Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 312 Zhang Liang wants to rebel?

Hearing Li Fu's heartfelt words, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a water map of the Tang Dynasty seemed to emerge in front of him.

As Li Fu said, if the golden silk nanmu is cut down from the middle of Sichuan, it will first go to the Yangtze River Basin to reach the Grand Canal, and then transport it from the Grand Canal to Chang'an through Luoyang. As long as it is done properly, it will not take much time.

When thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly became excited, but now he remained calm, still showing a frown, ready to go back to the palace.

But in the process of returning to the palace, Li Shimin turned a blind eye to Li Fu's sneaking behavior, but when he arrived in Chang'an City, when the officials were about to say goodbye to him, they directly stopped the minister of the Ministry of Industry and others.

Back in the imperial study, Li Shimin ordered someone to fetch a large map of the Tang Dynasty, and stood in front of everyone, pointing at the center of Shu with a wooden pole in his hand. There is a way to transport the golden nanmu to Chang'an!"

The ministers were refreshed when they heard the words, especially the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He really didn't have a clue, but when he accidentally heard Li Shimin say that he had thought of a solution, he was immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

"Look, gentlemen, if we cut down golden nanmu from Shu, take the waterway, pass through the Yangtze River, first arrive at Yangzhou, then take the Grand Canal, enter Luoyang, take the Weishui River, transport it to Chang'an, and then transport it to the Daming Palace, it should cost It won’t take long!”

Hum... The Minister of the Ministry of Industry's head was filled with humming, and the Duke present was also shocked by Li Shimin's words.

But soon everyone present was studying the feasibility of what Li Shimin said, and when they saw clearly the location connected by the water map, their eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty is wise, if we follow this path, we can definitely do it and transport the golden nanmu to Chang'an as scheduled."

"That's true. Why didn't we expect that? Since the road to Shu is difficult, we should simply take the water route. Using the principle of wood floating in water, let the navy assist in the management, and the golden nanmu will be able to be transported to Chang'an smoothly!"

"More than that, I'm afraid it will take less than a month to transport all the golden nanmu needed to Chang'an. Nothing is more important than this!"

"Just taking advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the flooded area will serve multiple purposes. His Majesty will think of a way. Why can't I think of it?"

The ministers praised Li Shimin so high that they almost forgot about what they said.

In fact, he didn't even think about it himself. He was simply trying to transport the golden nanmu from Shuzhong to Chang'an as soon as possible, but the officials saw another deep meaning from Li Shimin's method.

This is the so-called speculation, no matter what the emperor said, the courtiers always wonder if there is any other meaning in the emperor's words.

Just like now, when Li Shimin suddenly said this, it must have been more than just transporting golden nanmu.

Could it be that His Majesty Tang discovered something, dissatisfied with the current floods in the Yangtze River Basin and the Grand Canal, or expressed dissatisfaction with the Weishui River between Luoyang and Chang'an for not clearing the silt in time, etc...

But Li Shimin really wanted to solve Li Yuan's troubles as soon as possible because of the idea Li Fu told him, and he really didn't even bother to reason about the speculations of the servants below.

However, since the courtiers like to speculate, Li Shimin is also happy to see them do something, anyway, it is beneficial to Datang, so he won't talk about it at all, this is the so-called emperor's mind!

When Li Shimin arranged everything and went to the palace where Li Yuan was staying to report the situation, he unexpectedly found that Li Yuan was playing chess with Li Fu.

Li Yuan was shocked when he heard Li Shimin tell him that he was going to arrange for the navy to transport the golden nanmu he needed for the Daming Palace to Chang'an by water.

"The emperor is interested. You can make arrangements for this matter. I was just on a whim that day, so forget it if it's too troublesome!"

"Don't bother!" Li Shimin didn't listen to Li Yuan's words, "Being filial to the father and emperor is what sons and servants should do. I have prepared to let the navy commander, Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun, lead the navy to escort along the way, so the father can rest assured. alright."

Li Fu listened on the sidelines, raised his brows slightly, and began to complain crazily in his heart.

[Li Er is an old guy, but he actually thought of transporting wood by water. It seems that there are really good people around him. 】

【But he asked Zhang Liang to do this, hum, this is a bit interesting, counting the time, Zhang Liang should rebel, why is there no movement until now? 】

[Speaking of which, Zhang Liang rebelled because of something, maybe it was because of such a trivial matter, then it would be more interesting! 】

Hearing Li Fu's voice, Li Shimin's brows twitched heavily. He really didn't expect that Zhang Liang, the governor of his navy, Duke of Yun, would rebel?Why did he rebel?

Li Shimin couldn't figure it out. Speaking of which, he was not mean to Zhang Liang, so how could he rebel against him?

[That old boy Zhang Liang raised five hundred adopted sons under his command and built an arsenal at home privately. The labor and management don't believe that Li Shimin didn't notice it at all. 】

[Even I know that Zhang Liang is near his residence and forced to evict all the people around him. On the surface, Yunguo’s mansion looks dilapidated, but in fact, the interior is more luxurious than the imperial palace, and the arsenal is even more repaired than the Chang’an arsenal. Be big! 】

[In addition, he also raised thousands of private soldiers in the mansion. There are various signs that Zhang Liang has long been disobedient, and only Li Er can tolerate it until now. He chopped it up! 】

Li Shimin originally thought that Li Fu had misunderstood Zhang Liang somewhere, but when he heard the fact that he said it clearly from Li Fu's heart, his brows suddenly frowned even tighter.

It was mainly in Li Shimin's impression that Baiqi seemed to have told him about these things, but Li Shimin didn't take it seriously at all. When he remembered it now, he felt something was wrong.

Thinking of the fact that Zhang Liang was about to rebel, Li Shimin felt so tired, he hurriedly bid farewell to Li Yuan, and returned to his imperial study, only to meet Fang Xuanling and others who came to deliver the memorial.

Looking at the memorial, Li Shimin's face suddenly sank when Zhongshu Sheng proposed to let Zhang Liang be the candidate for the golden silk nanmu water transport dispatcher, "Is there no one in the court who can do this except Zhang Liang?"

Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu looked at each other in blank dismay, both of them were somewhat unclear about Li Shimin's intentions.

Letting Zhang Liang be in charge of coordinating the transportation of the golden nanmu has not been discussed at the court meeting long ago. At that time, Li Shimin expressed his approval. Why did Li Shimin change his mind after a long time? It is really unpredictable. !
But after thinking about it, Fang Xuanling still stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Yun is the commander-in-chief of our Datang Navy, and it is most appropriate for him to coordinate and plan this matter and dispatch the navy to escort Jinsi Nanmu." Candidates, I don't know what His Majesty means..."
