Lou Shide sat in the side hall of the East Palace, quietly waiting for the prince to return.

Da, da......

He had been sitting here for an hour, but he didn't look impatient, and his gaze kept falling on a strange mechanism in the corner of the side hall.

This is a string of round steel balls the size of an egg tied up by silk threads, there are six in total, and every time a swinging steel ball on the left smashes on the adjacent steel ball, it will make a clicking sound, and then, the steel balls side by side in the middle do not move, but the rightmost steel ball will bounce up, and when the rightmost steel ball is smashed down, the leftmost steel ball will fly up again, and so on, and so on.

Lou Shide saw this mechanism when he came in, and after looking at it for an hour, this mechanism was still moving, and it seemed that it would continue to move like this forever.

When Li Hong came back, Lou Shide took his eyes off the strange mechanism and saluted Li Hong: Did you succeed?

Li Hong pinched his eyebrows tiredly: You are going to take people into Shuzhong.

Lou Shide said suspiciously: Unfinished work?

Li Hong sighed and said: Lizhou, Kuizhou fell into the hands of the queen mother, and the Jianmen Pass was still in the hands of the emperor.

Lou Shide said: The two exits of water and land are made by the queen, and the Jianmen Pass is controlled by His Majesty, so Shuzhong cannot be self-contained.

Li Hongdao: It's already the best result, you better enter Shu as soon as possible, take over Chengdu from Guo Ziping, and take advantage of the favorable conditions that my master is still in Chengdu to run Shuzhong.

Lou Shide said: Is there anything else Your Highness has to order?

Li Hong shook his head and said: You are more familiar with local government affairs than me, and I trust you.

Lou Shide pointed to the steel ball and said: Can you give this thing to your subordinates?

Li Hong followed his line of sight and asked Baoguan to go to the warehouse to get one, but this one was much smaller than the one in the corner of the side hall, and he could even play with it in his hand.

You still take this, it's much the same, don't look at this thing is very simple, it contains a lot of knowledge, you can intuitively see the behavior trajectory of action and reaction force, including magnetic ...... Forget it, you don't understand, let's use it as an ornament to play.

Lou Shide was unconvinced: His subordinates are also full of poetry and books.

Li Hong smiled: This thing has nothing to do with the poetry books you have learned.

Lou Shide sighed, and left the East Palace with the small mechanism given by Li Hong, and after getting into the carriage, he lifted the small steel ball on the far left of the mechanism with his fingers and let him fall naturally, and the small steel ball smashed on the steel ball hanging in the middle, and the small steel ball on the far right flew up.

Listening to the familiar clicking sound in the carriage, Lou Shide said softly: It seems that he is going to learn new knowledge again.

Li Hong lay down on the brocade for a while, then turned over and sat up, walked through the layers of palaces, and came to the place where Xu Jingzong lived.

Xu Jingzong was looking around with a magnifying glass, and when Li Hong came over, he saw a huge eye through the magnifying glass.

Don't look at the sun with that thing.

Although he didn't feel the need to say this, Li Hong still said it.

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he put away his magnifying glass and said to Li Hong: Seeing this thing reminded the old man of an interesting story when he was a teenager.

Li Hong saw Xu Jingzong's strong look of quick questioning, so he said helplessly: What interesting thing can make Taifu so unforgettable?

Xu Jingzong laughed twice, and then said: Does Your Highness know Yang Gang?

Li Hong thought for a moment and said: The son of Yang Xiong, the former king of Guande of Sui?

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness is well-read and strong, when this Yang Gang was studying in Taixue, his favorite thing to say on weekdays was that his father was the king of Guande.

Therefore, there are people who do good deeds, in the way of Confucius students compiling (Analects) to compile a reason, Confucius passed the test, suddenly suffered from eye disease, and saw a small object as if he saw a behemoth, the master could not sit for a long time, so he came to walk in the garden, there was a white dog sitting on the millstone, the master accidentally fell, fortunately his hands on the millstone to avoid injury.

However, looking up, a red giant peak stood tall among the white giant trees, and soared into the sky, and the master couldn't help but admire the sun: this

For what he saw in his life, he gave birth to the heart of a name......

Zhu Zhe, Yang Ye, proudly plunged into the sky, can be described as a hero.

At this time, Yan Hui, the disciple of the master, saw the master lying on the crotch of the white dog. Next, he also praised the dog whip loudly, and couldn't help but say loudly: Master, this is a dog whip, not Yang Xiong.

happened to be another disciple of the master, Zilu, who returned from outside, and heard that Yan Hui was accusing the master of being wrong.

Then he said angrily: Zhuzi'an dared to be rude, the master said that Yang Xiong is a dog whip, then, the dog whip must be Yang Xiong, why use you to blame.

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he burst into laughter, and laughed so much that he burst into tears, and he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing.

Li Hong laughed dryly twice, and when he saw Xu Jingzong holding a magnifying glass and crying and laughing, after a little thought, he helped Xu Jingzong to sit down, and said softly: I will never use this magnifying glass to watch people in my life. will only remember Taifu's hard work to teach Li Hong, let alone hold this magnifying glass to look at Taifu.

