Li Tai sniffed, "Why? Why did you do this to it?"
"Excellence in industry lies in hard work and playfulness. Your Highness, the King of Wei, should not indulge in this kind of struggle between domestic animals."
Under Li Tai's unbelievable eyes, Zhang Yang had just finished speaking, picked up another fighting cock and broke its neck. The two chickens fell to the ground and lost their movement.
Li Tai sniffed in frustration.
I have to say that these two chickens are quite strong, and I don’t know which one was given to the King of Wei by a blind person.
Zhang Yang skillfully killed the two chickens.
Two chickens were roasted on the fire.
The fragrance soon attracted Li Tai.
A large bowl of soup was made with chicken giblets and coagulated chicken blood, and two roasted chickens were placed on the table.
Li Tai tore off a chicken leg, took a bite and chewed it, "My chicken died miserably."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Is it delicious?"
Li Tai nodded vigorously, "It's delicious, but this is my lifelong best friend."
"This dear friend has now become the food of His Highness King Wei."
Li Tai chewed the chicken hard, "This meat is not delicious. It is not as smooth and tender as the chicken raised in the village, but this is still my best friend for life."
"His Royal Highness, King Wei, try this bowl of soup."
Li Tai picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, with a disappointed look on his face, "I didn't expect that the soup made with the heart and lungs of my best friend would be so delicious."
Zhang Yang said patiently: "I wonder who sent the fighting cock to His Highness King Wei?"
"Li Yuanchang, he said he came to apologize for what happened last time." Li Tai took another sip of soup, chewed the chewy offal and said: "These two fighting cocks are indeed quite interesting, but it's like what you said It is better to use this kind of poultry for eating, but it would be a pity just to look at it."
"Then are they still close friends of His Highness King Wei?"
"No, now it is the food in my belly. It is better to use this kind of poultry for food."
Li Tai didn't like to eat chicken breasts, so he ate chicken legs and wings. The chicken breasts, which were meatier, were all eaten by his guards. Now that his living conditions have improved, he has become picky about what he eats.
"Your Highness, King Wei, these two chickens sent by Li Yuanchang have ulterior motives."
"I just think he wants to apologize to please me."
Zhang Yang sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei should be able to figure out the reason with his intelligence."
Li Tai threw the chicken bones to the puppy aside, and several puppies from the village immediately surrounded him wagging their tails.
Li Yue was watching the little bear and the two geese fighting inextricably.
There were already a lot of scratches on the goose's body. This was the first time that the little bear didn't lose when facing two big geese.
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Li Tai also looked at this scene.
The goose feather fell to the ground, and the little bear stepped on the other big goose and scratched the other big goose with his two paws.
But the little bear missed the mark and fell to the ground.
As soon as it fell, the two geese gained the upper hand and began to fight back wildly.
One move failed, and the little bear and the two geese had no time to counterattack, and kept rolling and crawling back. It ran to Li Yue's feet, and the two geese gave up.
Two big geese held their heads high and waddled into the river, combing their own goose feathers with the river water as they swam.
We still lost in the end, and it still takes time for Little Bear to grow.
The two geese are indeed good at training the little bear, and they may also be very effective in fighting in the future.
Li Tai slapped the table and said, "I understand, he Li Yuanchang wants me to indulge in fun and become useless, right?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "You can teach me."
Li Tai sneered and said: "In your eyes, am I that kind of person? Will I waste my life for two chickens?"
Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei just said that he would treat these two geese as lifelong friends."
Li Tai nodded and said, "But I ate them."
"I hope His Highness King Wei will take this as a warning."
"I have already eaten them."
Give Li Tai a positive influence, he is a money tree, and no one can destroy this money tree.
Li Tai snorted coldly: "This Li Yuanchang is determined to be a thief, and I will not take him lightly. Don't worry."
"Is His Royal Highness the King of Wei still sad about these two fighting cocks?"
"I'm not sad anymore. After eating them, I just feel very happy."
Aunt Wang stepped forward and said, "The printing equipment designed by Her Royal Highness the Princess would like to be viewed by the Prince Consort."
Zhang Yang walked into Li Yue's room after hearing this. A huge drawing was hung on the wall. This was a drawing of printing equipment for movable type printing.
According to previous assumptions, it is not difficult to make printed templates.
Place the printing plate on the shelf, pull the lever on the side, and the shelf will close.
The paper and printing plate are combined, and the writing will be printed on it. The equipment does not need to be large, and it is very convenient to use. It can be operated by one person, and it is very fast.
Fix the printing plate and paper on both sides of the clamp, pull the lever to close the clamp and the printing is done.
These ideas are still only in the drawing stage.
Li Yue looked at it with a smile, "Husband, I think this thing is not difficult to make, and it doesn't need to be too big. With a palm-sized printing plate and a dozen identical jigs, we can print many, many books in one day."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The printing plate can be combined with small squares printed with movable type. It can save costs. One person can operate a printer, and it can also save manpower."
Li Yue looked at the drawings and looked forward to...
The court and the central government were very busy for several days, all busy with high-performance matters. This time, the envoys sent to Tibet were detained by Songtsen Gampo.
Moreover, it also gave Tubo an advantage. If the envoys were left alone, many people would have thoughts about the DPRK.
Gao Xingxing glanced at Zhang Xiangxiang, who was sitting aside as if nothing had happened. Now everyone in the Ministry of Rites was his own people, except for Zhang Xiangxiang, Zhang Dashu's two brothers, and Xu Jingzong, who had never shown up.
The renovated Ministry of Rites is much larger than before, even wider than the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War, and is about the same size as the Ministry of Personnel.
Seeing that no one could come up with a good solution, Gao Xingyi stood up and left the Ministry of Rites, and hurried all the way to the Ministry of Personnel.
Gao Shilian coughed while looking at the list of officials.
Seeing Gao Shicheng coming, Gao Shilian's face darkened, "What are you doing here?"
Gao Jingcheng looked around at the officials before speaking again.
Understanding what his son meant, Gao Shilian took him to the backyard of the official department and said, "There is no one here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Gao Xingcheng whispered: "Father, what should we do with the envoys in Tubo now?"
Gao Shilian nodded and said: "You did this yourself, and it is your own business to deal with the aftermath."
Gao Jingcheng replied: "Should we send troops to rescue immediately?"
"Do you want the Tang Dynasty to go to war with Tubo?" Gao Shilian said, stroking his beard: "Now His Majesty has been pursuing the national policy of solidarity with the people and will not agree to this, let alone go to war with Tubo. Now Niu Jinda has Sitting in the Hexi Corridor, if we want to take action, Tubo will take action first, and the time has not yet come."
Gao Jingcheng replied: "Father, the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun has not long passed, and Tubo has not yet recovered its strength, so it is better to take action now."
"Think more about everything? I know you want to do something great, but right now Tubo and Tang Dynasty can't go to war. Although I don't get along well with Changsun Wuji, after all, it's an uncle-nephew affair, so it's something that I should help. He will help, no one could have imagined this outcome."
"My child understands."
Changsun Wuji hurriedly came to the Ganlu Hall and said, "The letter of credence to Tubo has been written, and I would like to ask your Majesty to read it."
Li Shimin took the letter of credence and said, "I didn't expect Tubo to be so hostile to the Tang Dynasty."
Changsun Wuji whispered: "Tubo is a bitter and cold land. Their strength may not be comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to make a fuss. Gao Jixiu also wants to make some great achievements."
High performance, inability to do things, and recklessness.
Zhang Yang is capable but tough.
In contrast, high performance has indeed fallen behind.
Li Shimin sighed: "If Songtsen Gampo accepts this letter of credence and ignores it, and still takes into custody the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty, where will my face be?"
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said, "I'll think of a solution later."
"Wait a minute." Li Shimin called to Changsun Wuji again, "You should also try to persuade Gao Jingcheng."
"Here."
Changsun Wuji walked out of the Ganlu Hall with a complicated mood. He had to leave the responsibility of supporting his descendants to himself. Before it was Zhang Yang and now it was Gao Jingxing. He had some resentment in his heart. This Gao Jingxing worked well in the Ministry of Etiquette, no matter what. If you don't do it, no one will talk. If you have to touch Tubo, is Tubo so easy to touch?
Li Shimin sat in the Manlu Hall, picked up a memorial and continued to read it. He also remembered the words he said to Wei Zheng in the memorial. Since ancient times, the head of state has not been equipped with weapons and equipment. , that is, there is no holy master. Today, Your Majesty is wise and wise, so he will rule. If there are virtuous ministers in Xiangruo, but the ruler does not think about transformation, it will be of no benefit. Although the world is peaceful now, I still don't feel happy about it. I just hope that your Majesty will be alert to danger in times of peace and be diligent and diligent.
"It's a good sentence. I hope that your majesty will be prepared for danger in times of peace and be diligent and diligent." Li Shimin thought that Wei Zheng was like a needle. Whenever he relaxed, the needle would prick down.
