Nothing else can be left, but a warm kang cannot be left behind.

The winter in Chang'an is chilly, and even more so Huaiyang. How can you do without a hot kang? What's more, there are so many beautiful memories on the hot kang in Huaiyang.

Fortunately, Lu Tong was prepared early, and Xie Yi was quite satisfied with this. He explained to Lu Tong a few more words and hurried towards the corner gate, and the carriage was already parked there.

The wet nurse in Huaiyang, Ping Niang, also moved to Chang'an with Lu Tong's family. Her husband worked in a business business, so she stayed at the Xie family as a servant. Ping Niang took the initiative to go forward and hug Xiaoman, and helped Du, who had not healed, get out of the car.

Although there were wooden bench steps, it was still a bit high. Xie Yi was not relieved and hurried forward to pick up Du Shiheng and walked straight to the inner courtyard.

In front of outsiders, Du blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Ping Niang saw similar scenes when she was in Huaiyang, and she had been accustomed to it. She knew one truth well: as a servant, she should never judge the master's actions, let alone make any remarks. It is best to "turn a blind eye" frequently, otherwise the fate will be very miserable.

What's more, from the perspective of an onlooker, this is clearly a pair of young men. They support each other in poverty, and still keep in love with each other when they are rich. How great!

Xie Yi carried Du into the east room of the middle courtyard. The hot kang was just right, and it was covered with thick blankets and bedding, which was just right for Du to sleep and recuperate.

"Look, do you like it?"

Du looked up and felt that the layout of the whole room was exactly the same as that of the old Huaiyang house dormitory. Not only was it the same hot kang, but even the two candlesticks under the window were exactly the same. It was almost lit two red candles, which was the beautiful but regretful night before leaving.

"Sanlang..." Du spoke but didn't know what to say. It could be seen that Xie Yi was deliberately trying to do something, and he seemed to be...

"Okay, lie down and recover from the wound. When the wound is completely healed, I will take you out for a walk and have a good view of the Chang'an Shengjing." Xie Yi smiled and said, "By the way, I will take you to Sun Shenxian to take a look, replenish blood and qi, and regulate your body!"

After a few words, Du was resting on the bed, and Xie Yi left happily, and he was a rare pure and good young man...

...

After Li Shimin commemorated the ancestors of heaven and earth, he set out back to Tai Chi Palace and went straight to Chengqing Palace.

On the first day of returning from the Eastern Tour, there was no need to be a little busy. A group of important officials were immediately summoned to Chengqing Hall. For example, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Sikong Changsun Wuji, Zhongshu Shilang Cen Wenben, Fang Xuanling, who accompanied him, and King Li Tai of Wei were also among them.

"Thank you for your hard work in these days when I am away!" There is no doubt that His Majesty Li Er said this to Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenben.

Although he was the crown prince Li Chengqian, he was actually inseparable from the achievements of these two assistants. Cen Wenben was in charge of the Secretariat and ensured that the three provinces and six ministries were operating as usual, while Changsun Wuji was more like a mainstay, ensuring that Chang'an was calm.

"Your Majesty is so serious, this is the duty of the minister." Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenben spoke in unison.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Hey, don't be humble. Cheng Qian is young. You must worry too much about the affairs of the government."

Cen Wenben bowed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is smart and diligent, and he is doing things properly. I am just helping and supporting me from the side!"

"Yeah!" Li Shimin smiled and said, "Chengqian, did you hear that? Mr. Cen is praising you!"

"Where?" Li Chengqian said cautiously: "The ministers in government affairs dare not neglect themselves, but the ministers are young and have insufficient experience. Thanks to the guidance and assistance of his uncle and Minister Cen, they can handle it calmly."

"It's great to know how to be modest!" Li Shimin said leisurely: "But you don't have to be modest. There are copies of the official documents and memorials of the three provinces and six ministries sent to Luoyang. I have read them all. They are quite diligent and have to do things properly. It's good!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was suddenly overjoyed, but on the surface he still said modestly: "The Father has praised it. During this period, my ministers felt that they lacked knowledge and political experience. They still need to learn more from the Father, read more, and ask for more benefits."

Li Shimin nodded and said with relief: "Okay, then you will work harder. After I review the memorials every day, I will send you more to the East Palace. You can study hard for a good life."

In Chengqing Palace, there was a scene of a kind father, a filial son, and a tacit understanding between the king and the minister, but King Li Tai of Wei felt a little uncomfortable. The assistant minister praised him, the father praised him, the prince was giving him points, how could others have any chance? I worked in Luoyang for most of the day, and it seemed that there was no direct result, it was really...

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "The father's Eastern Tour is already hard, and he encountered floods and assassination. My son is really worried."

Li Shimin brows slightly and smiled, "It's okay, it's all over. Thanks to the release of Xie Yi in Huaiyang, I first offer a good seed and then stand up to save my horse, which saves a lot of trouble!"

