Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 426 Parade
As for the Liaodong Peninsula, it was officially renamed Liaodong Road, ten new counties were established, and the Liaodong Governor's Mansion was set up in the domestic city. Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, was appointed as the governor. .

When they arrived at Wadao Road, Li Shimin and his party visited the mine and several densely populated areas. They were very satisfied when they saw the scene of the busy autumn harvest. Knowing that this year was another bumper harvest, they praised the grandson Shunde a lot, and then set off for the Jiangnan.

This is also Li Shimin's first inspection tour of the world, and there is no place to pass it on, so it can be said to be a surprise inspection.

The scene on Wajima Road opened the eyes of Jin Shengman and others. They did not expect that living next to each other, just across a strait, the Tang Dynasty has been governed so prosperously, not to mention the huge mine, even the harvest of grain is not two countries can be compared.

Fuyuzhang, in particular, was even more terrified. Fortunately, he agreed to surrender. If he only took Baekje, which is the closest to Wado Road, and transported troops with the huge ships of the Tang Dynasty, it only took half a day to board all over Baekje. road.

"My Majesty, the port of Quanzhou is ahead." A Jinwu guard with a binoculars walked up to Li Shimin who was being accompanied by Fang Xuanling and others to report.

"Oh!" Li Shimin handed the fishing rod to the waiter, got up and took a binoculars to watch.

"Why are there a few big ships at the port?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

"That's Yuanzheng! The expedition fleet has returned." Li Jing looked at it and said happily.

"Okay! Go ahead quickly, I have to ask carefully." Li Shimin reacted when he heard this, and said excitedly.

…………

"My minister Liu Rengui (Li Chongyi) sees the Holy One!" The two saluted Li Shimin excitedly.

"Excuse me, the two lovers have worked hard all the way." Li Shimin looked at the two as dark as Kunlun slaves, and said gently, he could feel the hard work of the two without listening.

"Tell me about the situation in the West." Li Shimin called the two to sit down, and asked Fang Xuanling and others to sit down and listen.

"Report to the Holy Majesty, the ministers and others set off from April 25, the seventh year of Zhenguan. It took one year and three months to pass through the Nanyang Islands and travel along the coastline of Tianzhu. They encountered a storm on the way, deviated from the course, and finally landed in a place called Tole. Heraclius, the king of the Eastern Roman Empire, went to Eastern Rome to pay a visit to Heraclius, the king of the Eastern Roman Empire. This time, King Heraclius sent his younger brother, Grand Duke Theodora, to visit our Tang Dynasty, and hoped that the Holy Majesty would receive him." The two looked at each other, Introduced by the eloquent Li Chongyi.

Then Liu Rengui took out a map and explained the route and the time needed for several people in detail.

"One year and three months? In other words, I came back more than two months ago, why are you still here?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, according to Dudu Feng's order, ocean-going ships returning to China must be quarantined for one month to prevent the disease from being brought back to the Central Plains. This is the first time for me to go to sea, so I waited an extra month." Li Chongyi explained.

"Very well, Weiguo has long-term and thorough considerations, and we must strictly abide by them in the future, but you have sailed tens of thousands of miles, which lasted a year and three months, it is really not easy!" Li Shimin said, gesturing on the map with his hands.

"I'm ashamed, I didn't talk about it until I came back for more than a year, and I didn't find out much. As for the food that Dudu Feng said, I didn't find it." Liu Rengui said with his head bowed in shame.

"It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself. This trip has at least found out a way, and I also learned about the outside world. Knowing that there are still opponents in this world, so that I don't have to worry about being alone. My heart is so comforted, my heart is so comforted!" Li Shimin said with great emotion.

After escaping from the countries of the Western Regions and the three kingdoms of Liaodong being conquered, Li Shimin's heart began to slacken somewhat, and only then did he conduct inspections. When he heard that there were still big countries that regarded the ocean as inland, he was immediately full of energy and felt that life had changed again. With a goal.

"That's right, the bigger the world is, the more people will not feel satisfied, let alone slack off. At least they will know that there are foreign enemies in this world, so they will be united." Fang Xuanling nodded and comforted them.

"I would like to abide by the holy precepts. After the ship is repaired, I will request to go to sea again." Liu Rengui bowed and asked for orders.

"Don't be in a hurry, take a good rest, summarize your shortcomings, and list out what you need next time, and I will ask someone to prepare it for you." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your obedience!"

Li Shimin let the two of them have a good rest and gave them a long vacation, and then asked Fang Xuanling: "What do you think of Ai Qing?"

"Ocean still has to continue. Just looking at the property brought back this time, the trip is worthwhile. Except for all expenses, the remaining property can increase the fleet by a few more. If there are more ships, I believe we can bring back more. A lot of wealth." Fang Xuanling said affirmatively while holding the list in her hand.

"The minister seconded the proposal, but the minister suggested recalling Weiguo. He has unique views on overseas affairs, and he thinks there will be better arrangements." Li Jing suggested!

"Aiqing is right. I will make preparations and call Weiguo back. When we come back from the tour of Lingnan, Weiguo will almost arrive in Chang'an." Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

"I suggest that you bring Theodora along and let him experience the power of Datang. Even if we cooperate in the future, the stronger side will take the initiative." Fang Xuanling suggested.

"I think that Eastern Rome must have a strong enemy on its side, and it is at a disadvantage. It will be more beneficial to show its strength. As for the transaction, let's see what their needs are. Even if they need to send troops, I think they can also send artillery. But we are in charge." Li Jing keenly sensed something unusual in the words of Liu Rengui and the two of them, and persuaded Li Shimin.

"This matter will be discussed later. Starting tomorrow, I will take that Theodora to take a good look around. I will also take a good look at it. I have never relaxed to watch the world." Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty has put so much effort into Datang, so you should see it with your own eyes. This is better than the memorial." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"The crown prince is doing well, and I am also much more relaxed. Just looking around, after leaving Wadao Road, I understand why my father likes to play around. It turns out that there are so many beautiful places in the world." Li Shimin relaxed and sat sideways. said happily.

"Now that Tang Dynasty is closer to Tubo, it is just Tubo who mobilize a large army to train and adapt to Tuyuhun Taoism. After a few years of cultivation, they will be wiped out with their backhands. The others are just some small tribes. The Holy One only needs to arrange a small group of soldiers to conquer them.

So it's okay for the Holy Majesty to take a proper rest. " Li Jing persuaded with a smile.
