The Legacy of the First Auxiliary House of the Tang Dynasty

In Concubine Wei's palace, Princess Gao Yang told Li Shimin that the son-in-law is not willing to live in the princess's mansion, and wants to live separately from her.

"I can't do anything about it, my son-in-law insists on this." Princess Gao Yang's expression was very aggrieved, as if she was reluctant to come.

Li Shimin hummed angrily, "This Fang Yiai!" His anger was not what Gao Yang said, as an emperor he is not stupid, his daughter's words were not true.

However, Li Shimin became upset when he thought of the destruction of his elixir.

If you know, Li Chunfeng's elixir is different from others. After taking the elixir of other Taoists, although his body is hot and strong for a while, he always feels that his heart fire is too strong, and sometimes he will have a headache.

He has been waiting for Li Chunfeng's potion, but he has been waiting for three years!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart became angry, and he became bored with Fang Yiai, "Okay, don't be wronged—the position of Captain Consort is also vacant..." Li Shimin paused, the position of Captain Consort really cannot be given to Fang Yiai. Uninstall it, otherwise Gao Yang will be in trouble.

"I also stopped the salary of his son-in-law and captain." Hmph, it's cheaper for him.

Li Shimin ordered someone to record this matter.

However, after seeing the emperor, the prince questioned Fang Yiai's punishment when he heard about it.

Li Shimin was disgusted by himself, the crown prince watched the eunuch serving the emperor take out a "Shenxian Pill" in Ganlu Palace, frowned deeply, and couldn't help saying a few words, which annoyed Li Shimin.

"After taking this pill, my body is light and my body is healthy, and my spirit is strong. There is no need for the prince to say more."

Li Chengqian had no choice but to shut up.

On the way out of the palace, Li Chengqian happened to meet Qi Wang Li You entering the palace, the prince whispered a few words to Zhao Dezi when he saw this, Zhao Dezi turned around and sent the people in his hands to inquire.

It turned out that Li You not only went to his mother concubine Yinfei, but the two also went to Wei Guifei's palace, but they don't know exactly what they said.

"Li You——" the crown prince pondered, thinking of Hegan Chengji, King Wei and Princess Gaoyang, it was difficult to judge who Hegan Chengji was.

According to Fang Yiai's discovery, he seems to belong to King Qi, but this is not necessarily certain.

"The long history of King Qi should be changed." The prince called Du He into the palace and asked him to find his confidant Yushi to impeach King Qi's original long history.

"New Qi Wang Changshi, I think that Quan Wanji is not bad." Du He giggled, but he had one bad idea after another.

Quan Wanji is also working in the East Palace at this time, but this person is more stinky and hard-working than Yu Zhining, but he is more harsh, and he may not have a good reputation among literati, but he still loves "offending words and directing advice" ", he is different from Yu Zhining and others, in the eyes of the prince, Du He and others, this person is more for the sake of buying fame, not an honest gentleman.

Du He will return home after a while in the East Palace. The East Palace without Fang Yiai is a bit boring. The dishes of the Dianshan Bureau are just these few dishes, and the cooks don't have any special tricks.

At this time, Fang Yiai had nothing to do. When he woke up in the morning, he originally planned to go shopping, go shopping, Jiaofangsi, wine shops and other places to have fun. He hasn't been there for a long time since he went to work in the Eastern Palace.

Then, unexpectedly, a little eunuch came to the palace, and it was announced that the emperor had punished Fang Yiai again—even the last bit of salary was lost.

Fang Yiai's salary was suspended for three years.

Although it is not uncommon for the prince's son-in-law to leave his salary, the emperor is clearly full of malice, and he has the ability to "take" back his fallen princess.

With a snort, she glanced at the Princess Mansion of Princess Gaoyang's neighbor, Fang Yiai was stimulated by this, and went to Qingfengguan again.

He wants to find Li Laodao to start work quickly and start a match factory——

Although he wanted to return to the secret recipe yesterday, Fang Yi was lazy. After thinking about it, he thought it was better to leave it to Li Chunfeng, or his group of "chemical assistants" who could make alchemy.

