Chapter 253: Three Years of Travel, Return to Chang'an, Let You Eat Something You Have Never Eaten in Your Life!
But Qin Tian quickly put it behind him.
History has been flapped by the wings of his butterfly, and it has changed too much, and it is difficult to say whether there is such a person as Wu Cao in history now.
It's a bit unnecessary to worry about that now.
Although it was leisurely here, Qin Tian didn't stay here for too long, and still went south.
This made Luo Linhai very reluctant.
After getting along for the past few days, Ling Xia also has a different feeling about this talented child.
At least in her long life, there were few such people.
It's a pity that they still have to embark on the journey after all, and I don't know when the next time we see each other.
Maybe the next time we see him, he will be dead.
Getting along with mortals is like this, if you are not careful, your opponent will be born, old, sick and die for various reasons, which is an unavoidable fate for mortals.
Therefore, Ling Xia and Mu Chun learned early not to invest too much emotion in mortals.
The emotion that is too much invested here is for an individual, who does not have a deep friendship with a mortal.
But that doesn't mean they can let someone die in front of them.
They are at least the ones who will be moved by the suffering that is visible in the present.
When Qin Tian took his two little apprentices from the south to Chang'an again, it was already two years later.
During this period, even in Lingnan, Qin Tian had heard about Li Shimin's benevolent administration in recent years.
Such as redeeming children for the people, such as sacrificing to heaven, such as self-confession, and amnesty in the world.
In short, even after leaving Chang'an, the news about Li Shimin in Qin Tian's ears was almost never broken.
After all, he is the son of heaven, and it is no exaggeration to say that Li Shimin is the top of this era!
And in the third year of Zhenguan, the third year after Li Shimin's reform, DTZ invaded south again.
The guards Zhang Shigui and Zhang Baozai took advantage of each other's advantages to form a corner at this time, and the wall was cleared.
And by holding the city and not taking the initiative to stop the Turkic cavalry, this battle finally made the Turks return in vain.
In the face of another southward invasion by the Turks, Li Shimin was not only not angry, but overjoyed.
Because this found an excuse for Li Shimin to send troops to counterattack the Turks.
The first thing you need to know is that in fact, as early as last year, Datang had the opportunity to use troops against the Turks.
At the end of last year, there was heavy snow on the grassland, and due to the outrageous operations of Jieli Khan in the past few years, countless tribes eventually rebelled.
The Turki Khan even asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help.
It's just that Li Shimin thought about it again and again, and finally refused.
The snowstorm on the grassland seems to be an opportunity, but in fact it is a trap!
This is not to say that the Turks have prepared a trap and waited for Li Shimin to get into it, but because the current situation in Datang is not good.
In the past two years, disasters have occurred frequently, even Datang has not made any big moves, and the life of the people is not very easy.
How long has it been since I cultivated? is so rash to go out on an expedition, even if the result is to win, Datang will be quite unhappy internally.
But this year is a bumper year, coupled with the accumulation of the previous two years, Li Shimin feels that Datang has the ability to fight abroad!
Of course, the main reason was the rebellion within the Turks, which gave Li Shimin great confidence.
And until now, he still remembers Qin Tian's teachings at the beginning.
The situation inside the Turks is so serious, why are they still invading south?
And the strength of this invasion is too weak compared to the previous ones.
Then there is only one answer, if they don't go south, they will starve to death.
There is no way to go south.
The southward invasion was actually for two reasons for the Turks.
First, they can loot supplies, and secondly, they can consume too many people and save rations.
After judging this, Li Shimin decisively decided to start an offensive against the Turks!
It just so happened that Li Shimin needed a knife, so he handed the knife over to him stupidly.
Speaking of the rebellion within the Turks, this actually has a certain relationship with Li Shimin.
After seeing Li Shimin's appearance in the Central Plains, Jieli Khan's heart that had been stirring for a long time could no longer hold back.
He also wants to be like Li Shimin, and he also wants to be a king who says everything!
But above the steppe is a tribal system, and he, the titular khan, actually does not have as much control over other tribes as others think.
The convergence of power and the proximity to the center is the course of an empire.
If he really did it, maybe he would be the first Genghis Khan in history!
It's a pity that this guy's ability can't match his ambition!
