When Li Xiu and his son were talking secretly at home, Li Chengqian was not sleeping either. He had no mansion in Chang'an. Li Zhi originally wanted to pick him up and live in the palace, but Li Chengqian refused. It just so happened that Princess Pingyang's princess's house was empty, so they let their family live there temporarily. After all, not only Li Chengqian came this time, but also his wife and children also came, so the whole family could not squeeze into the inn.

The Lantern Festival just passed, and the weather was quite cold at this time, but Li Chengqian was wearing a fur and stood on a tall building in the Princess's Mansion, holding the windowsill with his hands looking at the lights of thousands of families in Chang'an City. Since he was demoted, he has dreamed of the prosperity of Chang'an City countless times. Although he came back once when his father passed away last time, he was too sad and had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery of Chang'an. This time he finally fulfilled his dream wish.

"Father!" At this moment, a young man in his twenties suddenly walked behind Li Chengqian and spoke softly.

"Jie'er, why haven't you slept yet?" Li Chengqian knew that the person who spoke was his legitimate son Li Jue. Speaking of Li Jue, he was the eldest son of him and his wife Su. When Li Jue was born, Li Shimin was still alive and he was also the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Jue attracted much attention as soon as he was born. However, when Li Jue was five years old, everything changed. His position as the crown prince was gone, and Li Jue also became the son of a commoner from the crown prince, which made Li Chengqian feel very sorry for his son.

"Father, I heard that Your Majesty asked us to go back soon, so today I took my wife and younger brothers and sisters out to visit the night market in Chang'an. Speaking of which, the nights in Chang'an are even more lively than during the day, and younger brothers and sisters are reluctant to come back." Li Jue smiled and said, "Don't look at him young, he has followed Li Chengqian and others for the years. Moreover, after Li Chengqian was demoted, everyone around him has dispersed. Now they are all relying on their sons to support him, so Li Jue and others have been trained to be very talented. Li Chengqian will discuss anything with Li Jue.

When Li Chengqian heard that his son was taking his family out for a trip, he felt a little sad. Originally, Li Jue was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, but because of his big mistakes, he lost everything when he was young, and he followed him to southern Xinjiang and suffered a lot. Even thinking about seeing the prosperity of Chang'an became a luxury.

"Dad don't think too much. Although Chang'an is good, it's too restrictive after all. In contrast, I feel that Jiaozhou and Linyi are more free. Moreover, I have already agreed to my cousin Jin to serve in his navy this year, because I think my cousin has a very right saying, that is, the future of the Tang Dynasty is on the sea!" Li Jue was extremely smart, and he could see the thoughts in his father's heart at a glance, and he immediately spoke to comfort him.

Li Jin was Li Chengqian's cousin, and when he was attacking Linyi, Li Jin and Li Ke also cooperated a lot. Li Jue's outstanding performance also made Li Jin very fond of him, so he asked him if he would like to go to the navy. After thinking about it for a while, Li Jue also felt that the navy had a bright future, so he agreed to go to the navy to experience it.

"It's good that you can think of this. It's a bit reckless to be a father this time. Although it's a good thing to take down Lin Yi, it's suspicious of others. Although Your Majesty did not doubt me about his brotherhood, I can't figure out what he thinks now, so after we go back, we have to make more plans." Li Chengqian couldn't help but show a gratified expression when he heard his son's words.

"What my father said is that although His Majesty is his father's younger brother, he is also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. From his position, he may not tolerate his father staying in Linyi. In fact, not only his father, but also his cousin Jin is also suspicious. However, his cousin is in charge of the navy, and he is much freer than us. At worst, he can lead the navy directly overseas. Moreover, there are rich overseas products, which is not worse than the Tang Dynasty. This is also one of the reasons why I want to go to the navy." Li Jue spoke again immediately.

"My son really has a long-term vision, but your cousin Jin learned all the skills from your grandpa. Speaking of which, when you were born, I also wanted to send you to your grandpa to study. Unfortunately, you were implicated and exiled as a father. Although I tried my best to teach you what I learned back then, it was not as good as your grandpa taught me after all!" Li Chengqian looked at his son's heroic appearance and couldn't help but sigh.

"Grandpa is indeed a caderic god. Just what you taught by my father is enough to let us learn for a lifetime. What's more, when I went to the navy this time, I could also learn from my cousin Jin. Maybe I could build a navy in Linyi in the future. At that time, with the vast ocean, we can go anywhere!" Li Jue said at the end, a hint of heroism flashed across his face.

"You are right. Brother Jin has been extremely smart since he was a child. Even if he doesn't work hard, he is better than me. Later, he studied military tactics with Duke Wei. Later, he studied naval tactics by himself. He is already a self-developed school. You must learn from him well in the future. Linyi is located in the southeastern peninsula, and further west is Tianzhu. The land is fertile and the locals are too weak. Wang Xuance can sweep Tianzhu with only a few thousand soldiers and horses he borrowed. It can be used as a way out!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh when he spoke at the end.

Speaking of which, Li Chengqian was very complicated at this time. He was depressed after being demoted to a commoner, but later he cheered up again and planned to use his usefulness to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he did it. Jiaozhou was in order under his governance, and the southwestern prefectures stabilized. He even suggested sending troops to conquer Linyi and opening up the territory for the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Chengqian's identity was too sensitive. He wanted to serve the Tang Dynasty, but the more achievements he made, the more suspicious he was. Now he just defeated a small Linyi, and someone had already reported that he wanted to rebel. If he did something in the future, even if Li Zhi didn't want to kill him, other people would not tolerate him anymore. Therefore, he had to make plans for his wife, children, and future.

"Don't worry, Father! My son will definitely study hard when he arrives at his cousin Jin, but you must also prepare early. It is best to build more sea boats. If something happens in the future, we can leave in time. As for the place where Tianzhu is indeed a good place. The only problem is that it is too close to the Tang Dynasty, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, there is too much land in the west of Tianzhu. The world is so big that we always have a place to stay!" Li Jue said again immediately.
