Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Chengqian was dressed in fine clothes, carrying a long bow and riding a tall horse. In addition, Li Chengqian was young and handsome.

It gives people a heroic feeling.

At first glance, Li Shimin saw how he looked when he was young, exactly like Li Chengqian.

Especially now that Li Chengqian is mature and steady, and he doesn't panic when things happen.

There was always a slight smile on his face.

This is what Li Shen taught him. He must keep smiling in front of others, no matter what happens or how difficult the situation is.

That way other people can't see what you're thinking.

How could such an heir not make Li Shimin like him? The emperor should not be dark in his heart, but must be vigorous and vigorous.

"Brother, you came at the right time. I just shot a deer, and I can take it orally today."

Li Shen excitedly showed off to Li Chengqian.

"Old Shi, was it you who shot him to death? It was obviously Aye who shot him to death." Li Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and said.

Li Tai also nodded in agreement, and even Li Shimin looked disgusted.

"I shot the first arrow, Aye just made two more arrows." Li Shen quibbled.

The guard was carrying the deer over. Li Shen got off his horse and came closer, and pulled out his crossbow arrow.

"Look, I shot this."

Li Shen showed the mark of Prince Ji's Mansion on the crossbow arrow, which was the character Ji.

I just lost such a big person, no matter what, I have to find it back.

"Haha, the tenth brother is really amazing."

Li Chengqian also guessed what was going on, but he still praised him. This is the responsibility of being an eldest brother and protecting his younger brother.

"Okay, you shot it. Someone come and clean up the deer and bring it back to Yuhua Palace." Li Shimin didn't want Li Shen to get entangled here.

"Gao Ming, go shoot a few prey and bring them back to the East Palace."

Anyway, he came here, and Li Chengqian got dressed again, so he couldn't come in vain.

Li Chengqian actually liked riding and shooting, so he thanked him and galloped on his horse.

Li Shimin and several younger brothers were here to watch.

Needless to say, Li Shen really admired Li Chengqian. As a prince, his training was comprehensive.

Li Chengqian is indeed much better than his brothers in all aspects.

He is better at martial arts, archery, and polo than Li Shen and others, and he is much better at dancing than Li Shen.

Li Chengqian played for half an hour before returning. The guards brought six or seven prey.

Li Shimin was smiling throughout the whole process, which was completely different from his attitude towards Li Shen, which made the three brothers who were secretly observing curse in their hearts.

Li Shen was angry that Li Chengqian shot better than him, but the two brothers' eyes were filled with jealousy.

Ten years ago, Li Shimin would only have this expression when he saw the two brothers.

This is especially true for the fat man Li Tai.

Li Shimin loved him so much that even Li Chengqian was jealous. He was allowed to enter the palace in a sedan chair. Who could have this honor and be the prince who just barely moved into the Wude Palace?

But it's been a long time since I've been treated like this.

Yuhua Palace and Sucheng Palace.

Queen Changsun was very happy when she learned that her sons were here. Because Li Shen was there, she took Concubine Wei to Sucheng Hall.

Tea and snacks were set out for these people.

Knowing that Li Shen came in person today to say goodbye and that he would soon leave for the Qinghai capital thousands of miles away, the two mothers couldn't help but nag a few words and give some instructions.

Li Shen nodded obediently and said some nice words to make the two mothers very happy.

Drinking tea and chatting about other things, the family seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, neither Li Zhi nor Li Tai showed any dissatisfaction with Li Shen.

"Li Shen, don't mess around when you go to Qinghai's important town this time, put the overall situation first.

I don’t need to tell you what you should do.

You should also understand what the court wants.

But one thing is to be more careful. After opening prescriptions and trading, it will be a mixed bag.

I estimate that not only Tubo, but also some nearby northern tribes may also go.

There are also merchants from the Western Regions who will stop there to save time on the road.

No matter what happens, you have to remember that I just want you to come back alive.

