City: The Dragon King Returning from Journey to the West

Chapter 40
"Such an immortal species is indeed the fortune of the Tang Dynasty and the common people!"

After listening to Li Chengqian's description, Li Shimin's face flushed with excitement. He was gearing up and pacing back and forth in the hall.

Li Chengqian waited for him to be excited for a while, and continued: "Father, Li Yu also proposed a series of strategies for governing the country and the people..."

"Tell me and listen." Li Shimin sat down, took a big sip of water, his eyes full of anticipation.

Listening to Li Chengqian's narration, Li Shimin's face became more and more solemn, and his eyes were full of excitement.

"Immortal Seeds, Sannong, Tax Reduction and Exemption, Royal Bank, and Royal Bookstore, Commercial Distribution, Free Compulsory Education..."

"These are things that come in one line!"

"The chain is interlocking, once it is implemented, the people will have enough food and clothing, the country will be strong, and the country will last forever."

"All of these have already been realized in Li Yu's hometown."

"What kind of fairyland is that?"

Li Shimin was completely shocked.

Unbelievable.

He is very conceited, speaks widely at home, and is revered as a heavenly khan to the outside world.

However, there were still famines in the Tang Dynasty from time to time, and the people did not completely solve their food and clothing.

As for free education, I never thought about it.

Everyone reads books and knows etiquette. What a prosperous dynasty this is.

"This man is a great talent, he is suspected to be an immortal, Cheng Qian, you need to remember his words well."

"Datang is now powerful in the country, but we, father and son, have to work harder."

"I don't know where Li Yu's hometown is, but if one day the two countries communicate with each other, how will we manage ourselves?"

At this moment, Li Shimin felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

At the same time, it also aroused his competitiveness.

Li Chengqian was sweating profusely. He was just shocked and excited before, but he didn't think so much.

Li Yu can come to Datang, his hometown can still send troops.

Just think about such a rich and civilized country, the national strength must be extremely strong, how can Datang protect itself.

As a high-ranking person, only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can we be invincible.

Li Chengqian presented "The Wealth of Nations".

Li Shimin picked it up, first quickly looked through the catalog, and felt that some of the ideas in it were very novel, the words and sentences were also very straightforward, and some expressions were completely different from the writings of the Tang Dynasty.

"For such a thick book, the writing is not large, but the printing is clear, which shows that the country has excellent craftsmanship."

Night falls.

Li Shimin was immersed in the advanced ideas of "The Wealth of Nations", holding the book and wishing to finish it in one sitting.

The eunuchs lit the palace lanterns, illuminating the Tai Chi Hall as if it were daytime.

Outside the hall, guards patrolled carefully to avoid making too much noise to alert the emperor.

A black shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, condensing into a human shape.

The guard walked past the shadow, turning a blind eye to him.

Hei Ying looked up at the portrait of the door god pasted on the door of the hall, grinned coldly, and then floated into the hall without touching his feet.

The maid at the door suddenly felt a chill enter her body, and couldn't help shivering a few times.

Li Shimin also felt a bit of chill, raised his head and frowned slightly, then lowered his head to read the book.

The black shadow approached Li Shimin, and flung a rope in his hand to catch Li Shimin.

At this time, a circle of purple light emerged from Li Shimin's body.

When the black rope touched the purple light, it immediately turned into a wisp of blue smoke and dissipated.

The black shadow was startled and let out an exclamation, which caused a small wind whistling sound.

"Light of Karmic Virtue Protector, this...how can I do this?"

The black shadow talked to himself, took a few steps back, walked around Li Shimin, and quickly floated out of the hall and merged into the ground.

The black figure walked forward along a gray road, and soon entered the underworld. It showed its original shape, but it was blue-faced with fangs, wearing a black hat, and dressed in black clothes. The famous black impermanence.

Hei Wuchang went to Yan Luo Palace to pay homage to King Yama, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is protected by the light of merit and virtue all over his body, and the soul restraint will disperse when he touches it, and the minister dare not get close. What should I do?"

King Yan was taken aback, "Li Shimin has murdered a lot, and his father and son killed each other. His merits have already been exhausted, so where can he get the merits to protect his body?"

Naturally, Hei Wuchang didn't know the reason, so he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the Dragon King of Jinghe has disappeared, and the Emperor of Tang Dynasty has been late in arriving at the underworld. What should we do?"

Hades is also extremely depressed, this is everything that Bodhisattva has arranged for a long time, and now something has changed suddenly, which is very troublesome.

He didn't know which link went wrong, and he didn't dare to think too much about it, he was very anxious.

Hei Wuchang suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you burn incense and pray."

Yan Wang shook his head and said, "Think about it again!"

He didn't want to give the Bodhisattva the impression that he was ineffective.

Hei Wuchang had a plan in mind and said: "Since that's the case, why not start with the people around him?"

Yan Wang nodded and said: "That's very good, go and invite the prince."

Hei Wuchang nodded and came to the palace again.

The night is deep.

The East Palace was peaceful.

Hei Wuchang came to the prince's bedroom.

Immediately, he was stunned again.

The crown prince actually has a body protected by a strong light of merit.

"How could this be?"

Hei Wuchang was dumbfounded.

This time it was difficult to handle, so he hurried back to report to Hades.

Hearing this, Yan Wang was extremely shocked.

He gritted his teeth and said: "The prince can't do it, it's okay to invite other people to come."

So Hei Wuchang came to the palace again.

It was daylight now.

In the garden, a ten-year-old man was exercising, punching and kicking vigorously.

This person is Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Hei Wuchang floated out from the ground, took out the soul-retaining rope, locked Li Zhi's soul without saying a word, and went straight to the underworld.

"This... where is this place?" Li Zhi looked at the dark and cold environment around him, very surprised and trembling.

"Is the person here His Royal Highness King Jin?" A voice sounded.

When Li Zhi saw it, a large hall appeared in front of him, with the words "Yan Luodian" written on it, and a middle-aged man wearing a crown sat in front of the case.

"Yan Luodian, I... Am I dead? No, it's impossible, how could I die?"

Li Zhi exclaimed, full of resentment.

Upon seeing this, Yan Wang waved his hand to calm him down, and said: "His Royal Highness, don't be impatient. I invite you to come here today, just because your father killed the Jinghe Dragon King in his dream. He came to the underworld to complain and make trouble, so that we will have no peace..."

"Then you are looking for my father, why are you looking for me?" Li Zhi was angry and afraid, and said without concealing his words.

"This..." Hades was a little speechless.

If he could get Li Shimin's soul down, he wouldn't act in a curve.

Facing Li Zhi's questioning, he was very aggrieved, and said: "Of course we want to ask your father to come and argue, but the messenger didn't do his job well, and His Highness was invited here, Judge Cui, hurry up and get the book of life and death." Come."

After the double-reed play was over, Judge Cui took Li Zhi to the underworld, and Yan Wang couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.

It made him very depressed.

Royal Palace.

When Li Shimin learned that Li Zhi died suddenly in the garden, he was extremely distressed, so he hurried to check.

Several maids wept and told about the situation early in the morning. His Highness got up early and was in a good mood. He was practicing fists and kicks, but suddenly fell down for no reason.

"Oh, I was scared to death..."

Suddenly, Li Zhi let out a loud cry and sat up with his buttocks pouted.

　Collect, collect, collect, collect.
