The street in front of Suzaku Gate is Suzaku Street.

Suzaku Street is one of the most spacious streets in Chang'an City.

But it's so close to the palace that there are hardly any people here.

The people all stopped a few hundred meters away from the Suzaku Gate, and they did not approach it very tacitly.

Therefore, Fang Yuan and the three of them were quite quiet here, no one approached, and no one drove them away.

"Fang Ling, I heard that you killed Ashina Luoyun with your own hands."

"I really didn't see that you still have that kind of strength, amazing!"

Li Shimin looked Fang Yuan up and down, smiled and said.

He was indeed shocked that Fang Yuan was able to kill Ashina Luoyun.

Ashina Luoyun was a member of the Eastern Turkic royal family and the nephew of Jieli Khan.

I don't know how powerful it is, but it is rumored that he is a fierce general, and the general is not his opponent.

And Fang Yuan, a civil official, seemed to have no kung fu, but he was able to kill the other party with his own hands, which shocked him.

"It's just a fluke."

"Boss Li said as he walked?"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

The other party didn't want to have a showdown identity, so he didn't know.

"Then talk as you go."

Li Shimin nodded and chuckled.

Then the two of them moved and walked in the direction away from Suzaku Gate.

The farther away from Suzaku Gate, the more you can feel the prosperity of Chang'an City.

The flow of people is really not comparable to Liaozhou City, and the people you meet are either rich or expensive.

Here, plainly dressed people are rare, and it is more likely that they are from a certain family.

It's a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"Fang Ling, do you know where the Chang'an County Ya is? Why don't I take you for a walk? ”

Li Shimin said with a smile.

The Chang'an County Ya manages the entire Chang'an County, and the direct person in charge is the emperor.

Therefore, when the county government was set up, it was quite close to the palace, which was convenient for the emperor to summon the other party at any time and know the situation of Chang'an City at any time.

"Then thank you, Boss Li."

Fang Yuan expressed his gratitude.

It's better to have someone lead the way than to ask for directions yourself.

He received his official seal and uniform today, and he will go to work tomorrow.

If Li Shimin can lead the way today, tomorrow you won't have to ask for directions.

"This way, please."

Li Shimin smiled.

Take the lead in one direction.

Fang Yuan and Du Ruyan slowed down for half a beat, glanced at each other, and smiled tacitly.

The two already knew each other's identities, but because the emperor was not ready for a showdown, the two could only act as if they didn't know each other.

Soon, the three of them walked to the gate of the Chang'an County Yamen.

As soon as he arrived at the Yamen of Chang'an County, Fang Yuan was shocked by its atmosphere.

It is more luxurious and atmospheric than the Liaozhou Thorn Mansion, and the area is also larger than the Thorn Mansion.

"This county government is even more atmospheric than my Thorn History Mansion in Liaozhou."

Fang Yuan sighed.

It really deserves to be the imperial capital, everything is different.

A small place really can't be compared with the imperial capital.

"Naturally, after all, it's Chang'an City."

Li Shimin smiled and said.

As an imperial capital, it is natural to have the appearance of an imperial capital.

The heroes of the world, the missions of various countries, etc., will come to Chang'an City.

This is the place where Datang greets the Quartet, and the façade will not be too bad.

Fang Yuan nodded heavily and was about to speak, but at this moment, he saw a middle-aged man in an official uniform coming out of the yamen.

Looking at what he was wearing, it should be the county magistrate of Chang'an County, and when he saw Fang Yuan's side, his body suddenly froze, and he rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

When the situation on this side was determined again, the middle-aged man quickly walked towards Fang Yuan's side.

"Minister Chang'an County Cheng Zheng Mingzhu, meet Your Majesty, meet Du Xiang!"

Cheng Zheng Mingzhu of Chang'an County crossed Fang Yuan and saluted Li Shimin and Du Ruhui.

"Ahem, excuse me!"

Li Shimin coughed dryly and tidied up his clothes slightly.

He looked at Fang Yuan on the side with expectant eyes, waiting for Fang Yuan's changes.

"You, are you the emperor? Are you Du Xiang? ”

Fang Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Shimin and Du Ruhui with a shocked expression.

"Well, yes, I didn't expect that, right?"

Li Shimin's heart blossomed.

Since just now, he has been looking for an opportunity to have a showdown with Fang Yuan.

Although it was not the time for him to want a showdown, it was not a good time.

Seeing Fang Yuan so shocked, Li Shimin was very happy, and he felt a sense of rekindling childlike fun.

"Chen Fangyuan, meet Your Majesty, meet Du Xiang!"

Fang Yuan immediately bowed his head and saluted.

He was worried that he would be exposed to his acting skills if he was stared at by Li Shimin again.

"Hehehehe"

"No courtesy, you're welcome, that's good as before."

Li Shimin laughed.

The mood is happier and happier.

The more shocked Fang Yuan was, the happier he became.

I've endured it for so long, isn't this the time I've been waiting for?

"Next, the lower official Zheng Mingzhu will meet Fang Ling!"

Zheng Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted Fang Yuan.

He was curious about who he was talking and laughing with Li Shimin just now.

