The crown princess took the child to see Li Yue first, and the three daughters sat together talking and laughing.

The conversation soon became Li Yue as the core, and he fully crushed the crown princess and Princess Wei in terms of knowledge and temperament, as well as aura control.

As for the prince's son, Li Xiang, was bullied by Xiao Qingqing as soon as he arrived in Lishan.

The three of them sat at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and before the words could be spoken, Li Chengqian sighed first, looking very sad, and said in a low voice: "Because of the war between Dashi and Datang, this year's imperial examination has been delayed until the end of autumn, and there are more and more people in Chongdefang, and they are already overwhelmed. ”

Zhang Yang shook his fan and smiled: "It's good to be lively." ”

Li Tai watched coldly, and said that his brother-in-law helped you get Chongde Fang, and he already gave you face, so why now he says that Chongde Fang is not good.

To say that this Zhenguan was a day, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, who descended from the sky, planned to push the country to the direction of all-round development of civil and military.

The Zhechong Mansion was replaced, and young generals were reused, and the imperial examination was held to curb the family.

Strengthen the centralization of power, weaken the localities, and lightly punish the poor.

But this Tian Khan has a headache in teaching his son, Li Chengqian saw that the official school and the establishment of the education support had improved, and after Cen Wenwen and Zhongshu Province took over the full management, the prince still wanted to intervene in this matter.

Now I'm still worried about Chongdefang, does the prince really not understand what his father means?

"I also heard that the old master Kong Yingda appreciates the knowledge of Lishan Mountain Gate."

"Really?" Zhang Yang smiled stunned, "It's just some bad opinions." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and said: "Even Fang Xiang said that after reading the article, he was like a man. ”

Zhang Yang still waved his hand and said: "It's just some shallow opinions, I can't get on the table, and besides, I'm now wholeheartedly busy solving the predicament of Lishan, and now my family is almost unable to open the pot." ”

"Can't open the pot?"

"It's poor, yes! It's not going to be easy. ”

Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Li Chengqian lowered his head and saw a pot of chilled grapes on the table, "Didn't my father send a lot of silver money to Lishan last time?" ”

Zhang Yang said again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, they are all used to make firearms, and those who can stay behind will pay off our craftsmen, and Lishan will have to be upside down." ”

Saying that no one is poor can say that Lishan is poor, Li Chengqian is suspicious, it is impossible for Lishan to be without money.

After that, Li Chengqian took out some medicinal materials again, "The queen mother is concerned about Princess Wei's pregnancy, and hopes that the child can be born safely, so she will let Gu come to visit." ”

Li Tai saluted in the direction of Chang'an City, "Let the queen mother worry." ”

He sat down again, "I also ask the imperial brother to inform the queen mother that everything is fine, and Doctor Sun is watching, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Originally, the prince listened to the queen's words and came to Lishan to visit Li Tai, but the two brothers said bluntly, "Alone should take a look at the queen mother."

And Li Tai almost didn't say, everything is fine in Lishan, you can go back.

Zhang Yang looked at the two brothers, their expressions were not too good, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what have you been busy with in the court recently?" ”

Li Chengqian explained: "The Fang Minister proposed to select a county in the Hetao south of Helan Mountain, and the DPRK and China arranged to control the construction, and then build a mutual market property office like the Hexi Corridor. ”

The Hetao is located to the north of the Guanzhong Plain, and the Hexi Corridor is located to the west of Guanzhong.

In this way, Chang'an City has a position in the north and west of the market.

Zhang Yang prefers to believe that this is a special request from Li Shimin, after tasting the sweetness of the mutual market, with Li Shimin's all-encompassing character, he definitely doesn't want to continue to make money in the Hexi Corridor on Lishan.

The DPRK also needs money, and it needs a lot of money, and Fang Xuanling and others will not sit idly by and watch the Lishan family dominate.

Now it has opened up a mutual market, which is a bit of a check and balance on Lishan.

The court is not full of good people, people like Eldest Sun Wuji must raise their hands in favor, and the more Lishan plays a pivotal role, the more worried people like him are.

After all, it is a centralized system, and the powerful can do chaos or evil, which is nothing, but with this family of relatives who pursue progress and are rich and close to the people, it is inevitable that people will think about it a lot.

Zhang Yang folded his hands and sighed: "The court and the middle are all bad people, except for me!" There are no good people in this world. ”

"They are all for the sake of the community."

Zhang Yang continued to ask Li Chengqian about the news of the DPRK, and then he talked about the reason why Fang Xiang did this.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "In fact, Fang Xiang and Zhao Guoguild have this kind of proposition, and it is really not aimed at Lishan. ”

Zhang Yang ate the grapes and listened patiently.

