Chapter 148 Autumn Harvest in Wannian County

Zhao Chen did not tell Uncle Fu about this matter.

The old man is old, so saying these things has no use except worrying him.

Fortunately, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu came over today.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the tavern, they took a jar of wine from behind the tavern counter and filled it for themselves with a proud look on their faces.

This time both of them brought back a lot of money.

You have earned enough face in the house.

After all, it would be really difficult to save 10,000 yuan if they only relied on their parents' salaries and rent.

"Brother, tomorrow is the autumn harvest in Wannian County. We have told our family about this and they will go there together tomorrow."

"By the way, did you know that today His Majesty told the ministers about this matter in the court hall, and tomorrow the saint will come to Wannian County, accompanied by hundreds of officials." Cheng Chumo drank a bowl of wine and said to Zhao Chen.

Cheng Chumo also learned the news from his father, Cheng Yaojin.

Although he was a little curious about why the emperor went to Wannian County, Cheng Chumo didn't care about this matter.

Ever since they knew that Zhao Chen's hometown was in Wannian County, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu had always wanted to visit it.

Both of them are curious. Zhao Chen is similar in age to them, but he is just an ordinary person.

Why is he so capable?

The two wanted to explore it in depth.

"Hundreds of officials are accompanying them, such a big battle?" Zhao Chen was also a little surprised.

Although he had no intention of hiding the rice matter, otherwise he would not have mentioned it to Lao Li Tou.

It was just that both the saint and the queen went, and even brought hundreds of officials with them, which made Zhao Chen feel that it was a bit too much.

"I heard from my father that His Majesty attaches great importance to the autumn harvest of Wannian County, and even repeatedly claimed that it was the auspiciousness of the Tang Dynasty."

"Although the officials in the DPRK don't believe it, they don't dare to go against His Majesty's wishes. There will be a lot of people coming by then." Qin Huaiyu and Zhao Chen explained.

"The emperor and the queen will also come?" Zhao Chen sat down aside, with a faint expression of interest on his face.

Excited.

He has been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, but he has never seen Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

I thought that this time, I would be able to see it.

"Yes, but the Empress is not in good health. She will probably stay on the chariot and probably won't be seen." Cheng Chumo said slowly.

"It was indeed the ninth year of Zhenguan." Zhao Chen muttered.

If he remembered correctly, Queen Changsun only had a few months left.

However, Zhao Chen did not take this matter to heart.

Now in the Tang Dynasty, he only hopes that his friends and relatives around him are in good health. As for other things, he doesn't care.

"By the way, Li Ruoshuang and her mother will come over tomorrow, and I have two older friends who will come over too."

"One of them is my aunt. My aunt is not in good health. You two must not talk nonsense when the time comes." Zhao Chen thought of his aunt who treated him like his own son and told them.

These two guys are very straightforward.

Zhao Chen was worried that they would talk nonsense again.

"Don't worry, are we both that unreliable?" Qin Huaiyu curled his lips.

…

In recent days, Li Chengqian has behaved himself.

Every day, he went to the palace to greet the emperor and the empress, and when he came back, he would lock himself in the study and read.

He looks like a wise prince.

After Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng had dinner at a restaurant in Chang'an City, they received an edict from Li Chengqian.

The two of them burped and arrived at the Prince's East Palace.

Seeing Li Chengqian, the two of them naturally saluted.

Although Wei Zheng didn't like Li Chengqian very much, as Li Chengqian's teacher now, it was hard for him to offend Li Chengqian's face.

The three of them sat down in the study.

Then I heard Li Chengqian say, "My father has asked all ministers in the court to go to Wannian County tomorrow to witness the auspiciousness. Prime Minister, Master Wei, do you know what this auspiciousness is?"

"You actually made your father so aggressive?"

Li Chengqian sent people to search, but he didn't hear anything auspicious in Wannian County recently. .??.

Wannian County is peaceful, where is the auspiciousness?

It's just that the emperor actually asked all civil and military officials to go to Wannian County tomorrow. It was really strange.

Li Chengqian thought for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason for the emperor's behavior.

"Your Highness, it is strange to say that Zhongshu Province has not received any documents regarding Wannian County's auspiciousness." Fang Xuanling shook his head.

He didn't know where the emperor learned about the auspicious news in Wannian County.

All matters in this world must be submitted to Zhongshu Province first.

But there was no news at all about Fang Xuanling. How could the emperor know about it in advance?

"No news from Zhongshu Province?" Li Chengqian was even more doubtful now.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said it is auspicious. I will go and see it later. As for the others, I, the minister, cannot be suspicious."

"I still have something to do at the Yushitai, so I'll take my leave now!" Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian cupped their hands, nodded to Fang Xuanling, and turned around and left the East Palace without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak.

A trace of annoyance flashed across Li Chengqian's face.

He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and this Wei Zheng actually left as soon as he said so. He really didn't take Li Chengqian seriously.

"Your Highness, please don't be upset. Wei Zheng has this kind of character. Even His Majesty, he has the same attitude." Fang Xuanling saw Li Chengqian looking annoyed and explained with a smile.

"Doctor Wei is working hard on state affairs. How can I blame him? If I go to Wannian tomorrow, I will know what the auspiciousness my father mentioned is." Li Chengqian waved his hands with a smile on his face, as if he didn't Annoyed by Wei Zheng’s powerlessness just now

fire.

"Your Highness, do you still remember Zhao Chen?" Fang Xuanling suddenly asked.

"Zhao Chen? Isn't that a member of my father's family?" Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment and then remembered the name Zhao Chen.

He still remembered that Du He went to recruit Zhao Chen because of his order, but was later captured by Cheng Yaojin.

Then news came that Zhao Chen was from the emperor.

Although he felt it was a pity in his heart, Li Chengqian did not dare to compete with the emperor for people.

But when Fang Xuanling mentioned this now, Li Chengqian couldn't figure out what he meant.

"Zhao Chen made a lot of money during this heavy rain. He is just a civilian, and now he has been targeted by several people with five surnames and seven looks."

"I feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can help me, so that I can make a wise impression in front of His Majesty." Fang Xuanling said.

"But he is from my father, and I am close to him..."

"Whoever lets the prince get close to him, just be kind to him." Fang Xuanling said.

…

The next morning.

The civil and military ministers of Chang'an City got up one after another, sat in their own carriages, and gathered at the gate of Chang'an City.

The people of Chang'an City who got up early had never seen such a battle before, and they couldn't help but feel curious.

But there are also people who know why these officials gathered at the city gate.

There was a heavy rainstorm in Chang'an City in January. Although it did not cause large-scale harm to the people, I heard that there was good luck in Wannian County.

The people in Chang'an City were extremely curious.

"Hey, why are the Beiya Imperial Guards here too?" One person pointed at the fully armed soldiers rushing towards the Suzaku Avenue in front, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

The Beiya Forbidden Army is responsible for the defense of the palace and has never been mobilized.

Today, even the Beiya Imperial Guards came.

It's really strange.
