The walls of the academy have never stopped pouring, yes, it is pouring, if there is never a shortage of cement in that place in Datang, it is undoubtedly Yushan Academy, because it has its own cement kiln, its own brick kiln, its own coal mine, its own porcelain workshop, its own printing factory, its own field, its own wharf, and even a fleet of its own, as for camels, horses, cattle and sheep, he is not lacking, the emperor decreed, Yushan is the academy industry.

The army has begun to settle in Yushan, and the strength to defend Yushan is equivalent to the palace, and it changes every two years, and the commander is appointed by the royal family himself, and the only one who can support them is the mountain chief except for the dean, that is to say, only the emperor's dean and Li Gangshan can make these sixteen guards bow their heads, and the orders of Yun Ye's court judgment are ignored by the soldiers.

The walls of the academy looked like the Great Wall from a distance, winding through the mountains, and the corn and potatoes that used to be wild boars and other pests ran down the mountain to wreak havoc on the farmers. The back door of the academy is only opened every year during the panda heat season, allowing the round pandas that eat in the academy to go out through that gate to find the scrawny pandas in the mountains to mate, and the students jokingly call this gate the Queqiao Gate.

Xu Jingzong and Yun Ye rode horses to inspect the city wall, if you don't ride a horse, you can't do it, you will be tired to death if you walk on the city wall within a radius of thirty miles, and there will be an arrow tower on the city wall less than 100 meters wide, and there are guards standing on the upper floor.

The cold wind in the valley didn't take long to freeze the two of them, so they had to go into the arrow tower to avoid the wind and cold, the arrow tower was not big, and the people were crowded with Wangcai and couldn't get in, Liu Jinbao drove those soldiers out and brought Wangcai in, Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "Yunhou." Your habit of valuing horses over people has to be changed, many people have already criticized it. “

"Who said that Wangcai is a horse? Wangcai is my brother, it's like this outside, it's also at home, if you don't believe it, you go to the Yun family and open the account book of the example, and you will find that my family's Wangcai has always been the one who has received the case. Whoever likes to say it, I don't plan to change it. “

Yun Ye untied the big puff and draped it on Wangcai's back, and took out a handful of beans and put them in his hand for Wangcai to eat slowly.

There is little snow this year, except for a snow in winter, until now it has slowly had a little snow, the Yun family's farmers have been preparing for water storage, repairing a lot of cement pools, just waiting for the next heavy snow to fill the water at one time, no matter what. This year's drought is inevitable.

After baking the fire for a while, the inspection had to continue, there was no way to ride a horse in front, it was all steps, and the two of them had to walk up, Xu Jingzong patted the cement wall and sighed: "Yunhou, this wall of our academy is probably stronger than that of the imperial city." It is rumored that when Helian was building the city of Tongwan, he smashed the ground with a giant hammer. If you enter an inch, you will cut off the craftsmen, and if you don't enter an inch, you will cut the sergeants, that is to establish an indestructible foundation, what do you do to make the walls of the academy impregnable? ”

"It is also to establish an indestructible foundation, Lao Xu is the two of us here, I said that my only expectation is the change of dynasty. It is my selfish desire that the college can still stand. ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "The dynasty has not been replaced for eternity, but the academy is very likely to survive for a long time. ”

Walked to the Queqiao Gate. Xu Jingzong looked at the back mountain, pointed to a few smoking places and said: "Those few key points have been taken away by His Majesty, and I only saw a large number of troops driving in, and the wear and tear of cement, masonry, and wood is amazing. ”

"Don't look at it too much, I know what's going on there, but I can't sue you, once I sue you, it's not a good thing for you, and it's no good to know more secrets."

After getting along with Xu Jingzong for a long time, you will know that he is actually a good friend, in addition to liking to get cheap and betraying friends, you always have a feeling of spring breeze with him, no matter drinking, chatting, it will never be wrong to be with him, a look and an action will give you a hint, that is, say everything in your heart, I will help you keep it secret.

Xiaodong still married his second son in the end, and the little couple was sent to their hometown in Hangzhou New Town by Xu Jingzong, the purpose is very clear, which is to leave a back road for the whole family in Jiangnan, and by the way, rely on the Yun family's power in Lingnan to see if they can develop to the southwest, and the purpose of marrying Xiaodong is to avoid causing a backlash from the Yun family.

Yun Ye found that he didn't know why he couldn't get along with a good person, but he could get along quickly with a traitor, and sometimes he even had a feeling of blending in, could it be said that he was born to be a bad guy?

