Chapter 193 Waiting for the prince to enter the urn
"Your Majesty, let's take a look at the map. How do you plan to build the road?" Su Dingfang walked into the tent holding a military map with the most detailed markings. This was meant to be shown to Lin Yi. Otherwise, something like this could be classified as military.
Confidential maps cannot be taken out casually.
Lin Yi's facial features were squeezed together. He hated looking at the map of the Tang Dynasty the most. Everything was in chaos. Basically, he couldn't understand it at all. For someone like him who often drew precise mechanical drawings, that kind of map
It's just a toy for children to play house with.
"Oh... Okay, come and explain to me." Lin Yi slowly approached the table.
Lin Yi's little tail Li Chengqian naturally followed in and climbed to the edge of the table to curiously join in the fun.
Even Dot and Dot jumped on the table and fiddled with the map with his little paws, as if he could understand it.
"This is Dingxiang where we are going in a few days. If we drive fast, we can get there in one day. Taking a carriage may be slower. This area is a desert, which is connected to the desert in the Western Turks, and there is a large area here.
The grassland is a place used by the people of East Turkestan for grazing. Should we connect Dingxiang and Shuozhou? So how should we build the road in the grassland?" Su Lie was planning this land very seriously, Lin Yi
It would be great if we could occupy this place and actually turn it into the land of Datang.
In fact, if we follow the wishes of the ministers and the emperor, we should establish three to four states in the Eastern Turks, and then let the Turks manage the Turks. But the problem is that usually the foreign races who are scared will initially
It's very good, but after one or two generations, there will be trouble here again, and then nothing the Tang Dynasty can say will be of any use. And without its own people as a foundation, they can't intervene even if they want to.
And of course those generals who worked so hard to fight were the last thing they wanted to see.
However, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not like to migrate very much. Even if this place was occupied, it is estimated that the main population would still be people from the Eastern Turks. I wonder if Lin Yi could improve this? Maybe by dividing some land, it might attract some people.
People who can't live a good life come. But thanks to Lin Yi, the people in the Tang Dynasty are now living a better and better life. From this aspect, it has brought obstacles to the migrating population!
Shaking his head, Su Lie stopped thinking about these things and built the cement road first. At least it would strengthen Datang's control over this area.
"How to build it? If you don't build a yin and yang Tai Chi diagram, the effect should be good." Lin Yi used his imagination indifferently. He felt that in that case, it should be quite unique when viewed from high altitude.
Su Lie pursed his lips tightly, thinking in his mind whether he should ignore Lin Yi's words?
Li Chengqian was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Then why not write the Chinese character Tang to directly indicate that it is a territory belonging to the Tang Dynasty?"
Su Lie pursed his lips tighter, maybe he should even ignore the prince's words.
Lin Yi tilted his head slightly, looking like he was thinking, "There are too many strokes in the Chinese character Tang. And they are very irregular. You can't build many disconnected roads. You have to find a way to connect them all."
Yes. That’s why I said the Tai Chi diagram is very good. It’s a circle with a curve in it. You can run it any way you want.”
Li Chengqian nodded and raised his thumb to praise Lin Yi.
"It's up to me to handle this matter. I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Prince to give you instructions on where to build a water tower." Su Lie really couldn't stand listening anymore. For such a big thing, they didn't consider the cost or reasonable patrol routes.
Adding random shapes on the ground like this is childish?? He decided that he should find a way on his own.
"A water tower, basically one built five kilometers away is enough." Lin Yi said. As for where to build it, well, let his assistants plan it.
"Well, I will report to the emperor right now. The craftsmen and materials will arrive soon. Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince, please have a good rest these two days." Su Lie put away the map and decided to leave. He found that he had discussed these with Lin Yi.
It's entirely up to you to find the things you are unhappy about.
Lin Yi's mind was not focused on this at all.
"Oh...yeah, Xiao Yi, it's exactly what you said. We don't need to worry about all this. You are so smart." Li Chengqian jumped and clapped their hands with Lin Yi, looking at each other and smiling.
"This is just a little cleverness, but it's good to reduce the workload. Anyway, General Su's personality will never tolerate our nonsense. This is called prescribing the right medicine." Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and said with pride. But he also understood that even if
He would handle it regardless of General Su. If he hadn't needed some time to study the energy in his body, he wouldn't have done this.
"Then what are we going to do these two days?" Li Chengqian asked excitedly. Lin Yi had the most crazy ideas, and he couldn't wait.
"Who knows what you want to play? I want to practice. After my last breakthrough, I still haven't figured out how to use the energy in my body." Lin Yi felt very depressed when he mentioned this. It's not okay for the energy in his body to always run so slowly.
Ah, isn't this a delay at this crucial moment?
"Ah? You want to practice? Then what do I want to do?" Li Chengqian was dumbfounded. It turned out to be different from what he thought.
"I don't care what you want to do. If you're bored, you can practice." Lin Yi left these words and walked away.
