My wife is Wu Zetian

These ships are so spectacular that even the largest warships in the Tang Dynasty are too small in front of them.

After Li Daosan was ready, he also started his first sea trial. The voyage lasted for a month, but he did not find the mainland that Li Yanran had imagined, so he had no choice but to return.

The second time he prepared sufficient supplies, and once again started transporting food and building a springboard base according to the small island he found on the way.

This journey was carried out and prepared, and after a year of back and forth, I finally found an archipelago comparable to the Japanese.

If Li Yanran knew about it, he would definitely know that the other party had arrived in a beautiful enclave, the Hawaiian Islands.

After replenishing supplies in the Hawaiian Islands, Li Daosan also sent a small boat to stop here, and then continued eastward to look for the new continent Li Yanran mentioned.

It was a bumpy journey, but if Li Yanran hadn't prepared lemons and other fruits on the boat as Li Yanran said, someone would have had problems.

In this way, Li Daosan, with his strong belief in Princess Lishan, finally saw America, the New World as Li Yanran said, when he ran out of ammunition and food.

Excited, Li Daosan docked the ship on the coast, and then sent people to land to look for people.

Finally, they found the local tribe, but they couldn't understand the language and they were helpless. Finally, they exchanged things for food, fresh water and some seeds from the tribe.

Then Li Daosan also set sail to leave America and began to return to Hawaii.

After more than two years of going back and forth like this, Li Daosan finally returned to Japan safely.

Di Renjie was also excited to see Li Daosan returning safely.

After hearing what Li Daosan saw, Di Renjie immediately sent someone to take the things brought back from America and headed towards Baekje.

After crossing Baekje, the ship also sailed to the Tang Dynasty, and then rushed for eight hundred miles, all the way to the Lishan fiefdom.

Li Yanran was completely excited after receiving the letters and sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and peppers sent by Di Renjie from Japan.

After several years of planning, she finally found it.

Thanks to Li Daosan's stubborn temper, otherwise, it would be difficult to reach America.

After receiving the good news, Li Yanran immediately returned to Chang'an to tell her father the good news.

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard that there were such magical things as potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, and immediately ordered someone to open a piece of land in the imperial garden for planting.

In order to prevent accidents, Li Zhi also specially sent some farmers from the royal estate outside Chang'an to concentrate on cultivating these specialties brought from South America.

After the day's hard work, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn also blossomed and bore fruit one after another, and then it was time to harvest.

Except for corn, there is nothing else to see, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"Li Yanran, how come this thing only blooms but doesn't bear fruit!"

Li Zhi looked at the vines all over the ground and was stunned.

"Father, Di Renjie sent a message, saying that the fruits of potatoes and sweet potatoes are actually under that land.

Why don't you let people dig up the land and see if you can find out? "

Li Yanran smiled and said what she had planned for a long time.

Besides, this thing couldn't be more obvious. If it's not on the ground, it must be underground.

Just like the lotus flower, what you eat on the surface are lotus seeds, but in fact the main thing you eat is the lotus root.

Dad, dad, you really let me down.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, why don't you order people to dig up the land and see how much food this thing can produce!"

Wu Zetian also smiled beside her and asked Li Zhi to send someone to dig the ground to get the fruit.

Li Zhi issued an order, and the farmers dug up the land carefully, not daring to neglect at all for fear of damaging these things.

In the end, the potato yield was almost 30 dan, the sweet potatoes were slightly less than potatoes, about 10 dan, and the corn yield was even less, only about 5 or 6 dan.

But compared to the main crop of Datang, corn, it is considered to have high yield.

"How do you eat this?"

Looking at the lumps of dirt in front of him, Li Zhi also frowned.

I have to say that these sweet potatoes are not bad, at least the skin is red, but the potatoes are black and yellow and mixed with soil, which looks unpalatable.

"Who knows, let the cook scratch his head, as long as it can fill his stomach, that's fine!"

Li Yanran smiled. He couldn't predict these things beforehand, otherwise it would be too obvious.

"That's right, that's it. Select some immediately and send them to the imperial chefs so they can study how to eat them. The rest will be sent to the royal manor outside the city and the farmers will be well served!"

The chef was a little helpless when it came to potatoes and sweet potatoes. In the end, Yang Yang could only fry, fry, boil and steam some.

After tasting it, I was also amazed, and then it was delivered to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was very excited to learn that these things were indeed edible. He bluntly said that this was auspiciousness from heaven, and ordered the Imperial City Farm to take good care of it and wait until the production is sufficient before handing it over to the country for promotion.

Time passed little by little, and Li Yanran was also transferred from the Lishan fiefdom to the imperial city so that Wu Zetian could teach her how to handle the world's government affairs.

Under Wu Zetian's guidance, Li Yanran became more and more intelligent, and gradually she was able to handle some simple government affairs on her own.

A few years later, Li Hong grew up, and after receiving Li Zhi's order, he also listened to the affairs of the dynasties.

The children have grown up, but Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are getting older.

But fortunately, Li Yanran and Li Hong are now able to stand alone. This is exactly what Li Zhi wants to see.

