Li Junxian knelt on the ground with a thud, "I have neglected my duty. Please forgive me for any omissions."
Look at Zhang Yang's portrait again.
Li Shimin whispered: "Go on and check, I want all the details about Zhang Yang."
"Here!"
Li Junxian quickly stood up and bowed again, "I will leave at the end."
Then he quickly walked out of the Manna Hall.
The hall became quiet again. Li Shimin took out the tea leaves from the cloth bag and put them into the tea bowl.
Li Shimin liked this kind of fried tea very much, and after all, it was his daughter's filial piety.
Asking the little eunuch on the side to pour hot water, Li Shimin took a brief sip.
It's a pity that there are not many tea leaves left.
The eldest son in the palace, Li Chengqian, is quite sensible, and Princess Xiangcheng got married early.
Now Li Shimin's children, Li Lizhi and Li Tai, are still young.
The only grown-up daughter in Chang'an is Li Yue.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin let out a long sigh again. He looked at the dim palace in front of him and felt the loneliness of being alone.
An old eunuch hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor..."
Li Shimin put down the tea bowl in his hand and frowned: "Father, what's wrong with him?"
The eunuch knelt on the ground in a panic, "The Emperor lost his temper again and smashed things everywhere. Everything in Da'an Palace was almost destroyed."
The eunuch was kneeling on the ground, and Li Shimin's expression could not be seen in the dim palace.
"Why are you so angry?"
Li Shimin's questioning words came.
The old eunuch lowered his head and said, "It's because Da'an Palace is too hot."
After speaking, Li Shimin was quiet for a while.
The old eunuch hurriedly fell to the ground and changed his words and said, "It's the old slave who didn't take good care of me. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"I understand, please step back first."
"Here!"
The old eunuch left the Manna Palace in fear.
Li Shimin lost his sleep again.
Ever since the Xuanwu Gate incident.
The little eunuch who was waiting on the side knew that since His Majesty came to the throne, he often had trouble sleeping and was often plagued by nightmares.
Some words are taboo, and Xuanwumen is the biggest taboo in the palace.
Li Shimin recalled the scene when Li Yuan cursed him.
Holding his forehead in distress, Li Shimin breathed heavily.
Li Shimin now looked like a beast about to become angry. The little eunuch beside him unconsciously took two steps back, too scared to raise his head.
It’s not yet autumn in Chang’an but it’s still a bit hot.
It was not completely bright yet, so Zhang Yang got up early and cleaned the courtyard.
Aunt Wang saw Zhang Yang smiling and said, "Xiao Zhang, you woke up so early."
In fact, today I am going to see how the houses outside Lantian County are being built.
According to the owner of the wine shop, the house should be completed soon.
After cleaning up the yard, Zhang Yang started to make breakfast.
Li Yue, who had just woken up, was washing listlessly. The toothbrush made of cow bones was indeed much easier to use.
Li Yue felt energetic when the hot porridge and steamed buns were served.
Li Yue is easily conquered in front of food.
After breakfast, Zhang Yang went out early.
After watching Zhang Yang leave, Li Yue finished the porridge in the bowl and whispered: "What's going on with your father recently?"
Aunt Wang said with a respectful expression: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been acting the same lately. The Emperor lost his temper again last night, and Your Majesty also didn't sleep well all night."
To this day, Aunt Wang still remembers His Majesty's words, as long as Princess Runan lives a good life.
As for matters in the palace, Princess Runan does not need to interfere.
His Majesty also told me before leaving the palace.
But now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has asked, she still has to say it.
Li Yue whispered: "It's been four years, and it really hasn't changed at all."
Aunt Wang lowered her head and said nothing.
The gatekeepers in Chang'an City haven't opened yet, and many people are already waiting here.
Mingde Gate is the southern part of Chang'an. As soon as the city gate opens in the morning, many people want to go out to work, and many people want to go into the city to find work.
As the drums sounded, it was time to open the city gates.
Zhang Yang followed the flow of people outside Lantian County.
There are also horse dealers outside the city.
It’s just that poor families generally cannot afford horses.
Zhang Yang can only walk.
We hurriedly and slowly arrived outside Lantian County, and we could see some officers and soldiers along the way.
It seems that the imperial court is already preparing for the autumn hunting.
In the Tang Dynasty, where entertainment activities were scarce, hunting was a very fashionable thing.
Zhang Yang is not interested in hunting, it is the best time to make money.
Arriving outside Lantian County, Zhang Yang saw a store under construction.
At this moment, Niu Chuang was leading people to build the roof.
Niu Chuang also saw Zhang Yang standing not far away, jumped off the roof quickly and said: "Little brother, we are already building a roof. It doesn't matter if we can't afford tiles, we can build some hay."
Tiles are something only wealthy people can afford.
Zhang Yang's budget is also very tight right now.
Walking into the house under construction, the smell of wood comes across the floor.
Niu Chuang said: "Don't worry, little brother, we will do everything you ask for."
After taking a quick look at the situation inside the house, there was no difference from the drawings.
Zhang Yang said: "Brother Niu, your craftsmanship is really good."
We had a chance encounter at the liquor store, but I didn't expect this guy to remember his name.
Niu Chuang patted his chest and said: "Little brother, we originally worked for the Ministry of Industry of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Now the Ministry of Industry does not want us. We can only go out and find work on our own. Please rest assured about our craftsmanship."
"
Looking at the kitchen stove, Zhang Yang said: "Brother Niu used to work for the Ministry of Industry. This craftsmanship shouldn't be priced like this."
Speaking of this, Niu Chuang sighed, "The economy is not going well. We brothers have to find work on our own after we come out. We can't rob them of the jobs that are taken over by the few fields in Chang'an City. The wages can only be compared with those of those who work there."
People are lower."
There are also evil forces in Chang'an City.
People like Niu Chuang who are looking for work will naturally have to deal with evil forces.
The rise of evil forces has something to do with the powerful.
The rich and powerful will also find ways to make money through these evil forces.
It can also extract wages.
Over time, the process of the powerful squeezing ordinary people was formed.
Niu Chuang said again: "Little brother, your house is used for wine and food business."
Zhang Yang did not deny it but nodded slightly.
The space here on the second floor is much smaller, which can be used to store some sundries, and can also be used as a room for people to live in.
It’s only half an acre of land, so it’s okay if the house is small.
Zhang Yang doesn't plan to live here either.
Just enough for two cooks, Ding Liu and He Bei, to work.
