Chapter 1081: Comforting the Prince and Visiting Luoyang
The prince cautiously stepped into the imperial study.
Seeing no one around him, Su Shaoan immediately understood that he had been summoned alone by his own father.
Thinking that those who could be summoned by the emperor alone were all important officials of the court, Su Shaoan subconsciously felt that the atmosphere was getting tense.
He really couldn't understand that his father had something important to discuss with him alone.
Although his heart was agitated, the prince's steps and etiquette were flawless. He knelt down respectfully and said:
"My son, I sincerely wish my father a long and prosperous life!"
"Get flat."
Su Mingzhe's tone was calm, without showing any emotion.
When the prince slowly stood up, Su Mingzhe pointed to the fire pit opposite him and said casually:
"There are no outsiders here today, so you can sit on the kang. Today, father and son will not talk about state affairs, but just talk about home affairs."
After hearing this, Su Shaoan muttered directly:
Is there any family matter in the Emperor's family?
No matter what his son thought, Su Mingzhe directly untied a piece of red satin and revealed the globe below:
"This is the new globe made by Qin Tianjian in October this year. The yellow area is the territory of our Han Empire. Look, how much of the world do we Han occupy?"
"yes."
When Su Shaoan took the globe, his first feeling was that it was a little heavy.
As the Han navy traveled around the world, more than a dozen versions of the globe appeared.
Last year, the globe that Qin Tianjian presented to Su Shaoan was made of wool and sheepskin. After a layer of paper was pasted on the outside, patterns were hand-painted on the surface with a brush.
The overall weight is only three or four kilograms, and it feels very light in the hand.
As for the Imperial Study Room, it is several times heavier than my own one, and it feels as if it is solid.
In addition to the weight difference, the maps of each country on this globe are very detailed and detailed.
On this globe, there are actually hundreds of countries and tribal names depicted.
"Father, is this all we, a big man, have? How can this Abbasid Dynasty, the Sun Dynasty, be so big?"
Su Shaoan turned the globe around in surprise and was stunned.
On the previous globe, the territory of the Han Dynasty occupied at least one-tenth or even one-fifth of the earth.
But this time, it's not even one-twentieth.
On the globe, in addition to the Han Dynasty, there were actually two dynasties and empires with equally vast territories.
"Prince, this world has always been one where there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky. We big men are not the center of the world..."
Su Mingzhe glanced at the globe, and couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth at first. The disdain in his eyes was not concealed at all.
These guys from Qin Tian Jian are a bit too correct.
I told them last time that they underestimated the ocean area.
Who would have thought that this time, they would directly double the ocean area.
However, there is no need to tell the prince these things for the time being.
Seeing the prince's surprised expression, Su Mingzhe decided to forgive Qin Tianjian for this mistake.
"But, this is too small."
Su Shaoan's eyes were still filled with wonder.
He has always believed that the Han Dynasty is the center of the world, and China's Kyushu is the center of world civilization.
However, now his father told himself that there are hundreds of countries and tribes in this world, and there are even two countries, which are not weaker than the Han Dynasty in terms of territory.
Su Mingzhe took a sip of tea and saw that the prince's mood gradually calmed down, so he slowly asked:
"Over the years, my Han Dynasty Navy has been continuously exploring the outside world and has discovered many unclaimed lands. Some of these unowned lands are desolate and some are rich. I have an overseas vassal plan in mind, and I plan to let your brothers What do you think about moving there with some people?"
"Father, since this is an unowned land and it was discovered by our Han Dynasty navy, it is a gift from God to our Han Dynasty. God cannot take it from us, but we will be blamed for it. I agree with my father's overseas vassal plan!"
Su Shaoan was not very good at lying. When he heard about the plan of "overseas vassalization", he couldn't open his mouth with joy, so naturally he would not object hypocritically.
"Since you agree, that's fine."
As Su Mingzhe spoke, he took out a territory map from the table, spread it out on the table, and began to explain to Su Shaoan his specific plans for overseas vassalage in conjunction with the globe.
At this moment, Su Shaoan suddenly felt as if he had returned to the time when he was nine years old and was taken to the Imperial Study Room to learn how to handle government affairs.
When Juan reminded them that it was noon, the father and son realized that unknowingly, the whole morning had slipped away inadvertently.
"I won't let you have dinner. You go back to the East Palace to prepare. Your mother has said that she will arrange your marriage as soon as possible."
Su Mingzhe waved his hand and signaled his son to step back.
Not long after, Wan Hou came back with a cold face.
Now she feels sorry for her son. Although they are all the emperor's sons, the prince only enjoys the favor, while the other princes have become useless in captivity.
It's not surprising that Su Mingzhe got angry after seeing Wan.
Wan Hou has this kind of character. After getting to know a man, she will often play tricks.
After lunch, Su Mingzhe hugged Wanhou and lay down to rest.
At three o'clock in the hour, the two of them got up and washed themselves while being served by the palace maid.
Empress Wan looked charming. After sending the emperor away, she stayed alone in the imperial study to handle government affairs.
It seems that there are only a few days until the Spring Festival.
All offices and offices are preparing to seal the seal, and when the time comes, everyone will go home to rest and celebrate the festival.

Su Mingzhe also knew that he had nothing to do recently, so he planned to leave the palace and explore the streets and alleys of Luoyang alone.
Twenty years have passed since Liang was destroyed.
Luoyang, which was already prosperous, is a bit richer than before.
The people walking on the streets are all fat men with red faces and bulging bellies. You can see them everywhere.
Seeing such a prosperous and healthy people, Su Mingzhe could not help but feel proud.
If he hadn't appeared, this time and space would have been in turmoil for at least several decades before some stability could be restored.
"Husband?"
Suddenly, a soft and charming voice awoke Su Mingzhe from his complacency.
Turning around suddenly, Su Mingzhe saw three graceful beauties walking out of a powder shop.
Walking in front is the baby-faced Qingping.
Although this girl is nearly forty years old, with her pretty and charming baby face, it is true to say that she is just over twenty.
Followed closely by Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen is only thirty-five years old. She was born with fair skin and good looks. More than ten years later, she still looks like a cute girl.
Du Juan finally walked out of the rouge shop.
The former princess of Shu and the crown prince of Tang had a bookish air of calmness, elegant temperament, and beautiful beauty.
As the three women walked, they were surrounded by flowing clouds and had various manners. They were all extremely beautiful.
"Why didn't you bring any guards when you came out?"
Su Mingzhe was overjoyed at first when he saw the three women appearing. Then he noticed that there was not even a palace maid beside the three women, and his eyes suddenly revealed the slightest bit of majesty.
Qingping smiled and did not answer the man's words. Instead, she smiled and pointed forward:
"Husbands, those with bodyguards are all in front. Look, they are protecting Sister Qingnv, Sister Xiaoai and the others."
Su Mingzhe followed his fingers and swept over with his consciousness, and found that Qingnu, Xiao Ai, Zhong Yuniang and more than a dozen concubines had all come out of the palace to play.
A large group of imperial guards were nervously handling some blind dogs.
Su Mingzhe looked at another group of wealthy young men whose hearts were stabbed and then thrown into an alley, and his mood suddenly became brighter:
"Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is a place where dragons and tigers gather. A group of young people actually want to be arrogant. They deserve their bad luck. They encountered a group of evil stars when they went out..."
