Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　The rules on the water have always been maintained by their families, and naturally they are not willing to intervene in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

　　"It stands to reason that the Turks in the north are about to move now, I think it's right that Your Majesty can't get away. But I heard that Lu Xiu is mysterious!" Zheng Qi said.

　　"Yeah, your eldest brother wrote in Chang'an that the master of Anping County, Lu Zhuang, can turn stone into gold, go to heaven and earth, and be omnipotent. Although it is a lot of exaggeration, it is hard to believe, if not, why would your majesty today The most beloved Princess Changle betrothed him to be his wife." Zheng Baowen said.

　　"Father, do you want us to visit him or not, and by the way to find out his purpose. If we can befriend him, I think it will be very good for the Zheng family." Zheng Qi said.

　　"Well, go and prepare a generous gift." Zheng Baowen thought about it and said.Four.

Chapter 136

　　The Zheng family placed several people in the shipyard to help them build a batch of large ships that can sail every year.

　　The fact that Lu Xiu wanted to cut off the private life of the shipyard alone would have a great impact on the Zheng family.

　　So after the two of them discussed it, Zheng Qi, the provincial governor of Yangzhou, brought gold worth thousands of dollars and several rare treasures from overseas to visit in person!

　　"Master Lu, Zheng Qi, the governor of Yangzhou, asks to see you."

　　"The Inspector of Yangzhou?"

　　Lu Xiu was somewhat surprised by Wu He's report.They have only been here for two days, but have they already known about it?

　　"Zheng Qi, hum, is the current Yangzhou governor actually from the Zheng family? Lu Xiaoyou, it would be nice to meet him. It would be much more convenient if they helped take care of him." Li Yuan said lightly.

　　"Well." During the two days in Yangzhou, Lu Xiu learned about the situation in Yangzhou.

　　The power of the Zheng family covers most of Yangzhou's water business.Perhaps the Zheng family is not the most influential family, but in terms of wealth, he can rank in the forefront of several aristocratic families.

　　In the living room, Lu Xiu met with the governor of Yangzhou.

　　"Wei Chen Zheng Qi, the Emperor Taishang, the concubine and Princess Changle." Zheng Qi asked people to present a gift, "This is a little thought from the Zheng family, not a respect."

　　There was a whole box of rare and precious treasures, including beautiful corals, all kinds of beautiful shells, and finger-sized pearls, most of which came from the sea.

　　"Your Zheng family has a heart." Li Yuan glanced at it briefly, and understood that a box of rare treasures was brought, and the total value was estimated to be no less than [-].

　　"Okay, I can accept the gift. In addition, I want a copy of all the charts in your Zheng family's hands." Lu Xiudao.

　　"The concubine wants a chart?" Zheng Qi's expression changed slightly. Could it be that, as they had guessed, Datang was going to start its layout in the Jiangdong area?

　　"Yes, we are going to go out to sea next month to play and enjoy the scenery at sea. And we just lack a chart. As far as I know, your Zheng family often has fleets going to sea. Much better." Lu Xiu continued.

　　Why did he meet him? Lu Xiu mainly wanted to see the chart in their hands. .

　　"Chart, our Zheng family has collected some, but I can't decide."

　　The chart is that the fleets risked danger and roamed the sea for a long time, and then drew them one by one. It was extremely precious. He actually asked for all of them directly. His appetite was too great.

　　"It's okay, you can go back and ask the head of your Zheng family." Li Yuan waved his hand.

　　"It's fine if I don't give it. Although I am the consort of the Tang Dynasty, I don't have any official position. Don't worry, I won't force others to be difficult. It's just a few charts, and we can draw it ourselves. Just exploring." Lu Xiu said.

　　The fastest way is to let Wu He eat a falcon fruit.Let him spend a month or two to complete the exploration of the sea area of ​​Yangzhou, which is [-] kilometers away.

　　Of course, Lu Xiu had no intention of exploring the world by boat, because the current sailing speed was too slow, and the fastest speed was only [-] kilometers per hour.

