Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

"Kang Lei, do you want to go to school?"

It was Li You who spoke.

Then Li You turned his head to look at Dou Xiaochen and said, "There is also Cousin Dou, do you want to go to school?"

Hearing this, before Dou Xiaochen could react, Dou Dan had already agreed for him.

"Go, of course I will."

"If this kid hadn't returned to his hometown before, my uncle would have come to look for you a long time ago."

"But I heard that Xinxue is already on vacation, so I didn't come to see you."

Then, Dou Dan told Li You something that surprised him greatly.

That is Li You's new learning, and it has become a favorite in the eyes of many dignitaries in Chang'an.

The cause of the matter has to start with the final exam and the independent choice incident not long ago.

In the final exam this time, Xinxue eliminated a total of ten students, and except for these ten students, all the students who passed the exam chose to stay and continue their studies.

This surprised many people who thought that the new society would be unsustainable after half a year.

They began to re-examine the new learning, and began to understand the changes in these teenagers in the past six months.

After learning about it, Xinxue became the hottest topic in Chang'an aristocratic circles.

Most of these people who discussed the new learning were heroes who followed Li Tang to fight in the country, and most of them came from reckless backgrounds, if not they were all from poor families.

Although they are in high positions now, they lack the foundation of the family.

This kind of foundation is not only reflected in the family power, but also in the training system for the family's children.

These dignitaries all have a unified characteristic. These people have one or two children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen in their families.

And these children also have a unified characteristic, that is, they are all very provocative, and it can be said that all of them are thorns.

This group of teenagers messed around all day long, causing their parents to suffer a lot.

Some parents want to send them to the Imperial College, but because they are ignorant, even if they are really sent in, they will be expelled within a few days.

There are also some people who became officials under the shade, and became officials in the court.

But in the end, it just caused more trouble.

So before they were a little older, although these powerful people suffered a lot, they could only endure it silently.

However, the emergence of new learning gave them a glimmer of hope to get rid of the current predicament.

The two children of Cheng Yaojin's family, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, let them see this hope.

Originally, these two people were also the best of this group of thorns, but after entering the new school under the pressure of Cheng Yaojin, these two people have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past six months, the two of them have almost disappeared from the rumors in the market, and the occasional news is Cheng Yaojin's praise of them.

The most interesting thing to talk about happened not long ago.

One day Cheng Yaojin was in a good mood and was going to take his two sons out hunting as a reward for his serious study.

However, his kindness was rejected by Cheng Chumo and the others on the grounds that they did not want to skip class.

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback by his son's refusal.

But Cheng Yaojin deserves to be called a talent. After being rejected by his son, he unexpectedly appeared in an incomprehensible "coquettish operation".

Since the son is unwilling to accompany his father to hunt, then the father should accompany his son to school.

So on this day, Cheng Yaojin accompanied the two of them to school for a day.

I don't know what happened that day, anyway, since that day, Cheng Yaojin always looks complacent no matter who he sees.

Everyone who met would say that it was a blessing for the parents that their son could go to the new school, which made those whose children failed to enter the new school feel itchy.

Later, everyone heard that the down jackets and cotton padded jackets that made a lot of noise in winter were made by the workshop jointly opened by Feng Shaoshi's daughter Feng Baobao because of her excellent performance in the new school.

This made many children from aristocratic families with their own ideas want to enter it and show their talents.

If not, Li You has been retreating at home recently, perhaps the threshold of Prince Yan's Mansion will be broken by these dignitaries.

After listening to Dou Dan's words with great interest, Li You also showed a gratified smile on his face.

Originally, Li You was still worried about whether the recruitment of new students in the next semester would be smooth, but judging from the current situation, perhaps controlling the scale is the most difficult thing to do.

Kang Jie on the side was also very curious about what he heard.

He had also heard a little about Chang'an's new learning, but he didn't expect it to be so interesting.

He quickly patted Kang Lei and said, "Now the King of Yan has given you this opportunity to learn, and you still don't thank me!"

Kang Lei had a good idea, but when he heard that he could go to school with Dou Xiaochen, he immediately agreed.

Afterwards, everyone went to the Food City, and Kang Jie was even more amazed by Fairy Bei's cooking skills.

After this incident, Yan Liben's survey work in the two fang cities became smoother, and Kang Jie's people also changed from passive cooperation to active participation, and soon a design sketch appeared in Li You in front of the eyes.

One day, Li You was studying the design of Fangshi, when Sakura suddenly came to report that the emperor had summoned him.

Li You stood up and shook his head, but he didn't think about what Li Shimin was looking for him this time.

"Did anyone say anything?"

But Sakura shook her head.

Li You looked at Yu Huatian at the side again and said, "Has anything major happened recently?"

Yu Huatian thought for a while and said: "There is indeed a major event. Master Liang was defeated and was beheaded by his uncle and brother Liang Luoren."

"But the prince said before that there is no need to tell you specifically, so we didn't report it."

"Other than that, nothing really happened."

After asking around, there was still no result, so Li You had no choice but to get up and follow the eunuch to see Li Shimin.

It was obvious that Li Shimin was in a good mood now, and when he saw Li You coming over, he immediately handed him a battle report with a smile.

"You'er, this time your Aunt Chai won a complete victory, and Su Dingfang, who was recommended by you, made a great contribution. You have a share of the credit for pacifying Master Liang!"

Although he already knew the result, Li You was still a little excited.

He finally read the battle report again, and soon discovered the bright spots.

That is, the Tang army won the battle with almost zero casualties.

It turned out that after the defeat of Jieli Khan, the Tang army besieged Shuofang City but did not attack it. They adopted Su Dingfang's strategy and used psychological warfare to coerce the city.

But for more than ten days, the city couldn't bear it anymore.

After Shuofang's victory, Li Shimin immediately came up with the idea of ​​East Turkic Jieli Khan.

Now Chai Shao and Xue Wanche's army is in Shuofang, and Li Jing's army is also on the border, ready to attack East Turks at any time.

Coupled with Li Daozong, Li Ji and others who had been transferred to the border defense state capital before, they were fully prepared to attack the East Turks at this moment.

However, soldiers and horses moved ahead without moving food and grass, and multiple armies acted at the same time, which put a huge pressure on the treasury.

Before summoning Li You, Li Shimin had already summoned Liu Yijie, Minister of the Taifu Temple, to understand the situation.

With the current national power of the Tang Dynasty, although it can support this war, it is undoubtedly a big gamble.

Therefore, according to Liu Yijie's opinion, he felt that he could wait another year, when the Tang Dynasty had a strong army, why not be afraid of the Turks being immortal.

However, the opportunity was right in front of him, and Li Shimin didn't want to wait any longer.

He suddenly remembered what Li You said before in a flash of inspiration.
