Chapter 640: The Heavenly Khan Who Wants to Take the Capital Protectorate

Li Shimin drank tea on the school field, it was the first month of the year, the weather was still cold, the tea swallowed his throat, let out a breath again, and turned into a white mist in the cold air.

Zhang Yang's way of business, Li Shimin is not interested, as for what he said about the involution, he has not yet seen the crux of the problem.

As rumored to have it, the demon's words became more and more incomprehensible.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin each put on a stinky face and looked at each other with disgust.

Li Shimin stopped again to look at the Taiye Pond that was being excavated in the distance, and after blocking the waterway, the river channel was exposed, and a group of people were digging in the river, and baskets of silt were dug up from the bottom of the river.

After a few more glances, the emperor left.

Leaving Cheng Biting Jin and the eldest grandson Wuji, Niu Jinda and the others still have a stinky face.

Chewing on the jerky in his mouth, Niu Jinda frowned and looked at the fresh face standing straight on the side, "I haven't heard that the military department has recruited people recently, where did this person come from?" ”

Cheng Yanjin explained: "This is Li Daoyan's younger brother, the child of General Li Shentong back then, said that he asked Li Daozong to arrange the position in the Wei Mansion, and the guy before was old, so let this doll take his place." ”

Niu Jin Daduo glanced at Li Xiaoyi, nodded and said: "Looking at the murderous aura on his face, it seems that he is a good seedling, it is a pity to stay in Chang'an City." ”

"The brothers of Li Daoyan's family look good, this kid used to mess with a certain child, Hayano is used to it, and he came to the army to give him a good practice."

From before the Chinese New Year to now, before the New Year's court, the dispute between the DPRK and China over the power of the Imperial Protectorate has intensified.

Back in the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin had just sat down, and the eunuch on the side whispered: "Your Majesty, Xu Yushi asks to see you." ”

Thinking of Xu Xiaode, I heard that he also went to Lishan on Chinese New Year's Eve.

How long has it been since I returned to Chang'an City? This is the hurried face-to-face again.

Li Shimin nodded.

When the little eunuch received the look, he invited the person up.

It was the day of the recess, and the officials of the court and the central government rarely wore official uniforms to meet them, and even when they met His Majesty, they were all dressed in ordinary clothes.

This is also because Li Shimin was close to the veterans who pacified the world together, and in private, everyone was still the same as when they were in the Qin Palace.

glanced at Xu Xiaode, and said in a low voice: "It is the time for the court to rest, I hope you can take care of your family more." ”

"Your Majesty, the controversy between the government and the opposition over the Metropolitan Protectorate has intensified, and the officials of the various ministries in the DPRK and the Central Committee have been arguing endlessly on this matter.

Xu Xiaode is a person who is only interested in fairness and justice, he has always practiced his persistence, and there are few mistakes in his actions and words.

And this kind of person has a clean background, does not stand in line with the DPRK and China, dares to expose it, and dares to fight against evil forces.

This kind of person is liked by any emperor.

Li Shimin was a little entangled in his heart when he heard this, "Do you want to make a decision on this matter right away?" ”

"If Your Majesty has an arrangement in mind, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible."

Li Shimin stood up, looked outside the Ganlu Palace, turned his back to him and said, "What do you think of the Goguryeo people now." ”

His Majesty did not reply, but instead asked the Goguryeo people.

Today, envoys from various countries come to congratulate the only one who does not have Goguryeo, and since the Sui Dynasty, it has cut off contact with the Central Plains.

This connection has been severed for decades, and there has been no news of it since.

Regarding Goguryeo's evaluation, Xu Xiaode bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Goguryeo is separated by Liaodong Mountain, if the Central Plains Pingding Dynasty is prosperous, they will have the heart to belong, if the Central Plains is turbulent, they want to divide the land and rule, and have always wanted to cross the river to invade Liaodong." ”

"Since the Han Dynasty, the four counties of Goguryeo are particularly active in asking for the king, but there is little real surrender, respect the Central Plains as the upper kingdom and obey it, if the Central Plains is in turmoil again, they will never give the Central Plains help, and even fall into the ground, these countries do not levy or disobey, and the conquest is surrendered but then repeatedly, it is a country at both ends of the rat's head."

