Chapter 30: Set Sail
The autumn wind swept and blew the fallen leaves on the ground, and on the streets of Chang'an City, the errand in charge of cleaning the streets began to be busy, looking at the rows of geese flying in the sky, they knew that autumn had come, and in a few months it would be a cold winter of heaven and earth. The sunset on the horizon, shining under the warm sunlight, makes people always want to take a lazy nap in this autumn afternoon, and they are tired and unable to open their eyes. Li Er sat in the study in the side hall of the Lizheng Palace, although it was autumn, it was still a little hot in this palace, and a basin was placed in the center of the room, and there was ice cubes in it that were slowly melting. "Someone, call the prince to me!" Li Er commanded to the attendants beside him. It has been a long time since I have been teaching the prince's homework, and this time has been for the end of the mess made by Li Kuan, the king of Chu, so that these things have been postponed.
"Erchen has seen his father!" Li Chengqian soon arrived in front of Li Er, after all, he lived in the East Palace, and they were all in this imperial city, and the exchanges were just a matter of moments. Wearing a bright yellow gown, Li Chengqian bowed and stood opposite Li Er.
"Cheng Qian, do you know what it means to be a monarch and a minister, a father, a son and a son? What are the Three Principles and Five Constants? Li Er didn't let Li Chengqian stand up straight, so he asked him to bow down and answer directly. There was a stern look on his face, obviously very serious.
"Qi Yu father, the so-called monarch and minister, the head of the three outlines, the so-called monarch is the minister, the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die! The father is the son, the husband is the wife, and the five principles are for: the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, the husband and wife, the brother, the friend! Li Chengqian replied, and the answer was meticulous. Obviously, he is very clear about this, and Li Chengqian has been trembling and walking on thin ice all these years. Because under him, there is this one, although acting unscrupulously. But it is the second prince who is brave and has a high prestige in the army, and there is also a third prince Li Ke, who is a man of all talents in civil and military affairs. Both of these are very big threats, so that he does not dare to relax a little, so that he yearns for that kind of unfettered freedom very much, so that he yearns for the life of the Hu people, and leads to the absurd thing that happened last year.
"It's good to know, Cheng Qian, you have to know that some things are not something that you can do at will. Even if we, as royalty, have the greatest power in the world, there are still many things to abide by, pay attention! Li Er's voice was cold to the bone, which made Li Chengqian's vest break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he let his father beat him like this. But he didn't do anything during this time!
"The son is confused, please make it clear to my father!" Li Chengqian hurriedly knelt down, he was really a little scared. As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, but with a powerful father and two brothers like wolves, Li Chengqian's life is not easy.
"Just remember! Go ahead! Li Er didn't say much. directly asked Li Chengqian to retreat.
Li Chengqian walked away, and Li Ercai withdrew his gaze and focused on the secret fold on the imperial case: "This is the most difficult thing in the world to distinguish." What a human heart! Hehe......" The voice was a little indignant and a little helpless!
Cangzhou. Changsun Chong rose from a pile of old papers, since the last time he brought a lot of grain from Jiangnan Province, which alleviated the anger of the people of Cangzhou. During this time, he began to sort out the county records since the establishment of the county in Cangzhou, and finally had a specific understanding of this place, and he knew the intricacies of countless large and small forces under his rule. Cangzhou was a barren at the beginning, there were not many people here in the past, but at the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, countless foreign populations gathered together in this area, and gradually formed a population settlement, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to set up counties here, it has been more than 100 years, during this period of countless wars, countless displaced people have settled here, because of the strangeness between each other, so it has caused a fierce folk customs, but also brought great pressure to the local security. What Changsun Chong has to do now is to balance these large and small forces, so that they can form a balance under their own control and not break out into sharp contradictions, which is what countless officials who have come here have been doing over the years.
"It's so hard to get! How can we sort out this piece of work, where large and small forces are intertwined, and there are countless contradictions between each other? "Now Changsun Chong feels very regretful, he knew that this Cangzhou would be like this, so he wouldn't come, even if this is a good opportunity to embarrass Li Kuan, but being an official here is really not something that ordinary people can handle, all the small forces have moved here one after another over the years, and they are very wary of other people, because in such a place, who can guarantee that the other party will really have no ill will towards themselves? As long as one trick is wrong, then their small collective will face a catastrophe, so even for the imperial court, these people maintain three points of suspicion and vigilance. This is also the reason why Cangzhou is difficult to govern, no one can predict whether these people will directly resist after they have formulated a pacification policy, or will remember his benefits directly after getting the benefits.
Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with Li Kuan, he is now swimming on the sea, a large ship in the sea breeze riding the wind and waves, one by one sailors flying and jumping between ships, training their ability to fight at sea, the slender rope between the ship is their bridge, their strong arms are their safety guarantee, only in the moment of getting up, firmly grasp these ropes, in order to ensure that they will not fall into the sea when jumping gang, so as to board the opposite ship, Victory in the battle can only be achieved after boarding the opposing ship.
A swarthy figure between the ship and the ship like an ape, swinging between the boats, exercising their skills, their dexterity, strong arms gently grasp the rope and shake, you can jump out of the distance, this is this time of time again and again into the sea to exercise the ability to emerge, from the very beginning of trembling on the edge of the boat did not dare to move, to the present light car familiar road, no one knows how many times they fell into the sea, their layers of cracked skin, It is formed under the scorching sun and the corrosive sea water, like a layer of armor, firmly protecting their flesh and blood, and now these sailors will be regarded as qualified sailors, because they are accustomed to the bumps on the ship, and can not be afraid of the sea, can jump quickly between ships, and sit down the best preparation for future naval battles.
Li Kuan was lying on the largest ship, and there was a desk on the deck, on which was a nautical chart, which was marked with some patterns that were difficult for people to understand, which was an indispensable thing on the sea, because what was marked on it was a reference, only by finding the right direction, and then looking for these references, could we determine where we were now, otherwise it was a blue sea, how to make it possible to think about the goal I wanted? Therefore, nautical charts are the most indispensable for sea navigation.
This chart was made by Li Kuan himself, of course, in the eyes of the sailors on the boat, Li Kuan himself knew how much this thing costed, because the things marked on this chart are not only the same things as the traditional charts, but also the squares and trapezoids, these things are the reason why Li Kuan spent a huge price. Since the last time Li Kuan tasted the sweetness of the resources contained in the sea, he has set his sights on the vast ownerless sea, because in this era, the sea is not a luxury that a kingdom on land can touch. It's like his own home. Li Kuan has already regarded all the coal, oil, and natural gas resources on the sea as his own, so what he has to do now is to go to this marked place and carry out the bad thing of stealing the energy of future generations.
The big ship is fluttering its sails and drifting on the sea, just like a small paper boat on a wide river, it seems that it may be subverted by a gust of wind and waves at any time, but the ships are still extremely tenacious in emerging from the stormy waves again and again, facing the waves that hit the head again and again, and carrying the sinking and floating between the waves, but they will not sink. The blue sea reflects the blue sky, and the white sails show that this sea area can no longer stop this young man from the Tang Dynasty in the East Soil. Everything in this sea area is at the mercy of this young man, Li Kuan can be regarded as living a happy life without shame and impatience, but Li Kuan is still very calm, because although he roughly knows the distribution of those things he wants in this sea area, but after all, it is not the most accurate thing, so before finding the real result, Li Kuan still can't rest assured, and has been constantly trying.
"Wait, it will be a little longer, and when I have enough confidence, then that little Unu State will be your disaster!" Li Kuan's eyes flashed an inexplicable look at this moment, it seemed to be very complicated, he was an imperial Han nationalist, for the best nation in the world, it was unanimously believed that it was the yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese nation, as for the same yellow-skinned Japanese slave country and stick countryman, one was the target he must eliminate, and the other was invented by the Chinese nation, because according to the conclusion of a group of sophisticated party researchers, the earliest history of the stick people can be traced back to the Yin Shang period, after the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang, Shangchao's relict Jizi took a group of defeated people to the Korean Peninsula and created the Marquis of the Ji family, which was recorded in the book "Historical Records" of Sima Qian, who suffered palace punishment again and again in the Western Han Dynasty, so the people of the stick country were actually invented by the Chinese nation! Therefore, he did not think that he would completely wipe out this nation, but was ready to completely subdue them, and then assimilate them, so that he could create a kingdom of the universe in the future and become a sacred and inviolable part of China since ancient times!
