Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 337 The heartbroken Li Shimin: Call Concubine Li!
The world is like a chess game.

A place in the southwest.

It is an extremely important part in the development pattern and planning of the entire Tang Dynasty.

First is Jiannan, right under Chang'an's nose.

It has always been known as the land of abundance.

Natural conditions such as dangerous terrain, fertile land and abundant resources.

This place has been regarded as a granary throughout the ages.

Only after Qin conquered Ba and Shu did it have the capital to go east through Hangu Pass and then unify the world.

Later, Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, also starting with the King of Han.

It goes without saying that such important and dangerous places are of great importance to the Tang Dynasty.

As long as Chang'an firmly controls Jiannan, it can meet its basic needs and also overlook the rest of the world.

Second.

The Chang'an-Tuoba-Tianzhu line has now been completed.

Then we have to consider Chang'an-Southwest-Tianzhu and Chang'an-Southwest-Southeast.

These two lines are extremely core to the current and future development of Datang.

With Chang'an as the center, the east and north patterns have been formed, while the west and south directions are still under planning.

At last.

The Tang Dynasty planned to establish a port on the southern coast of the Indian Ocean to provide a place for ships along the eastern coast of the Tang Dynasty to stop and resupply.

The southern port is an extremely important fulcrum.

With this fulcrum, Tianzhu’s resources could be transported by sea to the southern ports, and then by land via Jiannan to Chang’an.

In this way, compared to walking along the coastline to Malacca and then to the east coast, it greatly saves consumption and time costs.

This way.

The Tang Dynasty had four external routes that provided a steady supply of blood to Chang'an.

Chang'an-Tubana-India.

Chang'an - Southwest - India.

Chang'an - South - India.

Chang'an - East - Tianzhu.

Not only that, the southern Indian Ocean port can also support great maritime exploration, whether continuing westward or southward.

They can all play the role of key nodes.

Therefore, no matter what, managing the southwest is now on the agenda of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a great plan that will benefit future generations.

However, there are many restrictive factors at present.

In the southwest and the south, uncivilized savages can be said to be everywhere. In the deep mountains and old forests, there are countless savages who eat raw meat and drink blood.

If you want to manage the area and open up routes, it is easy, but the first thing is how to solve these unstable factors.

……

The court has not yet reached a conclusion on how to take action in the southwest.

Right now, everyone is still focused on getting this year's grand court meeting done, so the matter of the Six Kingdoms has been put aside for the time being.

Let the Jiannan government and army be on guard against invasions by the Liuzhao tribes and savages at all times.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and respectfully ask about His Royal Highness's health."

Golden Light Gate.

Li Chengqian came in person to welcome Li Ke back to the court.

Li Ke got out of the car quickly and walked forward to pay his respects.

"Saburo!"

Li Chengqian smiled and helped him up, saying, "Gu'an."

"But I see that you have lost weight."

"Are you feeling well?"

He looked at him with concern and reached out his hand to feel around Li Ke's body for a while.

Li Ke said: "Your Highness is worried, I am fine."

"Good good."

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and looked at Duke of Chen Hou Junji.

"Duke Chen!"

Hou Junji leaned forward and said, "Your Highness!"

"You have made great contributions to Tubo over the years."

Li Chengqian said: "Although you went there with a guilty conscience, the Holy Emperor, me, and the court have all seen it all over the years."

"After coming back this time, there is no need to go to Tubo."

This was the guarantee he gave to Hou Junji.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Hou Junji is no longer the Hou Junji of the past.

He has apparently been trained to become a calm and restrained military officer.

It can be seen that he seems to have read a lot of books, and his overall temperament is less rough and more elegant and easy-going.

"Your Highness... minister."

Hou Junji looked excited, but hesitated to speak.

He tossed and turned many nights, wondering when he could return to Chang'an.

Now that day has come, after receiving the promise.

He was inexplicably unable to let go.

"All right."

"Follow me into the city."

Li Chengqian said: "Duke Chen will take a rest for two days, and then he and the King of Wu will go to Taiji Palace to meet His Majesty."

Entering Chang'an City, it's time to say goodbye.

While riding on the sedan chair, he said to Hou Junji, "When you have time, go and pay a visit to the Prince of Hejian."

"He should be waiting for you too."

Hear the words.

Hou Junji was stunned.

In an instant, I was overwhelmed with emotions and my heart was surging.

“Am I accepted back?”

Li Chengqian ignored Hou Junji who was distracted and left.

It is an indisputable fact that Hou Junji is not liked by the military attaché group.

This return can be regarded as a return to the embrace of the military attaché group.

……

The remaining matters will be handed over to officials from the Secretariat and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The food that Li Ke brought back this time almost stretched for dozens of miles.

More than ten billion kilograms of grain.

How to store it is still a problem.

But Li Chengqian doesn't need to worry about this, Changsun Wuji and Liu Li will take care of it.

Li Ke simply washed up, put on a low-key casual outfit, and came to the East Palace.

"I was originally planning to let you have a good rest for two days, but since you and I are brothers getting together, we must arrange a welcoming banquet for you."

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "This fellow Zhinu and Erlang go to Tiangongyuan all the time."

