Li Shimin finally let go of Xiao An. This child was very clean, unlike other children with runny noses and sloppy noses.
When Li Xiang was a child, he was not as spirited and energetic as this child.
"Lishan is really a good place to raise people."
Li Shimin stroked his beard and said: "There is a rumor that a woman is at the right age to give birth to a child when she is twenty. This idea spread from Lishan Mountain."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "This is our rule in Lishan. After turning sixteen, men and women cannot start a family until they are twenty."
"Some people say that Lishan is spreading rumors that girls can only get married when they are twenty years old, and there is a lot of trouble in various towns and counties."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Since Lishan came up with this rule, there have been more than fifty children born in the past eight years, including more than ten children around six years old, and the rest four years old or still in infancy.
There are more than 20 of them, and all of these children are very strong."
"Facts have proven that the number of children who die young is related to the age of the biological mother. In addition, most of the children are born naturally, so the population of Lishan will be more prosperous."
Li Shimin sighed: "So Lishan is right?"
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, whether Lishan's rules are correct or not will be known by looking at the results. When they know the stakes, they will naturally stand on the right side and we don't need to influence them."
It rained again in early spring, which made the surrounding air even colder.
Li Shimin coughed twice more, his eyes looking a little tired.
To say that Li Yue felt that Lishan was too eager for quick success and instant benefits, Zhang Yang also felt that the current emperor was too eager for quick success and instant benefits.
The Tang Dynasty is now developing vigorously. The behemoth of the Aristocratic Family has collapsed, and the government needs to do more things.
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "How many hours does your Majesty sleep now?"
The prince replied: "Sometimes three hours, or two hours."
After saying that, the prince suddenly lowered his head and stepped aside, noticing that His Majesty's eyes were really accusatory and talkative.
"Your Majesty, I'm presumptuous." Zhang Yang picked up the emperor's wrist and began to diagnose his pulse. After a moment, he said: "Your Majesty, you need to rest."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I am naturally aware of my body."
"Clear? Many people say so."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "The doctor can't cure himself, so how can your majesty say this? I had a cold earlier, but I didn't get a good rest. I was weak and didn't get enough sleep. This will leave lesions."
"Your Majesty, please rest for three or two days, right here."
"I can't let go of government affairs."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "The affairs of the court can be left to the Prime Minister, Duke Zhao, and Brother Wenwen."
Seeing that Li Shimin still looked reluctant, Zhang Yang continued: "Your Majesty, when I first checked my pulse, I found that cold air had entered my lungs. I think I have been coughing for a while."
His Majesty did not nod, but the princes and princes standing on one side could not help but nod.
Zhang Yang said to Xiao Qingqing: "Tell Uncle Wei Wang that Your Majesty will rest in Lishan Mountain for a few days. Please bring the message to the palace, please."
Li Shimin was about to speak but stopped when he saw that Xiao Qingqing had left quickly.
"I……"
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has just begun. Many measures have just begun. I hope your Majesty can adjust for a few more days. Besides, Lili Mountain is building a very large firearm. Let's set a time. As long as your Majesty continues to cultivate until he retires.
After the bath is over, I will make new firearms."
Move with emotion and learn with reason. If Li Shimin continues to be eager for quick success, I am really worried that this emperor has gone crazy.
Firearms could make the Tang Dynasty invincible. If Lishan could make more powerful firearms, Li Shimin felt that he could put down the government for a few days.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, how long has it been since you played cards?"
Li Shimin stroked his beard and said, "It's been a while."
Recently, the emperor has money and wealth in his hands, so he naturally has the confidence to play cards. Moreover, his son-in-law has declared war, so of course he cannot give in at the game of cards.
Development must be done step by step. Zhang Yang felt that Li Shimin was eager for quick success and too eager for success. In this state, he could not get things done well, and it was easy for him to mess up things and even wear down his body.
After Li Tai received the news, he hurriedly asked people to tidy up the small palace at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
In the afternoon, the queen brought the three sisters Qinghe, Dongyang, and Gaoyang to Lishan to take care of Li Shimin's daily life.
Li Yue was pregnant and could not go down the mountain, so the queen personally went to Lishan Mountain to visit.
In the small palace, beside the stove, Li Tai was sitting upright.
Li Shimin and Zhang Yang were sitting opposite each other, and the poker game seemed calm at the moment.
"I lost again." Li Shimin took out a piece of silver cake and asked the prince to weigh it and make the accounts.
Zhang Yang smiled and cleaned up the card game.
"You and I can play bigger." Li Shimin nodded and said, "How about using the annual taxes from the Hexi Corridor to make arrangements?"
