Of course Li Yuanying was very happy to learn that the mission had returned safely, and even more so when he saw the yield of the Champa rice trial planted by Di Renjie. It was not until he learned from Chengyang that Gao Yang was pregnant that Li Yuanying became sour. When I came back, I kept staring at Wei Shu's stomach.
Wei Shu also found out about Gao Yang's pregnancy, so she could tell what Li Yuanying was thinking just by looking at him. She thought that Li Yuanying would do something at night, but Li Yuanying just touched her belly and sighed: "Reluctance, reluctance."
Li Yuanying and Sun Simiao had studied medicine and knew that childbirth is very hard. His sister is not yet eighteen, so how could he be willing to let her suffer so much. Li Yuanying hugged Wei Shu and whispered: "Let's play with other people's children first, and then we will regenerate our own."
Li Yuanying himself is still a child with a temper, so he doesn't look like a father. Wei Shu turned her head and kissed him like a coaxing child, and fell asleep with him.
Li Yuanying and Chengyang quickly reported the production of Champo rice seeds, and suggested that this new rice seed could be planted in various places, and if it was suitable, it would be promoted. At that time, one mu of land can produce two mu of grain, and one family will definitely become two in a short time!
Food is the lifeblood of people. Fang Xuanling was so excited when he saw the data displayed by Li Yuanying that he fainted at the meeting. Li Yuanying had heard that he was crying with joy, but he had never heard that he was so happy that he fainted, so he hurried up to give Fang Xuanling first aid, and waited for the imperial doctor to give him a few needles.
The court meeting has become like this, and it can only be changed from a large court meeting to a small court meeting. After Fang Xuanling woke up, he was in good spirits, not at all as weak as he fainted just now. He refused to go when others stopped him and advised him to go back and rest.
Now Fang Xuanling looked at Li Yuanying with kind eyes, and felt that Li Yuanying was good in everything. Although Li Yuanying had already donated rice seeds last year, that was just empty talk after all, unlike this year's talk with data, which is intuitive!
This year, the weather in the Tang Dynasty was smooth, and all the places were safe. By the end of the year, envoys from various countries arrived one after another, and Honglu Temple became more and more busy.
Li Yuanying brazenly begged 10,000 people with His Majesty Li Er, all of which were handed over to Xue Rengui and the others for training. From time to time, he himself would send a group of people out to take them to meet foreign envoys, and he was so busy every day that he never touched the ground.
Wei Shu was not idle either, organizing a calligraphy and painting association in Chang'an, inviting a group of famous ladies to come out to appreciate calligraphy and painting from time to time, gently changing the thoughts of the female family members in Chang'an.
Yan Shi has always been friends with Wei Shu, and often hosts parties with Wei Shu, and the relationship has become closer. When Li Tai came to his senses, he found out that Li Yuanying was stealing other people's children, and Wei Shu was digging out other people's family members.
It's all like this, what can Li Tai do, he can only actively devote himself to his work every day, so as not to be the only one in the whole house idle.
The same change happened in many people's homes.
Li Zhi deliberately talked with Wang all night, and told Wang the result of his consideration: he had no intention of competing with his fellow brothers. The prince has always been very kind to them, and he doesn't want to fight to the death with his elder brother for the throne. If he really got to that point, even if Li Yuanying didn't scold him, he would have no face to associate with Li Yuanying again.
Since Li Yuanying returned to Chang'an, the crown prince's status has been visibly stabilized, and many courtiers mentioned the prince more and more. As for Hou Junji's control of the East Palace, it was obviously not entirely the fault of the crown prince, it was because the crown prince was too kind and benevolent, and mistrusted the heroes who followed His Majesty Li Er back then.
After His Majesty Li Er's birthday passed, some people began to hint that His Majesty Li Er should find a chance to let the vassal king return to his fiefdom.
His Majesty Li Er did not comment on this, but said that the vassals are all preparing for the World Expo, and everything will be discussed after the World Expo is over.
