Chapter 232 Erfeng and Zhangyu

〖Seriously speaking, the Ming Dynasty only complained when it fell, and it was not bad when it was strong. The Song Dynasty should be the most remembered for the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Chang'an in the poems of Su Shi, Sima Guang, Xin Qiji, Li Qingzhao, Yang Wanli and others is actually basically the same Bianjing Kaifeng.

Looking at the poets of the Southern Song Dynasty this way, they should be the worst. After all, not only Chang'an was lost, but also Bianjing was lost. The Tang Dynasty was just a capital city that fell six times and the emperor escaped nine times. The Southern Song Dynasty was simply gone.

Xuanzong, the half-famous emperor, brought great disaster to the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Huizong, Qinzong, and Gaozong were connected with the three obscurantate emperors. It is a miracle that the Song Dynasty survived.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji already lamented that having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to think about anything. If you can learn from Sun Quan, you will be satisfied.

Looking back, the two-capital system in the Tang Dynasty already reflected the shift of the economic center. At that time, it might have been better if we had learned from the painful experience and moved the capital to Luoyang. 〗

Watching the light curtain gradually dimming, Li Shimin sat in his chair with a contemplative look on his face. He was not as enthusiastic as before with his pen and ink.

He handed something wrapped in silk to Changsun Wuji, motioning for him to give it to the light curtain, and then said no more.

Fang Xuanling secretly punched herself on the waist. There was a lot of records to be recorded this time. She was meditating while copying, which was actually much more tiring than dealing with official duties.

Du Ruhui was a little dumbfounded: "Six traps of Chang'an?"

Du Ruhui was already indifferent to the emperor's nine-year escape. After all, seeing how Xizong fled later, he was too skilled.

"What's so strange about this?" Li Shimin raised his head in deep thought and said cheerfully:

"The emperor is so weak. Which of the delegated military governors would not want to do the old deeds of Wei and Wu?"

Now that they have a simple connection with Zhuge Wuhou through the light screen, Li Shimin occasionally thinks and recalls him a little more.

In Li Shimin's view, there was no difference between the Jiedushi who despised the monarchy and the princes of the late Han Dynasty.

He also saw that Changsun Wuji had sent the silk package to the light curtain, and Li Shimin's posture became more peaceful and relaxed for a while:

"In emergencies, one must use extraordinary measures. In times of chaos, Jiedushi is allowed to have the right to overstep his authority, but he must take it back one by one afterwards."

"But from this point of view, no one among the descendants of the late Tang Dynasty can do this."

The ministers were silent, and Li Jing said regretfully:

"If Weiqi and the Beiya imperial army are not abolished, we can send a good general to defeat them one by one."

Du Ruhui sighed:

"If these two armies had not been destroyed, Feng Changqing would have been able to lead his army to stop the rebels from entering Luoyang. Why would this disaster happen?"

…

After sending the prepared things, Kong Ming also chanted softly with a sad face:

"Dream of Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles..."

From the perspective of literary talent, this poem is mediocre, but it is more sincere in emotion.

It’s a dream, but it’s better to say it’s a dream. Kong Ming can really relate to this.

After all, the Han Dynasty has also reached a critical stage of survival.

When Chen Zilong becomes an official, he will face the subjugation of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it the same for Kong Ming?

Fazheng also looked sad. If it hadn't been for the corruption of the current situation, why would he have avoided disaster in Yizhou and wasted his time here?

Liu Bei noticed the atmosphere in the hall, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then smiled at Kong Ming:

"I once told Kong Ming that there was a five-foot-tall mulberry tree in the southeast of our house. Kong Ming didn't believe it at the time."

"Now it seems that when Zhuojun is conquered, I should give Kong Ming a visit in person."

He smiled at Fa Zheng and said:

"I also heard in Chengdu that when Xiaozhi was young, he once said that he was granted the title of marquis and had far-reaching ambitions."

"I have heard many names about Chang'an. Now if I want to set foot in Chang'an, I still have to rely on Xiaozhi's plan."

Kong Ming held his fan, smiled, and cupped his hands towards Liu Bei.

Fazheng's face felt slightly hot, but then he said boldly:

"What's so difficult about this? We'll take Chang'an and let the Lord drive and watch!"

Zhao Yun also came over and said:

"When I return to Changshan, I will ask the military advisor to try the real Ding pear. Yun Shao once tasted it when he was young. More than ten years have passed, and the fragrance remains on his lips and teeth."

Kong Ming smiled and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had remembered it.

Zhang Fei looked a little embarrassed:

"Commander, when we return to Zhuo County, I will catch two little piglets for you?"

Kong Ming laughed and tapped Zhang Fei's chest with his fan:

"Then the younger generation hopes to have a champion, but if Yide and Yun Chang work together, they may not be that much short of a champion!"

"It's enough to just hope that Yide will be praised for his achievements in border killing, but why talk about the butcher?"

Speaking of fighting, Zhang Fei slapped his chest loudly:

"I don't want to die like that An Lushan, a man wrapped in horse leather!"

Xu Shu next to him looked at all this with joy. Isn't this everything he asked for?

Now that the bird has left its cage and the dragon has escaped from the shallow water, Ji Han should be named after me!

Xu Shu didn't speak, but his mind was already thinking about the situation in Jingxiang.

At this moment, the light curtain slowly unfolded again, and the Chengdu government officials who were talking and laughing turned their heads to look.

[Hi, hi, hi, first of all, thank you for your precious gift! It’s verified, it’s real gold, and the boss is awesome!

