As usual, the emperor rejected the crown prince.
"You should focus on your studies, not on that."
Li Shimin said to his son calmly.
"Father, it is very necessary to develop the Tang West Canal.
If the canal is completed, it will benefit immensely, and the benefits will be in the present and the future. ” Cheng Qian has been obsessed with the West Canal recently, but the emperor is not willing to face it at all.
"When Sui dug the Grand Canal, it was indeed a merit in the present and a benefit for the future.
However, the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty has changed its color so far.
I don't want to dig a canal at this time, and I don't have to.
Hanjing is not far from the Han River, with the benefit of Jianghan Cao Yun, Hebei, Henan, Jianghuai and other places, can also be transferred from the canal.
Cheng Qian, you should learn from me to manage the world now, instead of thinking about digging canals, that is something that the Ministry of Industry should consider, not you. ” "Your Majesty, Erchen still has a plan, and there is no need for the imperial court to build the canal, this matter can be developed by the people to raise money and grain."
Li Shimin put down the knife in his hand and handed the cut steak to the prince.
"Cheng Qian, I don't want to build the canal, not because it will cost money to build the canal, nor because I want to recruit people, but because the people don't want to hear the word "canal", and the courtiers don't want to hear it.
Sui repaired the canal, how many laborers died.
At that time, even women were recruited to dig canals, and I once saw with my own eyes that some migrant workers had been soaked in water for a long time, and maggots grew on their waists.
Canals and canals, it is said that Sui dug canals and began to lose the country.
How many years have passed, and these painful memories of the people have not been forgotten.
The canals of the Sui Dynasty are not good, and now the Tang Dynasty also relies on many canals.
But the beginning of the Tang Dynasty is indeed not suitable for digging canals at this time. ” "Whether to dig the canal or not is not about whether the canal is useful or not, but whether it should be dug or not.
You are the crown prince, and you should not mention it. ” And Li Shimin is not optimistic about this canal, he thinks that this canal will be more difficult to repair.
Compared with the Grand Canal to the east, the West Canal is also composed of multiple canals, but the most important of them is the Xianghan Canal, which has two key projects.
The first is to repair the Danjiang Reservoir and block the water of the Danjiang River from flowing into the Baihe River.
The second is to dig through the Fangcheng Pass, and the water of the Baihe River will be connected to the Shahe River in Henan and flow into the Caishui.
He had read the piece given to him by the prince, and it mentioned a lot of detailed data to support the feasibility of this plan.
However, Li Shimin believes that it will not be easy to repair the Danjiang Reservoir and dig the Chengcheng Pass.
Especially now the imperial court is the capital of Hanjing, the Danjiang River is just above the northwest of the capital, blocking the Danjiang River to build a dam, which means that there is a reservoir on the head of Hanjing, once the embankment is broken, Hanjing may become an ocean.
And it is also easy to become a hidden danger, if in the event of a war, the enemy digs the reservoir embankment, that is the flooding of Hanjing.
And the Fangcheng pass is so easy to dig, the prince said that digging two zhang two feet low, there are more than 100 miles to pass.
The project is not big, but who can guarantee that two feet and two feet are enough If the digging is done and the water is opened, the consequences will be quite serious, especially in terms of reputation.
The emperor picked it up and cut the steak for himself, and while cutting him, he thought that the prince was getting older and older, but he seemed to be a little stubborn in his personality.
Determine one thing, and the nine cows can't pull it back.
It's really a headache for a character, and I don't know how he became like this.
He was a little nostalgic for the old Chengqian, when he was more obedient.
The meal was somewhat tasteless.
After the meal, Cheng Qian got up and dismissed, Li Shimin waved his hand, and he didn't stay.
As soon as he returned to the East Palace and sat down, Ma Zhou arrived.
Ma Xiang's face was happy, probably because he wanted good news.
Let Gu guess, could it be that the southwest teacher has won a big victory" Cheng Qian asked with a smile.
