Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 236 It's hard to lock in the new spring in the cold weather, it's better to cook white jade balls in the stove

Li Shimin tiptoed towards the study.

That appearance and posture, like a thief.

When he reached the window, Li Shimin stopped, approached the window, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully.

Because the voice in the study room is already clearly distinguishable.

"Chunfeng, do you understand the structural diagram of this cruise ship?"

"Returning to His Highness, I have already kept it in mind."

It was the crown prince who asked the question, and Li Chunfeng who answered the question.

Li Shimin's ears were pressed tightly against the wall.

A schematic of a cruise ship?

The prince has always been by my side, and the east coast is also before the Zhengyuan Festival, a [-]-ton cruise ship suddenly appeared.

Although, the prince told himself that he had prepared the tools for going to sea, and he also mentioned the [-]-ton cruise ship.

However, this structural diagram?

And who gave it to him?

Could it be that this is from the handwriting of the immortal master?

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

The more confident he is, the older he is, he must have an inseparable relationship with the immortal master.

Otherwise, artillery, trains, grenades, land mines, flintlock guns and other objects cannot be explained at all.

Yuan Tiangang's suicide note is right.

His Royal Highness King Qin is absolutely extraordinary.

Li Shimin also knows that his big son is absolutely extraordinary.

Now what Li Shimin wants to know most is, is there really a fairy teacher?
After all, seeing that his father was getting older and Li Shimin was already in middle age, Li Shimin's desire for longevity had never been more urgent than Li Shimin's.

Right now, Li Shimin's body is not as good as before.

In the past, I could patronize several harem concubines overnight.

Now Li Shimin can patronize one in a few nights.

They are also tough on the scalp.

The bitterness in it can only be experienced by the person involved.

"Xuance, Junmai... the glazed balls prepared by the two of you, are you ready?"

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes were full of doubts.

Going to that magical land, why do you want a glazed ball?

"If you go back to Your Highness, the glazed balls are ready, and there are as many as five large carriages."

Hearing Wang Xuance's and Xi Junmai's answers, Li Shimin quickly held his breath, to see if his big boy would tell about the magical effect of the glazed ball.

Sure enough, Li Shimin was not disappointed, and Li Gen's voice came over.

"Okay, five horse-drawn carriages are enough. Remember, when you get there, don't conflict with the local natives."

"First use the glass ball to replace other spices such as gold with them."

"A glazed ball can be exchanged for a piece of gold..."

Li Shimin's heart was pounding when he heard this.

Now in Datang, colored glaze is no longer a scarce and in-demand material.

Even Luoyang, Yangzhou and other places have large-scale Liulichang.

However, my dear son actually wants to exchange a glazed ball for a piece of gold.

"By the way, on this trip, the main responsibility of Xuan Ce and Junmai is to protect Jixiang, Ruyi and Chang'an, as well as Shuwan, Shulin and Shuli."

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

That brat actually sent Jixiang Ruyi and Chang'an to that magical land without telling the truth to his father, and also the three sons of the Wei Mansion.

It seems that this magical place is indeed magical enough.

"Where the jungle is dense, some jungles have been hundreds of millions of years old. Those places must not go deep. It is best to let the local aborigines lead the way to some safe places."

"This trip is the first time you have explored that land, and everything is about safety."

"Your Majesty, please remember His Royal Highness' instructions."

In the study, Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.

"Qingque, the rubber tree is the top priority."

"In addition, there are sunflowers, corn, coffee beans, and other species, which must also be brought back."

"This is a list of must-see species, and my brother has mapped out its appearance and characteristics."

"Qingque, this is the map of that land. The distribution of these species has been marked by my brother."

"This time, although there are guards accompanying us, we also have weapons such as flintlock guns and grenades. If we can avoid conflicts with the local aborigines, try not to conflict with them."

"In the future, there will be many places where they can be used."

"If you want to incorporate that piece of land into my Tang territory, you must map it slowly."

Li Shimin outside the window stared wide-eyed.

My big son is really a fierce group.

If such a large continent belongs to Datang?
Wow haha.

Li Shimin was so excited that he almost laughed out loud.

"Zhao Si, Feng Wu, you two are in charge of sailing the boat. You two have almost learned the precautions given by the Japanese Palace in the past few days."

"One during the day and one at night. Make sure to rush to that land quickly after sending the eldest grandson's family to the south coast."

"Along the way, Bengong also explained clearly the places where fresh water and food are replenished."

"Don't cut off fresh water and food."

Zhao Si and Feng Wu naturally agreed.

"Chunfeng, along the way, take good notes, where you are friendly to us, and where you covet my treasure ship's property, you must record them one by one."

"Those who are friendly to us will have great benefits in the future, and those who covet my Tang Dynasty treasure ship will surely make them regret it in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

This kid's temperament is really similar to that of Lao Tzu.

