Chapter 425 Only heroes live under the trees in the village
The books in the library are mostly books with collectible value.
Zhang Yang searched for a long time before he found an explanation of the work examination. The book contained some records about the forging process of ironware. Even if there was, it was only mentioned in two or three strokes, and the forging method was not described in detail at all.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the pen and ink Li Ke had brought lying on the table.
Seeing him standing motionless, even though he was young, he didn't know much about manners, and he was wearing a solemn look unique to those in the military.
It seems that he is quite sincere. As an adult, he does not help children. If his wife finds out about this, she might be nagging him.
"Teacher, everything is ready."
Zhang Yang sat down cross-legged, "First of all, I haven't agreed to be your teacher yet, so don't call me teacher this time."
"Understood."
Zhang Yang first recalled the military training scenes when he was a student, and then wrote down the specific steps.
Seeing that Li Ke was standing outside the door like a guard, Zhang Yang put down his pen and said, "I'll write this now. Your Highness, the King of Shu, will lead a group of guards to kill before practicing for a while to see if it will be effective."
"Here!" Li Ke took it with both hands.
Seeing his serious look, Zhang Yang said: "There is no need to be so respectful to me. You can just call me brother-in-law like the King of Jin and King Wei."
"Brother-in-law!" Li Ke said loudly again.
There were many books in the package. Zhang Yang lifted it with both hands and put it on his shoulders, "Then I'll take my leave first."
Li Ke was still standing there, with the rice paper in his hand filled with crooked characters.
I have to say that this brother-in-law’s calligraphy is really unflattering.
Then he frowned and looked at the content, and said to himself: "This is not the art of war."
Li Ke's mood was very complicated, and he was a little disappointed.
Returning to his mother's palace, he talked about Zangku's meeting with Zhang Yang.
"Concubine, he doesn't let his children call him teacher, and he doesn't accept disciples. He says he can call him brother-in-law just like Prince Jin and others."
Concubine Yang attaches great importance to her half-grown child. Ever since Ke'er became sensible, she has always been weaker than other children in the palace. She has been living in the army since she was ten years old and comes back to visit often.
Now that Li Ke is thirteen years old, it's time to find a right path for him.
He will be an adult in three years.
It doesn't matter if he is weaker than other children in the palace, as long as the child grows up safely, that's fine.
Concubine Yang whispered: "It's good to call him brother-in-law. It's better than being a teacher."
Li Ke took out a roll of paper and said, "Besides, what my brother-in-law wrote on the paper is not the art of war at all. I can't understand the use of it at all."
Her son thought about marching and fighting every day, which was what Concubine Yang was worried about.
Taking the piece of paper, Concubine Yang also read it carefully, "It certainly doesn't look like the art of war."
Li Ke asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law doesn't want to teach me at all."
Concubine Yang patiently said: "Everyone has their own skills. I heard that Zhang Yang's level of math skills is very high. Even the current Taoist priest Li Chunfeng can't tell the difference. Princess Runan's math skills were taught by him."
.”
"Do you want your child to learn mathematics from your brother-in-law?"
"You don't have to." Concubine Yang whispered, "Just follow Zhang Yang's instructions."
"The child understands and will return to the army."
Concubine Yang nodded slightly, it was best for Ke'er to be sensible. As his mother-in-law, she was a survivor of the former Sui Dynasty. When she looked around, her relatives from that time were no longer there.
Fortunately, Your Majesty treats yourself well and treats Ke'er well.
Concubine Yang lowered her head and thought, and then said to the palace maid beside her: "Don't let this matter spread, and don't disturb the princess and the Marquis of Lishan County."
The palace maid nodded and replied: "Understood."
Zhang Yang put a package of books at home and had lunch with his wife, "I plan to send a group of civil servants from the Foreign Affairs Academy to help Da'an."
Li Yue ate her meal slowly, "That's good. The money my husband ordered was sent out early this morning and is on the way."
While eating his meal, he noticed his wife's strange gaze. Zhang Yang quickly put down the bowl and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Yue frowned and said, "I heard that my husband will immediately stand up to oppose any decision my father makes recently?"
It's not surprising that the daughter-in-law is well-informed. The two aunts are the masters of everything in Chang'an City.
"I think some of your father's decisions are wrong. Now that we have finally pacified the Western Regions and defeated Tubo, now we want to worship our ancestors and tell the world, and comfort our ancestors to heaven? In fact, these things are only half done. Your father
It’s a rush for quick success.”
