Li Chengqian nodded slightly, "There are also records in the annals of history, but all the kings who respect Buddhism did not end well in the end. ”

Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that Li Chengqian could still distinguish it by himself, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if they dare to come to the East Palace again, can the ministers beat them out." ”

"It's not enough to beat it out."

Li Chengqian smiled reluctantly.

"This eldest grandson brought a monk to the East Palace, and his heart can be punished, he should be taught a good lesson, let him remember the lesson, why bring everyone to the East Palace."

Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped and said: "There is no need to teach a lesson, a letter from the Lonely Association admonishes him." ”

"Then let's do it first, if there is a next time, the minister will not be polite."

"That's fine."

The prince is a sincere person, but he is too sincere, some can't distinguish between good people and bad people, that day Zhu monk is a bad person, no matter if he solved the mystery of the egg because he inquired from the outside, or there is really this kind of accident.

In short, it is best to keep a distance from such people.

Raising his eyes again and looking at the chart in front of him, Zhang Yang pondered: "The crown prince also heard that the king of Wei planned to take out the silver money to repair Chang'an City? ”

Li Chengqian sat cross-legged, "Lone knows." ”

"Then this chart is useful." Zhang Yang drew circles in several markets in Chang'an City, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please take a look." ”

Li Chengqian looked at a few circled places and frowned: "What does this mean?" ”

"The place where the minister has just circled is a few very lively markets in Chang'an City, according to the idea that His Royal Highness King Wei wants to put garbage cans in Chang'an City, you can add a few more garbage cans in the more lively streets."

Li Chengqian put the weight of his body on the backrest behind him, "Actually, Lone also has concerns." ”

"I wonder what concerns His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has?"

"I'm thinking what if I want to make a lot of garbage cans, what if this garbage is stolen?"

"Stole? This ......"

Zhang Yang was suffocated and scratched his head for a while, "I think the people of Chang'an City are simple, there shouldn't be such a thing, right?" ”

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and then said: "But it's not impossible, as long as you make a very obvious mark on the barrel." ”

"I think the Ministry of Engineering should do a good job of these trivial things."

"That's what Lone thinks, too."

Zhang Yang was a little different, "Where did you just say?" ”

"Put more garbage cans in the bustling market."

"Yes." Zhang Yang then explained: "The minister also knows that the relationship between the crown prince and the king of Wei is not very good, but if the brothers can help each other in the community, Your Majesty will be happy, and the queen will be at ease." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, this time with a serious face.

"Actually, there's one more thing." Zhang Yang scratched his chin and hesitated: "King Wei took out so much silver and wanted to make meritorious contributions, and the prince can't just look at it and make suggestions, but he can also take part of the credit from it, and the credit can't be taken by King Wei alone." ”

"Hehehe......" Li Chengqian couldn't stop laughing, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Yang and trembled with laughter, "I don't know what to say about you, you are really ......"

"I'm too real." Zhang Yang held his hands and looked serious.

Sincere communication is the best, the prince and the king of Wei have a small relationship is very hostile, repairing Chang'an City is the business of the king of Wei, not so much to help the king of Wei, but to grab credit for the prince.

After men open the skylight and speak brightly, they can enhance friendship even more.

As a member of the East Palace, in addition to managing the prince's words and deeds on weekdays, he must also maintain a good relationship with the prince.

It is also difficult to be a petty official, and the biggest advantage is freedom, you can be absent for two days from time to time, and people will not ask much.

The words also came to the heart, Li Chengqian asked people to bring wine, and by the way, he also took a basket of millet and two silver cakes.

"This is your Lumi, which should have been given to you." Li Chengqian poured the wine, "You are also familiar with the East Palace, and Gu didn't know what to give you, so he added two more silver cakes." ”

The wine was drunk, and the Donggong wine was not good, with a sour taste.

Seeing Li Chengqian's eyes glancing at the two pieces of silver cakes from time to time, Zhang Yang quickly took the silver cakes into his arms.

Now the prince's eyes are finally no longer busy.

"Lone has also read the annals of history, the original king's admiration of Buddhism turned out not to be very good, Buddhism prayed to the world, isn't it a good thing?"

Zhang Yang put down the wine bowl, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if it is useful to pray for blessings?" ”

Li Chengqian frowned and pondered.

"The minister said to the prince like this, the drought in the second year of Zhenguan, has the Buddha taken pity on the common people? What is Dayu controlling the water and Yugong moving mountains for? ”

Li Chengqian was silent again.

