Li Yifu came from a humble background and had always suffered from the cold eyes of others. He had had enough.
There's nothing he can't spare now.
It was these humiliations that made him more determined about his official career.
He made plans for the future of Goguryeo with Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, and the fate of Goguryeo, a small country, was in the hands of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Yang, Shang Xu Jingzong of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Yifu described the future of Goguryeo in just a few sentences.
Regarding the future instructions of the two people, Zhang Yang felt that it was unnecessary. Xu Jingzong was no longer the same as before. He was now the Minister of Rites, his wings had grown up, and he still had the right to directly report to His Majesty. Now he dared to ask Changsun Wuji Challenge.
And Li Yifu is a talented person.
With these two people in the Ministry of Rites, the Tang Dynasty's court might have a new look.
Just by using such two bad guys, Zhang Yang found that he had gone on the road of villain and traitor and would never return.
Watching the two people leave, Zhang Yang felt the chill of the autumn night.
Walking on the path in the village, I saw Zhang Daan standing in front of the teacher's house again.
"Da'an, please spend time with your teacher and master's wife today."
Zhang Daan clasped his hands and saluted, "Thank you, brother, for always taking care of your parents."
Zhang Yang smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Da'an, what are you talking about? Of course I have to take care of the teacher."
People value emotions. This teacher didn't give much guidance to me, but he hit the nail on the head every time.
Living a new life, from a rootless duckweed to the present, it is indispensable for the guidance and teachings of these elders to prevent me from taking detours in this era.
Without them, he might not know what his life would be like in the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Daan whispered: "I have already discussed it with my parents. From now on, I will live in my old residence in Chang'an City."
"If you have a plan, I won't interfere." Zhang Yang put his hands on his back and looked up at the setting sun, "You also know the current situation in the Ministry of Rites. I don't know what His Majesty's plans will be in the future. But Xu Jingzong Even if he is now the Minister of Rites, he will continue to make progress based on his character."
Whether it is Xu Jingzong or Li Yifu, they have taken the initial taste of official career, so naturally they will not let go easily, nor will they stop making progress.
"Brother, are you worried?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Let's make plans in the future. The court is like this. The emperor can decide the fate of too many people with just one sentence."
Zhang Daan was also speechless.
Patting his shoulder, Zhang Yang walked up to Lishan with a smile.
Back home, Zhang Yang wrote a letter to Wen Ting and was rummaging through it in the study.
Li Yue, who was supervising her daughter Xiao Qingqing's writing, wondered: "What are you looking for, husband?"
Zhang Yang scratched his head, "Where did my Lishan County Hou Yinxin go?"
"Husband, wait a moment." Li Yue quickly stood up and walked out of the study, and then put Lishan County Hou Yin down with some guilt.
Everything in the house was in the hands of his wife, so Zhang Yang pretended to be confused and stamped his letter without asking any questions.
In fact, the daughter-in-law and Xiaohui had their own plans, and both the names of Taifu Temple and Lishan County Marquis were used by them to prepare for the great tea business of Jiangnan East Road.
The profits from tea were so great that in the fourth year of Zhenguan the emperor tasted fried tea for the first time.
In the next two or three years, tea became popular in Chang'an City at an unimaginable speed, and now it is popular all over Guanzhong.
The tea business will be even better in the future, and those who sense the business opportunities have already started to prepare.
Some people are preparing tea in Bingzhou, while others want to plant tea trees all over Taiyuan.
What the daughter-in-law is interested in is Jiangnan Dongdao tea, because according to the records of Taifu Temple, the water and soil of Jiangnan Dongdao are most suitable for growing tea. After two years of understanding, Li Yue has tasted tea grown in various places.
Only those grown in Jiangnan East Road are the most suitable.
After late October in Guanzhong, it is the frost season. The cold air from the northwest hits, covering the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan with a silvery white frost.
It got colder in the morning, and Zhang Yang didn't sleep well all night to take care of his son. The three- to five-month-old child was the most noisy.
With sleepy eyes, Zhang Yang opened the door and sat at the door to wash up.
"Brother-in-law, please teach me how to play the Rubik's Cube today." Princess Qinghe said in anticipation, holding the Rubik's Cube in her hand.
"Let your imperial sister teach me. Frost has fallen today, which is a good time to harvest cabbage and cabbage."
Zhang Yang brushed his teeth with a dull expression, and then asked: "Have you brushed your teeth?"
"Go and brush your teeth now..."
She looked depressed and aggrieved.
Zhang Yang rinsed his mouth and face, put on lighter clothes and went to work in the fields at the foot of the mountain early.
Lishan was very quiet in the early morning, and the doors of every house were ajar. Everyone had just woken up at this time.
As the county prince of Lishan, Zhang Yang was the first to walk into the vegetable field carrying a bamboo basket.
Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and Li Tai woke up together. The grandfather, grandson, uncle and nephew looked at Zhang Yang, who had been working in the fields early in the morning, with dull expressions.
Living in Lishan requires you to develop the Lishan habit of brushing your teeth when you get up early and go to bed late at night.
Li Tai walked to the vegetable field while brushing his teeth, "Niu Chuang and the others have completed the connection between the lathe and the steam engine. Our village can resume work in the next spring."
He brushed his teeth with a toothbrush, his words slurred.
"His Royal Highness, King Wei, help me put these vegetables into bamboo baskets."
"Yeah." Li Tai rinsed his mouth and helped pick up the vegetables.
Taifu Temple is busy with these things all day long. After calculating the season for planting vegetables and calculating the yield per mu of land, based on the relationship between solar terms and water and soil, the crop yield can reach the most appropriate level.
Li Tai whispered: "Brother-in-law, you said the steam engine was created by physics, but where is the end of physics?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "No one can say for sure about the end of physics. What we understand is only the fur of the fur. I used to hear others say that the end of physics is the end of the microcosm, but countless people spend their entire lives trying to figure it out. There’s no end in sight to physics.”
Li Tai didn't understand what micro meant, but he still wrote it down.
Seeing that the fat man still looked hesitant and satisfied, Zhang Yang didn't want to extinguish the passion and ideals in his heart.
Physics, that is a knowledge that has exhausted generations of efforts with no end in sight.
Physics can change the world, or it can destroy it.
But its end cannot be seen even for generations.
At the current level of Datang, the ability to build a steam engine is still half-understood, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Lishan is harvesting vegetables.
But it was a different situation in the court. The court was quarreling over how to deal with the King of Goguryeo.
Yeon Gaesumun's fate was simple. Everyone agreed that this kind of rebellious minister could just be executed, and death would not be a pity.
However, there were constant debates in the court about the handling of the King of Goguryeo.
Based on Changsun Wuji's long-standing policy of tolerance, he hoped that the King of Goguryeo could be trapped in Chang'an City like Songtsen Gampo.
He stood in front of the court and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the King of Goguryeo has been in Goguryeo for many years and is an orthodox royal family. To ban him so easily will inevitably cause conflicts among the people in Goguryeo, which will make it more and more difficult to govern Goguryeo."
Changsun Wuji bowed and continued: "I think that by placing the King of Goguryeo in Chang'an City and commanding the Goguryeo people in the name of the King of Goguryeo, we can maintain stability and stabilize the people of Goguryeo."
As soon as the words came out, the court was full of discussions.
Zhang Daan stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am satisfied with what Duke Zhao Guo said."
Facing a newly promoted minister, Zhang Daan is a stranger in the court.
Although this man had meritorious service, he dared to refute Zhao Guogong directly, and the discussion in the court became even greater.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Quiet! Let's listen to what Mr. Zhang has to say."
The court suddenly became quiet again, and many eyes were on this new minister.
Zhang Daan faced Changsun Wuji and whispered: "Dong Zhao, where is the trouble in Goguryeo?"
Changsun Wuji whispered: "Of course it's Yuan Gaisuwen."
"What Duke Zhao Guo said is too simplistic." Zhang Da'an continued: "Since ancient times, the troubles and disobedience in Goguryeo were caused by the King of Goguryeo. Who resisted and allowed Goguryeo to resist when the Sui Dynasty conquered the disobedient king? So many former Sui generals are buried in foreign lands?"
Changsun Wuji had a stern look on his face, "If we ban the King of Goguryeo, what will happen if the people of Goguryeo become uneasy?"
In the court hall, Li Chengqian and Xu Xiaode were present, and both of them looked at Zhang Daan who was speaking loudly in the court hall.
Zhang Daan, who was rumored to be the least promising in the East Palace, has now become the most promising.
Watching his argument with Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian's eyes showed more appreciation and worry.
Zhang Da'an added: "What Duke Zhao said was just for the sake of the moment. Zhou Li said that the ministers are in charge of the laws of the five liars, distinguish their objects, and control their political orders. Commander the people and fight thieves, serve the country's humiliation, and accumulate for hundreds of officials Renqi."
"When it comes to imprisoning people, if the state has sacrifices, guests, and funerals, we should take care of the annoying and humiliating matters, command the subordinates of the four Zhais, make them obey the uniforms of the state, command the soldiers of the state, and guard the palace and the countryside. It is strictly forbidden to give up."
Facing Changsun Wuji, Zhang Daan was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued: "It is said that in troubled times, law should be used seriously. The chaos in Goguryeo was not caused by the people, but by the old nobles of Goguryeo and the king of Goguryeo. The Central Plains neglected to control Goguryeo. The people only heard about the King of Goguryeo but did not hear the voice of the Central Plains, and allowed him to enslave the people of Goguryeo."
