Li Shimin

Chapter 399 Map Influence
"This afternoon, the entire city of Chang'an has been spread. You captured all the Hu merchants in the West City and drew a map of the world. On that map, the area occupied by the Tang Dynasty is only one Chengdu did not!

With such a large territory, many people have guessed that the old man will follow His Majesty's edict with Su Guogong, Zhao Guogong and other important officials to attack those small barbarian countries. "

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong snorted again, and walked directly to the main hall.

Being able to wait at the gate for more than half an hour is already his limit, and now he has to lie down for a while.

"Aye, which bastard made the news?"

Hearing this, Li Chongyi immediately became angry.

He clearly said that they were just drawing pictures, but they had no intention of attacking those barbarian countries. Isn't this a rumor?
"This matter was first reported from Jingzhaowei's family. Could it be that the Wei family is planting and framing you?"

Li Xiaogong was taken aback for a moment, then his expression froze.

"Returning to Aye, it's not about framing, it's just that what he said was a bit exaggerated, and the boy also made it clear at the time that this move was only for drawing pictures, not for attacking the feudal kingdom!"

Li Chongyi said helplessly.

As for Jingzhaowei's family, it must be that Wesson gossips.

Thinking about it, Li Chongyi unfolded the map in his hand and put it on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong's expression froze, he hurried over and looked carefully.

As for whether to spread rumors or not, he didn't care too much. Apart from His Majesty, the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County was not afraid of anyone.

The more he looked, the more shocked Li Chongyi looked, and he was faintly excited.

"In the whole world, is Datang really only as big as a slap?"

After a while, Li Xiaogong raised his head, stared at Li Chongyi closely, and asked with a look of disbelief.

"Back to Aye, it is true!"

Li Chongyi quickly replied.

"how can that be?"

Li Xiaogong still couldn't believe it, "My Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, with a territory of thousands of miles, it's actually less than [-]% of the world?"

"Aye, this map was drawn by Master. I couldn't believe it when I saw it for the first time. Only then did I come to Xishi specifically, and after asking all the Hu merchants, I was convinced that the map drawn by Master is the same as those Hu merchants. The one painted by Shang is exactly the same, and even more comprehensive!"

Li Chongyi explained.

"I didn't expect that besides the Tang Dynasty, there is such a vast territory in the world!"

Li Xiaogong muttered to himself, then stood up, picked up the map, and walked out: "No, I want to enter the palace!"

"Entering the palace? It's so late, why is Aye entering the palace?"

Li Chongyi was startled.

"Such a major event must be reported to His Majesty!" Li Xiaogong said.

"Aye, Gao Ming, Changsun Chong and others also have this map!"

Li Chongyi said slowly.

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was taken aback for a moment, then sighed lightly, turned around and sat back on the sofa, picked up the map of the world, and looked at it carefully again.

For a while, the brows are tightened, for a while, the smile is bright, and for a while, they are heartbroken and furious...

Seeing his own Aye's facial expression, which changed faster than his master, Li Chongyi's expression gradually became tense, for fear that this map would show his own Aye's mental illness.

However, he didn't dare to disturb Aye's thinking and fidgeted.

That bottle of white wine...

Suddenly, Li Chongyi thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he quietly looked at the liquor beside the coffee table.

"Nie Zhan, what do you want to do?"

Just when he was about to reach out his hand, Li Xiaogong let out an angry roar, which made Li Chongyi tremble.

"Hey, Aye, baby..." Li Chongyi hastily smiled flatteringly.

"Come back so late, why don't you hurry up and say hello to your mother?"

Li Xiaogong said.

"Yes, Ayer!"

Li Chongyi quickly stood up and walked quickly to the backyard.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong snorted coldly, and continued to look down at the crude map that could be seen clearly at a glance.

Similarly, Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong, Du Gou and others are also facing this situation.

Only Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong left Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin free at home because of their expedition to the Turks. The most comfortable thing is that they don't have to worry about someone snatching their hard-earned liquor.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, had just entered the gate of the East Palace when he was invited to the Hall of Liangyi by a servant who had been waiting for a long time.

This time, Li Chengqian also learned to be smart.

After seeing the etiquette, he directly handed over the map and liquor in his hand to Li Shimin.

"Is this the map of the world that the major families in the city are talking about today?"

Li Shimin was so curious about this miraculous map of the world that had already been handed down in the aristocratic family, he didn't even take a look at Baijiu, he just opened it and looked at it.

The more he looked, the more surprised he looked.

"Why does my Great Tang only have such a little bit?"

"Returning to Father, Master said that my Great Tang is in the whole world, and I have not occupied even [-]% of the territory."

Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed his hands and said.

"What [-]%? According to this map, my Tang Dynasty doesn't even occupy half of it!"

Li Shimin muttered to himself.

Then, after a long while, he looked at Li Chengqian expectantly again.

"Gao Ming, is this map drawn by Xuan Ba?"

"Returning to Father Emperor, it was drawn by Jin Wangshu, but Jin Wangshu is not very familiar with some distant feudal states, so I only made it up after comparing with the maps of those Hu merchants in the West Market. "

Li Chengqian hurriedly handed over the report.

"Very good!"

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

"With this map, I realized that I used to be like looking at the sky from a well. I only knew about the feudal kingdoms around the Great Tang, but I didn't know that there was such a vast territory outside the Great Tang, and there was even a Great Food Empire as powerful as the Great Tang! "

"This time, with this map, you have made great contributions to Datang!"

"great merit?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, "This afternoon, the Wei family spread the news of this map, and even a map similar to this map was revealed.

Nowadays, all the aristocratic families in the entire Chang'an city also know this kind of map.

With this map, I don't have to worry about these aristocratic families being indifferent to those territories outside the Tang Dynasty! "

As he spoke, Li Shimin was full of confidence.

Indeed, as Li Shimin said, wait until Wei Sen returns to Wei's house with the map he drew from memory.

Immediately, all the elders of the Wei family were shocked, and some even wept with joy.

However, something went wrong, less than an hour after Wei Sen returned to Wei's house, all the big families in Chang'an City came to visit Wei's house together.

As a result, that magical map of the world began to spread rapidly among the aristocratic families in Chang'an City.

"Congratulations, father, as long as those aristocratic families are moved by these territories outside the Tang Dynasty, then father's resistance in the court will be much less!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was also full of joy.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded with a happy face, and then said: "Okay, if you have contributed to the picture, I will definitely reward you a lot."

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

Later, seeing that Li Shimin had nothing to say, Li Chengqian hurriedly resigned.

However, what Li Chengqian and others didn't know was that the influence of that map was far less than this.

Even though the curfew has already started in Chang'an City, there is still a lot of noise in the entire Chang'an City's aristocratic family's mansion.

Even Li Shimin looked at the map and saw the second watch.

This map, like a treasure map, is placed in front of the major forces.
