From Lingnan to Chang'an by sea, there are two roads to choose from, one is from the South China Sea, into the Bohai Sea, through the Liaodong Peninsula into the inland river, upstream, to Luoyang and then through the Yellow River, Weishui upstream, is Chang'an.

If it is according to the purpose of Zhao Chen's trip, then this road should also be chosen, the Shandong drought, just through Liaodong into the center, is the center of the drought, the province to get Chang'an, and then return the same way, from the dry road into Shandong.

Zhao Chen didn't know what those people in the court were thinking, but one thing is for sure, if he really did this, he would definitely be a man of civil and military affairs, and he would probably wake up laughing when he dreamed.

Therefore, Zhao Chen chose the second path!

Starting from the South China Sea through the East China Sea, to the mouth of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou, into the waters of the Yangtze River, and finally into Luoyang, by the Yellow River, Weishui upstream, and finally to Chang'an.

The wind is beautiful, the seagulls fly in flocks, and the sea breeze blows, which makes people feel refreshed.

Li Chengqian has changed since he got on the boat, and when he was in Nanfuzhou, he still pretended to be a prince everywhere, but in the past few days on the ship, he has no restraints, and he has suddenly reverted to his old ways, and has completely become a child's heart.

and Cheng Chumo are simply a pair of living treasures, Cheng Chumo is a complete miser, and he values the treasures on the ship more than anything else, while Li Chengqian is very curious.

Especially, after seeing those tall and big corals, Li Chengqian's eyes were straight, and he asked Cheng Chu for it with a dead face, and Cheng Chumo would immediately put on a posture of wanting no corals, but a life!

Zhao Chen let the two of them fight. Carrying everyone on his back, he sat in the bow of the boat. Open the letter that Li Er gave him. This letter was originally written by Li Chengqian after he returned, along with Li Er's holy decree. Together, they were handed over to him.

However, for so many days, Zhao Chen kept it in his arms and didn't look at it, until the treasure ship left the South China Sea and entered the East China Sea, Zhao Chen opened the letter with a complicated heart.

When I opened the envelope, I was greeted by a beautiful flying white body, this flying white body. Li Er is the best at the entire Datang!

Looking down at the letterhead, the first sentence at the beginning of the letter was: Since I started the army in Jinyang...

Seeing such a beginning, Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, his eyes continued to look down, and when he looked at it, there seemed to be a picture in front of him, Li Er was drunk, lying on the couch, nagging and narrating to him. The past of his life.

From Jinyang to the southern and northern wars, the battle with Dou Jiande, the bloody battle with Wang Shi, and the rebellion against Liu Heimin. One thing at a time, from raising troops to taking Chang'an City, the Tang Dynasty was established. Then he ascended the throne as the emperor and met Zhao Chen by the Weishui Bridge!

But the Xuanwumen incident. Not a word!

When Zhao Chen didn't read this letter, he had thought about many things. Li Er would persuade him to go back as an elder, or as a king, to make some big things to him, but he didn't expect Li Er to write him such a letter.

This doesn't seem to be a letter, it looks like a resume from Li Er, half a life, fighting in the south and the north, bleeding, and almost shrouded in horse leather, but in the end he survived!

Throughout the article, Li Er was recounting his past, but he didn't say a word about other things, such as his departure!

After reading the letter, Zhao Chen was slightly stunned for a moment with the expression on his face, and then set the entire letter on fire and sprinkled it in the sea!

The content of the letter is a little inexplicable, if, combined with Zhao Chen's words in the Taiji Hall when he came out of Qinling, the meaning of Li Er's letter will not be difficult to understand.

Just when Zhao Chen and others drove the treasure boat, set off from the South China Sea, and entered the Yangtze River through Yangzhou through the East China Sea, a fast horse galloped into Chang'an City in the evening, and then handed over an 800-mile expedited letter to Li Er's hands.

"Bypassed Liaodong!" Li Er opened the secret letter, looked at the contents on it with a frown, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath, frowned and said.

Zhao Chen bypassed Liaodong and went directly from the Yangtze River to Chang'an, such a result, Li Er seemed to have expected it, but when it really happened, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart!

It's already autumn, and hundreds of thousands of people in Shandong are waiting for the imperial court to allocate grain!

"Second brother!" Li Er was in the Ganlu Hall at this time, and there was the eldest grandson beside him, seeing Li Er's thoughtful look, the eldest grandson on the side couldn't help but speak.

"I have thought of this result a long time ago!" When Li Er heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at the eldest grandson, and said: "Now, this kid is finally willing to come back, then it's better than anything!" ”

When the eldest grandson on the side heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just as Li Er said. Now, if Zhao Chen can come back, it is better than anything, as for disaster relief, since they are willing to come back, these things can naturally be said when they come back.

The secret letter was sent by Duan Zhixuan and sent to Chang'an, which not only stated the route of Zhao Chen and others, but also gave a detailed explanation of the treasure ship and the goods carried in the treasure ship.

