Chapter 898 The confident Li Zhi

Among Li Zhi, Wu Mei, and Li Hong, the one who has the most confidence in Yun Chu is not Li Hong, but Li Zhi himself.

"What other strange things did he do while teaching you knowledge?"

Li Hong turned around and took a look at his mother's desk. He happened to see a soft bamboo ruler, so he casually placed half of the bamboo ruler on the desk, took a red tangerine sent by Yunchu, and lightly touched it.

Smash it, and the bamboo ruler was knocked down.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei didn't ask questions. They knew that things were not that simple. Sure enough, Li Hong put the ruler on the table again, covered the other half with a piece of white paper, and let go of the orange again. This time the orange was not there.

Instead of smashing the bamboo ruler, it bounced on the bamboo ruler and fell to the ground. The white paper on the bamboo ruler only shook violently before returning to calm, and the bamboo ruler stopped shaking.

After Wu Mei followed this small experiment about atmospheric pressure and got the same answer, she asked Li Hong: "Why?"

Li Hong smiled and said: "The prince said that there is a secret about the air in it."

Wu Mei was obviously very interested in these strange things, but Li Zhi said disapprovingly: "That pulley block is a craftsman's science, and this knowledge that does not stick to the ground seems to have nothing to do with governing the country. This is not a knowledge that the royal family should learn.

Yun Chu did a good job. These knowledge only give you some understanding, which is enough. As for the "Political Economics", it is the royal knowledge that is suitable for the prince. The rest are just trivial, insufficient theory, Xian'er and Dan'er.

It’s okay if you don’t learn.”

Wu Mei frowned and said, "They are all knowledgeable."

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said: "Are you going to let Xian'er and Dan'er learn these knowledge to build the city, or are you going to let him do civil engineering for the Tang Dynasty?

Yan Liben was ashamed because he was so famous for his paintings. Why did you let the prince take care of a lowly career?

Rather than letting them spend a lot of time learning this, it is better to send them to the residence of King Ji Li Shen to learn how to carve, which at least sounds more elegant."

Wu Mei felt that Li Zhi's words were reasonable, so she left it at that. Li Hong originally wanted to explain a few words to his master, but for some reason, he also kept his mouth shut, acquiescing to his father's opinion.

Li Zhi seemed to understand what Li Hong was thinking, so he smiled and said: "We have learned martial arts, and we are the emperor's family. We are reapers and users, not people who do things ourselves.

You are still young and don't know that a person's energy is limited. You always think that you can know everything and be able to do everything. In fact, it is already amazing if we can do one thing well in our lifetime.

If you should give up, you must give up. At your current age, you are at the age where you should know how to give up."

Li Hong nodded, indicating that he had been taught, but he still felt sorry for Li Xian's choice. Perhaps, being able to study in the Yun Family would be the happiest time in a prince's or princess's life.

After Li Hong left with Li Xian, Li Zhi said to Wu Mei, "Do you understand now?"

Wu Mei smiled and served Li Zhi tea: "Yunchu's knowledge seems great, but it is just a skill."

Li Zhi smiled while enjoying the tea served by Wu Mei.

"As long as it is a technique, no matter how powerful it is, I can tolerate it. This thing is only good for me, the Tang Dynasty, and has no harm. Whether it is a technique that can build a city or a field that can grow three to five buckets.

The art of millet, or the art of weaving a piece of cloth in one day, even the art of gunpowder, which can split mountains and rocks, I can tolerate it."

When Wu Mei heard this, she immediately heard something different from the emperor's mouth, and immediately said: "Did Yun Chu make the gunpowder?"

Li Zhi smiled and said: "What do you think?"

Wu Mei immediately said: "So, the Xianyang Bridge explosion was also done by him?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's right."

Wu Mei added: "He was also responsible for the murder of the Tubo envoy?"

Li Zhi took a sip of tea and said, "Yes."

"Your Majesty knew this a long time ago?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's right."

"Why didn't Your Majesty ask Yunchu?"

Li Zhi laughed and said: "My eyes and mouth were covered by the secret recipe of gunpowder."

"In this case, wouldn't the laws of the Tang Dynasty become child's play?"

Li Zhi put down his tea cup and spread his hands and said: "There is no more suffering master. How do you want me to punish the sin?"

Wu Mei sighed and said: "This is not child's play..."

Li Zhi said calmly: "Forget about this..."

Wu Mei took a long time to say: "Your Majesty was too tolerant to Yun Chu."

Li Zhi half-squinted his eyes and said, "If there is another character like this in our Tang Dynasty, I will be even more beautiful."

Wu Mei knew that this was all done by Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui in Hedong, which gave the emperor his ambition to control the world, and at the same time he was a little more tolerant towards those who were talented.

Just like Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, sang "The Song of the Great Wind" at the banquet after he established the world, which means the same thing.

Pei Xingjian sat in Weizhou and disarmed the Weizhou soldiers. Now Weizhou is calm and the officials sent by the emperor are taking over Weizhou safely. The re-division of the land is in full swing. Anyone who has been allocated the land

There is no one who does not speak well of the emperor.

After Xue Rengui abandoned the big burden of the emperor, he also marched into Bozhou. He did exactly what Pei Xingjian did in Weizhou and disarmed Bozhou. The officials sent by the emperor became more and more experienced.

