.Chapter 56 Birth and Entering the World

The next day was still a yàn sunny day.

There were some red leaves on the ground, and early in the morning, I asked the palace nv to clean up.

Li Wei quietly took away Zheng Gong Chu Xuebai's little elbow. After all, he was still a little girl. She was a little overwhelmed with her first experiences and was a little unbearable. She tied Li Wei tightly with her arms all night.

He got up, punched, and trotted for a while. He saw Zheng Gongchu standing neatly at the entrance of the main hall, and looked at him with a smile. Gongnv was also looking at Zheng Gongchu, the son of the famous family who entered the palace for the first time in history. The Queen of the Wang family in Taiyuan is not counted, but the Wang family in Taiyuan has already fallen, which is a match.

Bier called her face wash and asked Li Wei to wash her comb. Zheng Gongchu also heard the legendary story of the little palace nv, so she didn't argue. She stood by and looked and said, "Your Majesty, do we want to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother."

"If you want to go, go, I'll be with you."

She doesn't have to experience the etiquette of paying homage to her parents-in-law, but she can do it if she wants to go there, but she doesn't blame her for being too many gifts.

Take Zheng Gongchu to Shangyang Palace.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Can you get used to it in the Eastern Palace?"

It was just a polite word, but how did you know if you were used to it? Zheng Gongchu could still hear this and said, "I am okay."

"After Honger was seriously ill, the style of xing became very casual. Your family style is good, and it was just right to come to the East Palace..." Speaking of this, he suddenly held back and looked at Wu Zetian, and said, "I ate a lot yesterday, but I haven't come back to my senses now. Queen Mother, please chat with them."

Zetian bowed and said.

It’s not that stingy. Queen Wang’s affairs have been so many years since they were gone. If they don’t mention the right or wrong, they have been dead for many years. Unless someone draws it off to deal with Wu Zetian, they won’t be angry because of Li Zhi’s misunderstanding.

Then he said to Li Wei: "Hong'er, you are here just right. I ask you, what do you think about your father's desire for Fengshan?"

Li Wei replied carefully: "Qi reported to his mother, the son minister thought it was inappropriate. Ashide Wenbo has not been captured yet, and the Turks have not been truly convinced. There are many luàn puffs in the country. However, the father insisted on Fengshan, and the son minister could not stop him, so he had to find a way to raise the cost of Fengshan from other places."

"I am very pleased that you have this idea. Not only you, but I also think it is inappropriate, but your father's body... If you want to go, you will only have more money. Over the years, your father has done many things for the country. As a great ruler in history, he can also be called an excellent conservative king. Besides, martial arts, he conquered Goryeo and won the entire Western Turks. The people are in a rough state, and even if they are Fengshan, they can barely make sense. Just follow his heart..."

"yes."

"Wei Yuanzhong has made great contributions in Jiangnan and has been out for many years. It is time to recall."

Li Wei looked at his mother in shock. This was an "extra reward" for himself, and said, "My mother, you have good deeds to your father, so that your sons and ministers can enjoy it."

"What taste is it? You are a matter of taking care of your father at home and getting married. Your father... I should do it if you are a good person to him."

Li Wei didn't guess whether the sentence "Yes," was inconsistent with the words.

"You guys go back."

"yes."

After walking out, Zheng Gongchu asked strangely: "Your Majesty, I will look at it today, it is not the rumor outside..."

Knowing that he had made a mistake, he immediately covered his mouth.

Li Wei smiled and said nothing. How could she see the feeling? She needs the stable development of the country and the contradictions are too qualitative. After all, her father is alive and his righteousness is insufficient. Could it be that a father and son meet each other? Parents also need to be stable to prevent themselves from being too rushing.

Everyone needs time, parents need time, smooth out the sharpness of their return from Qinghai, and they need time, waiting for their father... and can't say it out loud. When my father was alive, the court was about this. The showdown was about how my mother chose after his father passed away.

In fact, he was nostalgic about power, not as heavy as Li Zhi and Wu Zetian imagined. However, his mother was too murderous. If her sympathy was like Liu E of the Northern Song Dynasty, she would learn from Song Renzong to endure it. At worst, she would assist her mother. Besides, her mother was not stubborn in thinking, and the mother and son worked together to make the country stronger. But her mother was not Empress Dowager Liu. The more power he gave, the greater the ambition, and everything could happen. So she had to take advantage of the righteousness first and take part in part to constrain the rights first.

Are there anyone else below?

My mother was not hostile to me, but there were still many ministers in the court who were hostile to me.

