Li Shimin

Chapter 68 Daily life in the palace
Immediately, Dai Zhou looked left and right, dragged in a few Donggong guards from outside the door, picked out half of the boxes from the pile of wooden boxes in front of him, let the guards carry them, and ran to the yamen of the household department.

It was as if someone was chasing him behind him!
Seeing this, Li Shimin sighed helplessly, explained to Li Chengqian carefully, and then returned to Taiji Palace in peace.

However, after returning to Taiji Palace, Li Shimin also had no intention of reviewing the stack of memorials in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he got up directly and headed for the Lizheng Hall.

"Jiro?"

Seeing Li Shimin who walked in from outside the palace with a happy face, Empress Changsun couldn't help being stunned.

During this period of time, Li Shimin usually received his ministers in the Tai Chi Hall and dealt with state affairs.

"Guanyin maidservant, is the pheasant slave still well-behaved these days?"

After entering, Li Shimin first walked around Li Zhi's small rocking cart, and then came to Empress Changsun.

Immediately after Li Shimin sat down, a court lady served hot tea.

"Thank you Erlang for your concern, the little pheasant slave has started to babble these few days!"

A smile appeared on the face of the Changsun Emperor, and then he asked curiously: "Why did Erlang come to this concubine today?"

"There must be a happy event happening!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Ok?"

Empress Changsun's eyes lit up, and then her face was full of curiosity.

"Erlang, what is the happy event that makes you so happy?"

"Guanyin Maid, do you still remember the booklets "The Alphabet of Enlightenment" and "Number Arithmetic"?" Li Shimin asked.

"Of course I remember, because of this, Erlang asked Gao Ming to worship that strange man named Li Xuan as his wife!"

Speaking of this, Empress Changsun still felt a little nervous.The dignified prince of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty, with so many great Confucian scholars in the court, insisted on running so far to worship a mountain expert as his master!
"A few days ago, Gao Ming wanted to share my worries and asked the little master for advice, and the master asked Gao Ming to sell these two books!" Li Shimin said.

"This matter, the concubine also knows!"

Empress Changsun said, "And that little master is also a benevolent person. Each of these two books is only sold for a hundred coins. On the third day of the sale, the bookstore's [-] books were sold out!"

As the lord of the harem, empress changsun managed the entire harem. Empress changsun was no slower than Li Shimin in knowing what happened in the harem.

"Could it be that the happy event Erlang mentioned has something to do with this book?"

"I'm afraid Guanyin's maidservant didn't know, but after those aristocratic families realized it, they sent people to Chang'an City to start buying these two books!"

Li Shimin said with joy on his face.

"Ok?"

Empress Changsun was taken aback.

"In the past few days, another [-] copies have been sold!" Li Shimin continued.

"So much?"

After reacting, Empress Changsun looked surprised.

Afterwards, his face was full of surprises.

"Congratulations Erlang, Datang has gained another financial income!"

"Yeah, although it's not much, but before the end of the year, you can earn at least twenty guan! The food and miscellaneous money of the officials in Chang'an City are enough!"

Li Shimin said with emotion.

"That little master is really a strange person!"

"Such a holy book is only sold for a hundred coins. In this way, those rich families don't need to spend a lot of effort to print it. Moreover, the cost is almost the same as the price of the hand-written book, and the book is even more expensive than the hand-written book. Much more beautiful.

In this way, unless those whose families are particularly poor, they will borrow other people's books and copy them by hand.In addition, any big family with some assets in the family will come to buy this book! "

Li Shimin said: "In this way, although the price is set low, the money earned is not short at all!"

"In this way, that strange person may really be able to teach Gao Ming some skills!"

Empress Changsun said, "I heard that Erlang is going to start selling the sofa invented by that strange man again?"

"The Ministry of Households has a large financial gap, so I have to find some other way to make more income for Datang!"

Li Shimin said slowly, with helplessness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Empress Changsun couldn't help gently holding Li Shimin's hand and suggested. "Erlang doesn't need to be so worried. Our Great Tang has many soldiers and generals, and countless masters. As long as the people rest and recuperate for a few more years, our Great Tang will surely return to its peak."

"Thank you Guanyin maidservant!" Li Shimin said slowly.

"As for selling sofas, Erlang might as well ask Gao Ming to ask that little master to pay attention!"

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin was startled, looked at Empress Changsun thinking for a moment, and then said: "Tomorrow, let Gao Ming go!"

"In the past two years, Erlang has worked hard!"

"Avalokitesvara Maid..."

……

Hejian County Prince's Mansion!
"I heard that you and some bastards like Cheng Chusi blocked His Majesty outside the Li Family Manor?"

Li Xiaogong lay paralyzed on the sofa, holding a white ceramic cup in his hand, while drinking, he asked Li Chongyi who was opposite him.

"Return to father, that's right!"

Li Chongyi glanced at Li Xiaogong secretly, and found that the father did not intend to blame him, so he replied in peace.

"Who gave you the attention?" Li Xiaogong asked.

"Going back to my father, I waited for myself to think about it!"

Li Chongyi said quickly.

"Hmph, what do you think?"

Li Xiaogong glanced at Li Chongyi, and said with a sneer, "You bastards, dare to block His Majesty?"

"Father..."

Li Chongyi was dissatisfied, and just about to argue, Li Xiaogong waved his hand directly.

"Okay, since this matter has already happened, I won't pursue it. However, you are in Lijiazhuang, but have you seen that little master?"

"Master?"

Li Chongyi was taken aback for a moment, the figure flashed in his mind, and he quickly replied: "Go back to my father, I see you!"

"What's the young master's impression of you?"

Li Xiaogong continued to ask.

"Going back to my father, the young master just asked Commander Li to take me to see Qu Yuanli. Afterwards, I followed His Majesty out of Lijiazhuang!"

After listening, Li Xiaogong was thoughtful.

But Li Chongyi continued to ask: "Father, Your Majesty seems to have special respect for those little masters!"

"You just need to know that although the young master is young, he is a hermit!"

Li Xiaogong said: "If you want to worship under that master, would you be willing?"

"what?"

Li Chongyi's face was full of astonishment, and he asked himself to learn from the master who was not a few years older than him?

"Hmph, that little master will definitely accept you!"

Li Xiaogong's face darkened.

After hearing this, Li Chongyi trembled, and quickly asked in a low voice: "Father, do you really want the child to worship that little master as his teacher?"

"This king has begged His Majesty many times! Hmph..."

Li Xiaogong was helpless.

Although he thought about it, His Majesty did not agree!
at the same time.

In Su Guogong's mansion, Cheng Zhijie, who was full of beards, stared closely at the nervous Cheng Chusi in front of him, and asked with a smile on his face, grinning.

"Little bastard, did you really block Your Majesty and ask His Majesty to take you into Li's Village?"

"Aye, the one I'm going to block is the King of Hejian County, who would have thought that it would be His Majesty!"

Cheng Chusi replied with a frightened face.
