The emperor's illness cannot be asked, nor can he be inquired, which is a great taboo.

Life is business as usual, and the couple pretends that they don't know anything.

The contradiction with the DPRK and China is as always, and Lishan still does not back down.

The seventeenth year of Zhenguan passed in the cold wind.

In the first month of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Yang was shaving himself in front of the mirror.

"Why are you still wearing old clothes, and you don't wear new clothes made at home a few times."

Behind him was the voice of his daughter-in-law, Zhang Yang looked at his clothes and said with a smile: "This dress is very warm." ”

Li Yue glanced at it unhappily, then put a new dress on the shelf next to her, she cleaned up her messy long hair, "It's time for the children to wake up and see what they have to eat in the morning." ”

Aunt Yang is old, she still abides by the old rules, usually if she doesn't have to go into the bedroom, she will only stand in front of the window and speak, "County Marquis, Zhao Guogong is here." ”

Unexpectedly, on the first day of the new year, the first person to visit was Zhao Guogong.

Zhang Yang wiped his chin and found a blood mark in the mirror, the blood mark was not large, like a piece of skin that had been twisted open by a fingernail.

Some bright red blood flowed out, and it was carefully wiped away, and it could go wrong when you shaved in the morning.

I always felt that this was not a good sign.

Zhang Yang changed into the new clothes prepared by his daughter-in-law, put on boots and walked out of the house.

Zhang Xin'an and her sister are also preparing, and today the two of them plan to go to Chang'an together to visit Fang Xiang.

asked Aunt Wang to accompany the two children to Chang'an City, and Zhang Yang came to the entrance of the village alone.

Today's Zhao Guogong is dressed in extraordinarily thick clothes and looks bloated.

Watching his children leave the village in the car, Zhang Yang took a breath in the cold wind with his hands, turning into a white mist in the air.

"The old man came rashly and disturbed him."

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "Don't bother, in fact, we have very few guests in Lishan." ”

glanced around, and said: "The magnates of Chang'an City are like a city, only Lishan is so deserted, if you don't dislike it, you can enter the village and sit down." ”

"No need." The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said, "The old man will leave in two words." ”

Zhang Yang saluted: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The old man heard that the old man passed away. ”

"Yes, his old man has done so many things for His Majesty, but after his death, he was only buried in Zhaoling, and he never left a name."

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "There are many people in this world who can't leave their names for His Majesty, the difference is what they do for the emperor, some people's experiences are very complicated, just like the old slave, the things he did for the emperor can't see the light." ”

Zhang Yang put his hands behind his back and said, "Zhao Guogong is not such a person. ”

"Zhang Gongjin said that you are different, after the father and son of King Gaochang had such an end, he was very worried, and later his guesses were confirmed one by one, people like you cannot hold military power."

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said, "The teacher did warn me like this. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Once a person like you has the power of the army, there will be people in the court who covet your achievements, which will harm you, on the other hand, now, at least everything is fine, he was very glad before he passed away, you listened to his teachings and did not take charge of the army." ”

Zhang Yang asked rhetorically: "Are you here to say this?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said: "In addition to the daily court, Your Majesty has been walking around less often in front of people recently, and many state affairs have begun to be arranged by the prince, the old man has asked the people in the palace, and even the concubines in the palace rarely see Your Majesty." ”

"Heh, you look so old, why are you still so gossipy."

The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "There is no trivial matter in the heavenly family. ”

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Zhao Guogong, as the two most powerful relatives of the dynasty, is it appropriate for us to inquire about these things?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem appropriate, but the old man asked the old man in the palace, and they talked about the current majesty and kept it secret, the old man vaguely felt that it was wrong in his heart, and wanted to ask you, see what you know?" ”

Zhang Yang looked down at the ground where there was still some ice slag, "I don't know." ”

"Even if you know something, you won't tell the old man." The eldest grandson Wuji looked displeased, "Yes and no?" ”

"Zhao Guogong still hasn't told me what arrangements the teacher made when he returned to Chang'an City."

"That's it, farewell."

The conversation between the two broke up unhappily.

Zhang Yang was a little glad in his heart, Tian Khan, Tian Khan, you definitely didn't expect that it was your closest old slave who told me what you were most reluctant to tell others.

He was loyal to you, but chose to betray you when he was dying.

But the people are gone, and there is nothing to say now.

Suspicion is a headache.

Whether the emperor knows it or not, Lishan already knows about his situation.

So at this time, the emperor handed over most of the state affairs to the crown prince, what kind of preparations would he make?

will continue to keep relatives like the eldest grandson Wuji to stay in Zhongshu Province.

