Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 223 Li Chunfeng's final decision made Li Shimin unable to refuse...

In the northernmost part of the palace, in a quiet courtyard.

It is called a courtyard because no palace was built here.

Li Shimin led Li Chunfeng to set foot here.

Here, after Li Shimin's instigation, it was set as a forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace.

Ordinary people can't enter at all.

It was not the imperial guards guarding the door, but Baiqisi's spies.

It can be seen from this that Li Shimin regards this place as a forbidden place to store secret things.

"Open the door."

Li Shimin gave an order, and Baiqisi spied on him, and immediately agreed with a respectful salute.

Then he took out the key and opened the door.

Li Shimin led Li Chunfeng into the room.

"Chunfeng, this is the steam engine that King Hejian and King Jiangxia brought back from Luntai City today."

"I will bring you here today to have a look."

Li Chunfeng stared at the steam engine in front of him, his eyes widened.

After a long time, Li Chunfeng took a long breath and began to investigate carefully.

The more he watched, Li Chunfeng's body trembled more and more.

"Your Majesty, have the princes ever returned to Chang'an City?"

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard this.

I really didn't tell Li Chunfeng, Qingque and others just now that I really didn't return to Chang'an City.

"Chunfeng, none of my princes returned to Chang'an City. They insisted on staying in Luntai City and continuing to study with their eldest brother."

"Qingque said frankly in the letter that in order to go to that magical land, I brought back the sacred tree that would shed tears to the Tang Dynasty, because the role of the sacred tree was too important for the construction of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "

For Li Chunfeng, Li Shimin is still very relieved.

It's okay to tell him these secret things.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to let me go to Luntai City."

"Oh······"

After hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and then asked.

"Chunfeng, what is the purpose of this move?"

Li Chunfeng took a deep breath and spoke.

"Your Majesty, since all the princes are willing to work hard for this."

"Chunfeng has been favored by His Majesty for many years, and it is time to serve His Majesty."

"As His Majesty the King of Qin said, to go to that magical land, one needs to cross the vast sea. Your Majesty, you can save a lot of trouble by following the princes. Your ability to observe the sky is still very good. of."

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned and thought.

Li Shimin is naturally very clear about Li Chunfeng's abilities.

When he attacked Wang Shichong, Li Shimin listened to Li Chunfeng's advice.

With the help of celestial phenomena, defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

There are only a handful of people who know about this matter, but Li Shimin always remembers it in his heart.

One thing that is still fresh in Li Shimin's memory, it still seems like yesterday to Li Shimin.

It was not long after Li Shimin took the throne.

Li Shimin, who had just ascended to Dabao, was naturally very diligent.

One day when the sun was shining brightly, Li Shimin went to the Taishi Bureau to investigate, but found that Li Chunfeng was moving things outside.

So, Li Shimin asked the reason.

Li Chunfeng actually said that it was going to rain soon, and it was still heavy rain.

Li Shimin almost laughed out loud.

But just when Li Shimin was laughing and dancing.

The sunny day that was originally cloudless suddenly turned into a strong wind.

Soon, dark clouds covered the sky, and the whole world became like night.

When the bean-sized raindrops poured down, Li Shimin was dumbfounded on the spot.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin always treated Li Chunfeng courteously.

Li Shimin has always been very kind to those who are truly capable.

If Li Chunfeng was not too young at that time, Li Shimin would have been appointed as Taishiling directly.

"Chunfeng, what do you mean, go to that magical land?"

"Together with the princes, go to find the sacred tree that can shed tears? Then bring it back to Datang and dedicate it to me?"

After listening to Li Shimin's words.

Li Chunfeng said respectfully.

"Your Majesty is wise, my minister, that is exactly what I mean."

Li Shimin nodded happily.

It was really hard for Li Shimin to refuse Li Chunfeng's request.

"Good, great good..."

"Chunfeng can have such an intention, I am so relieved, I am so relieved..."

"It's just that I'm not sure whether my King Qin will let Chunfeng stay, and whether he will let Chunfeng follow my prince to that magical land."

Li Shimin's worries are also not unreasonable.

King Qin's temperament has always been one of unambiguous character.

Even if Li Shimin ordered Li Chunfeng to go to Luntai City, it would be difficult to guarantee the acceptance and trust of King Qin.