"Your Highness's eyes are like torches, and it is indeed a good news for the Taishi."
Ma Zhou sent a good telegram, "I just received the flying pigeon express delivery, the Taishi led the fleet to sail south a few days ago, and broke through the five states of China, including China, with 5,000 soldiers, and now the rebels are frightened. ” "Feng Ang has already sent his son to Jingshi, and he himself has also received orders from Taishi to send troops to quell the rebellion."
"Lingnan An" Ma Zhou was amazed by Li Chao's strategy to quell the chaos this time.
Directly bypassed the wait-and-see Feng An, since the departure of Liuqiu, directly by sea quietly killed Qinzhou, first take Qinzhou and then take Luozhou, Ning Changzhen Feng Xuan set into a big chaos, not only relieved the siege of Jiangzhou, but also gave the rebels a hammer, and forced Feng Ang to no longer wait and see, had to send his son into Beijing as a hostage, and raised troops to quell the chaos.
Cheng Qian's blood boiled when he listened, and he imagined in his mind how the teacher would sail on the sea through the wind and waves, how he would raid Qinzhou and capture the city in one fell swoop.
He slapped his palm on his thigh, "I want to be a part of it." ” Then his eyes lit up.
"Ma Xiang, you said that if I asked my father to go to Lingnan to comfort Lingnan, would my father agree?"
Ma Zhou was surprised, the prince wanted to go to Lingnan He shook his head.

"His Royal Highness is the prince of Datong, the body of a daughter, how can he leave the capital lightly and get involved in danger."
The crown prince is the capital of the country, and the prince is still so young today, especially if the prince wants to go to a sinister place like Lingnan, not to mention that the emperor does not agree, even if the whole dynasty is up, there will be no one who agrees.
"Ma Xiang, I want to go to Lingnan."
The prince said resolutely.
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly, why is the prince so stubborn now.
On the same day, Ma Jing persuaded for a long time, but as soon as the idea of the prince came out, it became more and more determined, the more Ma Zhou persuaded him, the more he made up his mind to go to Lingnan, and finally Ma Zhou was helpless.
Out of the East Palace, Ma Zhou asked to see the emperor.
"The prince said he was going to Lingnan" Li Shimin was stunned, and then shook his head, "This kid, I just didn't agree to his proposal for the West Canal, so he played this temper with me." ” Lingnan, Guangxi.
Under the city of Qinzhou, Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan were arguing.
Feng Xuan originally came to Qinzhou with Ning Changzhen from Jiangzhou City to recapture the Ning family's lair, but unexpectedly, his old nest Luozhou was taken away by Li Chao again.
The two rushed to the city of Qinzhou, thinking that it would be easy to recapture Qinzhou.
As a result, it was clear that there were only more than 1,000 Tang troops in the city, but Li Chao defended the city and anchored in the Qinjiang River with a fleet to assist in the defense, which made them helpless, and several attacks failed.
The artillery at the head of the city and on the ship of the Tang army is the most annoying, every time they assemble from afar, the Tang army begins to fire artillery, although the artillery is not far, and there is no accuracy, but the momentum is the most terrifying, and it is also the most deterrent to the military formation.
"Let's Strike at Night" Ning Changzhen's eyes were red, and he said very tiredly.
His wife, son, and daughter had fallen into the hands of the Tang people, and I heard that they were sent to Yazhou across the sea.
Now that this Qinzhou can't be captured, he Ning Changzhen has suddenly become a lost dog.
"Report, a large number of soldiers and horses are coming."
"Where did it come from?"
"From the East" Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan looked at each other, coming from the east, could it be Chen Longshu "Beat the drums, meet the enemy" Amid the rumbling drums, the rebels turned around to meet the enemy.
An army slowly arrived.
The flag is like the sea, and the spear is like a forest.
A stone's throw away, the soldiers and horses stopped advancing.
A general rode out of the formation.
"Thou knowest me" A loud shout, like a bell.
