Chapter 190 News from Shanyin County
Chang'an, Tai Chi Palace.
His Majesty Li Shimin, the great imperialist leader, was enjoying the day after day sauna activities. Four ice basins were placed in the imperial study, but it was still hot and sweating like rain.
Due to the terrain of Tai Chi Palace, every summer it will enter the most difficult season of the year. Humidity and sultry are the norm. It is because of this that the Daming Palace will appear later.
Of course, historically speaking, the Daming Palace was a palace group built by Li Shimin for his father Li Yuan. However, the facts proved that when the Ming Dynasty construction broke ground, the old Li Yuan was no longer able to do it. When the construction was completed, Li Shimin's own had been dead for countless years.
So what exactly is the trick? Now we can only judge based on the imagination of future generations. However, the most critical factor is that the author still thinks that the Tai Chi Palace is not in good condition, so the idea of building the Daming Palace emerges.
Returning to the main story, Li Shimin was enjoying the sultry heat of the Daming Palace in pain and joy. A Hong Ling emergency report from 1,800 miles away suddenly caused a nameless fire to rise in his heart.
The Xueyantuo people were so brave that they didn't even say that they had entered the territory that originally belonged to the Turks without authorization, but now they dared to send troops to invade the Tang Dynasty, which really made them brave.
However, it was because of his own strength that he had made a small plan and tricked the Xueyantuo people into scammering them all without hurting one soldier and one by one. It was not embarrassing to say that it was not a shame.
"Your Majesty, don't you think this matter is a bit strange? Xue Yantuo's true pearl Yinan just received the title. Even if he is stupid, he would not be able to provoke a dispute at the border at this time, right?" Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, sent the Hongling urgent report by himself. After Li Shimin put the urgent report aside, he asked with some uncertainty.
Hong Ling reported urgently that the most important news is generally conveyed, but no matter how important the news is, it cannot be delivered 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 alone.
Therefore, when a Hongling report appears, it will often be sent to the Secretariat or subordinates as soon as possible, that is, three of the legendary three provinces and six ministries, and then the highest officials of the three provinces, namely the prime minister or the Pushe, decide whether to send them to the emperor based on the importance of the matter.
This time, the Hongling urgent report submitted by Shanyin County does not need to be submitted to Li Shimin. After all, the matter has already happened, and Xue Yantuo did not have the subsequent troops to follow up, at most it would be a border conflict.
But don't forget that Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yizhi is still in Shanyin County, which forced the old house to consider the possibility of a big move if the Xueyantuo people had a big move. Therefore, he hurried to find Li Shimin and handed over the battle report that was serious or not to the imperialist leader.
When Li Shimin faced the question raised by Fang Xuanling, he just smiled contemptuously: "The Xueyantuo people will not provoke border conflicts without authorization. There must be other reasons for this, but no matter what the reason is, the first thing that Zhenzhu Yinan did not explain the situation to me, and the second thing was not to send people to communicate with the border army. This was his biggest mistake!"
"What will 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 and asked about the next arrangements.
After all, there were three thousand people missing at once. Even if Xue Yantuo was afraid, he would not give up. There would definitely be some action next.
Li Shimin also had his own plans for this. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Send Tang Jian to come and ask him what Zhenzhu Yinan means and why he sent troops to attack the border."
"No!" Fang Xuanling responded.
"Also, the border troops must also be prepared to fight. If everything goes wrong, even if they fight to the last soldier, they will stop Xue Yantuo people in Mobei."
"No!" Fang Xuanling replied again.
After arranging these two things, Li Shimin seemed to remember something again and said with a tweet, "Xuanling, what is that Li Muyun busy with now? Do you know?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Xiaoyaohou seems to be tinking something called cement during this period. I heard that it is a powerful tool for building city walls, and also burning coke, saying that it is preparing to make steel. These are all said when the dog sent a letter some time ago." Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said.
"Preparing to make steel? Is this kid really a way to increase steel production?" Li Shimin frowned and said with some uncertainty.
When Li Muyun promised him that he would provide 500,000 kilograms of steelmaking in five years, he was honest and happy to hear it, but rationally told himself that such a thing was impossible. After all, how could a small county town be able to compare with the power of the entire Tang Dynasty?
Besides, Changsun Wuji's family is in the steel business. When he talks about this matter, the old fox sneered at the 500,000 kilograms of steel making in five years, thinking that Li Muyun was bragging.
But when Li Shimin heard Fang Xuanling talk about Shanyin County preparing to make steel, a heart that had lost hope thumped again.
"Your Majesty, I don't know whether it can increase the output. However, according to Yizhi's letter, Xiaoyao Hou personally guided an ordinary blacksmith in the county to create a horizontal knife in two days. When he tried the knife, he cut off the Baiqing horizontal knife with one knife, but the horizontal knife just broke the hole." Fang Xuanling basically said what he knew. He believed that his honest son would not deceive him in this matter.
You should know that the Hundred Refined Horizontal Swords of the Tang Dynasty are not comparable to ordinary swords. A knife often takes many processes and takes dozens of days to achieve success. Although it cannot be compared with the famous swords and swords of ancient times, it is generally the world's leading level at that time.
But even so, it was still cut off by the horizontal knife that was created in two days, which is enough to show that Li Muyun is indeed somewhat capable, at least in terms of the ability to cast a knife.
Just as Fang Xuanling believed in his son, Li Shimin also believed in Fang Xuanling's judgment. So when he heard that the knife he created in two days could cut off the Hundred Refined Strike Sword, a terrifying cold light immediately ejaculated in his eyes, and murmured: "I didn't expect that kid really had such ability. Now I suddenly had some confidence in him."
