Chapter 840: Immortal Mountain and Immortals
Careful An said again: "Can't Chang'an City be bought with silver?" ”
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "How much money did your father use to buy Gaochang?"
"Well......" Careful An recalled: "My mother said at the beginning that my father bought Gaochang for a penny. ”
"How much silver did it take to buy Nanzhao?"
"Consistent money!"
Careful Ann replied.
Zhang Yang looked at Xiong Er and drove the ducks back to the duck circle and continued: "Gaochang and Nanzhao are not able to buy with one dollar or consistent money, these two small countries are of great value, but when you find a suitable way, you can also buy the place you want at a very cost-effective price." ”
Careful Ann followed the footsteps and asked, "What does Daddy think is the most appropriate method?" ”
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”
After putting the duck for a long time, when she returned home, Xiao Qingqing was still building Chang'an City, she used wooden planks as bricks and stones, and had already built the four walls of Chang'an City.
Seeing that the appearance was similar to that in the atlas, Zhang Yang looked satisfied and nodded, while Li Yue frowned and said nothing.
"You see, our daughter is very talented as a craftsman."
Li Yue looked unhappy and said: "This is because she is careful, not a craftsman talent, the child is very patient like you." ”
"Her Royal Highness the Princess said yes." Aunt Yang on the side replied: "If it were a child from an ordinary family, I would have given up now." ”
The walls of this small Chang'an city are half a man high.
Li Yue hopes that both her son and daughter will be able to inherit the family business, and she is unwilling to admit that her daughter has a talent for craftsmen.
If she really has the talent of a craftsman, Li Yue will also turn this talent into other aspects.
The son ran to the kitchen, most likely to find another snack to eat.
Zhang Yang drank tea and whispered: "Her talent can't be stifled, even if she has the talent of a craftsman, it will not affect the children to take over Lishan in the future, talent is talent, and ability can be cultivated." ”
Hearing this, Li Yue hugged her husband's arm and was silent.
Aunt Yang smiled and continued to sew clothes.
Until the bear ran and found the little master in a wooden wall, he found that there was an obstacle with the master, and it knocked down the city wall that had just been piled up.
After watching the wooden blocks scattered all over the ground, and after a short silence in the house, Xiao Qingqing watched his achievements of several days ruined.
There was a scream of her coming from inside the house, and then she hit Xiong Da with her hands and feet.
After discovering that his fists and kicks couldn't hurt it, he cursed loudly.
Xiong Da lay on the ground with a look of ignorance.
Zhang Yang sighed, shook his head and left.
This child is still very resilient, and the aunt has cleaned up a room for him, so that she can lock herself in the house and prevent Xiong Da from coming in, so that she can concentrate on "repairing" her little Chang'an City.
I don't know if Xiao Qingqing, the elder sister, usually talks too much about Chang'an City, causing her son to think about Chang'an City all day long.
These days, the political affairs in Chang'an City are getting busier and busier, and the government is making more and more trouble about the westward expedition.
The inexhaustible food in Chang'an City was continuously sent to Hexi.
Some people in the DPRK felt that the road to the west would become a burden on the court in the future, and the Tang Dynasty would be mired in war.
Xu Jingzong and others said that the Tang Dynasty was neutral in war, and it should be a martial arts Quartet, and those who stopped the Western Expedition were short-sighted.
Li Shimin issued another will, and once again summoned Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, and Wang Xuance to come back.
Subsequently, several generals were sent to the west of Persia, including the younger generation of Li Wenxuan, Zhang Qianqiao and others
At the same time, Tian Khan asked Xiao Siye, who was in the Turks and governed the herdsmen, to take the Turkic soldiers and horses to Persia.
Li Jingxuan was then sent to serve as the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and since then, the Protector of the Metropolitan Protectorate has also been handed over to the Zhongshu Province and has become a civil servant.
For the first time since Zhang Da'an took up the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he advised His Majesty to build the Broken Leaf City.
After some arguments between the court and China, His Majesty finally ordered the rebuilding of Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions, which is an important place among the four towns of Anxi, and its geographical location plays a crucial role in the Tang Dynasty's leadership of the Western Regions.
Chang'an City is in winter, Xiao Qingqing is obsessed with the mold of building Chang'an City these days, a girl who has never been to Chang'an, but she is very worried about Chang'an City in her heart.
When the snow fell in Guanzhong, her model of Chang'an City was mostly completed.
Zhang Yang connected with Cen Wenwen as usual, and Datang's official school and teaching support were in full swing.
The emperor felt that as long as he could bring all the people to their hearts and educate the remote places, it was a very cost-effective act to nourish the Central Plains with the inheritance of the family, at least there was no such a big burden on the court.
