At this moment, Li Junxian commanded the hundreds of cavalry generals Cheng Chumo and his criminals to hold them.

Needless to say, the accomplice Cheng Chumo and the others couldn't run away even if they wanted to. When Baiqi called for orders to catch Xiao Shiyun, they were ready to catch Xiao Shiyun.

Yang Fan clasped his fists at Li Junxian and said, "General Li, this matter is caused by someone. Brother Cheng and others are just obeying orders and it is not their business. Besides, Miss Shishi is a woman who has not participated in it, so there is no need to mobilize the masses."

Li Junxian was really a little amused. This person in love is really awesome, otherwise how could he say such words?

In this era, the servants in the family were also regarded as personal property, so there is a saying that both prosper and lose together. This Shishi girl is the cause of the dispute.

But this guy is very pleased by His Majesty, and it is impossible to sell his face.

Li Junxian immediately decided that Xiao Shiyun could not be arrested for the time being, but Cheng Chumo and the others involved in the case were not allowed.

Seeing Li Junxian rejection, Yang Fan was helpless and looked at Cheng Chumo and apologized slightly.

After all, I am implicated by myself and I don’t know what kind of punishment I will suffer.

There are drums on the six streets and people are gone, and there is a moon in the vastness of the nine streets.

This poem vividly depicts the situation after the curfew at night in the Tang Dynasty. The prosperous Chang'an City has extinctions and the vastness of nine streets.

Because it is winter and the sun shines during the day, although it is only the hour of Xu, the night has swallowed up the entire Chang'an City.

The forbidden night time in Chang'an City usually starts from the second hour of the Xu hour. Because the weather is cold and the forbidden night time is approaching, the imperial capital Chang'an, which is prosperous during the day, looks cold and gloomy at this time.

The time for the key to be set in the palace is the same as the curfew time in Chang'an City. The palace maids and eunuchs in each palace are checking for any valuable items left behind, or whether there are any forgotten candles that have not been put out.

What the palace fears most is fire candles. Most of the crisscrossing palaces are made of wood. Now it is a winter when the north wind is raging. As long as you walk away, you can easily cause raging fires, resulting in extremely serious consequences.

Therefore, the palace gate will be closed only after everyone has checked everything.

Of course, the concubines and the ladies in the harem slept later because they had to wait for the emperor's will to sleep.

However, they can only move in their respective residences and are strictly prohibited from running around.

After the key to the palace is set, if there is an urgent matter, you can only use a hanging basket to put it down from the wall of the imperial city and pull it up. After finishing the work, you can use the hanging basket to go out.

The eunuch on duty today has been guarding the Chengtian Gate, waiting for the forbidden night bell to ring and order the door to close down.

A burst of rapid footsteps attracted the attention of the eunuch on duty and looked outside Chengtian Gate curiously.

But a group of hundreds of cavalry seemed to be escorting someone to head straight to Chengtian Gate. The leader of the hundreds of cavalry was Li Junxian.

The eunuch dared not be negligent and shouted respectfully: "General Li, I am a polite person. It seems that the general is not on duty today. I wonder if there is any urgent matter to enter the palace?"

Li Junxian said to the eunuch: "Dear mercy, go and inform Your Majesty, and say that he has something important to ask for inquiries with His Highness the King of Wei, and he is anxious..."

When he heard Li Junxian's words, he saw that he looked anxious and did not say much. He turned his head and gave a few instructions to a little eunuch beside him.

The little eunuch nodded and ran towards the palace.

At this moment, the forbidden night bell rang.

The eunuch on duty smiled apologetically at Li Junxian and said, "General Li, the time for the key is here, look..."

As a confidant of Li Shimin, the rules in the palace are naturally clear.

When the forbidden night bell rang, except for the on-duty personnel, they could only enter after obtaining the emperor's consent.

Nodding, Li Junxian waved his hand and withdrew from Chengtian Gate.

The eunuch on duty ordered the soldiers guarding the city to close the city gate and lock it.

From Chengtian Gate to Li Shimin's bedroom Ganlu Hall, you have to pass the Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, and then pass through the Ganlu Gate. It takes at least half an hour to go back and forth.

But Li Junxian was helpless and stood straight outside Chengtian Gate waiting, as if the cold wind had no effect on him.

However, Li Tai, the King of Wei who was standing behind Li Junxian, stared fiercely at Yang Fan and others surrounded by Baiqi, and secretly decided to make them look good after entering the palace.

Tai Chi Palace is actually the general name of Tai Chi Palace, Dong Palace and Yeting Palace, located in the northernmost part of the center of Chang'an City.

The East Palace is in the east, and the Prince's residence is in the west, and the Yeting Palace is in the west, and it is the study and labor department of the children of criminal bureaucrats or palace maids, which is equivalent to the teenager labor camp.