"Feng Shuai" Numerous exclamations rang out, and many of the rebels recognized him.
Feng An, among the Lingnan chieftains, the most famous, the most powerful, and the patriarch of the Feng family among the three major families.
Feng Xuan stood in front of the formation, looking at this brother in a daze.
He was defeated and an outcast.
He remembered that back then, Chen Zhifo raised troops to attack Guangzhou, and his grandmother, Mrs.
Xian, asked him to lead his troops to fight Chen Zhifo.
Feng Xuan supported Chen Zhifo at that time, and he deliberately delayed after commanding the army, but the result was that this brother came to the army with a warrant from Mrs.
Tai, seized his military power with a word, and imprisoned him.
Originally, the position of the head of the Feng family was his, but because of that incident, he lost his inheritance.
Ning Changzhen's face was ashen, and he turned his head to look at Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan was stunned.
"If you don't give up your weapons and surrender quickly, it's not too late to know your way back, don't make a mistake to the end."
Feng Ang shouted an order.
Feng Xuan and Ning Changzhen were still there, but someone had already put down their weapons.
More people have abandoned their weapons.
When many of the Slang Fang chieftains saw Feng Ang appear and side with the Tang Army, they were already completely demoralized.
This time, they responded to Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan, also because they declared that this time the entire Lingnan was against the Tang Dynasty and wanted to protect the interests of the Lingnan people.
Qinzhou city head.
As soon as Feng Ang came, Li Chao went up to the city tower with Zhang Zhongjian, holding a clairvoyant mirror to watch.
"Feng Ang really didn't dare to rebel" Zhang Zhongjian was a little disappointed, Feng Ang was so strong that he didn't even dare to rebel, he only dared to make some small moves, and as soon as Datang was powerful, he immediately became a turtle with a shrunken head.
Li Chao smiled.

"Feng Ang showed up a few words, and he was able to make Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan's rebels abandon their weapons, which still shows that he, the king of Nanyue, has some ability."
"Indeed, in a word, the rebels are disarmed, and they are powerful."
Li Chao just sneered, people like Feng Ang are swaying, and they still want to divide the place, but they don't dare to come hard.
Only engaging in these small actions is purely looking for death.
Historically, he did succeed in doing so, the Lingnan Rebellion, Feng Ang has always stood still, and even when the imperial court asked Feng Ang to support Chen Longshu, he also found every excuse to delay, so that Chen Longshu suffered heavy losses.
If it weren't for the Turkic threat from the north in the imperial court at that time, Li Shimin would have sent a large army to conquer Lingnan.
Later, Wei Zheng advised, and Li Shimin endured it, and finally acquiesced in maintaining the status quo of Lingnan's secession, and continued to implement the policy of restraint, and Feng Xuan and others surrendered.
After the surrender, Feng Xuan was still his Luozhou assassin.
"Open the city gate and invite Feng An, Feng Xuan, Ning Changzhen, Pang Xiaogong, Zhou Xiaozhi and others to enter the city."
Li Chao ordered.
The rebels had all surrendered, and Feng Xuan and Ning Changzhen stood in front of Feng Ang with black faces and a word.
"I have wronged a few people, come and tie them up."
Feng Ang waved his hand, and his own soldiers came up and tied up Ning Feng Pang Thursday to Wuhuada.
The gate of Qinzhou was opened, and a member of the Tang generals came out and conveyed Li Chao's order.
Looking at the empty city gate, Feng Ang hesitated for a moment, and finally turned over and got on his horse, "The army is waiting outside the city, and a certain person enters the city to meet King Yue." ” Ning Changzhen, who was cut off his arms and tied up with flowers, sneered, "Feng Shuai is not afraid that Li Chao will ambush the knife and axe hand in the city, and as soon as you enter the city, you will come with a random knife."
Feng Ang shook his head.
"It's like this, we have no other choice, and I believe that Li Chao will not dare to do this." t1706231537:
