Chapter 262 Sending each other off!

Looking at her two sons, Empress Changsun was so angry that she said, "Take the two down and put them in jail for one month."

"Yes, Empress!" The guards immediately stepped forward and took Li Chengqian and Li Tai out of Baifu Palace.

The sudden fight between the two made the younger prince and the princess cry. When Yizi and Li Zhi saw that Emperor Changsun had returned, they ran over and hugged Empress Changsun and refused to let go. Princess Changle also looked pale.

"It's all gone!" The family banquet has become like this and there is no need to continue. Empress Changsun waved her hand and took Yizi and Li Zhi to Yanxi Palace tiredly.

When the others saw Empress Changsun leaving, they did not stay for a long time. They left one after another, and the entire Baifu Palace soon became empty.

This kind of thing happened at the end of the New Year, and Empress Changsun was naturally sad, but as the saying goes, several families were happy and some were sad. Some were worried and some were happy. Just like last year, Li You still went to Chang'an for the New Year, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

"You'er, you must seize this opportunity. The prince will inevitably become decadent because of this matter. The King of Wei will definitely not be able to please the emperor, because anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is his command behind his back. You should try your best to please His Majesty's favor." Yin Hongzhi said with a smile.

Li You's eyes were filled with joy, and he said, "What my uncle said is that the throne was out of reach for me in the past, but now there is some hope." He smiled, but then he thought about it, and he said, "But there are still Li Ke and Li Yan."

Yin Hongzhi said: "You don't have to worry about these two people. You have more advantages than them. Those old ministers who have half of the blood of Emperor Yang of Sui will not support them ascending the throne."

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Li You's mouth became stronger and stronger, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

In Yizhou, Li Yan only got the information from Chang'an after the New Year. After reading the content of the secret report, he shook his head. In history, the two brothers fought to the death. Unexpectedly, after his arrival, they changed a lot of things. The two of them eventually turned against each other. In the past, they still maintained a superficial calm. Now it seems that they put the secret fight on the surface in the future. He was once again grateful that he did not go to Chang'an for the New Year. It was so great that he could eat, drink whenever he wanted, and play when he wanted. The political center was indeed full of trouble.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Cui Yingying came out of the house wearing a thick cotton coat. The clothes were made of cotton harvested in Yizhou. She put them on just now from the workshop.

There was nothing to hide in this secret report, so he showed Cui Yingying the letter.

"How could such a thing happen?" Cui Yingying covered her mouth and said, "Hey, if that's the case, I'm afraid the dispute over the throne between the princes will be even more intense."

Li Yan nodded and said, "That's right. When Li Chengqian was firmly in the position of prince, the other princes had not had any excessive thoughts. Now he has made such a big mistake, and he has been listening to Ashinalan's words for the past two years. What would his father and ministers feel when they know it?"

Nodded, Cui Yingying said, "Will your Highness go to Chang'an to see the situation?" Cui Yingying said.

"Can't go!" Li Yan stroked the head of the lion on the white jade bridge, "At this time, the father must be the most sad time. He also distrusts all the princes. At this time, I go to Chang'an. Isn't it obvious that I want to fight for the position of the prince?"

Cui Yingying nodded. "Your Highness said that, then what should we do?"

Li Yan said, "Do nothing, just pretend that this has not happened, because nothing is appropriate to do." Li Yan is not very concerned about this matter himself. Li Shimin still has a long life, so why are you doing so anxious?

Boredly returning the letter to Li Yan, Cui Yingying said: "Your Highness is also saying that when you are so sensitive, a little action will arouse others' speculation."

Li Yan turned his gaze to Cui Yingying, and he said, "How is this cotton coat? Is it warm?"

Cui Yingying remembered this incident and walked around Li Yan and said, "It's warm, comfortable, and very soft."

Li Yan is not surprised. In modern times, cotton fabrics can only be considered mass products, and they are not high-end things. Therefore, Li Yan has set cotton on mass clothing from the beginning, which is much better than the people wearing linen clothes. Moreover, with cotton, he can also produce bandages, cotton swabs and other medical supplies, so that Sun Simiao would not ask him for cotton swabs every day after him.

