Chapter 1271 Merge!

"You underestimate my father too much, and you underestimate me too much. If my father dares to use such a person, I can use him too. I believe he can stand up again. Daozhang Sun has been found. He is in Longhu Mountain. The letter said We already have an idea of ​​Ziyi's injury, and we will start treating him when he returns to Chang'an."

Li Chengqian left, leaving Fang Xuanling staring blankly at the back of the prince, wondering what he was thinking?
"Isn't it a big loss now? People have already made plans in their minds, but you are the only one who is troublesome? Now it's okay? It seems that you helped Ji Song, but in fact, it made His Majesty more suspicious. He thought it was that boy who asked you to do things."

Fang Xuanling smiled when he heard this and said: "It's okay. Your Majesty seems to have a good idea. Even Taoist Master Sun has been found. It seems that he has already thought about it. It's me who has become a villain!"

"Isn't that right? But it's not a loss for you either!"

Du Ruhui said jealously: "That boy owes you a lot of favors this time. You are dishonest if you still intercede for you because of me!"

"What's the point of being heartless? I just love and protect this junior, you're overthinking it!"

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Du Ruhui messy in the wind.
In the pine forest where the middle school students were fighting for the upper hand, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, father and son, were walking and talking.Some of the students I met bowed and went about their business, which shows that meeting the emperor is not a strange thing. I am used to it!
"What do you think about this?"

Li Shimin said suddenly.

"Father, the prime minister may be very protective of you."

"Hmph! Careful about caring? Why does that old boy think he can hide it from me? They are all thousand-year-old foxes, who doesn't know who is who? That old boy did it on purpose. Firstly, he is sure that I will not do anything to Ji Song, and secondly, In order for Ji Song to owe their Fang family favors!"

"Favor?" Li Chengqian was stunned!
"Yes, with Ji Song around, the Ji family will be very stable for at least a few decades. His legitimate son Ji Run is also your son-in-law. In the future, whether you or your children succeed to the throne, they will be reused. This way, at least for a hundred years, there will be no Worrying."

"But what's going on with the Fang family? His legitimate son, Fang Yizhi, is honest but not very talented. It's just because of his father's face that he became an official and became a governor, but that's the end. Fang Yiai has some talents, but not much. , the future is limited. It’s okay if you don’t tell other sons!”

"With him here, the descendants will have no worries, but it will be hard to say after he leaves. He has had many enemies over the years. The Qinghe Fang clan has offended many people because of this, and they will definitely fight back in the future!"

"But it's different with Ji's favor. It would be best to protect them for decades. This is what the old boy wants!"

Li Chengqian opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. Is this what those old foxes are thinking?It's not an exaggeration to go back and forth a thousand times, it's all damning.

"What happened in the Western Regions is just a pretext. Do you really think he disapproves of Ziyi's dredging of the canal? No, he cares more than anyone else. Anyone who dares to really oppose it will definitely face a head-on attack from him!"

"Then why." Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.

"Why are you objecting again? Haha, this is his cleverness. Because he is sure that I will not give up such an opportunity, so he uses his tricks and is willing to be complained by me to object, just for a favor from Ziyi!"

"Because his original intention is good. If I really agree, that kid will laugh out of his dreams!"

At this point, he was a little speechless and said: "That kid just won't let me go, and he has the temper to retreat. I wish Xianyun Yehe was here."

Li Chengqian smiled, thinking about it.

"Remember, Ziyi, you are not someone else. He is too closely tied to the royal family. It has even reached the point where both gain and lose. As long as the Ji family keeps to themselves, don't touch him. That kid is also sensible and takes the initiative to give up on growing up. The family had no chance, but chose to split up.”

"Many people say he is stupid, but only I know that he is really wise. It seems that the Ji family has been weakened in Chang'an, but if you go and look around, there are schools run by Ji family's children everywhere. He gave up the struggle for power, but he created a new way to continue the family, which is to work at the bottom."

His approach is very similar to that of the Mohists in the pre-Qin Dynasty. They went deep into the grassroots and everyone had very practical skills to make a living.But it is different from Mohism, and more like a combination of Mohism and Taoism.

Governance by doing nothing contained the Mohist's universal love, but in fact it was somewhat confusing to him.

