I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Therefore, the better the development of Datang, the busier Li Shimin was, and all kinds of things almost squeezed all his time.

When Li Shimin saw Zhang Nuo coming in, he almost cried, Grandpa, you've come, give me a hand!

It was funny for Zhang Nuo to look at Li Shimin's haggard look in front of him, mother, buddy is too sensible, it's a shame that he didn't do the work of the emperor or a minister, otherwise he would be the haggard one now.

You must know that Li Shimin nowadays is exercising every day. He is practicing seriously according to the exercises given by Zhang Nuo. His physical fitness is much better than before, but he is still being treated like something. Zhang Nuo doesn't realize it. It will be much better if you go up by yourself.

After all, it is not something that can be compensated by simple physical exercise. Zhang Nuo felt that he should still be a salted fish.

Looking at Li Shimin's expectant eyes, Zhang Nuo smiled dryly, and quickly handed over the invitation.

"Lao Li, well, you should also pay attention to your body and rest, uh, this is an invitation card, I just brought my sister-in-law over to play and rest for a few days, the work is endless, right, um, well, I still have something to do Let's go first, see you later..."

Zhang Nuo casually fed Li Shimin a few sips of chicken soup, and hurriedly fled away. Just kidding, what if he was really held back by Lao Li and went to discuss some state affairs? Is it possible to bear such a large workload?

Let Lao Li worry about this kind of national affairs. I can just be a rich man with peace of mind. But I am also contributing to the country. I didn’t see that I started to tap private power to develop light industry and improve people’s livelihood technology. Well, we have also contributed to the community.

Although these words are correct, but combined with Zhang Nuo's appearance of running towards the palace gate without any cover, no matter how you look at it, you feel a little guilty.

Li Shimin stood on the high steps at the entrance of the palace, watching Zhang Nuo rushing towards the outside of the palace like a rambunctious wild dog that even Cao Xing didn't care about, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Of course he knows what Zhang Nuo is worried about, isn't he worried that he will drag Zhang Nuo to discuss state affairs, but you can refuse, it is necessary to run so fast, you see that kid Cao Xing can't keep up, and he is so tired Gasping for breath, how decent is this?

But what he didn't say was that he actually planned to recruit young men just now, but Zhang Nuo ran too fast, Zhang Nuo almost ran out of the palace gate before he could say a word, what he said was useless.

Li Shimin looked down at the invitation in his hand, sighed silently, forget it, although Zhang Nuo was not called to work, but with this thing, he could finally rest for a night.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to go into the palace to continue working. He should go to the harem to see the queen. If he thought about it carefully, the queen seems to be quite tired recently, so it's good to take this opportunity to go out and relax.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's old face turned dark again, Zhang Nuo is still to blame for this matter, if he hadn't thrown all these things on the eldest grandson empress, how could his own empress be so tired.

He knew, don't look at Empress Changsun who always has a gentle face in front of people.But in fact, the most outstanding daughter of the eldest grandson's family is really the master with a beautiful chest and a rich belly. She controls so many properties of the royal family. To put it bluntly, it is her own property. As far as the queen is concerned, she will never allow herself to fail.

It can even be said that she does not allow herself to do worse than anyone else, not only better, but much better, otherwise she will be sorry for her status as a queen.

Just because of this strength, it also brought endless pressure and work to Empress Zhangsun. How can the current Lixiu Palace look as peaceful and happy as it used to be?

The people who are constantly coming in and out and coming and going are all the stewards assigned to various industries, and they all come to report work.

Chapter 835

Every time Li Shimin came to Lixiu Palace and saw his queen busy like this, he always felt that he was tricked by Zhang Nuo?

Otherwise, why would the usual emperors and empresses, even those like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, be so busy with their couples like him?

But if you want to say that Zhang Nuo has any bad intentions, then he is definitely not. He is just lazy and salty. Everything is good, but he is only responsible for making ideas. Li Shimin and his wife are the ones who work, so the final result It's just that these two have been getting more and more tired recently.

But you can't say anything yet, because the world belongs to your family, not to mention the royal properties, which are earning real money, what do you want?

So this is a conspiracy. If you come up with an idea, you can work without talking.

Li Shimin made everyone else retreat, and with a rare tenderness, he gently hugged his queen and slowly rubbed her shoulders.

Empress Changsun didn't know how long it had been since she had enjoyed this kind of treatment, but there was nothing to be ashamed of. They were old couples, and the eldest son was in his teens. Naturally, she leaned in her husband's arms with peace of mind and enjoyed this kind of treatment. Rare leisure.

