Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 243 Good guy, I like this thing...

Li Junxian, the commander of Baiqi Division, was instructed by Li Shimin!

Leaving the Lizheng Palace, he immediately got on his horse.

Straight out of the city overnight!

Li Junxian had just left Chang'an City.

Cheng Chumo appeared in the East Palace.

Today's Cheng Chumo is definitely above the court, the red turns purple, the purple turns black, and the black shines.

Cheng Chumo's current status is a bit more powerful than Cheng Yaojin's back then.

"Your Highness, report to [-] that Li Junxian left the city overnight. Judging by his posture, he is heading straight to the east."

Hearing this, Li Gen nodded with a smile, and said.

"It doesn't matter, I must have gone to the east coast, not only to welcome the blue bird, but also to see the cruise ship on the east coast with my own eyes."

"It's good for him to see it with his own eyes, but the emperor's father has always been thinking about it and has some doubts."

Cheng Chumo heard the words, nodded and spoke.

"Your Highness, when will His Majesty abdicate to the virtuous?"

"Brother Chu Mo, I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

"Chengqian has been the crown prince for more than ten years, and it's not that there is no news. This palace is only half a year. According to the emperor's temperament, unless he is really dying..."

"Ah...this..."

Cheng Chumo stared at each other, as if he was carved out of the same mold as Cheng Yaojin.

"Your Highness, at the moment, it seems that we all have a bright future."

"Why do I feel that I haven't lived a comfortable life in Luntai City yet?"

Cheng Chumo's words made Li Gen stare at him severely.

Cheng Chumo was so frightened that he shrank his neck back.

Although Cheng Chumo is very courageous, there are two most terrifying people in this world, one is his father Cheng Yaojin, and the other is His Highness the Crown Prince.

"You boy, if you want to live a comfortable life and want to return to Luntai City, I can help you."

When Li Gen's words fell, Cheng Chumo immediately had a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, I just said it casually, you just pretend that I farted just now, and let him go with the wind..."

When Cheng Chumo's words fell to the ground, Li Gen was successfully amused.

"It's such a big person, An Sheng has grown up, and you still haven't been in shape all day long."

"Brother Chu Mo, right now is not the time to be greedy for comfort. There are many things that I need the help of my brothers."

"How many troops have been dispatched to build the railway?"

When Cheng Chumo heard about the construction of the railway, he immediately started to get serious.

"Returning to Your Highness, according to your intention, one hundred thousand troops will help build the railway from Chang'an City to Handan City, and another hundred thousand troops will build the railway from Chang'an City to Luoyang City."

"According to the report of the messenger, the construction progress is very fast. According to the current progress, as long as the rail supply is available, it should be completed by the end of next year."

Hearing this, Li Gen smiled and nodded.

"After tomorrow morning, tell Du He that Yiai, Baolin, Huaidao and Shuyu are here to stay."

"There are some things that I want to tell you kindly."

On the second day, after the early morning.

Li Gen left behind six ministers. As for Sun Simiao, minister of medicine, there was no need to go to court if there was no special matter.

After all, Sun Simiao is currently sitting at Datang Medical College, and is working hard to inherit the medical career of Datang.

Given that there are two 20-ton and two [-]-ton cruise ships.

Li Gen decided to start his plan to conquer the southern continent after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Gen said what was in his heart.

Du He, Fang Yiai, Yuchi Baolin, Qin Huaidao, and Wei Shuyu all had expressions of excitement on their faces.

Because Cheng Chumo had already learned about this matter yesterday, he seemed quite calm.

Shangyuan Festival, after the sacrificial ceremony.

Li Gen began to wait quietly for the news of Qingque and his party.

The distance from Chang'an City to the east coast is not much different from Chang'an City to Luntai City.

Li Gen knew that Qing Que and the others would definitely hurry back.

Besides, Li Junxian straddles a thousand-mile horse.

Along the way, sparks and lightning went straight to the east coast of Datang.

