Chapter 689: The Weather Comes Late in Autumn

At this moment, in Qujiang Pond, Zhang Yang is frying the freshly killed fish on the iron frame, three years have passed, and there are too many fish here.

Step your foot into the pool and the fish will surround your feet.

Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Wu put their feet in the water and kicked the fish away with their feet, and after a while they would surround them again.

The rain was much lighter, and Aunt Yang was still holding an umbrella and was afraid that the little county lord would catch a cold because of the rain.

The couple sat in the water pavilion, leisurely eating a fried fish and a porridge.

When Li Shimin walked into the Qujiang Pond in the rain, he saw this leisurely family in the quiet Qujiang Pond.

Li Shimin wore a round-necked shirt and was surrounded by several palace attendants and walked into the water pavilion of Qujiang Pond.

Seeing that Zhang Yang was looking at the book and didn't notice himself, he coughed his throat.

Zhang Yang put down the book and said, "Your Majesty, how can you have the leisure to come to Qujiangchi today." ”

Li Shimin glanced at the child in the stroller, and the child's bright eyes were also observing.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is over, and I also want to come to this Qujiang Pond to relax."

Zhang Yang took a bowl of porridge from the stove on the side, "Your Majesty, please use it." ”

"Hmm." First, the emperor took the porridge, which contained some fish and meat, and it was very delicious.

Li Shimin was speechless for a long time, "It's still your comfortable life here." ”

Zhang Yang poured another bowl of tea for His Majesty, "Recently, Jiangnan Dongdao is also vigorously developing tea planting, and more good tea will be sent from the south in the future, just like the tea sent this year, which is less astringent than Zhiguan." ”

Li Shimin took another sip of tea, "A bowl of fish porridge, a cup of tea, the most enjoyable thing in life is like this, I think it will be good to live like this in the future." ”

"Your Majesty takes care of your body, just rest assured."

Hearing this, Li Shimin took a deep breath and watched the rain become heavy again.

Xiao Qingqing looked at the emperor in front of her, and when she saw the other party's gaze, she avoided her gaze and ran to her mother's side.

Li Shimin said: "If you die one day, I will often boil some fish porridge here, boil a pot of water and make tea to commemorate you." ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said, "I will thank Your Majesty here first." ”

The wind blew into this water pavilion with rain, and the rain was still a little cold when it fell on his body, Zhang Yang looked around, "Before I left Chang'an City, I cleaned Qujiang Pond well, and I remember that it was winter at that time." ”

Li Shimin said again: "There are a lot of desolations here. ”

Zhang Yang relaxed his body and leaned his back on the pillar behind him, "Before leaving Chang'an City this time, I still want to clean this place again, if Your Majesty can arrange for someone to clean up here from time to time, I can also save a lot of trouble." ”

Listening to the words of His Majesty and the county marquis, the prince looked a lot nervous.

Li Shimin stood up, his eyes followed the flow of Qujiang Pond all the way to the end, and the rain curtain formed by the rain fell on the water of the pond.

This kind of sound is very good, and just listening to it can make people's minds unconsciously calm.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Although it is not as good as the new rain in the empty mountain, at least you can feel that the weather is late in autumn." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Well, after the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn, what a sentence!" is worthy of being a person who can write about the Red Mansion, just as the swallowing of jade grains in the Red Mansion is full of gold, and the thin is not seen in the diamond mirror, and after seeing the Red Mansion, I know that the new sorrow and the old sorrow in front of me are not worth mentioning. ”

"Your Majesty misunderstood, I didn't write the Red Mansion."

Li Shimin sat cross-legged and closed his eyes and held his temples and said, "You always say that." ”

The current emperor also has a beard, and his words and deeds can always be thought-provoking, especially when he combines the artistic conception of the empty mountain after the new rain, the weather is late in autumn and the inability to swallow the jade grains and the golden ulva choking in the throat, and the description of thinness in the diamond glasses is not visible, which is obviously very inappropriate.

This sentence comes from Cao Xueqin's red bean song, and she puts it at the end of Dream of Red Mansions.

Li Shimin said: "Datang needs a story like the Red Mansion, which can make people more benevolent, which is like a mirror that reflects the sinister nature of people's hearts." ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, my teacher said that an era without a story is cruel, whether the story is beautiful or sad, a person who does not read a story will become extreme, and an era without books is prone to turmoil."