Jieli Khan's reused guy was a Han Chinese named Zhao Deyan who had defected from the Central Plains.
This person is just a small person, but because what he did is so outrageous, he also has a place in the history books.
What did this guy do?
Because of his status as a Han scholar and his ability to drill camps, he was highly trusted by Jieli Khan in the Turks.
As soon as he heard that Jieli Khan wanted to have power like the emperor of the Central Plains, Zhao Deyan immediately understood the meaning.
According to the customs of the steppe, at first the management of the Turks was very simple, nothing more than whoever had the biggest fist listened to whomever he wanted.
This simple management method is rudimentary, but it is very effective for this ecology on the grassland.
For the tribesmen of the steppe, simplicity and effectiveness are the most important thing!
But in order to favor the Khan, Zhao Deyan not only ordered the tribes of the grassland to change their customs, but also set up many rules and regulations.
As a result, almost everyone was dissatisfied.
But Jieli Khan eats this set.
In his opinion, if he wants to become a character like the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains, his subjects should naturally learn from the people of the Tang Dynasty!
If only that's it, the Kejieli Khan's rampant conquest, coupled with the frequent disasters on the grassland in recent years, has caused the grassland to become more and more turbulent!
These are not the most fatal problems of Jieli Khan.
The most fatal problem of Jieli Khan is that as a Turk, he not only does not trust the basic plate of the Turks, for fear that they will snatch his rights, but instead uses the Hu people to restrict the Turks!
The means of checks and balances of power are necessary for a powerful emperor, but it is a pity that Jieli Khan has learned four dissimilarities.
The people he trusted were treacherous and cunning, and later because of his empathy with the Turks, he betrayed Jieli Khan with his backhand.
Laughing and generous, it belongs to yes.
This Jieli Khan lost his wife and lost his soldiers.
The combination of these factors led to today's rebellion.
It can only be said that there is a cause and there must be an effect!
The process of the war was lackluster, and Datang was like a bamboo, which could not be more smooth!
In November of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin sent troops to conscript, and in March of the fourth year of Zhenguan, news came from the front line that Jieli Khan was captured alive!
At this point, three years ago, the Turkic forces that were still arrogant and once hit the gate of Chang'an City completely lost the ability to threaten the Tang Dynasty.
When the news came, many tribes called Li Shimin the Heavenly Khan and asked for submission.
Li Shimin was naturally extremely complacent about this, and happily accepted it, and sent a seal to the people of these tribes to make them kings.
At this point, Datang's border has stabilized.
By the time Qin Tian returned to Chang'an City, Jieli Khan's captivity-sacrificing ceremony had ended.
This old and young man is also interesting, knowing that his general trend is gone, he desperately tried his best to please Li Shimin, and even took the initiative to dance, which made Li Shimin laugh heartily and pardoned his life.
Of course, although he survived, he was destined to never return to the grassland in this life, and could only die in Chang'an City!
Li Shimin can't let this guy go back and continue to make trouble for himself!
In the past few years, Sun Simiao has not stayed in the capital all the time, but will often travel to treat diseases and save people.
When Qin Tian came back this time, Sun Simiao happened to be not at home, so after coming back, Qin Tian had no friends to visit.
But Qin Tian didn't care either.
Traveling is actually a very energy-consuming thing.
Even if he is a practitioner and can avoid physical exhaustion, the feeling of exhaustion that arises from the depths of the spirit is unavoidable.
Therefore, Qin Tian was also very happy to enjoy this rare leisure time.
Every day at home, Qin Tian and the two disciples were very leisurely, except for basking in the sun every day, they were fiddling with some food.
The small courtyard often smells of various foods.
In addition to these, Qin Tian will also receive some patients from time to time and treat them for free.
It's just that the medical hall doesn't open often, and on the whole, Qin Tian is still very leisurely.
……
Qin Tian waved his hand, as if to drive away the person who was blocking the sunlight in front of him.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Tian didn't open his eyes and asked lazily.
"How can Brother Qin talk like this, I haven't seen you for a few years, I miss it so much!" Li Shimin said a little aggrieved.
"I didn't expect Brother Qin to come back for so long, and he didn't even know me."
Qin Tian sighed: "I don't even know where your home is, how can I inform you?" ”
"Could it be that you really think of me as an immortal who can pinch and calculate?"
