Don't be a prince

In fact, Zhang Liang is a pretty good guy. Although he came from an ordinary background, at least until now, his loyalty is pure and rare in the court.Such a man, if he could avoid a tragic fate, did not know what it would be like.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian sighed and said: "It's about Yungong's family affairs, so I shouldn't talk too much. If Yungong's former wife doesn't obey women's morals, it's not a big deal even if you reconcile with her. But, you just because Small bickering, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Li is good at flattery, just doing such a thing, the reputation is still not good. Judging from the current situation in the court, it is a trend that military veterans will slowly transfer to civilian positions. Sooner or later you It will also reach the first level of Shangshu. In this way, you have to pay attention to wind reviews.

Besides, Zhang Wei is studying in the academy now.People who have already married, mixed with a group of children and still do not change their heart to learn, is what the father admires.Anyway, he is your eldest son, if you know about the divorce of your biological mother, how would you feel about it?Or, are you going to pass the title to Li's son?The laws of our Tang Dynasty do not allow it!Now that you are still strong, if one day you are relieved of your errands, tsk tsk, I don't know what Zhang Yi will do! "

"This...."

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, and found out that this was really the case.When I reconciled with my wife at the beginning, it was just a moment of anger.Later, I regretted it when I thought about it, but I didn't go down the steps, so I always left it behind.Now being instructed by the prince, he immediately woke up.Yeah, who hasn't grown old yet?After all, his title belongs to Zhang Wei. If his son turns against him at that time, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?Although it is nothing to a man to like the new and dislike the old, it is a bad reputation after all.I am a reckless person, and I have no regrets in this life to be able to join the ranks of Shangshu. If I want the Zhang family to occupy a place in the Tang Dynasty, I really have to pay attention to my own reputation!

Standing still and cupping his hands, Zhang Liang sighed and said, "Hearing what your Highness said, I feel like I'm being overwhelmed. Your Highness is right, Zhang Liang was blinded by lard, and now his wife, Mrs. Zhang, is still in Dengzhou. , when I go back, I will definitely invite her back to the mansion!"

Seeing that his words worked, Li Chengqian smiled in satisfaction and said nothing more.Sometimes, a person's fate can be changed easily. Maybe it's just a choice at an intersection, or it's just a momentary feeling that makes a completely different choice than usual.However, there is a prerequisite for such a change, that is, to know the context of the development of the matter. If you don't know it, only God can change the status quo.

Sitting on a bench made of logs by the roadside, Li Chengqian crossed his legs, enjoying the sunshine.

French mathematician Pierre Simon Laplace put forward a scientific hypothesis: "We can regard the present state of the universe as its past effect and future cause. If a wise man can know the cause of all natural movements at a certain moment Forces and positions of all the objects of nature, if he can also analyze these data, the motion of the largest object in the universe to the smallest particle will be contained in a simple formula. For this wise man, nothing will be ambiguous. Yes, and the future will only appear to him like the past."

The "sage" in the later hypothesis was nicknamed Laplace's demon by people. Simply put, "Laplace's demon" knows the exact position and momentum of every atom in the universe, and can use Newton's laws to show the entire universe of events. process, past and future.It is an existence with the ability to deduce the past and predict the future.

However, Li Chengqian doesn't think he is a "Laplace demon". In comparison, he is more like a tourist in the chaotic time, or an actor who plays on the spot. Through the change of acting skills, let the boring performance have more changes.

Recalling what he has been doing since he appeared in the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian is even less sure about what will happen in the future.If a fluttering moth in South America can cause a storm in other places, his variable existence, coupled with this series of changes like the wings of a kunpeng, it is really impossible to predict what will happen in the future Yes.

Perhaps, from now on, shouldn't I abandon the things I remember in my mind and start living as a time experiencer?

