The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 269 Mother and Son

"Before he came back, an expert should have made a detailed plan, what to do first, what to do next, and what goal to achieve in the end."

Li Shimin said with a solemn expression, "Now he is dissatisfied with my hesitation, so he took out the phonograph, the train and the iron-clad ship, and urged me to take action quickly."

But Changsun Wugou shook his head and said: "I don't think Jing Ke's mind can do this."

"He took these things out to induce you, I admit that. But the purpose is definitely not a family plan, it just wants you to pay attention to Gephysics."

Li Shimin frowned, his eyes flickering.

The eldest grandson Wugou continued: "I know what you are worried about, but to put it bluntly, if the family behind him is really planning something, can you resist it?"

Looking at the running train, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

Artillery, gunboats... iron battleships, trains, super high medical skills, glass, food, world maps...

This is only what Chen Jingke took out, there will only be more that he didn't take out.

Having mastered such a powerful skill, if there really is a force behind him, it must be too strong to make people despair.

If the other party really wants to change the dynasty, there is no need for any conspiracy at all, just push and crush.

He understands the truth, but as the emperor, how could he not be worried.

Changsun Wugou knew that his heart disease was hard to get rid of, and simple persuasion was useless, so he thought for a while and said:

"Suspicion can't solve any problems. Even if he is killed, it won't be able to shorten the gap between us and the Chen clan."

"Instead of being suspicious of him, it's better to try to learn all the knowledge and use it to strengthen Datang. This is the only way to shorten the gap between us and them."

"When railways are laid to every inch of land, and when ironclad battleships fill the rivers and seas, even if they want to destroy Datang, we still have the capital to resist."

If you know there are good things but don't learn or use them, then when others really hit you, you can only kill them.

Of course, she didn't say the last sentence.

But it was enough for Li Shimin: "It's better for you to see clearly. Whether the Chen family is still here or not, and what plans they have, is actually not important to us."

"If we are strong enough, they will not be afraid even if they have a big conspiracy. Conversely, even if someone puts a plan on our face, we have nothing to do."

"Everything depends on our strength. After hesitating for so long, it is time to act."

The eldest grandson Wugou said happily: "Erlang is wise."

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "It's just that there are so many important issues in the country, and I don't know how to proceed for a while."

Changsun Wugou suggested: "No matter how you change, you cannot do without the support of your courtiers. Now that you have decided to make a change, why not call your trusted courtiers into the palace to discuss countermeasures together."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's the only way to go. Tomorrow you will go to Zixiao Temple and ask Jing Ke to see if he has any ideas."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Okay, little Si is angry today because she was in a hurry, I will take her to see her good brother tomorrow."

Thinking of his favorite little padded jacket, Li Shimin felt even more irritable, wishing he could kill that nasty guy.

In the early morning of the next day, the eldest grandson Wugou took his little son to Zixiao Temple.Then it was discovered that her son Li Tai was also there.

"Mom, you're here." Li Tai seemed to have guessed that she would come, and he didn't find it strange at all.

On the contrary, Changsun Wugou asked a little strangely: "Why did you come here so early? Is there anything you can do with Jing Ke?"

Li Tai said: "It's not that I came early, but I didn't leave yesterday. I'm going to learn Gephysics from Jing Ke, and he has promised to teach me."

Changsun Wugou's heart moved, and he said: "Follow him and learn from him, and strive to succeed in learning as soon as possible."

Li Tai smiled and said: "You know my character, or don't learn it, once you learn it, you will learn the best."

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded, looked at him and said, "The child has his own ideas when he grows up. How many years have we not talked about each other?"

Li Tai was silent.

The eldest grandson Wugou sighed in his heart, and said: "It's because I demanded too much. Life is not as good as it should be, and there are many things that can't be done."

"As a mother, I don't force you to assist your brother. I just hope that you don't follow the old path of your predecessors."

Li Taiqiang smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I just want to learn Gephysics with Jing Ke. Don't you think it's amazing to make a phonograph?"

At the same time, he thought to himself: After a few years, I will leave Chang'an to enfeoff the land when I become crowned. Then you don't have to worry, brother can rest assured.

The eldest grandson Wugou wanted to talk to him about the enfeoffment. As the direct prince, he would definitely get a piece of fertile land big enough to serve as a feudal state, and he could still display his talents at that time.

But this matter is only a conjecture now, and no one knows what will happen in the future.It is too early to say that if the plan changes at that time, it will arouse his rebellious psychology.

So it's better not to say anything until the matter is confirmed. Thinking of this, she took back what she just said, patted Li Tai on the shoulder, and said:

"Let's learn from Jing Ke. If you don't overwhelm yourself with skills, one day all this knowledge will be useful."

Li Tai said with a smile: "No, I don't have such big ideals and ambitions, I just learn these things because I like them."

Changsun Wugou knew that he was blaming himself, and felt so uncomfortable that tears almost fell out.

Turning around to prevent him from seeing her gaffe, she tried her best to hold back her tears and said, "Really, it's good to find something you're interested in, as long as you're happy, so is Mom."

Seeing this, Li Tai felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have hurt her so much.He wanted to apologize, but he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

At this time, the little sizi ran over 'thump, thump, thump' and shouted: "Mother, I have found my brother."

The eldest grandson Wugou forcibly pulled himself together and boasted: "Really, little Si is really amazing, where did you find your brother?"

The little si said happily: "In the workshop in the outer courtyard, my brother is making steam... steam engines."

Chen Jingke, who was following behind, explained with a smile: "I'm going to build a practical steam engine, and the imperial court can just let people imitate it. Just now I asked the blacksmith to prepare the required materials."

The eldest grandson Wugou said approvingly: "That's right, make it as soon as possible, and the imperial court will use it soon if there is no accident."

Chen Jingke heard his voice-over, feeling proud.

No matter how afraid these emperors and generals are of new technologies, as long as they have the heart of expansion, they cannot refuse steam engines and trains.

However, he didn't know that what really prompted Li Shimin to change was not the new technology, but the "Chen Clan" behind him.

But no matter what, Datang finally embarked on the path he expected due to mistakes.

Li Tai knew that his mother must have something important to do when he came to find Chen Jingke, so he made an excuse and took his little son out.

Xiao Sizi was also very sensible, and said to Chen Jingke: "Brother, I will come to play with you later."

So I went out with Li Tai.

When they left, Changsun Wugou said seriously: "You have been motivating His Majesty to innovate, but this matter is so complicated that you don't know where to start. Do you have a plan?"