Zhang Yang put the collected cards on the table, nodded and said, "How do you want to play, Your Majesty?"
Li Tai sat upright and did not dare to say anything. He often looked at his brother-in-law and his father.
"Well, one year per game."
"Okay!" Zhang Yang nodded and began to deal the cards.
Just giving each other money was too much trouble, and the emperor wanted to make it simpler.
But if the courtiers learn about this matter, those officials may have endless memorials to write.
The fight in the poker game was fierce, so Li Tai wisely withdrew and sat quietly aside, pouring tea for his father and brother-in-law.
Soon, after five games, there were losses and losses, and my brother-in-law won the three-year tax payment in the Hexi Corridor.
Zhang Yang looked at the cards in his hand and whispered: "What about Pei Xingjian?"
"I don't understand."
Li Shimin asked back: "You arranged for him to go to the Western Regions. Don't you know it clearly?"
"To be honest, I really don't know Pei Xingjian. I just think he is a very good person and can be cultivated."
"Can it be cultivated? I still can't understand your vision."
Zhang Yang smiled helplessly, revealed all the cards in his hand, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I won another year's tax on the Hexi Corridor."
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "No, let's change the method."
"good."
The card game continued, there was still a cold wind outside the house, and the night was already dark. Li Tai held his head and his eyelids were fighting. He couldn't help but squinted for a while in a trance, dreaming that his father and brother-in-law were fighting each other with knives.
stabbing scene.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Suddenly I woke up, the card game in front of me was still going on, and my brother-in-law and father were also fine.
Then he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and continued to be half asleep. In his sleep, his father was sitting on the throne and scolding his brother-in-law. In the dream, a very strange scene appeared. The brother-in-law actually used a cannon to bombard his father.
He suddenly woke up again. Li Tai poured a lot of tea into his mouth with some fear. He asked the eunuch beside him in a low voice, "What time is it?"
The little eunuch was also half asleep, and it took him a while before he replied: "It's time to pass the time."
Li Tai took a deep breath, the card game was still going on, contracts were placed on the table one after another, and the card game was still going on.
The contracts were stacked one after another. It was okay for Li Tai not to read the contract. When he saw the contract, he suddenly lost all sleep. His father actually lost so much. The taxes of the Hexi Corridor were lost for 120 years overnight.
Feeling confused and confused, Li Tai scratched his head, and now his sleepiness was gone.
Li Shimin said in a low voice: "I often read the Ten Thoughts of Duke Zheng's admonitions, and they always remind me not to forget the demise of the Sui Dynasty, but also to grasp the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. However, I dare not relax, but the Tang Dynasty..."
He sighed again as he spoke, "But the talents of the Tang Dynasty left one by one. Zhang Gongjin left, Yu Shinan left, Dai Zhou, Wen Yanbo, Du Ruhui..."
"Xuanling, I, and Mr. Zheng are getting older year by year. How dare I slack off? There is no immortality in this world. What do you think?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "It is true that there is no immortality."
"Then tell me what I should do."
The emperor in front of him was like a patient seeking medical advice. Li Shimin showed his true feelings, but he was the emperor after all.
The emperor's words are 30% true and 70% false. In addition to testing one's reading and thinking ability, one must always be wary of whether there are traps.
There were indeed many strong men in the Tang Dynasty, and there were a large group of outstanding generals and counselors in the early Tang Dynasty.
But it was like God favored the Tang Dynasty, but did not favor the talents of the Tang Dynasty.
In the late Zhenguan period, Fang Xiang and others will also pass away. Time is never forgiving. The Tang Dynasty was strong because of these capable people, but their lives were too short. The strong men of the Tang Dynasty behaved in a way that is difficult to understand.
died one after another at a rapid rate.
Until the next Tian Khan succeeded to the throne, most of the old people of the Zhenguan Dynasty were gone.
This is the historical trajectory that Zhang Yang knows.
Looking at the Tian Khan in front of me, his eyes were bloodshot from playing cards all night.
Zhang Yang put down the cards in his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's okay, everything will be fine."
As he spoke, he put the contracts in his arms, drank the grape wine in the cup, raised his head and said, "It's getting late. Your Majesty, please rest early. I will go home first."
"Wait a minute!" Li Shimin said suddenly.
Zhang Yang noticed that the emperor was grabbing his wrist and bared his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. I can't escape in Lishan Mountain. The worst I can do is come back tomorrow."
Li Shimin closed his eyes and shook his head and let go of his hand, "Well, you go back and rest."
I wonder why this emperor is so anxious.
