Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Bring back the corpses of the soldiers in the Central Plains?"

Li Zheng nodded and said, "A legitimate reason, a way to conform to the will of the people, and can also make Your Majesty face. The blood debts left by the soldiers of the Central Plains in Goguryeo must be brought back."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin smiled relievedly, "You still say you don't understand political affairs?"

Li Zheng took a sip of tea in a discouraged manner.

Li Shimin said again: "Why are you still frowning when you gave me such a good idea?"

Li Zheng looked up at Tian sadly and said, "Nothing."

After eating a piece of barbecue, Li Shimin stood up and said, "Your barbecue method is indeed unique. I will try it when I go back. Stay tuned, and you don't have to give it away."

After saying that, Li Shimin left with distraction.

Dahu sat aside and said, "Your Majesty seems to be quite busy lately, and he has come to Jingyang less often."

Li Zheng said frowningly: "You said I should be sick?"

"Get ill?"

Dahu said curiously: "Why did Chang'an order say this? Is it because I feel uncomfortable?"

Looking at the scenery in the village, Li Zheng whispered: "I may be sick recently."

Dahu looked at Li Zheng with confusion, and then thought about what happened before, and understood something.

A few days later, the news that Li Zheng was seriously ill and could not meet guests soon spread.

Gao Yang has been doing some miscellaneous work in the Secretariat recently and he also asks for advice from those ministers on weekdays.

Li Shimin saw all these things, but they didn't expose them.

Gao Yang helped Li Shimin sort out the memorial and said, "Father, I heard that Li Zheng is sick."

"I'm sick?"

"Well, I heard that I am very ill and I haven't been able to see guests for a long time."

Li Shimin smiled coldly, "Who did you hear?"

Gao Yang held a bunch of memorials and said, "Everyone is spreading outside."

Li Shimin practiced his brushwork and said, "Did your elder sister say that?"

Gao Yang shook his head vigorously, "The Emperor Sister has never mentioned this in her letter these days."

The smile on Li Shimin's face became stronger and he waved his sleeves and continued to practice calligraphy calmly.

Jingyang

Of course, Li Zheng was not really sick. He was grilling chicken wings with Li Tai and Li Zhi at this moment.

Li Tai sprinkled some chili peppers on the chicken wings and said, "Li Zheng, you don't want to meet guests, and you don't have to be sick."

Li Zhi ate a roasted chicken wing and said, "Actually, no one comes to see the teacher on weekdays. If you really want to say a guest, you can only be the father."

A cold autumn wind blew, and Li Tai put away his clothes, "Why did the weather start to cool before winter?"

Li Lizhi took Xu Hui to a residence in the village.

This is Wang Qiaoer's residence.

There are many small houses like this in the village, and many of the houses built at the time are empty.

The house is very small, but the daily life needs are very complete.

Wang Qiaoer was decorating her house. When she saw Li Lizhi coming, she hurriedly saluted, "The young lady has seen His Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Lizhi helped Wang Qiaoer up and said, "I feel wronged that I want to live here."

Wang Qiaoer whispered: "I am so grateful to have a place to stay."

Li Lizhi asked Xu Hui to put some silk and satin aside, "Now the aristocratic family is so chaotic, and after the pacification, you will definitely return to the king's spirit."

Wang Qiaoer remained silent and gave a deep bow.

Everything depends on the situation. The situation of the five surnames is still unclear, and I don’t know what other families will do.

Since the head of the Wang family handed over Taiyuan, the Wang family's legitimate daughter and legitimate son must also be protected.

When it comes to a safe place, Jingyang is the best.

Wang Qiaoer whispered: "My younger brother has been in Chang'an now. When everything is settled, he will definitely come to the princess and the princess to thank him in person."

Li Lizhi smiled relievedly, "No need, I just follow my mother's instructions to take care of you."

Li Zheng said he was sick and refused to see guests again and stayed in the door and refused to leave.

Li Shimin began to plan for the Eastern Expedition. He wanted to restart the Emperor's words of the Eastern Expedition. He also needed the people's voice and hearts.

This is the key to starting the Eastern Expedition.

Li Shimin was very experienced in using these methods. After he figured out his ideas, he first let the public spread the voice, and used such a voice to sweep the old ministers who opposed the Eastern Expedition.

As long as the people's voices and people's hearts rise, it is only a matter of time before the Eastern Expedition begins.

Now it is only ten years of Zhenguan, and Li Shimin is also in his prime and can afford to wait.

The last month of autumn passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already winter.

Li Zheng received another letter from Daniu.

Standing next to his own small mud stove, Li Zheng looked at Daniu's letter, which said that Mouu had completely taken over the digging of silver mines.

After years of training, the adopted sons gradually began to completely take over the weapons business.

As soon as the intermediary passes the message and arranges the order to be sent to Jingyang, Xu Jingzong will hand it over to Wang Ding. Wang Ding arranges the transportation channel.

Everything can still be carried out in an orderly manner.

Although the winter in Guanzhong is cold, it can be tolerated.

The weather on the Tubo Plateau is so cold.

Su Dingfang rode his horse into the Tubo plateau, and followed more than 10,000 soldiers, which made it very difficult.

Altitude sickness makes many people uncomfortable, and the food in the army here is not cooked at all.

Su Dingfang took a bite of the cooked millet, and when he swallowed it, he felt that the rice grains were as hard as cutting the intestines.

While resting, Su Dingfang looked at the map in his hand and thought about tomorrow's marching route.

It's about to get into the night, and the team is also stationed here.

It was fine from the Hexi Corridor, but as soon as I entered the plateau, the bone-broken cold air made many people uncomfortable.

Just as he was looking at the map with a frown, the soldiers came to the camp to report: "General, there is a Guanzhong doctor outside the camp asking for a visit."

Hearing this, Su Dingfang wondered: "The doctor in Guanzhong? Is this doctor in Guanzhong in the Tubo territory still there?"

The soldier bowed and said, "It's said it's a doctor, and it can also cure strange diseases in our army."

"really?"

Su Dingfang hurriedly said, "Take people in and have a look."

"Here."

There was a lot of noise outside the tent.

The big bull walked into Su Dingfang's tent wearing a sable coat and dressed in the clothes of Tubo nobles.

Su Dingfang looked at the other party and said, "Are you the doctor who can cure diseases?"

The big bull bowed and said, "Zaixia comes from Jingyang, and has been in Tubo for some years. The general can call Xiaoxia Daniu."

"Big Niu? The Big Niu from Jingyang?" Su Dingfang said in confusion: "Are you the disciple of Li Zheng?"

The big bull smiled awkwardly, and walked into the camp with an iron pot, "General, you can't cook food in Tubo, you can't boil water."

Su Dingfang nodded.

Daniu said again: "This is a pressure cooker you made yourself. You can cook rice and boil water."

Su Dingfang looked at the iron pot and said, "Take it serious?"

The big bull nodded and said, "Can you try it?"