I have asked Zhongshu to draw up a decree. If there is an accident, 50,000 troops will be at your disposal.

I give you the ability to do things cheaply. You can do it first and report later. "

Li Shimin did not describe Qinghai Road as too dangerous because he was afraid that Queen Changsun and Concubine Wei would worry.

The important town of Qinghai Road is at the Chiling Pass, which blocks the only way to enter the Central Plains from the north.

Tubo would never easily allow such an important strategic location to fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

It is also unknown whether the Western Turks in the Western Regions will disturb Tibet or attack from both front and rear.

In addition, this place is not far from the Silk Road. For a long time, many merchants from the Western Regions will give up going to Chang'an and trade in the important town, where there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons.

Even if Li Shen went there, he didn't know if he could calm down the situation.

The Qinghai capital was too far away from the local cities of the Tang Dynasty, and even reinforcements would take a long time. It was an isolated city there.

"Don't worry Aye, I will be careful when I go there, and I will also take precautions. It will not be easy for them to easily capture the Qinghai capital."

Li Shen comforted.

Why did he spend tens of millions of dollars to build such a big city? It was just in case.

The city wall of Qinghai Daojun is higher than the city wall of Chang'an City. It is made of stone concrete and refined iron.

Li Shen was built with real money and silver, and he would never collapse after farting.

Coupled with the complete weapons and equipment and the guarding of 50,000 border troops, Li Shen was confident that he could hold off several times the enemy force.

Moreover, Li Shen also has secret weapons in his hand, hot air balloons and kerosene bombs. In the past two years, the institute has been continuously researching,

The stability of the hot air balloon has been greatly improved. Although it cannot be said to fly very far, it is certainly not a problem to defend the city.

"Tenth brother, Aye is right. It's better to be careful. We need to open up mutual markets, so it's easy to be taken advantage of."

Li Chengqian also followed suit.

"Yes, I will be careful."

"Oh, Lao Shi, Fourth Brother is very envious of you for actually being able to take charge of your own affairs and share Aye's worries. It's not a waste of our status as princes.

It's a pity that the fourth brother has more than enough ambition, but not enough power. "Li Tai sighed enviously.

Seeing Li Tai's hypocritical appearance, Li Shen felt disdainful. But with a smile on his face:

"No matter what the fourth brother says, the younger brother has no choice. If the fourth brother wants to share Aye's worries, it is better to go with the younger brother.

And Ninth Brother, we have nothing to do in Chang'an anyway, why don't we go to the northwest with my little brother and experience the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty? "

Hearing what Li Shen said, the expressions on Li Tai and Li Zhi's faces were a little unnatural. The northwest was a bitterly cold place.

It would be better to go somewhere as comfortable as Chang'an. ,

"Oh, it's not that Fourth Brother doesn't want to go. Look at Fourth Brother, he can't even walk, let alone go to the northwest to help you.

It is better to concentrate on studying at home and not cause trouble to Aye. "Li Tai laughed bitterly and laughed at himself.

"Fourth brother is wrong. Isn't it right? Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Even if fourth brother can't walk, he can still support the younger brother over there." Li Shen refused to give up.

Originally, Li Shen didn't expect these two brothers to go, he just said that to try to get rid of them.

But he didn't notice that Li Shimin's eyes lit up after hearing Li Shen's words, as if he had thought of something.

(Sucheng Hall is where Tang Monk lived.

In the fourth year of Xianqing's reign, Xuanzang came to Yuhua Temple on orders and lived in Suchengyuan (formerly Sucheng Hall) for more than 4 years to translate Buddhist scriptures. He completed the translation of 14 Buddhist scriptures and 682 volumes including the "Maharaja Paramita Sutra" and other Buddhist scriptures.

After the translation of the "Mahaprajna Sutra" was completed, Xuanzang had become ill due to long-term fatigue and passed away in Suchengyuan of Yuhua Temple in the first year of Linde in Tang Dynasty. He was 65 years old. )
