Chapter 74 He comes to collect food, and he buys knives
Li Junxian saluted Cheng Yaojin and said, "Meet General Cheng."
"Um."
Cheng Yaojin responded and said: "Your Majesty summoned someone."
Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty is already waiting at the Manlu Hall. General, please invite me."
Cheng Yaojin glanced at the Tubo envoy and the Tuyuhun envoy again, and then walked into Chengtian Gate.
The two of them were left looking at each other in shock, and stood in front of the door for a while before they turned and left.
An hour later, Cheng Yaojin walked out of the palace gate.
From the look on Cheng Yaojin's face, it seemed that he was not having a pleasant conversation with His Majesty.
Walking along Zhuque Street, Cheng Yaojin saw his son Cheng Chumo sitting in front of his home.
Cheng Chumo looked up at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly, raised his foot and kicked Cheng Chumo aside.
Then he walked into the house swaggeringly, spitting on the way, and entered the house.
Pedestrians passing by were stunned at this scene.
Cheng Chumo fell to the ground as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet, he was very confused at the moment.
Passers-by were also dumbfounded.
Everyone said that Cheng Yaojin's family was tough and tough, but he didn't expect that his parenting style was so rough.
Cheng Chumo was originally not very alert, so he kicked the child silly like this, and the neighbors also gave Cheng Chumo sympathetic looks.
My heart told me not to join the Cheng family when I was reincarnated.
Li Shimin had just finished meeting Cheng Yaojin and was looking at the report from the border gate.
The report talks about the current war situation between Tuyuhun and Tubo.
Songtsan cadres and 20,000 Tibetan people were about to break into the hinterland of Tuyuhun.
I didn't expect this Tuyuhun to be so unwilling to fight.
I remember Zhang Yang said at the beginning that Songtsen Gampo would become a headache for Datang in the future.
Li Shimin put down the book in his hand and asked Li Junxian, "What is Zhang Yang doing these days?"
Li Junxian said: "Today, he just left the city."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, stood up and changed his clothes.
Yuan Tiangang is still studying eggs these days.
Li Chunfeng, who was also in Qintian Prison, was very worried.
Watching a cooked egg enter the pot, Yuan Tiangang looked strange.
A good person seems to be going crazy.
If you don't understand this, I'm afraid Yuan Tiangang's Taoist mind will be confused.
No matter how much I tried to persuade him, it was useless. I kept doing this experiment with cooked eggs all day long.
The eunuchs and guards in the nearest palace would stay away from Qin Tian Jian whenever they passed by.
I was afraid that Yuan Tiangang would suddenly go crazy.
"Hehehehe..."
Yuan Tiangang looked at the cooked eggs and laughed again.
Li Chunfeng shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Yang was digging in the snow outside the city. The snow in Chang'an City was very heavy, and the snow at home was only a thin layer, so he couldn't even build a snowman.
If you don't build a snowman in winter, it will be a boring winter.
Li Shimin and Li Junxian were walking outside the city.
After the snow stopped, it was very cold outside.
gusts of cold wind blew by, making people shudder.
Li Junxian whispered: "Zhang Yang is right in front."
Seeing Zhang Yang digging snow outside the city, Li Shimin stepped forward and asked curiously: "What are you digging for?"
Zhang Yang turned around and saw Li Shimin, wondering why this old black-faced man was here again.
Li Shimin added: "I saw you bought two sheep a few days ago. Do you like eating mutton very much?"
Zhang Yang put the shoveled snow on the cart, "It's okay."
Li Shimin gave Li Junxian a look.
Li Junxian turned and left.
Soon he brought two slaughtered sheep.
The sheep is not very big, probably a few months old.
The sheep was still steaming, so it must have been freshly killed.
Li Shimin said with a smile on his face: "Give you two sheep."
Zhang Yang looked at the sheep, then looked at the other person's expression, "Are you no longer selling vegetables, but wholesale mutton?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin actually smiled.
Zhang Yang said: "I can't take your things for free. There are some tea leaves left here, so I will give them to you first. I also have a pair of gloves here to give to you."
Naturally, Li Shimin had no use for the magical effects of tea.
Chao Zhong has been developing tea for so long but couldn't make it well. I didn't expect that this guy still has it in his hands.
Taking the tea leaves, Li Shimin smelled them carefully. This was the smell that he hadn't seen for a long time.
And this glove looks rough in workmanship.
But it is also very warm when worn on the hand.
Feeling the warmth of the gloves, it seems that you don’t have to worry about writing for too long and causing joint pain from cold hands.
Li Shimin admired Zhang Yang more and more.
Zhang Yang placed the two slaughtered lambs on the snowdrift of the cart.
Seeing him shoveling the snow diligently again, Li Shimin whispered: "Now that Tuyuhun and Tubo envoys have come to Chang'an, which side do you think the court should help?"
It has been some time since the envoys from the two countries came to Chang'an.
There are more and more foreign envoys coming to Chang'an these days.
It is said that all the nations of the Tang Dynasty came to court.
But right now it doesn’t look like there are that many.
Today's Tang Dynasty has not yet reached the stage where all nations can come to the imperial court.
Zhang Yang frowned, "There's something I can't figure out."
"What can't you figure out?"
Zhang Yang's hands were red from shoveling the snow so hard, but he didn't feel the cold.
Zhang Yang rested for a while and said, "You said that the war outside the customs was going well, why did you want to intervene?"
"you mean……"
Li Shimin thought of something, but was not sure.
Zhang Yang said: "I think we should let them fight well. I think war is so scary. Why do we have to send troops to help them? It will cost people's lives."
"hiss……"
Li Shimin took a breath of cold air, "But now that His Majesty is the Khan of Heaven, he cannot help but express his position."
Now that the world has been settled, it is best for Li Shimin to live well with the people, and he will not send troops if he can.
Zhang Yang's words are not a problem if you think about it carefully.
But if you don't help anyone, that's not what a gentleman does.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "I heard a story before. There was a guy who knew that war was coming, so he started to stockpile grain. His neighbor saved money and bought a knife. From then on, he became his neighbor's granary.
"
After saying that, Zhang Yang left with a cart of snow and two lambs.
Li Shimin still stood there thinking about Zhang Yang's little story.
Collect food and buy knives?
Those who store grain become the granary for those who buy knives.
After thinking for a while, Li Shimin walked back to the return road.
After returning to the palace, Li Shimin summoned Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, and Changsun Wuji.
No one knows what His Majesty said to them today.
However, after this summons, both the DPRK and China remained silent about the Tuyuhun war.
The courtiers maintained a high degree of unity in strategy.
This made Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan and Tuyuhun's envoys even more confused.
The corner of Dongshi Street in Chang'an City.
Zhang Yang transported the snow to his home.
The couple started building a snowman.
Compared with Zhang Yang’s great joy when he was building a snowman.
Li Yue was more attentive, her face turned red from the cold.
Half an hour later the two snowmen were standing in the yard.
Stones are used for the snowman's eyes, and branches are used for the snowman's arms and nose.