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Since ancient times, only we have been saving ourselves, there has never been any Buddha to help the common people, and some are only Dayu, Yugong, every catastrophe, all of us mortals have survived by ourselves." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, ask yourself, do we really believe in Buddhism?"

"But there are many such people in the clan that Lone knows."

Zhang Yang grinned.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Buddhism always welcomes the powerful because they have money, and the powerful beg for a little comfort in their hearts in order to keep their wealth."

Li Chengqian was suspicious: "Is this really the case? ”

Zhang Yang poured wine into the wine bowl again, "What we should believe in is the foolish man who can move mountains, and the Dayu who can control the water, I hope that the prince will strengthen the concept in his heart, and there has always been a strength in our bones, which is a spirit of fighting with the sky and the earth, this spirit has never disappeared, and it has been since ancient times." ”

"This is the truth that we should really pursue in our hearts, this is our heroic righteousness, suffering is temporary, it is used by us to overcome, and after each overcoming we will only become stronger."

Li Chengqian savored these words carefully, clenched his fists, as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

"As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has this spirit, we are not afraid of heaven and earth." Zhang Yang said in a low voice.

"Yes, the heavens are not afraid of the earth! It's been a long time since I've heard such sincere words. Li Chengqian raised his head slowly, "Lone seems to understand how to be a prince." ”

Zhang Yang stood up with a basket of rice, and when he walked out of the East Palace, he looked back at the hall, where Li Chengqian was still sitting and drinking stuffy wine.

Plant a seed in the prince's heart first, and wait for this seed to slowly take root.

At least to give Li Chengqian a positive influence.

When I passed by the Taiji Palace, I bumped into Li Yue, and my daughter-in-law was followed by a little girl.

"It's beauty." Li Yue took her hand and said, "The queen mother agreed, I can accept her as a disciple." ”

Xiao Lizhi saluted slightly, and quickly ran towards the Lizheng Palace.

Li Yue smiled: "She grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she was a little timid, she wanted to learn mathematics, so I taught her." ”

"I want the queen to study again, I have to do questions on weekdays, and I also accept apprentices, you are also very busy." Zhang Yang smiled helplessly.

"That's also my own sister, I have long wanted to accept an apprentice."

Taking Li Yue's hand and walking outside the palace, Zhang Yang said patiently: "You have the talent to learn mathematics, but she may not have it too." ”

"I can teach it slowly, and she learned the multiplication formulas she was given before."

June passes quickly, and after the rainy season of the year, the summer heat of August has arrived.

The sun shone on the head, causing many living beings to wilt and lose their life, and looking from the city gate to the end of Suzaku Street, the scenery in the distance was distorted.

Zhang Yang returned home sweating profusely, and as soon as he walked into the house, he heard the sound of water, in order to get rid of the heat, and he didn't know how many times his daughter-in-law had taken a bath today.

"The letter on the table was brought by Aunt Wang, saying that it was a letter from Gao Chang."

Zhang Yang opened the scroll of letters, poured another sip of cold water and looked at the contents on it, Gao Chang under the management of Adalan was like a wild horse that had escaped from the wild, rampaging in the Western Regions, fighting and winning with some small countries in the Western Regions, but he also made a prestige.

At least no one in the Western Regions dared to provoke the current Gaochang, the slaves who were rescued at the beginning had a good cohesion, and Adalan's measures to discriminate made this cohesion more effective.

It's just that this belligerent pace can't be stopped.

Li Yue, who had taken a bath, was wearing thin clothes, and she looked at a basin of water, and there was some saltpeter in the basin, which was bubbling with a hint of coolness, "What does the letter say." ”

Zhang Yang put the letter aside, "Gao Chang's pace is still too fast, constantly plundering the wealth of the Western Turks, and now the Western Turks hate Gao Chang to the core, and I am also worried that something will happen to him." ”

"Do you want to write a letter to persuade me?"

"It's not necessarily useful, only he knows about Gao Chang's situation, I think he wants to fight to support the war."

Li Yue put away her dress to reveal most of her white legs, and she likes to put away her skirt a little bit.

"The water in the bucket above is almost hot, and it doesn't feel cool at all when washed, so you still have to wash it at night."

"Isn't it useless to make an outer barrel and soak it with saltpeter?"

Li Yue shook his head, "It was a little useful at first, but the sun has been on for so long and the water is hot again." ”

If there is a process for the reaction of saltpeter and water, another layer is made outside the bucket, and the outer bucket is the saltpeter and water reaction to make the water in the inner bucket cooler.

