"Father, the child is also forced to have no choice, if she doesn't take Ning'er away, she will already be married." Li Anming's cheeks couldn't help but flush after listening to Li Yuntian's words, and he explained with an embarrassed expression.

"You, you!" Li Yuntian suddenly showed a look of crying and laughing when he heard this, it seems that things are really as he thought, Li Anming actually took Zhao Ning'er to "elope".

"Father, the child and Ning'er are in love, but my mother has to arrange a family affair for the child, but the child does not have the slightest love for those famous young ladies, and is only willing to marry Ning'er as his wife." Li Anming knew that he had no way to retreat now, gritted his teeth and pleaded with Li Yuntian again with his head on the ground, "Please fulfill my father!" ”

"Ming'er, you should know that your family affairs are taken care of by your mother, and your father has never interfered." Li Yuntian glanced at Li Anming, who had a resolute look on his face, and said after a deep sigh, "Now my father doesn't know the origin of this matter, and I want to discuss it with your mother."

The "mother concubine" in Li Yuntian's mouth naturally refers to Zhou Yuting, the princess of the Zhongwang Mansion, and the marriage of the daughters of the palace is actually decided by Zhou Yuting, where does Li Yuntian have the energy to take care of these things.

"The child obeys his father's arrangement!" Li Anming hurriedly replied in a deep voice when he heard this, and he was a little relieved in his heart, Li Yuntian was not as angry as he imagined, which was a good sign.

"Come up, you two." Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he heard this, and then got up and walked back to the carriage, Li Anming gave him a problem now, you must know that this business is the most difficult to deal with.

"Thank you, Father." Li Anming hurriedly helped Zhao Ning'er on the side, and pulled Zhao Ning'er, who looked nervous, into the carriage with Li Yuntian.

In the carriage, through the bright moonlight outside the window, Li Yuntian finally saw Zhao Ning'er's appearance clearly, with red lips and white teeth, handsome appearance, there is a kind of delicate gentleness that I feel sorry for, no wonder Li Anming would elope for her.

"Miss Ning'er, how long have you known Ming'er?" Zhao Ning'er knew Li Yuntian's prestige, so she looked very nervous and cramped, Li Yuntian saw her nervousness and asked with a smile.

"Back to the prince, it's been ten years." Zhao Ning'er hurriedly bowed, "The grandfather of the folk girl opened a small private school, and once the little prince went to the private school to find someone to meet the folk girl. ”

The "little prince" in Zhao Ning'er's mouth naturally refers to Li Anming, although the heirs of the palace are not the same as the princes, they can all be called "little princes" in front of people, which has become a kind of honorific title.

"Ten years!" Li Yuntian couldn't help but nod when he heard this, he felt strange before, under the training of Zhou Yuting and others, Li Anming was not the kind of person who was willful, but now he did such a deviant thing, there must be a reason.

In Li Yuntian's view, people's feelings, especially love, are the most elusive things, and Li Anming and Zhao Ninger's ten-year relationship is enough to make him elope for Zhao Ninger.

"Ming'er, you have to understand your mother, our palace is in the capital, I don't know how many people are staring, today's children in the world pay attention to the right people, otherwise they will definitely be criticized by the outside world, she doesn't want the palace and you to be hurt by the gossip from the outside world, for the sake of your future and the face of the palace."

Li Yuntian already knew the emotions between the two and Zhao Ning'er's family history from Zhao Ning'er's answer just now, so he groaned and said to Li Anming, he didn't want Li Anming to be dissatisfied with Lu Calyx because of this matter, he was sure that Lu Calyx would definitely oppose Li Anming and Zhao Ning'er's family affairs.

After all, Li Anming is the pride and pride of Green Calyx, and Green Calyx naturally hopes that Li Anming can find the right family, which is good for both the palace and Li Anming.

"Father, the child knows the hard work of the mother, and it is the child's unfilial piety that makes her sad." Li Anming's face suddenly showed a look of shame when he heard this, and his eyes became a little ruddy, he had never done anything to make Green Calyx angry all these years.

"Father can tell you that after you get married, the emperor will make you a prince like your two elder brothers, what are your plans for the future?"

Seeing this, Li Yuntian shook his head again in his heart, knowing that Li Anming was also very entangled now, and this kind of taste mixed with family affection and love was not pleasant, and then Yu Feng asked.

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, and the child should serve the country like two brothers." Li Anming did not hesitate at all when he heard this, and said proudly to Li Yuntian.

Li Anguo and Li Anmin were sent by Li Yuntian to the grassroots troops to which the lecture martial arts belonged after graduating from the martial arts hall, like this kind of prince with the identity of the county king to the grassroots troops to be on duty in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be unique, even in the early Ming Dynasty when the vassal king was the most active, there was no county king to serve at the grassroots level, because of his noble identity, he stepped into the official career is a high-powered commander.

In fact, Li Yuntian did this to set up a template for the royal family and noble children of the Ming Dynasty to enter the official career, in his opinion, those royal families and noble children need to accumulate a certain amount of experience in order to obtain a higher level of official position, otherwise they will not be able to be qualified for high-level positions.

