Volume 12 Complete Closure Chapter 35 Breaking the Ice
"It's time to get out of here! I just don't know when the next time I'll be back! Li Kuan stood in front of the gate of Chang'an City, the deep city gate behind him was like a monster's bloody mouth, he left directly without the slightest turn, he was no longer needed here, this is the heavenly family without relatives, everyone is planning the exchange of interests, and family affection is just a bargaining chip for the exchange of interests in their eyes! Except for a few people who are still carefully cherishing each other's feelings, the rest of them are just strangers with blood relations. Li Kuan didn't have much memory of this place, so he left alone, the summer sun made him feel very hot, but deep in his heart there was only a piece of cold. He handed over the formula of gunpowder and achieved the long-standing plan of Li Er and the eldest grandson Wuji.
It's not that he retreated, but he figured it out, in this era of the supremacy of imperial power, anyone takes that position very seriously, and he is an outlier in this era, maybe the power himself has thought about it, but he really can't imagine how to deal with this troubled world after he really ascends to that position, there is no other end than the chaos in the world. So it's better to do what you want to do, out of sight and out of mind.
A carriage, a horse, a big dog, Li Kuan walked out of Chang'an City with this belongings, no one saw them off, they were all out of the car, just like going out for an outing, no one knew when he would go back again.
But Li Kuan didn't notice that on the tower of the city gate, a tall figure stood there, looking at the carriage that was moving away. There was a hint of melancholy on his face: It's good to go! You can't look down on this muddy court, and only you are the one who can really see clearly. Everyone was captivated by interest and glitz, and was bent on climbing up. Only if you retreat bravely like this, maybe when you come back, it will be a different kind of world.
"Your Majesty...... His Royal Highness the King of Chu left like this? "The eldest grandson Wuji, who was dressed in a purple robe, couldn't believe it, this King of Chu was really so free? This world is a huge temptation for anyone, although Li Kuan, the king of Chu, was not established as the prince by Li Er, but he was also a strong contender for the throne, so he actually left like this? Could it be that he really doesn't look down on the supreme throne?
"It's good to leave and leave, this court is not garbled enough? Family, Wenchen. The generals are all huddled together. They are all afraid that their own interests will be damaged, and they are all thinking about how to protect their own interests, who has ever thought about the interests of the entire empire? Li Er snorted coldly. The words that came out were terrifying, as an emperor, to say such a thing was obviously very dissatisfied with the civil and military officials. But all of this is not something that can be reversed all at once.
"Your Majesty......" The eldest grandson Wuji was sincerely afraid, Li Er said this kind of thing to him, which really made his heart break out in a cold sweat. Is this a knock on him? Although he thought that the eldest grandson's family could dominate the temple and rank above tens of thousands of people under one person, he never thought of doing anything detrimental to the Tang Dynasty.
"Auxiliary, you know. What have I been thinking about all these years? How difficult is it for the people of this world? Why did we still love the people when we fought the world, and now we are sitting on the throne. But he is so harsh on the people? Li Er sighed, once upon a time, he didn't persecute the people when he was fighting the world. But just a few years later, the love of these people completely changed? They all thought about how to reap the benefits of their own homes and compete with the people. There are even a few gentlemen in the family. It will also fish in the country. At the beginning, all the original intentions of these people to fight the country were thrown out of the clouds, can interests really make a person completely become so mad?
"Your Majesty...... The old minister is terrified! The eldest grandson Wuji knelt down, he himself knew that for the benefit of the eldest grandson's family over the years, he didn't know how many people had been persecuted by his order, although it was not to ruin the family, but it was also in the fish and meat township. Now among the internal and external troubles faced by the imperial court, his eldest grandson's family must have such a share. The external troubles are now almost eliminated by Li Kuan, a kid who runs around, only a few small countries in the Western Regions are still surviving, and the rest are not to be worried, but the internal worries are the most deadly. The disaster of the family, and the pampering and arrogance of Xungui are enough to make Datang fall into a deep quagmire, and the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and now it seems that it is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and after it develops and grows, it is a fatal calamity.
"Auxiliary, we have come this way, have I ever treated you badly? Why would the eldest grandson's family do such a thing? For the sake of a mine, can a family be cornered? Have to sell the mine to you at a low price? "Li has a lot of things in the second hand, but he won't take out a lot of things directly, because the court is full of intertwined relationship networks, and no one can escape from it, even if it is those old masters and old scholars who only read the books of sages and sages, who doesn't have a little property? Under each other's care, they are also deep in mud. The whole court was a huge mud pit, and none of the people in it were clean.