After a while, Empress Changsun closed her eyes and asked softly,

"Erlang, did my uncle come over just now?"

Li Shimin paused, then pretended not to care and said,

"Yeah, I came here just now and sent over the invitation from that clubhouse. It just so happens that neither of us has had a break recently. Going to have a look is just a way to relax. You can also relax for a few days!"

Hearing Li Shimin's evasive answer, Empress Changsun glanced at Li Shimin with half-closed eyes, and asked casually as if she didn't care,

"Uncle ran very fast just now!"

"It's pretty fast..."

Li Shimin just answered reflexively, then he turned his head and squeezed the fair face of Empress Changsun affectionately,

"Guanyin maidservant, you have learned badly, you have already learned clichés!"

Empress Changsun didn't care at all about the little love between husband and wife, she rubbed against her husband's arms like a civet cat, and replied in a low voice,

"It's not that you don't know Uncle, who doesn't know him in the palace, and saw him rushing out of the palace, it would be strange if the concubine didn't know the news! But, Erlang, you What's the matter, why did you scare my uncle away?"

Li Shimin touched his nose in embarrassment, and then said a little angrily,

"What the hell, before I even opened my mouth, that kid felt the wind was not in the right direction and ran away. Even Cao Xing couldn't catch up. It's like being kicked out by a dog. Just talking about it makes people angry!"

Empress Changsun also smiled slightly when she heard this. The two brothers don't seem to be complaining tightly, but in fact their relationship is really good. Don't say anything else, let's see if he dares to take advantage of the emperor's absence. Just slip away when you speak?

Or to put it another way, if it was someone else, and you really slipped away like this, just try to see if Li Shimin will kill you.

But as for Zhang Nuo, he slipped away openly and Li Shimin just complained a few words and then he was fine. If this still can't show his feelings and specialness, then what proof is there?

So Empress Changsun didn't bother to deal with Li Shimin's matter, so Li Shimin just complained and complained, but in fact he didn't do anything at all.

She turned to another question,

"Erlang, the clubhouse is nothing more than bringing together a group of people to eat, drink, and talk about things, but according to what you just said, can you stay there for a few days?"

Li Shimin nodded, regardless of whether Empress Zhangsun was hiding in his arms or not, he sighed and said,

"Brother Zhang told me that the things he is best at are actually eating, drinking and having fun. I thought he was modest, but now I find that he is not humble at all. You will know when you go there. For a few days, there was really no problem at all.”

"Not to mention anything else, I went to see it once before. The various programs he prepared and the various entertainments he can participate in are simply dazzling. Let alone staying for a few days, you just stay for ten days Half a month, there can also guarantee that everything you play is fresh!"

Empress Changsun raised her head and looked at Li Shimin in surprise, she was a little puzzled, what is there in it, why is it a bit outrageous?

In her opinion, the so-called entertainment is nothing more than singing, dancing, playing mahjong, and throwing pots. This mahjong game was created by Zhang Nuo. Could it be that something new has been created this time?

But she's been very busy recently, and she hasn't been to Lantian City for a long time, so she really doesn't know what's going on there, but since her husband is like this, maybe she can really go there and try to relax a little bit. God, she is actually quite happy.

After all, in the past few years, the rapid development of the industry is actually based on her management like walking on thin ice. How can the difficulties, hardships and hardships in it be explained clearly in a few words.

But fortunately, my husband is quite considerate of her, and the harem is safe enough now, so she didn't worry too much, otherwise, on the one hand, I would have to be busy with outside affairs, on the other hand, I would have to spend my time in the harem, and in the end, I would have to slow down with my husband. If she was slow to explain, then no matter how powerful she was, it would be useless.

The two of them had no intention of talking at the moment, they just leaned together and slowly looked at the scenery outside the palace gate, enjoying a moment of leisure.

It is said that if old couples stay together for a long time, no matter how good the relationship is, it will be dull. Maybe this is the case for Li Shimin and his wife. The couple who have been involved in a series of things, such as enthronement, enthronement, etc., have already been linked together for life and death.

It is also because the love between the two of them is no longer comparable to that between ordinary couples, so many smart people in the harem have recognized their status, and no longer attack the queen's position, but turned their heads to please the queen. The real lord of the harem.

After all, if the queens of previous dynasties were only the lords of the harem in name, then it is completely different when it comes to Changsun Wugou. She not only has personnel rights but also financial rights.

And it's not an ordinary financial power, it's a lot of money in her hands, you want to live well in the palace, if you have a bad relationship with the queen, then I'm sorry, I'm sure you won't be hungry, but you want to live well Don't even think about it.