"You have such profound insights." Li Shimin bowed his head and nodded, "I thought that only Kong Yingda and they could say this kind of thing, but I didn't expect it to be so straightforward in your words." ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "It's just a matter of reflecting on yourself by other people's words, which makes Your Majesty smile." ”

After putting the tea on the table for a while, Zhang Yang put the kettle on the stove again and shook the fan in his hand, "The autumn rain every year can make people look at it quietly for a long time." ”

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said: "The people in Shilin have listed the Red Chamber and Liang Zhu as banned books, do you have any complaints?" ”

"Your Majesty, I have never complained, and the more I frightened them, the more I felt that I had done the right thing."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Li Shimin said in a low voice: "In this way, I feel that I should also let the Red Mansion spread the praises in Chongde Fang." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands, then put his hands in his sleeves and sat cross-legged.

The two of them were quiet for a long time, and Li Shimin drank another bowl of porridge, the climate in Guanzhong has been warm in the past two years, and the autumn rain has come a lot, and I don't know when the rain will stop.

The autumn rain also has the benefit of autumn rain, because rice is now grown in Lishan, and as long as this autumn rain continues to maintain the current rainfall, it is best to bring irrigation to the fields without causing waterlogging to flood the fields.

Before I knew it, it was another year of autumn rain, and I remembered what Li Shimin just said, if I died, he would boil a pot of water, make a bowl of tea, and cook fish porridge here to pay tribute.

Thinking back to the previous conversation, the emperor would not come here for no reason.

The emperor will not do things for no reason, if Li Shimin wants to kill a person and pay tribute to a person, it is the emperor who thinks it is necessary for him to do so.

Li Shimin said again: "What books have you been reading recently?" ”

Zhang Yang replied in a low voice: "Shang Jun, I thought that the Great Qin in the land of Guanzhong became powerful because of Shang Ying's decision, but later Shang Yang died, and the Qin people would always remember him. ”

"Shang Ying has a great talent for governing the country, although he is dead, he is also worthy of tribute."

Li Shimin's words paused, "I am not King Qin Hui, and you will not be Shang Ying." ”

"Okay, then what did Your Majesty do when you came to see me now?"

The words were directly laid out, and the next conversation could be much smoother, Li Shimin was surprised: "Your conversation is much better now, it seems that it is not useless to let you read more books at the beginning." ”

Zhang Yang said melancholy: "If you have nothing to do, you will watch more." ”

After all, the spiritual and material life of this Tang Dynasty is too bland, and most of the time he will only stay up late for the things at hand.

If you want to change to an ordinary time, sunrise and sunset, your living habits will naturally improve, and you will naturally develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

In this Tang Dynasty, the only pastime in the boring days is reading.

Li Shimin asked the prince to hand over two volumes of newspapers, "Look at it, this is the news sent by Persia and Liaodong at the beginning." ”

Zhang Yang took the report and read it.

And Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea, staring at his reaction.

After a moment, he said, "What do you say is going on?" ”

Zhang Yang put down the chapter again, "I did give Da'an and Pei Xingjian a weapon to break the enemy, otherwise Your Majesty thought I had the courage to let Wang Xuance and Pei Xingjian go deep alone." ”

"Of course, with their wisdom, even if I don't give them these enemy-breaking weapons, they can still repel the Persians, and even if I don't give Da'an this enemy-breaking weapon, he can still take Goguryeo with those 3,000 armor soldiers."

"It's just the icing on the cake, what does Your Majesty think? Some things will fall into place, and there is no need to be surprised. ”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "What is the weapon you gave them to break the enemy?" ”

"Heh, it's just a weapon of mass destruction, it can break the city wall, it can level the mountains and rivers, I've seen it in my hometown before, but I picked it up again, and it was only the result of these two years from research to casting, and there will be other weapons to break the enemy in the future."

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak, Zhang Yang looked at his wife, "Did your daughter-in-law bring that thing?" ”

Li Yue took the flintlock pistol from his waist and handed it over, Zhang Yang picked up the flintlock pistol, which was already stuffed with a medicine bag, as long as he pulled up the flintlock clip on the upper edge and buckled it.

Point the muzzle of the gun at the pillar to the side.

Li Shimin looked curious and wanted to look at the muzzle, but he didn't know that Zhang Yang had already pulled the trigger.

With a crisp crash, the chamber of the gun exploded instantly after two breaths, and an iron projectile shot out, accurately shooting into the pillar on the side.

Looking at the pillar again, the iron in the hole bounced into the wood.

Not to mention what it is, what will happen if it hits someone.

Li Shimin regretted a little that he had just leaned closer to the muzzle of the gun to look.

Zhang Yang wiped the chamber of the gun, "This is a hidden weapon that can kill and injure the enemy from a distance of 100 meters." ”

"Is it only 100 meters?"

"At the moment, it's only 100 meters."

