Chapter 520

"What, you're going to the western expedition!" said Princess Changle.

"Yes, the firearms supervisor of the western expedition will accompany him with new firearms. General Li Jing personally ordered the general, and his majesty has agreed." Merton said proudly.

Princess Changle said unhappily, "when are you still proud? It's a war. You don't know martial arts. How can you go to the battlefield? No, I'll go to ask my father for mercy."

With that, Princess Changle quickly got up and went to Taiji palace. Merton quickly grabbed her and stopped her back.

Before Merton spoke, he heard a sudden cough. A sharp look stared at his hand. Middle-aged gong'e stared at the hand they held.

Merton was cheeky and didn't let go. However, Princess Changle couldn't hang her face. Her face turned red and broke her hand away. She didn't immediately ask Li Shimin for mercy, but waved her hand and said, "Liu e, step back first!"

The middle-aged gong-e suddenly looked like, "princess, maidservant..."

"Afternoon, Merton and I have something to say." Princess Changle couldn't refuse.

"The princess, the maidservant is waiting outside the door..." Liu e had to step down and gave Morton a hate warning before leaving,

Merton explained: "I will not go to the western expedition this time, but will command the firearm supervisor to use gunpowder. Naturally, there is no danger."

Merton did not tell the truth. Although he would not charge ahead, he was not without a threat. Once the power of gunpowder appeared, it would certainly become the target of public criticism and be the focus of the enemy's attack.

"Besides, this time, General Li personally led the army and could not beat a Tuyuhun. All the generals in the whole Tang Dynasty crowded their heads to grab military skills. It would be a great honor for me to get general Li's generals!" Merton said.

Princess Changle naturally knew that she was Li Jing's leader, and Li Jing's ability was recognized by the whole Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin used Li Jing as a general, but also to finish the battle, eliminate Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, and intimidate other countries around him.

After all, Tuyuhun are cavalry. They come and go like the wind. If the front drags too long, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to Datang.

"Moreover, I boast in front of the emperor. It is impossible to collect the bride price within a year only by virtue of the salary of the firearm supervisor. This western expedition is just the best time." Merton said with a smile.

Princess Changle's face suddenly turned red again. She looked at Merton angrily and said, "it's all your boasting. What others don't know is that it's buying and selling marriage?"

Merton said with a wry smile, "if I don't make some expression, you think your majesty can let go so easily. Besides, it's not the money that your majesty tests, but my determination. Otherwise, no matter how much money Princess Tang gets married, your majesty won't be moved."

Princess Changle was immediately moved by the speech and hated weisi'an. If weisi'an hadn't made trouble, how could they be so difficult.

"But I'm afraid it will take you at least half a year," said Princess Changle reluctantly.

The two have just confirmed their relationship. It is the period of love. Suddenly, they have been separated for so long. Naturally, they are reluctant to give up.

"Don't worry, I've already prepared. I've arranged for the Mohist children to write to you on time every five days on the brick road from Chang'an to Lanzhou." Merton said.

They suddenly fell into sweet memories, and the memories of their sneaky letter writing surged into their hearts.

"Tell princess, your majesty summoned mohou." suddenly, Liu e's voice outside the door broke the ambiguity between them.

Merton immediately looked unhappy and had to get up. As soon as he came out of the hall door, he saw pound waiting there with a smile on his face.

"Mohou, let's go. Your majesty has been waiting for a long time," said pound.

Merton smiled bitterly when he heard the speech. He was supposed to say goodbye to Princess Changle today, but he didn't intend to see Li Shimin. He didn't expect Li Shimin to specially summon him.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Merton waved to Princess Changle who sent her out of the door and strode towards the Tai Chi hall.

In the Tai Chi hall,

Li Shimin was turning his back to the gate. There was a huge map in front of him. He didn't even notice Merton coming in.

"Your Majesty, Moho has arrived." pound came forward and whispered.

"See your majesty!" Merton saluted.

Li Shimin did not turn around, but waved his hand. Pound immediately bowed out. When he left, he took the door of the hall. In an instant, there were only Merton and Li Shimin left in the whole hall, and they fell into silence.

"Universal love, non attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, Tianzhi, Minggui, non life, non music, economical use and festival burial." the light outside the window pulled Li Shimin's shadow for a long time, and Li Shimin's secluded voice sounded in the room.

Merton said proudly, "Your Majesty, please remember that these are the ten basic concepts of Mohism."

Li Shimin suddenly turned around, stared directly at Merton and said, "since it's the idea of Mohism, I have a question I want you to answer today."

"Your Majesty, please speak clearly!" Merton was immediately ready.

Li Shimin said, "what I want to ask is Tianzhi!"

"Tianzhi?" Merton immediately frowned. He thought Li Shimin had called himself to the audience because of the western expedition, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to specifically mention the concept of Mohism.

Tianzhi is the core idea of Mohism and the clear law of the world. Mozi Tianzhi first: "I have Tianzhi, for example, if the wheel man has rules and the craftsman has moments. The wheel craftsman abides by his rules to spend the world."

However, not only the Mohists have Tianzhi, Confucianism also advocates Tianzhi. It believes that heaven and earth have will. Once the people are unable to make a living, they will be warned by heaven.

At this time, Merton understood Li Shimin's meaning a little, and immediately figured out how to answer.

"All dynasties and all schools of thought that the natural disaster was a warning from heaven, but now your Mohist school has broken this eternal truth. Floods, droughts, locusts can be overcome. Not long ago, you personally broke the lie of Tiangou eating the sun." Li Shimin said word by word.

Although the dog eclipse on the first day of May has not been confirmed, the various mistakes of the dog eclipse previously pointed out by Merton have convinced Li Shimin that the dog eclipse is indeed an astronomical phenomenon, not a warning from heaven.

"Chen is also a bold guess." Merton swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said cautiously.

Li Shimin's face was completely in the shadow, only a pair of eyes were bright and scary, and said, "let me make you dare to guess again. Do you say that the Earth Dragon turning over is also a warning from heaven?"

"Earth Dragon turned over, earthquake!" Merton said in surprise.

"Yes, it's an earthquake! All the three rivers in the Western Zhou Dynasty were shocked. At the age of, when the three rivers were exhausted, Qishan collapsed; Ye was shocked by electricity, which made him uneasy. All rivers were boiling, mountains and tombs collapsed, high banks were valleys, and deep valleys were tombs. The damage of the earthquake was heaven and earth, which often heralded the subjugation of the country." Li Shimin came out of the shadow with a ferocious face.
