The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Jiu Shou, I like your sister very much. Is there anything important to do when you come to Beijing this time? If there is nothing important to do, then stay in Chang'an for a long time. Li Shan, go get the key to the Hou Mansion. Bring it." Li Shimin didn't respond directly, but instead asked Li Shan to get the key to the county marquis's mansion that he had prepared.

Chapter 364 Zhong Kui's Sister Named

Live in Chang'an?

Zhong Wen hadn't thought about it before.

But after sending his little sister to Chang'an, this thought also began to pass through his mind.

As for whether to bring his parents to Chang'an, Zhong Wen basically denied this point.

Zhong Wen may not understand other things, but in the historical changes, the people in the city are definitely the ones who hurt the most. On the contrary, the remote villages far away from the city will be much better.

Zhong Wen couldn't live for thousands of years, and he couldn't protect his own descendants. What he could do was stay away from Chang'an, stay away from the city, and live in a short period of time. That would be no problem.

However, when Zhong Wen heard Li Shimin talk about the Hou Mansion, he began to feel that Li Shimin wanted to stay in Chang'an.

Zhong Wen has no objection to this point.

At least, having his own mansion in Chang'an means he has a place to stay, and he can't run to Huilai guest house every day.

After all, it is a guest house, even if it belongs to oneself, it still needs to do business after all, so you can't just sit and eat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhong Wen did not respond to the matter of staying in Chang'an, but first thanked Li Shimin for giving him a mansion.

"Jiu Shou, this mansion was originally given to you, but it was still under renovation at that time, and it was not handed over to you directly. It just so happens that you can move there when you come back this time." Li Shimin looked at Zhong Wen. Said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Zhong Wen saluted again.

Not long after, Li Shan came over with a huge key and handed it to Zhong Wen.

"Xiao Daochang, this mansion is located in Yongpingfang, very close to Changshoufang. There is no one in the mansion for the time being. I will take Xiaodaochang to see it tomorrow. As for how to arrange the mansion, it is up to you, Xiaodaochang. It's covered." Li Shan pointed out to Zhong Wen after he straightened his body.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration of the nine poems." If you are rewarded, you must thank Li Shimin a lot.

Although, this reward came a bit late, and it was received without my knowledge.

If I had known it before, why would I need to stay in the guest house every day? At least, having such a mansion in Chang'an would be a good thing for me.

How much is a mansion in Chang'an City worth?

Although Zhong Wen had never seen that mansion, he basically knew the prices in Chang'an City.

For a place as big as the Huilai guest house, it would cost nearly several thousand guan, let alone a mansion.

"Brother, where is Yongpingfang? Does it mean that we won't need to live in a dormitory in the future?" At this time, Xiaohua was very interested, and asked.

Whether there are rules or not, in her head, it seems that it does not exist.

"Little sister, there must be rules." Zhong Wen reminded.

Xiaohua heard her brother's reminder, turned her head to look at Li Shimin, and showed a big smile, and then stuck out her tongue again.

Such a cute appearance really made Li Shimin smile.

Li Shimin is used to being serious, and it is almost impossible to see anyone who will show this side, let alone his sons and daughters.

"Jiu Shou, it's okay, come, Xiao Hua, come to me." At this time, Li Shimin waved to Xiao Hua, signaling her to come closer.

Xiaohua looked at her elder brother, then at Li Shimin, and then, without waiting for Zhong Wen's reminder, she walked over directly.

"Your name is Xiaohua. I heard that you don't have a real name, right? You're so old, why haven't you got a real name yet?" Li Shimin asked after seeing Xiaohua approaching, patted Xiaohua's head, and held hands.

"My father and mother never said to give me a name, and my father and mother don't know how to read." Xiaohua said truthfully.

Indeed, even Zhong Wen had forgotten about the name.

All along, it was Xiaohua Xiaohua who called.

Perhaps, in the core of Zhong Wen's family, they all treated Xiao Hua's name as Zhong Hua, and no one thought about other names.

But at this time, Xiao Hua's words really reminded Zhong Wen.

After listening to Xiaohua's words, Zhong Wen was also thinking that after leaving Miyagi today, he would have to give his little sister a name. She is already 12 years old, and without a name, it is really unreasonable.

Besides, Xiao Hua came to Chang'an to study, so could it be that Master Xiao Hua called Xiao Hua every day?Gotta have a big name.

"Well, Jiushou, how about I name your little sister?" Li Shimin asked Zhong Wen after thinking for a while.

"If the Holy Majesty chooses a name for my younger sister, it is of course her blessing. I am afraid that my little sister will be out of temper and spoil the name the Holy Majesty has chosen." After Zhong Wen heard the words, he felt that it didn't matter, and he was careful. replied.

It's just a name, for Zhong Wen, Xiaohua can be called by any name, as long as it is given by the elders, they will basically recognize it.

At this time, Li Shimin said that he wanted to name his little sister, of course it would be the best.

