Chapter 600: The Matter of Sacrifice
Okay, to avoid these things in the future, there is still some time, let's talk about the situation in Youzhou. ”
Li De said for a while that it was time to take a break, and at this time, he happened to listen to the situation in Youzhou during his absence.
"Dadudu, the project in Youzhou has been completed sixty percent, the commercial street in Youzhou is almost perfect, it has been put into use, there are more than 3,000 registered businessmen at present, and the number of non-resident businessmen in the off-season is several times as much."
"All the shops in the commercial street have been leased out, and the restaurant inn business is the best income for the development of Youzhou, which is the recent economic statistics."
Li Shimin is very smart and knows that Li De likes to do practical things, so he immediately prepared the statistics of the store operation during this time.
Li De looked at various statistics, took a closer look at the obvious increase in the previous statistics, and was about to continue the discussion with Li Shimin, when a red shadow appeared at the door.
"Husband, you don't say you have a good rest when you come back, my mother asked me to find you home." It was none other than the woman in red who spoke, Li De's second lady Zhang Chuchen.
At this time, the scene was silent, and the officials were embarrassed.
If a woman suddenly broke into a meeting during a meeting, it would definitely be disrespectful and would have a very bad impact, but the woman who came was Li De's wife.
What else can they say, they can only act as if they have not seen anything, have not heard.
Li De still remained calm, he knew that he had to go home when he saw Zhang Chuchen's eyes, otherwise this woman might really have to do something out of the ordinary.
He said to everyone very lightly: "It's not early today, that's all for today's meeting, and the rest of the things will be talked about tomorrow." ”
After Li De finished speaking, everyone dispersed immediately, and they were all people with vision.
After Li Shimin and the others went out, Zhang Chuchen immediately came to his side and said, "Husband, why did you come back, did you forget about us." ”
"Why, I miss it every day."
Li De is very witty, and he must not add "we" at this time, otherwise the woman in red will definitely be angry, the woman's mind is like this, and she can't guess.
"Let's go, go home." Li Dedao.
The two of them rode fast horses and quickly returned to the Governor's Mansion, Dabai seemed to have not seen Li De for a long time, and always wanted to speed up, but this was in Youzhou City, there were fixed horses, but they could only let the horses walk.
So Li De and Zhang Chuchen dragged Dabai all the way to prevent him from racing.
Back at the Governor's Mansion, the hated Zhang Chuchen directly gave Da Bai a whip, and Li De looked at his heart on the side and said when did Zhang Nuxia's temper become so big.
Fortunately, Dabai is like nothing, Zhang Chuchen is a horse lover, where is she willing to play Dabai, it's just a comparison, but the effect in the eyes of others is different.
Li De thought that Zhang Chuchen was in such a hurry to call him back because Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and just about to go back to the backyard with Zhang Chuchen, he heard the other party say: "Husband, what are you doing, here, my father and mother are still waiting." ”
Li De was a little puzzled, could it be that something had happened in such a hurry.
"Out of the dust, is something happening?"
"I'll explain later." Zhang Chuchen said.
The two walked quickly to their parents' backyard, where everyone was there.
"De'er, you can come back." Mother Zheng hurriedly said.
"Is mother okay?" Li De asked.
Father Li was just about to speak, but Li De continued: "Father is fine." ”
The greeting was not answered, and the atmosphere of the family was not very right, so he asked, "What happened?" ”
"You came back just in time, let Lanling tell you." Father Li said.
"Lanling, is there something wrong with the medical hall?" Li De asked.
"No, it's the imperial brother who wants to take me back to Chang'an to worship my ancestors, and according to the usual practice, my husband has to accompany me, and now I just don't know what to do, whether to go or not." Lanling Road.
Royal sacrifices have always been a major event, and going to Chang'an, judging from the current development situation in Youzhou, if Emperor Yang of Sui is dissatisfied, it is very likely that he will not be able to come back.
Li De now knows why the atmosphere of the family is not right, and whoever is in his position has to be considered.
"Father has an idea?" Li De asked.
"The royal sacrifice is very important, Lanling needs to participate as a princess, as for De'er, if you don't go, I'm afraid that if Your Majesty keeps the princess in Chang'an, there will be no way to do it at that time, in my opinion, if you can or not, it's better, but this is a big disrespect to the royal family, and it will affect the reputation very much, so you have to think about it carefully."
Li De agreed with what his father said, didn't Emperor Yang of Sui know that the princess had married into the Li family, and the concubine was just what the people in the court said in name, but in fact the princess was married to the governor of Youzhou.
"Lanling, do you want to go back?" Li De asked.
Although Princess Lanling said that she would follow Li De wherever she was, Chang'an is after all the place where she grew up and Chang'an is Chang'an after all, even if Youzhou's current prosperity has surpassed Chang'an, but there are still local feelings.
When Li De saw Lan Ling hesitating, he knew that she was in a dilemma, and it was up to him whether she went or not.
"Don't worry, it's been four years since I left Chang'an, so why don't you go since Your Majesty invited you."
"Husband, but will it be dangerous if you go to Chang'an?"
Lanling hesitated, but he did not forget that the relationship between Li De and Emperor Yang of Sui was not really harmonious.
Going to Chang'an is bound to be dangerous, and Lanling really doesn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, the vanguard won't have a problem." Li De said, but he didn't think so in his heart, if it was replaced, he would definitely leave people in Chang'an.
Don't look at the Youzhou soldiers are strong and strong, but as long as there are hostages in hand, they will not cause the vanguard to attack.
Li De agreed not because he was sure, but Chang'an was the capital of the Sui State, not a Youzhou that could be compared with the sixteen states of Youji.
Just like in the future, when Li Yuan fights the world, it is because he occupies Chang'an, which is equivalent to half of the success.
Li De wanted to return to Chang'an for nothing else, although the industry of Longqingfang was in the hands of Ding Lao, the construction never stopped, and the four years should have been completed according to the progress of the project.
Longqingfang, which has been empty for a year, really wants to go back and take a look.
Li De settled the matter, and the family was not so entangled, the next thing was to find a way to deal with it, and after eating a sumptuous dinner, they returned to their respective courtyards.
After returning to the small courtyard, Xiao Mei and Xuanhua went back to the room first, after all, their situation in this family was a little special, and then they heard Zhang Chuchen ask, they were all concerned about his life during this time.
As the eldest lady, Pei Qingxuan is the most stable, and the joy on her face can be seen, but as a big lady, her reserve shows a good upbringing.
