Chang Anqing

Chapter 285
After Li Sui and Zhao Yi got into the carriage, the carriage moved forward slowly, seeing that Li Sui had closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the carriage as if resting, Zhao Yi naturally did not speak, and sat silently with her.

After a while, the carriage stopped slowly, and when Li Sui was surprised, he heard Zong Ming's voice from outside.

"My lord, my concubine, we are here."

arrive?

The Royal Mausoleum Palace is at the foot of the Daming Palace, and there is still a long distance from the Pingchang Silk and Satin Workshop in the west corner of the imperial city. How could it be so early today?
Hearing the still noisy voices outside the car, Li Sui couldn't help stretching out his hand to lift the curtain, but outside the window he saw Xingyefang, which was still rubbing shoulders and buzzing with people.

Sensing Li Sui's gaze, Zhao Yi said: "It's already noon, and I heard that this delicacy shop has spent a lot of money to hire chefs from Jiangnan and the Western Regions. It attracts thousands of people, let's try it today."

"I'm a little tired today, let Niannu and the others go buy some and bring them home—"

After all, Li Sui lifted the curtain and wanted to call Niannu and the others outside the car, but before she could speak, Zhao Yi got out of the car first, stretched out his hand when she was surprised, and said to her in a warm voice: "Come on!" Shi Zongming has booked all private rooms, if you don't go, it will be a waste of money."

"Yes, princess, it's hard to book a seat here, and you have to queue up early in the morning with money."

Listening to Zong Ming's chattering, looking at Zhao Yi who was in front of the car, and his hand reaching out to her, Li Sui didn't shirk after all, put on his veiled hat, put his hand on it and walked out.

When they entered the workshop side by side, they glanced at Li Sui who was unaware beside him, and Zhao Yi had a silent smile on his brows, and glanced sideways at Zong Ming, who immediately nodded with comprehension, and retreated silently.

After entering the workshop, and going up to the private room on the second floor, when he was leaning on the railing and overlooking the window, even Nian Nu behind him was moved.

It has to be said that the location Zhao Yi chose is really excellent. From a distance, he can see the majestic Daming Palace surrounded by layers of squares, and even the golden light jumping on the tile eaves. He can also see the Xingsheng Street in front of him. There are Hu and Han people who shuttle back and forth.

Hundreds of thousands of homes are like a game of Go, and Twelfth Street is like a vegetable garden.

In terms of grand scale, neat and spacious, this Chang'an city deserves to be the land of dragon spirit that has stood up through the ages.

Just as Li Sui was thinking about it, the doctor in the store respectfully offered snacks and tea before the meal.

After ordering the dishes, he took a sip of tea and looked down at the land under his feet. Li Sui's eyebrows seemed to be relieved a lot.

Looking around at the elegant and expensive furnishings in the private room, Li Sui put down his teacup, looked at Zhao Yi who was facing him and said, "The first time you and I ate together at the same table was at a roadside stall, today you and I But spend a lot of money here to eat a meal. Since the founding of the country, His Majesty in the Palace and His Royal Highness the Empress have set an example and practice frugality. A meal is nothing more than four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables. If this is called Yushitai Those people have seen it, and they will inevitably charge you and me with a crime of extravagance and pleasure."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Zhao Yi smiled, didn't look over, just stroked the teacup in his hand, looked down at the noisy tunnel in front of him and said: "Since you want to bear such a big crime, you have to see if today is worth it .”

Hearing that there was something in Zhao Yi's words, Li Sui looked over suspiciously, but saw that he smiled with her, and he didn't intend to say anything.

But at this moment, Li Suizheng saw the crowd at the end of the street involuntarily step aside, and saw about a dozen men in armor and horses walking slowly through the crowd, with the sound of horseshoes ticking neatly Strict, well-trained at a glance.

"Jin Wuwei?"

Jin Wuwei, when the emperor travels, he leads the apse first, patrols day and night, and is responsible for guarding when he stays overnight. He also has the right to patrol and guard the palace and the capital day and night.

Li Sui moved his eyes from the dazzling line to Zhao Yi, and seeing the sincere smile in Zhao Yi's eyes, he said to her leisurely: "You don't like Shu cuisine, but there are also dishes from the Western Regions. Hump ​​Sunburn, you can taste this one if you like it.”