"In the past, when my husband dealt with those civil servants, my father could take care of them." At this point, Li Yue sighed again: "I thought that my husband would be more loyal to my father, but I didn't expect that in recent days... my husband has offended the military commanders in the court.
If you offend a civil servant, you will also offend your father."
Somewhat worried, Li Yue whispered: "Everyone who can be offended has been offended. I'm afraid our family will have no helpers in the future."
After finishing the food in the bowl, seeing her confused look, Zhang Yang said again: "Yes, Prince Hejian."
Li Yue supported her chin with one hand, "The prince of Hejian County no longer has military power in his hands, and his prestige in the army is no longer what it used to be. Otherwise, how could he ask General Cheng Yaojin to help with the escort of cotton, let alone the one with better prospects?"
Part of the cotton molecule was exchanged with the braised pork molecule in General Cheng’s home.”
Auntie quickly cleared away the bowls, while Xiao Wu finished his meal and played takraw ball with the little bear.
My wife's words are not unreasonable. She can always discover the problem from some unexpected angles.
With the current status of the Hejian County King, it is obviously not enough to have enough soldiers and horses to escort the cotton.
After joining forces with General Cheng Yaojin, the manpower was sufficient.
Zhang Yang put his hands in his hands and said: "There is also Mr. Zheng."
Li Yue added: "Zheng Gong has always been a loner, and there are rumors that your husband will be the second Wei Zheng, or even worse than him."
"It turns out that the outside world praises me so highly."
Li Yue reached out and hit her husband on the shoulder, "You're still joking."
Bearing his wife's somewhat weak fist, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "We also have an entire Diplomatic Academy and the Ministry of Rites."
"It has only been two years since the establishment of the Foreign Affairs Academy. Although it has already grown in size, in the eyes of many ministers in the DPRK, the officials of the Foreign Affairs Academy are still inferior to the six other ministers and ministers. After all, it is an external government office."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Yang put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Daughter-in-law, do you know what my biggest support is?"
Li Yue blinked first, then whispered: "What is it?"
"As long as I am more isolated in the DPRK and have no cliques, that will be the basis for our family's self-protection. If I hold great power in one hand, and have thousands of family properties, and hold power in one hand and money in the other, with you
With my father’s vicious character, what will he think of me?”
Li Yue's worried brows became much relieved now, "Father will definitely try his best to deal with my husband, or make him die as soon as possible."
"The teacher said that no matter what happens in the future, he will never hold military power in this life. Judging from your father's character, the teacher is a truly far-sighted person. Fortunately, he understood it early, otherwise he would be afraid of making a mistake and regretting it for eternity."
"Then what if we are dealt with by others?"
"We are threatening Lishan's family property. If your father doesn't help, I will burn down our factory."
Little Bear pushed the sepak takraw ball outside the yard, and Xiao Wu quickly ran out to pick it up.
Li Yue looked serious, "If someone really wants to attack our house, use explosives to blow up their house."
After knowing the purpose of gunpowder and mastering how to use it, my daughter-in-law's imagination became more and more enriched. She was not satisfied with blowing up houses at first, but now she can think of using gunpowder to blow up people.
Well...it's indeed quite an improvement.
The restructuring of the Diplomatic Academy also officially began, with Zhang Elephant presiding over this matter.
Originally, the Diplomatic Academy used to have its own staff, but now it is different and the staff needs to be subdivided.
The three ministers still followed the original method.
Xu Jingzong, Zhang Xiangxiang, and Zhang Dashu are each responsible for their own affairs.
Intelligence, central dispatch, translation and classification analysis situation.
These are what the Foreign Affairs Council has to do.
Xu Xiaode also left the East Palace. Li Chengqian felt that the East Palace was empty. Accompanied by Zhao Jie, he often went out for a walk.
At this moment, many people gathered at the entrance of the Diplomatic Academy, and groups of officials were entering in batches in order.
Li Chengqian looked at this scene and thought to himself, in fact, the affairs of the Foreign Affairs Academy could be completed if the Sixth Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China provided some manpower.
Since the establishment of the Foreign Affairs Council, it has made many achievements.
At the beginning, Zhang Yang was in a dilapidated Ministry of Rites, but with the passage of time, the current Ministry of Rites is no worse than the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War among the six ministries.
The Foreign Affairs Council's judgment of the source of the news and the situation is very accurate, which is also something that the emperor valued.
After taking another look, Li Chengqian walked to the other side of Zhuque Street.
