For the family's ambitious goals, Li Yue is also doing her part.
Zhang Yang even couldn't bear to tell her that people's hearts are evil.
At night, it started to drizzle again.
Li Yue put the silver cakes at home in a box. She dragged the heavy box into her room and started looking for a better hiding place.
Finally her eyes fell on the bed, which was a good choice.
Just in case, Li Yue also hid these silver cakes in various corners of her room. The eggs were not put in one basket, but her daughter-in-law still had such wisdom.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the house, with these things made by the Ministry of Industry, many things that were made in the past can now be made.
Make a combination lock first, and later you can make a safe.
Without enough tools, the combination lock cannot be made too finely, but it can be made larger, which will make it easier to control the size.
The number of digits in the combination lock does not need to be too many, six digits from one to nine are good.
Li Yue hid her silver cake and quietly drew pictures of the waterwheel.
Zhang Yang patiently polished some iron blocks.
It was late at night, Zhang Yangsu stood up, stretched his limbs and moved his back.
Li Yue fell asleep lying on the desk, with some ink still stained on her face.
Zhang Yang wiped her face with hot water.
Li Yue murmured in a daze, then leaned her body on Zhang Yang's shoulder.
Zhang Yang picked her up and took a look at the drawing. On the drawing, there was a barrel wheel drawn in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yue even drew a lot of weird water wheel styles. How did she think that the water wheel could be placed sideways? of?
Li Yue buried her head in her arms and curled up.
Go into her room, put her on the bed, cover her with a quilt, and take a closer look at her ankles. There is no sign of redness or swelling.
Li Yue retracted her feet into the quilt and said drowsily, "My feet don't hurt anymore."
She turned over and changed her sleeping position, and her breathing calmed down.
Zhang Yang once again made sure that the quilt was covered and looked at her sleeping face for a long time with an oil lamp.
My mouth is slightly open. How can I correct this problem of drooling while sleeping?
Zhang Yang walked out of her room melancholy and closed the door for her.
It was still dark when he woke up. As soon as Zhang Yang opened his eyes, he saw a small face staring at him.
Zhang Yang sat up from the bed and took a few breaths of air, "What time is it?"
"There's still half an hour before we go to court."
Li Yue stood beside the bed, "Did you peek at me sleeping?"
"Um?"
Li Yue put the oil lamp aside, "Anyway, I've come back to see it."
Zhang Yang sighed: "I was thinking about your drooling problem while sleeping."
Li Yue snorted: "You are motionless while sleeping. It doesn't look good at all."
I’ve looked at it all and still say it doesn’t look good.
Zhang Yang got up and got dressed distressedly.
The porridge has been stewed in the pot, and Li Yue has been making breakfast every day these days. Even though it is just as simple as cooking a pot of porridge and steaming two salted duck eggs, it is already a big improvement for her.
Li Yue jumped on the spot and confirmed, "The ankle doesn't hurt anymore."
Zhang Yang put on his official hat and walked out of the house with his wat tablet in hand.
Chang'an City is still quiet now.
When we walked to the gate of Chengtian Gate, there were several censors sitting around eating cakes. If the conditions were better, there would be servants from the family carrying food boxes, so they could sit here and eat hot breakfast.
Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin came to Chengtian Gate together.
When discussing business, Li Xiaogong didn't want Cheng Yaojin to make money.
Privately, the relationship between the two is still very good.
Seeing the two people looking at him, Zhang Yang smiled politely.
After looking away, the two started chatting again.
The Chengtian Gate opened as soon as the morning came.
When it was time to go up to court, when it was time to go down to court, Zhang Yang sat in the Ministry of Etiquette for a long time, and when he got off work at noon, Zhang Yang didn't stay for a moment longer.
Get off work when it's time to get off work.
Xu Jingzong followed Zhang Yang all the way: "Yi Nan Khan has just crossed the Luoshui River. Do you really want to take action now?"
"The Luoshui River is only two days away from Chang'an. Are the Hejian County Prince's manpower ready?" Zhang Yang stood at the city gate and looked in the direction of the Luoshui River.
The Ministry of Rites looked calm, but in fact, this calmness was tinged with madness. Xu Jingzong felt that his heart was beating very fast.
After being around for so many years, Xu Jingzong has also seen those crazy people.
The original Xuanwu Gate incident was a desperate one, and His Majesty was crazy.
Xu Jingzong avoided the storm as much as possible.
Fortunately, Your Majesty won the bet.
