But he said, the east coast of the Tang Dynasty!

A giant ship that suddenly appeared.

Let the nearby fishermen think that they are visitors from outside the world.

The frightened fishermen, none of them dared to approach the behemoth.

For fear that he will get into trouble and cause trouble.

The news reached the government.

The local county order immediately couldn't sit still.

He took all the officers of the county government and rushed to the beach immediately.

Looking at it from a distance, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the county magistrate.

I'm good!

What the hell is this?

The county order is bold, and the errand is even more frightened.

That behemoth is bigger than their county office, and the height is even more outrageous.

The county government can't watch the soldiers they accept die, let alone let the nearby fishermen be killed.

However, the county government doesn't know how to deal with this behemoth.

There is no way, let the nearby fishermen retreat first.

It's the New Year soon, what's this called!

The county government was anxious and foaming, and in desperation, he could only send someone to observe secretly while reporting to the state pastor.

When the state pastor got the news, he also had a headache.

This state pastor is none other than Lu Rong, who was in the same imperial examination as Li Gen that year.

Just yesterday, Lu Rong had just learned that His Royal Highness King Qin had been canonized as the crown prince.

Lu Rong almost fainted in the toilet crying.

The new crown prince, if he still remembers him, must not have his own good fruit to eat.

Who let himself and Cui Can humiliate him back then!

Woe comes from the mouth, woe comes from the mouth!

blamed himself for being too young and vigorous back then, and there was no one in his eyes.

Everyone is in the same examination room, even if Ma Zhou failed in the imperial examination, he can be a man, and now he is in the position of prime minister.

He and Cui Can are both top three, and now they are both fifth-grade officials.

Although the officials from the fifth grade are no longer small, however, as the power of the family is gradually weakened, their confidence is becoming more and more insufficient.

Fortunately, Lu Rong woke up in time, and when he reached middle age, he began to think about the people.

During his tenure, he was deeply loved by the people.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and visitors from outside the world suddenly descend on the beach.

This is not a trivial matter!

Lu Rong sent people to the capital to report the news, and at the same time led people straight to the east coast.

……………

At dinner, Li Gen talked with his eldest grandson, Wuji and his son.

told all the father, emperor and mother.

There is nothing to hide from these things.

Even if he doesn't say it, the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely report it truthfully.

Even what he said during the period, Li Gen also told the truth.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun heard Li Gen's words of gratitude to the eldest grandson Wuji's father and son.

It's really laughing and crying.

"Gen'er, you may not know that your father and mother have never left your uncle behind."

"Because of the merit for Chengqian, your uncle concealed the list of casualties, and that time, the queen mother was really angry."

"I suggest that your father remove him from his official position, nominally because he is unwell and cultivates in the palace, but in fact, he has never been reused since then."

"Father and mother, Wan Wu didn't expect that you really want to reuse him."

"At the beginning, the queen mother almost blamed you, thinking that you had a bad heart and deliberately let him go to Lingnan to suffer and suffer......"

Empress Eldest Sun, these words can be described as heart-wrenching words.

There is no hypocrisy in it.

"Queen Mother, how dare your son let his uncle suffer and suffer!"

"Uncle is the elder brother of the queen mother, and he is the one who depends on the queen mother......"

As for the death of their parents since childhood, Li Gen naturally will not say it explicitly.

"In any case, the son can't make the queen mother sad."

"What's more, my uncle really has a strong talent, and he is also the minister of my father's humerus."

"Nowadays, the ministers are in charge of the country, presiding over the government, making the best use of their talents, and making the best use of them, which is the fundamental ...... of governing the country."

Li Gen's words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun feel very good.

Although he knew that many things that Eldest Sun Wuji had done in the past was wrong, after all, he was the elder brother of Empress Eldest Sun, and he and Li Shimin were also friends.

It is also to take care of the eldest grandson queen in every possible way, and urge the marriage of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen.

Now that the eldest grandson Wuji is old, it is reasonable for Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen to let him grow old.

The estrangement between the crown prince and the eldest grandson Wuji's father and son is what Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress are most worried about.

Now, it seems that the two of them are really worried.

The prince didn't take the past to heart at all.

Thanks to the eldest grandson Wuji's words, although it is quite exaggerated, in fact, it proves that this child is broad-minded and can tolerate heaven and earth.

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Gen led the crown princess, Ji Xiang, Ru Yi and Chang'an, to greet his father and mother.

led the whole family straight to the Wei Mansion.

After returning to Chang'an City, he had not visited his father-in-law's house, which made Li Gen himself feel a little embarrassed.

Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyu, Wei Shuwan, Wei Shulin, Wei Shuli, all went out to welcome the prince and the princess.

Everyone gathered in the living room of the Wei Mansion.

Wei Shuwan, Wei Shulin and Wei Shuli, as early as during the period of Luntai City, had already gotten along with Jixiang, Ru Yi and Chang'an very happily.

Except for Chang'an, who was still young, the age difference between them was not very big, and soon the living room was full of children's laughter.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, after the Shangyuan Festival, the son-in-law intends to let Jixiang and Ru Yi and Chang'an go out to see the world. The son-in-law thought that Shuwan, Shulin and Shuli should also go out for a walk and take a look. ”

"Oh, where does the virtuous husband want them going?"

Wei Zheng asked suspiciously.

The most prosperous thing in Datang is Luntai City and Chang'an City, where else can it be stronger than these two places?

"Father, the child knows that my brother-in-law wants us to go to that magical place with Jixiang, Ru Yi and Chang'an."

Wei Shuwan's words made Li Gen smile and nod.

Let Wei Zhengze's mouth open wide.

"Virtuous son-in-law, father-in-law has heard these boys say that that magical land is too far away from our Tang Dynasty."

"What do you mean to say that from one end of the earth to the other, there are more than 30,000 miles?"

"Virtuous son-in-law, such a distance, and the ocean in between, even if they set off now, when and what month will they be able to arrive?"

"In this life, I'm afraid I won't be able to see them come back······"

After listening to his father-in-law's words, Li Gen shook his head with a smile and spoke.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the son-in-law has prepared everything, once they reach the east coast, they will be able to cross the sea and reach the continent in about forty days."

"Even if there is extreme weather such as violent storms, there will be no danger, the round-trip time will not exceed three months at most, and give them another three months to familiarize themselves with and search for some species, and at most half a year, the children will return safely."

"After Shuwan, Shulin and Shuli come back, the son-in-law is ready to let them start their careers, so as to hone themselves."

Li Gen did not hide it anymore, and briefly said that the 10,000-ton cruise ship had docked on the east coast.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Okay, it's good for them to go out and have a look, if it weren't for the father-in-law going to Handan, the father-in-law would want to go outside to see it."

Steady his mind, Wei Zheng said with a hearty smile.

Speaking of Handan and his party, Li Gen also felt a little guilty.

"Let my father-in-law go to Handan, my son-in-law is quite uneasy."

"It's okay, it's okay, Shuyu has already told his father-in-law for various reasons."

"Besides, Handan has old friends from my father-in-law for many years, and my father-in-law can also catch up with them on this trip."

"There is a father-in-law who supervises the Handan steel mill, and officials from all over Hebei Province dare not produce any moths."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng does have full confidence.

Hebei Province is an important base of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng Group.

After the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin ascended the throne after serving as the crown prince for a few months.

The first thing he handed over to Wei Zheng was to let Wei Zheng go to Hebei Province to inspect.

is called inspection, but in fact, it is to let Wei Zheng go to Hebei Province to appease people's hearts.

Calm the hearts of those people?

Naturally, it was the hidden prince Li Jiancheng.

After all, Wei Zheng was the absolute backbone of Li Jiancheng's subordinates.

It is said that once a son of heaven is a courtier.

Li Shimin also wants to be a son of heaven and a courtier.

However, after years of war, there are not enough people.

There are even fewer available talents.

Talent has become the most troublesome problem after Li Shimin ascended the throne.

In the end, Li Shimin still followed the advice of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

For the hidden prince, the main thing is to appease.

As long as you continue to work for the Tang Dynasty, the official position will remain unchanged and the official gentry will remain unchanged.

Moreover, in the future, there will be no more accountability for what has been done in the past.

There is, Wei Zheng's Hebei Road patrol line.

On that trip to Hebei, Wei Zheng did not disappoint Li Shimin.

After Wei Zheng arrived in Handan, an official reported that the governor of Handan was the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and he should have taken it in the name of rebellion.

Wei Zheng was furious at that time.

"Your Majesty sent this official to inspect Hebei Province, not to picket Prince Yin's family, but to inspect whether local officials are doing things for the people? Is it faithful to the Son of Heaven? ”

"As long as you are a political official, serve the country, and work for the people, you are all talents that can be of great use."

"That's what it means to be today······"

Wei Zheng's move completely stabilized the hearts of many officials in Hebei Province.

The news reached Li Shimin's ears.

When Li Shimin heard this, he was quite satisfied.

