Chapter 748: Arrive in Chang'an

Yun Ni looked at Li Yan blankly, and the image of the young King Qi in her mind slowly coincided with Mr. Yang in front of her. This made her finally sure that the person in front of her was Li Yan, who had not seen for more than 20 years. Although they had only met him a few times, because of Li Yan's identity and extraordinary performance, Yun Ni had a deep impression of Li Yan. So even after so many years, when she saw Li Yan who changed her image again, she still felt very familiar, and finally recognized him...

Thinking of Li Yan's identity, and when he saw him again after more than 20 years, the other party would care about his life and take the initiative to help him when he was most helpless. This made Yun Ni excited and deeply moved, and her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were filled with tears, which looked like she was crying but she didn't dare to cry.

"You...You..." Yun Ni opened her trembling lips and wanted to call out the word "Your Majesty" several times, but she was too excited and couldn't scream it out. At the same time, she wanted to stand up and salute Li Yan, but she was not obedient in her whole body and couldn't stand up at all.

Seeing Yun Ni's appearance, Li Yan was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that after so many years, the other party would still remember him. Li Yan showed a peaceful smile to Yun Ni and said, "Okay, now my identity is Mr. Yang, so don't care about those common etiquettes!"

Perhaps Li Yan's words played a role, or maybe Yun Ni slowly calmed down the excitement in her heart when she saw the warm smile on Li Yan's face. At the same time, she was also a smart person. Seeing Li Yan's current appearance, she naturally guessed that he did not want to reveal his identity, so she did not get up. Instead, she said to Li Yan with a choked voice: "Thank you... Thank you Mr. Yang for helping him. Mr. Yang is very kind. The people's daughters cannot repay him. They only want to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay him with great kindness!"

However, after hearing this, Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Yun Ni, you don't have to see you. Your husband Zhou Tongyi, if I guess correctly, he should be from the Zhou family in Yangzhou, that is, my wife's mother tribe. I believe that the big man who takes care of him should be Zhou Long. Therefore, we are all a family. You are treated like this in the Zhou family and are in the territory of Daqi. Therefore, I have a responsibility for both public and private matters, and you don't have to thank me too much!"

Li Yan guessed correctly. Shuruo's father was indeed from the Zhou family in Yangzhou, which is the family of Wen Xin's mother, Mrs. Zhou. And if we count it, Zhou Tongyi was Wen Xin's distant cousin, and Zhou Long's junior. It was Zhou Long's help that made Zhou Tongyi come to Daqi. Unfortunately, his surname is really not suitable to be in the officialdom.

It is also worth mentioning that in the second year of Li Shimin's death, Wen Xin's true life experience was also revealed by Li Yan, which naturally caused an uproar between Datang and Daqi. No one expected that the Queen of Daqi would have such a tortuous identity. At the beginning, there were also questions, believing that Li Yan made up a lie in order to make up for Wen Xin's identity as the daughter of Wen Xin. However, with the testimony of Huli, brothers, Lu Qing, Lu Hong and others, no one questioned Wen Xin's identity again.

Moreover, Li Yan's move also made Lu Hong and other old ministers of the Liang Kingdom very grateful. After all, the only bloodline left by their lord can finally be made public in front of the world. This was something they dreamed of. In addition, Xiao Xian had a strong reputation in the south of the Tang Dynasty. With the announcement of Wen Xin, many old and young people from the Liang Kingdom moved to Daqi one after another, which was also an unexpected surprise.

Although Li Yan said this, Yun Ni's gratitude to him did not reduce the amount of time. At this time, the little girl Shuruo finally wiped out half of the big lobster in front of her. Although she still wanted to eat it, her belly could no longer eat it. Only then did she remember that her mother had not eaten it yet, so she began to use a small fork to feed her piece of lobsters to her mouth. Because it was in front of Li Yan, Yun Ni felt a little embarrassed, but she was not able to refuse her daughter's kindness, so she had to blush and finish the remaining lobsters.

It has to be said that the Ping An is very fast. It took less than five days in total. The Ping An arrives from Keelung to Dengzhou. Because he met Yun Ni and his daughter, especially Li Yan, who likes children very much, with Xiao Shuruo's company, Li Yan did not feel lonely along the way. However, after arriving in Dengzhou, Yun Ni and his daughter immediately took a boat back to Taiwan, and Li Yan gave her a letter of his own. At that time, as long as he handed it to the people in the education institute, they would naturally arrange for her to be a musical instrument teacher.

