Chapter 551 Li Shimin: Being afraid of your wife is the tradition of my school, it’s not a shame! [Requesting monthly tickets]
Journey to the West, Wukong brought various treasures to Chang'an City. As soon as the clouds fell, he met Yuan Shoucheng who was leading the construction of the Nuwa Temple.
"I have seen the great sage, what wind brought you to Chang'an?"
"I came to see His Majesty the King of Tang. Has he returned to Chang'an from the Yanchi in Hedong?"
< br>“To the great sage, Your Majesty has finally left the palace. He plans to visit the nearby areas with the Queen and will return to Chang’an in a few days.”
Upon hearing this, Wukong planned to fly to the east of the river.
It is easy for others to enrich their own pockets when it comes to helping the poor. A powerful person needs to be responsible. Otherwise, a good meritorious deed will end up being a waste of money and may reap a lot of bad consequences.
Seeing that the Nuwa Temple was half-built, Wukong asked Yuan Shoucheng:
"When this temple is completed, remember to let me know. If you can't contact me, burn incense to show your holiness to Erlang." Pray to the True Lord and he will inform me.”
“Don’t worry, Xiaodao will definitely inform the Great Sage.”
Wukong flew up again and somersaulted to the Sushui River not far from the Hedong Salt Pond. Li Shimin, who had had a half-day of leisure, was squatting by the river fishing with a carbon fiber fishing rod under the setting sun.
Empress Changsun was sitting on a fishing harness, fanning Li Shimin. Not far away, Yu Chigong led the palace guards to protect the area tightly. The most exaggerated one was Wei Zheng. Just lift the sword and float in mid-air. Once there is any movement in the water, you will directly kill it.
Since the last sudden attack by the little dragon in the salt pond, the defense around Li Shimin has reached a new level.
Wukong fell from the air and greeted warmly:
"Your Majesty, how did you catch the fish?"
Seeing that Wukong was here, Li Shimin quickly said:
"I came a little late. The nest material has just been put down not long ago and the nest has not been made yet."
Wukong has seen a lot of fishing-related stories. From the video, I know that Li Shimin said this because he hasn’t caught a fish yet. He knows everything the air force guys say.
Queen Changsun picked up a thermos bottle next to her, poured out a cup of chilled sour plum soup and handed it to Wukong with both hands:
“This is the sour plum soup I made myself to quench the thirst of the great sage. ”
"Thank you, Madam, I am very thirsty. This sour plum soup is very sweet at first glance."
Wukong took the cup and drank it in one gulp, and then got down to business:
"I Master and I have just arrived at Guanyin Temple. The temple is magnificent. Master Ksitigarbha has removed all the gold and jewelery shells inside. The gold has been sent to the real world. Master asked me to send all the remaining treasures over and let His Majesty convert them into The money is specially used to help the poor people."
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't care less about fishing:
"For such a major matter related to merit, a reliable person must be chosen to take charge. .”
After saying that, he stroked his beard and was about to think about the candidates when Empress Changsun suddenly said:
"Leave it to me. The palace is boring all day, so I can go out and relax." ...Li Erlang, what are you looking at? Do you think I can’t do it?”
Li Shimin quickly said:
“I’m a little surprised that you took the initiative to do this, nothing else. I mean... let's do this. When we catch a big fish, I'll cook sweet and sour fish for you. How about it? My disciples are all good at cooking delicious food."
Wukong didn't expect to kill decisively. Li Shimin was so henpecked, and he didn't expect that the frail Empress Changsun would be so arrogant in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took out a small box from the fishing box, opened it, took out a Mi San Dao and stuffed it into his mouth.
The fish did not speak, but the man spoke first.
While he was eating, Queen Changsun took out some snacks from another box and gave them to Wukong, but Wukong waved his hand and didn't take them. He basically didn't touch anything except fruits.
Li Shimin took the opportunity to taste two snacks, and then said:
"Leave this matter to Guanyin...Leave it to the Queen. At that time, you can also call on the wealthy families in Chang'an to donate money. It’s a matter of merit. If you don’t understand it clearly, you should just stay at home and watch the gate from now on.”
He originally wanted to call Empress Changsun by her nickname, Guanyin Maid, as he had done in the past, but thinking about the incompatibility with that side now, it was better to change her name to a different name, so as not to add merit and telepathy to Guanyin.
After being called Guanyin’s maid for so many years, she finally passed away early. However, this time she went to the underworld and her life was extended. Even her body was healed by the dates sent by Ksitigarbha.
