Tang Dynasty Never Night

After Li Xian heard the news, he wished he could put on his battle armor and go straight to the battlefield. He was going to beat Gongyue!It doesn't matter how Princess Gongyue likes Zheng Qi, how dare she rob others anyway?Court death!

But his current body, after a set of swordsmanship, it takes a long time to breathe, and he doesn't know when he will be able to recover, how can he let him go to the battlefield?

After Li Xian's initial anger, he greeted Zheng Linjiang and Yang Shi, and the first words Yang Shi saw Li Xian were: "Your Majesty, you have to persuade Saburo not to be confused."

Although Yang is Zheng Qi's mother, she now feels that she doesn't know much about this son. At least she doesn't understand what Zheng Qi thinks. understand.

Yang originally thought that Zheng Qi would probably not agree to marry Gongyue's princess, but thinking about the fact that Gongyue would withdraw from the army if she proposed marriage, maybe Zheng Qi would agree?

Yang knows that Zheng Qi must have his own considerations for the Tang Dynasty, but if he becomes Gongyue's son-in-law, Zheng Qi will definitely not be able to stay in the Tang Dynasty. With Yang's only son, it is impossible to watch him leave his hometown. Gongyue, not to mention going to Gongyue, even if he is a son-in-law, what future is there?

Yang admitted that she was a selfish woman, but she was really reluctant to part with her son, so she came to beg Li Xian. The relationship between Li Xian and Zheng Qi, which she was reluctant to face up to before, reassured Yang a little at this time Some—I think His Royal Highness Shou Wang would not want Zheng Qi to be a son-in-law in the past.

Li Xian smiled slightly after hearing Yang's meaning: "Madam, don't worry, as long as you two don't nod, then Qingcheng won't be able to be Gong Yue's son-in-law."

After Yang heard this, she left in peace. Li Xian also smiled calmly in the palace. The princess would never want Zheng Qi to be her son-in-law!After all, getting married these days depends on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Even a saint and lady cannot be the master of Zheng Qi. Without him, Zheng Qi would still be a scholar-bureaucrat even if he went to lead the army.

As the empress, the only thing these two can do is to be a matchmaker, but if the two parents disagree, even the matchmaking may not be successful, of course, this possibility is not great.

After thinking about it, Li Xian went to the palace to find out about his parents. When Li Zhi saw him coming, he felt a headache and said, "Oh, I knew you would come."

Li Xian smiled and asked, "Father, how is the situation over there now?"

In fact, what Li Xian wanted to ask was whether Zheng Qi had gone to beat that Princess Gongyue back? !But thinking about it, the other party is probably a little girl before they get married, and maybe she was deceived by Zheng Qi's appearance. It's probably not good to be so mean to a little girl.So he held back.

Empress Wu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "General Zheng has already rejected the other party's marriage request, and the general's report has been submitted. It is estimated that the army will be mobilized soon."

Li Xian was instantly relieved, Empress Wu rolled her eyes and asked with a smile: "I heard that Princess Gongyue is also a rare beauty. If General Zheng really fell in love with her, what should I do?"

The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched and he glanced at Empress Wu. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the other party was telling the truth or teasing him. Li Xian's expression turned firm and he said firmly: "Take your wife before the battle, behead!"

This resolute and decisive look stunned Li Zhi and Empress Wu for a while, Li Zhi wiped his face and said: "Cough, I believe that General Zheng is definitely not a person who violates military discipline."

Li Xian almost spit out his saliva. Except in extremely serious formal occasions, he rarely called himself "I", and it was precisely because of this that he often gave Li Xian the feeling that he was a loving father. Now... this is another What's wrong?

Of course I was frightened by you. Li Zhi never thought that the innocent and gentle seventh son would have such a ruthless side. He really deserves to be the son of a lady. Li Zhi glanced at Empress Wu secretly, only to see Empress Wu smiling Looking at him, I couldn't help but straighten my expression and asked: "I heard that Qilang recently opened a Plum Blossom Academy?"

Li Xian was a little embarrassed after hearing this, and felt that it was time to change the name of this academy.Because this academy was founded by him, he must be the one who named it. Li Xian... Li Xian is such a useless person with limited ink in his belly, he thought about it for a long time and finally opened his mouth and came to Plum Blossom Academy.

Originally, he thought that those masters and the like would definitely find this name tacky, and then he could let everyone choose the name smoothly, but what he didn't expect was that these people would accept such a name meaninglessly.

Li Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Just do whatever you want when you have nothing to do."

