Chapter 317: Where Do You Guys Live?
After the Lantern Festival, Chu Zhen stayed for two more days before saying goodbye to Sister Lin.
Not long after returning to Haicheng, Chu Zhen received a call from Li Shimin, and without much hesitation, after bringing some gifts, he crossed to Chang'an City again.
After experiencing the fireworks of Prince Li's last time, Chang'an is still the same Chang'an.
"Mr. Chu!"
Li Shimin bowed and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"This is the Prince's Mansion?"
Chu Zhen looked out the door and said with a smile: "Give me a house in Pingkangfang, and I will live there when I come in the future." It's good to order it ordinarily, I don't come here many times after all. ”
Li Shimin agreed first, and then said regretfully: "It's a pity that there are not many opportunities to invite Mr. to come, and Datang needs to recuperate in the future in order to raise the population." ”
"Take your time, you can't become fat in one bite."
Chu Zhen walked out of the door and asked again, "This time the Turks are here?" ”
"Exactly, but please Mr. meet Cheng Qian first, he has been missing his stepfather for the past few months."
Li Shimin said with a smile.
Chu Zhen happily agreed, came to the back garden of the East Palace, and met Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others in the West Pond Courtyard.
"Father-in-law!"
After Li Chengqian saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Li Tai and others also followed suit.
Chu Zhen smiled and asked, "Cheng Qian, how many books did I read last time I gave you?" Did you teach your younger siblings. ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "I was about to talk to my father-in-law about this, and Chengqian still had a lot of questions to ask my father-in-law, and my father couldn't answer them!" ”
The eldest grandson, the Yin family and other concubines all laughed, Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, and said with a straight face: "Before the popular science books on astronomy and geography written by these descendants, I, like you, have to learn modestly. ”
The eldest grandson complimented her husband and said: "Your Highness has calmed the world and made great achievements, but she is not complacent, and the concubine is based on His Highness's words and deeds." ”
Li Shimin smiled.
After a while, Li Chengqian brought the popular science book, opened it, and began to ask questions inside.
Li Tai, Li Ke and others gathered around to ask questions, and several popular science books were flipped around.
"Giraffe necks are so long because long-necked deer eat the leaves on trees, and over tens of millions of years, their necks are getting longer and longer."
"The stars in the sky are all suns, but they are very far away from us! Of course, with the exception of the Moon and Venus, they reflect the sun's light. ”
"Why hasn't the earth fallen? Because the sun is pulling us, like a huge hand, dragging the earth to run. Where to run? It has been going around the center of the Milky Way, and it takes 200 million years to make a circle! ”
Chu Zhen finally had the feeling of being a father-in-law, and he talked loudly, so that a group of children admired and looked at him!
These answers are not rigorous enough, but they are enough for Li Chengqian, a group of Tang Dynasty children.
After class, Li Shimin invited him to the banquet, and said mysteriously: "There is a special person to attend the banquet tonight!" ”
“…… It can't be a Turkic emissary, right? I forgot what it was called. ”
Chu Zhen guessed with a smile.
Li Shimin was surprised: "It's not surprising that the history books record this person, Mr. can guess right?" ”
Chu Zhen also laughed at his sycophant.
Nonsense, Li Shimin invited him to come, it must be the Turkic soldiers who pointed directly at Chang'an, and said that there are special people, then there are only Turkic envoys.
Chu Zhen didn't know what to talk about with the Turkic envoys, so he went first.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the feast began.
Chu Zhen walked into the Chongren Hall of the East Palace, and everyone waiting in the hall got up to welcome the arrival of the three of them.
Chu Zhen saw that compared with the previous times, there were many fewer people attending the banquet this time, and there were many more.
The few are military generals such as Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, and more are Wei Zheng, Pei Lian, Yu Shinan, Chu Liang and other ministers.
In addition, Li Jing came back, and he should have rushed back to Chang'an after fighting Fugong Qi to deal with the Turkic southward movement this time.
But Li Shiyun is not there, and he should also be in the leading army outside.
Except for Li Jing, almost all the rest of the generals were sent out by Li Shimin!
