Chapter Eighty-Six: Three Thoughts
At the beginning of 808 in the Gregorian calendar, this period may be the most idle day for Li Tianhao in ten years. In terms of national affairs, there is Wei Song, military affairs is Brooks, and in terms of people's livelihood, Lixius, Bodeka, Shewuda and others are assisted, and it can be said that there is nothing to do except for important affairs that need him to deal with. However, Li Tianhao himself did not show as much diligence as before, for a simple reason: he had no goals.
Li Tianhao's energy and execution beyond ordinary people before came completely from the desire for revenge, and it was the bitter hatred of the powerful Yaji Empire that supported his spiritual world. Now that the Yaki Empire has fallen, the Yaki royal family has been cut off, and Li Tianhao has taken revenge, and suddenly he has lost the goal of his struggle. At this time, Li Tianhao began to recall his original dream, which was to lead the Li family merchant group across the sea and establish a maritime commercial trade route.
But now that he is the Prince of Palche, the husband of Her Majesty the Queen, if he wants to return to a carefree life at sea, I am afraid that the Queen will not agree, and even his own large group of brothers will not agree. This life with no goal and no way out made Li Tianhao feel depressed, and people became lazy.
To this end, he spent his free time practicing swords with Alam, playing chess with MΓΌller, and having fun with his two ladies, Queen Alfrette and Viscountess Tia.
That night, he and Tia were lying in bed, and Tia said softly, "Are you unhappy about anything lately?" β
"Why do you ask?" Li Tianhao asked without looking around.
Tia leaned her head into his arms and said, "It's not just me, Your Majesty has also felt it, I guess those ministers have felt it." You're in a completely different state than before, like you've lost your soul. β
Li Tianhao sighed and said, "Yes." You're right, after the destruction of Yaki. I felt like I had lost my goal and didn't know what to do next. β
"I think the root of your distress is that you don't know whether you should go back to be your pirate leader, or stay here as a prince."
Li Tianhao smiled bitterly and said, "Your mouth is still so poisonous, even if you are right." β
Tia turned over and rested her head on Li Tianhao's chest, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the dignified Li Tianhao would fall into this kind of trouble." Then I'll ask you. Do you think you can go back to sea and be a free-spirited maritime merchant? β
"I can't."
"Isn't that the end of it? Knowing that there is no turning back, it is better to take the current road well. The Palcian country has just destroyed Yaki, and the remnants of Yaki are still ready to move, are Yaki's slave owners really willing to accept your reforms? There's so much more you have to do to revolutionize slavery in Palci, is it really appropriate for you to slack off now? β
Li Tianhao was silent for a while, and said, "You are right, but I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart, and I can't lift my spirits." β
"Are you homesick?"
Li Tianhao pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." I've been out for more than nine years. My sister is twenty-seven, and this time Elda rushed back to marry her, but I couldn't go back to her wedding, and my mother hadn't seen her for nine years. β
Tia giggled and said, "You're still the big hero who destroyed Yaki, it's so dull in terms of human feelings!" Wouldn't it be better for you to fix a letter and ask Elda to take them both over? He has become your brother-in-law, can you still do this little thing? β
Li Tianhao shook his head and said: "You don't know the relationship, my mother's family has rules, and men go out to wander." The woman keeps the family business at home. So my mother has never stepped out of her hometown since she was born. It's the same with my sister, and I can't let them come. β
Tia bit her finger and thought for a while before she said, "Then you can only go back to see them, this matter is a little too troublesome, but if you think about it carefully, you only need to settle two places to make the trip." β
"Well, this first place is naturally Alfreit."
"Not bad. Of course, Alfrett's sister can't leave Palci as the queen, but she must be reluctant to let you go, and she is afraid that you will never return. It's not too difficult to solve this matter, as long as I go back with you and leave Yaohong by her side. β
Li Tianhao listened and nodded. Tia was indeed a smart woman. His son Li Yaohong is what he is going to cultivate as the heir of the Li family's business group, of course, it is impossible to give it up, and Tia, as a mother, will not give up her son. With Tia's supervision, Li Tianhao couldn't help but come back. He smiled and said, "What about the second thing?" β
Tia scratched his nose with her fingers and said with a smile: "Of course, you go to settle your uncle Lord Wei Song, and someone must control the political situation for you when you are away." β
Li Tianhao frowned and said, "This is difficult. My uncle is a man of God, and if he hadn't supported me all these years, I wouldn't have been able to get revenge so quickly. But this person has a problem, that is, oil and salt do not enter, and he likes to make problems difficult for others. If I had begged him for this, he would have put up a stand and slammed me along. When the time comes, I will be in a dilemma, I have to guess his mind to satisfy him, or the matter will be endless. β
"Are you holding back because of this? I can't see that you are so afraid of your uncle, you have been with him for so long and night, you can feel his temper clearly, are you still afraid that you will not be able to catch his weakness this time? I'll beat the side drum for you on Sister Alfrite's side, and you'll settle it yourself on your uncle's side! That's it! Tia said as Abin scratched Li Tianhao's ribs a few times with her hand.
Li Tianhao hurriedly turned sideways, then reached out and grabbed Tia's wrist, and said with a smile: "How can you force others to do things so hard?" Promise me one thing, and I'll go. β
"Promise you what?"
"Give me a bunch of more children."
Tia took a sip and said, "Your Royal Highness, who is so faceless." I advise you to stop thinking about this first, if I am really pregnant with a child, can I still accompany you across the ocean to Paz? β
Tia still wanted to go on, but her mouth had been tightly gagged by Li Tianhao. (To be continued.) )
