Chang'an, Taiji Palace.
His Majesty Li Shimin, the great leader of imperialism, was enjoying the sauna activities day after day, and there were four ice basins in the imperial study, but it was still hot and sweating.
The relationship between the topography of Taiji Palace, every summer will enter the most difficult season of the year, humid and hot is the norm, it is because of this, so there will be the appearance of Daming Palace later.
Of course, historically, it is said that Daming Palace is a palace group built by Li Shimin for his father Li Yuan, but it turns out that when Daming Gong broke ground, Lao Li Yuan was already out of order, and when it was built, Li Shimin's own hung for I don't know how many years.
So what is the bottom of the doorway, now can only be judged by the imagination of later generations, but the most critical factor, the author still thinks that the geographical location of Taiji Palace is not good, so there is the idea of building Daming Palace.
The book returned to the main story, but it said that Li Shimin was enjoying the sweltering heat of Daming Palace painfully and happily, and a Hongling urgent report from 1,800 miles away suddenly raised a nameless fire in his heart.
The courage of the Xue Yantuo people is really great, not to mention entering the territory that originally belonged to the Turks without authorization, and now they even dare to send troops to invade the Tang Dynasty, which is really a bear's heart and a leopard's gall.
However, it is also his own subordinates who are fighting for their strength, and they even used a little trick to turn around those deceived by Xue Yantuo, and capture all the 3,000 enemies who came to attack without hurting a single soldier, which is not a shame.
"Your Majesty, don't you think this matter is a little strange, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Yinan has just been sealed, even if he is stupid, it is impossible to provoke a dispute at the border at this time" Fang Xuanling is the prime minister, and this Hongling urgent report was personally sent by him, and only after Li Shimin put the urgent report aside, he asked with some uncertainty.
Hongling Urgent Report generally conveys the most important news, but no matter how important the news is, it is impossible to send it directly to the emperor, after all, in many cases, the safety of His Majesty the Emperor is the most important, and it is impossible to see it casually.
Therefore, when there is an urgent report of Hongling, it will often be sent to Zhongshu or Menxia as soon as possible, that is, three of the six provinces of the legendary three provinces, and then the supreme governor of the three provinces, that is, the prime minister or the servant, will decide whether to send it to the emperor according to the importance of the matter.
And this time, the Hongling urgent report submitted by Shanyin County actually did not need to be presented to Li Shimin, after all, the incident must have happened, and Xue Yantuo did not have follow-up troops to continue to follow up, at most, it was a border conflict.
But don't forget, Fang Xuanling's son Fang Zhizhi is still in Shanyin County, which makes Lao Fang have to consider the possibility of Xue Yantuo making a big move, so he hurriedly came to Li Shimin and handed over this war report to this imperialist leader.
And Li Shimin only smiled contemptuously in the face of Fang Xuanling's question: "Xue Yantuo people will indeed not provoke border conflicts without authorization, there must be other reasons for this, but no matter what the reason is, Zhenzhu Yinan does not explain the situation to me, and second, he does not send people to communicate with the border army, this is his biggest mistake."
"Then how does Your Majesty plan to deal with this matter next" Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin had already had his own guess about the matter, so he didn't say much, but just lowered his head slightly and asked about the next arrangements.
After all, there were no 3,000 people at once, and Xue Yantuo couldn't just give up even if he coaxed him again, and there would inevitably be some action next.
Li Shimin also had his own plans for this, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Send Tang Jian to go, let him ask Zhenzhu Yinan what he means and why he wants to send troops to attack the border." ” "No" Fang Xuanling responded.
"Also, the border army must also be prepared to face the battle, in case everything is different, even if the battle is to the last soldier, the Xue Yantuo people must be stopped in Mobei."
"No" Fang Xuanling replied again.
After arranging these two things, Li Shimin seemed to think of something again, and said with a sigh: "Xuan Ling, do you know what that Li Muyun is busy with now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it seems that you are tinkering with something called cement during this time, I heard that it is a sharp weapon for building the city wall, and there is also burning coke, saying that it is preparing for steelmaking, these are all said when the dog wrote a letter some time ago."
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said.
"Preparing for steelmaking, does this kid really have the means to increase steel production," Li Shimin frowned and said with some uncertainty.
At the beginning, Li Muyun promised him to provide 500,000 catties of 100 catties of steel for five years, to be honest, Li Shimin was very happy to hear it at the time, but intellectually he was telling himself that this kind of thing was impossible, after all, how could a small county town be comparable to the power of the entire Datang.
Besides, the eldest grandson Wuji's family is in the steel business, and when he usually chats about this matter, the old fox completely scoffs at the matter of making steel for 500,000 catties in five years, thinking that Li Muyun is bragging.
But when Li Shimin heard Fang Xuanling talk about Shanyin County's preparation for steelmaking, a heart that had lost hope slammed again.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if you can increase production, but according to the letter, that day, Xiaoyaohou personally instructed an ordinary blacksmith in the county to create a horizontal knife in two days, and when he tried the knife, he cut off the hundred refining horizontal knives with one sword, but the horizontal knife only collapsed."
Fang Xuanling basically said what he knew, and he believed that his honest son should not lie to himself in this matter.
You must know that Datang's hundred refining horizontal knives are not comparable to ordinary knives, a knife often has to go through a lot of processes, and it takes dozens of days to succeed, although it can not be compared with those famous swords in ancient times, but in general it is already the world's leading level at that time.
But even so, he was still cut off by the horizontal knife that took two days to build, which is enough to show that Li Muyun does have some strength, at least in terms of the ability to cast the knife.
And just as Fang Xuanling believed in his son, Li Shimin also believed in Fang Xuanling's judgment, so when he heard that the knife that took two days to build could actually cut through the Hundred Refining Horizontal Knife, a terrifying cold light immediately shot out of his eyes, and he muttered in his mouth: "I didn't expect that kid to really have such ability, and now I suddenly have some confidence in him." ” Yes, Li Shimin does have some confidence now, and even he decided that it doesn't matter if Li Muyun doesn't take out 500,000 catties of 100 pounds of steel within five years, as long as he can make knives
