On the top of Lishan Mountain, Su Dingfang was pacing back and forth, "Do you have to do this?"
Zhang Yang clasped his hands and looked at the setting sun on the horizon, "I can only come up with this last resort, it will embarrass you."
"Do you have something to hide?"
"I'm a scholar, I can't hold a knife." Zhang Yang said with a melancholy look on his face.
The light of the setting sun is very gentle, at least it doesn't make people feel hot when it shines on it.
Su Dingfang clasped his fists and said, "You and I have known each other for a short time. We have only met a few times. In my heart, I always feel that you are wise, and I am very grateful that you can give me and Dao Yan this opportunity."
Zhang Yang smiled with relief, "The Ministry of Rites has its own plan, and we each have our own goals. I think this should be cooperation."
"cooperate?"
In the past, everyone was sitting together drinking, but now listening to Zhang Yang's words, Su Dingfang said again: "I guess your situation in the court is also very worrying."
"I understand my situation myself. After all, I have to work hard for the country, and these resistances are inevitable."
"I hope we can be friends."
"Then let's be friends."
"Farewell."
"General Su, walk slowly."
When going down the mountain, Su Dingfang looked back at Zhang Yang, who was still standing alone on the top of the mountain, then looked back and continued walking down the mountain.
In his heart, after turning thirty, Su Dingfang always wanted to disband and return home.
Zhang Yang was only in his mid-twenties and had already entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences at a young age.
No matter how high his official position in the court was, he always faced these criticisms alone.
Now looking at Zhang Yang standing alone on the top of the mountain facing the sunset, Su Dingfang stopped and shouted towards the top of the mountain: "One day, I, Su Dingfang, will definitely repay you this huge favor!"
The sound was loud and echoed from the top of the mountain.
After shouting these words, Su Dingfang's steps became much firmer.
After leaving Lishan, he processed various official documents in the army and then went to the palace to see His Majesty.
Nowadays, the generals in the court feel that they are out of touch between the younger generation and the middle-aged generation. This is also what Li Shimin considers.
Li Ji accompanied Li Shimin as he walked outside Xuanwu Gate, "What do you think of Li Xiaogong's son?"
"I have watched Chongyi grow up, but he chose to be a literary scholar and did not want to be a military commander."
"The last general thought that General Yuchi's child was also a general."
"Are you talking about Yuchi Baolin? I have seen this child. He is now serving as a young minister. However, he lacks the courage of his father and has no experience in leading troops. I can rely on my father to give him some care, but it is difficult for him to hold a big responsibility. "
"Cheng Zhijie's child..."
"Are you talking about Cheng Chumo?" Li Shimin snorted coldly, "This kid is just a loser. Do you want him to lead troops to fight? I'm afraid he will bring out a bunch of bandits, who are the same as his father. It's not easy to study. Until now, I can’t even write all the words.”
Li Shimin was not satisfied with the second generation of these generals in the court.
These children are either too ambitious or lack experience. Moreover, they are all the eldest sons in the family, and it is difficult for Li Shimin to arrange them.
Human relations are one thing, but relationships between kings and ministers are another.
The generals who fought together in the world in those days have now become princes and leaders of the imperial army. Only a few of these princes still hold real power, and the rest are still shaking hands. He wandered around, held a false title in the army, and lived a life of pampering.
People like Cheng Yaojin would stand up and loudly call for battle in the court. Will His Majesty really let them lead the troops and regain military power?
After the Weishui Alliance, the Turks were defeated in the battle of Yinshan, and this bad breath came out.
But the vigor in His Majesty's heart also disappeared a lot.
The General Tiance back then has become His Majesty now.
He no longer had the spirit of the past, and now His Majesty is more concerned about how to govern the country.
At present, apart from Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan, there is no better young general.
Being proficient in the art of war is different from being powerful. What your Majesty really wants is a general who can stand alone.
As His Majesty was walking, a guard came with Su Dingfang.
"Your Majesty, just as we were talking about him, he came." Li Ji whispered.
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and looked at the visitor, "He should be dealing with military affairs at this time."
When Su Dingfang came to the front, Li Shimin said, "Is there something to report?"
Su Dingfang saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I went to see Mr. Zhang yesterday."
Li Shimin knew about Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan's meeting with Zhang Yang yesterday that night, and did not show too much.
"Your Majesty, because of the previous favor, I finally went to see Zhang Shilang. Can I also give some military merit to Zhang Shilang, who is fighting in Tibet's Zhongshu Province this time?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and asked, "Is this your intention or Zhang Yang's?"
