After being quiet for a long time, Li Yue slowly stood up with his head down, his hands clenched into fists.

Seeing her walking towards him, Zhang Yang sighed: "Don't be too sad, there will always be ups and downs in life." ”

Li Yue raised a small fist and hit Zhang Yang's shoulder.

Her husband's shoulders were very strong, and after beating for a while, she felt that her hands hurt a little, and she drooped her head back to her room and closed the door heavily.

Aunt Wang killed the rabbit and handed it to Zhang Yang, "Why is Her Royal Highness the princess angry?" ”

Zhang Yang took the rabbit, "Being angry can make her blood surge, and it is also good for her condition." ”

"I see."

Aunt Wang nodded.

Preparing salt and pepper, Zhang Yang stretched the rabbit open with a wooden frame, and then fixed the rabbit's legs and roasted them by the fire.

Let's let my daughter-in-law get out of chess first.

I'm worried about her all the time playing chess.

Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and the aroma spreads.

Put the roasted rabbit on the table and cut it with a knife.

Li Yue smelled the smell and walked out of the room, picked up a little rabbit leg and gnawed fiercely, "I will not play chess for a month as agreed." ”

"Well, it's not good to be too addicted."

Li Yue bit the roast rabbit meat to vent her anger.

After a little rabbit finished eating, Li Yue drank a sip of wine with satisfaction and let out a sigh of relief.

The chess affair was quickly put on the back burner for her, and she sat leisurely in a rocking chair enjoying the warmth of the sun and taking a nap.

Zhang Yang tasted the goat milk he bought, but the milk flavor was not strong, probably because it had been left for a long time and the taste had become very poor.

When she woke up from a nap, Li Yue had already left the troubles of chess behind, and she threw all her body and mind into the transformation of the hot air balloon.

Because of the lack of heat, she has replaced the charcoal fire with more resistant coal.

Solving the problem of insufficient heat from the fuel is indeed a good direction.

Coal can indeed be burned at a higher temperature and for a longer period of time.

Li Yue looked at the flames burning with coal, "It doesn't seem to be much different from charcoal fire." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Once again, the direction of the experiment was established, and Li Yue had a new goal.

Datang coal still has a lot of impurities, and the combustion is not sufficient, but it can be used improvised.

If you add a bellows, the combustion temperature of this coal can reach thousands of degrees.

The dream of overlooking the entire Chang'an City is getting closer and closer.

Changing the fuel to raise the temperature, she was one step closer to success.

Zhang Yang patiently said to her, "If it is a rectangular lantern, its stability in the air will be very poor, it will be easy to fall around, and it will easily capsize when it encounters the wind." ”

Li Yue revised the drawing, "What kind of shape can make a hot air balloon more stable?" ”

"Spherical, a lot of times the stability of the ball is the best."

Li Yue's little face has a thoughtful look, and she always purses her lips when she thinks.

Zhang Yang drew a tumbler, and then turned the entire drawing board upside down, "This shape will be more stable." ”

Li Yue leaned on Zhang Yang's body, and the two shoulders were next to each other.

"I've tried it with a lantern before, and it's a similar sphere, and the height of the float isn't too high, huh...... My husband is right, stability is more important. ”

After thinking for a while, Li Yue continued: "I can do an experiment with each shape to figure out which shape is more suitable. ”

After saying this, the couple looked at each other and smiled.

Li Yue hugged Zhang Yang's arm and looked up at the sky, "It will be successful, it won't be too long." ”

On the road of pursuing romance, Li Yue relied on his talent as a scholar, but he was really different.

Zhang Yang frowned and said in a low voice: "I think the economic construction of our fiefdom is on the way, and the cultural construction should also be improved." ”

Li Yue was puzzled: "Does the husband mean to invite a master?" ”

Zhang Yang pondered, "Wouldn't it be too expensive to ask for a master?" ”

Li Yue raised his small fist and smashed it twice on Zhang Yang's shoulder, "We are all so rich, you still care about these silver coins." ”

Zhang Yang frowned and thought, "If only there was a master who didn't want money and was willing to teach, at least let them be literate." ”

With some minor troubles, the couple chatted for a while about the construction of the fiefdom.

On the morning of the second day, I could finally have enough sleep without playing chess, and the days when my daughter-in-law was addicted to playing chess were too bitter.

Zhang Yang slept well.

Li Yue and her two aunts were eating breakfast.

Zhang Yang had a full breakfast and walked out of the house.

All the way to Chengtianmen, I came early today, and there were not many people in front of Chengtianmen.

Li Xiaogong walked over while nibbling on a piece of cake.

