Chapter 531: Li Ke embarks on a journey
Because Li Ke is leaving, although this year's Spring Festival is just as lively, it is more of a reluctance.
Just when he had a reunion dinner the night before the beginning of spring, Li Ke was drunk, he pulled Li Chengqian and talked all night, and finally leaned on Li Chengqian.
That night, Li Ke really said everything, good and bad, scolding, he told his eldest brother all the wine, and even his deep jealousy of Li Chengqian He also said it without reservation, but more of a thank you to Li Chengqian, and let Li Chengqian, the brother, help him take good care of his daughter, and said that he was sorry for her.
Seeing Li Ke like this, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that he was very bad, why should he be like this.
That night, Li Chengqian also drank a lot with Li Ke.
But the days that should go on will continue, in the days that follow, Li Ke is more by his family's side, and Erya is taking advantage of this time to keep making all kinds of small clothes for Li Qing, she doesn't know how long it will take to see her daughter, so she made some clothes for Li Qing from one year old to 10 years old, because she doesn't know how fast her daughter will grow, and she has done all kinds of sizes she can think of.
But time still passed quickly, and the court meeting after the Lantern Festival still came as scheduled, and Li Chengqian rarely participated in this court meeting.
After discussing various things at this court meeting, Li Shimin finally threw out the plan.
When Li Shimin finished speaking, and then Li Ke said that he had secretly developed the power in the past few years, the entire court was shocked, even the eldest grandson Wuji, who was Li Shimin's confidant, and Du Ruhui looked at Li Shimin in shock.
They never thought that Li Shimin would have such courage, he actually wanted to support his third son to take the vast territory in the south and build an empire comparable to the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, they know a lot about the royal family, and they also look at Li Chengqian, wanting to know what important role this prince, who usually does not show up much, plays in it.
Because they all have reason to believe that Li Chengqian is absolutely involved in it, and even said that there is his support in this, otherwise Li Ke will not be able to develop.
You must know that the Military Academy is in his hands, the Royal Chamber of Commerce is also his, and the same is true for Mingwei, and the talents, materials, and population that Li Ke needs are also from these places.
When everything is connected in series, several people who are familiar with each other admire the prince in front of him, who has not said a word.
And with the end of the Great Dynasty Meeting, the imperial list was issued to all the Daozhou of the Tang Dynasty, and the entire Tang Dynasty was boiling, and the officials who were implicated in the family rebellion before, as well as many old ministers of the former Sui Dynasty, were also ready to move, and they all thought that this was an opportunity.
And some desperate people have already found the local government and left for Nanzhao with the approval document, and they all want to re-exercise their ambitions there.
But in the same way, because many people went south, there were also some turmoil in many places in the Tang Dynasty, although Li Chengqian, who had been prepared for a long time, was still very unhappy to see that many former Sui ministers were making trouble and inciting the people.
Although five days after the issuance of the Imperial List, the Ming Wei from all over the country who had received the order earlier cooperated with the local government to strike hard, and the Wolf Wei also scattered around to cooperate with Ming Wei to deal with several areas with the most serious turmoil.
In the past five days, many officials in Chang'an have resigned, and most of these people are the children of some ministers who have idle posts in the imperial court, and they will follow Li Ke to the south.
And on this day, Li Ke and his wife, who had already packed everything, left Zhao Wangfu, they were leaving, and they had to say goodbye to all of them yesterday, and their daughter was also sent to their eldest brother.
When he stepped out of Zhao Wang's Mansion and looked at the blood guard composed of more than two hundred night guards that had been prepared, Li Ke did not speak, and after helping Erya to get into the car, he just made a gesture, and the carriage carrying him and Erya set off under the escort of the blood guards.
"Brother Xiucai, when did you say we could go back to Chang'an" Sitting in the carriage, Erya couldn't help but ask sadly.
"Soon, soon, Erya, don't worry, soon, soon we will come back to pick up Qing'er" Li Ke said repeatedly soon, but he didn't know when he would come back.
