Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 221 Entering Constantinople

Yang Zheng made up his mind, and returned to Youzhou City through space the next day to meet Li Shimin.

"Chen Yang Zheng sees His Majesty!"

"Oh? King Sai is back? How is it? Did the mission go well?" Li Shimin was no longer surprised by Yang Zheng's sudden appearance, but he was very interested in the situation in Byzantium.

Yang Zheng said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already settled the matter, but this may be the last time I will show my respect to Your Majesty as a courtier, please forgive me!"

Li Shimin couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words: "What? What do you mean by King Sai's words?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Byzantium, His Majesty Heraclius, has already proposed to let me be the crown prince of Byzantium. After thinking about it, I feel that this matter is very promising. Wouldn't it be more beautiful to make the whole world tremble under our feet with the cooperation of Byzantium and Tang Dynasty in the future? I don't know Your Majesty." What do you think?" Yang Zheng smiled and said his thoughts one by one.

Li Shimin's face darkened involuntarily, and he didn't say a word for a long time.But I also thought in my heart that Yang Zheng was already the King of Sai in Datang, and there was no room for him to be sealed again. It was impossible for him to hand over the country of Datang to an outsider, right?However, the condition Heraclius gave was the future emperor of Byzantium. In this way, Yang Zheng would naturally be more attractive.It's just that Yang Zheng's departure will be a blessing or a curse to Datang, it's really unpredictable.

A group of ministers also had gloomy faces. No one dared to come forward to suggest such a big matter.But there are exceptions, Changsun Wuji quickly jumped out: "Your Majesty, Yang Zheng's rebellion is an unforgivable crime!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, this Yang Zheng is favored by His Majesty, but he wants to stand on his own. He obviously wants to rebel! Please take it down quickly, Your Majesty, just in case something happens!" Hou Junji also jumped out immediately.

Li Shimin's face was cloudy and uncertain, obviously he was struggling violently in his heart.He couldn't be more aware of Yang Zheng's talent. If he is let go, even if he doesn't compete with Datang in the future, Byzantium will definitely surpass Datang.But it is too much to say that he rebelled. If he rebelled, would he come to Youzhou City to explain everything to himself?

Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. I am afraid that the King of Sai was deceived by the Byzantine Emperor for a while, so he made such a bad plan. Please send an envoy to question the Byzantine Emperor, and let him take back his order!"

Only then did Li Shimin's expression soften: "Well, King Sai, is that so? If so, I can let it go, but this Byzantium is really abominable. It wants to poach my corner and must be punished."

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is too worried. Being the emperor of Byzantium is not detrimental to Datang and His Majesty. The world is so big today. With the national power of Datang, if you want to unify the world, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to achieve it in your lifetime. Your Majesty will There is no need to wait. That's why I decided to take over Constantinople. When the Tang Dynasty dominates Asia, Byzantium is proud of Europe, and the two countries join forces. Things that hurt the ancestors?"

What Yang Zheng said is also true. The world is so big, and it would be impossible to occupy it all in less than a hundred years. Now the population of Datang is less than [-] million, and the effective utilization rate of land is still very low. What's the point of blind expansion? meaning?But if Byzantium also develops, it will be different. The two countries work together to use the earth's resources and deal with the opposing group together. No one in the world is an opponent.

At this time, Du Ruhui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that King Sai's move is not detrimental to Datang, but more beneficial to Datang. Due to excessive expansion in recent years, Datang's economic development is extremely unbalanced, rich and poor The gap is also showing signs of widening. Wouldn’t it be better to have Byzantium as an external support, allowing the Tang Dynasty to develop peacefully and make up for the shortcomings? Therefore, the old minister suggested that King Sai be the Emperor of Byzantium, but he should also serve as the military commander of the Tang Dynasty With the post of marshal, both the armies of the two countries belong to him, which will definitely make Datang even stronger!"

Du Ruhui's words frightened many ministers into stupidity. Is there such a thing that the emperor of another country also serves as the Grand Marshal of the Tang Dynasty?Isn't this not too crazy?But Fang Mou made a decision, and Li Shimin believed it without a doubt. Now that Du Ruhui boldly proposed it, Li Shimin couldn't help being tempted.In this way, Yang Zheng will continue to be tied to Datang, the aircraft carrier, and Datang's interests are closely related to him, so he will not be disadvantageous to Datang, even though this is Li Shimin's way of judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, At the same time, Li Shimin also placed his bet on Changle. Yang Zheng is his son-in-law, so this can more or less trap him, right?

The other ministers obviously did not have the courage of Du Ruhui, and they were all thinking about how to solve this unprecedented situation.

Li Shimin also had difficulty making a decision, so he had to say: "Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it tomorrow." After that, he went back to the harem.

Yang Zheng also returned to Prince Sai's mansion. As these feudal emperors, it is naturally difficult to figure out such a thing, and Li Shimin is no exception. It was too good, Li Shimin naturally refused to let go.

Except for the servants, everyone in Prince Sai's mansion is in the space, so Yang Zheng simply went back to the space hut.

