Li Shimin and Empress Changsun walked slowly towards the city gate, and the first thing they saw was the banner hanging on the city wall.

They were all slogans welcoming Li Shimin to inspect.

The soldiers on the city gate and the city walls were all in high spirits, and the soldiers maintaining order on both sides also stood tall.

Li Zhiyun has already arranged for the Yulin Guards to deploy, saying that they are assisting the Protectorate in defense, but in fact they are the ones taking the lead.

The welcoming ceremony was cumbersome and complicated. Li Shen, as the Protector-General of Qinghai Road, recited a lot of words that he himself could hardly understand.

"This...is all caused by you?" Li Shimin asked Li Shen with a dark face, pointing at the banner on the city wall.

"Replying to Father, it was I who did it. I am so happy that Father can come to my important city in Qinghai Province.

It can only be expressed in this way." Li Shen began to speak passionately.

Li Shimin looked up at the banner. It was the first time that his name was written on the banner.

Although it did feel quite grand, he didn't know whether it was in accordance with etiquette or not.

"Your Majesty, this is also Shen'er's thoughtful gesture." Empress Changsun on the side said helpfully.

"Yeah." Li Shimin nodded with a cold face.

Next, Li Shen introduced the officials of the Protectorate to Li Shimin. Of course, those who were qualified were officials of the fifth rank or above.

Li Shimin expressed his cordial condolences to all officials, including the soldiers of the Protectorate who were guarding on the city walls and below.

Li Shenxiang's words of loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and loyalty to His Majesty resounded through the sky.

Looking at Li Shimin with a satisfied look on his face, Li Tai and Li Zhi felt depressed because Li Shen had made all these arrangements without telling the two brothers.

He kept saying that he was not good at this, but now it seems that Li Shen’s words are indeed not trustworthy.

Accompanied by Li Shen and other officials, Li Shimin had a friendly conversation with the merchants who came to welcome him.

The focus was on inquiring about the trading situation in important cities in Qinghai and whether there were any good suggestions and opinions on the trade.

The merchants were also very excited to see Li Shimin, and they all said that under the wise leadership of Prince Ji,

For such a long time, the Trade Management Office has always maintained the principle of fairness and justice.

The officials in the management office spare no effort to help merchants complete every business deal, and they never take bribes.

They are efficient, dedicated and have always done good things and practical things for merchants and solved various problems.

Li Shen then humbly stated that he would do his best to create a good business environment for the important cities in Qinghai so that merchants from all over the world could feel at ease.

Finally, Li Shimin said that merchants are also the people of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Li family. We must get close to the people, understand their sufferings, and do our best to meet their demands.

Only when people live a good life can the Tang Dynasty become more prosperous and powerful.

The welcoming ceremony finally ended with the shouts of "Long live the Majesty".

There were many etiquettes in the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Zhenguan period.

According to Li Shen's understanding, during the Zhenguan Reign, people ate too much, and when they were well fed and warm, they thought about sex.

The national customs of the later Japan began to take shape after learning from the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period.

During this period, people paid great attention to etiquette. When scholars and scholars met each other, they would perform formalities. As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water. How could there be so much friendship?

The Japanese learned the custom of politeness when meeting each other from the Tang Dynasty, and the concept of superiors and subordinates is also very strict.

What president, what manager, Li Shen has studied with many teachers before.

Although Li Shen knew that this was a courtesy and a cultural tradition, he had not received any education in this area.

So he personally found it very troublesome.

After the ceremony, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun got on the carriage. The Yulin Guards led the way and Li Shimin's carriage entered the city.

When the people in the city saw Li Shimin's carriage, they all shouted to welcome the emperor.

This is the rule and etiquette. Not shouting would be disrespectful to the emperor.

Li Shimin also looked out the car window so that the people could see him.

Soon Li Shimin's motorcade entered the inner city and arrived at the Grand Protectorate. The central gate was wide open, and Li Shimin's motorcade drove straight in.

The carriage stopped and Li Shimin got off first. Li Tai diligently replaced Wang De's position and helped Li Shimin get off the carriage.

Li Zhi also followed suit and stepped forward to support Empress Changsun.

When Li Shen saw this situation, he curled his lips and said, "Tsk, it's like someone has no mother."

The concubines in the other carriages also got off, and Li Shen hurried forward when he saw Concubine Wei.

Just as the servant was about to put down the pier, Li Shen shouted at the stone.

"Stone! Come here."

Shitou hurried over, and immediately understood what Li Shen meant when he saw his expression. He knelt down beside the carriage, supporting himself with his hands on the ground.

"Come, mother, let me help you." Li Shen had a flattering smile on his face.

Concubine Wei glared at Li Shen, knowing that her son was up to no good again.

The shout he just made about Shi Tou had already attracted everyone's attention.

Who is he showing off to?

Concubine Wei was now beginning to have a headache again. She really wanted to get back into the carriage but refused to get off as so many people were watching. However, since His Majesty had already gotten off, she couldn't help but get off as well.

Finally, he had no choice but to look at Li Shen fiercely, then stepped on the back of the stone and let his son help him out of the car.

Li Shen also raised his eyebrows at Li Tai and Li Zhi.

Li Shimin was even more angry when he saw this.

"Aye, mother, you have been traveling a long way, please take a rest first. The ingredients are ready. I wonder if you should use the imperial chef or my people to cook them."

Here, Li Shen was the host, so of course he had to entertain everyone. Li Shimin would definitely bring the imperial chef with him whenever he went out.

He was just asking out of politeness.

"When it comes to you, of course your people will do it. It is said that you, Prince Ji, are as rich as a country and you know how to enjoy life the most.

I always bring a cook with me when I go out, so of course I want to give it a try and experience the happiness of your Highness Prince Ji."

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin asked Li Shen's chef to cook. Li Shen's mind raced.

He was wondering if there was any conspiracy here. If something went wrong,

No matter what, I can't escape blame. It's reasonable for him to ask me for money to settle the matter.

He had seen a lot of news like this in his previous life.

He even conspired to wonder if his father had deliberately taken the poison and then blackmailed him.

He is now thinking about whether he should go back and kill all those chefs, and then tell his father that this meal cannot be cooked.

Seeing his father's weird look just now, Li Shen guessed that the resentment was too deep.

"Well... Father, my people are not convenient, so let the imperial chef come." Li Shen immediately refused.

"What? Prince Ji, you still know how to avoid suspicion? Go and make the arrangements."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Shen and said with disdain.

Li Shen was helpless. Am I trying to avoid suspicion? You are not afraid that I will hurt you, but that you will hurt me, okay?

But when Li Shimin spoke, he had no choice but to nod:

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away. Aye, mother, you two can rest first."
