God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 705
Li Shimin turned and left, only Li Chengqian, Yuwen Shi and two people existed on the main hall of Taiji Palace.

Li Chengqian said unceremoniously: "Yuwen Shiji, this king persuaded you, but you are still against this king!"

But Yuwen Shiji said: "I don't understand what His Royal Highness said. I just think for Tang Dynasty's sake, not against you!"

"Whether it is right or not, you know it very well in your heart, and I don't go into details about the specifics. You will be fine with His Majesty supporting you now, but you won't know in the future."

"His Royal Highness does not understand!"

"Stop pretending, you're so obvious."

"The heart of the minister is dedicated to the Great Tang. As long as the Great Tang is good, the minister will naturally go in the direction of the good of the Great Tang! Please don't discredit the minister!"

Yuwen Shiji became more and more difficult to deal with, no matter how Li Chengqian beat him, he would not admit that he was against him.

"Well, don't let this king get caught, otherwise, at least, he will be like Liu Hongji, which is equivalent to being exiled, and at worst... hang his head above the city gate for posterity to cast aside!"

After Li Chengqian left this sentence, he went outside to wait for Li Shimin, which made Yuwen Shiji shudder.

But when he left, Yuwen Shiji said coldly: "This is Your Majesty's Tang Dynasty, what kind of waves can you, a prince, make? I don't believe it, you can cover the sky with one hand!"

Li Chengqian left the hall and looked at the sky, it was already close to noon.

I'm afraid he won't be able to return to the East Palace in the afternoon, so he invites a small yellow gate.

"Go back to the East Palace and tell Guan Lishi that the king will not go back, and tell Wu Jue not to wait for the king!"

"Yes!"

After Xiaohuangmen left for a while, Li Shimin also came out from inside.

"Let's go, you follow me to have a look."

"Your Majesty, I don't know which part of the city wall has a problem?"

Li Chengqian asked like this.

"For the east wall, a large part of the wall was washed away by the last flood. The Ministry of Industry has repaired it several times, but it has not been able to reach the best condition. I want to see what is going on. These people are messing around. What."

The city walls of the Tang Dynasty were made of rammed earth and covered with bricks, and then a layer of mud and pebbles was laid on the rammed earth, and then covered with bricks.

In the late Tang Dynasty, both sides of the city wall were brick walls, and the bricks used were of different specifications. There were patterned bricks in the Han and Six Dynasties and plain bricks in the Tang Dynasty.

There is water on one side of the outer wall, and the paving rules are regular. There are two construction methods: inclined paving and flat laying. The outside of the water is fixed with small bricks.

This kind of city wall cannot withstand wind and rain, especially when it rains heavily. If the foundation is not strong, it is very difficult to repair.

And the ground defense is not as good as the modern city wall.

When Li Shimin said this, Li Chengqian came across something, which might be very useful, and its appearance might affect the architecture of the entire Tang Dynasty.

That's right, this thing is cement. If it appears, then Datang's houses will be built higher, maybe some high-rise buildings can be built, then more people can be accommodated, and Datang will be forcibly pulled to modernization , is not impossible.

"Let's go, the people from the Ministry of Industry have been waiting there for a long time!"

Li Shimin said so, after finishing, he walked to the front.

A group of people waited, then went to the east gate.

At this time, the place has been emptied, and there are no idlers waiting to come and go.

When Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, saw Li Shimin coming, he saluted him.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Don't be too polite, tell me, what are you going to do next? About that wall!"

Li Shimin pointed to the wall next to it, which had already collapsed at this time, and part of it was still being repaired. It seemed that it would not be completed so quickly.

"Your Majesty, due to the backflow of the flood, the city wall is a little fragile. At this time, the foundation is soaked in water and cannot withstand force, so it is a bit difficult to repair, so I think it can be rebuilt again!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuwen Shiji, who was on the sidelines, said: "If this is the case, when the next flood comes, won't it have to be rebuilt again? Is there a way to do it once and for all?"

He was right, the fact is like this, what if next time?
What should I do next time?
"Yes, what if there is a next time? I'm afraid you don't have to do it again!"

Li Shimin's face darkened.

But this is not Duan Lun's fault, the current level of craftsmanship is like this, and there is no way to do it the best.

"Your Majesty, let my servant do this, and it will not be damaged for a hundred years! It will last for a thousand years!"

Li Chengqian looked at the surrounding walls and said.

"His Royal Highness, that is not a joke, this place is not simple!"

Duan Lun said, and at the same time whispered: "His Royal Highness, this is the fault of the minister. You should not get involved in the muddy water. What if someone gets in the way?"

Sure enough, Yuwen Shiji found an opportunity.

He said directly: "His Royal Highness must have a way. If it is really possible to create a thousand-year-old existence, it will be the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, I think that this matter will be handled by the Crown Prince!"

He wished that Li Chengqian would make a fool of himself, so that he would have a way to join him.

This time, Li Chengqian must be torn down.

Yuwen Shiji thought bitterly in his heart.

"Gao Ming, what's your opinion?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, I want to build a city wall that is hard to break even with a trebuchet!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked. As far as they knew, this was impossible.

"Since His Royal Highness can create it, it's not too late, why not start today!"

"Yuwen Shiji, do you think this king is a fairy? Come when you say it? Use your brains?"

Yu Wenshi was at a loss for words for a while.

"Gao Ming, how long will it take?"

Without even thinking about it, Li Chengqian said directly:

"Three days later, His Majesty will see all of this!"

three days?What can you do in three days?
Not much to do in three days.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin said:

"Okay, three days later, I want to see how you do it. If it's really like what you said, then our city is really solid!"

It is naturally the best to solve the problems of people's livelihood, and Li Shimin is naturally very happy.

"I am very sure of that!"

Duan Lun looked at Li Chengqian, feeling a little sorry.

He asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, is it really possible?"

"Naturally!"

Yuwen Shiji said again: "If you can't finish it in three days, what should you do?"

Li Chengqian smiled

"What should I do? Naturally, His Majesty will deal with it. I still need to report to you?"

Yu Wenshi was so frightened that he said again and again: "His Royal Highness, I don't mean that."

"It's best to be like this. As a courtier, don't be above the king, because if you do that, it will be of no benefit to you!"

Yuwen Shiji bowed his head and remained silent.

This time I ate a turtle, Yuwen Shiji thought in his heart that when Li Chengqian couldn't finish it next time, he must take a good copy of it.
