Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 182 Oh my god, you are the emperor

The street in front of Suzaku Gate is Suzaku Street.

Zhuque Avenue is the most spacious street in Chang'an City.

But it is so close to the palace that there are hardly any people here.

The common people all stopped a few hundred meters away from the Suzaku Gate, tacitly did not approach.

Therefore, the three of Fang Yuan are quite quiet here, no one approached, and no one chased them away.

"Fang Ling, I heard that you killed Ashina Luoyun with your own hands."

"I really didn't see that you still have that kind of strength, amazing!"

Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan up and down, smiled and said.

He was really shocked that Fang Yuan was able to kill Ashina Luoyun.

Ashina Luoyun is a member of the Eastern Turkic royal family and the nephew of Jieli Khan.

I don't know how powerful it is, but it is rumored that he is a fierce general, and ordinary generals are not his opponents.

But Fang Yuan, a civil servant, seemed to have no kung fu, but he was shocked to be able to kill the other party with his own hands.

"Just a fluke."

"Boss Li talking while walking?"

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

Even if the other party doesn't want to show his identity, then he will pretend that he doesn't know.

"Then talk as you go."

Li Shimin nodded and smiled lightly.

Immediately, the two of them moved away from the Suzaku Gate.

The farther you are from Suzaku Gate, the more you can feel the prosperity of Chang'an City.

The flow of people is really not comparable to Liaozhou City, and the people you meet are either rich or expensive.

Here, ordinary people dressed in plain clothes are rarely seen, and they are more likely to be members of a certain family.

This is a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon place.

"Fang Ling, do you know where the Chang'an County Government is? Shall I take you around?"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

The Chang'an County Government manages the entire Chang'an County, and the direct person in charge is the emperor.

Therefore, when the county government was set up, it was very close to the imperial palace, so that the emperor could summon the other party at any time and know the situation of Chang'an City at any time.

"Then thank you, Boss Li."

Fang Yuan expressed his thanks.

It is better to have someone lead the way than to ask the way yourself.

He received his official seal and official uniform today, and will go to work tomorrow.

If Li Shimin can lead the way today, tomorrow he won't have to worry about asking for directions.

"this way please."

Li Shimin smiled.

Go first in one direction.

Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui were a little bit slower, looked at each other, and smiled tacitly.

The two already knew each other's identity, but because the emperor was not ready for a showdown, they could only pretend that they didn't know each other.

Soon, the three of them walked to the gate of Chang'an County Yamen.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Chang'an County Yamen, Fang Yuan was shocked by its atmosphere.

It is even more luxurious than Liaozhou Governor's Mansion, and it occupies a larger area than the Governor's Mansion.

"This county government is even more grand than my Governor's Mansion in Liaozhou."

Fang Yuan sighed.

As expected of the imperial capital, everything is different.

A small place really cannot be compared with the imperial capital.

"Naturally, it is Chang'an City after all."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

As an imperial capital, it should naturally look like an imperial capital.

Heroes from all over the world, missions from various countries, etc. will come to Chang'an City.

This is the place where Datang greets the Quartet, and the appearance will not be too bad.

Fang Yuan nodded heavily, and was about to speak, but at this moment, he saw a middle-aged man in official uniform coming out of the yamen.

Judging by his clothes, he should be the magistrate of Chang'an county government, when he saw Fang Yuan's side, his body froze immediately, he rubbed his eyes, thinking he was wrong.

When confirming the situation again, the middle-aged man quickly walked towards Fang Yuan.

"Minister Zheng Mingzhu, Chancellor of Chang'an County, pay my respects to Your Majesty and Prime Minister Du!"

Cheng Mingzhu of Chang'an County passed Fang Yuan and saluted Li Shimin and Du Ruhui.

"Cough, no courtesy!"

Li Shimin gave a dry cough and straightened his clothes slightly.

He looked at Fang Yuan beside him with expectant eyes, waiting for Fang Yuan's change.

"You, are you the emperor? Are you Du Xiang?"

Fang Yuan's eyes widened, he looked at Li Shimin and Du Ruhui in shock and said.

"Well, not bad, didn't expect that?"

Li Shimin was overjoyed.

From just now, he has always wanted to find a chance to show Fang Yuan.

Although it was not the time for him to show his cards, it was never a good time.

Seeing Fang Yuan's shocked appearance, Li Shimin was very happy, feeling like a childlike revival.

"Chen Fang Yuan, pay respects to His Majesty, pay respects to Du Xiang!"

Fang Yuan immediately bowed his head and saluted.

He was worried that if he was stared at by Li Shimin again, his acting skills would be exposed.

"Hehehe"

"Excuse me, you're welcome, it's fine as before."

Li Shimin laughed.

Feel happier and happier.

The more shocked Fang Yuan was, the happier he was.

After waiting for so long, isn't this the moment you've been waiting for?

"Exit, next official Zheng Mingzhu pays respects to Fang Ling!"

Zheng Mingzhu was taken aback, and quickly saluted Fang Yuan.

He was curious just now who was talking and laughing with Li Shimin.

