Chapter 882 Everyone is old and should make up for it!
Chapter 882 You are all old, it’s time to catch up!
"The Americas are the origin of peppers, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and there are also a large number of gold mines in the Americas. According to your Majesty's temperament, how can you not go there?"
At this moment, Li Xiaogong finally understood.
Immediately, he remembered something and quickly looked at Li Xuan.
"Xuanba, since you came here suddenly, could you have guessed that His Majesty will go to America?"
"This matter was guessed by the prince and Duke Zhao!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and at the same time told Li Xiaogong the whole story.
"well!"
Li Xiaogong looked helpless, "Since Suzhou, I and other veteran generals have been puzzled by His Majesty's edict prohibiting those officials from reporting His Majesty's whereabouts to Chang'an.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that Your Majesty is guarding against these old foxes in Chang'an, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling!
It's a pity that Cai Guogong still hasn't waited for His Majesty to come back..."
"What worries the prince and I most now is that according to the health of your majesty, Hejian County Prince and others, can they really go to America and come back?" Li Xuan sighed.
Li Xiaogong glared and said directly: "Don't worry Xuanba, it's just a trip to America. I can definitely go and come back!"
"Really?"
Li Xuan sneered, "Brother Hejian King, can you still charge into battle? Can you still lift a horse? How much wine can you drink?"
Li Xiaogong's face turned red, "Xuan Ba, don't underestimate me. I drink wine and eat meat. I wear iron armor, hold a horse spear, and charge into battle. I am no worse than any soldier!"
"Ah!"
Li Xuan smiled disdainfully, "Why don't you get off the horse and ask Brother Hejian to compete with me? Or, Brother Hejian and I will dismount and run from here to His Majesty's palace. As long as Brother Hejian doesn't huff, we can win."
If my legs don't tremble, I will admit that Brother Hejian is still a young man and has not reached his twilight years!"
"Xuanba, please don't bully me like this!"
Li Xiaogong couldn't help but look sad and angry, "In the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid no one can beat Xuanba in martial arts!"
"So, please, Brother Hejian, please don't be so confident in your body in front of me!"
Li Xuan looked sincere.
"You are already a veteran in your fifties. Brother Hejian Wang should also wait for an old man. Cherish your body when you should cherish it. Don't insist on it, especially don't talk harshly! Moreover, Brother Hejian Wang thinks that according to the rules of taking a boat
How long can your Majesty endure the hardship of wandering in the sea?"
"this……"
Only then did Li Xiaogong realize something, and his face was shocked!
"Xuan Ba is worried about His Majesty's health?"
"Brother Prince of Hejian, don't you think that I came all the way from Chang'an to Qingzhou just for Brother Prince of Hejian?" Li Xuan looked at Li Xiaogong strangely.
Li Xiaogong smiled sarcastically, "I still know myself!"
Li Xuan smiled faintly and ignored it.
However, Li Xiaogong couldn't hold it back and continued to ask: "Then how can Xuanba dissuade His Majesty?"
"Don't try to dissuade me!"
Li Xuan let out a long breath, his face full of worry.
"Your Majesty's intention to go to the Americas is just a guess and we can't say it directly. This time your Majesty will visit small countries such as Goguryeo and Japan, and I will accompany him.
Only when His Majesty reveals his intention to go to America can I dissuade him!"
Hearing this, the old fairy Li Xiaogong immediately understood what Li Xuan meant and nodded repeatedly.
"That's how it should be!"
At this moment, Li Xuan had already closed his eyes and began to rest with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Li Xiaogong sighed helplessly. Fortunately, Xuanba was the king of Jin in the Tang Dynasty, and his military force was unmatched by anyone.
Otherwise, with Xuanba's character, many people would definitely want to beat him up.
Qingzhou Palace!
In fact, it is a large mansion of the Cui family.
In Qingzhou, only aristocratic families like the Cui family of Qinghe had a suitable large house to serve as the palace of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
After taking the medicinal meal, Li Shimin was lying on a spacious sofa to rest.
Li Wei hurriedly walked in from the door and reported softly: "Sage Qi, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here!"
"Um?"
Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally realized who the King of Jin was in Li Wei's mouth, and sat up quickly.
"Xuanba is here?"
"But something happened in Chang'an, let Xuan Ba come in quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Wei responded and walked straight out.
Soon, Li Xuan walked in under the leadership of Li Wei.
Behind him, there was also Li Xiaogong.
"See Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin looked dazed for a while, then stood up to greet him, his face beaming with joy.
