"Are you sure you want to put down what you're doing and follow this king?"

"Everything that should be done has been done, and what can be done has been done, the people who remain are weaker than me in terms of ability, even if I am not there, they can continue to engage in these things, what I promised my father has been done, I have watched them run around with His Highness over the years, to be honest, I am also quite envious, it's time to go out and see the world!"

"Well, your majesty will not forget your merits!" Li Yuanjing sighed.

It is not surprising that the eldest grandson and Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, brothers, and Fang Yiai shouted that they wanted to go to sea with them.

But what really surprised him was that Du He, who had refused to show his head for several years, offered to go to sea with him this time.

Of course, Cheng Chumo was forcibly stopped by Cheng Zhijie, and only Cheng Chuliang was allowed to go to sea with him.

However, before going to sea, Cheng Chuliang was strongly warned by Cheng Zhijie that if he dared to follow Fang Yiai outside, then don't come back.

According to the historical process, Fang Xuanling should take Princess Gaoyang as his wife, although there is Li Yuanjing's body type in the middle, which causes Fang Xuanling to be vague in this matter and vaguely reject Li Shimin.

As a result, Li Shimin had an estrangement from Fang Xuanling, but this situation changed at the end of last year, that is, in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, because of one incident.

Similarly, according to the historical process, the eldest grandson empress, who was supposed to die in the tenth year of Zhenguan, deliberately set up a medical team to study and treat the counterpart.

Therefore, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun's body did not have any major problems, and this situation lasted for nearly two years, until August last year, when Empress Changsun's physical condition suddenly plummeted and she was bedridden.

Although the eldest grandson queen, who knew that the deadline had come, was reluctant, she still did her part for Datang before leaving.

first broke the rules and summoned Fang Xuanling, and then tried his best to persuade Li Shimin, and finally reconciled the relationship between their monarch and minister, and Fang Xuanling was reactivated, and similarly, it also set a marriage for Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang.

According to the original plan, the wedding should have been planned to be held at the beginning of this year, but because two months later, that is, in October of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson Empress died suddenly, and the marriage of Fang Yiai was delayed.

Fang Xuanling actually couldn't help it, as she got older and older, Princess Gaoyang's inferiority gradually appeared.

Although Li Shimin didn't think there was anything wrong with it, this is how the princess's illness came about, and the status of thinking was naturally different.

In desperation, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to persuade Li Shimin to postpone the marriage on the grounds that this marriage was too tortuous, and it was the eldest grandson that the queen had died, and the marriage should not be completed within three years.

The grief-stricken Li Shimin agreed to Fang Xuanling's proposal.

It has been eight years since Du Ruhui died in the Du family, although Li Shimin still thinks of Du Ruhui from time to time, but after all, people die like lights go out, and Li Shimin cannot take care of them all the time.

The two brothers of the Du family have almost relied on the old brothers to help them survive in the past few years, even so, it is undeniable that the Du family is getting farther and farther away from the upstarts.

On the contrary, it was Li Chengqian's performance that made Li Yuanjing a little pleased.

Maybe it's because I've experienced too much over the years and got used to the pressure of being alone.

So after the death of Empress Changsun, although his performance was not much better than Li Shimin, he did not completely give up on himself.

Although I made a lot of mistakes compared to before, these are all unintentional mistakes, and I can barely say that I have passed them.

And with the passage of time, Li Chengqian is also slowly returning to the right path, Li Shimin because he was reminded by Li Yuanjing and others a few years ago, so this time he did not let it go, and after adjusting his emotions, he enlightened Li Chengqian in his own way.

Judging from it now, the effect is not bad, at least Li Shimin is still very satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance.

Of course, there are many factors in this, for example, Li Chengqian has experienced more than in history, and the death of Empress Changsun has been delayed by two years, making Li Chengqian a little bigger and more receptive.

But one way or another, the past is gone.

For more than a year, Li Yuanjing has always stayed in Haizhou, and only returned to Chang'an when Empress Changsun died.

And his fleet was fully delivered at the beginning of this year.

According to the plan, it should have set sail at the beginning of the year, but Li Yuanjing was not satisfied with the current situation of the fleet.

Therefore, in the second half of last year, five newly built 3,000 stone and wood ships were transferred from the shipyard to join the fleet.

However, the five wooden ships have been modified after being redeployed, first by adding a layer of one-centimeter-thick armor to the outside to improve their self-protection ability, and secondly, by improving the power system.

At present, the steam engine technology mastered by Datang is also constantly innovating, and when Li Yuanjing built this fleet, he determined one thing, some technologies that were determined to be used on warships were not allowed to be used on those transport ships.

Therefore, improving the power system can directly increase the speed of the fleet.

"Tsk, Your Highness, don't say it, this boat is so comfortable to sit on!" As soon as Fang Yiai boarded the ship, he wandered around, looking at the entire battleship inside and out, of course he knew about the steel battleship.

But he was not qualified to board the Tang Emperor, and Li Yuanjing did not let him get on other ships, this was the first time he sat on these ships, of course, he experienced every ship.

"If you want me to say that the transport ship Cheng Chuliang is comfortable to sit on, although the speed is a little slower, but it is very stable on it." Cheng Chuliang said disdainfully.

"Do you want to be embarrassed? Where's the bright number at the return journey? Your father wouldn't dare to be so arrogant! The eldest grandson said speechlessly.

"This king can decide to name it Cheng Chuliang, or you will sit on your own boat and follow this trip?" Li Yuanjing pointed to the small wooden boat that was fixed to the boat.

Without any power system, it relies on manual rowing, with a crew of up to ten people, which is mainly used for travel between ships and for escape at critical moments.

"Hehe, it's all my own people anyway, why don't you talk about it......" Cheng Chuliang smiled, not daring to answer: "By the way, Your Highness, how long are we going out this time?" ”

Li Yuanjing thought for a while and said, "I don't know, maybe one or two years, maybe three or four years or more!" ”

"Won't I be an old man when I come back?" Cheng Chuliang's face sank, when he came back, the eldest brother would definitely get married, and his father wouldn't beat him anymore after he got married, right?

But the demand is always here, and Dad is embarrassed to beat the eldest brother again, so wouldn't he transfer all his anger to himself?

And the dad who has been holding back for a few years......

Cheng Chuliang suddenly felt a little terrifying, he had lost a lot of money in this circle......
