In today's Datang, the efficiency of various administrative departments can be called fast.

Only an hour after the end of the court meeting, the three provinces, six departments, and five temples quickly elected the officials on duty and reported them to Xiao Yu.

Those officials who decided to follow His Majesty Li Er's bittersweet memories went home directly to prepare under the pretext of going home to prepare horses.

Travel at public expense, how can you not act quickly?

Only a few people were very depressed!

One of them is Taifu Siqing.

Originally, as long as the emperor did not travel, there was basically nothing to do in Taifu Temple except for raising horses. But now that the emperor is going on patrol, all the mess that should be prepared will come out.

The leisurely life suddenly becomes busy, especially how much do you have to do in the middle of the afternoon?

"Dog day on the Don River! Tang Songling of dog days! Well, and that dog-day Tang Jian! ”

Taifu Siqing was busy on the one hand, and scolded the entire old Tang family to the blood.

Needless to say, a few other depressed people are Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai.

When the old eunuch received an edict from the crown prince and a leave of absence for 20 days in the evening, Tang Laosi personally approved the leave of absence and arrived at Chang'an College.

The brother in a dormitory suddenly became a bitter gourd face.

We're still dolls!

Dad, aren't you and your brother-in-law afraid of entrusting us with such a heavy responsibility as the prison of the country?

Also, brother-in-law, you specially wrote it clearly in the fake note, asking for 20 days off but not allowing you to miss your homework. In other words, our brothers not only have to watch the folds but also study their homework seriously, the task is so arduous, won't your conscience hurt?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Li Chengqian shouted three times in his heart, turned around and went to the next bedroom.

"Tang Lao Wu, from tomorrow, you will come to the palace after school every day to tell us what you have learned!"

Li Chengqian really had no choice, because the leave note indicated that if his brother's academic performance fell behind, he would be criticized by name at the conference and demoted to study.

Li Chengqian had no doubt that Tang Laosi would do such a thing.

In order not to become the first batch of repeaters of Chang'an College, for the sake of face, Li Chengqian could only pull Tang Lao Wu with him.

"Why?"

Donald Wu's mouth was deflated, "You and I are not one and a half!" ”

"See for yourself!"

Li Chengqian threw the special leave slip in Tang Lao Wu's arms, "If your brother makes up something, who is responsible if you are not responsible?" ”

“......”

What you TM said is so reasonable, Donald Lao Wu was speechless after reading the leave note.

......

Early the next morning, a thousand horses assembled outside the Chunming Gate.

It's not that all the people who are hunched on horseback are ministers who travel with His Majesty Li Er and remember the bittersweet feelings, and most of them are soldiers of the Eagle Guard.

The emperor travels, although everything is simple, but there must always be some defense force, right?

Ying Yangwei, who returned from the victory of the grassland, unexpectedly banned the Hundred Cavalry Division and the Xuanjia Army, and became the first choice for His Majesty Li Er's patrol this time. This made the Xuanjia Army and the Hundred Cavalry Division very unhappy, but what could they do? The results of others are completely speechless.

Li Chengqian, who came to say goodbye, was extremely resentful, just like ...... Before going to bed, the family was fine, but when I woke up, I found that the house was full of bamboo sticks after my father and mother secretly ate barbecue last night.

Seeing the backs of his father and mother getting farther and farther away, Li Chengqian's brother really wanted to say, Daddy, we also want to go.

After all, the figure of the tourist unit slowly disappeared from Li Chengqian's field of vision after entering the official road.

The prince sighed faintly and turned back to the palace, without thinking, he was facing a case like a hill.

On the other hand, a large group of publicly-funded tourists rode on the official road.

Excitement was evident on almost every minister's face.

Especially those ministers who have not walked out of Chang'an City and out of the boundary of Yongzhou for many years, the excitement on their faces is the strongest.

Fang Qiao's body rose and fell with the horse's hooves, and he tilted his head and said to Du Ruhui beside him: "Keming, look, our spring ploughing has already begun." ”

"yes!"

Du Ruhan smiled and nodded, "If I hadn't walked out of Chang'an today, I would have almost mistakenly thought that the people would have cultivated when I really had to go to the top." Tang Laosi's proposal this time is good, this time to take a walk, to a large extent, we can avoid the court and the public behind closed doors. ”

At this moment, the person who Du Ruhui praised was really riding a horse and walking at the head of the team.

Tang Laosi grinned, "Your Majesty, how is it, come out for a walk and breathe some fresh air, do you feel a lot better?" ”

"Humph!"