A eunuch brought a bowl of bean sprouts and said, "Your Majesty, this is the seed grown by the Supreme Emperor."
Li Shimin looked at the bean sprouts in confusion, "What does your father grow bean sprouts for?"
The little eunuch replied: "The Emperor said that these bean sprouts were not grown. The Emperor came up with a way to make crops without using soil. He said that he would like to show it to His Majesty. He also said that he wanted to leave Chang'an City and go to Princess Runan's fiefdom to see it. Look, maybe we have to stay for a while.”
Li Shimin thought that his father had no one to talk to him in the Wude Palace, and he might be really depressed. "Let Cheng Qian accompany you and let the people from the East Palace escort you there."
"Here."
After Li Shimin agreed to leave the palace, Li Yuan was in a good mood.
Of course, the prince had to accompany him when he left the palace. After Li Yuan changed his clothes, he met Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Grandpa Huang, actually Gu Ye has wanted to see that place for a long time, but the accompanying Master Yan also wants to see Zhang Yang."
Li Yuan nodded and walked quickly, not wanting to stay in the palace for more than a moment.
While walking and getting on the carriage leaving the palace, Li Yuan said to Li Chengqian: "I will stay in that village for a while longer. When the time comes, if you want to go back to the East Palace, you can go back by yourself."
Li Chengqian nodded.
The carriage was quiet for a while, and Li Yuan said again: "You have grown up and it's time to marry a wife."
Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said, "My mother has mentioned it, but my father has not expressed anything yet, maybe he is still considering it."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Your father is a man who is good at calculations. There is no need to think about people from the five surnames. You and Qingque are even infant slaves. As long as you are your father's heirs, Don’t touch any of the children of aristocratic families.”
Li Chengqian frowned and said, "My son knows my father's painstaking efforts. A single move can affect the whole body. My father has further plans."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Zhang Yang is the same. He has a far-sighted vision. I heard that he told your father as early as a year ago that Tubo is an opponent that cannot be underestimated. That's why he took precautions in advance."
"He had a plan as early as that time?"
Li Yuan nodded, "Just like he said you can grow bean sprouts without soil, so I tried it, and I didn't expect it to work, hahaha!"
Li Yuan laughed when he thought about Zhang Yang.
Li Chengqian said in confusion: "This Zhang Yang has both foresight, skill and ability, and he can also deal with surrounding countries. It's a pity that he made the mistake of using power for personal gain and was reported."
Li Yuan had a smile on his face, "Do you know who reported this?"
"I know it. I advise the doctor Wei Zheng."
"Things are not as simple as you think. Think about it, how did Wei Zheng know about this?"
Li Chengqian heard this and asked doubtfully: "Did Wei Zheng listen to what others said? Or is it someone from the Ministry of Rites?"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Think again?"
Li Chengqian whispered: "Could it be Qingque? Or maybe it's someone from Prince Wei's palace."
The carriage was not moving very fast, and it took a while to get out of Chang'an City.
Li Yuan looked at the scenery outside, "Li Tai is a smart child. He has been smarter than you since he was a child."
Li Chengqian lowered his head in shame.
"The attendants and servants of Prince Wei's Mansion all listen to Qingque's words. Although he is sometimes mischievous, the attendants around him are also loyal to him. In fact, this incident is not the news coming from Prince Wei's Mansion, but Zhang Yang's teacher Zhang Gongjin.”
Li Chengqian was surprised and asked: "Why is it Duke Zou?"
Li Yuan smiled and said: "You left the Ministry of Rites passively because of Zhang Yang. They had planned it in advance, and Li Xiaogong was involved. Don't think too simply."
"Grandpa's teachings will always be remembered in my heart."
Li Yuan looked into the distance and said, "Zhang Yang has farsightedness and skill. Gao Xingcheng is indeed not as good as him."
Li Chengqian thought again, "Since he can get personal benefits from the Ministry of Rites, why did he let Zou Guo announce it?"
Li Yuan smiled, "How do I know? You might as well ask him yourself when you get there."
Li Chengqian fell silent again.
"Do you know why your father allowed me to come out for a walk?"
"Father, do you hope that Grandpa Huang can come out to relax?"
"Because I am surrounded by your father's people, and they are all staring at me."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, the little eunuch driving the carriage was so excited that he could even feel the Emperor's gaze behind him like a gleam on his back.
The emperor and the prince were traveling, and the village received news. The guards from the East Palace and Wude Palace notified the village early to prepare.
Niu Chuang asked people to clean up the road and even clean up the stones along the way. He was afraid that the stones would cause the carriage to bump and upset the emperor.
