Shangdang County Palace.

The eldest grandson Wuji was dressed in a simple plain cotton robe and half lying in a soft chair. He closed his eyes and meditated, trying to meditate, but his mind was chaotic.

For a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who still couldn't calm down, simply opened his eyes and got up.

I walked out without changing my clothes.

"Father, where are you going, it's getting dark."

"Go to the Emperor." The eldest grandson Wuji blurted out, and he was stunned for a moment after saying it.

The eldest grandson said strangely, "Father is going like this?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the plain cotton robe on his body, turned around and went back to the house to change into a purple official robe, and then went out.

Changle Palace.

In the past few days, Li Shimin has been holding the American fiefdom of the United States that he collected from Zhang Chao, and he is studying the topography of the Jinshan Peninsula and the vicinity of Jinshan Bay over and over again, imagining where to land, where to build the first fortress to stand on, where to reclaim the cultivated land, and where to graze and raise horses.

Wu sat not far from him, holding the child in one hand, American Gong Li Hong. In one hand, he was writing with a pen, and on the paper in front of him, the names of the materials were listed one after another.

From horses, to cattle, and even chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs, and sheep, I don't know how many are listed for livestock alone.

In addition, she also listed many craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, craftsmen from all walks of life such as papermaking, shipbuilding, and car making.

For Li Shimin, what he is staring at is the terrain and geography, where it is suitable for cultivation and where it is suitable for defense.

For Wu Meiniang, she is more concerned about how this team will survive and develop after it arrives in the Americas. It's not just about fighting and killing, it's not easy to stay away from the Middle Earth Datang.

Even if there were supplies, it would only happen once in years.

After thinking about it, she added a doctor. Not only must there be a doctor who heals people, but also a veterinarian who treats all kinds of livestock. Even if it is a doctor who treats people, he has to bring some from each department, considering the risks on the road, etc., and he is ready to bring a few more doctors from each department.

Fortunately, the emperor and Zhang Chao were not bad to them, this time it was not a real exile, otherwise they would not have been allowed to bring a population of 20,000, let alone let them ask to bring all kinds of craftsmen, livestock, seeds, supplies, etc.

The emperor really let them go to the Americas to establish a state, instead of being exiled there and waiting to die.

"Remember to bring more books." The more Li Shimin looked, the more he liked the Jinshan Peninsula, which was suitable for a foothold at the beginning, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once you have established your footing, you can go all the way down the bay and into the great plains of the river valley. It was a great plain of 1,500 miles from north to south, bigger than a Guanzhong Plain.

This place is bordered by the sea and mountains, and is surrounded by tall mountain ranges, just like a country of abundance, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In less than 100 years, the United States will completely control this plain, and then it will be able to dominate the United States based on it.

He looked up and saw his son Li Hong sleeping in Wu's arms, and Wu was still listing all kinds of things to bring.

He reminded with a smile.

"By the way, and books." Wu Meiniang grinned. I forgot that books are more important than craftsmen.

"First of all, I brought all kinds of medical books, then all kinds of agricultural books and construction and engineering books, and then Confucian classics and Taoist classics. You don't need to bring Buddhist scriptures, and you can bring fewer poetry books. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, bring along the compilation and collection issued by several major newspapers such as the Half Moon Talk and the Times in previous years." ”

"Even though I brought more books, tools, etc., and few gold and silver treasures, I couldn't eat or drink, and it was useless to get extravagant things over there. We are not going to enjoy the elderly, but to expand the territory and make a comeback. ”

Wu Meiniang nodded, took the pen and continued to write.

"Your Majesty, the king of Shangdang asks to see you."

Li Shimin was slightly surprised.

What is the eldest grandson Wuji coming to do?

is about to leave, and now Li Shimin's mentality has changed a lot, at least he doesn't hate Zhang Chao, Cheng Qian, and even the eldest grandson Wuji so much now.

He had understood Zhang Chao earlier, but he had always been haunted by the betrayal of the eldest grandson Wuji. In his opinion, it is normal for Zhang Chao to betray him.

But the eldest grandson Wuji also betrayed him, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"Let him come."

Putting down the map, Li Shimin sat up straight and waited for the eldest grandson Wuji.

Once, the eldest grandson Wuji was the person he trusted the most, and even more trusted by him than Zhang Chao. They are both kings and ministers, brothers, friends, and relatives.

I'm about to leave, and all the past grievances can be let go.

After that, we will never see each other again.

"Meet the Emperor!" The eldest grandson Wuji entered the palace, please bow in peace.

"Auxiliary, come and sit."

The eldest grandson Wuji felt the estrangement from the emperor, and his expression was a little lonely.

"Your Majesty will leave Beijing next month." The eldest grandson Wuji didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well, when the weather is warm, I will leave Beijing, go to Yangzhou first, and then take a boat down to Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Qinzhou, through Linyi, Funan, Vietnam, and then to Lijiapo at the southern end of the Golden Peninsula. Then, according to Zhang Chao's statement, the fleet turned east and sailed through Sri Buddha, then Zhang Tiegun's fiefdom on the island of Java, and then through the Spice Islands, sailing across the vast ocean, and then reaching the Americas. ”

"The vast sea, tens of thousands of miles away, it will be difficult to go." The eldest grandson Wuji sighed.

Li Shimin smiled.