If Li Yuan had some other thoughts at this time, it would probably be the best time, but the Turkic army outside Chang'an City was very happy to see the situation of the Tang father and son fighting for power.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat."
Li Shimin and the eldest grandson knelt on the seat.
Chu Zhen was still sitting in the left position, and Fang Du and the two of them were still beside him, and they greeted each other.
Among the people who attended the banquet, there was a person who wore silver earrings and his hair was braided and hung down on the back of his head, and it could be seen at a glance that he was different from the Central Plains people, and should be an envoy sent by the Turks.
Chu Zhen didn't know what method Li Shimin wanted to use to make the Turks retreat, and he couldn't lead six horsemen to Weishui Bridge as the history books said, and "the Turks were shocked, and they were afraid of the horses."
The historian who wrote here must have used the Spring and Autumn penmanship!
More than 100,000 troops walked for a month before they came to Chang'an, and if they didn't take something back, I was afraid that the tribes would mutini on the spot.
But Li Shimin didn't introduce the Turkic man, and even ignored him, but smiled at everyone: "Mr. coming to Chang'an again, it is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty, I salute Mr. a cup!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his glass.
Chu Zhen also drank a cup, and everyone saluted him again, and Chu Zhen drank another cup.
Singing and dancing, everyone drank and watched the graceful posture of the dancing girl in the inner teaching workshop, laughing and laughing, not at all like being besieged by more than 100,000 troops.
After a round of dancing and dancing, the dancing queen retreated.
Li Shimin first asked Li Jingping about Fu Gongyi, and then told Chu Zhen that the radio had been sent to Luoyang, Hebei, Jiangnan and other places.
and took out the radio and contacted a general who was far away, Luo Yi.
Or call it Li Yi.
"King Yan, where are you now? Have you ever had dinner? ”

Li Shimin asked the classic "Have you eaten" question.
Li Yi, the king of Yan, is actually Li Yi, the king of Yanjun, and is different from Zhu Di's prince.
Chu Zhen picked up the newly fired court wine glass of the Tang Dynasty, and glanced at the Turkic envoy with the action of drinking.
Listening to Du Ruhui, he is called stubborn and loses his thinking power, and he is a confidant of Jieli Khan, and he can understand Chinese.
A month ago, Jieli and Tuli, the two big and small khans, led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses south to Jingzhou and forced Jingyang, and now their main force has come to the opposite side of the Weishui River outside Chang'an City.
He entered Chang'an for two days, but Li Shimin had not yet met him.
On the radio, Luo Yi's respectful voice came out: "Your Highness, I and the 100,000 soldiers and horses I led have already had dinner, and we are now stationed in the Evil Yang Ridge, waiting for Your Highness to give me an order, whether to enter Dingxiang, or to return to the court!" ”
One sentence made the Turkic envoy's face change greatly.
Chu Zhen asked, "Where are the evil yang ridge and Dingxiang?" ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "This question is a good question, there must be some of the princes present who don't know about Evil Yang Ling and Dingxiang, Xuan Ling, bring up the map!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Fang Xuanling got up, gave an order outside the hall, and after a short time, he took four people and walked into the hall with a map that was one zhang long and wide.
Dumbfounded, his head followed the map.
This map is densely filled with Chinese characters, and there are lofty mountains and mountains, and the Great Wall divides the inside and outside, not only their Turkic and Han territories, but also many places overseas.
If they can grab this map this time and go back, the harvest will be no less than breaking through Chang'an City!
"Hehehe."
Du Ruhui, who was beside Chu Zhen, sneered in a low voice, not only him, but also the other ministers in the hall laughed.
Obviously, this was a mockery of the appearance of the stubborn and thoughtless soil buns, and he was frightened by the map that Mr. Chu brought.
The four of them stood the map behind Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson looked back at the map, and then looked at Mr. Chu who was sitting there, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the gifts that Mr. gave to Erlang and Datang were always unexpected and shocking.
"The Evil Sun Ridge is here!"
Chu Zhen saw Li Shimin pointing to the west of Youzhou, that is, three hundred kilometers west of Beiping Mansion, about the vicinity of Huerhot.