In the heavy snow, Zhang Yang looked at the accounts sent by Cen Wenwen, and said, "I didn't expect the construction of Broken Leaf City to go so smoothly. ”
Cen Wenwen said: "Zhang Da'an was able to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was recommended by the county marquis. ”
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "My vision has always been very good. ”
The snow fell on the hat, so that there was a thick snow on the hat, Cen Wenwen said unhurriedly, "The location of the Broken Leaf City is the only way for the envoys of the East and the West, when the monk Xuanzang traveled to the Western Regions, he also saw Ye Hu Khan in Broken Leaf City, and Ye Hu attached great importance to Xuanzang, gave a lot of money, and sent soldiers and horses to escort him. ”
Cen Wenwen put his hands behind his back, sighed in the cold wind, and turned into a cloud of white mist, "It's a pity that Ye Hu Khan died, and he fled to the west and died in the hands of a person surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, the world is impermanent, and Ye Hu Khan was indispensable, and eight years have passed unconsciously." ”
He continued: "Today, the monk Xuanzang still has not entered the customs, and the Anxi Protectorate has also been built, and some people in the court say that Zhang Da'an is plotting the entire territory of the Western Regions for the Tian Khan. ”
Zhang Yang smiled: "It's time too." ”
The location of Shattered Leaf City is at the western end of the Western Regions, that is, the junction of the starting point to the West and the Western Regions.
Zhang Yang thought carefully about its location in Central Asia, and said: "The ancient road of the Tianshan Mountains should be from the beginning to the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Hexi Corridor known as the Western Regions where the Broken Leaf River Valley is located, where water and grass are abundant, and it was also prosperous in the past, these should also be the Tang Dynasty." ”
Cen Wenwen said: "No wonder the envoys of all countries dare not offend Lishan, in addition to the envoys of all countries are willing to worship the Heavenly Khan, as long as you Zhang Yang stands in front of people, the envoys of all countries will also worship you." ”
"Brother Wen laughed, how dare I accept this honor."
Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong, Li Tai's three generations of grandchildren, uncles and nephews sat under the eaves, eating tea eggs, and they also saw the two people standing in the wind and snow.
Li Tai said in a low voice: "Now I kind of understand why my father wants to set up two Zhongcheng. ”
Li Xiaogong ate the tea egg in his mouth and said, "Why? ”
"The father wants his brother-in-law to be outside the house, and Cen Wenwen is the master to govern inside, and the things outside the Tang Dynasty still depend on the brother-in-law's proposition, and the governance of the Tang Dynasty is still inseparable from Cen Wenwen."
Li Xiaogong bowed his head and said: "In this way, Your Majesty still values Zhang Yang very much. ”
The aroma of tea eggs wafts out of the pot, and boiling tea eggs with last year's aged tea is the most fragrant.
When Li Tai looked again, the imperial grandfather didn't know when he fell asleep, and his breathing fluctuated steadily.
My father is nearly forty years old, and my grandfather is over sixty years old.
Li Tai hoped that the emperor's grandfather would live to be eighty years old.
He picked up the futon on the side and covered it for the imperial grandfather.
The heavy snow fell for five days, and a thick layer of snow accumulated in Guanzhong, and Zhang Yang and his son and daughter were removing the snow.
Zhang Yang looked up into the distance from time to time.
Xiao Qingqing also raised his eyes, "Daddy, what are you looking at?" ”
There was only a snowy landscape in the distance, and nothing could be seen.
Ann followed Daddy with a small broom and swept the rest of the snow to both sides of the road.
Zhang Yang looked up at the distance again and said with a smile: "In the past, this season should be the time when the emperor came to Lishan for winter. ”
Xiao Qingqing replied: "I heard that the DPRK and China have been very busy in the past two years, and many people did not take a break last year, and this year is even more so. ”
After shoveling the snow, Zhang Yang vaguely felt sweaty, and when he looked back, his son and daughter's cheeks were blown red by the wind and snow.
It is enough to clear the road to connect to the official road outside the village.
The snow was ankle-deep, and the village was quiet, with families cooking and a thick layer of snow on their roofs.
Even in this season of heavy snowfall, Lishan is still full of fireworks in the world.
Zhang Yang walked to the mountainside, took a look at the scene, and then walked back to the mountain slowly.
Cen Wenwen also brought a lot of atlases of Chang'an City, which he asked painters to depict in various parts of Chang'an City.
Xiao Qingqing built the appearance of Chang'an City at home based on these paintings, during which Xiao Zizi and Li Zhi also joined in.
Today is the beginning of winter, and the pig's trotters are being stewed at home, and the fragrance once made the seven bears in the family lively.
That is, the aunt stood guard in front of the stove with a stick in one hand, so that these bears did not dare to approach.
Xiong San is pregnant with a cub, and it needs nutrients very much.
The aunt fed it a few half-cooked chickens, and did not dare to let the bear eat raw food, and the half-cooked flesh and bones were also a source of nutrition for it.
