Chapter 213: Foresight and Skill

Li Tai sniffed, "Why?" Why did you do this to it? ”

"Industry is good at diligence and frolic, His Royal Highness the King of Wei should not indulge in this kind of struggle between domestic animals."

In Li Tai's incredulous gaze, Zhang Yang's voice just fell, and he picked up another fighting and twisted its neck, and the two chickens fell to the ground and lost their movement.

Li Tai sniffled aggrievedly.

I have to say that these two chickens are also quite strong, and I don't know which one is not long-eyed to give this kind of thing to King Wei.

Zhang Yang skillfully killed the two chickens.

Two chickens are roasted over the fire.

The scent soon attracted Li Tai as well.

Make a large bowl of soup with chicken offal and coagulated chicken blood, and place two roast chickens on the table.

Li Tai tore off a chicken leg, took a bite and chewed it in his mouth, "This king's chicken died so miserably." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Is it delicious?" ”

Li Tai nodded vigorously, "It's delicious, but this is the king's lifelong friend." ”

"This dear friend has now become the food of His Royal Highness King Wei."

Li Tai chewed the chicken vigorously, "This meat is not delicious, it is not as smooth and tender as the chicken raised in the village, but this is still the king's best friend for life." ”

"His Royal Highness King Wei tastes this bowl of soup."

Li Tai picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of soup, looking lost, "I didn't expect the soup made with the hearts and lungs of this king's best friend to be so delicious." ”

Zhang Yang patiently said: "I don't know who sent the cockfight to His Royal Highness King Wei?" ”

"Li Yuanchang, I said that I came to apologize for what happened last time." Li Tai took another sip of soup, chewed the chewy internal organs, and said: "These two fighting cocks are indeed quite interesting, but just like you said, karma is good at diligence and frolic, this kind of poultry is still better to eat, but it is a pity to use it." ”

"Then are they still the best friends of His Royal Highness King Wei?"

"No, it's the king's food now, and it's better to eat this kind of poultry."

Li Tai didn't like to eat chicken breasts, so he ate chicken legs and chicken wings, and the more meaty chicken breasts were eaten by his guards, and now that his living conditions are better, he has begun to be picky about eating.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, the two chickens sent by Li Yuanchang have ulterior motives."

"I just think he wants to apologize and curry favor with me."

Zhang Yang sighed: "With the wisdom of His Royal Highness King Wei, he should be able to figure out the reason. ”

Li Tai threw the chicken bones to the puppies on the side, and several puppies from the village immediately waged their tails and surrounded them.

Li Yue was watching the little bear and the two geese fight inextricably.

The goose already has a lot of scratches on his body, and this is the first time that the bear has not fallen in the face of two geese.

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Li Tai also watched this scene.

The goose feathers fell to the ground, and the bear stepped on another goose and scratched the other goose with its paws.

It's just that the bear stepped on the air and fell to the ground.

As soon as it fell, the two geese gained the upper hand and began to fight back frantically.

One move fell into the wind, and the two big geese of the bear didn't have time to fight back, so they kept rolling backwards and crawling, and it ran to Li Yue's feet, and the two geese gave up.

The two geese shook their heads high into the river, swimming to comb their own goose feathers with the water.

After all, he still loses, and it still takes time for the bear to grow.

The two geese are indeed good at honing the bears, and they may also be very effective in the future.

Li Taiyi slapped the table, "This king understands, he Li Yuanchang wants me to indulge in fun and waste it from now on, yes or no?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "The children can be taught." ”

Li Tai sneered: "Is this king that kind of person in your eyes? Will it be wasted for two chickens? ”

Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "Just now, His Royal Highness King Wei also said that he would treat these two geese as lifelong friends. ”

Li Tai bowed his head and said, "But I ate them." ”

"I hope His Royal Highness King Wei will take this as a warning."

"The king has eaten them."

Give Li Tai a positive influence, he is a cash cow, and no one can destroy this cash cow.

Li Tai snorted coldly: "This Li Yuanchang thief is not dead, and this king will not take it lightly, don't worry." ”

"Is His Royal Highness King Wei still sad for these two fighting cocks?"

"Don't be sad, after eating them, this king only feels very happy."

Aunt Wang walked down, "The printing utensils designed by Her Royal Highness the princess would like to ask the horse to take a look." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang walked into Li Yue's room, and a huge drawing was hanging on the wall, which was a drawing of printing utensils for movable type printing.

According to the previous assumption, it was not difficult to make a printed template.

Place the printing plate on the shelf, pull the lever on the side, and the shelf will close.

When the paper and the printing plate are combined, the handwriting will be printed on it, the equipment does not need to be very large, and it is also very convenient to use, one person can operate it, and it is very fast.