The new year came, and it was the 23rd year of Zhenguan. The reign name of Zhenguan has been used for 23 years, and has experienced many ups and downs, shaping the new style of Tang Dynasty that is different from the Sui Dynasty and any previous dynasty.
In the spring of this year, invited envoys from various countries stationed in Chang'an and Luoyang along the way, and cooperated with local wealthy households or dignitaries to build pavilions with their own customs.
A series of special buildings were built one after another in the venue of the World Expo. They are obviously of completely different styles, but they feel extremely harmonious when they are integrated together. Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian felt a vast and beautiful world unfold in front of their eyes while riding horses to inspect.
Li Yuanying inspected it and couldn't sleep at night. He discussed with the system and drew a blueprint of known countries, and asked Dai Ting to find materials to make the blueprint into a magnet puzzle and share it with His Majesty Li Er.
You can't draw a map in private these days, if you draw it too well, others will suspect that you are preparing for a rebellion, so Li Yuanying only drew a rough outline.
Li Yuanying enthusiastically offered treasures to His Majesty Li Er, piecing together the known countries.
On the vast ocean and vast land, there may still be many places and countries they don't know about. These can only be explored after they make better sea ships and train better sailors.
However, they are still young, and Datang is still young. As long as Datang continues to be strong, the whole world will open its arms to Datang.
His Majesty Li Er looked at the map Li Yuanying fiddled with and listened to Li Yuanying's big talk, and felt that there was no one who could talk big like Li Yuanying. However, Li Yuanying's big talk is quite deceptive, and he was a little moved when he heard it. Yes, Datang is still young, and the future of Datang has countless possibilities. What they have to do now is to make Datang strong and keep Go strong.
His Majesty Li Er left Li Yuanying to drink two cups. It was already May, and the weather was a bit hot, but His Majesty Li Er didn't feel bored, probably because he drank some wine, and he took a rest early after nightfall.
After the age of fifty, His Majesty Li Er slept more and more lightly at night, but this night he slept very deeply. It was late at night and the surroundings were quiet, His Majesty Li Er fell into a dream unknowingly.
The light in the dream was also dim, His Majesty Li Er walked forward for a while, and suddenly saw someone sitting there playing a pipa, not playing any other piece, but his favorite "Broken Array". He doesn't like the melodious sounds of the Sui Dynasty, but loves the military music with the air of swords and swords, but the pipa is always more soft and less imposing.
His Majesty Li Er wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound, so he could only sit on one side and listen to a song. At the end of "Broken Array", that person turned around and faced him. It was none other than the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.
The Supreme Emperor stared at Majesty Li Er for a while, and then said: "You seem to have more white hair than me."
After death, everything disappears. No matter how many contradictions there were in life, they should be exposed after death. His Majesty Li Er said: "People will always grow old."
The Supreme Emperor was silent for a moment, and then he put down his pipa and boasted: "You are a good emperor." He looked at His Majesty Li Er, and his soft eyes were finally no longer one emperor looking at another emperor, but a father looking at a father. Son, "You are a good brother."
After finishing these two sentences, the Supreme Emperor disappeared, and the pipa was also gone, and the dream was silent.
His Majesty Li Er opened his eyes, it was still dark outside, but he had to prepare for the grand court meeting.
It was looking at the sun again, the day when Li Yuanying didn't want to get up the most.
Even if he arrives a little late for the office at Honglu Temple or simply skips work on the grounds of going to Ci'en Temple to see the progress of the translation of Buddhist scriptures, basically no one will make small reports. But the Dachaohui was different. If he didn't show up on time for the Dachaohui, he would be sprayed bloody by the censors!
Li Yuanying didn't sleep well last night. When he got up in the morning, he told Wei Shu that he had a dream. In his dream, the emperor said that the pipa he sent was not good, and it still smelled of fat and powder. He asked him if he got it from some woman. .
Knowing that he had married a wife, he asked him if he had any children. This touched Li Yuanying's sore spot. Li Yuanying talked to the Supreme Emperor, saying that he really wanted it but couldn't bear it.
