Compared with several royal brothers, Li Zhi was really not strong, let alone the prince of the East Palace. Even Wu King Li Ke had the troops and horses leading the army and guards.
Li Zhi thought that he only had Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi, and he was extremely weak.
Li Ke added: "You are a disciple of Lishan, just like your brother Wei Wang. Fortunately, you did not follow his example and stayed in Lishan and did not dare to return to Chang'an City."
He thought that none of these royal brothers were easy to deal with, so it would be better to stay in Lishan like Brother Wei Wang.
…
"Child slave."
As soon as he was distracted, he heard what the emperor said. Li Zhi smiled awkwardly and said, "What about that? My brother remembered that he still had something to do."
After that, Li Zhi quickly left Li Ke's sight.
The emperor's father and mother had left at some unknown time, and Li Zhi took Li Shen back to Chongde Hall.
The hall was originally very dark, but after Li Zhi remodeled and enlarged the windows, the place finally became much brighter.
The desk is placed next to the window so that you can read in the sunshine.
Sitting across from him was his younger brother Li Shen. He looked attentive and focused while reading.
Li Zhi no longer thought about reading, and sat upright and looked out the window, thinking of Sister Huang's words in his heart.
The royal sister actually called me stupid?
Think about the tone of these words again. There was talk in the palace and in the court that Lishan was going to rebel?
But now Lishan has been besieged by the Longwu Army for three years. If anyone wants to rebel, my brother-in-law would have rebelled a long time ago.
Li Zhi suddenly felt strange again, "If my brother-in-law really wants to rebel, I don't feel afraid at all. Why?"
"What did the emperor say?"
"Ah? Did I just say something?"
Li Zhi was in a daze at the moment.
Li Shen continued to read with his head down.
Gaoling County is a good place. The weather has been good in the past two years and the granaries are full.
Several subordinate officials in the East Palace were not very interested.
"The summer harvest has passed, and even the autumn grain has been harvested. Why doesn't Your Majesty allow His Highness the Crown Prince to return to the East Palace?"
The person speaking was Zhao Jie, who had just finished his farm work and was arranging his hair with a lot of weeds still hanging on his hair.
Li Anyan also complained and whispered: "Has your Majesty forgotten the prince?"
Only Yu Zhining concentrated on reading the documents and took over the work of the county magistrate.
Li Chengqian stood at the edge of the field, looking lonely alone. His father had stayed here without any order.
This was more like a punishment, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized what I had done wrong.
The Crown Princess whispered: "Your Highness, the village has sent a lot of food."
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Give them money."
"They refused to take it, saying that every household had a surplus."
While in Gaoling County, Li Chengqian noticed that the lives of the county residents here were simple yet fulfilling.
I heard that Zhang Yang is going to build a huge technical institute to teach them survival skills.
This year's imperial examination in Chaozhong has ended. There are many people who came to take the imperial examination, but even more people failed.
When Zhao Jie and others saw the prince coming back, they kept silent.
Although he is no longer in the East Palace, the prince is still concerned about the opening of the official school.
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked into the house.
Xu Xiaode saluted and said: "Your Highness."
Li Chengqian was eating his meal and asked, "How are you these days?"
Xu Xiaode smiled and said: "The lower official came to visit the prince, and also asked people to clean up the East Palace."
"Well." Li Chengqian put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I haven't been back to the palace for a long time, so I should be dealt with."
Zhao Jie and Li Anyan still have a good impression of Xu Xiaode, who also served in the East Palace.
As for the relationship, it's much better than Yu Zhining's.
Xu Xiaode added: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, does not need to pay attention to the discussions in the court. In fact, His Majesty sent the Crown Prince here to cultivate the Crown Prince's character."
Li Chengqian smiled with relief, "I know that it was Zhang Yang's advice to let me come here to cultivate my mind. It was arranged by my father. You are here to appease me at my father's will."
Xu Xiaode did not deny it, but just handed over a basket, "This is the document related to the imperial examination recently."
"Well, I heard that someone in the court criticized Lishan for rebelling."
"Ouch..." Xu Xiaode smiled awkwardly, "Indeed."
Li Chengqian asked again: "Is it because my father wanted Lishan to build artillery, and Zhang Yang repeatedly resisted the order?"
Xu Xiaode nodded with a smile.
"This Yang is so brave."
Xu Xiaode said: "The people being impeached are all unworthy people."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I don't think Lishan will rebel. Zhang Yang is a person who values the peace of the country more than anyone else. He said that Lishan's wealth comes from the strength of the Tang Dynasty. He will never do such a thing."
Waiting for something."
