Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 221 All the princes have not returned, Li Shimin is a little panicked
This……

Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, Qiqi was messed up in the wind.

What the princes did was exactly what His Royal Highness King Qin had guessed.

This can never be a coincidence.

Li Gen looked at his younger brothers.

There was a look of embarrassment on his face.

Turning his head away, he showed a bright smile.

Taking a deep breath, Li Gen turned his head.

"Since that's the case, let's all stay here. If the emperor father and the queen mother are held accountable, the eldest brother will take care of it..."

When Li Gen's words fell to the ground, all the princes cheered and jumped up.

Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong took the princesses back to Chang'an City, and took away with them the letters written by the princes to His Majesty and the Empress.

Wei Wang Li Tai even directly handed over the five "Kuo Di Zhi" that his elder brother gave him to Li Xiaogong.

Ask him to present his father and mother on his behalf, claiming that his "Kuo Di Zhi" has been completed, and he will stay in Luntai City and continue to receive his elder brother's teaching.

The prince insisted on staying, so what can the two county kings do?

"Brother Huang, His Royal Highness King Qin is truly an incredible talent."

After listening to Li Daozong's words, Li Xiaogong smiled and nodded, and said.

"Chengfan, since he first entered Chang'an City, Brother Huang has already seen it."

"If there are no accidents, we will wait for the best result."

After the returning convoy left Tianmen Pass, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong were surprised to find out.

The railway has been repaired beyond Tianmenguan.

Naturally, the two of them heard the name Railway from Li Gen.

"Brother Huang, according to this speed, it took five years? At most, there is still more than one year before the city of Chang'an can be built."

After listening to Li Daozong's words, Li Xiaogong smiled and shook his head and said.

"Chengfan, the further you go, the slower and slower it is!"

"His Royal Highness King Qin is right. The rail transportation will take longer and slower as the distance from Luntai City gets farther and farther away."

"There is no other better way, because only the factory in Luntai City can produce and manufacture such rails!"

"His Royal Highness asked us to bring back a steam engine. Look at this one machine. It is difficult to pull it with four horses."

"This is still a concrete road. If it were the official road in the past, they would not be able to move it at all."

Li Daozong nodded when he heard the words.

Indeed, just the delivery of the rails is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Brother Huang, in order to build this railway, His Royal Highness King Qin really worked hard."

Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, their stubborn illnesses have all been cured, the two of them are in a good mood along the way, and they are also in a happy mood when chatting.

As for Li Tai, Li Ke, Li You and others who stayed in Luntai City, their lives were also very prosperous.

Now they follow the elder brother every day in the laboratory of Luntai City College.

became their favorite place.

In the laboratory, the princes witnessed with their own eyes that incredible miracles were born one after another.

Many things that I dare not even dream of, turned into reality under the operation of my eldest brother.

Li Tai, Li Ke, Li You and others found out that the more they learned from their elder brother.

The more they feel that what they lack is too much, too much.

Any invention of the eldest brother can amaze them, and then start to study and operate tirelessly under the guidance of the eldest brother.

Right now!

Everyone has forgotten that they are princes.

Everyone has left behind what they once had, or dreamed about, or longed for, the road to succession.

Seize the heir?

There is an existence like Big Brother, which is enough for them to look up to.

From now on, let's hang out with them.

In fact, learning knowledge is really a very pleasant thing.

Knowledge makes people happy!

This statement is very reasonable!

In the minds of the princes, everyone has a complete planet.

They also know where they are, and they who have learned to read the map also know where Chang'an City is located.

Big brother, the places marked with rich products.

Especially that magical land.

It has become the place where everyone never forgets food and drink, and can't sleep at night.

The reason why everyone strongly requested to stay.

Striving to go to that magical continent is one of the reasons.

Because Li Xiaogong and his party had a steam engine, the speed of returning was not as fast as when they came.

This also prevented them from catching up with Chai Lingwu and Wu Zhao's convoy.

Outside Chang'an City, the north wind howled and snowflakes fluttered.

Chai Lingwu and Wu Zhao got off the carriage hand in hand.

Chang'an City is close in front of our eyes, and everyone has the feeling of feeling timid when they are close to the hometown.

What's more, when he returned to Chang'an City this time, Chai Lingwu not only brought back a beautiful wife, but also brought back a pair of children.

"Father, mother, is this Chang'an City?"

The two little guys poked their heads out of the carriage together.

Looking curiously, the majestic city wall in the distance.

"Well, this is Chang'an City, you two can meet Grandpa later."

Chai Lingwu looked back at the two children, his face full of fatherly love.

"Husband, spare some time, Wu Zhao wants to visit the manor in the south of the city."

"Well, I'll go with you when the time comes, and to be honest, I miss that place very much, too."

Samurai Xun and his wife also got out of the carriage hand in hand.

As for why he suddenly brought his family back to Chang'an City, the warrior Xun insisted that he felt that the end was approaching.

He didn't even tell his wife the real reason.

In the palace, in the Palace of Manna.

Chai Shao was playing mahjong with Li Shimin. As early as two months ago, Chai Shao had already learned from Wei Zheng that his son, his daughter-in-law, and a pair of children had returned to Chang'an City from Luntai City.

Chai Shao counted every day, the days when they returned to Chang'an City, but they were recently caught by Li Shimin as a poker friend.

Chai Shao could not tell Li Shimin in advance about Ling Wu's return to Chang'an City.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have betrayed Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have received news that Huo Guogong's son has arrived outside Chang'an City."

"Oh……"

When Li Shimin got excited, he stopped playing mahjong.

Huo Guogong's son is Li Shimin's nephew, his sister's own son.

"Jun Xian, do you mean that Ling Wu came back from Luntai City?"

Li Shimin was even more excited than Chai Shao.

Because Li Shimin felt that when Ling Wudu came back, Qingque and the others might be behind.

"Brother-in-law, hurry back and ask Ling Wu to come to the palace immediately. The queen and I are waiting for him in the Lizheng Hall."

"it is good……"

Chai Shao wanted to leave quickly.

Chai Shao got into the carriage, left the palace, and hurried back to Duke Huo's mansion, telling the housekeeper that he was ready to welcome the arrival of his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.

Chai Shao has already prepared gifts for his daughter-in-law and children.

The son and daughter-in-law got married, and he, the father, was not there. It was indeed a great pity in life.

Preparing an expensive gift can somewhat make up for this regret.

After Chai Shao left, Li Shimin immediately arranged for Li Junxian to continue to investigate outside the city. If there is a convoy of Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King, he will immediately return to report.

Li Junxian took the order respectfully and left, while Li Shimin went straight to the Lizheng Hall.

At this very moment, Empress Changsun was sitting by the fire, resting her chin on her hands, thinking of her children.

Nowadays, only Chengqian comes to Lizheng Hall to pay his respects every day.

In the past, the lively and cheerful scene of the Lizheng Palace has not been seen for a long time.

The mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles, not to mention that Luntai City is more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an City.

"Guanyin servant girl, you're back..."

Li Shimin naturally knew how much his queen missed the children.

"Erlang, are Qingque and the others back?"

Empress Changsun standing by the stove immediately stood up, her face full of maternal brilliance.

"Guanyin maidservant, I just got the news that Ling Wu and his family have returned. I thought our Qingque should be not far behind..."

"Jun Xian has been sent out by me, news will come soon!"

When Empress Changsun heard this, she immediately nodded with a smile.

Li Shimin tightly held Empress Changsun's hand, and the two sat by the fire, waiting anxiously in their hearts, waiting for Li Junxian to bring the news they wanted.

"Your Majesty, Empress, Mr. Chai is here."

At the entrance of the Lizheng Hall, the voice of the court lady Yuzhi sounded.

"Quick, let Ling Wu in!"

Li Shimin's voice was full of joy.

Chai Lingwu stepped into the Lizheng Hall, and Wu Zhao originally wanted to follow, but was dissuaded by the warrior Xun.

It is said that His Majesty is only calling to see Ling Wu, dissuading Wu Zhao from entering the palace with Ling Wu, and it will not be too late to enter the palace when His Majesty and the Empress see him.

"Ling Wu, see Uncle, see Aunt!"

"Ling Wu, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!"

Li Shimin stood up and looked at his nephew carefully.

"Not bad, not bad, compared to the last time my uncle saw you, your energy is much better."

"Come on, sit down next to uncle and aunt. Uncle and aunt have something to ask you."

"Um……"

Chai Lingwu was also polite, and sat directly opposite Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

"Ling Wu, why are you the only one who came back with your family? How are Qingque and the others?"

Chai Lingwu smiled and nodded when he heard the words, sure enough, everything was as the teacher guessed.

On the eve of returning to Chang'an City, the teacher's instructions to him were not in vain.

"Uncle, aunt. Ling Wu just took a step ahead!"

"My cousins ​​and cousins ​​are all very well. Their stubborn diseases have almost been cured, and during this period of time, cousins ​​and cousins ​​have been training hard with their teachers, and cousin Qingque's physical changes are the most obvious. "

"Now even uncle and aunt may not be able to recognize Cousin Qingque when they see him..."

Chai Lingwu's words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's eyes widen.

What is this nonsense?

How could they not know their own son?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Because Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King brought back a steam engine, the speed of the convoy is a bit slow..."

"Ling Wu's father-in-law is quite unwell. In desperation, Ling Wu can only speed up and return to Chang'an City first..."

When Li Shimin heard this, he was happy, so happy.

