Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Getting into the carriage, he found that Di Zhixun was there, and Chai Lingwu greeted him with a smile.

"Yo, the little guy is here too!"

Di Renjie, who turned one year old, was crawling around in the carriage.

After a while, he was riding on Chai Lingwu's head, giggling.

"Jie, come down!"

Di Zhixun's face darkened, and he taught.

Chai Lingwu took the little guy down and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so strict with the child?"

He conjured up a piece of lactose and stuffed it into the little guy's mouth.

"How did you bring him?"

Di Zhixun took out his handkerchief, wiped the little guy's mouth, and said, "It's almost my mother's birthday. Zhuo Jing had some friendship with my mother back then, so I specially asked me to take my son to have a look."

Han Tong on the side said enviously: "It won't be long before your second child will be born, right?"

Di Zhixun nodded and said, "About about a year or so, otherwise, Zhuo Jing should enter the palace in person to greet the empress."

Chai Lingwu was teasing the little guy with a smile, but his face suddenly became much darker.

"My Lady's birthday last year seemed to be just around the corner, but the current situation is very different."

Chapter 907 This Has Almost Became a Standard Equipment for Datang Officials

Sometimes, time is slow, sometimes very fast.

In the past two years, too many things have happened. The world of Tang Dynasty has been turned upside down several times.

The order seems to be different from the original.

No more beggars were seen inside or outside the city.

People with hands and feet can support themselves and the whole family, and those with a little brain don't have to worry about where the money comes from.

On Suzaku Street, it was horribly clean.

Good habits are all passed down from Twelve Squares.

Today's real estate department has a tendency to be promoted throughout the city.

The curfew was opened an hour earlier than before.

In the past, when officials went to the court, they had to take the certificate issued by the court and invite the order of the workshop to open the gate of the workshop before they could pass.

Not anymore.

As soon as he went out, the people outside were already confused.

cheese, white bun, sugar man

Only unexpected, nothing impossible to buy.

Everything has become a habit.

It's as if the common people have long been accustomed to the fact that the Supreme Emperor does not live in the palace, but lives in the Liu family.

Looking back at the past, one can suddenly discover that the time for such a huge change is not long.

It has only been three years since His Majesty ascended the throne.

The emperor in the prime of life, the ambitious ministers, the soldiers with fighting spirit, the thriving business, and the people who live and work in peace and contentment constitute a complete Tang Dynasty.

He ordered the carriage to stop casually, closed the curtain, and bought two big meat buns from the old woman carrying a small basket.

Chai Lingwu broke open one and left the stuffing to dry, planning to share it with Di Renjie to taste later.

The baby in Guanzhong was weaned early, and the little guy was at the stage where he wanted to try everything.

After another year or a half, you should give some big bones and sticks to gnaw on, and practice your bite strength.

It's not bad to go out and fight.

"After the empress's birthday, it's time to celebrate the New Year. What are your plans?"

Chai Lingwu swallowed the bun in twos and said vaguely.

According to the practice of previous years, it is time to rest in late December.

The officials in Chang'an have no other tasks except to pay New Year's greetings to His Majesty on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As for Chai Lingwu and the others, they only stayed at home for a while on the morning of the first day of the new year.

At dawn, he immediately ran to Liu's house.

Many people, including Han Tong and others, did this.

As an official of the imperial court, it always makes people feel awkward to go to the merchant's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Although a blind person can see what's going on, some things just need a fig leaf.

Not only cover the eyes of others, but also cover your own face.

Now there is no such concern.

With the Supreme Emperor at Liu's house, everything became logical.

No matter who goes, they can use the excuse of honoring their elders.

"Our brothers have the lowest official positions, and we should arrange for this year." Han Tong said with a smile.

We all know that Chinese New Year is a big event.

The only difference is that Liu Bai will definitely not come back this year.

The friendship is not shallow, and everyone discusses how to handle the New Year's affairs.

At the very least, a chief executive must be elected.

Although both Han Tong and Di Zhixun had crossed the threshold of the fourth rank, they were the weakest compared to the people around them.

Chai Lingwu's official position is not high, but he has the title of Marquis, which is the same as the third rank!

"It doesn't matter who is in charge, the main thing is to brighten up the atmosphere. The family, old and young, haven't laughed much these days. Let's take advantage of the Chinese New Year to be lively and lively!"

