Datang: Li Shimin eavesdropped on my heart

Chapter 80 The Legend of Wu Song Fighting the Tiger

Changan.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

The discussions among the courtiers continued.

Many people were pointing and pointing at Li Chengqian.

Said that he had no way at all, and some said that his so-called way was to cool down with ice water.

But this method doesn't work.

After all, people in Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of hiding ice in cold weather.

Even if the common people wanted to hide ice, they couldn't do it.

Only royal nobles and rich merchants have cellar fern ice.

At first, it was just a discussion.

I don't know how long the courtiers discussed, and finally a military officer stood up.

Facing Li Chengqian, he asked, "Magistrate Li."

"The weather in the Tang Dynasty is so hot now that the common people are dying from the heat."

"The method you mentioned is not to use ice water to cool down!"

"If this ice water cooling method can be extended to the whole country, we ministers will not discuss this matter every morning."

Li Chengqian looked at the military officer who was posing a problem for himself.

"General Wu."

Li Chengqian shook his head, and continued: "This county magistrate's way to save the people is not to cool down with ice water."

"It's saltpeter making ice. As long as ordinary people have a lot of ice in their homes, are they still afraid of the hot weather?"

"This……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The official whom Li Chengqian called General Wu sneered.

When other courtiers heard Li Chengqian's idea of ​​saving the people, it turned out to be ice made from saltpeter.

They also laughed along with General Wu.

They were all laughing at Li Chengqian, only Li Shimin, Xu Gonggong and Jiangnan Governor Wang Qinian did not laugh at Li Chengqian.

Everyone knows that this saltpeter is one of the key materials for making gunpowder.

Use the materials used to make gunpowder to make ice.

Isn't this a big joke?
What if an explosion occurs during the process of making ice with saltpeter?
Who dares to bear such consequences?
Don't say you are just a deposed prince.

As long as the Danan-scale explosion occurs, you are considered the current emperor.

Can't afford the consequences.

Once domestic saltpeter was used to make ice, countless incidents occurred, and people were killed.

There will definitely be chaos in the country, and there will be chaos in the country.

Then there will be many peasant uprisings, plus Turks and other countries that often invade Datang for food.

At that time, I am afraid that Datang will soon destroy the country.

then.

The courtiers all knelt down to Li Shimin, and they all said that this method was not feasible.

Request to drive Li Chengqian out.

Li Shimin looked at such a scene, and he and Xu Gonggong beside him looked at each other.

He asked softly, "Grandpa Xu, what should we do now?"

He is the No. 1 power in the Tang Dynasty, and now he is facing such a situation.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Originally!
Last night, Li Shimin summoned Wang Qinian late at night.

Both of them have thought through all the possible things that might happen.

But what I didn't expect was that things were proceeding step by step according to their plan.

No one expected that a military general would appear.

Let Li Shimin's plan go to waste.

Could it be me.

Must use strong means to force the courtiers to agree to promote this method of making ice with saltpeter throughout the country?
It's not impossible, but if I do it this way.

Then.

How will future history books evaluate me?

I don't want to learn from Yang Guang.

I want to be a wise king, I want to be an eternal emperor.

"County Lee."

"Everyone knows that this saltpeter is one of the important materials for making gunpowder."

"This method of making ice with saltpeter, if not feasible."

"Once there is an explosion during the production process, who can afford it?"

"you……"

Li Chengqian looked at General Wu who was against him everywhere.

He wanted to explain something, but thought about it for a while.

In the end, he swallowed the words in his mouth.

Say one thousand, say ten thousand.

It's better to let the courtiers see it with their own eyes, and come to reality.

As long as the courtiers saw the saltpeter making ice with their own eyes, they could successfully make ice without exploding.

So who dares to stand up against it?

Li Chengqian thought so in his heart.

But his eyes stared fiercely at General Wu.

This general's real name is Wu Song.

Other soldiers became generals by virtue of their military exploits, but this one was fine.

Wu Song has never been on the battlefield, but became a general of Datang.

And he was also Li Jing's general.

How can you say that this makes those military officers who have become generals through insensitive military exploits not angry?

Wu Song was originally just a countryman.

Once, Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, led troops to fight the Turkic army.

That battle was very difficult.

In that battle, the two princes, Wei Wang Li Tai and Wu Wang Li Ke, also participated in the battle.

The Tang army was ambushed by the enemy, and Wu Wang Li Ke almost confessed to being in that battle.

Fortunately, the soldiers under Li Jing vowed to protect him from escaping.

On the way to escape.

Wu Wang Li Ke was hunted down all the way.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people protecting him, he was about to be hacked to death by two enemy soldiers.

A tiger appeared.

The two enemy soldiers were frightened by the sudden appearance of the tiger, and were torn to pieces alive by the big tiger.

Wu Wang Li Ke took advantage of the time when the tiger was enjoying "food".

He ran in one direction.

Just a pity.

His strength had already been exhausted during the pursuit by the enemy.

Soon.

Wu Wang Li Ke was caught up by the tiger.

Just when he was about to be eaten by a tiger.

A countryman who was chopping firewood in the mountains saw it.

This person Wu is Wu Song, Wu Song is born with supernatural power.

He wrestled with the tiger and beat the tiger to death with one punch and one punch.

Since then.

Wu Song became a guard beside Wu Wang Li Ke.

Simultaneously.

The legend of Wu Song fighting the tiger was passed down through word of mouth throughout the Tang Dynasty, from the royal family to the nobles and down to the common people.

No one does not know.

All praised Wu Song as a tiger-fighting hero.

In fact.

Wu Song only killed one tiger.

In the process of word of mouth among many people.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

He even said that Wu Wusong only took one stick of incense.

Killed ten tigers.

This incident reached the ears of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor appreciated the tiger fighting hero very much.

In the end, he was appointed as a general under Li Jing.

Wu Song's position as a general is precisely because he did not get it by military exploits.

So in the court, many people don't like Wu Song.

Especially the military attache group.

Each of their military officers climbed to the position of general step by step by relying on countless military exploits.

But this one is good, because of a legend about fighting a tiger that is not known to be true or false, he easily became a general.

Everyone is not convinced.

But this is the emperor's decision.

They had no choice but to discuss Wu Song's faults in private.

Just scold Wu Song to vent his anger.

Li Chengqian thought viciously.

When I get back the crown prince, I must treat you well, the tiger-fighting hero.

Didn't you claim to be able to kill ten tigers within the time of one stick of incense?
When I regain the crown prince, I will let you perform well.

Are you a tiger-fighting hero, as in the legend, or a liar.