What Xu Xiaode wanted to say was that as long as Lishan did not rebel, it would not matter if Zhang Yang resisted the decree a few times. His Majesty would not touch Lishan.
Lishan Mountain, every rainy season in Guanzhong, the entire mountain is shrouded in mist, making it looming when viewed from a distance.
"Rebellion, who said there is going to be a rebellion?"
Zhang Yang was sitting at the entrance of the village and talking to Cen Wenwen, "You said you don't care about these important officials in the court. They falsely accused me of rebellion. Should I be punished?"
Cen Wenwen sighed: "It seems that you, Lishan, were not the first to resist the decree."
"Am I resisting the decree?" Zhang Yang spoke a little louder, "How many manpower do we have in Lishan? Can we build it?"
Cen Wenwen put his hands in his hands and frowned and advised: "Actually, the county prince does not need to resist the decree. At worst, His Majesty issued the decree. Lishan will accept it first, and then slowly shirk the responsibility."
"Brother Wenwen, if you don't have faith, you won't be established. Since I want to build things up, how can I be procrastinating like this? If I don't build things, I won't build them. If I resist the decree, I will resist the decree. If I continue to delay after receiving the decree, it will appear that we are not doing things efficiently in Lishan.
, how will the public talk about Lishan?"
Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "No wonder old man Cheng Yaojin said you have a talent in Lishan."
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Be more straightforward and don't drag your feet. Do what Lishan wants to do and don't do what he doesn't want to do. As for those who falsely accuse Lishan of rebelling, their salaries should be withheld."
"I haven't received a salary for several years. These bastards should be thrown into jail. They framed the current county princes and left them alone. Is there any justice in this world?"
Looking at Zhang Yang's attitude of pointing at Chang'an City and cursing, he was also ashamed.
"I think it's good to resist the decree."
"Brother Wenwen, know me."
Cen Wenwen saluted and said: "I would like to thank the county marquis for his thanks. Your Majesty's ambition is like a ravine. I heard that in the First World War in Persia, artillery was used to kill tens of thousands of people in just half an hour. Such killings
The weapon is harmful to Tianhe, and if it is not controlled, I am afraid that Your Majesty will do something out of control."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Zheng Gong is often worried that His Majesty will follow the old path of the Sui Emperor. Although the artillery is good, once Your Majesty wants more, more people will die in this world.
people."
"Tian Khan is worshiped by thousands of people, but people must be self-disciplined and someone needs to control his majesty's ambitions. The foresight of the county princes is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty."
Zhang Yang put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said: "Blessing! Yes, I am the blessing of the Tang Dynasty. I have always thought so."
"I admire you, I am so lucky."
"Wenwen, don't be like this. Change your attitude quickly. I still like your shameless look."
"Who is so shameless? Don't make fun of the county magistrate."
"Why did you come today?"
Cen Wenwen sighed, "The Andong Protectorate has been built, and many officials have been sent out to teach them. According to the original request of the county prince, everyone must be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo must pay homage to the Tang Dynasty every day.
The mountain calls the sky Khan."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "People must have a common sense of belonging. As long as they feel that they are also Tang people, with a sense of identity and identity as a Tang people, we can unite everyone in this world."
"The county prince should not resist the decree."
"The text is still as stubborn as ever, are you done yet?"
"This is a bad start. If more people resist the decree in the future, how can I still be the emperor?"
Cen Wenwen took out a document and said, "This is the policy of the Central Government to govern Liaodong. Now the Ministry of Rites was brought up by you. Zhang Da'an, the Minister of Rites, feels that I still need to ask you about this matter."
Zhang Yang opened the document and looked at the contents. A few drops of rain fell on the document. "It's good since I was a baby. He used Tubo's strategy on Goguryeo."
"Although the county prince is no longer in the court, the foreign envoys still want to listen to your ideas."
"Brother Wenwen is joking, I will no longer interfere with the political affairs of the DPRK and China."
Cen Wenwen held his short beard in his hand and said with a smile: "You are Zuocheng, the Minister of Finance. I have to ask you about many things in the court. There is nothing wrong with it."
Xiao Qingqing stood aside. His father was the Zuo Cheng of the imperial court, and his uncle Wen Wen was the Zhongshu Cheng of the imperial court. They were the two most important people in the imperial court.
Over time, Dad and Uncle Wenwen were the two most powerful people.
"In addition to business matters today, I also have some personal matters that I want to ask."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Wen Ting and others have been conquering the Japanese slaves for half a year. His Majesty was very satisfied after the military reports were sent. They successively conquered the city and captured the land. It was a time when the Japanese slaves were in danger. They sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. As soon as they arrived in Xinluo, they were attacked by Jin Chunqiu.