Fix the printing plate and paper on both sides of the clip, and close the clamp as soon as the lever is pulled and clamped.

These ideas are still only at the drawing stage.

Li Yue looked at it with a smile, "It's not difficult to make this thing, and it doesn't need to be too big, a palm-sized printing plate, make a dozen of the same fixtures, and we can print many, many books in a day." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The printing board can be printed with movable type in small squares, combined. The cost can be saved, a printer can be operated by one person, and manpower can be saved. ”

Li Yue looked at the drawings and looked forward to ......

For several days in a row, the court and the central government were very busy, and they were all busy with the things to be performed, and this time they sent an envoy to Tubo but were detained by Songtsen Gampo.

Moreover, it has given Tubo the upper hand, and if the envoy is left in Tibet, there will be many people who have thoughts about the court.

Gao Cheng glanced at Zhang Daxiang, who was sitting on the side as if nothing had happened, and now the Ministry of Rites is his own people, except for this Zhang Daxiang, the two brothers Zhang Dasu and Xu Jingzong, who has not shown up.

The rebuilt ceremonial department is much larger than before, and even more spacious than the household department and the military department, and is about the same size as the official department.

Seeing that everyone couldn't negotiate a good solution, Gao Cheng stood up and left the Ministry of Rites, and hurried all the way to the Ministry of Officials.

Gao Shilian coughed as he looked at the roster of officials.

Seeing Gao Cheng coming, Gao Shilian lowered his face, "What are you doing here?" ”

Gao Cheng looked at the officials around him, and he spoke again.

Knowing what his son meant, Gao Shilian took him to the backyard of the ministry, "There is no one here, you can say anything directly." ”

Gao Cheng said in a low voice: "Father, what should we do with the envoy in Tibet right now?" ”

Gao Shilian said: "This matter is your own doing, and how to deal with the aftermath is also your own business." ”

Gao Cheng replied: "Do you want to send troops to rescue it?" ”

"Do you want the Tang Dynasty to go to war with Tubo?" Gao Shilian stroked his beard and said: "Now Your Majesty has been implementing the national policy of solidarity with the people, and will not agree to this matter, let alone start a war with Tubo. ”

Gao Cheng replied: "Father, the current war between Tubo and Tuyuhun has not long passed, and now that Tubo has not recovered, it is better to do it now." ”

"Think about everything? The old man knows that you want to make some achievements, but at the moment Tubo and the Tang Dynasty can't go to war, although the old man and the eldest grandson Wuji don't get along well now, no matter how you say it, it's an uncle and nephew, he will help with the things that should be helped, no one would have thought that there would be such a result. ”

"Got it."

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly came to the Ganlu Palace, "The letter of state to Tubo has been written, and I invite Your Majesty to take a look." ”

Li Shimin took this national letter, "I didn't expect Tubo to be so hostile to the Tang Dynasty." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice: "Tubo is a bitter cold land, their strength may not be comparable to the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to make a fuss, Gao Cheng also wants to make some achievements." ”

High performance is incapable of doing things and reckless.

Zhang Yang has the ability, but he has a tough wrist.

In contrast, it is true that high performance has fallen behind.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "If Songtsen Gampo accepts this letter of state and ignores it, and still detains the envoy sent by the Tang Dynasty, where is my face?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath, "The minister will think of a way again." ”

"Wait." Li Shimin called the eldest grandson Wuji again, "Gao Cheng, you should also persuade more." ”

"Whoa."

The eldest grandson Wuji walked out of the Ganlu Palace, his mood was very complicated, and he had to hand over the matter of bringing up his juniors, before it was Zhang Yang and now he is Gao Zheng, with some resentment in his heart, this Gao Zheng will serve well in the Ministry of Rites, but even if he doesn't do anything, no one will speak, he has to move Tubo, is he so active?

Li Shimin sat in the manna hall, picked up a piece of music and continued to look at it, and remembered the words of the time with Wei Zheng, since ancient times, the head of state can not be prepared, or make the king holy, the minister is not virtuous, or meet the virtuous minister, that is, there is no holy master. Now His Majesty is sage, so it is governed. If there are virtuous ministers, and if you don't think about it, it will not benefit. Although the world is peaceful today, the ministers still do not think they are happy, but I hope that Your Majesty will be prepared for danger in times of peace and will not slack off.

"I hope that Your Majesty will be prepared for danger in times of peace and never slack off." Li Shimin thought that Wei Zheng was like a needle, but if there was any slackness, the needle would be pierced.

