One side faces the water and two sides are mountains.
Not far to the west, there are endless mountains.
A long time ago, this area was a barren mountain that no one wanted.
But now, this place has changed.
There are many villages and even small markets at the foot of the mountain.
And Li Shimin hadn't been here for many years. When he saw this scene for the first time, he felt a little happy in his heart.
"Now our Tang Dynasty is indeed strong and powerful."
"You can see such a lively scene in such a wasteland."
Empress Changsun also did not hesitate to praise, saying: "This is all your Majesty's credit. Without Your Majesty, how could the people of the Tang Dynasty be so happy?"
"hehe."
Li Shimin stroked his beard gently, his face full of pride.
But just at this time.
Li Shimin suddenly realized something was wrong.
There seemed to be some very familiar faces in the crowd.
Li Shimin was startled, then knocked on the car wall: "Old Zhou, stop the car!"
"promise!"
When Eunuch Zhou heard this, he quickly reined in his horse.
Li Shimin got out of the carriage and looked up at the men hawking goods on the street.
And when he glanced over, the men also noticed him.
Several men were stunned for a moment, then showed panic on their faces, and ran towards this side quickly.
Don't wait for Li Shimin to speak.
Several men then knelt down on the ground: "I'll wait and kowtow to Your Majesty!"
Although this place is not a busy place, there are many people around.
Seeing such a scene, the people around them also turned their heads and looked this way.
Then they looked at each other in confusion.
In the end, everyone suddenly reacted and knelt down one after another.
Li Shimin jumped off the carriage, helped the people kneeling on the ground one by one, and glanced at their faces one by one.
"Zhang Laosi, Wei Laojiu, Hu Ermazi!"
< br> Li Shimin opened his mouth and called out the names of several people, his eyes full of joy and suspicion: "Didn't you go back to your hometown to farm? When did you come to Chang'an?"
"Report to Your Majesty."
"We came here five years ago."
The man named Zhang Laosi was the first to speak: "And it's not just us, there are many brothers who followed His Majesty in the north and south, and now they are here."
"oh?"
Li Shimin slowly turned his head and looked at the carriage in front of him.
now.
Li Chengqian also walked over from the carriage with Su Qingling.
Seeing Li Shimin's eyes, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Liangzhou City was going to be renovated at the beginning, which occupied many people's houses."
"Later I found out that these are all my father's old subordinates."
"My son took advantage of the situation and arranged for them to come here."
Li Chengqian looked around at the people present and asked with a smile: "Is there anything unsatisfactory about living here?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Zhang Laosi said: "We are just rough guys and don't have to pay much attention. As long as we have a place to live and food to eat, that's fine."
"that is."
Wei Laojiu also said: "Besides, His Highness also gave us a house, gave us money, and allowed us old brothers to meet every day. How can we not be dissatisfied with Ha Hui?"
Hu Ermazi also smiled and said: "The most comfortable thing is to go to the mountains and have a look when you have nothing to do."
Listen to this.
Li Shimin was curious and asked: "Where is the mountain?"
"This is the Tomb of Heroes of our Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian turned to look at the mountains on the left and said, "Don't you even remember this?"
Tomb of Heroes.
It was Li Chengqian's suggestion.
Li Shimin approved the construction.
When it was first completed, Li Shimin came to pay homage in person.
However, the Tomb of Heroes at that time was completely different from today.
At that time, where were there any villages at the foot of the mountain? It was basically a wasteland.
And it was only after Li Chengqian reminded him that he reacted.
It turns out that the place I am in is the wasteland back then.
And thinking of those people lying in the Tomb of Heroes, a sad look appeared on Li Shimin's face. ??
"They are all good people."
"They are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin turned to look at the people in the arena with a gloomy expression: "You are also the heroes of our Tang Dynasty."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Zhang Laosi said: "We are just some old people who are half buried in the earth."
"You can't say that."
"Heroes are heroes, and no one can erase your achievements."
Li Shimin paused and said, "By the way, where do you live? Can you take me to see it?"
Meet these old brothers.
Some memories in Li Shimin's heart were also brought back.
The brotherhood that had slowly faded away during the imperial career was also awakening at this moment.
He also wanted to see if his old brothers were living well.
Several people looked at each other, and finally their eyes were fixed on Zhang Laosi.
"Old Four."
"Otherwise, let Your Majesty go visit your home."
Wei Laojiu said: "Our pig kennel and dog kennel really have no place to stay."
"yes."
"Your house is the best among us."
Hu Ermazi also said: "Let Your Majesty go to your house and have a look..."
"I can do whatever I want."
Zhang Laosi did not refuse. He turned to look at Li Shimin and said, "If your majesty doesn't give up, please go to this villain's house for a cup of tea." "good."
Li Shimin agreed quite happily.
Next.
The group followed Zhang Laosi back to his home.
In fact, the houses these people live in were built by Li Chengqian.
All courtyards basically look the same, even in size.
But there are still some differences between people.
Some people are bohemian, some are promiscuous, and some love to be clean to the extreme.
Zhang Laosi is obviously the latter.
His home is kept very tidy, and everything is placed where it should be, without any sense of inconsistency.
And wait for them to walk into it.
A woman about forty years old came out.
Seeing so many people coming all at once, the woman was also stunned.
"Fourth! These are..."
"Blinded your eyes!"
Zhang Laosi raised his eyebrows, glared at the woman and said, "When you see Your Majesty, the Queen, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, just bow down and salute. Where does all this nonsense come from?"
Listen to this.
The woman was stunned at first, and then she was shocked again.
Emperor, empress, prince, princess.
Isn’t this the lineup where power is at its peak today and in the future?
The woman did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately knelt down to worship.
At this moment, Queen Changsun and Su Qingling stepped forward at the same time and supported the old woman.
"Old sister, no need to be polite!"
"We are on patrol in casual clothes today, so there is no need to be polite."
Queen Changsun said in a small voice: "It's us who disturbed you."
"..."
The woman did not dare to say a word, and her body could not stop trembling.
It's not that she is timid.
I wonder who in this world can remain calm even after being helped by the Queen and the Crown Princess?
