"Brother Six~kekeke~" Si Zi jumped out of the boat happily, and then flew into Li Min's arms like a little swallow. Li Min also laughed and hugged Si Zi several times before stopping.

"Sixth brother! Sixth sister-in-law!" At this time, Li Zhi also came down and bowed to Li Min and Wen Xin very respectfully. Cai'er, who was in a hurry, also called "cousin" and then ran to Wen Xin.

He held her arm and kept talking.

Li Min put down Si Zi and let her talk to Wen Xin. Then he walked up to Li Zhi and lightly punched his chest and said: "Ninth brother, it seems that it was a right decision to let you go to the military academy. At least your body is strong.

He is much stronger than before.”

Li Zhi was extremely excited when he heard Sixth Brother's joke. It was because of Sixth Brother's help to him in the past few years that Li Zhi felt like hugging Li Min and crying.

But at this moment, Chou Chou, who was already five years old, and his two younger brothers, Australia and Nanyang, ran to Li Zhi eagerly, and then whispered to Li Zhi: "Are you our ninth uncle?"

"Well, you are Chou Chou, right? Uncle Jiu hugged you when you were born!" Li Zhi saw Chou Chou and immediately guessed her identity. As for the other two little ones, there was no need to ask.

I know, these must be my two nephews.

"Great, Uncle Jiu gave us a gift!" The three Chou Chou people jumped up happily after hearing this, and then three little hands reached out to Li Zhi at the same time to ask for gifts.

Uh~, Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and reached behind to wave. As a result, boxes of things were moved from the boat. These were all gifts he had prepared. As for the toys prepared by Si Zi.

Because the quantity is too large, it cannot be shipped yet.

"Yeah~ Long live Uncle Jiu!" As soon as Chou Chou and the others saw the gifts, they immediately cheered and ran over to choose gifts. At this time, Si Zi also ran over, helping Chou Chou and the others choose gifts while introducing himself to them.

They brought a lot of fun things, and as a result, the three children were also very curious about the little aunt's gifts, and even ran to the boat impatiently to pick out gifts.

After a long time, Si Zi took Chou Chou and the others off the boat, but the maids behind them were all holding gifts. Among them, the big rag doll that Si Zi liked the most was really liked by Chou Chou, but it was a pity that she was too small.

.I can’t hold her at all, otherwise I will never let go.

The family happily returned to the palace in Keelung. The banquet had already been held, and because Li Zhi, Cai'er and Si Zi were not outsiders, there were no male and female seats. Everyone gathered together. At the same time, Lian Xijun,

Mengxue and Jin Shengman also came, but Wu Meiniang was not there because Li Zhi had met her before when she was in Chang'an. Although it had been many years, she was still worried about being recognized by Li Zhi, and Li Zhi was different

Yu Li Zhen. Therefore, Wu Meiniang did not participate because of illness.

When Li Min was still in Chang'an, Li Zhi and Si Zi liked to eat and drink at Li Min's mansion. After all, the delicacies at Prince Qi's mansion were the best in Chang'an. But later, after Li Min took office in Dengzhou, the two

People have never been able to taste the delicacies of Prince Qi's Mansion. At most, Li Min had some canned food sent to Chang'an. Although it was also made by the chef of the Prince's Mansion, it was not fresh after all.

It is also true that Li Zhi and Sizi's appetites were naturally whetted by the delicious food from Prince Qi's mansion today. Tèbié, a small Sizi, actually ate more than Li Min. This made the three Chou Chou siblings

I kept staring at this little aunt, wondering whether I should return the gift I got today? Because it looked like this little aunt had not eaten for several days.

After dinner, Cai'er and Sizi took Chou Chou and the others to play. Wen Xin and Xi Jun also accompanied them. As for Li Zhi, Li Zhi and Li Min sat in the palace drinking tea and chatting about their separation.

What happened in the year.

"Sixth brother, I have to thank you very much for the matter between Cai'er and me!" Li Zhi suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Min. Cai'er could become the quasi-prince, and Li Min planned and helped behind the scenes, and finally

Li Zhi finally got his wish, so he had always wanted to express his gratitude to Li Min personally, and today he finally had this opportunity.

After hearing this, Li Min smiled and said: "Okay, don't be polite to me. Cai'er is my cousin and you are my brother. If I, the elder brother, don't help you, who else in the world can

Help you?"

Li Zhi straightened up and smiled at Li Min, with a sense of gratitude in his smile. Then he thought of something and immediately asked: "Brother Six, I heard that you sent a huge fleet to Malacca."

That traffic artery did not land on Jinzhou on the south side of the strait, nor did it take action against the local forces in Mo Luoyou. Instead, it built a lion city on the Malay Peninsula in the north. Isn't this too troublesome?

In my opinion, it is better to just grab all the places in Mo Luoyou, these ports are all ready-made and can be used anywhere!"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Min showed a wry smile and said: "Ninth brother doesn't know something. Small countries like Mo Luoyou don't seem to be strong, but they have the vast Jinzhou at their backs and face my army.

At that time, they will definitely flee to the interior of Jinzhou. It seems that I have strong military strength now, but after annexing Luzon and Linyi, I cannot allocate too many troops to conquer Jinzhou, so the best way is not to do it for the time being.