The oldest group of sons is now 7 years old. Every boy is strong and capable, almost like an adult. These guys practice soldiers and horses in the space every day. If they are taken out for a walk at this moment, they will definitely kill many people in seconds. country's army.And those daughters of space humans are also extremely tough. The humans who popped out of this group of egg balls are simply against the sky.

Daya, Erya, Siya, Liuya, Qiya, and Baya are more refined. They are not interested in fighting, but are very fascinated by poetry, books, rituals, music, astronomy and geography. The six girls plus the three who are still in Byzantium Ya and Wuya became eight talented women, making Yang Zheng's sons and daughters both civil and military, and happy.

Seeing Yang Zheng coming back, several girls also surrounded him.

Da Ya coquettishly said: "Father, you are back, come and take a look at Da Ya's calligraphy."

"En, okay, bring it here and show it to Dad." Yang Zheng absolutely dotes on his daughters, especially Da Ya, who is so cute.

Da Ya quickly ran into her boudoir and took out a set of calligraphy, which made Yang Zheng nod his head: "Well, Da Ya's calligraphy has improved a lot and looks like Wang Xizhi. But you have to keep working hard, there is no end to learning, You can only keep improving if you work hard.”

"Father, I know, it's really long-winded." The big girl curled her lips in dissatisfaction and ran into the house to continue practicing calligraphy.

Here Erya jumped on Yang Zheng again: "Dad, everyone's small garden is blooming, Dad come with me to have a look."

"Yeah, Second Sister's garden is so beautiful." The Siya beside him also chimed in.

"Okay, let's go, Dad go and have a look." Following the girls into the small garden next to the space hut, two wolf dogs (offspring of dire wolves and native dogs) were guarding the garden gate.

"Dahei, Xiaohei, get out of the way, daddy wants to see my little garden." Erya kicked a wolfdog unceremoniously, and the two dogs ran away wagging their tails.

In the garden, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, with charming fragrance, red orange yellow green blue blue purple, which makes people dazzled.Bees contend for and butterflies dance, a lively scene.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but took a deep breath, and said: "My son is really ingenious. This garden is full of flowers, and Dad likes it very much."

Arya, who was praised, also smiled with satisfaction.

Other girls also took out their works for Yang Zheng to comment on. Even the youngest Yaya drew a family portrait. In the painting, Yang Zheng supported Yang to sit in the center, while Liu Ying, Alice and other girls stood Behind them, a group of children are standing, sitting, running, walking, laughing, or crying. The paintings are so lifelike that Yang Zheng is very impressed.

"Okay! My good girls are all a group of talented girls. They will definitely be great when they grow up in the future. Dad can only bow down!" For children, Yang Zheng naturally praised them generously, which would be more conducive to their growth and development. and facilitate their thinking.Moreover, these girls have absorbed the aura of space, and their intelligence is even more extraordinary.

Seeing so many sons and daughters, Yang Zheng couldn't help but become more determined to take over Constantinople, not for anything else, in case the space disappears one day, these sons and daughters can have a better place to live.

Constantinople, I, Yang Zheng, are here!
At the same time, Li Shimin was also lying in the arms of Empress Changsun, talking to his wife about his doubts.

"Your Majesty, Yonggui is Changle's husband-in-law. Even if he becomes the emperor of Byzantium, he will definitely not harm His Majesty. What's more, Yonggui has a kind heart. You see, he treats Turks, Khitans, Persians and Other nations are so friendly, so how could they have any dissent towards their homeland? With the ability of returning home bravely, it is easy to get rid of His Majesty's shackles, so why should Your Majesty bother with it? The concubine thinks returning home bravely is a big deal Tang Hao, for the good of the people of the world, although his goal is too ambitious, I believe that he will be able to accomplish it, so ah, your majesty, you can let him go this time. With Byzantium as a powerful foreign aid, Datang will be able to do better. It's easy to deal with, isn't it?" Empress Zhangsun is worthy of being a wise empress, after some analysis, Li Shimin's brows gradually eased.

"Empress, what you said, I understand a little bit, no matter what, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I have conquered such a large country, which is enough to comfort my ancestors. If my children and grandchildren can't keep it, no wonder I am. It’s just going back bravely, and my heart hurts.” Li Shimin was relieved, although he was reluctant to part with Yang Zheng, but the reality is like this, if he blindly relies on Yang Zheng, the development of other people in Datang will inevitably be restricted, and Datang left Yang Zheng , don't you want to turn around?
The couple looked at each other and smiled, and the bondage on Yang Zheng was finally released.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin announced his decision: "My dear friends, after thinking about it last night, I have already made a decision. King Sai has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Although I have made him king, I can't give him more. Now Byzantium The throne is vacant, I can't be selfish anymore, let King Sai go. However, he still needs to serve as the Marshal of the Great Tang Army and Horses. , what do you think?"

Yang Zheng said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling it!"

After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, Yang Zheng quickly recruited 100 million peasants through the space, brought all the grain and livestock, and landed outside Constantinople.

A guard reported to the palace earlier, and Heraclius was overjoyed. Seeing the scene in front of him, Heraclius was a little stunned. There are so many people, so many livestock, and so many grain seeds. The good days of Byzantium are coming soon. !

"My son has worked hard, and I will summon civil and military officials to formally establish your position as the crown prince!"
