In the original history, in the past two years, Li Shimin had personally conquered Goguryeo. In that battle, Fang Xuanling was also tortured enough.

Li Shimin went to fight in Liaodong by himself, and Fang Xuanling was in charge of the rear area of ​​Chang'an City. Said he was going to rebel.

Once the crime of treason is charged, Fang Xuanling himself will not say anything, the entire Fang clan will suffer, not to mention wives and children, all women will be used as slaves, men over 13 years old and under 65 years old, all will be punished. Lose their heads, and those under the age of 13 will also be used as slaves.

Thinking about that period of time, Fang Xuanling's life must have been very difficult.

It was also difficult for Li Jing. Li Jing was in his 70s at that time. He was too old to move around. He didn't want to go to Liaodong to fight with Li Shimin. He is very charismatic and admired by others. It can be said that there is a lot of response. Li Shimin is worried about keeping him here in Chang'an City.

In the end, the three of them all passed away within a few years after the Goguryeo War.

Fang Xuanling left first, and it was also at this time of summer. In the summer of the second year, Li Jing and Li Shimin also left one after another, and the difference between them was only a few days.

In this way, Li Shimin is a bit hateful, but among the three, he is also the youngest. Fang Xuanling and Li Jing are both in his uncle's generation.

Regardless of the many right and wrong, and regardless of personal likes and dislikes, these people are very shining figures in the long river of history. In the current dynasty, they can also be said to have a clear conscience for the people of this world.

Luo Yong always has some admiration for them in his heart, and hopes that these people can enjoy happiness in the last few years of their lives, and it would be even better if they can live a few more years.

The crown prince is still very young now, if they can live a few more years, the handover of power between the new and old emperors may be much gentler. If the new emperor can take power himself, Changsun Wuji will not be so powerful that day. Wu Wang Li Ke may not have to die.

According to the original historical trajectory, it will be six or seven years later, not very far away.

But now, nothing happened. Although the battle of Goguryeo was still defeated, Li Shimin did not personally conquer, so Li Jing didn't have to go to Liaodong with him, and the elderly Fang Xuanling didn't have to sit in Chang'an City under such circumstances. Faced with various complex situations, under tremendous pressure.

For this situation, Luo Yong is also quite happy to see that the only thing is that he feels a little sorry for Changsun Wuji, especially this adult is still very kind to him, and whenever he meets him, he always talks to him with a smile.

He certainly would not know that his career as a powerful minister was almost wiped out by Luo Yong's butterfly.However, Luo Yong knew this very well, so whenever he faced Changsun Wuji, he always felt an inexplicable guilty conscience, with a bright smile on his face, and a silent sin in his heart.

It is said that Luo Yong's side has stopped recently, but the court is still lively.

Recently, people are arguing about road construction. The imperial court intends to build the railway track to the east of Luoyang. Many officials in the court are very supportive of this matter. .

There have always been voices of opposition, but the closer it is to the start of construction, the more intense these people's opposition will be.

Officials in Hedong said that there is no wooden track on the road from Chang'an to Taiyuan, so why should the railway be repaired for Luoyang first.Guannei Road is even worse. From Chang'an City to the hinterland of Guannei Road, there is not even a concrete road, not to mention railway tracks and wooden tracks.

There is also the Lingnan side. Due to the development of canned fruit and various pulp and sugar industries in recent years, the connection between the Lingnan area and the Central Plains has become closer and closer. People on their side are also looking forward to road construction.

To put it bluntly, the people who need road construction the most right now are in Lingnan, but the number of officials from Lingnan is very small, and they can't compete in that court.

The number of officials from Hedong is enough, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong, but they are a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are silk, seafood and beautiful scenery. After this railway track is repaired, it will be convenient for the royal family and noble families in Chang'an City to travel to Jiangnan. Enjoy the view.What do you have on Hedong Road, corn and mutton embroidery needles?Obviously it can't be contested.

A young official from Hedong Road asked Luo Yong why he didn't speak up. Although he was only a district magistrate and a doctor of engineering, his grade was not high, but his influence was relatively good, and what he said was often taken seriously.

Luo Yong said that there are many mountains in the east of the river, so even if the track is built, it may not be of great help. Besides, refined iron grains, canned mutton, and other things can be transported by water.

The result was a spray.

Mostly it means that he is not united and will shrink back when things happen, and so on.

A few days later, when Luo Yong went to court, an adult in the young man's family took the opportunity to talk to Luo Yong, saying that Luo Yong was making fun of him because he didn't take care of his young children.

