Chapter 379 Looks exactly like the young master when he was a child
Dali Temple.
A figure walked out slowly.
Li Nuo stood at the gate of Dali Temple, looking up at the clear blue sky, his expression still a little dazed.
He studied Confucianism, but he did not follow the path of cultivating the mind. He was an almost complete practitioner.
But for Confucianists, cultivating the mind is more important. Even for practical people, one cannot not cultivate the mind at all.
In recent years, he has been avoiding his father's questions.
First of all, this was beyond his ability.
Secondly, as some people in Chang'an said, anyone who knows what he has done over the years will not simply think that he is just a treacherous minister with great power.
Li Nuo's path to where he is today was paved step by step by him.
However, although he believed in his father, he still lacked a real answer in his heart.
He could have avoided the question before.
But as my cultivation becomes deeper and deeper, there are some things that can no longer be avoided.
The words spoken by the official in Qianshan County who had been beheaded by the imperial sword before his death were what he would eventually have to face.
The Imperial Sword has killed countless treacherous ministers, but he avoids talking about the biggest traitor who unjustly killed a great Confucian scholar. If he doesn't solve this problem, he will never reach the fifth level of Confucianism.
But in the future, this problem will no longer exist.
Because he already has the answer.
Prince Chun's Mansion.
When I saw Li Yun again, he was completely buried in the mountain of drawings.
Hearing the sound coming from the door, a head popped out from the pile of drawings. Li Yun looked up and saw Li Nuo. He pushed the drawings aside and asked happily, "When did you come back?"
Li Nuo said: "Today."
Not long after, Li Yun looked at a few new blueprints, touched his chin, and said, "This thing is easy to build, but difficult to control. With the current means, it can only be controlled by a high-level Mohist master, and the control time is very short..."
Li Nuo himself is a high-level Mohist. Besides him, there is also Li Yun.
Li Nuo said: "You don't have anything to do in Daxia anyway, why don't we go to Zhao together this time and communicate with the Mohists in Zhao. Maybe we can come up with some new ideas..."
Li Yun heard this without thinking much and nodded, "Okay..."
The Mohist schools in different countries each have their own strengths, especially in creating mechanical men, each has its own unique skills. It just so happens that his cultivation has reached a bottleneck, so it would be good for him to broaden his horizons.
In the next few days, Li Nuo did nothing but stayed at home to accompany his beloved An Ning and the children.
He hadn't been able to spend much time with them since they became pregnant.
After sending them to Zhao State this time, he still had to continue patrolling the local area, and he could only spend a few days with them.
Once one of his family’s cultivation reaches the sixth level, he can take a good rest.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Legalists should be the first to break through.
However, Confucianism has various ways of practicing and its level of cultivation improves very quickly, so it may not necessarily enter the realm earlier than Legalism.
If both Confucianism and Legalism can advance to the sixth realm, then apart from the emperors of various countries, no force should be able to threaten them.
Confucianism and Legalism have the fastest speed. Even if they are besieged by several sixth-level masters, they can still retreat unscathed...
In Ningxin Garden, Li Nuo held Fenghuang's hand and asked, "Are you not going to Zhao with us?"
Fenghuang snuggled in his arms and said, "I won't go. If I leave, what will happen to Yuyin Pavilion and the family business? Many shops have just started to be built and need someone to look after them..."
Li Nuo hugged her tightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The hardest working person in the Li family is none other than Fenghuang.
Although she doesn't run around like Li Nuo, she has more things to deal with. When Li Nuo is not at home, she is responsible for everything in the house.
Phoenix held his fingers tightly, looked up at him, and said, "Promise me one thing, okay?"
Li Nuo lowered his head and asked, "What?"
Phoenix looked into his eyes and said, "No matter what happens in the future, you must remember that I love you. For you, I can do anything..."
Fenghuang was unexpectedly sentimental today. Li Nuo asked with a smile, "Is this what you want to talk about?"
Fenghuang twisted her body in his arms and said, "Promise me!"
Li Nuo nodded and said, "Okay..."
Phoenix stretched out his finger and said, "Pink!"
…
Zhao State.
The Imperial Palace.
In the imperial study, Zhao Zhiyi slowly put down the memorial in his hand.
This memorial was sent by the envoys of Zhao State in Daxia. Every month, she would ask those envoys to send back a memorial.
She knew that after he returned to Chang'an, he was highly valued by the court of Daxia and helped the people of Daxia do many good things. A few months ago, he left Chang'an as an inspector, redressed grievances for the local people, and executed many corrupt officials...
This made her feel a little worried.
