Chapter 512: Give you a year
Regarding Wu Meiniang's words, Li Su shook his head and smiled: "Mei Niang, you don't have to worry, Luzon has been pacified, and with more and more Han people migrating over, the rule will only become more and more stable, as for Lin Yi's side, we have long controlled the top and bottom of this country, and now we just change our name and drive Fan Zhenwei out of power, there will be no problem at all." ”
Li Su said this, paused for a moment and then said: "Of course, if you want to stabilize the rule of these two places, you do need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, which also makes us unable to draw too much strength to expand, but the Strait of Malacca is too important, which is related to the success of the seventh and eighth brothers' trip, so this waterway must be in my hands, and I only need this strait now, so for the time being, I will only use the forces on both sides of the strait, with our naval strength, there is no problem at all to eliminate them, As long as we do not penetrate deep into the interior of Jinzhou and the Malay Peninsula, we will not need to exert too much force, and we will not have any adverse impact on the current Linyi and Luzon. ”
Hearing that Li Su just wanted to get rid of the forces along the Strait of Malacca, Wu Meiniang finally breathed a sigh of relief, others may not know, but Wu Meiniang, who is in charge of intelligence, knows very well that the forces around Malacca are actually not strong, for example, taking the current Malacca overlord Mo Luo You as an example, although they have thousands of warships, but due to shipbuilding technology, they are basically some small boats, and they can't compare with the warships in Li Su's hands, more than a dozen giant warships on Linyi's side, It has already made the Moluoyou Kingdom not dare to act rashly against the Han people's sea ships.
"It turns out that the husband has already planned, but the concubine is too worried!" Wu Meiniang said reassuringly, and showed a smile to Li Su. began to look through the information sent by Yang Jiu and the others, although they dictated some just now. But the most detailed information was written on paper, and waited until Wu Meiniang read it. Pick out some important ones for Li Su to watch, and seal the rest.
It is said that a focused man attracts the attention of a woman the most, but in fact, if the men and women in the words are reversed, the same applies. Li Su saw Wu Meiniang who was engrossed in watching the information, and felt his heart tremble, and he suddenly found that Wu Meiniang was so charming when she was focused, even if both of them already had children. It still made Li Su feel excited, and at the same time, there was a burst of heat in his lower abdomen.
Driven by this instinct, Li Sue walked behind Wu Meiniang, then bent down and gently hugged the other party, and his hands were very dishonest and touched the towering chest of Mei Niang.
Wu Meiniang, who was watching the information intently, did not have any psychological preparation at all, and when she felt that someone was attacked in the chest, a wave of anger immediately swelled up, but when she smelled the familiar breath on Li Su's body, she thought that there were only two of them in the study. At the moment, his whole body was also weak, and he glared at Li Su with slanted eyes. It's just that the beauty is coquettish, and it is even more amorous, and Li Su can no longer hold back the lust in his heart. picked Wu Meiniang up horizontally, and then walked to the bed behind the study.
In the Liangyi Hall of Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Shimin and the crown prince Li Zhi sat opposite each other. The two are divided into black and white, and they are killing on the chessboard. Li Shimin's chess skills are superb. Although Li Zhi is young, he has the guidance of several national players. The chess power is also very extraordinary, and Li Shimin has something in his heart today, so he let Li Zhi take advantage of it, and slowly gained the upper hand.
"Don't play, the defeat is done, pheasant slave, your chess strength is rising!" Li Shimin suddenly put the white son back in his hand, and then looked at Li Zhidao with some relief. As a father, he naturally hopes that his son can surpass him, and Li Shimin is no exception.
"Father, you are letting your sons, otherwise, with your father's chess strength, where can your sons be defeated?" Li Zhi also said a little modestly, but there was a joy on his face that could not be concealed.
Li Shimin looked at his son's appearance but smiled faintly, stood up and moved his body, then walked to the bookcase, took out a book and a letter from it, turned around and handed it to Li Zhidao: "Pheasant slave, this is your seventh brother and starling brother wrote the fold, as for this letter, it was written by your sixth brother, and it is all about one thing, that is, your seventh brother and starling are about to go to Tianzhu!" ”
When Li Shimin said this, a very complicated look flashed on his face, which included distress and pride, he also knew that Li Zhen and Li Yun would definitely encounter a lot of dangers during their trip, and they might even lose their lives, but since they want to do something about it, they naturally have to pay something, and nothing in this world falls from the sky. Thinking about it at the beginning, didn't he himself die and die on the battlefield several times, and finally won the current Jiangshan Sheji.