Brothers and friends are respectful to each other, and sisters and brothers are of the same mind. If I really wait a hundred years from now, there should be no problems with them in the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Zetian looked at Li Yanran, who looked more and more like herself, but felt a sense of urgency in her body.

She knew very well that Li Yanran was smarter than herself and more suitable than Li Hong to be the number one person in the Tang Dynasty.

So she had to help the other party fight for him no matter what, and she had to change the way men respected him in this world.

As time went by, Chi Jingde, the Duke of E, finally failed to survive and left.

After the death of E Guogong, Cheng Yaojin was nursed back to health by Sun Simiao, and his body was still in good health. After Yuchi Jingde passed away, Su Dingfang had a deeper relationship with Li Yanran, and his son Su Qingjie was also transferred to Youjinwu Guard as a general.

Di Renjie has been working hard in the Japanese country in recent years. Under his training, the Japanese country has also become a general education, learning etiquette and law, and obeying the king's way.

After Li Yanran's suggestion, Di Renjie finally left Japan and was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs as the right minister.

Li Siwen was temporarily activated and left Luoyang to serve as the governor of Japan and continue to guard Japan.

When Li Siwen arrived in the Japanese country, everything still followed Di Renjie's previous policies, establishing education, learning etiquette and law, and obeying the king's ways.

At the same time, he also stepped up the development of the Japanese gold and silver mines. As Li Yanran said, he wanted to catch all the good things here.

Everything is beginning to develop into a better place. After two years of cultivation, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are also full of seeds, and they have begun to be promoted by local governments.

But sometimes everything going too smoothly is not necessarily a good thing.

Li Zhi's headache was greatly relieved by Sun Simiao's treatment, but even this relief caused something serious.

Li Zhi was hunting, but on the way his horse was frightened and fell. Although his life was saved, he was seriously injured.

Faced with such evil, Wu Zetian made a decisive decision and asked Li Hong to supervise the country, while she followed him to assist him.

With such assistance for a year, a lot of power in the court fell into Wu Zetian's hands.

Li Zhi struggled for a year and finally passed away.

When Li Zhi died, it stands to reason that Li Hong should ascend the throne, but Wu Zetian ignored him.

After sending someone to find Li Hong, Wu Zetian also sighed as he glanced at the handsome young man in front of him.

"Hong'er, your father is gone!"

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, Li Hong was stunned.

His father actually left?

How is this possible?

Isn't it just falling off a horse? Dad is almost done recovering from his illness.

Why did it suddenly disappear?

"Mother, Hong'er doesn't believe it. My father is in good health, so he left just as he said."

"Hong'er is going to see his father."

After Li Hong said that, he was about to run out, but Wu Zetian held him back.

"Hong'er, will my mother still lie to you?

On the occasion of your father's death, tell your mother that your sister is extremely talented and has plans and means.

Behind him are the support of various princes, generals, and local governors, which is the biggest disaster of the Tang Dynasty.

He can be suppressed while he is alive, but once he dies, you must first get rid of your sister if you want to ascend the throne.

Otherwise, even if you sit on that dragon chair, the people behind your sister will not be willing to accept it, and they will definitely kidnap your sister to rebel in the future.

If this happens, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger, so my mother concealed the news of your father's death in order to discuss with you how to get rid of your sister. "

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Hong and whispered slowly into his ear.

"Queen Mother, you want to kill my sister? Queen Mother is the biological flesh and blood of you and your father.

A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, so why do you do this? "

Looking at Wu Zetian in front of him, Li Hong instantly felt a chill.

He never imagined that his father, who loved his sister the most in the past, would actually let him kill his sister.

"If your sister doesn't die, the country of the Tang Dynasty will not be preserved. Do you want to see the foundation of the Tang Dynasty destroyed in one day?"

Wu Zetian slapped Li Hong on the head, her eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

"My mother, it is absolutely impossible to kill my sister. Hong'er can't do it, and he doesn't want my mother to do it.

The killing of flesh and blood is a human tragedy.

Although the royal family was said to have no family ties, Hong'er didn't want his father and mother to become such a person and be cast aside by future generations.

Isn't there any solution to both problems? "

Li Hong looked at the old woman in front of him with red eyes. He couldn't do such a thing even if he beat her to death.

My elder sister has such a status now because her father and mother forced her to do so.

After spending such a long time with her, he thought he still knew his sister very well.

The throne is really not what the elder sister wants, and he firmly believes that the elder sister will not do such a thing.

"A two-pronged strategy? Now we are sailing against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat.

If you want to be the emperor and ascend to that ninety-five position, your sister must be eliminated.

Otherwise, you should step back and give up the throne to your sister, so as to avoid turmoil in the Tang Dynasty.

But that is a noble person, there is no reason to give it up to a woman so easily! "

Wu Zetian sighed, her son was indeed like this, almost like his father.

Kind-hearted and cowardly, with such a temperament, it is indeed inappropriate to be an emperor.

"Then what if I give up this nine-fifth position to my sister? Hong'er didn't want to be an emperor in the first place.

Sister is better than me in every aspect and better than me in everything. Wouldn’t it be better to leave Datang in his hands? "