Just the name. Do we need to discuss it? My real name is Wen Mang QAQ. 】

Then everyone's eyes moved down and they saw the two gifts this time.

A walking stick was given by Kong Ming, and everyone knew about it.

The other copy should have been sent by "His Majesty Erfeng". In the eyes of everyone in Jihan, it should be a celebration note with the word "Zhang Yu" in the upper right corner and the words "The whole world celebrates, the beginning of a prosperous age" in the middle. There is also a signature "Emperor Li Shimin" in the lower left corner.

What's different is that this post is all golden, and the fonts on it are all made of silver lines.

And there is a conspicuous tooth mark in the upper left corner, which is obviously the verification method mentioned by the younger generation.

[I have to say, UP host, you are really a talent. You don't feel bad when you bite it.

It's not like you bit off the gold? In addition, this raised my head and made me laugh to death. Zhang Yu has confirmed it.

Feeling bad must mean that it destroyed the beauty of the greeting card. This should be the allusion of Emperor Taizong making greeting cards. According to legend, the earliest New Year's card was made of brass by Erfeng and given to ministers. Later, the people followed suit and used paper instead when they couldn't afford brass. It has been popular until now.

This greeting card is very attentive with gold plate and silver thread. The craft technique of gold and silver inlay is also our intangible cultural heritage. It looks very good.

In addition, this inconspicuous cane should be a Qiong bamboo cane. It has been a specialty of Shu since the Han Dynasty and is also a craft that witnesses our history.

Speaking of Qiong bamboo cane and Erfeng, and the calligraphy I saw earlier, it reminds me that one of Wang Xizhi's seventeen posts is "Qiong Bamboo Cane Post", and it seems that it was also destroyed by Erfeng.

It is not a disaster. Although it was collected by Erfeng in the palace, it was not taken to the grave. Maybe it was destroyed in the An-Shi Rebellion. 】

The ministers in Ganlu Palace looked at the golden greeting card and then looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin finally smiled at this time and said to his left and right:

"Let this young man call me by my nickname every day... I should return his nickname."

The ministers couldn't help but laugh at each other, thinking it was quite interesting.

However, Li Shimin looked back and frowned again:

"What does it have to do with me if the Qiongzhu Cane Post is not passed down?"

In his heart, he didn't think that it would be safer to circulate among the people than in the palace. It can only be said that the An-Shi Rebellion later did not think of it.

However, this also gave Li Shimin a wake-up call. If the treasures were hidden in the palace and encountered a tyrant and a rebel, they would be wiped out.

Otherwise, it should be collected in museums in later generations?

But soon Li Shimin also thought of another thing:

"How is the progress of the glass?"

Hou Junji was sweating for a while. He had taken the initiative to find a salt lake and make transparent glass before, but he didn't expect that even with the guidance of later generations, it would not go smoothly.

At the moment, he could only bite the bullet and say:

"The glass now is turbid and mixed. Allow a month, and it will be fixed..."

Looking at Hou Junji's expression, Li Shimin nodded, but he planned to urge the Chief of Works after the tenth day of the first lunar month.

The last time the Chief of Works reported that he had made some progress in making alkali from plant ash, and he was trying to make something based on it.

Now it seems that it is good to continue studying glass. As for Hou Junji, it seems that he really does not have the talent for science.

Shaking his head in his heart, Li Shimin then looked at the sky outside the house.

It is only the third day of the first lunar month, and there are still seven days of rest time.

Moreover, seeing the tiredness on Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's faces, as well as the pile of drawings in front of the Yan brothers, Li Shimin also showed understanding and signaled everyone to disperse and go back to enjoy the rest.

All plans must be completed first.

As for Li Shimin himself, he planned to go to the harem.

Previously, the princes and princesses were exempted from schoolwork, and with the ten-day rest period during the first month of the lunar year, the heirs now communicate with each other in the harem every day.

The crown prince Chenggan was no longer as lifeless as before, and his face was much more cheerful, which made Li Shimin very satisfied.

The only thing that was more worrying was that Chenggan seemed to get along well with the young girl of the Wu family...

However, not long after leaving the Ganlu Palace, a report was delivered to Li Shimin.

"Zunli, Master Xuanzang has arrived in Chang'an?"

The one who delivered the report was Li Junxian, whose name was Zunli. He is now the left military general, in charge of the left guard of the imperial army.

Among the 16 guards of the Southern Court, the Left and Right Qianniu Guards and the Left and Right Jianmen Guards are Li Shimin's personal guards.

The duties of the night guards, intelligence collection and investigation, and even the screening of intelligence from various states for separate reports are all the responsibilities of these four guards, and the left is more respected than the right, so Li Junxian can be called Li Shimin's confidant, well, one of them.

"I just arrived last night. Your Majesty has important matters to attend to this morning, so I am reporting now."

Li Shimin nodded, looked at the playful princes and princesses, and walked into the flower garden next to him with Li Junxian, strolling and chatting:

"I heard that Master Xuanzang hesitated after being released from prison?"

Li Junxian thought for a while and said:

"As far as I know, Xuanzang had asked to go out of the pass to India several times before, but was not allowed."

"However, after I personally released him from prison and personally conveyed the holy words of Your Majesty, Master Xuanzang was determined to be able to go out of the pass."

"So he was neither hurried nor slow, bid farewell to relatives and friends, recited scriptures and bathed, and prepared enough money and food before setting off for Chang'an."

"He is quite interesting."

Li Shimin nodded and changed his itinerary:

"Then let's meet him."

Then another name came to his mind, and he immediately gave a simple order:

"Inquire about Su Lie's recent situation."

Li Junxian did not speak and obeyed the order.
