Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 375 Return to Datang
"Why don't you let her stay with you?"

"At your age, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you again after this parting."

Li Ke asked lightly.

Emperor Tuigu naturally understood that if he said goodbye to his granddaughter, he might never see him again.

But it's better than staying by your side and facing a hopeless future.

So, he talked about why Keiko Murura should follow him to Datang.

Seeing her sincere words, Li Ke agreed, but he had other considerations.

When it was the day of departure, Emperor Tuigu never thought that Li Ke would bring her on board.

Mura Mieko was naturally weeping with joy, it's really great that she doesn't have to be separated from her grandma.

Those who came to see him off all stood in their respective positions and were extremely respectful.

"Your Highness, are you really leaving?"
The young man said with a look of reluctance.

Li Ke asked him to manage the country of Wa according to what he said, and if he had something to do, he could write a letter to report.

Then he said loudly to those Japanese people who came to see him off:

"You are all the common people of this land."

"What is under your feet is your foundation."

"Now, the land has returned to your hands."

"I think you all already know how to do it."

"I hope you will do it for yourself and for your family."

"We can work hard and make progress together."

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, someone raised their arms and shouted:

"His Royal Highness King Shu, long live!"

"His Royal Highness King Shu, long live!"

"His Royal Highness King Shu, long live!"

Li Ke looked at the extremely excited people below and became even happier when he noticed that the system prompted that his charm value had increased.

"set off!"

He gave an order.

The ships lifted anchor immediately, and sailed out to sea one by one.

Many fishermen from Wa country followed behind them and escorted them all the time.

"Go back, the open sea is too dangerous, you can't go there anymore."

Chu Fei came to the deck and said loudly to the following fishing boats.

These ships knew that if they went further in, they would be in danger, so they could only wave goodbye to the Datang fleet.

Until the Datang fleet disappeared.
.
Li Ke left some personnel in Japan, but they were only responsible for early management.

After he returns to Datang and reports the matter to Li Shimin, I believe Li Shimin will appoint officials to manage it.

On the sea, the wind and waves were calm, and everyone was used to taking boats, so no one had any adverse reactions.

Only Emperor Tuiko and Keiko Murami, who were on the boat for the first time, both vomited faintly and felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that the two were really uncomfortable, Xiangling asked the doctor to come over and show them.

The doctor gave the two people two injections to stop their constant urge to vomit.

However, Murami Keiko still felt extremely uncomfortable in her stomach.

Just when she thought half of her life was almost gone.

Finally arrived at the location, the ship docked.

It's the fleet of His Highness the King of Shu!

Someone recognized it and immediately yelled loudly.

Zhao Hu also got the news and immediately rushed to the pier to meet him.

After Li Ke stepped off the boat, Zhao Hu hurriedly greeted him.

"I have seen His Highness the King of Shu, you have worked hard."

He clasped his fists in salute.

He already knew about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, and the memorial of the good news had already been rushed to Chang'an.

Li Ke didn't find it hard, and he gained a lot from this trip to Japan.

"How's the shipyard going?"

Li Ke asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, ten more warships have been built."

Zhao Hu knew that Li Ke was asking about the battleship, so he hurriedly replied.

"But it's in the drawings you gave earlier, Your Highness."

"The biggest one is still under construction. There are some difficulties, and the craftsmen have been unable to complete it."

"They are waiting for your Highness to come back."

After Li Ke went to the shipyard before, he gave them some blueprints of warships. Of course, the production started from the easiest one.

After Li Ke went to Japan, they began to build the largest warship, but they encountered difficulties and could not overcome them.

So Li Ke asked Chu Feng to arrange for the entourage to rest, while he and Zhao Hu went to the shipyard.

In the palace, Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, while Concubine Yang on one side was grinding cinnabar for him.

The things used by emperors are naturally different from others.

"I don't know what happened to Ke'er?"

"This kid has been gone for so long without sending a letter back."

Concubine Yang put down the cinnabar ink stick and said worriedly.

"The child is older, he has his own arrangements, and you don't have to worry too much."

Li Shimin dipped in the ink again and continued to criticize.

Hearing this, Concubine Yang could only sigh softly, but said nothing more.

The son travels thousands of miles, and the mother is worried that no matter whether it is a commoner or an emperor, he cannot do without this custom.

"It's almost the same, the emperor takes a short rest and has some tea."

Concubine Yang brought the freshly brewed tea to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin wrote two more characters, he put down the cinnabar pen.

"it is good!"

He took the teacup and took a sip.

Before putting down the cup, someone from the palace came in to report.

"Report to the emperor, there is a rush to send."

On the tray in the hands of the palace man was a memorial.

"Oh?"

Li Shimin put down his teacup.

"Where did you get the rush?"

"Back to the emperor, it's about His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

The palace man replied immediately.

"Submit it quickly."

Li Shimin said immediately.

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing. Li Ke, king of Shu, is indeed his son.

"it is good!"

"The king of Shu will make another extraordinary contribution."

Li Shiming praised.

Concubine Yang was also very happy. She was naturally happy that her son had a future, but she was also extremely worried.

Behind this credit, I don't know how much the child has suffered.

Was there any wounded on the battlefield.

"By the way, where is Ke'er now? When will you return to Beijing?"

Concubine Yang asked with concern.

"It is estimated that we have arrived in Datang by now."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"He also brought back Emperor Tuigu from the Wa Kingdom, so he will naturally return to Beijing."

Hearing what he said, Concubine Yang was relieved.

In the early morning of the next day, many courtiers also knew that Li Ke, King of Shu, had taken the kingdom of Wa.

All of a sudden, the hall was full of excitement.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the Shu royal party were even more happy.

May I ask which prince can be like the king of Shu, capable of writing and martial arts, and have won so many military exploits.

"The king of Shu will return to court in a few days, and you all have to think carefully about what gifts you can give him."

Li Shimin was so happy that he played a joke with all his courtiers.

The hall became even more lively.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is worthy of being the emperor's son. He is brave and mighty, all because of the emperor's careful teaching."

Some of the ministers praised him.

Li Shimin was even more happy when he heard that, Li Ke was able to make him look good.

Originally, he had no intention of disturbing the Wa country, after all, it was only a small country of Fanbang.

However, during the Sui Dynasty, Japanese pirates would often plunder the villages and towns near the sea, which was really annoying.

Li Ke won the Wa Kingdom once and for all. In the future, the coastal towns will no longer be harassed by pirates, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
