"And you have read the books of the sages all your life in vain, but you can only be a person who talks about it, turning a blind eye to the evil deeds of the family!"

The old gentlemen were almost crazy, they stomped their feet and lamented, and cursed angrily!

"Zhang Yang! Don't you have selfish intentions? You build Lishan and make a lot of money! ”

Saluting to everyone again, Zhang Yang straightened up with his hands, "Everyone, hurry up and wake up, you open your eyes and look at what is happening in Luoyang, and look at how many poor students in this world have no way out, they can't raise their heads in the dust, and they can't find a way out in their lives, have you ever thought about it." ”

"How long has the mountain of the family been pressed on the community, haven't you found that they value the interests of the family and the country, and they have built their own moat in disregard of the society, and they are the thieves who want to divide one side."

Since Zhang Yang began to argue with these old gentlemen, he did not take a step back from the family, nor did he let the imperial examination take a step back.

Li Shimin, who was sitting behind the curtain, stood up and left from the back of the Taiji Hall.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the many old gentlemen who were furious, beckoned Li Junxian to come over, and he instructed in a low voice: "Take these old gentlemen back to the other hospital, and let the Imperial Medical Department send three or two medical officers to take care of them, don't let them leave, and don't let them touch them." ”

"Whoa."

Zhao Guogong can only protect them at the moment, no one knows what will happen to these old gentlemen when they leave the Taiji Palace, and what will happen to them.

The people have not yet left the Taiji Palace, and the controversy in the hall has already spread.

Seeing that these old people were still scolding and leaving, Zhang Yang stood in place and looked at the old gentleman who was helped away, "Old Mr. Shen must have understood at this moment." ”

Some of the old gentlemen drooped their faces, and some were furious.

An argument came to an end.

This time, the other party underestimated the enemy.

Fang Xuanling looked worried, "Presumably, it won't take half a month, and all the scholars in Shandong will know what happened here." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face was solemn, "They won't give up." ”

The prince walked quickly, "Your Majesty invites Zhang Shilang to go to the Ganlu Palace." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "You go, the old man will arrange the affairs here." ”

Zhang Yang nodded when he heard this, and left in the footsteps of Wang Gonggong.

Walking out of the Taiji Palace, the cold wind blew the clothes and hunted, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the wind became stronger.

"Lao Wang, what is Your Majesty looking for me?"

The prince said with a smile: "How many times have I said it, the old slave must not ask His Majesty's thoughts." ”

Seeing that he didn't give up, he said again: "Oops...... Zhang Shilang is always embarrassed by the old slave, and the old slave can only tell Zhang Shilang that His Majesty is in a very good mood. ”

"Thank you for your advice." Zhang Yang smiled and nodded.

Unconsciously, it snowed heavily for a day, and the snow in front of the Ganlu Hall was very thick, and the palace people swept out a small path.

"Brother-in-law!" Li Lizhi took Li Zhigang out of the Manna Hall and jumped forward.

"Princess Changle, how is Shangshu Province doing?"

"Shangshu Province has nothing to do, just take my younger brothers and sisters to tidy up every day." Li Lizhi took a book from her younger brother Li Zhi, "Brother-in-law, please see, the experimental process done by the childish slave." ”

Zhang Yang took the scroll and opened it to look at it, and Li Zhi used the principle of lever to combine the relationship between air pressure and modify the pump of the well.

Looking at the drawings, a huge lever became the handle for pumping.

Li Zhi explained: "Brother-in-law, can I design this way to save more effort when collecting water? ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "His Royal Highness King Jin can try." ”

Li Li sighed, "I also persuaded the slave, but he was not convinced, and he had to bother to build this thing." ”

Zhang Yang handed the booklet back, "Your father has something serious to talk to me about, and I will teach you another day." ”

"Okay." Li Zhi replied loudly.

"Brother-in-law, let's go back to the Lizheng Hall first."

"Hmm."

The siblings whispered and left.

The inside of the temple is always very dark, and only the oil lamps lit in it can be seen outside, the houses are not high, the windows are not spacious, and the lighting in the temple is poor.

Zhang Yang patted off some of the snow on his body and walked into the hall.

"No need to be polite."

Before he could salute, he heard His Majesty's voice.

Li Shimin looked at the scroll and didn't raise his head, "Give me a seat." ”

The prince graciously brought the chairs.

sat down first, Zhang Yang took the tea again, and the two of them looked at each other speechlessly.

After being quiet for a long time, Li Shimin finally finished reading the scroll in his hand, "This is the third volume of geography sent by your Foreign Affairs Academy. ”

Zhang Yang drank tea without a sip.

"It describes the situation of the Tibetan Snow Mountains, as well as the customs and customs of Persia, is the Great Food really powerful?"

"Xu Shilang from the Foreign Affairs Yuan is in contact with the Great Cannibal, and he will report back to His Majesty in a few days."

