Chapter 898 The Confident Li Zhi

Among Li Zhi, Wu Mei, and Li Hong, the one who has the most confidence in Yunchu is not Li Hong, but Li Zhi himself.

"When he was teaching you, did he do those strange things?"

Li Hong looked back at his mother's table case, and happened to see a soft bamboo ruler, so he casually put half of the bamboo ruler on the table case, took a tangerine sent by Yunchu, and lightly touched it. If you smash it, the bamboo ruler will be dropped.

Neither Li Zhi nor Wu Mei asked any questions. They knew that things should not be so simple. Sure enough, Li Hong put the ruler on the table again, covered the other half with a piece of white paper, and let go of the orange again. When the bamboo ruler was dropped, it bounced on the bamboo ruler and fell to the ground. The white paper on the bamboo ruler only shook violently, then calmed down, and the bamboo ruler stopped shaking.

After Wu Mei did this little experiment about atmospheric pressure, she got the same answer and said to Li Hong, "Why?"

Li Hong said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that there is a secret about air in it."

Wu Mei was obviously very interested in these strange things, but Li Zhi said disapprovingly: "The pulley block is a craftsman's knowledge, and the knowledge that the ruler does not fall to the ground seems to have nothing to do with governing the country. This is not the knowledge that the royal family should learn.

Yunchu has done a good job, these knowledge only let you understand, that’s enough, as for the "Political Economy" is the royal knowledge that is in line with the prince, the rest is just a small way, not worth mentioning, Xianer, Daner It doesn't matter if you don't study. "

Wu Mei frowned and said, "They're all good at learning."

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said, "Are you going to let Xian'er, Dan'er learn these knowledge to build a city, or are you going to let him do civil engineering for Datang?

Yan Liben was ashamed of being too famous for his paintings, so why don't you let the prince run a cheap business?
Instead of letting them spend a lot of time learning this, it is better to send them to the mansion of King Ji Lishen to learn how to carve, that at least sounds more elegant. "

Wu Mei felt that Li Zhi's words were very reasonable, so she gave up on it. Li Hong originally wanted to explain a few words to the master, but for some reason, she also closed her mouth, which was regarded as acquiescing to her father's opinion.

Li Zhi seemed to understand Li Hong's thoughts, so he said with a smile: "Learn literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, we are the harvesters, the users, not the ones who do things by ourselves.

You are still young now, and you don’t know that a person’s energy is limited. You always want to be able to do all kinds of things. In fact, it’s already great if we can do one thing well in our whole life.

If you should give up, you must give up. Your current age is just at the age when you should know how to give up. "

Li Hong nodded, expressing that he was educated. However, he still regretted Li Xian's choice. Perhaps, being able to go to Yun's to study could be the happiest time in a prince's or princess's life.

After Li Hong left with Li Xian, Li Zhi said to Wu Mei: "Do you understand now?"

Wu Mei smiled and served tea to Li Zhi: "Yun Chu's knowledge seems to be great, but it's just art."

Li Zhi smiled while enjoying the tea offered by Wu Mei.

"As long as it is a technique, no matter how powerful it is, I can tolerate it. This thing is only good for my Tang Dynasty, and there is no harm. The art of millet, or the art of weaving a piece of cloth in a day, even the art of gunpowder, which can break mountains and rocks, I can tolerate it."

When Wu Mei heard the words, she immediately heard something different from the emperor's mouth, and immediately asked, "Did Yunchu make the gunpowder?"

Li Zhi smiled and said: "What do you think?"

Wu Mei immediately said: "So, the Xianyang Bridge bombing was also caused by him?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's right."

Wu Mei said again: "Is he also responsible for the murder of the Tubo envoy?"

Li Zhi took a sip of tea and said, "Of course."

"Your Majesty knew about it a long time ago?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's right."

"Why didn't His Majesty ask Yun Chu?"

Li Zhi laughed and said, "My eyes and mouth are covered by the secret formula of gunpowder."

"So, wouldn't the laws of the Tang Dynasty become a trifling matter?"

Li Zhi put down his teacup and spread his hands, "There is no one to suffer, how do you ask me to punish the crime?"

Wu Mei sighed and said, "This is no joke..."

Li Zhi said lightly: "Forget about this..."

It took Wu Mei a long time to say: "Your Majesty has treated Yun Chu Yourong too much."

Li Zhi half-closed his eyes and said: "If there is another character like this in my Tang Dynasty, I will be even more graceful."

Wu Mei knew that this was what Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui did in Hedong, which gave the emperor the ambition to control the world, and at the same time, he was a little more tolerant towards those talented people.

Just like Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, sang "Great Wind Song" at the banquet after he ruled the world.

Pei Xingjian sat in Weizhou and disarmed the Weizhou government soldiers. Now Weizhou is calm and calm. The officials sent by the emperor are taking over Weizhou safely. The re-division of the land is in full swing. There is no one who does not speak well of the emperor.

