Chapter 293 Li Shimin enters the palace!

Li Shimin looked at Yang Li and said, "Are you the subordinate of the King of Shu?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, the bastard slave is the subordinate of the King of Shu, responsible for the construction of the outer city walls." Yang Li said. He had met Li Shimin when he came to Yizhou before. Although he knew that Li Shimin was coming to Yizhou, he did not expect that Li Shimin had arrived at the construction site before he entered Yizhou.

Nodding, Li Shimin really wanted to find someone to explain the situation here and said, "What is being built here?"

"When you go back to Your Majesty, because a large number of merchants have poured into Yizhou, the Yizhou city can no longer accommodate so many people. Moreover, His Highness the King of Shu is also preparing to renovate the center of Yizhou city, so he is preparing to move many people in the city to live here, and the construction of this place is a residential area." Yang Li said respectfully.

"Residential areas? Are these two-story buildings all?" Li Shimin pointed to the exquisite two-story building mixed with wood and stone that could not be seen at a glance.

"Yes, your majesty, every grid here is a residential area. There are two-story buildings like this in residential areas, and there are finally pipeline projects, and some trees, flowers and plants are planted in these residential areas."

Li Shimin became interested, "Do you still have to plant flowers and plants?"

"Yes, this is what His Highness the King of Shu said. In addition to living for the demolition of the people in the city, most of the houses here must be sold to the outside world, so the residential areas must be beautiful, and in this way, only flowers and plants can be planted and paved with rocks." Yang Li explained.

Li Shimin shook his head and thought to himself that Li Yan was really able to make trouble. He looked at a small building with two floors that had been completed and said, "You go and have a look with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Li responded and led Li Shimin to a two-story building, "Your Majesty, that's it."

Li Shimin and Cheng Huailiang got off the horse and looked at the two-story building in front of the door. They saw that the area of ​​the two-story building is actually not large, and it is only more than ten meters long. There is also a side room on the side of the two-story building. He didn't pay attention just now, but after entering the room, he was stunned. The layout of this house is very different from that of a normal house.

"Why is this strange inside the house?" Li Shimin asked.

Yang Li explained: "Because underground pipes are buried under these houses, bathrooms are designed in this house, and they are all set in the room, while the others are bedrooms and main halls, and the side room outside is the place to cook." Yang Li introduced one by one.

Nodded, Li Shimin came out of the small building, and he was no stranger to the bathroom, so he didn't find it strange. However, from his perspective, this house was very luxurious for the nobles to live in. Unexpectedly, it was only for the people to live in.

After wandering around the outer city again, Li Shimin and Cheng Huailiang rode back to the team, and at this time he felt a little shocked.

Yizhou City is getting closer, and Li Shimin has seen Li Yan and many people waiting for him at the city gate. He urged him to speed up the team. He can't wait to see the situation in Yizhou City.

"Son, please see my father!" Li Shimin rode his horse to the city gate first, and Li Yan took the officials to salute.

"No gift!" Li Shimin looked at Li Yan. His eyes were a father's pride for his son.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Yan also smiled.

The convoy stopped at the city gate, and Li Yan was about to salute Queen Changsun. At this time, the curtain of the car opened, but it was not Empress Changsun. It was a little girl with white jade. When she saw Li Yan, she laughed and didn't want the palace maid to help her and jumped out of the carriage. She rushed into Li Yan's arms and shouted: "Sixth Brother!"

Li Yan was a little helpless. The little girl, Yizi, was still as naughty as before. However, before he could come back to his senses, he ran over again. However, he did not act as unscrupulous as Yizi, but respectfully bowed to Li Yan and said, "Sixth Brother!" But it was Li Zhi, and behind Li Zhi were the seventh prince Li Yun and the eighth prince Li Zhen, all bowed to Li Yan and shouted, "Sixth Brother!"

Suddenly, so many younger brothers and sisters came, Li Yan was at a loss. As soon as he was about to speak, Empress Changsun said, "Shizi, don't make a fuss."

"Mother!" Li Yan saluted to Empress Changsun who came out of the carriage.

