Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Finished changing clothes,

Li Shimin couldn't wait to walk out?

Lack of eagerness.

He was really anxious to death.

Datang, what should we do?

When Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others saw this, they all followed suit.

Queen Changsun looked at the backs of everyone and sighed heavily, but she was helpless.
.

….….…….….….

After leaving the Suzaku Gate, Li Shimin led everyone directly towards the Hongwen Hall.

but,

When he saw the singing and dancing people on Zhuque Street, the lanterns put out in front of each shop, the groups of children, the carnival of dragon and lion dances, the excitement of scholars, the women in beautiful flowers, everyone Almost all of them are decorated with bright red decorations...

Chang'an seems to be plunged into a boiling ocean.

It’s much more lively than the Chinese New Year.

Today's chill seems to have no impact on the people.

"this…."

Li Shimin looked at all this, his pupils narrowed.

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the collapse of the Turks has really spread throughout Chang'an."

"The people are very happy now. No matter what, in the hearts of the people, the Turks are the number one enemy, and the Turks are also a foreign race."

"The Turks were wiped out, and the common people thought very simply, so it was natural to celebrate."

Li Shimin swallowed.

His gaze was somewhat profound.

After a while,

He nodded slowly.

indeed!

As Fang Xuanling said, the people only care about the Turks and don't think about whether Great Yan will pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty.

Too,

After all, even if there is a threat, judging from Dayan's performance, only the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty, such as the imperial court, noble families, etc., are a threat. As for the people, there is no telling... the people will still welcome Dayan's return.

Great inflammation, great inflammation,

Unknowingly, it seemed that they were accepted from the bottom of their hearts by the people of Tang Dynasty.

At that time, even if there is a change of dynasty, the people should not have much reaction.

hiss…….

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but take a breath and shuddered suddenly.

A chill,

It rose directly from the soles of his feet, and then swept directly across his entire body, swallowing up his thoughts in an instant.

Emperor Dayan is so terrifying!

Could it be that all this was deliberately arranged by Emperor Dayan?

From taking in the people of the Tang Dynasty, to the unknowing evolution of Qingzhou, and now to the destruction of the Turks, the people of the Tang Dynasty have subconsciously accepted Dayan, and completely regarded Dayan as a dynasty similar to the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin's throat was extremely dry, as if it was on fire.

"His Majesty."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, how could they not understand what Li Shimin was thinking?

"Your Majesty, the Great Yan Emperor, his methods are so brilliant that none of his ministers can match him. Alas... this time, it is really a huge test for us."

"If the Tang Dynasty can annex Great Yan, our Tang Dynasty will be established directly. It will be a height and prosperity that has never been seen in the past dynasties!!"

"But...if the Tang Dynasty is eroded by the Great Yan over time, the Tang Dynasty will only be a short-lived small dynasty like the Sui Dynasty. When people mention it, they will only know about the Great Yan, but not the Tang Dynasty. s hard work."

Fang Xuanling sighed and said silently.

Li Shimin clenched his fingers and his eyes were cold.

Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others also clenched their fists.

"Pharmacist, your Ministry of War must strengthen control over the soldiers and make them understand the necessity of fighting for the Tang Dynasty!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely not! Let the Tang Dynasty make the same mistakes again. I don't want to see the next Qingzhou, nor do I want to become the Great Sui Dynasty!"

Li Shimin said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Jing immediately agreed.

"Let's go to Hongwen Hall."

Li Shimin turned around and left.

The pace is very fast.

At the same time, he was also avoiding the celebrations of the people of Chang'an.

On the way,

Whenever he encountered people coming in groups, Li Shimin would turn his back.

Boring!

Angry!

Li Shimin hates it! He really hates it! !

Why weren't the Turks destroyed by the Tang Dynasty? !

Wrong!

It’s really frustrating!

Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable.

He also knew that it was right for the people to celebrate, and it was from the bottom of their hearts.

The Turks had oppressed the people for so long. They were powerless, the court was powerless, and the Tang Dynasty was powerless. Dayan took action and eliminated this serious problem that had been weighing on the people's hearts.

