Before the emperor's corpse is eaten clean by insects, we must be on guard against him resurrecting his corpse.
There were no emperors in the era before Yunchu, but he had seen how a harmless leader tricked his boss and a group of officials after his death.
In one county, a total of 69 people from two teams were captured at once. The matter was very serious. An inconspicuous unit chief received a sentence of two years and six months in this political turmoil.
Li Zhi's political wisdom far exceeded that of the dead leader. Yunchu felt that Li Zhi wanted to take away more people in one wave.
Li Zhi's mausoleum in Qian County was very large. The mausoleum was planned from the year Li Zhi ascended the throne. The drawings were completed in the sixth year of Yonghui, and the construction officially started in the first year of Longshuo. It is still under construction today.
It is located on Liangshan Mountain, one hundred and seventy miles away from Chang'an. It covers an area of 5,000 acres and includes the three peaks of Liangshan Mountain. The highest peak in the middle is the cemetery Li Zhi prepared for himself. After cutting the mountain into After the dome, the remaining peaks on both sides become two Rushan mountains, and the scale of the mausoleum is extremely spectacular.
The layout of Li Zhi's mausoleum is actually the same as that of Chang'an. There are two city walls with a height of three feet outside the cemetery, which divide the mausoleum into the Guo City and the inner city. However, the city gates are fewer than those in Chang'an. There are only Qinglong, Zhuque, and White Tiger. The four gates of Xuanwu.
Although the scale of the mountain mausoleum is large, it does not use much national funds. This is very different from other imperial mausoleums, because the year of Longshuo happened to be the time when Li Ji led the Eastern Expedition army to return to the court. , that is to say, the construction of Li Zhi's mausoleum officially started only after Li Ji destroyed the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong.
Li Zhi told Yun Chu a long time ago that he had arranged a place for him in the imperial mausoleum...
It's scary to think about this now. God knows whether Li Zhi wants to bury Yun Chu alive in the imperial mausoleum or wait until Yun Chu dies.
Yun Chu would still be willing to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after death. After all, this was considered a high honor. If he was buried alive in the imperial mausoleum, Yun Chu felt that it might not be an honor.
Since Qin Shihuang used terracotta warriors and horses as burial objects instead of living people, future emperors rarely used human sacrifices. Of course, this was just because there were no large-scale human sacrifices. Small-scale human sacrifices often occurred. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Mrs. Gou Yi was buried.
"Han Shu" says that Mrs. Gou Yi died because she made a mistake and was scolded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and she died in depression.
"Historical Records" says that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worried that after his death, his son would be weak and his mother would be strong, so he ordered Mrs. Gou Yi to die.
Yunchu learned from Xu Jingzong that both of the above were nonsense. Was Mrs. Gou Yi martyred by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or was she the kind of person who hollowed out the internal organs and filled them with spices and would never rot?
Yunchu was more inclined to Xu Jingzong's inference. After all, what made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty unforgettable about Mrs. Gou Yi the most was her peerless appearance. If she were buried casually and ended up being riddled with insects, drilling holes all over her body, It doesn't look good.
Prince Li Hong also had this worry, especially after being beaten by Yun Chu, this worry became more intense. He felt that based on what he was doing now, he might not survive his father.
So, after staying in Chang'an for eighteen days, he went straight to the Liangshan Imperial Tomb construction site to inspect. After inspecting the Imperial Tomb construction site, he found out a lot of illegal things. Corruption was rampant here, which was shocking.
The furious Prince Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty went on a killing spree at the imperial mausoleum in Liangshan. After taking the blood of corrupt officials and mixing it with cinnabar and other pigments, he painted the murals of the White Tiger Palace to increase the killing power of the White Tiger.
Finally, 600,000 yuan was allocated from the East Palace Treasury to purchase new building materials to make up for the mistakes of corrupt officials.
After doing these things, he hurriedly set off straight to Jiucheng Palace, preparing to personally serve his old father who was sick and in poor spirits.
As for the ongoing battle for Chang'an, Li Hong felt that such trivial matters could not be compared with the importance of taking care of my husband's body.
Li Hong looks stronger recently, and even his face, which has always been handsome, is much rounder than before.
People who didn't know thought that His Highness the Crown Prince had gained weight. Only people like Naha who knew it knew that the Crown Prince's whole body was swollen and he also had a low fever.
From Liangshan to Jiucheng Palace, Prince Li Hong walked for half a month.
When he arrived at Jiucheng Palace, the prince finally returned to his former handsome appearance. Although the emperor allowed the prince to enter the Jiucheng Palace, the prince stubbornly asked the prince to stay in the wilderness sixty miles away from the Jiucheng Palace.
, he entered Jiucheng Palace with two hundred personal guards and Naha.
Li Zhi has become fat, and there is nothing that can be done about it. As long as the Li family does not insist on exercising, they will soon gain weight.
Of course, at the feet of the obese Li Zhi, there is also an even fatter bear.
Just by looking at the giant bear's eyes, Li Hong knew that the dead giant bear was not the giant bear rumored by the Chang'an people, because it was impossible for other giant bears to show pity for him in their eyes.
