"Liulang, you built so many sheds at once, and this place is at the gate of the imperial city, are you not afraid of being blamed by your Majesty and the ministers in the court?" Yan Bei looked at the busy workers in front of him, very puzzled asked puzzledly.

As Yanbei dialect says, this is the square in front of the Suzaku Gate in the imperial city. Although this square has no name, because it is right in front of the Suzaku Gate, the folks generally call it Suzaku Square.Li Shimin will hold any important celebrations here when he needs to have fun with the people. For example, during the annual Shangyuan Festival, a lighthouse or light wheel will be built by the royal family on the square, which will not only attract a lot of people from Chang'an and Chang'an The people nearby watched it, and Li Shimin would also take the princes and princesses to watch from the top of the city.It is also because Suzaku Square is so important that it is usually closed to the outside world, and even if someone accidentally breaks in, they may be sued for it.

"Don't worry, I've borrowed this place from my father for a few days, so no one will take care of me even if I set up a hut here!" Li Yin assured, patting his chest.

After measuring the distance between Li Shimin's steps last time, Li Yin proposed to borrow this Zhuque Square for a few days. Li Shimin was puzzled, so he asked him what he was going to do. Zhou brought some gifts and wanted to give them to his father, but these gifts were relatively large, so they needed a spacious place to put them, but he refused to say what the gifts were.

As a result, Li Shimin became even more curious after hearing this, because he really couldn't figure out what kind of gift it was.Need a big square to display it?But seeing that his son obviously wanted to give himself a surprise, Li Shimin didn't ask any more questions, and agreed to Li Yin's request with a smile, so today's scene happened.Capital Datang 220

Yan Bei heard Li Yin's vulgarity, and couldn't help rolling his eyes at him. He came to Li Yin today to discuss the promotion of weights and measures in several industries, but he was dragged by Li Yin to Zhuque Square to see people. Build a shed.These sheds are in the shape of a huge circle, with several entrances and exits opened on all sides, and they are in the very center of the circle.It is a high platform four or five feet long.

"Liulang, why are you building so many sheds, and what's the purpose of the high platform in the middle?" Yan Bei asked, pointing to the similarly built construction site ahead.It is now the end of the twelfth lunar month.And after the Chinese New Year, according to the habit of previous years, the lighthouse or light wheel for the Lantern Festival will start to be built on Suzaku Square, that is to say, all the illegal buildings like Li Yin will be demolished by then.

"Oh, this..."

Li Yin reckoned that the time was almost up, and the things on the road were about to arrive, so there was no need to lie to Yanbei anymore, but just when he was about to explain, he suddenly heard a loud sound of horseshoes in the distance.When he and Yan Bei turned their heads, they saw Sanqi rushing towards this side, followed by many guards.

After the group approached, Li Yin and Yan Bei realized that the three brothers Li Yun, Li Zhen and Li Zhi were in front of them.And judging from their appearance, it seems that they came to find Li Yin.Li Yin was also a little surprised by this, because he couldn't imagine how these three brothers with very different personalities would suddenly get together?

"Sixth brother, I finally found you. We went to your house just now. But Gao Zhong said that you are here. I would have come here if I knew it!" When the three of them approached, Li Zhen, who was in the front, immediately shouted. .

"The three of you came together to look for me. I guess there must be nothing good!" Li Yin walked over to help Li Zhi, the youngest, hold Ma Jiang, and then said to the three younger brothers angrily. Something happened to him, but he already had an ominous premonition.

Li Zhen and the three of them immediately looked at each other and smiled when they heard Li Yin's words, and finally Li Zhen, who was the most courageous, said, "Sixth brother, don't you want to go to Liuqiu after the Chinese New Year? See if you can..."

"No!" Before Li Zhen finished speaking, Li Yin interrupted him loudly.At this time, Li Yin finally knew why he had an ominous premonition. It turned out that these boys were tired of staying in Chang'an, and they wanted to follow him to Liuqiu to play.It is not the land of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is Lu Qing sitting on the island, it is still in a state of anarchy. If there is any accident, he can't explain it to Li Shimin and their mother.

"Why not, doesn't the third brother want to go with you? We are all brothers, and the sixth brother can't be partial!" Hearing Li Yin's refusal, the hot-tempered Li Zhen immediately shouted dissatisfied, while Li Yun was With a dejected look on his face, as for Li Zhi, a cunning little guy, his big eyes kept rolling, and he seemed to be thinking of some terrible idea.

"Cut! The third brother is older than me, and he has also served as the governor of a state in other places. If I go to the south, the third brother can help a lot. If you go there, it will only add to the "chaos". I won't have the time to take care of you then!" Li Yin said with a look of disdain, but Li Zhen and Li Zhi were really speechless.

