Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 35 Whispering

What time is this, and you still care about whether you have breakfast?Not only Eunuch Yao was speechless, but even Cheng Chumo was speechless.

This is the emperor summoned!This is the early court, the emperor and all the civil and military officials are waiting in the Tai Chi Hall.

In an instant, beads of sweat oozed from the forehead of the anxious Eunuch Yao, and he said repeatedly: "Oh, my uncle, hurry up!"

Eunuch Yao has passed on many decrees, whoever listens to the decree is not obedient, and who does not accept him?But this time, he met Su Cheng.

This is Su Cheng who dared to spank Princess Gao Yang's ass!Even Eunuch Yao has to admit cowardice.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go!" Su Cheng said helplessly.

The discussion in the Tai Chi Hall was still going on, and the proposal to build a border fortress was shelved for the time being, but Li Shimin seemed a little absent-minded.

Because what Cheng Yaojin said just now has been echoing in his heart, whether Su Cheng can use the limestone and clay everywhere to repair the city wall, it will be really useful!

Li Shimin was very excited when he thought of what he had brought, both excited and nervous.

He had expectations for Su Cheng, because he knew that Su Cheng was a bit miraculous. After being beaten forty times, he became intact in an instant, and all the damage was recovered.

But the other courtiers didn't expect much. If Su Cheng were to write a good poem, they would definitely look forward to it, thinking that Su Cheng would definitely be able to do it.

But repairing the walls with clay and limestone?

How is this possible!

Everyone was full of doubts, even Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others who were familiar with Su Cheng were very suspicious. They didn't want to favor Su Cheng in this regard.

Because the matter of repairing the city wall is no small matter, it must not be fooled, it is related to the lives of thousands of soldiers!

"Report to Your Majesty, Ankang Bo Sucheng has arrived outside the Tai Chi Hall!"

Wei Zheng's voice, who was reporting the incident, stopped abruptly, and Li Shimin was shocked: "Quick, Xuan'an Kangbo enters the palace!"

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Su Cheng entered the Hall of Tai Chi, and paid homage to the ground: "My minister, Su Cheng, sees Your Majesty!"

"Su Aiqing die!" Li Shimin repeatedly said: "I heard that Zhijie said that you can use clay and limestone to repair the city wall?"

Su Cheng said in a deep voice, "Go back to Your Majesty, yes!"

Ever since Su Cheng entered the hall, everyone's eyes had been on him, and after hearing what he said, there were a lot of discussions.

Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Uncle Ankang, I don't know if you know that the walls of the border town fortress must be strong, and it is definitely not enough to just smear it with mud!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Tang Shangshu, I naturally know this. I fired it with a secret method. The repaired city wall is absolutely very strong. It is very simple to repair. The only trouble is that we need to build a kiln for firing."

Burning with a secret method?

Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they heard it, can it be fired with a secret method?Although they don't understand, it sounds more reliable than mixing limestone and clay.

Li Shimin asked: "How do you listen, dear friends?"

Cheng Yaojin said loudly: "Your Majesty, building a kiln is not too much trouble. It is much easier than mining and transporting stones."

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, repairing the city wall is no small task, so don't be careless!"

Li Jing also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the frontier fortress is related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty, and the life and death of thousands of soldiers, so don't be careless!"

Fang Xuanling pondered: "If the kiln is built using local materials, then there is no need to mobilize the people, and there is no need to spend a lot of money!"

Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, at least I have never heard of this method, neither ancient books nor civil servants. The Ministry of Industry recruits skilled craftsmen from all over the world, and I have never heard of clay and limestone. Fire it to repair the city wall."

Other officials also commented: "Yes, I have never heard of the method of calcining clay. This method is too whimsical!"

"That's right, clay is still soil after being calcined, so can it still be turned into stone?"

"That is, soil is soil, and stone is stone. These are completely different things. It is impossible for soil to become stone!"

All the officials around were skeptical, but Su Cheng stood indifferently, which was not beyond his expectation, because it was difficult for people who knew this era to understand.

However, he was full of confidence.

Seeing Su Cheng's full confidence, Li Shimin, who was hesitant in his heart, asked again: "Su Cheng, are you really confident?"

Su Cheng smiled slightly and said: "I know that your Majesty and the other adults are hard to believe, and it is difficult for me to explain clearly. There is a good saying, the facts speak louder than words. I ask your majesty to allocate dozens of craftsmen, I just built a kiln outside Chang'an City, then fired clay and limestone, and built a section of the city wall for His Majesty to inspect, isn't that all right? Anyway, it's only ten days and half a month!"

Everyone was stunned at Su Cheng's words. That's right, everyone guesses what to guess, just let Su Cheng try it.

It's a mule or a horse coming out for a walk!

After Li Shimin heard this, the dark clouds in his heart dissipated immediately, and he raised his voice and said, "That's right, you'll know if you can try it! But, you seem to be very confident!"

The civil and military officials in the main hall couldn't help but feel terrified when they heard this, because the emperor actually said the three words "you boy".

It is intriguing to say these three words in the hall, because it is not like the address of the emperor to the minister, but more like the address of the elders to the juniors.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Of course, although I am young, I have a sense of proportion, and I will never joke about the lives of soldiers and the safety of border towns!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "If you succeed, then you have contributed a lot, and I will reward you a lot!"

No one had any objection to the other civil and military officers, because they understood the significance of this to Datang, and this was indeed a great achievement.

They all hoped that Su Cheng would succeed.

Even Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is looking forward to Su Cheng's success, although Su Cheng's success will make everyone in the Ministry of Industry feel ashamed and look very incompetent.

Tang Jian said with a smile: "It seems that Ankangbo is full of confidence. I don't know if Ankangbo dares to issue a military order?"

All eyes are on Su Cheng. I don't know if Su Cheng dares to issue a military order?Judging by Su Cheng's confident appearance, he must be daring, right?

Of course Su Cheng dared, just joking, how could a city wall made of cement and bricks be weak?

Su Cheng laughed and said, "Tang Shangshu, are you stupid? Why should I issue a military order? This should be a matter for your Ministry of Industry!"

puff!Everyone laughed, especially Cheng Yaojin laughed more cheerfully.Most of the people in the main hall were veterans who followed Li Shimin, and the relationship was relatively harmonious. At that time, it was also because the emperor was in a good mood now.

Tang Jian was immediately embarrassed. He originally thought that Su Cheng was young and easy to fool, so he used the aggressive method, but he was despised instead.
