Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 74
Being beaten by the two people he feared the most in his life, Li Zhi naturally didn't dare to say anything, but looking at his small eyes that rolled around, he knew that this kid must have made up his mind to play secretly by himself. Take a parachute.

Zuo Ming didn't point it out, but he smiled coldly in his heart.

With today's incident, this boy Li Zhi will be watched to death by a group of guards in the future, and it is impossible to be as free as before.

Sure enough, after following Li Shimin back to report his safety to Empress Changsun, little Li Zhi returned to Yong'an County the next day with a sad face, accompanied by eunuch Zhao Si and Li Tai.

Li Tai had been working in the military factory before, and those craftsmen were really talented. During this time, they actually developed a simple grenade, so Li Tai went to see the secret experiment.

By the time he knew the news of Li Zhi going to heaven, it was already late at night, but this did not prevent him from beating Li Zhi severely.

Up to now, Li Zhi's two small buttocks are still red and swollen.

In the past, if Li Tai dared to beat him like this, Empress Changsun would definitely stop him, but this time Empress Changsun was also determined to let him have a better memory, so she didn't bother him at all.

Back to Yong'an County, Li Zhi was watched by Zhao Si and a group of guards, and he had no chance to mess around.

In fact, Li Zhi was not afraid of Zhao Si and the gang of guards, he was mainly worried that his good friend "little luotou" would be implicated.

This time Li Shimin was furious, and was about to kill all the people who helped him make the hot air balloons. If Zuo Ming hadn't pleaded for mercy, he would not have seen "little carrot head" now.

For this "little radish head", Zuo Ming also touched the bottom.Speaking of which, this kid has some connections with Zuo Ming, he is one of the [-] slaves that Zuo Ming brought back from Tuyuhun, and he is also a rare member of the Tuyuhun royal family, the youngest son of Murong Fuyun, the youngest brother of Murong Shun— — Murong Yi!

Zuo Ming learned from the mouths of the craftsmen that this little slave was actually a little genius.Since getting acquainted with Li Zhi by accident, he has racked his brains to learn a lot from Li Zhi. The hot air balloon is not so much made by Li Zhi as it is by him.

For such a genius, Zuo Ming naturally would not let it go, so he found an excuse at that time and called him to be Li Zhi's book boy.

Li Zhi is the happiest when he can play with his friends in an open and aboveboard manner.Zhao Si wanted to say something, but Zuo Ming stopped him with his eyes.

And the following days can be said to be the happiest time in Li Zhi's childhood.

Zuo Ming is still very busy. After class in the morning, he will send his two little ones out to play, but to prevent them from being overly energetic and making amazing moves again, he finds them an extra job—fishing lobster!

Of course, the lobster here is not the crayfish of the later generations. The lobster here is formerly known as Lagu, which belongs to the native shrimp species of China.Unlike the Procambarus clarkii introduced from the Americas, the lobsters here are all black-clawed, and the head and body are almost the same width, not as big and thin as the Procambarus clarkii.

Li Zhi and the others didn't just use fishing rods to catch lobsters. Before they went out, Zuo Ming specially gave them some nets made by fishermen and asked them to make their own cages.

The making of this cage not only tests their knowledge of geometry, but also their logical thinking ability.

Zuo Ming would not give them a specific plan, but just told them that if they could catch one hundred catties of crayfish in one day, he would give them one hundred catties of plasticine.

This temptation is not insignificant!After all, even in later generations, things like plasticine are quite attractive to children.

In order to get the plasticine, the two little ones really worked hard.After all, it is already mid-August, and after a while, there will be fewer crayfish until they all hibernate.

The two little ones were trying to get more crayfish, and Zuo Ming was recruited into the palace again.This time Zuo Ming was not very surprised, because he had already known the news of Wan Bang's coming to court since half a month ago.

The destruction of Tuyuhun was too much a shock to the small countries around the Tang Dynasty. Even Tubo sent envoys anxiously.

It's just that other countries come to pay tribute, but Tubo came here to seek marriage!

——That bastard Songtsan Gampo actually wants to marry Li Lizhi as his wife!

Li Shimin must be reluctant to promise Li Li to Songtsen Gampo, but although Datang is now full of treasury, it will take a long time to digest Tuyuhun's territory. If Tubo is rejected rashly at this time, he is really worried It will cause unnecessary trouble.

"How many catties of crayfish did the pheasant slave catch today?"

Still in the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun lay lazily on the recliner with her big belly, and asked Zuo Ming when she saw her.

During this period of time, Zuo Ming often made some oily prawns and sent them to the palace. Although there was no chili, the taste of the lobster was less spicy, but the deliciousness of the lobster still conquered Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

"I haven't come back yet. I guess they are determined to get rid of my pile of plasticine this time!"