"This is the crux of the matter. The King of Goguryeo is not important, but the people of Goguryeo are important. Let the people of Goguryeo hear the voice of the Khan of Heaven. In this way, the people of Goguryeo know the Khan of Heaven, and there are officials from the Central Plains to govern. Only in this way can the disaster of Goguryeo be eliminated. .”
"Zhao Guogong didn't go to Goguryeo, so he didn't know the situation in Goguryeo, and he didn't know the hearts of the people of Goguryeo. Before he went to go to that barren land, they didn't know Tiankhan, and they were afraid of the King of Goguryeo and Yeon Gaesumun. They needed the saintly kindness of Tiankhan."
Zhang Da'an bowed and saluted, "I ask for your Majesty's decree to send religious personnel from the DPRK and Central China to educate the people of Goguryeo. Thousands of people in Goguryeo are looking forward to the Khan of Heaven to bring them stability and prosperity."
The words fell and echoed in the Tai Chi Hall for a long time.
This is the first time Zhang Daan has made a sound in the Taiji Hall, and it is also the first time this young minister has called the boss Sun Wuji.
This time everyone understood and didn't understand that the entire Ministry of Rites was challenging Changsun Wuji, Xu Jingzong, not to mention Zhang Daan?
Tang Shanshi, a member of the Zhongshu family, stood up from the court and said: "Your Majesty, what Zhang Shilang said is indeed true, but Zhao Guogong's policy is the safest. First of all, the King of Goguryeo has ruled Goguryeo for a long time. If the Tang Dynasty easily followed what Zhang Shilang said, If you say it, you will be criticized and judged by others."
Xu Jingzong also stood up and said, "Shanshi's words are inappropriate. How can Yue and his servants come to serve as agents? Goguryeo has been the land of the four counties of the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty."
"If something changes in Goguryeo, can your Ministry of Rites take responsibility?" Someone else stood up and said loudly to the class.
The two sides were arguing, and the guards in front of the palace came into the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the bones of the former Sui soldiers have arrived."
As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent.
The fight between the Ministry of Rites and Changsun Wuji was interrupted, and Li Shimin planned to see the bones of former Sui soldiers with his own eyes.
Li Shimin stepped out of the Tai Chi Hall, followed by the officials.
Outside Chang'an City, there was a solemn atmosphere, and the crowd looked at the numerous corpses in silence.
Carloads of corpses have long since rotted, their clothes are stained with carrion, and there are even many skeletons that are unbearable to look at.
Li Shimin closed his eyes when he saw this scene, silently faced the sky, and bowed in salute.
When the Khan saw the sky, he saluted, and all the ministers followed suit.
At this point, thousands of residents of Chang'an City followed suit and saluted.
No matter how unscrupulous Yang Guang was, these soldiers were all innocent. They fought for the Central Plains and fought hard for the Central Plains, regardless of their own safety.
These people are all heroes of the Central Plains and should be respected.
Thirty years have passed, their children have grown up, and their wives have become old women.
Suddenly, there was a howling sound from the crowd, and the sound of the howling was very heart-wrenching.
Tian Khan and his ministers stood solemnly in front of the carts of corpses until noon. Finally, he ordered a grand burial and compensation for the widow and her family.
Since then, a matter that started in the Sui Dynasty and that has been worrying everyone but dare not mention it has come to an end.
Afterwards, Li Yifu followed Xu Jingzong walking on Zhuque Street and asked, "Why has His Majesty been so slow to make a decision on how to deal with Goguryeo?"
Xu Jingzong sighed: "What Zhao Guogong said is all for the sake of the country."
Li Yifu bowed and said in salute: "I know very well that Xu Shangshu and Zhao Guogong are at odds, but now I can still speak like this. I admire you."
Later, Xu Jingzong said with a stern face: "The insistence of the Ministry of Rites is correct. In such a chaotic country, heavy codes should be used. Without heavy codes, this stubborn disease cannot be cured."
Li Yifu said in a low voice: "The lower official thought that he could secretly kill the King of Goguryeo first and force Duke Zhao to submit."
"Yifu." Xu Jingzong sighed.
"What do you think, Mr. Xu?" Li Yifu whispered.
Looking at him first, Xu Jingzong frowned and said: "When Zhang Shangshu was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, he once taught me that a person should do something in the world and not do something. You can do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, but you must have a conscience in your heart."
Li Yifu suddenly became solemn and said, "I will keep this in mind."
"He who harms others will harm himself. Have you seen the director of the Hongwen Museum?"
Xu Jingzong looked at a figure in front of him and raised his chin, indicating something.
Li Yifu whispered: "What Shilang Xu means is..."
"This is the head of Hongwen Hall, and he has harmed many people."