Once the reaction between saltpeter and water is over, the coolness will naturally disappear, and it is really useless to be in the sun like this.

Zhang Yang shook his fan, "I asked Cheng Chumo to spread the method of saltpeter to make ice, Li Junxian wants to continue to investigate the case, now so many people know that saltpeter can be used to make ice, and the purchasing power of saltpeter will be great this summer, and it will be difficult for him to check fireworks now." ”

"Anyway, he only found some fur before." Li Yue said nonchalantly.

At dusk, thunder sounded in the sky, and Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally going to rain." ”

The weather is stuffy and hot, even the paper does not take too long, it will lose water for a long time, and the pulp can still solidify if the water is lost too quickly, leaving the fibers on the bamboo basket.

Aunt Wang came back with the little bear, and she hurriedly said, "The people from the East Palace have come. ”

Li Yue put her legs in the basin of water and felt the coolness, "What are you going to do?" ”

Aunt Wang took out a roll of rice paper, "It is said that Your Majesty has a decree, write down how to correct the words and deeds of the prince on weekdays as a member of the East Palace." ”

"The prince is in trouble?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

Aunt Wang shook her head.

Li Yue said worriedly: "Is that the husband in trouble?" ”

"No, it's because the prince has changed a lot recently, and His Majesty is very satisfied, and wants to know how the concubine teaches the prince and makes people learn, especially in the production of the Chang'an City chart, so that the officials of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Households, and even the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are very satisfied."

"They praised the prince's achievements, and then they talked about the horse, and then let the horse write it down."

Zhang Yang took the rice paper and spread it out, and was about to write, when he put down the pen again.

Li Yue stood aside, "Why didn't you write it again?" ”

"What a good rice paper, it's wasteful to write, it's better to sell it for money."

Li Yue looked at it incredulously, and her husband was still proud, as if she really wanted to do this, "This is what my father asked my husband to write." ”

"What about your father? I just don't want to write anyway. ”

"It's a protest."

"It's nothing to resist a little decree, your father will understand."

"Resistance is resistance, and it has nothing to do with understanding."

"Let's just say that I'm sick and can't hold a pen, and when I hold a pen, I'll spit blood from my mouth, and life is worse than death."

Li Yueqiao stared, "Does Husband think anyone will believe it?" ”

"I don't care, I'm sick anyway, they love to believe it or not."

"But if you write a little, you can explain it to your father."

Without saying a word, Zhang Yang rolled up the rice paper again, and then put it in the drawer he made.

"Husband, you are so unreasonable."

"I'm reasonable, is your father reasonable, how I guide the prince is my business, what is the difference between him and interrogating prisoners, anyway, I don't write."

"I'll write it."

"No way!"

"It's a protest."

"If you let go, if you twist me again, I'm going to use the family law!"

"Our family's family law hasn't been born yet."

A terrible flash of thunder flashed through the sky, followed by a loud rumbling sound as if the ground was shaking.

There was constant thunder outside, and the house was still a warm husband and wife.

The rain was falling heavily, and the downpour brought coolness to the sweltering city of Chang'an, and the rain did not stop until late at night.

Summer mornings are the best time, and after that, it's a hot afternoon.

Originally, I didn't want to go to the East Palace to be on duty today, but I wanted to tidy up the yard in the morning when it was just bright.

Even if it is not a holy decree, Li Shimin's oracle cannot be neglected.

Maybe the emperor waited for his reply and waited all night.

There are still consequences of ignoring Li Shimin, and a eunuch came to the door early in the morning, saying that it was summoned by His Majesty, and it was a summons for the husband and wife.

"Go and meet your father, there is ice in the palace." Zhang Yang said to his daughter-in-law's room.

"I delayed my father's message yesterday, why did my husband still think of going to the palace to eat ice." Li Yue's words came from inside the room.

"If you can eat it on ice, you're welcome."

If you want to see Li Shimin, you must also pay attention to your dress, pay attention to etiquette, and it is inevitable that you will be too stumbling to see the emperor in a short coat and straw sandals.

Li Shimin was disgusted with the hot weather, so if he didn't come in person, he would let his courtiers go over to see him.

Emperors are unreasonable, and in the emperor's thinking, he can say that the whole world is his family property.

Li Yue put on her dress and walked out of the room, looked her husband up and down, and said with a straight face: "How did you cut the sleeves?" ”
