Chapter 613: Li Shimin's decision
In the palace, outside Li Lizhen's bedroom, Li Shimin quietly looked inside through the corridor. Li Lizhi sat listlessly in the corridor, climbed on the railing, and looked at the pond under the corridor in a daze.
"Your Majesty?" A gentle voice came from behind Li Shimin.
Li Shimin didn't need to look back to know who it was.
"Guanyin, I've come to see Changle." Li Shimin looked back and said.
"Your Majesty is still worried about the marriage?" Empress Eldest Sun walked behind Li Shimin and asked.
Li Shimin nodded: "I have never let Changle suffer such a big grievance. It's a pity...... As a royal woman, this is also an inescapable fate. ”
"Is it worth it?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Lizhen in the long corridor in the distance opposite, sighed, and said: "That Xia Hongsheng is a thousand talents and ideas, but he already has a heart, Your Majesty is so forced, isn't it not beautiful?" ”
"Xia Hongsheng has affection for Changle, not to mention Changle's affection for Xia Hongsheng. What's so bad about that? Although your nephew is also good, he is far from Xia Hongsheng. And Changle has no intention of him, if he makes Changsun Chong a concubine, Changle will not be happy. Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun: "Guanyin, look at the changes in this Tang Dynasty. Three years ago, most of the people in Datang were still sick because they couldn't eat good salt, and now, who is still short of salt to eat? At that time, even in the palace, if you want to use some ice cubes to cool off in the summer, you have to calculate and use it. Now, I can even give everyone in the palace some ice cubes, without thinking about the lack of ice cubes. At the beginning, it was cold in the palace in the winter, so I could only put more charcoal basins, and the palace was full of smoke and miasma. Nowadays, a few coal stoves have been set up, and you can sweat when you sit in the palace, and no one has been poisoned by charcoal. It's a small thing. In general, the weapons in the Tang Army, although the weapons of the hundred steels in the early years were hard, they were too slow. But with Xia Hongsheng's method, not only are the weapons made now much harder and tougher than those made by hundreds of steels, but they are also extremely fast to make. The reason why I dared to wipe out the Turks in one fell swoop last year was because our Datang army had all been replaced with weapons that were better than hundreds of steel. War horses, Xia Hongsheng offered a horseshoe, and the saddle stirrup improved by the military machine workshop greatly improved the combat power of the Tang cavalry. Guanyin, you haven't been to the military aircraft workshop to see it, and you don't know the magic of those things in it. Guanyin, have you ever seen a boat made of steel? Have you ever seen a man who can pull up a boulder on his own? On the construction site of the military academy, because of the equipment made by Xia Hongsheng's contribution drawings, a civilian man can complete what a dozen civilian men could only complete before. Malaria! It never occurred to me that such a plague would become an easily curable disease during my reign. Also, Guanyinwen, do you know that there is a kind of rice seed in the world, which can be planted for three seasons and harvested for three seasons a year. I only learned yesterday that there is still so much land around our Datang, and our Datang is only the size of a palm! There are too many such things, no one knows, but Xia Hongsheng knows. Guanyin, have you ever doubted him? At the beginning, he tried his best to let me keep Doctor Sun, and let me agree to give Baiguan and you and Changle a physical examination, but what was the result? Have you forgotten what Doctor Sun said? Did Xia Hongsheng already know, so he tried his best to let you and Changle go for a physical examination? and Du Qing, if it weren't for the discovery of a hidden disease during the physical examination, Doctor Sun said at the beginning that fortunately it was discovered early and treated in time, otherwise he would not have survived this year. You say, when Xia Hongsheng tried so hard to persuade me to let everyone have a physical examination, did he know these things in advance? ”
"This ......" Empress Changsun listened to Li Shimin's words and shook her head in disbelief: "The concubine doesn't know...... Hearing His Majesty say this, is it true that Xia Hongsheng is an immortal? ”
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "Eighty percent is true. This was said by Xia Hongsheng himself after he was drunk, and they both heard it clearly at that time - no matter what, this Xia Hongsheng is not an ordinary person, and I must not let him break up with the Tang Dynasty and the Li family. With the day when he and Li Tang are together, Datang will be better off for a day. So even if I wronged Changle, this is the great cause of my Tang Dynasty and Yongchang, I can only wronged her. ”
"Then what is Your Majesty going to do?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.
Li Shimin raised his hand, held a piece of paper between his fingers, and handed it to Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun took the piece of paper from Li Shimin's hand, unfolded it, looked down, and was immediately surprised: "Your Majesty, this ......"
Li Shimin nodded and took back the piece of paper.
Not to mention what Li Shimin and Empress Changsun said in the palace, Xia Hongsheng was very busy.
When the entrance examination of Jingyang College was underway, those who wanted to take the entrance examination were already sitting in the examination room and waiting according to the instructions.
This examination room is not as strict as ordinary exams, and one person is waiting in a small compartment. Instead, there are 30 people in a classroom, one desk per person, no partitions, no baffles, just sit next to each other, just stick your head a little, you can see what the person next to you is writing.
Before the exam began, the students in the classroom were first attracted by this novel classroom. The front door is in front of the classroom, and there is a table on the table, and there is no chair to sit on. On the wall behind the table is a white panel, and next to it is a box with charcoal pens neatly placed inside. Some of the rooms were very large, with a gentle slope inside, and the desks were arranged in a curved shape, surrounded by a wall-sized white panel below. This wall-sized white panel is made up of four white panels from a normal classroom, which can be pushed and pulled up and down.
In any case, everything in Jingyang Academy was completely different from what they originally knew about the academy, which made these people who came to take the entrance exam either nervous or excited.
After a while, a man appeared outside the door of the classroom, holding a paper bag in his hand, walked in, went up to the platform, raised the paper bag in his hand, pointed to the complete fire clay on it, and said to the people below, "You have seen it." This fire clay is good, and the seal is also good, and it has not been disassembled in advance. I'm going to tear it apart in front of everyone...... Ladies and gentlemen, this clay is still tightly adhered underneath, and if it had been opened in advance, it would not have been sealed untouched. This is the gentleman who made up the question and sealed it directly, and before it was opened, even we didn't know what the topic was inside. ”
The crowd waited for the man to open the paper bag, and took out a wad of paper from it, and one of them handed out one. (To be continued.) )