"At that time, Han Guangwu restored the title of King of Goguryeo, but when the Central Plains was in turmoil, he marched west to seize the city, and Cao Wei took advantage of the turmoil in the Han Dynasty to expand vigorously."

"Later Cao Wei conquered Goguryeo twice, and later Goguryeo sent envoys to surrender to Cao Wei, resulting in the destruction of Northern Yan, Goguryeo took advantage of the situation to annex the entire Liaodong, so far Goguryeo went north several times, resulting in several wars in Liaodong, and the people were not able to live."

"Then there is the former Sui four battles against Goguryeo, pacified Liaodong, and asked Goguryeo Infant Yang King Gao Yuan to enter the court, but Goguryeo refused, but the former Sui ......"

The words stopped at this point.

At that time, what happened Li Shimin also knew that the Central Plains was turbulent, and Yang Guang's soldiers and horses could not continue, so they could only retreat.

Li Shimin's eyes were cloudy, and before he could speak, he only heard Xu Xiaode say again: "Your Majesty, Goguryeo betrayed the Central Plains several times, gave the title without knowing it, worshiped the Central Plains as the upper country, and repeatedly took the opportunity to covet the territory of the Central Plains. ”

Seo Hyo-deok expressed his evaluation of Goguryeo.

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said, "If I want to go east to Goguryeo, what do you think?" ”

It snowed heavily outside the Ganlu Palace, and Xu Xiaode bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the amount of soldiers, horses, money and food used in the former Sui Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo is immeasurable. ”

"The timing, the timing, you are all talking to me about the timing, how many of my soldiers in the Central Plains are still in another country, I am determined to order Zhongshu Province to draw up a national letter, and order the Ministry of Rites to send an envoy to Goguryeo to send my national letter."

Li Shimin frowned deeply, and his hands were clenched into fists.

I thought that it would be not good for His Majesty to come forward in person in this matter, and it would be more appropriate to let the Ministry of Rites arrange people to go to Goguryeo by itself, after all, even if it was discussed afterwards, this was also a matter between the Ministry of Rites and Goguryeo, not a matter between His Majesty and Goguryeo.

Today, His Majesty is respected as the Khan of Heaven by all countries, and his heart is so high here.

Xu Xiaode didn't say much, so he could only salute with both hands, "The minister asked Zhongshu Province to draft the charter first." ”

After speaking, he looked at His Majesty's back again, bowed and withdrew.

Walking from the Ganlu Hall to Zhongshu Province, it was the time for the court to rest, and only Zheng Gong was on duty in Zhongshu Province at this moment.

Wen Yanbo had previously talked about the strategy of Liaodong, and now His Majesty has mentioned it again.

Wei Zheng looked at Xu Xiaode in front of him, "The old man knows, so he will discuss it with Fang Xiang." ”

After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Xu Xiaode with a suspicious expression, "Did Your Majesty talk about this matter, or did you say it?" ”

"Back to Zheng Gong, Xia Guan only mentioned the matter of the Protectorate of the Mansion, and did not mention Goguryeo, His Majesty mentioned it first, Xia Guan is not good to say, and asked Zheng Gong to help His Majesty decide."

Xu Xiaode said it correctly, and then said: "The lower officials think that Your Majesty actually talked about this matter, and it is imperative to conquer Liaodong, and the king of Goguryeo must hand over the land of the four counties, if they don't return it, the Tang Dynasty will not recognize their identity, and it will be a borderless land, and you can order all countries to attack it together." ”

Wei Zhengzheng said: "You go back, it's Xiu Mu, and we'll talk about these things later." ”

Xu Xiaode bowed deeply and withdrew from Zhongshu Province, and the entire imperial city was empty and quiet.