"No gift!" Empress Changsun got off the carriage, walked to Li Shimin, and said, "Let's go to the city first, your father can't wait to see what your Yizhou is like now?"

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Li Yan said, "Father, Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" He made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing Li Yan's restrained look, Li Shimin said, "Let's go together, we are all family, so don't be so polite. Are you still going to stay at the city gate until dark?"

Li Yan laughed and said, "Yes, Father." He followed behind, but walked with Concubine Yang.

"What your father said is, you should stay with your father and mother first!" Concubine Yang looked at Li Yan with drowsiness.

Li Yan said yes, asking Cui Yingying to accompany Yang Fei, but he caught up with Li Shimin and answered the questions raised by Li Shimin one by one.

"Is this Yizhou Government Affairs University?" Li Shimin stopped when he passed by the Government Affairs University, showed a strong interest, and walked inside.

Li Yan said: "Father, it's too late now. The students may be out of class at this time. Moreover, the car is exhausted. My father should rest for one night. Tomorrow, I will accompany my father to visit several universities in Yizhou!"

Li Shimin looked at the sky when he heard this. It was indeed dark at this time. He was a little reluctant, but he still listened to Li Yan's opinion, but his heart was as itchy as a cat scratched him.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang looked at each other and showed a helpless look, and Li Shimin's curiosity was also terrible.

As he walked along the way, Li Yan explained the buildings and scenery along the road to Li Shimin. After arriving at the palace, the sky became completely dark. Fortunately, there was electricity in the palace and it was still bright everywhere. The unique scenery of the palace made Li Shimin unable to walk anymore. He stood in front of a street light in the palace and looked up and down, "Liu Lang, there is no candle in this thing, how could it be so bright?"

Li Shi frowned. He had known that Li Shimin would have this question, because he would always ask this for the first time when he saw this person. So he told Li Shimin again that he had explained the principle he had explained countless times. Although Li Shimin had a little understanding of it, or was completely unaware of it, he would no longer ask what he knew was from Luo Anguo. After all, there were enough strange things, and this one was not bad.

When he arrived at the palace, Cui Yingying arranged for the maids to arrange the concubines, princess and princesses to their respective residences. Li Shimin didn't want to go back to rest for the time being, so he forced Li Yan to wander around the palace. Many things in the palace surprised him very much, such as walkie-talkies, poker, mahjong in the entertainment room, and even various electrical appliances in the room.

Li Yan also worked as a commentator for Li Shimin one by one and demonstrated the functions of these things, especially the walkie-talkie. Li Shimin's reaction was no less than Rongda and Jin Daqian at that time, and they were almost like monsters. However, from another aspect, Li Shimin's thoughts were still very open and quickly accepted these new things. He soon had a lot of fun with the walkie-talkie.

Everyone's residence was arranged properly, and Li Yan said to Li Shimin, who was still following the light bulb switch: "Father, it's time to go to have a meal!"

"Okay, have a meal!" Li Shimin left Li Yan's King of Shu, and even pressed it back and forth.

Because there were many people here this time, Li Yan arranged the family banquet in the main hall where the banquet was held during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, there would be so many people in the small room.

Li Shimin sat side by side with Empress Changsun in the throne. He was in a good mood and said with a smile: "It has been almost three years since I ate in Yizhou last time, but I still remember the delicious food that Liulang prepared for me at that time. Liulang, now Yizhou is said to have produced a lot of good things. This time, my father plans to stay in Yizhou for a while. You have to open your eyes."

Li Yan stood up and said with a smile: "When the father comes to Yizhou, my son will do his best to make his father return home with satisfaction."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's start the family banquet!"

"This..." Li Yan glanced at the empty seat on Li Shimin's right and said hesitantly: "Father, the emperor and grandfather have not arrived yet, should you wait for him?"

Li Shimin was stunned, and then he remembered that he had asked Li Yan to invite Li Yuan as well. He was so happy that he forgot about it just now.

He was about to speak when a cough sounded from the door of the hall... (To be continued...)