When thinking about problems, he will forget the change of time, this is a habit that Li Chengqian can never get rid of.So when he struggled out of his contemplation, what he saw was his study.The sun had already set, and the room was full of candles, which illuminated almost no blind spots. The bench I was sitting on just now was brought back by Zhang Liang and others.On the opposite side, Changsun and others were sitting on chairs in a row, looking at him worriedly.

"what happened?"

Seeing him speak, Changsun and the others breathed a sigh of relief.Zhang Liang even knelt down on one knee with a dark face: "It's the last general's ineffective defense that caused His Highness to be corrupted by evil spirits. Please forgive me!"

Looking at the Taoist priest with oil-stained taoist robes on one side, Li Chengqian didn't know what happened.

With a light cough, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Where did the evil spirit come from? It's because he thought too deeply about the problem of solitude. If I insist, it is similar to Buddhist meditation. Next time you encounter such a situation, just wake up the solitude directly. There is no need for such a big fanfare.”,

Su Yuan, who was sitting next to the eldest grandson, also said helplessly: "I told the queen mother about your problem, but the queen mother didn't want to believe it. You are also true. You used to think about things in the East Palace study. Why are you outside now? Just want to go to work? I didn't even know that my relatives and others were carrying the wooden chair back, and even my concubine was taken aback!"

Standing up from the wooden chair, my buttocks are numb and my waist hurts a bit, but these are not important, the most important thing now is to start to solve the bladder problem.

After rushing out of the house, just after the river poured down in the courtyard, while wearing his trouser belt and looking up at the stars all over the sky, Li Chengqian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.

Acting according to the script is really boring. The charm of life lies in uncertainty. Since I have messed up the established history like this, I can only welcome it bravely.He lived a little useless in his previous life, but in this life, he must live his mlgb's wonderful life!

Chapter 3 Fifty Zhang Liang Who Didn't Sleep All Night....

Although Zhang Liang's episode sounded, Fang Yu's wedding was still held as scheduled.From the guests at the wedding banquet, it can be seen that Fang Yu is quite popular with the people of Yanzhou.The gifts brought by the folks are very simple, either a basket of eggs or a bag of grain, these things are recorded on the gift list, and the next quarter of an hour they become food and bring them to the table.

Ordinary people's wedding day basically follows this pattern. As long as it is not an annoying person, the surrounding folks will help and try to make the wedding more lively. When they get married, the neighbors around will still help.Man is a social creature, and it is by helping each other that his fragile body can change from being a meal for wild beasts to being at the top of the food chain.

The eldest grandson was very interested in this matter, not only attended the wedding, but also rewarded the bride with a piece of jewelry.At this moment, people who originally thought that the governor's marriage to a commoner's daughter would be a drop in price all envied him and wished he could grab that piece of jewelry.

For Fang Yu, the governor, it was a great thing to have Zhang Liang, the prince of the state, attend the wedding, not to mention the luxurious lineup of the prince, king of Wei, and queen.Although an ordinary marriage is nothing to him, it is almost the only time in life, and it is surprising to be able to live like this.

After Fang Yu's wedding was over, Li Chengqian had no reason to stay in Yanzhou. He immediately re-entered the Yellow River and headed for Dengzhou by boat under the escort of the Xiangzhou government soldiers and the Donghai Navy.

"I have to admit that the soldiers of the East China Sea Navy are much more proficient in navigating warships than ordinary boatmen. Even some people who were seasick a few days ago have been relieved."

Standing on the deck of the naval warship, Li Chengqian expressed emotion.

I have to admit that there are specialties in the art industry, and the sailors and soldiers who are used to chopping the waves and riding the wind in the sea are far beyond the reach of ordinary boatmen.

Zhang Liang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If His Highness praises them, these guys will probably die of joy. But it's just like this. Our Tang Dynasty doesn't pay much attention to combat power at sea. Devotion is only the most basic. In fact, sailors and soldiers are no different from government soldiers. They are fishermen by the sea on weekdays. Unless they are summoned by humble officials, they will gather together as the East Sea Navy.