Zhang Yang is also a crazy person, and he is also a bold person. Why can such a person have such a harmless smile? Xu Jingzong has a feeling in Zhang Yang's heart that he has been suppressing a very crazy beast.
"Tell me, after the establishment of the Weishui Alliance, did your Majesty have the intention to destroy the Eastern Turks?" Zhang Yang whispered.
Xu Jingzong came back to his senses and said: "Your Majesty had just ascended the throne and his power was unstable at that time, so he united with Xue Yantuo in Mobei. After recovering for two years, he sent troops to attack the Eastern Turks and united with those in the north of the Turks. Xue Yantuo, Jieli Khan was defeated by enemies from both sides, and ultimately he was defeated by the wisdom of the Central Plains."
In the face of the method of combining vertical and horizontal lines, the Central Plains is an old player, and it is like a dimensionality reduction blow to the Turks.
"So when General Li Jing went north to conquer the Turks, he already used Xue Yantuo."
A gust of cold wind blew by, making Xu Jingzong a little confused, "I have read some case files recently obtained from the Turks. The Turkic characters look very troublesome, but I understand one thing. After Xue Yantuo's last alliance with China, the Turks During the internal chaos, Xue Yantuo captured a lot of Turkic territories, and they are still expanding, and their territories are getting bigger and bigger."
"But the lower official also discovered a problem with Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo is now too complicated."
Zhang Yang said with emotion: "The vicious Tian Khan used Mobei Xue Yantuo to attack the Eastern Turks, and his heart was completely wiped out. After using it, His Majesty wanted to destroy everything Xue Yantuo had."
Xu Jingzong remained silent and looked around. Fortunately, no one else heard this.
Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "Ah! The vicious Tian Khan."
Xu Jingzong bowed deeply in the direction of Tai Chi Hall.
Is Tian Khan evil?
In other words, the advisers in the hands of Tian Khan are vicious.
An ambitious emperor and a group of vicious advisers.
A shadow rose in Xu Jingzong's heart. It was the shadow of the counselors in the court. They were too powerful, too ruthless and vicious. Now he would definitely not be their opponent and he would show off in front of them.
Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Zhang Gongjin and other counselors would eat me up, Xu Jingzong, and then chew up all the bones and swallow them.
Xu Jingzong couldn't help but shudder in his heart. His Majesty is not a good person, Prince Hejian is not a good person, and Shi Lang Zhang is not a good person either. All the courtiers in the Tang Dynasty are too bad, and there is no good person in the Tang Dynasty!
"Brother Xu, for the world peace we long for, you don't want to run away."
Zhang Yang's sudden question made Xu Jingzong tremble with fright. He quickly bowed towards the Tai Chi Hall and saluted, "I will be loyal to you and serve the country, and I will never have any second thoughts until my death."
Listening to his words, Zhang Yang said with emotion: "Brother Xu's words are really too tragic. They remind me of the silkworms that die before their silk is exhausted, and the candles that turn to ashes before their tears dry up."
"Yes, that's right!" Xu Jingzong said firmly: "The spring silkworms will not dry up until they die, and the wax torch will not dry up until the tears turn to ashes. What a good sentence."
Can Li Shangyin’s poems be great?
"Everything is ready, let's start tonight." Zhang Yang said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, it will be done well."
The two of them looked at the direction of Luoshui River again, nodded and walked in one direction.
That night, Xue Yantuo's cavalry camped near the Luoshui River.
The closer he got to Chang'an City, the happier Yinan Khan felt.
When Li Shimin worshiped Fengtian Khan, Yinan Khan was one of his strongest supporters.
Looking in the direction of Chang'an City, Yinan Khan yearned for him. The last time they cooperated successfully to defeat Jieli, he was full of admiration for Tian Khan.
At the beginning, Xue Yantuo was just a small tribe, which had been suppressed by the Turks and was unable to obtain the fertile grasslands of the Turkic Monan.
Now that Jieli has fallen, the fertile grasslands of the Turks are right in front of them.
The cavalry team rested here, and they also pulled a lot of cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver.
There were not enough 50,000 war horses, so they could only use 30,000 adult war horses and 20,000 ponies, 10,000 cattle and camels, and nearly 100,000 sheep.
This is a mighty team.
Yinan Khan was thinking in his heart, this time as long as he got the approval of the Tang Dynasty, he could control Mobei and Monan, and he could even wait for the title of Khan. As long as he got the approval of the Tian Khan and attached to the Tang Dynasty, he wouldn't have to send Ah People of Shi Na's lineage take it seriously.
The great cause of the grassland is just around the corner. If you can marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty, it will be a supreme honor.
