Chang'an City, Liangyi Palace, study.

Li Shimin received two copies of the recitals from Li You, the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, forwarded by Zhang Liang, the squire of the Ministry of War, one was a public recital, which stated that Lu Tong and others had set off from Yangzhou and embarked on a journey to find a new continent; Then there is the situation that the Eastern Expeditionary Army has recovered Long Island, cleared the pirates in the Dengzhou area, and embarked on the road to the Eastern Crusade.

The other is a tantric recital, stamped with a fire lacquer seal, indicating the words "His Majesty the Emperor's personal message".

Li Shimin opened the chapter, which said that the "Yinzhou" transport ship on which the eldest grandson Shunde and others were riding accidentally caught fire, and the eldest grandson Shunde and his dependents were all buried in the flames. Li You decided to set up Jeju County and Jeju Island to guard Jeju Island and temporarily appoint Sima Jiong as the county commander.

Li Shimin was silent for a while after reading the recital. He was instructed to hand over the first piece of music to the Zhongshu Province for archiving, but the second piece was locked in his own obscura. He did not tell the news to Empress Changsun and temporarily blocked the news.

Li Chengqian's foot disease had begun to improve under Sun Simiao's treatment, and after Sun Simiao left, his apprentice Wei Wen came to the East Palace every day to treat Li Chengqian. Li You's dispatch to the Ministry of War was the content of the first chapter, and he also gave Li Chengqian a copy, and Li Chengqian did not know about the affairs of the eldest grandson Shunde and others.

Empress Eldest Sun is now very close to Concubine Yin, and the two move around very frequently. In the afternoon of this day, the eldest grandson queen came to see Concubine Yin Niangniang, and saw that Xiao Wanyu and others were here, and they were all happy and shy.

She asked, "Sister Yin, what are you so happy about?" ”

Concubine Yin said excitedly: "My family You'er is happy, hey, you see that I am so happy, I have begun to talk nonsense." It's not that my family You'er is happy, it's that Wanyu, Ling'er and Qing'er are happy, and Jue'er is still young and doesn't want it for the time being. ”

"Oh, this is a great event, congratulations to my sister." Empress Eldest Sun clapped her hands and laughed.

"You'er, this kid, just doesn't obey. I've been worried to death in the past two years, Wanyu and Ling'er are both 18 years old, and Qing'er will be 18 years old soon, how many times have I urged them, but You'er is not in a hurry, there are rumors outside. Now, I can be regarded as pregnant. ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "Sister, You'er doesn't know yet, hurry up and send someone to tell him, so that he can be happy too." ”

Concubine Yin Niangniang said worriedly: "You'er, this child, don't let me worry when I'm young." When I was a child, he always caused trouble, and asked me to apologize to people twice in three days. When I grow up, I don't get into trouble, but it's even more worrying. He will go to the grassland for a while, and the Western Regions for a while, but now it is good, the land can't hold him anymore, and if he wants to go to the sea to fight some pirates, it will be more than half a year as soon as he goes out. The sword and sword always make me worry about him. Wanyu's affairs, I just want to tell You'er, and I don't know where to find him. ”

Empress Changsun comforted her and said: "You'er is a good boy, he is solving big problems for the court, and His Majesty always praises him." ”

At this moment, Yin Hongzhi came, and when he saw that Empress Changsun was also there, he saluted and said, "The minister has seen the queen's mother, and the concubine Yin's mother." ”

Concubine Yin asked, "Xiaozhi, why are you here?" ”

Yin Hongzhi smiled: "Sister, the minister is already so old, and he is still called Xiaozhi?" ”

Concubine Yin looked at him and said, "In my sister's place, you are 80 years old and Xiaozhi." Didn't you just come here yesterday, what is the matter with your visit today? ”

Yin Hongzhi said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi has sent you a letter, and the messenger has sent the letter to the minister, and the minister has sent it to you." ”

When Empress Changsun heard that Li You had sent a messenger, she said to him, "Where is the messenger?" You ask him to come to me. After speaking, she stood up and said, "Sister, Lord Yin, your sister and brother will talk, and I will leave first." ”

Before dinner, Empress Changsun summoned Li You's messenger Tian An, this guy was rough and thick-skinned, and he was also sent back to deliver the letter after 40 military sticks, he first sat in a carriage for a few days, and then rode back to Chang'an.

Empress Eldest Sun asked, "Xue Guogong, how are they?" Did you get to Jeju Island? ”

Tian An is clever, he knows the relationship between the eldest grandson Shunde and the eldest grandson queen, although Li You did not explain, but he is not willing to be the one who reports the funeral. He said: "Back to the queen's mother, when the minister came back, Xue Guogong and the others had already taken a boat to Jeju Island, and the minister didn't know about the future." ”

Empress Changsun didn't get any definite news, but she believed that Li You was doing a good job and would definitely send Changsun Shunde and others to Jeju Island safely.

She said: "I will have the opportunity to meet Xue Guogong in the future and greet him for me." ”

"Obey." Tian An responded. His heart was uneasy, unspeakably uncomfortable.

Empress Eldest Sun said, "Hai'an, take him to receive the reward." ”

Tian An really didn't want to accept this reward, but he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of Empress Changsun, so he thanked him, and then went out with Empress Changsun's maid Hai'an.

Emperor's bed.

Wang De is the head of the Inner Government, he is Li Shimin's eyes and ears, and no matter what he hears that His Majesty is interested in, he will report it to him. He said, "Your Majesty, not long ago, the Empress Niang summoned a messenger sent by His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

Li Shimin "chuckled" in his heart, worried that Empress Changsun would be sad when she heard the news of the accident of Changsun Shunde, her body had always been weak, and if there was a good one, it would be troublesome. So he decided to go and have a look.

Lizheng Palace.

"Erlang, why are you here? You don't come and say a word in advance, the concubine is so prepared. Empress Eldest Sun said in surprise.

Seeing Empress Changsun's expression, Li Shimin's heart relaxed, and he said in his heart: "Li You, this kid is just good at doing things, and he knows what to say and what not to say." ”

Next, the two had dinner together. Empress Changsun still mentioned that she had met Li You's messenger, and she said, "Thank you Erlang for the matter of Uncle Concubine." They have already gone to Jeju Island, and You'er, the child's concubine, can rest assured that they will definitely be delivered safely. ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable. However, he was not worried, he knew that Li You would lie well for himself in the future. As a son, it is natural to carry the black pot for his father.

On the vast sea, dozens of ships tossed along with the undulations of the sea. Sima Jiong caught up with Wang Jue's fleet, and saw that a ship was burning, it was a transport ship, and two warships were attacking it, and rockets were constantly being fired at each other.

Sima Jiong said in his heart: "His Royal Highness King Qi's worst fear has happened. He ordered the battleship to sail to the command ship "Chang'an".

Sima Jiong got off the battleship, rowed to "Chang'an" on a sampan, and then went to the deck on the cage that was lowered above. As soon as he saw Wang Jue, he asked eagerly, "Lord Wang, what happened?"