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "This thing is not as good as a bow and arrow." ”

Zhang Yang sighed, "From other perspectives, it is indeed inferior to the bow and arrow, and there are still many things that need to be improved, which makes Your Majesty smile." ”

The explosion just now was really scary, Li Shimin's hands were a little shaky, this thing either killed people, or scared people to death.

I don't understand what this son-in-law's stomach is capable of.

The prince still stood quietly aside, His Majesty drank the tea in the bowl, and Zhang Yang wiped the flintlock pistol.

Li Shimin said again: "This thing can break the city and kill 100,000 enemies?" ”

Zhang Yang shook his head, "Da'an and Pei Xingjian are not using this thing. ”

"As you said at the beginning, Lishan casting is used for people's livelihood."

"There is nothing wrong with using all of Lishan's technology for people's livelihood, and we have always adhered to this principle, which is obvious to all."

"And what do you mean by this thing in your hand?"

Zhang Yang frowned and shook the fan in his hand, so that the smell of gunsmoke in front of him quickly dissipated, "It's just for self-protection and self-defense." ”

Knowing that the next conversation between the father and the husband would probably not be pleasant, Li Yue got up and left with his daughter and son, as well as his aunt and Xiao Wu.

In front of the children, Li Shimin was not angry, and when they left, he slapped the table angrily, "Zhang Yang! How much more do you have to hide from me! ”

Zhang Yang's face was not shocked, "Does Your Majesty think I want to hide it?" ”

Li Shimin breathed heavily, "With such a city-breaking weapon, do you also want to deal with me?" ”

Zhang Yang shook his head bitterly, "Your Majesty sits on the world's soldiers and horses, and Lishan is just such a small piece of land, such a small number of people, will it be a threat to Your Majesty?" ”

Li Shimin gave the prince on the side a look, and the prince left after receiving the look.

It was not early, it was already past noon, and the porridge in the pot was boiling, so Zhang Yang had to continue to add water to the pot.

Wang Gonggong left Qujiangchi and came to the leading guards of Chang'an City, and whispered a few words to Li Junxian.

The guards and horses quickly dispatched, one team of soldiers and horses surrounded Qujiangchi, and the other team of soldiers and horses left Chang'an City and headed towards Lishan.

At this moment in the palace, Li Lizhen was teaching her younger brothers and sisters to do their homework, and a palace maid hurriedly came, "Your Royal Highness the princess is not good, there is a team of soldiers and horses leaving Chang'an City to go to Lishan." ”

"What are you going to do in Lishan?" Li Lizhi frowned.

The palace maid replied in a panic: "It is said that the county marquis and the princess of Runan are in Qujiangchi, and now the outside of Qujiangchi has been heavily guarded, and there is also a group of soldiers and horses who have gone to Lishan and said that they want to search all the creations of Lishan." ”

Secretly screaming in her heart, Li Lizhi quickly put down the scroll in her hand, walked into the Lizheng Palace, and picked up the horizontal knife placed here by her father, "Queen Mother, my daughter will go to Lishan." ”

Empress Eldest Sun said in a low voice, "Come back early." ”

Li Li's expression was a little firm, and she immediately ran out of Chengtian Gate, and then went to the horse of a soldier outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, and said loudly: "I am the princess of Changle, and the war horse went to Lishan to ask for it." ”

After speaking, the princess rode away in the direction of Chunming Gate.

Pedestrians avoided the way, and everyone wondered why the woman on a war horse was running rampant in the streets.

The women in Guanzhong have always been strong, and everyone is used to it, but they have never seen any woman so bold and dare to ride horses on the streets of Chang'an City.

There were officers and soldiers who wanted to catch up, but they couldn't outrun the speed of the horses.

Chunming Gate is the east gate of Chang'an City, at this moment, because Princess Changle is on the street and the city gate has been prepared, the city gate soldiers have been set up to reject the horse.

I knew that my father and brother-in-law would meet each other one day, no matter what, as long as Lishan was not chaotic, as long as Lishan did not rebel, my father would not move my brother-in-law.

Li Lizhi looked at the rejection of the horse in front of the city gate, continued to ride the horse in her heart, pulled up the reins, the war horse neighed, raised her front hooves and jumped over the rejection of the horse, and went out of the city gate before the heavy city gate was closed.

Li Lizhen glanced back at the city gate, and continued to walk towards Lishan.

When the soldiers at the head of the city tried to shoot down the man on horseback, Niu Jinda kicked him to the ground, "Do you know who the man on the horse is?" That's Princess Changle. ”

The soldier had no choice but to withdraw the arrow, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "General Xie mention." ”

Niu Jinda frowned and sighed, watching the rain fall from the sky, "The old man always feels that something big is going to happen today." ”
