Chapter 142: Let's go our separate ways in the future
Princess Gao Yang had a question mark on her face, of course she didn't understand what was going on. But since Aya said that there was nothing wrong, she didn't dare to care, but she was secretly worried about Aunt Pingyang.
This word also became a joke in Lao Li's harem, and the eldest grandson queen and a concubine learned to speak to Princess Gaoyang in a soft voice, and then laughed back and forth.
"It's okay if Shu'er doesn't understand, is it possible that you don't understand the second brother?" Empress Eldest Sun covered her mouth and teased Lao Li.
"Didn't you think of that layer......" Lao Li scratched his face in embarrassment, and in order to change the topic, he began to make fun of Li Qing with the concubines again.
"You don't know what happened to the wood of Brother Xian, one day the third sister used orange-flavored lipstick and asked Brother Xian if he wanted to taste it, and guess what." Li Shimin sold a pass.
"How did he do it?" Concubine Yang was immediately aroused by the interest of gossip.
"The third sister is all in a pose, but he, he just reached out and scraped it on the third sister's lips and put it in his mouth......"
Speaking of this, everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Concubine Yang hugged the eldest grandson queen beside her, and laughed so much that tears came out.
"No, I...... I died laughing......" Wei Guifei was also happy enough, leaned forward and said, "How can there be such wood?" Hahaha......"
"But second brother, how can you call your uncle in the future?" Empress Eldest Sun suddenly asked the question of the soul: "In the future, I can't call Brother Xian anymore, I want to call my brother-in-law......"
Li Shimin's heart chuckled suddenly.
It's broken, I'm patronizing the good brother and the third sister, and I've forgotten about it!
"Each has its own opinion, each has its own ......" He waved his hand, indicating that from now on, I will call you brother-in-law, and you will call me Brother Li......
In the early morning of the second day, Li woke up from his sleep early in the morning. So many days of semi-military life actually gave him the habit of getting up early.
For a moment, he even wanted to eat a veteran's breakfast.
Li Xiuning is still asleep, her body is light and slender, but exquisite. Reflected in the faint morning light, it is as elegant as the white swan in Li Qing's dream last night.
For a while, Li Qing was stunned.
Then he realized that he had snatched the quilt away when he was sleeping.
"Sister, sister, get up!"
Li Qing couldn't sleep himself, and reached out and began to destroy other people's dreams.
"Huh?" Li Xiuning hummed a lovely nasal voice and stretched lazily: "What time is it?" ”
"The sun is all on your buttocks, do you see?" Li Qing stretched out his hand and patted it: "Get up quickly!" ”
"What do you do when you get up?" She looked up at the window and saw that the sun was just as high as it was at that time.
"Of course it's morning exercise!" Li Qing laughed evilly, causing Li Xiuning to scream.
……
An hour later, Li Qing was satisfied and ready to go downstairs to eat.
"I always think it's a little weird......"
Li Xiuning frowned slightly, looking at her two slender and slender legs awkwardly. The delicate white stockings hugged the skin, soaked in the soft morning light, dyed with a touch of holy radiance.
"I just like this, sister."
Li Qing's expression was a little unnatural, and it was a bit shy to talk about his XP like this.
Li Xiuning nodded: "Okay then." ”
After breakfast, Li Qing planned to go for a walk in the palace, so he would digest it.
"Quick, catch it!"
Listening to the voice, it was Li Shimin, Li Qing walked over to take a look, in the grass in front of the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin was catching something with his eyes shining, and beside him was the spoiled Empress Changsun.
"Aha! Got you! He smiled heartily and reached out to lift a rabbit.
"Brother Li, what are you doing?" Li Qing walked over curiously.
"Catch rabbits." Li Shimin smiled and showed off the rabbit over there, "How about it, look at this rabbit, it's quite fat." ”
Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that there was really no lie in the history books, Brother Li, he was really catching rabbits in the palace......
"Sister-in-law, it's hard to take care of the child in the morning, right?" He teased at Empress Eldest Sun.
The latter covered his mouth and chuckled, but did not answer, but just looked at Li Shimin playfully.
"What do you say?" Li Shimin was also happy, and handed the rabbit in his hand to Wang De on the side.
He beckoned to the Yuan Nu in the arms of the Empress of the Eldest Sun: "Yuan Nu, come to Aya!" ”
Yuan Nu screamed and flew to Li Shimin's arm.
