Capital Datang

Just when Li Zhi was full of disappointment and couldn't take Cai'er to play, Li Shimin who was sitting opposite him suddenly coughed and said, "Although you can't take others with you, if someone is going to visit relatives and happens to be traveling with you , but you can also go together, but when you get along, you have to be passionate and polite, and you must not break the rules!"

Li Shimin's words remind Li Zhi that although he can't take Cai'er with him, he can let Cai'er go to Taiwan in the name of visiting relatives, and then the two of them will go together.But in the end, Li Shimin was afraid that Li Zhi and Cai'er would do something against etiquette, so he specially reminded him to avoid any scandal.

Li Zhi naturally understood his father's words, and immediately replied with a blushing face: "Thank you for your teaching, my son will save it!"

Next, Li Shimin asked Li Zhi about his studies, but Li Zhi's head is full of going out now, so when he talked, he lost everything, and Li Shimin scolded him a few more words, and then let Li Zhi go back. In the past few days, after deciding on the route map and presenting it to him for viewing, Li Zhi can be arranged to go out.

Li Zhi left the Liangyi Hall with a silly smile on his face, and originally wanted to go back to his East Palace, but he thought of such a good news, so he naturally wanted to share it with Cai'er.Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards another palace gate, which way was closer to Madam Sui's mansion.Capital Datang 513

However, just before Li Zhi left the scope of Liangyi Hall and was about to cross a covered bridge, he suddenly heard a crisp voice shouting from the side: "Brother Jiu, wait a minute, what makes you so happy?"

Following the voice, Li Zhi turned his head, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old girl standing on the covered bridge, looking at him with a smile.And see this girl.Li Zhi was also very happy. He walked over with a smile and said, "Son, are you going to practice calligraphy again? I just came back from the Hall of Liangyi, and my father just happens to be free."

This little girl was the little girl who liked to cling to Li Yin the most.However, seven or eight years have passed, and the three-year-old girl has grown into a slim figure. Although she is only eleven or twelve years old, she is already a little beauty. In a few years, she will probably be able to have a good time with her sister The princess compares, but Li Shimin will also find a husband's house for his son by then.

Sizi is the daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and she is also the most favored among the princes and princesses.It is not even an exaggeration to say that although Li Shimin dotes on Li Yin, compared with Sizi, Li Yin is willing to lose. It can be said that Li Shimin dotes on Sizi already.Fortunately, Sizi is kind and innocent in nature, even when Li Shimin is furious because of some political affairs, Sizi will advise him a little bit, which is quite like a grandson empress, so no matter who it is.Anyone who has seen Sizi will fall in love with this little princess.

Sizi likes calligraphy, especially likes to imitate the handwriting of his father Li Shimin, and even some ministers can't tell it apart.However, Sizi still felt uncomfortable, so she often came to her father to learn calligraphy. Li Zhi saw her just now.That's why I said that.However, Sizi said a little displeased: "Ninth brother, don't change the topic. I asked you why you were so happy just now. You haven't answered me yet?"

Hearing that Si Zi was chasing after him closely, Li Zhi sighed helplessly.It seems that Cai'er won't be able to go there for the time being.Then Li Zhi told him the news that Li Shimin had given him a year to go on a trip, and Sizi listened, and his two beautiful big eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Ninth brother, can you take me with you? Please, I haven't seen sixth brother for several years. I miss him in my dreams these days. Last time my sister-in-law Wenxin gave birth, I couldn't go. This time No matter what, I have to go and see Sixth Brother, and our little nephew..." Sizi suddenly rushed over to hug Li Zhi's arm, and said coquettishly.

When Li Yin was in Chang'an, he was the closest to his son. Unfortunately, after Li Yin arrived in Dengzhou, he only came back twice. Counting, Sizi hadn't seen Li Yin for four or five years, so she was naturally the closest. Miss the sixth brother who played with me.

"This is impossible. Just now I begged my father to allow me to take Cai'er, but my father didn't even agree. Besides, as a princess, it is difficult for you to leave the palace, let alone go to Sixth Brother's place." It's gone." Li Zhi immediately shook his head and said.The princesses of the Tang Dynasty are actually very restrained. Generally, after the age of ten, it is difficult to leave the palace, unless it is after marriage, so the requirement of a son is really too difficult.

"Brother Jiu, Sizi knows that you love me the most, please bring Sizi with you, okay?" Sizi shook Li Zhi's arm, and used his own coquettish way. Li Zhi absolutely couldn't stand Sizi's acting like a baby.

However, this matter is really not up to Li Zhi to decide, so no matter how coquettish Sizi is, Li Zhi dare not let go. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had no choice but to say: "Sizi, why don't you go and ask for help?" I beg my father, if my father agrees with you to go with me, then I will take you with me!"

"Okay, that's what Brother Nine said. I'll go and beg my father right away. Don't regret it then!" Although Sizi is young, he is a big kid. He knows that Li Zhi can't decide this matter, so What she was waiting for was the words from Ninth Brother Li Zhi.