Li Shimin stood up and put the scroll on the bookshelf on the side, "I just heard you talking to them outside the palace, and these children of mine rely on you as a brother-in-law. ”

"It's a younger brother and sister, and the minister naturally has to take care of it."

"Hmm." The emperor nodded in agreement first, and he sat down again, "How is Zhang Gongjin's body lately?" ”

"The teacher's body can't be said to deteriorate, but the stubborn disease is difficult to get rid of, and it will eventually drag down the viscera."

"How long will he live?"

The emperor's question was straightforward, and it would make people feel uncomfortable to ask such a question.

Zhang Yang sighed: "I don't know, now I can only rely on medicine to regulate, if it doesn't deteriorate, it can last for a few years, mainly because the environment in Lishan is very good." ”

He looked at Lao Wang on the side, and then said: "Lishan is a good place to raise people, and the minister suggested that Lao Wang can also come to Lishan to retire in the future." ”

Lao Wang kept making his eyes, and he could only bow his head in the face of His Majesty, and his expression was very entangled for a while, he couldn't laugh if he wanted to, and he couldn't explain it.

Li Shimin looked at it in front of him, "The things up and down in the palace still depend on him, and I can't hand him over to you." ”

Zhang Yang drank tea, the tea in the palace was always very strong, and he had drunk the tea in the palace before, and His Majesty's tea seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

"Your Majesty, if the old king is dizzy in the future and can't be left and right for Your Majesty, you can also send Lishan, and the minister can not wait."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Did you hear that?" Zhang Yang misses you very much. ”

The prince saluted again and again, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of the old slave, the old slave is around Your Majesty all his life." ”

Zhang Yang still had a smile on his face, "I said it all, I can wait." ”

These words made Lao Wang lower his posture.

"Your Majesty, I heard Brother Wen say that as long as those old gentlemen are settled, they won't worry about me in the future."

Li Shimin nodded, "I did say it. ”

"That ...... now"

"Didn't those old gentlemen leave Chang'an City yet? What are you anxious about? ”

There is no written evidence, no will, just the emperor's verbal promise, if he turns his face and denies it, and the emperor has no choice, is it difficult to shout injustice in front of Chengtianmen?

The emperor is unreliable.

Cen Wenwen hurriedly entered the hall, "Your Majesty, the content of this discussion has been recorded, and the prime minister and Zhao Guogong are also listening, and your Majesty is invited to take a look." ”

Zhang Yang crossed his legs and leaned on the armrest of the chair, "Brother Wen, you have harmed me very much." ”

Cen Wenwen said helplessly: "All matters in the DPRK and China have never been decided by the lower officials alone, and if there is a resolution, it is also decided by the whole province of Zhongshu." ”

"Your entire Zhongshu Province is harming me."

"Zhang Shilang's words in the Taiji Hall shook his heart, and soon all the scholars and students in Chang'an will know."

Zhang Yang held his forehead, "Will you come and kill me after you know about it?" ”

Zhang Shilang laughed, at this moment, the Hongwen Pavilion was already full of cheers, and many students were already standing in front of the Suzaku Gate, and they were going to come to salute Zhang Shilang in the wind and snow.

Li Shimin went through the record of deliberations, "Now that the position of the DPRK and China has been clearly explained to those old gentlemen, are there any arrangements for the future?" ”

Zhang Yang looked at Cen Wenwen.

The other party did not reply.

"Cen Wenwen, you should step back first."

"Whoa."

The wind and snow outside the hall were still there, Zhang Yang glanced at Lao Wang again, and at this moment he looked down at the ground, as if petrified and motionless.

If it weren't for the ups and downs of his breathing, I would have thought he was a statue.

"I ask you, how is Lishan's preparations?"

"I want to say that Lishan is not ready and can't do it, there is a lot of paper in stock now, and the new assembly line can also be put into production, and 10,000 books can be printed."

Li Shimin put down the discussion record and put it on the table, "10,000 copies are not enough, I want 100,000 copies." ”

"Do you want to give money to the court?"

Zhang Yang immediately asked, "We also have a cost for printing books in Lishan, even if we don't make money, at least let me return to my roots, Your Majesty doesn't want to watch Lishan collapse." ”

"Aren't you worried about the taxes in the Hexi Corridor? I'll give you another 30%. ”

Zhang Yang thought in his heart, "That is, eighty percent of the tax?" ”

The emperor had a dark face, and his eyes seemed to say that it was all for you, how much more do you want?

Anyway, there is no money in the palace, so I have to promise Lishan the future tax of the Hexi Corridor, and the Hexi Corridor is under construction, and it is not a matter of three or two days to pay taxes.

"Your Majesty, the minister has one more request."

Li Shimin nodded, "It's okay for you to say it." ”

Zhang Yang changed his sitting posture, "First of all, the taxes of the Hexi Corridor are determined by Lishan, especially the exchange of goods outside the customs, and secondly, the construction cost of the Hexi Corridor is shared equally with Lishan, and Lishan has the power to decide how much goods circulate. ”

"How do you want to set your taxes?"