"Xuanba, please take a seat quickly, Li Wei, order someone to serve tea to Xuanba and Brother Xiaogong!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Li Wei walked out, Li Xuan sniffed slightly and frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty is feeling ill. Are you taking medicinal food?"
"What?"
On the side, Li Xiaogong's expression changed drastically and he quickly looked at Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, are you drinking medicinal food?"
Li Shimin was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Xuan's nose was so sensitive and he could smell the smell of medicine so easily.
He smiled faintly and said: "Xuanba, please don't worry, Brother Xiaogong. I just feel a little weak from time to time, so I asked the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine for me to adjust and recuperate, but there is no serious problem!"
"I see!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said seriously: "It is normal for Your Majesty to be tired. Even a young man who has been on the sea in a boat for more than two years will be extremely tired.
Your Majesty is already old now, and I am surprised that your body is still so energetic after coming back from a big meal!"
"..."
Li Shimin was a little speechless. He didn't know whether Li Xuan was praising him or reminding him that he was old!
On the side, Li Xiaogong's face was full of anxiety. Xuanba actually openly said that Your Majesty is old in front of His Majesty. Is this trying to commit suicide?
Li Xuan continued to ask: "I came here this time because I was entrusted by Zhao Guogong and Gao Ming to visit your majesty!"
"When your Majesty returned from Dashi, he did not send officials to Chang'an to report the news, nor did he return directly to Chang'an. Instead, he summoned soldiers from Haizhou and Suzhou. But which small country does your Majesty think is dishonest and needs to be taught a lesson?"
Li Shimin sighed softly and said with a somewhat ashamed look on his face: "Xuanba is overly worried. I just feel that as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, at such an age, I did not even inspect the territory of the Tang Dynasty. I am really unwilling to do so.
So, I wanted to take this opportunity to go to Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Wa and other small countries to inspect them one by one!"
"I see!"
After listening, Li Xuan nodded slightly, "On this matter, I support your majesty. However, now that our Tang Dynasty is prosperous, singing and dancing are prosperous, and there are princes in the court to supervise the country, and the Dukes of Zhao and Wei are assisting, so your majesty will definitely rest for a few more months.
, wait until you have recovered your health, and then go on a slow inspection!"
"No need for this!"
Li Shimin shook his head directly, "I know my body well, even if I go to conquer the big food again, it will be fine!"
"Your Majesty, just now Brother Hejian was arguing with me about how tough his body is. However, I wanted Brother Hejian to prove it, but Brother Hejian immediately gave up!"
Li Xuan looked at Li Shimin quietly and said.
"oh?"
Li Shimin's face was full of curiosity, "How does Xuanba want Brother Hejian to prove it?"
"Either run two thousand steps without losing your breath or shaking your legs; or hold a steel spear and fight with me!" Li Xuan said softly.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Xiaogong, who had half his hair white, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Brother Prince Hejian is already in his twilight years, why should Xuanba trouble Brother Prince Hejian!"
"No, I'm asking His Majesty now!" Li Xuan shook his head and said.
"ask me?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, "Xuanba also wants me to do this, to prove to you that my body is still very strong?"
"Does your Majesty know that you can't do it without even trying?" Li Xuan asked.
"I have reached the age of knowing my destiny this year, so there is no way I can't do this!" Li Shimin said angrily.
"So, Your Majesty must realize his old age!"
Li Xuan looked serious, "When you should take medicinal food, take medicinal food. If you need nourishment, nourish it immediately. If you need to cultivate yourself, cultivate yourself well. As long as your majesty is in good health, no one in the world can stop your majesty from whatever you want to do."
However, if Your Majesty acts recklessly and wears out his body, everything will stop!"
"Xuanba, don't worry, I know!"
Li Shimin said helplessly.
"Okay, now that you know my intentions and physical condition, Xuanba can go back to Chang'an!"
"No!"
Li Xuan refused very simply.
"Just send someone back to Chang'an to inform Gao Ming of His Majesty's physical condition and intentions. This time, Your Majesty is going to inspect Goguryeo, Silla and other countries, and I will follow Your Majesty."
"Come with me to inspect small countries like Goguryeo and Japan?"
Li Shimin was shocked.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly.
"Don't you like to go out on weekdays?" Li Shimin looked helpless.
"I've been staying in Lijiazhuang for a long time, so it's good to come out and walk around occasionally."
Li Xuan said, "And it has been so long, so I will go to these small countries to see if there are any remnants of the Wang family left out!"
