"My God, someone told me before that the head of the Cui family in Qinghe was detained at Mingde Gate. At first I didn't believe it, but that was the head of the aristocratic family, who dared to detain it?"

"But I didn't expect that this was true."

"God, is there something wrong with my eyes today?"

"Sir, times have changed. This Chang'an City is no longer the day when the aristocratic families did something wrong."

"These merchants actually hugged Zhaoxiangong's thighs. Even the head of the Cui family in Qinghe said he could catch them. There were not many such people in Chang'an City."

"That's right? These merchants were all asking grandpa to charge tolls, but no one paid attention to them."

"I even tried to deal with this before, but today I've completely turned over."

"It's a pity that the convoy of Shaoqing of Dali Temple went out early just now, otherwise there might be something better."

"This county magistrate is really amazing. You see, the one who is not paying the money right now, but fortunately, it only costs two cents tolls per person and one horse."

At the gate of Mingde Gate, the onlookers did not disperse immediately.

On the contrary, more and more people came to see the head of the Cui family in Qinghe who was tied up here.

No matter what, this is not something you can encounter frequently.

Luo Tong found a stool for Zhao Chen and sat near the city gate.

The caravans that left the city and entered the city changed their previous arrogance and lined up to pay the toll obediently.

"Thank you, the county magistrate, for making decisions for us." The merchant Huang Zhi and Zhao Chen bowed and bowed, their faces full of respect.

Zhao Chen only glanced at him, nodded, and didn't say anything.

The days of guarding the city gate were boring, but fortunately, Zhao Chen didn't have to stand there himself.

The students of the academy were very dedicated to doing everything beautifully.

He just needs to sit here.

Li Ruoshuang brought food to Zhao Chen at noon, but these guys really envied them.

Everyone seems to know that Zhao Chen is in charge of Mingdemen.

The day is about to pass, and no more carriages of Chang'an City officials passed by here.

Zhao Chen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

I thought to myself whether I would change the city gate to guard the city gate tomorrow!

Until the night approaches, fewer people enter and exit the city gates.

However, a convoy suddenly appeared outside the city. Looking from afar, it was the convoy of Shaoqing of Dali Temple who left the city in the morning.

...

"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhao Chen was blocking the Censor Cui at Mingde Gate today, and the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, all stopped him."

"The head of the Cui family in Qinghe refused to apologize to the merchants, and is still being held by Zhao Chen at the city gate for the people to watch. I don't know how many times I went to be angry."

"I think if you send someone to let Zhao Chen let him go. After all, Cui family in Qinghe is a family of aristocratic families, so there is no need for Zhao Chen to make enemies frequently."

In Ganquan Palace, Empress Changsun came here specially.

Seeing that the emperor was dealing with government affairs, he didn't care whether he would disturb him, so he walked over and said to him.

What happened in Mingde Gate today was not only known by Chang'an City, but also by the imperial palace.

Empress Changsun also heard the palace maids around her discussing and realized that these things were happening outside.

Hurry up here.

Li Shimin put down his pen and took a sip of fragrant tea without any haste.

He said slowly: "I have just learned about this. Zhao Chen suffered a grievance in the court yesterday, so he let him vent his anger today. Otherwise, with that boy who dared to kill Cui Yan, who would know what would happen to him?"

"Let him vent his anger, and protect the ministers in the court."

"In addition, Guanyin Bi knew that those merchants decided to repair the Suzaku Avenue after discussing with all the officials."

"I have already given subsidies to the so-called tolls of the officials in addition to their salaries, but those guys, one by one, look down on merchants from the bottom of their hearts."

"I have spent money, but I have to be given a reputation for being distrustless."

"They need a tough character to clean up, otherwise they will really think I am a fool!"

The emperor asked Zhao Chen to go to Mingde Gate to guard the city, which was just a few meanings.

The first one is because he had to deal with Zhao Chen in the court yesterday.

Secondly, I want Zhao Chen to vent his anger too.

As for the third reason, the emperor himself was very dissatisfied with the officials in the court.

The salaries of officials in Chang'an City have been increased, so that they do not have to pay the toll out of their own pockets.

But these guys want to get all the money.

It doesn't matter if you bully merchants, but what the emperor can't stand the most is that no one gives tolls.

It seems like Li Shimin is a liar.

Now, what you promised was passively broken by those merchants.

Is this so great?

The emperor felt that if he would severely punish these people, nothing he said would work in the future.

"Does Zhao Chen know that Your Majesty mean this?" Empress Changsun was still not relieved.

If this continues, wouldn’t Zhao Chen have a quarrel with most of the officials in the court?

The whole court is full of enemies, how can Zhao Chen gain a foothold in the future?

"That kid is very sensible. Many times, I only need a look and he understands. Not to mention anything else, this is why I like that kid very much."

"Cui Yan's death shocked everyone by Zhao Chen's methods. Letting him do this at this time is the best candidate."

"After this time, Zhao Chen will leave an indelible impression among all the court officials. As long as you exert some favors, it will be easy for someone to surrender, so for Zhao Chen, this is actually a good thing."

"Guanyin maid, I'm so worried about that boy. You said that Zhao Chen knew his identity in the future. Will he be moved to cry when he thinks of today?" Li Shimin said with a smile, looking quite contented.

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will jump off the feet for Zhao Chen again." Empress Changsun chuckled.

"How is it possible? I am the emperor and my mind can cover the whole world. How could that boy jump out of his foot and leave and go to Mingde Gate with me to see it?" Li Shimin stood up and said to Empress Changsun.

...

"Sir, it's the convoy of Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Fang Yizhi's eyes were sharp, and he saw the convoy coming in the city gate at a glance, but his expression was a little embarrassed.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is only under the Dali Temple Minister, and he controls the world's criminal and prison lawsuits.

This position is very important and has a wide connection.

It is not comparable to the Cui family in Qinghe, which has gradually declined.

It is not something that Censor Cui can compare with.

Fang Yizhi even wanted to persuade Zhao Chen and Dali Temple Queen's convoy, so he left the mercenary.

However, he never knew how to say this.

So he had to wink with Qin Huaiyu.

Cheng Chumo is an impulsive guy. Zhao Chen says whatever he says, and rarely considers the consequences.

But Qin Huaiyu is different, he is much more cautious.

He is also very close to Zhao Chen, so he advises him to be better than himself!

Qin Huaiyu also understood what Fang Yizhi meant, walked to Zhao Chen, lowered his head and said, "Zhao Da, it's getting late, so why not go back and rest first, so we will guard this place..."??
