Chapter 667

The father and son chatted in the garden and talked about many topics. During this period, the two former kings and queens, ajert and Christina, were asking Jiangning all kinds of questions. He asked him where he had been, how he had been, and why he had not come to see them. However, more questions were asked about their mother, Elizabeth.

"Mother, how long will it take for her to come back to life?" Christina is more and more charming now. She nibbles her lips and looks at the palace lantern on the table without blinking. It seems that after hearing her voice, the palace lamp suddenly flickered like a breath of jade.

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait." Looking at the gorgeous palace lantern, Jiangning hesitated for a while, then said.

"How long will it take?"

Jiangning shook his head, "I don't know." He looked at his two children's expression of loss, "your mother is not an ordinary birth, because you two hurt her greatly. Fortunately, I was still very" weak "at that time. If I were strong, I'm afraid Elizabeth would never have a chance to revive."

"Why is that?"

"It's the rules of the universe." "The more powerful a life is, the less likely it is to have offspring," he said. At that time, I was stronger than Elizabeth. So the rule works for me as well. Even when she was pregnant with you two, I made a lot of magic potions for her to supplement the source of life, but it was a miscalculation. What she lost was the source, not the potion. Although a large number of potions have added some vitality to her life, so that she can live a few more years, but.... "

"It's because of the two of us..." Christina looks very remorseful. She looks at the palace lantern on the table dejectedly. Want to pick up the lamp, but afraid to hurt the soul sleeping in the lamp.

Ajert didn't know how to comfort his sister. Ever since they abdicated, they have been living in seclusion in the backyard of the imperial palace as the patron saint of the country. Unlike him, Christina has always been clean and pure. Her vision is very high, whether it is a foreign monarch, aristocracy or the excellent children of the country, can not enter her eyes. As time goes by, he will remain single. Ajert, on the other hand, got married and gave birth to children early after he became an adult. After the children came of age, the sister and brother formally abdicated, and with their help, the new king took over the power of the country smoothly.

Because the king and the queen co rule period, defeated the two countries, established the hegemony of the Mediterranean. After the succession of the new king, the domestic political situation was stable, and so was the external environment. After the new king succeeded to the throne, he went further on the basis of the double king era. With his support and policies, Tang society finally ushered in a boom period of blowout. After more than a hundred years of recuperation, the accumulated potential broke out at one fell swoop, and the territory of the Tang people ushered in comprehensive prosperity. With the vigorous development of all walks of life, farmers and herdsmen have no worries about farming and grazing, and the grain yield has been rising year by year, resulting in the granary piled up all over the country. Every household also built grain storage rooms, put the new grain into the grain storage room every year, and take out the old grain and sell it abroad.

The people of Tang Dynasty, who had too much food to eat and didn't know what to do with it, raised all kinds of livestock with food and even made wine. When the people of our country see more, they will not be surprised. However, foreign businessmen and even envoys were envious of Tang people's wealth. In addition, the Mediterranean trade around the state of Tang led many people and countries to be envious of the sea trade, which can be called a profiteering industry. The pirate industry, once depressed and even extinct, has revived and prospered again.

Many countries are secretly providing shelter for pirates. The Mediterranean Sea, especially near Asia, is a natural hiding place for pirates. Pirates from all over the world gathered here. They brazenly robbed all kinds of merchant ships on the Dizhong sea, and then sold them to various places to earn huge profits. At the same time, they wantonly built seagoing ships, recruited troops, and expanded their strength. Although the navy of the Tang Dynasty carried out many encirclement and suppression, it failed to wipe out all the pirates. In addition, due to the support of various countries. As a result, some businessmen in remote areas did not dare to go out to sea for trade alone. Only by uniting many maritime merchants to form a huge caravan did they dare to go out to sea for trade.

And near the land of the Tang Dynasty, the merchants there were very at ease. Several fleets of the Tang Dynasty patrol every day to protect the smooth passage of the sea. The pirates, however, did not have the courage to engage in public activities in the waters of the Tang people. However, the Tang people can only look after part of the sea, and they can't look after the farther sea.

Although it is known that these pirates are supported by many countries, it is difficult for the Tang people to exert pressure on them without definite evidence. On the contrary, because of the repeated encirclement and suppression, the pirate forces not only did not decline, but became more and more prosperous.

"Father, will you go when you come back this time?" After ajert finished, Christina, who was a little depressed, also looked at Jiangning with expectation in her eyes.

Jiangning nodded and shook his head, he said: "go is to go, but I come back this time, but also to take you back."

After hearing this, they were very happy, then frowned and said, "what about the country and people? What do they do? Does it mean that everything here has to be given up when we leave? "

Jiangning shook his head. "It's not like that. You'll understand after a while."

In the days that followed, LV Duan, envoy to the Tang Dynasty, was undoubtedly very happy after purchasing war horses. Every day, he worked hard to learn the language and writing of the Tang people, and then, under the guidance of his entourage and the translation sent by the Tang people, he traveled all over the territory of the Tang Dynasty, wrote down everything he had experienced personally in his "synopsis of traveling to the Tang Dynasty", and hired an entourage of Tang painters to paint all over the country. He wanted to complete his synopsis of traveling to the Tang Dynasty with pictures and text.

This is also influenced by the people of the Tang Dynasty, because he found that many of the books of the Tang Dynasty were compiled in the form of pictures and texts. With pictures and words, it is clearer and more interesting than simple words. Because of this reason, Lu Duan began to revise his book about visiting the Tang Dynasty, and hired the most famous painters in the Tang kingdom to accompany him. He drew the land style of the Tang people, the port city and the ships with many masts, as well as the clothes and residences of the merchants and the people of the Tang Dynasty. He painted the pastures where countless livestock were kept, the growing farmland, the exquisite and tall houses and so on.

In his works, he not only recorded the prosperity of the Tang people's territory, but also recorded in detail all aspects of the Tang society, including the political system of the Tang people. Of course, it is hard to avoid criticizing the Tang people to put an end to the study of sages and to specialize in the study of interests and cunning skills, which makes LV Duan very dissatisfied.

After Lu Duan had finished his outline of his visit to the Tang Dynasty, he met the king of the Tang Dynasty and said goodbye.

The emperor and his ministers of the Tang Dynasty blessed him and decided to send a naval fleet to escort him. Naturally, LV Duan was very grateful for this. Later, the envoys of Tang Dynasty began to set foot on the road of returning home.
