One day later.
A large group of people passed through Mingde Gate and entered Chang 'an Fortress.
In the middle of the group, in a carriage, Li Shimin looked at Chu Han and said,""Chu Han, you can get off here. I still have to bring these sweet potatoes into the palace to report to His Majesty!”
Chu Han nodded and got off the carriage with Chang Le, Li Xiu Ning, and the children.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Chu Han saw a bustling ancient capital.
The scene was very familiar, but also very unfamiliar.
In his previous life, the appearance of Chang 'an City had been depicted many times in countless ancient dramas, but there was still a big gap between it and the real Chang' an City in front of him.
At first, Chu Han was very confident that the Chu village that he had built for three years was definitely the best planned town in the world. Even Chang 'an City was not inferior to it.
However, after seeing Chang 'an Fortress, Chu Han was still amazed. He had underestimated the diligence and wisdom of the ancient people.
As the capital, Chang 'an City indeed had its own unique heritage!
However, they had just arrived in Chang 'an and it was not the time to play yet. Changle held Chu Han's arm and said,""Husband, shall we go and settle down first?”
"Alright, let me take a look at the mansion of a rich lady in the capital!”Chu Han said as he scratched Chang Le's nose.
"Humph ~"
Changle shrugged his nose and snorted. He raised his fair neck and said with a tsundere face,""You'll definitely be shocked when the time comes!"
"Haha! Then I'll wait and see!" Chu Han laughed.
On the way here, Chu Han also learned the true identity of Li Yanran and Li Ruonan.
His father-in-law's brother-in-law was Li Kuo, a second-grade official in the current dynasty. His mother-in-law, Guan Cangyue, was the eldest daughter of the Guan family in the capital.
The Guan family was a big aristocratic family in the capital. Not only did they have a lot of influence in the imperial court, but they were also a big merchant in the business world.
On the day Yanran was born, the Guan family bought a mansion for Chang Le in the capital.
Compared to Yanran, Li Ruonan's identity was very simple. She was the youngest sister of the Li family, an ordinary martial arts girl.
Although Li Kuo's surname was Li, his status was much different from the Tang Dynasty's royal family's Li family.
However, to Chu Han, these were insignificant. If he wanted to, with the help of the system, it would not be a problem for him to become the emperor.
However, compared to being an emperor, it was more interesting to be a hermit expert. After all, being an emperor might exhaust him to death on the table.
"Hmm?"
Just as Chu Han was wandering in space, everyone arrived at a mansion. It was a huge mansion, even bigger than Chu Han's manor!
Chu Han's eyes widened. He said in surprise,""Yanran, is this your mansion?"
"Yeah, isn't it amazing?" Changle said proudly.”
"Impressive!"
Chu Han praised. If Yanran was in the modern world, she would probably be a top-notch beauty.
Chang Le heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Han didn't suspect anything.
This was not an ordinary mansion. It was the mansion of her father when he was the king of Qin. Fortunately, Chu Han did not think too much about it. Otherwise, he might have guessed her father's identity.
...
"Did that kid suspect anything?" Li Shi Min returned to the palace and asked the scout.
The scout shook his head." Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Consort Chu has gone to rest after arriving at the Qin Residence."”
Li Shi Min heaved a sigh of relief and asked,"How's the sweet potato planting going?"
The scout replied," Currently, all the sweet potatoes have been planted near Chang 'an. A new batch of sweet potatoes is being unloaded. They will be promoted to the world immediately!"”
Li Shi Min nodded and pondered for a moment,"Remember, you must strictly inspect the farmers. If there is any phenomenon of them leaving the farm, kill them without mercy!”
"Yes, sir!"
The scout nodded and left the palace.
The news of Li Shiming's return to the palace slowly spread.
The first to receive the news was the Western Turkic envoy, Chahar, who was staying in Four Quarters Embassy. He had immediately rushed to the Yin and Yang Palace.
"Report! Your Majesty! The Western Turkic envoy has come to visit!" The guard shouted.
Li Shimin, who was dealing with the stack of memorials, heard this and said with some doubt,"Announce!"
Chahar walked into the Yin Yang Hall. When he saw Li Shi Min, he immediately bowed and said,"Chahar greets the Tang Emperor!"
"Yes ~"
Li Shi Min replied casually,"What do you mean?"
"I wonder what the Tang Emperor has thought about this?" Chahar immediately asked."Should we join forces with our Western Turkic Jie Khagan to attack the Eastern Turks?"”
Li Shimin was stunned. He hadn't expected the Western Turks to be so persistent. He had thought that this was just a test, but it seemed that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Chahar saw that Li Shi Min was silent and quickly said,"Tang Emperor! Jie Li Khagan promised that as long as the Great Tang provided assistance, even in terms of resources, if the Western Turks won, they would never invade the Great Tang's century-old alliance!”
Li Shi Min's heart skipped a beat as he said,"You can leave first. Zhen wants to discuss this matter with the officials before coming to a conclusion!”
"Alright, please consider it carefully, Tang Emperor!”After Chahar finished speaking, he left the Yin Yang Hall.
Li Shi Min looked at Chahar's departing figure in shock.
They had planned to develop the Great Tang steadily, defeat the Turks in one fell swoop, and then carry out Chu Han's third and fourth steps, enslaving the Turks for eternity.
This was the safest method!
But now, the Western Turkic alliance was too strong, too similar to the first step Chu Han had mentioned.
For a moment, Li Shiming was a little conflicted. Now, there was only the second step of heavy snow.
Perhaps in less than two years, after this winter, the Great Tang would completely conquer the Turks!
Thinking of this, Li Shi Min felt his ambition burning. He immediately said,""Men, Imperial Preceptor Xuan, Yuan Tiangang, enter the palace! I have something to discuss with him!"
Li Shiming's eyes flashed. Since Chu Han said that it was to observe the stars, then I will find someone who knows how to observe the stars!
At the same time, in the Crown Prince's Palace in the Eastern Palace.
"Are you sure? That Fuma is here?" Li Chengqian shouted excitedly at the guard.
The guard nodded and said,"Your Highness, the Fuma is in Prince Qin's residence!"”
When Li Chengqian heard this, a trace of gloominess flashed across his eyes. That damned Prince Consort, he snatched away this prince's favorite sister and aunt, and now he's even occupying Imperial Father's Qin Imperial Residence!
These, these should have been his!
He immediately laughed sinisterly and said,"Bring some men and follow BenGong to meet this Prince Consort!"”
