Great Tang princess

Chapter 105 The Death of Lu Zhaolin

Watching the convoy set off slowly and finally disappearing from sight, Li Yuechen on the city wall still supported his chin with his hands and propped his elbows in the middle of the wall.

"Chen'er, why don't you go back?" Li Zhi asked.

"Brother has gone back, and I'm a little sad." Li Yuechen replied, "I won't see each other for a while in the future."

Wu Zetian smiled and patted her head: "No problem, Chang'an is not too far away from here. If there is something to do, send a fast horse to deliver the letter, and you will be there in two or three days."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Yeah!"

After agreeing, Li Yuechen also regained his good mood, and went to the Hall of Renshou with Li Zhi and his wife to chat for a while.

At least from the point of view of attitude, the set of remarks he made some time ago did not arouse Li Zhi's disgust, and even seemed to support him faintly.

Li Yuechen expressed that this was no surprise. After all, the last time Li Zhi offered to let her enter the court as an official, it already showed that his thinking was different from ordinary people.

……

Time is about to enter October, and Li Yuechen's teaching of the children in the Royal Farm has also accelerated a bit.

These children are smart and eager to learn. They use charcoal sticks to write on the walls every day, and they remember them firmly.

Li Yuechen plans to start adding math lessons to them next year. At the same time, because they live in the village, they can count crops and so on as practice at any time, so they should be able to master it faster.

The only pity is that she can't teach these children martial arts, otherwise it will give them an extra way to become soldiers in the future.

Datang attaches great importance to military merits. If he can get mixed up in the army, he will be able to achieve class leaps and completely turn around in the future.

But it is a pity that nutrition must be ensured in martial arts, and she still has no money to let these children eat meat every day to support high-intensity training.

But also take into account the possibility of injury and the like.

After all, they can't compare with themselves. First of all, they are born with great strength, maybe they just belong to that kind of talent.

In addition, they will take a bath with various herbs after practicing every day. They cannot afford such a luxurious way.

So I can only teach some culture. As for whether there will be a chance to go to the battlefield to gain military exploits in the future, it depends on the situation.

After finishing today's teaching, Li Yuechen went to look inside the farmland again.

Now different brands have been erected on the edge of the field, recording different fertilizer formulas, etc., for comparative experiments.

After looking around, he found nothing wrong. Li Yuechen nodded, returned to the village, got into the carriage and left.

The carriage was staggering on the way back to the palace, Fu saw that her expression seemed a little melancholy, and couldn't help but ask, "What's your Highness's trouble?"

"Money." Li Yuechen replied with a sigh, "If you want to use pen and paper for them to learn, it's too expensive."

Fulai nodded: "Indeed, the price of paper is extremely expensive nowadays, and the shops in Nanshi really can't afford it."

Therefore, this is one of the important reasons why learning is expensive in this era.

But when it comes to papermaking... Li Yuechen also finds it difficult.

I have indeed learned this thing, but it is all on paper after all. I have never been to a paper mill, and I don't know how this thing works.

But if necessary, you should really try, if you can bring down the price of paper.Then the information recorded on paper can also be reduced in price!

After more than a thousand years, information has become extremely cheap.

The popular paper in this period was rattan paper, which was generally used for offerings to the royal family or noble families.

The slightly lower grade is the hemp paper, which is not very good quality, very brittle, and relatively thick.

"In this way, you can send someone to inquire about the current papermaking technology... It's best to find a papermaker to talk to me directly." Li Yuechen said.

Fulai looked a bit embarrassed: "Your Highness, is this inappropriate? Now the paper mills in the city are controlled by aristocratic families, if we let them know..."

He didn't continue talking, but the incident of Li Yuechen's attempted kidnapping last time was still vivid in his memory.

Although it was unsuccessful in the end, and many people were killed, but if they really did this, it would probably cause a bigger counterattack.

"Could it be too much fanfare? Go quietly." Li Yuechen waved his hand.

Although as a princess, it is completely fine to forcefully find a craftsman to come over and order her to speak out.

But if this is done, it may cause a series of troubles.

Let alone Li Yuechen now, even the emperor Li Zhi does not have the power to fight against all the aristocratic families.

If you really want to tear your face, if you don't do it right, the world will be in chaos!
After all, there is a problem with this system!

