Chapter 342 A family reunion!

Before the New Year, Li Yan basically handled the main things that came to Chang'an. During the Yuanzheng period, Li Yan performed the fireworks with the fireworks he brought, which amazed the people of Chang'an City again. During the Chinese New Year, Chang'an was calm, which made Li Yan feel comfortable in the New Year.

After Yuanzheng, Li Yan had no reason to stay and planned to go back early. After all, he was a vassal king with a fiefdom, and at the same time he was also trying to avoid suspicion.

"Father, mother, son is back now!" In Yanxi Palace, Li Yan, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun bid farewell. In addition to Li Yan, Li Ke also planned to go back together. Without his own mansion, there was no meaning to stay here. When he heard that Li Yan was going back, he shouted that he would go with Li Yan.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other, and both nodded softly and said, "Since you and Sanlang have a lot of government affairs, your father will not keep you anymore. But letting them stay in Chang'an for a while, why not?"

Li Yan said: "Father, I just took a part of the car back, and the rest will be left in Chang'an. They can go back whenever they want."

"It's so good!" Then Li Shimin whispered to Li Yan: "Don't forget to arrange someone to send oil to his father. Although this car is good, it will be an iron box without oil."

Li Yan heard this and chuckled, saying, "Don't worry, Father, I will never forget this son." After getting the car, Li Shimin was like a child who got a new toy. During the Chinese New Year, he drove around with his classic cars. Of course, this fuel consumption was great. Many times, the fire was turned off halfway and finally asked the horse to pull it back. Only then did he realize that if he wanted to drive comfortably, he had to ensure the supply of oil.

With Li Yan's words, Li Shimin felt relieved. Then he let Li Ke and Li Yan leave.

After leaving Tai Chi Palace, Li Yan and Li Ke got on the car and went to Cui Mansion to connect Cui Shao and Lu. This was the task assigned by Cui Yingying.

"In this Chang'an City, we can only get on this car. The old antiques of the Cui family are envious!" Cui Shao and Lu were surprised after getting on the car, looking around. He sighed when the car started.

Li Yan saw Cui Shao's proud expression in the rearview mirror and said, "But, my father now regards the classic car I gave him as a treasure. No one is allowed to touch except the queen and him."

"I'm just treating this as a treasure." Cui Shao was full of envy. Seeing Cui Shao's saliva look like he was about to leave, Lu pushed him with his hand and signaled him to be more solemn.

Li Yan thought to himself that Li Shimin gave it, but Cui Shao didn't give it, and said, "My father ordered a batch of classic cars from Yizhou. At that time, I will ask someone to transport one more. It will be given to the two elders."

Cui Shao was very surprised, but refused, "Your Highness, how can this be done?"

"It's nothing. This car is not very difficult for Yizhou to produce." Li Yan drove out of the city gate and said. Now, as long as the guards at the door see the car, they will not check it. Except for King Shu, which is Li Shimin's, the inspection is meaningless.

After Li Yan said this, Cui Shao refused to refuse. He sat down on the back seat and was secretly happy, thinking that he would not envy the officials to death if he drove to court in the future.

When he came, Li Yan took care of Li Yuan and drove slowly, and he also played while rushing on the road. Therefore, he spent a longer time to go back. Now he was determined to go back, so he naturally used much less time. He set off in the morning and arrived in Yizhou the next morning, which made Cui Shao and Lu feel like they were dreaming and sighed for a long time.

"Your Highness is back!"

Li Yan's Land Rover car stopped at the door of the palace, and a servant immediately shouted loudly. Others also had this classic car, but only Li Yan had this powerful Land Rover, and there was no other semicolon.

At this time, the weather in Yizhou was still a little cold, and there was still snow on the road. Cui Shao and Lu got out of the car, looked at everything around curiously in their eyes, and their faces were filled with unconcealed surprise. The spacious cement roads, the passing people wearing thick cotton coats, and the various shops standing along the streets were all things they could not see in Chang'an.

As the high notes of the servants came out, the palace was panicked, and soon Rongda trotted out and said, "Your Highness, you are back so soon!"

Li Yan left for less than seven days, and he was very efficient. He said: "It's okay to stay around Chang'an, so it's better to come back."

Rongda echoed, "That's right, our Yizhou is comfortable, everything is there." Then he noticed Cui Shao and Lu who got off the car, saying, "Gei Cui, Mrs. Lu, you are here. The princess said yesterday that your highness would bring you back with you. I'll tell the princess now." After that, he disappeared in a flash.

At this time, Li Ke also got out of the car and said, "Liulang, I won't go in. I plan to go back to Jingzhou directly."

