My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty Chapter 342

Published at 27th of October 2023 05:41:25 AM

Years ago, Li Yin basically handled the main things for this trip to Chang'an. During the Yuanzheng period, Li Yin used the fireworks he brought to perform a firework show, which once again amazed the people of Chang'an City. During the whole Chinese New Year, Chang'an has always been calm, which makes Li Yin's New Year quite comfortable.

After Yuanzheng, Li Yin has no reason to stay, and plans to go back as soon as possible. After all, he is a vassal with a fief, and he also wants to avoid suspicion.

"Father, mother, and sons and servants are going back now!" Yanxi Palace, Li Yin, Li Shimin, and Empress Changsun bid farewell. This time, besides Li Yin and Li Ke, they also plan to go back together. There is no meaning here, and when he heard that Li Yin was going back, he shouted that he would also go with Li Yin.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other, both of them nodded slightly, and said: "Since you and Sanlang have a lot of government affairs in the fiefdom, the father will not keep you, but if you are not as good as Li Zhi, let them stay here." How about staying in Chang'an for a while?"

Li Yin said: "Father, I only take part of the car back, and the rest will stay in Chang'an. They can go back whenever they want."

"So good!". Then Li Shimin whispered to Li Min: "When you go back, don't forget to arrange a special fuel delivery person for the father. Although this car is good, it is an iron box without fuel."

Hearing this, Li Yin pursed his lips and chuckled, and said, "Father, don't worry, this son will never forget." After getting the car, Li Shimin was like a child who got a new toy. He drove around in a classic car throughout the Chinese New Year. Of course, the fuel consumption is terrible. Many times, the engine was turned off halfway, and the horse was finally pulled back. Only then did he understand that if he wants to drive comfortably, he must ensure the supply of fuel.

With Li Yin's words, Li Shimin felt relieved. Only then did Li Ke and Li Yin be allowed to leave.

After leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Yin and Li Ke got into the car and went to Cui Mansion to pick up Cui Shao and Lu Shi. This was the task assigned by Cui Yingying.

"Except for the emperor in Chang'an City, we are the only ones who can get in this car. Those old antiques of the Cui family are very envious!" When he said with emotion.

Li Yan saw Cui Shao's smug expression from the rearview mirror, and said: "That's right, Father now regards the classic car I gave him as a treasure. No one is allowed to touch it except the queen mother and him."

"Take this as a treasure for me." Cui Shao was full of envy. Seeing that Cui Shao looked like he was about to drool, Lu pushed him with his hands, signaling him to be more solemn.

Li Yin thought that Li Shimin gave it to him, and Cui Shao wouldn't be ashamed if he didn't. He said, "Father ordered a batch of classic cars from Yizhou. When the time comes, I'll ask someone to transport one more. It's a gift to the elders."

Cui Shaoxin was overwhelmed with surprise, but he refused: "Your Highness, how can this be done."

"It's nothing, this car is not very difficult for Yizhou to produce." Li Yin drove the car out of the city gate and said, now the guards at the gate will not check as long as they see the car, except for the King of Shu. That is Li Shimin's, and the inspection is meaningless.

When Li Yin said this, Cui Shao did not refuse. After sitting down in the car seat, I was secretly having fun, thinking that I would not envy those officials to death when I drove up to the court in the future.

When he came here, Li Yin drove slowly because he took care of Li Yuan, and also played while driving, so it took a little longer to get to Chang'an. After setting off, they arrived in Yizhou the next morning, which made Cui Shao and Lu feel like they were dreaming, and sighed for a long time.

"His Royal Highness is back!"

Li Yin's Land Rover had just stopped at the gate of the palace, and a servant immediately shouted loudly. Others also have this classic car, but only Li Yin owns this mighty Land Rover, and there is no other semicolon.

At this time, the weather in Yizhou was still a bit cold, and there was still snow on the road. Cui Shao and Lu Shi got out of the car and looked at everything around them curiously, with unconcealed surprise on their faces. The spacious cement road , passers-by in thick cotton-padded clothes, and various shops along the street are things they never see in Chang'an.

Following the servant's high-pitched voice, there was a panic in the palace, and after a while Rong Da trotted out, saying: "Your Highness, you are back so soon!"

Li Yin has not left for seven days, and his efficiency is very high. He said: "It's okay to stay around Chang'an, it's better to come back."

Rong Da echoed, "That's right, our Yizhou is more comfortable and has everything." Then he noticed Cui Shao and Lu Shi who got out of the car and said, "Mr. Cui Ge, Mrs. Lu, you are here. The princess returned yesterday. I muttered that His Highness will bring you back together, and I will tell the princess right now." After finishing speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

Li Ke also got out of the car at this time, and said: "Lang, I won't go in, I plan to go back to Jingzhou directly."

Li Yin said: "Why are you in such a hurry, can't you stay in Yizhou for a few more days?"