"Your Majesty...... The old minister is not strict in discipline! But there are a lot of omissions, these people also followed Lao Chen all the way, and when he really wants to deal with them, Lao Chen will always be unbearable in his heart! Only to secretly compensate the people who have been hurt! "The eldest grandson Wuji did things quite slowly, and he didn't do it too radically, unlike those little Xungui families, who were really like vampires squeezing the blood and sweat of the people. Li Er was ready to deal with it this time, but it happened that the remnants of King Xi ran out to make trouble. This action, which had been preparing for a thunderous blow for a long time, had to be temporarily slowed down, because if he did so, it would definitely put many of the little noble families in danger, and maybe someone would betray at that time. At that time, the remnants of the king of Xi, which could have been easily suppressed, became difficult again.
"That's it, since you have been up to your own fault, then you have to give me an answer, how can you restrain these nobles from being so arrogant and lascivious!" Li Er gave the eldest grandson Wuji a big problem.
"Obey the order!" The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down and promised.
Li Kuan didn't know what was going on behind him, he was slow along the way, really like a rich boy who went out, the horses stepped leisurely on the land on the official road, the wisps of dust were shaken, and there was no destination, so he walked with the reins, just like when he returned to Beijing from Yangzhou alone. The carriage followed, and the three people in the carriage didn't know where they were going, but they knew where this person was, and they followed him.
"Let's go to the East China Sea and see the sea! It's a great time to go out to sea! Cui Yufei finally said the first sentence after walking out of Chang'an City for half an hour. It was also the first sentence that the four of them said after they came out. Li Kuan drove the carriage leisurely on the wheel of the carriage all the way, looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, and did not feel the slightest impatience.
He was looking through the information in his mind at this time to see where there were the resources he wanted, and he didn't think about it in Datang, because except for those places with high mountains and dense forests and inaccessible places, otherwise there would be owners everywhere, and these lands belonged to the owner's land, so the underground mineral deposits also had owners, and Li Kuan had no way to absorb them directly, so he could only spend money to buy land and then deal with it, but this also needed to be mined. Therefore, it is destined to be difficult to make a difference in the territory of Datang, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you can only go to foreign countries to see if the crooked nuts have the ability to exploit these precious underground resources, if they can't mine then they have to laugh and accept, lest they be beaten to death by a star and striped country that habitually interferes in the internal affairs of other countries in the future generations.
"Want to see the sea? So let's go to the East China Sea first! After Li Kuan heard Cui Yufei's words, he also decided to go to the East China Sea to see the sea first, anyway, it will take a long time, Xuanzang's guy can go to Tianzhu for more than ten years, and he has lived in Tianzhu for nearly ten years, so it won't take long for him to go to the Middle East, after all, that monk can walk by foot, and he has a carriage! It's only been seven years now, and it's only been two or three years when I come back! At that time, Tubo can also harvest!
"Master, Tianxiang also wants to see the sea!" Xiao Tianxiang is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, an innocent age. Even compliments are so direct, the two of them are just Li Kuan's maids, and their identities are invisibly bowed in front of Cui Yufei, and now they come out together, they must get along for a long time, and the first thing to do is to ease the relationship, but it is difficult to wipe off face, I have to say that they are not ready, not to mention the red sleeves, they have always been held by everyone, even if they are maids by Li Kuan's side, they are not treated at all, so they have no consciousness of serving people. What about Tianxiang? Li Kuan has always been spoiled, and he has not absolutely been in the habit of being a maid, Cui Yufei came back with Li Kuan this time, but she was alone, and her maid did not bring one.
So the atmosphere in the carriage has always been very dull, I dare not say that it is difficult to breathe, but it also makes people feel at a loss. Until Cui Yufei broke the silence, and this sentence became the first chisel to break the ice.
"That is, the last time I went to sea with my master, I left us on an island and were stuffy for several months!" Red Sleeves made his voice heard by crusading against Li Kuan.
"You've followed him to sea?" Cui Yufei asked, she only knew about Li Kuan's previous experience, and when she heard Red Sleeves mention it, she couldn't help asking.
"The master is amazing, he built a lot of big ships in Cangzhou, and then went to the Japanese slave country to fight!" Tianxiang said. (To be continued.) )