This is a good thing.

But...Li Shimin just couldn't be happy.

This feeling is like having a deep hatred with a neighbor, but one day the neighbor helped his children and his mother-in-law to solve a big problem. Both his children and his mother-in-law circled around the neighbor excitedly. Celebrate, get loud and excited for your neighbors.

I have no place at all.

It was as if he had been cheated by the other party.

He doesn't want to look bad at his neighbors!

even. Before, they were thinking of uniting with each other to deal with Dayan.

but now….

Li Shimin's whole body was about to become distorted, and he was unwilling to give in! He is envious!

He hates!

Great Yan….Great Yan Emperor….

Li Shimin gritted his teeth fiercely.

However, one thing is still lucky, that is, the Great Yan Emperor has nothing to do with him. Fortunately, it is not Li Jiancheng, nor Li Yuanji, King Chu, nor Li Yuan, who has an abyss of relationship with him.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would really explode.

After all, this is human nature.

in this way,

Li Shimin can still accept it.

He took a deep breath, lowered his head, avoided the crowd, and soon arrived at Hongwen Hall.

Then, he rushed in as if he was running away.

now.

Inside the Hongwen Museum.

As soon as everyone entered, they did not hear the sound of reading aloud.

What comes to your face is a slightly wheaty smell.

Li Shimin frowned slightly and looked around curiously.

The former Hongwen Hall was really a pearl in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty. People with lofty ideals, Confucian scholars and a large number of Chang'an nobles came and went in the hall.

The literature here is extremely edifying.

But now what?

Almost all the schools on the left and right were closed, except for one school that was still open.

The floor looked more like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

Not only were the vegetation in the garden withered and yellow, but even the houses in Hongwen Hall were covered with thick spider webs of insect eggs.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin didn't know what was going on and asked curiously.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Jing were all a little confused. They looked at me and I looked at you, so they hurriedly called an old master.

"Oh, it's settled."

"Damn it! We just packed up the potatoes in the backyard. I didn't even bother to salute. I'm going to go to the backyard and call Confucius and his friends. They... are busy cultivating potatoes in the backyard."

The old master was about to run to the backyard in a hurry.

but,

Li Shimin stopped him.

backyard?

Potato?

He looked at the desolation of Hongwen Hall on the left and right, with surprise in his eyes. Sure enough, Hongwen Hall was reliable.

Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, and Gai Wenda returned from Dayan. This time, they really obeyed their orders and began to delve into Dayan's academics.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to go, I... I'll go over and see Confucius and the others by myself, hahaha!!"

Li Shimin laughed twice and walked over quickly.

Fang Xuanlin, Li Jing, Du Ruhui and others looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

They never expected that Hongwen Hall would actually start growing potatoes.

Since Dayan didn't hide the potatoes, and the fact that potatoes were grown in such large quantities couldn't be hidden, they brought some potato seeds with them when they came back.

Due to the importance of these potato seeds, they were finally handed over to several masters from the Hongwen Hall who were knowledgeable in literature, and asked them to study them carefully in conjunction with the planting books brought back from Dayan.

It's just that the three masters who were once famous all over the world went to farm...

This contrast really shocked everyone.

They had always thought that the three masters would only do research, planting and other matters would be left to students or hired farmers, but they never thought that they would do it themselves.

Seriously, I’m serious about it!

The backyard of Hongwen Hall.

"Ouch, haha! Wen Da Shinan, look! There are no mistakes in the writings in Dayan's books, there are no mistakes in recording, it's all true! This potato has no strange taste at all, it's exactly the same as what we eat in Dayan. ,tasty!"

"It's also very fresh. Boiled potatoes like this are really delicious!"

"Who says it's not? Chongyuan, we finally succeeded. Let's eat potatoes in the evening. By the way, let someone call His Majesty in the palace. After tomorrow, we can promote it."

"That's right, that's right, such good meat and such good technology, but those people don't learn it. It doesn't matter if they don't learn it, I believe the common people should learn it."

"This meat is so good."

"......."

