As Li Dan told the whole story, Li Hong's face was full of realization, while Wu Mei's face was depressed. Unexpectedly, the words he originally wanted to hit them and stop their endless creation actually clicked. After waking them up, these three losers decided to build another train.
Li Hong curled his lips and thought for a long time. The reason is naturally not difficult to understand. Although this train is the best technology of Datang, there are some places that were not considered from the perspective of funding when it was started this time. Thorough renovation or maintenance has been carried out, so obviously the black smoke and the situation of lying down after running for two miles are not unrelated to the rust mentioned by Long Ma.
Even if the parts are not rusty, there may be some small problems that are easily overlooked, which leads to the billowing smoke and the inability to run far.
Wu Mei looked at the three prodigal sons with regret. Under her unintentional prompting, they began to gather together again to discuss the train renovation plan after Yuan Day, as well as the renovation of the power plant and the increase of power.
After the first day, Li Xian will also return to Chang'an from the Qianling Mausoleum. Wu Mei looks at Li Zhe and Li Dan, who have been trained by Li Hong to become his right-hand men, as well as those who are now traveling in the Tang Dynasty and are like Taoist censors. Li Sujie, Li Shangjin, and even she herself realized that if Li Xian returned to Chang'an, wouldn't it seem a bit redundant? Can he integrate into the circle of Li Hong and Li Dan again
Yuanri originally wanted to go to Luoyang, but now in the Daming Palace in Chang'an, in the past three years, after she returned to Penglai Pavilion, her filial son Li Hong carried out large-scale reconstruction of Penglai Pavilion, even Daming Palace, and the entire imperial city. Construction and improvements.
This allows Wu Mei to enjoy her favorite peonies all year round without leaving home in Penglai Pavilion. Therefore, the time to go to Luoyang is much shorter than in previous years. Basically, she is either in Chang'an or in other places. Accompanied by Princess Li Hong, she spent several months enjoying the scenery of various places in the Tang Dynasty.
Another reason why Wu Mei cannot go to Luoyang to live for a while this year is that after the Lantern Festival this year, foreign countries from all over the Tang Dynasty will once again gather in Chang'an on a large scale to pay homage to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Hong.
Whether it is Zhenla in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, or Dashi, which has been fighting for years, or the Japanese country, Goguryeo, etc., they will all come to Chang'an after the Shangyuan Festival.
In addition to bringing a large amount of tribute to the Tang Dynasty, these people hope that the Tang Dynasty can help them solve the disputes in their respective countries. After all, they are not blind, and they also know that the various strange situations in their countries are all caused by It comes from the overt and covert mischief of the Tang Dynasty.
So seeing the long dispute with no end, they couldn't help but start to hope to go to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could help them resolve the dispute.
Naturally, it was also one of their conditions for them to bow their heads in the future, or to be willing to become tributaries of the Tang Dynasty.
Compared with other small countries, Dashi and Japan were more valued by the Tang Dynasty court. After they arrived in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty court not only sent the Ministry of Rites to greet them, but even the imperial concubine went there in person after the people from the Ministry of Rites left. Visited them.
Saleh once again lived in the place where he lived a few years ago. Similarly, Sultan also ran over. It was just the relationship between the two, or the fight between the royal family and the clan in Dashi that made the two now The relationship between them is even colder than before.
But those who arrived one day earlier than them were Hassan of Khawalij, and Zubair of the Cordo family who had been secretly supported by the Tang Dynasty all year round.
Therefore, when Li Hong told Yeyue and Princess Dalai that Saleh and Prince Dajin would arrive in Chang'an soon, the two women were so happy that they had tears in their eyes and could not speak to themselves for a long time.
This made Li Hong feel a little baffled. He had promised them long ago that neither Saleh nor Prince Dajin would die in the chaos of their country. Now they are both alive and coming to Chang'an to visit them. They Why do you act like Saleh and Prince Otsu are dead
Such questions naturally aroused the jealousy of the two women, and then they took Li Hong's left and right hands, hoping that Li Hong could help their elder brother and younger brother calm down the chaos in the country, just because they were in dire straits due to successive years of war. In the face of the people.
Facing the two princesses with tearful eyes, Li Hong could only agree temporarily in order to keep his ears clean, but he could not guarantee that he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, could mediate their domestic political affairs. After all, he was only the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor, not their Emperor.
With such a humble and cautious answer, what Li Hong didn't expect was that the two women actually pooped on him, insisting that he was hypocritical. He clearly wanted to be the emperor of Dashi and Japan, but now he said so. It was really hypocritical. .
Therefore, under the contempt of the two women, Li Hong sincerely suggested that when they go to visit their elder brothers, it is best to take their sons with them and let them see, you have not had time in Datang these years. After all, Tang Dynasty gave birth to two princes.