Li Zhi held a golden cup in his hand, which was filled with grape wine. His one eye was full of joking, and he said to Li Hong who had just finished the salute: "Why, you were taught a lesson by your master?"
Li Hong put his head at his father's feet and said ashamedly: "The lesson was terrible. Father, please don't teach me any more. The child will soon be unable to bear it."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Take off your clothes and let you have a look, and then we will discuss whether we should continue to teach you a lesson."
Li Hong obediently took off his clothes, revealing his colorful body that had not yet recovered.
Li Zhi stepped forward and poked Li Hong's green scar with his finger and said, "It seems that he was indeed taught a careful lesson by your master."
Li Hong smiled bitterly and said: "Except for the soles of my feet and this face that I can see, there is no good piece of flesh."
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Have you seen the Second Workshop?"
Li Hong nodded and said, "I've seen it."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "What do you see?"
Li Hongdao: "So much knowledge taught by my master has been learned by children and put into the belly of dogs."
This answer obviously did not meet Li Zhi's expectations, so Li Zhi continued to ask: "Why do you say that?"
Li Hong said with a strong air of fascination: "That big kettle is really important."
Li Zhi frowned and said, "What big kettle?"
Li Hong said in surprise: "It's that big kettle that can blow the impeller with water steam."
Li Zhi put down his wine glass and said, "You didn't go to see the artillery?"
Li Hongdao: "After seeing it, there is nothing surprising. Besides, this thing is not used by the Tang Dynasty army at present, but it needs to be kept secret and not leaked. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhi sat up and motioned for Li Hong to put on his clothes, and then said: "Tell me the reason."
Li Hong said while putting on his clothes: "The appearance of this thing has caused the most serious damage to our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were invincible. After the appearance of the artillery, they offset part of the combat power of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."
force.
This thing must not fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."
Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "You mean, this thing cannot be popularized?"
Li Hong nodded and said: "The appearance of artillery has offset all the advantages in training, equipment, and tactics of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. After all, no matter how brave, smart, or well-equipped the soldiers are, they will not be able to compete with those in front of artillery."
There is not much difference between the mob. The moment the bomb explodes, both the brave and the coward will be turned into powder without distinction.
Therefore, I believe that except for the personal guards of my father who can equip this object, this object should be strictly prohibited from being spread outside."
Li Zhi stared at Li Hong's eyes for a long time, and then said slowly: "My mausoleum is about to be built, you'd better not be too anxious."
Li Hongdao: "The child was a little anxious when his mother forced him to do it. After being beaten by the master, he suddenly realized that I didn't need to be anxious at all. I still have a lot of farming tasks that should be promoted and I haven't finished yet, and I still have a lot of new ideas.
Various places in the Tang Dynasty wanted to implement it, but it has not yet been implemented. Nowadays, there is a big kettle for children to discover that compared with doing practical things, power and other things can be put back."
Li Zhi asked the waiter to pour a glass of wine for Li Hong. After the father and son took a sip, Li Zhi said: "Don't imitate Prince Qian, that is not good."
Li Hong nodded and said: "Being upright and upright is the code of conduct that a child is prepared to follow throughout his life. Without this, it is not enough to make him stronger than his ancestors."
When Yunchu returned to the study, Yin Erhu, who was waiting in the study, put a bamboo tube in Yunchu's hand.
When he opened it, there was only a piece of paper one finger wide, which read - The giant bear is not dead.
Yun Chu put the note on a candle and lit it, then trampled it into powder with his feet. Then he said to Yin Erhu: "King Yong, Princess Taiping is casting cannons privately?"
Yin Erhu said: "So far, the person who secretly forged the cannon is Beimen Bachelor Xie Shilong. This person currently does not seem to be involved with King Yong and Princess Taiping."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "He Lan Minzhi still stays behind closed doors?"
Yin Erhu said: "I suspect that the person staying in Helan Mansion is not Helan Minzhi."
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "Find him."
Yin Erhu said: "There are already three groups of people looking for Helan Minzhi. He should not be able to escape."
Yun Chu sighed and said, "I should have killed him directly."
Yin Erhu said: "Xu Jingye has also disappeared for four years, but some people claim to have seen him in Caozhou recently."
Yun Chu shook his head with difficulty and said in a low voice: "I always thought that Li Chengxiu was the one whose life depended on Mr. Ying. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ying's final entrustment was given to Xu Jingye after all.
After all, he is an old guy with a background of bandits. He will not feel comfortable if he does not rebel..."
Yunchu knew that after the artillery was born, its powerful destructiveness would definitely arouse the bad thoughts of countless careerists.
Li Zhi also knew this, but what he seduced was those who were spying on his throne, while Yun Chu seduced those who were already invisible, preparing to hide and wait for the right time.
Anyway, at this moment, the artillery casting technology has been spread through the North Gate bachelors. Presumably, it won't be long before the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty will become scarce again.
Yunchu felt it was necessary to release the massive copper coins stored in Chang'an at a high price.