Instead of disturbing them, we built another port, competed with them openly, and even deliberately aroused their dissatisfaction and asked them to take the initiative to attack the Lion City."

"Hey, why is this? Brother Six, didn't you say that you don't have enough troops? Why do you want to take the initiative to provoke?" Li Zhi asked with some understanding.

"Hahaha~" Li Min laughed after hearing this, "The annexation of Luzon and Linyi will only occupy the army, but it will have little impact on the navy. Moreover, when my navy was first established, it was an offensive army.

, but there are too few opponents in this world who can compete with them. However, although the navy is powerful, it cannot sail the ship to land, so I need those small countries in Mo Luoyou to gather their forces and then attack the Lion City across the sea.

, it will be time for the navy to defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"So that's it, Brother Six, you are the smarter one!" Li Zhi also suddenly realized that although the words "leverage your strengths and avoid weaknesses" are simple to say, there are very few people who can actually do it. But now Li Min has taught him a vivid lesson.

.

"By the way, Sixth Brother, how are Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother now? I just heard on the road that they captured half of that Ceylon. It's been a few months now, and I don't know if they have a firm foothold?

"Li Zhi then asked. When they were in the juvenile class of the military academy, the three brothers studied together, which made the three of them have a deep relationship. Later, both Li Zhen and Li Yun attended the regular military academy class, but only Li Zhen and Li Yun attended the regular military academy class.

Because of his special status, Li Zhi could only occasionally attend the military academy and could not truly study in the military academy. This made Li Zhi often feel regretful.

"The seventh brother and the eighth brother have opened up the situation now, but they did some disgraceful things in the middle!" Li Min laughed after hearing this. Behind Li Zhen and Li Yun, not only did Li Shimin support, but also Li Min

With their support and their willingness to work hard, they have now established a firm foothold in Tianzhu.

"Oh? I would believe it if Brother Bagh did something disgraceful, but with Brother Six's temperament, how could he do anything disgraceful?" Li Zhi also asked with interest. Li Min laughed after hearing this,

Tell the story of the actions of Li Zhen and Li Yun during this period.

It turned out that after Li Zhen and Li Yun marched from the northern end of Ceylon Island and directly captured the capital of the Tamil Kingdom, they soon took control of the entire Tamil Kingdom. Except for some mountainous areas in the center of the island, there were sporadic resistance from the Tamil people.

Apart from the strength, most other areas have been pacified.

After pacifying the Tamil Kingdom, Li Zhen and Li Yun immediately cooperated with the Sinhala Kingdom in various aspects, such as purchasing various Sinhala goods and then having them sold to the Tang Dynasty. In addition, they also cooperated in military and religious matters.

They also started close exchanges, which made the Sinhalese Kingdom have great trust in brothers Li Zhen and Li Yun, and soon the two countries formed a kingdom of brothers.

It was at this time that Li Zhen and Li Yun discovered a very interesting phenomenon in the Sinhala Kingdom, that is, in the Lion City, the capital of the Sinhala Kingdom, there was a very special building called the Tooth Relic Shrine, which was dedicated to the Buddha.

It is said that two hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Jiajia on the Tianzhu continent was attacked by neighboring countries. The king was worried that the Buddha's tooth relic preserved in the country would be damaged by the war, so he sent his daughter, a princess named Hemanli, to

The tooth of the Buddha was sent to the Sinhalese Kingdom.

Sinhala is a Buddhist country, and everyone in the country believes in Buddhism. Therefore, the tooth relic of the Buddha has naturally become the national treasure of the Sinhala Kingdom, and a Seven Treasures Shrine has been specially built to worship it. Every three months, the Sinhala Kingdom

The tooth relics of the Buddha will be brought out from the monastery to be worshiped, and each time the king must personally greet them.

Of course, the king is busy with affairs and rarely has time, so usually a senior monk wearing royal robes, sitting on an elephant, takes out the Buddha's tooth, and each time it is enshrined in a temple full of incense.

Five days, and then please go back. The eminent monk Faxian of the Jin Dynasty once visited the Sinhalese Kingdom and witnessed the local activity of worshiping the tooth relic of the Buddha.

When Li Zhen and Li Yun went to the Sinhala Kingdom to visit King Xinkeya, they were very lucky to encounter an event held in the Lion City to honor the Buddha's Tooth Relic. In order to celebrate the demise of their old enemy, the Tamil Kingdom, two more people, Li Zhen and Li Yun, were invited.

As a friend from afar, Xinkeya personally brought out the Buddha's Tooth Relic on an elephant, and invited Li Zhen and Li Yun to pay homage to the Buddha's Tooth Relic up close.

Li Zhen and Li Yun are no strangers to the Buddha's Tooth Relic, because there is also one in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. They once visited it. Although it is slightly different from the one in the Sinhala Kingdom, it is indeed the relic of the eminent monk Dharma of the Jin Dynasty.

Xian was brought back to the Central Plains from Tianzhu. Moreover, they also knew that there were originally four tooth relics of the Buddha, but the whereabouts of two of them were unknown. Only two from the Tang Dynasty and the Sinhala Kingdom survived.