After all, my eldest son has never met Li Chunfeng, let alone have any intersection.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will naturally find a way to let His Royal Highness King Qin stay and accept me."

"Oh...why is Chunfeng so determined?"

Li Shimin immediately showed doubts when he heard Li Chunfeng's words.

"Your Majesty, I have never met His Highness the King of Qin, but Brother Tiangang has acquainted with His Highness the King of Qin several times."

"Brother Tiangang, at the end of his life, he said frankly that if there is a chance, let Chunfeng go and say sorry to His Royal Highness King Qin."

"Because of what happened in the manor back then..."

Li Shimin suddenly realized when he heard the words.

Yuan Tiangang was instructed by Li Shimin about the manor.

"Okay, since Chunfeng insists on going, insists on serving me and serving Datang, I agree."

"I, here is a handwritten letter..."

Li Shimin led Li Chunfeng back to the imperial study.

An eloquent letter from home was finished soon.

Li Chunfeng solemnly treasured the letter.

On the second day, early in the morning, Li Chunfeng left Chang'an City and embarked on the road to Luntai City alone.

No one in Chang'an city knew about it, and neither did all the officials.

However, Li Gen did not escape the eyes and ears of Qianqisi in Chang'an City.

The Taishi Ling of the Taishi Bureau left Chang'an City without warning, and Fei Ge sent a letter to His Royal Highness Qin Wang about this matter.

Tai Chi Palace, in the Hall of Xiande.

Prince Li Chengqian presided over the government as before.

The difference today is that Huo Guogong Chai Shao's son, Chai Lingwu, is back.

Chai Shao is Li Chengqian's uncle, and Chai Lingwu is Li Chengqian's cousin.

During Li Chengqian's treatment of foot disease in Luntai City.

It was Chai Lingwu who accompanied Li Chengqian every day.

Li Chengqian remembered this in his heart and would never forget it in his life.

According to his father's oral order, Li Chengqian appointed Chai Lingwu as the Minister of Zhongshu.

When Chai Lingwu set foot in Xiande Hall.

The happiest thing is the students of the Zhuangyuan Academy.

Their squad leader is back.

This is a strong signal.

Does it mean that their dean is coming back soon.

Chai Lingwu, smiling and beckoning to his former classmates.

The court is not a place for narrative.

What's more, I now have the status of Zhongshu's servant.

As for Wu Zhao's arrangement?

Li Chengqian also had some headaches.

Li Chengqian knew Wu Zhao's literary talent and had seen it with his own eyes.

Li Chengqian thought that the reason why the eldest brother sent Chai Lingwu and Wu Zhao back to Chang'an City must be to prepare for the future.

How could Li Chengqian have expected that, in fact, it happened for a reason.

Just when Li Chengqian was having a headache about Wu Zhao, after all, there had never been a female official in the Tang Dynasty.

Bo Wei Shuyu, the director of the Imperial College, came out of the class and opened his mouth to play.

"His Royal Highness, I think it is a good deed for Chai Lingwu and Wu Zhao to return to Chang'an City."

"Wu Zhao, as the eldest disciple of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, needless to say his literary talent, and his teaching level in Luntai City College is also highly praised by His Highness King Qin."

"In view of this, I believe that the pearl should not be dusted."

"I suggest that a women's college be set up in Chang'an City, with the empress as the honorary dean and Wu Zhao as the dean, recruiting all civil and military officials in Chang'an City, and the daughters of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Anyone who is waiting for a boudoir can enroll. Let’s start recruiting women from ordinary families…”

I have to say that Wei Shuyu's move is really wonderful.

It was simply wonderful.

Originally, when Wei Shuyu opened his mouth and said that a women's college would be held.

Many old ministers are ready to go out to refute.

Just because Wei Shuyu frankly let the queen empress serve as the honorary dean, these people had to wait a little longer to see what else Wei Shuyu had in mind.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shuyu's next words made them cancel the thought of refuting in an instant.

Every family has daughters.

Moreover, women's colleges are first opened to women from civil and military officials.

Based on this point, everyone has no reason to come out and refute.

Otherwise, Wei Shuyu is not the only one who offends.

I am afraid that he will be an enemy of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded with a smile.