"Ling Wu, you mean, the two county kings brought me back the steam engine?"

"Well, I brought it back, and the railway that is being built now has already reached Tianmen Pass. According to this progress, it may take less than three years for the railway to reach Chang'an City!"

Chai Lingwu's words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun a little dizzy and dizzy from excitement.

"Ling Wu, take your time, the railway? Where is it?"

Li Shimin trembled a little when he spoke.

"Uncle, the last time you and your aunt went to Luntai City, didn't the teacher talk about the new type of transportation?"

"This railway was built for this new type of transportation. The teacher said frankly that the new type of transportation is called a train. On non-railway tracks, this train cannot run at all..."

"........."

Through Chai Lingwu's introduction, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun finally understood.

The train not only has to run on the rails, but also consumes an unimaginable amount of steel.

Thanks to the steel factory in Luntai City, otherwise, the steel production in Chang'an City would not be enough.

"Lingwu, Zhinu and Sizi, can any of you follow back to Chang'an City?"

Empress Changsun asked the question that Li Shimin also wanted to ask.

"Uncle, aunt..."

"Cousin Zhinu and cousin Sizi did not return to Chang'an City with them this time. Cousin is in good health. However, the teacher admitted frankly that Sizi's persistent illness is still not optimistic..."

"The master weighed the pros and cons, and decided to let Sizi continue to stay for treatment. If Sizi is left alone, Sizi will inevitably feel sad. It should be the best choice for the young slave to stay with her. After all, they Playing together and growing up..."

"Besides, Zhinu and Sizi are very good in their studies. Every time they take the exam, they are the No.1 in their respective classes. The teacher said frankly that if they take the imperial examination, they will both win the gold list, and even be the number one in high school..."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

As long as Sizi's stubborn illness can be completely cured, even if he stays for a few more years, it doesn't matter.

As for letting them take the imperial examination?
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun really haven't thought about it.

"Uncle, didn't you say that all affairs in the Western Regions are handled by the teacher alone?"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and asked.

"Ling Wu, after returning to Chang'an City this time, do you still plan to return to Luntai City?"

"If you go back to Uncle, Ling Wu doesn't plan to go back this time. His father also needs Ling Wu to take good care of him."

"For these years, Ling Wu was far away in Luntai City, unable to pay homage to his mother's grave, and Ling Wu felt very ashamed of his mother..."

"Although, nowadays, Ling Wu has a successful career and a happy family, but it's hard to cover up the guilt in his heart..."

There were tears in the corners of Chai Lingwu's eyes, which made Li Shimin's eyes turn red instantly.

After all, the mother Ling Wu mentioned was Li Shimin's sister, his own sister.

"Good, great good..."

"What a good boy, my sister is in the spirit of heaven, she will be very pleased..."

"Uncle, although he has already ignored state affairs and government affairs, but when Ling Wu comes back, uncle can't ignore it."

"Uncle will explain to your cousin Chengqian and properly arrange your official position."

Li Shimin reached out and squeezed Chai Lingwu's hand tightly.

Who can imagine the young talent in front of him.

More than ten years ago, he was still a playboy who was ignorant and had no business.

It was precisely because of the trouble in the Forgen Restaurant that his leg was broken.

Since then, the kid has completely changed. Volunteering to study at the No. [-] Scholar Academy completely changed him.

After all the calculations, this kid was a blessing in disguise.

Now Ling Wu's achievements are enough to make my sister's soul in heaven, moved and gratified!

At this moment, Li Junxian appeared at the gate of the Lizheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, Empress. The convoys of Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King have appeared outside Chang'an City..."

"Oh……"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stood up together.

"Uncle, aunt. Ling Wu has retired for the time being, and Ling Wu will come to visit uncle and aunt again some day."

"it is good……"

Li Shimin patted Chai Lingwu on the shoulder and nodded with a smile.

Watching Chai Lingwu leave the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin immediately ordered Li Junxian to prepare the emperor's car.

My children are all back.

As a father and mother, Li Shimin felt that he and the eldest grandson queen should go to greet the children.

The auspicious snow fell today, what a good day!

"Your Majesty, Empress, Your Royal Highnesses, it seems that they did not return to Chang'an City with the two county kings..."

When Li Junxian's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin, who was originally very happy, and the smiling Empress Changsun, were all stunned.

Li Shimin panicked!
"How is it possible? How could Qingque and the others not come back?"

"Just now, the Queen and I asked Ling Wu."

"Ling Wu said frankly that they have all returned..."

Li Shimin really turned his face faster than turning a book, and stared at Li Junxian with a livid face.

"Go there yourself and see if my princes have come back?"

"If you don't come back, let the two county kings give me and the queen an explanation..."

Li Junxian took the order respectfully and left, and soon disappeared on the Imperial Palace Avenue.
