Chapter 715 The Quiet Winter

Seeing her aggrieved look, Zhang Yang didn't know how to persuade her. The original intention of Zhang Gongjin's teaching was good, to let his daughter think about the regulations. As for what kind of impact this issue would have on her.

It all depends on how much meaning she can understand after listening to this story.

A three-way deal between bandits, individuals and the government.

How to protect your own rights and interests while driving the government.

The game between people's hearts is too early for my daughter.

I don’t want my daughter to accept this concept too early, but I’m also afraid that my daughter won’t understand it.

Xiao Qingqing cried and complained. When her father ignored her, she felt aggrieved and said, "I'm going to find my grandfather!"

After that, she left on Xiong Da.

Zhang Yang returned to his study and made a diagram. The metal casting on the bottom was the steam engine.

Looking at this chart, I feel worried.

From metal casting to springs, then from lathes, to steam engines, well! Congratulations, Datang's industrial level improvement curve turned out to be a leap.

It is said that Li Tai put a lot of effort into this steam engine and it took him three years to build it.

Lishan's industrial foundation is weak. Normally, the development of the technology tree should be linked to each other, but Lishan's industrial direction is somewhat strange.

One day, a whimsical person knows what Li Tai will create again.

Zhang Yang said to himself: "What evil have I done?"

Li Yue, who had just walked into the study, asked curiously: "Committed a sin? Did your husband commit a sin?"

"Well, I should strengthen the basics."

After looking at the study, Li Yue looked at the desk, where her daughter usually plays puzzles, "Where is the child?"

"Going to find your grandpa, Xiong Da is taking her with him."

Li Yue nodded and sat down, her expression a little more worried. After calming down, she whispered: "Are you too harsh on her?"

"Strictness is still necessary. One of us must be a strict father or a strict mother."

Both were parents for the first time. They looked at the chart in front of them and fell into deep thought.

Li Yue's idea is very simple. Let the best teachers teach her daughter and give her the best educational arrangements.

Whether it is Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin, or Ouyang Xun, they are all first-rate figures.

Zhang Yang's eyes were still looking at the picture in front of him, and he frowned and said: "At this point, it is already too late to recover."

"Is it because of the steam engine?"

Zhang Yang picked up the pen in his hand to draw a picture and explained: "The industrial foundation is like a tree. Do you think that with our metal casting as the foundation, do the branches and leaves seem too thin?"

Taking over her husband's pen, Li Yue also drew on this picture, "Then add a few more branches, so won't it be more dense?"

Aunt Yang held a letter, which was news from the palace. Seeing the couple sitting together in front of her, discussing something in a low voice, she did not dare to disturb them.

After sitting cross-legged for a long time, her legs were a little numb. Li Yue stood up and noticed her aunt standing beside her, "Aunt, what's wrong?"

Aunt Yang handed over the letter, "This is sent by the Crown Princess to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The couple had put a lot of effort into the prince's marriage. At that time, Su and the prince owed Li Shan this great favor.

Now that the prince and Mrs. Su are married, Mrs. Su has also become the crown princess. It is a good thing for lovers to finally get married.

After moving into Lishan, the two families stopped interacting with each other.

It was strange for the Crown Princess to send a letter at this time.

The daughter-in-law took the letter and was reading it. Zhang Yang also glanced sideways at the contents of the letter. Sure enough, it was still because of the Daming Palace incident.

After reading it, Li Yue put down the letter in his hand, "My father wants to build a palace in Longshouyuan, and all the ministers in the court are impeaching him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often has sleepless nights because of this matter, and he wants to ask us, Lishan, if there is anything we can do.

"

If you live in Lishan, you can ignore what is going on outside the window. Whether or not to build the Daming Palace is related to the national strength of the entire Tang Dynasty.

No one knows how much manpower and material resources Li Shimin spent building the Daming Palace.

Li Yue whispered: "When I was a child, when I lived in the palace, my father and grandfather were often worried about the terrain of the palace. The northern end of Chang'an City is low, and we saw that it was extremely hot in summer and very humid in autumn."

After Li Yuan ascended the throne in Chang'an, he did not put much effort into repairing the palace, and most of the human and financial resources were spent on quelling the chaos in the Central Plains.

In the early years of Zhenguan, the country was unstable. Before the fourth year of Zhenguan, life in the palace was still tight.

Now that life is finally becoming more comfortable, I am thinking about building a palace again, otherwise the emperor is a person who cannot save money.

Now that so many people in the court are admonishing His Majesty, Li Shimin seems to have no intention of giving up.

Zhang Yang didn't want to take a trip into this muddy water.

