The spring breeze blew the weeping willows on the bank of the river, the emerald green leaves swayed in the wind, and the long willow branches drooped, rippling on the water. The turquoise river flows quietly, has long since faded the frozen scene of winter, the murmuring water reflects the parting faces of the people on the shore, countless people here to bid farewell to relatives, friends, break off the weeping willows by the bridge, to the people who are about to leave, wish them a safe journey.

A huge ship was moving slowly through the river, and there were no other ships around it, this ship was too large, and there were several large ships of the Five Teeth around it to protect it. This situation makes other ships reluctant to get closer and take a look. On the five-toothed ship, a group of soldiers in iron armor, holding spears and horses in their hands, stood on the ship with expressionless faces, although the ship was bumpy and bumpy, but they seemed to have taken root under their feet, just like that.

On the deck of the great ship, there were three things that looked like chairs, but not very much, and beside it there was a low table with fresh fruit, a small teapot, and three or four cups. A young man in a gorgeous robe lay on his back on the chair, basking in the sun comfortably. On either side of him, on the other two chairs were a woman in a palace dress of emerald green and bright red, who did not lie lazily like the young man, but sat upright, constantly busy, and the delicate girl in emerald green gently plucked a crystal-like grape from the plate on the low table, and gently pinched it with her slender fingers, and sent it into the young man's mouth. And another woman in red. His eyes sparkled with indissoluble affection, looking at the two of them.

That's right. Li Kuan is back, back to the land of Datang. With a big ship. There were only thirty or fifty sailors and soldiers, rowing this big boat, and sailed directly into the inland river of the Tang Dynasty. On the first day that his ship appeared, it was reported by local officials along the Datang coast, so Li Er, who was all over Datang, learned about this big ship of unknown origin in the fastest time, and guessed that its owner was Li Kuan. The big Li Zi Flag, as well as the hideous collision horn on the bow of the ship, Li Er is very familiar with such a ship, because the drawings of such a ship are kept in Chang'an City. Not only that, but the Ministry of Industry is even working on replicating such ships. Since the second year of Zhenguan, after so many years, a lot of results have been achieved. Li Er knew that such a design was the ingenuity of the master behind Li Kuan, at least he had never seen such a ship elsewhere, and the ramming angle on the bow of the ship was not comparable to the lever of the five-tooth ship. So at the first time, he suspected that this was Li Kuan's bastard boy coming back, and when the big ship approached the shore of Yangzhou, countless officials were already waiting on the shore. Waiting to meet this prince.

So Li Kuan made a high-profile return all the way, and his big ship attracted countless eyeballs along the way, and countless merchants carefully docked their merchant ships to the shore and carefully observed this giant machine. One ship occupies almost half of the channel, and the other ships are unable to move normally. But to see such a big ship, everyone felt that it was not a loss. At least later, when with friends, there is capital to brag about. This guy is really too big to see the end. It's twice as tall as the five-tooth ship. On the river, the whole river was occupied, and there was no place for other boats to stop. All of them consciously learned exaggerated embellishments at this time.

Li Kuan's return, or such a high-profile, the news really can't be hidden, so this news spread all over Chang'an City in a short period of time, and everything that should be known and what should not be known is known, the prince who has disappeared for more than half a year is now back, and he is coming back from the other side of the distant sea, this time he conquered Goryeo and brought back a gift that everyone did not expect - the ashes of the former Sui soldiers. This time, in the Goryeo King City, under the roaring explosion, countless heroic spirits were able to rest in peace, because they returned to the hot land of their homeland.

Some people are happy and some are sad, but those who are close to Li Kuan are overjoyed, this kid is really too bastard, he is so happy to go out and play alone, he doesn't bring them. Be sure to give him a treat when you come back. This is what Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin, as well as their five sons, are thinking now. Of course, it's more about the hot eyes, this guy took down the Goryeo that His Majesty wanted to conquer the most without saying a word, such a big credit, it is really eye-catching. He is already a king, and there is no seal, what should I do? Therefore, Cheng Yanjin gloated with three points, and wanted to see the emperor's face when he saw the King of Chu, which should be very exciting. Of course, he will never say this, although this guy is straightforward on the surface, but there are definitely a lot of flowers.