Xu Jingzong stopped smiling bitterly, wiped the tears on his long beard with a handkerchief, raised the magnifying glass in front of him again, and looked at Li Hongdao through the magnifying glass: Your Highness is already a giant.

Li Hong said angrily: I hope the lonely king is not a dog whip.

Xu Jingzong laughed and said: Why is Your Highness so self-defiled?

Li Hong said angrily: This kind of story will also be compiled by the Lone King, just move the white dog under the plum tree, and Confucius will immediately say that Li Hong is a dog whip, and a dog whip is Li Hong's.

Xu Jingzong stroked his palms and laughed: The old man's name is not easy to compile.

Li Hong laughed and said: The white dog can be moved to the offering table.

Xu Jingzong stopped laughing when he heard this, took a breath and said: Don't be unguarded.

Li Hongdao: "Okay, okay, Taifu's advice is accepted by Lone, the truth that no one is perfect Lone still knows, and he definitely won't look at people with a magnifying glass, nor will he use Taizong's mirror to look at people, after all, there are few people who can compare with Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng, and besides, Lone can't stand that kind of person."

Let's talk about the things in Shuzhong, now, Lizhou, Kuizhou is controlled by the queen mother, Jianmen Pass is owned by the father, the lonely king seems to have obtained almost the entire Shuzhong, but he is subject to the father, the queen mother, how to break the situation?

Xu Jingzong played with his magnifying glass and said: "Your Highness may wish to take a long-term view, Lizhou, Kuizhou, Jianmen Pass control Shuzhong, then, where can you control Lizhou, Kuizhou, Jianmen Pass."

Li Hong didn't even think about it: Guanzhong, Hanzhong!

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: Where can you control Guanzhong, what about Hanzhong?

Li Hongdao: Central Plains, huh? Taifu is saying that his father has put the power struggle into the four seas? ，

Xu Jingzong said: "Your Majesty has a broad mind, and will naturally put the four seas in your heart, my Tang Dynasty land is all over the world, unprecedentedly large, Your Majesty now entrusts Shuzhong to the prince, but controls Lizhou, Kuizhou, Jianmen Pass, which requires His Royal Highness to continue to fight for Guanzhong, Hanzhong, in order to make up for the shortcomings in Shu.

After His Royal Highness takes Guanzhong and Hanzhong, I don't know how long it will take, and there is the Central Plains, clamping Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Shuzhong, and after His Highness takes the Central Plains, how many years will it take?

When all the land in His Majesty's hands is under the control of the crown prince, that is, the moment when His Royal Highness ascends the throne and is crowned, it is just that at this time, His Majesty's body must be at the time when the oil is exhausted.

Therefore, the old man thought that it would be better for His Highness to go with the flow.

Li Hong gasped and said: Master told me a strategy before, called "exchanging time for region", does my father say that this is the strategy he implements?

Xu Jingzong sighed and said: Your Majesty's generation of heroes naturally can't bear the humiliation of becoming the emperor.

Li Hong sighed and said, "Gu has never thought of making his father the emperor, no matter how many years, Gu will naturally ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Yes, the old man is very sure of this, but Yun Chu seems to be unsure, he is entering the southwest this time, and it seems that the person he is plotting is not a mere Nanzhao.

Li Hong came to the huge Kan Aotu, looked at the huge Nanzhao on the map, and finally made a comparison on the map with his hand, and finally said: Lingnan, Annam, no, too far

Finish.

Xu Jingzong said: Lou Shide went to Shuzhong and asked.

Li Hong shook his head and said: Speaking of which, Lone doesn't believe that anything else will go wrong.

Xu Jingzong looked up at Li Hong, opened his mouth to speak, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say, because he found that there was no need to say it, Li Hong didn't know, but couldn't say it.

After three days of solitude, I have to go to Chang'an.

Li Hong said to Xu Jingzong before leaving.

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "That will be the place where His Highness Longxing will be located.

Compared with the grand plans of Li Zhi, Li Hong, Wu Mei, and Xu Jingzong, Yun Chu's side is almost drilling the horns.

Yun Chu, the dignified head of the Jiannan Road marching army, during this time, the most concerned thing was not about military affairs, but about how many things the savage tribes near Chengdu had traded with the army.

Moreover, no matter how big or small, he has to check them one by one, and even how many iron pots have been sold, he will remember in his heart.

After Piloco left, there was no more news.

Yun Chu didn't seem to care about the life or death of this young man, as if there had never been such a person in this world

Huo Cheng, the first-level shopkeeper of the Yun family, has returned to Chengdu, and this time he is ready to reopen the flowing water brand in Chengdu and take away a lot of Yun's shopkeepers.

Li Yuance's heart was as careful as a hair, and he suddenly found that the Yun clan shopkeepers and schemers who could be seen everywhere in the past seemed to have disappeared overnight, and at the same time, those natives in the southwest disappeared.

When he found out that Yun Jin, the son of the Yun family, had returned, and took over the border trade market that had been running well with a group of gentlemen, he cautiously said to Jiang Xie: Have you noticed any changes?

Jiang Xie, who was sleeping, didn't even want to open his eyes, and said lazily: The army is really going to enter the southwest forest.