Despite this earth-shattering event, the people did not panic. Not only did the division of the big families go very smoothly, but there was no glitch in the annihilation of the wealthy families.

Although the work of the mutual aid group was lagging behind, compared with the people-friendly work carried out by Li Si with a large group of shopkeepers, the officials in the court seemed not to know how to deal with these poor people who had just been allocated land.

Seeing that the weather was getting warmer, Li Zhi was ready to set off towards Mount Tai to continue his Zen ceremony.

This time, the emperor planned to go directly to Yanzhou. When he arrived at Yanzhou, he would also arrive at Qufu. From Qufu, he would cross Mount Tai in Surabaya.

From Puyang to Yanzhou, there are two big lakes in the middle, one is Juyeze and the other is Dongping Lake. Guliang Mountain is between these two big lakes. If the emperor wants to go to Yanzhou, Liangshan is the only way.

In the Tang Dynasty, as long as there were large swamps, large lakes, and large mountains, there would definitely be strong beams entrenched in them.

Yun Chu doesn't care about these people. The scouts in the army can kill them all. The problem is that the current Qiang Liang is probably not a Qiang Liang in the ordinary sense. After countless wealthy families join, Qiang Liang will really become very powerful.

powerful.

Yun Chu couldn't understand that when he was in the rear army, he had to carefully guard the emperor's retreat. When the emperor came to his army, he should have been in the middle army, and Xue Rengui should have become the rear army. Pei

The inspector must be the former army, responsible for clearing all obstacles on the emperor's path.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was so confident now that he directly divided Yunchu's army into three parts, one part was the front army, one part was the middle army, and one part was the rear army.

He felt that with the 80,000 people in his hands, he could confidently go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

Yun Chuyi wrote three memorials in a row, asking the emperor to be cautious and at least stay in Puyang for a while. After the affairs in Weizhou and Bozhou were over, it would not be too late to go to Yanzhou.

The memorial was left unpublished by the emperor.

Yun Chu also suggested that the army should go through Puzhou, pass Fan County, pass through Yanggu, Dong'a, and station in Jezhou City. In this way, it can always respond to Pei Xingqian in Weizhou and Xue Rengui in Bozhou.

And after arriving at Jeju City, it will be on the same level as Pyongyin, Feicheng, and Mount Tai. It should be the best road to Mount Tai.

The memorial was still rejected by the emperor. Yunchu didn't know what the emperor wanted to do. He had to go to Yuncheng, Liangshan, and Pinglu, which were all over the Qiangliang area, and then to Yanzhou. As a result, the road to Mount Tai became longer.

Because the road passing through Juyezawa and Dongping Lake has become more difficult.

On the last day of February, Yunchu, who had become the army commander again, had to lead his army to Puzhou.

The spring rain in Puzhou in March was continuous. Yun Chu wore a poncho and rode hard towards the east under the protection of a large group of pro-army troops. The armor on his body absorbed a lot of moisture and became much heavier. The most terrible thing was the bow string.

, the crossbow string has become damp and needs to be replaced every four hours.

Eighty thousand people trudged forward on a dilapidated official road. This kind of dirt road basically turned into a quagmire after being soaked by rain and then crushed by the baggage trucks in front.

The emperor's huge luanjia turned into a four-wheeled carriage produced by Chang'an. Yunchu did not dare to let the emperor's new luanjia leave his sight. Every half an hour, military commanders and horses were sent to pay respects to the emperor.

On the muddy ground, there were many people, horses, and cars, plus the continuous spring rain. The army set out from the early morning and walked for four hours before they could barely cover forty miles. And by this time, Yun Chu had already made it very difficult.

satisfied.

Compared with yesterday's twenty miles, today was considered smooth.

Wearing armor, Li Hong always wanted to be at the forefront as his father's vanguard, but was sternly rejected by Yun Chu. With Wen Wen as the vanguard, Li Hong's departure would only drag Wen Wen down.

Among the three armies, the forward was the most tired. Yun Chu led the middle army to the camp where Wen Wen's forward camp had been set up. Before he could take a breath, he learned from Wen Wen that the scouts sent out reported that if we go further,

Go ahead and you'll reach a hundred miles of no-man's land, with Juyezawa just ahead and on the right.

Juye Ze is the result of the flooding of the Yellow River. This large lake is not exactly a large lake. It should be more appropriately described as a swamp.

It would be good to pass through here in the cold winter, because after the ground freezes, it is easier for carriages and horses to walk. Now that the ground has long melted, and there is still continuous spring rain, it will be a serious test for Yunchu's army.

.

Gentle wiped the rain on his face and said softly: "Your Majesty, are you going to the Kong family in Qufu?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. The head of the Kong family, Kong Zhiyue, is in the army. If we want to deal with the Kong family, it is enough to send a single general. There is no need to go through this mud and suffer."

Wen Wen's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Yun Chu strangely and said, "Tell me, is His Majesty prepared to experience a battle in person?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty takes your own life very seriously."

She gently shook her head and said: "His Majesty's chariot arrived at the camp before you. I saw that your Majesty was wearing a golden armor, very majestic, and next to him was the giant bear, which was covered in mud and was almost dirty.
