Chapter 247 Let Lao Li toast! (ask for monthly ticket)
Li Xiang was the first to come to his senses. He raised his head in surprise and slowly gave Li Yin a thumbs up.

Damn it, if anyone dares to say that my sixth uncle is stupid again, I will be the first one to have a fight with him!

With this IQ, if it were weighed, it would be one cent more than my dad's.

Li Yin was the second one to react. He jumped back quickly, pointed at the felt on the ground and said repeatedly: "Who... who tied the felt to me?"

"You also know that this is tied to you?" Li Shimin smiled coldly, his anger was aroused again.

"No, it's not the felt my mother gave me!" Li Yin immediately shook his hands to deny it.

After hearing what Li Yin said, Li Xiang slapped his forehead with his hand.

I just praised you for being smart, and now you act stupid, right?
However, he didn't know that everything in the Liangyi Palace was part of Concubine Yang's plan.

You thought Li Yin was at the first level, but in fact, he was at the fifth level under Concubine Yang's scheme.

I have to say, although Yang Fei's father is a simple-minded person, his daughter is very smart...

It's somewhat related to genetic mutation.

After hearing Li Yin's words, Li Shimin immediately understood.

It turns out that this felt was given to that bastard Li Yin by Concubine Yang?

Oh, I must teach this doting woman a lesson tonight!
Let her know what it means to spoil a child as if he were killed!
"Aunt, Aunt." Li Xiang stepped forward, held Li Shimin's arm, and stroked Li Shimin's back with one hand to calm him down. "Don't bother with my sixth uncle, this bastard. It's not worth it. Ah..."

"Not worth it? Look at what he did!" Li Shimin pointed at Li Yin angrily, "Look at him, leaving his fiefdom without permission. Just for this one thing, I can depose him as a prince!"

"Aunt, it's not that serious." Li Xiang advised again: "Don't be angry. If you get angry and get sick, no one will take your place..."

"Brother! You don't have to persuade him!" Li Yin rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was ready to fight his father. "After returning to my fiefdom, I petitioned him several times, wanting to return to Chang'an and then go to Dengzhou to open up sea routes, but he didn't allow it! I had no choice but to return to Chang'an! What have I done wrong!"

"The sea is so rough, this is no joke." Li Shimin snorted coldly, "Opening up a shipping route is not easy. If anything happens to you, won't your mother be sad?"

"If I die, I die. What's there to be afraid of?" Li Yin turned his head away.

"You make it sound easy. If he can't stand the hardship at sea, he will want to go back to his fiefdom." Li Shimin snorted and said, "By then, not only will his people be embarrassed, but I will also be embarrassed! You'd better stay in your fiefdom!"

"I am the son of the Heavenly Khan. How can I stay in my fiefdom doing nothing until I die?" Li Yin suddenly stiffened his neck and said, "Even if I die, I must die gloriously. A hundred years later, when people mention me, they will also say 'The King of Shu is a real man'!"

"Besides, Aye also knows that the sea is rough and people can die easily! I want to ask Aye! Why can other people's sons risk their lives to go out to sea, but Aye's son can't! Aye still pities his own son, how can he let others send their sons to the sea willingly!"

After hearing what Li Yin said, Li Shimin's anger suddenly disappeared.

Li Yin, whom he had always regarded as "worse than beasts and stone", actually had such ambition?

Although Lao Li was delighted, he remained expressionless: "Do you really think so?"

"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be considered a hero!" Li Yin held his head high and chest puffed out, looking quite heroic.

"Xiang'er, what do you think?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was still shocked by his sixth uncle's sudden outburst of courage. When he heard Li Shimin say this, he subconsciously exclaimed.

"I want to ask you what you think." Old Li knew that he was distracted and added.

Li Yin: …

You really are worthy of being my brother.

If it were anyone else, even if it was the fat fourth brother who was distracted in front of Aye, he would definitely be scolded!
"My grandson thinks Uncle Six is ​​worthy of being your son." Li Xiang gave him a thumbs up: "Well done, you didn't lose face!"

Hearing Li Xiang's praise, Li Yin's face suddenly became proud, even more proud than when he attended the victory parade.

"Since you have such ambitions, it would be my fault if I stop you again." Li Shimin nodded slightly: "But since you want to go to sea, the matter still falls on Xiang'er. You can let him be responsible for arranging the specifics."

"Thank you, Aye! Thank you, Aye!" Li Yin knelt on the ground with great joy and kowtowed three times: "Aye, I kowtow to you, Aye..."

