People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 52 The Feng Shui of the Jin Family

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Yumen Pass. The Tubo army has passed by several times. Do you want to increase troops!"

Li Shimin took the military newspaper and sighed with a sad face.

Datang's family and country are poor, and it is very difficult for the people to make a living. Li Shimin's heart is gloomy, it is difficult!
Li Tai came to Jingyang, and after searching around, he finally found Li Zheng in the field.

"Li Zheng, what are you doing?" Li Tai asked.

"Come and help me put these potatoes into the bamboo basket." Li Zheng said.

Although he didn't know what a potato was, Li Tai still helped Li Zheng sort out the potatoes.

There were many people in the fields picking up potatoes, throwing them out of the soil one by one and putting them into bamboo baskets.

After packing up these potatoes, the granary in the village is already full, and this granary is not enough, and several more must be built.

Li Tai asked with a potato in his hand, "Is this thing edible?"

"Why can't you eat it? I'll make you fries." Li Zheng returned home with a basket of potatoes.

Heat the pan and add some lard and start frying the potatoes slowly.

Li Tai sat aside and said, "My father asked me to ask you why you didn't become an official in the court."

"Not interested." Li Zheng said.

"Then what are you interested in?" Li Tai asked again.

Li Zheng took a piece of fries out of the pot with chopsticks and said, "Actually, I have a nickname called the infrastructure maniac, and I am interested in infrastructure."

"Life is nothing but fame and fortune, and what is infrastructure?"

Li Zheng handed a stack of French fries to Li Tai, "Eat it."

Picking up some hot fries, Li Tai ate it in his mouth, "This is delicious."

"When the tomatoes are ripe, it will be more delicious when dipped in tomato sauce." Li Zheng said.

After a few bites of the fries on the plate, Li Tai asked, "Are there any more?"

"No, I have to cook it myself." Li Zheng said.

Li Tai was still a little unfulfilled, "I went to see the father this time, and the father looked very angry."

"Really? He didn't kill his relatives righteously?"

"How is it possible, I haven't reached the point of being rebellious."

Li Tai in history did not go to the point of being rebellious, so to speak, he was only demoted after being eager to try.

In the later period of Zhenguan, all of Li Shimin's sons were rebelling against him.

Li Zhengyu said to him earnestly: "Actually, in the future, there will be many people who will turn against your father and emperor, and there will not be more than one of you."

Li Tai smiled and said, "How is that possible."

"You will understand later." Li Zheng sighed: "Sometimes, being decisive is not a bad thing. The opportunity is right in front of you. Just like your father and emperor, seize the opportunity and make it happen."

Li Tai knew that what Li Zheng was alluding to was something about Xuanwumen.

"Don't talk about this, this is a taboo, and besides, I won't be as tiring and troublesome as you said."

"When you become the emperor, I don't have to be urged by your father to be an official all day long."

"That's really cheap for you." Li Tai sneered.

"you are welcome."

"I don't want to rebel, in case... right?"

"I don't want to be an official either, Chang'an is too dangerous."

Sure enough, the moral values ​​of the two are on the same level.

Rebellion is risky.

Officers need to be cautious.

Hit it off, drink and eat meat.

Putting the wine and meat on the table, Li Tai said, "As expected, it's still a good day for you here."

"The only way to solve worries is to eat meat." Li Zheng also said.

When it was time for dinner, Cheng Chumo hurried over and said, "Did you know? There was an accident at Yumen Pass."

After saying that, Cheng Chu sat down silently and started eating without any hesitation.

Cheng Chumo and Li Tai are really addicted to eating and drinking, right?

Li Tai ate and said, "Your pork is really good. Next time I will ask the government to prepare some."

After the meal, Cheng Chumo said to Li Zheng, "Tubo invaded Yumen Pass, and many generals in the DPRK and China are invited to fight."

Li Zheng ate peanuts and said, "Don't worry, the thing at Yumenguan doesn't lay eggs, and there are no shops in front of the village or back. Songtsan Gampo won't think about attacking there."

"Why?" Cheng Chumo asked again.

Looking at the sky, Li Zheng said, "Just think about how many troops and horses are needed to fight the next Yumen Pass."

"At least [-]." Cheng Chumo replied.

"That's okay, [-] soldiers and horses are [-] mouths. Attacking Yumen Pass is not that simple. The terrain is unfavorable, and there is no water source around. It is thankless for Tubo to attack there. He would not be so stupid to attack Yumen Pass."

"Then where do you think they will attack?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Li Zheng smiled deeply, "They won't attack anywhere."

"Then what are they doing by harassing the border?"

Jiu Jin raised his head slightly, and Li Zheng took a sip of cold water and said to him, "Now the Tubo Songtsan Gampo is not coveting Yumen Pass. Even if Yumen Pass is attacked, where will the Tubo army go to supply supplies?"

"You're right." Cheng Chumo nodded.

Li Zheng said again: "What Tubo wants is the territory of Tuyuhun. This time Tuyuhun is going to prepare to attack the Tang Dynasty. It is Songtsan Gampo's time."

"The so-called harassing Yumen Pass is just a plan by Songtsan Gampo. What he really hopes is that Tuyuhun will enter Liangzhou, and the harassing Yumen Pass is just a hope that the DPRK will disperse its troops to help Yumen Pass, and wait for Tuyuhun to open a hole. If Tuyuhun succeeds , then it is very likely that Tubo will attack Guanzhong on a large scale."

"What if Tuyuhun loses."

"Songtsen Gampo will also attack us."

"Isn't that the same?"

Li Tai also understood, and said to Cheng Chumo: "It's different that Tubo wants to use Tuyuhun to test our reality. If Tang's troops are severely damaged by the Turkic campaign, he will definitely take this opportunity to attack."

"If Tuyuhun failed, when Songtsen Gampo came to attack, he would just light up his fist."

"Tell us that the current Tubo is already very strong, let the Tang Dynasty be afraid and vigilant, so that the Tubo can take this to rest for many years."

"Sorry I still don't understand." Cheng Chumo nodded.

Li Zheng said, "Then let me ask you, what would you do if you fancy a girl and want to tie her up as Mrs. Yazhai?"

"Of course it's the first step." Cheng Lu didn't even need to think about it.

"That's incredible, Songtsen Gampo came to step on it first."

When Cheng Chumo returned to Chang'an, a group of old generals were discussing about Yumen Pass and Tuyuhun.

Because the Cheng family had spirits, the Duke was also happy to drink it.

Cheng Yaojin stopped his son and shouted, "Chu Mo, would you like to go to Yumen Pass to fight?"

"I don't want to." Cheng Chumo shook his head.

The words were stunned for a while.

Cheng Yaojin asked again: "What did you just say?"

"I said I don't want to go to Yumen Pass." Cheng Chumo said again.

If this is the daily mileage, Chu Mo will be the first to rush to the front to fight. Cheng Yaojin also likes his son's heroism and asks, "Chu Mo, did you eat something dirty today?"

Cheng Chumo stood lazily aside and said, "I didn't eat dirty food, the boy just thought that Tubo would not come to attack Yumen Pass."

After listening to Cheng Chumo's words, Qin Qiong immediately stood up and asked, "Why did you say this?"
