Chapter 639: The Battle of the Protectorate
Tian Khan was also very poor, and he also needed silver money to build a society, and self-motivated emperors would be short of money.
Of course, this money should be used where it should be used.
Li Yue handed over a clean cloth towel and soap.
Dive down first, Zhang Yang always splashed some water when he swam over, Li Yue frowned and wiped the water droplets on his face, "Don't catch a cold." ”
"Hmm."
After washing well in the pool, climbing ashore and changing clothes, my daughter was willing to hug her.
Xiao Qingqing was still playing with the Rubik's Cube in her hand, spinning around wildly until she laughed happily after the Rubik's Cube was put together.
Li Yue looked up at her daughter who was laughing in her husband's arms, and she was always very satisfied
At noon, I made a simple meal.
These days of the Chinese New Year are the most comfortable, these days the family can live in peace, as long as the evil guest of the Tian Khan does not come to disturb him, and the recital of the court is no longer sent, the life of Lishan can be very comfortable.
Zhang Yang eats his own salted pork.
The aunt handed over a volume of letters, "County Marquis, this is sent by His Royal Highness King Wei." ”
"Eat well, it's not good to read the letter halfway, you can't do anything else, it's your family rule."
Li Yue said with a dissatisfied expression.
Zhang Yang ate the bread in his hand in a few bites, stuffed a few pieces of salted pork with a dense texture into his mouth, chewed vigorously in his mouth, and declared to his daughter-in-law that this rule must be observed.
Seeing this, the aunt smiled and said, "It's not a matter of urgency, the county marquis doesn't need to be like this." ”
took the letter, Zhang Yang chewed it in his mouth and looked at it, drank the tea after swallowing it, and looked at the contents of the letter, this is the feeling of reading the diary of a madman written by Pei Xuanji.
At the beginning, I agreed with him to do things for Lishan, and the prerequisite was to write this post-reading feeling.
After reading it, Zhang Yang handed it to Aunt Yang on the side and said, "Are the people still there?" ”
Aunt Yang replied: "That person and His Royal Highness King Wei are waiting outside the village. ”
"Trouble my aunt to send the letter back, just say that there are only a few hundred words and I can't see how thorough his thoughts are, take it back and rewrite it, write it more thoroughly, and the position needs to be firmer."
"Whoa."
At this moment, outside Lishan Village, Pei Xuanji was watching His Royal Highness King Wei roasting ducks, Aunt Yang threw the letter back, and said: "The county marquis said that the writing is not thorough enough, and more than 100 words are not enough." ”
Pei Xuanji hurriedly picked up his letter, "Did the county marquis really read it?" It has been written very thoroughly below. ”
Aunt Yang rode the three hippos back to the village and disappeared from Pei Xuanji's field of vision.
He sat down decadently, "His Royal Highness King Wei, what do you ......say?"
Li Tai brushed the sauce on the roast duck, "What do you say?" ”
Pei Xuanji held his letter with a solemn expression, "Could it be that the county marquis didn't read it at all, but was embarrassed." ”
"Brother Pei, do you know that this king's brother-in-law is not only the county marquis of Lishan, but also the Duzhilang of the court."
"I know it below."
"Since you know, you should understand that at the beginning, the various ministries and guards of the DPRK and the Central Committee wanted to increase the amount of money and wrote a few more chapters, and they were beaten back a few times, how many times they were rewritten, and my brother-in-law is a very strict person."
Pei Xuanji was worried about this, and his eyes were entangled.
After the duck was roasted, Li Tai cut the roast duck and distributed it to his guards, "Brother Pei, you came suddenly, and this king didn't prepare your share." ”
Pei Xuanji didn't care, and raised his eyes to look at the mountain in the distance, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, what is this county marquis doing on the mountain?" ”
Li Tai ate duck legs and explained, "Brother Pei doesn't know, my brother-in-law is seriously ill. ”
"Seriously ill?"
"Well, it's the kind of disease that talks to people and will die soon if you talk too much."
"It's really rare." Pei Xuanji's expression became even more entangled.
Seeing his hesitation, Li Tai explained: "Don't worry, since my brother-in-law has seen you, I will definitely give you an answer, you only need to write the article well, and you need spirit and attitude to deal with the family." ”
Pei Xuanji couldn't stand up, "This county marquis is really ......"
Li Tai shook his head and sighed: "Brother-in-law's illness is incurable, you go back and write first, the quality of the article depends on your ability." ”
Hearing this, Pei Xuanji showed some regret again, "God is jealous of talents, the county marquis got such a strange disease at a young age, it's a pity." ”
The sauce of the roast duck is very delicious, this duck meat is salty and fragrant even the belt meat, and when the person left and walked away, Li Tai said again: "Is there any news from Hebei?" ”
The guard nodded and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, there is no news yet, and it will probably arrive in the next two days." ”
"Hmm." Li Tai nodded, "This Cui Renshi went to Hebei, and this king is not sure." ”
Since the incident in Luoyang passed, Li Tai didn't want to get involved in the bad things his brother-in-law did, but it was okay to inquire about the news, but he still had to hide from the specific matters and not interfere.
