God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

"But Duke Kui misses his family right now... misses His Majesty!"

"Don't worry about this, let people's family members go to Khitan to reunite their families. As for His Majesty, you can allow him to take a few days off a year and let him come back."

Li Chengqian was even more ruthless, saying this directly made Yuwen Shiji feel like he was doing bad things with good intentions.

At the same time, he must have scolded Li Chengqian bloody in his heart.But so what?

"I thought it would work!"

Not only that, Li Shimin also agreed.

In this case, Yuwen Shiji has nothing to say.

But it's not over yet.

"Your Majesty, I believe that it is a good time for Duke Kui to lead the Khitans to occupy the territory to the east of the Turks while the Turks are weak."

What Li Chengqian meant was to let Liu Hongji fight, and this battle was not easy to fight.

"His Royal Highness, does this seem bad? That means we are at war with the Turks!"

Yuwenshi and the desire to die are all there.

How did it become like this? He obviously wants to succeed, and he already wants to get Liu Hongji back.

"Yuwen Shiji, don't worry about this. If the Khitans are fighting, Duke Kui is only in command. The Turkic people will think that it was the Khitans who did it. What does it have to do with us?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian didn't want to say anything more to Yuwen Shiji, so he asked Li Shimin directly.

"Well! I also deeply agree with this point. It can also contain the Turkic people and expand my Tang territory again. This is killing two birds with one stone!"

"That's right, although Xieli was upset, he couldn't find any reason to see that it was me, Tang Dynasty. After all, it was the Khitan who beat them. Also, Xieli will be restrained by Tuli, and they can't do without him." With the sponsorship of the Tang Dynasty, if they lost their territory, they would only consider themselves unlucky. They exported a large number of war horses and obtained food, but our military strength became stronger. Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity, don't miss it!"

"Okay! Just do as you want! Come here, pass the imperial decree to Liu Hongji!"

In this way, Li Chengqian's goal was achieved.

But Yuwen Shiji didn't want to say a word. At this time, he already hated Li Chengqian to the core.

At this time, Li Shimin said suddenly: "Recently someone mentioned that there is something wrong with the city wall. Gao Ming, the scholar and you two will follow me to have a look? I will deal with these things first."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

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!"
