"Liulang, you have built so many sheds at once, and it is at the gate of the imperial city. Are you not afraid of your Majesty and the ministers in the court blamed you?" Yan Bei looked at the busy workers in front of him and asked in confusion.

It is exactly what Yanbei dialect said that this is the square in front of the Zhuque Gate of the Imperial City. Although this square has no name, it is generally called Zhuque Gate by the people because it is right in front of Zhuque Gate. When there are any major celebrations that need to be fun with the people, Li Shimin will hold it here. For example, during the annual Shangyuan Festival, the royal family will fund a lighthouse or light wheel in the square. At that time, it will not only attract a large number of people around Chang'an and Chang'an to watch, but Li Shimin will also take the princes and princesses to watch on the top of the city. It is also because Zhuque Square has such important significance that it is not open to the public in normal times. If someone accidentally breaks in, he may even sue it.

"Don't worry, I have borrowed this place from my father for a few days, so no one cares about it even if I set up a thatched cottage here!" Li Yan patted his chest and promised.

After measuring the distance between Li Shimin's steps last time, Li Yan proposed to borrow this Suzaku Square for a few days. Li Shimin was puzzled and asked him what he wanted to do. Unfortunately, Li Yan kept it in hiding and said that he had brought some gifts from Dengzhou and wanted to give them to his father, but these gifts were relatively large, so they needed a spacious place to be placed, but he refused to say what kind of gift it was.

As a result, Li Shimin became even more curious after hearing this, because he really couldn't think of what kind of gift it was. He actually needed a large square to place it? However, seeing that his son obviously wanted to give himself a surprise, Li Shimin did not ask any further and agreed to Li Yan's request with a smile, so today's scene came into being.

Yan Bei couldn't help rolling his eyes at him when he heard Li Yan's vulgarity. Today he found Li Yan, who wanted to discuss the promotion of weights and measures in several industries, but he was pulled to Zhuque Plaza by Li Yan to see people build sheds. These sheds were a huge circle with several entrances and exits on all sides, and in the center of the circle, there was a four or five feet long platform.

"Liulang, why are you building so many sheds for nothing? What is the purpose of the high platform in the middle?" Yan Bei asked at the construction site that had been built almost before. It is now the end of the twelfth lunar month. After the New Year, according to the customs of previous years, the lighthouse or light wheel of the Shangyuan Festival will be built in Zhuque Plaza. In other words, all illegal buildings such as Li Yan will be demolished by then.

"Oh, this one..."

Li Yan guessed that the time was almost over and the things on the road should be here, so there was no need to hide it from Yan Bei anymore. However, when he was about to explain, he suddenly heard a violent sound of horse hooves in the distance. When he and Yan Bei turned around, they saw the three cavalry rushing towards this side, and later followed many guards.

After the team approached, Li Yan and Yan Bei saw clearly that the three brothers Li Yun, Li Zhen and Li Zhi were actually in front of them. And looking at their appearance, they seemed to be looking for Li Yan. Li Yan was also a little surprised at this, because he really couldn't imagine how these three brothers with different personalities would suddenly get together?

"Brother Six, I finally found you. We just went to your mansion. As a result, Gao Chong said you are here. If I had known, I would have come here directly!" When the three of them approached, Li Zhen, who was in front, immediately shouted.

"You three got together to find me, I guess there must be nothing good!" Li Yan walked over and helped the youngest Li Zhi hold Ma Jiang, and then said to the three younger brothers in anger. Although he didn't know what these three people were doing to him, he already had an ominous premonition.

When Li Zhen and the other two heard Li Yan's words, they immediately looked at each other and smiled. Finally, the brave Li Zhen said, "Sixth Brother, don't you go to Liuke after the New Year? Can you see if you can..."

"No!" Before Li Zhen could finish his words, Li Yan interrupted him loudly. At this time, Li Yan finally knew why he had an ominous premonition. It turned out that these boys were tired of being in Chang'an and wanted to follow him to Liuqiu to play. It was not the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Although Lu Qing was in charge of the island, he was still in anarchy and anything could happen. In addition, the island's hot and germicky natural environment, if something unexpected happened, he would not be able to explain to Li Shimin and their mother.