　　It is estimated that it will take more than half a year to go to sea once, and it may even be a year...  

　　Datang has its own navy, and can let Li Er arrange the navy to go out to sea.

　　Or form an expedition of your own in the future.

　　Think about the myriad of marine resources in the ocean.

　　Just a fleet of more than a dozen ships can easily feed millions of people.

　　Think about the unheard of spices in Southeast Asia across from the Tang Dynasty.

　　Think of the rich American continent, there is a fertile soil, and even the ground is full of gold, and a large piece of dog head gold can be picked up on the ground.

　　So for now, the charts of thousands of miles around are completely enough for him.

　　"Concubine, when I go back, I will ask the principal of the Zheng family, but I can't guarantee it." Zheng Qi nodded.

　　From a few words, Zheng Qi was able to find useful clues from it.

　　So when he got home, he told his father Zheng Baowen the original words.

　　"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty really had the idea of ​​starting the development of navy in Yangzhou." Zheng Baowen frowned. Their Zheng family had been deployed in Jiangdong for countless years, and they were willing to hand over the good situation to others.

　　"After all, Yangzhou has an official shipyard, and the ships needed by the navy can only be built quickly. Dad, what should we do with the Zheng family?" Zheng Qi said.

　　"Qi'er, let's wait and see. The background of the Zheng family is beyond what they can imagine. Even if they can't stop it, with the ability of the Zheng family, it is not difficult to install people to command the navy of the Tang Dynasty." Zheng Baowen said lightly.

　　They still rely on Jiangdong Erlang to organize sailors, and other areas are not very good at water at all. .

Chapter 137

　　On the seventh day after Lu Xiu left, Li Er of Chang'an City Palace was a little bit uncomfortable.

　　Every day when he turns into a falcon and goes out to relax, Li Er will inadvertently go to Luzhuang in Anping County.Although it felt impossible, I still wanted to see if Lu Xiu and the others came back.

　　His most beloved daughter and the Emperor Taishang didn't know what kind of wonderful scenery they could see when they went out with Lu Xiu.

　　Occasionally greedy, Li Er not to mention missing Lu Xiu's food.As the emperor, his favorite food is tuna fish fillet, but he could only taste it once from Lu Xiu's hands for a few months.

　　Inexplicably looking forward to the idea of ​​waiting for Chengqian and his children to grow up quickly so that they can inherit his position.

　　Of course, it was only an occasional idea that he would never agree to let Li Er give up his position now.

　　Although the state affairs are busy, it is a little tiring, but the taste of being drunk on the knees of a beauty and holding the power of the world, that is not everyone can put it down lightly.

　　Therefore, the emperors of many dynasties in ancient times rarely took the initiative to abdicate to their princes because of their age.

　　Emperors who are greedy for power all yearn for immortality, otherwise Qin Shihuang would not think about sending Xu Fu to go out to sea to find elixir.

　　"Report to Your Majesty, the Prince of Hejian is asking to see you."

　　"What, Xiaogong, has he come back from the north? Please come quickly."

　　It stands to reason that he was sent to the north to help Li Jing fight against the Turks, but Li Xiaogong would not return to Beijing so soon, I don't know what urgent matters.

　　Thinking so, Li Er met Li Xiaogong in the imperial study.

　　"Weichen returned to Beijing without authorization, please forgive me." But what left Li Er speechless was that there was nothing urgent in Xiaogong's report, and most of them could be understood in a hurry from eight hundred miles.

　　As early as more than ten days ago, it should have been received from the envoy Bataan. Not long after, the Turkic khans gathered more than a dozen tribes under his command, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry were ready to move.

　　The war was imminent, but fortunately, preparations were made in advance to transfer the forces of the Tang Dynasty to the north.

　　Because Huaxia's territory is wide and its defense line is stretched, hundreds of thousands of people may not be able to fully guard it.

　　And since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China has always been burned, killed and looted by the northern Hu people, so the Spring and Autumn countries began to build the Great Wall in the north, in order to stop the cavalry of the Hu people going south.