If you put it in the past, there are not only Koreans harassing the Dengzhou sea area, but also Silla, Baekje, and even the Japanese country. However, since the collapse of the Eastern Turks, their harassment has disappeared. Otherwise, there are a large number of standing troops every year. The only ones damaged in the battle are the navy family! "

Li Chengqian nodded, as if he recognized Zhang Liang's words.Since the establishment of Datang, it has basically always won in large-scale wars.Whether it is Western Turks, Gaochang, or Tuyuhun, there are too many countries on land that can be conquered.As a result, the imperial court and even the generals of the military did not pay much attention to the sea.China's maritime capabilities were truly demonstrated for the first time, but it was late in the Zheng He period.

However, even Zheng He sailed with the so-called "friendly" purpose. After spreading the goodwill of the Central Plains to all directions and bringing back a boatload of local products, there was nothing left.In comparison, the voyages of Columbus and others were much more realistic. After discovering the New World, they never thought about establishing diplomatic relations, but started emigrating directly.

When scholars of later generations praised Zheng He's voyages to the West, they naturally began to criticize the barbarism of Columbus and others.But the problem is, savages eat meat, but polite ones can only eat the smallest pears!

In the cabin, Li Tai came out rubbing the dark circles under his eyes. Seeing the dazzling sunlight outside, he sneezed several times.

After a smooth sigh, Li Tai immediately put on a close smile, walked to Zhang Liang's side without hesitation and said, "Mr. Yun, I needed your advice before, and I also feel that the distribution of cabins is a little bit different." Question, this time an adjustment has been made, and the location of the attack has been rearranged, can you help me take a look?"

Li Tai is like this, as long as others know the answer that he is interested in, he will come forward and "shamelessly ask", without moral integrity.At least, other princes can't do such a thing as pouring tea for Zhang Liang.

After receiving the teacup from Li Tai, Zhang Liang was overwhelmed by the flattery. He immediately forgot his excuses, and directly picked up Li Tai's drawing and began to analyze it for him.There is still a reason to specialize in the art industry. Although it is difficult for Zhang Liang to build a ship, he still knows every corner of the ship after so many years of life on the ship.Only real "users" can make truly suitable suggestions.

Without disturbing Li Tai's discussion with Zhang Liang, Li Chengqian also returned to his cabin to design his own ship.It's not the same as Li Tai's pragmatism. He prefers to be unconstrained, and refers too much to Zhang Liang's suggestions. Isn't the ship actually designed by Zhang Liang?

Although he knew that the ship he designed would have shortcomings, Li Chengqian was not going to modify it.A ship with defects is one's own ship.As for whether the defect will cause problems.....

After designing the baffles on the ship's side and designing the protective houses for individual soldiers, Li Chengqian felt that even if there were defects, the enemy might not have time to search for them.Before looking for a flaw, it's better to hide in a firmer place with your head in your arms.

After entering the Yellow River channel, because it is going downstream, the speed of the fleet is much faster.Sitting on a boat, even in the Tang Dynasty, still feels a little like sailing on land.The channel of the Yellow River has reached here, and it is obviously higher than the land level.Although the vegetation in the Yellow River Basin has not been destroyed on a large scale, and the imperial court has issued a ban on grazing and logging, there will still be some problems. The only difference from before is that perhaps until the After 1000 years, the Yellow River will not be raised too high, at least it will not become a river in the sky.

When he was doing some dangerous side jumping with Su Yuan on the bed in the cabin, Li Chengqian suddenly felt a jolt of the boat and an obvious acceleration.When the boat calmed down again, Li Chengqian stood up excitedly, and while helping Su Yuan get dressed, he said anxiously: "Quick, let's get out, the boat should have entered the sea!"

Hearing this, Su Yuan also became excited.However, the more hurried you are, the more difficult it is to do things. The light green bra can't be fastened no matter what.

Seeing Su Yuan sweating anxiously, Li Chengqian snickered, so he went on to help her.