"Well... Sixth Brother, I...Although I am one year younger than you, I also went to Xiangzhou to serve as a governor for a year last year. I only returned to Chang'an a few months earlier than you, so if you bring me, Maybe I can help you too?" But at this time Li Yun said a little timidly, looking at him, it seemed that he really wanted to go to the south with Li Yun.

"This..." Li Yin hesitated for a moment. For Li Yun, his younger brother, Li Yin still valued him very much. It was thanks to him that he was able to win Songtsan Gambo in the last cycling race around the city. It can also be seen that Li Yun is a very smart person, but it is a pity that he is too timid. He usually looks a little nervous when talking to his brother. It seems that it is necessary to take him out for exercise.

Thinking of this, Li Yin finally nodded and said to Li Yun: "Okay, you can go, seventh brother, but you must first obtain the consent of your father and your mother, otherwise I will not take you to sea!"

"Okay, no problem! Thank you Sixth Brother!" Li Yun was so excited that he almost jumped up when he heard that Sixth Brother agreed to bring him. There is a faint expectation, and I really want to see the scenery on the sea with my own eyes.It's just that his brave prince didn't dare to ask Li Yin at all. If it wasn't for Li Zhi and Li Zhenhe's instigation today, he might never dare to make this request in his entire life.

Li Zhen and Li Zhi saw that the sixth brother only agreed to take the seventh brother, which made them even more dissatisfied. Originally, this matter was initiated by Li Zhen, and then they reached an agreement with Li Zhi to beg Li Yin, but the two boys felt that The strength is too weak, so they called the seventh brother Li Yun to make up the number, but they didn't expect the result to be like this, which made them feel full of grievances.

It was precisely because of this that Li Zhen and Li Zhi refused to obey Li Yin, and pestered each other to bring them with them, but Li Yin refused to agree, and the two sides stalemate for a while, neither of them willing to give in.

While the three Li Yin brothers were arguing, there was also a quarrel taking place at the southernmost end of Zhuque Street facing them, that is, Mingde Gate, the main entrance of Chang'an City.One of them is the gate guard of Mingde Gate, and the other is a huge convoy, and the most conspicuous thing in this convoy is a huge cargo dragged by dozens of oxen and horses. A specially-made big sled, with a row of logs under the sled, it seems that this primitive method was used to pull the goods along the way.

"Why don't you let us in? Let me tell you, we are from Prince Qi's Mansion, and these are all things His Highness asked for by name. If you delay His Highness's important affairs, will you feel guilty?" Zhou Yu Flushed with anger, he pointed at the guard at the city gate and yelled loudly.Originally, he didn't want to use the name of Prince Qi's Mansion to overwhelm others, but the other party refused to let them enter the city, so he was forced to use Li Yin's name in desperation.Capital Datang 220

The one who stopped them was a school lieutenant of Zuo Xiaowei. When he heard that the other party turned out to be a family member of Prince Qi's mansion, he was also taken aback. However, he also had his own responsibilities, so after being shocked, he replied coldly: " Hmph~, so what about the people in Prince Qi’s Mansion, the duty of the school lieutenant, other goods can enter the city, but that’s the only one!”

The captain pointed to the huge cargo on the sled, and said firmly: "You must never enter Chang'an!"

"Why, they are all the same goods. We pulled them all the way from Dengzhou, why don't we let them enter the city?" Zhou Yu also became excited. In order to transport the goods to Chang'an, he suffered a lot on the way. Thinking that he was going to see His Royal Highness King Qi soon, he was blocked at the gate of the city.

"Why? You don't look at the size of the goods, and you walk so slowly. Now that the New Year is approaching, the streets are very crowded. If you let that goods enter the city, how will you let others walk?" The captain's reason It is also very sufficient, such a big guy enters the city, it will definitely cause traffic jams, and when the time comes, the superiors will blame him, and he will be the first to be unlucky.

While Zhou Yu was arguing with the captain guarding the city, a group of people slowly gathered at the gate of the city. After all, Zhou Yu and his convoy were at the gate of the city, almost blocking all five openings of Mingde Gate Now, those who entered the city could not get in, and those who left the city could not get out. As a result, more and more people gathered, and gradually some people began to shout loudly.

The shouts of the crowd finally alarmed the guards on the top of the city. As Mingde Gate is the main gate of Chang'an, naturally there will not be only a small lieutenant in charge of it. The real man who manages the gate is a general surnamed Zhao.By the time General Zhao led people down to the city gate, 500 people had already gathered inside and outside the city gate, and many of the grumpy ones were cursing their mothers loudly, and some frictions and disputes even occurred in some places. out of control.