Although Zhao Yi turned a blind eye to it, his intuition told Li Sui that something must happen here in a while.

Sure enough, when Jin Wuwei and his party were about to arrive at the delicacy shop, there was a sudden commotion on the street behind Li Sui, which made the crowd scream in surprise. When Li Suishun looked back, he saw several young men on light horses The domestic slaves were galloping past recklessly, driving away the crowds on the side of the road. Even the passers-by reacted too late, fell to the ground in fright of the high-headed horse, knocked over the peddler's stall, and cried the child in the woman's arms. The commotion made people panic and flee endlessly, but it didn't affect their speed at all.

Seeing this, Li Sui frowned slightly, and when he looked closely, he saw a gorgeously decorated and imposing carriage following those young servants.

There is no doubt that the person in the carriage is the instigator.

And those domestic slaves are nothing but the generation of rats and dogs who pretend to be powerful.

At this moment, looking at Zhao Yi who was calm and gradually becoming silent, and looking at the Jinwu Guard who was getting closer, Li Sui vaguely understood what Zhao Yi said was worth or not.

He only heard the deafening neighing of steeds, and Li Sui, who was sitting on the second floor, turned his head and saw the rampant boys rushing to the street downstairs, just in time to meet the Jin Wuwei. However, the Jinwu Guard is not one thing more than one thing less, the people who dare not conflict with the powerful, faced such a scene, they have already lined up downstairs without moving a muscle, when the leading man raised his hand to signal, only a clang was heard , more than a dozen Jinwu guards all immediately flashed their bright knives, blocking and killing the group of house slaves who didn't know what to do, and the arrogant master behind them.

"Call-"

Almost at the same time, the group of flamboyant domestic slaves were defeated before this ruthless confrontation, and they pulled the reins urgently, watching helplessly that the knife was only a short distance away from them, chilling their pupils.

"You! You! Do you know whose car this is! How dare you be so rude—"

Even so, the arrogance of those house slaves did not subside in the slightest, instead they pointed at the Jin Wuwei in front of them, intending to reprimand arrogantly.

But before they finished speaking, there was a cold snort in the car, and the group of house slaves immediately fell silent, and then the curtain of the car was lifted, and Yang Xingjian, the king of Fufeng County, leaned out and stood in the car. Before, he looked disdainfully at the Jinwu guards who were waiting in front of him, without any respect on his face, instead he looked impatiently at the group of slaves under him and said, "Why stop? Why don't you continue to walk for me—"

"Gyeonggi is an important place, except for emergency military situations, princes and people are not allowed to gallop in the downtown area!"

Yang Xingjian hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Zhenkong's warning voice. The man headed by the Jinwu Guard was solemn and uncompromising. State law."

Unlike other prefectures and counties, Chang'an is called the foot of the Son of Heaven, the land of dragon spirit, but it is also a place where the bureaucrats and nobles of the current dynasty gather, and the barbarians and foreigners gather together. In Chang'an City, where a falling stone can hit countless nobles, those An idler, the second ancestor of his own family never takes the law seriously.Fighting cocks and running dogs, amassing money, competing for prostitutes and concubines, picking quarrels and making trouble are all common occurrences, don't be afraid of them.

Therefore, Yongzhou Mucai, who is in charge of the capital, has always been appointed by the emperor's own son and brother, while the Jinwu Guards patrolled and arrested them.

However, I heard that Jin Wuwei now has an unselfish and civilized and military general in the Yifu Zhonglang, who has frightened the world with the power of one person, and curbed the bad wind in Chang'an a lot. I think it is most likely this one.

Seeing the confrontation between the two sides downstairs, Li Suiyue had no idea what kind of drama Zhao Yi was looking at when he spent a lot of money to buy this private room today.

Because, this young Zhonglang will be no one else, but the adopted son of Zuo Pushe Han Shou, the Minister of the Dynasty.

And this Han Shou is the founding hero of Daxing. He fought with Yang Chongyuan for decades, and even fought against the enemy with his life from random arrows. , so now he is quite trusted by Yang Chongyuan, and he was given the title of Shangshu Zuopushe, Qi Guogong's high-ranking official Houlu.
