supervision, and put the money in the warehouse!"
After listening to Li Shimin's words, the officials gave a salute and retired.
Li Shimin and Dugu Yanyun explained a few words, and also returned to the palace with Empress Changsun.
"Erlang, Guanyin is really happy for you!"
Boarding the Son of Heaven's car, the tears that the eldest grandson queen endured finally rolled down in big drops.
"Erlang is dedicated to the people, and finally got today's fruit."
Li Shimin held the hand of Empress Eldest Sun and nodded with a smile.
He knew he wasn't doing enough.
Moreover, most of the credit for all this is in it.
This night.
Many people are doomed to sleepless nights.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun tossed and turned.
Inside the manor in the south of the city.
It's still a hot labor scene.
Even Wu Cao was carrying a bamboo basket to pick up sweet potatoes.
From time to time, I took a small piece and wiped the mud vigorously on my clothes, and then I took a few bites.
The crisp and sweet taste made the little girl's big eyes squint.
Wu Cao doesn't like to nibble on large sweet potatoes, and always feels that there are no small pieces of sweetness.
"Let's work harder, there is still more than one acre of land, and we will have all harvested."
"The kitchen of the school and the kitchen of the manor have stewed large pieces of meat, and after finishing work, everyone will have a good meal!"
Listening to Li Gen's words, the young men cheered with joy!
belongs to Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqi, and they are the most happy.
However, the two boys are really good at work.
No effort at all!
The hands were blistered with blood, and they didn't blink their eyes, and they really inherited the ruthlessness of their fathers.
"Division commander, Wu Cao picked up a basket of sweet potatoes again, isn't it amazing?"
"Wu Cao is really powerful, much more powerful than your sister Lele, you sister Lele, you are so tired that you don't want to move!"
Changle is indeed tired, after all, he has lived a life of fine clothes and food since he was a child.
Although a few months ago, I also harvested sweet potatoes once, but that time it took several days to harvest slowly.
Today, I suddenly want to finish all the harvest, and the little girl is quite energetic at the beginning, and she wilts when she does it!
When the entire sweet potato field is harvested.
Li Gen asked Chai Lingwu to lead the young people of the academy to go back first, and told them to sleep well after eating and drinking enough.
Zhao Si and Feng Wu led everyone in the manor to store all the harvested sweet potatoes in the cellar.
Early the next morning.
The teenagers who were busy all day yesterday are alive and well one by one.
Li Gen canceled his morning run and asked everyone to carry all the sweet potato seedlings to the pig barn, sheep barn, cow barn and stable.
At this moment, Taiji Palace, Xiande Palace.
Li Shimin is receiving congratulations from the ministers!
Yesterday there was a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes.
The scene outside the Suzaku Gate is also known to everyone!
Wei Zheng made a tearful statement and retracted what he had said.
Guilty of his own edict!
Since then, it has become a thing of the past.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although we have experienced a major drought and locust plague this year, the problem of lack of food for the people has been fundamentally solved."
"I am very relieved, yesterday the army of 100,000 helped the people harvest sweet potatoes, what an exciting scene!"
"Tuyuhun and the Turks, raiding my salt works and blocking my salt road, I think that now I can start thinking about how to clean them up."
"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"
The officials are not good at stubble!
Even many civilian officials are militants!
Of course, this belligerence does not mean that they like to fight, but that they dare to go on the field and kill the enemy.
Only after the alliance of Weishui.
It's been a year now.
In just one year, hundreds of officials suddenly discovered a problem.
Your Majesty is rich!
And it's quite a lot of money.
Yesterday's scene outside the Suzaku Gate was witnessed by many officials.
If they hadn't seen the money, they had seen it with their own eyes.
I don't believe it, this is what His Majesty used in exchange for sweet potatoes for the people.
If Li Shimin knew the thoughts of many officials at this moment, he would definitely laugh.
That's just Lao Tzu's change.
A lot of gold and silver ingots, take them out to scare you to death!
Involved in the war!
The court meeting took place for two hours.
After deliberation among the ministers, Li Shimin considered it carefully and decided to send Li Jing and Hou Junji to send troops to Tuguhun.
After cleaning up Tuyuhun, if the soldiers are strong and strong, then clean up the Jieli dog thief!
