Just when Li Zhi was disappointed and couldn't take Cai'er to play, Li Shimin, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly coughed and said: "But although you can't bring someone else, if someone wants to visit relatives and happens to be on the same road with you, you can also go together, but when you get along, you must be affectionate, stop being polite, and don't break the rules!" ”

Li Shimin's words are reminding Li Zhi that although he can't bring Cai'er with him explicitly, he can let Cai'er go to Taiwan in the name of visiting relatives, and then the two of them will go together. However, in the end, Li Shimin was afraid that Li Zhi and Cai'er would do something against etiquette, so he specially reminded him so as not to cause any ugly things.

Li Zhi naturally understood his father's words, and replied with a red face at the moment: "Thank you for your father's teachings, and your sons will be saved!" ”

Next, Li Shimin asked Li Zhi about his studies again, but Li Zhi's head was now full of going out, so he was lost when he spoke, and the angry Li Shimin scolded him a few more words, and then let Li Zhi go back.

Li Zhi left the Liangyi Hall with a silly smile on his face, and wanted to go back to his East Palace, but he thought of such a good news, so he naturally wanted to share it with Cai'er. Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards the other palace gate, which side was closer to the Lady of Sui State's mansion.

However, just before Li Zhi was out of the range of the Liangyi Palace, and was about to cross a covered bridge, he suddenly heard a crisp voice next to him shouting: "Brother Jiu, wait a minute, what makes you so happy?" ”

Following the voice, Li Zhi turned around, and just saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl standing on the covered bridge, looking at him with a smile. And to see this girl. Li Zhi was also very happy, and walked over with a smile and said, "Son, are you going to practice calligraphy again?" I just came back from the Liangyi Palace, and my father happened to be free. ”

This little girl is the little son who liked to stick to Li Su the most. But seven or eight years have passed, and the three-year-old girl has already grown slim, although she is only eleven or twelve years old, she is already a little beauty, and in a few years, it is estimated that she will be able to compare with her sister Princess Changle, but then Li Shimin will also find her son-in-law's family.

The son is the daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and he is also the most favored person among the princes and princesses. It is no exaggeration to say that although Li Shimin loves Li Su, compared with his son, Li Su is also willing to lose, and it can be said that Li Shimin is already doting on his son. Fortunately, the son-in-law is kind and innocent by nature, and even when Li Shimin is angry because of some political affairs, the son-in-law will admonish him, which is quite the style of the eldest grandson and queen, so no matter who it is. As long as you have seen your son, you will like this little princess.

The son likes calligraphy, especially imitating the handwriting of his father Li Shimin, and even some ministers can't distinguish it. However, the son was still dissatisfied, so he often came to his father to learn calligraphy, and Li Zhi saw her just now. would say that. However, the son was a little dissatisfied and said, "Brother Jiu, don't divert the topic, I asked you why you are so happy just now." You haven't answered me yet? ”

Hearing that his son was in hot pursuit, Li Zhi sighed helplessly. It seems that I can't go to Cai'er for the time being. Then Li Zhi told the news that Li Shimin had given him a year just now to let him go out to travel, and the son listened to it, and the two beautiful big eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Brother Jiu, is it okay for you to take me, please, I haven't seen the sixth brother for several years, I have been dreaming about him these days, I haven't been able to go last time Wenxin's sister-in-law gave birth, this time I have to go to see the sixth brother anyway, and our little nephew......" The son suddenly rushed over and hugged Li Zhi's arm, and said with a flattering face.

When Li Su was in Chang'an, he was the closest to his son-in-law, but unfortunately after Li Su arrived in Dengzhou, he only came back twice, and his son-in-law hadn't seen Li Su for four or five years, so she naturally missed the sixth brother who played with her the most.

"This can't be done, just now I begged my father to let him agree to me to take Cai'er, but my father didn't agree, plus as a princess, it is usually difficult for you to get out of the palace, let alone go to the sixth brother." Li Zhi immediately shook his head when he heard this. The princess of the Tang Dynasty is actually very restricted, and it is generally difficult to leave the palace after the age of ten, unless it is after marriage, so the requirement of the son is too difficult.

"Brother Jiu, my son knows that you feel sorry for me the most, please bring your son with you, okay?" The son shook Li Zhi's arm, and used his own coquettish method, generally speaking, Li Zhi would never be able to resist the coquettishness of the son.

But this matter is really not what Li Zhi can do, so no matter how coquettish his son is, Li Zhi doesn't dare to let go, and in the end he really can't stand it, so he has to say helplessly: "Son, why don't you go and beg your father, if your father agrees to you go with me, then I will take you!" ”

"Okay, this is what you said Ninth Brother, I'm going to beg my father, don't regret it then!" Although the son is young, he is a small ghost, and he knows that Li Zhi can't be the master of this matter, so what she is waiting for is the words of the ninth brother Li Zhi.