After Xue Rengui discarded the big burden of the emperor, he also marched into Bozhou, exactly the same as Pei Xingjian did in Weizhou. He disarmed Bozhou, and the officials sent by the emperor became more and more experienced. In the event of earth-shattering events, the people were not in a panic. Not only did the division of the big family go smoothly, but there was nothing wrong with the extermination of the wealthy family.

Although the work of the mutual aid group is lagging behind, compared with the people-friendly business carried out by Li Si leading a large group of shopkeepers, the officials in the court seem to not know how to deal with these poor people who have just been allocated land.

Seeing that the weather was getting warmer, Li Zhi was about to set off towards Mount Tai to continue his ceremony of enshrining Zen.

This time, the emperor planned to go directly to Yanzhou. When he arrived in Yanzhou, he also arrived in Qufu. From Qufu, he crossed Mount Tai in Surabaya.

From Puyang to Yanzhou, there are two big lakes in the middle, one is Juyeze and the other is Dongping Lake. The ancient Liangshan is in the middle of these two big lakes. If the emperor wants to go to Yanzhou, Liangshan is the only way to go.

In Datang, as long as there are big lakes, big lakes, and big mountains, there must be strong beams entrenched in them.

Yunchu doesn't care about these people, and the scouts in the army can kill them all. The problem is that the current Qiangliang is probably not a Qiangliang in the ordinary sense. After countless powerful families join, Qiangliang will really become very powerful powerful.

Yunchu couldn't figure it out. When he was in the rear army, he needed to guard the emperor's rear carefully. When the emperor came to his army, he should have been in the middle army. Xue Rengui should have become the rear army. The inspection must be the former army, responsible for clearing all obstacles in the emperor's way.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was so confident now that he directly split Yunchu's army into three parts, one part was the front army, the other was the middle army, and the other was the rear army.

He felt that relying on the 8 people in his hands, he could go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen in a big way.

Yun Chu sent three memorials in a row to ask the emperor to be cautious, at least stay in Puyang for a while longer, and it would not be too late to go to Yanzhou after the things in Weizhou and Bozhou were over.

The memorial was kept by the emperor.

Yunchu also suggested that the army should go to Puzhou, pass through Fanxian County, pass through Yanggu, Dong'e, and enter Jeju City. In this way, they can always echo with Pei Xingjian in Weizhou and Xue Rengui in Bozhou. And after arriving at Jeju City, it can be on the same level as Pingyin, Feicheng, and Mount Tai. It should be the best road to Mount Tai.

The memorial was still rejected by the emperor. Yunchu didn't know what the emperor was going to do. He insisted on going to the city of Yuncheng, Liangshan, and Pinglu, which were all over the place, and then into Yanzhou. Because the road to pass Juyeze and Dongping Lake has become more difficult.

On the last day of February, Yun Chu, who became the commander-in-chief of the army again, had to lead the army to set off for Puzhou.

In March, it was raining continuously in Puzhou. Yunchu wore a poncho and rode a horse and marched eastward with difficulty under the guard of the brigade's pro-army. The armor on his body absorbed a lot of moisture and became much heavier. The most terrible thing was the bowstring , the crossbow strings were damp, and had to be replaced every four hours.

8 people are struggling on a dilapidated official road. After being soaked in rain, this kind of dirt road is basically turned into a muddy quagmire by the trucks ahead.

The emperor's huge Luanjia turned into a four-wheeled carriage produced by Chang'an. Yunchu didn't dare to let the emperor's new Luanjia out of his sight. Every half an hour, he would send army Sima to the emperor to greet him.

With muddy ground, many people, many horses, many vehicles, and the continuous spring rain, the army set off in the early morning and walked for four hours before they could barely walk forty miles. And this, Yunchu was already very satisfied.

Compared with yesterday's twenty miles, today is considered smooth.

Wearing a battle armor, Li Hong always wanted to walk in the forefront and be the vanguard of his father, but Yun Chu sternly rejected him. With Wen Rou as the vanguard, Li Hong's going would only drag Wen Wen down.

Among the three armies, the vanguard is the most tired. Yun Chu led the Chinese army to the camp that Wenrou's vanguard camp had set up. Go, it is a [-]-mile no-man's land, and Juyeze is right in front.

Juyeze is the result of the flooding of the Yellow River. This large lake is not exactly a large lake. It should be described as a swamp more appropriately.

It would be a good idea to pass through here in the cold winter, because after the ground is frozen, it is convenient for vehicles and horses to walk. Now the land has melted long ago, and there is still continuous spring rain, which is a serious test for Yunchu's army. up.

Gently wiped the rain from his face and said softly: "Your Majesty, are you going to the Kong family in Qufu?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, Kong Zhiyue, the patriarch of the Kong family, is in the army. If you want to deal with the Kong family, it is enough to send a general. There is no need to suffer in this muddy place."

Rourou's eyes lit up suddenly, she looked at Yunchu strangely and said, "Tell me, is Your Majesty going to experience a battle in person?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty takes his life very seriously."

Gentlely shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's Luanjia arrived at the camp one step ahead of you. I saw that His Majesty was wearing a golden armor, and he was so imposing. It was the giant bear beside him, covered in mud, so dirty that he was about to die .”