Got it."
Speaking of Jin Chunqiu, Zhang Yang thought that he would be Datang's dog.
There is also a Silla Queen who is full of unrealistic fantasies about Tian Khan.
"This year Jin Chunqiu and the Queen of Silla wrote letters of credence. He is coming to congratulate the Tang Dynasty again. He is somewhat asking for credit. This person..."
When it comes to evaluating Jin Chunqiu, Cen Wenwen looked troubled. It was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to start a war on both the east and west sides at the same time. This time, the soldiers and horses of Silla were used to conquer the Japanese slaves.
Wen Ting had no official position in the court, but he was from the Tang Dynasty.
This matter is difficult to deal with.
Cen Wenwen expressed his worries.
"I will discuss Wen Ting's matter with His Majesty. Brother Wen Ting does not need to worry. However, if there is any discussion in the court, please ask Brother Wen Ting to make the decision for me, especially those who falsely accused Lishan of rebellion."
"The county prince is joking, so he will naturally excuse the county prince."
Zhang Yang smiled and shook hands with him, "Thank you."
Cen Wenwen took back his hand and frowned: "The County Marquis is..."
Zhang Yang added: "This is Lishan's way of expressing our gratitude and goodwill. This is our benefit."
"It really is……"
"kind?"
Cen Wenwen said with a straight face: "I'm sorry it's hard to understand."
"I have one more thing to ask you."
"Say it."
"The military newspaper didn't mention anything about the silver mine. I heard that Wen Ting even wrote a military newspaper and sent it to the county prince alone?"
"Wen Ting was too late to fight and had no intention of taking care of the silver mines. His letters only contained military reports and did not mention anything about the silver mines."
Cen Wenwen believed that Zhang Yang would not cover up these matters, so he nodded and said: "It seems that the military report sent to Lishan is the same as the military report sent to His Majesty."
"Wen Ting did say one thing. He wants to have a drink with Tian Khan when he comes back."
"Why?"
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "How do I know what he thinks?"
Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them discussed the situation between the DPRK and China today, and Zhang Yang told him about Lishan's plans and future arrangements.
Cen Wenwen also talked about the current situation between North Korea and China.
The two exchanged "information" and said goodbye at the entrance of the village.
When returning home, Xiao Qingqing asked: "Dad, what is identity?"
Zhang Yang said to her: "You are my daughter and a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. This is identity."
She asked curiously: "Is it important?"
"Identity is very important."
Holding his daughter's hand, Zhang Yang patiently explained, "If people downplay their identity, they will lose their collective consciousness, lose the so-called friendship of peers, and their country will become a piece of scattered sand."
"The individual's thinking will be very scattered, and people will have no sense of responsibility. They will not learn experiences and lessons from what has happened."
"Without the motivation to pursue the truth and seeking change, I lose my own history, and thus I stumble through all kinds of fabrications and lies. In the end, I can only have a bloody encounter with the world."
Zhang Yang told her a story. The people in this story were all immortal, and they were created by another person. "... Gradually these people lost their thinking and would not fantasize, because they
Their immortality dilutes their ability to think, which also results in their thoughts and personalities becoming immutable."
"It was a dead world. The long life made them dilute their emotions. Someone asked the master who created them, we regard you as the truth, but you repay me with lies?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Actually, he used his own rationality and became suspicious."
This story is very deep, and there are many profound meanings that can be pursued.
"Daddy, my daughter doesn't understand." She whispered.
Zhang Yang picked her up and said with a smile: "You only need to know that you were born in Lishan, you are my daughter, and you are the princess of the Tang Dynasty. This is enough. You will slowly understand what happens in the future.
of."
Xiao Qingqing hugged her father's neck, with many doubts in her eyes.
The battle report sent by Wen Ting did not mention the silver mine. He only said that the battle was going well and that they had reached a volcano crater. It would be difficult to trek down further.
Xiao Qingqing also told her younger brother the stories her father told her.
The sun finally came out today, and the wet Lishan Mountain was finally warm.
Zhang Yang got up early and swept the door of his house. When the house was built, the ground was not flat enough, which caused these annoying puddles to appear at the door of his house.
After sweeping away the water on the road, I felt much better.
Lishan was the former emperor's palace, and the emperor's palace was not in good condition. It took a lot of trouble to build a new home. Let's just say that the problem of water accumulation continued to my new home.
Xiaohui and Xiaowu also got up early. They saw Master staring at the puddles on the ground without speaking for a long time, standing still with frowning.
It was as if he wanted to fill the puddle with his eyes.
The two of them tidied their clothes and took out their accounts and abacus to prepare for today's work.