"Why don't you, husband, also give advice to your father?"

"Your father wants me to intervene in this matter, and then kill all the people who advise him. My advice now is equivalent to putting my head on the head."

Hearing this, Li Yue stopped and looked at the letter with a frown, not knowing what to do.

There are enough things at home, and there are such big things in the royal family.

The daughter-in-law's natal family is too big to manage with so many younger brothers and sisters, and they have to take care of the prince.

Zhang Yang spread out the paper and began to write a reply.

After some words of refusal, he also expressed his concern for the prince and the princess. As for the matter of Long Shou's original plan to build the palace, Li Yue also warned the prince not to participate unless necessary.

Don't interfere in politics if it is not necessary. It is natural for the prince to worry about state affairs. Lishan is also a relative of the royal family after all, and it is really taboo for relatives to interfere in politics.

After writing the first half, Li Yue felt that her husband's words were too harsh, so she took over the pen and wrote a few more paragraphs at the back, expressing Lishan's condolences and asking her aunt to bring some brown sugar to the palace.

There isn't much brown sugar at home, and since Li Tai stopped making white sugar, the production of brown sugar has also stopped.

Nowadays, everything used at home is also stock.

Half a month later, it started to snow again in Guanzhong. It was not completely bright in the morning and my brothers and sisters were still asleep.

Alone by the Huaqing Pool in front of the house, Zhang Yang took a deep breath of cold air and watched the heavy snow fall.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Reach out to catch a few falling snowflakes. After a while, Aunt Yang, who was shopping for things needed for home in Chang'an City, came back. She whispered: "Is there anything going on in the court today?"

The young officials were dismissed, including Master Cui Ren."

Then Aunt Yang told about Cui Renshi's origin. He was originally from the Cui family.

Zhang Yang lowered his body and looked silently at the thick dark clouds in the sky reflected in the water of Huaqing Pool.

At first, Gao Shilian left the court, Li Jing returned with a great victory, and Li Shimin completely established a foothold in the court.

The emperor then began to purge the court.

Counting this, this is the third time Li Shimin has purged the court since that time.

The air is cold and quiet, the wind is not strong today, and the snowflakes are falling calmly.

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly. The irony was that the emperor could completely use his absurd ideas to achieve his goals.

Does Li Shimin really want to build the Daming Palace at this juncture?

Did he really start to lose consciousness at the age of forty?

None of this is necessarily true. I felt strange when these words came out from the beginning. Based on my understanding of this Tian Khan, he would not be unreasonable and would not easily say that he wanted to build the Daming Palace.

It's like the emperor has laid a trap, and this trap is just for some people to get into.

Every scene in history always revolves around power and interests.

Zhang Yang personally experienced this scene in history. The vast and glorious Daming Palace was not completed during the Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin has never set foot in the Daming Palace, nor has he stayed in the Daming Palace for even a day or a few hours.

The irony is that Tian Khan could use this incident to eradicate the old-school forces in the court, and afterwards he could just say that I was confused and wanted to invite Cui Renshi and others back.

But when Cui Renshi and others learn about this outcome, will they come back?

These old guys who have lived like human beings will never come back to the court with a long face, they will just leave.

They still gained a good reputation for leaving the court by admonishing Khan Tian.

When everyone is admonishing one thing, more people will participate. When some fish that should be caught in the net come into the market, Li Shimin should stop.

The emperor would make mistakes, and Li Shimin would also be confused. Afterwards, the emperor could admit his mistakes, listen to advice and then change his mind.

As for the old ministers who were stripped of their official clothes for admonishing them, Li Shimin would also put down his dignity and send someone to invite them back, saying that he was too angry at the moment.

All the emperor's mistakes are excusable, let alone something as small as building the Daming Palace.

Some relatives of the Wude Dynasty and royal relatives of the clan were also sent out, including Prince Li Yuanyu, who was sent to Liangzhou in the last few days of the eleventh year of Zhenguan.

Taoist king Li Yuanqing was sent to Zhaozhou.

Prince Zheng and Li Yuanyi, who came to pay their respects at the New Year's Eve, were also sent to Luzhou in the middle of the river.

Not long after Li Daozong was granted the title of King of Jiangxia County, he was accused of embezzlement in the past two days. On this day, he was called to the ancestral temple to reflect on his crimes. He has not yet been punished.



In this way, Li Shimin used this incident to not only purge some old officials in the court, but also to rectify the clan's relatives.

Zhang Yang smiled scornfully, this emperor was still an emperor after all, and he was quite capable of centralizing power and reorganizing his relatives' clans.