Of course, there are joyful and resentful, such as the person who is still above the tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, and the guy who lives in the East Palace, who is losing his temper and throwing a teacup at this time. A delicate white porcelain tea set, depicted with a magnificent peony pattern, but now it is a fragment of a place, and Li Chengqian's face is gloomy like a stormy sky. "This guy, actually ......" Li Chengqian couldn't help but be angry, originally thought that Li Kuan left, this is a good thing, the entire court is left with only himself performing, and all the ministers of the court can only support themselves One way to choose, in the past half a year, he jumped up and down, and tried his best to make the ministers of the court and the central government gradually get close to him. But when the news came, everyone returned to a neutral attitude, and even many people began to fall to Li Kuan's side, the most distinctive was the group of generals, except for his old father-in-law Hou Junji, the rest were shouting for Li Kuan. A group of brainless martial artists, the people of the world are at ease, this is the precursor to the imminent opening of the prosperous era, you still think about those who fight and kill all day long, it is really ......

But what Li Chengqian hates the most is actually Li Kuan, this guy didn't show up early, didn't come back late, but he came back when he had seen the dawn of victory and felt that everything was going to get better and better, and he came back with destructive news, he conquered Goryeo, there is no longer that group of countries in the northeast that have repeatedly violated the border, and the current queen of Silla who now dominates the entire northeast peninsula has become Xue Wanche's daughter-in-law, such exciting news has turned all his previous efforts into vain.

Of course, it's not just Li Chengqian who is angry, but also the eldest grandson Wuji. This uncle of the country, who has a lot of furrows in his chest, wants to support his nephew to become the next master of this empire, but now everything has become confusing again. Although Li Kuan didn't seem to have much of a threat, he knew how important Li Kuan was in Li Er's eyes for the things he was doing. As a monarch with endless ambitions, Li Er does not value the ability to handle the government or the skill of balancing all parties, but the most intuitive: to open up the territory and contribute to the expansion of the Tang Dynasty. Because Li Er's vision is very high now, he sees farther, in that distant sky, there are countless rich lands, and the people there don't know the preciousness of these things, just let them be barren there, this is an absolutely impermissible behavior, so Li Er wants to conquer there, let endless food grow there, and use these grains to feed all the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Er now attaches great importance to Li Kuan's strong force, because only a strong force can lead the iron cavalry of Datang, fight all the way, kill all the way, and plant the banner of Datang in all places in this world, as long as there is a place where the sun shines, there is Datang. This is Li Er's biggest ambition in the depths of his heart, this world is so big, the answer he sought from scientists has opened Li Er's eyes, and he feels that he is only confined to the small land of the Central Plains, which is really a bit petty, so he wants more.

In the far west, under the barrier of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, where a powerful empire is rising, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is being established at this time, Muhammad officially went to meet their true god in the autumn of last year, and now his four disciples, the four great Alifa, are holding the Qur'an in one hand and the bloody sword in the other, and they are propagating their teachings, so that the land called West Asia and Europa is constantly at war, this is a very aggressive lion.

On the plateau, the young Songtsen Gampo has ended the war on the plateau at this time, unified the whole of Tibet, and is now in the honeymoon period with Nepal, and his queen is the princess of Nepal. On the plateau, a snow wolf is growing, and sooner or later it will become a fierce rival of Datang. In the north, in that barren land, stout and snow-white men were already carving out their homes, and in the cold wind of Siberia, a fighting nation began to form. So Li Er has a sense of urgency, these are Datang's neighbors. Although the northeast has solved the biggest problem, Goryeo, those natives are still a headache. They do not produce, but only live by hunting and gathering, and even many tribes still maintain the habit of drinking blood. These people will also often make mistakes, who let the Tang people grow enough food on the land, and there will be that kind of wine that makes people drink very comfortable.

It is precisely because of these various reasons that the successor Li Er wants most now is not someone who can handle internal affairs, or a person who can balance the countless turmoil and treachery in the court, but a person who can conquer Siyi and make all the enemies around him bow their heads. Li Chengqian absolutely could not take advantage of this point, and after Li Kuan went to the battlefield three years ago, he first fought against the Turks, exterminated Tuyuhun, and this time destroyed Goryeo, thus virtually obtaining the most favorable conditions. So the eldest grandson Wuji is very troubled, he has lost his trust in the past few days, and he said that he would go to Baitou together, but now he is bald halfway. Utterly clever.

In Chang'an City, a Taoist sighed lightly: "The wind is rising, and the catastrophe will start...... What is a Buddha and what is the Tao? Strike, strike, strike......" (To be continued......)
