Yunchu returned home on horseback, sat in the flower hall, looked at the green spring scenery and sighed.
The Wu brothers are no longer afraid of his beatings.
In other words, they came here today to take the initiative to fight.
They have been skinned by Yun Chu.
He could only fight but not kill, which made Yunchu very embarrassed.
Ever since the power of the Tang Dynasty was divided into three parts, Yunchu's situation has been very difficult.
The emperor loved him, but he loved Yunchu, not the general who stayed behind in Chang'an, Yunchu. If Yunchu abandoned all his posts now and raised bears and walked in Jiucheng Palace with Li Zhi,
While chatting and playing cards, even if Yun Chu killed the Wu brothers in a fit of rage, Li Zhi would still regard it as a joke.
It's a pity that Yun Chu doesn't do it, he loves his Chang'an even more.
Prince Li Hong respects him very much. Likewise, he respects Yun Chu himself, not the general Yun Chu who stayed behind in Chang'an. If Yun Chu is willing to give up his current position and go to the East Palace to be the teacher of his two children,
Li Hong has no problem respecting him as his father.
It's a pity that Yun Chu didn't do it because he felt that the people of Chang'an or the Tang Dynasty needed him more.
The queen actually has no prejudice against Yunchu himself. If Yunchu is willing to go to the bachelor's hall to be a bachelor, recite poems and compose poems all day, or bury his head in a pile of old papers, the queen is actually very willing to discuss knowledge with Yunchu, and will
This was an absolute help to him.
It's a pity that Yun Chu quit. He rarely wrote poems recently. He still firmly controlled Chang'an, the important place of the Tang Dynasty, and was unwilling to let go.
Politicians always look at people in two parts.
Since Yunchu chose politics, he should be treated in a political way. On this point, the three qualified politicians all made it clear.
Because things like politics have never had anything to do with personal feelings.
In the past, when Li Zhi had the final say in the Tang Dynasty, Yun Chu had only one Shangguan, and he only had to make his own political arrangements for this one Shangguan. Now, the trouble is that there are three.
Moreover, these three people each firmly controlled three different fields, so Yun Chu had to divide his energy into three parts to deal with them separately.
Speaking of which, when one person is respected, it is the most efficient time to do things, but now we are in a situation where the three powers are in conflict. They restrict each other, guard against each other, and attack each other. This makes it many times more difficult for the grassroots to get things done.
The basis of politics is attack, defense, and competition. As for the people's livelihood issues that the people are concerned about, they are actually not a priority in the eyes of politicians.
For thousands of years, China's politics have spent most of its time internally, which is why China has such great power but cannot even break out of Asia.
However, no matter what we do, internal strife is also beneficial. While we are at war with each other, if we continue to cultivate this land politically and militarily, the possibility of division will be greatly reduced.
After all, politicians and military strategists have watered this land thoroughly with their blood. Losing any piece of it is as painful to them as cutting off flesh.
Therefore, over thousands of years, the basic disk has never been lost.
Because history is too long, Chinese politicians never focus on short-term gains and shortcomings when looking at problems. China has had too many glorious times and too many failed times. A temporary victory or a temporary failure, politics
People don't really care.
Their plans usually leave enough room for development and focus on tens or hundreds of years from now. Sometimes this strategy succeeds and sometimes it fails.
In short, there is no certainty.
These words sound like nonsense, but it is the truth contained in these nonsense that has allowed China to stumble forward 1,400 years later.
Thinking of this, Yun Chu sighed, took a sip of the warm tea in his hand, and said to Yu Xiurong who was waiting beside him: "Jin'er came back today, why is there no one at this time?"
Yu Xiurong came over and said: "The debate in Louguantai has already been debated to the point of death. He should not have time to come back."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "A monk or a Taoist?"
Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "The monks performed a demonstration of how to immediately sit down, and the Taoist priests performed how to ascend to heaven after fighting."
"Didn't Master Xuanzang and Sun Shenxian stop it?"
Yu Xiurong shook his head and said: "Those people are so fanatical. Before Master Xuanzang and the old gods in Chang'an could stop them, there were dozens of eminent monks who had attained enlightenment. The eminent monks who had attained enlightenment either died immediately or had people use steel to stop them.
He was beheaded with a knife, and it is said that Lou Guantai now smells of corpses.
Master Xuanzang and the old immortal heard about it and strictly banned it. Just like this, monks and Taoist priests continued to die.
Yesterday, the monks Zhang Dun and Jie Youhui from Wuwei Great Buddha Temple died after initiation. I heard that the oil hammer hit their foreheads without even a bruise. However, they immediately passed away, and the monks found two big monks.
The vat was used to lock Zhang Dun and Jie inside. According to Zhang Dun and Jie's ambition before his death, his body would remain immortal for thousands of years.
Husband, how do those monks and Taoists know that they will die on that day?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Master Xuanzang and Taoist Master Sun are indeed capable of dying at the drop of a hat. Others may not be able to do so."
"So, they all committed suicide?"
"It's possible he killed him!"
When it came to political conspiracy, Yu Xiurong stopped talking. She always felt that this should be her husband's responsibility, and it was not for her, a stay-at-home wife, to interfere.
Yun Chu took the deaths of monks and Taoist priests very lightly.
He felt that this should be a group of people who dedicated themselves to their grand ideals and should be respected no matter what.
Even if they are not voluntary, they should be respected. After all, sacrifice is real. You cannot say that someone's sacrifice is meaningless just because it is forced.
