"I want to travel west in a hot air balloon, and keep going west to see if I can reach the end of the sky."
Li Zhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and Wu Zetian also looked at Wang Zheng in shock.
Li Zhi was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Does the chief steward still think that the earth beneath our feet is a sphere?"
Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Haha, whether it is true or not, we have to try it to know. If it is true, then I will go all the way west and return from the east. If it is not true, then does the earth have a boundary?
If there are borders, then there must be wonders beyond the borders. If there are no borders, then there must be miracles in this world. No matter which situation it is, the Tang Dynasty needs to understand it. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Miracle." Li Zhi's eyes were filled with desire as he muttered this word. What he needed now was a miracle. If no miracle happened, his situation would probably never change.
Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did the steward choose east and west instead of north and south?"
It's a little cold in the north, but it's not a big deal if it's just snow and wind, but in the south it's hot and it's more troublesome. Heavy rain is fine, but if there's thunder and lightning, it's fatal. "

"Your Majesty knows a lot."
Li Xian looked at Wu Yi, Li Cheng, and Liu Zheng who were standing at the door of the teacher and looking at him with a smile on their faces, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Sorry to bother you, three senior brothers."
Li Zhi said this, looked at Wang Zheng, sighed and continued: "But this is just the known territory. If we go west, what will happen in the end is completely unknown.
Wu Yi smiled and said, "It's a good time to get rid of the worldly vanity and concentrate on studying. Life is not just about power, but also about the sea and the stars."
Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "The harvest is really up to fate. After all, we are going to an unknown place. The chief steward has always been cautious. Since he can say that there is a 70% chance of self-protection, then it is basically safe.
Wu Yi waited until Fang put little Guangshun down before he picked him up and said with a smile, "Guangshun still remembers Master Uncle?"
Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "I do have such a plan. As the son and grandson of the emperor, he should be given enough space to flourish. The world is so big, and it is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty to expand as much as possible.
Li Xian nodded, bowed again and said, "I am grateful for your guidance. I hope you three brothers will give me more guidance in the future."
In comparison, if we start from Chang'an and head west, it is indeed much more stable."
Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "Of course. After all, we are going to an unknown place. I am a little overwhelmed. I will naturally try to make as much preparation as possible. There is no rush."
After Wang Zheng left the small forbidden garden, he nodded to Li Xian who was waiting for him and said with a smile: "Come home with me and live for a while."
Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, then took Li Xian into the carriage.
Wu Yi and the other two responded at the same time: "We dare not, we are just learning from each other."
Wu Zetian's timely flattery made Li Zhi very happy, and he said proudly: "After all, I have been to the South China Sea. The weather there is really unpredictable. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning can come at any time without any warning.
Li Zhi nodded and agreed: "Compared to north and south, east and west are indeed more stable. After all, we are riding a hot air balloon and will be affected by the weather. The north and south are extremely cold and extremely hot respectively.
What's more, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning over there are very terrible. I remember that when we were sailing back, we encountered a strong wind. That wind was strong enough to blow hundreds of kilograms of fish into the sky.
Wu Zetian smiled and asked Wang Zheng, "The chief steward is talking about traveling to the west at this time. Could it be that he wants to take Xian'er with him?"
"Hahaha."
Fang came forward holding little Guangshun and said, "Fang greets the three senior brothers."
Let me put it this way, I just want to know, how confident are you that the chief steward can make the journey to the west, and how confident are you that he can return safely?"
Liu Zheng looked at Li Xian and said with some empathy: "The prosperity of worldly affairs is actually some superficial things. Family and knowledge are more real. Only when you have profound knowledge can you see the world more clearly. Then you will find that many things are not that important."
Little Guangshun was also very sensible and called out, "Guangshun greets the master uncle and the two uncles."
I naturally support the Grand Steward's wish to travel west. Given his character, he is certainly not doing this for personal gain. However, the Grand Steward is extremely important to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xian didn't know what had happened, but since Wang Zheng asked him to go to the Grand Steward's Mansion, it was naturally a good thing. After all, staying in Chang'an was definitely much better than going to Yuzhou.
Wang Zheng bowed to Li Zhi and continued, "There are unexpected events in the world. I dare not say that I am absolutely sure. If it is just to ensure my own safety, I can still be more than 70% sure. As for the harvest of this trip, it depends on God's will."
The population is growing exponentially. The Tang Dynasty now has an abundance of food, and the birth rate has been increasing in recent years. Although there are several large border areas that can accommodate the population, we should still make plans early.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Li Zhi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, since the chief steward thinks this is okay, let Xian'er go with us on the journey to the west."
Even if his son made a mistake, he is still his own son. He will be able to inherit his legacy a hundred years later. Instead of letting others expand the territory and occupy foreign lands, it is better to let his son take advantage of it.
Li Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Follow the teacher carefully and learn from him in the future. You will discover a different world and experience a different prosperity."
After returning to the Grand Steward's Mansion, Wang Zheng got off the car, patted Wu Yi on the shoulder, and said, "You two should get close to Li Xian. I will go help your mistress."
How about this, the steward goes to prepare first, and let me think about the details carefully. After all, the steward's journey to the west is too big, and I am a little bit at a loss for the moment. "
After all, there are so many little kids in the Tang Dynasty now, we have to guide them where to go in the future, right? "
"I dare not, Princess, you are well." The three of them returned the greeting.
“Because it’s stable.”
"Thank you, sir."
"Yeah," Xiao Guangshun nodded and said, "Guangshun remembers people very well, especially those who are good to Guangshun. Guangshun will remember them firmly in his heart."
"Hahaha." Several people laughed.
Wu Yi nodded and said, "Guangshun is really amazing. He has such a good memory. He is a good candidate for academic study. He will definitely have a great future."
Xiao Guangshun nodded vigorously and said seriously, "I want to be as knowledgeable as my master in the future."
"That's not easy. Guangshun wants to be that powerful. Now he has to work hard."