After finally getting dressed, the two of them got out of the cabin, and when they went out, they saw the eldest grandson who had just walked out of the cabin.

The jolt just now made the eldest grandson very uncomfortable, and he felt numb, so he had to go out for a walk.

Seeing Su Yuan's sweaty face, the eldest grandson's mouth curled up, but seeing her relaxed steps, he frowned again.

Li Chengqian, who clearly sensed his eldest grandson's thoughts, had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "Mother, we should have entered the sea now, and you came out just in time, let's go out and have a look together."

"Into the sea?"

Hearing this news, the eldest grandson immediately became interested again, and was about to run outside, frightening Li Chengqian.Su Yuan and Ziyan rushed over to support her.

At this time, the wide deck is full of people. Almost 90.00% of the inland people in this era have no chance to see the sea in their lifetime, even if their eldest grandson is a queen.

Li Tai also jumped up and down, seeing his eldest grandson coming out, he hastily flattered him with the protective fence he had built earlier in the morning, and asked his eldest grandson to go there to watch the sea.

Seeing that the eldest grandson was being looked after by Li Tai, Li Chengqian walked to the side of the boat to admire it.

It is afternoon, there is no mist in the morning, and there is no artistic conception of the sunset reflecting the sea, but looking at the wide sea is still refreshing.

There is a saying here that the end of the sea seen by the human eye is actually the sea more than seven kilometers away. However, one can still feel the vastness of the sea when one looks at the line of water and sky.

A gust of sea breeze is blowing, which is different from the land. Even though it is already autumn on the land, the sea breeze is still as usual, and it will not give people a cold feeling.What entered the nostrils was a salty fishy smell that was so light that it could hardly be smelled.

The fleet was driving on the sea surface, and the surrounding fish schools were swimming around, and some of them jumped out of the water in a hurry.Seeing Li Tai holding the net in both hands and drooling, Li Chengqian had no choice but to go up and kick him: "Don't think about it, sea fish is different from grass carp. Some taste bad, and some are even poisonous. It's better to go to the fishermen. Purchasing is better. As for crabs, we are at the seaside now, are we still worried that we don’t have enough to eat?”

Only then did Li Tai put down the net, and judged by the side of the boat that the fish would be delicious.When Li Chengqian saw him drooling at the dolphins, he had no choice but to turn his head away, unable to bear to watch.

The ocean in the Tang Dynasty was quite pleasing to the eye. Although there were a lot of rotten kelp and other sea vegetables piled up on the shore, it was still much more pleasing to the eye than bottles and cans.

This is a waste, so much kelp, if it is distributed throughout the Tang Dynasty, there will still be rumors like "big neck disease is terminally ill"?

After sailing on the coast for a whole afternoon, Zhang Liang anchored at a natural harbor in the evening.When the lights came on, Li Tai still haunted him. Facing a prince who was deeply loved by the emperor, Zhang Liang could hardly feel bored, so he had to keep contributing his knowledge.

After finally satisfying Li Tai's desire to learn, Zhang Liang stepped on the moonlight to Li Chengqian's side to make a routine report.

"Your Highness, we are still four or five days away from Dengzhou. If it is feasible, Weichen's suggestion is to switch to land tomorrow, at sea. Although Korea and other countries basically dare not disturb our Tang Dynasty now, but there is such a thing. The possibility exists, I still don't want to let you and the empress take risks."

Beckoning, Zhang Yun came over with a hurricane lamp and handed over a map.

Although he had already read it when he was in Chang'an, when he saw the detailed map in Zhang Liang's hand, Li Chengqian couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Damn, it’s all right if my aggressive “chicken head” is taken over, why is the “chicken neck” taken over so badly?

Although he knew that it was a bit stupid to substitute the "960 million square kilometers" of later generations into the Tang Dynasty, but Li Chengqian couldn't help being angry at Kumoxi, Khitan, Baiyu and the like, as well as the bastard Goryeo.