And there are also some concubines who have been shut up as canaries in the palace, and even want to find some errands under the empress's hands. This is better than boring visits to the garden every day!

Chapter 836 It finally begins

Zhang Nuo's invitation card sent out, the effect is naturally different, although there is no description of what to do, but relying on Zhang Nuo's rare personal invitation to be delivered to the door, everyone can't underestimate it, and the most important thing is that the above is cryptic. It has been explained, it is best to go there with your wife and children at home.

To be honest, many people were a little confused at the beginning, what is this going to do?

If it's a serious matter, why would you bring your family members with you? Wouldn't that just add to the chaos? But if it's not a serious matter, why did His Royal Highness King Qin come up with invitations in such a serious way?

They don't think that His Royal Highness King Qin's notoriously lazy temper will write invitations just because of a trivial matter. At most, it would be good to ask someone to come and notify. After all, the status is there, if it is just a gathering of everyone , There is really no need to use invitations.

But it’s useless to think about it now. Anyway, Zhang Nuo’s posture has been put on here, so let’s go and have a look. If you want to bring your family, you can bring it. Maybe you can make your children fall in love with someone else. .

Thus, a big event that swept across the entire circle of nobles of the Tang Dynasty began so quietly. Speaking of which, these nobles really never got together so well on weekdays, especially when they brought their families together.

After all, one of them couldn't find any reason for everyone to get together, and the other didn't have the venue and conditions. Although the family is big, it can't be full of people from front to back.

That's the manor that Zhang Nuo specially created, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find a suitable place. Normally, when there are such activities, Li Shimin would hold them in the palace.

In fact, they are not the ones who are the most excited and puzzled, but those wealthy businessmen who operate industries in Chang'an City and Lantian City. And the seal, as well as the seemingly plain but arrogant guards of Prince Qin's Palace standing in their house, they couldn't believe it was real.

After all, what is Zhang Nuo's status, not to mention family background, property, military power, etc., just relying on the word "King of Qin" is enough, he is really the number one king in the world.

On weekdays, it's not that they have never dealt with Zhang Nuo. Zhang Nuo is famous for two things, one is lazy and salty, and the other is that he has no airs.

But that was just a coincidence. If anyone thinks that he can really stand on the same platform as His Highness the King of Qin, Zhang Nuo doesn't need to do it himself. There.

The royal family cannot be humiliated, and neither can the king. When Zhang Nuo met them and chatted a few words, His Royal Highness King Qin is approachable, but if someone pushes his nose and face to stand at the same height as Zhang Nuo, they will be surprised Find out, you can't even get in the door.

But they just received the invitation written by His Royal Highness the King of Qin today, and no one would refuse it, not to mention the face of the King of Qin, but the approximate list of guests for the banquet that they inquired from the guards who sent the invitation one by one. Enough for them to salivate.

Those are all important figures that you can't get in touch with on weekdays. Only a fool would refuse!

On the morning of April [-]th in the eighth year of Zhenguan, the weather was beautiful, and it happened to be a sunny day, but there was also a gentle breeze. It was the most suitable day for outdoor activities.

But today, the people of Chang'an City and Lantian City saw a magnificent scene, a continuous stream of carriages with family crests poured towards a corner of Lantian City.

Everyone was muttering, is there something big going on here or what?

But even the most well-informed hadn't heard of any major events going on in Lantian City.

This is actually Zhang Nuo's strategy. In fact, many people here already know what's going on, but Zhang Nuo explained it on the invitation. Talk nonsense about what's going on here.

Although Zhang Nuo's request is a bit confusing for everyone, no one is a fool. This small request is not difficult. If you don't give this little face, when it gets out, you will still be in Chang'an city. yarn.

So in the past few days, not only businessmen, even when they meet privately, they will ask casually with an expression that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words,

"Hey, go to Lantian City to have a glass of wine with His Highness King Qin in a few days?"

If the other party understands, they will pick up the conversation immediately.

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect you to receive the invitation, bro, so we'll be together then?"

But if the other party was at a loss, then this side immediately shook his head with an inscrutable expression, unwilling to say anything more, and at the same time looked down on the other party.

Of course, that's what I thought in my heart.In their view, this is actually His Royal Highness King Qin artificially drawing a circle in Chang'an City. Those who enter this circle are qualified to stand with them and talk with them. If you don't get the invitation, it doesn't mean you can't do it, it's just that For the time being, you'd better stand aside, it's not for you to talk here.