Standing on the tuyere is obviously not suitable for the appetite of the two traitors, in this kind of late snowy weather, do not drink two glasses, and plot a few people do not match their identities, so he categorically ended the work of the inspection, returned the same way, and returned to the academy after an hour.

The big room was full of people, and Yun Ye was surprised to find that Hypatia and Xiao Wu were also there, not only them, but Li Chengqian was actually sitting in the back, looking at the stern look on his face, he knew that something big had happened.

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Ye and Xu Jingzong sat down, they heard a shocking news, Loulan City had disappeared, and people went to the city overnight, and the emperor asked the academy what he thought of Loulan's disappearance.

Mr. Jin Zhu is the most authoritative in this regard, he hesitated, and first asked the prince: "Your Highness, if you want to ask why Loulan disappeared, the old minister must first ask me if the army of the Tang Dynasty is in Loulan?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't understand why Mr. Jin Zhu asked this, but Yun Ye knew very well that the bustling city became an empty city overnight, and this kind of thing happened a few times, such as Gaochang, such as the capital of Zhaowu Jiu, and there was a sign before these cities disappeared, that is, the Tang army of the Tang Dynasty happened to find the empty city when it passed through, and the generals reported that there was no one in the city, and then in the Hetao generation, there would be large horses of herdsmen and serfs.

If you want to figure out why there is no one in Loulan City, you must remove the biggest scourge of the Western Regions, the Tang Army, otherwise it will be a huge joke, the generals of the Western Regions are very bold, killing a small king of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions is like killing a chicken, anyway, the big pilgrimage every three years, the faces of those kings are always different.

It is a tradition for the Han people to like to kill those small monarchs, and they have done so since the Ban Chao period, and finally to Fu Jiezi to kill the king of Loulan, everyone has been praised by the history books, so those generals want to kill a few kings when they have nothing to do, and they want to see if there will be their own records in the history books.

Don't look at those generals who returned to Chang'an, all of them are kind and kind, and they will return the salute when they see the villagers, and they are a kind mess, but as long as they get out of the Yumen Pass, they will take off the good faces and put them in their pockets, put on a robber face, burn, kill and loot almost all evil, the Turks, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and the Hui people really have no way to live, so they plan to leave their hometown and go to the west, and fight for themselves and their own people to make a way out.

Li Chengqian, who figured out the reason, was a little embarrassed, and said to Mr. Jin Zhu: "Please rest assured, Mr. Gu guarantees that the strange thing in Loulan is not the handiwork of my army, and it is a businessman who reports this situation. ”

"The ancient city of Loulan used to be a paradise for people to live and reproduce. It was founded almost at the same time as the Han Dynasty, and it stretches from the vicinity of Yangguan in the east, to the city of Niya in the west, to the Altun Mountains in the south, and to Hami in the north. It is surrounded by the vast salt waves, surrounded by clear rivers in front of its door, people boating and fishing on the blue waves, hunting in the dense poplar forests, bathing in the gifts of nature, and it is the throat key of the Tang Dynasty to the Great Food and the Far West.

wanted him to disappear overnight, Lao Chen thought that there were no more than several reasons, the first was that it was attacked by the Tang army, since His Royal Highness said that there was no such possibility, then there were only plague and religious factors.

Xuanzang said in his book that Loulan practiced Buddhism and was a Hinayana sect, so the religious theory can also be justified, and Lao Chen believes that the biggest possibility is caused by the lack of water, according to Li Daoyuan's "Water Jing Note" record, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the diversion of the Zhubin River in the middle reaches of the Tarim River at that time, the guide zhì Loulan Yan zhòng lack of water. Dunhuang Soler led 1,000 soldiers to Loulan, and summoned 3,000 soldiers from Shanshan, Yanqi and Qiuci to cross the riverside day and night, divert water into Loulan, and alleviate the dilemma of water shortage in Loulan. But after that, although the people of Loulan made the greatest efforts and attempts to dredge the river, the old minister thought that Loulan was finally abandoned due to water cuts.

However, this qiē is all speculation, it needs to be checked on the spot, if His Majesty has the intention to find out the truth, Lao Chen is willing to take the students to Loulan to see on the spot, if it is an unexpected factor that leads to the disappearance of Loulan, we can also come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. “

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "What Mr. said is reasonable, the disappearance of Loulan must be checked clearly, if it is done by the military, this time it will definitely not be forgiven, if it is a natural disaster, we need to know the reason, the lone king came this time, it was ordered by His Majesty, and the academy was allowed to organize a team of people to go out of the jam to find out, and this matter must not be careless." Zuo Wuwei will send a guard force to see what caused the current consequences of the anger of the heavens and the people. (To be continued......)
