Li Shen did not stop in Chang'an. Early the next morning, Li Shen and his men rode back to the northwest.

He wants to go over there first to take a look at the situation and come back after arranging things.

It is impossible for him to stay outside for a long time. Chang'an City is the political, cultural and economic center.

I was not prepared for what would happen if I was away from Chang'an for a long time.

Since ancient times, which predator has not paid attention to the affairs of the imperial court.

Moreover, Li Shen stayed in Chang'an to ensure that Li Chengqian could ascend the throne smoothly.

After that, he lived a glorious and frivolous life for decades.

In the third month of the twentieth year of Zhenguan, a vision came from the sky, showing the image of a heavenly dog ​​eating the sun. According to folklore, this was a sign of great misfortune.

When the Tengu eats the sun, something bad will happen. It is also said that the emperor has done something wrong.

The imperial court immediately began to appease the people and search for those who spread the rumors.

Li Shen laughed three times when he received the news and sent a handwritten letter back to Chang'an.

Li Shen's method is very simple, defeat magic with magic. If you spread rumors, I will spread rumors too.

The letter he wrote was sent to the palace to Li Shimin. Since outsiders say that the emperor did something wrong, let's say that the Tang Dynasty gave birth to a wise emperor.

The prince personally went to the east to save the people of Goguryeo from fire and water, and secured a huge territory for the Tang Dynasty. The emperor just announced to heaven these few days,

The Tengu's eclipse of the sun is not a bad omen, but a revelation from heaven.

After the vision, the sun shines on the earth, indicating that the Ming Lord is born and everything in the universe is growing brightly. This is a sign of good luck.

It's just that this statement requires Li Shimin's consent. Otherwise, Li Shimin would be screwed if he went out privately and thought they were going to seize power.

Not long after, Datang Daily published an article, "Is the Vision of Heaven and Earth Good or Bad?"

The article first talked about Li Chengqian's great achievements, and then mentioned that His Majesty paid homage to his ancestors in the Ancestral Temple three days ago and reported it to heaven.

Three days later, a vision appeared. Taishi Director Shi confirmed that this was a good omen, indicating that another Mingjun was born in the Tang Dynasty.

Then combined with the vision, it was concluded that Ming Jun was talking about the prince. When the sun rises, the world will be bright.

The prince's name is Li Chengqian. Chengqian means "according to the weather and accepting nature" in the Book of Changes.

The statement was well-founded, and experts came out to support it. The trend among the people suddenly changed.

This has nothing to do with Li Shen. He has returned to Lanzhou without stopping and made a one-day stay.

Li Shen immediately organized everyone to pack their bags and head to Chiling Valley.

Chiling is also known as Riyue Mountain in later generations, with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.

Li Shen's altitude in Lanzhou was only 2,000 meters above sea level. When Li Shen walked halfway, he became less active.

Although I also took rhodiola rosea, I still had some symptoms of chest tightness and asthma.

"Stone, stone." Li Shen shouted while lying in the car.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Tell the team to stop and repair." Li Shen ordered.

Soon the team stopped, and Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui came over to see what happened.

Li Shen got off the carriage and looked around.

"My lord, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Wang Xuance asked.

Li Shen looked at Wang Xuance, then at Xue Rengui, then turned to look at Shitou and Lan Yu'er.

He found that Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui had nothing to do with each other, while Shitou and Lan Yuer had ruddy complexions with an unhealthy color.

"Find a mountain col, let's rest, and then we'll talk." Li Shen squinted his eyes.

The strong wind made it hard for him to keep his eyes open. It was spring now, and the air smelled of earth.

The sky is often filled with yellow sand these days, and sometimes I can’t find my way.

Fortunately, that's not the case in Chiling, otherwise we wouldn't be able to work.

Xue Rengui ordered his guards to find a mountain col to set up camp. Several people sat around Li Shen's tent.

"I plan to stay here for a few days and then hit the road." Li Shen said while eating meat.

"Your Majesty, we have already walked half the distance, why do we need to repair it?" Wang Xuance asked confused.

"Look at Shitou and Lan Yu'er, they are not adapted to this environment and have begun to feel unwell.

Therefore, I cannot move forward. I need to adapt here for a while. I cannot let them lose their lives just to rush on the road. "Li Shen said seriously.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine, you can leave." Shitou and Lan Yu'er didn't want to delay Li Shen's affairs, so they said.

"It's okay. When something happens, it will be too late." Li Shen scolded.

There is no oxygen bottle. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to rush back.

Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui nodded after hearing this. They knew that Li Shenning would not let anyone around him get into trouble if he didn't go.

"That's not right, Xuance, why are you okay?" Li Shen suddenly realized a problem.

"Your Majesty, I have told you a long time ago that I am a martial artist, and I traveled to many places with my father in my early years. Although I have never been to the northwest, I have been to the plateau in the south." Wang Xuance explained.

Can practicing martial arts also resist altitude sickness? Li Shen was surprised. It seemed that he had to practice martial arts when he returned home.

As for the guards and Xue Rengui, one of their training programs is to leave Songzhou and enter Tubo for hunting.

So even if there are a few changes of guards, it will not be affected here.

"Your Majesty, I have observed over the past few days that it will not be easy to build a cement road to Chiling." Wang Xuance said.

These days, some places have beautiful scenery, and some places are filled with yellow sand.

The boundaries of Lanzhou are only windy and sandy, but many places to the northwest are deserts.

“It doesn’t matter, this place is vast and sparsely populated, and we don’t necessarily have to follow the Silk Road.

We repair wherever it's easy to walk, it's just a waste of time and artificial materials.

But it can ensure that the road can be used for a long time, and we can also build a station at a certain distance.

As a resting place for passing merchants, this can earn more money. "

Li Shen said confidently.

The most valuable thing these days is labor. In later generations, for the money that ten people would work for, Li Shen could find a thousand people to do it.

It's nothing more than a waste of materials and transportation costs, but they are insignificant compared to the benefits.

Li Shen's team rested here for more than ten days. Shitou and Lan Yu'er gradually adapted to altitude sickness after taking medicine.

After Li Shen himself no longer felt chest tightness and asthma, the team began to gear up and continue moving forward.

In April, Jiazi, Xiao Yu was removed from his position as the crown prince's Taibao, and was still ranked third under Tong Zhongshu's sect.

Everyone thought that this was His Majesty starting to lay off employees for the Prince, in order to prepare for the Prince's future successful succession.

At the same time, Li Shen's team also arrived at Chiling Mountain Pass.

Li Shen rode a horse and led Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and others to the hillside, overlooking the Chiling Pass.

At this time, there were hundreds of thousands of workers there, densely packed like ants, working hard non-stop.

(I have never been to the northwest, but I know from the Internet that there is a lot of wind and sand there.

So my friends from the Northwest helped me point out something wrong.

An uncle from the northwest told me this when I was taking a train.

He said the wind only blows twice a year there.

Six months for the first shave and six months for the second shave. )