Although it is said to be an autocratic monarchy, the imperial power is not centralized, just like a big company.

The emperor is the CEO, and the aristocratic family is the shareholder.Although it seems that the emperor is the boss, the shareholders also have a lot of say.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen scratched his hair. His history textbooks seemed to say that imperial power was highly concentrated during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

But the problem is that the fate of these two dynasties is also placed there, which shows that the high concentration of imperial power does not seem to be a good thing. If there is a foolish king, it will be completely abolished.

Li Yuechen's head hurts just thinking about it. What she wants is to make life on this land suffer as little as possible from wars and disasters.

But now it is found that no matter whether the imperial power is dispersed or centralized, it is not a good solution.

Is it possible to find a way to find a new system that fits the current environment?

More importantly, you must have enough strength to ensure that this system can be implemented, which means you need the support of the emperor.

But how many years old dad can live... It's really hard to say.After all, it seems that there are really few emperors who have lived long since ancient times.

At that time, it should be my mother who will be the emperor, right?Will she support it?

Thinking about this headache, Li Yuechen felt a little sleepy, so he leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes, intending to squint for a while.

This carriage is not fast and rickety, which is just right.

Seeing that Li Yuechen closed his eyes, Fulai stopped talking, and began to think about how to complete the task assigned by the princess.

When the carriage entered the Eastern Capital City, the surrounding area suddenly became much more lively.

When passing by some square markets with wine shops, you can still hear a lot of joking voices inside.

Li Yuechen, who hadn't fallen into a deep sleep at first, opened his eyes, stood up and opened the curtains to take a look. He felt that some rich and noble buddies on the road were talking about something in disbelief.

It is worth mentioning that the folding fan invented by Li Yuechen has now been exiled from the palace and has been successfully imitated.

It's just that silk is needed for the fan surface, and the cost is a bit expensive, so most people can't afford it.

But soon many young masters found out that this thing is a sharp weapon, so it is almost to the point where dudes have a hand.

But the weather in October is still holding this thing in his hand... Although it is said that it has not been opened, it still makes Li Yuechen feel a little weird.

I was curious in my heart, and suddenly saw four or five sons walking towards the nearby wine shop together.

Li Yuechen grinned, opened the curtain of the car, and waved to the guard who was following him.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Go and call that man!" Li Yuechen pointed to Liu Huang among the young masters, "The thinnest one!"

"Here!"

The prison guard agreed, and walked straight to Liu Huang who was about to enter the restaurant.

Liu Huang followed his cronies and was about to enter the door when he suddenly saw a man in plain clothes holding a horizontal knife standing in front of him.

"Who are you?" Liu Huang raised his head and asked, "Why are you blocking my way here?"

"Xiao Langjun, someone invites you to come over." The prison guard replied with a salute.

The friend next to him said directly: "Hey, what a big shelf, I know..."

Liu Huang raised his hand to stop the friend next to him. Seeing that the prison guard looked familiar, he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

The prison guard also replied in a low voice: "Your Highness, the carriage is just outside the square gate."

Liu Huang nodded, turned his head and gave a slight salute to his friends: "Okay, you guys go in first, I'll go for a while, and I'll come later!"

As he said that, he trotted all the way to the front of the carriage, saluted respectfully, "I've seen..."

"No, come up first!" Li Yuechen's voice came from the carriage.

Liu Huang agreed, climbed onto the frame, opened the door curtain and entered.

After entering, he saluted respectfully, and then knelt down at the door.

"I don't know what orders His Highness has?" Liu Huang looked at her and asked.

"I came back today and saw laughter everywhere. Is there a happy event?" Li Yuechen asked.

Liu Huang smiled slightly, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "It's not a happy event, but..."

While handing over the paper in his hand, he explained gently.

After listening to his explanation, Li Yuechen nodded to show that he understood.

To put it simply, there was a man named Lu Zhaolin, who died!
The name is very familiar, as if I have seen it several times in Chinese books before.

The reason seems to be that he made a girl's belly bigger in Bashu a few years ago, and then disappeared.

And just some time ago, King Luo Bin passed through Bashu and met the woman he had abandoned all the time. After hearing about this incident, he immediately wrote poems.

After a period of fermentation, this poem spread to Luoyang in the past few days, and soon spread among the market.