Now that he heard Fang Yuan report his name, he immediately knew that it was the new Chang'an Order.

As a county magistrate, he had long known that the Chang'an Order was held by a person named Fang Yuan, and he would take office in these days.

"You should be excused too."

Fang Yuan retracted his ceremonial posture and said to Zheng Mingzhu on the side.

Zheng Mingzhu was already a little confused.

Chang'an Ling has always been the emperor's confidant to take office.

And the new Chang'an Ling didn't even know the emperor, what was the situation?

But judging from the conversation between the two, the two actually knew each other before, but they didn't reveal their identities.

What a great honor it is for the emperor to hide his identity and get along with someone?

For a while, Zheng Mingzhu had a new understanding of Fang Yuan.

"Zheng Mingzhu, you go back first."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Yes."

Zheng Mingzhu should be immediately.

He's just a petty official.

No matter how big the question was in his heart, he didn't dare to ask the emperor.

Or tomorrow after Fang Yuan takes office in Chang'an, it is okay to ask Fang Yuan again.

But judging from today's situation, the relationship between Fang Yuan and the emperor is very unusual.

Soon, Zheng Mingzhu left.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to be the emperor, I really don't want you to cheat so hard."

"If there was any unpleasantness between us before, you wouldn't take it to heart, would you?"

Fang Yuan said as much as he could, keeping a shocked look as he could.

"I'm not the stingy kind of person."

"Fang Yuan, have you ever thought that I am the emperor?"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile.

He is not a stingy person, and he will not remember Fang Yuan's hatred.

However, he was also curious if Fang Yuan had ever doubted his identity.

"No, never thought about it."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said seriously.

"So my acting skills are still very good."

Li Shimin was a little proud, and his expression was a little proud.

He didn't notice that Du Ruhui behind him almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Yes, Your Majesty's acting skills are outstanding, and he is invincible in the world!"

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

A trick rainbow fart is sent.

Li Shimin is very useful, and there is a kind of fluttering.

He turned around and wanted to share his feelings at this time with Du Ruhui.

Just saw that Du Ruhui seemed to be holding back a smile, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.

"What Fang Ling said is good."

"Your Majesty's acting skills are outstanding, invincible in the world!"

Du Ruhui immediately coughed dryly, and said with a straight face.

But the look is somewhat different, a little evasive.

"Really?"

Li Shimin's brows furrowed even deeper.

looked at Fang Yuan, and then at Du Ruhui.

It always felt like there was something hidden from him between the two.

"Seriously!"

Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui nodded solemnly.

The appearance of the two almost speaking in unison made Li Shimin feel even more weird.

"Keming, come on!"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, stared at Du Ruhui and said.

"Huh?"

"Say what?"

Du Ruhui was in no mood to laugh immediately.

He was worried that Li Shimin would find out that Fang Yuan had already known their identities in advance.

Although he had not communicated with Fang Yuan, he did not report it and asked Li Shimin to do what he had just done.

It didn't matter if Fang Yuan didn't know their identities just now, but it would be embarrassing if he already knew their identities in advance.

"For example, I concealed my identity from Fang Yuan!"

Li Shimin looked Du Ruhui up and down, and said in a deep voice.

I have been with Du Ruhui for a long time, and I know that he has something to hide from him.

It's just that what the hell is going on, he can't say, he just thinks it has something to do with Fang Yuan, and it has something to do with Fang Yuan's concealment of his identity and Fang Yuan's friendship.

"No, no."

Du Ruhui was even more uneasy.

It is difficult for him not to panic, because Li Shimin's identity has already been exposed.

For example, Fang Yuan had a close relationship with his daughter, and Fang Yuan had already guessed the identities of the two of them.

For example, Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng also have a good relationship, and it is very likely that they have already guessed the identities of the two because of this.

If Li Shimin inquired carefully, he would know that the identity he thought he had concealed well had already been discovered by Fang Yuan.

However, as an insider, he did not report it, so that if the emperor was angry and angry, he might be embarrassed and scold him.

"No?!"

Li Shimin was even more skeptical.

If not, Du Ruhui would not be like this.

"Fang Yuan, do you know the crime of bullying the king?"

"I ask you, did you know who I am before today?"

Li Shimin squinted, turned his head to stare at Fang Yuan and said.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan sneered.

Li Shimin even said the crime of bullying the king, where did Fang Yuan dare not admit it.

"Then you pretended not to know each other just now?"

Li Shimin's face sank suddenly.

Not only that, but I also felt that my face was hot for a while, and I was very embarrassed.

He also thought that Fang Yuan hadn't guessed his identity, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud and proud.

But he didn't expect that Fang Yuan already knew that he was like a clown just now?

Du Ruhui on the side immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Shimin, worried that Li Shimin would be angry and blame the two.

"Isn't this for Your Majesty's sake?"

"Your Majesty has the intention to conceal it, and the courtiers can't reveal it, right?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

is really a companion to the king, and he has to take care of the emperor's emotions at all times.

"Humph!"

"Keming, what about you?"

"What are you for?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, looked at Du Ruhui and said.

