Great Tang princess

Chapter 34 Li Yuechen's Desire to Survive

In fact, the sand table deduction is only a deduction in the end, and it is still very different from the real actual combat.

But even so, Li Zhi still had a great time playing with his daughter, and Wu Zetian, who was watching beside him, also found it very interesting.

Holding a cup of tea with a smile on her face, she watched the fight between father and daughter.

An afternoon passed in a blink of an eye. Feeling the gradually darkening environment, Li Zhi raised his head and twisted his neck.

"What Chen'er made is indeed very interesting! And this thing should be brought to the court hall for all the nobles to see. If it is really useful, I should order that all important strategic places in the Tang Dynasty be made like this." Sand table."

Having said that, he turned his head, with a doting smile on his face: "Chen'er has made another great contribution!"

"Hey, as long as grandpa likes it, that's fine!" Li Yuechen expressed his filial piety with a smile.

Afterwards, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had dinner with their daughter in Chengxiang Hall, chatted together for a while, and went back after reading the latest chapter of Journey to the West.

Of course, Zhang Chengxin asked someone to take the sand table away when he left.

The next day was not going to court, but Li Zhi still called Liu Rengui and Pei Xingjian and other people with relatively high force values ​​to Zichen Palace.

When they saw the sand table and listened to Li Zhi explain how to deduce it, these ministers who had personally been on the battlefield and commanded the war instantly understood the important strategic significance of it.

"Hahaha..." Pei Xingjian stroked his beard and laughed: "Mr. Liu has made a good apprentice!"

"Where is the princess, the princess is born smart, so it's just a guide..."

Li Zhi smiled triumphantly at the side: "At the beginning when I asked you to accept me as an apprentice, I saw that you were still unwilling in every possible way, now that you know Chen'er?"

He was in a really good mood today, and he actually started to show off his daughter.

In fact, this is not the first time that this kind of thing happened. When Li Yuechen was still in his infancy, he was held in his arms to show off to foreign envoys.

Now that I have grown up, I like this daughter more and more.

Liu Rengui also knew that he didn't mean to blame him, and immediately saluted with a smile: "Back then, the old minister was blind, please forgive me..."

While the monarchs and ministers were joking with each other, Li Zhi also ordered the Ministry of Industry to start making simulation sand tables of all strategic locations in the Tang Dynasty.

Strive for fidelity and try to achieve the same proportion as in reality.

……

A few days later, when it was the season of ripe oranges, Li Zhi immediately sent someone to bring more than ten catties of oranges to his daughter.

The oranges that can be delivered to the palace are undoubtedly superior in terms of quality. After Li Yuechen gave one to each of Fulai, Xiaohe, Zheng Shi and Shangguan Wan'er, he asked people to peel all the oranges and use them to make cans.

It's not that she is stingy, but that these good-looking ones are first used for canning.

If you still want to eat, you can just go out of the palace to buy it. Anyway, it is the ripe season now, and the price is not expensive.

After finishing another batch of cans, Li Yuechen nodded as he looked at a large pile of ceramic jars placed in the corner of Chengxiang Hall.

He thought in his heart that if the experiment was successful, Li Zhi would be able to eat lychees next year.

After finishing the can, Li Yuechen took Shangguan Wan'er and two older sisters to play shuttlecock.

The next day was the first day of October, and it was the day when Li Yuechen went to Sanqing Hall to pray for Mrs. Rong Guo.

I got up early in the morning and took Shangguan Wan'er and her two older sisters to practice yoga, and after doing the routine again, I put on the Taoist robe and went to the Sanqing Hall.

After earnestly lighting three sticks of incense, Li Yuechen picked up the "Qing Jing Sutra" and began to recite.

After chanting the scriptures all morning, just after walking out of the Sanqing Hall at noon, I saw Fulai standing outside the door.

"Eunuch Fu, why are you here today?"

Seeing her coming out, Fulai walked over quickly. After looking around, he bent down and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao passed away at the time."

Zhao Renben is dead?
Li Yuechen was a little surprised, and he passed away while in office. The news was really explosive.

Li Zhi probably wouldn't be in a good mood either. After all, Zhao Renben had been an official in the court for many years, and now that he died suddenly, he must be uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen planned to go over to comfort her: "Where is grandpa now?"

"I was still in Yanying Hall just now, I don't know now..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuechen had already run out in a hurry.

Fulai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him.

Now Li Yuechen has practiced for several years, running such a distance can be said to be blushing and breathless.

