Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

After entering the county town, Li Shimin quickly settled in the place arranged by Xu Xing. The accommodation was a little bad, but it had been cleaned up by someone, and the bedding and other things used in the accommodation were obviously brand new.

Although the conditions were not good, Li Shimin would naturally not be picky. Living in these places is already good, especially in small counties where they are naturally not as good as big cities.

Even if you have money and want to find a better place here, you can't find it. I guess the best place is the county government, but it is impossible for Li Shimin to go to live in the county government. There may be some good places in the local area. Houses, but Li Shimin had already told him in these houses that he could not harass the local members.

Li Shimin's arrival in Zibo County naturally informed Xu Xing in advance, and he explained some things in advance, such as the place where they lived was a contracted inn.

He said he would not go to other places, Xu Xing naturally would not touch that bad luck, Li Shimin would rather spend money now than do these things.

He didn't want to find excuses for Li Ke, although there was a high probability that even if Li Ke knew about it, he wouldn't say much, after all, he was his father.

But Li Shimin would not give him that excuse.

"Aye, Aye, when are we going to the sea?" As soon as we checked into the inn, a few young girls from Jinyang and Xincheng ran over.

"Soon, we'll stay here for two days, then head to the shipyard, and then we'll take a big ship and go straight to Guangzhou, okay? I heard that there are a lot of delicious food in Guangzhou, and there are many animals you haven't seen before." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Okay, but when are we going back to Chang'an?" Jin Yang asked hesitantly.

"What? You don't want to play outside anymore?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"I miss Third Brother." Jinyang hesitated, "Aye, you are so bad. Why didn't you say that you would pass the throne to me? If you don't want to work, just let Third Brother do it. Third Brother must do it every day now very tired."

Looking at Jin Yang's serious face, Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back his laughter. The Empress Changsun next to her stretched out her hand and slapped her on the back of the head: "What are you talking about? Is the throne a joke? The queen mother asked you, obviously If you were made emperor, would you be able to handle political affairs?"

"Can you make the tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty live a good life?"

"There are many difficulties in the things you saw along the way, can you handle them well?"

Jinyang paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

"Isn't that right? Do you think that Aye gave up the throne to your third brother on purpose? It was because Aye was incapable, that's why he threw out the throne. The responsibility of that position is very heavy " Li Shimin looked at Jin Yang seriously and said.

Jin Yang thought for a while, and then said seriously: "I see, then after we go to Guangzhou to play for a few days, Father, can you send me back to Chang'an."

"What are you doing?" Li Shimin looked at her and asked.

"I want to go back to Chang'an to study. Although I also want to play, Sizi is still young. Third brother said, study hard and make progress every day. Now is the time for Sizi to study, not to play. The summer vacation is about to pass. , so Sizi has to go back to class." Jinyang said seriously.

"You can follow Aye, Aye can also teach you, and there are schools and teachers here in Guangzhou. If you return to Chang'an, Aye and your mother will not return to Chang'an for a while." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Then I want to go back too." Jin Yang thought for a while and said after struggling for a long time.

"Haha, okay, if you still want to go back then, Aye will find someone to send you back to Chang'an." Li Shimin nodded and did not refuse. Li Shimin was naturally happy that Sizi could be so sensible.

As for what she said about the throne or not, Li Shimin didn't care. After all, he was not the emperor now, right?

But this time when he came out, Li Shimin had to say that it was indeed a completely different feeling from being in the palace. Only when he got to the place did he know how much the Tang Dynasty had changed.

After staying in Zibo County for two days, Li Shimin continued to go straight to the shipyard. When he arrived at Bohai Shipyard, although he had already prepared in his heart, Li Shimin was still a little shocked to see such a huge shipyard.

In particular, many of the buildings here are built directly from reinforced concrete, and in the huge docks, the keels of ships are being laid continuously.

There are probably thousands of workers working here in the entire shipyard.

There are probably tens of thousands of people living here around the entire shipyard alone, and this place has already become a city with a large area.

Although he knew the strength of Datang's current naval vessels, he could only feel this strength when he was here, even if he was the emperor.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can't understand it.

And when they boarded the fleet and set off for Guangzhou, the vast sea made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun feel an unprecedented shock.

Li Shimin had never been to the seaside. According to history, he seemed to have passed by the sea during his eastern expedition to Goguryeo, but there are no detailed records.

But it is true that Li Shimin has never been to the seaside in his life, and naturally Queen Changsun and the others have also never been to the sea.

Standing on the boat, looking at the undulating waves carrying the boats outside, and the surrounding fleet compared to the boundless ocean, Li Shimin realized that people in the world are actually very small.

"It's the first time I understand why Li Ke doesn't want to be that emperor, but wants to be a happy prince." Speaking of which, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are both good, and neither of them is seasick.

Jin Yang and the other children were also adaptable and did not suffer from seasickness. Although some concubines were not too uncomfortable, the fleet tried to avoid the wind and waves during the passage, but it was not too uncomfortable.

Without seasickness, you can naturally feel the vastness and magnificence of the sea.

"If I hadn't given up the throne, I probably wouldn't have been able to bring you to these places in this life." Li Shimin looked at the ocean outside and said with emotion, "They say that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles, and it is true."

"Yeah, we had fun, but Ke'er probably doesn't know how to slander you as a father in Chang'an." Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing.

"I gave birth to him, and it's not easy to raise him. He can't enjoy it anymore." Li Shimin snorted.

"I heard that the Qinwangzhuang that this boy built for me in Guangzhou is very good. Let's experience it. There is also an island in Linyi that is said to have it. The Zhuangzi has been built for us. If we don't go, It really failed the child's filial piety." Li Shimin said seriously.