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, "On the Tang River, this is all out, can you tell me what the surprise is?" ”

"No hurry!"

Tang Laosi still didn't say, but pointed to the distance and said: "Your Majesty, in this situation, the minister has some poetry, why don't you chant to you, can you help with the axe?" ”

Poem?

Poetry you uncle!

Your poems by Donald Laosi, don't you kill yourself? His Majesty Li Er's eyes were wide-eyed, and he was about to refuse, but he saw Donald Laosi's brain flicker, and his mouth opened: "The light rain in Tianjie is as moist as a crisp, and the grass color is close but there is nothing, the most important thing is the spring benefit of the year, and it is better than the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital." ”

"it!"

"Huh? Isn't it a thunderous poem? ”

After listening to Tang Laosi's poem, His Majesty Li Er unexpectedly had an expression on his face that he would have survived the catastrophe.

Tang Laosi looked at the look of his future father-in-law and grinned, "Your Majesty, how is this poem?" Do you want to make another song? ”

"The poem is very good!"

His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth, "No need to do it again!" ”

I don't want to have the rest of my life to be lucky.

Donald Lao Si grinned, took it when he saw it, slowed down the speed of the horse, and looked at the scene on both sides of the official road seriously.

As time passed, three days passed imperceptibly.

The team of bittersweet memories has gone out five or six hundred miles away.

The civil and military officials who had passed the freshness began to feel a little uncomfortable, especially when they got food for every meal.

All compressed military rations and a bowl of hot water, but there is no hair in the other.

It's really Nima who remembers bitterly!

Many officials have eaten compressed military rations for several days in a row, and even the tribute is not so smooth. But no one came forward and said that they wanted to eat differently.

There is no way, who let the emperor eat the same as everyone, who made the emperor not stand up and say that he couldn't stand it?

Actually, the big guy didn't know that the emperor had made a suggestion to Tang Laosi as early as the next day, "Si'er, it's been a little difficult for me to go out in the past two days, so let's change something else?" ”

"Your Majesty, you naturally want to take the lead! Besides, you look at the emperor, with a look of remembrance, but you haven't said bitterness? ”

Tang Laosi's words prevaricated His Majesty Li Er's back.

Eat something else?

Hehe! Tang went to the grassland for a trip full of this thing, and he didn't see anything else?

It's also a shame that His Majesty Li Er doesn't know what his son-in-law thinks, otherwise he will definitely ...... Shoot him!

......

In Hexi County, Hanzhou, on the edge of the Yellow River crossing, a simple shed has been built here for ten months.

In the shed, the three young officials who met here ten months ago always felt a little different from ten months ago, and if they had to say one, two, three, maybe they should be more mature.

Today, they are together again, again because of the meeting.

Wang Xuance, who was the leader, raised the palm-sized letterhead in his hand, and said with a smile: "Du Wei, eldest grandson, the chairman has a letter, he is already on the way, and he will definitely arrive at the gate of Yu on the day of the Shangsi Festival." The chairman also said that he would give us a surprise at that time. ”

"Surprise?"

The eldest grandson Chong grinned, "What a surprise, it won't be for us to move our official position up, right?" ”

"It's time to move!"

Du Gou, who has always been calm, followed the taste, "We have been eating and sleeping on the edge of the Yellow River for so long, and now that the first steel concrete bridge in the Tang Dynasty has been completed, it is not okay not to give us a promotion." ”

"You guys!"

Wang Xuance shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not satisfied, this Datang, I'm afraid that there is no one with a higher official position than us, right?" Or think about how to do a good job of opening the hall! ”

"Yes!"

Eldest Sun Chong shrugged his shoulders, "Isn't Chairman Tang taller than us?" ”

This joke Nima really makes sense, Wang Xuance is speechless.

However, jokes are jokes, and things still have to be arranged.

After a short joke, the relevant matters of the ceremony were arranged.

Du Wei and Changsun Chong listened carefully, and the more they listened, the more they admired the boss in front of them. The whole work can be described as comprehensive, and it is no wonder that the guy on the Tang River will be valued, from a staff member to a high-ranking official from the fifth grade.

Soon after the meeting, the sign that originally marked the countdown of the construction period changed its name, and the new name was called "Countdown to the Opening of the Bridge".

As the big guys are deployed, the numbers on the countdown board get smaller and smaller.