With a slight smile, Zuo Ming replied.

"Your plasticine is indeed a good thing. The Ministry of Industry has been busy using it to build a model of Asian mountains and rivers. For this reason, I made an exception and funded them to build a palace. This thing has great strategic significance! You just give it to me." Isn't it too wasteful for these two little guys to mess around!"

When mentioning the plasticine, Li Shimin also said with emotion.

"This thing is worthless. When I get the cement, you can have as much of it as you want! Now the key is the cement. It is made, but the effect is not good. It has hydraulic hardness, but it has been soaked for a long time. It’s easy to become crunchy”

Seeing that Li Shimin felt sorry for a piece of plasticine, Zuo Ming said amusedly.

"We don't understand what you said, so you can figure it out slowly! I won't rush you with the Feitian project. I'm here to talk to you about beauty! I won't hide it from you, originally I have already planned that in two years, when Lizhi grows up, I will betroth her to you! But now Songtsan Gampo has stepped in and sent an envoy to Chang'an to ask for marriage. I really don't know what to do. What to do!"

Li Shimin was most annoyed by Zuo Ming's use of special nouns when he talked, and he couldn't hear him, and it seemed that he had a special mountain cannon, so he interrupted him immediately and changed the subject.

"Well! Although Songtsan Gampo is the lord of a country, Princess Changle is the jewel in His Majesty's palm. It is indeed not suitable to be sent to Tubo to suffer, but His Majesty is not good at rejecting this matter! In my view, Your Majesty, you don't want to Don't worry, I'll go back and meet those Tubo envoys."

Hearing that Li Shimin actually admitted that he wanted to betroth Li Lizhi to him, Zuo Ming couldn't help being slightly taken aback, but then there was a burst of sullen ecstasy.Then he put on a righteous look and said.

Li Lizhi is a well-known beauty in the royal family, almost a copy of the eldest grandson empress. Although she is still in her prime, she has already fascinated many young talents.How could Zuo Ming not be tempted?
The reason why he ignored her before was precisely because he felt that Li Shimin would not betroth her to him.Now that Li Shimin has let go, why should he hesitate!
Even thinking about it now, the reason why that girl Li Lizhi has been so affectionate to her recently, hugging and hugging her when they met, completely disregarding the defenses between men and women, is probably because she got some rumors from Empress Changsun long ago.

Seeing that Zuo Ming was so happy that he was dying, but he pretended to be righteous, Empress Changsun immediately spat and said, "Don't be too happy! My royal princess can't be made a fool of others! You can say it yourself over there, but don't use the banner of my royal family!

And the Tubo envoy, I can warn you, don't cause Tubo's dissatisfaction because of a small loss, otherwise you will never be spared! "

This can be regarded as the last difficulty of being a parent.

"Your Majesty, don't worry! Don't worry, Your Majesty! Peace won by women is not real peace. We know it, but Tubo doesn't know it? They came here just because they wanted Datang's attitude. Let's give He has an attitude!"

With a slight smile, Zuo Ming said confidently.

When he went to the Potala Palace in his previous life, he had a good understanding of the history of Songtsen Gampo.That guy is busy fighting against Zhang Zhuong at this time, even if he wants to turn against Datang, he must wait until the regime of the entire plateau is stabilized.

At that time, Datang didn't know how many food reserves, how many cannons and how many hot air balloons he had.

"I can't see it, you kid still has a bit of political vision! But everything should be done in moderation, so don't overdo it. I just won Tuyuhun this year, and it will take at least a year to rectify the border. I will be very unhappy!"

Seeing that Zuo Ming was full of confidence and what he said was quite reasonable, Li Shimin nodded appreciatively, but then he still did not forget to tell him.

The present period is a critical period for the Tang Dynasty. As long as Tuyuhun's regime is consolidated, he will have a springboard to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. By then, Tubo will definitely become his possession.So at this time, Li Shimin was absolutely unwilling to fight against Tubo.

"Your Majesty, don't worry! I am a reasonable person, why would I do such a bullying thing? I will have a good talk with those Tubo envoys, and I will make them understand that you can't eat a toad. Swan meat!"

Smiling lightly, Zuo Ming cupped his hands and left as he spoke.

It's just that as soon as he left the palace, the smile on Zuo Ming's face became gloomy.

Li Shimin still doesn't know that Tubo is using troops against Xiong, and Zuo Ming can't say it clearly, so he decided to use his own behavior to prove that Tubo is not without ambition, but he is really inseparable now!Once he withdraws to provoke Datang, he will face two or even three flanks.

snort!Songtsan Gampo, you little bastard!You still want to get your hands on my uncle's girl, but this uncle will not allow you to marry Princess Wencheng!

Shit Lai Ray!
