People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 217 Tai Chi

Li Ke was about to rush to train recruits when he saw Li Zheng's weird movements.

Looking curious, Li Ke asked, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you see that I was practicing boxing?" Li Zheng was still practicing Tai Chi.

Li Ke looked at him and asked, "Is there such a soft punch?"

"It's called Taijiquan. Although it's not so authentic, it's better than nothing." Li Zheng was still punching slowly.

Looking at Li Zheng's movements, there seemed to be a kind of leverage between pushing and pulling.

Li Ke understood a little bit, "Your boxing method seems to have some skills."

"That's right, practicing this boxing method can not only practice moves, but also strengthen your body and prolong your life." Li Zheng said while practicing.

"A boxing technique that prolongs life?" Li Ke asked curiously, "Is there such a boxing technique?"

"There must be." Li Zheng said while practicing boxing: "Don't think this boxing is slow, there is a reason for being slow."

Li Ke practiced following Li Zheng's movements.

Li Zheng went on to say: "Taijiquan pays attention to calmness and restraint, which can exercise people's character and calm people's mind."

While practicing, Li Ke yawned and felt sleepy.

After a few more punches with Li Zhengwu, he left to practice recruits.

Li Zheng was still practicing Tai Chi one move at a time, and stopped his movements after more than half an hour.

Then he went to the stables to see how the Kang Kang was being built.

The hearth outside the wall is almost finished, and the stone bed and chimney are now being erected.

In November of the fourth year of Zhenguan, a letter of credence was sent to Chang'an.

Li Shimin was not in a good mood after receiving this letter of credence.

Tuyuhun died, and Tuyuhun, who had held on for three months, could no longer sustain Tubo's offensive.

The king of Tuyuhun fled to the west, and Tubo annexed all the territory of Tuyuhun, and now confronts the Tang army in the Gobi, which is a few miles away in the Hexi Corridor.

This also means that there is no buffer zone of Tuyuhun between Datang and Tubo.

Fortunately, now that the Tang Dynasty has seized Qinghai, Li Shimin sat in the Tai Chi Hall and asked the courtiers all over the hall, "Now King Tuyuhun has come to write a letter of credence, hoping that the Tang Dynasty will save him and take back Tuyuhun's territory."

"Your Majesty!" Qin Qiong took a step forward and said, "I thought that preparations should be made early. There is bound to be a battle between Tubo and Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Yaojin also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead three thousand troops to capture Songtsen Gampo alive."

Some civil servants also suggested that peace can be negotiated at this moment.

Li Shimin listened to the discussions of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty with a headache.

Tuyuhun held on for three months but still couldn't hold on.

In fact, Tuyuhun's territory is very small, only the size of a state capital in Datang.

It was originally a rare buffer zone between Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

Some sighed in disappointment.

The officials couldn't make up their minds, so Li Shimin had no choice but to let the officials retreat first.

A few days later, another letter of credence was sent to Datang.

Songtsan Gampo hoped that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo would have a good relationship forever.

He also hopes to return to the territory of Qinghai.

After receiving this reply, Li Shimin's face was very ugly, "Come here! Go and get Lu Dongzan back to me!"

Du Ruhui quickly said: "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to arrest Lu Dongzan at this time."

Li Shimin was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead, and he wanted to take back the Qinghai territory he had finally obtained.

Lu Dongzan was guilty in Datang, as long as Lu Dongzan's contract with Tubo one day ago is still valid, Qinghai is still justified under the control of Datang.

Li Zheng, Cheng Chumo, and Li Tai were eating hot pot.

There are still some vegetables in the hot pot. The vegetables in the greenhouse are still small, but they are ready to eat.

It is very tender and comfortable to eat. Li Tai took a bite of green vegetables to relieve his greasy, and exhaled comfortably, "It's really rare to eat a bite of vegetables in such cold weather."

The wind brought snowflakes into the house, and the three of them realized that it was snowing outside.

Cheng Chumo held the bowl and ate the meat, looked out the window and said, "The snow comes really early in this weather."

Li Zheng said melancholy: "This year's winter will be very long, and it will be cold for a long time."

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng and asked, "How do you know?"

"Because the cold air will sweep across the entire inland of Guanzhong this year, and the center of the cold high pressure is located in the Turkic grasslands. Its scope is very large and wide. At this time, many people will freeze to death. This is also related to the climate at sea. complex."

Li Zheng went on to say: "The cloud cluster of cold high pressure is very large, and the climate in South Asia will appear correspondingly abnormal. Some people say that this phenomenon is the La Nina phenomenon."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, Li Tai stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth in confusion.

Cheng Chumo's face was dull.

After being quiet for a long time, Li Tai turned to look at Cheng Chumo, "Do you understand?"

Cheng Chumo shook his head vigorously, "I don't understand."

Li Zheng spoke clearly and logically, but Li Tai didn't understand what cold and high pressure was, and what South Asia was.

Li Tai smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about the weather."

"I understand a little bit, I read about it in books." Li Zheng took a sip of hot soup to warm up his body, and happened to see the very abnormal climate phenomena in Tang Dynasty in a climate historical allusion.

Especially during the Zhenguan Dynasty, there will be a lot of abnormal weather.

Li Zheng picked up the sliced ​​meat in the hot pot and said, "Let your father prepare early, this year's severe winter will be very long."

When Li Tai returned to Chang'an, he asked some old scholars.

This year the snow will come early and go quickly. This winter should be a relatively warm year.

And there is not much heavy snow in Chang'an.

These old scholars seem to be right, Li Tai thought about it and asked, "Will this year be a very long and severe winter?"

A group of old scholars laughed and said, "The weather will be warm again soon."

Li Zheng's words still made Li Tai's heart flutter, whether there will be heavy snow this year as Li Zheng said.

Just in case, Li Tai still told his father about it, it was right to take precautions early.

The snow didn't stop all night, Li Zheng got up early and continued to practice Tai Chi.

Li Shimin came all the way to Jingyang, and it was novel to see every move Li Zheng was practicing.

"What are you doing?"

Li Zheng still brought Tai Chi and said: "I am practicing a boxing method for strengthening the body. People in the world call it Tai Chi."

"Tai Chi? Who dares to use such a name for boxing?"

"It's a Taoist priest named Zhang Sanfeng." Li Zheng continued to move.

"Is this boxing technique very powerful?"

Li Zheng punched slowly, and a gust of cold wind blew by, making people shiver.

"Your Majesty, if you didn't feel it just now, it might be your internal force."

Seeing Li Shimin looking at him suspiciously, Li Zheng changed his words and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well practice with your majesty. It is said to be good for your body and mind, and it is said to prolong your life."

Li Shimin glanced around, imitating Li Zheng's technique and started punching.

Li Zheng made another move and said: "Does your majesty feel hot all over now?"