This matter has to start with the morning at the beginning of this year, Li Chengqian patiently explained.

The Turks in the Hexi Corridor have long had an opinion, and they don't want their tribesmen to make such a long detour to Jiayu Mountain.

This year, Ashina Funian came to congratulate him, and he said the request of the mutual market, this Ashina Funian is also a relative of the Turkic royal court, anyway, everyone is surnamed Ashina, and they all hold the power in their own territories in various tribes and tribes.

Ashina Funian was the son of the younger brother of Jieli Khan, who was still young when Jieli was defeated, and it was not until Jieli was captured that this person slowly took over the population of the Jieli tribe.

And Ashinadur has not returned after leaving the Turks for so long, and Fu Nian is thinking about strengthening himself while proclaiming to the Tang Dynasty.

Isn't Fu Nian's mind facing the middle of the mind clear?

No matter how generous Li Shimin is, let it develop, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji will not be able to see it.

The Turkic people living in Yinshan want to exchange markets and have to detour through the Hexi Corridor, which is very troublesome, as long as there is a place for the mutual market, and there is no need for a specific pass.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling chose the closest location to the Turks and the most favorable location for the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Hetao.

The Turks needed to cross the Yin Mountains to trade in the Hetao, which was more convenient on the way than to the Hexi Corridor.

The DPRK and China are all human spirits, and this matter is made by the DPRK and the CCP, and the Turks can get benefits for nothing if they don't do anything?

It was also under the advice of Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Wei Zheng that Li Shimin only now agreed to the Turkic people's request for mutual markets.

However, this is all conditional, let Ashina Funian lead the troops to help the Tang people in Persia.

First, they can get rid of the hidden danger of Ashina Funian, and secondly, the reason why the prince didn't say it, they want to use this to check and balance Lishan, and then open a mutual market, so that the Lishan family can't dominate.

Due to the signing of the original contract, the DPRK and China could not do anything more in the Hexi Corridor, so they opened up another mutual market.

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Yang pondered the pros and cons, and slowly understood Fang Xuanling's calculations.

After receiving the basket of grapes rewarded by Li Yuan, the prince's family also went back.

On the carriage back to Chang'an City, the crown princess Su said that she had a better idea of running the prince's family business after talking with the hostess of Lishan today.

Inside the carriage, the prince's son Li Xiang was still muttering to himself.

Su Shi asked suspiciously, "Xiang'er?" What are you talking about? ”

Li Xiang asked: "Mother, three people eat three bowls of rice in three days, and nine people eat several bowls of rice in nine days?" ”

Seeing Su's gaze, Li Chengqian also avoided his gaze and thought secretly in his heart.

Li Xiang said again: "This is the question given to the child by the little county lord, if the child can't answer, she will say that the child is stupid." ”

"Stupid?"

Li Xiang said again: "It's a very stupid egg, the child goes back and asks Old Master Confucius, is there really such an egg in this world." ”

This doesn't sound like a good thing to say, and the crown princess Su Shi held her forehead and looked at her child's waist, "Huh? What about the jade pendant that your imperial grandfather rewarded? ”

Li Xiang replied: "The child lost in chess, and Yu Pei also lost to Qingqing." ”

Li Chengqian wanted to speak and stopped, and it was not easy to attack for a while, the Donggong family owed Lishan too much favor, and the jade pendant rewarded by his father was very important.

Su Shi instructed: "Xiang'er, when your imperial grandfather asked, he said that the little county lord of Lishan liked to give it to her, but don't say that he lost to her." ”

Li Xiang nodded heavily, "The child understands." ”

On the way back, Su Shi also told about today's events, and Li Chengqian only then knew how smart Zhang Yang and Yue'er's children were, and now she is the leader of Lishan children, whether it is skill or intelligence, it is not comparable to ordinary children.

I think that the children of the East Palace are not as good as the children of Lishan, and her teachers are all Li Jing, Ouyang Xun, and Zhang Gongjin. ’

Moreover, the child was born by Princess Runan, who single-handedly ran Lishan, and her father was Zhang Yang.

Sending away the prince's family, Li Tai was puzzled: "The father actually let Ashina Funian go to Persia, and also brought 20,000 Turkic soldiers and horses?" ”

The war between Dashi and Datang is imminent, and Datang is more like a party with more help from those who have attained the Tao, and all the people and ethnic groups will obey the orders of the Heavenly Khan and set off a major war in Central Asia.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the moves of those people in the court are lit, they know that Ashinadur is not in the Turks, and Fu Nian's power will continue to expand, which will threaten the position of the little khan."

