Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1746 Special
Just when Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were rejoicing, news spread quickly in Chang'an City.

With the completion of the construction of the railway, the people of Chang'an City paid special attention to the train.

Because everyone knows that the completion of the railway construction means that it is not far from the train opening to traffic.

All the people in Chang'an are eagerly waiting. Although most people don't need to go to Luoyang, they are still looking forward to the opening of the train.

Even if you don't know how to go to Luoyang by train, it's good to watch the excitement.

Moreover, even if you don't take the train to Luoyang now, maybe you will take the train to Luoyang in the future.

As for those who are going to Luoyang in the near future, they are always looking forward to the train's opening and operation as soon as possible, so that they don't have to spend so many days in the carriage.

Not to mention those who have money and leisure, they are full of curiosity and anticipation about trains, so naturally they look forward to the opening and operation of trains every day so that they can find out and have a good time.

The news spread quickly. When they heard that Su Cheng personally tried the train yesterday and returned to Luoyang this morning, the people in Chang'an were immediately excited.

Now that Lian Sucheng has personally tried the train, is it still far from the train's opening to traffic?
Maybe in just a few days!
The people of Chang'an would never have imagined that the emperor, empress, and ministers in the court were also full of curiosity and anticipation about the train, and they also wanted to try the train.

Although Li Shimin had already decided to take the train for a test ride tomorrow, the news did not spread, because the people who drove him were all important ministers, and they did not publicize it.

Su Cheng leisurely left the palace, ready to go home to catch up on sleep, because he knew that if he took the train to Luoyang tomorrow, it meant that he would not be able to sleep well tomorrow night.

However, the Duke's Mansion is very lively.

Princess Zhenzhu, Wang Shengnan and the others got the news a long time ago, and they all rushed over.

They were very dissatisfied that Su Cheng did not call them on the train for a test ride.

So, they came to ask Master Su Chengxing about their crimes.

Doesn't Su Cheng know how much they look forward to the train?
Doesn't Su Cheng know how much they want to experience the feeling of taking a train for themselves?

However, when Su Cheng asked them to take the train to Luoyang together the day after tomorrow, Princess Zhenzhu, Wang Shengnan and the others couldn't help being elated and readily agreed.

It was still daylight, and the palace gate was already opened with a bang.

Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and other important court officials were already waiting at the gate of the palace.

The mighty team headed out of the city.

It wasn't time for the city gate to open yet, but the city gate opened with a bang, which surprised the people who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.

Why did the gate of the city open early today?
Although the city gate was opened earlier, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not allow them to enter or exit.

Soon they understood why, they saw the mighty cavalry slowly leaving the city, and the ceremonies of the emperor and empress.

So early in the morning, the emperor and empress actually left the city?
Not only the emperor and empress have left the city, but also a group of court officials!

This in the end is why?

What are the emperor and queen doing?
Why are you out of town so early?
Many people can't help but feel moved after thinking about it for a while. The biggest thing that happened recently is the completion of the railway construction.

The answer seemed obvious when the emperor and empress left the city so early and brought so many important court officials with them.

The emperor and empress must have taken the train with a group of important court officials!

It turns out that even the emperor, queen, and the court are full of curiosity about the train, so they can't wait to try the train.

The mighty team left the city and headed towards the train station.

If only Li Shimin took the train with the important ministers of the court, then all of them would be able to reach the train station very quickly on horseback.

But because the empress and the maid were following, the speed couldn't get up, so they had to set off early.

In the hall of the railway station, Su Cheng was catching up on sleep. Because he knew that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun would come early, Su Cheng woke up early and left the Duke's Mansion before dawn.

After all, he is a courtier, so it is not easy for the emperor and queen to wait for him.

The servant hurried in and said anxiously: "Grandpa, Grandpa, Your Majesty and Empress are here! Here they are! Wake up!"

Su Cheng threw off the blanket sleepily and sat up, and then wiped his face with a hot towel from the boy, then took a dry towel and sprinkled it aside, then straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Let's go, Go to greet you."

The train station is very lively every day, but today's train station is a little quiet, because it is still early, and it will become lively after another hour or half an hour.

The train was already ready, the carriages were all ready, the doors were opened, coal, rice, meat, and water were all well prepared, and the craftsmen were all well-rested and waiting quietly, everything was ready , just waiting for the departure.

When Su Cheng walked to the gate of the train station, he saw a mighty team had arrived.

"I see Your Majesty and Empress!" Su Cheng said respectfully.

Li Shimin got off his horse and said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite, are you ready?"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Everything is ready, the front compartment is for your majesty and the empress, the rear compartment is for the maids and servants around your majesty and the empress, and the rear compartments are for your lords." Yes, the compartment at the back is for the guards."

The arrangement was very appropriate, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and said: "Then let the guards wait for the car!"

Su Cheng waved his hand immediately, and the guards stepped forward to lead the guards onto the train.

Empress Changsun got out of the carriage, followed by a row of maids and servants. They were either carrying food boxes or carrying packages, and they were fully prepared at first glance.

Empress Changsun and Li Shimin were not in a hurry to wait for the train. After all, it took some time before the guards just waited for the train.

Li Shimin looked at the series of carriages, and asked suspiciously: "The front carriages have glass windows, and the rear carriages have wooden windows?"

Su Cheng explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, that is a special carriage made by me for my own use. Because the glass is too easy to break, normal carriages use solid wooden windows."

Li Shimin couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this. It's really good to use glass as the carriage, but the train runs thousands of miles every day, and there are people coming and going, so using glass as the window is indeed easy to break.

Su Cheng even made a special compartment for himself?
Li Shimin nodded and muttered: "I will also make a special carriage, and I will also use glass as the windows. As for the layout and furnishings inside, please design it for me first."