"The commercial tax is very complicated, it is not a matter of words, I can make it clear, and when we have formulated the writing chapter, we will present it to Your Majesty."

"It's okay, anyway, you and Yue'er can enter the palace at any time."

"One more thing." Zhang Yang swallowed a sip of tea, "I need the right to govern Liaodong, these can be handed over to the Foreign Affairs Yuan, and Your Majesty can rest assured that we will not touch the right to mobilize troops and horses in Liaodong." ”

"That's fine."

"Dare to ask Your Majesty what books need to be printed."

In the Ganlu Palace, the monarch and the ministers discussed in a low voice, and the arrangements between Liaodong and Hexi for the next few years were agreed, and Zhang Yang walked out of the Ganlu Palace.

The wind and snow were so heavy that people couldn't open their eyes, and the wind and snowflakes were blowing on the face.

"Lao Wang, is there really a lot of scholars gathered in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate?"

"Back to the county marquis, the news just sent here, there are about a thousand people, they are all here to praise the county marquis, and they stand up for them in the Taiji Hall today."

Zhang Yang stood in place with his hands in his hands, "Are there any other doors to leave the palace?" ”

Wang Gonggong was puzzled: "What does the county marquis mean?" ”

"We've known each other for so many years, and you know me too, I'm a relatively low-key person."

"Please come with the old slave, there is a way."

Follow him all the way to the west of the Ganlu Palace, walk through the Taiji Hall, and then walk through a courtyard, passing through the back door of the storehouse, and there is a dilapidated scene in front of you.

The prince stepped on the rubble and explained: "This place has been abandoned for a long time, and it has not been built for many years. ”

You can also see the occasional wild cat.

The wind and snow are falling, and it seems that this place is even more bleak.

Further on, there is a pond overgrown with aquatic plants, walking over the wooden bridge, and another place.

The houses here are quite neat, the ground is still clean, and there are palace maids walking around, and they hurriedly bowed down and saluted when they saw the princess.

"This is the Yeting Palace, and the palace maids who have committed crimes will be here, doing some miscellaneous hard work, and the way for the county marquis to get out is ahead."

Two miles further on, there was a small wooden door.

Wang Gonggong explained: "Out of this gate is Fanglin Gate, and the county marquis can take a detour back." ”

Zhang Yang pushed open the wooden door, and in front of him was a palace wall of the palace, where three or two guards were stationed, and there was indeed a gate.

"In the past, there were palace maids who would leave here to go to Chang'an City to buy things, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, because the Yeting Palace fell into disrepair, this door was also abandoned, and not many people knew about this place in the palace."

Zhang Yang nodded clearly, "It's still Lao Wang's righteousness." ”

Wang Gonggong explained: "The old slave will not be sent. ”

"You must remember to retire in Lishan, I will arrange the things in the future, today I told Your Majesty, I will continue to fight for it in the future."

"The kindness of the county marquis, the old slave has it."

"Please also ask the prince to tell those who are waiting at the Suzaku Gate, and say that he has already gone home, so there is no need to wait."

"The old slave understands."

The abandoned palace was strange and gloomy, and Zhang Yang walked out of this palace gate, and there was a secluded alley in front of him.

First looked left and right, confirmed the direction of Hong Lim, from here all the way to the West Market, there are finally pedestrians in front of me.

The palace is a cold palace, and behind it is a palace in disrepair.

Just thinking about it, I feel that it is infiltrating, maybe how many people have died in the harem inexplicably, and it has become a garden of human fertilizer, and the weeds over there are also strangely lush, and they can be lush in winter.

Zhang Yang quickened his pace and passed all the way from the West Market, bypassing the trail, and passing through Suzaku Street to the East Market.

Tightening his clothes, Zhang Yang exhaled a breath of white mist in the cold air.

As Cen Wenwen said, at this moment, there was a group of scholars stopping at the Vermilion Bird Gate, and after Zhang Yang sped up his pace and walked through the Vermilion Bird Street into the East Market, his heart was a lot more steady.

Along the way, I bought some meat and vegetables to cook at the market for the evening, and then turned into the side road to go home.

Even if there are tens of millions of disputes outside, it is still the warmest at home.

The aunt was clearing the snow in the yard, "County Marquis, you're back." ”

Zhang Yang took off his official hat and nodded and walked into the house, his daughter was sleeping on the back of the bear, and Xiao Wu was sleeping soundly against the bear.

Moving the stove that was still burning to the door, Zhang Yang walked lightly to his daughter-in-law, she sat in a rocking chair with her hands in a cotton sleeve and fell asleep.

After looking at her sleeping face for a while, Zhang Yang helped her head up and put a cotton pillow on her.

Thanks for the commuter pass, it was added.

The first day of June is off to a great start!

Ask for a commuter pass!
