There can be no other, except a hot kang can't be missing.

The winter in Chang'an is cold, even more Huaiyang, how can you do it without a hot kang? What's more, there are too many good memories on the hot kang in Huaiyang.

Fortunately, Lu Tong was attentive and prepared early, and Xie Yi was quite satisfied with this. After a few more words of explanation with Lu Tong, he hurried to the corner gate, where the carriage had already stopped.

Huaiyang's nurse Pingniang also moved to Chang'an with Lu Tong's family, her husband worked in a commercial bank, and she stayed in the Xie family as a servant. Ping Niang took the initiative to step forward and hug Xiaoman, and helped Du Shi, who had not recovered from his injury, to get out of the car.

Although there were wooden bench steps, it was still a bit high, Xie Yi was not very relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Du Shi Heng and walked directly to the inner courtyard.

In front of outsiders, Du Shi blushed slightly, somewhat embarrassed.

Ping Niang saw a similar scene when she was in Huaiyang, and she was not surprised for a long time. She knows a truth very well, as a servant, you should never judge the actions of your master, let alone make irresponsible remarks, and it is best to "turn a blind eye" often, otherwise the end will be miserable.

What's more, from the perspective of a bystander, this is clearly a pair of young people. When you are poor, you are wet, and when you are rich, you and I are still together, how good!

Xie Yi carried Du Shi into the east room of the middle courtyard, the hot kang was just right, and the thick blanket and bedding were spread on it, which was just right for Du Shi to sleep and recuperate.

"Look, do you like it?"

Du Shi looked up and felt that the layout of the entire room was exactly the same as that of the old mansion in Huaiyang. Not only is it exactly the same hot kang, but even the two candlesticks under the window are exactly the same, only two red candles are lit, which is the beautiful but regretful night before parting.

"San Lang ......" Du Shi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, it could be seen that Xie Yi was deliberately attentive, and it seemed that what he wanted was also ......

"Okay, lie down obediently to recuperate, and when the wound is completely healed, I'll take you out for a walk and take a good look at the prosperity of Chang'an." Xie Yi said with a smile: "By the way, I will also take you to Sun Shenxian to have a look, replenish blood and qi, and regulate the body!" ”

After a few words, Du Shi rested on the couch, and Xie Yi left happily, a rare pure and good young man......

……

After Li Shimin paid tribute to the ancestors of heaven and earth, he set off back to Taiji Palace and went straight to Chengqing Palace.

On the first day of returning from the Eastern Tour, a few were a little busy, and a group of important ministers were immediately summoned to the Chengqing Palace. For example, the crown prince Li Chengqian, Sikong Changsun Wuji, Zhongshu Shilang Cen Wenwen, Fang Xuanling, who accompanied the companion, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, were also among them.

"You've worked hard these days in my absence!" There is no doubt that His Majesty Li Er's words were addressed to the eldest grandson Wuji and Cen Wenwen.

Although it is said that the crown prince Li Chengqian is in charge of the country, in fact, it is inseparable from the work of these two assistants. Cen Wenwen sits in charge of the Zhongshu to ensure that the three provinces and six departments operate as usual, while the eldest grandson Wuji is more like the mainstay, ensuring that Chang'an is calm.

"Your Majesty is serious, this is the duty of a minister." The eldest grandson Wuji and Cen Wenwen spoke in unison.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Hey, don't be modest, Cheng Qian is young, and you have to worry more about the affairs of the court and politics." ”

Cen Wenwen bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart and diligent, and he does things properly, and the minister is just helping from the side!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Shimin said with a smile: "Cheng Qian, did you hear it, Cen Shilang is praising you!" ”

"Where?" Li Chengqian said cautiously: "The ministers don't dare to be negligent, but the ministers are young and inexperienced, thanks to the guidance and assistance of Uncle Cen and Cen Shilang, they can deal with it calmly." ”

"It's good to know modesty!" Li Shimin said leisurely: "But you don't have to be modest, there are copies of the official documents and recitals of the three provinces and six ministries sent to Luoyang, I have read them all, I am quite diligent, and I have to do things properly, not bad!" ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's heart suddenly burst into joy, but he was still modest on the surface: "My father has praised me falsely, and my sons and daughters have deeply felt that their knowledge and political experience are insufficient, and they still need to learn more from their father, read more, and ask for more benefits." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said with relief: "Okay, then you work harder, after I finish reviewing the recital every day, I will let people send more to the East Palace, you are good to study." ”

In the Chengqing Palace, there was a sudden scene of father's kindness and filial piety, and the tacit understanding of the monarch and the minister, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, was a little uncomfortable in his heart. The auxiliary ministers praised, the father praised the emperor, and the prince was adding points, where did others still have a chance? I feel that I have been busy in Luoyang for most of the day, and it seems that there is no direct effect, it is really ......

