Princess Mingzhu entered the territory of Tibet, anxious, knowing that at her own pace, if she wanted to reach distant Lhasa, it was probably already time for spring to bloom.

She wrote a letter and handed it to the commander of the local garrison, who sent someone to Lhasa to report the news.

East Palace.

The new Qinghai County Wang Nuo Hao came to resign to Li Su. He said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace to the minister, who has come to bid you farewell.

The minister has lived in Chang'an for so long, and Chang'an is so prosperous, and the minister is now happy and forgetful. ”

Li Su smiled and said: "King Nuo Bo County, don't say anything else, your Chinese has improved a lot, and you are becoming more and more fluent."

However, the word 'happy and unthinkable' is not used well, you are not the Adou who can only eat, drink and have fun, the Tang Dynasty needs you to defend one side, and the next step is to let you expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty. ”

Nuo Haobo said: "Your Majesty, is it going to move troops to Tibet?" ”

"Yes, exactly." Li Su said.

"Great, Tubo and the minister are mortal enemies, conquer Tubo, and the minister is willing to fight for the emperor!" Noho said.

Li Su said: "Tuyuhun is the most important direction of attacking Tubo, you have long-term experience in fighting against Tubo, this time, you have to play an important role."

I appointed you as the deputy marshal of the Tibetan war, and the specific matters were arranged by Marshal Su Dingfang. Li Su said.

"Then go back and prepare. Your Majesty, the county palace you gave to the minister is very magnificent, and the minister likes it very much.

The minister has a reluctant request, can you go to the minister's house as a guest, let the minister do his best to be a landlord, thank the emperor for his grace to the minister, and at the same time, it can be regarded as seeing off the minister from Chang'an? Nuo Haobo said.

"Okay, but I don't want you to find a chef in Chang'an, I'm tired of eating the food here, so you can make your Tuyuhun specialties and let me taste a different flavor." Li Yu readily agreed.

"The minister will take his leave, and tomorrow for dinner, I will go to the minister's place to eat, do you think it's okay?" Noho asked.

"Okay, that's it, I'll be at your house on time at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Li Su said.

"The minister is waiting for you." After Nuo Haobo finished speaking, he took his leave and left.

That night, Shiratori Tomokako finally waited for the news from Nuo Haobo, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and came to Li Ke.

"Lord Wang, the concubine wants you to go to the concubine tonight, and the concubine has something to say to you." Shiratori Tomokako said. ”

"Okay, okay." Li Ke said repeatedly.

This was the first time Bai Yun took the initiative to ask Li Ke to go to her, and Li Ke couldn't help but be a little excited. Originally, he was scheduled to go to another concubine's room tonight, but now he can't take care of it.

That night, Bai Bird Zhixiangzi worked very hard, and the whole body served by Li Ke was comfortable, and he wanted to die.

Bai Bird Zhixiangzi leaned her pretty face on Li Ke's chest and said, "Lord, the concubine is going home for dinner tomorrow night, you can go with me." ”

Li Ke, who was satisfied, agreed and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”

Shiratori Zhikako said: "The concubine still wants to go shopping, by the way buy some gifts for my uncle, let's leave a little early tomorrow afternoon, you accompany me to buy something first, okay?" ”

Li Ke said: "No problem, I promise you, I won't go to work tomorrow afternoon, and I will accompany you." ”

"Thank you." Shiratori Tomokako said.

"How thanks? Is it just a small talk? Li Ke laughed.

"You're such a greedy ghost, you just ...... And now again. Tomokako Hakutori said shyly.

"Come on, beauty......" Li Ke said.

The bedroom is beautiful.

In the evening of the same day, the East Palace.

Qibi Wuyun lay beside Li Su, tilted his chin and said: "Husband, the East Palace is a little too small, and it's good for sisters to get together, but now that most people have children, some things are not very convenient."

Let's see, can our existing palace be expanded and build more rooms? ”

Li Su nodded and said, "Wuyun, do you feel a little wronged." The palace is so big, Chang'an City is very crowded now, and it is impossible for the palace to expand again, so you can only think of a way in the East Palace.

Your opinion is very good, we have a large open space around us, close to our palace, build some houses, can accommodate many more people, this matter is up to you. ”

Li Su refused to move out of the East Palace, not only to take care of Li Shimin's wife and concubines and children, but also to set an example for the residents of Chang'an City.

With the increasing prosperity of Chang'an City, a large number of people have poured in, and the urban area has become increasingly crowded, and various disputes around real estate have also appeared in large numbers.

As an emperor, Li Su did not occupy much land and did not expand the palace, so he set an example for those powerful people.

However, this is only a stopgap measure. Li Su has instructed the Ministry of Industry to begin the expansion plan of Chang'an City, planning to expand new residential and commercial areas in the east and west of Chang'an City, relying on the old city wall, after the completion of the first phase of the expansion project, Chang'an City can accommodate at least 700,000 more people, temporarily can meet the needs of the existing population.

"I wanted to expand the back and west sides of our existing palace to try not to occupy the garden and leave room for the children to play. ”

Li Su said: "No problem, you can do everything." ”

The next morning, the 14th square in the south of Chang'an City.

The owner of this house is the uncle of Tomokako Shiratori's deceased husband, and the family has been in business in Chang'an City for decades. The arrival of Tomoko Shiratori and the others this time broke their peaceful life for many years and involved them in dangerous conspiracy events.

In a secret room, the owners here, Tatsuyoshi Tanaka, Nao Sato, and Shimada, the prince of Japanese slaves, are planning the assassination operation this evening.

Nao Sato said: "All of our people have arrived, plus the people brought by His Highness Shimada, and Uncle Tanaka's people, a total of 67 samurai, this is all our strength."

However, the Tang Dynasty Dog Emperor prides himself on being close to the people, and he is in Chang'an City, and his entourage is no more than 20 people. ”

Shimada said, "Uncle Tanaka, your family is settled, right?" ”

Tanaka Tsuyoshi said: "His Royal Highness Xie cares, they have all moved to the countryside. ”

Shimada said: "Otherwise, you should not participate in this operation, you are old, and you still have a large family to take care of." ”

Tanaka Tsuyoshi said: "Your Highness, don't look at my age, but I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my kung fu has not been put down.

My parents and brothers and sisters all died at the hands of the Tang people, and the country was ruined, and this revenge must be avenged. I must participate in this assassination operation, so please don't dissuade me. ”

Nao Sato said, "Okay, then let's talk about the specific action plan for the afternoon." ”