Chu Zhen smiled: "How far is it from the Turkic Royal Court here?" ”
Li Shimin looked at Zhizhi Sili and showed a smile: "I don't know much about the account of the king of Saiwaiyidi, so I still ask the Turkic envoys to explain a thing or two to Mr., where do you Jieli Khan live on weekdays?" ”
Everyone in Datang looked at the stubborn and lost thinking power.
No one scolded and abused, and even his expression was not very sarcastic, but the coercion brought by it made the Turkic envoy feel a chill in his back.
How could they not know where the Khan lived?
They took out the radio station and the map to tell him: The Turkic court has also been surrounded by our army!
There may not be 100,000 troops.
Luo Yi, the king of Yan, may not have come to Evil Yang Ridge, maybe the Han people used a suspicious tactic.
However, the stubbornness of thinking, as well as the Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan north of the Weishui River, could not confirm whether what the Han people said was true.
They were to send someone back to the royal court, and after making inquiries, they would rush back to tell the two khans.
This trip will take at least half a month!
Li Jing arched his hand towards Chu Zhen and said with a smile: "I know a little bit about the Turks, the last Qimin Khan's court was in Shuozhou Dali City, Fengzhou Wuyuan, after hearing that Jieli Khan was the Khan, he intended to enter the Central Plains, so he set up the royal court in Dingxiang. ”
Chu Zhen looked at the map, the Evil Yang Ridge was not far from Dingxiang, and when Li Jing destroyed the DTZ, he also attacked Dingxiang City from here.
This map is the master version of the map of China in the later generations, and Li Shimin ordered people to write down all the places in the Tang Dynasty, and make the territorial boundaries as a development type, which means that all the boundaries outside the Tang Dynasty can be included at any time in the future.
This is an unfinished map.
When the border will be sealed depends on when Li Shimin is satisfied, and he feels that he can temporarily set the territory map of the Tang Dynasty, and then it will be demarcated.
The words have already been explained, and the stubborn thinking can only admit: "The Khan's court is there, but there are not many people in the royal court, and there are few treasures, even if you lead the army to attack, the wealth obtained is far less than what we have gained from breaking through Chang'an City!" ”
"How ridiculous Rong Di's words are!"
Chen Shuda reprimanded him as soon as he opened his mouth.
Li Jing also said calmly: "The city wall of Chang'an is tall and thick, the people of Chang'an work together, brave and fearless, not to mention your 100,000 people, even if you Eastern and Turkic come to attack together, Chang'an City is also impregnable!" ”
Pei Lin bowed to Chu Zhen and took the opportunity to compliment: "I still have Mr. Chu in Datang, how can you Yidi peep?" ”
The ministers of the Tang Dynasty even agreed.
Obsessed and speechless.
He didn't know whether Luo Yitun's soldiers were true or false, but he saw with his own eyes the height of Chang'an City, and the people of Chang'an City facing their more than 100,000 troops, but they still lived as usual, the city gates were still open, the east and west cities were open every day at noon, and there was an endless stream of people going to trade.
Regard their army of more than 100,000 as nothing!
Hateful!
But there is nothing to be done.
"My two khans have led a million troops to arrive, although the city is high, it can be broken!"
Zhi Sili hurriedly said a word, no longer further on this topic, and did not ask about other things, the words of the Han prince have shown that he will never be a minister, unlike Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others.
Zhi Sili looked at the man, and then asked, "I don't know who this Mr. Chu is?" ”
Since he entered the city, Datang has never restricted him from moving around, allowing him to visit Chang'an City, and only sent a few people to follow him.
He has walked around many places in the city in the past three days, and in addition to envying the prosperity and liveliness of the Han city, the one who listens to it the most is this Mr. Chu!
He even spent a lot of money to buy a medical book, which recorded how to deliver a woman, and when a pregnant woman gave birth in the city, the midwife delivered her according to the book.
In addition, he also heard these Han people arguing, two months ago, on the night of the crown prince, the sky burst into sparks, and the burning did not stop until half the night.
Mr. Chu is everywhere!
Even if he wanted to see the emperor of the Tang State or the crown prince, he only got a reply: wait until Mr. Chu comes!
By tonight, this Mr. Chu finally came.