"I'm looking forward to it, this Central Plains, to be honest, is indeed very prosperous and powerful, and it looks like it's getting richer and stronger day by day, but I don't know it anymore. In this world, it will be inherited in the future, well, there are also Zhang Chao and other nobles. Anyway, this world is no longer my world, and it is useless to stay, so it is better to go to the Americas to have a leisure! ”

"Your Majesty has a good attitude."

Li Shimin suddenly sighed.

"I just don't want to be like the previous emperor and live in this North Palace until I am depressed and crazy. I'm afraid that one day I'll go crazy like the emperor, so it's better to leave. Auxiliary, you're definitely not here to see you off today, let's say, what do you have to say. ”

"Your Majesty is still so sharp, and the minister can't hide anything from Your Majesty." Eldest Sun Wuji felt as if he had returned to the past.

He no longer hid it at the moment, and told the many troubles in his heart.

From his reluctance to raise troops in order to protect the Tang Dynasty, to the struggle between Chengqian and Zhang Chao in order to protect him.

"I feel so powerless, I'm not Zhang Chao's opponent at all."

"The most helpless thing is that the emperor doesn't trust me."

Li Shimin only smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Zhang Chao, no matter what I say, I can't see through it. said that he was a traitor, but he did not show it. said that he was loyal, but how could he be a loyal minister like him who led troops to oust the emperor from power. I can't grasp this person, he is not like other courtiers, let the emperor pinch him. Zhang Chao, no one wants to control him. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji admitted that the emperor was right, Zhang Chao was such a person who always held the hole cards in his hand and refused to be charged.

"The initiative is in his hands, which really annoys you. But there is nothing to be done about him. I was conceited and wise, but in the end, I was played by Zhang Chao, and finally forced to abdicate by him. ”

"Does Your Majesty think Zhang Chao will rebel in the future?"

"Maybe not, looking at what Zhang Chao did now, if Cheng Qian can tolerate him in the future, maybe he can also achieve a good story of the monarch and the minister knowing each other, I'm afraid that Cheng Qian will no longer be able to tolerate Zhang Chao in the future."

The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed, yes. Now Chengqian is twenty years old, but ten years later, twenty years later, Zhang Chao is only forty. Twenty years later, it's only sixty.

And the emperor is getting older, and he will definitely slowly become intolerant of having someone who can't control the power of the court.

"Zhang Wenyuan once said that he would only serve in the center for ten years, and then he would retire."

Li Shimin smiled, "If Zhang Wenyuan can really do it, maybe it will be a preservation strategy." I hope that Zhang Wenyuan will not be blinded by power. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is very worried. I don't know if Your Majesty knows about the overseas colonization plan proposed by Zhang Wenyuan recently? ”

"I've heard of some."

"Now it's time to launch the pilot, in the Red Sea."

·······

The eldest grandson Wuji was very worried, worried that once this overseas colonization was implemented, the situation in the Tang Dynasty would be more complicated in the future. Now the feudal aristocracy has formed a powerful force, which even surpasses the Guanlong military group during the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui dynasties.

And this overseas colonization, once implemented. At that time, the rich people with strong assets in the Tang Dynasty will also become the lords of overseas colonial territories. Even if it is a share of territory in the name of the company, the actual nature has not changed.

The nobles become lords, and the capitalists also have to become lords, they all have territory, they all have soldiers and horses, and it is a very dangerous thing no matter how you look at it.

It seems that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, but the eldest grandson Wuji always feels that this is like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, running very fast, but it is out of control.

"Auxiliary, now it seems that no one can stop the plan that Zhang Chao wants to implement. You see that even Fang Xuanling is supported in the cabinet, except for wooing Du Yan, I am afraid that no one will support you at all. And Cheng Qian listened to Zhang Chao's words more, and the Hanlin Academy around him was headed by Ma Zhou. On the side of the council, the president of the upper house is Wei Zheng, this person is also a person who can't say anything. ”

"So, auxiliary, since you know you can't change it, don't touch it with your head. No matter how hard the head is, it can't be harder than a stone. If it were you, I would definitely not be thinking about how to stop this plan now, but immediately go home and think about how to win over a few allies and grab a Red Sea territory first. ”

The emperor's words surprised the eldest grandson Wuji.

How else can it be done?

"Aren't you worried about overseas colonial territories, where there is territory and soldiers? Aren't you worried that Zhang Chao has more territory and more soldiers? Then you also participate, fight for territory, and recruit more soldiers. As long as you have enough strength, then you can talk to Zhang Chao on an equal footing. Otherwise, no matter how much you say, it's just like a mosquito buzzing in his ears. ”

Li Shimin can almost see some of Zhang Chao's plans now, he wants to restore the Zhou system, and to implement the feudal system, not a simple feudal system, but a real feudal country.

Look, today's vassal lords are still only able to support troops and half of the territorial taxes. But in the future, Zhang Chao will definitely find a way to let these lords have the right to govern the people and administer justice. When the time comes, the fiefdom will be a true state within a state.

He saw this, but he was powerless to stop it.

He didn't even have the heart to stop it, what he was thinking about now was to go to the Americas and build another Datang there.

But then again, he can go to the Americas, which is actually Zhang Chao's plan. Isn't the United States a feudal country under the Tang Dynasty's feudal system? Even a feudal state that went ahead of other fiefdoms in the imperial court.
