Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Liu Laosan stood at the gate of his courtyard and watched for a long time, until the lunch day was about to pass, Liu Laosan shook his shoulders, made the sheepskin jacket on his body tighter, and he was ready to go back.

He never told anyone what he was waiting for, but he always remembered what His Highness said three years ago.

It's just that His Highness didn't come in the second year, and went to Qinghai Prefecture in the third year, but Liu Laosan never complained.

Who is Your Highness?That is the savior of all of them, and it is not an exaggeration to be their reborn parents.

Everyone in their family can be said to have been saved by His Highness.

What's more, His Highness is now in charge of all affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and I heard that Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and any queen country in Nanyang are bullying my Tang people and are fighting against them.

It is certain that His Highness does not have time, and Liu Laosan has never said anything.

In the first year, people from other villages came to ask Liu Laosan whether it was true that His Highness said that the Chinese New Year was coming.

Liu Laosan denied everything one by one, he just said that His Highness was just joking.

After all, people like His Highness can't just keep their promises. If some people say this, there is no guarantee that it will have any impact on His Highness, so it is naturally impossible for him, Liu Laosan, to say it.

What Liu Laosan said, and everyone in the village followed Liu Laosan's caliber, saying that His Highness was just joking.

Everyone naturally didn't take it seriously.

But since then, Liu Laosan has developed a problem. Every year during the Chinese New Year, before the Lantern Festival, he always comes out to take a look. If he doesn't take a look, it seems that there is always something missing.

He didn't have any other ideas, he just developed this habit. As for whether His Highness will come or not, it doesn't matter to Liu Laosan.

Because he stood here, he seemed to be able to see that His Highness had arrived.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, Liu Laosan has to prepare meat, white noodles and the like, and even buy a fish. In recent years, their family’s life has become better and better, and they can even eat clean white noodles every day up.

And some of the extra bran was used to feed the pigs. That's right, Liu Laosan's family had already fed the pigs, two pigs.They don't sell their pork either, they just keep it for their own food.

Now that they are capable, Liu's family naturally hopes to eat better, and the children in the family are now living a good life.

Where did you dare to think about these lives before? !

Liu Laosan, who walked back a few steps, subconsciously turned his head and took a look, but this glance made Liu Laosan stunned, because he saw that there seemed to be horses coming on the road in the distance!

And there are quite a lot of people.

This... There are not many villagers in the nearby villages who can ride horses. Although each family has some mules, pack horses, etc., they are all drawn by animal power. The riders are either the village security guards or some caravans.

But there are few caravans coming here, and there are not so many security guards.

There is only one possibility.

"Quick! Damn it!" Liu Laosan yelled out.

"What happened to the head of the house?" The people in the house quickly ran out.

"His Highness... Your Highness may be here... You go and order more noodles, and bring out some more meat. Forget it, did Lao Qi's family kill the Nian pig just the day before yesterday, so go to their house to buy some meat back." Liu Laosan's lips trembled a little.

Because while talking, the smoke and dust in the distance kept approaching, and he could already see the guards in armor. The only one who could bring the guards was His Highness. Who else came back to their small villages?

"Ah...then I'll go now." Liu Laosan's mother-in-law was also a little panicked, she hurriedly wiped her hands on her clothes, and ran directly to another family in the village.

The sound of horseshoes running wildly made the village boil quickly, and many villagers rushed out of their homes. When they saw someone coming, these villagers all widened their eyes.

"Quickly, quickly, go to Liu Laosan's house, ah, no, go to the entrance of the village to meet His Highness." The village head in the village was also a little panicked.

Although it was said that His Highness had come down before, they were a little flustered by their sudden arrival.

The village in the distance was already clearly visible, and Li Ke also slowed down his horse. When approaching the entrance of the village, Li Ke waved his hand, and the guards behind him dispersed naturally.

Only these people around Li Ke and twenty or thirty personal guards were left behind.

"This village seems to be different from three years ago." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Your Highness, there were still some villages here that had no houses built three years ago, but now all the farmers in these villages have built new houses." The magistrate of Chang'an who was following Li Ke said with a smile.

That's right, the county magistrate of Chang'an also followed. Li Ke was supposed to make a surprise attack today, but he left the palace directly after talking to Li Shimin.But before leaving, he still called the magistrate of Chang'an County.

Sometimes, although you can see some real situations by making a surprise visit to the bottom, sometimes it is actually beneficial to take the initiative to inform the bottom. This thing should be divided into two.

It is indeed a lot of inconvenience for him to come down suddenly now. After all, he hasn't been here for several years, and he doesn't know the local situation. There are some problems.

Li Ke has long passed that black and white age, and the political affairs he has dealt with in the past few years have indeed made Li Ke mature a lot.

Bringing the magistrate of Chang'an County with him, so that he can understand the situation better, and there will be no mistakes, and it will actually be smoother for him to communicate with ordinary local people.

"Is the situation around Chang'an like this?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"I don't know much about other counties, but all the villages in Chang'an County have completed new houses for every family to live in, and some even have old houses that have been renovated. The income of the people can be said to have doubled dozens of years ago. twice." Chang'an county magistrate replied seriously.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." While Li Ke was speaking, he had already seen the villagers coming up to welcome him, so he got off his horse directly.

The magistrate of Chang'an and others naturally also got off their horses.

Walking up to these villagers, Li Ke immediately recognized these villagers, the village head, and the home of the third son Liu whom he had promised to go to.

"Hahaha, folks, I, Li Ke, are here again. But I have to apologize to everyone today. I made a mistake when I said something three years ago." Li Ke first laughed a few times and said loudly.

"Your Highness, you...you are serious..." These villagers are not very good at speaking, they can only deny instinctively.

"But although I made a slip of the tongue, I'm still here. Your name is Liu Laosan. I remember I said I wanted to come to your house for dinner. Do you remember? I always have this meal." Li Ke Looking at Liu Laosan next to him, he laughed and asked.

"Yes... yes... yes..." Liu Laosan held back his words, but he didn't say anything out of excitement, he just said yes.
