Li Yan left the palace, and he took a piece of land deed with him when he left the palace, which was the Hou Mansion rewarded by Li Shimin.

This mansion is located in the most privileged area of Chang'an City, and according to Li Shimin's description, the scale of this mansion is actually the size of the Guogong Mansion.

But considering the great credit of Li Yan, it is also a skill for him to have such an over-specification mansion.

In this way, Li Yan left the palace in a good mood.

At the Xuanwu Gate, he retrieved his war horse and Fang Tian's halberd, and went in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

After that, Li Yan spent about three days buying furniture and hiring servants for his Hou Mansion.

During this period, a large number of Chang'an nobles visited, but they were all politely rejected by Li Yan on the grounds that he had just arrived and had not yet adapted to life in Chang'an.

In the end, no one could meet Li Yan smoothly.

It wasn't until the entire Hou Mansion was almost settled that the families sent people to visit again, and brought a lot of gifts to try to make friends with Li Yan.

This time, Li Yan did not refuse, he really needs to know some nobles in Chang'an now, after all, this Chang'an is basically Li Yan's future settlement.

On the first day, Li Yan met with the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other state-level figures, and each family had done enough etiquette when they visited, Li Yan naturally entertained each other in person, and greeted each other with masks.

After this whole day, Li Yan only felt that his face was tired.

After smirking all day, my muscles were a little sore.

It wasn't until the evening that Li Yan finally got free.

On the second day, those second-tier officials in the court were also going to visit Li Yan, but Li Yan ran to the mansion of the prince of Luguo Junji alone.

Hou Junji has the grace of knowing Li Yan, and Li Yan came to place it with a respectful attitude.

Who would have thought that this Hou Junji didn't worship the seniors of the court at all, and dragged Li Yan to drink and celebrate.

Li Yan really had no way to refuse, so he had to drink the first glass of wine after coming to Datang according to Hou Junji's thoughts.

In the end, Li Yan really couldn't accept the taste of alcohol, and he didn't want to be reluctant to die, so he directly replaced his cup with a black sparkling liquid that could make the fat house of later generations feel happy.

And just like that, the second day passed without a hitch.

On the third day, Li Yan was reluctant to make peace with that group of people anymore.

Li Yan directly took the initiative and wrote invitations to almost all the nobles in Chang'an one by one, indicating that he would open a "dessert shop" in Chang'an West City in a month, hoping that each family would be able to participate in the banquet at that time.

Li Yan can be regarded as an advertisement for the store he is about to open, and at the same time, he can be regarded as refusing the endless display of these Chang'an nobles.

On the fourth day, Li Yan finally settled down completely.

Li Yan began to prepare for the planned dessert shop.

He sent his servants to exchange three glass cups in good condition for the three shops in Chang'anxi City, and then began to renovate the storefront.

In this way, Li Yan can be regarded as adding a leisure way to entertain himself to his life as the Liver Emperor.

……

Li Yan is in full swing with his petty bourgeois life plan, and Li Shimin in the palace continues to pay attention to Li Yan's dynamics.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dingbei met with Zhao Guogong, Xing Guogong, Cai Guogong and other princes a few days ago......"

"It is said that Zhao Guogong also intended to let his niece make a marriage contract with Dingbei Hou, but Dingbei Hou refused."

"In the next few days, Dingbei Hou exchanged the glass cup for a few shops, it seems that he is preparing to open a dessert shop, and he also invited most of the noble families in Chang'an."

The old eunuch Wang De gave Li Shimin a detailed report on what Li Yan had done, which Li Shimin specially told him to record.

"It seems that he really doesn't want to be an official."

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.

In the past few days, after Li Shimin calmed down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should not agree to Li Yan's request.

In any case, Li Yan has royal blood, and he just ran to do business, Li Shimin always felt awkward.

"Hey, that's it, that's it, so be it."

Li Shimin sighed, he still had to blame himself for being too emotional for a while, and completely lost the rational judgment that he should always maintain as an emperor.

"By the way, he didn't send an invitation to the palace? Does he look down on me as an emperor? ”

Li Shimin seemed to think of something again, and asked again.

When Wang De heard this, his head was bigger.

Since ancient times, how can any courtiers go to the emperor to send invitations to the emperor?

Even if Li Yan is Li Shimin's long-lost son, Li Yan himself doesn't know that there is such a thing!

Besides, even if you know, there is no reason to send an invitation to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dingbei should not have such intentions."

Although Wang De felt that Li Shimin's words were a little outrageous, he still replied respectfully.

"Go, tell Li Yan to send an invitation to the palace, and say that I said it!"

Li Shimin didn't know what kind of mentality he had, so he ordered Wang De to run to ask for an invitation, if Wei Zheng knew about this move, he was afraid that he would have to bluff in the court and cry out a few ridiculous words.

It's a pity that Wei Zheng is still staying in Shanzhou, and he can't manage the DPRK for the time being.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang De can probably understand Li Shimin's thoughts.

After all, this Dingbei Marquis was the emperor's son and had been separated from the emperor for many years.

Li Shimin probably just wanted to find a few reasons to have more contact with his son.

Li Shimin sat alone for a while after asking Li Yan about related matters, during which the corners of his mouth kept pulling a smile, and his expression was slightly warm.

After about ten minutes of immersing himself in his emotions, Li Shimin sorted out his mood and continued to deal with the mountains of paperwork on the table.

Now that there are signs of a major drought in Kannai Province, Li Shimin must pay close attention to the officials in various parts of Kannai Province and consider how to deal with it if a disaster occurs.

"Wang De, the intended purpose."

"Order Li Daozong to lead his troops to the grassland and take over the defense of Mobei and Monan."

"Let Cheng Biting Jin take people back to Chang'an."

"Also, let Wei Chigong, Li Ji and others lead their troops back to Chang'an, winter has passed, and there should be no war on the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty in a short time."

"Hmm...... Shanzhou is adjacent to Tuguhun, I feel that Tuguhun is not very honest, let Wei Zheng continue to lead people to guard over there. ”

Li Shimin returned to his usual appearance and began to issue targeted orders.

Now there will be no accidents at the border for the time being, and there is no need for Datang to waste troops to defend it.

On the contrary, the situation in Guannai Province is a bit urgent, and in the event of a major drought, it is very likely that there will be a riot among the displaced people, and Li Shimin must transfer back his troops on the border and be ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.