As soon as Li Shimin and others arrived behind them, they heard the excited shouts of Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Gai Wenda and others.

Li Shimin breathed out softly.

He was also shocked by the scenery in the backyard.

Weeds grew wildly in the garden, and there was a thick layer of fallen leaves piled on the ground. It looked extremely desolate, as if no one had taken care of it for a long time.

Not many people were seen here, only Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and a few five or six people stood around the deep potato planting area.

It is completely different from the previous impression of Hongwen Museum.

"Confucius, Master Yu, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, he came to see you."

At this time, Fang Xuanling gave a light drink.

Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and others next to the potato planting area heard this and quickly put down their work and turned around in a hurry. When he saw Li Shimin, he rushed up with a big smile.

"Your Majesty is here, haha! Your Majesty, please take a seat quickly. You came just in time today. Potatoes... Look, the potatoes are ready. We cultivated them for so long according to the book's skills, and finally succeeded and became edible. They are the same as before. It’s exactly the same as what we eat in Dayan!”

"Haha, the taste of the potatoes I ate in Dayan really reminds me of my life, and now we have them too."

Kong Yingda was as excited as a child.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you see such good mashed potatoes, and there is no impurity at all. These potatoes must be the potatoes we eat in Dayan. Dayan is really too generous. This planting method can be said to be the first to write Completely, not covered up at all.”

Gavinda said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, look."

Yu Shinan was also impatient and wanted Li Shimin to visit.

Everyone was excited.

Smile brightly.

The other masters also saluted Li Shimin one after another.

Li Shimin swept around them, looking at the dirty robes and the residual smell of earth on their bodies, and he was extremely moved.

He knew that Kong Yingda and others must be intoxicated, and must have spent a lot of effort during this period.

really,

In our own Tang Dynasty, there are still people who can do practical things!

Li Shimin felt much better.

"Good good!"

"So, I came just in time, hahaha! Let's go over and have a look!"

Li Shimin walked over.

The crowd followed closely behind.

Sure enough, the potato growing areas are full of potatoes.

And some of them were dug out, and the soil was moist. It looked like they had been made just now.

"This potato..."

Li Shimin looked at the pile of potatoes he had just dug out. Even though they were raw, he couldn't help but swallow.

"it is good!"

"Confucius, you really did not disappoint me. These potatoes are so good!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but praise.

Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Gai Wenda and others all had even more innocent smiles on their faces.

but,

Li Shimin looked back and looked around: "But... Confucius, what's going on here?"

"If I remember correctly, Hongwen Hall has the largest number of students in Chang'an, right? Even Guo Zijian can't compare with it, and the number of masters is also the first in Chang'an. They are all famous Confucians in the world, but now ….Why can’t you see it?”

"Furthermore, Hongwen Hall is so desolate. It seems...no one has cleaned it up for a long time. What's going on?"

Li Shimin asked doubtfully.

When everyone in Kong Yingda heard this, the smiles on their faces froze suddenly. They looked at me and I looked at you, and finally couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"Your Majesty." Kong Yingda took a deep breath and cupped his hands: "I never expected that the weight of Confucianism in my heart as a scholar in the Tang Dynasty was not so strong. I have seen the prosperity of Dayan with my own eyes. Those books, I and After Shinan Wenda brought it back, he began to study it."

"But...but many of the masters in Hongwen Hall cannot understand that they cannot bear to betray Confucianism."

"Even if I try to persuade you with good words, even if I beg you hard, they just can't change their minds. Alas..."

"Your Majesty, I thought wrong before I came here. Don't think too simply. Confucianism has been spread for thousands of years and has long been ingrained. I and Shi Shinan Wenda were stimulated by the great inflammation. This idea suddenly I came here, but none of these masters are there, and none of the students are there either."

"They... they all left and went to Chang'an Taolinfang to open another school. In the end, only a few of us were left."

"Your Majesty, I...I still have your Majesty's trust. During this period, I and Shinan and others studied the books of Dayan, but most of them couldn't find the entrance at all. Without the guidance of famous teachers, they couldn't learn by themselves. In the end, we can only focus on potato cultivation.”
