Tang Dynasty: Beyond Time and Space, My Best Friend, Princess Jinyang!

Taiji Hall

Li Shimin and Zhang Ananda had just arrived when Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou also arrived.

"Minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou saluted hurriedly.

Even the announcement was omitted.

"No need to be polite, it's cold outside, let's talk inside!" Li Shimin led a few people into Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin sat down on the dragon chair, "Don't stand there, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Ananda moved the stove next to him to the middle of Li Shimin and the others.

Taiji Hall was where Li Shimin worked and met with civil and military officials, and the stoves and braziers inside were also burning all day long.

"How is the resettlement of disaster victims near Chang'an now?" Li Shimin was still worried about this issue.

It was too cold, and many people were in poor conditions and couldn't bear it.

"Your Majesty, the statistics are already being counted, and the court has also begun to allocate supplies, but... it's very limited, and we can only help the most difficult people as much as possible, and the treasury is not rich..."

Fang Xuanling was helpless.

As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Fang Xuanling wanted to help the people, but it was useless if the court could not provide money and food.

"Do your best!" Li Shimin had no choice but to grit his teeth and persist.

The Tang Dynasty was founded only ten years ago, and the production population has not recovered.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and too many people died.

Several people felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Li Shimin worked hard to govern the country, and the Tang Dynasty has been thriving in recent years, but it is still far from enough.

"A very strange thing happened in the palace recently!" Li Shimin wanted to talk to Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou.

Knowing what Li Shimin was going to say, Zhang Ananda signaled the maids and eunuchs next to him to withdraw.

Li Shimin didn't want too many people to know about this.

"Strange thing?" Fang Xuanling was a little confused. He was just talking about helping the victims, why did he suddenly talk about it here.

Li Shimin picked up the lychee given by the little princess before, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou looked straight at the lychee.

Ma Zhou had never seen it, but Fang Xuanling had.

Fang Xuanling had been with Li Shimin for a long time.

"This... doesn't... look like lychees?" Fang Xuanling was not confident himself.

"Mr. Fang is really a joke. Where can lychees come from in the cold winter?" Ma Zhou did not agree. Although Ma Zhou had never seen lychees, he knew that lychees are in summer.

It is absolutely impossible in the middle of winter.

"There really shouldn't be lychees in this season." Fang Xuanling also said.

It is normal to have no lychees, but it would be wrong to have lychees.

In this era, lychees cannot be preserved until winter.

"But in fact, what I have in my hand is lychees!" Li Shimin spoke slowly.

Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou were also surprised.

"No, although I have never seen it, I also know that lychees are summer fruits and are not easy to preserve. How can there be lychees now?"

Ma Zhou had never seen it, but he had heard a little about the characteristics of lychees.

"That's why I said something strange happened. I ate lychees, no problem, it must be lychees."

"Your Majesty, who gave this to you? This method of preserving lychees is not simple, maybe it can be used in other ways to benefit the people of the world."

Fang Xuanling thought of this the first time.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with this, and he liked such ministers.

But Li Shimin also wanted to know, but now he didn't know how lychees appeared.

"To be honest, I still don't know this question, and I can't answer you!" Li Shimin was quite helpless.

"Your Majesty, this should not be difficult to check, lychees are not ordinary things."

The price ruled out 99% of the people in Chang'an City at once.

There are not many people who can eat lychees and transport lychees, so Fang Xuanling narrowed the scope of the investigation at once.

"This is comparable to gold, and it should not be difficult to check." Ma Zhou also echoed.

"Do you believe me when I say that it appeared in the harem inexplicably?"

"Your Majesty, how is it possible?" Fang Xuanling shook his head, "Not to mention that the harem is heavily guarded, just look at the price of these lychees, who would do this? It's illogical and unreasonable!"

"This morning, when Li Zhi came back, she brought more than a dozen lychees to the Lizheng Hall. These lychees appeared inexplicably in the inner hall of Sizi."

Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou were both confused.

Li Shimin is the emperor, he can't say such nonsense to fool Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou.

Li Shimin said it very seriously, it didn't seem like a joke.

This made Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou at a loss.

The two frowned and couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me in detail?" Ma Zhou also became interested. He must be curious about this abnormal thing.

"I don't know what the things that appeared before are. The Tang DynastyNo, I haven't seen it. It's very sweet, crispy and delicious..."

"Then something similar to bananas appeared, but it was different. Bananas are not delicious and have seeds. I have eaten them."

"Then lychees appeared today, appearing on the ground of Sizi's inner hall for no reason."

"These lychees were picked up by Li Zhi and Sizi from the ground. It may sound incredible, but that's the fact. Sizi picked them up from the ground."

"You didn't hear it wrong. The lychees were picked up from the ground without spending any money."

Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou were already stunned. If it wasn't for Li Shimin's words, the two would definitely not believe it.

Li Shimin was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He said it so seriously that Fang Xuanling knew it was true.

Fang Xuanling knew Li Shimin's character.

"This... What's the difference between this and pie in the sky? "Ma Zhou was also extremely shocked.

"No, no, no, this is much more terrible than pie falling from the sky. Pies are only a few dollars, but they can't be compared with lychees. The price can't be compared. In addition, the time is not right, which makes it even more rare and incredible. "

Fang Xuanling realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Mr. Fang is right. Your Majesty can't be so unclear!" Ma Zhou looked at Li Shimin.

"Ananda sent several waves of people to investigate. There was no problem in the inner hall of Sizi. Li Zhi also looked at it several times and found no problem. Li Zhi even slept in the inner hall of Sizi last night. I don't know how the lychees appeared. "

Li Shimin continued: "After investigation, no one approached the inner hall of Sizi, and the possibility of someone putting something in was ruled out. "

Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou felt more and more mysterious as they listened.

"Li Chunfeng went to see it before, and he didn't find any problems. Li Chunfeng even said that the location of the inner hall of Sizi is a Feng Shui treasure land. "

Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou both knew who Li Chunfeng was.

Fang Xuanling and Li Chunfeng were both old men in the Qin Palace, and they had followed Li Shimin since Li Shimin was still the Qin Prince.

So Fang Xuanling knew Li Chunfeng's ability.

"So what do you think about this matter?" Li Shimin wanted to hear their opinions.

Both of them were truly talented and were rare talents in governing the country.