Li Shimin got tired from squatting and sat directly on the fishing box. He asked about the customs and customs in the west of Liangjie Mountain, and then said:
"I have asked Qin Qiong to take over the post of Marshal of the West. Su Dingfang was the deputy commander and led the army out of the Liangjie Mountains and marched all the way to the west; Li Jing, as the general manager of the march, was temporarily stationed in Hezhou Guard, and the grain, grass, soldiers and horses, and civilians from the five nearby states were all at his disposal... Cheng Zhijie and others were at his disposal. Chang'an is getting angry, so I stayed here and went back in two days, so as not to coax those soldiers into trouble."
How many years have passed since the Tang Dynasty bared its fangs again and wanted to open up frontiers. Tuotu conquered foreign tribes, and the civil servants and generals in the court were all gearing up to earn military glory.
It is also interesting to say that although the Tang Dynasty had a clear distinction between civil and military affairs compared to the Han Dynasty, the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty did not object to war at all.
Occasionally I object to sending troops, but I just feel that the food, grass and soldiers are insufficient, and I hope that your Majesty will accumulate strength before sending troops.
So the two factions in Datang are very subtle.
The main war faction: Can’t wait for a moment, lead the troops and send troops immediately!
Opposition: The treasury is empty, it is best to wait before sending troops!
If the leader of the Song Dynasty was sent to the Tang Dynasty, he would not be able to survive even a court meeting, and he would be killed on the spot by a coalition of civil servants and generals.
After Wukong understood this, he also talked about the nearly one million acres of cultivated land controlled by Guanyin Temple, and also talked about Bai Xiucai, a good friend of Black Bear Spirit.
Li Shimin stroked his beard and said:
"In our Tang Dynasty, there are Turks, Tatars, and Persians serving as officials, but there are really no goblins serving as officials... Wukong can investigate this again. Bai Xiucai, if it is possible, I will personally issue an order to make him the local governor."
Empress Changsun poured some sour plum soup for the two of them:
"The surname Bai is not bad, but the name is scholar, which is very inappropriate. You can give him a name when issuing an edict."
Li Shimin became playful:
"Okay, then I will Give him the name Bai Juyi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Empress Changsun, who had finished reading "General History of China", patted him gently:
"Don't be naughty, be careful what he does to you in the future. Write an article "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"
Li Shimin became serious:
"I hope he can abide by the principles of being an official and be benevolent and righteous... Let's call him Bai Shouren. If he can persist until the army arrives, I will transfer him to manage the capital."
After Wukong finished talking about everything, he opened the cloth bag on his waist and took out all the gold and jewelry shells inside. He also gave Li Shimin five boxes of canned fruits.
When he saw the desserts, Li Shimin no longer paid attention to fishing. He quickly opened one and began to taste it. He also specially picked out a cherry and fed it to Queen Changsun.
“This is the rule of my sect, you must be kind to your wife.”
Wukong: "..."
This is the first time someone has said that henpecked is so fresh and refined.
He said goodbye and flew away without disturbing the two of them.
Back at the Guanyin Temple, it was already dark. The black bear spirit followed the local customs and ate vegetarian meals with the monks in the temple, and also cleaned up the ruins of the Guanyin Temple with them.
Seeing Wukong come back, the black bear spirit came over quickly:
"Brother, just now I went to the backyard to feed the horse, and the horse actually talked to me... Is Master the only mortal in our scripture-seeking team?"
"Master doesn't count, he is Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Buddha. After reincarnating and obtaining the true scriptures, you will achieve the status of true Buddha.”
Searching for scriptures is a gold-plated journey. In fact, it can be regarded as the money and effort of each unit. Under the leadership of Xuanzang, the project manager, the accounts are taken care of. The shortfall was evened out.
As for future losses, there will be another calamity. Anyway, there will be a way to reach the mountain, so there is no need to rush.
While Xuanzang hadn’t come back yet, Wukong took out two cans and opened them. The two brothers and sisters enjoyed the delicious food while giving extra lessons to Little Bear.
It was not until two hours later that Xuanzang came back to the real world in an electric three-wheeler, bringing some cans and fruits, as well as some snacks.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Son heard that Wu Ming was going to hold a Buddhist robe ceremony, so he specially gave it to you to entertain guests tomorrow."
Black Bear Spirit did not expect such a good thing, and thanked him repeatedly. The dark bear's face was full of gratitude.
Xuan Zang conveyed the instructions of the Nuwa Empress to Hei Xiong Jing. After hearing this, Da Laohei quickly swore that he would obey the orders of the Wa Palace.
