My life is my 354th chapter. Just after the Governor Chen Shi, the last dynasty meeting of the ninth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty ended early.

Before the meeting, the emperor agreed to the Tianfu National Master Li Mingzhen to submit a request to appoint her as the "Governor of Shaanxi East Road". As the name suggests, her function is to be responsible for inspecting local areas, sensitizing the people, and visiting the sufferings of the people, which is the "intentional envoy" that is well-known to future generations.

Of course, compared with the imperial envoys in the Ming and Qing dynasties, although their authority was smaller, they were much more arbitrary.

Now that Li Yaoquan is in the court and the people are in the world, the emperor issued an imperial edict, and the Secretariat, Menxia Province, Censorate, Taipu Temple and other related institutions were immediately busy. In less than a day, all the official procedures and inspection documents required for the Princess of the Protector of the Country to the East Tour of Heluo were handled properly, and the work operation was truly efficient than ever before.

The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, a large group of cars and horses flirting with flags walked out of the Imperial City in a mighty manner, then turned into Anshangmen Street, drove out of Chang'an City from Chunmingmen Gate, and headed eastward.

Li Yao naturally had to show off his ceremonial guards seriously to show the majesty of her, the special envoy of the court. He saw three flag bearers walking in front of the team, holding long banners with the words "Princess Mingzhao, the National Master of Guarding the Kingdom", "Tiantian Master", and "Shaandong Road Governor" from left to right. Following him were two hundred guards of the National Master's Mansion in four rows, each with furious horses, holding long spears and spears, followed by one hundred sword-woven guards wearing heads and robes, divided into four groups of front, back, left and right. They all guarded a luxurious cart driven by four snow-white horses in the middle like stars, and behind them were several oil-walled light cars, all of which were designated by the national master's officials.

Originally, according to the Tang Dynasty etiquette system, the princess should have ridden a car driven by a double horse, but Li Yao's princess name is a special title of the emperor after all, and she also has an additional national teacher who is rank comparable to the princess, so her car driving and traveling is much larger than that of the past, and even pedestrians along the way stop to watch the ceremony.

At this moment, Li Yao sat upright in the carriage of Zhuliyou, still dressed in a normal dress wearing a hairpin and a Taoist robe. However, the curious onlookers suddenly saw the jade-faced face of the princess of the country through the floating window curtains from time to time, and were all shocked.

However, there are a hundred people, and even if the princess protecting the country is as beautiful as a fairy, talented and famous throughout the country, there are still people who are still disgusted and even hate him.

Song Junming rode on the horse with his helmet and armor, and his eyes were vigilantly scanning the cars and streetmen on both sides of the road. Anyone who stepped out of the ranks of onlookers or looked suspected of having strange expressions would immediately send his subordinates to stop and drive them away.

After the official completion of the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, the court established two armed institutions for the National Master’s Office in accordance with the rules of the prince and the Marriage Palace, in order to serve as the guards of the Tianfu National Master’s Office.

Among them, the inner palace of the Marriage Hall temporarily adopted the female official system, with Lan Shaoying as the Dian Army and Liu Jiyao as the deputy Dian Army, commanding 100 female guards, mainly responsible for personal protection of the Tianfu National Master.

The Marriage Mansion is a true royal guard. Two generals of Yifu, who are ranked as the fifth rank, serve as Dianjun. Song Junming was originally a member of the upper house from the fifth rank. Later, he followed the Princess of the Guru Kingdom to fight against the Turks in the north, and the waters rose and ships were high. He was promoted to one of the chief officials of the Marriage Mansion.

Since the other Dian Army and two deputy Dian Army were always invisible, even the emperor only heard of his name and did not see him. Therefore, the responsibility of the security of the National Master Tianfu on his first patrol fell on Song Junming.

Song Junming has heard of the grudges and love between the Princess of the Guru Country and Li Shimin recently, so he must be motivated and not allow anyone to step beyond the line.

In addition to the entourage of the Princess of the Guardian Kingdom, hundreds of large trucks pulled by horses were followed by the team, carrying goods such as rice, grain, cloth, and other daily necessities. In addition, the road was soaked by winter snow, so it was not easy to walk. After rushing, the group of people spent nearly two days to finally get out of Hangu Pass and arrive at the first stop of Governor Li Yao's place - Shanzhou City.

At this time, the local chief officials of Heluo Prefectures were still the original team of the former Shaanxi East Road Daxingtai. The governor of Shaanxi was named Changsun Cao, who was the follower of Changsun Wuji and the princess of Qin Changsun. The Changsun was Su Shichang, one of the "Eighteen Scholars" of the Former Qin Palace. As early as the day before Li Yao arrived, he received a notice from the court. When he heard that the Duke of the Guardian came to Heluo Jiuzhou to patrol and provide for the pension, he felt as if he was facing a great enemy.

Neither Changsun Cao nor Su Shichang were Li Shimin's most staunch supporters. Facing the rumored princess protecting the country, she considered how to protect her career more and more. So the two of them almost attracted all the officials and scholars from all over the state, and in the most grand and heavy form, they waited for the arrival of the imperial envoys on the official road twenty miles away in the west suburbs of the city in advance.

The convoy stopped slowly. The disciples of the Princess of the Guardian Kingdom, Yu Xuanwei and Zhang Xuanmiao, walked out of the phoenix chariot one after another, stood next to the car door, lifted the curtain on the left and right, and Li Yao, who was holding a whisk in his hand, then bent down gently and walked slowly out of the car.

"I, please see the Master Tianfu State!"

Changsun Cao and Su Shichang led a group of welcomers bowed to her.

"The Lords are exempted from gifts."

Li Yao raised his hand and helped him. When everyone looked up, his eyes swept lightly. His eyes suddenly fell on Su Shichang, who had met her once, and said with a smile: "Sir Su still remembers Li Mingzhen, the Censor of the Procuratorate?"

Su Shichang was stunned at first, but then he looked closely and felt that Li Yao's appearance was five points similar to the young censor who seemed to appear in Heshuo out of thin air. He couldn't help but sigh: "Of course I remember that three years ago, the national teacher used his own strength to resolve the siege of Mayi, which was really amazing!"

"Scholar Su praised me. Since we parted with Huanghuadui, we have not seen each other for a long time, and the style of the bachelor has become even more popular."

Li Yao responded with a humility and looked at the only official present wearing a purple robe and a jade belt. Seeing that he had a blue eyes and a high nose and a slightly white Xianbei person's face, he asked with a clue of knowledge: "Is the governor of Shanzhou Changsun Yuanjie?"

Changsun Cao's face tightened, and he hurriedly crossed his hands and replied, "Report to the national magistrate, he is the official."

Li Yao smiled kindly and said, "I heard that when I was in Shaanxi, I saw that there were no wells in the city, so I opened a canal to divert water to relieve the difficulty of drawing water in the city. Then I built a dam in the water and expanded irrigation, which made the Shaanxi Cangfeng rich, and the world praised it as the "Guangji Canal", which is utilitarian."

Seeing that Li Yao did not make things difficult for him, Changsun Cao praised his good governance, as if he had a reassurance, he hurriedly bowed and said, "As a minister, Yuan Jie is just a matter of doing his duties and fulfilling his duties as a state official."

After a while of greeting each other, Changsun Cao said happily: "The national teacher came from afar against the wind and snow, and the carriages were exhausted. I have set up a banquet in the city to welcome the angels."
