Regarding Wu Meiniang's words, Li Yan shook his head and smiled: "Mei Niang, don't worry, Luzon has been pacified, and with the more and more Han people moving over, the rule will only become more and more stable. As for Linyi, we have long controlled the whole country. Now we are just changing our name and ousting Fan Zhene from power. There will be no problem at all."

Li Yan said this, paused and then said: "Of course, to stabilize the rule of these two places, it is indeed necessary to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, which also makes us unable to draw too much power to expand. However, the Strait of Malacca is really important, which is related to the success of the trip between the seventh and eighth brothers. Therefore, this waterway must be in my hands. Moreover, I only need this Strait now, so for the time being, it will only take action against the forces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. With our naval power, there is no problem in destroying them. As long as we do not go deep into the inlands of Jinzhou and the Malay Peninsula, we do not need to use too much power, nor will it have any adverse impact on Linyi and Luzon now."

When Wu Meiniang heard that Li Yan was just trying to eliminate the forces along the Strait of Malacca, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Others may not know, but Wu Meiniang, who is in charge of intelligence, knew very well that the forces around Malacca were actually not strong. For example, taking the current overlord of Malacca, Mo Luoyou, as an example, although they had thousands of warships, due to shipbuilding technology, they were basically small boats. They could not compare with the warships in Li Yan's hands. The dozen giant warships on Linyi had already made the Mo Luoyou Kingdom dare not act rashly against the Han sea ships.

"It turns out that my husband has already planned, but I'm too worried!" Wu Meiniang said with confidence, and smiled at Li Yan again. She began to look through the information sent by Yang Jiu and the other two. Although they had dictated some of the information just now, the most detailed information was written. After Wu Meiniang looked through it, she picked up some important things for Li Yan to watch, and the rest were sealed.

It is said that a focused man attracts the most women's attention. In fact, it is also applicable if the man and woman in the conversation change positions. When Li Yan saw Wu Meiniang watching the information with full concentration, he felt a trembling heart. He suddenly realized that Wu Meiniang was so focused, even if both of them already had children. It still made Li Yan feel moved, and a heat surged in his lower abdomen.

Driven by this instinct, Li Yan walked behind Wu Meiniang by chance, then bent down and hugged the other person gently, and his hands were even more insincerely stroking the towering height on Meiniang's chest.

Wu Meiniang, who was focusing on the intelligence, was not mentally prepared at all. When she felt that her chest was attacked, she immediately felt anger. However, when she smelled the familiar aura on Li Yan, she thought that there were only the two of them in the study. Her whole body was soft and she glared at Li Yan with a slanted eyes. It was just that the beauty was coquettish and she was even more charming. Li Yan could no longer control the desire in her heart. She picked up Wu Meiniang horizontally, and then walked to the bed behind the study.

In the Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an, Li Shimin and Prince Li Zhi sat opposite each other. The two held black and white pieces and were hard to solve on the chessboard. Li Shimin's chess skills were superb. Although Li Zhi was young, he received guidance from several national players. The chess skills were also very extraordinary. In addition, Li Shimin had something to do in his mind today, so Li Zhi took advantage and gradually gained the upper hand.

"If you can't make it, the defeat is over. Zhinu, your chess power has increased!" Li Shimin suddenly put the white boy back in his hand, and then looked at Li Zhidao with some relief. As a father, he naturally hopes that his son can surpass him, and Li Shimin is no exception.

"Father, you are giving in to the son minister. Otherwise, with the father's chess power, how could the son minister defeat him?" Li Zhi also said modestly, but his face was filled with an unconcealed joy.

Li Shimin looked at his son but smiled faintly, stood up and moved his body, then walked to the desk, took out a memorial and a letter from it, turned around and handed it to Li Zhi and said, "Zhi Nu, this is a memorial written by your seventh brother and your starling brother. As for this letter, it was written by your sixth brother, and it all said one thing, that is, your seventh brother and your starling brother are about to go to India!"

When Li Shimin said this, a very complicated look flashed across his face, including heartache and pride. He also knew that Li Zhen and Li Yun would definitely encounter many dangers during this trip, and they might even lose their lives. However, since they wanted to do something, they naturally had to make some efforts. Nothing in this world fell from the sky. Thinking about it, he himself had to die several times on the battlefield before finally gaining the current country.