Since Li Yan established the Da Qi overseas, Dengzhou has been taken over by officials sent by the Tang Dynasty, but in name, it is still the fiefdom under his title of King Qi. In addition, Li Yan also began to take the first step here, which made him have a deep affection for Dengzhou. For this reason, he spent a few more days in Dengzhou and went to some famous attractions in Dengzhou, most of which were related to him, and it was also considered a revisiting place.

After leaving Dengzhou, Li Yan quickly entered the Yellow River channel through the Bohai Sea. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng had already noticed the relationship between the silt content of the Yellow River and the destruction of the vegetation in the upper reaches, so he wrote to Li Shimin early. In addition, with Li Yan helping, the Tang Dynasty issued a law prohibiting the destruction of the vegetation in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which made the Yellow River water clear year by year. In addition, the Tang Dynasty spent a huge amount of money to repair the Yellow River waterway, which made this waterway play an increasingly important role and became one of the most important transportation arteries in the Tang Dynasty.

When the boat Li Yan was on passed through Weizhou, Li Yan stood at the bow and looked into the distance. Li Tai died of depression a few years ago in Weizhou's fiefdom. Apart from the princes who died young, he was the first to die. Li Yan thought of the scene when he first met Li Tai, especially when he saw Yun Ni, who had caused the dispute between the two, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Finally, he bowed three times in the direction of Weizhou, and then turned around.

Li Yan abandoned the boat in Zhengzhou and took the train instead. Then he arrived in Chang'an a few days later. However, before he came to Chang'an this time, he did not notify Li Zhi in advance. Therefore, when Li Zhi knew that Li Yan was coming, he was also very shocked and hurried out of the palace to see Li Yan, but Li Zhi was stunned because as soon as Li Yan returned to Chang'an, he went to Zhaoling to worship Li Shimin, and even stayed there for one night at night and did not come back at all.

Zhaoling is located a hundred miles west of Chang'an City. When Li Yan arrived here from Chang'an yesterday, it was completely dark, so he didn't have time to worship Li Shimin. Until this morning, Li Yan came to his father's tomb in front of the cold wind of the winter, sat there silently, talking about his life and thoughts over the years. Everything seemed very relaxed, just like when the father and son were chatting.

Li Yan stayed in front of Li Shimin's tomb for a whole day. When the sun sets, he finally stood up, then looked at his father's tombstone, and finally said: "Father, everything was going well in the reform of the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of domestic problems are being eliminated by the ninth brothers one by one, and the third brother, the seventh brother, and the eighth brother are also developing well."

Li Yan paused, sighed to the sky and then said: "But now the conflict between the Tang Dynasty, the Great Qi, the Tianzhu and the four Mediterranean empires have emerged. When we are five brothers, this kind of conflict will only accumulate and will not completely break out. However, when our descendants succeed to the throne, the accumulated contradiction will definitely break out, and then a world war will likely be launched between the four countries!"

When Li Yan talked about the "World War", the tragic situation of the two wars in later generations seemed to appear before his eyes. Countless people were wailing in artillery fire, and a large number of soldiers were sent to the battlefield and would never come back. This was definitely not his imagination. With the current development speed of the four empires, if a war broke out in the late Joseon, the scale would definitely not be smaller than that of the world war in later generations, and it might even be even more tragic.

However, Li Yan's expression changed immediately and said again with a firm look on his face: "The war between the four empires is likely to provide those non-Han people with an opportunity to rise. This is absolutely not allowed by Erchen, so no matter what, Erchen will not allow such contradictions to accumulate. The current contradictions of the four empires will be left to the generation of Erchen to resolve!"

When Li Yan finished his last sentence, he bowed deeply to Li Shimin's tomb again, and then turned to leave Zhaoling. The Tang Dynasty, Daqi, Tianzhu and the Mediterranean divided the world map. This situation can be said to be caused by him. Then solving the conflicts between the four countries will become Li Yan's business.

After leaving Zhaoling, Li Yan rushed back to Chang'an overnight. While on the way, he received a reply from Li Ke, Li Zhen and Li Yun, knowing that all three of them had set off to return to Chang'an, but because of the distance, they would have to arrive in Chang'an at least one and a half months. Before they arrived, Li Yan was about to show off with Li Zhi first and then get his support.

When Li Yan came to Chang'an overnight, Li Zhi also suffered from insomnia that night. When he first received the news of the arrival of his sixth brother, he was shocked and a little joyful. After all, the two brothers had not seen each other for many years. He had a lot of words to say to Li Yan, and Caier also missed Li Yan very much.

But what Li Zhi didn't expect was that after Li Yan returned to Chang'an, the first thing he did was not to come to see him and Cai'er first, but to worship his father. This made him feel a little strange, and even had a premonition that something unusual would happen if Brother Six came back this time.