Now that Fang Yuan reported his name, he immediately knew that it was the new Chang'an Order.

As the county magistrate, he already knew that a person named Fang Yuan would be in charge of the Chang'an order, and he would take office these days.

"You are also free."

Fang Yuan withdrew his polite gesture, and said to Zheng Mingzhu who was beside him.

Zheng Mingzhu was a little confused.

The Chang'an order has always been the emperor's confidant.

And the newly appointed Chang'an Ling didn't even know the emperor, what's going on?
But judging from the dialogue between the two, the two actually knew each other before, but they didn't disclose their identities.

What a great honor it is for the emperor to hide his identity and get along with one person?

For a while, Zheng Mingzhu had a new understanding of Fang Yuan.

"Zheng Mingzhu, you go back first."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Yes."

Zheng Mingzhu should be right away.

He is just a petty official.

No matter how big a question I had in my heart, I didn't dare to ask the emperor.

Or after Fang Yuan takes office as Chang'an Commander tomorrow, it is fine to ask Fang Yuan again.

But judging from today's situation, the relationship between Fang Yuan and the emperor is very unusual.

Soon, Zheng Mingzhu left.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to be the emperor. I really don't want you to lie to me so hard."

"If there was any unhappiness between us before, you wouldn't take it to heart, would you?"

Fang Yuan kept a shocked look as much as possible and said.

"I'm not that kind of stingy person."

"Fang Yuan, have you ever thought that I am the emperor?"

Li Shimin waved his hand and laughed.

He is not a stingy person, he will not remember Fang Yuan's hatred.

But he was also curious, whether Fang Yuan had ever doubted his identity.

"No, never thought about it."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said seriously.

"So my acting skills are pretty good."

Li Shimin was a little proud again, and his expression was a little proud.

He didn't notice that Du Ruhui behind him almost couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, Your Majesty has superb acting skills and is invincible in the world!"

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

A rainbow fart is sent.

Li Shimin is very useful, kind of ecstatic.

He turned his head and wanted to share his feelings at this time with Du Ruhui.

But seeing Du Ruhui seeming to hold back a smile, he frowned immediately.

"Fang Ling's words are good."

"Your Majesty has superb acting skills and is invincible in the world!"

Du Ruhui immediately gave a dry cough and said seriously.

But the look is somewhat different, a little evasive.

"really?"

Li Shimin frowned even deeper.

He looked at Fang Yuan, then at Du Ruhui.

It always felt like there was something between the two of them hiding from him.

"really!"

Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui nodded solemnly.

The fact that the two spoke almost in unison made Li Shimin feel even more weird.

"Keming, tell me!"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, stared at Du Ruhui and said.

"what?"

"Say what?"

Du Ruhui immediately lost the mood to laugh.

He was worried that Li Shimin would find out that Fang Yuan already knew their identities in advance.

Although he had not communicated with Fang Yuan, he did not report what he knew and let Li Shimin do what he did just now.

It doesn't matter if Fang Yuan didn't know their identities just now, but it would be embarrassing if he knew their identities in advance.

"For example, I concealed my identity from Fang Yuan!"

Li Shimin looked Du Ruhui up and down, and said in a deep voice.

I have been with Du Ruhui for a long time, and I can tell from Du Ruhui's appearance that he has something to hide from him.

It's just that he can't say what it is, he just thinks it has something to do with Fang Yuan, it has something to do with his concealing his identity and making friends with Fang Yuan.

"No, no."

Du Ruhui became even more restless.

It was hard for him not to panic, because Li Shimin's identity had already been exposed.

For example, Fang Yuan has a close relationship with his daughter, Fang Yuan has already guessed their identities.

Another example is that Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng have a good relationship, and it is very likely that they have already guessed their identities.

If Li Shimin inquired seriously, he would know that Fang Yuan had already seen through the identity he thought he had concealed well.

However, as an insider, he didn't report it, so that what happened just now, if the emperor became angry, he might be embarrassed and scold him.

"No?!"

Li Shimin was even more suspicious.

If not, Du Ruhui wouldn't be like this.

"Fang Yuan, do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"I ask you, did you know my identity before today?"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, turned his head to stare at Fang Yuan and said.

"know."

Fang Yuan said with a sneer.

Li Shimin even revealed the crime of deceiving the emperor, Fang Yuan dare not admit it.

"Then you pretended not to know him just now?"

Li Shimin's face immediately sank.

Not only that, but I also felt that my face was burning hot, which was very embarrassing.

He also thought that Fang Yuan hadn't guessed his identity, so he couldn't help being a little proud and proud.

But unexpectedly, Fang Yuan already knew, so he was like a clown just now?
Du Ruhui on the side immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at Li Shimin, worried that Li Shimin would become angry and blame the two.

"Aren't I doing it for His Majesty's sake?"

"Your Majesty deliberately conceals it, so the courtiers can't reveal it?"

Fang Yuan said with a sneer.

It's true that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and always have to be concerned about the emperor's emotions.

"Humph!"

"Keming, what about you?"

