"In fact, since Tubo was recaptured by Songtsen Gampo, even if civil strife breaks out in Tubo, he is still the backbone of Tubo, and his appeal and status will not be affected too much."
Listening to what he said, Li Shimin folded his hands on his chest and turned his back, unwilling to listen.
"But it will be different if he comes to Chang'an City. Although Lu Dongzan is the Prime Minister of Tubo, his cohesion is always not as good as Songtsan Gampo. There has been civil strife in Tubo, and now is the best time.
"
Li Tai lowered his head and straightened his clothes while listening to his brother-in-law chattering.
Even in the evening, the weather is still very hot.
Li Tai couldn't bear it for a long time, his back was wet, and he was about to jump into the river to take a good wash and cool down for a long time.
The best place to enjoy the shade was given to the emperor, and grandpa Huang was also enjoying the shade and enjoying himself under the shade of the trees.
The location of the brother-in-law is not a good one, but it can provide some comfort and coolness under the tree.
Li Tai took a look at the situation and sat next to Uncle Wang Hejian. Listening to his noisy snoring, he felt a little chilled.
As for Li Chengqian, he was also sweating profusely, which made Li Tai feel much more comfortable.
There were six people in the group, and in the end only Zhang Yang was interested in fishing.
The other few people put down their fishing rods and never picked them up again.
Putting a palm-sized crucian carp into the fish basket, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The fish in this season are the fattest. It would be a pity to miss it."
Li Chengqian wiped away the sweat that was almost flowing down to his eyebrows and did not answer.
Seeing his face and heavy breathing, Zhang Yang handed him a water bag and said, "Your Highness, drink some water, but don't get dehydrated."
Li Chengqian took a sip of water and felt more comfortable.
"Chengqian's health has been weak since he was a child, so he shouldn't have come."
Hearing his father's words, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "Father, I have been exercising over the years and my body has gotten much better. This is what Lu Jianzheng from the Imperial Medical Office said. He also said that Zhang Yang's physical fitness
The law works."
Li Shimin answered again.
Zhang Yang scratched his head in distress, "This big family is really unique."
I originally thought about taking them out for activities, and the family also needs to do activities in person. The purpose is also to hope that their family can be more harmonious.
Now it seems that His Majesty is reticent and indifferent, and Li Yuan is also reticent and indifferent to his own son.
Li Xiaogong, on the other hand, ignored the matter and ignored it.
Li Tai and Li Chengqian also didn't deal with them.
What kind of combination is this family?
Looking at the few fish in the fish basket, Zhang Yang said again: "It seems that you are not interested in fishing, so just go to my house for dinner and eat fish today."
Li Yuan finally stood up, "I don't know how Xiao Qingqing is doing these days. I miss her."
We led a large family group through the village paths and headed towards Lishan Mountain.
Zhang Yang led the way with his hands folded, "Your Majesty, please give some thought to the suggestion I just made."
"When Songtsen Gampo arrives in Chang'an City, it will be too late for me to punish you, so don't discuss your plans for Tibet now."
Tian Khan holds a grudge and is also petty.
All forbearing emperors are like this.
When we walked to Lishan Mountain, the two aunts had already prepared meals, and Zhang Yang personally cooked two bowls of fish soup and two pots of fried fish.
The Supreme Emperor likes Qingqing, his great-granddaughter, very much. If Li Yuan protects her, Li Shimin will be unable to do anything to her in the future.
He thought that his daughter would have a terrible future, and Zhang Yang was even more worried about the whole family.
"As the saying goes, everything will be prosperous when the family is harmonious. I hope your father and his family can live in harmony. When fishing by the Weishui River, they would rather sit by the river and not talk."
Li Yue helped clean up, with a sad look on her face, "Father and Grandpa Huang have always been like this. Neither of them obeys the other. Now Grandpa Huang only thinks about living happily in the village, while Father is concerned about state affairs. Even if it is
When I spent summer vacation in Lishan, I would read memorials late into the night."
"If I didn't know that Grandpa Huang would also go, my father wouldn't be willing to go fishing."
Zhang Yang took a sip of fish soup, looked back at the seemingly happy family, and asked in a low voice: "Since your father is willing to give face, this family is not hopeless."
"There is also Qingque. Auntie said that these days he hangs out with the blacksmiths all day long and studies the forging of iron every day. It is also because of his husband. There is no result in the matter of steam pressure. How can Qingque think of anything else?
"
Li Yue poured the fish soup into a bowl, "There is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The expenses in the court are tight, and he is also worried about the opening of the official school. After my father came to escape the summer, everything in the court was arranged by the East Palace, so there was no leisure."
"
"As per my husband's arrangement, if the emperor agrees to go, the prince will follow."