A eunuch brought a bowl of bean sprouts, "Your Majesty, this is the Emperor Taishang's seed." ”

Li Shimin looked at the bean sprouts puzzled, "What is my father planting bean sprouts for?" ”

The little eunuch replied: "The Emperor said that this bean sprout was not grown, and the Emperor Taishang came up with a way to make crops without soil, saying that he would also show it to His Majesty, and said that he wanted to leave Chang'an City and go to Princess Runan's fiefdom to see, maybe he would have to stay for some time." ”

Li Shimin thought that his father and emperor had no one to talk to him in the Wude Palace, maybe he was really depressed, "Let Cheng Qian accompany him and let the people from the East Palace escort him together." ”

"Whoa."

After getting Li Shimin's promise to leave the palace, Li Yuan was in a very good mood.

Of course, when leaving the palace, the prince had to accompany him, and Li Yuan saw Li Chengqian after changing his clothes.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, in fact, Gu Ye has long wanted to meet that place, but the accompanying master Yan also wants to meet Zhang Yang." ”

Li Yuan nodded, walking all the way quickly, not wanting to stay in the palace for more than half a moment.

While walking and getting into the carriage out of the palace, Li Yuan said to Li Chengqian: "The old man will have to stay in that village for a while longer, and when the time comes, if you want to go back to the East Palace, go back by yourself." ”

Li Chengqian nodded.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and Li Yuan said again: "You have worn a crown and become an adult, and it is time to marry a wife." ”

Li Chengqian arched his hand and said: "The queen mother has mentioned it, but my father has not said anything yet, maybe he is still thinking about it." ”

Li Yuan smiled, "Your father is a calculating person, people with five surnames don't have to think about it, you and Qingque are even infant slaves, you don't want to touch any of your father's heirs, the children of the family." ”

Li Chengqian frowned and said: "Erchen knows his father's painstaking efforts, and he will move his whole body with one shot, and his father has further plans. ”

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Zhang Yang is the same, his vision is very far-sighted, I heard that as early as a year ago, he told your father that Tubo is an opponent that cannot be underestimated, so there will be precautions in advance." ”

"He had a plan back then?"

Li Yuan nodded, "It's like he said that you can grow bean sprouts without soil, I tried it, but I didn't expect it to be really successful, hahaha!" ”

As soon as he thought of Zhang Yang's matter, Li Yuan laughed.

Li Chengqian was puzzled: "This Zhang Yang has both foresight and skill, and can also maneuver with neighboring countries, but unfortunately he made the mistake of abusing power for personal gain, and he was denounced. ”

Li Yuan had a smile on his face, "Do you know who reported this matter?" ”

"Lone knows, admonishes Doctor Wei Zheng."

"Things are not as simple as you think, do you think about how Wei Zheng knew about this?"

Li Chengqian was puzzled when he heard this: "Wei Zheng listened to what others said?" Or is it someone from the Ministry of Rites? ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Think about it again?" ”

Li Chengqian whispered: "Could it be a green sparrow?" Or someone from the Wei Palace. ”

The carriage did not go fast, and it took a while to leave Chang'an City.

Li Yuan looked at the scenery outside, "Li Tai is a smart child, he has been smarter than you since he was a child. ”

Li Chengqian lowered his head a little ashamedly.

"The attendants and subordinates of the Wei Wangfu listen to Qingque's words very much, although he is sometimes very messy, but the attendants around him are also loyal to him, in fact, this matter is not the news that the Wei Wangfu came out, but Zhang Yang's teacher Zhang Gongjin."

Li Chengqian was shocked: "Why is it Zou Guogong?" ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Because you were Zhang Yang who passively left the Ministry of Rites, they all planned in advance, they had planned it before, and Li Xiaogong was involved, don't think too simply." ”

"Grandpa's teachings are firmly in my heart."

Li Yuan looked into the distance, "Zhang Yang has foresight and skill, and Gao Cheng is indeed not as good as him." ”

Li Chengqian thought again, "Since he can get personal benefits in the Ministry of Rites, why did he let Zou Guoxuan issue it?" ”

Li Yuan smiled, "How do I know, you might as well ask him yourself when you get there." ”

Li Chengqian fell silent again.

"Do you know why your father allowed me to come out?"

"Father and Emperor hope that Grandpa can come out to relax?"

"Because I am surrounded by your father's people, they are all staring at me."

Li Yuan's words fell, and the little eunuch who was driving the carriage hit a spirit, and he could even feel the gaze of the emperor behind him.

The Emperor Taishang and the crown prince traveled, and the village received the news, and the guards from the East Palace and the Wude Hall informed the village early to prepare.

Niu Chuang asked people to clean up the road, and even cleaned up all the stones along the way, for fear that the carriage would be bumpy because of the stones, and the emperor would be unhappy.