Since then, I have started to reuse Wei Zheng with confidence.

"Father-in-law, with your words, my son-in-law will be relieved."

"The son-in-law first built the railway from Chang'an City to Luoyang City, and after the construction started, he began to build the railway to Handan."

"Let my father-in-law have a little thin face in front of his old friends."

When Wei Zheng heard this, he laughed.

"Good, very good······"

"There is the phrase of a virtuous son-in-law, my father-in-law went to Handan, and I can brag with them."

Before lunch, Li Gen sent Wang Xuance and Xi Jun to buy and invite Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou to the Wei Mansion.

Fugen Restaurant has delivered the best wine and food.

The crowd drank and talked about the future of steelmaking and railroad construction.

During the banquet, Ma Zhou, who was the most emotional, cried several times.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Ma Zhou talked about the experience of the prince over the years, and the tears of the bean fell down.

······

That night was the New Year's Eve.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, with their family scrolls, gathered in front of the Suzaku Gate.

The people also appeared early on the streets of Suzaku Avenue and Chang'an City.

The Chang'an County Ya and Wannian County Ya have already spread the news.

Tonight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will order people to set off fireworks on the streets of Chang'an City.

The Suzaku Gate and Suzaku Avenue are the places with the most fireworks.

This is the happiest New Year's Eve that Li Gen has ever had in his life.

A family, no less than a few together.

This is the real reunion.

In addition to fireworks, Li Gen also brought a lot of firecrackers.

This is a real firecracker.

The extremely shocking explosion made the dogs in Chang'an City clench their tails and lie on the ground honestly.

But it caused the children to jump and jump loudly and cheer.

After the time passed, there was still peace in the East Palace.

Little Yellow, Little Black, Little Flower and Little White were lazily lying around the fire.

To be exact, the four of them should be called Lao Huang, Lao Hei, Lao Hua and Lao Bai.

Li Gen, the crown princess, Red Sleeves, Tian Xiang, Ji Xiang, Ru Yi and Chang'an gathered around the fire.

Looking at the happy smiling face of the child, the satisfied smile of his own woman.

Li Gen is also very down-to-earth.

Year after year passed, and finally ushered in the best year.

Li Gen, who has not slept all night, leads the princess and the children who have not slept all night.

When the sky is bright, go to the Lizheng Palace to greet his father and mother.

Later, the green sparrows, the young slaves, and the sons all came.

Li Ke, Li You and other princes also came.

Li Shimin, who was dressed in a dragon robe, and the eldest grandson queen who was wearing a phoenix robe were sitting in danger.

Accept the bowing salute of the princes, princesses and grandchildren.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun decided not to even participate in the court meeting.

couldn't resist Li Gen's persuasion, and finally went to the Hall of Xiande.

At this year's court, the items on display are far better than in the past.

Li Gen displayed many objects in front of the civil and military officials for the first time.

Attracting the Hall of Virtue, there was a gasp from time to time.

It also made the officials believe that following in the footsteps of His Royal Highness the Prince, the future Datang will definitely reach an incredible point.

Ten days later, that is, on the eleventh day of the first month.

Li Shimin is thinking about who he wants to play with today.

Li Junxian hurriedly came to report.

"Your Majesty, the secret agents sent by his subordinates and the messengers sent by Lu Rong met on the official road."

"On the east coast, there are visitors from outside the sky, and it is rumored that the soldiers frankly said that the visitors from outside that day were huge, like a small mountain, and the height was more than ten miles away, and you could see ······."

Hiss... When Li Shimin heard this, he gasped directly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin's eyes burst into light.

"Jun Xian, if I am correct, the visitor from outside the world in the mouth of the messenger is the 10,000-ton cruise ship that the prince said."

Hiss... Li Junxian, who was a master of art, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, such a big behemoth, His Royal Highness the Prince, how is it? What made it appear on the East Coast? ”

Li Shimin's doubts in his heart are no less than those of Li Junxian.

yes, how did such a big guy end up on the East Coast?

As soon as Li Shimin's curiosity came up, it was much more serious than that of a curious baby.

No, this mahjong is still not played today.

You have to go to the East Palace again.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin tidied up his clothes and went straight to the East Palace.

Along the way, Li Shimin walked and pondered how to ask.

Soon, Li Shimin set foot in the East Palace.

only to find that the prince was not in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is teaching in the study for His Royal Highness King Wei and others."

"Lectures?"

Hearing the words of the inner servant, Li Shimin signaled to the inner servant not to report.

Li Shimin wants to listen, this kid, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
