I brought Li Er to the academy. There have been many changes here in the past. The academy has been expanded a lot, with the most dormitory. Now there are still many under construction. The entire academy is almost integrated with the village.

"Gu Qing, do you want to turn this place into a big city?" Li Er looked at everything here.

"I have indeed thought so." Gu Qing whispered, "It's just that I don't know how to build a city wall."

"Why don't you build a city wall?" Li Er asked again.

"I think the world is in a long-term state of peace, so why do you need to build a city wall to defend against whom?" Gu Qing replied with a smile.

Li Er nodded very pertinently. The city walls are meaningful. The wars of so many years have been back and forth in the city defense war. I want your village to never have a city wall."

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded vigorously.

In the era of thermal weapons, the role of the city wall would be much less. I wonder if Li Er realized this. Besides, the benefits of knocking down the city wall are many. A city wall needs transportation. Now the most important development of the Tang Dynasty is transportation.

After wandering in the academy for a long time, Li Er would smile unconsciously when he saw the children here.

The breeze blows, and the tender buds on the willow trees have grown in spring. The green symbol dotted on the dead branches is vitality, and the same is true for the court. Young officials are the vitality of the court. If the people standing in the court are all old people, then the dynasty will not be far from being destroyed. Li Er understands this truth very well and knows the importance of this academy in the future.

All children have the opportunity to study, officials must come from the people's homes and completely break the monopoly of the gentry. Li Er, this academy, is at ease. At least the one who manages this academy now is Fang Xuanling's son and Li Tai. These two children can do good things. Although Gu Qing opened this academy, Gu Qing did not hold the rights of the academy in his own hands, but retreated behind the scenes.

Li Er admired Gu Qing's actions very much and gave him the opportunity to be arrogant. This also well confirms Gu Qing's words back then, that would rather be a rich man.

Chang'an

The battle between Li Chengqian and Gu Qing was in a stalemate. Under the agitation of the Chang'an powerful people, Li Chengqian's decree forbidding the banquet was increasing, and memorials were sent to the palace to advise every day.

Faced with so many advice, Li Chengqian ignored it and used a cold treatment method to allow these powerful people to oppose it. After all, this kind of thing has no big impact on the people. Li Chengqian also knew in his heart that as long as the interests of the people are not moved, the powerful and the agitated can be ignored. If they make trouble, they can also use the reasons for others.

Standing in the quiet Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian looked at the position where his father had sat, "Gu Qing! You do the first day of the lunar month and I will do the fifteenth day of the lunar month! I don't care if you cut off your wealth. If the powerful and powerful make trouble, I will take down your wings and cut off your wings, who dares to do business with you Gu Qing in the future?"

"Tell me my will." Li Chengqian said to the little eunuch beside him, "Whoever dares to hold a banquet against my will, no matter who is the powerful family, I will take it to me."

"Yes!" The little eunuch next to him nodded.

In East City, Chang'an, Di Renjie was chatting with the fat monk in Bizhai, "Now His Majesty has not yet taken back the order to hold a banquet."

The monk nodded and said, "If you do this, you will lose the heart of the powerful. If the powerful has a high reputation, Li Chengqian will eliminate the powerful. This is necessary. There are too many complicated entanglements between Guerer and the powerful and powerful in the current dynasty, and it is inevitable that there will be fire."

"It seems that I'm going to pass the message." Di Renjie smiled and left Bizhai, and came all the way to the Li family's house in Zhaojun, Chang'an, and spoke to the concierge here, "Di Renjie is here."

"It turns out to be Mr. Di." The concierge said with a smile, "Please come in, the head of the family had long expected someone from the Gu family to come."

"Thank you." Di Renjie walked in with a smile, and saw Li Ran dancing in the courtyard, bowing and saluting, "Sister."

"You are here." Li Ran put down the long sword in his hand and looked at Di Renjie, "My sister has been doing well these days."

"Wan'er has always been worried about her sister, but she is pregnant and it is difficult to go out." Di Renjie smiled, "I don't know when it will be convenient for my sister to go see Wan'er."

"I'll go after the work here." Li Ran smiled and said, "You have grown a lot taller. The little kid from the past is now a minister of Dali Temple. No wonder you have experienced more things than ordinary kids at such a young age."

The Li family's house is quite large, and it is one of the best houses in Chang'an. Di Renjie whispered, "The powerful and powerful should not cause trouble. If they make trouble, they will be exactly what Li Chengqian wants."

"I will pass on the message to the powerful people." Li Ran nodded, "But I think what Li Chengqian wants more is the support of the powerful people. If he wants to eliminate the powerful people, there will be too many things to do, but it will be much easier to want the support of the powerful people."

"But sometimes the powerful will also pose a threat to the royal family." Di Renjie was still a little worried.

"I understand, you go back first." Li Ran said to Di Renjie, "Let me think about it."

"Sister, Wan'er really cares about you." Di Renjie said again.

"I understand." Li Ran nodded slightly.

Walking out of the Li family's house in Zhaojun, Di Renjie walked slowly on the streets of Chang'an and entered the bustling crowd.

Songtsen Gampo returned to Tubo, and looked at this hometown and felt deeply moved, "After so many years, my Songtsen Gampo has finally returned."

Lu Dongzan came quickly with his horse. When he saw Songzan Gampo turn over and get off the horse and kneel on one knee, "Zanpu! You are finally back."

"I'm back, I'm back." Songzan Gampo choked, his eyes red, "Is it all OK here?"

"Very good." Lu Dongzan nodded, "Have Zanpu been having a good life over the years?"

"It's pretty good." Songtsen Gampo nodded, "If Li Chengqian had not ascended the throne, I wouldn't have come back!"

On the edge of Qinghai, Lu Dongzan talked about the changes in Tubo over the years to Songtsen Gampo. The Tang Dynasty gave Tubo a lot of support, and Lu Dongzan said everything in detail.

"In other words, Gu Qing wants to do business with us Tubo and open academy?" Lu Dongzan was puzzled.

"Now there are children who are learning Guanzhong dialect." Lu Dongzan said, "Because we want to do business with the Central Plains, many of us Tubo people are learning Guanzhong dialect. If we have money, the lives of the Tubo people will be much better. In recent years, many Tubo people are displaced, and after the war, Tubo is too poor."