The two girls have no doubt that he has their son, who has always treated them like a treasure. Naturally, they also want to bring him to their brothers so that they can take a good look at it. Now that they have married into the Tang Dynasty and become the imperial concubine, they have not stopped or objected. Such a miserable situation as mentioned, on the contrary, his status in the Tang Dynasty is also very noble.
After the two women left with their children, the eunuchs, maids, and guards in the palace, and held the guard of honor for the imperial concubines of the Tang royal family, Bai Chun came over from outside.
"Your Majesty, by doing this, aren't you afraid of what Saleh or Prince Ojin might think?" Bai Chun asked, looking at Li Hong who was sitting in the study, either deep in thought or in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Hong turned his head, smiled warmly at Bai Chun, and then snuggled up with Bai Chun on the sofa next to him.
"Aren't you afraid that after they take this opportunity to get to know several young princes, they will do something to threaten you when they leave the Tang Dynasty? Aren't you worried about them..." Bai Chun considered the words, But it has been made very clear.
Li Hong first smiled disdainfully, and then sighed longly and said, "I have been thinking about this when you came in just now. How can you let them have the courage to do such a thing? Because Li Cheng has My bloodline with Yeyue's is also my bloodline with that of Datang and Dashi. What reason or method can be used to make the nobles of Dashi notice Li Cheng's existence? And Dali and I? How can Li Yi, the son of the princess, enter the royal center of Japan and become a person who cannot be ignored. "
Although Bai Chun knew Li Hong's thoughts years ago, and had discussed His Majesty's thoughts with the Empress Dowager in Penglai Pavilion, now that he heard Li Hong say it, Bai Chun could not help but feel a wave of fright. , it is even more difficult to see the man in his arms clearly, but the ambition he reveals is probably a huge ambition that no one in this world has ever dared to think of.
But Bai Chun was helpless about this matter. Even if she tried hard, she didn't know how to let the two young princes naturally enter the center of power in Dashi or Japan.
But now that the words have come to light, the prince of Your Majesty and Princess Dalai is already twelve years old this year. If he cannot get into the eyes of the rulers of the Japanese country at this time, no matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is in the future, he will try to kill Prince Li Yi. It is also difficult to be included in the powerful class of Japan.
"I don't know, but it's not enough if Your Majesty is willing to give it up. You also have to be willing to give it up to Yeyue and Princess Dalai. After all, Li Cheng and Li Yi are also their children..." Bai Chun helped Li Hong feel helpless. Rubbing his temples, or more appropriately, Bai Chun was holding Li Hong's head in his arms.
"What can they do if they don't agree? Let them be idle princes in Chang'an? Is it interesting? Besides, it would be good if two princes are in Chang'an. The others... should be released if they can. Just treat them as free and give them to everyone. Let's make some contributions to Japan." At the end, Li Hong laughed unconsciously in Bai Chun's arms.
Think about it, if in the future, Li Cheng can become the master of Dashi, Li Yi can become the master of Japan, and then the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong and Goguryeo are arranged, what will the Tang Dynasty have to fear
Even if they all rise up to rebel against the Tang Dynasty in the future, so what? It is not impossible for the emperor to take turns when the king is successful and the bandits are defeated. Even if someone else destroys the Tang Dynasty, how can the so-called new emperor escape the roots of the word "Huaxia"
No matter what, as long as I can do it in my lifetime, if I look around, all the four seas are the territory of the Tang Dynasty, or all the four seas are the Chinese culture, this is enough. Fifty years later, at least In this Asia, I’m afraid everyone’s surname is Huaxia.
The two of them sat in the imperial study room, putting aside the matter between Ye Yue and Princess Dalai. After chatting for a few words, Hua Meng cautiously said at the door: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess wishes to see you."
"What's she doing here again?" Li Hong stood up from Bai Chun's chest. His face, which was still fresh and fresh at first, turned dark instantly.
Bai Chun, on the other hand, began to lower his head, laughing non-stop, and his thin shoulders began to shake uncontrollably because of what happened some time ago in his mind.
"Smile, what's so funny? What's she doing here? First ask her if she realizes her mistake?" Li Hong patted Bai Chun's round and slender thigh, but obviously he didn't care about Bai Chun who was still laughing. What effect.
"This... Your Majesty..." Hua Meng knew better than anyone else that His Majesty's most loved one was Princess Taiping, so he did not dare to refuse Princess Taiping's request easily.
But since the last time Her Majesty and some ministers were exposed to the black smoke from the train, Her Majesty Princess Taiping temporarily revised the edition of "Fang Jian Tian Xia" the next day and published the incident where Her Majesty and the ministers were exposed to the black smoke.
So His Majesty was so angry that he had been having a cold war with Princess Taiping for almost two months.