Li Yan said: "What are you doing in such a hurry? Can't you live in Yizhou for a few more days?"

Li Ke said: "You have made Yizhou so prosperous now. I am also anxious when I look at my Jingzhou. I just transported the seeds from you last year. This year I plan to catch some agriculture myself."

"Okay, Mother said that you don't care about anything when dealing with government affairs. It seems that you are right." Li Yan didn't plan to stop him. Anyway, with a yacht, it only takes one night to Li Ke to arrive in Yizhou, and there is time to come to Yizhou to play. "Then I'll send someone to send you back."

"Yes, okay." Li Ke nodded.

Li Yan asked Wuwei to call a yacht driver and drove Li Ke to the dock again, and then drove directly into the palace.

After getting off the car, Li Yan went straight to the bedroom. At this time, Cui Shao and his wife had already reunited with Cui Yingying. Outside the room, he heard the crying sounds of Cui Yingying and Lu inside and Cui Shao's persuasion.

"Hey, stop crying. You two, Yingying is pregnant and hurt her fetal aura." Although Cui Shao also had tears in his eyes, he finally held back. Speaking of which, they and Cui Yingying had not met for two or three years, so it was naturally difficult to curb their emotions when they gathered together.

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't cry." Lu wiped the tears on Cui Yingying's face, then asked Cui Yingying's health, and explained how Cui Yingying could take care of her baby, etc.

At this time, Li Yan had already entered the bedroom. Like Cui Shao, he could only stand aside and watch the two women talking about women's topics, and he could not make any comments at all.

After standing in the room for a while, Li Yan and Cui Shao simply let the mother and daughter talk on their own. They were wandering around the palace. While Li Yan accompanied Cui Shao, he introduced to him the development of Yizhou and the various facilities in the palace one by one. Cui Shao exclaimed again, "Your Highness, from what you said and I have observed along the way, Yizhou has surpassed Chang'an too many. Whether it is the living conditions of the people or various novel commodities, it can be said that the gap between Yizhou and Chang'an is getting bigger and bigger now, and those who do not know this are still immersed in the old thoughts and cannot keep up with Yizhou's progress."

"This is also the reason why I have never wanted to integrate Yizhou and other parts of the Tang Dynasty too much, because the thoughts of the people of Yizhou and the thoughts of the people of Chang'an have been divided. If they are rashly integrated, they will only create contradictions." Li Yan said in contemplation.

"It seems that the emperor is far from ours. He sent the prince and princess to Yizhou to study, and continued to send more people to him because he saw this. If the Tang Dynasty did not keep up with Yizhou again, the Tang Dynasty would be different from Yizhou in the future, the Tang Dynasty would be like the Tang Dynasty and the barbarians." Cui Shao sighed.

Li Yan looked admiration, "This is also the reason why I respect my father very much. He is not a pedantic person. He can easily distinguish what is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, but rather than relying on those outdated dogmas."

Nodding, Cui Shao frowned slightly and said, "It's not that others can't see it, it's that they are afraid of change. Just like the Cui family, who is willing to pass on the thousand-year-old family will decline."

Cui Shao was talking about the voices of all famous families, but they felt increasingly pale and powerless in the face of Li Yan's strength.

"After all, you are still unwilling to lose the rights in your hands. For the sake of rights, you can ignore what is right and what is wrong, right?" Li Yan's words were very straightforward.

Sighing softly, Cui Shao was silent for a long time, and then said, "Your Highness is right, so I just hope that Your Highness will not kill the gentry in the future, so that the gentry can slowly disappear."

"This Shizhong Cui can rest assured. I am not trying to oppose the gentry, but I just want to create a fair environment so that the poor people can also participate in government affairs. As long as the gentry does not face my king's war, I am happy to resolve this matter peacefully."

Cui Shao nodded, and Li Yan's words calmed him down, "I will feel relieved with Your Highness's words. After I go back, I will try my best to let the gentry live in peace with Your Highness."

"Then I'll bother Cui Shizhong." Li Yan smiled. His plan was to carry out peaceful evolution in the future, but if he had to use force, he would not hesitate.

Originally, the two of them were out for a walk, but unexpectedly they discussed such a heavy topic among the gentry. Seeing Cui Yingying and Lu come out of the bedroom, Li Yan said, "Cui Shizhong, you should get together with the princess. I still have some things to deal with, so I will lose my companion first."

"Okay, Your Highness." Cui Shao also missed his daughter very much. Li Yan said this. He bowed to Li Yan and walked over there.

Cui Shao left, Li Yan called Rongda over and said, "Have Li Jie arrived?"

"Go back to Your Highness, Li Jie has arrived, and is waiting for Your Highness in the Political Affairs Hall."