Li Chengqian was a little silent, but he also knew that this was inevitable. There would always be one party that would give in, and it would obviously not be the royal family. Ji's concession gave everyone a step forward. As long as Ji's peace of mind, then Ji's century-old wealth will be can be expected.

"Father, the Western Regions"

"I know what you want to say!"

Li Shimin waved his hand to interrupt him and said directly: "At this time, I was also amazed. How many years ago, I remember the last time he took the initiative to do something was when he first became an official. He wanted to go to Sinong Temple, which had long been reduced to a vassal. But who A few years later, it turned out to be a behemoth and had to be split up. From that time on, he was destined to be the No. 1 coordinator of the Tang Dynasty. No one has surpassed or even matched him in so many years."

"Distributing the interests of all parties, commanding the overall situation, and planning the overall situation, it is perfect to become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty with such ability. But I cannot put him in that position. With his ability, when the time comes, whether the courtiers belong to the emperor or to the prime minister ?”

Li Chengqian was startled and said in surprise: "How is it possible?"

"Nothing is impossible!"

"He is telling me this time about the Western Region. If you want him to do something, you have to give him the power, otherwise he would rather ignore everyone. You have also seen that as long as he has power, he can use it to the extreme."

"Prince, remember, he can be handsome, but not prime minister. This is the bottom line. I hope you can remember it!"

Li Chengqian's face was a little ugly, but more of a dissatisfaction. He thought his father looked down on him and thought he couldn't control a talent like Ji Song.

Sighing secretly, Li Shimin really didn't want things to develop to that point, because that might weaken the Ji family, but it would also weaken the royal family. He was too tied to the royal family.

"When you return to the Western Region, you will immediately issue an order in my name, ordering Ji Song to take full responsibility. The Beiting Protectorate, the Anxi Protectorate, and all the major governors in the Western Region will fully cooperate, and there will be no mistakes!"

Seeing the surprised expression on the prince's face, he said, "What are you afraid of? The Tang Dynasty was conquered. Are you still worried about being beaten back along the canal?"

"You still don't understand Ji Song. You also looked at that map. What did you see?"

Li Chengqian was stunned and thought of the map. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any flaws, so he looked at his father in confusion!

"Mountain road!" "It's the mountain road he dug!"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of something and lost his voice: "How is it possible?"

He rolled his eyes at his son and said expressionlessly: "Nothing is impossible. That section of the mountain road is not only the key to the canal, but also the last resort for the Tang Dynasty to control the Western Region and cut off the land. If you can't use it, don't use it because the price is too high! "

Li Shimin sighed as he walked: "How clever can you think of this? That section of the mountain road seems to be a shortcut, which can save time and reduce costs, but who knows that it will also become the destiny of the Western Regions?" That’s where the door is!”

"What do you think will happen once it is destroyed or the river course is changed?"

Li Chengqian's face turned pale, but he still said: "The changes in the river course will at least restore the Western Region to its previous appearance, and at worst, the Western Region will completely decline."

Li Shimin didn't say anything this time. He didn't expect it before, but since Fang Xuanling told him about the dangers of the canal, he immediately understood it.Ji Song always prepared with two or even three hands when doing things. He saw the advantages and disadvantages of the canal, so he set up a back-up plan from the beginning.

That is, once the enemy invades the Western Region and the Central Plains is unable to resist, someone will blow up the mountain road. I am afraid that he has already thought about the whereabouts of the water after blowing up the mountain road, and does it in a way that others cannot understand. The consequences will be harmful to the Western Region. A devastating blow to the soldiers
hiss~
Li Chengqian took a breath and asked in disbelief: "Why? Why did he do this? Doesn't he know the consequences of doing this?"

"He knew it, so he did it without any hesitation. This is the real him!"

In this way, Li Shimin said nothing again, but his expression looked much more depressed.——
In the Western Region, the source of the Haihe River, people gathered on the top of the mountain nearby. They stared intently at the clearly dug valley not far away.

At the very front of the valley, a hole was cut into a towering mountain wall. Next to this mountain pass is the source of the Haihe River. There is a steady stream of glacier snow water flowing down from here, thousands of trickles. Together they form the Haihe River.

This is also the origin of the name Haihe, which is formed by the convergence of sea-like rivers.

rumbling~
Suddenly, everyone heard a sound like cavalry cavalry in the distance. When they looked up, they saw a manic water dragon coming towards them.Even the generals on the battlefield were suffocated by their momentum at this time, as if facing thousands of cavalry charges, it was suffocating!