Li Tai nodded and said, "That's why my father let him leave the grassland?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei must not forget that Ashinadur is also in Persia, and the court hopes that Ashinadur will compete with Fu Nian, so as to stabilize the situation in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and also make the Turks more dedicated in the Persian battlefield."

"As long as the little Turkic Khan still grows up comfortably, as long as the Heavenly Khan promises a reward, everything is justified, and the Turks are willing to die for the Tang Dynasty."

Lishan has opponents, and when Fang Xuanling also walked to the front, Zhang Yang felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

There are too many capable people around Li Shimin, and it was nothing to be angry with the eldest grandson Wuji before, Xu Jingzong is enough to give him a headache.

But when he thought that Lishan's opponent was Fang Xuanling, Zhang Yang always felt unsure in his heart.

Whether it is military strategy and DPRK-China measures, or to contain Lishan.

Fang Xuanling's methods are obscure and harmful, and they poke at the point.

has been an official for so many years, and has been running Lishan for so many years, and has never had any contact with Fang Xiang head-on.

With this competition, Zhang Yang felt like a fox playing tricks, and the previous things were nothing.

Fang Xuanling has been hiding behind the scenes, standing by His Majesty's side, giving advice to this Heavenly Khan.

Zhang Yang sighed, Fang Xiang is low-key, not easy to show the dew, and he doesn't even feel much presence in the court.

If you don't make a move, it's just that, and a shot is a calculation to manipulate the multi-party game.

Thinking about what happened over the years, the eldest grandson Wuji, Yan Shigu, or Li Zhengzao, Songtsan Gampo, these people don't seem to be as good as Fang Xuanling.

His Majesty is the one who allows the Ministry of Rites and Lishan to bear fruit, and Fang Xuanling is the one who picks the fruit, digests and absorbs the fruit, and then uses the nutrients for the community.

Only then did I realize that I knew too little about Fang Xuanling.

He has always kept a low profile in the court, and he has no old friends and protégés, and it is difficult to find shortcomings in him.

Walking on the mountain road home, Xiao Qingqing sat on the back of a bear and played the flute.

Li Yue was in a very good mood, and the couple walked next to each other, "My husband seems to have something on his mind." ”

"Well, I'm wondering how Fang Xiang will deal with Lishan."

"We don't have much contact with Fang Xiang in Lishan."

"It's precisely because I don't have a lot of contact that I feel like Fang Xiang has been hiding in the shadows and observing us."

When the family returned to Huaqing Pond, the younger brothers and sisters rushed to swim, and Zhang Yang also went with them.

When he came to the study, Zhang Yang sat alone with drawings in front of him, as well as piles of Taifu Temple recitals.

This was the first time I felt uneasy and uneasy.

Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come in vain, at least to appreciate the means of intercourse.

As soon as Fang Xiang stopped in the court, Lishan lost his presumptuous confidence, and Lishan had to be cautious.

Where you dare to make mistakes, let alone annex land, you don't dare to move.

It is worthy of the old house plot, and it is not without reason that Li Shimin can be valued for so long.

No matter how strong the opponent is, Lishan still has to develop, Zhang Yang looked at the files of Taifu Temple one by one, and buried his mind in his work.

Half a month later, the DPRK sent news that Li Zhengzao had been taken down by Dali Temple.

He was the person behind the original instigation of Shangjia to sue Lishan.

Even if he was driven out of Zhao County, he was also a member of the Li clan of Zhao County, and Zhao County immediately sent someone to lobby the court.

As the owner of the matter, Lishan did not express any attitude.

Zhang Yang stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the scattered clouds in the blue sky, wanting to see how the DPRK and China would deal with this matter and how they would arrange this person.

And the news also came from Jiangnan, and after the imperial history of the DPRK and China, it was found that Lishan did not force the purchase of tea mountain.

Fang Xiang is very fair, and both of these things have given Lishan innocence.

The DPRK rebuked the Jiangnan wang clan for competing with the people for profit.

The Li clan of Zhaojun paid a fine of 1,000 guan to the court, and Li Zhengzao and his people could no longer enter the office.

This matter has been revealed, and the DPRK and China can ignore it and curb the entry of the children of the family into the office, which is already very cost-effective.

Truth and justice are on the side of the court, and people have nothing to say.

"Daddy, His Royal Highness King Wei said that there are bad people outside our village." Xiao Qingqing ran quickly.

"Well, there are too many bad people in this world, just get rid of them." Zhang Yang understated.

"That bad guy shouted outside the village, he said that he had to see his father before leaving, Uncle Wei had already let people beat him, but he still refused to leave."

Zhang Yang said distressedly: "What person? ”

"Uncle Wei said his name was Li Zhengzao."

Zhang Yang took the peaches handed by his daughter-in-law, and said while eating, "No." (End of chapter)