The Taishanghuang was very unreliable, and actually said that since he was reluctant to give birth to the concubine, why not invite a few more women to let them go.
Li Yuanying started arguing with the Supreme Emperor again, saying that this was wrong, and that it was enough for him to have a concubine.
The Taishang Emperor hated that iron could not be made into steel, and said to him: "How can you have eighteen sons like this!"
Li Yuanying woke up with a jolt. He worriedly said to Wei Shu: "What should I do? My father told me in a dream that we would have eighteen sons. But it scared me to death. He didn't mention daughters. If we want to have eighteen sons, we will have eighteen sons." What about my daughter? I don't want you to have so many children, but I want a daughter!"
Wei Shu said: "...it's just a dream. You must have thought about it day and night because you heard that Chengyang is pregnant." Eighteen are really too many, and it will take thirty years to give birth if you can count on it all. Then she doesn't have to do anything for the rest of her life, just keep having children. If that's the case, she really would rather Li Yuanying donate a few women and let them die!
Li Yuanying was right when he thought about it, he dressed neatly and went out to court. For him, the Dachaohui was naturally used to make up for sleep. Li Yuanying yawned and fell asleep. After waking up, His Majesty Li Er had already carried him to the meeting hall to speak.
Li Yuanying saw that Li Er Majesty's expression was not right, so he leaned over and asked with concern: "Brother, did you not sleep well last night? I told you not to worry so much during the day, and it will be difficult to sleep at night if you worry too much!"
His Majesty Li Er said: "I dreamed about my father last night."
Li Yuanying was startled, and his face suddenly changed.
His Majesty Li Er saw Li Yuanying's mournful expression on his face, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"
Li Yuanying said: "It's over, it's over, I also dreamed about it!" He told His Majesty Li Er about his dream, and felt that the dream was more and more terrifying, "Do you still remember when I went to Pingkang with Gao Yang and the others? Fang, I took a fancy to a pipa, and I sent someone to enshrine it to my father at that time. Could it be that one that my father said? Now that it's over, sister Shu and I are really going to have eighteen pipas Son? Royal father, you have already mentioned how many sons you have, so why don’t you say that I don’t have a daughter?”
His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, and gave Li Yuanying an idea: "Didn't you run to abduct Qingque's daughter every day? I don't think you need to give birth by yourself. Why don't you just abduct Youyu to your house?"
Li Yuanying firmly disagreed. A grandniece is a grandniece, and a daughter is a daughter. How can it be the same. When he fell asleep at night, he was muttering, muttering to let the Supreme Emperor come to his dream again, and tell him how to give birth to a daughter with sister Shu.
It's a pity that until the day when the World Expo kicked off, Li Yuanying failed to make the Supreme Emperor fall asleep again.
Fortunately, Li Yuanying has the kind of personality that forgets everything when it gets busy. Even the hot weather after the beginning of summer can't stop his enthusiasm. He dragged Wei Shu around the exhibition halls, admiring the envoys and caravans from various countries. Bring special goods.
Walking in the World Expo, people with different skin colors and eye colors can be seen everywhere, and even their hair colors are a bit colorful.
Li Yuanying strolled happily in the middle, striking up a conversation with interested people from time to time, and buying some special-looking gadgets.
Even Li Yuanying had such a good time, and the people of this country and other countries are even more eye-opening. There are some places in this world that they may not be able to visit in their lifetime, but now they can walk into the exhibition hall to learn about their characteristic dwellings and their customs. , You can even buy one or two small things to go back and tell the little ones at home that there is such a country in the world.
Such an exposition, they may have to visit for several months to have a good time!
The World Expo was indeed postponed again and again under the strong request of the people, and it opened directly from summer to autumn, and tourists from all over the world came in an endless stream every day.
Li Yuanying wandered around every day under the pretext of visiting the exhibition, and tasted all the delicacies brought by various countries, and ate every day to a full stomach.
