The ancients once said: The country is as beautiful as a painting, but the beauties are not angry.
This means that since ancient times, the most exciting things are the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, and the white eyes of women.
When a woman doesn't know how to seduce the man she likes, the simplest way is to give him a blank stare, which is guaranteed to make him angry after a few times. This is the most exciting way.
However, Li Sheng's mind did not move. While eating and drinking, he...he...burped.
"belch!"
Then he said calmly, "Isn't this natural? Storytelling is of course wonderful with all kinds of twists and turns... I was also born and raised in the Tang Dynasty, how could I really support the Romans? Besides..."
Li Sheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If celebrities want to come to power, they must have a foreign father to support them... His Majesty is now in the prime of life in the Tang Dynasty, how can he give them a chance? With the support of foreign countries, they will just wait for the death of Mingjun.
After that, I just bullied the orphans and widowed mothers."
"Besides, Mr. Pingshu and Qingliu celebrities are not the same at all. You, you are overthinking..."
This part of the story involves a lot of historical materials, although the historical materials Li Sheng knows are not quite the same as the "historical materials" in the common sense of this era...
However, Danqing quickly thought of many past events in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Thinking that this was indeed the case, he couldn't help but nod vigorously.
Although Danqing is a woman, her academic foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary celebrities.
But with this nod, Danqing looked at Li Sheng's expression, and his eyebrows became even more soft as water...
How come the young master knows so much, how come the young master is so smart, the young master is so good at...
A touch of white skin is looming under the bamboo hat veil, which is extremely dazzling. It is the skin quality that has been cultivated by wearing the veil recently.
However, Li Sheng turned a blind eye and after putting down the wine glass, he just yawned in a daze.
Seeing that Li Sheng seemed to be thinking, Dan Qing couldn't help but remain silent.
But after a while, she couldn't help but frown. This time Li Sheng returned to Chang'an because...
The first thing is the recent news. The Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty went to Africa to fight for the strong and help the weak, and saved many people... Of course, as a reward, they also covered an area equivalent to the area of one "road" in China.
He settled down and started farming smoothly.
The opening of the frontier was justifiable, and they won a great victory. When the good news came back, the whole Tang Dynasty was extremely excited.
Under the excitement and joy, Li Er, as the emperor, of course had to express something. After all, for such a happy event, how could the relevant personnel not reward it?
not to mention……
The opening up of the border this time gave Li Er another great encouragement. Because besides Rome...
Another concern of Li Er is the legendary "America" that is also thousands of miles away.
If Li Sheng hadn't appeared, if someone else had said that there were not only Penglai Fairy Island overseas, but also something more exciting than the Fairy Island in the depths of the more distant sea - another continent with an area almost equal to that of China, then
Li Er simply didn't believe it, or even heard it, so he just made lies to confuse the crowd and quickly captured it.
But because it was Li Sheng who said it, Li Er had to consider that if there really was a continent in that place, and it was all plains, suitable for farming... This would be too exciting, and Li Er decided to explore it.
But it was too difficult, and the problem was that he didn't know what to expect, and... to put it bluntly, since the journey was extremely difficult, it meant that Li Er couldn't send out multiple fleets on a large scale to explore at once.
Then... if you don't pay attention, a maritime trader might become king in America in the end. And Li Er is quite confident in the heroes of China, so this kind of thing is really very possible.
The current situation is precisely that the frequency of maritime merchants heading east to the Americas is significantly higher than their own.
The king of a country is first of all the commander-in-chief of a country's military forces. As the commander-in-chief of military forces, his actions must comply with certain rules, and the military rules are: investigation must be carried out step by step, step by step.
The successful development and victory of the war in southern Africa gave Li Er a lot of confidence, although the two things of conquering Africa and opening up the Americas are not the same.
The fleet is heading to Africa. There are coastlines, islands, reefs, etc. that can be docked on the way. The difficulty is obviously lower than that of a pure expanse of ocean. It can even be said to be "far lower". But in any case, setting up in Africa is
It's already a gratifying thing to stay on your heels.
In short, what happened in Africa some time ago is the first reason why Li Sheng returned to Chang'an...
Li Er wants to distribute rewards to meritorious ministers!
Of course, Li Sheng did not come back to perform Hajj. Of course, then again, although I don’t know why, everyone in the world feels that although His Majesty is a man of martial virtue, he doesn’t seem to reward ministers in the court. This is in the league building.
From a perspective, it is a bit unreasonable... Of course, it is not that no one has noticed that Li Er has gradually received fewer awards from the court since the second year of Zhenguan, rather than never having them... But no one can know the reason.
Just guessed it.
Li Sheng's reward is a piece of homestead in Chang'an...
What surprised Danqing was that the homestead awarded to Li Sheng by His Majesty was quite large...
Recently, there are rumors that Chang'an will demolish the city wall and begin expansion. But this is not the point. The point is that the homestead awarded to Li Sheng by His Majesty is extremely large, and even exceeds the limit, which is a bit scary.
The second thing is... after receiving rewards from others, of course you have to work for them.
The task that the young master has to do this time is none other than dealing with the sources of border troubles that have plagued the Tang Dynasty for many years.
Goguryeo.
Goguryeo has been active for a long time and has always been a place rich in martial arts. Even Danqing is aware of this. But just like this, it is not a problem. The people of Goguryeo are nothing more than Xianbei people. Although there was Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Gao
Huan, there are fierce men like Gao Changgong, King of Lanling, but no matter how many fierce men Goguryeo produced, it was severely beaten by society a few years ago because of its actions against the people in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty.
As we all know!
After being beaten, no matter how glorious his ancestors are, he will definitely lose his glory when his head is stepped on.
Of course, it's not a serious problem.
The war that occurred due to the laying of "telephone lines" a few years ago ended with the complete victory of the Tang Dynasty. In the past few years, it has been protecting the food and life of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
So much so... Today, gradually, the people have even forgotten that in the north of the Tang Dynasty, there is a dishonest and thorn-headed boy who is always ready to mobilize troops and his plans are unpredictable...
But ordinary people will forget, but Li Er will not forget.