Li Zhi is very interested, of course he is interested, no ruler would not be interested in education, the talents he needs must come from education, but the education system in this era is still relatively backward, and he can afford it There are too few people who study, and it's not that Li Zhi doesn't want to expand the scope of education, but this is unrealistic. Now that Li Xian is suddenly tossing about such an academy, he is naturally interested.

After hearing that there were many subjects offered in the academy, Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "You are really ingenious."

Li Xian said seriously: "In the eyes of the world, many jobs are low-level, but it is precisely because there are people who do such low-level occupations that we can do a good job in infrastructure construction. Dad also saw that merchants get more tax than ordinary people. With merchants paying taxes, the agricultural tax can be relaxed, people can recuperate better, encourage people to cultivate wasteland and farm, and even... can reduce hidden households. Although it cannot be completely avoided, it is always a good cycle, so my son feels that any kind of work cannot be underestimated."

The prejudices of the world cannot be changed, but the rulers of the country cannot also rule with this prejudice.

Li Zhi saw that there was no special expression on Li Xian's face and he was still kind. He nodded and said, "It's good that you can think of these things. Your body is not yet safe, so don't waste your energy too much."

Li Xian pursed his lips and smiled: "I just came up with random ideas, but in fact it's the invited masters who really do things."

Li Hong who was on the side had been listening quietly, at this moment he suddenly asked, "Why is Qilang named Plum Blossom Academy?"

I don't know where the plum blossoms are at this time of year. It is definitely impossible to name them according to the occasion.Li Hong didn't know why he asked such a question. He really wanted to know the situation of this academy, but Li Zhi had asked a lot just now. Ask about things you care about.

Yes, although Li Zhi asked many important points, those important points were not what Li Hong wanted to know. He really wanted to know... What is Li Xian's purpose for doing this?It is not uncommon for other people to sponsor orphans to go to school. This kind of thing is not uncommon in many aristocratic families. Everyone pays attention to good deeds, but Li Hong always feels... his younger brother is doing something different.

What's more, people's sponsorship for orphans to go to school is just money. His younger brother directly built an academy with a lot of money, which always seems strange.

If Li Zhi asked this question, Li Xian would definitely admit that he was uneducated and couldn't come up with a good name, and then he would be able to ask Li Zhi to give him a name. It is also a good thing for the academy to give a name by a saint.

But when he was in front of Li Hong, Li Xian didn't want to be short of him. He knew that both Li Hong and Li De were praised by the ministers for their high cultural accomplishments. He, Li Xian... probably was the one who didn't know much.

Li Xian looked at Li Hong and smiled slightly: "It means that the edge of a sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

In order to make himself look taller, Li Xian felt that he was working hard.

It's just that after he finished speaking, Li Zhi read the poem again and said appreciatively: "It's right to ask Qingcheng to be Qilang Wang Fu again. Qilang has worked hard recently, and these two sentences are good."

What?Li Xian was slow to realize that Li Zhi was praising him for writing these two poems well.

Empress Wu also smiled and said: "It's rare that Qilang can understand this meaning. It seems that he has really grown up."

Li Xian silently gave himself a slap in his heart, Nima, he had been careful not to quote words and sentences, but he didn't expect that poems would also be tricked!No matter how stupid he is now, he knows that these two lines of poems probably haven't appeared at this time, damn it, he was tricked again!

It's all the prince's fault!

Li Xian glanced at the prince resentfully, then bowed his head and said: "The children in the academy have all suffered hardships, and they probably understand the meaning of these two sentences better than my son."

Li Zhi nodded after hearing this, not knowing why he was so interested, he wrote down these two lines of poems and gave them to Li Xian, asking him to motivate the students in the academy.

Li Xian who was hung on the wall: ...

Holding his father's handwriting, Li Xian first asked someone to frame the words, then after thinking about it, he asked a craftsman to carve it into two vertical plaques to be hung at the entrance of the academy.Although plagiarism is bad, but these two poems really contain great truths. All successful people in this world have gone through countless setbacks and hard work. How much I have worked so hard in private, most people in the world only see their success, but always ignore their sweat.

These two lines of poems are used as warning lines, and they spread very quickly, and because the source of the spread is Plum Blossom Academy, and those two lines are written by Li Zhi, so most of them are regarded as uttered by saints , it was regarded as the standard for a while, and Li Xian had no intention of clarifying it at all.

Well, his father's skin is rough and thick, so it doesn't matter if he has such a halo, he doesn't need it. I didn't see that when he said these two sentences, Li Hong's eyes were nailed on him. Although from the expression point of view, Li Hong's expression can be put back to the gratified one, but Li Xian felt that this person would definitely not feel gratified.