Xie Yi!

Hearing this name, everyone in Chengqing Palace felt aroused. Li Chengqian remembered what Hegan Chengji said, but Li Tai felt inexplicably angry...

"How is the Crown Princess's body?" Li Shimin did not forget to ask about his daughter-in-law's body and care about the eldest grandson (daughter) in his belly.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "I am worried about my father. Su is five months pregnant, and everything is fine now!"

"Well, please be careful when you ask the imperial doctor and the palace servant to take good care of it."

"Yes!" Li Chengqian happily accepted the order. Regardless of whether he had feelings for Su, he attached great importance to his son.

...

Everyone took their leave, but Changsun Wuji was kept. No one was surprised when the expected incident was unexpected!

Changsun Wuji is an important official from the Qin Palace and the eldest uncle of His Majesty Li Er. He also has the affection of a young man. His status and influence in Li Shimin's heart are not comparable to others, and he is the most trustworthy. Even Fang Xuanling is probably slightly inferior.

"Auxiliary machine, in the past six months... everything is fine in Guanzhong?"

Changsun Wuji's heart moved and replied: "It's pretty good, there's no trouble."

"That's good, you're worried." Li Shimin understood it and then asked again: "Auxiliary machine, how about Chengqian these days?"

I just praised the prince, but when I asked this question again, it was obviously quite meaningful. Changsun Wuji browed and said softly: "Your Highness the Prince is diligent and has handled the government properly. There are a few things that are still very beautiful."

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded: "That's all? You uncle, you can't spoil your nephew too much, as you can easily spoil him."

"Your Majesty..." Changsun Wuji was speechless.

Li Shimin said leisurely: "In the past or two years, Chengqian seems to be quite close to some court officials... There is a Qianniu named Helan Chushi in the East Palace? Do you know that Hou Junji's son-in-law took leave and went to Chenzhou to fulfill his filial piety some time ago."

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji was shocked and said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't be too careful. I think the Crown Prince has no other thoughts."

"Well, I'm just saying that I'm afraid this child will go astray." Although Li Shimin said lightly, Changsun Wuji's heart was not so calm. He raised it high and fell gently, this...

Li Shimin changed his tone and asked, "What's the important thing recently?"

Changsun Wuji calmed down and replied, "There is nothing important, but there are two things that can only be asked to ask Your Majesty to make the decision!"

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Changsun Wuji said: "One of the matter is that a court official reported that Empress Wende Shunsheng died for more than a year, and the central palace is empty and should not be suspended for a long time. Please ask Your Majesty to set up the queen as soon as possible."

"Is that so? Wei Yuancheng asked someone to report it?"

"This... I don't know that Cen Wenben is taking care of the memorials, so I haven't asked about it."

"So, what do you think about this matter?"

Changsun Wuji lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "If your Majesty asks about other things, I will definitely tell you everything, but this matter... I will not be able to say more."

"Okay, you auxiliary machine!" Li Shimin laughed and scolded, suddenly feeling a little sad in his eyebrows. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What else?"

Changsun Wuji said: "It was the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple that the emperor said that the Spring and Autumn Period was in full swing. Please invite concubines to enrich the princes and extend their children."

Li Shimin couldn't help but blush and frowned, "Why are all these broken things?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others can help deal with these two matters, but you can only ask Your Majesty to decide on these two matters."

"Then I ask you, what do you think of these two things? I know there are some things you can't say more, I just ask you priorities?"

"This..." Changsun Wuji said helplessly: "It depends on what Your Majesty plans. If Your Majesty attaches importance to the former, then both things should be paid equal attention to and handle them as soon as possible.

On the contrary, I think Your Majesty should postpone the latter... Your Majesty has been away from the capital for a long time, and I believe that all the ladies in the palace miss Your Majesty very much."

Li Shimin browsed a few times, and laughed again and scolded, "As a auxiliary machine, are you starting to be fooled with me?"

"I dare not!" Changsun Wuji was helpless. The conversation between old men could be very straightforward, so nothing mattered.

But what can you say if the person in front of you is the emperor or his brother-in-law? You can't lose your etiquette before you. What are some explicit words left on your daily life notes? Is it a stain on you?

But the facts are all there, and there is almost a year of no beauty, and there is no rain or dew to nourish the palace. All the concubines in the palace are almost becoming resentful women. It is fine if ordinary low-ranking concubines, but famous, rank and family background, such as the four concubines with noble, virtuous and virtuous concubines, if they are not nourished in time, they will directly accept their new favorites, and the harem will not be overwhelmed?

Li Shimin naturally understood and said leisurely: "Who is qualified to be in the central palace except Guanyin maid? As for the appointment of concubines, I can't take care of it now, so I'll postpone it until the beginning of next spring!"