Now it's just out of the Yellow River, if you continue to approach Dengzhou, you will basically hit Korea.Dalian in later generations is now the territory of Korea, facing Yantai and Weihai across the sea.As for the Bohai Sea, there is no mark of Tang Dynasty imprinted on it, and it is considered to be shared by Datang and Koryo.

This...fucking hell!

Throwing the map aside in resentment, Zhang Liang's heart skipped a beat, and a tiger pounced on it, saving the most detailed map in time.

After a long sigh of relief, Li Chengqian said, "Forget it, let's go overland tomorrow. Even if the probability is just in case, the queen mother cannot be put in danger. Zhang Liang, I have one question for you alone, and you must answer it truthfully."

Sensing the seriousness in the prince's words, Zhang Liang quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness asks, and Zhang Liang will answer truthfully."

"How many people are there in Goryeo's navy? How many ships?"

"This...."

"Ok?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there are about [-] warships in Goryeo, but most of them make up the numbers, and the ones with real combat power are only [-]. The navy has a total of more than [-] people. This is the number of spies who came out before the fall of Tuyuhun. How many there are now, I don't know."

Nodding his head, Li Chengqian said: "Since they can reach [-], it means that the establishment is almost fixed. Even if there is an increase, it will not be too much. Alright, go back to your boat."

Zhang Liang got up and looked at the prince who entered the cabin in confusion.He didn't understand why the prince asked this. Could it be that the prince was going to attack the navy of Goryeo?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Liang wanted to laugh at his wild thoughts, but when he thought of what the prince had done in Zhengzhou and Bianzhou in the rumors, he was shocked immediately.

This... is really possible!Think about the invincible warship that the prince and the king of Wei want to build. Could it be that these two people plan to go to war against Goryeo?This won't work, even if the prince has the emperor's will to "do things cheaply" in his hands!Going to war against a country, even if the opponent is a country like Goryeo, is not something that the emperor, or people other than the court as a whole, can decide on their own, even if it is the prince!

With worries, Zhang Liang didn't sleep all night...

Early the next morning, taking advantage of the cold weather, Li Chengqian changed his morning exercise to swimming.Swimming from the boat to the shore, although he was escorted by six small boats and more than 200 people, the achievement of the prince was unanimously applauded by the generals of the navy.

After cleaning his body and putting on his clothes, he looked back at the position of the boat. Li Chengqian was still very satisfied with his physical fitness.After his leg was injured, it took him a long time to fully recover his physical fitness. Now that he is growing his body, it seems that his physical fitness is also increasing.This is good, even if you are a prince, you must have a good body.After all, relying on mountains and falling mountains, leaning on trees and decaying trees.No matter how many guards there are, they can't compare to my superb martial arts skills, and no matter how handsome a horse is, they can't compare to my abundant physical strength!

Chapter 351

Although Zhang Liang is the leader of the East China Sea Fleet, the ship is usually with people, but at this time, it is obviously not the time to follow the ship.He also swam ashore together, the generals of the Tang Dynasty, none of them wasted martial arts.Even Li Jing never lacks in daily morning exercises.

After putting on brand new clothes, Zhang Liang jumped on his horse and ordered to set off.

Lu Xun said that there are no roads in the world, and if there are many people walking, there will be roads.This sentence is used in Datang, and it is the most reasonable in real life.Because, no matter what the road is, it is based on convenience and speed.There was basically no market for cutting mountains and opening roads in later generations. Except for a few places such as the Shu Road, it is normal to walk around mountains and along water in other places.

As a result, it took a full seven days to arrive at Dengzhou after a journey of four or five days.

Not long after entering the country, Hong Ling hurried over.

The middle-aged knight was very good at equestrianism. Before the horse stopped, he jumped off the horse. He only rolled twice when he landed, and lost his strength.Kneeling down on the side of the road, he said anxiously: "Duke Yun, His Royal Highness, Chang'an urgent message!"

