Li Shimin

"Your Majesty, I can't go back to Li Family Village by myself!"

"Why?" asked Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty didn't go back. If Chenglu went back to Lijiazhuang alone, Aye would break Chenglu's leg!" Li Chenglu said.

"I remember, it seems that since you guys were born, Xuanba has never severely punished you, and as for beatings, he has never been punished once!" Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, this time is different!"

Li Chenglu said quickly.

Seeing this, Li Shimin did not argue with Li Chenglu, but said directly: "So, Naer and others will follow me to inspect the small countries such as Wa, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla!"

"Chenglu obeys the order!"

Li Chenglu saluted slowly!

……

two months later.

The fleet entered Datang waters and passed through Liuqiu.

Half a month later, the fleet passed Suzhou, and [-] soldiers came up from Suzhou.

At the same time, the fleet also lost dozens of large ships.

Another half a month later.

The fleet has arrived in Haizhou.

Similarly, the fleet once again added [-] soldiers, and at the same time lost dozens of large ships.

This time, it was thousands of miles away in Chang'an City.

The Prince Jian Guo of the Tang Dynasty was sitting anxiously in the hall, reviewing the memorial in his hand.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.

"The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian looked up, stood up quickly, and returned the gift.

"Uncle, don't be too polite!"

Afterwards, he walked to the side sofa and helped Changsun Wuji to sit down slowly.

"Uncle just recovered two days ago, why don't you stay at home to cultivate for a few more days, why did you come to the palace..."

Suddenly, thinking of something, Li Chengqian's face brightened, and he quickly looked at Changsun Wuji.

"Dare to ask uncle, but there is news of the father?"

"Returning to Your Highness, news came from the manager of the shop in Suzhou. Half a month ago, His Majesty's fleet had returned to Datang, and several people stayed in Suzhou. Twenty thousand soldiers were disembarked from the fleet. Suzhou recruited [-] soldiers and continued to go north!"

Changsun Wuji reported slowly.

"Father is back?"

Li Chengqian's face was startled, and then he was puzzled again, "Since the father has returned to the Tang Dynasty, why didn't he send someone to deliver the news to the palace?"

"Could it be that the father doesn't know how much the mother misses him during the two years he has been away? Uncle..."

"Your Highness, the veteran is wondering why His Majesty wants to recruit [-] soldiers from Suzhou again!"

Changsun Wuji said solemnly.

"Why?" Li Chengqian asked subconsciously.

"Returning to Your Highness, now my Tang Dynasty is singing and dancing, and there are no foreign enemies. If Your Majesty is going to return to Chang'an, he can just come back directly from Haizhou or Qingzhou.

There is absolutely no need for His Majesty to put down the soldiers from Suzhou and other nearby cities on the original fleet, and recruit soldiers again.

Such behavior, unless His Majesty has no intention of returning to the palace! "Changsun Wuji said with a contemplative expression.

"Father has no plans to return to the palace?"

Li Chengqian was startled again, his eyes widened, and he looked at Changsun Wuji in astonishment.

"Uncle, father wants to go to inspect small countries such as Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje?"

"Even, His Majesty may go to Wa Kingdom!"

Changsun Wuji said helplessly, "Your Majesty realizes that this time will be his last trip to sea, and he must inspect the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty before he can come back with peace of mind!"

"Then the emperor will still go to America, right?"

Suddenly, Li Chengqian remembered something again, and stood up straight away, his face full of shock.

……

Chapter 878 His Majesty's Abnormal Behavior!

"Your Highness, I'm not sure about this matter either!"

Zhangsun Wuji looked helpless.

"No, I have to go to Uncle Jin for this matter!"

Now, Li Chengqian couldn't hold back anymore, stood up quickly, and walked outside the palace.

As for Changsun Wuji, he sighed helplessly and followed with a sad face.

"You mean that His Majesty may go to America?"

After listening to the words of Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian, Li Xuan sat up from the sofa in shock. According to Li Shimin's urination, it is really possible to do such a thing!

"Your Majesty, is this nonsense, how old is he, how old is Hejian County King, and there are so many veterans on board! They can go to Dashi, and then take a trip to Australia, their bodies are almost at their limit!

If there is another round of inspections in Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa, some veterans may fall.

As for going to America, it's not certain whether he and King Hejian can make it there? "

As he said that, Li Xuan hurriedly shouted to the outside: "Zheng Fu, gather two hundred guards and follow me to Qingzhou!"

As for why he didn't call him Li Chang, it was because the old butler, Li Chang, was old and had been bedridden two years ago!

"Gao Ming, Zhao Guogong, according to His Majesty's actions, they will definitely go to Qingzhou to lay down tens of thousands of soldiers, and then collect some food. I will catch up with Your Majesty if I rush overnight!"

