Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 234 Unknown Father
The eyes of the two princes were so covetous that they even attracted Weinan Zhechong Mansion.

Hey, you guys are going to have no business for three days, brothers killing brothers, can you change the place?

Weinan is a small place and cannot withstand your scourge!
[-] government soldiers separated the two princes' troops.

Well, the Queen Mother's Cake that Li You has been thinking about so much is really too much to eat.

The stage horse rushed to Chang'an, quickly reporting the friction between the two princes to Tai Chi Palace.

In 180 miles, horses were changed every [-] miles. Before sunset, the postman reported the news to Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin, who was sitting withered in the Lizheng Hall, heard the news, his face was withered, and his body couldn't help shaking.

Even if power changes and some conflicts inevitably arise, Li Shimin hopes to minimize the cost.

Neither Li Ke nor Li You are among the intended heirs. What are they making trouble about?
Li You was very useless in the first place, needless to say, without assisted officials, it would be impossible for him to be a serious governor.

Li Ke, you have to think about things like yourself in many ways.

Back then when I was in Taiyuan, flying eagles and horses, you learned a lot about that dude.

In other aspects, whether it is combat or governance, which aspect have you performed well?

Hey, three of my fourteen sons were murdered, and the remaining eleven are going to attack each other?

It was very simple for the matter to subside. Zong Zhengqing and Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, sent Zong Zhengcheng to reprimand them and warned them that if they continue to mess around, they will be banned from Zongzheng Temple for one year.

So, the two princes hummed twice, Li You went straight out of Tongguan, and Li Ke stopped in Tongguan to visit Li Yin, the king of Shu who had a mother and a compatriot.

In the courtyard, Li Yin, who was basking in the sun, grinned when he saw Li Ke, but he didn't dare to smile, and took a deep breath.

Li Yin was lucky to survive an arrow.

"It's a good thing you didn't go, A Niang... well, sooner or later, we brothers will be hurt because of this matter." Li Ke sat on the stone pier next to him.

"I heard that this was a blessing in disguise for me? After thinking about it, I didn't find the purpose of the assassin." Li Yin said slowly.

"Could it be the officials of Guozhou..."

Li Ke's guess is scary, but it is not unreasonable.

Who made Li Yin's most famous deed be the beating of officials?
"It's possible. But I'm more inclined, the other party is warning us." Li Yin grinned. "If the arrow is directed at the vital point, or if poison is applied, or even gold juice is applied, brother will have to arrange a funeral for me at this time."

Golden juice is usually a pronoun for defecating.

What Li Yin said sounds weird, but it is not without reason.

Fan Zheng entered the Lizheng Hall to worship as usual, and sighed slightly as he looked at Princess Jinyang who was crying.

Empress Changsun passed away, perhaps the one who was hurt the most should be her.

After the worship, he was about to leave, but Zhang Anan led him to a corner outside the hall.

The once majestic Emperor Zhenguan had gray hair and lost its luster, as if he had aged a lot.

If the calculation is correct, Li Shimin is only 44 years old now, even if he is in pain, he will not look like this.

"Avalokitesvara often said that it is thanks to you to be able to stay in the world for a few more years. Although I don't say anything, I know your merits." Li Shimin said carefully. "It's not because Ye Niang didn't know, how troubled she was to raise her son."

"I know that there are turmoil between my sons-in-law, but I can't interfere too much, just like Aye couldn't interfere with the dispute between me and... King Xiyin."

"However, I never expected that even the vassal kings who could never be involved in the imperial power would start fighting with each other. When I return, how many of these concubines will survive?"

Fan Zheng was silent for a long time: "I don't know either."

Can you tell him that your new love has become your child's old love, and then he killed your son with a knife?
Li Shimin's eyes are full of vicissitudes: "I know myself, I am a king and a sage, but I don't know my father. As Aye, I hope that more descendants can survive."

Fan Zheng thought for a while: "It's not that it's impossible, but the price is a bit high, and it may even cost you your life."

Li Shimin started, Zhang Anan signaled Fan Zheng to follow.

The name of the hall is Ziwei, and the furnishings in the hall are simple, like a military camp.

Zhang Anan led people and sent the map.

"During the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the general Chen Leng crossed the sea and entered Liuqiu Island. This place is larger than Haizhongzhou (Hainan Island), and can support more people. The victims of disasters were moved in. The king of Wu made this a vassal state, and there should be no objection in the court. right?"

There are still difficulties.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Soochow went to the island, and the Sui Dynasty also went to the island. Why not set up prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Haizhongzhou, and slowly educate?
The shortest distance between Haizhongzhou and the mainland is about forty miles, and it can be crossed by a small boat;
The average distance between Liuqiu and the mainland is about 270 miles, and the shortest distance is about [-] miles. Building boats can cross at the right time, but immigration is more difficult.

Again, transportation capacity determines the boundaries of a powerful country.

No matter how much you can fight, the supplies will not be available, and you will inevitably collapse in the end.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

Difficult, but not impossible.

According to this way of thinking, can my children go to the frontier?

"I remember, you said Yinshan..."

Sure enough, he has a brave temperament, and he does not forget to make money at this time.

"Waguo is desirable, but there are prerequisites. Either take Baekje and use it as a springboard to cross Tsushima Island and take Waguo, or just take its Ishijianfang country."

"Or, re-develop the ship. Flat-bottomed boats like building boats are not suitable for entering the deep sea. Let the shipyard develop sharp-bottomed boats."

Li Shimin was stunned: "Isn't the ship's bottom more flat and more stable?"

Fan Zheng shook his head: "I'm afraid even a master craftsman may not be able to get rid of this inherent thinking. Flat-bottomed boats are only suitable for places like rivers. After all, the water level in many places is not deep."

"However, at the same water level, the flat bottom is less stable than the pointed bottom. I only know the general principle, and the specific development has to be carried out by craftsmen."

"Authenticity, in fact, it doesn't need to be too troublesome. According to the similar size, make two smaller boats, and try it on Qujiang Pond to know which one is more stable."

Li Shimin thought over and over again, it seems appropriate to let Li You go to a place like the Wa Kingdom, why would he let him recruit some knight-errants and the like?

With divergent thinking, Li Shimin found a place to properly place the children.

For example, whoever is defeated can go to Qianzhou to raise donkeys, and by the way turn Jimi Prefecture, south of Wujiang River, into an economic state?

Then, after taking down Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, you can also place your heirs?

What a big piece of pie!

However, my body still knows how well it can support it?
If it blooms everywhere, Datang's financial resources are insufficient!

In the southwestern corner, it's not that Datang doesn't like it, but because he doesn't have the ability to take care of both!

The Silk Road is related to the trade of the Tang Dynasty and the taxes of the Tang Dynasty. One of the [-] taxes can support the Tang Dynasty without taxation, so it must be guaranteed.