It belongs to the type that must be reported for flaws.

"Brother, do you really decide to let Ji Xiang, Ru Yi and Chang An go together?"

"Qingque is worried that there will be danger along the way."

When Li Tai's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin outside the window began to listen carefully.

Qingque is good, and asked the question in the heart of the father.

In his heart, Li Shimin gave Li Tai a thumbs up.

"Qingque, don't worry, the navigation route map has been handed over to Chunfeng."

"There is a guide on the cruise ship. As long as you follow the navigation route, you will definitely reach your destination smoothly."

"You are all the closest and most trusted people of this palace, and this palace will never let you take risks..."

Li Shimin outside the window nodded.

It seems that this trip is absolutely safe, and I can also comfort Guanyin's servant girl, so I don't have to worry about Qingque and the others.

"Brother, Qing Que has another question. If everything goes well on this trip, do you want to go to the opposite side of the continent to have a look?"

"Qingque remembers that elder brother told us that the continent opposite is also rich in products and rich in land and resources."

Li Shimin's words provoked Li Shimin, and he held his breath again.

Qing Que is not a bad guy either, he has already looked into the pot before he started eating from the bowl.

Sure enough, they are my Li Shimin's seeds, all of them are fucking ambitious.

Let's listen to how my dear son will answer.

"Qingque, Northern Continent, I have to go sooner or later, don't worry right now."

"We only have one cruise ship, and we can't become fat if we eat one bite. The supplies from the Southern Continent will be dumped first."

"When we have enough treasure ships and enough soldiers, Big Brother will naturally consider that continent."

"At present, they already have many tribes. If you land on the coastline, once you arouse hostility and startle the enemy, it will be harmful to the future."

Li Shimin outside the window nodded deeply.

He is still his own big brother, who is thoughtful and far-sighted.

Qingque is still too immature.

"Brother, Qingque has one last question."

"This incident makes Qingque not enjoying the food and tea, and can't sleep at night."

"Oh, what's the problem? It's so serious?"

Li Gen asked with a smile.

"Brother, Qingque would like to know, how did the [-]-ton cruise ship on the east coast come about?"

When Li Shimin outside the window heard the words, his eyebrows and beard jumped together.

Those who know me, Qingque also!
It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't know how to double-click to yo.

I can only praise Qingque crazily in my heart.

This trip to the East Palace was indeed not in vain.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and waited for the answer that he urgently wanted to hear from the study.

If it is possible to solve the doubts for many years today, Li Shimin decided to give Qingque a good reward.

In the study, Li Gen heard what Li Tai said, and turned to look at Li Chunfeng.

"Chunfeng, why don't you come and answer Wei Wang's doubts on my behalf."

Hey!
Li Shimin outside the window was a little unhappy.

Qingque was obviously asking you, why did you ask Li Chunfeng to answer?

However, Li Shimin quickly got the answer, and stood on the spot instantly.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, it's better not to ask, there are some things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can agree on."

"The heavenly secrets must not be leaked. Back then, Yuan Tiangang drove west of Hexi early because of leaking the heavenly secrets several times..."

"His Royal Highness King Wei, there are some things that cannot be said, otherwise, big things will happen."

"Speaking lightly, it may endanger a person's life. If it is serious, it may destroy a dynasty..."

Li Chunfeng's voice fell to the ground.

In the study, Li Tai's complexion changed drastically.

Li Shimin outside the window, if he hadn't been holding on to the wall, he would have staggered and lost his footing.

hiss!
Horror!
Li Tai didn't dare to ask anymore, Li Shimin naturally dispelled the idea of ​​asking the bottom line in an instant.

What it means to destroy a dynasty, Li Shimin, as the leader of Datang, naturally knows very well.

"Brother, Qing Que knows it's wrong, and from now on, I won't ask these questions again."

Li Tai calmed down, and said very frightenedly.

"Qing Que, everyone has curiosity. You still don't understand why curiosity killed cats. If you have time, Big Brother will talk to you carefully."

"If you really have reached the point where you don't enjoy eating and drinking, and you can't sleep at night."

"Let's just treat it as a visitor from outside the sky. To the outside world, it's called auspiciousness from heaven. Brother, that's all I can say."

Visitors from space!

It really is an alien!
Li Shimin never expected that the fishermen on the east coast actually guessed the truth.

The excited Li Shimin had a beating heart.

Hastily left the East Palace.

"Guanyin maidservant, Guanyin maidservant..."

Li Shimin stepped into the Lizheng Hall in a hurry, his sweaty appearance made Empress Changsun very surprised.

"Erlang, what happened? Why are you sweating all over your head?"

Empress Changsun took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from Li Shimin's forehead.

