A few days passed quickly, and Li Xiang's people had almost packed up. According to the route he had explored before, Li Xiang planned to set out from the capital of Fuso, then go south all the way to Hangzhou to disembark, and then rest for a while in the local area before continuing to move south.
Originally, there was no one who opened up the sea route. Li Xiang can be said to be the first person to open up the sea route. Of course, the most important people were the soldiers of the navy. They only relied on the compass and the general direction given by Li Xiang to figure out all the sea routes near the Tang Dynasty. At present, the operation is still very efficient.
In addition, Li Xiang also spent a huge amount of money to repair Dengzhou Port, so that grain from the south can be transported to the north by sea. There is no need to spend huge amounts of money to build a canal, only need to maintain it well every year.
After everyone was ready, the officials of Fuso also came to the port to see him off. This time Li Xiang was leaving Fuso and might not come back for a long time, so they wanted to show their faces first, otherwise they might not remember who you are when you come back next time, wouldn't that be the end?
Princess Aiko boarded the ship with the other female relatives. Prince Beigong Bai felt relieved when he saw his daughter on board.
Although Princess Aiko was already Li Xiang's woman, Li Xiang had formulated a series of policies to restrict the Fuso people. Prince Beigong Bai was afraid that his daughter would be among them, so he was worried that Li Xiang would not take his daughter away.
Even if a prince liked a woman, how long could he like her? He would probably forget her very quickly. After all, there were so many new and beautiful women, and being able to serve others was not a very good advantage.
So I must leave with Li Xiang. If I don’t leave with Li Xiang, I will probably be alone on Fuso Island in the future.
As long as his daughter leaves with Li Xiang, even though Prince Beigong Bai has no position now and has even become a commoner, he can still live a very comfortable life. Look at those Fusang ministers appointed by Li Xiang, who of them dares to confront us?
When the people around saw Princess Aiko boarding the boat, they all looked at each other. This old man has been tricked by him again, but who can blame us for not having such a daughter? If we had one, how could it be his turn?
Because of various crimes, the Fuso royal family has been completely abolished, and now all the people are commoners.
Therefore, Prince Beigong Bai also had to find a way to live a good life. Apart from relying on his daughter, this guy could not think of any other way.
Although many people looked down on Prince Beigong Bai's actions before, it is undeniable that he is living a very comfortable life now. The palace in the capital was returned to him, and he was also given a lot of land outside the city. It is said that there are more fields than Lord Suzuki's family has.
Pillow talk has such power. Although you have done things for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is no result so far. At most, he can just encourage you with a few words. But it is different for Prince Beigong Bai. He really sent his daughter over. Shouldn't there be some benefits?
Princess Aiko's face was also covered with tears. After all, she was still a girl and had never left Fuso. She was naturally afraid of the distant sea.
Prince Beigong Bai, on the other hand, did not shed tears. He was extremely happy at the moment. This was clearly something worth celebrating, so why should he cry?
For Prince Beigong Bai, sacrificing a daughter didn't matter, as long as he could make the rest of his life better, even if it meant losing another daughter. So many people begged his daughter to save him, but fortunately he didn't agree. If they had agreed, who would he rely on for the rest of his life?
The surrounding Fuso officials originally looked down on Prince Beigong Bai, but at this moment they were all envious.
"Fire the cannon."
At a command from General Ding Kui, 36 cannons on the shore fired in turn. Many officials of Fuso had never seen the artillery of the Tang Dynasty. After all, only those who fought on the battlefield had seen it.
After seeing the Tang Dynasty's artillery, these people were so shocked that they were speechless. No wonder so many warlords with troops from all over the country surrendered to the Tang Dynasty obediently. The main reason was that their artillery was too powerful. If you were not convinced, just pull a few artillery pieces over and you would lose your life here.
Dozens of warships began to hoist their sails and then slowly sailed away from Fuso. They were soon out of sight, but no one present thought of leaving. If anyone left first, they would most likely be remembered by others.
"The wind is strong on the boat, and this is your first time out at sea, so you should go inside and rest for a while."
Li Xiang came to Princess Aiko's side. Although the person in front of him was a Fuso, he had served her for a long time. If he left Princess Aiko in Fuso this time, it might be a human tragedy.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Princess Aiko hurriedly wiped away her tears, determined not to let His Highness see this.
"I've considered your situation. You might not be able to have children. I can't be the first to violate the laws I've established. However, if there's an opportunity in the future, I'll let you adopt a child."
Hearing Li Xiang's words, Princess Aiko nodded excitedly.
Li Xiang has not yet given birth to his first child, but being in this position, Li Xiang is absolutely sure that he will have a lot of children. If he meets a naughty mother, she will be reluctant to deprive him of the right to raise children. Princess Aiko's personality is very suitable for raising children for him.
This is not only to give Princess Aizi something to look forward to in the future, but most importantly, it is to give Princess Aizi something to do. If a woman stays in the deep palace all day long with nothing to do, she will grow old quickly. Li Xiang does not want to see this flower wither so quickly.
They were not as lucky when they left as when they came. When they came, there was not a cloud in the sky. But when they left, as soon as they left the coast of Fuso, a strong wind blew on the sea. However, this was commonplace for the officers and soldiers of the navy.
In addition, the navy warships were very sturdy, and apart from a slight shake, it was unlikely that anything serious would happen. Li Xiang also stayed in the cabin with his eyes closed to rest, but he could no longer read at the moment.
"Someone fell into the water..."
Hearing this voice, Li Xiang was also startled...