The sun shines through the dark clouds, and the first rays of sunlight fall on the mountains.
As soon as the heavy snow stopped, there were many pedestrians and merchants on the official road, and when these people looked up at Lishan, they could see that the pillar of light formed by the sunlight was the first to fall on Lishan.
At this moment, Lishan is like a fairyland on earth.
With these years, Zhang Yang no longer appears in front of people, and Chang'an City is full of legends of this county marquis.
If you talk about the people of Guanzhong, there are many Tubo people and people from the Western Regions, they listen to the legends about Chang'an City all the year round, and they will come to Chang'an City first before the pilgrimage every year.
At this moment, many people from the Western Regions and Tubo knelt in the direction of Lishan to worship, and for them, Lishan was a holy place like Chang'an City.
Chang'an City is prosperous, and Lishan is as beautiful as a fairyland.
Someone said, "You see, there is green on Lishan, and the trees in Lishan can still sprout in winter." ”
Their devotion has increased.
The county marquis who lived in Lishan and was not visible to people was slowly sung as an immortal.
This immortal can send people to the sky, he can also write hand-me-down articles, and he can also make the Tang Dynasty expand the borders of thousands of miles, such a person is not an immortal and what kind of person.
When a mountain has a legend, it becomes a place that people yearn for, and when there are immortals on a mountain, the mountain becomes a fairy mountain.
Zhang Yang's reputation in Guanzhong is very complicated, some people say that he is an unscrupulous villain, some people say that Zhang Yang governs the people, Lishan is a powerful person, and he is a relative, but Lishan does not engage in land annexation, and even sneers at the petty profits of land annexation.
Therefore, Zhang Yang is a saint who can benefit Guanzhong.
But in the Western Regions, Tibet, or Persia, Zhang Yang has become an immortal, and he can make firearms, which are sharp weapons that can calm mountains and rivers.
Be able to grow green vegetables in winter, go against the sky, and change the geography.
After the Tang army had firearms, it was already invincible in the world.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for the report of the Persian war, and the Tang Dynasty united the Tibetans, the Turks, the Western Regions, and the Uighurs......
In this battle, the Tang Dynasty will win, and the Tang people are invincible.
In the middle of winter, this expectation did not disappoint anyone, Pei Xingjian and Liang Jianfang led an army of 100,000 to destroy Khalid's 300,000 army.
From summer to winter, Pei Xingjian and they successively destroyed the 160,000 army of Umar, and in the autumn and winter, a good news was sent to Chang'an City, they killed Khalid, and the 300,000 army was slaughtered by the Tang people.
This battle report was sent from Persia to Chang'an City, and the people of the Western Regions and the Tubo people were all cheering for the Tang Dynasty and cheering for the Tang people.
This battle wiped out 500,000 people in the Great Eclipse, and many people felt that this time the Great Cannibal could not be more arrogant.
Only the generals of the Tang people commanded the Tibetans, the Uighurs, and the people of the Western Regions to victory.
Chang'an City sings the Heavenly Khan Shengming, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the small country outside the Guan, they all bow their heads to worship in the direction of Chengtianmen.
Pei Xingjian, Wang Xuance, and Xue Rengui finally embarked on the journey home, and the next battle was handed over to other generals in the court, and their merits were enough, and they were enough to squander for a lifetime.
In the midwinter of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin released a group of people from the Western Regions, who were the old people with the surname Zhaowu Jiu, and gave them to live in Broken Leaf City, so that they could live in business from then on.
Li Shimin met with the old people of the Western Regions, and under the auspices of Zhang Da'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, they signed a letter of state to surrender the territory to the Tang Dynasty.
At this point, the Great Dynasty Meeting had not yet begun, from the Aral Sea as the boundary, south to the Amu Darya tributary, with the Hindu Kush Mountains as the boundary, all belonged to the Tang soil, and the entire Western Regions was divided into the territory of the Tang people in the true sense.
In fact, this matter can be done very early, after the completion of the Anxi Protectorate, the hearts of the people in the Western Regions gradually annexed, willing to accept the governance of the Tang people, Xu Jingzong several times to the Heavenly Khan felt that the time had not come.
Now Pei Xingjian, Liang Jianfang, Zhang Shigui and others have won a big victory in Persia, which allowed this matter.
On Lishan Mountain, Zhang Yang looked at the current territory of the Tang Dynasty, extending westward to the territory of Father Khan in later generations.
These are Tang people's territories, and the fact that Broken Leaf City can enter and build is a very important signal.
This signal also shows that the north of the Tubo people is all Tang soil, and sooner or later the Tubo people will also submit to the Tang Dynasty.
Goguryeo's Andong Protectorate has also been completed.
The current Goguryeo people are learning the writing and etiquette of the Tang people, and are implementing the county system of the Tang Dynasty. (End of chapter)