Seeing His Royal Highness King Wei and his party from a distance, Li Junxian immediately hid himself.

After Wei Wang Li Tai passed the official road, Li Junxian just stepped on his horse and headed straight to the east coast.

Datang East Coast.

Li Junxian looked at the five behemoths and covered his heart with both hands.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could Li Junxian believe that all this would be true.

Five behemoths, one bigger than the other.

An alien, indeed an alien.

In this world, no one can make this thing.

To make sure it's true.

Li Junxian, all the way on the east coast to find out what the people say.

Like the rumors that spread to Chang'an City, the alien ship indeed appeared overnight.

And the four even bigger extraterrestrial visitors also landed on the east coast overnight.

The people are no longer panicking.

Both the state shepherd and the county magistrate have explained that this is auspiciousness from heaven.

Just a month ago, the people were still helping to unload the goods.

Li Junxian also confirmed one thing.

Those four alien ships suddenly appeared on the second morning after unloading their cargo.

Even His Royal Highness King Wei has never seen it.

With many doubts and puzzles.

Li Junxian stepped on his horse and headed straight for Chang'an City.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Wei and his party traveled day and night.

This made Li Junxian very hard to catch up all the way.

Finally, on a rainy night with heavy rain and misty rain.

Taking advantage of the rainy night, Li Junxian surpassed Wei Wang Li Tai and his party.

On the second day, after the rain, the sky cleared.

Li Junxian turned his horse's head and headed east.

Soon, he met Li Tai and his party on the pipeline.

Li Junxian dismounted from his horse, and immediately greeted him respectfully.

"My subordinates refer to His Royal Highness King Wei, His Royal Highness King Han, His Royal Highness King Qi..."

Facing Jixiang, Ruyi and Chang'an, Li Junxian naturally also had to meet the county king and princess.

"Commander Li, but father and elder brother asked you to come and greet me."

Li Tai got off his horse and said with a smile.

"Returning to His Royal Highness King Wei, His Majesty heard what His Highness the Crown Prince said, and several His Royal Highnesses, the County King and the County Lord have returned."

"And brought back many magical species."

"Your Majesty and Empress, after reading His Royal Highness King Wei's handwriting, the joy is beyond words, and I specially asked my subordinates to welcome your Highnesses and the county king, the princess..."

Li Junxian is worthy of being the celebrity around Li Shimin, his eloquence, quick response, and flexible mind are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Li Junxian's words made Li Tai and the others smile.

Although this journey is full of harvest, although this journey is full of surprises.

However, along the way, everyone also suffered a lot.

Everyone has shed at least one layer of skin from the sun.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, and His Highness the Crown Prince, are concerned about the safety of your Highnesses, the county king and the princess."

"My subordinates are relieved to see that your highnesses, the county king and the princess are safe."

Li Junxian saw that Zhao Si and Feng Wu had a sack on their horses.

Li Junxian thought about it with his toes, and knew that the two sacks contained absolutely nothing ordinary.

As smart as Li Tai, he naturally saw Li Junxian, with a pair of eyes, he went straight to the sacks on Zhao Si and Feng Wu's horses and kept looking.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Tai understood the reason.

It seems that the father and mother, seeing their handwriting, were attracted by those magical species.

Li Junxian came here not only to replace his father and mother, but also to investigate the safety of their party, perhaps he also had other intentions.

Thinking of this, Li Tai said with a smile.

"Zhao Si, Feng Wu..."

"Bring some corn and sunflowers to Commander Li."

When Zhao Si and Feng Wu heard the words, they immediately agreed respectfully.

"Commander Li, the mount under your crotch is a thousand-mile horse that is unique in thousands."

"Send these species to the emperor and queen as soon as possible."

Li Junxian carefully treasured the corn and sunflowers.

"Your Highness, your subordinates must return to Chang'an City as soon as possible, and personally deliver the species brought back by His Highness to His Majesty and the Empress."