In terms of seniority, Li Shimin is considered his junior, but in terms of status, he is the lord of a country, and he is qualified no matter what.

Moreover, an emperor named a peasant girl. Wherever it is placed, it can be an existence that can glorify the ancestors. Where is it your turn to disagree or refute.

"A farmer's daughter is just grown up, her nature is easy-going and ignorant, her beauty cannot be concealed by the fragrance of goosegrass, she is petite and small, her smile shows her teeth, Meiyun's life, you should be called Zhongli Zhong Meier." Li Shimin looked at her. Xiao Hua in front of her, after thinking for a while, started talking

"Zhong Li, Zhong Mei'er? My name is Zhong Li? Brother, brother, my name is Zhong Li. From now on, don't call me Xiao Hua, but call me Meier." Xiao Hua listened to such a new name from Li Shimin's mouth. , trotted over to Zhong Wen's side excitedly and shouted.

At this time, Zhong Wen was already shocked by Li Shimin's words on the spot.

Zhong Wen may not know anything else, but for the name Zhong Li and Zhong Meier, he is definitely familiar with it.

Zhong Wen had heard the drama of Zhong Kui marrying his sister several times, so he naturally knew the name of Zhong Kui's younger sister. Of course he understood what the name Zhong Li, Zhong Mei'er, meant to him.

Zhong Wen has always claimed that his name is Zhong Kui, but now, Li Shimin named his little sister Zhong Li Zhong Meier, which made him shocked on the spot.

At this time, Zhong Wen was immersed in his own world, thinking, could he really be the Zhong Kui mentioned in the history?

Li Shimin now named his younger sister Zhongli Zhong Meier, and he called himself Zhongkui, and the Daoist name Jiushou, isn't it the same word Kui when added together?

However, Zhong Wen thought that his father's name didn't seem to be Zhong Da, but Zhong Mugen, so there was no connection at all, okay?

Moreover, in terms of appearance, Zhong Wen dare not say that he is very handsome, but he is also quite handsome, and he is not the same as the bearded Zhong Kui at all.

On the other hand, my little sister looks like a little beauty, but she hasn't grown up yet, so it's unpredictable what will happen in the future.

"My lord, can this name be changed?" Zhong Wen suggested to Li Shimin after he realized it.

"Why? Is this a bad name?" Li Shimin was also stunned after hearing the words.

The name he chose himself was considered after careful consideration, otherwise, he would not have given you a name so easily.

"Brother, my name is Zhong Li, and my name is Zhong Meier. I will not change my name." At this moment, Xiao Hua had her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, and she glared at her elder brother.

In fact, Xiaohua's daimyo has been in her heart ever since she learned how to read and study.

Just because the mother in the family has no name, she never mentioned it and kept it deep in her heart.

Now, someone finally mentioned her name, of course she was overjoyed.

What's more, the person who named her is the current emperor.

And Li Shimin looked at the pair of brothers and sisters, feeling very interesting.

Why?

Because of Xiaohua's appearance at the moment, he really didn't know how to describe the brother and sister Zhong Wen.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was carved out of the same mold. This is basically the same as Li Shimin's state when he saw Zhong Wen for the first time.

"Alas." Zhong Wen sighed faintly, really didn't know what to say.

However, according to Zhong Wen's meaning, the name Zhong Li and Zhong Mei'er is just a name, not Zhong Kui's younger sister. As far as this point is concerned, it's okay for Zhong Wen to think about it.

Besides, my father's name is not Zhong Da, but Zhong Li Zhong Meier should be called Zhong Li Zhong Meier.

"Brother, do you agree?" Xiaohua looked at her brother and sighed, she understood in her heart that her name had been confirmed, she happily shook Zhong Wen's hand.

"Okay, pay attention to the rules." Zhong Wen couldn't stand the girl's temper, so he nodded helplessly and reminded him aloud.

After Xiaohua heard this, she quickly put down her hands and stuck out her tongue, like an ignorant girl.

Well, Xiaohua really doesn't know what etiquette is. She is a farm daughter who is used to being wild in the village, and rules and the like basically don't exist in her mind.

But with Zhong Wen's reminder, she also knew that this was the palace, and there was an emperor standing in front of her, no matter how ignorant of the rules, she also knew to restrain herself.

The name is settled, and no one can change anything.

Even if Zhong Wen objects again, it is estimated that not only Li Shimin will be unhappy, but even his little sister will have endless troubles with him.

Having a big name is also a good thing. When the master teaches Xiaohua to study, he can be called a big name, and he won't call Xiaohua Xiaohua every day. He always feels that he is not a sister of a county lord.

As for Li Shimin, why did he shorten the distance between the two parties so much?

It's nothing more than wanting to enclose Zhong Wen in Chang'an.

But at this time, a person approached from outside the palace, and this person was the shadow of the number one expert in the palace.

