Seeing Qin Wenyuan pondering, Li Shimin couldn't bear it and shouted angrily.
"Can't you tell others about this?"
Qin Wenyuan wondered if there was anything I couldn't say. Don't you just want to know the purpose of what I did?
This guy was smiling and joking.
"Haha! There is nothing that Wei Chen can't do to others. Zhang Zhongjian's voyage to the sea is a private act. There is no law in the Tang Dynasty that prohibits people from going to sea. Moreover, the warships built did not cost the imperial court any money. Wei Chen thinks this matter
The interests of the imperial court were not involved, so why should we report it?"
"Hmph! Please tell me the purpose of this voyage and how to build such a huge warship."
"My lord! The purpose of this voyage is nothing more than trade. Do you think that there are all kinds of wonders in the world, so that the specialties of the Tang Dynasty will not be popular with foreign countries? In this way, we can exchange for items that our dynasty has never had before.
It can also broaden people's horizons and learn about foreign civilizations. Isn't it a profitable thing? As for the warship, it is not easy to build, and it cannot be described in a few words. Moreover, the court will not care about this matter, so what's the point?
Use it."
Yes! That Zhang Zhongjian was at sea for a long time did not pose any danger to the Tang Dynasty. Going to sea was a personal wish and did not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Whether others say it or not, what does it mean to hinder your court?
Li Shimin thought like this, but based on his understanding of Qin Wenyuan, could this kid do anything useless? Absolutely not, but the meaning of it made the old emperor feel itchy.
Li Chunfeng, the imperial eunuch of the imperial court, did know a little about overseas affairs. However, due to the difficulty of building small sea ships, he never thought that Xiao Tang would be able to sail to the sea to explore strange places one day. I heard that Lord Qin had already ordered people to set out to sea.
, the guy actually said excitedly.
"What Yu Zhining did is really of far-reaching significance. According to someone's knowledge, there are very few islands under the sea in the southeast, and they are rarely inhabited or occupied by a large number of uncivilized wild people. If they are occupied, their cold and warm
The crops grown in the climate are of no use, and the benefits that the island's rich minerals can bring are not known to anyone. Zhang Xuansu's talents are within the reach of someone. Can I make it possible for someone to get it in the future?
What he wants is to go out to sea with Zhang Xuansu?"
Yan Hongzhi, the old man, was stubborn and whispered.
Li Chengqian finally paid little attention to the Qin family's purpose of going to sea this time, and the ignorant people in the court also felt that Mr. Qin was reluctant to spend huge sums of money to build a small boat. From understanding to admiration, he thought that the little Tang Xungui, the aristocratic family and the small family would live forever.
Fighting for profit, but knowing that the Qin family has already extended its tentacles into the sea. In comparison, it is like looking at the sky from a well. The rise of the Qin family is not unreasonable.
"There is nothing that is impossible. If Mr. Li is afraid of hard work when he goes to sea last time, he can just go with it."
Li Chengqian's purpose of making the prince observe the things in heaven did not achieve the desired effect, but instead awakened the rebellious devil in Yan Hongzhi's heart.
Eight veterans, including Zhang Zhongjian, Mr. Xu, and Qin Wenyuan, relied on their qualifications as veterans and the favor of the emperor. When they saw that the prince was still acting in his own way towards the junior minister who had retired to the East Palace to teach, they used gentle and fierce words to persuade him.
, Li Chunfeng liked the sharpness of his sentences even more.
"Chongwen Hall" is a school specially set up by Li Chengqian for the prince. All classes and examinations are submitted to the "Hongwen Hall" for the emperor's reading.
After learning that the Holy Man would be released soon, Mr. Qin simply stayed at the eldest princess's residence to wait for the Holy Man, hoping that he would then go to "Licheng".
"Since the smoke and dust from Hu's riding, Xianluo has been filled with fishy hair and smell. Men learn Hu's makeup from Hu's wife, and send her to Hu's music to serve Hu's music."
All the ministers in the court knew the meaning of Lord Qin's words. Is it because Princess Xiangcheng has not married into the Qin family yet? Lord Qin is still worried about the emperor! In addition, the court has not done anything to suppress the Qin family.
, how could that guy help Li Tang? Whether he rebelled or not was already a matter of concern for Li Tang. All the people of the Little Tang Dynasty were lucky...
At this time, the Xiaotang court was very tolerant of Lilai culture. The main reason was that
"Your Majesty, if the imperial court wants people to go to sea, first of all, they will have to buy small boats. As far as I know, the construction of small boats is a big deal and the cost is huge. Secondly, they will have to live under the sea for many years.
crew members, otherwise, everything is just talk. Wei Chen thinks that His Majesty cannot discuss this matter with the weak aristocratic families and make them contribute money and effort to build ships and train seamen. Wei Chen can then provide ship drawings.
With Your Majesty, in this way, Your Majesty’s wish can be achieved.”