As for sacrifice, in Yunchu's view, it generally refers to the pig's head, cow's head, and sheep's head placed on the altar, which are sacred and inviolable. People or not will kowtow and bow in front of the sacrifice. This is the reason for the existence of sacrifice.
The meaning.
Yun Luan was the first to go home.
This is a young man in Tsing Yi. He used to have a chubby figure, but he seems to have started to lose weight recently. His round face has also started to have some lines. Because he was impatient to wear a hat, he got a pony tail hanging on the back of his head. It seems that he doesn’t like it very much.
She has long hair, and her ponytail is obviously trimmed and hangs playfully on the back of her head.
Yun Chu didn't know if the book under his arm was for decoration, but the sight of a sunny young man in a green shirt, coupled with his hand holding the book, made him look very comfortable.
"Aye, grandma."
Yun Luan, who was passing by the flower hall, saw that her parents were there, so she ran over to say hello.
Now that Yu Xiurong saw that his son was good at everything, especially as his son became more and more handsome, he loved the young son even more. He pulled him over, looked up and down, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the thin layer of sweat on his son's face.
"Stay farther away from Taiping from now on."
Looking at his son's eyes as bright as stars, Yu Xiurong ordered.
Yun Luan smiled and said, "Taiping doesn't like children like this."
Yu Xiurong frowned and said, "That was before!"
Yun Luan smiled and said, "Can the child eat more tonight?"
Yu Xiurong pulled her son to Yun Chu and said, "Look at the good son I gave you."
Yun Chu glanced at Yun Luan and said, "Did you go to the second workshop again?"
Yun Luan smiled and said: "My child mainly goes to see the microscope. The craftsmen there think that the spherical lens should improve the recognition. My child has seen it and it can indeed be improved. Unfortunately, there is some distortion."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Don't go to the yard next door."
Yun Luan nodded and said, "Even children can't get in."
Yun Chu nodded, then looked at Yu Xiurong and said, "Peace is in Chang'an?"
Yu Xiurong said: "In Prince Yong's Mansion, Jin'er is invited to attend the banquet."
Yun Chu looked at Li Si who was coming over in a hurry, frowned and said, "You didn't invite Sisi?"
Yu Xiurong shook his head and said, "Their relationship is not that great."
Li Si, who hurried over, heard what his mother-in-law said and said quickly: "Ah, Taiping came to Chang'an and brought young master Jian Congxiu, young master Liang Tong, and six North Gate bachelors. It was nominally a study tour, my child.
I feel like I have bad intentions.
The child will put the poisonous dragon in tonight to scare Taiping and drive her away early."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Then it becomes a cover-up. There is nothing in Chang'an that cannot be seen, so let him go."
Li Si shook his head and said: "Aye, don't underestimate Taiping, she is a lawless master."
Yun Luan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, Taiping came to Chang'an for a banquet but didn't invite us two. This is very unreasonable."
Li Si looked at Yun Luan and said, "Are we going to be evil guests?"
As he spoke, he walked around Yun Luan and said, "I'm afraid you'll never come back."
Yun Luan smiled and said: "Taiping is a simple-minded girl."
Li Si shook his head and said: "Even if she is harmless to humans and animals, don't forget that she is the most beloved child of the father and the queen. She does not eat people, and the father, the queen, and the queen do not.
In addition, she is surrounded by jackals. I even suspect that the reason why she invited Yun Jin to the banquet but not us is because she was waiting for us to fall into her trap.
Let the poisonous dragon go, I don't believe she's not afraid!
Anyway, it would be rude if she held a banquet without inviting me, so I should treat her as a matter of course."
Yun Chu sighed in his heart. Ever since the Wu brothers started talking about the second workshop in the morning, he knew that the queen was determined to win the second workshop this time.
Originally, the second workshop was just about researching some simple guns and cannons. There was nothing shameful about it, but to be honest, the guns and cannons studied here were used to deal with the Queen, so it was best for the Queen not to know about it.
It was originally a matter of one shot after another. Unexpectedly, in the first year of Qianfeng, those craftsmen actually made a flintlock gun that could barely be used as a murder weapon. After that, Yun Chu invested here. Got a lot of money.
Nowadays, although the guns have not yet met Yunchu's requirements, six artillery pieces have been cast. The emperor saw those cannons when he came last time.
Li Zhi was dumbfounded when he saw some shabby smoothbore cannons that were not even comparable to the rain-inducing cannons used by Yunchu. Even Xue Rengui was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
A total of twelve shots were fired, and six flowers exploded when the shells hit the ground. The other six shells did not explode at all, and six iron balls smashed six holes in the ground.
Compared to guns, Yunchu cares more about guns.
Because the cannon is too heavy, it is fine for defense, but using it for offense will only make you uncomfortable.
Nowadays, the army of the Tang Dynasty is invincible. All it needs at all levels is to attack. There should be no general who is willing to carry a cannon weighing seven or eight tons to travel thousands of miles to attack cities and seize strongholds.
Whether it's a gun or a cannon, Yun Chu doesn't care much whether Wu Mei knows about it. Anyway, this thing is currently a highly technical thing. The second workshop has Yun Chu's guidance and is still making progress. Well, with those guys under Wu Mei who only know the basics, it will take a long time to understand the firing principles of cannons and muskets.
In addition, artillery is supposed to be a deterrent. It is not very good to hide it from people.
However, Li Zhi didn't see it that way. He felt that this thing was an important weapon of the country and should only be in his control, and other people had no right to know about it.
This has led to the current embarrassing situation.
However, it is also very interesting to see the emperor, prince, queen and some unknown people killing their heads in the dark for the second workshop.