All that was left was Diandian winking at him and smiling at him on the table.
Li Chengqian glared at Diandian who was gloating about his misfortune, and ran away feeling depressed.
Lin Yi confessed to Bing'er and began to retreat into seclusion. During this period, no one came to see him.
Li Chengqian was completely let go, but he was not happy at all. Although he still had Wang Bao to play with, the feeling was different. Even riding a horse and running wildly could not vent his depression. In the end, he was extremely bored.
, just lying on the grass and basking in the sun.
The eight people in Shuozhou Inn, after discussion, went directly to Dingxiang. They believed that this was the place where the prince must go, and the best way was to wait and see, and there was still enough time to arrange the arrangements.
This time they finally acted separately, not because they realized the specialness of themselves and others, but because they each had their own abilities. If they acted together, they would be tied up and not coordinate well.
A house next to the west gate of Dingxiang City was bought by a pair of very short twin men. There was no counter-offer. The owner happily took the money and went to the pass.
A simple farm man stayed in a small inn in the south of the city. He actually asked for a single room. This surprised the boss because he didn't expect this man to be quite generous.
The fat man found a temple in the north of the city, paid for some sesame oil, and paid for accommodation. He did nothing else every day but worshiped Buddha sincerely.
The one who was as skinny as a bamboo pole directly caught a gangster on the street, and then followed him back to their hometown.
The scholar with the goatee bought some things and set up a hexagram stall near the east gate of Dingxiang City.
The somewhat dull young master followed the strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and checked into the best inn in Dingxiang. This inn is located in Zhongyang, the busiest street.
In the past few days, the gangsters on the street no longer go door to door to extort money. They just rush to every corner of Dingxiang City. They are familiar with the terrain carefully, and they can even count the side of the back door of each house.
It was very clear. Then I started visiting teahouses and restaurants, only listening but not talking, and bringing the news back to my hometown at night.
Then every night, these eight people got together in the twins' mansion. After all, they wanted to work together this time and had to set up a plan. During the day, they each prepared things they might use. Then they waited.
The noble prince of the Tang Dynasty entered the urn.
Li Tai was counting the days with his fingers in Baifu Hall. He lived anxiously every day, rehearsing various responses to success and failure in his mind countless times.
The whole night of insomnia made him very grumpy. This was the first time in his life that he didn't listen to what his teacher taught in class, so he didn't dare to go to his father, the emperor, and the empress often to say hello during this period.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to answer my father's test.
"Your Majesty, please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look. You have lost a lot of weight and your health is in serious condition." Zhu Kun worriedly advised his prince.
"I have to keep a low profile at this time. I wish I could make myself transparent so that no one can notice it. If I hire an imperial doctor, my father will be alarmed, so forget it." There was no blood at all on Li Tai's fat face.
Insomnia in the past few days has caused his physical condition to plummet.
His father was not a vegetarian. Li Tai didn't want to show any abnormality to avoid being caught.
"How about I go get a prescription and you can eat it first." Zhu Kun was very worried about Li Tai's health. If this continued, he would not be able to endure it.
"No, there are no secrets in this palace. As soon as you brew the medicine here, your father will get the news over there." Li Tai sighed. He also wanted to improve the current situation, but there was no way. He just
Can't control my emotions.
"How about letting Wu Liu cook outside the palace before bringing him in?" Zhu Kun racked his brains for ideas.
"Haha... You are really naive. You can't get through the light palace gate guards." Li Tai laughed at Zhu Kun's silly idea.
"Uh... That's true. The prince is very thoughtful. In this case, I will go find out what kind of food is helpful for insomnia, and then ask the cook to make more." Zhu Kun could not think of any other way.
"Okay, let's go. By the way, I want to ask Wu Liu, do you have any news about those guys?" Although Li Tai asked this, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for them to send back any information in such a short period of time.
He couldn't help but want to ask.
"Yes." Zhu Kun also understood very well. Li Tai started asking two days ago, he was just impatient.
Zhu Kun left the Baifu Palace and found Wu Liu who was on duty outside, and explained the matter. Now Li Tai did not allow him to leave the palace casually, so Wu Liu could only handle this matter.
"Eunuch Zhu, I'm a little worried about that. I want to send a guard over to watch, but I don't want to alarm the prince, lest he worry. Do you think there is any way?" The skinny Wu Liu was very worried about this favored eunuch beside Li Tai.
It's respect, but only he knows whether it's superficial or heartfelt.
Zhu Kun frowned, he couldn't alarm the prince about this matter, otherwise the prince would suffer from insomnia and it would be useless to eat anything.
"Well, let's just say that he went back to his hometown for funeral. You report it to the prince, and I will help you cover it up. It should be no problem for such a small matter, but I am afraid that it will attract the attention of interested people." Zhu Kun was not worried about Li Tai at all.
, he knows Li Tai’s temperament and knows how to deal with it.