He ran all the way to the Yanying Hall, saw no one, and immediately ran to the Zichen Hall.

As soon as he entered the side passage from the back door, he saw Li Zhi and Wu Zetian walking side by side.

Li Zhi's expression seemed a little lost, and he forced a smile: "Why is Chen'er here?"

"My son heard that Mr. Zhao passed away, and I was worried that Grandpa would be too sad..." Li Yuechen explained.

Seeing that his daughter was still wearing a Taoist robe, Li Zhi squatted down and hugged her up: "It's okay, although I'm sad, but with Chen'er here, I won't let my body go wrong!"

"It's best if Grandpa has nothing to do!" Li Yuechen comforted him.

Zhao Renben and Li Zhi were not as close as Li Ji, so they were not too sad about his passing.

However, he still ordered to stop the court for three days to express his condolences.

Li Yuechen also went to listen to the court meeting on October [-]th.

Now the people in the prefectures and counties affected by the drought have already gone to other prefectures and counties, but some people inevitably starved to death on the way.

At this court meeting, Li Zhi announced two things.

First of all, all official names were restored, Dongtai was restored to Menxia Province, West Taiwan was restored to Zhongshu Province, and the other six ministries were restored to their original names.

The second thing is to announce that the people in the land affected by the drought, those who cannot survive under 15 years old, will be adopted as men and women, and will be used by the adopters.

When the drought is over, it can be paid back to the master's family according to the value of food and clothing, and returned to the original place.

Behind the screen, Li Yuechen, who was leaning against the wall, sighed helplessly. Although it was not a good solution, it was already an impossible solution.

In this day and age, there are no solutions to natural disasters, and it is not easy to ensure that most people will not starve to death.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen felt powerless. This is the limitation of the times, and she can't change anything by herself.

After all, in the face of this kind of natural disaster, the only solution is only four words - the country is rich and the people are strong!
Only by doing this can we have the ability to fight against this natural disaster!
Li Yuechen raised his head slightly, looking at Li Zhi on the dragon chair and Wu Zetian behind the bead curtain.

Is there any way I can get them to follow my advice?

Unfortunately, that's all I can think of.

The current self, besides being favored, is still a child.

Maybe I can make suggestions, but whether to adopt it depends on the emperor's own opinion.

Not to mention that Li Yuechen didn't dare to stand out at all, after all, the person sitting behind the bead curtain was the future empress.

Why is Li Yuechen pretending to be silly and cute every day?It's not to tell them that I have no threat at all, so don't pay attention to me!

When the government heard this, Li Yuechen also felt that it was meaningless.

Without waiting for Li Zhi to go down, he shook his head and got up and left.

……

In November, the weather has entered late autumn and winter is about to enter.

Li Yuechen still exercises himself every day according to the habit of self-discipline, and everyone in Chengxiang Hall has become accustomed to it.

The only change is that the two princesses, Xuancheng and Yiyang, may be getting better and better because they practice yoga with Li Yuechen every day.

Not only the figure, but also the temperament has been greatly improved.

Originally, I accompanied Li Yuechen to practice yoga at first, but I just had a mentality of playing with her when I was free anyway.

But now, I practice very seriously every morning.

Feeling the law of true fragrance from the two sisters, Li Yuechen felt a little funny.

After practicing yoga, he was about to go out to practice, when Fulai came in suddenly: "Your Highnesses, the holy words!"

The three of Li Yuechen quickly saluted and listened.

Fulai saluted in the direction of Yanying Hall with both hands, turned his body slightly and said: "The saint said, the weather is getting colder, I miss hot pot, and my family will gather in Yanying Hall tonight!"

Li Yuechen almost couldn't help laughing, the oral instruction was actually in plain language, very kind.

It seems that now Li Zhi finally knows the joy of family gathering together.

That night, Li Yuechen and his two sisters came to Yanying Hall early.

The older brothers came even earlier, and Li Hong saluted Xuancheng and Yiyang.

Li Yuechen had always hated this kind of serious etiquette between family members, and when he was saluting, he jumped up and threw himself on his back.

"Brother, long time no see, do you miss me?"

"Ouch!"

Li Hong was suddenly thrown by her and almost fell to the ground.

After finally standing still, he dragged her two legs up again, fearing that she would fall.

"You! Why don't you salute obediently when you see me and the brothers?"

Li Yuechen put his arms around his neck and smiled: "Why is our family so divided?"

"This is etiquette! How can you say you are unfamiliar?" Li Hong pretended to be angry and taught him a lesson.