Taking a deep breath of cold air, Li Shimin used to be suspicious and conceited, but now the emperor, who is over forty, is thoughtful, more sophisticated, and more capable of using power.

The game between the emperor and his ministers has always been very interesting.

So much so that in the morning of that day, Changsun Wuji did not refute the opinions of the Ministry of Rites.

This time, headed by Zhang Daan, together with Li Yifu, Li Chongyi, Zhang Dashu and others, they formulated a strategy to govern Goguryeo and finally finalized the regulations.

The emperor's shock also shocked Changsun Wuji.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel funny after taking a sip of hot tea.

Xiao Qingqing just came home last night. Li Yue led her sleepy daughter out of the room and said dissatisfied: "Grandpa Huang, just pamper you. Sooner or later, you will be spoiled."

Li Yuan loved his daughter too much. No wonder Li Yuan was old and loved his great-granddaughter very much.

Today's weather was cloudy and heavy, and the snow was falling heavily. The couple was jogging around the trail on the mountainside of Lishan Mountain.

In addition to the younger brother and sister doing morning exercises, the couple also goes for a run.

My daughter-in-law has been drinking decoctions since she was a child. She attaches great importance to physical health and exercise is essential.

After only running for a mile, she couldn't run anymore. She held on to a tree and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She listened to Aunt Yang telling what happened in Chang'an City. After she breathed calmly, she said: "Now let's talk about it."

There are only a few powerful clans in the coming dynasty, and even the prince of Hejian County will no longer participate in political affairs. Li Daozong, the prince of Jiangxia County who originally had military power among the clan generals, will also lose his military power as a result."

Zhang Yang handed her the water, nodded and said: "There is always a lot of excitement at the end of the year and the beginning of the year in Chang'an."

Li Yue took a sip of water, took a few deep breaths to slow down her breathing, and then said: "It seems that the Prince of Hejian County will intercede for the Prince of Jiangxia County."

They were all the four generals of the clan at the time. With Li Xiaogong's temperament of attaching great importance to love and justice, they would probably intercede for Li Daozong.

After recovering for a moment, Li Yue said again: "The only relatives who hold power in the court are Duke Zhao and my husband."

While walking home, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "What power do I have? How can I, a small minister of the Taifu Temple, have any power?"

Li Yue smiled and said: "Then the official position of Shangshu Province is still there?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yang sighed: "That is just a false title and has no actual power."

"That husband is still the Vice Minister of Zhongshu Province."

"That is also false and cannot be taken to be true."

"Any chancellor of the Zhongshu Province is a false title. The Zhongshu Province is the seat of power in the court. Those who can enter the Zhongshu Province and rank as a minister are those who strive to get a foothold in the affairs of the Zhongshu Province."

Zhang Yang looked a little melancholy with his hands in his hands.

As expected by the wife, the two came back from their morning run and saw Li Xiaogong already sitting at the gate of the mountain.

Li Yue signaled that she should go back first, as she still had to teach her younger brothers and sisters.

Seeing Li Xiaogong sitting cross-legged, with his back straight and his hands on his knees, he looked down the mountain solemnly.

"Prince Hejian seems to be in a bad mood. Is he tired of getting up?"

Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yang, from the time I first met you until now, what do you think of me as a person?"

"The prince of Hejian County is very loyal."

"I have always been upright. Who among the heroes who were famous all over the world at that time didn't know that I value love and justice." Li Xiaogong sighed sadly again, "But now I heard that Li Daozong was taken into the ancestral temple by your majesty. It seems that he will be questioned."

Zhang Yang stood aside with his hands folded and listened. This winter was particularly quiet. At this time last year, he was still bargaining with Li Zhengzao.

This winter there is nothing going on in Lishan, it is very quiet, which is good, no matter how the wind blows in the morning.

Li Xiaogong whispered: "There is news from home, saying that what Li Daozong committed this time is not big or small. If His Majesty wants to punish him severely, it will be a fortune for him not to be exiled. I advised him at the beginning

I asked him to give up military power as soon as possible, even if he claimed to be ill and left the army, he just couldn't listen to the advice."

Zhang Yang sighed: "To be honest with Prince Hejian, my family also has to watch what happens in the palace. You see, there are so many younger brothers and sisters in the family. If anything happens to the prince, I have to watch. I also have to pay attention to the weight loss of His Highness King Wei."

, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is about to get married, and Princess Gaoyang almost lights old Master Kong Yingda’s beard every time she returns to Chang’an City. Your Majesty’s large family..."

After a pause, Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "We all don't have to worry about it."