Or kick a relative like me out of the center of power?

In other words, the emperor will erase all hidden dangers before he wants to smoothly hand over a country to the next successor.

"Oops." Zhang Yang shook his head and said to himself: "I'm gossiping more and more." ”

In Chang'an City, Zhang Qingqing personally took his younger brother to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit.

Fang Xiang's wife arranged a lot of pomp to greet the siblings, and the relatives of the family came to greet them.

Zhang Qingqing saluted politely, "My wife doesn't need to be like this, my disciple just brought my younger brother to visit Fang Xiang on behalf of my father." ”

Mrs. Fang squinted her eyes and smiled: "I can't afford to be this master." ”

"Fang Xiang is my brother's teacher and my teacher, so he naturally deserves it."

Mrs. Fang smiled even more happily and took the two siblings into the mansion.

Zhang Qingqing looked at the house and said: "Our family has used glass as windows, and we will ask the craftsmen from Lishan to bring some over another day." ”

Mrs. Fang hurriedly said: "This can't be, our family ......"

"Mrs. Fang, don't be polite, this is all the filial piety of the disciple."

"Oh, you Lishan are really ......" Mrs. Fang smiled from ear to ear, "It's really too generous, Da Lang!" Jiro! Come and meet the little princess. ”

Fang Zhizhi and Fang Yiai saluted together.

Zhang Qingqing walked all the way to the study and looked up and down, "The study should also be changed." ”

Fang Xuanling was sitting in the study, and when he saw that the person who came looked a little embarrassed, he said in unison: "I've seen the little county lord." ”

Zhang Qingqing also returned the salute: "I've seen the room." ”

Watching the children walk into the study, Mrs. Fang branched out a group of relatives.

There is only one left in the study, and the two sisters and brothers are in the room.

Zhang Qingqing handed over a box of tea, "It's not precious, and I hope that the prime minister won't dislike it." ”

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said: "You have to install glass windows in the old man's house, do you still need these teas?" ”

"Fang Xiang misunderstood, my father has always had rules, our children can't enter the office, Fang Xiang only needs to teach his younger brother how to behave in the world, and you don't have too many worries."

Fang Xuanling's expression was much more relaxed.

Zhang Qingqing said again: "It's just that my younger brother Mu Ne, I don't know how to speak, and I heard him say that he sat in the study with Fang Xiang all day and didn't say a word." ”

Zhang Xin'an is a good boy.

The bearing shown by this Zhang Qingqing is also extraordinary, how to raise such a bearing, it looks like he is ten years old, and he can be so calm when he first arrives at other people's homes.

Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea, "Well, good tea." ”

Zhang Qingqing continued: "Fang Xiang, my brother will have to disturb more in the future, you must not be polite to Lishan. ”

Fang Xuanling sighed with emotion, "It's not that the old man is polite to Lishan, the old man is an important minister in the court......"

"My father has long had rules, and the children of the family will not enter the office, and they will not enter the court as officials, this is a family rule!"

Fang Xuanling wanted to speak and stopped......

Zhang Qingqing sat in front of Fang Xiang, took out a peacock fan, and shook it slowly, "Fang Xiang, my brother is too clumsy, if there is anything inconsiderate, I, as a sister, will make amends to Fang Xiang." ”

"Don't say anything, it's just that the old man has a lot of things to arrange in the court, and when he has some leisure, he will definitely teach him carefully."

"Peace of mind."

"My brother is here."

Zhang Qingqing's eyes gestured, with a smile on his face, "Bring me the picture you drew yesterday." ”

Zhang Xin'an took out a piece of paper from his arms in a panic.

After confirming, Zhang Qingqing handed over the paper, "Fang Xiang, this is what my younger brother has recently understood." ”

Fang Xuanling took the paper and looked at it.

Zhang Qingqing said: "This is based on the strategy of the water cellar that I have learned from reading books here in Fang Xiang these days, there are often droughts in many places in the Hexi Corridor and even in the Western Regions, and my younger brother saw it in the dossier of Fang Xiang, we have nothing to do in Lishan, but we often have wonderful ideas, so we have this water cellar water storage strategy." ”

Fang Xuanling looked at the picture, and then looked at the annotation on the side, "This really came up with you?" ”

Zhang Xin'an nodded and said, "There is also a father who clicks, and Fang Xiang smiled." ”

The sister and brother stood together, and Zhang Xin'an had the confidence to face the teacher.