This can be regarded as one of the few celebrity gossips these days, and the entire Luoyang City is basically discussing this matter for a while.

This poem was written on the paper that Liu Huang handed over just now. It is called "Amorous Love on behalf of Guo Shi's Response to Lu Zhaolin". It has a lot of words and is quite long.

Li Yuechen roughly glanced at it. Although she had never understood poetry, she could tell that the general meaning was that he was empathetic and never in love.

The entertainment life of the ancients was very scarce, so celebrities can usually gossip for many days or even years. It seems that the protagonist should be able to bear it.

After figuring out the matter, Li Yuechen didn't stay here too long, and returned to the palace after chatting casually.

Back in Anfu Palace, Li Yuechen saw the two older sisters and Shangguan Wan'er were there, so he chatted with them about the gossip he had just heard, and then showed them the poem.

The concerns of the two sisters are obviously different. Compared with this poem, Princess Xuancheng cares more about this matter itself.

As for Princess Yiyang, everyone praised the poem.

Shangguan Wan'er also maintained the same attitude, saying that this poem is brilliant and so on.

Li Yuechen was also free, so he sat down and chatted with them.

After dinner, Princess Yiyang and Shangguan Wan'er were still interpreting the poem, as if they wanted to explore the story behind it in this way.

Li Yuechen suddenly thought of a question, if something like this happened, would this Lu Zhaolin have the face to go out to meet people in the future?
Rather, in the ancient times where fame was valued, would he be able to continue living in the future?

The reason why Li Yuechen thought about this was for the future. After all, the capital of Datang was in Chang'an, and she couldn't stay here forever.

So in the future, I must hire a teacher to teach those children. I don't know who has the ability to teach them well.

The so-called people who are worthy of a great reputation, since Lu Zhaolin is a talent that many people know, it is needless to say more about his cultural background.

It would be great if he could be a teacher in the school he wants to build in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help but nodded.

Before going to bed, he made arrangements to Fu Lai: "Tomorrow, I will find out where this Lu Zhao neighbor is. I want to see him."

"Here!" Fulai agreed.

The next day, Li Yuechen went to the Military Weapons Supervision to see how the Tang knife he wanted was made.

It is very slow to make a good weapon in this era, especially the gift that the princess named to give to the saint, it is even more sloppy.

Although it has already started, it has only just begun, and it hasn't even taken shape yet, and the craftsmen are still forging.

Watching the blacksmiths put the red-hot iron blocks on the iron felt and beat them back and forth, Li Yuechen couldn't help being surprised. Good guy, this so-called "hundreds of steel smelting" doesn't really mean folding and forging a hundred times. times?
But she is not too clear about this, but the supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervision has made a strong promise that it will definitely be done by the end of the year.

He said so, and Li Yuechen didn't ask too much. This thing itself is not a difficult thing, and professionals like them can be trusted.

After leaving the Military Weapons Supervision, Li Yuechen planned to ask if they had come up with the plan for the blast furnace test product.

They haven't heard from them for so many days. I don't know if it's because they are afraid of being blamed for not doing well, so they hide on purpose.

Li Yuechen also planned to urge them, the sooner this thing can be made, the sooner they can enjoy the convenience it brings.

Before he had time to find someone, Fulai came over suddenly.

"What, the matter is over?" Li Yuechen asked.

He went out early in the morning. He thought it would take a lot of time, but he didn't expect to be back before dusk.

Fulai's expression was a bit tangled: "Your Highness, Lu Zhaolin... was arrested."

"Arrested?" Li Yuechen looked puzzled: "What crime did you commit?"

"This...is not a crime." Fulai replied in a low voice.

Hearing such an answer, Li Yuechen frowned slightly: "But did you offend someone?"

Fulai's expression was a bit tangled, and he replied in a low voice: "It seems...it has something to do with His Highness's cousin, Wu Sansi..."

　There are many relatives in the family during the Chinese New Year, and they are not familiar with each other, and they like to talk about it. The salary includes a house and a car. It is a fault that everything is correct...

　　Originally considering this situation, I planned to ask for leave, but I thought that readers would definitely not be able to avoid the above, so I decided not to ask for leave tomorrow, and update as usual!Happy New Years Eve, readers!