Xu Jingzong still stepped on the point in front of Chengtian Gate.

After eating the cake in his hand, Li Xiaogong said: "Who put the package of herbs yesterday." ”

Xu Jingzong looked at Zhang Yang in puzzlement.

Zhang Yang also looked at Xu Jingzong and said to Li Xiaogong: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xiaogong said in a low voice: "That herb is good, the old man feels very good today after taking it." ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "That's actually Brother Xu's." ”

Xu Jingzong replied: "This is a home remedy in Xiaguan's hometown, which can replenish vitality. ”

Li Xiaogong nodded slightly, "It's really good." ”

Zhang Yang looked at Xu Jingzong puzzled.

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly, "Zhang Shilang also has to prepare some." ”

Finally understood the meaning of Xu Jingzong's medicinal materials, Zhang Yang watched the Chengtian Gate open, "I don't need it." ”

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Young man Zhang Shilang, he naturally recovered quickly, and his complexion is much better today. ”

Everyone walked into the Taiji Hall.

The government began normally, and in addition to the normal report on the situation in various places, there was also the war in Tuyuhun in the recent early court discussions.

The war between Tuyuhun and Tubo is still going on.

Now that Tuyuhun has been defeated all the way, he has lost most of his land, and many Tuyuhun people have fled to the Western Turkic area.

Many people also fled to the Eastern Turks.

Tuyuhun was not a very strong small country, but when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Tuyuhun felt that he was doing it again and began to float.

even provoked Datang from time to time.

To die, Tugu Hun never gets tired of it.

At first, Tuyuhun didn't take Tubo seriously, and even felt that the young Songtsen Gampo couldn't fight Tuyuhun at all by relying on a group of Tubo natives.

Tuyuhun was really strong back then, and his own strength has been rising.

He didn't realize that in fact, Tibet was not weak, until now there was a very capable monarch Songtsen Gampo in Tibet.

The young and ambitious Songtsam cadres did not want to clash with Tuguhun too early.

Who knew that Tuyuhun died by himself, which annoyed Tubo.

The cohesion of the Tubo tribe led by Songtsen Gampo is very strong, and Tuyuhun is a little stupid under a fight, why is the strength of the Tubo people so fierce.

At present, Tuyuhun is no longer in a catastrophe, but a matter of life and death.

Zhang Yang listened quietly to the courtiers, and Tuyuhun was not far from the day when he would be annexed by Tubo.

Everyone understands the truth that if Tubo really annexes Tuyuhun, Tubo's next target is the rich Central Plains.

The war is to recover the cost, and Songtsen Gampo will not get better benefits from taking Tuyuhun.

Not to mention going north to attack the Western Turks, how much wealth the Western Turks will have in the broken places is not enough for Songtsen Gampo to return to his roots.

After the next court, the three returned to the palace.

Except for the normal morning court, the rest of the time is quite free.

Zhang Yang looked at some Turkic case files, "Are there any more case files about Turkic tribal branches?" ”

Xu Jingzong took out a few case files, "That's all, it's all from the Wude period." ”

Intelligence is backward, manpower is insufficient, and resources are not given.

The diplomatic business of this Ministry of Rites is really difficult, almost starting from scratch.

In the past few years, the Turkic tribes have not been in the habit of living in one place for a long time, and they tend to go back and forth in several places, living uncertainly.

Tribal migrations happen from time to time.

Zhang Yang sighed, "We are blind to the current situation in the Turks, and we don't know anything. ”

Xu Jingzong stood quietly aside, and he was also very troubled in his heart.

Zhang Yang threw away the case file in his hand, "Go out for a walk." ”

"Okay."

The two left the mansion, leaving Li Xiaogong to sleep here.

There are also many Fanbang people in the west of Chang'an City, some from the Western Regions, and some Turks come to do business.

Guanzhong dialect is also something they must master, otherwise they will not be able to do business in Guanzhong.

Xu Jingzong asked some Turks for news.

In the West Market, you can see some strange things outside the gates, such as wine cups made of animal bones with strange styles.

There are also necklaces made from animal teeth.

There is also a whole tiger skull in the distance.

I don't know if I thought this was an animal skeleton conference.

The West Market is a mixed place, where you can find out about the outside of the gates.

Zhang Yang stood at the mouth of Xishi Alley and saw a kind of rope.

There were some clay jars tied to this rope, and Zhang Yang tried the toughness, which was quite good.

The people from the Western Regions who sold clay jars smiled and showed a mouthful of black teeth, "Three dollars a jar." ”

Zhang Yang took out three pennies, "I don't want jars, I want these ropes, what kind of rope is this?" ”

The people of the Western Regions described it in a jerky Guanzhong dialect, and talked for a while that this was a kind of rope made from plants in the Western Regions.