Zhang Yang walked out of the small palace with the harvest of the night. There were two lanterns on the stone steps going up the mountain.
When I got closer, I saw Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui leaning against each other. They were still holding lanterns in their hands, but they fell asleep leaning against each other. Their ears and the tips of their noses were red from the cold and they didn't even know it.
"Huh?" Xiao Wu opened his eyes in a daze and saw a figure standing in front of him, and then he cheered up.
Seeing it was the master, he stood up in a hurry.
Xiaohui also woke up and trembled: "Master is back?"
Zhang Yang stepped forward and said, "Go home."
Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui also looked at each other and smiled, "Well, go home."
The two disciples of my daughter-in-law were no longer girls. They walked ahead carrying lanterns and reached the top of the mountain before preparing to rest.
There were still candles burning in the house, and I saw my son sleeping in Xiong Da's arms.
Zhang Yang picked him up and put him on the small bed.
The big bear can finally get out of the house and return to his den.
After blowing out the oil lamp in the house, Zhang Yang washed up and went back to the bedroom.
Li Yue was sleeping, and the oil lamp on the other side was still on.
She opened her eyes drowsily and said slowly: "Get some rest early."
Zhang Yang looked at the contract and smiled: "I won the taxes for the Hexi Corridor for 120 years tonight."
"Um."
Li Yue nodded in agreement, lying under the quilt and unwilling to say more.
As soon as Zhang Yang blew out the oil lamp and lay down, he saw her leaning over, straightening the bedding before falling asleep.
The sound of her husband's breathing was the most familiar to her. Feeling the heavy breathing always made her feel at ease.
Perhaps due to the exhaustion from playing cards all night, the emperor had a very peaceful sleep. I heard from the palace attendants that His Majesty slept for five hours today.
Zhang Yang arrived here early in the morning and was sitting outside the palace with Li Tai, reading books.
Li Shimin put on his coat and asked curiously: "When did you wake up?"
Zhang Yang looked at the famous "Ten Thoughts" written by Duke Zheng that his Majesty talked about last night, and replied: "Your Majesty is unaware of something, but I still have another skill."
"What kind of skills?" Li Shimin washed his face and said disdainfully.
"No matter how late I sleep, I can always wake up at a fixed time. My biological clock is extremely stable and I will definitely wake up at that time."
After staying up late, he was very tired from sleeping. Li Shimin looked at his son-in-law, feeling that his mind was dizzy, and then saw that he was full of energy.
The sun was just right, shining on the field, and I quickly felt warm.
Li Shimin sat down, asked his attendants to put on their shoes, and said, "When can I see the new firearms?"
After Zhang Yang finished reading Shi Si Shu, he drank tea and said: "It's almost time, just in the next few days."
"Soon?"
After putting on his boots, Li Shimin straightened his clothes and stood up. He took a few breaths of fresh air and felt energetic. He thought to himself that this kid would probably not fool me, unless he wanted to hang himself in front of Chengtian Gate.
Zhang Yang stood up and said, "Let's go and eat."
Obviously he is an emperor, but Zhang Yang treats the emperor just like the father-in-law of an ordinary family. When other people's sons-in-law see their father-in-law, they should be respectful and respectful.
Zhang Yang walked ahead with his hands folded and looked back.
This made Li Shimin look unhappy, "What? I haven't washed my face clean?"
"Not really, I'm just afraid that His Majesty will be dissatisfied and leave again."
"As long as you can make new firearms, I should be relieved."
When we walked up the mountain, there were many people busy here. Li Yue and her two aunts were clearing away the dishes, while her younger brothers and sisters were in and out of the kitchen, preparing meals.
Li Tai explained: "Father, my younger brother and sister have actually been studying in Lishan for a long time. Today I want to cook a meal for my father."
Li Shimin sat down with a straight face, seemingly not very happy.
There were pots of cooked dishes, some with too much salt, and a bowl of soup sprinkled with chopped green onion.
While the emperor was eating, he was scolding his son and daughter, who couldn't even cook a meal well.
It is difficult for princesses and princes to get a compliment or a pertinent word from their father.
When the emperor was full, he did not forget to say, "Don't cook anymore and waste food."
Seeing the depressed faces of his younger brothers and sisters, Li Yue shook his head and sighed.
What was originally a well-intentioned act turned into a waste of food for my father.
It can be heard that the father is not thinking what he means, speaking harsh words, and the softness in his eyes can be seen that this time the family behavior is still effective.
Let the emperor slow down and relax.
Zhang Yang put away the bowls and chopsticks and said, "In fact, we should give them some encouragement."