When their convoy left Mingde Gate, there were still thousands of people waiting for them, all of whom were going south with Li Ke, including 2,000 soldiers, who were now welcoming Li Ke's arrival.
Looking at these people, Li Ke stepped forward and spoke to them, made a promise, and set a goal.
At this moment, Li Ke showed the emperor's bearing, and it also made these people more determined to follow Li Ke.
Just as Li Ke finished speaking and ordered to set off, a pair of hundred horsemen sent several carriages to each other, and with the sound of His Majesty arriving, Li Ke and the others turned to look at the Mingde Gate.
When Li Shimin got out of the carriage with the queen's eldest grandson Wujian and Yang Guifei Yang Lian, Li Chengqian took Cheng Zimo and Li Qing to get out of the carriage, and everyone saluted respectfully.
Li Ke even took the second girl to greet him, and came to Li Shimin and knelt down directly in front of them.
"Father, mother, mother, didn't you say that you won't be able to send it?"
"You kid, you're going to go far away, how can you not come to see you off as a parent, and your father is also old and confused, you don't have a business name yet, it's not good to let you go out like this, and your mother also wants to meet you" The eldest grandson Wujian looked at Li Ke and Erya who were kneeling on the ground, pulled them up first, patted the snow off their bodies for them, and said to them.
"Dad is old and confused, as your mother said, Dad hasn't given you a name yet, in your generation, your eldest brother's name is your grandfather's early years, Gao Jue Mingli, for the country and the people, your second brother is for learning, and your father hopes that you can realize your dream and become a good king, your name is called (wei) Jun" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and patted him on the shoulder and said to him.
"Weijun, Li Weijun, thank you, Dad, I will definitely live up to your expectations" Li Ke muttered his words a few times, and then said to his father.
"Okay, okay, okay, let's go see your mother and Qing'er, and say goodbye to them" Li Shimin happily said hello to Li Kelian three times, and then pointed to Yang Lian and Li Qing, who was held in Cheng Zimo's arms.
"Mother, son, daughter-in-law is not filial, I can't serve by your side in the future, take care of yourself" came to Yang Lian, Li Ke knelt in front of her with Erya, kowtowed to her three times and cried to her.
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law kneeling in front of her, Yang Lian couldn't say a word except for tears, and the eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly stepped forward to support her when he saw this, and his eyes were moist.
"Big brother, they all say that the eldest brother is like a father, all these years, thank you, without you always worrying about me, there would be no me today, and I will make you proud of me in the future" Li Ke saw that his mother did not speak, he came to Li Chengqian, knelt heavily on the ground, and kowtowed to Li Chengqian three times while talking.
"Third child, get up, our brother will see the outside when he says this, and you don't have to go later, you are now the pride of your brother, go over there and be careful, if you can't get over, send someone to send a letter back, my father and I, as well as the entire Datang are your most solid backing, remember, take care of yourself, you must take care of yourself" Li Chengqian pulled up Li Ke, patted him on the shoulder, and kept instructing.
And just as their brothers were talking, Erya picked up Li Qing in Zimo's arms, cried and said sorry to Li Qing, and fed her daughter once again.
But people always have to be different, Li Ke and Li Wei, Li Yue, Li Chenghei, Li Tai who came to send him off, said goodbye, and repeatedly told Li Su to honor his mother for him, after listening to the words of the eldest brother, he pulled up Erya, glanced at his sleeping daughter, and handed over his daughter to his sister-in-law in reluctance.
Then took Erya to Li Shimin and knelt down again, "Dad, Mother, Mother, let's go, you promise more, big brother, we're leaving" After speaking, Li Ke took Erya and kowtowed to them three times, and then got up and walked to the team without looking back.
As soon as Li Ke left, snow fell again in Chang'an, which had already begun spring, and Li Shimin and the others watched Li Ke's convoy disappear into the distance before going back.