"Your Highness, before your departure, I heard His Majesty say that His Highness the Crown Prince said frankly that there are two 20-ton and two [-]-ton cruise ships on the east coast..."

Li Junxian said in a low voice in front of Li Tai.

Li Tai's complexion changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Commander Li, I have never seen the 20-ton cruise ship and the [-]-ton cruise ship. However, since the eldest brother said it, it must be correct."

20 tons and [-] tons!
Li Tai's little heart was pounding with excitement.

A [-]-ton cruise ship can cross the sea and bring back so much cargo.

The load capacity of 20-ton and [-]-ton cruise ships is unimaginable.

If there are five cruise ships, set off together.

That scene absolutely shocked everyone passing by.

call!
Li Tai let out a long breath of excitement.

Big brother, my good big brother.

Qingque originally planned to try her best to catch up with her elder brother.

From the looks of it now, even if Qing Que exerted all her strength, it would be hard to come by.

Since you can't catch up, you have to follow.

Li Junxian, from Li Tai's expression, was sure what His Royal Highness King Wei said was true.

It seems that the four huge cruise ships did not appear on the east coast until His Royal Highness King Wei and his party left.

Li Junxian respectfully bid farewell.

He got on his horse and headed straight for Chang'an City.

······
Tai Chi Palace, Lizheng Hall.

The current Tai Chi Palace is no longer the previous Tai Chi Palace.

Because Datang's national power is strong and the treasury is abundant.

As early as when Li Gen was in charge of the Western Regions.

The Tai Chi Palace has been completely renovated.

It is far more magnificent than the Daming Palace recorded in later generations.

The return of Li Junxian made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun very happy.

The two looked at the golden corn kernels, their eyes widened.

No wonder Qingque would call it a golden grain.

This golden-yellow species is really like gold.

Li Shimin grabbed a handful of corn kernels, and together with Empress Changsun, began to investigate carefully.

The eyes of the two were fiery, and they had to admire the magic of the creator.

Compared to the golden corn kernels, the jet-black sunflower seeds were directly ignored by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Properly judge a person by its appearance!

There is no way, if you want to blame, you can only blame the sunflower seeds for being untimely.

Appearing in the Lizheng Palace together with the golden corn kernels, the sunflower seeds have already lost as soon as they start.

Gold is a symbol of royalty.

How can the pitch-black sunflower seeds be compared with the golden corn kernels.

"Avalokitesvara, such a species, returns to my Tang land, which is the so-called destiny."

Empress Changsun smiled when she heard this.

"Erlang, my concubine thinks, don't underestimate that jet-black species."

Only then did Li Shimin focus his attention on those jet-black sunflower seeds.

"What the hell is this?"

"It was never mentioned in Qingque's letter."

"Since Qingque can quickly return to Chang'an City, and carry this object, treating it as the same as gold grains, it is worth a lot of money."

Li Shimin, who wanted to understand, immediately sent someone to invite the prince.

Li Gen knew about Li Junxian before he returned to Chang'an City.

Li Junxian met Li Tai and his party on the official road.

And brought back corn and sunflower seeds.

Now Li Gen's intelligence system is far superior to Li Shimin's Baiqisi.

Li Shimin and Li Junxian were naturally unaware of all this.

It can be seen from this that Li Gen's Qianqisi spy did fulfill Li Gen's requirements and original intention of setting up this organization.

Li Gen strolled into the Lizheng Hall.

"The sons and ministers refer to the emperor father, and the queen mother..."

The proper etiquette is essential.

The reason why the Chinese nation has been known as the state of etiquette since ancient times.

It's not empty talk and self-proclaimed.

A long tradition and cultural heritage.

Only then has the great history of a great nation been created.

"Gen'er, there is no need to be polite."

"Come, come and have a look, this is the gold grain and this unknown species that the father sent Li Junxian to get from Qingque."

Li Gen smiled and nodded.

"Oh, Commander Li has seen Qingque and the others. How far is Qingque and his party from Chang'an City?"