"And why are you?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, looked at Du Ruhui and said.

"I'm not sure if Fang Yuan knows, I just guessed, so I dare not say."

Du Ruhui also said with a sneer.

"When did you start guessing?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He is also a thick-skinned person, so there is no need to become angry and punish the two of them for this matter.

After all, one is his most loyal prime minister, and the other is his virtuous minister Ying Meng, both of whom are very important to him.

Naturally, if other people deceived him like this, it might really be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

"It seems to be the time when Miao Yan confessed her identity to Fang Yuan, the old minister forgot."

Du Ruhui said with a sneer.

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing dryly and then heavily.

His health has been very bad, his face turned red after coughing a few times, and he coughed so hard that his chest stuck to his back, drooling.

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you."

Li Shimin was speechless.

Also go down this step.

Otherwise, he was worried that he would not be able to step down.

After all, after thinking about it, it was indeed too embarrassing just now, and I blushed just thinking about it.

"I know, cough cough cough"

Du Ruhui waved his hand.

But still can't stop coughing.

He held his knees with one hand and his chest with the other.

Coughing again and again, getting worse and worse, I feel like my lungs are about to be coughed out.

"Du Xiang, are you okay?"

At first Fang Yuan thought that Du Ruhui was going down the steps for Li Shimin.

But looking at his appearance, I couldn't help remembering that his health has been bad, so I hurriedly supported him.

Seeing this, Li Shimin on the side couldn't care about the embarrassment just now, and looked at Du Ruhui worriedly, wanting to call someone.

"I'm fine!"

"It's just a small problem, it will be fine later."

Du Ruhui shook his head, covered his mouth and suppressed a cough.

After a while, he finally stopped coughing violently, but his face turned purple.

"Du Xiang, I hope you can ask for leave to recuperate for a while."

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui worriedly, and said in a deep voice.

It hurts his heart to see his loyal courtiers being sick.

"Your Majesty, now that the two countries are at war and there is no result yet, how can I rest in peace?"

Du Ruhui shook his head and said firmly.

Now, the battle between Datang and East Turks has come to an end.

Looking at the overall situation, since Li Ke wiped out the Eastern Turkic cavalry, the victory has belonged to Datang.

But just from the observation of the battle situation, the real victory may take about a month to be officially determined.

"Oh you."

Li Shimin was angry and moved.

But in the end there was only one long sigh.

Now both he and the court cannot do without Du Ruhui's support.

Because Du Ruhui was firmly seated in the position of Right Servant, Pei Ji could not be monopolized.

If Du Ruhui was not around, it would be difficult for anyone to take over the position of You Pushe, let alone resist those big families.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm fine."

Du Ruhui said with a smile.

Fang Yuan on the side watched, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Fang Yuan knew the history and knew that Du Ruhui passed away around four years ago in Zhenguan.

Now it is the seventh month of the third year of Zhenguan, and he doesn't have much time left.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan wanted to extend a helping hand to Du Ruhui, but there was nothing he could do.

Maybe the genius doctor Sun Simiao has the ability to save him, but it is a pity that this person's whereabouts are elusive, he has no fixed place, and cannot be found.

"I won't talk about you, I just hope you can take good care of your body."

"Fang Yuan, I won't chat with you anymore, Chang'an City will be handed over to you in the future, if there is anything you can't solve, you can go directly to the palace to find me!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

He cared about Du Ruhui very much, but he also knew that Du Ruhui couldn't rest now.

Therefore, after Fang Yuan wiped out the Eastern Turks Qianqi, Li Shimin thought of transferring Fang Yuan to Chang'an City.

Fang Yuan, as his virtuous minister Ying Meng, must be able to assist him and share Du Ruhui's important responsibilities, so that Chang'an City is better in his own hands.

Over time, the higher your prestige and the stronger your control, you will center on Chang'an City, radiate outward, control more places, and truly rule the world.

Instead of being like now, many courtiers have different opinions, are loyal to the emperor on the surface, secretly scold themselves for being unfair, and regard the family law above the national law, which he can't bear.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Fang Yuan's heart trembled, and he said seriously.

With Li Shimin's words, he can walk sideways in Chang'an City in the future.

"Keming, let's go back."

Li Shimin nodded heavily and said in a deep voice.

He believed in Fang Yuan, believed that Fang Yuan could manage Chang'an City well.

But relatively speaking, Fang Yuan will not go smoothly in Chang'an City.

Some aristocratic families in Chang'an City, such as Pei's from Hedong, Xiao from Lanling, Cui from Boling, etc., already have grievances with Fang Yuan.

With the appearance of Fang Yuan, they will definitely retaliate, and they will definitely not let Fang Yuan sit in Chang'an Ling's position easily.

Fang Yuan saluted Li Shimin and Du Ruhui, and watched them enter the Vermilion Bird Gate before leaving.

Looking at the bustling Chang'an City, Fang Yuan took a deep breath, feeling unavoidably excited.

From now on, this will be my base camp.

I used to be a local official because my time was too short to invent something, but now I can invent with confidence!
