Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 434
The four ministers were ordered to enter the palace, they were quite old, and it was quite a burden to get up in the middle of the night and have to run to the palace.

Your Majesty is in a hurry and dare not delay.

They had a plan in mind for this matter, and it must have something to do with the death of the Japanese envoy.

The news that His Royal Highness the King of Qin carried the coffin into the palace had already spread throughout Chang'an City, and it was impossible not to know.

"Minister, please see Your Majesty! I have seen His Royal Highness King Qin and King Wei."

"Free of charge, come and have a look first."

Surrounding the table case, there is a note just found on it.

Looking at the coffin on the side, several people knew that they were probably involved in some major event.

"Yu'er, tell them what happened."

"Yes!"

Li Shimin asked Li Fangchen to tell the story, and said bluntly: "This matter is very involved. If my king's guess is correct, Goguryeo has already taken the Wa Kingdom."

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment, and retorted: "Your Highness's words are indeed reasonable, but the Japanese kingdom was annexed by Goguryeo, I think it is impossible!"

"I also have this kind of thinking. From Goguryeo to conquer Silla, Baekje and Shiwei, he has not been given a chance to recuperate. If Goguryeo keeps fighting, how can it last?" Changsun Wugou By saying.

"Yes, Your Highness is worrying too much."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, it seemed that he also had the same thoughts as Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji.

Li Fangchen sighed, "I really hope that I am thinking too much, but have you ever considered, if this is true, what will my Tang Dynasty have to face?"

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Facing a Goguryeo, is Your Highness still afraid?"

"Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, occupying the Japanese kingdom and artillery, even if there are more than ten thousand ships, they may not be his opponent!" Li Fangchen calmly explained: "What's more, since Yuan Gai Suwen is ambitious, who are you? Can you guarantee that this guy will not lead troops to commit crimes against Tang one day?"

"If that day really comes, the old minister is willing to lead his troops to fight to the death!"

"Then can you guarantee that not an inch of land will be lost, and not an inch of land will be given up?"

Li Xiaogong stopped talking, and Li Ji comforted him: "Perhaps His Royal Highness King Qin is too worried, but this matter really needs to be discussed. My two envoys from the Tang Dynasty died in the country of Wa. If you don't pay some price, it will be unreasonable." !"

A group of narrow-minded people, short-sighted!

Li Fangchen wished to dissuade them from immediately going to war with Goguryeo, Japan and other places.

But he knew in his heart that Li Shimin might not agree, and with the personal identities of Li Fangchen and No. [-], his words were not enough to be believed by others.

Li Shimin laughed, "Let's be chaotic, the more chaotic the better, it is better to fight against one country than two countries! The stronger Goguryeo is, the happier I will be!"

"My son, leave!"

Li Fangchen groaned in his heart, when did you start to become so arrogant?
Do you really think that a Goguryeo who has experienced many battles cannot threaten the safety of Datang?

It's fine if you don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but you really think of yourself as the best in the world.

Such a frivolous style of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it will go through a big chaos!

Originally, Li Shimin was also influenced by Li Fangchen, thinking of beating Goguryeo and taking down the country of Wa.

But after a few ministers came, he changed his mind with a few words.

Even if the Wa Kingdom is gone, Datang is not much of a threat.

Originally, the land of the Wa Kingdom was not appreciated by Tang Dynasty, after all, it was just an island.

The blood of Gao Biaoren and No. [-] will never be shed in vain!

In order to avoid the crime of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese sent people to send heavy gifts six times in one year.

Needless to say, gold and silver, more than ten thousand catties, the most surprising thing is the treasures in the sea.

And Li Fangchen, as if he had completely given up, stayed at the school and taught obediently.

In the same year, the first batch of students of the school were divided into classes.

Lead by the dean of each discipline, conduct in-depth teaching.

Five students including Chai Lingwu, Wei Hansheng, Liu Daneng, Zhao Qianjun, and Tian Siwei chose to continue studying agriculture.

Of the remaining 70 people, nearly [-]% chose Confucianism and Military Science.

The most pitiful thing is the medical department, the three of them!

The most lively one is of course the Confucianism class, with 32 people!
This ideological bias cannot be corrected in a short while.

Li Fangchen only hoped that this situation would gradually improve in the future.

After the division of subjects, many things have been settled, and the gentlemen no longer stick to teaching in universities.

For example, Li Fangchen likes to take his five students to study agriculture in Qinwangzhuang Middle School.

Plowing, plowing, planting, watering, fertilizing, insects, and disasters have become the subjects of their summary.

These "children" did not live up to Li Fangchen's high expectations.

Especially Chai Lingwu, although he is not as "prestige" as his elder brother Chai Zhewei, but in agricultural science, he is definitely among the best, and he is firmly the first in his age.

"Sir, His Majesty sent someone to invite you into the palace!"

I was working in the field, and the new batch of sweet potatoes had already arrived in autumn. Li Fangchen and the students were sweating profusely. When they received this news suddenly, Li Fangchen was a little puzzled.

The servant who sent the letter was called to ask why, but the servant didn't know anything.

Li Fangchen had no choice but to ask Li Ke to take them to continue collecting sweet potatoes, while he himself got on the carriage to Chang'an first.

Two hours later, Li Fangchen stepped into the Zichen Hall.

In addition to Li Shimin, there are more than ten court ministers in the hall.

"Father called his son here, what's the matter?"

"sit!"

"Yes!"

There were soft cushions in the hall, but Li Fangchen didn't like to sit on his knees, so he chose to sit cross-legged.

Li Chengqian beside him answered his questions: "Second brother, you guessed right, Goguryeo attacked Tang."

"what?"

Li Fangchen couldn't help but be surprised. Their rhetoric made Li Fangchen somewhat self-doubt. After waiting for a year, he really thought that Goguryeo was digesting the "Woguo", but he didn't want to hear that Goguryeo attacked Tang today.

It's really a game of raising tigers, but unfortunately Li Fangchen didn't take pleasure in other people's misfortune, instead he asked vigilantly, "Where are the soldiers?"

"Yingzhou! Guard General Luo Jinwen led three thousand soldiers to fight to the death, and finally the whole army was wiped out."

"Brother Prince, how is the opponent's damage? How much is the army?"

Li Chengqian sighed: "It would be great if I could know."

Yingzhou is not too strange. If the sound of artillery fire had not spread far away and was heard by the caravan, no one would really know that Yingzhou is gone!

The caravan didn't dare to approach, and returned to the spot, letting Pingzhou City Guard Qian Feng get the news.

By the time Qian Feng led his people to Yingzhou, Yingzhou was gone.

The city was destroyed, and all the people in the city lost their traces. There were floating corpses all over the place. It was hard to distinguish the clothes of those dead people. The strong smell of gunpowder diffused in this land, and it had already dyed everything black and red.

After searching for a long time, a child was found in an underground wine cellar.

According to the child, Goguryeo did this!

Because Yingzhou is adjacent to Goguryeo, the child has heard a few words of Goguryeo since he was a child, so he can tell that the soldiers came from Goguryeo.And all the people in the city were taken away by those Goguryeo people.

Qian Feng immediately ordered people to prepare flying pigeons to deliver the letter, and sent it to Jizhou, and then Jizhou relayed the news to other places, and then to Datang. .

This skill of flying pigeons to pass on books was passed down by that little girl from the Twelve Earthly Branches of Prince Qin's Mansion back then!
