Great Tang princess

After more than two days of flying, we finally arrived in Dongdu on the afternoon of the third day.

After the airship landed, Li Chongrun planned to take his master Zhou Daniu home.

"This... After retiring from the army, shouldn't you report to the local Zhechong Mansion?" Zhou Daniu asked.

When he came back, he also inquired about the specific matters in detail. After the veteran returned home, he had to report to the local Zhechong Mansion to explain the situation of his discharge.

The Zhechong Mansion will send the documents to the Ministry of War, and after the review, they will be connected to the Ministry of Households, the soldier's certificate will be taken back, and the hand certificate will be issued again, which is the so-called household registration certificate.

"There's no rush, there's still time to go tomorrow." Li Chongrun waved his hand, "Besides, tomorrow is Monday, and Zhechong Mansion will be closed today, no business will be handled!"

Then he dragged Zhou Daniu to the carriage, but at this moment the door of Xuanwu Gate opened and Sun Jingbang came out.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness. The sage said that he also wants to see General Liu and His Highness's master. Why don't you go to the palace and drink some tea."

"Grandfather wants to see Master?" Li Chongrun was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, "Then Master, let's go into the palace."

"This... I am a small soldier, how can I meet Tianyan..." Zhou Daniu couldn't help being a little nervous.

As ordinary people, the emperor is like a god, and he never thought of seeing it with his own eyes.

At this time Li Yuechen came over: "Hey, since you are the prince's master, it's good to meet you. In the past, with your status, you could be regarded as the prince's master!"

As he said that, without waiting for his reply, he directly led him into the Xuanwu Gate.

After entering the palace, Zhou Daniu didn't dare to look around and could only walk forward behind the crowd.

Li Chongrun said with a smile: "Master, don't be nervous. Your Majesty is easy-going and easy-going."

But his words obviously did not have much consolation effect, instead it made Zhou Daniu still very nervous.

After all, that is the emperor, an existence that was unimaginable before.

Fortunately, he has been in the army for many years, he has learned the culture and cultivated his character, so he was nervous, but he didn't make any jokes about it.

Walking in the palace, passing by a group of maids.

Zhou Daniu was keenly aware that these court ladies had problems with their gait.

For veterans, the difference between soldiers and ordinary people can basically be distinguished at a glance.

He subconsciously frowned, approached Li Yuechen, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, has anyone sneaked into the palace?"

Sun Jingbang, who was walking in front, was taken aback when he heard it.

But Li Yuechen smiled: "Ah, don't worry about it. They are not enemies, they are trained to protect saints, don't worry!"

Hearing what she said, Zhou Daniu felt relieved and didn't say much.

But I was somewhat surprised in my heart, although I knew there were female soldiers in the army when I was in Qingdao.

But at the time, I thought it was specially trained for spies, but I didn't expect it to be here.

He himself was born as an infantryman, so it could be seen that these court ladies had received strict military training, and they were all the way of the field army.

Li Chongrun laughed in a low voice: "Okay, master, this look is so old-fashioned!"

"His Royal Highness, don't boast. After all these years in the army, this is the only ability left." Zhou Daniu replied with a wry smile.

Speaking of which, he was somewhat confused until now. Before he came back this time, the military district told him that he would arrange a job for him when he came back.

But the problem is, all these years in the army, I have learned the skills of fighting and killing people. Now that the country is safe and peaceful, can what I have learned really be used?
To put it bluntly, I don't even know how to plant land now!
……

All the way to the outside of Jixian Temple, Sun Jingbang asked the eunuch standing guard at the gate to go in first to report.

Then I was talking to Zhou Daniu about the face saint: "Remember, don't look at each other, lower your eyes and lower your eyebrows..."

Zhou Daniu remembered all of them, and then agreed.

And Li Yuechen was talking to Li Chongrun next to him: "Remember, you can't do this after you ascend the throne. The emperor should let everyone in the world know what he looks like..."

What these words said made Sun Jingbang shudder, that is, the atmosphere of the royal family is different now.

If it was decades ago, who would have dared to talk to the crown prince like that, I am afraid that both of them would lose their heads!
And Liu Huang next to him moved two steps to the side calmly, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

After a while, the eunuch inside came out and let everyone in.

