The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 388 Li Shimin Takes the Train
Cheng Tieniu's wedding was held in a grand atmosphere.This made Cheng Yaojin so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.And when Li Shimin heard about this, he personally sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

……

On this day, Li Shimin took his eldest grandson Wugou and prepared to go to Huaqing Palace.This is also the first time Li Shimin has visited in person after the construction of the Huaqing Palace.

Why did Li Shimin not come to Huaqing Palace for such a long time.The reason was that Li Shimin felt that Mozhou City had been handed over to Li Tai.Just try to mix as little as possible.

This time I came to the Huaqing Palace, and I also received an invitation from Li Tai.Finally decided to go in person.I want to see how Li Tai develops Mozhou City.

Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou sat on the Luanjia, protected by the Qianniu Guards on the left and right, and headed for the Huaqing Palace in a mighty way.

When he was about fifty or sixty miles away from Chang'an City, Li Shimin suddenly found that many people were installing long iron bars on sections of wood.

Li Shimin secretly guessed in his heart that this should be the railway that the Niu Neiwei mentioned.Originally thought that Li Tai only built this kind of railway in the city of Mozhou.

Unexpectedly, this kid was going to build this kind of railway to Chang'an.This can't help but make Li Shimin feel a novelty.

So Li Shimin said to Xu Maogong who was accompanying him: "I heard that Li Tai is building some kind of railway. It seems that he is planning to build it to Chang'an City."

"Your Majesty is right. I heard from Xu Liang when he came back. King Wei is going to pass a train between Chang'an City and Mozhou City. It is estimated that it will be completed in a few months." Xu Maogong nodded and said to Li Shimin .

At this time, the eldest grandson Wugou asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what this train is."

Li Shimin knew that Li Tai was building the railway because of the news sent back by Qianniu Neiwei.Naturally, Changsun Wugou would not know about this, after all Li Tai never mentioned it.

"Empress, the king of Wei asked Momen Gao's family to manufacture a new kind of vehicle. This kind of vehicle does not need cows and horses to drive shafts, but only needs to boil water in the vehicle. This vehicle is called a train. Then it can run automatically." Xu Maogong explained to Changsun Wugou.

"It sounds quite interesting. When we get to Mozhou City, we must ask Gao Jue to take Ben Gong to try it." Changsun Wugou said with a longing expression.

Along the way, in the evening, Li Shimin finally arrived outside the city of Mozhou.At this time, Li Tai was leading the officials of Mozhou City to meet Li Shimin outside the city.

Seeing Li Shimin's Luanjia arrived, he hurried forward to pick him up.Li Tai led Qin Huaiyu, Luo Tong and others to kneel in front of Li Shimin's chariot.

He bowed to Li Shimin and said: "My son, Li Tai, see my father and mother, and I wish my father and mother a long life and a thousand years. I wish my mother a thousand years and a thousand years."

Qin Huaiyu Luotong and others who followed Li Tai naturally followed Li Tai and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live long live. May the empress be a thousand years old."

"This kid has made such a big show, when will he learn to keep a low profile." Changsun Wugou said after shaking his head helplessly.

"If he keeps a low profile, he won't be our son." Li Shimin said with a smile, then he put his hand on his eldest grandson Wugou's and walked out of Luanjia together.

Seeing Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wugou get off the luanjia, Li Tai took two steps forward and said, "Father, queen, and queen have arrived at Mozhou City, my son's home. I'm afraid we won't be able to use this luanjia."

"Could it be that you plan to let Zhen and your mother walk to the Huaqing Palace?" Li Shimin said to Li Tai pretending not to understand.

"Father, why bother to ask questions knowingly, since we have come to the city of Mozhou, my son's son. Naturally, father and mother must take the son's train." Li Tai said to Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wugou with a smile.

"I've heard that you've come up with a new gadget. Let me and your mother try it out today. Is it as novel as the legend says?" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he followed Li Tai into Mozhou with his descendant Wugou. city.

Just after entering the Mozhou city gate, a jet-black train came into view.It looked a little weird, and Zhangsun Wugou couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"This thing is not as beautiful as our Luanjia. It seems that Gao Jue is bragging again." Changsun Wugou curled his lips and said.

"Queen, why do you have to make a conclusion so early. Please get in the car with your son and have a try." Li Tai said to his eldest grandson Wugou with a smile.

Afterwards, Li Tai boarded the train with Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou.This train was specially prepared by Li Tai for Li Shimin.

It can be said that the interior decoration of this train is absolutely incomparably luxurious.The interior decoration uses modern decoration concepts, and the seats are also sofas made by Li Taixin.

"I didn't expect that your train would be so novel. It seems that it really deserves its reputation." Li Shimin nodded happily and said.

"Father, this carriage is specially prepared for Father. So it is also the most luxurious carriage. The ones behind are not of this class." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Then I want to see what the carriages at the back look like." When Li Shimin boarded the train, he found that the train was pulling seven or eight carriages.

"I'm going to go with you, I'm resting here. I'm exhausted from the journey." Changsun Wugou said after waving his hands to Li Tai and Li Shimin.

The eldest grandson Wugou felt a little tired along the way, so he sat on the sofa and said nothing to leave.Because she felt that sitting on this sofa was more comfortable than lying on the bed.

So Li Tai accompanied Li Shimin and Xu Maogong to visit the train.Sure enough, as Li Tai said, the other compartments were all packed with seats.

Moreover, the seats are all made of wood, and there is no soft sofa in Li Shimin's compartment.However, the number of people that can be accommodated is incomparable to the carriage that Li Shimin is sitting in.

After seeing it, Li Shimin asked Li Tai: "How fast can this train run, and how does it compare with a horse-drawn carriage?"

"Father, from Mozhou City to Chang'an City, if you take the train, it only takes about two hours, which is enough."

"And he can run non-stop at night, and can pull more than a dozen carriages. This is far beyond comparison with a horse-drawn carriage." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, if you use this train to transport soldiers and food, it will definitely save a lot of time." Xu Mao said openly to Li Shimin.

"Military division and I want to go together, not only in the military, this train is of absolute importance. It will also be of great help to the development of the entire Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin nodded and said to Xu Maogong.

"Father, it's still unrealistic at the moment, because the train needs the help of the railway, and the construction of the railway cannot be completed in a short time." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"I have decided to set up a special department. You will be the top official. I don't know what you think." Li Shimin said to Li Tai with a smile.

"Father, do you think it's really okay to bully my son like this?" Li Tai said with a bitter and hatred expression on his face.