Not to mention the undercurrent in Chang'an City, Zhang Nuo has already accompanied Li Shimin and Empress Changsun in the manor at this moment. Today, Li Shimin and his wife are not wearing the dragon robes that they usually wear in the palace. Instead, he was wearing a new set of clothes made by Zhang Nuo.

In fact, Zhang Nuo has been complaining about clothing for a long time, because Datang's clothes are too difficult to wear, not to mention the left layer and the right layer, and they have to be tied with various ropes. Layers of fabric were completely wrapped up, which was extremely uncomfortable.

So Zhang Nuo has always been advocating the improvement of clothing. He didn't want to transition to the clothes of later generations all at once.

In his opinion, Datang's existing clothing is actually quite good in terms of style, but it is a bit lacking in convenience. In terms of aesthetics, the top ones are naturally nothing to say, but the middle and low-level ones are not.

Moreover, clothing is a kind of cultural inheritance, and it is a bit too forgetful to completely change it, and everyone is not used to it.

So what Zhang Nuo brought out was a new style of Hanfu, which is the kind that younger brothers and sisters in later generations would wear to shoot videos.

Now Li Shimin and his wife are just wearing new clothes and walking around behind Zhang Nuo to have a look around, so they can see in advance what is in this clubhouse that Zhang Nuo has been planning for a long time.

Zhang Nuo has been hiding this point for a long time, and Li Shimin is very curious.

Chapter 837

Even if Zhang Nuo deliberately spared time to accompany Li Shimin and his wife, he could only take a stroll around, after all, there are too many people here today, although Zhang Nuo had anticipated this kind of scene early in the morning and arranged There are enough manpower to provide services, but if Zhang Nuo, the master, is not around all the time, it's still a bit unsightly.

So, after simply wandering around the manor for more than half a circle, Zhang Nuo started to greet the guests at the banquet hall in front.

Li Shimin didn't have anything to say, the couple were in a particularly good mood today, and they came here to rest and vacation.

In fact, this was specially arranged by Zhang Nuo. Datang currently implements a one-ten-day-one-off policy, and today's No. 20 happens to be a holiday.

If Zhang Nuo hadn't calculated it in advance, he would be really embarrassed to bring so many people to work on weekdays. After all, the banquet hall now has all the top people in the entire Tang Dynasty.

On weekdays, these bigwigs all had to go to work, even if they were on holiday, they would be on duty. When they were at work on weekdays, if something really happened, it would not be impossible for Zhang Nuo to call them all over.

But if you do it like that, on the one hand, it will be criticized if you don’t talk about it. After all, on the surface, this party is Zhang Nuo pulling a group of people to eat, drink and have fun. It’s not that this kind of thing is not good, but you are at work. But when you turned around and found that your boss had gone to a party with his wife and children, it would be strange if you didn't respond.

On the other hand, Zhang Nuo was also thinking about the atmosphere of the banquet. If he really packed up his whole family during working hours, even if he did come, he would still have to worry about the affairs in the yamen.

How good it is now, everyone is playing happily and aboveboard, there is nothing to shy away from and nothing to be ashamed of, anyway Zhang Nuo doesn't care that they care about wool.

When Zhang Nuo came to the front hall, what he saw was bustling and laughing, and Zhang Nuo was very satisfied with it.

Because for these people, on the one hand, this is indeed an opportunity to relax, and everyone dragged their children and children together to relax, and on the other hand, isn't this an opportunity to socialize?

Where did they go to meet so many colleagues in the past?

It's okay to get together every now and then in a small circle, but it's impossible for people to get together so neatly, let alone such a good atmosphere where everyone comes here in their personal capacity and with their families.

Even if it is a deadly enemy in court in the past, they have to restrain themselves a little on this occasion. One is to give Zhang Nuo face, and the other is that this kind of atmosphere is not a good time to vent. If you are offended, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Zhang Nuo didn't expect this, he just wanted to make the party beautiful.

Zhang Nuo saw that everyone was almost there, and Li Shimin and his wife came over to greet them, so he hurriedly beckoned Old Zheng to come over.

Although Lao Zheng has been greeting guests, but he is clear about his position, and has been losing some attention to Zhang Nuo, so when Zhang Nuo greeted him, he noticed it here, and quickly apologized to the people around him. past.

Zhang Nuo was not ambiguous, and directly asked Lao Zheng about the guests' visits today. Lao Zheng has a list. He is not only receiving visitors, but also silently checking the guests' visits. Now Zhang Nuo wants to Knowing this kind of thing, naturally asking him is the clearest.

Lao Zheng didn't look through the guestbook at all and replied directly,
