Checking into the Quwo Palace in the evening, Li Shimin changed into an ivory white turtleneck (Tuanhua) round-neck shirt, only used a jade crown to tie his hair, reclined on a soft pillow, and listened to Zhang Anan's report on the situation in Prince Teng's Mansion. After a cup of tea, he interrupted Zhang Ananda's report and asked: "Wet method of making copper?"
"Wei." Zhang Anan showed Li Shimin the place where the simplified diagram of wet copper making was drawn, and said in a surprised voice. "It is said that Du You, Liu Shidu, and Xiao Shidu made... the electric rod that can produce lightning."
Li Shimin directly took the document and read it... No wonder his younger brother wanted to make Du Che a friend of Prince Teng's house. This guy's calculation ability was even higher than Xiao Ruoyuan! Wait, the juice of Eucommia ulmoides and dandelion can actually be used to make wheels? This... raised his head and asked: "Ananda, we only have three days to leave Chang'an, right?"
Zhang Ananda crossed his hands and saluted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is true that there are only three days. King Teng said that one day will bring three autumns. This old slave is really convinced."
I didn't want to say this, it seemed like I was a loser, but... what happened forced me to admit this statement. How could I do so many outrageous things in one day?
"Hahaha..." Li Shimin was amused by Zhang Ananda's statement. He couldn't stand or even disliked many of his younger brother's actions. I despised him for not abiding by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, not abiding by palace rules, and leading the Sizi and pheasant slaves into trouble... But he never said anything transgressive or did anything unruly. The younger brother said that one's deeds were ignored, and he never shied away from asking Ananda to do things. He also liked the way others looked down on him and could do nothing about him. He even said very arrogantly, there is no way, who made him like my brother so much. "Ananda, Prince Teng prefers you as you are, and he dislikes him gracefully."
Zhang Ananda bowed his head and said in fear: "Your Majesty, I dare not dislike Prince Teng."
How could I forget that Your Majesty understands people's hearts deeply? Relying on the trust gained over the years, a certain person drifted away.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this. You have to be as graceful as ever and despise the plume, so as not to raise his tail to the sky and get carried away. There are too many people holding him up now."
Wei Zheng, that sheep-nosed man, was so unprincipled that he was hired after writing a small inscription on a humble house with only eighty-one words. Someone despised him!
However, I sympathize with Sun Gong, and the donkey in Guizhou...gets closer and gets closer, and leans against it. The donkey is so angry that it hoofs it. The tiger was so happy that he thought, "The skill stops here!" Patting his thighs, he laughed wildly and said: "Hahaha, I really can't help but laugh, hahaha... That's all I can do, hahaha..."
Zhang Ananda: "..."
Princess Jinyang and King Jin are not in front of you, so Your Majesty has no scruples and can finally... evaluate the wonderful writing. Thinking of the sound of Wei Zheng and Yang Shidao knocking on the carriage, Zhang Ananda thought that his calming skills had improved a lot, which was worthy of enlightenment.
"It was passed down from word of mouth, and I will give Sun Gong a parrot and three hundred pieces of silk." Li Shimin gradually stopped laughing, looked at Zhang Ananda, who had a calm face, and laughed softly. "Before sending it off, remember to teach the donkey of Guizhou."
Zhang Ananda crossed his hands and saluted, and responded: "Wei Wei."
I don’t know whether I should sympathize more with Sun Gong or the parrot? More than 150 words are really a lot for a parrot. However, the parrot reminds me of the donkey in Guizhou every day. I wonder how big the shadow occupies in Sun Gong's heart?
"Your Majesty." Yang Shidao and Wei Zheng came together. The expressions on their faces were a bit...serious, with a hint of irritability like being disturbed by nine hundred ducks.
Li Shimin pointed to the low couch next to him and said with a smile: "Didn't you already know that they would be noisy? Why do you still look like you've been trampled?"
"Your Majesty, do you really want to wait for Prince Teng to come up with a plan?" Wei Zheng thought of the faces of those people... It's not that he can't bear it, but it's probably not long before they come here to ask for an audience, and they need to know what His Majesty thinks in advance.
What they are currently worried about is that they have to take the rugged Nanhuang Road back to Chang'an. In fact, they should take the Beikiao Road. After a few years of peace, they have forgotten those days of war.
Your Majesty let them eat too much, and Yaoshi Li and the others destroyed the enemy too quickly. What King Teng said is right, they should also be allowed to remember their hardships and think about their sweetness.
"Perhaps after dinner, they will come over and give me direct advice."
"Hahaha..." Li Shimin smiled nonchalantly. "If they offend Yan Zhijian again, they will not be as good as Bo Shi and Mao Yue Gong, let alone you, a sheep-nosed person."
There was an indescribable sense of joy coming out of Wei Zheng's mouth. Just like what my younger brother said, the contrast was cute.
Yang Shidao raised his fist and coughed twice in embarrassment. Wei Xuancheng has been communicating very well recently, and he no longer speaks so arrogantly... He deserves a beating. At least when looking at him, he won't feel like a rat or a silverfish. He took the topic and said: "Your Majesty, Teng... Yunhe Mansion, do you have any opinions?"
"Jing You is getting better and better at grasping the key points." Li Shimin smiled happily. It turns out that it's not that he can't grasp the key points, but that he can't distinguish priorities, or to be more precise, his priorities are different from others. "Yunhe Mansion has their own ideas, and they need this road to verify it. If it is confirmed that it is available, our time to Yizhou will be greatly shortened."
Brushed plates, rebars, electric rods and Eucommia gum... Taoist people seem to be more and more like Mohists. The combination of Mohists, who have no non-attack ideas, and Taoists, who follow Taoism in nature, will bring a new atmosphere to the Tang Dynasty. And they prefer to do things with their undisciplined younger brothers, because they don't do things according to common sense.
I don't care much about the so-called rules, but if I care about the rules, I won't demolish the tower, let alone make fireworks and telescopes.
Shuzi!
"Then Lingnan..." Yang Shidao looked at Li Shimin expectantly. He couldn't help but look forward to it. King Teng would not send people there to plant trees just to enrich the local people.
Wei Zheng rolled his eyes at Yang Shidao intelligently and said: "The entire Tang Dynasty is of course a game of chess. If Yizhou can build roads, will Lingnan be far away? I take back your smart and reasonable words. I deeply doubt that your mind has been corrupted. The donkey of Guizhou kicked it."
"Wei Yangbi, don't go too far. If someone is kicked by a donkey from Guizhou, you will be run over by a steamroller!" Yang Shidao stopped looking at Li Shimin, turned to Wei Zheng, and sneered. "I have taken back your words to facilitate communication. You are still a stone in the pit, smelly and hard!"
Isn't it just to insult people? Who can't do it? I have seen several scenes of Prince Teng quarreling with people, but you can’t beat me anyway. The swordsmanship practiced by Ye Luzi is not easy to use.
"Ahem." Li Shimin was shocked by Yang Shidao's words. As the youngest son of King Guande, he was trained by the court at a young age and had a long-standing talent. He actually mentioned the stones in the pit, which was really a big deal! reminded softly. "Jing You, please be careful about your status and your words. You and Xuancheng are both ministers of the imperial family. It's not good for you to speak harshly to each other."
Master Yang said: "..."
Wei Zheng: "..."
Why do you think His Majesty is so happy watching it?