Zhang Yun stepped forward to take the letter, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it over to the prince.

After receiving the letter, Li Chengqian took a lot of determination to open it to have a look.According to the emperor's temperament, it is estimated that this letter is either criticizing him for being unfilial, or criticizing him for what he did this time.

Zhang Yun had more than one letter in his hand, probably from his eldest grandson, and from Li Tai.He didn't intend to peep, but seeing Zhang Yun delivering the letter, Li Chengqian opened his letter and read it.

Surprisingly, it was not the content of the criticism, but praised his previous actions, and even asked him to take good care of the queen. If possible, write him more letters to let him know that in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, each What's new here.

That's all....

"This old man, finally can't bear the loneliness?"

After talking to himself, he put the letter away, and Li Chengqian looked at Hongling urgently.

It is really not easy to talk about the ancient SF Express couriers. There are no vehicles, ships and planes, and only horses can be used as tools.Coming from Chang'an, you can't stop for too long along the way. Although you can overdraw your horsepower infinitely, you can get supplies in all state capitals, and rest in all official posts, but basically, everyone is desperately trying to speed up.

Just look at the courier now, the salt stains all over his body are almost scabbed, and his lips are chapped.Dengzhou did not find the prince and his party, and it is hard to find a group of people in this vast land.

He took it out of his sleeve and threw out a bulging money bag.After receiving the money bag, Hong Ling hurriedly cupped her hands with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

There is no need to open it, such a big money bag, even if it is full of copper coins, is still worth it, not to mention that Shen's pressing hand is obviously mixed with silver.

After getting off the horse, Li Chengqian asked: "Was it still you when sending the letter back? If so, then you go with Gu first, and you will take it back to Chang'an after we all finish writing the letter."

Hongling hurriedly cupped her hands and said: "Of course I will take it back, Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely send the letter back to Chang'an as quickly as possible!"

After confirming that this person delivered the letter, Li Chengqian returned to the horse.It is of course very good to be able to write letters slowly, so that many things can be explained clearly.Sending letters back at one time saves resources compared to sending letters here and there.

At night, when the team set up camp to rest, they could clearly feel the eldest grandson's mood jumping up.There is no doubt that the emperor must have written a nasty love letter.This is very good. Now that the two places are separated, the two of them can miss each other. Whoever thinks it is good. Once they meet again, it will not take long for the accumulated thoughts to be useless.

During dinner, Li Tai came over cautiously with his rice bowl, tugged at the corner of Li Chengqian's clothes and asked, "Brother Huang, I want to write back to my father and ask him for the proceeds of my fief. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Li Chengqian also whispered: "It depends on how you write it. If you simply write asking for money, it will definitely make your father unhappy, but if you find some reason to ask yourself for money It’s perfect when you become straight and confident.”

"Let's ask for money to be justified? Isn't that money originally mine?"

Seeing Li Tai's bewildered expression, Li Chengqian laughed. It's true that the money is his, but we have to see what the circumstances are.

"That's the reason, but think about it, if everyone knew that you asked for money to build warships, what would they think? Before us, there was a guy who built dragon boats and went to the south of the Yangtze River!"

Reminiscent of Emperor Sui Yang, Li Tai immediately shivered.Although he carelessly doesn't mind what other people think of him, it doesn't mean that he is willing to become Yang Guang in the eyes of others.

The food in the bowl suddenly tasted bad. Putting down the rice bowl, Li Tai decisively chose to ask for advice: "Brother Huang, what can you do, please tell me? Is there any way to make me feel confident in asking for money?"

Li Chengqian hooked his hands towards Li Tai, and whispered in his ear: "Naturally, it involves the people. Although you built the warship to satisfy your own wishes, after the warship is built, the first to benefit is Dengzhou and others." The people in the coastal areas suffered the most from the naval forces of Goryeo and other countries. Besides, the money is all yours, and you, Li Tai, spent your own money to strengthen the border defense of Datang Ocean, which is worthy of praise."
