Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

After a while, a man who was nearly forty years old walked into the Ganlu Hall.

"Chen Chai Shao, see Your Majesty!"

Chai Shao, nicknamed Sichang, was a famous general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the husband of Princess Pingyang.

"Your Majesty, has anything special happened in Chang'an recently?"

After Chai Shao finished his ceremony, he cupped his hands and said, "I just came back from Shuofang, and I heard a lot of rumors about His Majesty, and by now it has spread all over Chang'an."

Last year, the Turks invaded the north bank of the Weishui River. Although Li Shimin frightened them away, he was worried that the Turks would come back, so he ordered Chai Shao to guard the vicinity of Shuofang. In addition to being able to monitor the Turks, he could also keep an eye on Liang Shidu who had defected to the Turks. .

During this period of time, Chai Shao was not in Chang'an. If he hadn't come back for something, he wouldn't know what Chang'an is like now.

"There are still rumors outside?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be! Isn't this already suppressed?"

Chai Shao said: "Your Majesty has just entered Chang'an City, and heard rumors that His Majesty imposes taxes, which makes people's lives difficult, and there are many complaints. It is also rumored that His Majesty is not worthy of virtue. The people behind these remarks should be damned!"

"Isn't it a rumor that His Majesty is wrong?"

Du Ruhui asked in surprise.

"No, this is the only rumor in Chang'an. When I heard about it, I entered the palace as soon as I came back."

Chai Shao said with certainty.

boom!

Li Shimin slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "I didn't expect the Cui family and the Lu family to refuse to give up. They all think I'm easy to bully, don't they?"

Du Ruhui and the four of them saw Longyan furious, bowed their hands together and stopped talking.

"Jun Xian, make another trip to Wannian County and tell your husband to print more newspapers tomorrow. I'd like to see if it's his family that spread the most, or your husband's newspaper."

Li Shimin said angrily.

"Sir, he said to Chen in the morning that if the influence of Chang'an Daily is good, he will increase the printing volume tomorrow."

Li Junxian said: "Judging from today's investigation by the minister, the newspaper has a great influence and meets the requirements of the gentleman."

"Okay, great!"

Li Shimin's tense expression loosened

"Your Majesty, who is that gentleman? Also, what is Chang'an Daily?"

Chai Shao just came back and didn't understand anything. Listening to their conversation, he was at a loss.

"Sir, a fairy-like figure."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "As for Chang'an Daily, that's it."

He handed the newspaper in his hand to Chai Shao.

"All right!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "You guys go down first, sir, we can discuss it after we go back."

After the four of them left, a small figure came out from the back of the hall.

"Aye, don't be unhappy."

Li Lizhi ran over and said with a smile: "Mr. said, it's easy to get old when you're not happy. I'll show Aye a little toy, and then I'll be happy."

She carefully took out a folded paper thing from her bosom, on which was written east, west, and north. Naturally, it was a toy that Li Yi'an made for her. She stretched her little finger under the paper and unfolded it, patiently explaining how to play it.

"Aye, you choose one."

Li Lizhi smiled.

"Just to the east, eight strokes."

Li Shimin couldn't even frown in front of his lovely daughter.

"one two Three……"

When Li Lizhi counted to eight, she happily said, "Aye, this is a reward. It says on it that you can have a big meal today."

"Okay, I'll have a big meal today."

Li Shimin was in a great mood.

-

Chang'an East City.

After Li Yi'an sent Yuan Tiangang away, he had nothing to do.

Some people passing by recognized him, and even told their fortunes for them.

They waited until the afternoon when Fang Yucheng came, and Li Yian handed over the store to him to take care of, and went back to Wannian County by himself.

It's just that when I got back to the front of the house, I looked from a distance and found two figures, a man and a woman, who were sneaky and didn't know what they wanted to do.

"While he's not at home, open the door and go in, get your things and leave."

"Isn't that good? If the master finds out, I will definitely be expelled from the division, but before being expelled, I will definitely be beaten up first. Let's go back and don't do this kind of thing."

"You don't even listen to A Niang now, do you? Open the door and let me go in and get something."

The woman grabbed the man by the ear.

"Pain...pain..."

the man wailed.

Li Yi'an listened to their conversation, approached slowly, and said, "What do you want from me?"

Suddenly they heard a sound behind them, startling them.

The woman reacted quickly, turned around, raised her foot and swept over with great force, and made a whistling sound.

Li Yi'an backed away to avoid the attack, but before he could stand still, the woman's figure flashed, and came close again, her fist directly hitting Li Yi'an's face.

After raising his hand for a simple block, Li Yi'an took the initiative to attack, grabbing the woman's neck with his backhand.

"Good come!"

The woman swung her fist to block, and another leg whip swept across, kicking Li Yi'an's arm, making a "bang", and the two of them backed up a few steps at the same time.

"Mother, sir, please don't fight any more."

Li Dejian hurried up and stood between them.

That woman is naturally Zhang Chuchen, the red-haired girl.

"So you are that gentleman, yes!"

Zhang Chuchen said appreciatively, "You're not very young, and your skills are not weak, so it's no wonder that you can write a murderous poem like killing a person in ten steps."

"I met Mrs. Li."

Li Yi'an cupped his hands.

"All right, all right, sir, don't be polite to me."

Zhang Chuchen said directly: "I just want to ask Mr. Tianlong Babu."

Li Dejian rubbed his ears and said, "Auntie read Tianlong Babu from the Queen for a while, and then Aye took the book to His Majesty to read, and now she can't finish reading it and she keeps clamoring to come to see Mr."

"It turned out that it was just for a book. I thought a thief was coming to steal something."

After Li Yi'an brought them in, he went to the study and brought her a stack of manuscripts that Yu Wenyan had just returned, and said, "I'll give these to Madam, but be careful not to leak them out in advance, and keep them secret for me. "

"Of course, thank you sir."

Zhang Chuchen's personality seemed carefree, but she was smarter than anyone else in certain things. She got the manuscript contentedly, said goodbye to Li Yi'an, and hurried back.

"Sir, don't be offended, my mother is like this, but she is casual about small things and cautious about big things."

Li Dejian only felt that he was particularly ashamed, and hurried to catch up with Zhang Chuchen after he finished speaking.

"It turns out that she is Hong Fu Nu."

Li Yi'an smiled and said, "It's kind of interesting, and it's not the same as what I thought."

Not thinking about it for the time being, Li Yi'an went to the factory and prepared to make perfume.

In addition, in the south corner of the factory, a factory building has also been built, and there are several stoves boiling salt.

Such a large piece of saline-alkali land can produce a lot of salt, which is enough to disrupt the salt market in Chang'an and prepare for his appointment as a salt and iron envoy.
