Ang Lee's plan to go to Summer Province for a month or two was finally approved by the Emperor. So far, all the key points had been cleared. The only thing left was to set off directly.
It had been planned that Ang Lee would not officially set off until the 15th day of the first lunar month. He would go to the area of Summer Province where the Horse Gang was rampant and see for himself what the Horse Gang there were capable of.
Since the Emperor had agreed, this matter was naturally settled. It was impossible to hide such a thing, and there was no need to hide it. Therefore, almost within a day, all the important people in the capital knew about it.
"I heard that Assistant Minister Li is going to Summer Province. The New Year has just passed. Why is he going to Summer Province?"
"The coal mined in Summer Province is poisonous. People who have used it have died inexplicably. Assistant Minister Li is going there to investigate. It is said that there is something else in the poisonous coal."
"There is sulfur in the coal! Many coals contain sulfur. This is nothing to be surprised about. Perhaps the coals in Summer State contain too much sulfur. That's why so many people died at once. "
"It's just a small coal mine. It's not a big deal! It doesn't need Assistant Minister Li to go there in person. "
"Summer Province is not peaceful. I heard that the Horse Gang there is quite fierce. Will it be dangerous?"
"It's just a few Horse Gang. It's okay to rob some merchants. If they really dare to be presumptuous, the army of the Tang dynasty will wipe them out in a day."
"That's right, that's right. The Horse Gang is nothing to worry about. It must be that some merchants who were robbed have resentment, so they deliberately exaggerated the Horse Gang."
"General Guo has 8,000 elites in Summer Province. More than half of them are cavalry. It's not difficult to deal with these Horse Gang. I believe it won't be long before they can suppress these Horse Gang."
"Hey, do you think Assistant Minister Li has an ulterior motive in going to Summer Province this time? Is it to wipe out the Horse Gang?"
"It can't be! There are only three hundred guards accompanying them. If they were going to exterminate the Horse Gang, they wouldn't have brought so few soldiers! "
"That's true. Summer Province has General Guo's 8,000 men and horses. It's enough to deter the Horse Gang. There's no need for the Imperial Court to send reinforcements. There's also no need for Assistant Minister Li to come out personally.
The group of officials had nothing to do, so they gathered together to chat.
However, there were also people who went to Ang Lee's workplace. They probably wanted to personally ask what Ang Lee was doing.
"Assistant Minister Li, Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is here with gifts."
A subordinate said.
Ang Lee stood up and said, "You may leave!"
"Assistant Minister Li is busy? This is a dessert made by Zhenzhu herself. Do you want to try it? "
Li Yu was very pleased with himself as he spoke.
Under Ang Lee's long-term influence, Li Yu was no longer averse to cooking. He even began to learn how to cook for fun. However, this was only occasionally. Moreover, it was the kind that would not be discovered by outsiders. He would not cook so openly like Ang Lee. In order to cater to his tastes, Shen Zhenzhu also learned how to cook. Although it was just some simple desserts, it was better than nothing. The purpose of Shen Zhenzhu learning how to make desserts was to make desserts for Li Yu to taste.
Perhaps the desserts were really good. After Li Yu tasted them, he felt that they tasted good. Therefore, he brought them to Ang Lee to taste so that Ang Lee could also praise his princess consort.
Ang Lee took the box of desserts and gently opened it. It was a box of shortbread. From the appearance, he could not tell what the filling was. However, it smelled good. The taste should not be too bad!
"Well, not bad! This is really made by the princess consort. She is talented! "
Li An tasted it lightly and felt that it was indeed very good. It was already very good.
"How can it be fake? I saw the princess consort make it with my own eyes."
Li Yu's expression became even more proud.
Ang Lee continued to taste a few more bites and said happily, "If it was really made by the princess consort, then it's really amazing. This taste, even a chef can't be better than this."
"It's good that it's delicious. Next time when there is delicious food, I will still think of you."
Li Yu said happily. After a pause, he asked, "I heard that Assistant Minister Li is going to Xia Zhou. Is a small coal mine really worth it for you to go there? If it doesn't work, you can just close the coal mine. "
"Didn't I tell you before? It's too boring in the capital. I really want to go out for a walk. There are Horse Gangs robbing in Xia Zhou. It's quite lively. I really want to go and have a look. By the way, I can beat up the Horse Gangs and exercise my muscles."