Over there, Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "My father's eastern tour was already hard, and he encountered floods and assassinations, and his sons were really worried. ”

Li Shimin's brows moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, it's all over, thanks to Huaiyang's Xie Yi, who first offered good seeds and then stepped forward to save the driver, saving a lot of trouble!" ”

Xie Yi!

Hearing this name, everyone in the Chengqing Hall was moved, Li Chengqian remembered the words of Su Gan Chengji, but Li Tai was inexplicably angry in his heart......

"How is the crown princess in health?" Li Shimin did not forget to ask about his daughter-in-law's body and care about the eldest grandson (daughter) in his belly.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "There is Lao Father's Emperor to remember, the Su family is five months pregnant, and everything is fine now!" ”

"Well, let the imperial doctor and the palace people take care of it properly, be careful."

"Yes!" Li Chengqian happily accepted the order, regardless of whether he had feelings for the Su family or not, but he attached great importance to the son in his womb.

……

Everyone retired one after another, but the eldest grandson Wuji was left behind, and no one was surprised by what was expected!

The eldest grandson Wuji is an important minister from the Qin Palace, and he is also the eldest brother of His Majesty Li Er, and he has the affection of a young acquaintance, and his status and influence in Li Shimin's heart are not comparable to others, and he is also the most trusted. Even if it is Fang Xuanling, I am afraid it is slightly inferior.

"Auxiliary, it's been half a year...... How is everything going in Guanzhong? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's heart moved, and he replied: "It's good, there is no chaos." ”

"That's good, you bother." Li Shimin comprehended, and immediately asked: "Auxiliary, these days... How about Cheng Qian? ”

I just praised the prince, and at this time, I asked again, which is obviously quite meaningful. The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is diligent, the government affairs are handled properly, and there are a few things that are still done beautifully. ”

"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded: "That's all?" You can't spoil your nephew too much, it's easy to spoil him. ”

"Your Majesty......" The eldest grandson Wuji was suddenly speechless.

Li Shimin said leisurely: "Cheng Qian seems to have gotten quite close to some courtiers in the past two years...... There is a thousand cows in the East Palace, named Helan Chushi, do you know? Hou Junji's son-in-law deliberately took leave some time ago and went to Chenzhou to fulfill his filial piety. ”

"Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji's heart was shocked, and he said: "Your Majesty, don't be too careful, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no other thoughts." ”

"Well, I'm just talking, I'm afraid this kid has gone astray." Although Li Shimin understated it, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart was not so calm. Raised high and gently lowered, this ......

Li Shimin changed his words and asked, "What's the important thing lately?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji retracted his heart and replied: "No, the most important thing is not, but there are two things that can only ask Your Majesty to make an idea!" ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "One is that there are courtiers playing, the Holy Empress Wendeshun has been dead for more than a year, the middle palace is empty, and it cannot be hung for a long time, please Your Majesty will stand up as soon as possible." ”

"Really? Wei Yuancheng is looking for someone to play? ”

"This ...... The minister didn't know, the music was all taken care of by Cen Wen, and the minister didn't ask. ”

"So, what do you think about this matter?"

The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Other things, if Your Majesty has any inquiries, the minister will know everything, but this matter is ...... It is inconvenient for the minister to say more. ”

"Okay, you're an auxiliary!" Li Shimin scolded with a smile, his eyebrows suddenly darkened, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It is the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple that is playing, saying that Your Majesty is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, please accept concubines, enrich **, and extend the heirs." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but blush, frowned, and said, "Why are all these things?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others can help deal with it, but these two matters can only be decided by Your Majesty."

"Then I ask you, what do you think of these two things? I know that there are some things that you can't say more, and I only ask you about your priorities? ”

"This..."The eldest grandson Wuji said helplessly: "It depends on what Your Majesty plans, if Your Majesty attaches importance to the former, then the two things should be paid equal attention and handled as soon as possible."

On the contrary, the minister thought that His Majesty should postpone the latter...... Your Majesty has been away from Beijing for a long time, and you must have missed Your Majesty very much. ”

Li Shimin frowned a few times, and scolded with a smile again: "Auxiliary, you have also started to play tricks with me?" ”

"Don't dare!" The eldest grandson Wuji was very helpless, originally the conversation between old men could be very straightforward, so it didn't matter what it was.

But the person in front of him is the emperor or his brother-in-law, what can he say? You can't lose your manners in front of you, and leave any explicit words on your daily notes, which will become a stain for thousands of years, right?

But the facts are all there, I haven't seen the sky for almost a year, and there is no rain and dew, and the concubines in the palace are almost all resentful women. Ordinary low-level concubines are just that, there are famous and some with family backgrounds, such as the four concubines of Guishu and virtuous, if they don't moisturize it in time, they will directly accept new favorites, and the harem must not be turned upside down?

Li Shimin naturally understood, and said leisurely: "For the position of the middle palace, who is qualified except for Guanyin?" As for the matter of accepting a concubine, I can't take care of it now, so let's postpone it until the beginning of spring next year! ”