"The army rested for a while, and after ten days, I and the hundred officials personally served the soldiers."
"Ministers, obey Your Majesty's instructions!"
The officials left the Hall of Virtue with high morale.
Only Li Jing, who was about to take command of the expedition, stayed.
"The pharmacist has something to say?"
Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Li Jing hesitated for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty, the pharmacist is a long way to go, I don't know when I will be able to return to Chang'an City, I want to go to the Champion Academy to see the second son of the virtue award."
Li Shimin smiled when he heard this.
"Okay, after lunch, the pharmacist will go."
"However, if Lantian Hou asks, the pharmacist will truthfully reveal the matter of this expedition to Tuyuhun."
"If he has any suggestions, you might as well listen to them."
Li Jing agreed, and after Shi Li retired, Li Shimin immediately sent Li Junxian to take the Emperor Taishang and Changle back to the palace.
After all, the two of them have been living in the manor for a while this time.
The first class in the afternoon was taught by Kong Yingda.
Li Gen was in the room and taught Wu Cao his homework.
Suddenly, four dogs barked and ran towards the gate of the manor.
Before Li Gen left the room, there was a sound of light outside.
"Master Hou, there are two people outside, the man calls himself Li Jing, the acting prince, and the woman calls herself the Red Whisk Girl, come to meet Lord Hou!"
Li Gen listened.
Strode out.
The visit of the Tang Dynasty military god and his wife is exciting to think about.
"The younger Li Gen has seen the Duke and Mrs. Daiguo."
Walking out of the gate of the manor, Li Gen immediately said respectfully.
"Lantian Hou is polite, the old man came with his wife today to ask Lantian Hou."
"Dai Guogong, please inside."
Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl followed Li Gen to the manor.
The manor is very quiet inside, and it is indeed a good place to study your schoolwork.
After entering the room, Wu Cao greeted him warmly.
"Uncle Pharmacist, Aunt Red Whisk, why are you here?"
"Hey, you're Xiao Xiao'er? How did you end up in the mansion of the Marquis of Lantian? ”
Li Jing's eyes widened in disbelief.
Last time, Wu Shi Tong came to Chang'an City to plan, and once took Wu Cao to Li Jing's mansion as a guest.
Unexpectedly, this little girl didn't return to Jingzhou with Wu Shitong.
"Wu Cao stayed to study with his teacher, so he didn't return to Jingzhou with his father."
Chunmei and Chunlan, the tea is served.
Li Gen warmly invited, Li Jing and the red whisk girl drank tea.
"Marquis of Lantian, today Your Majesty has decided to let me take command of the expedition, and the troops will send out to Tuguhun in ten days."
"I don't know when I will be able to return to Chang'an City, so I brought the Red Whisk Girl and wanted to come and see the child of the German Award."
Li Jing took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and spoke.
"Dai Guogong, why is Your Majesty in such a hurry to attack Tuyuhun?"
Li Gen was very puzzled in his heart, and followed the trend of history.
The ninth year of Zhenguan is the year when Li Jing broke Tuguhun.
Even if the army arrived in Tuyuhun for two years, it would have been seven years in advance!
It's not scientific, it's not scientific!
It's not a fake Tang Dynasty that I've crossed, so there's no reason why it's like this?
"Lantian Hou, I can't hide it. Although this year was hit by a severe drought and locust plague, due to proper preparations, there was no reduction in grain production. ”
"The sweet potato seedlings that Lantian Hou dedicated to His Majesty completely solved the problem of eating for the people."
"Three months ago, the Turks and Tuyuhun raided the Longyou salt field, which led to the interruption of the northern salt road of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the method of salt production offered by the Marquis of Lantian, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable."
"Now that there was a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes yesterday, the cellars of the people's homes could not be stored at all, and Your Majesty used money to buy the sweet potatoes of the people."
"As a result, yesterday evening, the people spontaneously came to the Suzaku Gate and resolutely returned the money for His Majesty's purchase of sweet potatoes!"
"At that time, His Majesty and the Queen Mother came to the Suzaku Gate in the car of the Son of Heaven."
"People, Ulala knelt down in a large area and shouted in unison Your Majesty, the scene really made people cry."
