Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 263 Ask the prince to bring a boat over to have a look

"What?" Fang Xuanling was shocked when he heard Tang Jian's report, "There is a shipyard in Penglai, and there are eighteen huge ships, all built by this shipyard?"

Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu and the others were already dumbfounded. Although Li Shimin had already learned everything from Li Fu's voice, he was still very shocked even though he had heard it once.

"Who owns the shipyard? Can the specific number of ships be investigated? How many people are there in the shipyard and the ships? Can they be found out? Have the blueprints of the ships been found?"

Fang Xuanling was almost like a cannonball, asking several questions in a row. It was obvious that Tang Jian's report scared the first assistant of the Tang Dynasty.

Eighteen giant ships, this is not a matter of numbers, but a huge trouble. Once owned by the enemy country or rebels, these eighteen giant ships will cause immeasurable losses to Datang.

Tang Jian quickly comforted him: "Prime Minister, don't panic, the shipyard, warship, and all personnel are now under the management of Shen Lian!"

"Shen Lian?" Changsun Wuji frowned, "Shen Lian from the steel factory? You mean, the prince..."

Tang Jian saw that the elder Sun Wuji had already reacted, clapped his hands and smiled and said, "It is the prince. The shipyard and the warship belong to the prince. I have found out that the prince's steel factory sends a large amount of specially-made goods to Penglai every day. Steel, to make ships."

In the imperial study room, almost all the princes have not been able to recover from the shock until now.

No one expected that His Highness the Crown Prince, who was usually harmless to humans and animals, seemed to stay at the gate of the East Palace every day without leaving the gate, but in the end, he secretly did such a big thing.

Tang Jian then reported the situation to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I also found out that the prince's subordinates are now recruiting sailors in counties and counties around Penglai, and all the recruiters rushed into the ranks of the navy."

"His Royal Highness's intention is very obvious, that is to create the strongest naval warriors for our Great Tang."

"What does the prince want to do? Naval battle? Who is he going to fight?" Changsun Wuji looked shocked, "Does my Great Tang have any enemies at sea? Why does he build so many sea ships? Who are they going to fight at sea?"

Li Jing laughed loudly and said, "Duke Qi, what you said is absurd. Isn't Datang's enemy at sea right in front of you? Dongying is not far from Baekje and Liaodong!"

"Exactly!" Tang Jian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from Shen Lian a word from His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince said: He wants to let all my Great Tang ships pass by my Great Tang territory. "

Wow... There was an uproar in the main hall, and Li Shimin was even more moved.

His dream was just to be a real Heavenly Khan, to conquer the land and receive all kingdoms, but he didn't expect Li Fu's dream to be more domineering than him.

Li Shimin suddenly felt that his status was not at the same level as that of the prince. Compared with him, Li Fucai should be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian, was dumbfounded and said: "Every place that my Great Tang ship passes by is my Great Tang territory. The prince is so brave, incomparable, incomparable, he is really a formidable young man!"

Fang Xuanling also nodded again and again, "So that's how it is. Our eyes are only in front of our eyes, and the prince's eyes are already looking out of the field. I really didn't expect the prince to have such ambitions. The prosperity of my Tang Dynasty is just around the corner!"

Xiao Yu pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "The crown prince is building a navy in Penglai. Could it be that His Majesty has already mentioned to the crown prince that he wants to attack Dongpu, so the crown prince is making preparations in advance?"

"All the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty were dealt with by the prince. It seems that the prince is going to use Dongpu to test his navy."

Xiao Yu's words caused even greater uproar, and Li Shimin waved his hand to interrupt the crowd, "Everything the prince does is at my behest, you don't need to think too much, but I didn't expect that the prince's plan is more important than what I thought. grand!"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, the princes present all agreed deeply.

Cheng Yaojin looked annoyed, "Mr. Ju, you don't ask Lao Cheng to come with you. If you can see that giant ship with your own eyes, it will be worth your life!"

Tang Jian smiled slightly but said nothing, but the majestic sight of the eighteen giant ships displayed on the sea already appeared in front of his eyes.

"How difficult is it to see the giant ship!" Li Shimin said vigorously at this time: "Go, follow me to the East Palace, and let the crown prince transport a warship to Chang'an."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, all the ministers were excited. The important ministers in the court were busy with affairs every day. They probably had very few opportunities to leave Chang'an in their lifetime, let alone go to Penglai to see the giant ships.

So when Li Shimin and his party came to the East Palace, everyone was in high spirits. Everyone hoped that the moment when they could see the giant ship as soon as possible.

But when Li Shimin and others arrived at the East Palace, they found that the East Palace was very lively. Princess Jinyang, Princess Gaoyang and other women were all playing and playing in the East Palace at the moment.

But Changsun Wuji glanced at the East Palace, but his expression became gloomy, because he didn't see his precious daughter.

The eldest grandson, Pingting, is the master of the East Palace. How decent are these women, even princesses, playing around in the East Palace!

Fang Xuanling's face darkened when he saw Princess Gaoyang playing around. Li Shimin's face also became a little ugly when he saw her.

Li Shimin knew that Fang Xuanling was not satisfied with Gao Yang, even if it was because Gao Yang was not satisfied with Fang Xuanling's son, but since he was married, he had to abide by the rules, Li Shimin immediately said: "Gao Yang, why are you here? "

When the girls saw Li Shimin, they quickly stopped playing and stepped forward to salute. Gao Yang saluted Li Shimin first, then Fang Xuanling, and then said: "Father, father, is from Jinyang's younger sister, La Erchen." .”

"Yes!" Princess Jinyang was not the only one. She stepped forward with an innocent face and explained: "Father, Ah Fu said that he had made something new, so I brought Sister Gao Yang over to see it. You don't know how? Be angry!”

"Oh! So that's the case, what's new for the prince?" Li Shimin and others became curious when they heard what Princess Jinyang said.

Just as he was talking, Li Fu came out from behind the side hall, followed by Xue Rengui and Cao Shaoqin, each holding a few pieces of colored glaze in his hand.

When he walked in front of the crowd and they could see clearly, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Is this Liuli? Is it a mirror made of Liuli? This, how can this be so transparent?"

"Oh my god, this is brighter than my copper mirror. This is the first time I've seen a mirror that can illuminate people so clearly!"

"This is much better than the bronze mirror, my God, His Royal Highness, is this another new invention of yours?"

The princes were filled with admiration, and Li Fu couldn't help but frown when he looked at Li Shimin and the many princes in front of him...
