Seeing that Li Yue's eyes were unconvinced, Zhang Yang touched her head and messed up her combed hair, "Good, let's play a small cannon battle." ”

Reluctantly, Li Yue put the small cannon under the tree, lit the cannon battle, and there was an explosion, and this sound was not at all the cannon sound.

"Bang...... Boom! ”

There were two more explosions on Zhang Yang's end.

Li Yue looked sideways and saw an unknown thing shoot out of the bamboo tube, and then exploded in mid-air.

"Yikes! It will fly! Li Yue looked surprised.

Zhang Yang wrote down the test record, and it was only two meters high.

This height is much lower than I expected.

Zhang Yang took out another bamboo tube, filled it with soil at the bottom and sealed it, lit the fuse again, and the white smoke from the cannon soon stopped burning, dumb fire.

These bamboo tubes are made with different proportions.

to rule out some of the wrong scenarios.

This is a relatively stupid method, and there is no reference, so you can only cross the river by feeling the stones, and experiment again and again.

Li Yue is no longer interested in small artillery battles, and he is wondering when he can play large artillery battles.

After seven or eight experiments, only one of the proportioning schemes is reliable, that is, the height is too low.

Increase the power of the primer and try again.

After writing down the conclusion of the experiment, Zhang Yang sat back in the carriage.

Li Yue pursed his lips and said, "When can I play cannon battles." ”

Zhang Yang drove the carriage and said, "Soon, my experiment is almost complete, and I will show you fireworks when the time comes." ”

"Is it pretty?"

"It's beautiful, it's gorgeous, it's beautiful."

The two walked outside for a while, and Li Yue usually didn't go out.

Zhang Yang didn't want her to be at home all the time.

You should also come out and see the scenery outside.

The horse was marching slowly and leisurely, and he saw a large group of soldiers and horses in the distance heading towards Chang'an City.

The team looked like there were 20,000 people.

Li Yue also looked at this army of soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yang observed and said: "With such a large scale, the people escorted by this team of soldiers and horses should be very important. ”

Li Yue saw that the person escorting the leader was Wei Chigong, "This should be Your Majesty's return from hunting today." ”

"How do you know?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

Li Yue said nonchalantly: "Who else can such a big battle be besides Your Majesty today." ”

This may really be Li Shimin, and it is recorded in the annals that Li Shimin did go out hunting several times at the end of the fourth year of Zhenguan.

The two watched from a distance, and saw a man in the carriage step down, who looked to be in his early thirties, and it was too far away to see each other's expressions.

The horses stepped on their hooves, picked up some speed, pulled the wagon, and went farther and farther.

Zhang Yang didn't bother to pull the reins, and let the horse go farther and farther.

Li Shimin returned from winter hunting, with a full load of prey.

Li Chengqian greeted him at the gate of the city.

"Father."

Li Shimin, who came back from the winter hunt, was in a very good mood.

Li Chengqian walked aside and told about the situation in Chang'an City in the past two days.

The procession headed towards the palace gates.

While walking, Li Chengqian whispered: "My father went out of the palace to hunt this time, and the sons heard that many officials in the court were ready to admonish this matter. ”

Hearing the advice of the civil officials, Li Shimin's original good mood swept away most of it, "These civil servants are really ......"

In order to avoid being impeached by civilian officials, Li Shimin directly dedicated all his prey to Li Yuan in Da'an Palace.

I don't know if Your Majesty did it himself, or if someone gave His Majesty this idea, which made the civil officials who originally planned to admonish collectively dumbfounded.

Originally, he was going to be impeached, but when he thought that the Emperor Taishang was too old to go out hunting, His Majesty offered his prey to the Emperor to express comfort.

This can be regarded as filial piety.

It's not good to continue to criticize His Majesty today.

After returning to the palace, Li Shimin quickly devoted himself to the handling of political affairs, and went out hunting for so many days, leaving a lot of things in the court.

Both the palace and the court were busy.

Li Shimin reviewed one piece after another, especially looking at the pieces handed over by envoys from various countries.

Most of them praise Datang for how good they are, how loyal they are, and how willing they are to take Datang as the suzerain, saying their best wishes for Datang in the new year.

These words are nicely spoken.

Li Shimin sneered disdainfully, how many people want to get any benefits from it.

After reading these recitals, Li Shimin relaxed his eyes, closed his eyes and said, "Before I know it, I am about to reach the fifth year of Zhenguan. ”

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, walked into the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the minister's post hall has seen the envoys of various countries, and although there is friction between the people of Tubo and Tuyuhun, they have been quiet. ”

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Isn't there any other situation? ”

Li Xiaogong replied: "No. ”

"Then let's prepare for the beginning of next year, when envoys from various countries enter the pilgrimage."

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty...... That ......"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xiaogong stepped forward and said: "Because the court spent a lot of silver on several festivals this year, the court can't take out much money, there are still a lot of things to do in the coming year, and Liangzhou has spent a lot of money to increase the army. ”

"There's no money to hold a court meeting?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't have money, it's that this condition has been really difficult recently."

Li Shimin sneered: "Aren't those people quite generous when they buy soap?" ”

Li Xiaogong lowered his head in embarrassment.

It is also to blame that when Li Yuan was in power, the Emperor Li Yuan was very generous during his reign, and he spent money like flowing water, and he even rewarded a lot of heroes with a lot of silver.

When everything was settled, Li Shimin sat on the throne and found that all the money in the palace had been spent, and saving money was considered to have coped with several big battles.

It's a pity that the treasury is empty today.

There's not much money to hold a big pilgrimage.

Li Shimin thought that the soap business had also made the queen earn a lot, and there was no money in the Chinese treasury, and the queen also had money on her side, so maybe she could make an emergency.

The dignified Khan has no money to hold a New Year's court, and this day Khan is too embarrassed.

Li Shimin said in a loud voice: "How much is missing?"

Li Xiaogong opened his mouth and said: "Roughly 60,000 yuan of silver is needed, not counting the rewards to be given to the envoys of various countries. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin only felt a headache, and waved his hand again; "Stand down, I'll think about it."

Li Xiaogong just took a few steps and walked back, "Your Majesty." ”

"Anything else?"

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has indeed been very difficult, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, it was to pacify the civil strife, the northern expedition to the Turks, and how difficult the life of the DPRK and China was, Li Xiaogong naturally understood.

Li Xiaogong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the wives and concubines in the minister's family are obsessed with soap these days, but in fact, the minister's family doesn't have much money. ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Do you think I will ask you for money?" ”

"No, that's not what the minister meant." Li Xiaogong's face was embarrassed, "The minister is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the Zongzheng Temple has been dealing with the affairs of the sect recently, this is the New Year, and the money from the sect this year has not been paid." ”