"The minister is not sure if Fang Yuan knows, the minister is just guessing, so he doesn't dare to say."

Du Ruhui also sneered.

"When did you start guessing?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He is also a thick-skinned person, and he can't be guilty of this matter and punish the two of them with shame and anger.

After all, one is the prime minister who is most loyal to him, and the other is his Ying Mengxian minister, and both of them are very important people to him.

Naturally, if someone else deceived him like this, maybe it might really be a crime of deception.

"It seems that when Miao Yan confessed her identity to Fang Yuan, Lao Chen forgot."

Du Ruyan sneered.

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing dryly a few times, and then coughing heavily.

His health has always been very bad, his face turned red after a few coughs, and he coughed so much that his chest was close to his back, and his saliva was dripping.

"Alright, alright, I don't blame you."

Li Shimin said speechlessly.

Go down this stairs as well.

Otherwise, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get down the stairs.

After all, after thinking about it, it was really embarrassing just now, and I blushed when I thought about it.

"The minister knows, cough cough cough"

Du Ruhui waved his hand.

But I still can't stop coughing.

He held his knee with one hand and his chest with the other.

Coughing again and again, getting worse and worse, it felt like my lungs were going to cough out.

"Du Xiang, are you okay?"

At first, Fang Yuan thought that Du Ruhui was going down to Li Shimin.

But looking at his appearance, I couldn't help but remember that his health had not been good, and hurriedly supported him.

Seeing this, Li Shimin on the side couldn't take care of the embarrassment just now, and looked at Du Ruhui worriedly, wanting to call someone.

"I'm fine!"

"It's just a small problem, I'll be fine later."

Du Ruhui shook his head, covered his mouth and forced himself to cough.

After a long while, he finally stopped coughing violently, but his face turned a little purple.

"Du Xiang, I hope you can take a leave of absence to recuperate for a while."

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui worriedly and said in a deep voice.

It pained him to see his loyal courtiers suffering from illness.

"Your Majesty, now that the war between the two countries has not yet come to fruition, how can the minister rest in peace?"

Du Ruhui shook his head and said firmly.

Now, the Great Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turkic War have come to an end.

Looking at the overall situation, since Li Ke exterminated the Eastern Turkic cavalry, victory has already belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

But just looking at the battle situation, I am afraid that the real victory will be officially determined in about a month.

"You, alas."

Li Shimin was angry and moved.

But in the end there was only a long sigh.

Now he and the court are inseparable from Du Ruhui's support.

Because Du Ruhui sat firmly in the position of the right servant, Pei Lin could not be in power.

If Du Ruhui is not there, it is difficult to say who will take over the position of the right servant, let alone resist with those big families.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister is fine."

Du Ruhui smiled and said.

Fang Yuan on the side looked at it and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Fang Yuan knew the history and knew that Du Ru Zhenguan died about four years ago.

It is now the seventh month of the third year of Zhenguan, and he does not have much time.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan wanted to lend a helping hand to Du Ruhui, but there was nothing he could do.

Maybe the divine doctor Sun Simiao has the ability to save, but unfortunately, this person is ethereal, has no fixed place, and cannot be found.

"I don't talk about you, I just hope you can take good care of your body."

"Fang Yuan, I won't talk to you anymore, Chang'an City will be handed over to you in the future, if there is anything that can't be solved, you can go directly to the palace to find me!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

He cared about Du Ruhui very much, but he also knew that Du Ruhui couldn't rest now.

Therefore, after Fang Yuan exterminated the Eastern Turkic Thousand Cavalry, Li Shimin thought of transferring Fang Yuan to Chang'an City.

Fang Yuan, as his own Ying Mengxian minister, will definitely be able to assist him and share the heavy responsibility of Du Ruhui, and Chang'an City will be better controlled in his own hands.

After a long time, the higher your prestige and the stronger your control, you will take Chang'an City as the center, radiate outward, control more places, and truly dominate the world.

Instead of being like now, many courtiers have different hearts, are loyal to the monarch on the surface, secretly scold themselves for being wrong, and regard the clan law as higher than the national law, which he can't bear.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Fang Yuan's heart froze, and he was right.

With Li Shimin's words, you can walk sideways in Chang'an City in the future.

"Keming, let's go back."

Li Shimin nodded heavily and said in a deep voice.

He believed in Fang Yuan and believed that Fang Yuan could govern Chang'an City well.

But relatively speaking, Fang Yuan will not be very smooth in Chang'an City.

Some families in Chang'an City, such as the Hedong Pei family, the Lanling Xiao family, the Boling Cui family, and several others already have grievances with Fang Yuan.

With Fang Yuan's appearance, they would definitely retaliate, and they would definitely not let Fang Yuan sit in Chang'anling's position easily.

Fang Yuan saluted Li Shimin and Du Ruhui, and watched the two of them enter the Vermilion Bird Gate before leaving.

Looking at the bustling Chang'an City, Fang Yuan took a deep breath, and his mood was inevitably excited.

From now on, this is your home base.

In the past, it was difficult to invent something because the time was too short, but now you can invent it with confidence!