If he did this, he would definitely offend a lot of people. If he angered the noble families, they would use some sinister means against him...
She also knew that his three children had been born safely, and she even knew the names of the three children.
Not long ago, the envoy mentioned in his memorial that the Emperor of Daxia asked his father to kill a great scholar of the fifth realm. He studied both Confucianism and Legalism. On the one hand, it was for justice, and on the other hand, it was for his closest relative. He must have felt bad...
She sighed softly. He had been gone for almost a year. She didn't know when she would see him again...
As if she sensed something, she suddenly turned her head and looked somewhere.
The next moment, her body disappeared from the spot and appeared outside the hall.
Not far away in the sky, a giant bird slowly descended and landed in the capital.
There is the location of Prince Zhao’s palace.
On this day, many people in the capital of Zhao State saw a strange big bird from the sky landing on Prince Zhao's palace.
"What kind of bird is this and why is it so big?"
"That can't be a real bird. It looks like a mechanical bird. But how can there be such a big mechanical bird? It's as big as a house!"
"How did it fly when its wings didn't move?"
"That bird has landed in Prince Zhao's mansion. Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao has returned?"
…
Prince Zhao's Palace.
A giant bird landed on the open space behind the palace. The bird's head slowly opened. Li Yun climbed out of the cockpit and lay on the grass, not wanting to move at all.
He finally understood why Li Nuo wanted him to come to Zhao State.
This huge mechanical bird is very heavy in itself, and it has to carry so many people. Only a person at the fifth level of the Mohist school can control it to fly.
Although he has not yet figured out what the mechanical principles Li Nuo mentioned are, this mechanical bird is indeed magical. Normally, although he can control such a heavy mechanism, he can only hold on for a short while before his true energy is exhausted.
But he managed to fly this mechanical bird from Chang'an to the capital of Zhao State with some energy left.
What is even more surprising is that it only took two hours to travel a distance of thousands of miles.
According to Li Nuo, this is not the limit of this mechanical giant bird.
Its speed can be even faster, and it can carry more people. It doesn't even need the Mohist to control it. An ordinary person can control this giant bird and fly thousands of miles in a very short time.
With a slight sound, a gap appeared in the belly of the giant bird.
A row of stairs extends down from the gap.
Su Qing, holding Li Yan, was the first to step out of the stairs.
She looked back at the giant mechanical bird, and was amazed. Her understanding of the Mohist school deepened.
Crossing thousands of miles in two hours, even the master cannot do it. The fact that the Mohist School can become one of the many schools shows that it has its strengths.
Jia Ren held Li Nian and An Ning held Li Zhi, and they walked down. An Ning was still a little unconvinced, so she looked around and asked, "Are we in the capital of Zhao?"
The noise coming from the backyard had already alarmed the servants in Prince Zhao's mansion.
Although His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is not here, the palace has always been managed by servants.
Seeing the figures walking out of the "big bird" side by side, several maids and servants who hurried over immediately knelt down and saluted, shouting loudly: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, and Princess Zhaorong!"
Li Anning glanced at Song Yiren.
This was the first time someone called her a princess in front of her.
It seems that they have really arrived in Zhao State.
Yiren straightened her chest, glanced at An Ning proudly, waved to the maids and servants, and said, "No need to be polite..."
Behind Li Nuoyi, Mur Ning'er poked her head out curiously.
Butler Wu and the grandfather and grandson of the Dongfang family also walked out.
This time, except for Fenghuang and her father who stayed in Chang'an, the entire Li family went out. Li Nuo even brought housekeeper Wu with him. With more familiar people, they can live more comfortably here.
After a fluctuation in the void, a figure appeared out of thin air.
"Knowing the meaning!"
Yiren showed joy on her face and rushed over quickly.
Zhao Zhiyi hugged her gently and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Yiren..."
Then, she looked at Li Nuo again and said, "Welcome back."
…
Prince Zhao's Palace.
Li Nuo pointed at Zhao Zhiyi and introduced her to Yiren and An Ning, "This is Her Majesty the Queen, you have seen her before."
Song Jiaren and Li Anning had seen her before, but at that time, she was still an envoy of the State of Zhao. They never thought that more than a year later, she would become one of the most distinguished people on this continent.
"Greetings, Her Majesty."
Zhao Zhiyi held the hands of the two women and said, "No need to be polite. Yiren's sisters are my sisters. If you are willing, we can call each other sisters like Yiren did."
Song Yiren held Zhao Zhiyi's hand, and her little vanity was greatly satisfied.
Zhao Zhiyi looked at them and said, "I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight to welcome you."