The entire Tai Chi Palace is magnificent in scale, 1,285 meters wide from east to west and 1,492 meters long from north to south, which is three times that of the Forbidden City in later generations.

There are ten gates around the palace:

The fifth south is Chengtian Gate in the middle, with Changle Gate in the east, Yongqing Gate in the west, Guangyun Gate in the west, and Yong'an Gate in the west;

In the east, the Tongxun Gate is the Tongxun Gate; in the west, the Tongming Gate is the Jiayou Gate; in the north, the Xuanwu Gate is the Anli Gate.

Now, Li Junxian and the others are in front of Chengtian Gate.

The buildings in the palace are customized according to the front yard and the back ward. The three main halls are Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall and Ganlu Hall, all on the central axis.

There are many halls on both sides, including the Daji Hall, Baifu Hall, Wude Hall, Chengqing Hall, Wanchun Hall, Lizheng Hall, Qianqiu Hall, Shenlong Hall, Meritor Hall, Guizhen Hall, Wangyun Hall, etc.

In short, there are so many palaces and pavilions.

There are also mountains, rocks, ponds and gardens in the palace, which are both luxurious and magnificent.

The main building in the palace adopts the principle of "front dynasty and back sleeping", with the palace walls such as Zhumingmen, Suzhangmen, Qianhuamen and other palace walls as boundaries, and divides the palace into two parts: "front dynasty" and "inner court".

Zhu Mingmen and Qianhuamen belong to the "former dynasty" part, and within the "inner court" part.

In addition to the Liangyi Hall, the palace was used for the emperor and ministers to discuss court affairs, the remaining palace was used for the emperor to study, live, live, and the residence of the empress and concubines.

Among these temples, two are the most important:

One is the empress's residence, and the place is the power of a mother to be in charge of the world.

The other is the emperor's bedroom, Ganlu Hall, where Li Shimin sometimes reviews memorials, reads books, eats meals, and recruits concubines to sleep.

In the bedroom, His Majesty Li Er was soaking hot water barefoot and savoring the fragrant tea.

The interior furniture is made of fine carved yellow rosewood, and the floor mat is covered with yellow silkworm brocade.

The ceramics, paintings, screens and other items are all decorated next to it. Some are inlaid with gold edges, and the candlelight shines, which gives the furnishings in the hall a light layer of golden yellow.

The light tea fragrance spreads with the misty water vapor in the tea cup, floating in the indoor space refreshing.

He picked up the tea cup, took a sip of hot tea, letting the hot tea slide across his throat, and savoring the wonderful taste of fragrant tea conquering his taste buds, which made people calm their minds and forget their worries.

All work of the court was proceeding in an orderly manner. Now the treasury is sufficient, which makes Li Shimin, who has always been so poor that he smiled proudly.

I no longer have to do the embarrassing situation where I can't get a few stakes of coins when I pull my head like before. All of this is due to that kid.

Today is the first day that kid goes to the Ministry of Rites to serve in the Ministry of Rites, and I don’t know if he can do it.

That kid is not only able to make money but also talented. It should be easy to deal with it. I hope I don’t let down my expectations.

However, the stick was a little impulsive and had a lot of ability to cause trouble. I hope I could restrain myself after entering the officialdom.

hehe……

Li Shimin looked contented. No matter what, even if that kid is talented, he is still not used by me now.

But there was not much tea in my hand, so it seemed like I had to ask for some more with that kid.

Li Shimin was in a good mood. Suddenly, he heard that Li Junxian and Li Tai asked for a meeting, so he casually put on a robe and sat in the main hall to wait.

He asked the eunuch to make another cup of hot tea. He watched the tea gradually stretch, took a sip and savored the flavors of life.

Li Shimin closed his eyes slightly, felt the clear and natural smell coming from the tip of his tongue, and felt very beautiful.

Li Junxian and Li Tai walked into the hall softly and saw His Majesty Li Er closing his eyes slightly, holding a white porcelain teacup in his hand, and was drinking tea with a comfortable expression.

Before Li Junxian could speak, Li Tai knelt down in front of Li Shimin, crying heartbrokenly: "Father, you want to be the master of your son!"

"hiss……"

Just as he was intoxicated by the wonderful taste of tea, he was scared by Li Tai's crying and his hands were trembling. The teacup in his hand shivered, and some hot tea splashed on his hands, grinning in pain.

"Tai'er, what happened?"

Although I was a little angry, I didn't blame my son for this.

I was a little confused. Li Taigui was the prince, what big thing could make him lose his composure?

After all, my son is very proud and rarely asks parents to settle things.

At this time, Li Tai said with a sad face: "The child was beaten!"

Li Tai raised his head at this time, and Li Shimin realized that one of Li Tai's eyes had turned black, which made him unbelievable.

Is there anyone in this world who dares to beat the prince?
