Chapter Five Hundred and Thirteenth Brother Jiu, bring Sizi!

Just when Li Zhi was disappointed and could not take Caier to play, Li Shimin, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly coughed and said, "But although you can't take others with you, if someone wants to visit relatives and happens to be with you, you can go together. However, when you get along, you must be in love and stop being courtesy, and you must not break the rules!"

Li Shimin's words were to remind Li Zhi that although he could not bring Caier with him openly, he could let Caier go to Taiwan in the name of visiting relatives, and then the two of them would go with him. However, in the end, Li Shimin was afraid that Li Zhi and Caier would do something that would violate the etiquette, so he specifically reminded him so that he would not cause any scandal.

Li Zhi naturally understood his father's words, and immediately replied with a blushing face: "Thank you for your father's teachings, I'll save you!"

Next, Li Shimin asked Li Zhi about his studies, but Li Zhi's mind is now full of going out, so he was speechless. Li Shimin was so angry that he scolded him a few more words, and then asked Li Zhi to go back. He set the road map in the past few days and presented it to him to watch, and then he could arrange for Li Zhi to go out.

Li Zhi left Liangyi Palace with a silly smile on his face. He wanted to go back to his Eastern Palace, but he thought of such good news and naturally wanted to share it with Caier. Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards another palace gate, where to go out to the Madam Sui Mansion.

However, before Li Zhi could leave the area of ​​Liangyi Hall, he was about to pass through a covered bridge, and suddenly he heard a crisp voice beside him shouting: "Brother Jiu, what makes you so happy?"

Following the sound, Li Zhi turned around and happened to see a little girl of eleven or twelve years old standing on the bridge, looking at herself with a smile. When Li Zhi saw this girl, he was also very happy and walked over with a smile and said, "Yizi, are you going to practice calligraphy again? I just came back from Liangyi Hall, and my father happened to be free."

This little girl is the little girl who likes to stick to Li Yan the most. However, seven or eight years passed, and the three-year-old girl was already tall and graceful. Although she was only eleven or twelve years old, she was already a little beauty. In a few years, she would probably be able to compare with her sister Princess Changle, but by then Li Shimin would have to find a family for Yi Zi.

Wei Zi is the daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and is also the most favored person among princes and princesses. It is no exaggeration to say that although Li Shimin favors Li Yan, compared with Wei Zi, Li Yan is willing to lose the disadvantage. It can be said that Li Shimin has already spoiled Wei Zi. Fortunately, Wei Zi is kind and innocent by nature. Even when Li Shimin got angry about some political affairs, Wei Zi would advise him, which is quite like Empress Changsun, so no matter who he has seen Wei Zi, he will fall in love with this little princess.

Wei Zi likes calligraphy, especially imitating the handwriting of her father Li Shimin, and even some ministers can't tell it. However, Wei Zi still felt dissatisfied, so she often came to her father to learn calligraphy. Li Zhi just saw her and said that. However, Wei Zi said a little dissatisfied: "Brother Jiu, don't change the topic. I asked you why you are so happy. Haven't you answered me yet?"

Hearing that Wei Zi was chasing him, Li Zhi sighed helplessly. It seemed that he could not go to Caier's place for the time being. Then Li Zhi told him the news that Li Shimin had just given him a year to travel, and as Wei Zi listened, his two beautiful big eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Brother Jiu, can you take me with me? Please, I haven't seen Brother Six for several years. I have dreamed of him these days. Last time, Sister Wen Xin gave birth, I couldn't go. This time, I have to go see Brother Six and our little nephew..." Yizi suddenly rushed over and hugged Li Zhi's arm, and said with a coquettish look on his face.

When Li Yan was in Chang'an, she was closest to Yizi. Unfortunately, after Li Yan arrived in Dengzhou, she only came back twice. In short, Yi Zi hadn't seen Li Yan for four or five years, so she naturally missed the sixth brother who played with her the most.

"This is not possible. I just asked my father to agree to let me take Caier, but my father didn't agree. In addition, as a princess, it is difficult for you to leave the palace, let alone go to Brother Six." Li Zhi shook his head immediately when he heard this. The princess of the Tang Dynasty are actually very restricted. Generally, it is difficult to leave the palace after he is ten years old, unless it is after getting married, so the requirement of Yizi is too difficult.

"Brother Jiu, Yizi knows that you feel sorry for me the most. Please bring Yizi with you, okay?" Yizi shook Li Zhi's arm and used his own coquettishness. Generally speaking, Li Zhi would definitely not be able to withstand Yizi's coquettishness.

However, this fact is not something that Li Zhi can do, so no matter how cute Li Zhi acted, Li Zhi did not dare to let go. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and had to speak helplessly: "Xizi, why don't you go and ask your father. If your father agrees to go with me, then I will take you with you!"