While the team was resting, a group of officers and soldiers came here.
Yinan Khan asked in Turkic dialect: "May I ask if it's the soldiers and horses sent by Tian Khan to greet you?"
The visitor didn't say much, he just brought down a jar of wine. The leading officer said, "We are here to help you wash away the dust. You can drink these drinks as you like. Our drinks in Datang are much better than those in Mobei." "
After opening the jar, the aroma of sealed mud wine came out, and Yinan Khan took a sip with a smile, "Good wine!"
These officers and soldiers kept bringing drinks into the cavalry and chatting with them.
The visitor did not introduce himself. When he saw that they were bringing wine, Yi Nan Khan did not ask any questions. Maybe this was all arranged by Tian Khan.
In the dark night, on the other side of the Luoshui River, Xu Jingzong sat alone on a stone by the river. He gnawed on the white radish in his hand and looked at the people sent by Prince Hejian who were already sitting with these people.
They even danced together around the campfire.
Xu Jingzong watched from a distance, chewing a white radish in his mouth, and a frog without eyes jumped to his feet.
Xu Jingzong raised his foot expressionlessly and trampled the frog to death.
The first bottle of wine given to them is fine, but the subsequent drinks are hard to say.
Xu Jingzong took another bite of white radish fiercely, and their laughter could even be heard here.
Mencius said, "Why is life born? When we are worried, we are born, so we are born from worries." Why die? If you are happy, you will die, so you will die in peace.
Yinan Khan is so arrogant that he forgets his worries, and he is not far from death.
I don’t know that Xue Yantuo is in the most danger now.
When the laughter in the cavalry gradually calmed down, Xu Jingzong also understood that the time had come to take action.
The sun on the horizon shines on this messy horse team.
After sleeping from last night to noon the next day, Yinan Khan slowly opened his eyes, and the sunlight was a bit dazzling.
He got up from the ground and shook his groggy head.
I was very drunk last night, and now my mind is groggy.
A herdsman from Xueyantuo explained in a panic while gesticulating with his hands.
After hearing this, Yinan Khan looked at him in disbelief and hurried to the back of the cavalry. There were no horses, cattle or sheep in front of him. It was completely empty.
"Ah!" Yinan Khan roared.
Tens of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep disappeared overnight.
"Pah!" Yinan Khan slapped himself hard to wake himself up.
Many of Xue Yantuo's warriors also woke up, and they looked around in a daze.
The cavalry team was silent for a while, and all the horses, cattle and sheep in front of them disappeared.
These are all dedicated to Tian Khan.
"Ah!" Yinan Khan roared again, and then he sat on the ground with weak legs, "Look, look for it quickly!"
At this time, another group of officers and soldiers came to the cavalry. The person who came read Li Shimin's will, "Invite Yi Nan Khan to enter Chang'an City."
Yinan Khan said in a panic: "Did someone come to greet you last night and deliver drinks?"
The officer and soldier looked at Yi Nan Khan in confusion, "His Majesty did not send anyone here last night. He only sent us after the court today. Please invite Khan Yi Nan."
Yi Nan realized what happened last night. Not only were the cattle, sheep and horses gone, but all his belongings were also looted.
"ah!"
Yinan Khan roared like crazy, "My horses, cattle and sheep have all been stolen!"
The officer and soldier said impatiently, "If you have anything to do, please ask Yi Nan Khan to come to Chang'an City. There are so many cattle, sheep and horses that can't be far away in a short time, so we will definitely find him."
"Yes, yes!" Yi Nan kept nodding, "I can definitely find it."
At this moment, he was at a loss of control, and headed for Chang'an City with a few of Xue Yantuo's warriors. He rode his horse and said to the officers and soldiers on the side: "Please be sure to find our horses, cattle and sheep. For these cattle and sheep, we Xue Yantuo will give all we can." Take out everything you got.”
The officers and soldiers led the way silently.
Xu Jingzong and Zhang Yang stood together in front of Chang'an City.
"These herds of cattle, sheep and horses could not be carried far for a while, and they hid in a mountain col this morning. In order not to be discovered, we can only carry them again tonight, and we plan to hide them in Lishan Mountain."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yang said with his hands in hand.
"Yi Nan Khan came here with all his family wealth. He might have gone crazy now." Xu Jingzong said.
A group of officers and soldiers were heading towards the city gate, leading Yinan Khan to the front of the city.
"If you have anything to say, you can talk to the two ministers from our Ministry of Etiquette." After saying that, the team of officers and soldiers rode away again.