Su Dingfang bowed and said: "To be honest with Your Majesty, although Minister Zhang did not say it explicitly, there were hints in his words."
His Majesty had already awarded Zhang Yang a reward for this time's Tubo war. Li Ji frowned and said, "How could Zhang Yang say such a thing?"
Zhang Yang was granted the title of County Marquis and entered the Zhongshu Province. His Majesty naturally gave him a lot of rewards, but now he wants to ask for credit?
Li Ji added: "The general also heard Li Xiaogong and others comment on this child in the army. Ordinarily Zhang Yang should not say such words."
Li Shimin said with a straight face, "I understand, you go and do your own business first."
Su Dingfang saluted again, "I will retire at the end of the day."
Seeing that Li Ji still had a bored look on his face, Li Shimin said again: "You should also step back first."
"Here."
Li Shimin looked at the eunuchs and guards accompanying him. They must have heard Su Dingfang's words.
Naturally, Li Shimin would not give Zhang Yang any additional rewards, let alone give him a share of Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan's military exploits.
News of this incident soon spread out of the palace.
Naturally, Li Ji and Su Dingfang would not talk about it everywhere, and the eunuchs and guards in the palace would not think so. They liked to talk the most, and the news soon spread like wildfire.
Although there was civil and military disharmony between the DPRK and the DPRK.
The civil servants and military generals also stayed on the same page.
After meeting His Majesty, Su Dingfang also closed the door and stopped seeing visitors.
There is more and more discussion among the military.
Early that morning, Zhang Yang came to Lishan to build a house. Li Yue couldn't do the heavy work. She could cook porridge and prepare meals while her aunt watched over her. As long as Li Yue had the slightest idea of helping her husband build a house, , will be removed by the two aunts.
Li Yue had no choice but to sit by the stove and read a book, "Gan Shi Xing Jing".
This volume was also discovered in the former Sui Dynasty library. It was a relatively comprehensive astronomical book in ancient times and contained many records about astronomical phenomena.
Li Yue reads this kind of book purely to relax her mind, and the knowledge of books she has dabbled in is getting wider and wider.
There are many rumors about the book "Gan Shi Xing Jing" in history, and it is said that it is the earliest book to discover Jupiter.
With ancient science and technology, it would be too mysterious to discover Jupiter.
People have been looking up at the stars for thousands of years. How many people know about some of the mysterious and mysterious things? People like Yuan Tiangang may have mastered the motion patterns of several major planets in the starry sky.
The development of wisdom requires an environment, and the seeds of knowledge are always in people's hearts.
As long as they can eat well, people will have more energy to think.
Zhang Yang was standing on the wooden frame that had been built, laying bricks and stones. Li Tai was holding on to the frame and chattering, "How can the army talk about my brother-in-law like this? I was also present at the conversation that day. You clearly didn't say anything." Say these words.”
The matter was successful, and after Su Dingfang reported it to Li Shimin, Zhang Yang felt that his reputation in the military had become extremely bad.
Not to mention that some people want to use the Diplomatic Academy to seize the opportunity to win military glory.
The matter between Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan can happen once, but not a second time.
Zhang Yang also knew that he did not have enough strength to compete with Li Shimin.
As long as the soldiers want to gain a foothold in the military, they will stay far away from the Diplomatic Academy. Anyone who dares to have such an idea will be looked down upon by others in the military.
The shelf shook, Zhang Yang lowered his head and looked at Li Tai, "Your Highness, King Wei, can you help him?"
When Li Tai heard this, he stopped murmuring and hugged the shelf with some anger in his eyes. He just stayed quiet for a moment.
The fat man began to mutter, "Then Su Dingfang must be telling nonsense to frame his brother-in-law..."
Li Xiaogong also came after a while, carrying a bottle of wine and humming a tune in a good mood.
Li Yue stood up and saluted, "I've met Uncle Wang."
Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said, "You are pregnant, so you don't need to salute."
Li Tai also bowed slightly and called Uncle Wang, and then quickly hugged the shelf.
Li Xiaogong shook the wine jar in his hand, "Why don't you come and have a drink with me?"
Of course, you cannot refuse the invitation from the elders. After all, they are your daughter-in-law’s natal family.
Zhang Yang stepped off the shelf, and Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his arms, "Uncle Wang, have you heard anything about the military affairs?"
Auntie took out three pottery bowls and put them down.
Zhang Yang picked up one of them and said, "Aunt, we only need two bowls."
Glancing at Li Tai who was a little surprised, Zhang Yang said again: "The King of Wei is not old enough to drink unbridled. If he gets drunk, who will help me with my work?"