While Master Qin was waiting for Saint Qingxia to come out of seclusion, he was reorganizing the "Xucun" and other young properties in Chang'an City. He often called the butler Xu Shijun who stayed in Chang'an City, the intelligence leader Chen Laoba, and the disciples of the Saint of Lishan Sect to discuss what to do.
While expanding the scale of business and making preparations to return the exotic products brought back by the merchant ships returning from the ocean to be sold in the east and west cities of Chang'an, various news about Li Chunfeng came again from the court.
Hearing that Kong Yingda didn't seem to understand things in the sea, and that he mentioned the disadvantages of not making small promises, Li Chengqian and other officials in the court began to worry about gains and losses, for fear that others would seize the opportunity but they didn't know how to build a boat like the Xu family.
, making people go out to sea to make money.
"According to what Yu Zhining said, there are many places in Xiaotang that you are not aware of. This time Zhang Xiaoxia went to sea to increase his knowledge and explore unknown areas."
For a time, there were frequent trade exchanges between various ethnic groups outside the city of Chang'an, and various graphics and patterns representing foreign cultures could be seen everywhere. However, the people of Xiaotang admired them very much and were proud to be exposed to these new things, making people from Yinlang, Tianzhu and other countries
The food, daily necessities, and graphic decorations of the Turkic and other ethnic groups gradually penetrated into various regions of the Tang Dynasty, and even among the royal family. The extravagant trends led by various aristocratic families and court nobles caused the smoky Libang customs to spread among the people of the Little Tang Dynasty.
Poetry as proof:
At that time, Prince Li Chunfeng was suffering from foot disease and getting older, and his heart no longer rebelled against the rules.
Mr. Qin's words made Li Jing think to himself.
"Your Majesty! Is there anything that I can't report to you? Is your Majesty willing to solve it, or is your talk bad?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Your Majesty must be annoyed. To say that the sky is small, I cannot say that. As far as Wei Chen knows, the sky is divided into seven small ones.
The ancient civilization did not include ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India and the Tang Dynasty. The rivers are divided into two river basins, the Nile River Basin, the Indus River Basin and the Yellow River Basin. These seven small river basins are generally called the earliest derivatives of human civilization. As human beings explore the sky
The small land is constantly exploring, which is suitable for human survival, and the working lands and islands have become small and large countries, and Xiaotang is just one of those countries. To sum up, you must have
I can imagine that there were many children in the world that day!"
His Highness Yang Shidao, Duke of Ande County, who has just been appointed as the imperial secretary, said.
"Only he can! Tell me, there are many small ones in the world. How can Cheng be smaller than me?"
The cause of this incident was that Yan Hongzhi was stimulated by Yan Hongzhi's talk about the strange news in the sky at the court meeting. He thought, Yang Yang, Xiaotang, how could my prince know the advantages of heaven and earth?
After finishing dealing with the affairs of the "Tianxuan Sect", Chen Laoba reported the news that Yan Hong had ordered the East Palace to set up a "Chongwen Hall" to collect scriptures and books to teach the prince of the young Tang Dynasty and other young Confucian students.
Li Chengqian was not a little annoyed when he heard Mr. Qin's smile. Then he heard the guy say something that was pleasant to his ears, and he spoke with a bright face.
When Li Chengqian heard that the minister stationed in the East Palace reported that the prince had been doing ridiculous things all day long instead of focusing on his studies, he got angry and ordered the imperial guards to kill "Rong Xin" and throw his body into the wilderness. Yan Hongzhi was so sad that he married his beloved daughter in the East Palace.
He set up a monument in a tree tomb, gave him official positions, and made people in the palace pay homage to him day and night. He often cried and shed tears.
Yan Hongzhi still stayed outside the city of Chang'an, going to "Lishan" to deal with matters in the "Tianxuan Sect" and to visit the holy man Qingxia of the "Lishan" sect.
"Hey! Qin's master traveled in the sky and saw very little area. Moreover, Qin's master did not record the secrets of the geography of the sky and the folk customs of various countries. It is certainly strange that Qin could know how small the sky is. According to a certain
The knowledge that there is an end to the ocean and a limitless place on the horizon, when no new land appears, and to determine whether it is what you think, going out to sea to explore is the worst way."
"Yan Hongzhi, when he comes to the capital this time, apart from participating in Chai Shao's funeral, does he have anything to say to me?"
"Then the eldest son is digging a hole for His Majesty. The small and aristocratic families in the imperial court are all those who only want to profit but are willing to pay. How can they contribute money and effort for Yan Hongzhi's evil intentions? His Majesty does it with such coercion.
, will definitely attract the praise of the young and junior ministers, the elder has such a good idea, he actually learned how to calculate."
"Anger is a fight, sadness is a blessing!"
"Of course! Li Shimin led his team to the sea to explore unknown countries along the coast or through coastal areas. In addition to doing business with Li Bang, he also learned about Li Bang's civilization for your use."
Such gentle words were enough, but Mr. Xu did not follow them with words that were more hurtful to his self-esteem.
However, it was expected that the emperor's edict caused Prince Li Chunfeng to catch a cold.
"The prince is young, so he should be taught too slowly, and he should be praised and reprimanded face to face."
