The next day, Friday, morning court!

It was just eight o'clock.

Now the court time was delayed by half an hour compared to the past. Li Shimin agreed with Su Chen from the bottom of his heart:

'Without a good sleep, how can you worry about state affairs! '

Especially in winter, the white mist exhaled from the mouths and noses of ministers is clearly visible. Some elderly ministers rushed to the palace at seven o'clock, which was not easy.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan and Hebei reported the harvest of sweet potatoes and Zhenguan beans, and the yield per mu was more than 60 stones."

Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of Revenue, stood up and reported to Li Shimin with a piece of paper in his hand.

The tablet has been completely withdrawn from the court. The tablet is made of different materials according to the rank of the official.

There are jade, ivory, bamboo and wood.

The disappearance of the tablet is a great thing for some ministers. The tablet is not only used to record some matters, but also a weapon for beating people in the hands of some people.

"Good! With these high-yield sweet potatoes and Zhenguan beans, I believe that the Tang Dynasty will completely get rid of the famine!"

Li Shimin was very pleased to hear Liu Zhenghui's report.

"Your Majesty, I congratulate you! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

The ministers shouted immediately!

Corn and peanuts have not left Chang'an yet. Only a few people in the manor and several villages along Changle Avenue grow them.

"Lord Liu, how is the promotion of kang going?"

Li Shimin thought of the warm kang he was sleeping on now. He felt lazy every day after getting up and didn't want to get up from the kang from the bottom of his heart.

So the morning court was postponed for half an hour.

"Your Majesty, I have worked with the Ministry of Works in various counties in Chang'an to build more than ten households of people with kangs. The construction of kangs does not require high craftsmanship. I think the people will imitate them one after another."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Liu Zhenghui's approach, and it was also trouble-free.

"Well, that's great!"

Then Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji, "Ministry of Personnel! Order officials in the northern counties who are severely affected by the cold to promote heated kangs as soon as possible in their respective jurisdictions. This will be used as one of the official assessments, and the Censorate will be arranged to investigate the counties next year."

"Minister, obey your order!" Changsun Wuji accepted the order respectfully.

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers, "My dear ministers, do you have anything to report?"

It's rare that the emperor is in a good mood today. If it were in the past, the old king would only need to shout: If you have something to report, report it, if you don't have anything to report.

There is no need for the emperor to ask in person.

"Resign!" Li Shimin stood up and walked straight out of the Taiji Hall.

"Your Majesty, we respectfully send you off!" The ministers stood up and bowed.

...

"Has the prince left the palace?"

On the way to the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have left the palace at the beginning of the morning!" Wang Defa replied respectfully.

Li Shimin walked very fast, and Lao Wang couldn't keep up with the emperor every time.

He had to jog so that he wouldn't fall behind the emperor too much.

It was definitely because of the lack of parts.

"Did that kid reply?" Li Shimin smiled faintly. Li Shimin knew exactly what Li Chengqian wrote.

Yesterday, Li Chengqian wrote the letter and gave it to Lao Wang to arrange for someone to send it to the manor.

Wang Defa told the truth, "Your Majesty, after reading the letter, Marquis Su only said one sentence: waste a piece of paper!"

"Haha, like what that kid said!"

At that time, Li Shimin advised Li Chengqian that Su Chen would never go to Wugong County with him.

... Not long after, Li Shimin came to Lizheng Hall.

"Guanyin Bi!"

Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei were knitting sweaters together. When Empress Changsun heard Li Shimin's shouting, she immediately threw the sweater in her hand aside.

It was because the emperor repeatedly forbade her to do needlework again.

"Welcome Your Majesty!" Led by Empress Changsun, four people stood up to greet him.

"No need to be polite!"

Li Shimin walked up, helped Empress Changsun up, and glanced at their seats. Four people had five sets of knitting tools.

"Whose sweater is this?"

Li Shimin happened to pick up the unfinished sweater that Empress Changsun had thrown aside.

"Your Majesty, this is the sweater I knitted for Mingda. I promise not to knit sweaters in the future!" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin with a slightly pleading expression.

"Guanyin maid, this will not happen again!"

Li Shimin could not get angry either. He looked at the other three imperial concubines and asked with a smile: "How about the three beloved concubines staying in Lizheng Hall for lunch?"

Usually, the concubines in the harem would be responsible for delivering meals to their palaces.

Sometimes Li Shimin would also accompany them for meals.

Most of the time, Li Shimin ate in Lizheng Hall with Empress Changsun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three bowed and thanked him.

"Well! For lunch, we will have hot and sour noodles, two fried eggs for each person and two plates of steamed bacon!" Li Shimin looked at the old king and ordered.

Now we don't have to save on hot and sour noodles. Last time, we made about 100 kilograms of hot and sour noodles after harvesting sweet potatoes.The old king left the Lizheng Palace in response, and arranged for the eunuchs to prepare lunch in the imperial kitchen.

…………At the same time,

It is about 130 miles away from Chang'an City and belongs to the capital.

Yongzhou, Wugong County.

Coincidentally, the destination of the Crown Prince Li Chengqian's visit to his parents this time is Wugong County.

A large group of people on the official road are heading towards Chang'an, moving slowly.

"Uncle, we have been traveling in the territory of the Tang Dynasty for 32 days. How long will it take to reach the imperial city?"

The person called Uncle by a boy of about 12 years old is Atana.

"Third Prince, maybe we can enter Chang'an City tomorrow!" Atana finally felt a little relieved. He was almost annoyed by Zhao Yun's questions along the way.

But Atana didn't know much about some things in the Tang Dynasty.

"That's good. I can finally meet that amazing Marquis. I want to worship him as my teacher!"

Atana didn't respond, but he knew in his heart that a prince from the Western Regions was not in Su Chen's eyes.

He didn't even look at the attitude of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty towards Su Chen.

Zhao Yun, who grew up in the Western Regions (Xinjiang), rarely took a sedan chair.

The King of the Western Regions specially prepared a luxurious sedan chair for the two siblings for this long journey. Most of the time, only Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Yu took it.

As long as the weather outside was good, Zhao Yun would follow Atana and Wutuo like a little bird, chirping non-stop.

There were a total of 300 people in the Western Regions delegation, with 150 people in the front and back of the team, and 1,000 cattle and sheep in the middle. After entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they were guarded and driven by people sent from Chang'an.

"Atana, I will rush to Chang'an to report the news." The accompanying East Palace guard rode from the back to the front of the team and bowed.

"Okay! Just follow the arrangements, brother!"

The guard bowed to Wutuo and Atana again, and then galloped towards Chang'an.

"Atana, can you tell me about that marquis?" Wutuo was also very curious. It was just a marquis. How come Atana said it like the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Wutuo was not very clear about the official system of the Tang Dynasty, he still had some understanding of the ranking of the titles.

Marquis, the third rank is the best!

"Wutuo, to be honest, I don't know much about the marquis."

"Forgive me!"

Atana smiled and bowed to apologize, thinking to himself: 'How can I tell others about that marquis? '

There was no way before. When talking to Zhao Yun about the Tang Dynasty green card, I accidentally mentioned Su Chen.