It's just that no matter how low-key he is, in Li Hong's eyes, this younger brother will not kiss him anymore. Not only will he not kiss him, he may even be suspicious of him.That's right, he let the Tubo people get in touch with Liu Zhaoyi, and he was the one who gave that person a hint that he didn't want to keep Li Xian, but he never thought that Li Xian would be so fateful.

After this incident, Li Hong also felt a little lost. When Zheng Qi was his Prince Zhan, although he knew that Zheng Qi was talented, he didn't pay much attention to Zheng Qi. After all, he always had a vague feeling. Zheng Qi was too arrogant, what he thought at the time was that Zheng Qi was young, it was inevitable that he would be like this when he first entered the officialdom, and when he hit a wall in the future, it would be much easier to subdue him if he helped him again.

It's just that he never expected Zheng Qi to be so smooth, never encountered any problems, and he was so close to his younger brother.

Li Hong was also a little unbalanced. In terms of status, how could he not be much better than Li Xian?Zheng Qi is blind and insists on following Li Xian?

Li Hong let go of the Tubo people's conspiracy against his younger brother. He originally wanted to use this matter to suppress both younger brothers, but he didn't expect... It's too late to say anything now. Li Hong is thinking every day whether Li Xian will Team up with Li De to deal with him?And this academy...is it true that Li Xian is about to start cultivating his own power?

Even if those people are still young now, what about ten or twenty years from now?If these people can really occupy a place in the court by their own ability, then... Even if he takes that seat, I'm afraid it's not safe, right?

Thinking of this, Li Hong felt that it was difficult for him to fall asleep. At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly called him over and talked with him for a while. Anger made him want to yell, but he didn't dare.

Li Zhi told him that he is now the de facto eldest brother, he must have the bearing of a prince, be friendly to his siblings, and his siblings will be his right-hand men if they are capable, so don't push people away.

Li Hong had heard these great principles too much, but he didn't think so in his heart. Since ancient times, blood and bones had been accompanied by the struggle for the throne, even if his father could become the crown prince, it was not so easy.

If Li Xian and Li De were both concubines, Li Hong's pressure might not be so great, but they are both concubine brothers. The most important thing is... Empress Wu has already despised him, and his mother has the greatest influence on his father Deep, in case...

What should he do?Sitting in the study, Li Hong kept telling himself that he was still the prince, even though he kept telling himself to hold his ground. Father reminded him that he just wanted to keep him, but he was still flustered.

From the beginning to the end of Li Hong's crown prince, he didn't do much. It was all done by Empress Wu. He didn't experience too many setbacks. It was too difficult for him to be as stable as Mount Tai when he was surrounded by enemies.

Li Xian didn't know that Li Hong was in a mess. He was looking for something to do for himself. He knew Li Hong's role in this matter, but Li Hong still had Li Zhi backing him. No one could move him on the other side. In order not to mess up his steps, Li Xian needed to divert his attention.

Whether it's the royal family or the court, those who are happy and envious don't always live long. He managed to get his life back. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. What's more... Li Hong was going to die a long time ago. The dying man pays for himself.

What's more, he still has to worry about Zheng Qi now, he really can't wait to invent the telephone as soon as possible, the days of waiting for the military newspaper every day are too difficult-don't even think about the family letter, Zheng Qi is now the chief general, and his every move is being watched How can you write to yourself unscrupulously?

It's just that when he thinks about getting a phone call, he has to get out the generator first... Li Xian thinks he should give up this road.

If this path doesn't work, try another one!Build roads!

Underdeveloped transportation is also the biggest obstacle to communication delays, but road construction also costs a lot of money. After thinking about it, Li Xian thinks that it is also very good to use the plan of the later Huaxia. The country, province, town, and town build their own roads, and the funds come from taxation. They can even ask rich gentry to pay for road repairs, and allow them to collect tolls after the repairs are completed.

Li Xian changed it a bit. The administrative unit of Datang is different from that of Huaxia, so it was changed to Daozhou County, these three types.Road construction also depends on their respective economic conditions. After all, Li Xian can't force the whole country to make concrete roads, right?But the national highway must be turned into a concrete road!

Another problem is the official path. The privileges of officials in the feudal society can be reflected when they go out. Common people cannot follow the official path, so how to deal with this official path?Is it to separate it from the national highway?

From Li Xian's point of view, it doesn't really matter, even if you take the normal route, the prime minister is still the prime minister, right?But this idea likes all kinds of forms, otherwise why are the clothes of different classes different in color?Li Xian still didn't dare to challenge this class, so he decisively decided to separate. Anyway, how to design this route at that time is all a matter of planning, and it has nothing to do with him. He just proposed a plan.

Just when Li Xian started messing around with nothing to do, the news of Zheng Qi's great victory had already spread to Beijing.

