Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 92 95

In the past few days, Li Shimin has not slept well.

Li Yuan has come back to life, even though he may not be around for long, but he is still alive after all.

During this period, Li Shimin couldn't help but went to meet him. This meeting, of course, scolded him for slowing him down, and he ruined a good situation like this.

Hearing Li Shimin's curse, Li Yuan smiled, although his voice was a little hoarse, but full of joy.

"Laughing? What's so funny? You almost ruined your own country, and you're so happy? Father, do you know that with a heart like yours, you can't be a defending emperor at all!
Haven't you seen how powerful I have been in the prosperous age of Zhenguan all these years?I'm just on the frontier of Chen Bing, and those barbarians are already trembling!All nations come to court!

The people of Zhen not only have enough food and clothing, but also have surplus wealth!Now the agricultural tax in my Tang Dynasty has been reduced to the extreme, and the people are shouting for my wisdom and martial arts. Don’t you hear these things?
What you have been asking for all your life is not to make me, Li Tang, prosperous and powerful, so that I will be famous forever?Now I did it!Why are you still not satisfied?

Is it really so important that the Tang Dynasty prospered in my hands or in the hands of my elder brother? "

Seeing Li Yuan laughing, Li Shimin said angrily.

"Prosperity is due to you? Hehehehe, you really dare to say it! When the natural disaster was just over, and the country was exhausted, who relied on a pile of glass to get you out of the economic crisis!
Those barbarians are afraid of Datang, but are they afraid of you?They are afraid of artillery!It's a grenade!
You said that ordinary people are self-sufficient in food and clothing!That's your credit?Without potatoes and sweet potatoes, you even publish the food and wages!

hehe!What a prosperous age of Zhenguan, what a conservative emperor!Hahahahaha"

Li Yuan smiled viciously, but every word hit Li Shimin's vitals.

"That's also how I know people and make good use of them! Without my courtesy and honesty! How could he be willing to make so many contributions to our Great Tang? Without my almost absolute laissez-faire, how could he be possible?" What a show! Why can't you see my efforts?"

There is no child who does not want to be approved by his parents, even Li Shimin is no exception. He has been denied by Li Yuan, and Li Shimin only feels angry and heartbroken.

"Then you can prove it to me! Now Yuanchang also has artillery, sweet potatoes and potatoes. You have equal opportunities, and even in terms of military strength, you still have the upper hand! If you can kill them within three months Pingding, I will admit to the name of Shoucheng Mingjun, and tell you a big secret!"

Li Yuan panted heavily, and said coldly.

"Three months? Li Yuanchang has natural dangers to guard against. How could I win Lingnan in three months! You are making things difficult for me!"

Li Shimin said angrily.

"If Li Yuanchang is easy to deal with, how can you show your ability? What I want to see is an evenly matched duel, not you crushing those barbarians with absolute strength!"

Li Yuan smiled coldly again.

After hearing this, Li Shimin left Daming Palace with a gloomy face and resentment.

After leaving the Daming Palace, Li Shimin summoned a group of military and political ministers, and started a heated discussion on a large model of Lingnan mountains and rivers made of plasticine.

Although Chai Shao had already approached Lingnan with an army of [-], he was blocked by Li Yuanchang's artillery, making it difficult to go south.As a result, it is impossible to regain Lingnan in a short time.

This discussion lasted for three days, but everyone still did not have a feasible strategy.

If it was in the past, in fact, it would not be so troublesome, just force it to go over with the artillery, the big deal is to kill more soldiers, as long as all the gunpowder of Li Yuanchang can be exhausted, that is the time of Li Yuanchang's death.

But it is different now. After more than a year, the courtiers of Datang have cherished the soldiers to the point of cherishing them like gold!
If it's not a last resort, they really don't want to have too many injuries to the sergeants of Datang.

After dismissing all the ministers again, Li Shimin rubbed his brows alone and sighed deeply.

Seeing that Li Shimin was upset, Eunuch Qian also sighed lightly, and at this moment, a Huang Menling entered the imperial study room and whispered something to Eunuch Qian.

Hearing Huang Menling's secret words, Eunuch Qian frowned, nodded with a smile, and dismissed the Huang Menling.

Afterwards, Eunuch Qian came to Li Shimin's side with a slight look on his face, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is better than blue, and today he actually designed to win against Zuohou once! Really happy and congratulatory!"

"Oh! Pheasant slave actually beat Zuo Ming? What's going on?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Shimin's mind was immediately diverted.asked curiously.

Seeing that His Majesty finally stopped worrying and showed a smile, Eunuch Qian heaved a sigh of relief, and then told Li Shimin about the Buggy car competition.

Although Eunuch Qian's eloquence was not as good as Zuo Ming's, Li Shimin's narration was refined and interesting.

"Good! Good! As expected of my son! He was able to come up with such an ingenious plan! That Murong Yi is also good, pass on my handbook, from today onwards, Murong Yi will be removed from slavery, and will enter the Prince's Palace of Jin to accompany him!"

Since the last incident of Li Zhi going to heaven, Li Shimin began to pay attention to this little book boy. Although this Murong Yi is young, he is really very smart. According to the news from the secret guard, this kid is basically very smart when learning things. It will happen once.