Li Anguo is now serving as a staff officer in the Liaodong Battalion of the Xiaowu Army, and Li Anmin is serving as a staff officer in the Ningbo Naval Division.

Therefore, Li Anming, who was born in the martial arts hall, must also devote himself to the construction of the Xiaowu Army or the Navy Division like his two elder brothers.

"If you are allowed to stay away from the Ming mainland and go to the territory of the overseas Ming Dynasty, what do you think?" Li Yuntian was silent for a while, then stared at Li Anming solemnly and asked, "Don't answer your father now, you will give your father an answer when your father asks you again." ”

"Father, the child knows that his father is worried about the affairs of the Western Regions, and the child is willing to go to the Western Regions to serve."

Hearing this, Li Anming glanced at Zhao Ning'er beside him, and said with a serious expression, "The Western Regions is the Ming Dynasty that my father has fought with a lot of painstaking efforts, and the child is willing to go to defend him, and tell the world that the children of the Zhongwang Mansion can also go to the border like the children of ordinary people, so that they can serve the public!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yuntian's eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise, he never imagined that Li Anming would say such a thing, this is exactly what he wanted in his heart, let the children of the Zhongwang Mansion go overseas to serve and set an example for the people of the world.

"How did you come up with this?" Suppressing the shock in his heart, Li Yuntian looked at Li Anming quietly, surprised that he could think about it so thoughtfully.

"Father, the child is helping the two aunts in the martial arts hall, and a lot of information from the Western Regions has been sorted out by the child, knowing that the situation in the Western Regions is not as expected by the father, it must make the father worried."

Li Anming looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "The Western Regions were brought down by my father after a lot of hardships, and the child is willing to go to the Western Regions to serve and guard the place!" ”

"What about you?" Li Yuntian finally understood what was going on, it turned out that Li Anming had already noticed the matter in the Western Regions, and it seemed that he was really a caring person, and then looked at Zhao Ning'er who was sitting next to Li Anming, "What should you do if he goes to the Western Regions?" ”

"Lord Wang, Ning'er is willing to live and die with the little prince, Ning'er will go wherever he goes." Zhao Ning'er bit her lip when she heard this, and said to Li Yuntian with a resolute expression.

"What life and death, this king means that the climate and customs of the Western Regions are very different from the Central Plains, and the distance is far away and it is not suitable to return."

Li Yuntian immediately laughed when he heard this, and felt that the atmosphere had become a little dull and depressing, so he smiled and said to Li Anming, "Now my father is not afraid to tell you, my father is ready to let you go to guard the Western Regions, spread branches and leaves for the Li family in the Western Regions, and consolidate the defense of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Scattered?" Li Anming suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard this, if he didn't understand it wrong, Li Yuntian hoped that he would take root in the Western Regions in the future.

"After you get married, the emperor will definitely entitle you as the king of the county, and guard the Western Regions with the respect of the king of the county, which is enough to show the importance that my Ming Dynasty attaches to the Western Regions."

Li Yuntian bowed slightly, affirmed the speculation in Li Anming's heart, and looked at Li Anming solemnly, "Father can tell you, don't look at the Western Regions is now a barren and remote place in the eyes of people, in fact, it has huge wealth, whoever occupies the Western Regions is equivalent to having the wealth of a rich country!" ”

Li Anmin had a seductive look on his face when he heard this, he didn't know what the wealth Li Yuntian was referring to, he had never heard anyone say it before.

It is worth mentioning that the Western Regions in Li Yuntian's mouth actually refers to the Persian Gulf, which was obtained by the Ming Dynasty from the Timurid Empire, and is the farthest territory of the Ming Dynasty in the West.

Li Yuntian, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, should have a fief according to the Ming Dynasty's customization, but the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty have always been the territory of the imperial family, so Li Yuntian does not want to have any entanglement of interests with the imperial family, so his fief can only be considered in those newly conquered places.

Because Li Yuntian was named the prince of the Ming Dynasty as a king with a different surname, there was no precedent before the Ming Dynasty, after all, Li Yuntian's prince was different from the prince of the clan, according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of the clan should stay in the fief and not go out, and many affairs of the Ming court could not be separated from Li Yuntian.

Therefore, where his fief should be sealed is really embarrassing for the people of the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Xuande once said that the matter would be postponed and then discussed, and Li Yuntian was busy with official business and did not have time to pay attention to this matter, so this matter was delayed.

After Li Yuntian returned to Beijing this time, he mentioned that after inspecting the Western Regions and the South Seas and letting Li Anming go to guard the Western Regions, the orthodox emperor finally thought of a way to solve Li Yuntian's fiefdom, that is, to give Li Yuntian the Persian Gulf that Li Yuntian was most concerned about, so that Li Yuntian could give the Persian Gulf to Li Anming and become Li Anming's fief.

Although the power of the Prince of Daming and the King of the County in the fief is much smaller than before, there are still many privileges, and for Li Yuntian, the fief is an honor given to him by the Son of Heaven, so that the Zhongwang Mansion can gain a firm foothold in the Persian Gulf.