"Go away!" Li Shimin waved his hands impatiently: "I get annoyed when I see you!"

"Okay, yeah!" Li Yin achieved his goal and was in a state of extreme satisfaction.

He took advantage of the situation and shrank himself, rolling out of the Liangyi Palace.

His movements were so smooth that Old Li was stunned.

After a long while, Lao Li finally cursed: "This bastard..."

"Then I'll leave too, Aung." Li Xiang said.

"Go ahead. You and your six...you and Li Yin can discuss the specific matters." Li Shimin sat back behind the desk.

After getting permission from Old Li, Li Xiang immediately left Liangyi Hall.

Outside, Li Yin was still waiting.

Seeing Li Xiang coming out, Li Yin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, does Aye have anything to say?"

"Nothing much to say, Uncle Six." Li Xiang looked at him and said, "If you want to go out to sea, I will build a fleet for you?"

"The fleet is all right, the fleet is all right!" Li Yin said hurriedly, and dragged Li Xiang back to Zhaode Hall: "We must get a few more ships, and my carriage must be big and impressive, and it can't be worse than Yang Guang's back then!"

Li Xiang: …

Isn't that your grandpa? Just call him Yang Guang, or your mom will punish you.

But then again, the tradition of our Tang Dynasty is filial piety, so there is nothing wrong with just calling him Yang Guang.

Li Yin obviously didn't care about this. He felt that he was already giving Yang Guang face by not calling him Lao Deng.

He asked with a smile: "Do you have any suggestions about my car?"

"Well..." Li Xiang scratched his chin. "Actually, a flagship doesn't need to be too tall. If it is too tall, it will be a bit bulky with the current technology. A flagship like the Dengzhou Navy will be enough. It will definitely look impressive when it is sailed out."

"Really?" Li Yan's face lit up with joy.

"You must have face. When you come back from the sea, you must be the first one to eat at our family dinner." Li Xiang began to deceive Li Yin: "Then even the grandfather will admire you - but here comes the question, do you have money? Building a ship requires money."

"Well, of course I have." Li Yin said with a smile: "My mother said she could give me 10,000 strings of cash, and my brother can also sponsor me 10,000 strings of cash. In short, I am not short of money."

Oh, Uncle Six, it’s okay.

Li Xiang didn't expect that Concubine Yang could save up 10,000 strings of cash after staying in the harem for such a long time.

But what he didn't know was that part of the money was a reward from Li Shimin, and the other part was occasionally given to her by Empress Xiao. Although Concubine Yang was not Empress Xiao's biological daughter, she was still her stepmother, so she naturally had to take better care of her nominal daughter.

It's mutual, everyone is like this.

"Then just do it." Li Xiang immediately decided: "Build your own flagship based on the flagship of the Dengzhou Navy, enlarge it twice, and you can still build four ships of similar size to the navy flagship, which will be enough to accommodate the guards of the Shu Palace. Add five ships of sailors, and you can still save several thousand strings of cash."

"What should we buy with the remaining money, brother?" Li Yin scratched his head and asked, "We can't just keep this money in our hands, we have to spend it."

"The remaining few thousand will be used to buy a boatload of fragrant slices..." Li Xiang said bluntly, and quickly corrected himself: "I was wrong, use the remaining money to buy some canned food and eat it on the boat. Some canned food and some fruits are better than anything else."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother." Li Yin said happily.

His mind was now filled with thoughts of going out to sea and fighting the raging waves.

As I was thinking about it, I imagined the scene of finding something delicious at sea and eating it first after returning.

Li Xiang patted Li Yin's shoulder and said to him, "Sixth Uncle, don't be anxious when you go out to sea for the first time. Safety is the most important thing. When you go out to sea next time, I will plan a route for you. When you go to that place, bring back what I told you. When you come back, you won't be the first to eat. You must let your grandfather toast you."

Don't say it, really don't say it.

When Li Yin heard that he could receive a toast from Old Li, he immediately became interested.

"Come on, what are we waiting for?" Li Yan rolled up his sleeves and said, "What are we waiting for? I must drink it for him when I go out this time, and let Aye toast me when I come back!"

"More haste, less speed." Li Xiang gave Li Yin a reassuring look: "Aren't we going to modify the speed of the ship? If we can increase the speed of the ship, your round trip will be faster than the current time."

"Really?" Li Yan's body trembled.

If the speed of going back and forth could be increased, it would be okay to wait a while.

"Really?" Li Xiang said with a smile, "Have I ever lied to you?"