This person's Guanzhong words were very difficult, and Zhang Yang also had a hard time listening to them, so he paid three cents to buy all these ropes, three fist-sized thread balls.

Xu Jingzong will also come, and he took out a picture, "Ask clearly." ”

While looking at the picture, Zhang Yang walked out of the West Market, "This picture is really sketchy." ”

Xu Jingzong explained: "This picture is already very good, Zhang Shilang, you see that triangle is a mountain, that line is a river, and that piece of cattle and sheep is pasture, the more you draw, the more you number." ”

Returning the picture to Xu Jingzong, Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Old Xu." ”

"The lower official is here."

"Where did all those heinous people go after the DPRK and China?"

"Of course, the heinous one is to kill." Xu Jingzong followed all the way and said.

"Is there anything alive?" Zhang Yang walked on Zhuque Street, although the official uniform he was wearing was old, after all, officials and pedestrians took the initiative to give way.

"Probably not, why do you ask this?" Xu Jingzong frowned and said.

"I think we can do a cooperation with Dali Temple."

"Cooperation?"

"Throw all those bad guys to the Turks to get us information and draw a topographical map."

"That's a good idea, lest they eat and drink in their cells for nothing."

The two sighed together and parted at a street entrance.

Sun Wuji, a high-ranking official in Zhongshu, finished today's business, and he asked the little official on the side, "What has the Ministry of Rites been busy with lately?" ”

"As always, there's not much movement." The little official replied.

It has been a few days since the Turkic affairs were handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and there has been no movement.

After seeing Zhang Yang talk so much, I thought he was going to do something big, but I didn't expect it to be the same now.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling relaxed his back, he stepped forward when he heard this, "Zhao Guogong, do you want to send the recital of the court to the Turks." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji took out the previous resolution, "Then send it over, the old man is still not at ease with the Ministry of Rites." ”

Fang Xuanling took the chapter, "Presumably, the Turki Khan should leave for Chang'an after receiving the chapter." ”

You can't just look at what the Ministry of Rites can do.

Fang Xuanling knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was a person who took care of the overall situation, and he also understood His Majesty's intentions, "Zhongshu Province can't just wait for the Ministry of Rites to do things, we also have to be prepared with both hands, Zhao Guogong also wants to see how capable that Zhang Yang is?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, "Your Majesty still cares about these young children in the court. ”

Fang Xuanling also smiled.

The people who followed Li Shimin at the beginning are now in their thirties.

The Zhongshu Provincial Song was hurriedly sent away from Chang'an City.

By the Qujiang Pond, Zhang Yang was pounding tea leaves and goat's milk.

Cheng Chumo was expressionless, looking at the water surface of Qujiang Pond motionlessly.

Zhang Yang made a cup of milk tea, then put some dried fruits and fruits into it, and put in some crushed mint leaves.

"Are you ready to drink?" Li Tai waited anxiously aside.

Pour out a bowl of the finished milk tea, Zhang Yang handed it to him, "His Royal Highness King Wei has a taste." ”

Li Tai first took a sip and tried the taste, and then drank all the milk tea in the bowl in one gulp, still biting some fruit grains in his mouth.

"Delicious! One more bowl! ”

Zhang Yang poured him another bowl, "If there is no sugar, there is no sweetness." ”

Li Tai drank another bowl and said curiously: "Why don't you drink it?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "How do I know if I can drink it, what if I drink it and break my stomach?" ”

The smile on Li Taipang's face slowly disappeared.

"Judging from the materials I put in, there shouldn't be a big problem, maybe His Royal Highness King Wei will have a stomach upset later."

Li Tai sighed, and he drank another bowl, "It's weird and delicious, how can you always make so many novel ways to eat." ”

"It's just a hobby, in fact, tea and milk are also a good combination, I call this milk tea."

"Milk tea? Well, good name, you asked Benwang to buy these tea leaves just for milk tea, right? The little fat man lifted his chin as if he had taken a great credit for buying the tea.

Li Tai took out the small cake and ate it again, and he unexpectedly found that the milk tea and the cake had a different flavor when eaten together.

"I'm going to hand over this business to Chu Mo."

Cheng Chumo turned his head to look at it when he heard this, he didn't like the taste of goat's milk, "Give it to so-and-so, anyway, so-and-so won't drink it." ”

Li Tai burped and took a mouthful of milk.

Zhang Yang pondered and said, "There is still a big problem at the moment. ”