Li Er looked at the goods described above, and couldn't help but be speechless, and said to the eldest grandson: "Look, this kid went overseas and pulled a whole boatload of treasures, and now he is much richer than me!" ”

When the eldest grandson saw what Li Er said, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the goods on it, and immediately followed Li Er to speak, this shipload of goods, if it is pulled to Chang'an, it is really much richer than the emperor.

"Second brother, if you don't wait for this kid to come back, the second brother ordered this kid to hand over a little bit to the treasury!" The eldest grandson looked at the stunned Li Er seriously, and opened his mouth to suggest.

Li Er, who was looking down at the secret letter, immediately opened his mouth and laughed when he heard the words of the eldest grandson, and then pointed to the serious eldest grandson and said: "Guanyin and the maid Xiu came to make fun of me, I am no longer greedy, and I have not yet reached the point of blackmailing that kid!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly put away the secret letter, and Li Er couldn't help laughing at himself: "People have that hot air balloon, it's too late for me to coax him now!" Otherwise, if one of them is unhappy, and then leave Chang'an in that hot air balloon, wouldn't I be at a big loss! ”

After talking to the eldest grandson, Li Er sat behind the imperial case, put a pen to Luoyang, and issued a secret decree, ordering Luoyang to urgently allocate a number of ships since receiving the secret order!

Duan Zhixuan's secret letter clearly stated that the treasure ship built by Zhao Chen had a very deep draft and could not enter the Yellow River at all, so when he arrived in Luoyang, he could only go directly to Chang'an by replacing the treasure ship with a number of small boats.

Li Er didn't want Zhao Chen to go to Luoyang, and in order to transfer those goods, he would delay more time in Luoyang, so he took advantage of Zhao Chen's treasure ship to mobilize ships in advance before he arrived in Luoyang, so as to avoid the trouble of looking for ships at that time.

The eldest grandson watched Li Er write this will, and couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his eyes, Zhao Chen's treasure ship this time was all private, and the emperor would not cause opposition from the court if he did this.

"Don't worry, Guanyin!" Li Er and the eldest grandson have been married for many years, and with a look from the eldest grandson, Li Er understood the eldest grandson's worries, so he didn't wait for the eldest grandson to speak, and explained: "Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all eager for this kid to arrive in Chang'an as soon as possible, I do this because I don't want Zhao Chen to delay more time in Luoyang!" ”

Li Er wrote the will, and immediately rushed to Luoyang for eight hundred miles.

Luoyang stayed behind Hou Junji, and after receiving Li Er's secret decree, the expression on his face was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he smiled inexplicably, and then secretly ordered to mobilize a number of ships in Luoyang.

The boat entered the Yangtze River, chopped the waves all the way, entered the Grand Canal smoothly, and went straight to Luoyang.

Zhao Chen stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the green willows on both sides of the canal, passing through the choppy river, and suddenly fell silent. This river connects the north-south road, and all subsequent dynasties have relied on this river, but because of this river, Emperor Yang has borne an infamy through the ages!

I really don't know, if such an ending can happen again, will Emperor Yang still build this Grand Canal?

The Grand Canal connects Luoyang, and the treasure ship flows up and arrives in Luoyang in a few days. Before arriving at the wharf in Luoyang, from a distance, Zhao Chen saw the scene of a hundred sails at the wharf in Luoyang from the telescope.

"What's wrong?" Li Chengqian, who was on the side, saw Zhao Chen's mouth. The change on his face, his face changed suddenly, he asked in his mouth, raised the telescope in his hand, and looked ahead.

As a result, this look is the same as Zhao Chen, and he can't help but take a breath!

At this time, the huge wharf in Luoyang was crowded with ships, and it was really spectacular.

"Could something have happened in Luoyang?" Seeing such a scene, Zhao Chen immediately ordered to slow down and slow down. This situation is too abnormal, unless something big happens in Luoyang.

As soon as these words fell, I saw a fast horse on the bank of the river galloping over, and from a distance towards the treasure boat, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, order Chang'an to wait, change to a small boat, and enter Beijing in a few days!" ”

"It's my father!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Zhao Chen beside him and said.

"Your Majesty is really thoughtful!" When Zhao Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, looked at Li Chengqian, and said with a smile.

Since Li Er had already requisitioned these ships, he would enjoy this privilege for a while!

The requisitioned boats are all flat-bottomed boats running in inland rivers, which have shallow drafts and fast speeds, and are most suitable for traveling in inland rivers.

Hou Junji has been waiting on the dock for a long time, Zhao Chen's current identity is not what it used to be, it is not just as simple as a Chang'an waiter, otherwise with his identity, there is no need to stay at the dock.

What's more, on the ship this time, there is also His Royal Highness the Prince!

Zhao Chen and Hou Junji met for the first time, and after getting off the boat, they exchanged a few words of greeting, watching Hou Junji and Li Chengqian chatting happily with each other, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mind!

These two are the two of them who joined forces to create Li Er's rebellion! (To be continued......)