Liu Baolin was also picked up by Li Yuanying to take him back to Chang'an, accompanied by the chefs of Fengtai Building to taste exotic delicacies at the exhibition every day, to see if he could develop some new dishes. Only by not forgetting to absorb new things at all times can we never lag behind others!
On the day when the World Expo ended successfully, His Majesty Li Er imposed a curfew and held a grand banquet for all the ministers and envoys from various countries. Among the large and small countries participating in the meeting this time, most of them have long been attached to the Tang Dynasty, and there are not a few places where they have communicated for the first time. Envoys from various countries presented gifts to His Majesty Li Er one after another, and many envoys expressed the hope of sending people to Chang'an. Learn Datang culture.
His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, clapped his hands and laughed, and agreed one by one.
After the palace banquet was over, His Majesty Li Er took Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian up to the Zhuque Gate to gaze at the night in Chang'an.
This night, Chang'an City was brightly lit, and the light extended to the pavilions of the World Expo in the distance. The crowds in the square and the market are very lively, and many people seem to be too excited to fall asleep, taking their relatives and friends to enjoy the beautiful night view of Chang'an on the street.
Li Yuanying stole Li Tai's daughter at some point, and climbed up to the heights with her daughter in his arms, pointing out to his nephews and grandnieces where they were. In the end, he took a bunch of radish heads to encourage Yan Liben who was accompanying him: "Draw it, Xiao Yan, you have to draw this lively night scene!" A bunch of radish heads followed Li Yuanying and shouted: "Draw it, draw it!"
His Majesty Li Er saw that Yan Liben was surrounded by a group of older and younger children, he smiled and told Yan Liben to let him do what Li Yuanying wanted.
Li Yuanying got His Majesty Li Er's permission, and immediately pointed out to Yan Liben, first he said how big Yan Liben should paint, and then said what angle he wanted Yan Liben to take. He had already thought about how to paint, but he felt that such a big painting was too tiring Man, he doesn't want to do it himself!
Yan Liben lost his temper because of being pestered by Li Yuanying, so he could only carefully write down a series of requests from Li Yuanying.
So there was the "Chang'an Night Tour Map" which was very popular in later generations. It took more than half a year to complete this painting, which clearly shows many details of Chang'an, and vividly shows the city style, architectural features, clothing characteristics, etc. at that time. Even in the past thousands of years, future generations can restore the prosperous and beautiful Chang'an City according to this painting.
In later generations, this painting has become an important test point for various subjects. For example, Chinese will allow you to silently write many ancient poems extending from this painting. Politics will allow you to analyze the impact of Chang’an on global development during this period. Can you count how many countries participated in the World's Fair at that time...
Of course, these are too far away from the 23rd year of Zhenguan.
People who lived in Zhenguan for 23 years only felt that this year was more lively than any other year in the past. This year, the world outside the Tang Dynasty was truly and clearly shown to them for the first time. Proud of the prosperous and powerful Datang, but also full of curiosity about the vast world.
This seed was planted in the hearts of all Datang people, and it took root and grew vigorously in the following hundreds of years.
In the magnificent Tang Dynasty, all nations came to Korea.
The author has something to say:
[End of text]
It's over, it may be a bit sudden, but it just feels like this is a good ending node.
In May of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er passed away in history.
His Majesty Li Er in this world will be alive, and their stories will continue. When I sorted out the rest of the content, I actually wrote about Jiangnan, Lingnan, and Shuzhong. However, if the text continues like this, everyone It's boring to watch, and I'm not interested in writing it myself, because the text is already very complete. Although the brothers Li Yuanying and His Majesty Li Er have been testing each other and suspecting each other, they have gradually let go of their suspicions and opened their hearts. It is said that the text seems to be looking at the mountains and not happy, even if the whole article is a daily style, it will be easy to get tired if you keep writing like this, so I decided to end the text here.
There will be extra episodes, and if you have anything you want to see in particular, you can also mention it.
Thank you for your company for five months, everyone has extra nutrient solution to give the little prince a final wave (づ￣3￣)づ