　　Li Jing has already sent heavy troops to guard the most important levels today, and there will not be the same situation as when the Turks came to Chang'an in August last year.

　　"Your Majesty, the reason for Wei Chen's return is mainly... mainly for the Falcon Fruit, and secondly for reporting the battle report." Li Xiaogong said embarrassedly.

　　"I almost forgot, Lu Xiu also gave you two eagle fruits." Li Er nodded suddenly. To be honest, Lu Xiu had nothing to say to Li Xiaogong's family.

　　Perhaps it was because the people in Luzhuang were weak, so they treated Li Xiaogong and the others as their own parents.

　　Therefore, if Xiaogong can marry his daughter to him, he does not know what virtue he has accumulated in his previous life.

　　"Hehe, yes. The filial piety of the son-in-law is really hard to say. If there are any good things, I will think of us. For example, a few sets of white folded quilts are very soft and comfortable to lie on. So when the eldest son wrote to the old man, saying There are two eagle and falcon fruits that will not be decided until the old man returns, and the old man will come back from Hexi immediately." Li Xiaogong said.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

　　"Xiao Gong, so you also ate the eagle fruit?" Li Er laughed.

　　"Well, Wei Chen ate it, and found that the ability bestowed by the fruit is really amazing."

　　The first cheetah fruit, Li Xiaogong dedicated to Li Er.At that time, it was because he had such a powerful fruit in his hand, how could he dare to enjoy it alone.

　　But now that he learned that Li Er also took the eagle fruit, Li Xiaogong ate one for himself, and the second he gave to his eldest son Li Chongyi!

　　After eating the fruit, the body grew feathers and turned into a huge falcon.

...... 0

　　Although I can't fly for the time being, I can feel that my body's strength is much stronger than before, and my body has become stronger.

　　"Haha, Xiaogong can stay in Chang'an for a while to learn how to fly. After learning, you can try flying from Chang'an to Hexi. Lu Xiu and the others also flew from Chang'an to Yangzhou a few days ago." Li Er said.

　　"Your Majesty, Wei Chen also has this plan. Wei Chen wants to use Feitian's ability on the battlefield, so he will run back to Chang'an from Hexi."

　　If you can be in the sky, you can definitely detect every move of the enemy, which will be very helpful to the battlefield.If Li Jing's ability to see opportunities is placed in Li Jing's hands, the effect is no less than tens of thousands of horses.

　　"Well, originally, I also wanted to consider transferring the leader of the Royal Forest Army who protects the palace to the front line, but since you are here, I also spared a lot of effort." Li Er nodded and said.

　　"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never let the Turks step into Yinshan for half a step." Li Xiaogong said.

　　Li Er nodded, the autumn harvest is coming, so you have to hold on to it.Four.

Chapter 138

　　However, when Li Xiaogong was practicing flying at home, the Turks, who had been on the move, moved.

　　According to the information detected by the scouts, the Turks sent [-] forward troops to go south to Lingzhou from the plastic side on the left.

　　After learning the battle report, Li Jing, who was stationed at Yanmen Pass, immediately dispatched the [-] troops led by Su Dingfang to Lingzhou for reinforcement.

　　In the first battle against the Turks, Li Jing wanted to win a beautiful victory, and he also wanted to see what role Su Dingfang of the cheetah fruit would play on the battlefield.

　　"Report, Tang Jun was found forty miles ahead, about [-] cavalry, rushing in our direction!"

　　The Turks who were burning, killing and looting in a village thirty kilometers outside Lingzhou were all stunned when they heard the news of their return.

　　"Haha, don't they defend the city well in Lingzhou and send more than 25 horses to fight head-on? They really don't know whether to live or die. Warriors, prepare for me. [-] Today I will use the heads of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to sacrifice wine. ."

　　And the tribe that the Turks acted as the vanguard this time was under the command of Ashina Simo, who was once named the "Junior King" by Li Yuan.

　　Ashina Simo, who led [-] subordinates, poured a big mouthful of kumiss in his mouth.Then he threw the sheepskin jug to the ground and shouted loudly at his subordinates.
