In the twelfth year of Yongsheng, the glory of Datang once again burst out to a certain extent.

Steam locomotives were laid in Central and South Asia, as well as in Eastern Europe.

In four years, Datang's main focus was on laying railways.

Half of Datang's annual steel production is spent on this matter.

The effect is also really obvious.

Cities were built around train stations.

When the nobles of the Eastern Roman Empire came to the Tang Dynasty, they were all shocked by the steam train.

Then I was shocked by the Tang Palace.

The Tang Palace has also gradually begun to be renovated over the years.

Originally, the historical Heavenly Shrine was built.

The 100-meter-high palace complex is very refreshing to use to shock people's hearts.

It is worth mentioning that the Romans of the Eastern Roman Empire did not play with the northern family.

The Eastern Roman Empire, which had reclosed the Mediterranean, reopened its parliament, and under the operation of the northern family, the Eastern Roman Empire could be called the European branch of the Tang Dynasty.

Among the three hundred members of the council, the northern family himself plus the Tang royal family led by Li Ke and the 249 supported by them.

As for how this works, Li Kuan doesn't know, anyway, the original members of the Eastern Roman Empire are quite happy.

Li Kuan felt that it was more or less poisonous.

But it doesn't have much impact.

It was Li Chen who really had a big impact on Li Kuan.

Li Chen, who is 16 years old this year, is about to leave Chang'an and go to Eastern Europe.

"Have you decided?"

Li Kuan looked at Li Chen with a smile, his only son in this era.

I don't know what's going on, he's been working hard all these years, but he hasn't had any children.

Li Chen is his only son.

"Well, I thought about it, I was supposed to go out to practice at the age of twelve, but now it's four years late, and if I don't go out, I really don't need to go out."

"The members of the royal family of my generation have already made achievements outside, and I am the only one who is still a flower in a greenhouse."

A flash of strength flashed in Li Chen's eyes, and his handsome face was full of determination.

Li Kuan's eyes looking at Li Chen were complicated.

His own son, he knows, is not excellent, and can be said to be very ordinary.

can barely be called a handsome face, ordinary martial arts, ordinary knowledge.

The only thing that is not ordinary is probably identity, and the rest are really not as good.

Leading the troops to fight has been verified in the wargame deduction, and he can't do it.

The king's posture, with the teachers who taught him, said that they did not want to submit to mediocrity.

Such a talented performance made Li Kuan leave Li Chen, who was supposed to go out to practice at the age of twelve, until now.

Probably, the only thing that is not ordinary is the perseverance in the eyes and the heart that has been working hard.

With a wry smile, Li Kuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I have a path you can try to walk, and if you succeed, you may be able to grow to the level of an emperor." ”

Li Chen was a little confused.

Is there still a way to go?

He has a good idea of his talent.

Not to mention that it is not comparable to Li Kuan, the winner of the previous era, even the silver medalists of the previous era.

When he went to the battlefield, his legs were shaking.

I was terrified when I saw the murder scene.

And the contemporaries who competed with him for the throne, Li Ke's son, had already won a battle of 50,000 people alone.

The grandson of Li Xiaogong has conquered a barbarian tribe on his own.

Li Chengqian's son even built a town on his own.

…………。

This is the best group of people, and it is enough to prove the high starting point of the struggle for the throne.

Li Chen was also afraid and hated his mediocrity.

His father and mother were so good, and it was really a shame that he was so mediocre.

Especially when he knew how many games his mother had set up for him, how many hands he had secretly played.

He felt that if he didn't work hard, he was sorry for the huge amount of power left to him by his mother.

But he really tried to do it, but he couldn't do it to the extent of others.

He also wanted to go to war, but when he thought of his identity and carrying countless lives, his heart was full of fear.

The teacher who taught him the art of war told him that everyone who went to war was ready to lose his life, and he didn't need to be nervous, just don't take human life seriously.

But he wanted to say, everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, how can they not take human life as their life.

There are other things.

It's all similar.

"Aye, you don't need to carry anything on this road, right?"

"Especially human life."

"I don't want to take someone else's life for nothing."

Li Chen said with a lonely expression.

Li Kuan smiled, smiling very happily.