"Recently, he has gone even crazier. He lives in Tiangongyuan and doesn't even go back to Chang'an."

With no outsiders in the East Palace, Li Ke felt much more relaxed and said with a smile, "Zhi Nu, this kid, knew when I would be back, but he didn't come to pick me up."

"I can't explain it anyway. I'll ask him about it when he comes back." "Haha, I won't say anything then. You can do whatever you want."

Li Chengqian said: "Changle, Gaoyang and the others will be here soon."

The two talked about some things in Chang'an.

Li Chengqian also revealed the news to him. Li Ke was shocked. He did not expect that there would be such changes in the court so soon.

"Did Gao Yang not make a fuss?"

Fang Xuanling was her father-in-law, and his retirement was actually a big blow to Gao Yang.

"Noisy, why not?"

Li Chengqian said helplessly: "You have come to me many times."

"I feel that Fang Xuanling has suffered an unprovoked disaster. It is unreasonable to do this."

"However, this girl was turned down by me, and she went back to make a scene at Lu's."

"I heard from people that they just don't like this mother-in-law anyway..."

Gao Yang's temper is well known.

Her father-in-law, a pillar of the family who could have brought her great political influence, was brought down just like that.

It would be strange if Gao Yang had no opinion on Mother-in-law Lu.

Li Ke shook his head and said, "This is Gao Yang's temper."

"Let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about Tianzhu."

……

"Go quickly, go quickly."

"How could I forget it?"

Li Zhi was very anxious and said to Li Jue in dissatisfaction: "Erlang, it's you, this fellow. I told you that I returned to Chang'an yesterday."

"You had to drag me to do the experiment until this morning. Not only did you sleep late, but you couldn't even get up."

Li Jue said indignantly, "What do you mean I have to pull you?"

"It was you who insisted on getting involved."

"It's your responsibility to pick up Uncle Wu."

Li Zhi glared and said, "Shouldn't you?"

"Aye didn't call me." Li Jue curled his lips.

This made Li Zhi so angry that his nose almost became crooked.

"So what do you think, will kerosene work?" Li Zhi had no choice but to ask for comfort.

"How should I know? You should ask Taoist Li and the others."

"You...you really pissed me off."

Arriving at the East Palace, the uncle and nephew immediately became sneaky and cautious.

"Di Renjie, how is Aye feeling?"

This was the first thing Li Jue asked after seeing Di Renjie.

Di Renjie said with a straight face, "I am talking to His Royal Highness the King of Wu."

"asshole……."

Li Jue was furious, "How dare you fool me?"

"Uncle Jin, come on!"

Di Renjie was shocked. Coming again, right?

Li Jue grabbed Di Renjie's hands and Li Zhi hugged his neck, both of them had vicious expressions.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Li Zhi said sternly: "If you don't tell me, I'll make you suffer."

"Di Renjie, considering that you are my good friend, if you tell the truth, I can let you go." Li Jue threatened in a timid manner.

Di Renjie cried out sadly, what a sin I have suffered.

In the past, he could still deal with the emperor's grandson, but now there is also the Prince of Jin who is quite powerful.

It's simply impossible to resist.

"It should be good."

Di Renjie said, "This time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu brought back tens of millions of dan of grain. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely be happy."

"Humph, why didn't you just say so earlier?"

Li Jue said dissatisfiedly: "You have to force us to use force."

After the two men let go, they each straightened their robes and pretended nothing had happened.

"Uncle Jin, let's go!"

"you go first!"

"No, you are the elder, you go first."

"Now you know I'm your elder?"

"My nephew has always regarded you as an elder."

The two men walked forward, and Di Renjie followed behind. If they had known this would happen, they would not have done it in the first place. What would you be afraid of if you had come earlier?

Li Jue suddenly turned around, stared at Di Renjie and said, "Don't complain!"

Di Renjie said frantically, "Your Highness, am I the one who told tales?"

"That's not it."

Soon, laughter was heard in the hall.

Li Zhi and Li Jue both breathed a sigh of relief. Their brother (Aye) seemed to be in a really good mood.

"Aye, Uncle King Wu."

"Brother, Third Brother."

When the uncle and nephew entered, they immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Li Chengqian was smiling, but Li Ke had a fierce look on his face.

"Zhi Nu, Er Lang, I am not liked by you."

"Luckily I brought you something from Tianzhu."

Li Zhi's scalp tingled, but the next moment he saw Li Jue rushing towards Li Ke like a swallow throwing itself into his arms.

There was a pop.

Li Ke, who was kneeling, was thrown to the ground by Li Jue without any preparation.

"Uncle San, I miss you so much."

"I like you so much."

what?
It's still possible.

Li Zhi was a little confused. He was struggling in his mind: would it be inappropriate for a grown-up like him to pounce on him?

"Erlang, get out of the way."

Li Ke shouted.

"I can't afford it, Third Uncle is the best."

"You're a scoundrel."

"I just like Uncle San."

"you……."

Li Ke was so annoyed by Li Jue that he had no choice but to forgive him.

There was a welcoming banquet in the evening and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Someone in Taiji Palace was very sad.

You didn't call me, did you?

A bunch of treacherous sons and daughters!

"Call Concubine Li!"