"Why can't it be? Isn't the third brother going with you too? We are all brothers, and the sixth brother cannot be partial!" When Li Yan refused, Li Zhen, who had a hot temper, immediately shouted dissatisfied, while Li Yun looked depressed. As for Li Zhi's small slippery head, his big eyes kept turning, and it seemed that he was thinking about something.

"Tsk! Third brother is older than me, and has also been the governor of a state in another place. If I go to the south, third brother can still help a lot. If you go there, you will probably only cause trouble. I won't have time to take care of you by then!" Li Yan said with a disdainful look, but Li Zhen and Li Zhi were indeed speechless.

"That..., Brother Six, I... Although I am one year younger than you, I went to Xiangzhou for a year and worked as a governor for a year. I only returned to Chang'an a few months earlier than you. So if you brought me with me, maybe I could help me?" But at this time, Li Yun said with a little cowardly. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to want to go to the south with Li Yan.

"This..." Li Yan hesitated for a moment. Li Yan still attaches great importance to Li Yun's younger brother. He was able to beat Songtsen Gampo in the last cycling race. Moreover, from this matter, it can be seen that Li Yun is a very smart person. Unfortunately, he is too timid and seems a little nervous when talking to his brother. It seems that it is necessary to take him out for exercise.

Thinking of this, Li Yan finally nodded and said to Li Yun: "Okay, Seventh Brother, you can go, but you must obtain the consent of your father and your mother in advance, otherwise I will not take you to the sea!"

"Okay, no problem! Thank you, Brother Six!" When Li Yun heard that Brother Six agreed to bring him with him, he almost jumped up excitedly. Since he heard Li Yan introduce the overseas situation at the banquet last time, he had a faint expectation for the overseas, and he really wanted to see the scenery on the sea with his own eyes. However, his courageous prince did not dare to take the initiative to propose to Li Yan. If it weren't for the inspiration of Li Zhi and Li Zhenhe today, he might not have dared to make this request in his life.

When Li Zhen and Li Zhi saw that the sixth brother only agreed to take the seventh brother with them, they were even more dissatisfied. Originally, this was Li Zhen's head, and then reached an agreement with Li Zhi to ask Li Yan for him. However, these two boys felt that their strength was too weak, so they called the seventh brother Li Yun to make up the numbers, but they didn't expect that the result would be like this, which made them feel full of grievances.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zhen and Li Zhi were stubborn and pestered each other to bring them with him, but Li Yan just disagreed. For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate and neither of them was willing to give in.

Just as the three Li Yan brothers were arguing, there was also an argument at the southernmost end of Zhuque Street opposite them, which was Mingdemen at the main gate of Chang'an City. One of them was the guards of Mingdemen, and the other was a large convoy. Among this convoy, the most conspicuous was a huge cargo dragged by dozens of cows and horses. Under the cargo was a specially made sled, and under the sled was a row of logs. It seemed that the cargo was pulled over in this primitive method.

"Why don't you let us in? Let me tell you, we are people from the Qi Palace, and these are all things that Your Highness calls for. If your Highness's important matter is delayed, will you be punished?" Zhou Yu's face turned red with anger, and pointed at the guard at the city gate and shouted loudly. He didn't want to use the title of the Qi Palace to suppress people, but the other party refused to let them enter the city, so in desperation, he still brought out Li Yan's title.

The one who stopped them was a lieutenant of Zuo Xiaowei. When he heard that the other party was actually a family member of the Qi Palace, he was also surprised. However, he also had his own responsibilities, so after being shocked, he replied coldly: "Hmph~, what about the people of the Qi Palace? The lieutenant's responsibilities are, and other goods can enter the city, but that is the only one!"

The captain said with a finger at the huge cargo on the sled and said firmly: "You must never enter Chang'an!"

"Why, it's all the same goods? We have been pulling from Dengzhou all the way, why don't we let it enter the city?" Zhou Yu was also excited. In order to transport the goods to Chang'an, he suffered a lot along the way. Unexpectedly, he was about to see His Royal Highness King Qi, but he was blocked at the gate of the city.

"Why? You don't look at the size of the goods, and you're walking so slowly. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the pedestrians on the streets are very crowded. If the goods enter the city, how can you let others go?" The lieutenant's reason is also very good. If such a big guy enters the city, it will definitely cause traffic jams. If the boss blames him, the first one who is unlucky will be him.

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