"Boom~"

Finally, the water dragon rushed into the mountain road, and the echo in the cave was like the roar of a giant dragon, and seemed to announce his arrival to the world.

wave~
There was a tendency, as faint as the roar of a giant dragon, but very clearly visible.

Suddenly, a turbid, silt-filled Yellow Dragon Fried Rice Cake rushed out of the cave. Everything in front of him was smashed into pieces, and it headed towards the river with great strength until it merged into the river. In the sea and river.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, until a steady stream of water rushed out of the mountain, watching the Haihe River continue to widen and deepen in an irreversible way.
Until the river began to calm down, there was still an infinite amount of water flowing into the Haihe River every moment and every second.At this moment, everyone looked at the Haihe River below the mountain in shock, as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"Is this done?"

Pingyang couldn't hide the shock in her eyes. When the water dragon rushed out, even she was impressed and amazed.Is this the great power caused?Is this really something a human can do?
"Ziyi, tell me, is this done?"

Pingyang pinched the back of Ji Song's hand tightly, but Ji Song just pretended not to care and said, "What else? When the river breaks through the obstacles and comes here, it means that our plan has been successful. From then on, the Tianjian became smoother. The distant distance will also be shortened by more than three times. The structure of the Western Regions, the Central Plains and even the world will undergo earth-shaking changes due to its arrival!"

"Is this how man can conquer heaven? Is this how man can conquer heaven?"

Tang Jian was excited. He really couldn't imagine that such a great achievement happened under their noses.The connection of the Western Region Canal also knows its significance better than anyone else!
If the previous Western Region was the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, it was a place that could be abandoned in times of crisis.So now, because of the existence of this passage, Datang will never give up such a place unless it is absolutely necessary.

The profits on the Silk Road are too great, and the people's livelihood and interests involved are enough that no one dares to easily talk about giving up the Western Regions. If they are not careful, they will be torn into pieces by the profit recipients.

"Oh my God, so. so."

Cheng Yaojin didn't come to his senses until this moment. When the water dragon rushed out, he felt as if he was being stared at by an ancient giant beast, and even his body became stiff.He couldn't imagine that such great power could be accomplished by a group of mortals like them?

"It's incredible. This is simply a miracle. Xiaodao must spread it to the world and let everyone know that it was made by believers who moved God and God sent the mountain gods and water gods."

Quiet, not even the raging river can break the deathly silence on the top of the mountain at this time!
Pingyang stared at Li Chunfeng, his eyes constantly roaming around his neck, as if he was considering where to start. Cheng Yaojin was not polite, directly grabbed his collar and lifted him up, and said with a sinister smile: "You What did you say just now? I didn’t hear you clearly, can you say it again if you have the ability?”

Even Tang Jian, who has always been a good man, said in a dark voice: "Although I haven't taken action in these years, I can't go to the Taoist ancestral home again."

Liu Hongji was even ready to step forward and start beating him, but at this moment Ji Song opened his mouth!

"All right!"

"Put him down!"

Cheng Yaojin snorted, but finally put it down.Pingyang stared at Li Chunfeng and said with a smile: "I don't know if Lao Niubi has taught you other skills, but I have definitely learned this shameless skill. Do you Taoists think that the Tang Dynasty regards Taoism as the state religion?" You can do whatever you want?"

"How dare you be greedy for such achievements? Aren't you afraid of overstuffing yourself?"

Li Chunfeng's face turned pale with fear. He was just having fun on the spur of the moment, but who would have thought that this group of people would have such a big reaction?When he realized it, he was immediately frightened.

Is this something that Taoists can be greedy for?There are five or six princes here, not to mention the eldest princess is still here. How dare he attribute such achievements to the gods in front of so many people?

If any of these people are unhappy, they might order the demolition of the Taoist temples and monasteries he built in the Western Regions in the next moment. After that, the Taoist family and his master will still have to give an explanation.

"Okay, what are you going to do with him? It's just a mouthful, let's just let it go!"

"Hmph! Good luck to you! Otherwise, I will definitely ask how Master Yuan teaches his disciples?"

Seeing everyone like this, Li Chunfeng gave Ji Song a grateful look, and then ran down the mountain in embarrassment without saying a word, for fear that these people would regret it.