From the expressions of civil and military officials, Li Chengqian has already noticed the feasibility of this matter.

After supervising the country for so long, Li Chengqian's ability to observe words and deeds has greatly improved.

"My lords, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian looked around the court hall, his face was full of joy.

"His Royal Highness, I think this is feasible, and it is a good deed that benefits the country, the people, and the community."

The prime minister, Ma Zhou, was the first to leave the class and spoke.

"Minister, I think this is feasible."

All the officials came out of class to salute and said.

"Good, great good..."

"Since there is no objection from all the ministers, this matter is settled like this. I will trouble the two prime ministers to worry about the position of the Women's College."

When Li Chengqian's words fell to the ground, Ma Zhou and Cen Wenwen all saluted and agreed.

After coming down to court, Li Chengqian headed for the Lizheng Hall in high spirits.

"Royal father, queen mother. Wei Shuyu announced today that a women's academy will be established in Chang'an City."

"It is suggested that the mother's successor be the honorary dean, Wu Zhao as the dean, recruit all civil and military officials and high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and treat her as a woman in her boudoir."

"Unexpectedly, all the officials agreed unanimously."

"My son, Ma Zhou and Cen Wenwen have been ordered to choose a location for the women's college."

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Empress Changsun nodded with a smile.

Li Shimin thought of what Chai Lingwu said yesterday, and always felt that all this was planned in advance by his elder brother.

Alas, just let him torment.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin agreed with Longyan Dayue.

Wu Zhao was the happiest about this matter.

Chai Lingwu returned to the mansion and informed Wu Zhao of the matter.

Wu Zhao was so happy that his eyes were full of smiles.

"Wu Zhao, these are the meaning of the teacher."

"Well, Wu Zhao naturally knows, I want to visit Sister Changle today, my husband and Wu Zhao should go together."

"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to see Yi Ai."

The couple got into the carriage and went straight to Fangfu.

The arrival of Chai Lingwu and Wu Zhao made Fang Yiai and Princess Changle very happy.

"Xinyue, this is Aunt Wu Zhao, does Xinyue still remember?"

The little girl shook her head vigorously.

At that time, she didn't remember anything, so naturally she wouldn't remember Wu Zhao.

"Mother, although Xinyue doesn't remember, Xinyue often hears her mother mentioning Aunt Wu Zhao. Mother said frankly that Aunt Wu Zhao is the best sister in her life."

Xiao Xinyue's words made Fangfu burst into laughter in an instant.

This little girl is a pistachio, she can bring happiness to people wherever she goes.

Even now that Changle and Fang Yiai have a son, their love for Xiao Xinyue has not diminished at all.

Wei Shuyu naturally passed on the affairs of the court to Li Gen through Feige.

It is still his father Wei Zheng who is in charge of Feige's transmission of letters.

······
Luntai City, inside the Governor's Mansion.

Li Gen received successive letters from Feige from Chang'an City.

The establishment of a women's college has been settled, which makes Li Gen very satisfied and gratified.

Li Chunfeng actually left Chang'an City, and he left alone.

Li Gen Feige passed the letter to his father-in-law, but his father-in-law didn't even know about it.

This made Li Gen have to think about one thing.

Could it be that Li Chunfeng came to Luntai City?

Li Gen is too familiar with Li Chunfeng.

This is a rare genius.

Chinese history has left a strong legendary figure.

Not for anything else, just because he is the originator of meteorology.

To be remembered all over the world.

The more Li Gen thought about it, the more he felt that he really might have come to Luntai City.

Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai are now guest teachers in the academy.

Li Gen had no choice but to ask Zhao Si and Feng Wu to meet Li Chunfeng.

Zhao Si picks up Ji Xiang and Ru Yi, as well as Zhi Nu and Si Zi to and from school every day.

Li Gen sent Feng Wuce horse to meet Li Chunfeng.

Tell Feng Wu to treat Li Chunfeng with courtesy.

After Feng Wu left, Li Gen had a smile on his face.

If so, Li Chunfeng really came to Luntai City.

Your own plan can really be greatly advanced.

With an ancient genius who observed astronomical phenomena, Li Gen was even more confident that the fleet would safely cross the vast sea.

After all, it was his younger brothers who went there, and Li Gen naturally didn't want any accidents to happen to them.