Regardless of his age, Li Chunfeng has always been in good health, and he was able to get out of bed for a walk today.

When he saw Fang Yiai came, he explained his needs "candidly" unexpectedly. Although Li Chunfeng was surprised at Fang Yiai's easy-talking today, he followed suit and agreed to second the alchemy Taoist boy and disciples of Qingfengguan. He asked Fang Yiai to cooperate with him as soon as possible.

Being able to get a tower is a powerful weapon for the country.

The emperor clicked on this matter and waited for Li Chunfeng to pay for his merits, so Li Chunfeng could only care about it.

Fang Yiai was very dissatisfied, the emperor's father-in-law was someone who "couldn't be reasonable" to him.

"All right, all right—as long as all the money earned by the match factory belongs to me..." Fang Yiai thought of his previous heartache dedicated to the prince, and felt a little regretful in her heart.

Why did you give up the money to Donggong on a whim.

Maybe it's because the prince is so poor.

Fang Yiai thought again that his salary had been suspended, and the crown prince was so poor that he even gave her a hundred gold.

Suddenly something moved in his heart.

Hmph, the prince must be buying people's hearts!definitely is!

Fang Yiai put aside this emotion, listened to Li Chunfeng talk about his experiment process, listened to him gradually became interested, and discovered something.

His head has been running at high speed. At this moment, Fang Yiai has a serious expression and a correct attitude. He asked Li Chunfeng to say it again extremely seriously and carefully.

When he got to the key point, he wanted to ask Li Chunfeng repeatedly several times, and the other party who forced the interrogation wanted to spit out the few strands of hair that fell out during the explosion.

"...Why do you add charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur powder to alchemy?" Fang Yiai sneered, he didn't have a good impression of such harmful things as alchemy.

As for the emperor Li Shimin who was obsessed with alchemy, Fang Yiai felt a little contemptuous in his heart.

Li Shimin is indeed a wise king of a generation, very powerful, but...Fang Yiai couldn't understand why Li Shimin believed in this in recent years? !

Do you really wish you could live forever?

Fang Yiai didn't want to discuss this metaphysical issue with the Taoist priest Li Chunfeng, he was more concerned about the "experiment" itself.

"This is my old secret—isn't it normal that there are sulfur and saltpeter in the elixir?" Li Chunfeng squinted.

"charcoal?"

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—I'll add a piece of wood to adjust the attributes of the five elements..."

"..." Fang Yiai was speechless, "The castor oil and rock powder... Forget it, you don't need to explain."

Anyway, the old Taoist's "chemical experiment" produced solid nitroglycerin by chance—this kind of accident is almost impossible to replicate.

very dangerous!

Fang Yiai doesn't intend to "invent" this thing, black gunpowder is safer and simpler.

He asked Li Chunfeng for someone, and he also told the ratio of the formula, and these people must not go out of the Qingfeng Temple, and must not contact outsiders.

"Saltpeter accounts for about [-]%, sulfur and charcoal each account for about [-]%." Fang Yiai "pointed" everyone, and soon the best formula for the explosive kit was compared.

……

It was Fang Yiai's repeated orders to remind the little Taoist priests to pay attention that the fire|powder experiment still caused frequent explosions|explosions. Although the intensity of the fire and the explosion were similar to their usual explosion of the alchemy furnace, Li Chunfeng was still a little startled.

If it weren't for the fact that the experiment was halfway through and it was not easy to move, Li Chunfeng would definitely have applied to the emperor to go outside Chang'an.

Fortunately, Fang Yi'ai is not a person who doesn't know the importance. Although Qingfengguan is in the West Market, there is a forest around it, which is considered clean, and there are no residential houses next to them.

In the end, they still left Chang'an City. Chen Muzhi took Fang Yiai and Taoist priests to a military camp in a remote mountain outside the city. The surrounding soldiers held hands. They ignited the fuze of the giant explosive|explosive package that had been tested, and then only heard a boom. Long—a small hill in the col was flattened, and there was even a huge boulder on it.

