The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

Faced with the doubts and questions of Li Er and others, Li Changge couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

He knew that in the history from the late Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the invention of the HUO medicine was purely an unexpected gain for alchemists in their pursuit of immortality. The birth of many chemical products in history is actually inextricably linked with alchemy and alchemy, and the root of the word "chemi" in the English word "chemist" originates from alchemy. Although most of these attempts are aimed at illusory goals, such as immortality or instant wealth, they have also given rise to many of the basics of modern chemistry.

Regarding the specific properties and manufacturing process of the HUO medicine, Li Changge knew that even if he explained it in detail, with the knowledge background and language expression of the Tang Dynasty, the three courtiers would probably not be able to understand it thoroughly for three days and three nights.

So, he waved his hand and said frankly: "Brothers, don't ask about this huo medicine first, to be honest, even if I say it, you may not understand it." "

Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, and they were all stunned: what Li Changge said was indeed reasonable, and it was indeed difficult for them to understand this kind of thing that was beyond the times. But since Li Changge is so confident, they can only choose to be convinced for the time being, and remain curious and expectant.

Li Changge continued: "I need those raw materials for experiments, and if they are successful, ......

."

He smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with a sly and determined light, "At that time, you will all have the opportunity to make a fortune, and even if you want to give this thing to Your Majesty in exchange for fame and fortune, it is not difficult. Because the power and efficacy of these new gadgets will far exceed the traditional weapons such as the crossbow. "

......

The sound of horses' hooves echoed on the way home in the setting sun, and Li Er and his party left the outskirts of Youzhou and embarked on the road back to Chang'an.

Li Er's mood was complicated and contradictory, he felt as if this journey was to another world, if it weren't for the pamphlet given by Li Changge in his hand as evidence of reality, he would almost suspect that everything he had experienced was just a dream - how could there be such a talented and unfathomable character?

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Er's pamphlet and fell into contemplation, worried that Li Er was too immersed in it, so he cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, that booklet should be handed over to the minister for safekeeping, right?"

Li Er was awakened and responded with a little dissatisfaction: "This is the ...... given to me by my child" Then, he suddenly came to his senses, patted the booklet in his hand, and solemnly handed it to Fang Xuanling, "Okay, you take it, don't lose it." "

Looking back on the experience of this day, Li Er's heart was like a dream. The problem of leveling the vassal king was solved as desired, and initial progress was made in resisting foreign enemies, and the strategy of strengthening the army proposed by Li Changge paved the way for the reform of the Tang army.

This trip not only improved his understanding of governing the country and military affairs, but also unexpectedly obtained cutting-edge weapons making methods, and even tasted delicious hot pot.

All kinds of gains made him sigh that Li Changge's little Zhuangzi was simply a hidden treasure house, and his wisdom and talent were like an endless source.

Li Er took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other important ministers, with a determined light in his eyes: "Everyone, I have a bold idea. "

He paused, with a decisive tone in his tone, "Why don't we go back now, have a direct showdown, and take Li Changge's strategy as the core to thoroughly implement the country's military reform and the policy of cutting feudal domains!"

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be cautious!" Du Ruhui blurted out almost subconsciously, but as soon as the words fell, he fell into deep thought.

Recalling Li Changge's outstanding performance and amazing wisdom in the suburbs of Youzhou, as well as his two maids who were carefully trained to take care of the shop, Du Ruhui began to realize that if he wanted Li Changge to return to Chang'an, a showdown might be an option that had to be considered.

The

original plan to lure Li Changge back to Beijing with industry did not seem to work, because his life in the countryside was not only stable, but also solved many practical problems.

Although revealing Li Changge's identity and recalling him back to Chang'an may make him a thorn in the side of the family, with the changes in the current situation and the intensification of contradictions, even if he conceals it, Li Changge will sooner or later fall into danger due to his resourcefulness.

Therefore, the decision to bring Li Changge back to Chang'an and use his talents to solve the problems facing the country is all the more tempting and necessary.

After some careful consideration, Wei Zheng slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter can indeed be carefully considered. "

Li Er was a little surprised when he heard this, "I thought you would all oppose it." "

Wei Zheng shook his head lightly, with helplessness and determination in his tone, "Now is an eventful time, and we must face reality. "

Wei Zheng further explained: "The talents admired by ordinary princes and nobles are nothing more than good at poetry and songs, or well-read, and seem to be full of wealth, but in fact they have not made much achievements in solving the fundamental problems of the country, but they are just icing on the cake. But...... His Highness is very different. "

He looked directly into Li Er's eyes and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness's talent, whether it is internal reform or external defense against external enemies, can solve problems in a real way, and can always turn the tide at critical moments

Li Changge's existence, even if he puts aside his royal status, his outstanding talent and wisdom alone are enough for an upright and loyal minister like Wei Zheng to recommend Li Er without hesitation.

In the face of the current Turkic invasion, the stupidity of the family gate lords, and the multiple crises of Goguryeo in the north, Datang is at a critical juncture of internal and external troubles, and urgently needs talents like Li Changge who can turn the tide.

In the past, Wei Zheng often criticized and blamed Li Er when he was outspoken, but now when evaluating Li Changge, he gave unprecedented affirmation. Even Wei Zheng, who is known as the spirit of the eternal bar and the god of the bar, could not pick out any flaws from Li Changge.

The

other three ministers also thought so, and they knew that at the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, especially shortly after the Xuanwumen Incident, there was an urgent need to stabilize the internal order and resist the invasion of foreign enemies. If there is a wise man like Li Changge sitting in Chang'an, not only Li Er himself will feel at ease, but the entire imperial court will also benefit a lot.

However, although everyone had this intention in their hearts, Du Ruhui still cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, we have no objection to His Highness's return to Beijing. It's just that this matter involves a wide range of risks and is quite risky, and I ask Your Majesty to make a prudent decision. "

They all understood that Li Er was worried about the many enemies and worried that Li Changge was in danger.

After some careful consideration, Li Er finally decided to put this proposal on hold for the time being.

In his opinion, no matter how talented or mediocre Li Changge was, he was always his own child, and as a father, he should never put his sixteen-year-old child in danger.

Li Er's eyes looked out the window to the far north, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart: "It seems that the first priority is to solve these troublesome troubles first, whether it is the invasion of the Turks or the intrigue of the domestic family lords, they must be properly handled." Only in this way can I live a peaceful life with the people......