Fang Xuanling put the paper aside, stroked his beard and nodded: "It is worthy of being a child of Lishan, the old man has learned it." ”

Zhang Qingqing said again: "The disciple will take his younger brother to leave first." ”

"Wait." Fang Xuanling took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to her, "This is the annotation made when the court was revising the Zhenguan Law, and I gave it to your brothers and sisters." ”

"Thank you, teacher!"

Sisters and brothers saluted in unison.

When he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Xin'an frowned and said, "Sister, do you really want to install glass on the windows of the teacher's house?" ”

Zhang Qingqing felt that hatred of iron could not become steel, "You are stupid." ”

Zhang Xin'an smiled innocently, "Compared with my sister, my younger brother is really stupid. ”

"You're still smiling......"

She glanced at the courtyard of Fang Xiang's house again, shook her head and said, "How is it possible, even if Lishan is willing, Fang Xiang will not have a reputation for half his life?" I think you're really stupid and hopeless. ”

When he left Chang'an City, Zhang Qingqing still felt that if this family didn't have him, what would he do in the future?

Above the Chunming Gate of the city wall of Chang'an City, the emperor watched his sister and brother walk out of Chang'an City.

Li Shimin looked at it with kind eyebrows, especially the sister who walked in the forefront, stroked her beard and smiled: "She is the eldest daughter of Lishan, Zhang Yang and Yue'er's most proud child." ”

Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty, do you need to bring her?" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Don't disturb them, just take a look from afar." ”

"But they are also His Majesty's grandsons."

Li Shimin retracted his gaze and lowered his head, and said with a smile: "This kid doesn't like me, and he doesn't like Chang'an City. ”

Looking at it unconsciously a little stupid, he said slowly: "I didn't expect to grow so tall in the past two years, and I was still a very small one when I saw her before." ”

Li Junxian heard the loss in His Majesty's words, and felt even more aggrieved for His Majesty.

Aunt Yang helped the little county lord and the little marquis to get into the carriage, and also noticed the eyes on the city wall, and subconsciously looked at the city, and saw a person in a black robe watching.

Waiting for the child to sit in the carriage, Zhang Xinan was still eating the retort cake bought from Chang'an City.

Aunt Yang saluted the people at the head of the city, sat on the wheel, and drove the carriage away.

The carriage walked away, and Li Shimin withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, Lishan ......

The original machine of the generator was still hoarding ash in the storehouse of Lishan, a product of its time that has not yet been used.

Listening to Li Tai's complaints, Zhang Yang said: "Isn't it possible to use its electricity to catch fish?" ”

"Electric catch fish?" Li Tai slapped his thigh, and suddenly had inspiration, "yes, I haven't tried what happens when this thing is put in water." ”

Zhang Yang felt that his brain hurt, and he sat on the chair and rubbed his temples, "Drag such a large steam engine to generate electricity, and then use this bit of electricity for this kind of thing?" Isn't that an exaggeration. ”

"Let's try it."

This fat man is still eager to try.

Li Yue and Princess Wei were talking and exchanging experiences in raising children.

Zhang Yang said to Yan Liben on the side: "Master Yan, it's good to have imagination in doing things in Lishan, but it can't be too much. ”

Li Tai spread his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, how do you know how powerful the generator is if you don't try." ”

Zhang Yang still refused to use this to catch fish, but Yan Liben was also very curious, so he followed Li Tai to arrange this matter.

As a result, there is a very strange scene in Lishan today, where everyone dismantled the original failed steam tractor, leaving the core transmission device connected to the generator.

Waiting for the generator to work, Li Tai ordered two poles to be put into the water, and then fish surfaced.

"Hahaha! It turns out that this thing was used to catch fish. Li Tai seemed to have discovered the door to a new world, and the surrounding villagers cheered.

The roar of tractors continues.

This humble generator finally has some use, but the use is a little weird.

Zhang Yang couldn't bear to look at this scene, why there was always such a stupid thing on the road of creation.

Holy, they're quite excited.

Zhang Yang looked up to the sky and said: "What kind of evil have I created?" ”

It seems that the motor is not so difficult to build, so don't let them continue to make evil, Zhang Yang took out a few magnets from the factory's warehouse and played with them repeatedly.

In fact, the principle of the motor is very simple, using the characteristics of magnets to repel and attract, and the use of electric current.

Zhang Yang sat down again, calmed down a lot, and frantically searched for physics knowledge from junior high school in his mind.

When the child came back, Zhang Yang said: "Are your Uncle Wei still using electricity to catch fish?" ”

"Nope."

"He's still a bit of a good life."

Zhang Xin'an said: "However, my uncle went to electric pork again." ”