Rock fragments even splashed onto Li Chunfeng's newly grown beard. He wiped his dust-stained face and turned to look at Fang Yiai, only to see that Fang Yiai had hidden behind Chen Muzhi for some time, and then A clean face appeared.

Li Chunfeng saw the power of this explosive|powder package. Although he bears the title of "inventor", his own family knows his own affairs. The key core of these things is always broken by Fang Yiai. Know? !

Thinking of this, he looked at Fang Yi'ai with bright eyes, and smiled flatteringly at him.

This kind of talent not only needs to go to the Taishi Bureau, but also to make alchemy for His Majesty the emperor, who may be able to practice a real immortal pill——

Of course, Li Chunfeng was just thinking about it, and he was only following orders, otherwise the elixir would not have been delayed for another three years, but His Majesty hasn't thought about it yet, anyway, the elixir he made still has some health benefits.

As soon as the black fire|powder explosion|powder bag was released, the emperor Li Shimin received the news.

He ordered Chen Muzhi to keep a close watch on the group of Taoist priests, and this matter was top secret, except Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Li Ji and other important ministers and generals knew about it, and the news was tightly sealed.

Fang Yiai was even reminded by Fang Xuanling that he must not speak casually, even his cronies Du He and Cheng Jia Erlang.

One day, Li Shimin visited the camp in Kyoto secretly with the prince, and saw the power of the explosives with his own eyes, and he could not speak for a long time.

Following Li Shimin were Li Jing and Li Ji, Li Jing was almost old, the generals of this battalion were naturally under the management of Shangshu British Duke Li Ji, and one of the partial generals was Li Ji's grandson Li Jingye.

Li Jingye was heroic, and the emperor specially invited him to watch the explosive |experiment together.

Not to mention that Li Shimin looked at the flattened mountains, rocks and trees, and the other people who didn't know what "fire|powder" was at all, were all stunned at this moment——

After Li Shimin saw it, he looked to the east and returned with a big laugh.

At night, in the Ganlu Palace, he looked at the imperial map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries, fixed his eyes on a country, became interested, and immediately wrote a poem.

The emperor didn't take the elixir that night, so he had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, there was an autumn rain, the weather was even colder, and it was almost time for autumn harvest.

For breakfast, Fang Yiai ate jujube cake made from fresh autumn dates and drank a bowl of milk. Shimin ordered the eunuch to pass into the Taiji Palace.

"Erlang, I plan to add you and the princess to the city." Li Shimin seemed to have forgotten all kinds of confiscation of salary and suspension of his previous orders.

Fang Yiai was very happy at first, she entered the palace just to get money——

But what does Princess Gaoyang have to do with this matter?

He became angry, but he was not stupid, Gao Yang was still loved and valued in Li Shimin's heart, since the death of Princess Jinyang's son, Gao Yang had occupied a portion of the emperor's attention.Fang Yiai seriously suspected that there was some reason why the emperor empathized with Gao Yang.

Especially Gao Yang's adoptive mother, Concubine Wei Gui, she is very smart at first glance, she can't say what she did from it, her adopted daughter Gao Yang is naturally the beneficiary.

"Saint, I implore Your Majesty to give 'Caomin' another reward!" Fang Yiai proposed to strengthen the pronunciation of a certain word.

"Why, are you still asking for a title?" Li Shimin brushed and his face darkened.

Official rewards are a big deal, and only he is willing to give them. If he asks for them actively, he will be too ignorant.

Fang Xuanling glared at her son angrily, the Erlang in the family became more and more "beneficial", Fang Xuanling was too busy to ignore what Fang Yiai did, until the emperor talked about the "explosive | explosive package", Only then did I know what Fang Yiai was doing every day, leaving early and returning late.

Seeing that the emperor had misunderstood him at this time, Fang Yiai wanted to distribute the reward to his daughter before, so he was so angry that he stiffened his neck and begged loudly: "Your Majesty, I want to ask for an official—"

"Fang Yiai!" Fang Xuanling who was standing was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin asked with a good temper: "What kind of official do you want?"

But as a veteran Fang Xuanling knew that the emperor was already dissatisfied, and there was a dark fire in his eyes.

