Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

"However, although he doesn't look like a man, he is a wise gentleman."

Not like a man, but a wise man?

Li Shimin had never heard such a novel comment. Since he took the throne, he has worked hard and conscientiously, reviewing memorials every day until late at night, always reminding himself to be a good emperor.

Yang Zhuo's Mingjun, he thinks he can afford this praise.

As for saying that he doesn't look like a man...

Well, on this issue, he will take Yang Zhuo's suggestion and announce the truth to the world, so as not to be used by those who want to spread rumors.

Li Shimin looked at Yang Zhuo with burning eyes, as if he hated seeing each other late, he secretly sighed in his heart, the young man in front of him is afraid that no one in Tang Dynasty can match his talent and courage.

Lu Yun, who was sitting on one side, was always worried whether Li Shimin would give him a gesture to kill Yang Zhuo with a knife in his hand.

Watching Li Shimin's expression change from tense to relaxed, and then to a slight smile.

Lu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly, he didn't want to kill Yang Zhuo, after all, it's soft to eat other people's mouths.

However, Lu Yun still admired Yang Zhuo, the emperor dared to touch Ni Lin boldly, he was really not afraid of beheading.

"Brother Yang Zhuo, why don't you join the court as an official if you have a plan? Li Er is now at the time of employing people, and he is thirsty for talents. His talents and learning will definitely be reused!" Li Shimin still did not give up, and tried again. Yang Zhuo said.

Li Shimin would not easily miss such a rare talent in a thousand years!

Just now, Yang Zhuo's disaster relief responsibility system and work-for-relief is simply a great strategy!
"I'm not going to be a sub-officer, but a manor owner. Isn't he good?"

"Besides, the Tang Dynasty now implements the Nine-Rank Official Personnel Law. Everyone in the imperial court is elected by aristocratic families. If I squeeze in as an unknown person, won't I be squeezed out to death?"

Yang Zhuo shook his head and firmly refused.

Now, he owns a manor the size of a small county town. There are many farmers in the manor. There are money and food in the warehouse, and countless cattle and sheep are raised in the barn.

Planting the land every day, teasing Xiaoman, how cool are these days?
Moreover, the current Tang Dynasty has not yet implemented the imperial examination system, and the government is controlled by the aristocratic family. The so-called change of dynasty is nothing more than changing the emperor, and the ministers are still those. It is said that the emperor’s world is actually the world of the aristocratic family. .

Li Shimin was speechless after hearing Yang Zhuo's words.

What Yang Zhuo said is very true!The current government is indeed dominated by aristocratic families.

This is also a headache that Li Shimin encountered after he ascended the throne.

Every time he wanted to make a decision, he was always constrained by ministers, and Li Shimin was not the kind of person who was willing to be manipulated by others, so he wanted to change a long time ago.

However, the nine-rank official personnel law has been implemented for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to change it for a while.

It's just that Yang Zhuo was a little drunk and tired at the moment, he stretched his muscles, waved his hands and said: "Yes, there is another one, but I'm a little sleepy, if you want to hear it, come to Yangjiazhuang next time, we will Talk slowly."

"The reception is not good, please forgive me, I will go to rest first, you can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Yang Zhuo got up, pulled Xiaoman, hooked Xiaoman's chin, and said with a smile: "I just ate beef, and I'm very dry now, I need to vent my anger quickly."

Xiaoman understood, his face was flushed, and he said in a low voice: "Young master, I hate it."

Li Shimin:  …

Lu Yun: ...

"Brother Yang Zhuo, thank you for your hospitality today, we won't bother you any more." Li Shimin looked at the sky, it was time to go back, he got up and said.

"Where is it, as long as you don't dislike it, you can still come to my place next time. Beef and fine wine are enough." Yang Zhuo said.

When Li Shimin heard the word beef, the corners of his lips twitched, and he was slapped in the face again.

Although he promulgated the prohibition of killing cattle, but... this beef is really... delicious!
"Old Zhang, send Lao Li and the others off."

"Yes, son."

Lao Zhang sent Li Shimin and Lu Yun out of the manor.

As soon as they left the manor, they saw a big yellow dog tied to the gate of the manor.

An old man was holding a bowl of mutton and handing it to the big yellow dog.

"This big yellow dog actually eats mutton?"

"This dog has been a very picky eater recently, and he still doesn't want to eat the overnight mutton."

The old man rambled.

Li Shimin and Lu Yun were extremely surprised!

"In this snowstorm and famine season, the common people can't even drink porridge, and you actually feed the watchdog mutton!" Lu Yun was angry and jealous.

He is Li Shimin's personal secret guard, and his usual treatment is no worse than that of an important official in the court, but he can't have meat every day!

Even for Li Shimin, it is difficult to eat every meal!

However, this watchdog of Yang Zhuo's family actually ate such mutton for a meal, and he was so picky that he didn't eat it overnight?

Outrageous!

"At first glance, you are foreigners. You don't understand the market in our Yangjiazhuang. Every household in our family raises a herd of cattle and sheep. If you don't eat them, why do you keep them?"

"It takes a long time to kill a sheep. We are all tired of eating, so we give it to the big yellow dog."

Li Shimin was shocked again. Every household has herds of cattle and sheep?Tired of eating meat?

Looking around in this Yangjiazhuang, there are at least a thousand farmers. How many cattle and sheep should there be?

It can afford to raise flocks of cattle and sheep, and every household has them!

One can imagine how rich this manor is!

out of the manor.

Lu Yun was still brooding over the fact that the watchdog's food was better than that of his first-class guards just now.

"Your Majesty, did we just arrive at Xanadu?"

"It's really a surprise!" Li Shimin said with emotion.

What he heard and saw today surprised him so much!

"Go! Go back to the palace!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin and Lu Yun rode the horses sent by Yang Zhuo and ran towards Chang'an City.

……

Tai Chi Temple.

A woman with a graceful posture and a dignified appearance was pacing back and forth in the hall with frowning eyebrows.

This person is Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun was looking anxiously at the gate of the main hall.

At this time, Li Junxian, the commander of the forbidden army, came to report in a hurry.

"How is it? Have you found the emperor?" Empress Changsun asked anxiously.

Li Junxian shook his head: "The entire Chang'an City has been searched, and even the surrounding counties have been searched, but the emperor has not been seen."

"What should I do!" Empress Changsun frowned.

Empress Changsun's concerns were not unreasonable.

Not long after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the foundation of the entire Tang Dynasty is not yet stable. The remnants of the previous dynasty and Li Jiancheng's supporters are all dormant among the people!Waiting in the wings!
In addition, there was a snowstorm, and the people suffered unspeakably. According to folklore, it was said that Li Shimin had been punished by heaven, and there were many people who resented Li Shimin.

"Li Junxian! No matter what method you use, I must find the emperor!" Empress Changsun ordered with a frown.

Li Junxian was well aware of the serious relationship between them, and said solemnly: "This humble minister leads the decree!"

Just as Li Junxian stepped down, the court lady Hongyu came to report.

"The emperor has returned to the palace! The emperor has returned to the palace!"

When Empress Changsun heard that Li Shimin had returned to the palace, the big stone in her heart fell to the ground instantly.

She let out a long sigh, just come back!

At the same time, Li Shimin was walking towards the main hall with a heroic posture and a spring breeze on his face.