"Is your ninth brother like that?" Li Zhi reached out and tapped Sizi's little head affectionately and said, "Hurry up and ask Father, I have to go back and plan the next year's itinerary, if Father If you agree to go, tell me where you want to go, Brother Nine will add it for you!"

"Thank you Brother Nine!" The little girl jumped up happily when she heard Li Zhi's words, then she ignored Li Zhi and ran towards the Liangyi Hall with her skirt.Looking at his favorite younger sister, Li Zhi shook his head with a smile. Although he really wanted to help his son, as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, his father would not agree to let her travel with him.

It's a pity that Li Zhi obviously underestimated Sizi's ability and Li Shimin's love for Sizi. That night, when Li Zhi was studying his itinerary on the map, Sizi came to His East Palace then told Li Zhi very excitedly that their father had agreed to Sizi's request.

After hearing the news, Li Zhi felt a little aggrieved, because he wanted to take Cai'er there before, but Li Shimin refused to make it public, and asked Cai'er to accompany him in the name of visiting Li Yin. The princess who was waiting to be married for the Tang Dynasty was not allowed to go out according to the regulations, but Li Shimin agreed without hesitation.This made Li Zhi sigh at the end, they are all the same father and mother, how can there be such a big difference in treatment?

Although he sighed in his heart that his father was unfair, this did not affect Li Zhi's interest in the slightest. In addition, he grew up with his son and was a compatriot of the same mother. Naturally, his relationship was much deeper than that of other brothers and sisters. I am very happy about Sizi's matter.In addition, Cai'er, who was notified by Li Zhi, was actually a little hesitant. After all, she and Li Zhi were only engaged, and hadn't officially married yet. If they went out with Li Zhi for a year at this time, she was also worried that there would be some bad rumors.But later, when she heard that her son was also going with her, Cai'er agreed to go with her. After all, she also missed her cousin and sister-in-law a little.

The choices of the three main players have been determined, and Li Zhi quickly determined the route after referring to the opinions of Cai'er and Sizi.Because this time is a trip, Li Zhi decided to take a walk in the Tang Dynasty first, first in the Guanzhong area, then in the coal mines and fur trading markets near Taiyuan, then back to Luoyang, and then to Zhengzhou Take a boat to the east, and after arriving in Weizhou, go north to Cangzhou and other places, which are the cotton textile industrial base of Datang. One-third of the cotton cloth in the country is produced in Cangzhou and several nearby states.

The next step is to go directly to the sea from Cangzhou, which is also the highlight of their trip. That is to go through Li Yin's territory and carefully examine the differences between Li Yin's rule and Datang, and Li Zhi can also learn from this comparison. The strategy of governing the country, while observing the "nature" of the people, better understand the sufferings of the people and the thoughts of ordinary people.This is one of the most basic conditions for becoming a Mingjun.Capital Datang 513

After the route was established, Li Zhi immediately bid farewell to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had already made preparations for this trip. Not only did two thousand of the prince's six leaders accompany him on this trip, but he also specially dispatched two thousand Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty. He is an elite soldier who has survived a hundred battles. With these four thousand guards, there is absolutely no problem with the safety of Li Zhi and Si Zi. Even if he wants to, he can bring these four thousand tigers and tigers to slaughter the city and destroy the country.

However, as the crown prince, Li Zhi wanted to travel abroad, which caused quite a stir in the court. Not only the conservative ministers like Kong Yingda opposed it, but even the core ministers like Fang Xuanling also opposed it. .However, Li Shimin is the founding emperor after all, and he has the courage to be the first in the world. As long as he thinks that something is beneficial to the country of Datang, even if all the ministers are against him, he can withstand all pressure and put this matter to good use. Things go down.In fact, it was precisely because of his courage that Li Yin's move to start a business in the Tang Dynasty went so smoothly, and he did not encounter much resistance at the beginning.

Although Li Shimin can withstand the pressure of the court, he cannot withstand the pressure of the harem, the most important of which is Empress Changsun. As a mother, Empress Changsun naturally does not want to see her children leave her, especially in Li Chengqian and Li Tai. After being exiled from Chang'an due to a crime, among the biological children who stayed with Empress Changsun, there were only Princess Changle, Li Zhi and Sizi. But Princess Changle was married, and her health was not good, so she could not stay by her side , so usually only Li Zhi and Si Zi are the two of them who are in love with each other, but now, Li Zhi and Si Zi have to go out for a trip, and they will be away for a year, which naturally makes her, a mother, extremely reluctant.

For Empress Changsun's complaints, Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore, and in the end he let his son out, acting coquettishly and flattering her. After a lot of effort, Empress Changsun was relieved, and she just asked Li Zhi to tell him to take good care of her younger sister. .

In July of the 18th year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi traveled with Princess Jinyang.When Li Shimin saw his son and daughter off, he looked at Li Zhi who was riding a horse and was walking slowly, and thought of Li Yin who was far away overseas, but he couldn't help sighing: They are all his sons, I just hope they can Keep the current relationship longer!