"That's right." Li Yin said with a smile: "Brother is the white jade pillar that supports the sky of the Tang Dynasty and the purple gold beam that spans the sea in Guanzhong. How could you lie to me?"

Li Xiang: …

Wow, has my nickname evolved to this extent?
"This flagship must have a name. What does Sixth Uncle plan to name his car?" Li Xiang asked again.

Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I think I have to make something domineering and worthy of my name. It has to be impressive."

"Domineering?" Li Xiang laughed. No matter how domineering the name is, how domineering can it be? Your entire Optimus Prime doesn't match your ship.

"I am not very knowledgeable, so please help me choose one, brother." Li Yin turned to look at Li Xiang. He thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable one.

"I do have a plan. It's domineering enough, but you may not be willing to do it." Li Xiang said with a smile.

"How domineering is it?" Li Yan immediately became interested.

"It's the kind of domineering aura that makes people unforgettable once they hear it." Li Xiang's words were persuasive and he thought of Wang Bushi in the book "The Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty" that he had read in Lao Hu in his previous life.

"Oh? I knew that you are powerful, tell me quickly!" Li Yin said excitedly.

"How about calling him 'The Scum of the World, the King of Shu'?" Li Xiang said with a smile.

"The title of the scum of the world, the King of Shu?" Li Yin clicked his tongue for a few times. You know what, his aesthetic taste... he actually thought this name was pretty good.

"It's not impossible...how about this?" Li Yin said with a smile.

"That's settled then." Li Xiang made the final decision: "Before we set off, I'll draw a sea chart for Uncle Six, and then Uncle Six will follow that route."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, brother." Li Yin naturally had nothing to say and agreed without hesitation.

"Now that things are done here, I'll go to the harem to see my mother first." Li Yin said, "After seeing my mother, I'll come find my brother and go watch the Tang Dynasty National Games together. I heard it's quite interesting. Is it polo today?"

"Yes, today's polo is between Guanneidao and Xueyantuo." Li Xiang said with a smile.

The polo competition at the Games was run in a similar manner to the World Cup, with a total of 24 polo teams divided into six groups, and 16 winners selected to participate in the final.

Today is the showdown between Group A, Guannei Dao versus Xueyantuo, and Hedong Dao versus Henan Dao.

Polo was the most popular sport in the Tang Dynasty, even more popular than football in Europe and South America in later generations. The stadium was packed with people, and they would rather pay extra money to get a ticket.

Today's tickets were sold yesterday, and long queues had already formed as early as midnight that day.

Those who bought tickets were naturally celebrating, feeling lucky to be able to watch the game live.

Many people who failed to buy tickets beat their chests and cursed themselves for not queuing up earlier.

Unfortunately, the stadium cannot accommodate others to come in and watch the game standing, after all, the capacity of the stadium is limited.

"Then I'll go first." Li Yin waved his hand and turned to slip away to Concubine Yang's residence.

Li Xiang thought about it and decided that since there was nothing to do in Jingzhao Prefecture today, he might as well take some time off.

Then let’s go back to Wude Hall and see how my sister and aunt are doing.

When they returned to Wude Hall, Li Mingda had already left, Feng Yingying was still sleeping in the room, Xiao Yourong was sipping tea, and Pei Xueqing was doing nobody in the room.

Li Xiang tiptoed back into the hall and gently pushed open the door.

"Guess who I am?" Li Xiang put his hands over Pei Xueqing's eyes.

"Well, Xiang'er." Pei Xueqing turned her head with a smile and looked at him tenderly.

"What did you and your aunt talk about just now?" Li Xiang kept talking about something else.

After saying this, Pei Xueqing's eyebrows twitched slightly for a moment.

"Nothing, just discussing an auspicious date." Pei Xueqing smiled and replied, "My aunt said that we don't need to bother the historian. She has made some progress in her cultivation recently and can calculate an auspicious date."

"She? She's so good..." Li Xiang curled his lips and stretched out his hand to hold Pei Xueqing's slender swan neck.

"I'm sorry for what happened today." Li Xiang said gently. He turned his hand over and supported Pei Xueqing's delicate chin, gently scratching her snow-white skin with his fingertips.

After hearing Li Xiang's words, Pei Xueqing suddenly felt that all the grievances had disappeared.

She reached out and tugged at Li Xiang's sleeve, her eyes as charming as water.

Li Xiang moved closer, and Pei Xueqing leaned close to Li Xiang's ear, speaking in a soft and charming voice.

"How can I feel wronged when my brother loves me?"
