"Lin Xuan, what are your plans next?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "I have no plans. I will go back to Luoyang to worship my ancestors in a few days."
Since there are some things that cannot be changed, they should be kept out of sight.
It just so happened that he was about to go back to worship his ancestors. It is estimated that by the time he comes back, the matter will be a foregone conclusion.
"Lin Xuan, His Majesty didn't say he would punish you, why are you leaving?" Cheng Chumo said hurriedly.
He also thought that Lin Xuan wanted to leave Chang'an because of the marriage.
"I'm just going back to worship my ancestors. I'll be back soon." Lin Xuan explained with a wry smile.
Only then did Cheng Chumo and the others feel relieved.
"Because of me, I may not be able to train new recruits. I'm sorry, brothers." Lin Xuan said with fists in his hands.
He made Li Shimin so angry that he estimated that Li Shimin would never let him take over the military power again.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Don't worry, since His Majesty has not issued an order to revoke your position, there will be no change. You underestimate His Majesty's mind."
"Yes, after you pay homage to your ancestors, come back early. We are waiting for you to go to the military camp together." Cheng Chumo said in agreement.
Lin Xuan was speechless. He didn't know why Cheng Chumo and the others had so much confidence in Li Shimin. This might be the charm of Li Shimin.
…
After Cheng Chumo and others left, Lin Xuan always felt that he had not done something.
After thinking for a long time, I remembered that I hadn't signed in today.
You must know that today is the first day of the month, and you must get rare rewards. If you forget, who knows whether you can get it tomorrow.
"Sign in!" Lin Xuan thought silently in his heart.
"Ding~, the host has signed in successfully, and the reward is: how to make and install horseshoes."
"It seems pretty good!" Lin Xuan murmured to himself.
Liu Da told him about the loss of horses before, and he thought it would be better if he had horseshoes.
But he doesn't know how to do this stuff. Now the system has helped him solve this problem.
There are not only building methods, but also installation methods.
Lin Xuan came to the study and wrote down the construction and installation methods in his mind.
Prepare to find a blacksmith to beat out the horses and mount them, otherwise we will be in trouble when we go to Luoyang in a few days and the horses' hooves will be worn out halfway.
…
On the early morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, before dawn, the Lin family was busy with bright lights.
"Dad, we just went back to pay homage to our ancestors. Why did you bring so much money back?" Lin Xuan looked at the two carts of copper coins and was speechless.
"These are used by the family to worship the ancestors and train the family's children. Our family has money now, so if we don't spend more, won't we make others gossip!" Lin Dongyang said matter-of-factly.
Lin Xuan doesn't pay much attention to family or anything else. They are all relatives separated by several or even more than ten generations, and there has been no family affection for a long time.
But he knew that the ancients attached great importance to this aspect, and he didn't say anything.
We loaded several trucks with all sorts of messy things, and we were busy until dawn.
Zhang Qing and Lin Duoduo took a carriage with several maids.
Lin Xuan and Lin Dongyang's father and son set off in one, two carriages and several loaded carriages, under the protection of fifty soldiers.
The horse's hooves, equipped with horseshoes, stepped on the road in Chang'an, making an extraordinarily clear sound, and headed straight for the city gate.
"Xuan'er, this carriage is really good, not bumpy at all." Lin Dongyang praised.
Lin Xuan smiled proudly and said: "Of course, you don't want to see who designed this."
Not long after the carriage left Chang'an, it suddenly stopped.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to get out of the car to see what was going on, Liu Da said from outside the car: "Sir, Your Royal Highness is here. Your Majesty Qing, please come over."
"Xuan'er, go quickly, otherwise His Royal Highness will be in trouble if he blames you." Lin Dongyang said quickly.
"Dad, I understand."
Lin Xuan got off the carriage and saw Li Chengqian standing not far away with some guards.
"I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder if His Highness has anything important to do?" Lin Xuan walked over and saluted.
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I heard that you were leaving Beijing, so I came here to see you off!"
"Your Highness should know that I have angered His Majesty, but Your Highness still comes to see me off. Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame you?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Let me blame my father if he blames me. I don't agree with the marriage either, so I can only express my attitude like this." Li Chengqian said.
Lin Xuan glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise, wondering whether his words were true or false.
Li Chengqian knew that Lin Xuan had doubts and said seriously: "I really don't agree with this matter. I think that since the Tang Dynasty is strong, naturally all the countries will come to congratulate me, and it has nothing to do with whether they are harmonious or not."
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me off. I hope that Your Highness will spend more time on the people and do more for the people in the future. This is better than anything else!"
After saying that, Lin Xuan bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
"Your Highness, what does Lin Xuan mean?" Du He asked in confusion.
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I understand now, let's go back to the palace."
Du He looked at Li Chengqian who had mounted his horse and was confused.
Do you understand? What do you understand? Just tell me.
…
When Lin Dongyang saw Lin Xuan coming back, he asked, "Xuan'er, does His Highness the Prince have anything to do with you?"
"Dad, His Highness the Crown Prince knew that I was going out and came to see me off." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Lin Dongyang was very proud after hearing this. It was a great honor for the prince to send him off.
Lin Xuan was thinking about Li Chengqian's words. He felt that Li Chengqian was not simple, and he had underestimated him before.
Li Chengqian's rebellion in history made him feel that Li Chengqian was a bit stupid, but now it seems that he himself is really stupid.
He suddenly remembered that history said that Li Chengqian's temperament gradually changed because he later suffered from foot disease.
As for Li Chengqian's foot illness, there is no clear record of the cause in history, but some unofficial historians say that it was because Li Tai tampered with Li Chengqian's horse, causing Li Chengqian to fall off the horse and break his leg. In the end, it was not cured.
After Li Chengqian rebelled, Li Shimin originally intended to make Li Tai the crown prince, but Li Shimin somehow found out about Li Tai's murder of Li Chengqian and demoted Li Tai to the title of King of Donglai County.
There are many doubts about this matter, and there is no record in history. Lin Xuan is not sure whether it is true or not, but seeing that Li Chengqian is in good health, he believes this statement somewhat.
Lin Xuan wondered if Li Chengqian had no serious illness, so his temperament would not change drastically and he would become the emperor. Under his leadership, the Tang Dynasty would become stronger.
After all, these things have never happened, and he is not sure, but compared to Li Tai and Li Zhi, there is no doubt that Li Chengqian is more suitable to be the emperor.
Li Tai had too many thoughts and was controlled by the aristocratic family. Li Zhi was too weak and was not as good as Li Chengqian.
As for why we don’t support Li Shimin’s other sons, to be honest, apart from Li Ke, all of Li Shimin’s other sons are useless.
And since I will marry Li Lizhi in the future, of course I must support her brother.
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly: "If you can understand what I'm saying, why not help you?"
