Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 8 Great Chang'an

When Cheng Yaojin came, he was very upset.

I'm afraid that the news about the cattle slaughter a few days ago will leak out and be held accountable by His Majesty!
When he left the palace, he was in high spirits.

A big black face, at this time because of excitement, also looks a lot ruddy.

His Majesty has explained many things, and the amount of information revealed is also great.

However, there is one!
Keep it secret, keep it secret, keep it secret!
Since His Majesty trusts him so much, Cheng Yaojin will naturally keep it secret to the end.

Moreover, he must do well what His Majesty has told him to do.

Cheng Yaojin just stepped into the gate of the mansion.

Another servant arrived in the palace.

"Su Guogong, this is a reward from His Majesty. His Majesty said that as long as Su Guogong handles the matter well, there will be many more rewards like this in the future."

Cheng Yaojin happily accepted the reward.

After the waiter left.

Only then did Cheng Yaojin realize that it turned out to be green vegetables and red unknown species.

Cheng Yaojin was so touched that he was about to cry.

"Ma'am, ma'am, baby, big baby!"

When Mrs. Sun heard the words, she was stunned on the spot.

Mrs. Sun knows her master's temperament best.

To make him excited like this, I think it's really an amazing baby!
"Ma'am, look, what is this?"

Two cucumbers and two tomatoes are regarded as treasures by Cheng Yaojin.

"Master, I don't know this thing myself, but judging by its green and crimson appearance, it should be something like vegetables and fruits."

Hearing Madam Sun's words, Cheng Yaojin nodded approvingly and said.

"Ma'am's words are true. My old Cheng also thought that they must be fruits and vegetables."

"Ma'am, come on, try it first!"

Cheng Yaojin handed Sun a cucumber.

"Master, we are divided into two, and the remaining one is for Chu Mo and Chu Liang to try."

"Okay, everything is up to Madam."

Cheng Yaojin slapped his thigh, laughed loudly, and responded.

Don't look at Cheng Yaojin's carefree appearance outside, not afraid of the sky and the earth.

However, when he returned home, he was also a good man with fine details.

He is especially considerate to his wife, Mrs. Sun.

Of course, dealing with the two sons, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, is another matter!

Cheng's family law is perfected by Cheng Yaojin!
Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang were often greeted by their father with sticks and shoe soles.

Sun split the cucumber in half!
Husband and wife, taste this taste that has never been tried together.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Sun responded with a smile.

Two tomatoes, Sun once again left one for the two sons.

They share one as a husband and wife.

The sweet and sour tomatoes made Cheng Yaojin and Sun Shi feel unfinished.

"My lord, how much contribution have you made this time to be rewarded by His Majesty?"

Hearing Madam's words, Cheng Yaojin chuckled.

Rubbing his hands vigorously, he spoke.

"Madam, I haven't done any meritorious service yet, but it's coming soon. Madam will be able to enjoy such fruits and vegetables every day in a short time."

"There are some things, His Majesty has an order, I can't tell Madam now, but Madam will know soon."

Mrs. Sun smiled when she heard the words!
"My lord, I know everything about myself, my lord can do it with confidence and boldness. Since His Majesty told you to do it, you must do your best!"

Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The curfew drum beats!
Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang hurried back home.

If it was left in the past, Cheng Yaojin would have scolded him.

Comrade Cheng was very happy today and gave them a rare smile.

"Chu Mo, Chu Liang, this is the reward your father got today, your father is not willing to eat it, so leave it for you two brothers, let's share it!"

Sun's words fully demonstrated Cheng Yaojin's demeanor.

At the same time, Chu Mo and Chu Liang were moved, almost tearing up.

It's all good, it's best to be a dear father!

Sun divided the cucumber and tomato into two.

The two brothers began to gobble up.

Looking at the eating of the two.

Cheng Yaojin wished he could take the soles of his shoes and call them over!

However, just now my wife created a loving father's influence on me.

Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart.

Chu Mo and Chu Liang finished eating in a hurry, wiped their mouths and left.

Both Cheng Yaojin and his wife nodded.

Once the two children are gone, they still have things that adults should do.

"Ma'am, let's go to bed earlier, I have to go to court tomorrow!"

"Ah."

Sun smiled and nodded.

"Master, didn't you agree to rest?"

Under the quilt, Cheng Yaojin began to be dishonest again.

"Ma'am, I can sleep more soundly when I am exhausted!"

.........

Along with Chang'an County Government and Wannian County Government, the bell rang at the same time.

Chang'an City, which has been silent all night, is full of vigor and vitality again!
The envoys of each workshop will open the closed gates.

People's figures began to appear on the street.

Shops in the east and west markets began to open for business.

However, the officials of Datang should be the first to get up from the bed.

There are a total of [-] squares in Chang'an City.

Except for the accident of Pingkangfang, most of the other squares basically have official residences.

Of course, because of different official positions, different backgrounds, and different relationships.

The mansion where officials live is also different from the palace.

The residence of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui is only one street away from the imperial palace.

As Li Shimin's eldest uncle, the residence of Changsun Wuji is also next to the palace.

Cheng Yaojin lived in Yongxingfang, only a few hundred steps away from the imperial palace.

Some officials are different.

How big is Chang'an City today?
Converted to modern data.Covers an area of ​​more than 80 square kilometers.

Some people will say, can such a big city be called big?

Any third-tier or fourth-tier city in modern times is more than [-] square kilometers!
However, this is the Tang Dynasty!
At the same time, Rome and Constantinople were only ten square kilometers!

Baghdad, a well-known Chinese city, is only [-] square kilometers.

Chang'an City is truly the world's number one city in the entire world.

It attracts businessmen from all over the world to come here.

Cheng Yaojin slept for another half an hour before getting up.

Officials like them who are close to the palace didn't panic at all in the early court.

The most nervous are those who live on the edge of the city.

As soon as the bell rang, I had to get up from the bed quickly.

Go to bed later than a dog and wake up earlier than a chicken.

Going to court with dark circles under their eyes every day is a true portrayal of their lives.

Fortunately, the morning court time is long or short, if the next court is early.

You can also hurry back home and get a good night's sleep!
Today, the sixth day of the first lunar month!
It was the first morning court after the Great Court Meeting.

Hundreds of officials entered the Xiande Hall one by one.

Line up on both sides and stand in an orderly manner.

Li Shimin was dressed in a dragon robe, and walked into the Xiande Hall with great strides.