"The road I chose for you is a road of struggle alone, poor and white, you don't have to carry any of you, I will give you two hundred death row prisoners."

"They are all mortal people, but they choose to atone for their sins."

"Your mission is to lead them to the wilderness of Eastern Europe and attack a tribe."

"This time, you just have to take responsibility for yourself."

Li Kuan said with a smile.

Looking at the respect for human life in Li Chen's eyes, Li Kuan suddenly thought of something.

In fact, working hard, fighting strongly, moving forward under pressure, and studying hard all the time are Li Chen's advantages.

In particular, Li Chen also respects life, especially life on his side.

In this way, those who can understand life are not bad in heart.

And many followers don't want their boss to be a person who disregards life.

On the whole, Li Chen has the posture of a king.

It's not good, his son can give himself a huge surprise.

Li Chen knew that the condemned prisoner had to pay for his crimes.

In Datang, death row prisoners who do not have a life in their hands can choose to atone for their crimes with merit, and they can use their guilt to make meritorious contributions.

As long as you do enough credit, you can atone for your sins and become a free being.

Of course, the way of meritorious service was chosen by Datang.

For example, a few hundred people, to attack the barbarian tribes.

There are still many barbarian tribes in Eastern Europe that have not been defeated.

As soon as Li Chen heard that he was a death row prisoner, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He can do this job.

Although dangerous, it makes him less stressful.

Li Kuan looked at Li Chen with a smile, especially when he saw the relaxation in his eyes, he was even more amused.

After letting his personal eunuch Lin Qing go to inform him, Li Kuan and Li Chen had a meal and sent him away.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kuan came to the harem and told Wu Mei about it.

Wu Mei screamed at the beginning and blew up.

"You're crazy."

"Why did you let my son and a group of condemned prisoners go to Eastern Europe on foot to attack the barbarian tribes, this is a matter of death."

"My son has a better path to take, why let him take this path."

"I'm going to send you to death, don't let my son go."

Wu Mei's eyes were full of anger and madness and hatred.

For her, Li Chen is her life.

The corners of Li Kuan's mouth twitched, and his toothache was endless.

can only listen to Wu Mei silently venting.

Wu Mei in history can't say that she has no feelings for her sons, she can only say that she has, not much.

But I don't know what's going on in this life, she is extremely fond of Li Chen.

In Eastern Europe, Li Chen has been laid out in the world.

It can be said that if Li Chen fails to compete for the throne, she will have calculated where to go to retire comfortably, and she has prepared a place.

She is still trying to cultivate a love brain wife for Li Chen.

In order to make Li Chen not suffer from love in the future, he will not have to suffer the betrayal of love.

After Wu Mei finished venting, she did not apologize to Li Kuan in the slightest.

She shares her husband with others, but her son is hers alone.

Which is more important, she knows very well in her heart.

Li Kuan, who looked at Wu Mei's cold eyes, trembled in his heart, and hurriedly said his analysis of Li Chen.

The coldness in Wu Mei's eyes did not melt in the slightest.

"If something happens to my son, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."

"When the time comes, I will definitely fight you to the end."

Wu Mei would never say such things in the past.

But now, she only cares about her son.

Li Kuan shrugged, he didn't care.

Anyway, Li Chen won't have an accident.

Li Kuan's relaxed and uncaring state made Wu Mei even more angry, and he hated Li Kuan's attitude of not caring, as if his son was not his son.

Then Li Kuan was blasted out, and the empress said that she didn't want to share a room with the emperor.

Li Kuan went to the room of Xiao Chen and the others.

Xiao Chen and others also accused Li Kuan of doing something wrong.

"Even if Chen'er can't be the emperor, he can go back to be the king of Chu, our family has a big business, and Chen'er can be stable for a lifetime."

"There's no need to take any chances."

Xiao Chen and the others have no sons, and they are very fond of Li Kuan, the only heir.

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Kuan was helpless, so he had to complain: "It's because you are too pampered that Li Chen feels sorry for you if he doesn't succeed, that's why he works so hard." ”

Li Kuan felt that Li Chen was really powerful if he didn't look crooked.

Growing up in the harem doting, he can still respect life without a little pampering.

More importantly, he never felt that others deserved his contributions, and he was always willing to respond enthusiastically to others' contributions.