Chai Lingwu said rather worriedly.

After Liu Bai left, Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen and others all moved back.

Li Tai and the others go there almost every day.

With more people, the atmosphere became more and more dull.

As a result, Chai Lingwu is a little afraid to go now.

Han Tong and Di Zhixun looked at each other, and said: "We also mean the same thing. The two ladies are fine. With a large group of friends, they will never feel lonely. However, the Supreme Emperor is really worrying. Three times, each time is extremely dangerous, if it is not for the superb methods of Sun Shenxian and Li Shenyi."

Chai Lingwu shook his head, and said: "The Supreme Emperor is too worried about Brother Liu, if we hadn't stopped him, he might have gone to Longyou!"

The three chatted and chatted, and the palace arrived.

The weather in November is already quite cold.

Especially when the sky seems to be half-bright, the chill goes straight into the bones of the person.

Fortunately there was a heater in the carriage.

This has almost become the standard configuration of Datang officials.

Before going to court, there is always a period of time to wait.

Nuannuan is alive and well, so he has the physical strength to deal with the bad things in the court.

About a moment later, there were forty or fifty carriages outside the palace.

From Danfengmen to the gate of Liu's house!

Calculating the time, it was almost time for Liu's concierge to open.

Chai Lingwu simply got out of the carriage, walked to the gate, and knocked lightly a few times.

knock knock

hum-

The heavy door opened a gap.

The porter showed half of his head from inside.

"Master Chai!"

Seeing that it was his family, the concierge opened the door a little wider.

Chai Lingwu nodded and led Han Tong and Di Zhixun in.

They did not enter the courtyard, but went to the small house where the porter lived.

At this time, only Mrs. Wan, who was not sleeping well, woke up, and the others were still early.

It's better not to bother them.

The three of them sat in the small room drinking tea to warm up, and three potatoes happened to be baking on the briquette stove.

Chai Lingwu broke open one with a 'hissing haha', tasted it, and immediately pouted at Han Tong and the other two.

Means 'to eat'.

After eating the baked potatoes, while the concierge was refilling tea, Chai Lingwu said, "How is your family?"

The concierge laughed and said, "Young Master Chai, you are busy with military affairs these days. There is no need to run home all day. There are many people looking after our house. His Majesty often sends people to ask questions, and he also rewarded several carts of things."

Speaking of this, the concierge paused, and continued: "However, it can't be said that there is nothing wrong with the family. The old man has been clamoring for the past few days and wants to go back to the old house. The old lady can't let go of the grandchildren in Chang'an City. It's arguing."

The three looked at each other and smiled.

Li Yuan and Mrs. Wan are old couples, it's not normal if they don't quarrel.

Chai Lingwu patted the ashes on his hands, and said: "If you want to go back to the old house, go back. It just so happens that there is still something waiting for me to deal with in Jingyang. After a while, I will pick up the old man and go for a walk. You should report it in advance." !"

"Little understand!"

After the concierge finished speaking, he took the wooden basin and went outside to fetch water.

The three of them ate baked potatoes, their hands were covered in black ashes, and there was a big black mouth ring.

If this face goes to court, even if it is not punished by the etiquette officials, it will be laughed at.

After wiping their faces and hands, the three of them walked out.

The Danfeng Gate had already been opened, and the eunuch's sharp voice could be heard from afar.

The three of them quickly found their own places, and slowly approached the palace following the crowd.

Chapter 908 The saddest thing in this world is to be "shang" by the princess

According to the canon system compiled in the second year of Wude, there is an early court every three days.

This early court is different from the Great Court.

Under normal circumstances, only one official among the prime ministers needs to come to act as the head of the squad.

The emperor may or may not come.

If you don't come, it will be called "Tingyi".

Third-rank ministers at the level of the six ministers didn't want to come, so they just handed over a note to Zhongshu and his subordinates in advance.

The existence of the second official is to run errands for them.

For example, Han Tong, after serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, appeared several times more than Li Daliang, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Usually, it is nothing more than discussing some trivial matters.

As long as it does not involve the fundamentals of the court, it is trivial.

The Dachaohui will be different!

In the former Sui Dynasty, and in the previous dynasties, the grand court meetings were all arranged at the beginning of the year, and of course there were several times at the end of the year.

To put it bluntly, it is the year-end summary, or the encouragement meeting at the beginning of the year.