Zhang Yang was holding a bowl of fish head soup and said, "Why don't I, my brother-in-law, worry about it? For such a big family, we have to take care of both the old and the young."
Smiling softly, Li Yue served the dishes to the table with a smile on her face.
In front of the main house in Lishan, there was a curtain of water in front of him. Li Zhi increased the water flow to make the waterwheel rotate faster. The water flow from the eaves was also larger, and there was a windmill blowing.
It doesn't look like summer at all under the eaves. The little bear is standing, catching the water flowing from the eaves with his mouth.
Zhang Yang gave it a grilled fish, but it refused to drink the water.
The dining table is divided into two tables, one for adults and one for children.
The children's table was noisy, but the adults' table was very quiet. The atmosphere was so weird that it made you want to dig your toes into the ground.
Zhang Yang secretly vowed in his heart that he would never arrange such a thankless task again.
The conflict between this big family is too great.
Everyone has knots in their hearts.
The prince came in a hurry, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Western Region."
Li Yuan continued to eat, not caring about this urgent report.
Li Tai and Li Xiaogong also enjoyed their meals.
Only Li Chengqian stopped. Li Shimin put down his bowl and quickly picked up the emergency report and read it. He nodded and said "hmm".
After chewing two mouthfuls of meat, he took a sip of wine and said, "This Pei Xingjian is really a talented person."
"He settled all the people in the Western Region into households, collected taxes, and rebuilt the four towns of Anxi. Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui each brought five hundred soldiers and horses into the Western Turkic territory. Yehu Khan died of a sudden illness, and Nishu Khan fled to the west unknown.
Where to go.”
"This Pei Xingjian supported a son of Yehu Khan. Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance fought in the Western Turks. The battle determined the situation in the Tianshan Mountains. Xue Rengui led 500 soldiers and defeated the three major tribes of the Western Turks. Five thousand
All the troops and horses surrendered, Wang Xuance cut off their retreat, and all the countries in the Western Regions and Tiele tribes that had originally rebelled surrendered."
Li Shimin stared at Zhang Yang, "In addition to Pei Xingjian, Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui are also extremely brave. They have only been in the Western Turks for less than two months, and they helped me calm down the situation in the Western Turks and pacify the Tianshan Mountains."
Zhang Yang took a sip of the fish soup and said, "It made His Majesty laugh."
The Diplomatic Academy is really full of talents, including Di Zhisun, who runs the Hexi Corridor, Pei Xingjian, the governor of the Western Regions, and Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance, two brave and resourceful people. Li Shimin's eyes were smiling, and he was looking forward to the generals more and more eagerly.
One day he hanged himself in front of Chengtian Gate.
"Father, this Xue Rengui has been heard by his sons and ministers. It is said that he is from Hedong together with Pei Xingjian. However, this Xue Rengui failed the imperial examination twice. The Foreign Affairs Council took him in."
Facing Li Shimin's gaze, Zhang Yang finished the fish soup in the bowl and said, "Your Majesty also knows that our Diplomatic Academy has always been short of people. Any scholar who has passed the imperial examination will be accepted as long as he is talented and knowledgeable. The same is true for Xue Rengui. Unintentionally
If you take one person in, you will find a treasure."
"You have indeed found a treasure. Your vision is better than Gao Shilian."
"Your Majesty is joking, it's just luck."
Li Shimin put down the memorial, "The memorial said that now they have suppressed the civil strife in the Western Turks, and asked Ashinadur to take Perus, Prince of Persia, to Persia to prepare for the big cannibal, so he also brought 10,000 stones with him.
Food, and five thousand remaining soldiers from the Western Regions."
"You said that Persia is in danger. The Western Regions and the Western Turks have been pacified, and the cannibals may not be able to eat Persia."
There was not enough food on the children's table, so Zhang Yang gave Li Lizhi the uneaten Zhenguan vegetables and a duck with scallion oil on the table and asked her to feed them to the children.
Facing the dinner in front of him, Zhang Yang put his hands under the table and hid them in his sleeves, "I don't know what the situation is, but even with the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Western Turks and Ashinadur, they may not be able to stop the big attack.
cannibal."
"How can I see it?"
"Although Muhammad has passed away, his heirs are still there. The power structure of Dashi has not changed, and the power transition has been completed in the past two years. The power system in the West is different from that in the Central Plains."
"The Great Eaters began to grow only after they centralized their power. The world was in a warm season. Not only the Central Plains had good harvests year after year, but also other places west of the Central Plains. The Great Eaters had the right time, place and people. As far as I know, the person in charge of the Great Eaters now should be
His two sons-in-law, it seems that the cannibals not only did not decline because of Muhammad's death, but actually became stronger."
