Li Er looked at his daughter. Changle was a little nervous at first. After all, there were so many uncles here... Although the mother and father both said they were foreign ministers, uncles were still uncles after all, and children would still be nervous and scared when they looked at them.
But when Li Er asked this question, the child's emotional straightforwardness came out, and he immediately pursed his lips, "Father, you haven't played with Changle for a long time..."
Li Er was stunned when he heard this, and was about to burst into laughter when he glanced over and saw that Queen Changsun was not in a high mood.
After thinking about it, I realized that I have been busy with government affairs non-stop this year...
But this was good, Li Er suddenly slapped the table.
Bang!
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling were shocked.
Queen Changsun and Xiao Changle were also stunned for a moment.
What are you doing, why did you suddenly get angry...
But then I understood.
Li Erluo pondered for a moment, and then said: "It just so happens that I have recently...well, and you have also been living in Chang'an for a long time, and your life is very boring. Since all the important things have been done recently, I will go out of the palace for a while.
!”
"Leaving the palace? This is to..."
Empress Changsun covered her mouth, and Li Er then showed a smile, "Yes, let's go see Sheng'er. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Ah?...Father, are we going to meet the teacher?"
Xiao Changle suddenly showed excitement. Compared with learning all kinds of etiquette in the deep palace, playing with Li Sheng, and learning all kinds of new things - real knowledge, it is much better.
Li Er laughed and nodded, "Yes, I'm going to see the teacher, hehe."
Xiao Changle suddenly jumped for joy, and Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling on the side also smiled.
Being able to meet His Highness, wouldn't this be another achievement to be gained... Now they finally understand what it means to be a minister? That is to hang out with Li Sheng.
If you stay with Li Sheng for three days, no, even for half a day, you will definitely get some credit for nothing, such as promoting potatoes and sweet potatoes, making grenades, new weapons, etc...
A hundred years later, it will be a steady rhythm of a famous official setting up his name in history. This is not much more exciting than the ups and downs of the officialdom.
Empress Changsun has hardly seen her child this year, and she also knows that... the child is getting busy now. After all, he will always be responsible for the Tang Dynasty in the future, and she can't say that she has to leave him in Chang'an.
But when Li Er mentioned this, as a mother, she was naturally happy.
After all, the incident in Hangzhou was a near miss. Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about it,
"There are still some things to do in Chang'an recently, so we have agreed to see Sheng'er in January, during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Li Er said this.
Empress Changsun and Xiao Changle suddenly showed joy.
Mid-Autumn Festival is the festival of reunions, and it is so wonderful to spend it with lost family members - I was too busy last year and didn't even think about it, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity this year.
Empress Changsun didn't ask Li Er if he had anything else to do and why he didn't go now.
After all, Empress Changsun was known as the most virtuous empress in the Tang Dynasty. She also knew that when Li Er was busy, even though she was an empress, she had to abide by the etiquette of a courtier.
When Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui heard that this was the day, they couldn't help but smile.
Very good, this is how Li Sheng is completely bound to the Tang Dynasty step by step, and the world will be stable in the future...a good thing!
However, while Du Ruhui smiled, there was a hint of thinking in his eyes.
If you want to see His Highness during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will have to go to sea in about twenty days. Now that the shipping routes are relatively mature, the risk of going to sea is much smaller, but it will still take a long time.
The time spent in between is not short.
Goguryeo's wild ambitions, everything in the country is peaceful now, and the foreign enemy has not been dealt with yet. What if Li Er is not here, and something suddenly happens in the north...
After all, wasn't it said that Chai Shao had just won a great victory...
However, these things are said to be important, but Du Ruhui has also read Wu Zi and Shang Jun - and he is obviously the kind of scholar who has read them thoroughly. He knows that although military affairs are dangerous, the most important thing that affects the rise and fall of military power is never It all depends on whether the internal politics is stable or not.
Since the country now has soldiers and food, and is becoming increasingly prosperous, and the people are happy and have no worries about soldiers, then it shouldn’t be too serious if you think about it...
Goguryeo unexpectedly chose to launch an offensive from the sea. This was not so much a surprise attack, but more like a helpless move that did not dare to face a decisive battle...
Du Ruhui gradually no longer cared about this, but...as a minister, especially a minister who Li Er relied heavily on, he couldn't help but keep an eye on it and keep an eye on all news from the north.
But this vigilance ushered in a very unexpected result more than twenty days later.
Li Er wanted to arrange things after the trip as much as possible during these twenty days, such as government affairs and the palace, but due to an unfortunate coincidence... or it was like this most of the time, it was delayed for a few days.
Of course, both Empress Changsun and Xiao Changle knew that Li Er was the supreme being in the world and could speak with eloquent words, even if there was a delay, they would not cancel it.
As for Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others, of course they will not be in a hurry to meet.
But while waiting, everyone got news that Li Sheng...
Back to the Central Plains!
And he went directly back to the Youzhou area - not far from Chang'an.
Li Er was simply shocked when he learned the news. He didn't even know it from the memorial, but from the gossip from Du Ruhui.
"real?!"
"Your Majesty, how dare you deceive me?"
Du Ruhui also couldn't laugh or cry, and everyone was surprised, but... early that morning, he actually met a young scholar from Chengxi Academy. Seeing everyone's interest in chatting, he heard that Li Sheng had already returned to China.
Du Ruhui, who learned about the situation, made some inquiries, and then came to ask Li Er what the situation was.
Li Er was stunned for a long time, and then he turned over the memorial on the desk.
As your Majesty, who rules all the people, time does not allow him to read every memorial in person.
After reading through it for a while, I finally found an email...
But he said that Li Sheng's return to the land of China was not a temporary move, nor did he return to the Central Plains for a few days after getting tired of staying on the island, but he had something to do.
...Steam trains have to have rails, right?
Railroad tracks...can't have just one end, right?
It is true that one of the machinery industrial zones set up by Li Sheng is Zhongzuoso Island, but industries are all industrial chains. After all, Zhongzuoso Island cannot accommodate a complete steam industry industry chain.
Second, Li Sheng recently discovered that the distance between the trial steam train from Mindi, near Zhongzuosuo Island, to Hangzhou is much farther than it seems intuitively. Calculating it this way...the first railway must maximize its revenue. In fact, it would be better to start construction in Chang'an and connect it to Hangzhou - or the prefectures and counties near Hangzhou.