"Really?" Li Yuechen turned his head to look at the other brothers, "A few brothers think Yuechen's words are justified?"

The second elder brother Li Xian put his arms around Li Xian's neck, nodded and said, "I think it makes sense! Brother, a family really shouldn't be divided like this!"

The fourth brother, Li Lun, didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.

The few of them also like this younger sister very much, no matter whether they agree with it or not, they are naturally towards her on the surface.

Li Yuechen jumped off Li Hong's back, and stood on the steps bouncing and looking at them: "So, Yuechen suggested that we should not be so unfamiliar when we meet as a family in the future!"

Li Hong felt amused seeing her berating Fang Qiu like this: "Then what should I do when I see my mother?"

"When you see your parents, you should salute yourself, but to be honest, Yuechen always thinks such rules are really troublesome." Li Yuechen made a distressed look.

Li Xian lowered his head and thought for a while: "My little sister is right, but we, as sons and daughters of the royal family, have the responsibility to lead by example..."

Eldest brother Li Hong nodded: "Yeah!"

"Actually, the elder brothers still agree with what Yuechen said, right?" Li Yuechen said with a smile, "What you say now is nothing more than fear of being taught by your parents!"

After being pointed out by the younger sister, the brothers blushed a little, especially Li Xian.

However, she still raised her head a little unconvinced: "Isn't Yuechen afraid of parents?"

"I'm not afraid." Li Yuechen put his hands on his hips and looked proud.

Li Xian on the opposite side glanced at the two figures who were gradually coming out from behind Li Yuechen, with a smile on his lips, he raised his voice a little: "Since Yuechen is not afraid of parents, how about this? Grandpa is a saint, I can't wait Speaking of which, does Yuechen dare to talk about A Niang's shortcomings?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Of course Li Yuechen knew that he was digging a hole for herself, children's ears were much more sensitive than adults, and she could already hear the deliberately lowered footsteps behind her.

So he waved his little hand and said: "The biggest shortcoming of A Niang is that she has no shortcomings! Just like Grandpa, they are both perfect and unparalleled in the world!"

"puff……"

Li Hong on the opposite side couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha..." The other brothers and sisters also couldn't help laughing and leaning forward and backward.

In fact, it is very impolite to laugh so loudly in front of the emperor and empress, but there is no way, they can't help it.

Not to mention them, Zhang Chengxin, who was guarding the door, gritted his teeth hard, trying not to laugh, his face turned red.

Li Zhi from behind also laughed and came over and touched her head: "I thought Chen'er would say such a shocking remonstrance, but I didn't expect it to be so highly praised!"

Wu Zetian next to him also suppressed a smile, and put on a stern look: "Hmph, I know how to flatter you at a young age, I don't know where I learned it!"

Li Yuechen ran to her side with a smile and hugged her waist: "My son's words are all from the bottom of his heart, isn't it flattering? My mother's evaluation this time will make my son sad!"

"Oh? Then you should be sad and show me!" Wu Zetian said with rolled eyes.

"Oh!" Li Yuechen grabbed her hand and shook it back and forth, "Today's family reunion, so don't make things difficult for the child!"

Wu Zetian pulled out her hand all of a sudden, and pointed her finger on her forehead: "Go! Don't do this to me!"

Seeing that the other princes and princesses couldn't stop laughing, Wu Zetian's face collapsed: "What? You can't stop laughing?"

Seeing her serious face, the brothers and sisters forced their smiles back, but their shoulders still twitched.

"Hahaha..." Only Li Zhi was still laughing, and he waved his hands casually: "Okay, okay, what Chen'er said is very true, family members should be so happy when they are together!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Yuechen nodded frantically.

"Your Majesty, just spoil her!" Wu Zetian also smiled helplessly.

"Grandpa, look, Mom looks better when she smiles than when she doesn't smile, right?" Li Yuechen turned his head and winked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled and nodded: "Yes! Meiniang should smile more!"

"Exactly!" Li Yuechen nodded, "You should smile more, this is the demeanor of the most beautiful woman in the world!"

After finishing speaking, he opened his eyes wide and added a cute sentence: "Baby is second!"

"puff……"

Even Wu Zetian couldn't help it now, and couldn't hold back his laughter.

The surrounding atmosphere instantly relaxed, and the children laughed again.

Li Zhi, whose smiling face started to hurt a little, waved his hand: "Okay, okay, come in! Eat hot pot!"

As he said that, he took the lead and walked into Yanying Hall. In the end, the children still didn't salute them...