"Is your ninth brother like that?" Li Zhi affectionately stretched out his hand and knocked on his son's little head and said, "Hurry up and beg my father, I have to go back to plan the next year's itinerary, if my father agrees to you to go, tell me where you want to go, and Brother Jiu will help you add it!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Jiu!" As soon as the little girl heard Li Zhi's words, she jumped up happily, and then stopped caring about Li Zhi, and ran in the direction of the Liangyi Hall with the corner of her skirt. Looking at his favorite sister, Li Zhi smiled and shook his head, although he wanted to help his son, but as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, his father should not agree to let her travel with him.

It's a pity that Li Zhi obviously underestimated his son's ability, and also underestimated Li Shimin's love for his son, and that night, when Li Zhi was lying on the map to study his itinerary, the son jumped to his East Palace, and then told Li Zhi very excitedly that their father had agreed to his son's request.

After hearing the news, Li Zhi felt a little indignant, because he wanted to take Cai'er before, but Li Shimin didn't let it go public, but asked Cai'er to accompany him in the name of visiting Li Su, but now it's good, as a princess to be married in the Tang Dynasty, he can't go out according to the system, but Li Shimin agreed. This made Li Zhi sigh at the end, they are all the same father, how can the difference in treatment be so big?

Although he sighed in his heart that his father was unfair, this did not affect Li Zhi's interest at all, plus he grew up with his son, and he was a sibling, so his feelings were naturally much deeper than those of other brothers and sisters, so he was also very happy about bringing his son. In addition, Cai'er, who was notified by Li Zhi, was actually a little hesitant, after all, she and Li Zhi were only engaged, and they had not officially married, and if she went out with Li Zhi for a year at this time, she was also worried that there would be any bad rumors. But later, when she heard that her son-in-law was also going with her, Cai'er agreed to go with her, after all, she also missed her cousin and sister-in-law a little.

The three main choices have been determined, and Li Zhi referred to Cai'er and his son's opinions, and quickly determined the route. Because this time he was traveling, Li Zhi decided to go more in Datang first, first in the Guanzhong area, then to the coal mines near Taiyuan, the fur trading market and other places, and then back to Luoyang, and then to Zhengzhou to take a boat, after arriving in Weizhou, and then north to Cangzhou and other places, where is the cotton textile industrial base of Datang, one-third of the country's cotton cloth is produced in Cangzhou and several nearby states.

Next, they will go directly to sea from Cangzhou, and it is also the highlight of their trip, that is, to walk through Li Su's territory and carefully examine the difference between Li Su's rule and the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhi can also learn the strategy of governing the country from this comparison, and at the same time observe the people's nature, better understand the people's suffering, and the thoughts of ordinary people. This is one of the most basic conditions for becoming a generation of Ming Jun.

After the route was formulated, Li Zhi immediately resigned to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had already made preparations, this trip not only let the two thousand elites of the prince's six rates accompany him, but also specially allocated two thousand Tang forbidden troops, all of whom were elite soldiers who had survived a hundred battles, with these four thousand guards, the safety of Li Zhi and his son was absolutely no problem, and even as long as he wanted, he could take these four thousand tigers to slaughter the city and destroy the country.

However, as the crown prince, Li Zhi wanted to travel abroad, it still caused a lot of turmoil in the court, not only Kong Yingda, these conservative ministers, opposed it, and even Fang Xuanling, the core ministers, also objected to this matter. However, Li Shimin is the founding emperor after all, and he has a kind of courage to be the first in the world, as long as he feels that one thing is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, even if all the ministers oppose it, he can withstand all the pressure and elect this matter. In fact, it is precisely because of his courage that Li Su's move to raise industry and commerce in Datang will be so smooth, and he did not encounter much resistance at the beginning.

Although Li Shimin can withstand the pressure of the court, he can't withstand the pressure of the harem, the most important of which is the eldest grandson queen, as a mother, the eldest grandson queen naturally does not want to watch her children leave her, especially after Li Chengqian and Li Tai were demoted from Chang'an for their crimes, among the biological children who stayed with the eldest grandson, there were only three of them: Princess Changle, Li Zhi and her son. But Princess Changle is already married, and her health is not good, so she can't be by her side for a long time, so usually only Li Zhi and her son are on their knees, but now it's good, Li Zhi and her son have to go out to travel, and they will be gone for a year, which makes her a mother who is naturally very reluctant.

Li Shimin couldn't stand the complaints of the eldest grandson, and finally let his son go out, which was coquettish and flattering, and finally made the eldest grandson queen relieved, but called Li Zhi for a long time and asked him to take good care of his sister.

In July of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi traveled with Princess Jinyang. And when Li Shimin saw off his son and daughter, he looked at Li Zhi who was riding on a horse and slowly traveling away, and thought of Li Su who was far away overseas, but he couldn't help sighing: they are all their own sons, I just hope they can keep their current relationship for a longer time!