It was not like what Zheng Gongchu saw this morning, where the family of three was performing a palace fighting drama, which felt like acting, but the people below were fighting with real swords and guns. There was no distinction between black and white, no right or wrong, and even like some ministers who were Pei Yan Gu, who was a Qingliu minister, foolishly did many things that were unfavorable to him for his mother.

In Shangyang Palace, Wu Zetian said to Li Shoucheng: "Go and call Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi."

"Here."

After a while, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were called to Shangyang Palace together.

The two of them fell down, and Wu Zetian did not let them get up, and asked, "A few days ago, when Sier, when you were talking about family matters with the Supreme Emperor, you seemed to have accidentally told the Emperor that he had asked the Supreme Emperor to be in charge of the feudal throne. Is it your idea or Sier's idea?"

"Empress Dowager, my nephew doesn't know," Wu Sansi said with a blank look on his head.

"Si'er, why do you say that?"

"The Queen Mother, my nephew also thought of it by accident. There are many rumors outside that it is not good for the Supreme Emperor's health. The Supreme Emperor was lucky to Ruzhou and went to Fengshan again, and the rumors would be resolved. So my nephew advised me."

"I know that this bad idea is what you think. Is it really for the body of the Supreme Emperor?" Wu Zetian scolded angrily. Her husband's body was not only Ming Chongyan, but also several imperial doctors with excellent medical skills, and more or less could be seen. This period of time was almost a reflection of her. If she fell ill again, it would be impossible. So she was also very opposed to her husband Fengchan. It was not that she had done so much for the Tang Dynasty. Shouldn't it be that she had sealed the Zen again?

I was worried that the journey was long and I had to climb Mount Tai again. What if it happened? But my husband seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and he had to go there.

The people may not know his body, but how can a few important officials not know? Feng Shici Chan, what should I think or what should I think?

He continued to shout and asked, "Don't I know what your idea is that my son is saving money. After the Fengshan period comes, he will spend a lot of money. As long as the Supreme Emperor proposes it, my son will definitely oppose it. The contradiction is exactly what you want. But does the result disappoint you?"

"The Queen Mother..."

"How smart and capable do you think you are? If that happens, you won't need so many gods in my house. If you have to do this in the future, I have to choose another son among the martial arts sects."

"Yes," Wu Chengsi retreated in a cold sweat.

But Wu Zetian didn't make any statement. She still needed these dozen nephews to do things for herself and could not destroy her own arms.

...

The Zheng family NV finally successfully entered the East Palace.

Luoyang's discussion also became less and he had to do whatever he should do. He had to support his family. Gossip cannot let the whole family have food to eat.

After Liu Rengui got out of the capital, he came to Pei Xingjian's mansion.

The world is getting older and older, and the courage is getting smaller and smaller.

He had been rising and falling in the officialdom for a long time, and he became more cautious in his actions. Although he agreed to Li Wei and wrote a letter to Li Wei, he thought about it and felt scared when he thought about it. This was a matter of taking advantage of the situation and the best time to propose. However, he could not imagine that he would be dismissed from politics immediately like Hao Chujun.

So I found Pei Xingjian.

Understand military affairs, and have two great victories, and their momentum is booming.

The letters were written together, sharing risks and strengthening persuasion.

Pei Xingjian welcomed him to the mansion very politely. Kudi came out to make tea for Liu Rengui and sat down. Pei Xingjian said, "Is that fragrant wind blowing Liu Xianggong in today?"

"If it is Xiangfeng, Pei Shilang is the real Xiangfeng now."

"How dare I compare my achievements with Liu Qing?"

After a while, Liu Rengui's future intentions were expressed.

"navy?"

"Yes, Your Majesty's proposal was told to me last year when I was on a tour. I was surprised at that time. Later, the more I thought about it, I felt that Your Majesty's proposal was more reasonable. Others didn't know, but I personally crossed the sea and conquered Goryeo. The first time I was due to the tight time and the poor quality of the ship, I happened to encounter a hurricane. At that time, the ship I was in was the largest ship and the best ship craftsman, and I escaped by chance. I still think of the power of the sea, and the two battled each other. The cause of the accident was very serious.

There are many, one is that time is tight and the quality of ship repairs is poor. The second is that ships mostly use previous drawings, and even refer to some river boat types, which are not suitable for sailing in the sea. It was not until later that they gradually adjusted. There is another reason, boatmen have poor ability to control ships and many ships. Although many boatmen have been recruited to come, most of them are driving small boats, and some have never even come to the sea. Therefore, when encountering a hurricane, they are in a panic and do not know what to do. Most ships that have had an accident were beaten by the wind."

Pei Xingjian didn't understand the naval battle, but it didn't hinder his thinking ability. After thinking for a while, he said, "Liu Qing's words are reasonable."