His Majesty's will was sent to Zhongshu Province, and Wei Zheng discussed it with Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, agreed on the charter, and sent the chapter to the Ministry of Rites.

To say that it was the season of rest, in the cold winter, Xu Jingzong was sleeping soundly at home wrapped in a futon, and the mother-in-law of the family walked into the room with the child, "Get up, someone from the court is looking for you." ”

Xu Jingzong opened his eyes slightly and closed them again, "This Xiu Mutian, how can the people in the court come?" ”

"Old bastard! is still sleeping, there is a team of officers and soldiers standing at the door of the house, and the neighbors are watching! How do you live this day! ”

Listening to his wife scolding at home, Xu Jingzong just got up and dressed lazily, Zhang Shangshu was not in the Ministry of Rites, he was too busy last year, and finally arrived at Xiu Mu to sleep for a few more days, and he didn't want anyone to disturb him.

I walked out of the house in a depressed mood, my clothes were thin and shivering in the cold wind.

Boots stepped on the snow in the courtyard, Xu Jingzong hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the door of his house, looked at the few officers and soldiers in front of him, who were from the door, he looked at the neighbors who were talking around again, and asked with an arrogant expression: "I don't know if it's Xiu Mu now?" You are waiting to disturb the old man. ”

Xu Jingzong does have the capital to be arrogant now, and he has made a lot of meritorious contributions to Zhang Yang in the Ministry of Rites, and it is rumored that there will be a reward this year.

The person who came was a scribe under the five sects, "It is a charter sent by Zhongshu Province, please take a look at it." ”

Looking at this attitude, as well as the respectful appearance of these officials who came to ask, they all said that Xu Jingzong's position in the court is very good now, and everyone also left with a smile.

can behave like this in front of outsiders, but in front of his wife, Xu Jingzong should be honest or honest.

Looking at the content of the charter, as soon as I saw the words Goguryeo and Liaodong, I felt that I couldn't make the decision on this matter, and I had to ask Zhang Shangshu.

Let these scribes leave first, Xu Jingzong went back to the house to clean up, and then hurriedly walked out of the house again, this year has not yet opened the court, there are such things, it seems that this year will not stop.

It was a period of respite, and the Foreign Affairs House was also closed.

Xu Jingzong had no choice but to find Zhang Daxiang and Dasu first, and went to Lishan to meet Zhang Shangshu together.

At this moment, in Lishan, Zhang Yang and Li Tai sat together at the entrance of the village, discussing the casting of the steam engine in the future.

Zhang Gongjin sat on the side and listened to the two discuss the drawings, and it was very interesting to listen to these words, especially some principles that had not been heard before.

Li Tai envisioned the construction of a steam engine the size of a warehouse, the size of a house, and the reason for this idea was that it took into account the sufficient service life, and the increase in volume also took into account the creation of a larger pressure difference.

It also allows for the control of the exhaust valve, which can control the amount of vapor pressure.

This is still a very vague concept for Li Tai, and he needs to practice many times to get results.

The whole warehouse is a water tank, made of iron to seal the water, the water tank has two mouths, one of which is put into the coal and stone burning boiler, and the boiler is buried in the water tank, can not burn the whole tank to produce steam.

The resulting steam copper pipes, even the copper pipes, are buried in the tank, and the layers of folded copper pipes accumulate steam and are discharged from the other end of the tank.

And so, the basic drawings are done.

Li Tai said in a low voice: "I have to try a few more times." ”

Looking up, my brother-in-law was holding a piece of paper on which he had written and putting it in a bowl of water.

Zhang Gongjin also looked curiously, the paper was completely soaked, put in some white crushed stone powder, and stirred vigorously.

Originally, the ink on the paper began to scratch, and after changing the water several times, the paper was soaked and mushy, and the water after changing the washing became cleaner and cleaner.

Seeing that the paper in the water bowl had become wisps of fiber, Li Tai was surprised: "This is my brother-in-law's paper recycling technique?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded.

"But the paper is soaked like this, how can you use it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Gongjin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, stroked his beard and said: "Paper is made from pulp, and after washing, it can also be used in the same way to become paper again." ”

"The teacher is right, in the process of paper recycling, there will always be loss, and it is very good that we can use the recycled paper to six achievements at our current level in Lishan."

A piece of paper that was originally square has now become fibrous when soaked in water, and it will break when it is pulled, and the ink has been washed away.

"What did my brother-in-law just add to the water?"

"It's just the secret recipe we use to make soap in Lishan."

"It's as simple as that?" Li Tai was more and more surprised.

"What's so difficult about this, although the efficiency of using alkali to wash off the ink is a little worse, it is good to be able to recycle."

"That brother-in-law said ......"

"I only recently figured it out, I originally wanted to use nitrate, but then I found that it was too troublesome to re-prepare that thing, and it was not good to re-open a workshop with the manpower of Lishan, so I thought of ready-made soap, but this thing hurts my hands, so I don't touch it with my hands after encountering water."

Zhang Yang spread out another piece of paper, writing the process while narrating: "The recycled paper is first soaked in water and mashed, then cleaned three or two times, divided into four or five pools, after cleaning, then deinking, and then continued to be cleaned until the paper is soaked and becomes a pulp with coarse fibers." ”

"Then press them into new paper." Li Tai immediately answered.

"Old paper can't be directly pressed into new paper, because their fibers have been destroyed once, and they need to be mixed with new pulp, and the recycled pulp from old paper is mixed with new pulp, and the proportion can only be mastered by His Royal Highness King Wei."

Now Li Tai has put down the matter of Luoyang, and no longer cares about the discussion of Chang'an City, he has devoted all his thoughts to the construction and production of Lishan.

Although his weight loss career is a failure, he has made great progress in construction and production, and he has spent the most years in Lishan in the past few years.

This fat man's current technical level is the highest in the village, and he grasps the production technology with one hand.

He is talking about the next research direction of Lishan technology.

Not long after, Xu Jingzong came with Zhang Daxiang and Da Su riding horses.

Zhang Yang folded his hands and frowned: "Isn't this Xiu Mu?" How did they get here? ”

Xu Jingzong hurriedly turned over and dismounted with someone and handed over the recital, "It's about Liaodong, and I also ask Zhang Shangshu to look at it." ”

What is written on the chapter is that today's Khan wants Goguryeo to return the bones of the soldiers of the Central Plains.

Since the teacher was present, Zhang Yang handed over the recital, "Please also ask the teacher to look at it." ”

The cold wind blew, Zhang Gongjin tightened his clothes, stroked his beard and said: "The matter of Goguryeo is too far away, and it is in the midst of a dispute over the power of the Imperial Protectorate, Your Majesty has ulterior motives for talking about this matter at this time, you should consider it carefully." ”

Xu Jingzong hurriedly saluted, "Xie Zou Guogong mentioned that at the time when the DPRK and China were fighting for the capital protection mansion, His Majesty did not mention the regulations of the capital protection mansion, but mentioned Goguryeo far away in Liaodong, and the affairs of Liaodong have always been arranged by our Ministry of Rites. ”

"In this way, we have to hand over the power of the Imperial Protectorate and let it be arranged by the DPRK and China, in exchange for the situation of painstakingly managing Liaodong from being destroyed."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was silent.

Zhang Yang said melancholy: "The vicious emperor's heart, I want to pick up the fruits of the hard work of the Ministry of Rites, just take it, and we want to be justified, and we want to be willing." ”

Xu Jingzong said the reason for the matter again, and after Xu Xiaode met once, His Majesty made this decision.

He won't talk about Liaodong for no reason, and the drunkard doesn't mean to drink.

Li Shimin, the Khan of the sky, his intentions in life are compared with those of previous years...... is getting deeper and deeper, and the use of power is quiet, and it is becoming more and more sophisticated.