Ang Lee opened his mouth and said.
Li Yu said with a complicated expression, "So going out to play is the main purpose of Assistant Minister Li. He is really capricious. If he wants to go to Xia Zhou, he will go. I also want to go to Xia Zhou to exercise my muscles, but the underground parking lot is not ready yet. In addition, someone in the capital has proposed to build an underground road. This is also an opportunity …"
It could be seen that Li Yu wanted to go out to play, but he couldn't leave. Was he still thinking of making a contribution? Although going to the north to fight the Horse Gangs could also make a small contribution, the disaster of the Horse Gangs was at the border, which was too far away from the capital. The emperor and the ministers did not feel threatened at all. The Coking Coal Gang could not be regarded as a great contribution. Moreover, the military strength of the Tang dynasty was getting stronger and stronger. Any general could do it. There was no need to put the imperial grandson in danger. In addition, improving the traffic in the capital was an obvious contribution. What the officials in the capital cared more about was the situation in the capital. The roads were smooth and the prosperity of the city was what these officials wanted to see. Therefore, Li Yu had to stay here and perform well. He could not go to the north to play. In addition, this time, he came to ask Ang Lee's opinion on the underground road.
Since Ang Lee understood the purpose of Li Yu's visit, naturally, he would not let him come in vain. Since he had eaten the snacks made by the Princess herself, it was time to do something for Li Yu.
"The underground road proposal is very good. There is no problem at all in terms of technology. We only need to open up many underground parking lots, but the cost will be higher. As for how to build it, it needs to be carefully studied! However, there is no need to worry about this. I will be back in a month or two. After I come back, we can slowly discuss the underground road, okay? "
"Okay! Then it's settled. "
Li Yu said.
After chatting casually for a while, Li Yu went back. After that, a few people came, but they all left after asking about the situation.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the number of people watching the lanterns in the capital reached its peak. The streets and alleys were full of people watching the lanterns. Although the people had already seen the lanterns a few days ago, in addition to watching the lanterns, they could also buy a lot of goods that they couldn't usually buy on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Many goods would have a big discount on this day. In this way, they could use the least money to buy more and better goods. This was simply a great thing for ordinary people. Therefore, even if there were more people, the people would go to the Lantern Festival.
Ang Lee was naturally no exception. He also brought his family to watch the Lantern Festival. However, this time, Ang Lee didn't go to places with too many people. He only walked around in places with fewer people and bought some trinkets before returning. On the morning of the sixteenth, Ang Lee had to head north. He had to rest early at night.
After returning, Ang Lee suddenly realized that it was very difficult for him to rest early. This was because Ya 'er had secretly run to Ang Lee's bed in advance. This had been arranged previously, but Ang Lee had forgotten. Since his wife was lying on the bed, Ang Lee naturally couldn't chase her away. That would be too hurtful.
"Ya 'er, it's your turn today. I almost forgot about it."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Darling, are you tired? Why don't you rest early?"
Ya 'er said considerately.
Ang Lee hugged Ya 'er with both hands and gently kissed her earlobe. He whispered, "Since you're here, let me dote on you."
Although she was still beautiful, Ya 'er's body was a little plump. Ever since she gave birth to the baby, Ya' er had become much plumper than before. Be it her chest or butt, they had grown larger. This surprised Ang Lee.
However, being plump was also a good thing. If a person was too thin, it would be uncomfortable to hold them in his arms. Only a plump woman would be comfortable enough to hold in his arms. Everyone liked to hold a soft ball of meat. No one was willing to hold a hard bone.
"Ya 'er's body is becoming more and more plump. It's uncomfortable to touch."
Ang Lee moved his hands up and down as he bit Ya 'er's ear.
"Annoying. It's good that Darling likes it. If you like it, hug me a little longer!"
Ya 'er smiled as she snuggled into Ang Lee's embrace. Being caressed by Ang Lee was what she yearned for the most, especially when his large hands caressed the soft parts of her body. She felt her entire body convulse. The feeling made her intoxicated. She wished she could enjoy it for a while longer.
All these years, Ang Lee had formed a set of rules. Every time he doted on his wife, he had to maintain it for at least an hour. Most of the time, it had to be more than two hours. Only then could his wife experience a deeper level of pleasure.