"Pei Shilang, look at the map again. There are many large islands in the southeastern sea area. Together, it is as big as the land of our Tang Dynasty and the terrain. Although the weather is hot and the terrain is complex, once it is cultivated, it is the most suitable place for growing crops and fruits. There are also minerals. Jiangnan was once the Mozhou of Jiuzhou, but Jiangnan has now become the richest place in the Tang Dynasty. Maybe we can't see it, maybe even His Majesty can't see it, but the land is inhabited by its residence.

The country and tribes that live in are backward and small, so your Majesty will not let go. This is also for the sake of the future. In addition, the country of Japan, His Majesty used the strategy of fighting against snipe and clams, and provoking the battle between Japan and Silla, which has become inevitable. But the result of the battle is to eventually destroy these two countries. Japan has obtained a large number of sea ships from our dynasty and has been through sea wars for a long time, so our dynasty is not prepared. On the sea, not on land, it is possible that if you don’t land, you will suffer a great loss. Therefore, you must prepare now."

Pei Xingjian couldn't help but lean on the table and think.

Liu Rengui said again: "Pei Shilang, again, the Japanese envoy is coming soon, should we also give them a surprise? It's because he has some money, but compared to Fengshan..."

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, don't take it seriously. The Supreme Emperor's health is not as good as before, so we think... we should do our part, but since it is Your Majesty's idea, I will help you write a letter."

It was discussed for a long time.

In the early morning, the two of them jointly wrote a memorial to establish the party rules and the navy. They were afraid of controversy and dared not make it too large. They stationed 4,500 officers and soldiers in Dengzhou, twenty large warships, and forty or fifty small boats. They were not only daily training, but also trained more sailors who could control ships for the court. This was not a ship from later generations. Once the steering wheel was taken, everything was solved.

There are main sails and secondary sails, and each sail has many canvas. There are many canvas on it and the height of it are all very particular. Even the rudder is not something that can be used to move the fingers later. After several improvements, it is still a very difficult job to take the helm.

Especially when encountering dangerous situations, such as falling into a reef or a storm, if you do not have enough experience, you will only sink a ship and die on the sea.

In the long run, no minister can see it. But the ministers who know the inside story can guess that the establishment of this army will inevitably consolidate the Japanese's ambition to go to Silla, and may even allow the Silla people to see a turning point, forcing them to buy a large number of weapons from the Tang Dynasty.

However, the ultimate goal is to conquer Silla and Japan. Although the money for huā is not small, from the establishment of the army to the annual military expenditure and ship maintenance costs, it is nothing on this big list, and it has come out of the wall. But they don’t even agree with the expedition to Silla and Japan. Domestic affairs have not been settled yet. When will it be Silla and Japan’s turn? So there are still some opposition voices.

Listening to the quarrel, Li Wei was very unhappy. Why did his father want to be Fengshan? It was not very disturbing. He did anything by himself and weighed it repeatedly. There were so many ministers whine. He said, "Don't argue with everyone. The words between Liu Qing and Pei Qing are my ideas. You don't understand military affairs, just like last year I said that the Turks would rebel, and you all were ignorant and disbelief. This move will take less than five years to see its intention."

It interrupted the dispute between these ministers very roughly.

In fact, many ministers did not object to support Wu Zetian, but they did not agree with it because of their different ideas.

However, Li Wei's words, you don't understand military affairs, leaving everyone speechless.

If a person has no far-reaching worries, he must have immediate concerns. From Li Jing to Su Dingfang, then to Pei Xingjian, and then to His Majesty the Emperor, the four generations of descendants of this lineage shines with magical brilliance in military affairs. The emperor doesn’t know how he escaped from the siege of so many fierce Tubo people. Look at his master Pei Xingjian, and he doesn’t know how to fight, and the war is over.

Li Wei finished speaking and looked at his parents.

This is not for my own struggle for power, but for the future of the country, and for you two old people to make some money. Without money, you can go to Fengshan for your own hands.

It's time for you to talk.

Li Zhi coughed and said, "Don't argue, it's better to give it a try. Besides, shipping has to be put on the agenda. Lingnan has developed a large area because of sugar, but taxation is not easy. If it is transported by sea, it can save taxes to the capital. If it is not taken, how can it be given? But the sea is vast and the country has been neglecting to manage it. I heard that there were occasional bandits in the palace. If all the sea passengers and ships were not in large groups, they might be baptized. Having a small navy is also a deterrent. Besides, the cost is not very high, and the country is richer and does not care about these expenses."

The Grand Secretary finally made a statement and finally calmed down the discussion.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and implemented a practical thing like a chāhuā.

...

Li Wei said to Zheng Gongchu, welcome to this big cage, there is no light.