Li Zhi heard that Li Zhen and Li Yun were about to go to Tianzhu, but there was a look of envy on his face. Although he has learned a lot of things from Li Shimin and the ministers in recent years, and his temperament has become much calmer, after all, he is still only a teenager, and his heart is full of yearning for the bizarre overseas world in the legend.
It's just a pity that his status as a prince has become a shackle on his body, not to mention going out to play overseas, I'm afraid that he will be admonished by a group of old ministers for a long time when he goes out of Chang'an City. Although Li Zhi knew that he was carrying the future of Datang, he was still only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy after all, and he was at a fun and active age, especially when he saw a few elder brothers wandering outside, and he could only stay in Chang'an City all day, which made Li Zhi feel like a year.
Li Shimin looked at the envy on his son's face, and smiled secretly in his heart, he also understood Li Zhi's thoughts very well, when Li Zhi was not the prince, he clamored to go to Taiwan with Li Zhi and them, but because he was too young, he was stopped by himself, and then he finally got older, but he became the prince again, and it was even more impossible to go out.
"Pheasant slave, do you really want to go to your sixth brother's place?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.
Li Zhi suddenly raised his head after hearing this, with a look of surprise on his face, but soon he controlled his expression again, and said in a calm voice: "Father Qi, Erchen has read a lot of books in recent years, but I always feel that something is missing, thinking that the sixth brother once told me that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read a thousand books, so Erchen has always wanted to go out for a walk, but he is restricted by his identity, but he has not been able to do so!" ”
"Good! It's better to read a thousand books than to travel thousands of miles! After hearing this, Li Shimin stroked his palms and laughed, "Pheasant slave, what your sixth brother said is right, as an emperor, if he only stays in the deep palace, then he will never know the suffering of the people, and you must remember this when you train your successor in the future!" ”
When Li Shimin said this, he suddenly turned around, looked at Li Zhi with blazing eyes, and said, "My father has only recently figured out this problem, so I thought about it again and again and decided to let you go out......"
"Really? Thank you! Before Li Shimin's words were finished, Li Zhi had already raised his head with a face full of ecstasy, just now he had heard a hint from his father's words, but now after confirming this, he was still extremely surprised.
"Hmph, for the monarch, how can you be so unbreathable?" Li Shimin was interrupted by Li Zhi, and couldn't help but scold at the moment. However, seeing Li Zhi so happy, he, as a father, was also happy in his heart, and there was no anger in his tone.
Li Zhi also knew that he was too happy, and fortunately there were only two of them here, if there were other ministers, he would probably have to say that he had lost his honor in front of the palace.
Seeing Li Zhi stick out his tongue and stand up again, Li Shimin glared at his son again, and then continued: "But this time the outside is not just for you to play, you can arrange the journey yourself, I will give you a year, within this year, you must be familiar with the life of the people in China, in addition, you can also go to your sixth brother, experience the difference between your sixth brother and our Datang, and write a comparative article afterwards, for the father to check!" ”
"A year?" Li Zhi couldn't believe it, he didn't expect his father to give him so much freedom, a year to let himself arrange, he could go wherever he wanted, and even go to sea to the sixth brother, it was like a dream.
Thinking of this year's free time, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little distracted, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly saluted Li Shimin: "Thank you, father, son-in-law will definitely live up to his father's expectations!" ”
Li Shimin looked at his excited son with a flushed face, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and a hint of doting appeared on his face, and then said: "Get up, make this decision for your father, in fact, the main thing is to let you broaden your horizons, and there is another point, that is, the development of your sixth brother is very fast, for example, in the case of the island of Taiwan, the speed of development is simply a bit incredible, in just a few years, it is almost faster than the Dengzhou area, if it is a few years later, It is estimated that it will be more prosperous than our Guanzhong area in the Tang Dynasty, which my father has been thinking about for a long time and can't figure it out, so if you go there, ask your sixth brother for advice, and you will use it in the future! ”
"Yes, father, the son hasn't seen the sixth brother for several years, so I must have a good chat with him then!" Li Zhi said in high spirits. He'd been waiting for this opportunity for years, so now he couldn't wait to leave right away.
However, Li Zhi immediately thought of another question, and asked cautiously at the moment: "Father, if the son goes out this time, can you find someone to accompany you?" ”
Although Li Zhi didn't say who he was looking for, as a person who came over, Li Shimin certainly had the thoughts of his son, so after glancing at Li Zhi, he said with a serious face: "I can let you go out for a year, and my father is already under great pressure, how can I bring other people?" ”
Li Zhi's face was full of disappointment when he heard this, he originally wanted to take Cai'er with him, and then go all the way to the mountains and rivers, isn't it a beautiful thing in the world? But now it seems that there is no play. It's just that Li Zhi didn't notice that when Li Shimin finished saying the above words, there was a hint of a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