"Your Majesty, I'm well. I heard that the head of the Nine-song Path is coming, so I came here to take a look." As soon as Ying entered the hall, he saluted Li Shimin.

"Shadow, you came just in time. I was thinking just now that someone will notify you to come here later." After Li Shimin saw the shadow approaching, some words in his heart could be relayed by the shadow to Zhong Wen.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, you are well!" Zhong Wen saw that the person who entered the hall was the shadow, and saluted the shadow to say hello.

Speaking of which, Yingying is the one person Zhong Wen must meet when he comes to Chang'an. After all, Yingying has a lot to say and wants to ask Yingying for advice.

"Master Jiushou Xiaodao, it's rare for you to come to Chang'an, this time you and I must have a good time." Shadow cupped his hands and said.

"Very good, I will accompany you." Zhong Wen looked at the shadow and replied.

Chapter 365 It's hard to refuse

Zhong Wen didn't know why the shadow came over suddenly, maybe it was someone's report.

However, the arrival of the shadow does not affect anything.

As far as Zhong Wen and the others came to the palace city, they were only summoned by Li Shimin, so they could stay in the palace to eat.

Besides, according to the current weather, I can't really stay for dinner.

"Shadow, if you don't have anything to do tomorrow, you can go to Jiushou to sit down." At this time, Li Shimin listened to the conversation between the two, and immediately suggested.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After hearing the words, Shadow saluted, and stopped talking. He stood aside and waited quietly, as if he just came to watch the excitement.

Zhong Wen looked at the state of the shadow and Li Shimin, feeling like he had a bad premonition.

Maybe it's just thinking too much.At this time, Zhong Wen secretly defined himself in his heart, hoping that he did nothing wrong in coming to Chang'an this time.

"Jiu Shou, I heard that the government order you implemented in Lizhou is very effective, can you tell me about it?" At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly asked Zhong Wen about Lizhou.

When Zhong Wen heard that Li Shimin asked about Lizhou, he began to let go of his suspicions, and then responded: "Return to the Holy Lord, I have already handed over the matter of Lizhou. After all, Lizhou is located in a remote place." Each county has different people, and government orders must be issued to be effective, and people who understand the local conditions must be there..."

Following Zhong Wen's response, the topic began to expand.

However, Zhong Wen just put the model of decentralization and decentralization from his previous life into the current Tang Kingdom.

Although, there will inevitably be some movement, but fortunately, it tends to be stable.

Moreover, with the arrival of the drought in Lizhou, the affairs of the counties in Lizhou will inevitably come up. It depends on whether the officials in the counties in Lizhou can cope.

What should be done, Zhong Wen has already done.

Furthermore, if there is a severe drought, other things will inevitably happen. This can basically be affirmed in history.

For example, if there is a severe drought, it will inevitably be accompanied by a plague of locusts.

That's why Zhong Wen asked every household in every county to raise chickens, ducks, geese and the like.

In this era, there are no effective prevention and control methods, so we can only rely on these creatures to exterminate them. If the situation is really beyond control, then at least there are breeding things to survive this disaster year.

"Jiu, although you are the governor of Lizhou, but now you have handed over the post of governor, do you have anyone to recommend?" After Li Shimin heard about it, he had already understood what happened in Lizhou. However, being able to hear Zhong Wen's answer can be regarded as solving the ambiguity in his heart.

As for Zhong Wen's visit to Chang'an this time, Li Shimin didn't want Zhong Wen to leave Chang'an again, so he simply came to Zhong Wen's person about the governor of Lizhou.

"My lord, regarding the governor of Lizhou, I suggest not to set it up for the time being. After a year of trial implementation this year, we will see. If the new decree can't improve the lives of the people, then appoint a new governor at that time." Zhong Zhong Wen doesn't care about the position of governor, but for the current Lizhou, it's better not to move it for the time being.

"Well, I don't want to talk about it for the time being, the governor of Lizhou, but Jiushou, you two brothers and sisters came to Chang'an today, and I like Lingmei very much." After hearing this, Li Shimin also had a certain plan in mind.

The seven counties in Lizhou basically belong to Xiazhou County, and only Miangu County belongs to Zhongzhou. The output is low, and it is close to the border. There are frequent incidents.

But now, thanks to the efforts of Zhong Wen, the new governor, Zhouli has rarely been heard of in the past few months. Perhaps, this is the future of Lizhou.

Li Shimin can feel at ease about the matter in Lizhou. Moreover, with the report from Baiqisi, even if Zhong Wen, the governor, is far away in Chang'an, he can still know the situation in Lizhou.

But right now, Li Shimin started to have other ideas.

"Your Majesty, Shemei is a country girl, and she can't compare to the little ladies from every family in Chang'an. I am so grateful to the Holy Majesty." Zhong Wen felt nervous whenever he heard Li Shimin talk about his little sister.

The choice of the name made him unable to understand, and now, Li Shimin mentioned his little sister again, which really made Zhong Wen feel uneasy.