It was very difficult to talk to Li Shimin about the changes in the world's climate, and Zhang Yang didn't know how to explain it. The fate of dynasties is often related to climate. Natural disasters are the causes of the rise and fall of dynasties, and man-made disasters are the root cause.
This is the disadvantage of backward productivity. Relying solely on the food grown on the land is too single and meager.
It is a difficult problem that has existed for thousands of years.
"Then are you letting Ashinadur die?"
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "I don't think Persia's survival matters much. What I need is time. To be honest, I don't pay attention to cannibalism. Their fighting is barbaric and has no wisdom."
"The memorial also said that Pei Xingjian met the clan member with the ninth surname of Zhaowu. He is now in the Anxi Protectorate. Pei Xingjian plans to use his connections to pass on the news and ask Tianzhu to bring back the businessman named Xuanzang."
Li Shimin had developed the habit of drinking tea after meals. He took the tea from the prince and said: "This monk spends all his time cheating and cheating. He often talks about the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty to the people in the Western Regions."
Monk Xuanzang has almost become the propaganda ambassador of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.
If you think about it carefully, Li Shimin was revered as the Khan of Heaven, and the reputation of the Tang Dynasty was known to all the barbarians, and even other countries congratulated him.
As long as Xuanzang was from the Tang Dynasty, he would have confidence.
No one dared to touch him easily.
It was said that he was going to Tianzhu to obtain scriptures, and he was responsible for the prosperity of Buddhism. In the past, monk Bopo from Tianzhu trekked from Tianzhu to the Western Regions, and had already left a reputation, and even left a resounding reputation in the Dunhuang Taoist Temple.
This Tianzhu monk wanted to achieve Xuanzang, but Xuanzang also insisted on obtaining scriptures.
Li Yuan left early, Li Tai wanted to accompany Grandpa Huang, and Li Xiaogong also left.
The only people left in front of me were Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, father and son.
"I want Xuanzang to return to the secular world after he returns to the Tang Dynasty."
"I think he will resist."
"I don't think so."
Zhang Yang didn't want to say anymore. It was not a good thing to influence the emperor's decision, so just let the emperor do it. As for the future, he would make other plans.
Li Shimin was a little reluctant to leave the environment here. This was the real summer resort.
I imagined that even if he didn't hang himself in front of Chengtian Gate, it would be better to die in the heat on Lishan Mountain.
The idea was shattered, and now I saw how hot this kid was.
When leaving, Li Shimin was more determined to hang him in front of Chengtian Gate.
After seeing off the emperor's family, Zhang Yang felt relieved and soaked in Huaqing Pool, thinking about how to deal with Songtsen Gampo.
Li Yue washed the peaches and threw them into Huaqing Pool.
Zhang Yang caught it with one hand, ate it silently and lay down by the pool.
She was sewing cloth shoes with a happy face, "I can no longer wear the shoes at home, and the children are getting older day by day."
Zhang Yang climbed ashore and simply sat on the edge of the pool, with one foot on the bank and the other foot still soaking in the pool.
The night breeze was still a bit chilly, so Li Yue put on her husband's coat, rolled up her skirt and squatted down next to her husband, "Does Qingque like eating tea eggs?"
"Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"The queen mother said that the girl from the Yan family was very nice, but Qingque suddenly asked if the girl liked tea eggs."
"He really likes tea eggs."
Zhang Yang said, stood up and gave her a gentle push on the back.
Li Yue lost her balance and swayed for a long time. Finally, she lost her balance and fell into the Huaqing Pool.
She fluttered in a panic, and finally calmed down after a while, looking at her husband with shame and anger.
Zhang Yang walked into the pool, and the couple looked at each other in the pool for a long time.
"You have to get used to it. From now on we won't do anything, just soak in the pool and look up at the stars."
Li Yue pursed her lips and blushed without speaking for a long time. Fortunately, the children had already fallen asleep.
Her clothes were thin, but now they were wet in the pool. She maintained her dignity and elegance, pushed her messy long hair to her back, and then walked forward in silence with a straight face.
Zhang Yang swam forward to the shore, "Is it time to think about it?"
"Don't consider it!" Li Yue's words were firm and her steps were even firmer.
"Life should have more fun."
Zhang Yang swam in the pool to keep up with her.
Li Yue protected her clothes with both hands, "That can't be... outside here."
She mustered up the courage to say this, and then said angrily: "Where do husbands get their weird habits from?"
Watching his wife walk into the room and slam the door shut, Zhang Yang swam back again and splashed in the water.
After swimming for half an hour, I finally landed.
Just when I was about to go back to the house to change my clothes and go to sleep, I saw that the door was already closed and locked.
I saw clean clothes that needed to be put on aside.
Looks like I’m going to sleep alone tonight again…
