Chapter 662 Grandpa Has Returned to Chang'an
But what Li Ke didn't expect was that he actually met an unexpected person here, Li Shiji.
"General Li, why are you here?" Li Ke was a little curious.
"The minister is newly appointed as the Protector of the Protectorate of the Dongyi, controlling the military affairs and local defense of Youzhou and other places." Li Shiji said with a smile.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, it was different from history, Li Shiji in this period in history was still in Chang'an, and did not come to Youzhou, and the Dongyi Protectorate was established earlier than in history.
The reason why Li Shimin appointed Li Shiji to come here is probably to stand up for Li Ke. In other words, Li Shimin knows very well that the Dongyi Protectorate (Youzhou, Hebei, Liaoning and other places) is related to Li Ke's next strategy, especially for Li Ke. Goguryeo strategy, so a reliable person is needed.
"That's right. I'm relieved when you're here. I just happen to have something to arrange for you." Li Ke said.
"Your Highness, just give orders." Li Shiji said directly, he knew very well that Li Shimin asked him to come here just to listen to Li Ke's arrangement.
Li Shiji served as the protector of the Dongyi Governor's Mansion, which was considered to have solved Li Ke's problem. After giving Li Shiji a secret explanation, Li Ke set off to return to Chang'an.
It's been almost a year since he left. Speaking of which, he still misses his father. He hasn't been angry with him for a long time, and he really misses him a little.
And it is estimated that after going back, my mother Yang Concubine will have to cry again.
And the little sis must have grown up too, and they yelled at the third brother to bring them delicious food.
At the beginning of February in the 21st year of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke's ship Qinwang entered the Weihe Wharf again. This time it did not enter the Caoqu, but stopped at the Weihe Wharf, because the current Weihe Wharf has also been expanded for a whole year. Tang Everbright City needs a lot of building materials, so the Weihe Wharf also directly began to expand with concrete.
However, this King of Qin is not the King of Qin that Li Ke took on the sea, but Yu Wenlin specially developed it for Li Ke. The King of Qin sails in the inland river, sails and paddles coexist, the countercurrent is faster, and the bottom of the ship is not as good as a sea ship. Sharp, but not as flat as a gondola.
The difference from the last time is that this time Li Shimin personally came to the Weihe Wharf to meet Li Ke. Not only Li Shimin, but also all the court officials were pulled over by Li Shimin. Having acquired so much land, it is naturally different from returning from Xizhou before.
When he got off the boat and saw Li Shimin, Li Ke was still a little moved. After all, he was his father, so even if he didn't come to pick him up, it was justified.
"I have seen my father." Li Ke saluted Li Shimin seriously, and Chang Le and others who followed Li Ke naturally also saluted Li Shimin.
"Excuse me, you did a good job going out this time." Li Shimin smiled and waved his hands.
"Hey, Dad, you miss me so much." After Li Ke stood up straight, the ministers were going to salute Li Ke and Chang Le, but before they could salute, Li Ke walked over, and then Give Li Shimin a big hug.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment by Li Ke's actions. After being stunned, Li Shimin felt a little bit emotional. This kid has finally grown up.He also hugged Li Ke with his backhand, patted him on the back, and then said: "Okay, okay, such an adult, how decent it is."
"Hey, I see what you said, even if I am 80 years old, I am still a child in your eyes." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Your father can't live that long." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Come on, meet everyone. His Royal Highness King Qin is here to pick you up when he returns to Chang'an."
"I have seen His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Princess Changle." All the ministers saluted at this moment.
"Everyone is free, everyone has worked hard this year." Li Ke and Chang Le also returned the gift to everyone.
Li Tai, Li You, and Li Yin are all here. Because they are 14 years old, they all need to go to court, so naturally they all came to pick up Li Ke at this moment.
"Meet the third brother." The three of them were also very happy.
"Excuse me, brother?" Li Ke looked around, and it seemed that Li Chengqian was not there.
As soon as Li Ke's words came out, everyone's expressions were a little weird, only Li Shimin said without changing his face: "Oh, your reforms in Lingnan Road are very important. As a prince of a country, it is very important to understand these reforms. The future direction of Tang Dynasty, so your eldest brother set off for Lingnan Road about five days ago."
"There, he will help you keep an eye on all the reforms of Lingnan Road and some subsequent developments, and ensure that it will run according to your plan. According to the time, it should leave the Yangtze River and reach the sea by now."
Li Shimin's righteous words.
But Li Ke suddenly widened his eyes, and a "?" sign slowly appeared on his head.
So, I'm back, my brother is gone? !And still drove away with me?Are you sure there is nothing wrong with it.
"Oh, by the way, your elder brother told me before he left that he had no place to live in the past. You must have prepared a place to live when you went, and he will live in your place. There is no need to prepare another manor. Save money for the Tang treasury." Li Shimin added.
Li Ke: "..."
This... The problem is that there is nothing wrong with it, but why do I always feel that there is something wrong with it?
Brother, don't you like your third brother?You didn't even see me for a second and then left?
"My elder brother went by himself?" Li Ke asked after a pause.
"Oh no, the whole family has gone. It is estimated to be at least a year. It is definitely impossible to go alone. Didn't you say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. By the way, let Li Xiang follow the past to have a look. It's good to have knowledge." Li Shimin said.
Li Ke: "..."
"Third Brother, um, is there any other places that need someone to watch over? I can also help you. I can't deal with the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty, but I should be fine if you help me watch the local government affairs." Li Tai thought for a while, then leaned over and spoke cautiously.
Li Ke squinted at him, his hair was still short, and it seemed that he didn't want to grow long hair anymore, Li Ke said lightly: "Forget about government affairs, but I don't see why you haven't completely lost weight with your body shape. ? After I come back, the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an will start military training immediately, and I will set up a special brigade in the urban management. You will train with the special brigade for five months."
"What does the special team do?" Li Tai was taken aback for a moment.
"It is to perform special missions, such as latent missions, which is to pretend to be ordinary people and go to various restaurants, brothels and other places in Chang'an City to inquire about information." Li Ke said without changing his expression.
"Okay, then third brother, I'll go when you start." Li Tai's eyes lit up immediately.
"Well, don't worry, you will definitely not be able to escape." Li Ke nodded.