Li Tai picked up the water bag with an aggrieved face and kept pouring cold water into his mouth.
It has been two months since Li Yue stopped drinking. She smelled the aroma of wine and could not help but immerse herself in books.
Li Xiaogong took a sip of his drink and said, "Of course I've heard about what happened in the army. This must have been your kid's idea."
Zhang Yang nodded.
Brother-in-law actually nodded? Li Tai rubbed his eyes vigorously and asked again: "This is all my brother-in-law's fault..."
Li Xiaogong snorted coldly: "Who else could it be besides him? Others don't know him, so don't I know him? Being a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette can prevent him from going to court for half a year. As a minister of Zhongshu, he has not stepped into Zhongshu yet. Save a step, people like him will compete for credit?"
Zhang Yang clinked glasses with him and said, "Otherwise, we are uncles and nephews who have the same chemistry."
Li Xiaogong said loudly: "Hahaha! What a relatable saying, I'll drink it even more!"
Li Tai's outlook on life was about to collapse. He hesitated and said, "Wait a minute! Uncle Wang! What on earth are you talking about?"
At that time, there were only two officials in the dilapidated Ministry of Rites.
The two of them had already made up their mind to resign early and let others take over.
The person chosen at that time was Xu Jingzong, but this time Zhang Yang asked Su Dingxiang to say those words to His Majesty in order to keep a distance from the people in the army.
The ancients were all about integrity. With this matter, people in the Wei Mansion would definitely not want to have anything to do with the Ministry of Rites.
Zhang Yang drank the wine and said, "Prince Hejian, am I able to sit back and relax now?"
Li Xiaogong grinned and said, "You can just sit back and relax. You kid will be beaten when you go out on the street."
Zhang Yang asked in confusion: "Why?"
"There are many young and energetic young people in the army. Now Su Dingfang is also quite prestigious in the army. After meeting His Majesty, Su Dingfang closed the door and stopped seeing guests. Before I came, I heard some rumors that many people threatened to do it. Su Dingfang seeks justice."
"This is wrong." Zhang Yang pondered, "If they want justice, they should go to His Majesty. What should they do to me?"
"Looking for Your Majesty? These killers can't even write Chinese characters well. Let alone looking for Your Majesty, warriors prefer to use their fists to talk things over."
Zhang Yang lamented: "We in the Wei Mansion are unruly and arrogant and do not respect hygiene. I am very worried."
Listening to the two people talking, Li Tai's eyes wandered between Li Xiaogong and Zhang Yang, his little mind thinking rapidly and digesting these words.
】
First of all, my brother-in-law was not panicked by the discussion in the army, and was even a little happy.
Secondly, the prince of Hejian County took great care of Zhang Yang and treated Zhang Yang as his adopted son.
Furthermore, this matter made the King of Hejian County very satisfied.
What my brother-in-law did...
After analyzing this information, Li Tai thought that he helped Li Daoyan go down the mountain that evening. His only oversight was that he did not know what his brother-in-law and Su Dingfang said on the way down.
I just saw Su Dingfang hurriedly down the mountain.
At that time, my brother-in-law and Su Dingfang must have said something, but I didn't hear it.
Why did the brother-in-law do this?
The current brother-in-law is in a high position at a young age. If he serves well as an official and can continue to contribute to the country, it is not impossible for him to become the prime minister in the future.
The only reason that allowed my brother-in-law to do this was that he had too many friends in the military.
Come to think of it, must this be a good thing?
The only one who decided that my brother-in-law should hold any position in the court was his father.
His father's face appeared in his mind, and Li Tai's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. The brother-in-law and Uncle Wang in front of him could still drink so happily.
After thinking about this, Li Tai came to a conclusion.
Once the brother-in-law's connections were related to the military, the father would be on guard. Rather than competing for military glory with Su Dingfang, the brother-in-law was more scheming with the father.
The monarch and his ministers do not need to meet each other. They can use others to spread the word or trigger an event to get the result in the game of people's hearts, and the whole body can be affected by the move.
Is this the world of adults?
Li Tai wiped the sweat from his forehead. The relationship between his brother-in-law and his father was not something that children could understand at all.
It’s so scary and so complicated.
Li Tai suddenly stood up, picked up the wine jar and took a sip of wine, "I want to understand, I want to understand everything."
Li Xiaogong and Zhang Yang held up the wine bowls in their hands and stared blankly at the fat man.
Li Tai put down the wine jar and wiped his mouth, "Don't think that I can do it just because I'm a kid, I understand everything!"
Zhang Yang put down the wine bowl and said with his hands: "The King of Wei is still ignorant and has disturbed your elegance."