At the same time, the front foot of the Yi Ku Si Tian Brigade has stepped on the border of Hanzhou, and only the back foot is still in Puzhou.

His Majesty Li Er already had some guesses in his heart about the big surprise that Tang Laosi said.

"Tang Shilang, do you just want to take me out to see the laying of this official road?"

His Majesty Li Er, who has been walking on the official road for several days, saw the caravans coming and going on the official road, and experienced the convenience of the concrete official road, sincerely felt that it was indeed a big surprise to lay so many official roads in more than a year, "I admit that it is indeed a surprise, so I will not continue to go down." Let's get ready to go back, the military rations for several days are a little unbearable for the big guys. ”

How easy is it to go from thrift to luxury, and how difficult is it to go from luxury to thrift?

The ministers can stop and eat military rations all the way on this official road until now, and it is almost the same to remember the bittersweet and sweet.

"Your Majesty, what kind of surprise is this official way?"

Tang Laosi shook his head, "We have to continue to move forward, in about three or four days, you can see it." As for what you said, everyone can't stand it, and the minister has made arrangements, and from today on, everyone will say that they will no longer eat military rations. Memories are bitter and sweet, bitter memories are enough, and naturally there should be some sweetness. ”

"Still have to go on?"

His Majesty Li Er's mind turned several times, but he couldn't really guess what the surprise prepared on the Tang River was, so he could only nod and agree to move on. Those who have traveled a hundred miles are half ninety, and they have walked for so many days, and it is really not cost-effective to give up now.

On that day, the meals of the large army finally changed from military rations to normal meals, and at the same time, Tang Heshang also announced to everyone that there would be a huge surprise for everyone in three days.

This gives the whole army the power to keep going.

One thing to say, the official doesn't care about any surprises or not, the main thing is that it has been gone for more than ten days, and if it takes another two or three days, the official can stand it.

The three days passed slowly.

On the evening of the second day of the third lunar month, the Bittersweet Tourist Brigade finally arrived at the village near the Yellow River.

They did not enter the village to disturb the people, and the large army rested.

Early the next morning, the Tang River led the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials on horseback and continued to walk towards the river.

It didn't take long for several figures to appear in the field of vision on the Tang River.

"Is it the chairman?"

On the Tang River, I saw the three horsemen on the opposite side, and the three horsemen on the opposite side naturally saw the large army.

Changsun Chong has seen too many pictures these days, his eyes are a little not good, and he is a little uncertain and asked.

Wang Xuance nodded, "It seems to be!" Let's go! ”

"Wait!"

Before Wang Xuance waved his horsewhip, Du Gou of the group suddenly looked excited, "It's not just the chairman, you see, it seems that the chairman is next to His Majesty!" There is my father in the back, and there is Uncle Fang! Eldest grandson, your father is also in it! ”

"Dong, chairman, this is inviting all the civil and military officials to watch the ceremony?"

Wang Xuance was a little incredulous, he was so excited that he stammered a little, "Could it be that this is the surprise that the chairman said?" ”

"Goo!"

The eldest grandson Chong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Look at this situation! ”

"Wang Xuance, Changsun Chong, Du Wei! Why don't you come to greet Your Majesty and the Princes? ”

Tang Laosi saw that the three people opposite were motionless, and he was directly stunned in place, and couldn't help but roll his eyes and remind him.

Listen to the familiar voice coming from the other side.

Wang Xuance, Changsun Chong, and Du Gou finally came back to their senses, and they immediately turned over and dismounted, and ran directly towards the large army.

"King Xuance!"

"Minister, Sun Chong!"

"Chendugou!"

"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen all the princes!"

"Wang Xuance! I remember you! ”

His Majesty Li Er raised his hand and motioned for the three of them to get up, "Chong'er, it's dark, but it's stronger!" Du Wei, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, have I? You have worked hard for the construction of official roads! ”

His Majesty Li Er's simple two words made the three of them excited, and replied in unison, "For the Tang Dynasty, the ministers and others will not hesitate to smear their livers and brains!" ”

"Hmm!"

The emperor snorted and said with a smile: "You Chairman Tang kidnapped me and all the ministers all the way to bring me here, saying that I came to see the surprise, it can't be you three big men, right?" So, don't talk about it, and take me and all my ministers to see what that big surprise is! ”

Wang Xuance suddenly felt that his nose was sour, and his heart was moved by the Tang River.

After taking two deep breaths, he calmed down and said, "The big surprise is naturally not the three of us, but the surprise is ahead, please move with your majesty." ”