Lao Li took out a walnut from his pocket and stuffed it into Yuan Nu's mouth, Yuan Nu screamed again, and flew back into the arms of Empress Changsun without a trace of nostalgia.
"Why are you here on your own?" In order to hide his embarrassment, Lao Li looked up at Li Qing, "What about the third sister?" ”
Li Qing sighed: "Ah, that...... No, where is your third sister, you ask me? ”
Li Shimin patted the ash on his hands, hugged his arms with a cold smile and said, "Pretend, you still pretend with me?" Gao Yang saw it at the door yesterday, you and the third sister ...... Tsk, Brother Xian, you are hiding quite deeply, didn't you say that you don't have any plans in this regard for the time being? Tell me, when did you two start? ”
"Since you found out, then I won't act in this play!" Li Qing posed as a double agent pangolin: "Just two days before we went to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate......"
"Then didn't you say that you don't mean this for the time being, why is it so fragrant all of a sudden?" Li Shimin looked at Li Qing suspiciously.
"Your sister rode on me and said I was going to marry you, what else could I do?" Li Qing sniffed: "Besides, I actually like her a lot, she is mainly beautiful, gentle and considerate, and empathetic......"
Gentle and considerate? Empathetic? More than a dozen question marks popped up in Li Shimin's mind, which of his three sisters has anything to do with these eight words?
I think she's good at twisting the heavenly spirit cover, right?
However, this can't be said after all, at least not until the two get married, what if the virtuous brother is scared?
But then again, the so-called lover's eyes are out of the eyes...... Well, it's normal to have such an opinion.
"It's good if you're satisfied," Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to hurry up and get married?" ”
He is afraid of long nights and dreams, what can he do if the third sister's nature is exposed?
What he doesn't know, however, is that his sister is only violent in front of his younger brother.
"Marriage, don't worry." Li Qing stretched out his hand and scratched his chin, looked Li Shimin up and down, until he looked a little hairy in his heart, and then said with a smile: "It's not enough to just have an aunt to witness, why don't you let my Uncle Li also participate in the marriage......"
"Huh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that you want to bring me Aya back?" ”
"I can't bring it." Li Qing immediately said decisively, the remaining two places are reserved for the Ming Dynasty to use as a whole, isn't it a waste to use Li Yuan?
He saw that Li Shimin was puzzled, so he said: "Have you thought about it, in addition to the dynasty behind you, in fact, the Wude Dynasty is also part of the Tang Dynasty......
"You think, you can't just toss back and forth, right?" Li Qing continued: "Brother Li of the Wude Dynasty is also Brother Li, it is better to throw the most difficult bone in the late Tang Dynasty to him to gnaw ......"
"That's it!" Li Shimin said viciously, in the spirit of the dead friend who does not die and the poor do, besides, that Xiao Li and he are also two people, and it is good to let him help share it.
"But Brother Li, to be honest, are you quite angry with Uncle Li?" Li Qing grabbed Lao Li with his arm.
"Resentful?" Li Shimin raised his head and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "After so many years, it has long been dispersed, in fact, even for the eldest brother, I feel more guilty than resentful." ”
"What about Motoyoshi?" Li Qingqian squinted at him.
"Don't mention him to me! It's annoying to mention it! Li Shimin's nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.
Li Qing began to add to the fire: "Actually, you can remember or forget about this, but let me ask you, do you want to see Uncle Li beaten?" Let the aunt clean him up? ”
"No! How can this work? Ayer is my dearest and beloved father! Li Shimin shouted bitterly, then peeked around, and saw that there was no Empress Dowager Dou, and his righteous and stern expression immediately disappeared: "Say, what do you want to let my brother do?" ”
Li Qing: ......
Look at your righteous and strict appearance just now, I don't know that I think you are really a dutiful son.
"That's right, father's kindness and son's filial piety is your fine tradition of the Tang Dynasty, don't leave it behind." Li Qing said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, you just have to watch from the side, I have already instructed the young slave and Li Xiaosan to take a good look at Uncle Li's little tail, and then let them take eye medicine in front of their aunt!" ”
"That's right! That's it! Li Shimin said viciously.
seems to think of the various grievances that were suppressed back then, and Li Shimin's face gradually distorted.
Regarding the matter of giving his father eye medicine, Li Shimin naturally would not object. said that his father was dear and beloved, but in fact, he didn't mind seeing his father being beaten up by his mother.
After so many years of grievances, where is it said that they will be scattered? No matter how bad it is, you have to let yourself out of your anger back then, don't you?