Gong Yue was terrified of being beaten by him. His former ally Tubo withdrew his support long ago without leaving any trace, as if this matter had nothing to do with Tubo.

No matter how stupid King Gongyue was, he could see at this time that they were basically being used as guns by Tubo, so they resolutely admitted that surrendering is better than being destroyed. Datang has always been very kind to countries that surrender.

After the surrender, King Gongyue wrote a letter saying that he would enter the court with King Shule and surrender——after Gongyue defeated Shule, he controlled the Shule people and attacked Datang, and brought King Shule into the court to surrender It was also expressing their attitude. After all, Datang made the move because Shule asked Datang for help.

When Li Xian knew about it, a smile finally appeared on his face. Recently, he didn't eat well, sleep well, or even laugh a lot. The low pressure all over his body made Bai Hu more honest. Not to mention it was because of this, Those students in the academy really thought that Li Xian was a serious and upright person.

Li Xian was naturally happy after winning the battle, but what made him most happy was that Zheng Qi was coming back.This battle has been fought from autumn to winter, and it seems that the Chinese New Year is almost here, Li Xian was still worried that Zheng Qi would not be able to come back for the Chinese New Year, and he would suffer in the cold outside.

So ever since the day he heard the news, Li Xian had been looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to Zheng Qi's return, but judging from Zheng Qi's letter, he estimated that he would not be able to arrive in Chang'an until December. After all, he was with Gongyue and Shule. Messenger came together.

On the day Zheng Qi came back, he rode into the city on horseback. Li Xian wanted to go to the city gate to pick him up early in the morning, but when his carriage arrived there, he found that there were already crowds of people gathered there.

Li Xian: =口=What does this mean?

What else could it mean?The young general, well, he is not considered a young man anymore, but he is not very old, he is only 20 years old, he has been named a marquis by his own ability, and this time he led troops to defeat Gongyue. Such a person can easily become the girl Huaichun It's easy to become a boy's idol.

What's more, the legend of General Zheng's beauty is circulating in the capital, but it's not so easy to see it usually. After all, Chang'an City is so big, it's hard to see it now, why don't you come and watch it for fun?

It was almost noon when Zheng Qi rode into the city, and the onlookers who had been waiting all morning cheered loudly when they saw Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi is not from the royal family, so the people don't need to kneel down and salute when they see him.Li Xian's carriage was far away. He saw Zheng Qi riding on a black horse, wearing a silver armor and a bright red cape. He was so handsome that his heart melted. pounce on.

It's just that the distance was too far, and there were too many people watching, Zheng Qi didn't notice him, Li Xian went back to the palace with his head downcast, and only waited for the celebration banquet in the evening.

Before going to the celebration banquet, Li Xian dressed up well. Recently, because he was worried, he didn't pay attention. When he looked in the mirror, he found that he was a little thinner than when Zheng Qi left. He had to wear more clothes to keep himself up. Anyway, it was winter, wearing a dress inside and a white mink fur outside, he looked plump, but his little face betrayed him.

Li Xian seldom dressed up, but needless to say, his various accessories were considered top-notch. After careful matching, his overall beauty rose several points.

When he arrived at Linde Hall, Zheng Qi hadn't come yet, ahem... Huaxia has always liked to take a formality since ancient times, and Zheng Qi and others would bring Gongyue and the king of Shule in to salute.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that King Gongyue not only came by himself, but also brought his favorite jewel, that's right, the princess who threatened to make Zheng Qi her son-in-law.

When Li Xian found out, he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand! md, actually chased here!

In all fairness, Princess Gongyue looks pretty good. Although she is a little darker, she looks particularly energetic. She is heroic and has a wild beauty.

Everyone thought that the princess was fascinated by Zheng Qi's beauty, so they followed from a long distance, insisting that Zheng Qi be the son-in-law. Everyone looked at the princess and the princess with a mocking look. Zheng Qi.

It’s just for fun, I didn’t expect that King Gongyue did intend to get married, but he also made it very clear that his princess was unruly and self-willed since she was a child. If she wants to get married, she must find someone she likes. King Gongyue also knows that as a defeated country This is not appropriate, so I sincerely ask Li Zhi to understand his love for his daughter.

Li Zhi was a very talkative emperor most of the time. He had no idea about this princess, and the harem didn't want such a princess anymore, so he turned a blind eye to Princess Gongyue's willful request.Everyone was waiting to see Zheng Qi's attitude, but they never expected that the princess would not want Zheng Qi to be her son-in-law this time, and as soon as she turned her head... she ran towards Li Xian.

"Would His Royal Highness Shou Wang marry me as the princess?"

Li Xian: Beep!Is this princess crazy?
