After all, the matter of Saint Lady's Harbor is far away, and it is useless no matter how much I struggle with it in Chang'an City.
And still...
As mentioned above, although Li Er was the emperor, he was the number one star in the Tang Dynasty, comparable to Li Sheng. However, there was no imaging technology in ancient times, so Li Er could still go out if he wanted to.
In modern society, there are many stories about emperors going out for private visits in disguise. Although most of them are made up by storytellers, the authenticity is not that outrageous, and the background of the era is true.
Of course, this requires the emperor himself to have a certain amount of courage and aura, to be able to calm the people around him, and not to panic when he goes out, otherwise it will not work.
There was no doubt that Li Er would not have a problem in this regard, so he changed his clothes, went out of the palace with Queen Changsun, and walked around Chang'an City to relax.
After this trip... Li Er was really feeling a little emotional.
I originally thought that if I kept hanging out, I wouldn't be recognized... If I was drunk and peeing, and someone caught me, wouldn't I make a joke out of it?
However, it turns out that this is actually too much thought. Although Chang'an has a prosperous population, and... and Li Er, the showy emperor, does go out hunting when he has nothing to do, but after all, this is still ancient times, not modern times. As long as he changes his clothes, it will not change at all.
Not many people could recognize that this was His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. What’s more, since the city wall was demolished.
Without the obstruction, the population moved more freely. The key is that the city area of Chang'an has greatly expanded.
And ancient times are different from modern times. Although in ancient times... although cement was available due to the emergence of Li Sheng, buildings and buildings began to appear frequently in the Tang Dynasty, but after all, they were not really mainstream. The real mainstream was bungalows.
As for bungalows, this means that no matter how hard Datang works now, the urban area must be huge.
Think about how a city in ancient times had a population of one million, while modern cities can easily reach tens of millions. It seems that ancient cities are all younger. But this is based on a premise: the population density in ancient times is the same as in modern times.
But how is this possible? The population density of modern cities is the result of piles of buildings. Often a modern building was just a courtyard in ancient times that was not actually too big, and could only accommodate one family.
From this we can imagine how big the real area of Chang'an City was - this is actually something that has been confirmed by archeology.
And now that it is constantly expanding due to various reasons, it is conceivable that the city is even bigger.
Under this circumstance, the current population size of Chang'an City has doubled from the peak of one million recorded in history, reaching the level of two million. Only ordinary people can recognize the emperor who is not wearing dragon-patterned court clothes.
Call it weird.
And Li Er felt quite happy after spending a day sightseeing in such a leisurely way. The level of worry about the Port Saint Maiden...of course has not decreased, after all, the matter has not been resolved, but Li Er's level of physical worry has eased a lot.
but……
In the evening of this day, just when Li Er was thinking about taking the queen to stay overnight in a palace on the outskirts of the city, and then going straight out to hunt some hunting the next day?, the streets of Chang'an at this moment...
The streets were bustling with people and it was extremely noisy. It was also the time when people were walking around and chatting after dinner.
And it was in this noise that the people chatted about a topic, which caught Li Er's attention.
"Really or not, His Highness King Wei is also very clever!"
"Who says it's not the case? Since the city wall was demolished, the bandits outside the wall have disappeared, but the number of criminals has increased... There are many unsolved cases now."
"It's really amazing... I'm afraid if His Highness King Wei hadn't had an idea and thought of using the power of this 'camera', otherwise this case would have become an unsolved case again."
"This is also thanks to His Highness the Holy King's talent. If it weren't for His Highness the Holy King, there wouldn't be any cameras available. That family would probably have to consider themselves unlucky."
"Well, how about we say that China has hidden dragons and crouching tigers..."
Li Er: "..."
Standing on the street, watching the chatting people gradually disappearing, the expression on his face was dull... He kept chasing the two people and remained silent for a long time.
This made Empress Changsun on the side hesitate. She looked at Li Er and asked curiously, "Erlang, what's wrong?"
Queen Changsun would naturally not object to Li Er's idea of staying in a palace on the outskirts of the city and then going hunting the next day. For her... she already knew that what Li Er was worried about was the Saint Lady's Port, and the Saint Lady
Hong Kong is far away, so this is not something that can only be solved by worrying about it in Chang'an.
As for her question, Li Er then thought about it and said, "Just now these two common people said... this child Qingque..."
"Qingque?"
Queen Changsun was startled. Qingque was the nickname of King Wei Li Tai, and he was Li Sheng's younger brother. However, due to well-known reasons, Li Sheng had never had much connection with these brothers. However, she did know that Li Tai was talented. Although
Definitely not as good as Li Sheng, but his qualifications are still very good.
When he was a child, Li Tai was very knowledgeable and memorized, but now he is even more fascinated by the "science" in Chengxi Academy and is obsessed with it.
This child is also very favored in the hearts of Li Er and Empress Changsun, so although he is now an adult, he has not been sent anywhere, but has stayed in Chang'an - but because of Li Sheng's existence, Li Er still paid more attention to it.
Instead of letting the grown-up Li Tai do clan work, he was sent to the mayor of Chang'an, the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, to work. This was a reason to keep the child by his side.
Li Sheng cannot return to Chang'an often due to political reasons. Prince Li Chengqian has become more and more self-indulgent in the past two years. He can't find anyone all day long, and he doesn't know where he is and what he is busy with. He only returns to Chang'an occasionally to pay his respects.
Some excuses.
Li Er wanted to take care of Empress Changsun's mood, so he naturally had to choose one of the princes to stay in Chang'an and accompany their mother.
Currently, the King of Han Li Ke is doing research in the Chengxi Academy, while the King of Wei Li Tai is in the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao. According to the rules, these princes who were not crown princes were transferred to other places to avoid chaos in the capital, but now...
Because of Li Sheng's existence, the possibility of these two princes causing trouble was directly reduced infinitely, so it didn't matter.
When Li Er said this, Queen Changsun was also curious...
Leaving the prince in Chang'an is ultimately to take care of his own mood, as well as the mood of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan...
But Empress Changsun also understood in her heart that although the prince was born into the royal family, his abilities may not be as good as those of the princes of Guizhou, but he was just kept to look after him. Now Li Er said this...
Could it be that Qing Que has also made meritorious deeds? It seems to be related to this 'camera'...