"Okay, this is what Brother Jiu said. I'll beg my father now. Don't regret it then!" Although Yizi is young, she is a small man and knows that Li Zhi can't make the decision on this matter, so she is waiting for the words of Brother Jiu Li Zhi.

"Is your Jiu brother such a person?" Li Zhi intimately reached out and knocked Yizi's little head, "Go and beg your father quickly. I have to go back and plan the itinerary for the next year. If your father promises you to go, tell me where you want to go, and Jiu brother will help you add it!"

"Thank you, Brother Jiu!" When the little girl heard Li Zhi's words, she jumped up happily and stopped caring about Li Zhi. She held the corner of her skirt and ran towards Liangyi Palace. Looking at her favorite sister, Li Zhi smiled and shook her head. Although he wanted to help Yizi, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, his father would not agree to let her go out with her.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi obviously underestimated Yizi's ability and also underestimated Li Shimin's favor for Yizi. That night, when Li Zhi was lying on the map to study his itinerary, Yizi jumped to his East Palace, and then told Li Zhi very excitedly that their father had agreed to Yizi's request.

After hearing this news, Li Zhi felt a little angry because he wanted to take Caier there before, but Li Shimin refused to make it public, but asked Caier to accompany him in the name of visiting Li Yan. But now, as a princess who is about to marry in the Tang Dynasty, Yizi cannot go out according to the system, but Li Shimin agreed immediately. This made Li Zhi sigh at the end, they were all the same parents, why is the difference in treatment so big?

Although he sighed in his heart that his father was unfair, it did not affect Li Zhi's interest at all. In addition, he grew up with Yizi and was a mother and compatriot, so he naturally had a deeper relationship than other brothers and sisters, so he was very happy about taking Yizi with him. In addition, Caier, who received the notification from Lizhi, was actually a little hesitant. After all, she and Li Zhi were just engaged and had not officially gotten married. If she had been out with Lizhi for a year at this time, she would also be worried about any bad rumors. However, when she heard that Yizi was also going with her, Caier agreed to go together. After all, she missed her cousin and her cousin's sister-in-law a little.

The three main people's choices have been determined, and Li Zhi referred to Caier and Yizi's opinions and quickly determined the route. Because this time he was out, Li Zhi decided to take a walk in the Tang Dynasty first, first in the Guanzhong area, then go to the coal mines, fur trading markets near Taiyuan, and then go back to Luoyang, then take a boat to Zhengzhou to take the boat to Weizhou, and then go north to Cangzhou and other places. There is the cotton textile industrial base of the Tang Dynasty. One-third of the cotton cloth in the country is produced in Cangzhou and several nearby states.

Next, we have to go directly from Cangzhou, which is also the highlight of their trip. That is, we will walk through Li Yan's territory and carefully examine the differences between Li Yan's rule and the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhi can also learn the strategies of governing the country from this comparison, while understanding the people's nature, and better understand the sufferings of the people and the ideas of ordinary people. This is one of the most basic conditions for becoming a wise monarch of a generation.

After the route was formulated, Li Zhi immediately said goodbye to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had already made preparations. This trip not only allowed the two thousand elite soldiers of the prince to accompany him, but also specially allocated two thousand imperial guards of the Tang Dynasty. They were all elite soldiers who had lived for the rest of their lives. With these four thousand guards, there was absolutely no problem with the safety of Li Zhi and Yizi. Even as long as he was willing, he could take these four thousand tiger men to massacre the city and destroy the country.

However, Li Zhi, as the prince, had to travel abroad, caused quite a stir in the court. Not only were the conservative ministers such as Kong Yingda opposed it, but even the core ministers such as Fang Xuanling opposed it. However, Li Shimin was a founding emperor after all, and he had the courage to be the first in the world. As long as he felt that something was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, even if all the ministers opposed it, he could withstand all the pressure and elect this matter. In fact, it was his courage that Li Yan's move to raise industry and commerce in the Tang Dynasty was so smooth, and he did not suffer much resistance at the beginning.

Although Li Shimin could withstand the pressure in the court, he could not withstand the pressure in the harem. The most important one was Empress Changsun. As a mother, Empress Changsun naturally did not want to watch her children leave her, especially after Li Chengqian and Li Tai were demoted from Chang'an for crimes, among the biological children who remained with Empress Changsun, there were only Princess Changle, Li Zhi and Yizi. However, Princess Changle was married and was in poor health and could not be with her side, so she was usually only Li Zhi and Yizi, but now it's good that Li Zhi and Yizi have to go out for a trip, and they have been away for a year, which naturally made her mother extremely reluctant.

Li Shimin couldn't resist Empress Changsun's complaints, and finally let Wei Zi take action, acting coquettishly and pleasing. Finally, Empress Changsun relaxed and just called Li Zhi over and advised him for a long time to take good care of his sister.