Wukong put away all the fruit snacks and learned that Xuanzang was not here tonight and would stay in the real world, so he flew away with the black bear spirit and went to Batu Caves to spend the night. Xuanzang drove the electric tricycle back to the real world. He first charged the car's battery, and then followed Li Yu to the scenic spot. After waiting near the statue for a while, he finally met Wang Chunxi, the boss of the construction team.
The group went up the mountain, passed through the observation deck, and came to a slightly flat ridge.
Li Yu said to Wang Chunxi:
“The location is so big, don’t build it in a nouveau riche style, and don’t make it too refined, just a simple style.”
“ Okay, no problem. This place is indeed suitable for building a temple. The ethereal artistic conception is immediately available. After it is completed, the nearby observation deck will probably become popular. ”
The two parties communicated and determined the size, style and statue of the temple. Most of the projects in this scenic spot were done by Wang Chunxi. He knew these very well:
“I already have a rough idea of what it will look like. , I will bring people over in the afternoon to build a steel cable slide here to facilitate the transportation of materials. When the drawings come out, I will let you take a look first."
"Okay!"
Here we go. At the foot of the mountain, Wang Chunxi took out the standard contract from the car. After the two parties signed it, Li Yu paid part of the advance payment.
On the way back, people kept asking Xuanzang to take photos.
Compared with the past, Xuanzang has adapted a lot. When taking photos, he would put his hands together or make some Buddhist gestures, and he was very cooperative.
Back at the B&B, Li Yu said to him:
"In the original work, Guanyin left Lingshan, first went to Liusha River to find Sha Seng, and then went to Yunzhan Cave to find Zhu Gangxian. Zhu intends to change his mind, so he went to Gaolaozhuang to become his son-in-law. Now he has not gone to Gaolaozhuang, and is still making a living by eating people in Yunzhan Cave. You must be careful not to capsize in the gutter. "
Starting from the subjugation of the black bear spirit, the plot direction has been very different from the original work.
If the scripture-seeking team follows the original plot and rushes to Gao Laozhuang to seek justice for Gao Cuilan, there is a high probability that it will be in vain.
Xuanzang said:
"Don't worry, Holy Son, we will be careful."
While chatting, Lu Bu came back from the Three Kingdoms world, with excitement on his face:
"Good guy, that pile driver is so useful. We got some wood and planted six huge wooden piles in the river in twos and twos. Now Wenyuan is leading people to lay the bridge deck. After it is repaired, let alone the carriage It’s okay to pass the car.”
Li Yu thinks it’s better not to take the risk:
"I have bought two large trucks of cement piles. They are quite strong. You can pull them away first and build a few bridges there to gain experience. In the future, piles will be driven under important buildings to prevent them from collapsing."
During the Three Kingdoms period, when attacking a city, they often resorted to digging holes. They dug tunnels under the city wall and secretly opened gates inside the city. When cement piles were available, they could drive some denser cement piles. If the opponent wanted to Digging a tunnel will most likely lead to a well.
In the past, the water level was relatively shallow, and groundwater could be dug to a depth of several meters. The length of cement piles was generally more than eight meters. If you wanted to dig a tunnel, you had to dig through the surface water layer first. Who can do this? get?
Lu Bu took out a stick of honey from the refrigerator and said while eating:
"The small river ditch is simple, the key is the other side of the Yellow River. If the bridge can be built, the imperial court and Jiuyuan The exchanges will become more intensive, and economic and cultural exchanges will be more convenient.”
As for the Yellow River, cement piles alone are not enough. It is estimated that some channel steel must be purchased and welded to the bridge piles to increase the strength of the bridge.
However, this requires electric welding technology, which is not enough at ordinary levels.
Everything takes time. Even if the real world fully provides supplies, the world in the book still has to have time to accumulate this professional knowledge.
Fortunately, everyone can afford to wait. If one generation fails, just wait for the next generation. As long as you persevere in training, you can always cultivate qualified technicians.
When Lu Bu reported this, the Full Moon Wine Festival at Sun Facai's house was being held lively in Chang'an City.
This time, even Liu Xie was present, and on behalf of the court, he gave Sun Mao a long-life lock made of pure gold. Unfortunately, the little guy didn't know the importance of gold yet. He only cared about sucking milk and sleeping after eating. He didn't care about playing. Not very interested yet.
Cai Yong was very happy and believed that his grandson had a pure temperament, was unfazed by favors and disgrace, and had an unlimited future.
However, while he was praising, Sun Facai said, "This kid is just like me when I was a kid." Cai Yong was so angry that he almost performed a full martial arts show in front of his relatives and friends.
He finally took advantage of this opportunity to let the great scholars in Chang'an praise his grandson, but as a result, his son-in-law jumped out to cause trouble.