"Father has just asked Li Junxian carefully. Qingque and his party are also galloping. In half a month, they should be able to reach Chang'an City."

"On the other hand, the fleet of more than two hundred cars may take some time."

Li Gen walked to the table and saw the golden corn kernels, the smile on his face became brighter.

And that was regarded as a pitch-black species by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

But he was the first to be pinched by Li Gen.

I saw Li Gen put a sunflower seed in his mouth.

Very skillful, he cracked it with his teeth.

The white melon seeds inside are full of grains, which makes Li Gen close his eyes and savor it.

Raw melon seeds are too oily, and after frying, they will be even more delicious.

"Gen'er, can this thing be eaten raw?"

Seeing the expression of enjoyment on Li Gen's face, Li Shimin couldn't hold back, wishing he could take a few pills right away.

"Father, don't worry, these sunflower seeds will have a taste after being fried."

Li Shimin realized instantly when he heard the words.

"Gen'er, are these sunflower seeds? Could it be the seeds of sunflowers?"

Li Gen nodded vigorously when he heard the words, and responded.

"Father, this unremarkable thing is the seed of a sunflower."

Li Shimin finally understood, no wonder, Li Junxian said frankly that His Royal Highness King Wei asked Zhao Si and Feng Wu to present gold grains and sunflowers.

As a result, Li Shimin only saw gold grains, but no sunflowers.

After working for a long time, this pitch-black thing turned out to be a sunflower seed.

Interesting, really interesting.

The sunflower, which is depicted by the blue sparrow like a divine flower, has such seeds.

Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance!
"Come here, bring the iron pot and the stove..."

Li Shimin has a deep understanding of Li Gen's cooking skills many years ago.

To this day, Li Shimin still believes that the taste of the meals made by his big son is absolutely extraordinary.

"By the way, take another shovel and get some spices like fennel and pepper."

Li Gen immediately added.

The servant respectfully took the order and left.

Soon the stove, iron pot and spices were all sent to the Lizheng Hall.

"Go again, get some sand..."

When Li Gen's words fell, the servant rushed to prepare the sand.

After everything is ready.

On the land of the Tang Dynasty, the first melon seed frying operation was staged in the Lizheng Hall of the Taiji Palace.

The one who fried the melon seeds was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. After a quarter of an hour, His Majesty and the Empress were already salivating.

No way, the taste is too fragrant.

The entire Lizheng Palace was filled with a fragrance that had never been seen before.

The maids and servants all twitched their noses vigorously.

Even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun took deep and shallow breaths of this fragrant smell.

Seeing that the heat was about the same, Li Gen shoveled out some melon seeds with a shovel.

"Father, Queen Mother... how about a taste first?"

Li Shimin, who had been impatient for a long time, was not polite at all.

He picked up some fried melon seeds and put them directly into his mouth.

"Scent, what a fucking scent..."

Li Gen looked at his father in surprise.

It is said that eating grapes does not spit out the grape skins.

This is the first time I have seen someone who eats melon seeds without spitting out the skin.

Seeing that Empress Changsun wanted to do the same.

Li Gen stared at Li Shimin and said.

"Father, melon seed skins are hard to digest... and there is so much sand in this pot, it's not hygienic..."

health?

Li Shimin learned another new vocabulary today.

"Gen'er, what do you mean, the outer shell is not edible?"

"Um···"

Li Gen nodded vigorously.

Grab a melon seed and demonstrate it on the spot.

It has to be said that Li Gen's technique of cracking melon seeds amazed Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

It can split the pitch-black shell into two from the middle, and it can also keep the melon seed shell open without completely separating it.

Just this skill, the ability to eat melon seeds, became the goal of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's hard training and pursuit in the days to come.

The golden corn kernels are carefully ground into polenta by Li Gen.

Such delicious and fragrant food made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun very happy, and at the same time, they wanted to visit that magical land and see it with their own eyes.

If you don't go now, as you get older, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life.