Li Ke said: "You have made Yizhou so prosperous now, and I am also anxious when I look at my Jingzhou. I just shipped the seeds back from you last year. This year, I plan to take care of agriculture myself."

"Well, the concubine mother said that you don't care about anything when you handle government affairs. It seems that you are right." Li Yin didn't intend to stop him. Anyway, with a yacht, it only takes one night. Li Ke You can arrive in Yizhou, and if you have enough time to come to Yizhou to play, "Then I will send someone to send you back."

"Yes, yes." Li Ke nodded.

Li Yin asked Wu Wei to call a yacht driver, and then drove Li Ke to the pier, and then drove directly into the palace.

After getting out of the car, Li Yin went straight to the bedroom. At this time, Cui Shao and his wife had reunited with Cui Yingying. Outside the room, he could hear the cries of Cui Yingying and Lu Shi and Cui Shao's persuasion.

"Hey, don't cry, you two, Yingying is pregnant, it's good if you hurt your fetus." Although Cui Shao also had tears in his eyes, he finally held back. Speaking of which, they and Cui Yingying also had two or three I haven't seen each other for a year, so it's hard to contain my emotions for this reunion.

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't cry." Lu Shi wiped the tears on Cui Yingying's face, and then asked about Cui Yingying's physical condition, how Cui Yingying raised her baby, and so on.

At this time, Li Yin had already entered the dormitory. Like Cui Shao, he could only stand aside and watch the two women talking about women, and he couldn't get in any words at all.

After standing in the room for a while, Li Yin and Cui Shao simply let the mother and daughter talk by themselves, and they turned around in the palace. Li Yin accompanied Cui Shao and introduced Yizhou's development and Cui Shao praised the various facilities in the palace, "His Royal Highness, from what you said and my observations along the way, Yizhou has surpassed Chang'an by a lot, whether it is the living conditions of the people or various novelties. Commodities, it can be said that the gap between Yizhou and Chang'an is getting bigger and bigger, and those who don't know this are still immersed in the old ideas before, and can't keep up with the progress of Yizhou."

"This is also the reason why I have never wanted to integrate Yizhou with other places in Datang too much, because the thoughts of Yizhou people and the people of Chang'an can be said to have diverged, and if they merge rashly, it will only lead to contradictions." Li Yan said in a deep voice.

"It seems that the emperor sees farther than us. He sent the emperor and princess to Yizhou to study, and he continued to send more people here because he saw this. If Datang doesn't keep up with Yizhou In the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty, the difference between the Tang Dynasty and Yizhou will be like the difference between the Tang Dynasty and the barbarians." Cui Shao sighed.

Li Yin expressed admiration, "This is also the reason why I respect my father. He is not a pedantic person, and he can easily distinguish what is beneficial to Datang, instead of relying on those old dogmas."

Nodding his head, Cui Shao frowned slightly and said, "It's not that other people can't see it, it's that they are afraid of change, just like the Cui family, who wants to pass on a thousand-year-old family, and then it falls."

What Cui Shao said was exactly the aspirations of all famous families, but they felt more and more powerless in the face of Li Yin's dominance.

"In the final analysis, you still don't want to lose your rights. For rights, you can ignore what is right and what is wrong, can't you?" Li Yin's words are very straightforward.

Sighed softly, Cui Shao was silent for a long time, and then said: "Your Highness is right, so I just hope that His Highness will not kill the gentry in the future, so that the gentry can slowly disappear."

"Cui Shi can rest assured. I don't want to fight against the gentry. I just want to create a fair environment so that poor people can also participate in government affairs. As long as the gentry don't go to war with the king, I am willing to resolve this matter peacefully. thing."

Cui Shao nodded, Li Yin's words reassured him, "I can feel relieved when I have Your Highness. After I go back, I will try my best to let the gentry and His Highness live in peace."

"Then I will trouble Cui Shi." Li Yin smiled. His plan all along was to carry out peaceful evolution in the future, but if he had to use force, he would not hesitate.

Originally, the two of them went out for a walk, but unexpectedly they discussed such a heavy topic about the gentry. Seeing Cui Yingying and Lu Shi come out of the bedroom, Li Yin said: "Master Cui, you and the princess should get together, the king still has some things to do." If you deal with it, I will excuse you first."

"Okay, Your Highness." Cui Shao also missed his daughter very much, Li Yin said so, he saluted Li Yin, and walked over there.

Cui Shao left, Li Yin called Rong Da over and said, "Is Li Jie here?"

"Return to Your Highness, Li Jie has arrived, and he is waiting for His Highness in the Palace of Political Affairs."

It was said that Li Yin was heading towards the Palace of Political Affairs. Another reason why he came back in such a hurry this time was that Li Ran sent some information from Australia and asked Li Jie to convey it to Li Yin. The construction of Australia has been almost a year Li Yin doesn't know how far it has developed. (To be continued..)