If Sun Mao grew up to be as virtuous as his father, how would the great Confucians praise him?
Sun Facai felt that his father-in-law's worries were completely unfounded. Xiao Mao'er was about to go on a visit to the Wa Palace on behalf of the whole family. He had started to follow the gods before weaning. How could the future be so different?
Besides, as the good grandson of Empress Nuwa, if you need to follow the path of being praised for being filial and honest in order to achieve something, then just open a small account. The account of Sun Mao is gone. Salvage value.
Many people in the court took advantage of the opportunity to have a big meal and drank a lot of wine.
Taking the opportunity to look after the child, Zhuge Liang also secretly held Huang Yueying's hand, and then was photographed by Guo Jia, intending to use it as a handle to blackmail Prime Minister Zhuge at the critical moment.
Liu Xie also secretly brought some snacks to Lu Lingqi, and gave all the cream cakes Lu Bu asked him to bring to Xiao Lingqi, which made the little girl very happy.
When Jia Xu was having a banquet, he deliberately sat with Sikong Zhang Xi and hinted to him that the imperial court would soon send an imperial envoy to announce the edict and award rewards to Huangfu Song, the governor of Xiliang.
As soon as he heard that there was an opportunity to go out, Zhang Xi immediately said that he had been very restless recently and wanted to visit the old general Huangfu. In this way, the imperial envoy had a candidate.
After confirming this matter, Jia Xu pointed to Sima Lang who was picking up vegetables not far away and said to Zhang Xi:
“Sima Boda once had a relationship with Zhang Tianshi, Sikong You might as well take him with you and give him some advice along the way. When you meet Zhang Tianshi, he may be able to help you get some blessings."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wenhe, I will definitely stay with Sima Fang during this trip. The children are very close to each other.”
Here there is a lively feast, and over there in Xiliang, Huangfu Song is sitting in the small town of Linqiang, less than a hundred miles away from Qinghai Lake, warming himself by the fire.
All orders have been distributed, and the old general retreated to the city to wait for the good news.
He put the glutinous rice cakes given by the emperor on the fire to heat, and just about to take a few bites, the door was pushed open, and a strong wind mixed with snowflakes rushed into the room. Huangfu Song could not help but wrap up his neck and tie it. He was wearing a scarf and asked:
“Why are you so panicked?”
An official from the Dudu Mansion bowed his hands and said:
"Old General, the nearby Xianbei aliens have taken the initiative to ask for orders to join my Han Dynasty and be the vanguard to eliminate the Qiang people. They also said that they are responsible for the food and grass themselves. I only ask the old general to give them a chance to show their loyalty."
"Zhongxin...are they worthy of talking about this?"
Huangfu Song wanted to refuse, but thinking about the fact that the army was exterminating foreigners around Qinghai Lake and there were not many people in Jincheng County, he changed his mind:
“Take Zhang Tianshi’s statue and ask them to swear to it, swearing that the most ruthless tribe will be the vanguard to attack the main force of the Qiang people.”
asked:
"General, isn't this too childish?"
"It's child's play or not, they will know after they swear the oath."
As soon as they heard this, they took the order and left, planning to take it with them. Go try the statue of Zhang Daoling.
After he left, Huangfu Song said to his son who was acting as a clerk:
"Jian Shou, draft a memorial saying that Jincheng is too far away and cannot govern the Western Qiang area. Linqiang City It is too small to act as a deterrent. I hope the court will approve the reconstruction of the new city to shock the surrounding Xiaoxiao.”
Huangfu Jianshou quickly took a note and wrote it down:
"Father, what is the name of the new city?"
Huangfu Song raised his head and looked at the map hanging on the wall:
"It's called Xining means peace in Western Xinjiang. Your Majesty will understand after reading it. "
"Yes, father!"
After Huangfusong finished eating the glutinous rice cake, he tied the woolen scarf given by Liu Xie again, rubbed his temples, stood up with the table in hand, approached the wall, and stared at the modern map on the wall, his eyes full of affection: < br>
“There is still such a vast land covered in dust in the hands of foreigners. It’s a pity that my body can’t hold it anymore...”
He gently touched the land on the map that was known as the roof of the world. He turned his face and ordered:
"Jianshou, if I pass away one day, don't bury me back to my hometown, just bury me by the Qinghai Lake. When I conquer the plateau in the future, remember to come to my grave and let me know." , my father is under Jiuquan, I can rest in peace!"
In the Wa Palace, the empress looked at this scene and said to Zhang Daoling:
"Extend Huangfusong's life a little longer, and take him to fly around the plateau. First, see the great rivers and mountains of China, and cheer up the old general."
"Yes!"