It's ridiculous that although those ministers are full of knowledge, they understand that education must be gradual and step-by-step, and that for a prince like Yan Hongzhi, there is no way to blindly instill knowledge and admonish students to learn and correct the deviations in the prince's behavior. This move
Although it had the effect of inducing eggs, it made Yan Hongzhi secretly resentful.
Yan Hongzhi was in such a relaxed atmosphere all day long, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. In order to relieve his inner troubles, he actually found Slow Joy in the body of an eunuch who was not ugly and good at singing and dancing outside the East Palace, and named him
"Sustaining one's wishes" and fooling around with him all day long made the ministers in the Eastern Palace feel disappointed with the prince, and they all sighed.
Mr. Qin wanted to laugh at Li Chengqian's words. Damn it! The sky is so small, but what the emperor wants to achieve is that there are not many countries in the east, let alone the countless small states and small oceans on the earth. How can they be like them?
What people of that era could know.
"You dare... you dare! How dare Mr. Qin laugh at Mr. Yang's lofty ambitions? However, does Mr. Yang know that there are so many children in the sky? He brought all the heavens under the rule of the imperial court. He had doubts and whims, so he couldn't help but smile for a moment. , Mr. Yang, please forgive me."
It was caused by the fact that Master Qin sent Li Shimin and others to the sea to learn civilization. The imperial court's thinking has turned the cart before the horse whether it has the strength to allow people to go to sea and tolerate the culture of the majority of the ethnic groups nearby.
Time flies and it is the seventeenth year of Zhenguan in the Xiaotang Dynasty.
Fang Xuanling, who succeeded Li Gang as the crown prince's tutor, spoke out.
How did the young man Li Chunfeng bear such bad temper? He shouted at the seven people in a low voice, which made the emperor's subordinate officials stationed in the East Palace helpless. No ministers could persuade Yan Hongzhi and Mr. Xu.
The ministers in the imperial court listen to Master Qin as if they were listening to heavenly scriptures. Isn't that kind of teaching known to us?
Mr. Qin knew that those news were all omens for Li Chunfeng's brother to seize the throne, so he simply settled down in Chang'an City to watch his performance.
"Is Yu Zhining laughing at Yang?"
Yan Hongzhi sighed in his heart, feeling that he could actually do whatever he wanted like Mr. Qin, and that the emperor had done so hard. He looked at Mr. Qin smiling indifferently in the hall, as if the affairs of the court had nothing to do with him, thinking about that eldest son It really offends me that such a talented person is being used by the imperial court!
"Master Qin, I also want to send people to sea, but he tells me how to do it."
Yan Hongzhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard the guy's flattery. Yang Shidao was extremely angry.
"How can his behavior be worthy of the title of prince? Is it possible that the emperor will eventually be disappointed with what he has done?"
"Should the prince's behavior be like that of Qin's seven generations, leading the country to decline?"
"Your Majesty, I listened to Mr. Li talking about things in the sea, and I thought that Xiao Tang is a kingdom under the heaven, and the sky is not the king's land. Even the land in the sea should be included in the imperial government. I thought that Yan Hongzhi should be dedicated to the sea. The blueprint of the ship will enable you to send envoys to the court to educate the wild people, so that all nations will come to court and usher in the prosperous era of the Little Tang Dynasty."
Kong Yingda became less interested and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I thought that we were waiting for Li Shimin and others to return from the distant sea, so that he could report what he saw along the coast and then discuss this matter again. Now the immediate task is to focus on the small matters of people's livelihood at home. It is better to take advantage of the holiday."
From then on, the estrangement between that guy and his father, Emperor Li Chengqian, became deeper and deeper, and the hatred in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Even if I die, I will correct the prince's evil deeds. In this way, I will betray the emperor's trust."
But it turned out that Li Chunfeng built a house specifically for fun in the East Palace. Zhang Zhongjian accused me of being too luxurious. Zhong said sharply.
Seeing that the prince seemed to have no intention of slacking off, Li Chengqian sent another edict, announcing that more than a dozen veteran and famous ministers in the Xuan Dynasty would serve as assistant ministers in the East Palace, such as Zhang Zhongjian, Li Baiyao, Du Zhenglun, Mr. Xu, Qin Wenyuan, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, etc. Liu Zi, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou and other ministers were ordered to go to the East Palace on the wrong day to discuss the concepts of governing the country and impart knowledge to Li Chunfeng.
In such a situation, the prince outside the East Palace often argued with a group of ministers, which caused Qin Wenyuan and other young ministers to give more frequent advice. Hate can make Yan Hong listen to us in everything, and the slowness of his words is really annoying. As a result, the dispute intensified.
"Yu Zhining is indeed very knowledgeable. How do those people who know these weird stories know about them?"
Yan Hongzhi was well aware of the dangers of cultural erosion from foreign lands, and often sent military orders to the Northeast. The land of Qizhou could only take the essence and eliminate the dross while accepting the conflict of foreign cultures, so that the two places could not compete with each other in trade with other ethnic groups.