“……”
Li Jing carefully recounted what he had witnessed last night.
Speaking of the old man's words, Li Gen was also quite moved.
"This morning, the ministers congratulated Your Majesty on the bumper harvest of sweet potatoes yesterday."
"Your Majesty thinks that now that the soldiers are strong and the morale is high, it is the best time to clean up Tuyuhun, and it is best to clean up Tuyuhun, and when you come back, you can knock and knock the Jieli dog thief casually!"
Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons
Li Gen understood it.
No wonder Li Jing said that all this is related to himself.
It seems that because of his appearance, many historical trajectories have been changed.
It's just that such a historical trajectory has changed, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
It is really a very unwise thing to conquer Tuyuhun in winter.
Because Tuyuhun is in a cold land, they can adapt to the harsh climate, what about the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?
"Dai Guogong, is there room for relaxation in this matter?"
Listening to Li Gen's words, Li Jing was very surprised.
However, thinking of Li Shimin's explanation, he decided to continue to listen to what Lantian Hou meant?
"Is Lantian Hou worried?"
"On behalf of the country, the younger generation thinks that this matter is quite debatable."
Listening to Li Gen's words, Li Jing's eyes narrowed.
"Lantian Hou, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Since this is the case, the younger generation will dare to say a few words."
"Dai Guogong, this is far from the high road to Tuyuhun Mountain, when I arrived at Tuyuhun, it was also the cold winter season, our army must be very tired after a long journey all the way, the climate of Tuyuhun is completely different from Chang'an City, covered with snow all year round, the north wind blows strongly, and the temperature is very high and cold. I am afraid that before the battle has even begun, our army will cause non-combat attrition. ”
Li Gen's words made Li Jing nod noncommittally.
"Second, since this Tuyuhun dares to raid my Longyou salt field, it must be ready for our army to conquer them, Tuyuhun's natural terrain advantage, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if they have been on high alert and vigilant, now to conquer Tuyuhun is definitely not the best time."
When Li Jing heard this, his eyes burst into light and went straight to Li Gen.
Let Li Gen really feel what is real, there is murder in his eyes.
"Lantian Hou, go on!"
Li Jing also felt that his eyes were too sharp, because the reason why he was like this just now was because he had discovered a military genius, and his excited eyes burst out.
"Thirdly, as Dai Guogong said just now, Tuyuhun and the Turks raided the Longyou salt field, causing the salt road to be interrupted. So have you ever thought about the possibility that Tuyuhun and the Turks conspired to do it? ”
"If they conspire to do it, it's not just Tuyuhun who is secretly guarding against our army."
"If when our army begins to attack Tuyuhun, when the rear is empty, the Turkic cavalry suddenly kills......"
Call!
is as calm as Li Jing, and he has to gasp at this time.
If this happens, once it happens.
The consequences were catastrophic.
His invincible record of Li Jing will be ruined!
"Lantian Hou, is there a countermeasure?"
After all, Li Jing is a battle-hardened, a god of war-level figure, even if he is shocked in his heart, his face quickly returns to normal.
"Dai Guogong, the younger generation just said, at this time, the time has not yet come to conquer Tuyuhun, even if you want to crusade, it is the best policy to destroy the Turks first."
"This year and next year, there will be a great drought in my Guanlong land, and next winter, the Turks will encounter a blizzard that has not been encountered in a century, which is a godsend opportunity to take the Turks without blood."
When Li Jing heard this, he raised his head and laughed.
"Madam, go back with the old man."
When the red-haired woman heard this, she almost dropped her jaw in shock.
"Master, let's not take a look at the award?"
Li Jing smiled and shook his head, and spoke.
"Don't look at it, listen to Lantian Hou's words today, and save the lives of tens of thousands of my Datang soldiers."
"The matter of conquest of Tuyuhun, the old man thinks that he can do it for the time being!"
"The old man is going to report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty uses soldiers like a god, and I believe that Your Majesty will make the right decision."
Li Jing got up and clasped his hands into fists.
"Lantian Hou, the old man farewell."
Li Gen has been sending Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl to outside the manor.
After seeing the carriage of the two of them go away, they returned to the manor and walked towards the school.
