Tang Dynasty Chang'an City

midsummer

For Chang'an City, located in Guanzhong, it is the land of heaven in the north, with a suitable temperature.

Li Mingda squatted on the steps outside the Zhengzheng Hall, holding half a watermelon in his hand.

Spit out the seeds

At this time, watermelons in the Tang Dynasty were not yet popular. The melon seeds came from the Western Regions. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty obtained the seeds from Hu merchants in the Western Regions and planted them. At present, they are only used as tributes and are not sold to the outside world.

And in terms of quantity, it is completely insufficient to supply all the dignitaries and so on. There is no problem in giving it to Gong himself as a royal tribute.

Those at the Duke level like Cheng Yaojin can enjoy some of the royal gifts. As for the brothers that Li Shimin doesn't like, they only have one or two at most.

Anyway, we have something to eat and others don’t care.

Anyway, Li Mingda enjoyed the meal very much.

He patted his round belly and turned over, looking at Ruhuaji who was about to come out of the Lizheng Hall, hiding his figure in the shadows.

Li Zhi looked around at the entrance to the Zhengdian Hall, except for some melon seeds on the steps, and saw no sign of Li Mingda.

Where is little Sizi?

Where have you been?

I was eating melon here just now.

He stretched out his hand to call the guard on the side: "Where is Xiao Sizi?"

The guard pretended not to hear

Li Zhi suddenly thought of something, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard a cute voice behind him.

"I come from the shadows"

The watermelon rind covered Li Zhi's head

The watermelon water in the watermelon rind stayed on Li Zhi's head.

Ha ha ha ha...

Ruhuaji's current look is wearing a green hat.

If you want to live a decent life, you have to take a different look at life.

"Little Sizi"

Amid Li Zhi's angry roar, Li Mingda ran away, and Li Zhi grabbed the watermelon rind and started chasing.

The eunuchs, maids, and guards on the side all opened their eyes wide and followed cautiously.

If the prince or princess falls and knocks themselves while playing around, they will naturally be punished.

"Xiao Sizi, stop for me."

“Slightly”

"Don't let me catch you"

"Can't catch it, can't catch it, la la la la la"

(^^*)”

The big commotion between Li Mingda and Li Chengqian naturally affected Li Shimin and Changsun, who were showing off their affection. The two walked out of the Li Zheng Palace and looked at their sons and daughters chasing each other, especially the watermelon on Li Zhi's head, which naturally made him smile.

"This little Sizi is skinny again."

"^_^Yes, this little Sizi smashed the watermelon rind on the head of the young slave. It was so naughty."

"Guanyin Monument, you have to educate her well."

"Your Majesty, I can't do this. Why don't you come in person?"

Pull me down, your majesty has called me here, so naturally I am not here to do errands for your husband-in-law. In the past, I always called you Erlang when I had nothing to do.

Li Shimin teased his queen: "I think, Xiao Si Zipi imitated your Guanyin Monument. Sometimes you are quite naughty."

A trace of blush appeared on Changsun's face. She knew when Li Shimin said: "Erlang needs to say this."

Li Shimin hugged his eldest grandson and said, "I didn't say anything. Why is the Guanyin Monument blushing?"

The eldest grandson said angrily: "I see, Xiao Sizi has Sui Erlang's character."

"It's me, Li Shimin, who has the dragon and phoenix seeds. Naturally, he will follow me, hahahaha."

Li Shimin's hearty laughter filled the night sky.

There is a joyful and peaceful atmosphere near Li Zhengdian.

But things are obviously not that good in Chang'an.

.....................

At this time, the curfew had already been imposed in the Tang Dynasty, and government offices had stopped working early. There were only a few officials on duty, and the gates of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty had also been locked.

Wow wow wow

The sound of armor scales clashing against each other reminded me of the Jinwu Guards who patrolled the night in Chang'an.

The Jinwu Guards who were patrolling the night here passed by Jinyi Guards General Zhenfusi and said hello to their colleagues who were keeping watch before leaving.

After the Jinwu guards on night patrol left the gate of the Zhenfu Division, one of the Jinwu guards let out a long sigh.

"Huh, I always feel creepy every time I pass by Jinyiwei Town Fusi."

"Yeah, I'm like that too"

"Wang San, Chen Liu, you two look like you have no future."

"Hey, you're not afraid"

"Nonsense, of course I'm afraid too"

Ha ha ha ha

There was a low laugh from the team

Zhang Da, the captain of this team of Jinwu Guards, scolded in a low voice: "Okay, stop making trouble and concentrate on patrolling."

"yes"

After Zhang Da reprimanded his subordinates, he sighed helplessly, "Jinyiwei, even though you have just started, you have found a lot of officials, and there are no unjust cases every time, and there is nothing wrong."

Zhang Da vaguely felt that Jin Yiwei would definitely be a giant man-eating beast in the future, so he had better stay away from them.

Jinyiwei Zhenfusi

As the latest intelligence agency of the Tang Dynasty, the new sharp dragon claw of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. Although the ruler on the surface is Li Mingda, Li Mingda usually doesn't care about things. Even if there is something that needs approval, he just goes to the imperial study to find Li Shimin.

.

At this time, the lights in Fusi, the headquarters of Jinyiwei, were brightly lit. Wu Nian, the commanding officer, was transferred from Baiqisi, a general of the Xuanjia Army in Tiance Mansion, and a close confidant of Li Shimin.

Since Wu Nian was transferred from Baiqisi to this position, he felt that he was under tremendous pressure. Inspecting Baiguan sounded very majestic, but he saw through the essence of it.

The Jinyiwei is actually just a new hunting dog for His Majesty. The purpose is to sort out and rectify those unruly judges or disobedient officials who have colluded with aristocratic families and parties, and make them an iron weapon for the efficient execution of His Majesty Li Shimin's decrees in the Tang Dynasty.

Brush biting dog.

In this era, being the hunting dog of the most powerful ruler of the Tang Dynasty was naturally a great honor, but it was not easy to do, especially in Chang'an where there were so many officials and noble families.

Every corner is full of people like them. One problem is to pull out the radish and bring it out of the mud. If the radish is too big, the big thing under the radish will be pulled out. If Li Shimin deliberately waterproofs it, they will be the most difficult to do.

Jinyiwei.

To be honest, this job is not as good as that of Baiqisi. At least it is a direct lineage. It is hard to say whose hands Princess Jinyang will be in when she grows up.

Wu Nian's thoughts wandered for a while and he looked down at his desk.

A report on his desk made him destined to be unable to sleep tonight. At the same time, there were also his commanding officers who were on duty at night, governor Qianhu, deputy Qianhu, Baihu, trial Baihu, general flag, small flag and so on.

Hundreds of warriors and others were waiting for him to give orders.

"Everyone, our Jinyi Guards are taking action tonight. According to the intelligence, there are people in Chenmingfang, Qinglianfang, Yudefang and other six places. They have gathered the evil forces in Chang'an, and the local ruffians and bullies have opened gambling houses privately."

"After repeated investigations by spies, we have found that officials from the Tang Dynasty came to gather people to gamble tonight. As His Majesty's claws, we must remove them, otherwise you will not be able to afford the generous profits of your high-ranking officials."

"do you understand?"

Commanding officials, envoys to a thousand households, deputy ministers to a thousand households, a hundred households, and a hundred households, general flags, and small flags all raised their hands and saluted: "Yes, I sincerely obey the order of Lord Tongzhi."

"Set off"