Then everyone came to the door, took off their shoes, and entered the hall.

Zhou Daniu came in after Sun Jingbang, but because he didn't dare to raise his eyes, he could only see two people sitting in front of the table.

One of them was wearing a ochre-yellow round-neck gown, holding two health balls, one black and one white.

Sitting next to her was a woman, wearing gorgeous clothes that she had never seen before, and wearing a translucent jade bracelet on her hand.

Then Zhou Daniu planned to salute: "Craftsman Zhou Daniu, I have seen..."

"Hey!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the chubby hand holding the health ball slightly waved: "If you are a soldier, how can you be called a grassroots? In front of me, just call him a subordinate!"

"Yes! This subordinate..."

"No courtesy! Zhou Qing is the prince's master, and he was wounded for the country, so there is no need to salute!" Li Xian said angrily, "So is General Liu!"

After Liu Huang heard it, he raised his hand and gave a military salute: "Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Come! Give seats to the two of you! Serve tea!" Li Xian waved his hand and gave the order.

After the two thanked each other, they asked, "General Liu, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, everything is fine!" Liu Huang replied.

Li Xian nodded: "Speaking of which, I'm somewhat curious about the northern border, so let's treat it as a small talk today, you two can chat with me casually!"

Chatting is very simple. Li Xian is an emperor, so you don't have to worry about leaking secrets when you talk to him about military affairs.

So the two began to talk to him, giving him a detailed understanding of the current northern border.

Li Xian didn't ask these questions just to pass the time.

The main reason is that Liu Huang is coming back to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War, which can be regarded as an official position with real power. It depends on whether he is loyal to the royal family.

Don't look at his ignorant appearance on weekdays, but the emperor is an emperor after all, it depends on his ability.

Hmm... that's all.

As for Zhou Daniu, it is pure courtesy to the corporal, as the prince's master, chat with him.

To put it bluntly, it is also for outsiders to see, telling outsiders that this is the prince's master, don't bully it casually, it is tantamount to a platform.

At least it can guarantee that there will be no problems in Zhou Daniu's life in the future, and he can live a better life.

After all, as a disabled person, there must be many inconveniences in life.If someone who doesn't have good eyes bothers him, it's a slap in the face of the royal family.

……

After seeing the emperor, there was nothing else to do except to go back to their homes.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Li Chongrun greeted Li Yuechen and took Master back home in a carriage.

On the way home, Li Chongrun couldn't help asking: "Master has been single all these years, how about finding a wife?"

"This... now I'm a useless person, where can I find..."

"Oh, Master, don't underestimate yourself. Now with Master's conditions, it is still very easy to find a wife among the people. I will contact the official media tomorrow, so don't worry about it!"

To be honest, Zhou Daniu must also want to find a wife.

After all, I have been in the army for so many years. Although I occasionally come out to play on vacation, I will be alone in the future. It is definitely better to have a companion.

The master and apprentice chatted all the way out of the city.

Although Zhou Daniu is from Dongdu, his family is not in the city, but in a village on the east side of the city.

Fortunately, now that the concrete road is paved, the speed of the carriage is much faster.

Along the way, Zhou Daniu was full of emotions: "When I left, this place looked different, and now I almost can't recognize it..."

"It's okay, after a while, the house assigned by Master will come down, and then you can move to live in the city." Li Chongrun said with a smile.

All the way to the entrance of the village, the carriage stopped.

The villagers saw more than 30 female guards wearing camouflage and holding long knives, riding horses and stopping at the entrance of the village, but they didn't know what happened.

And that gorgeous carriage is completely out of place with their place.

The car door opened, and a black, worn-out but thin and clean leather boot and a crutch fell to the ground at the same time.

The figure of Zhou Daniu got out of the carriage, looked at the village in front of him, and took a deep breath.

Li Chongrun also got out of the carriage and stretched himself.

At this time, an old man who looked about 50 years old walked over cautiously: "I don't know what the two nobles are doing here..."

Zhou Daniu saw it, and immediately laughed: "Zhuzi! Don't you recognize me?"

Hearing what he said, the little old man on the opposite side narrowed his eyes and began to recognize it carefully.