According to Zhang Yang's plan, only by completing the matter can his father dispel his doubts.
At this time, he apologized to Su Dan and reconciled the prince and the civil servants. In the eyes of outsiders, this was a beautiful talk and could reflect the prince's apologies and open-mindedness.
It can even make my father feel that he only visits the Su family because of matters related to the opening of the official school.
Arriving at the door of Su Gan's mansion, Li Chengqian stood outside the door for a long time, recalling Zhang Yang's original instructions again in his mind.
"Do not promise Su Quan any benefits, let alone arrange a position for him in the court. Even if his daughter can become the Crown Princess, Your Majesty will be more at ease when the Crown Princess's natal family is further away from the court."
You must not seek personal gain for Su Dan just because his daughter became the crown princess.
This is a taboo.
Li Chengqian knew his father's temperament very well. Even if Su became the Crown Princess, she would be in danger of being replaced by her father at any time. If he wanted to marry her, there would be many difficulties and obstacles along the way.
Su Dan knew that the prince was coming in person and hurried to greet him.
The prince and the secretary, the young eunuch, saluted each other, and all this was seen by passers-by on the street.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Chengqian followed Su Dan into the mansion.
At this point, nothing outside the door matters.
Maybe my father will know the news in less than half an hour.
Following Su Quan as he walked in the mansion, heading towards the backyard, he explained: "Your Highness, my daughter is in the courtyard."
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Young Supervisor Su, you and I both owe Zhang Yang a favor from now on."
"I have nothing to ask for but this daughter."
"I will treat her well."
Su Dan saluted again and walked away alone.
Gathering up the courage, Li Chengqian walked into the courtyard. The other person seemed to have known that he was coming and was already standing in the backyard watching.
After the summer harvest, the rice has been planted, and Lishan is busy again. There is endless construction in this small world.
Hassan on the top of the mountain at this moment.
The prince worked hard for love, just at the age when young love first appeared.
Li Yue listened to Aunt Wang's story, "What happened next?"
Aunt Wang replied: "I asked the maids in the Su family's courtyard, and they said that the prince and the Su family looked at each other in silence. After standing there for half an hour, the prince left."
Zhang Yang was carrying bricks and stones to build the house, and felt helpless when he heard this.
Why did this prince just go to someone's house and leave without saying a word?
This green emotion is a bit too green.
Seeing that Li Tai and Ni were still distracted, Zhang Yang said again: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei."
Li Tai came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yang pointed to a pool of mud on the ground that had been made extremely thin, "Can't you be more careful?"
Li Tai yawned, took a deep breath and cheered up, "Brother-in-law, did the prince really do this?"
"Um."
"Doesn't that mean we are getting married?"
"Maybe. Is His Royal Highness the King of Wei going to interfere with other people's marriages?"
"Oh, how could I interfere with other people's marriages? This is not what a hero would do." Li Tai came over with a bucket of mud in his dirty fat hands, "Besides, the prince is the crown prince because he has little affection for his children.
How can it be the behavior of a man to be manipulated?"
"I think what His Highness King Wei said is a fallacy."
"How is it a fallacy?"
"Not all heroes can give up their love for their children. A true hero needs experience to be heroic."
Halfway through the words, Zhang Yang thought about the reason why Li Tai would talk about such things, "Your Highness, King Wei, have you heard stories about rangers again recently?"
"Why doesn't my father like the knight-errant style?"
"Why don't you ask your father?"
"Even if I ask, my father won't tell me."
Of course the emperor would not tell Li Tai the reason for such a thing. Does Li Shimin want to tell Li Tai that rangers can also be a factor in social unrest?
Zhang Yang said with emotion: "I think most of the heroes who walk in the green forest can put down their weapons, retreat to the fields, see the world, understand the dangers of people's hearts, and fulfill their lifelong long-cherished wish, ending up under the trees at the head of the village."
"Well, this is the ending that a hero should have. Punishing the wicked, punishing the evil and promoting the good is just a process after all. Only when you step out of the beating and killing, hold your child and look back at the green years, can you
The biggest gain."
"Then he becomes an ordinary person, right?"
"Everyone in this world has one nose. Who has two ears that is special? They are all the same people. Heroes are also ordinary people. Can't they talk to the old man under the tree in the village?"
It is very troublesome to reason with rebellious children, especially at Li Tai's age, when he is at the peak of his rebellious period.
Zhang Yang rolled up his sleeves and continued to argue with him.