Although this was very tiring, he had to satisfy his wives no matter how tiring he was. Furthermore, this was a sense of satisfaction for Ang Lee.
They had to set off for the Summer State early in the morning on the sixteenth. Therefore, Ang Lee had to work very hard tonight. It wasn't a big deal even if he didn't sleep for a night. At most, he could sleep in the carriage tomorrow.
More than two hours later, Ya 'er, who was drenched in sweat, snuggled into Ang Lee's arms. She said with tears in her eyes, "Darling, you're leaving tomorrow morning. How long will it take for you to return?"
Ang Lee gently wiped the tears from the corner of Ya 'er's eyes and said with a smile, "Little fool, you forgot so quickly. Didn't I say a few days ago that I would be back in a month or two?"
"That long!? Can't it be earlier? "
Ya 'er pursed her lips.
Ang Lee consoled her with a smile. "It's just a month or two. It will pass quickly. Why can't you bear to part with me?"
"Annoying. Needless to say."
Ya 'er smiled shyly.
That night, Ang Lee only slept for six hours. It was actually not bad. However, a normal person had to sleep for at least eight hours a day. Otherwise, it was very easy for them to fall sick. As for Ang Lee, he clearly hadn't slept for eight hours. If this continued for a long time, it would greatly affect his body. And if he slept during the day, it could greatly reduce the damage to his body.
"Ya 'er, it's almost dawn. Let go."
Ang Lee was just about to get up when he realized that Ya 'er was hugging him tightly. If he struggled free, he would hurt Ya' er. How could Ang Lee bear to do that?
"Boohoo, let me hug you for a while more!"
Ya 'er really couldn't bear to let go.
"Baby, be good. Let go!"
Ang Lee gently kissed Ya 'er's forehead and requested with a smile.
Ya 'er had no choice but to let go and get up. The other ladies naturally got up as well, including the male and female servants in the front and back yard. Everyone knew that Ang Lee was going to wake up early to leave the capital, so they instinctively got up to send him off. Only a few children who weren't even ten years old were still sleeping soundly.
Breakfast was personally made by Yan Ruyu. Man Man assisted by the side. It was just some simple food and Ang Lee's favorite sweet soy milk. To put it bluntly, it was boiled soy milk with an appropriate amount of white sugar added. It tasted really good and was even better than milk. However, if too much sugar was added, it wouldn't be good for the body. Adding an appropriate amount of white sugar was enough.
"Yes, not bad. Today's breakfast is very mellow. Ruyu made it herself, right?"
Ang Lee had eaten so much that he could almost tell who made every dish.
"It's good that Darling likes it. Eat more! Also, take these snacks with you and eat them on the way! "
Not only had Yan Ruyu prepared breakfast, but she had also prepared many snacks that could be eaten on the way. It could be said that she had made ample preparations. Every ingredient was filled with deep love.
From the number of ingredients, it was obvious that Yan Ruyu had definitely woken up early. She might have slept even shorter than Ang Lee.
"Madam, you've worked hard. Look, your eyes are red. If you have nothing to do in the morning, take a nap!"
Ang Lee said considerately.
"Got it. It's about time. It's time for Darling to set off. Sister Hanlu, you have to take good care of Darling along the way."
Yan Ruyu said gently.
Li Hanlu nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of Darling."
These words sounded a little awkward, as though she had to guard against Ang Lee. However, it didn't seem to be a big problem. Every time he went out, Ang Lee would always bring back beauties from time to time. How could she be at ease if she didn't watch?
"Haha! Then you have to take good care of him. "
Ang Lee looked at Li Hanlu with a smile.
"Alang, the carriage is ready. We can set off at any time."
A subordinate ran over to report.
Ang Lee nodded and said goodbye to his wives. Then, he set off with Li Hanlu to the Northern Railway Station of Chang 'an City. There was a special train that had been prepared for Ang Lee's trip. Unrelated people were not allowed to enter.
When they arrived at the station, Ang Lee found that many people had come to see him off. However, most of them were subordinates with lower official positions. There were no heavyweights. After all, Ang Lee had set off too early. Most people hadn't gotten up yet. Moreover, it was just a short trip. It didn't matter if they sent him off or not. Ang Lee wouldn't care about these things.