A month later.

Li Gen received Feng Wu's letter from Feige.

Open it up and take a look.

Li Gen immediately waved his fist happily.

yeah!
It is true that Li Chunfeng is coming to Luntai City.

When Li Chunfeng learned that His Royal Highness King Qin sent Feng Wu to meet him, he trembled with excitement on the spot.

Li Gen looked at Feng Wu's Flying Pigeon Passing Letter, with a bright smile on his face.

I finally want someone who is really familiar with the astronomical phenomenon.

Along the way, Li Chunfeng looked at the railway tracks being laid, with a shocked expression that could not be expressed in words.

Li Chunfeng asked Feng Wu, but Feng Wu knew little about railways and trains.

Li Chunfeng simply dropped his luggage.

He didn't even need the carriage, he rode on a fine horse, and traveled day and night with Feng Wu to Luntai City.

This year's spring in Luntai City came earlier than ever before.

It also made Li Gen deeply understand a truth.

Climate change is impermanent, so it has existed since ancient times.

Although later generations have experienced a sudden increase in extreme climate due to various man-made reasons.

This is the first time Li Gen has encountered such an early spring in Luntai City after living in Luntai City.

Sizi, Jixiang, Ruyi and the others took off their padded clothes early on, and began to change into fresh spring clothes.

Just in this spring, in this season of recovery of all things.

Li Chunfeng followed Feng Wu and rode his horse to the outside of Luntai City.

In history, Li Chunfeng, who had never set foot in the Western Regions, changed because of one person.

In fact, because of the appearance of this person, it is not only Li Chunfeng who has changed.

Luntai City was far away, and Li Chunfeng's mood also became excited.

Unlike others, he pays attention to observing the urban landscape of Luntai City.

Li Chunfeng first looked at the station in the west of the city.

Today's Luntai West Station has been completely completed.

Although there is no waiting hall like later generations, Li Gen still made the world's first railway station look like a real station.

"Tai Shiling, the place you are looking at will be the starting and ending point of the train in the future."

Li Chunfeng nodded vigorously when he heard Feng Wu's words.

"Only a sage like His Royal Highness King Qin can publish this thing more than a thousand years in advance."

Feng Wu was shocked when he heard this.

saint?

This is His Majesty's exclusive title.

"Tai Shiling, there are no outsiders here, so you must not speak nonsense."

Before Feng Wu found out the real purpose of Li Chunfeng's trip, he naturally wanted to remind him, saint?It can't be called casually.

Otherwise, His Royal Highness King Qin might have the intention of rebelling.

"Don't get me wrong, the saint I'm talking about is the kind of real saint who is extraordinary and refined."

"Back in the day, when the water in the Yellow River was clear, the saint was here. I and Yuan Tiangang had already expected that the saint would be His Highness the King of Qin."

"Nevertheless, His Majesty has misunderstood the original intention. As ministers, I and Yuan Tiangang naturally have nothing to say."

"Facts have proved that the speculation of this official and Yuan Tiangang was very correct."

"Yuan Tiangang's last words also proved this point."

"The great fortune of the country, the great fortune of China, with the birth of a saint like King Qin, the Huaxia clan will shine on the entire continent, and it is just around the corner."

Li Chunfeng's eyes were firm at this time, and his tone was even more forceful.

"Your Highness, Feng Wu has led Li Chunfeng to the outside of Luntai City."

After listening to the report from the general who defended Luntai City.

Li Gen immediately nodded with a smile, got on the king's car, and went straight to the south of Luntai City.

A genius like Li Chunfeng is completely worthy of going out of the city to greet him in person.

"Tai Shiling, that is His Royal Highness King Qin's car. His Highness has come to greet you in person."

"It's too big, too big, how can Chunfeng have such a virtue, he can even alarm His Highness King Qin to greet him in person."

Having said that, Li Chunfeng's face was full of excitement.

From this point of view, His Majesty's worries are completely superfluous.

This time, I will definitely be kept in Luntai City by His Royal Highness King Qin.

"Taishi Bureau Taishi Order Li Chunfeng, please refer to His Royal Highness King Qin."

At the south gate of Luntai City, Li Gen, dressed in a king's suit, stands facing the wind against a jade tree.