"Guanyin maidservant, just now I went to the East Palace, quietly..."

Li Shimin told his beloved woman all the words he had just overheard.

"It seems that it is really an alien."

"In this way, it is not difficult to explain why Gen'er has so many ingenious skills."

"Erlang, my concubine thinks that Gen'er must be valued by the aliens, so let him come to benefit and protect the Great Tang."

It has to be said that Empress Changsun's analysis coincided with Li Shimin's, which also made Li Shimin laugh from ear to ear.

"What Guanyin's servant said is very reasonable. I will bring up this matter again in the future. The secret must not be leaked."

"If it is light, it will endanger the life of an individual, if it is serious, it will destroy the entire dynasty."

Li Shimin carried over Li Chunfeng's words intact.

Empress Changsun immediately covered her mouth after provoking it.

"Okay, don't say it, I won't say it in the future."

"Erlang, since the Crown Prince is so relieved, he asked Jixiang Ruyi to go with Chang'an, and the concubine also wants to go and have a look."

"Ah...this..."

Why didn't Li Shimin want to go to that magical place to take a look.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to bring a few carts of glazed balls in exchange for countless gold, and the sense of accomplishment is overwhelming.

"Guanyin maidservant, since this is the case, if I go with you, it can be regarded as seeing off my brother and the others."

Li Shimin's words made Empress Changsun smile like a flower.

At lunch that day, Li Shimin told Li Gen that he and Empress Changsun wanted to go to that magical land with Qing Que.

Li Gen's head shook like a rattle.

"Royal father and queen mother, it's not that my ministers won't let you go. In this season, it's really not good for royal father and queen mother's dragon and phoenix bodies."

"Now, winter has not yet passed, the sea is very windy, the waves are heavy, and the humidity is heavy, and the journey is long, at least forty days."

"If the father and mother are not safe on the treasure ship, the body of the dragon and the body of the phoenix will be bad."

"Father, mother, there will be opportunities in the future. After Li Chunfeng has completely opened up the route, it will not be too late to go."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun could only nod helplessly when they heard the words.

On the second day, during the morning court.

The messenger soldiers brought the letter to the outside of Xiande Hall.

Guards, submit the letter.

Li Gen opened it and handed it to Prime Minister Ma Zhou with a smile.

"My lords, the east coast is blessed with auspiciousness. It looks like a huge treasure ship. This is an auspicious omen."

Ma Zhou took the letter and read it, and immediately understood what His Royal Highness said.

The content of the letter has been slightly changed.

Then read the ministers to listen.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness."

"Heaven's auspicious, God bless the Tang Dynasty."

The sound of the Xiande Hall, reverberating around the beams, also made Li Gen smile very brightly on his face.

With this incident, in the future, any strange and weird things can be covered up with heavenly auspiciousness.

Save yourself a lot of saliva, the problem is that there are some things that really cannot be explained.

Even if he said it frankly, no one would believe it was true.

The Shangyuan Festival is the first festival of the most important Sanyuan Festival in the Tang Dynasty.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is Shangyuan, the fifteenth day of July is Zhongyuan, and the fifteenth day of October is Xiayuan.

On this day, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun wore dragon robes and phoenix robes and led the prince and princess.

Lead civil and military officials to participate in grand sacrificial activities.

The Shangyuan Festival is a festival of blessings.

Everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, gongs and drums shook the sky everywhere.

At night, the people will write their wishes on the river lanterns, and then they will be exiled in the river.

Therefore, folks also talked about the Lantern Festival, so that later it became the Lantern Festival.

Poems as proof:

Celebrate Shangyuan everywhere in urban and rural areas,
Fireworks and lights express joy.

It's hard to lock up the new spring in the cold weather,
It is advisable to cook white jade balls when the stove is warm.

The Baiyu Wan here is actually the oldest Lantern Festival.

The city of Chang'an this night is particularly beautiful.

Fire trees and silver flowers are everywhere, and fireworks are blooming.

Li Gen and the Crown Princess, with their five children, watched the fireworks at Zhuque Gate together before returning to the East Palace.

For the five children's long trip, Li Gen naturally did it on purpose.

Ji Xiang and Ru Yi have grown up.

When I was their age, I went to the Western Regions alone.

This trip, which lasted no more than half a year at most, was a great test for them.

Only by leaving the shelter of their parents can they let them experience and taste the taste of growing up.

Moreover, that magical land is an unknown land to them.

Going there will not only broaden their horizons and hone their will, but also finally know that this world is far bigger and more magical than they imagined.

The frog at the bottom of the well will always see the sky only a little bit bigger than the bottom of the well.

Li Gen hopes that his children, through this trip, will broaden their horizons and at the same time have a heart that can accommodate heaven and earth.

Because they are different from other children.

Should shoulder more important responsibilities!