"If that's the case, I'll trouble Uncle Wang!" Li Chengqian hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

On the other hand, Changsun Wuji said slowly, "His Royal Highness King Jin, I wonder if the old man can go to Qingzhou with King Jin?"

"uncle?"

Li Chengqian was surprised.

Li Xuan was also taken aback, looked up and down the elder Sun Wuji, and said, "Mr. Zhao Guo has just recovered from his illness, so he should stay in Chang'an. It's a long way to go. I'm really afraid that Mr. Zhao will be like Mr. Cai. I won't wait until now." When His Majesty comes back, he has already gone first!"

After finishing speaking, he walked upstairs by himself.

Behind him, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look sad.

In the spring of last year, Cai Guogong Du Ruhui, who had been bedridden for many years, still couldn't stand up, die!

Even before Li Shimin came back, the prince Li Chengqian, Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji, Wei Guogong Fang Xuanling and other loyal officials presided over the burial!

But now, Changsun Wuji also felt that his body was getting worse and worse.

If it weren't for the genius doctor Sun from the medical school to diagnose and adjust the pulse of these veterans in a few days.

I am afraid that he will not be able to get up under the wind and cold two days ago.

After a while.

Li Xuan carried two large packages in his hand, walked downstairs and went outside.

Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji hurriedly followed.

Outside the hospital.

Zheng Fu was already waiting with two hundred personal guards and four large carriages.

Li Xuan turned around and bid farewell to Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji before getting into the carriage.

Following Zheng Fu's order, two hundred personal guards guarded the four carriages and ran out quickly.

In the past few years, after Datang has no shortage of food, Datang has completely entered a stage of rapid development.

Roads, population, houses...

Naturally, the concrete avenue from Chang'an to Qingzhou is also well maintained.

There are also a lot more walking caravans.

Even though the night was getting darker, there were still scattered caravans hurrying on the concrete avenue.

As for Li Xuan, although he was in a hurry.

However, after it was completely dark, Zheng Fu was also ordered to find an inn and live in it.

Wait until dawn before starting your journey.

……

Qingzhou.

The current Qingzhou City, because of the huge shipyard outside the city, has expanded a circle outwards, and the number of people in Qingzhou City has doubled compared to ten years ago.

There are no longer enough people to live in Qingzhou city. Around the city wall of Qingzhou, a circle of houses has been built outside.

Most of them are merchants, and some are the families of craftsmen in the shipyard.

Every day when the sky was gray and bright, the Qingzhou seaport outside Qingzhou city was already full of people. Merchants or fishermen boarded their boats and went out to sea.

As a big sun emerged from the end of the sea, the entire sea was dyed golden.

The thousands of ships that hadn't left the sea area of ​​Qingzhou suddenly discovered that a large steel ship appeared at the end of the sea in the distance.

As the entire majestic body of the big ship was exposed, several large steel ships appeared behind the big ship.

The fishermen and merchants on these ships quickly began to command the ships to give way to these big ships.

However, just after getting out of the waterway, they discovered that at the end of the distant sea area, there are still large steel ships going out.

Soon, nearly a hundred large steel ships appeared.

Connected together, it is like a long dragon, heading straight to Qingzhou Harbor.

In the distance, some knowledgeable merchants couldn't help but stand on their big ships, looking enviously at the huge fleet in the distance and discussing.

"Such a huge fleet, could it be that Duke Ju's fleet came back from the small country of Linyi to escort food?"

"Since His Majesty led an army of [-] to conquer Dashi two years ago, there are only a dozen ships left in the Linyi fleet of Duke Ju. In the past two years, although the shipyard has also built many large steel ships , but there are definitely not so many ships!"

"It's not Duke Ju's fleet, where else in the Tang Dynasty can have such a huge fleet?"

"Why didn't His Majesty's fleet come back from conquering Dashi?"

"Ok?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was shocked.

An old man on the side seemed to think of something, and quickly took out a clairvoyance from his arms, and looked at the huge fleet in the distance.

Sure enough, on the two big ships in that fleet, there were shining golden yellow dragon flags!

Seeing this, the old man's face changed, and then he was overjoyed.

"It's the golden dragon flag, this is really His Majesty's fleet!"

"What, His Majesty's fleet?"

Around the old man, a group of gorgeously dressed people also quickly took out clairvoyance from their arms and looked towards the distant ship.

After seeing those dangling golden yellow dragon flags, everyone's faces were also full of joy.

"The yellow golden dragon flag, only His Majesty can fly this flag in the entire Tang Dynasty, it must be His Majesty's fleet!"

"His Majesty is finally back!"

As they spoke, a few people thought of something, and couldn't help but look puzzled.

"But didn't His Majesty bring an army of 200 and more than 100 large steel ships! How come there are only more than [-] large ships in this fleet?"

"Yeah, could it be that His Majesty's crusade against Dashi failed miserably?"