The clothes Cui Yingying was wearing were still the same as women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty, but a layer of lining was added to it, and cotton was added to the lining. The thick cotton coat made her look like she was swollen. Li Yan couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"I knew your highness would smile." Cui Yingying said dissatisfiedly. In fact, every winter she wore fur, which is a high-end product in modern times. However, after Li Mianyi was sent here, she felt curious, so she tried it on.

Li Yan immediately said: "I won't smile anymore. Anyway, this is in the royal palace, just be warm, why are you doing so beautiful clothes?"

Cui Yingying glanced at Li Yan and returned to the bedroom angrily.

Looking at Cui Yingying who was leaving, Li Yan remembered that he had some serious things to do, so he immediately called Rongda to ask him to prepare horses. Jin Daqian was going to set off for Ryukyu today, and he had to send him off no matter what he said.

He rode to Nanhe Wharf, and the slave boarded the treasure ship under the custody of the soldiers. After the trial voyage last year, the construction of the treasure ship did not stop, and it was still continuing. It was just that the treasure ship was transporting the treasure ship. As for the warships, Li Yan asked to produce some small warships, and each warship could be equipped with thirty artillery guns, because it was enough to continue to produce large treasure ships, because the cost was too high, and the second was not suitable for some small battles. Small warships were much better. Not only were they low in construction, but they also had few pilots, and they could also be used to patrol at sea.

After capturing Ryukyu, Sun Dongxu did not relax his vigilance, because the pirate king Wang Shijie fled and his body was not found among the dead pirates, which made him very worried because Wang Shijie was not hurt, and he also learned from the captives that there were still Japanese pirates in the north.

"Your Highness!" Jin Daqian saw Li Yan from afar. He got off the boat and came to Li Yan.

Looking at the old housekeeper who had followed him from the beginning, Li Yan felt a little reluctant, but Ryukyu was alone overseas. He needed someone he trusted to take care of him outside to avoid accidents. Otherwise, if the navy outside chose to rebel, it would be enough for him to drink a pot, after all, the navy had such a powerful weapon in his hands.

"I have issued a document to order you to be the governor of Ryukyu. When you arrive at Ryukyu Island, you will contact Sun Dongxu and help them build the naval base there first. After a while, I will go to Ryukyu again, and I will also expect you to prepare a seafood meal for me."

Jin Daqian laughed and said, "Don't worry, your highness, as long as Jin Daqian can catch it, you will definitely prepare everything for you." Since he arrived in Ryukyu, Li Yan also told him a lot about the ocean, and the seafood naturally mentioned it. Thinking of the great white shark in Li Yan's mouth, Jin Daqian couldn't help but shivering again. How terrifying that thing that could swallow a person would be.

"Don't talk big, I won't forgive you if I can't take it out." During the Tang Dynasty, people didn't know enough about the creatures in the ocean, and they rarely ate things in the ocean, because they didn't know many marine creatures and didn't know whether they could eat them. "Also, you must remember to read the encyclopedia of marine biology that I gave you so that you won't eat anything you shouldn't eat."

"Yes, Your Highness." Jin Daqian's eyes suddenly felt warm, and he said, "Your Highness is really nice to the old slave."

Li Yan patted his shoulder and said, "What an old slave who is not an old slave? After going to Ryukyu, you are the governor of Ryukyu. You can't claim to yourself like this."

Kim Daqian wiped his tears and said, "Yes, Your Highness, Daqian remembers it."

At this time, the servants had basically boarded the ship. Li Yan said, "You must leave after sending you thousands of miles. You can board the ship. We will meet you in Ryukyu in a few days."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Jin Daqian looked at the fleet, bowed deeply to Li Yan, and walked towards the fleet. After he boarded the ship, with the loud whistle, the fleet slowly started, carrying Li Yan's hope for them. (To be continued...)