However, the Luoyang case was taken over by the DPRK and China, and now Lishan cannot intervene.
Li Tai thought that there was still a matter of impeachment of himself as an adult and a fief in the court, even if his father gave him an official position, those officials would not stop there, wiped his mouth, and he admonished: "Go and let people return the king's mansion in Chang'an to my father." ”
The guard hesitated for a long time, suspecting that he had misheard.
"His Royal Highness King Wei just said that he was going to return the mansion?"
"Yes, return the mansion to my father and the emperor, and shut their mouths."
The guards went to do errands, and the king of Wei returned the mansion, so he made it clear to them that he would not easily return to Chang'an City in the future, and would accompany the emperor's grandfather in Lishan.
In this way, if they dare to impeach, it is the fault of these officials themselves.
Li Tai was already full after eating the duck leg in his hand, and instructed his guards to eat the duck clean, and then returned to the village.
Shangguan Yi and Wu Shi Tong are packing up the goods in the village, and this time Lishan will send more drinks to the Hexi Corridor.
This is the wine saved from last year, and there are more than a thousand jars.
Business has to continue to be done, not only to continue, but also to expand in scale, year by year.
Li Tai made a record and handed it over to Cen Wenwen, the supervisor of the Lishan Distillery, to check, and now he was resting in the middle of the court, and he would wait until after the Lantern Festival to confirm.
There are also a lot of cotton clothes and soap, watching the goods being pulled away by a car, Li Tai's mood is very good, the goods are silver money, is the capital of Lishan's growth, and productivity determines the quantity of goods.
Improving productivity has always been Lishan's pursuit, and Li Tai immersed himself in the big business of building a steam engine, sitting with a group of blacksmiths to solve the remaining technical problems of the steam engine, placing an iron ingot on top of the air port, and when the steam inside is large enough, the steam can lift the iron ingot.
And some gas is released, and when the steam pressure is weakened, the iron ingot will seal the air port, and so on and so on, so that the pressure can be kept in a sufficient state all the time.
With this idea, Li Tai and Master Jiang began to prepare for the next plan.
A pressure cooker alone is enough of a headache, not to mention building a bigger one.
To produce steam, it needs to be burned, and according to the volume of a large pressure cooker, a huge amount of coal is required to burn, and it is too prescient for my brother-in-law to hoard so much coal and stone in the village.
In Chang'an, next to the Taiye Pool under construction in the Imperial Palace, Li Shimin and Cheng Biting the Golden Ox entered and surrounded a school field here.
Looking north from here, there is a pond of liquid that is being excavated.
In Wenchen's opinion, His Majesty repaired the Taiye Pool in order to emulate the Han Emperor back then, and Ming Jun liked to do what Ming Jun had done before.
Recovering the Hexi Corridor, recovering the four towns of Anxi, building the Anxi Protectorate, taking the Tianshan Mountains, pacifying the Western Turks, and conquering Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs in the north.
All these actions can be attributed to His Majesty's desire to be a Ming Jun, and this feat is enough.
His Majesty knows that he can't match Han Wu, but he has been working hard.
From beginning to end, His Majesty never mentioned that he wanted to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, even if there were any more ministers to admonish, they were all beaten back by His Majesty one by one.
As for the reason, His Majesty has openly and secretly talked about the land of the four counties of Liaodong, and the Goguryeo people have not yet surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has not yet recovered the Goguryeo land.
The territory of the Central Plains to the west and east have not yet been attached, so how can we talk about Mount Tai Feng Zen?
The eldest grandson Wuji sat on the side drinking wine, and the shouts of Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda were in his ears, and he glanced at the two of them impatiently.
As if noticing his gaze, Cheng Yanjin responded with a mouthful of saliva.
And the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji became more and more disdainful.
Discord between the DPRK and Chinese has always been a headache.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, there has been no harmony between the Chinese and the armed forces of the DPRK, and there have been frequent fights and spits.
If you are not in the court, you will not deal with it in private.
The martial arts are strong, and the literati are rampant, this is the unique scenery of the Tang Dynasty.
Under the fierce folk customs in Guanzhong, the literati are not easy to mess with.
Since last year, the eldest grandson Wuji talked about the post of Anxi Protector, the government and the opposition have moved when they hear the news, and the civil officials and military generals want to take the post of Protector, which is related to the stability of the Guanwai, and even the same as Pei Xingjian can go to Persia.
Such a good position, both the civil and military sides want to hold it.
In this regard, regardless of how deep the contradiction between martial arts is, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the heavenly khan of the world, Li Shimin behaved very leisurely about this situation.
If you can manage it, you can manage it, and if you can't control it, you will pull it down.
