Li Ke had nothing to do with the appointment in the court, but okay, the extra position was not much different from what he had done before.
What's more, I have resigned from so many messy positions, so it's not a loss. The advantage is mine! victory is in sight! Just around the corner! The future is promising!
When Li Shimin was conferring a special seal in the court, it was the Qin King's seaside manor in Guangzhou, Lingnan Road.
Li Chengqian was wearing a pair of big pants and was fishing on a strange-looking and huge boat. This boat was not the sharp-bottomed sea-going boat recently developed by Datang, but a flat-bottomed and very wide flat-bottomed boat, or rather It was developed only for offshore fishing. It is more like a huge platform, with large anchors in four directions stably fixing it in place.
Li Chengqian was lying on the deck chair, with the parasol on his head blocking the scorching sun. Although it was only the end of March in the Gregorian calendar of the Tang Dynasty, it was already like a hot summer in Guangzhou.
"Aye, Aye, the fish is on, it's almost time to catch the fish." Li Xiang, who was next to him, saw the fishing rod on the side of the boat moving and immediately said excitedly.
"Coming, coming." Li Chengqian immediately jumped up from the mesh lounge chair, quickly picked up the fishing rod, and started fighting with the fish in the sea, while Li Xiang cheered and cheered beside him.
The two people struggled for more than 20 minutes before they finally got the fish out. At first glance, they found that the fish was quite big.
"What kind of fish is this?" Li Chengqian looked at the fish and asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, this is the Seven-Star Spot. Your Highness King Qin calls it the Eastern Star Spot. The meat is delicious and especially delicious." Li Chengqian's guard immediately smiled and said. This guard was transferred from Guangzhou Prefecture and is a navy guard trained locally. The prince's guards who followed Li Chengqian have been training in swimming recently. After all, they are now close to the sea, so they need to learn swimming and common sense at sea.
"I'll have this for lunch today." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said happily.
"It's Your Highness."
"Aye, I also want to fish." Li Xiang said quickly.
"Haha, I asked you to prepare a small fishing rod for you this afternoon. You can only catch small fish." Li Chengqian laughed twice.
"good!"
"Let's go, let's go back, your mother-in-law and the others are probably going to nag us again." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Um."
Li Chengqian and the others took a separate boat to the pier of the manor, which was not far from the manor.
After boarding the pier, some coconut trees have been planted on the beach on the left. Li Mao, the housekeeper of the third son, said that Li Ke likes these coconut trees. They transplanted many of them from Nanyang before, and there are also those called Palm trees or whatever, they are all pretty.
"Your Highness, you are back." Su and Wang were resting on the beach. When they saw Li Chengqian, they both came back with a smile.
"How is it? It's nice here," Li Chengqian asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's really relaxing. It's a completely different feeling from Chang'an." Su Shi said with a smile.
"So I'm telling you, if you want to play, just follow Lao San. I heard that Sanlang asked people to build a Qin Wangzhuang over there in Xianglin City. It seems that there is another one on the sea in the Western Regions. The Royal Private Island of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the island is very beautiful. The beaches are all white, and the wooden houses and the like are built directly on the sea. It is said that it will be completed in another year. Saburo has never been there. Let’s go have some fun then.” Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Mrs. Wang handed Li Xiang to the maid, and there were only three people left on the beach. The three of them found lounge chairs and sat down. Mrs. Su hesitated and said, "Your Highness, aren't we going back?"
"Go back, why don't you go back." Li Chengqian smiled, how could it be possible if he didn't go back.
"Your Highness... you know what I'm talking about." Su Shi sighed.
"Actually, when I decided to come to Lingnan Road, you should have made some guesses." Li Chengqian looked at the two people and asked. Wang was more gentle and never said anything.
"Your Highness, are you not ready to be the crown prince?" Su asked the question anyway.
"Do you regret it?" Li Chengqian did not answer, but looked at her and asked.
Su Shi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, looked at Li Chengqian's handsome face, and then said softly: "Your Highness, from the moment I married you, I am yours. Your Highness and I are one. What do you do?" Your decision is naturally my decision. Although you will not be the prince, and I will not be the queen in the future, I actually have no regrets. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Li Chengqian was a little curious.
"Just two years ago, when Saburo didn't persuade His Highness, you spent all day learning how to govern the country and being with the staff all day long. And then because of Sirou, you were worried every day, and even sometimes, You will wake up in the middle of the night. During that time, Your Highness, you cannot sleep well or eat well. You are very depressed and have many thoughts all day long."
"You haven't even visited Xiang'er. At that time, Sister Wang and I were very worried all day long, afraid that something would happen to you if you continued like this." Su said softly.
When she first got married, she was just a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. How could she withstand such pressure? At that time, she didn't think about the future at all, she was just worried about Li Chengqian.
"But in the past two years, Your Highness, you have become more relaxed, and your face is always full of smiles. Not only can you play with the elephants, but you even spend a lot of time with me. Not only that, your sleep has also improved. , and also full of energy." When she said that she was full of energy, a blush ignited on Su's face.
"So, I prefer to see you now rather than you before."
Hearing this and looking at the wives and concubines beside him, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing, "I ignored you before, but I won't do it anymore. As for the rest, just let nature take its course. Since you After everyone asked, I just said, as far as I am concerned, I don’t want to be the prince anymore, because I found that I can’t keep up with the current development of the Tang Dynasty.”
"Sanlang has the qualifications to be an emperor for eternity. You can all feel the development of the Tang Dynasty in the past two years, let alone me? Even my father often feels that his energy is low and cannot keep up with Sanlang's rhythm. I will What’s worse, if the development of the Tang Dynasty lags behind due to my inability, wouldn’t I be sorry for my grandfather, my father, and Saburo’s efforts?”
"In his position, he seeks his political affairs, but when I found that even in his position, I could not pursue his political affairs, I thought it would be more appropriate to hand it over to Saburo. And after I came out this time, I felt even more like this, This world is so vast, and the scenery in this world is so beautiful, wouldn’t it be a pity in life if we couldn’t take a look at it?!” Li Chengqian laughed loudly.