Fang Yiai looked aggrieved, and said: "I heard on the way that the envoys of Goguryeo came to the court, but they did not pay tribute, and even boasted, wanting to marry the princess? How unreasonable!"

Speaking of this, Fang Yiai's face turned red, and she looked excited: "Saint, I would like to set up a soldier for His Majesty, and go with the army to conquer Goguryeo—"

Last night, Fang Yiai had a dream. This time there was a character with quite a lot of background. He was actually the former Emperor Yangdi. At that time, Fang Yiai was bluffed. There was also a later warrior named "Lei Feng", but this Lei Feng He has a good heart and refused to take him away. He even helped to beat up Emperor Sui Yang and Cao Cao, the "big traitorous minister", and then left without him saying thank you.

Fang Yiai was so touched, it was the first time he met such a kind person, he treated the "bad guys" as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and treated him, the original owner of the body, as warm as spring——

Under the brilliance of Comrade Lei Feng, Fang Yiai was deeply affected by his inability to resist. On the way to the palace on horseback, he also helped a grandmother who sold vegetables to cross the street and bought a bouquet of flowers from a poor flower girl. wildflowers...

Fang Yiai's mood was agitated, Li Shimin on the throne and Fang Xuanling standing on one side expressed surprise at Fang Yiai's words.

But when the two of them thought about it, Fang Yi'ai had been advocating martial arts since childhood, if Fang Xuanling hadn't forbade Fang Yi'ai to practice martial arts, Fang Yi'ai would have become a general in Kyoto Daying like Li Jingye.

Fang Xuanling didn't expect that his son came to Chang'an from Goguryeo envoy, and he thought of the great national event of conquest, but he also thought of the power of the "explosive package" that Li Shimin took them to see...

Li Shimin withdrew his anger towards Fang Yiai, he didn't expect Fang Yiai's request to be this.Unexpectedly, he didn't want a rich gift from the city, nor did he insist on returning to the Prince's East Palace, but wanted a high-ranking official, and he actually expressed his patriotic heart.

He couldn't help saying: "Fang Family Erlang, you have to think about it. The army has its own military discipline, and it is not easy to be a 'son-in-law'."

At this time, His Majesty Li Er still felt that it was interesting to be Fang Yiai's son-in-law, Fang Yiai held his breath, and whoever liked it should be whoever he liked.

He wants to be a soldier and serve his country——

Uh, no, it's the conquest of Goguryeo!

Of course, it would be great if he could kick around and punch East Asia.

At this time, the small country of Goguryeo dared to provoke Datang like this, which aroused Fang Yiai's hatred of Goguryeo.

If the Great Sui Dynasty failed to conquer Goguryeo three times, I don't believe that the Great Tang Dynasty will succeed in another three conquers! ?

Fang Yiai's expression at the moment is a bit "two", very similar to those young children who don't know the depth of the story, but when he mentions Goguryeo, he is full of courageous momentum.

While Li Shimin found it funny, he was also moved by his patriotism.

Forget it, it’s not impossible.

only--

Li Shimin feigned anger and said, "Fang Yiai, who told you that the Tang Dynasty is going to conquer Goguryeo?"

Fang Yiai really saw his thoughts clearly, Li Shimin has indeed become more and more impatient with Goguryeo in recent years.

He glanced at his virtuous prime minister Fang Xuanling, he had never mentioned this thought to Fang Xuanling and the others, and he didn't know why Fang Yiai's tone was so determined and passionate.

Fang Yiai spoke eloquently, and analyzed with a face of concern for the country and the people: "Your Majesty, since the former Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo has been instigating neighboring countries with great plans. I think they intend to subvert the Central Plains. They have wolf ambitions. The Tang Dynasty must not let him go. , Raising tigers is a problem. It is the best policy to attack him while he is still fledgling!"

Fang Yiai's words were clear and meaningful, which actually made the people present in the house think deeply.

Li Shimin took a deep look at him, and was about to speak, wanting to agree to Fang Yiai's request to enlist in the army, but was interrupted by the prince outside the palace, King Wei, and King Qi coming in——