Of course, Qin Tian knew Li Shimin's identity, and even knew which concubine he stayed at night.
But Li Shimin never revealed his identity to him, and Qin Tian was happy to pretend that he didn't know.
"This ......," Li Shimin smiled a little wryly.
"Don't talk about this, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, shouldn't we get together?"
"I've already set a place in Shunde Building, let's go together tonight?"
Qin Tian waved his hand: "Excuse me, I really can't get used to the things in Shunde Building." ”
"But since you said so, stay for dinner tonight and give you something you've never eaten before!"
"Oh?" Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Is it possible that Brother Li will cook by himself?" ”
Qin Tian nodded: "That's not a problem, I'm not like a rich kid like you, I come to stretch out my hand to eat to open my mouth, I, an ordinary person, don't cook by myself, where do I get to eat?" ”
"Master!" Mu Chun on the side was a little dissatisfied: "I can also cook!" ”
Qin Tian glanced at Mu Chun: "You can also cook?" Excuse me! ”
Mu Chun was a little embarrassed, and gently waved his pink fist as a threat.
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Qin laughed, with Brother Qin's ability, as long as he becomes an official, isn't it glory and wealth, and he can enjoy it endlessly?"
Qin Tian pointed at Li Shimin with his finger: "It's been a few years, why haven't you given up the idea back then?" ”
Li Shimin's expression was straight: "Now is a good time to serve the country!" ”
After thinking about it for several years, Li Shimin decided to play the emotional card to persuade Qin Tian.
He can tolerate Wei Zheng's character, even if the other party is disrespectful, Li Shimin still respects the other party very much.
Now Qin Tian just doesn't want to be a leader, what is this?
Five hundred years ago, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty also visited the thatched house three times and invited Zhuge Kongming to come out of the mountain!
Why not invite yourself a few more times?
That's right, in Li Shimin's heart, Qin Tian is no worse than the existence of the first loyal minister of the ages, and he can completely let him take care of the thatched house!
Qin Tian motioned for this matter not to be said again, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
That Shunde Lou Qin Tian has also eaten a few times, how to say the taste, it can only be regarded as average, and there is not much difference from the mainstream diet in this era.
If you really want to say that it is delicious, in fact, it is just that the ingredients used are good enough, and although the cooking techniques have improved a lot compared with before, there are actually not many tricks at all.
Qin Tian's dinner tonight was very simple, nothing more than three small stir-fries, a pot of white rice, and a bowl of hot soup.
At the same time, Qin Tian also warmed a pot of wine.
This wine was brewed by himself before he left, and it has been cellared in this courtyard for three years, and today is just the time to open it!
"You're a good boy!"
Qin Tian dug out the jar of wine from the courtyard and smiled at Li Shimin: "This wine has been brewed for three years, and you are the first person to drink this wine!" ”
Li Shimin rubbed his hands: "Then I can be regarded as the right one today!" ”
Li Shimin smelled the aroma of stir-fry early and couldn't help it!
Everything was ready, and Li Shimin couldn't wait to put a chopstick stir-fry in his mouth.
For a moment, his eyes widened.
"This ...... How exactly is this done? It's so delicious! After that, Li Shimin couldn't hold back anymore and was crazy about picking vegetables.
Qin Tian smiled helplessly.
Although the ingredients he uses are all impregnated with spiritual energy, which is very extraordinary, it is only the level of food.
It is not difficult to see that Li Shimin's posture is actually somewhat performative!
But if you really want to say it, Li Shimin is also seven points of truth and three points of acting skills.
After all, Qin Tian made it, it was really delicious!
It was a novelty he had never tried before.
"Actually, it's as simple as casting a big iron pot out of iron, then heating the pot over a fierce fire, pouring in lard, and then stir-frying over high heat, so that it can be made."
Qin Tian smiled: "But if you want to stir-fry well, you need some other condiments, just the original flavor of the ingredients is stir-fried, but the taste is average!" ”
Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "Brother Qin has such a secret recipe, he can open another Shunde Building in the capital, and the business of Shunde Building will definitely be robbed by you!" ”
Qin Tian smiled and shook his head, and took out a piece of paper from his arms: "It's still free." ”