Suddenly, Li Shimin remembered yesterday's report by Li Chengqian, saying that Niu Jinda had returned from Yinzhou, and that he would be accompanied by a contingent carrying gold and silver from the Japanese country, which would arrive this afternoon. After a hasty lunch, the two of them led hundreds of civil and military officials to ten miles outside the city to welcome Niu Jinda.
First of all, there was a prisoner dedication ceremony for the Eastern Expeditionary Fleet, including Emperor Shu Ming and his concubines, a total of more than 120 people. In order to show the tenderness of the Celestial Empire, Emperor Shu Ming was symbolically canonized as the Marquis of Shu Ming.
For the people on the island, they didn't kill much, after all, Li Qing was going to let them go to Australia to mine. In that kind of place where snakes, insects, rats and ants are infested, how can the Tang people be allowed to do coolies?
The grazing in Australia is ready to be handed over to the Turkic and other nomads, and professional matters must be handled by a professional team. This matter, Lao Li also passed the anger with Ashina Simo...... Now it should be called Li Simo, and he immediately said that grazing for the Heavenly Khan is the honor of my Turks.
The Crusader fleet brought hundreds of carts of gold and silver, which can be called an endless stream. With such a big harvest in just two months, even Li Qing felt very surprised.
Cheng Huaimo, the general of the expedition to the east, was the prince of Pingcheng County, the flagship captain Pei Li was named the Marquis of Ping'an for his merits, and Li Mei was the Marquis of Edo.
In contrast, Niu Jinda's convoy was not very large, but it was extremely practical, including potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts and other crops, after Li Qing replaced them with high-yield crops cultivated by modern technology, Li Shimin ordered them to be planted in the Huangzhuang, and then distributed to the people after a bumper harvest.
Niu Jinda was named the Duke of Yin for his merits, and the deputy captain Chi Baolin, who traveled with him, was given the title of Duke of Yindi.
Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong smiled from ear to ear, and went out to harvest two county dukes at home, which meant that their title could be passed on to the second child in the future.
A double duke, this is a supreme honor.
The ship also brought envoys from many tribes in Yinzhou, and it can be said that Niu Jinda has all the face.
After seeing the magnificent Chang'an City, the tribal envoys were all so shocked that they knelt on the ground and kept kissing the ground under their feet.
The courtiers of the Tang Dynasty were not surprised, respecting other people's customs is the most basic quality of a gentleman.
At the celebration banquet, Lao Li immediately said that he would vigorously develop the navigation industry and open up territory on the sea.
Seeing the benefits, the families have expressed that they want to join Li Shimin's great vision, if nothing else, even if they can mix with a marquis and earl, it is good.
After the banquet, Li Shimin left behind his main ministers and began to set the next route of discovery.
Li Qing took the lead in suggesting that the cattle should still be allowed to enter and go to sea and sail around the world around the world.
Niu Jinda immediately said that this task is no other. After Li Qing said that the first person to complete the round-the-world voyage would surely shine in the annals of history, everyone present was moved.
"Lao Niu, do you think my family is in good shape?" Cheng Yanjin took the lead in saying.
"Lao Niu, my Baoqi is not bad!" Wei Chigong also said.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, one said that the eldest grandson of his family, Jian Yunyun Wen Yunwu, and the other said that his family's Fang Xuanling love was absolutely suitable.
In their eyes, this is a sure-fire deal.
In fact, this is also the case, the ironclad steam ship can be said to be as stable as an old dog sailing on the sea, as long as it does not encounter a typhoon or tsunami, there is basically no major problem.
In addition to fresh citrus, there are also a variety of vitamin supplements on board. Even if the citrus is finished, there are vitamin tablets prepared by Li Qing to supplement the vitamins.
In addition to not being able to eat too many green leafy vegetables with an open stomach, there are no drawbacks.
"I said you don't just stare around the world, there are so many things that will go down in history." Li Qing stretched out his hand to open the holographic map again and began to draw cakes for them.
"You see, these islands south of Yazhou are rich in spices, and the local natives even use spices as fuel to burn; Further south, the continent is rich in gold, silver, copper, and iron, and the grasslands are also wide, which is very suitable for grazing. ”
"Take these lands and stand firm, and don't worry about not being able to go down in history." Li Qing continued, and then the conversation changed, "Of course, there are more difficult, but also immortal challenges waiting for the virtuous nephews of your family......
As he spoke, Li Qing pointed his hands to the South Pole and the North Pole respectively.