In the past, the contacts between the Luo family and the merchant families on the other side of the river were mostly business names and some small families, and there was still relatively little interaction with those real family members.

But no matter what, Luo Yong was also born in Hedong Dao. Judging from his current development situation, he is also a rising star of tomorrow. Naturally, the big families of Hedong Dao have no reason to fight against him.

He didn't expect that Luo Yong was not angry at all, and he said that young people are full of blood. This is a very common thing, and it is rare to have passion and fighting spirit.

The other party carefully looked at the young man in front of him. He was neither tall nor short, and had a good appearance, but he was not very outstanding. At this time, he was smiling and seemed quite sincere.

This person said, how old are you? If you call other young people, if the boys in the family hear your words, you will probably jump your feet again.

A few days later, Chen Mian, who was a doctor of Guozixue at the time, asked Luo Yong to help him produce an examination paper, and Luo Yong readily agreed.

This Chen Mian was a doctor in Taixue in his early years. Later, he went to Hedong Road and learned arithmetic with Luo Yong. Later, because of the need for teaching staff in this field, he went to Guozixue, Guozixue. His status is higher than that of Taixue, so he can be regarded as a promotion.

Luo Yong has not been very busy recently, and it only took two days to hand over this new test paper to Chen Mian.

Chen Mian found someone to do engraving and printing, and distributed it to each class and student of Guozixue the day before the ten-day holiday in mid-July.

The education system of this era, especially in schools like Guozixue, promotes elite education, requiring all-round talents.

When the question was written, there was almost no saying that it was beyond the outline or not, because in the eyes of the people at the time, scholars were the most knowledgeable people in the world, and you should know everything in the world.

The test questions that Luo Yong gave this time are quite random, not so much to test the students' academic performance, but rather to show them something new and increase their knowledge.

Luo Sanlang didn't write any questions for a long time, but this time he came back out of the rivers and lakes, and contributed many new topics to the scholars in Chang'an City.

The young man from Hedong who had scolded Luo Yong face to face earlier was very upset about this situation. Although he was a little curious, he suppressed this curiosity with his strong self-esteem and resolutely refused to read that test paper .

On this day, he went to a banquet at the invitation of a friend.

The upper class of this era often have various banquets, especially among men, and they are not all indulgent, drinking and prostitutes, it mainly depends on who you hang out with, like this young man from Hedong, he My friends are basically quite serious.

The banquets of these serious young people often have poems and essays, and sometimes they also talk about practical facts. This time, Luo Yongxin, the magistrate of Chang'an County, published a paper, so everyone talked about it during the banquet.

"...According to everyone's opinion, I don't know how high the wind is and how high the water is tonight?" The place where the people feasted was in a water pavilion. Head to ask everyone.

A young man who was eating food at the table replied with a smile: "It's very hot tonight. According to my opinion, the wind should be fifty or sixty degrees."

Another person walked along the stone steps to the water's edge, stretched out his hand to stroke the water, and said, "The water is quite cold, I wonder if it's twenty degrees?"

Hedong Youth: ...What?What are they talking about?

But these friends of his seem to be addicted, they always ask about everything they see, how high should this thing be?

The temperature of the hot dishes just served, the temperature of the leftovers on the table, and the temperature of the chilled cold melons, all of them had to be discussed. Hearing that the young man from Hedong was confused and didn't want to make a fool of himself, he finally had to force drink He drank himself a few glasses of white wine and pretended to be drunk.

The next day, he asked his book boy about the how many degrees.His book boy is also literate and well-informed.

The book boy told him that the county magistrate of Chang'an published a paper earlier, and one of the questions said: "Suppose, when the pottery kettle boils water, the temperature is [-] degrees, and the winter is very cold. When the river freezes, The temperature of the water is zero degrees, so I ask you gentlemen, what is the body temperature of the human body?"

"How much is it?" the Hedong youth asked curiously.

"The answer: In my opinion, about 36 degrees." This is the standard answer given by Luo Yong.Some people also said that his answer was inaccurate, so everyone expressed their opinions, saying that there are several degrees, anyway, there is no thermometer in this era, and no one can prove whether their guesses are correct or wrong.

After listening to these words, this young man from Hedong thought about it carefully, who said last night that the night wind can be fifty or sixty degrees, is that guy stupid, the wind must not be fifty or sixty degrees!

"You take the test paper and take a closer look with me."

"Here."