What the young Tang Dynasty wants is this vitality, if everyone performs their duties and refuses to take risks or forge ahead, then such a "harmonious" court is what Li Shimin does not want.
Pull the bow and arrow, shoot an arrow, and the arrow hits the bull's-eye.
Li Chengqian handed over another arrow, "Father is a good archer." ”
"Hehe, I'm getting older, and I don't know how many years I will be able to shoot a bow." Li Shimin was talking with a bow and arrow, and he unexpectedly found that as long as he regarded the target as Zhang Yang's proud smiling face.
In this way, you can shoot accurately.
Another arrow was fired, hitting the bullseye accurately.
In this way, as if he was angry, he shot five arrows in a row, and Li Shimin's elbows and shoulders couldn't stand it, so he dropped his bow and sat down with his shoulders moving.
No matter how much money Zhang Yang has in Lishan, the Hexi Corridor is still mine, and the taxes in the Hexi Corridor will be me.
There are still a long years to come, and it will be interesting to see how much use this kid has.
How many more years can he live, let people wash the Chengtian Gate, and wait for the day he will be hanged.
Li Chengqian warmed the wine for his father, "The wine they brought from Lishan is beautiful, and I invite my father to taste it." ”
The ignorant prince still mentioned Lishan at this time, but he didn't know why His Majesty was angry and shot arrows.
Li Shimin doesn't blame him, there are some things that the prince will not say to this son clearly, mention, mention, and mention.
No matter how many times he mentions it, he will not become enlightened.
There are some things that he can only comprehend and comprehend by himself.
Cheng Biting Jin's big voice was wow-wow-wow, "Your Majesty, how about I wait to go to the winter hunt?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly: "The puppet doesn't know how to multiply, go hunting in winter at this time, if the prey is all killed by you, there will be no prey in the spring of the next year, and the fisherman still knows how to catch big fish and release small fish, and he will not kill them all like this." ”
When the words fell, Cheng Yanjin slapped the table heavily, "Huh! From the point of view of a certain family, your eldest grandson Wuji just doesn't want His Majesty to be happy. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his head, "Cheng Lao Pifu, you are also old, Your Majesty cares about the country, how can you let you mess around." ”
Listening to the dispute between the two, Li Shimin went out of the palace to shoot arrows this time, of course, not for hunting, but in his heart, especially the idea of hanging Zhang Yang's kid in front of Chengtianmen became stronger.
He sent Da'an to pass through Liaodong, and the DPRK and China naturally wanted to interrogate.
In the past two years, the concerts sent by Liaodong have been seen in person, and I heard that this Zhang Da'an was a stupid boy in the East Palace, and he didn't want to go through Zhang Yang's guidance, but this son really has the ability to govern Liaodong properly.
As long as Liaodong is safe and raises troops and people, it will not be too difficult to take Goguryeo.
Li Shimin bent his bow and arrows again, the bowstring vibrate, and another arrow was shot, but it still hit accurately.
"I heard that the government and the opposition have been talking about the position of protector of the government recently?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are indeed many people talking about it." The eldest grandson Wuji replied.
"Your Majesty! A certain general thought that Du Hu was the leader of the army, and it was necessary for the military generals of the DPRK and China to take responsibility. ”
"Definitely!" The eldest grandson Wuji emphasized: "Duhu still has to govern the outside of the Guan, only use military armor to deter, but I don't know how to govern, sooner or later there will be an accident, like educating the Turks, educating them, and asking the hearts of the people to belong to the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Shimin's expression was bored, "Auxiliary, Zhijie, don't argue, there are Hanhai Metropolitan Protectorate and Tianshan Road in front of you, Tubo, all of which are building Metropolitan Protectorate, and it involves the diplomacy of the Central Plains, so you should also listen to the thoughts of the Ministry of Etiquette." ”
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, how can a tender official manage the capital and protect the mansion." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also said: "The minister also thinks that the Imperial Protectorate should not be presided over by the Ministry of Rites, it is a matter of military affairs and local governance, and it is also the support of the hearts of the people outside the country, Your Majesty thinks twice." ”
"It seems that both of you think that the authority of the Metropolitan Protector should not be held by the Ministry of Rites?"
Cheng Yanjin and the eldest grandson Wuji nodded in unison, and the two reached a consensus in this regard, both the civil and military sides want to get the Metropolitan Protectorate, but first they must let the Ministry of Rites hand over the authority of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and then let the civil and military sides fight.
"This matter still depends on the opinions of Xuan Ling and Zheng Gong, I will think about it carefully."
After recovering the four towns of Anxi, you can build the Anxi Protectorate, and now Datang has a new pie, which is not drawn, but real, no longer for their own status and the immediate interests of internal friction, refuse to roll in, do not consume.
Rather, it is to open up new interests and new competitiveness to the outside world, so as to enhance the positive impact of the enthusiasm of the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs.
It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a commuter pass! (very loud)