Li Nuo did not refuse. He would be returning to Daxia soon, and they would have to live in Zhao for a while. It was a good opportunity for them to get familiar with the empress.
His Royal Highness Prince Zhao returned, and the capital was in an uproar.
Your Majesty is hosting a banquet in the palace tonight to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Zhao. Many officials in the court who have friendship with Prince Zhao have received invitations.
At the banquet.
Li Yun was having a heated conversation with officials from Zhao State's Ministry of Works.
"Your Highness, what's going on with that giant mechanical bird?"
"Well, that's not called a giant mechanical bird, it's called an 'airplane'. We flew here from Chang'an on it."
"An airplane... How can it fly if its wings can't flap?"
"You don't understand this. Even if the wings can't flap, it doesn't necessarily mean that the plane can't fly. You don't know fluid mechanics, right? When the lift is greater than the gravity... What? What is gravity?"
"This is a long story..."
At the front of the hall, Dongfang Qing was feasting on a table full of food. Dongfang Xuan looked at the State Master of Zhao beside him and said mysteriously, "Old man, do you know that the legendary calligraphers actually exist? They can change the fate of others with just a pen..."
At another table, Li Nuo was busy all night.
He was not very familiar with the court officials of Daxia, but he was very familiar with the officials of Zhao.
Throughout the entire evening, he was dragged along by everyone to reminisce about the past.
When he returned to his seat and saw that the beautiful lady An Ning was having a pleasant conversation with Her Majesty the Queen, he was completely relieved.
When the queen was free, Li Nuo walked up to Zhao Zhiyi and asked, "Have you been okay this year?"
Zhao Zhiyi glanced at him and said, "It's not that bad. It's just endless memorials to read and endless court meetings to attend. It would be even better if you could stay by my side and help me..."
Li Nuo smiled and said, "Being an emperor is like this. The livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people are in your hands alone. Naturally, it is impossible to be as relaxed as before..."
Zhao Zhiyi looked at him and said, "At that time, I didn't know that after you took the throne, you would not care about anything..."
Li Nuo could hear the resentment in her words and could only say, "I will stay in Zhao for a while longer this time."
Zhao Zhiyi's eyebrows moved and he asked, "How long?"
Li Nuo said: "About a month."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhao Zhiyi's eyes, and Li Nuo added: "However, Yiren and the others will be staying in Zhao for a long time. I'll trouble you to take care of them in the next few days..."
Zhao Zhiyi's heart moved slightly.
His family is all in Zhao State, so there is no need to worry about him not coming back.
She nodded and said, "I will take good care of them."
Li Nuo added: "By the way, my wedding with Yiren..."
Song Yiren moved over quietly and listened attentively.
Zhao Zhiyi said: "Don't worry, the Ministry of Rites has already arranged everything for you. It can be held at any time. It will definitely be a grand event for you, unparalleled in the world..."
Song Yiren held Zhao Zhiyi's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and said, "Zhiyi, you are so nice!"
The two were reminiscing about the past when a palace maid hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the little prince woke up and cried to find you..."
Yiren looked at the child in the maid's arms and said with a smile: "Whose child is this? So cute..."
The child looked less than one year old, about the same age as Li Yan and Li Nian. He was delicate and had a pair of very beautiful eyes. Song Yiren felt friendly when she saw him for the first time. The child's eyebrows and eyes always gave her a very familiar feeling.
Zhao Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "He is the child of Prince Sheng. I felt sorry for him, so I adopted him."
Song Yiren took the child from the palace maid, shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that Prince Sheng could give birth to such a cute child..."
The child was not afraid of strangers. When being held in the arms of a stranger, he just stared at her with his big eyes.
Yiren gently poked his chubby little face and said, "I'll take him over to play with Li Yan and the others. Children definitely like to play with other children."
Zhao Zhiyi nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Watching Yiren leave, Li Nuo looked back and always had a strange feeling in his heart.
Yiren carried the child to a certain place in the palace, and An Ning asked curiously, "Whose child is this?"
Yiren said, "He is from the royal family of Zhao State. I brought him here to play with Li Yan and the others."
Su Qing held Li Yan in her arms and walked to Yiren's side. She glanced at the child in her arms and said in surprise, "This child looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..."
She looked at the child a few more times and was very sure and certain that she had seen this child before.
But that must have been a long, long time ago.
The problem is that it is impossible for her to have seen this baby who looks like he is less than one year old a long, long time ago.
At this time, Butler Wu came over and saw the baby in Yiren's arms. He paused and asked in surprise, "Whose child is this? How come he looks exactly like the young master when he was a child..."