During this period of time, the reason why Li Zhi was able to get so many honors in the exam was due to his extracurricular tutoring.

Although the bouncing car competition seemed to be Li Zhi's wit, Li Shimin knew that there must be Murong Yi's shadow in it.So for Murong Yi, he really appreciated it to the extreme.

It is rare to meet a big happy event, Li Shimin naturally wants to publicize it, so the news that Jin Wang Li Zhi, the prince who is closest to the people in Datang in recent years and also the cutest, defeated his master Zuo Ming, the "both master of poetry and painting". It spread throughout Chang'an in no time!
After learning about this, although no one scolded him for being useless, and could not even fight against a disciple, Zuo Ming still put on a bad face for three days in a row.

And Li Shimin obviously didn't care about Zuo Ming's feelings, and even recruited Li Zhi back to the palace the next day, and let him have a good meal, which was regarded as a celebration for him.Of course, Li Zhi's little friend, Murong Yi, was also accompanying him.

Nowadays, the craftsmanship of the royal chefs is no longer comparable to what it used to be, and it can be said that they have completely surpassed Zuo Ming.

Since he came to Datang, Zuo Ming practiced his cooking skills for his own appetite, but his cooking skills are not very good.In the past, Empress Changsun and the others thought it was delicious, mainly because his method was too novel.

Now Zuo Ming's novel ideas have been almost thoroughly learned by the imperial chefs, and Zuo Ming is naturally not as good as them in terms of cooking.

With such a large pile of delicious food, Li Zhi naturally ate with relish, but Murong Yi didn't seem to have much appetite, and secretly watched Li Shimin the whole time, looking restless.

"Murong Yi! I see that you have been reluctant to eat your chopsticks for a long time, but this dish is not to your liking?"

Murong Yi's anomaly naturally couldn't escape Li Shimin's eyes, so he asked curiously immediately.

"No way! This dish is much more delicious than what the master cooks, don't you like it?" Li Zhi also looked at Murong Yi in surprise.

Hearing the two people's inquiry, Murong Yi's little face turned red, but finally mustered up the courage, stood up, got up and left the table, and knelt down facing Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, these meals are very delicious, and Murong Yi likes them very much! However, considering that the nanny at home is still living a life of simple food, Murong Yi really can't eat.

Recently, Murong Yi has often heard Zuo Shi talk about the battle in Lingnan, the generals are restricted by the terrain, it is difficult to advance!Murong Yi is not talented, but she has a plan in mind, and she wants to use it to ask His Majesty to exchange her wet nurse for slavery.Also please Your Majesty to complete it! "

Murong Yi's voice was very immature, after all, he was only an eight-year-old child, but he spoke in an orderly manner, giving people the feeling of a little adult.

"I was negligent about this matter! You don't have to ask your father about this matter, I will go and ask the master for the slavery of the nanny for you later, so that she will be freed from slavery just like you!"

After hearing what Murong Yi said, Li Zhi immediately put down his food, feeling a little ashamed.

"Pheasant slaves don't have to be like this! As the saying goes, you don't get rewarded for nothing. If Zuo Shi rashly removes slavery for the nanny, the other servants of the Zuo family may feel dissatisfied! Zuo's kindness, Murong Yi doesn't want him to do it hard! Everything is still the same. Follow the rules!"

Faintly rejecting Li Zhi's kindness, Murong Yi looked up at Li Shimin again.But this time, the apprehension and blushing on his face had faded away, leaving only a pair of bright and honest eyes, and a look of expectation.

"Okay! Sure enough, a hero is born as a boy! Zuo Ming's vision is really unique! Anyway, I have time today, so let me listen to you! As long as you are right, I will grant your nurse from slavery!"

Murong Yi was so respectful, filial, benevolent and righteous, Li Shimin couldn't help admiring, and then asked expectantly.

He didn't think that Murong Yi would be able to give him a perfect plan, but he just wanted to hear Murong Yi's opinion and expand his thinking.

After getting Li Shimin's consent, Murong Yi was overjoyed immediately, and immediately gave another salute, and then said eloquently.

"In fact, our army can't go south. The biggest obstacle is not the natural danger, but the artillery! Without artillery, even if the natural danger is in front, the Lingnan rebels will definitely not be able to stop my Great Tang Tiejun!
If His Majesty is willing, it is also possible to forcibly cross the south with the loss of some soldiers, but His Majesty and the generals obviously cherish the soldiers, so they don't want to forcibly attack the south!
In this way, there is only one way, and that is to find a way to consume the artillery of the Lingnan rebels!Although they have a lot of gunpowder, they don't need the court and can produce it continuously, but if they use one, one will be less! "

Hearing this, Li Shimin's thoughts gradually became clear.

In the past few days, he and a group of ministers have been focusing on this map. They have been thinking about how to attack Lingnan, but they have ignored the fundamental problem of artillery. Bright.

But even though he already had his own thoughts, he still wanted to listen to Murong Yi's thoughts, "Tell me, what method do you think should be used to consume their artillery?"