"..."
Facing Li Xuan, who had already begun to cheat, Li Shimin was completely helpless and still had a headache.
If anyone from the Tang Dynasty came, Li Shimin could issue an edict to arrange a task for that person, or drive him away directly.
However, the person who came was none other than Li Xuan.
He believed that if Li Xuan didn't want to leave, even if he issued an edict, Li Xuan could refuse!
"Chenglu has met His Majesty! I have met Uncle Wang Hejian, and I have met Aye!"
"Di Renjie meets your majesty, the prince of Hejian County, and the master!"
At this time, two little boys, Li Chenglu and Di Renjie, walked in from the door with excited faces.
"No gift for you!"
Li Shimin said with a gentle expression.
As for Li Xuan, when he saw the two little boys Di Renjie and Li Chenglu, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Look at your looks, you and I have matured a lot this time out!"
"Aye, the world outside is indeed as Aye said, very vast, with all kinds of strange things!" Li Chenglu said.
"All you need to know is that in the whole world, we, the Tang Dynasty, are still respected. We, the Tang Dynasty, can conquer all barbarian countries with the power of one country!" Li Xuandao.
"Chenglu remembers Aye's teachings!"
"Renjie remembers Aye's teachings!"
Li Chenglu and Di Renjie quickly raised their hands and saluted.
"Um!"
Li Wei nodded with satisfaction.
Next, there is a moment of reminiscing between Li Xuan, Li Chenglu, and Di Renjie.
Growing up, Li Xuan was not very strict with Li Chenglu, and as for his disciple Di Renjie, he was also very gentle.
Therefore, Li Chenglu and Di Renjie were not too afraid of Li Xuan.
As a result, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong were filled with envy as they watched the warm reminiscing scene between father, son, master and apprentice.
However, at this moment, the two of them became outsiders again.
The reminiscence between Li Xuan, Li Chenglu, and Di Renjie lasted until dark.
Then, the three of them said goodbye to Li Shimin and returned to Li Xuan's villa in Qingzhou. After dinner, they continued to reminisce about the past.
The next day.
After eating breakfast.
Li Xiaogong then sent someone to report that His Majesty would board a ship to inspect small countries such as Goguryeo and Japan.
In this regard, Li Xuan did not dare to delay, and quickly took Li Chenglu and Di Renjie into the carriage and headed to the shipyard.
However, this time he only brought a hundred personal guards.
As for Zheng Fu, he was left in Qingzhou by Li Xuan.
Zheng Fu was also getting older, and Li Xuan did not dare to let Zheng Fu wander on the sea with him. If he fell on the boat, he would never be able to come back.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Seeing Li Xuan and the others, Li Shimin's face froze. He didn't expect that Li Xuan could follow him after he got up so early.
Thinking of something, he glared fiercely at Li Wei and Li Xiaogong beside him.
In response to this, both Li Xiaogong and Li Wei could only giggle silently.
Afterwards, the fleet began to set sail towards Goguryeo on the opposite side.
Wait until noon.
Just finished lunch.
Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and other veterans were sitting on the sofa at the bow of the ship, looking at the merchant ships coming and going below with curiosity on their faces.
Li Xuan directly dragged out the imperial doctors who had been following Li Shimin and came to Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others.
"Huh? Xuanba, what are you going to do?"
Li Shimin frowned slightly, his face full of strangeness.
As for the veterans such as Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda, they were all smiling.
"Your Majesty and the old generals have been running around on the sea for two years. I was worried that your Majesty and the old generals would become ill from exhaustion, so I just took advantage of the good opportunity when your majesty and the old generals got together to drag me here.
The doctor will check the pulses of Your Majesty and the veteran generals, and then prescribe some nourishing medicines to give you some nourishment!" Li Xuan explained.
"Wait for me to make up for it?"
Niu Jinda, Yuchi Jingde and other veterans were stunned. They didn't expect that the melons they ate would hit their own heads. After they realized what they were doing, they quickly shook their heads.
"Prince Jin, don't underestimate us. Although we are old, we are still as strong as an ox and we don't need any tonic at all!"
Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at his mouth slightly.
Sure enough, all men have had the same virtue since ancient times. When it comes to their bodies, they are as tough-talking as ever.
"In the Tang Dynasty, my strength is the number one, so I won't bully you in this regard!"
Li Xuan sneered and said: "In front of so many people, I would like to ask, if I capture two beautiful Korean maids and put them on the beds of the old generals, will the old generals still have the strength?"