When Li Zhi heard that Li Zhen and Li Yun were about to go to Tianzhu, his face showed an envious look. Although he had learned a lot from Li Shimin and the ministers in recent years, and his temperament became much calmer, he was still a teenager after all, and his heart was full of yearning for the bizarre overseas world in the legend.

But unfortunately, his identity as a prince has become a shackle on him. Not to mention going overseas to travel, I am afraid that a group of old ministers would be advised for half a day when he left Chang'an City. Although Li Zhi knew that he was responsible for the future of the Tang Dynasty, he was still a 15 or 16-year-old boy after all, and he was at a fun and active age, especially watching his brothers wandering outside, and he could only stay in Chang'an City all day, which made Li Zhi feel like he was living like a year.

Li Shimin looked at the envy on his son's face and laughed secretly in his heart. He also understood Li Zhi's thoughts very well. When Li Zhi was not the prince, he clamored to go to Taiwan with Li Yan and the others. As a result, he was stopped by himself because he was too young. Later, he finally became the prince again, so it was even more impossible for him to go out.

"Zhi Nu, do you really want to go to your sixth brother's place?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.

After hearing this, Li Zhi suddenly raised his head with a look of surprise on his face, but soon he controlled his expression and said calmly: "Father, I have read a lot of books in the past few years, but I always feel that something is missing. I thought that Brother Six once told me that reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, so Erchen always wanted to go out, but was controlled by his identity, but he never got what he wanted!"

"Okay! It's better to travel thousands of miles than reading a thousand books!" Li Shimin smiled after hearing this, "Zhi Nu, your sixth brother is right. If you only stay in the deep palace, then he will never know the sufferings of the people. In the future, you must remember this when you cultivate your successor!"

Li Shimin said this and suddenly turned around, looking at Li Zhi with bright eyes and said, "It's only recently that my father figured out this problem, so I thought about it over and over again and decided to let you go out..."

"Really? Thank you father!" Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Zhi raised his head with ecstasy face. He had heard a trace of his father's words just now, but now after confirming this, he was still extremely surprised.

"Hmph, how can you be so impatient for the lord?" Li Shimin was interrupted by Li Zhi and couldn't help scolding him. However, seeing Li Zhi so happy, he, a father, was also happy, and his tone was not full of anger.

Li Zhi also knew that he was too happy, and fortunately, there were only their father and emperor here. If there were other ministers here, he would probably have to say that he had lost his manners in front of the palace.

Seeing Li Zhi sticking out his tongue and standing up again, Li Shimin glared at his son again, and then continued: "But this time, you are not just for you to go out for a trip. You can arrange the journey yourself. I will give you a year. Within this year, you must be familiar with the lives of the people in China. You can also go to your sixth brother to experience the difference between your sixth brother and our Tang Dynasty. You will write a comparative article afterwards, and check it for your father!"

"One year?" Li Zhi couldn't believe it. He didn't expect that his father would give him such great freedom and make arrangements for a year. He could even go to Liu Ge's place. It was like a dream.

Thinking of this year's freedom, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little lost, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Thank you, my son will definitely live up to your father's expectations!"

Li Shimin looked at his son who was excited and blushed, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, with a hint of doting on his face, and then said, "Get up, let's make this decision for my father, in fact, it's mainly to broaden your horizons. Another point is that your sixth brother is developing very fast. For example, for the island of Taiwan, the development speed is simply incredible. In just a few years, it's almost as good as the Shangdengzhou area. If it's a few years, it's probably more prosperous than the Guanzhong area of ​​our Tang Dynasty. I thought about this for a long time. So if you go there, ask your sixth brother for advice, and you will use it in the future!"

"Yes, my father and son have not seen Brother Six for several years. We must have a good chat with him then!" Li Zhi said excitedly. He has been waiting for this opportunity for many years, so now he wants to set off immediately.

However, Li Zhi immediately thought of another question and asked cautiously: "Father, if you go out this time, can you find someone to accompany me?"

Although Li Zhi didn't say who he was looking for, as a experienced person, Li Shimin was of course the thought of his son. Therefore, after looking at Li Zhi, he said with a serious face: "If you can let you go out for a year, you are under tremendous pressure for your father. How can you bring other people?"