This voice sounds familiar, a bit like the one we played with when we were young...

"big cow?"

Zhu Zi's eyes widened all of a sudden: "You're back!"

When he saw that face, Zhu Zi immediately recognized it as his childhood playmate.

It's just that he went to the army when he was a teenager, and then there was no news for many years, and he thought he died on the battlefield.

I didn't expect to come back now, and it seems... as an official?

"It's me!" Zhou Daniu nodded excitedly, "It's been almost 30 years since I left, I never thought you would become like this..."

While speaking, there was excitement in his tone. After all, he was a childhood friend whom he hadn't seen for many years. When he met suddenly, he always felt that he had a lot to say.

But I have to say that the people in this village are indeed aging faster, and the appearance of this Zhuzi is much older than his actual age.

This is also a common problem in this era, but fortunately, as life gradually improves, this situation is gradually improving.

After a while, Er Niu and San Niu who received the news also came over, and they still couldn't believe it when they saw Zhou Daniu.

But after all, blood is thicker than water. After a while, the three brothers hugged each other and burst into tears.

Especially after hearing that his mother had passed away, Zhou Daniu couldn't help crying.

The people next to him came to persuade him and told him that the two younger brothers were very filial and took care of his mother at the last moment, which relieved Zhou Daniu a lot.

After sending Master home, Li Chongrun didn't wait any longer: "Master, then I'll go back first, remember to go to Zhechong Mansion tomorrow to change hands, after a few days to settle down, I'll come to see you again!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness, go slowly!"

When they heard that it was the prince, the people around quickly saluted in surprise.

"Okay, everyone is free! Gu came here today to send Master back to his hometown, there is nothing else, everyone go back!" Li Chongrun waved his hand, telling them to go back.

Saying this sentence is to tell them, don't look at him as a disabled person, don't bully him, the prince is standing behind him.

After making arrangements, he went back in a carriage first.

……

In the next few days, after Li Chongrun was busy with his work, he was helping his master with the affairs of the Zhechong Mansion.

After changing the household registration, the house is issued.

The house is in a place in the northeast corner of Dongdu. Although it is far away from the downtown area, it is already a corner, but it is a good place.

Because the current city has begun to expand, and the city wall will be demolished sooner or later.

Maybe in 50 years, that place will also be within the second ring road!

Li Yuechen bought a lot of land here, and built more than a dozen four-storey buildings, which were specially used to house meritorious veterans.

The area is not too small, each house has about [-] square meters, and the most important thing is that there is no common room!

The design of two households on one floor can be regarded as the starting point of officially opening a building in this world.

It's just that at present, this kind of house is only available in Dongdu. This is a community built specifically to house meritorious veterans. Currently, there are not many families living in it.

There is a water tower on the roof, so there is running water in this building.

The only troublesome thing is cooking. The cost of natural gas transportation is too high these days, so the stoves are still used in the buildings, and coal is used for cooking.

However, the layout of the kitchen has been dealt with, and a flue and a simple small fan have been installed to prevent the house from being too smoky.

This can be regarded as an experimental project. If it is done well, it can play a good role in future urban planning.

Of course, the premise has been done to prevent people like real estate speculators from appearing in order to make money with real estate.

Today's Datang is already the number one in the world, and there is no need to engage in an economy that is as unstable as a bubble, so I didn't plan to touch this at all.

After settling Zhou Daniu, Li Chongrun notified the official media and asked them to find a wife for Master.

Considering that after all, at this age, it doesn't matter if you are a widow, as long as you are a person who lives.

……

It's February in a blink of an eye, and spring is about to begin, and everywhere is thriving.

It happened to be a Saturday, Li Yuechen didn't have to go to school, and there was nothing to do at the Engineering Academy, so he drank tea at the Princess Mansion, and checked what needed to be added for the book he left for future generations.

At this moment, the phone rang, Xiaodong ran over to answer it, and immediately reminded: "Your Highness, call Shangyang Palace."

"coming!"

Li Yuechen walked over to pick it up: "Hello?"

Zhang Chengxin's voice came from the receiver: "Your Highness, the Supreme Emperor is ill, can you come and have a look?"
