Just like that, Tang Tian, the nine-year-old Duke who had just appeared, was directly conferred the title of Shangshu Ling during his first court session.
As for the matter in the court today, Li Shiming had ordered it to be concealed. As for the reason, perhaps he hoped that Tang Tian would not attract too much attention.
Of course, everything was for Tang Tian's own good.
In the morning court session, Tang Tian also officially took on the role of the imperial edict.
The first thing to be solved was the food and clothing of the 500,000 refugees. Just as Tang Tian said before, food was the most important.
Tang Tian first needed to gather a batch of food that was enough to feed these refugees for three months. After that, he needed to gather a batch of seeds. After these seeds evolved, they would probably bring him a surprise.
In that case, there would be no shortage of food. After having food, it was equivalent to having everything.
After the court session ended, Tang Tian had promised to visit the Zhangsun family. However, because Li Shi Min had publicly invited Tang Tian to the Imperial Court, he could only go to the Imperial Palace. Zhangsun Wuji did not mind. He knew that someone who was more anxious than him was in the palace.
Under the guidance of a palace maid, Tang Tian went to the rear palace.
Looking at the magnificent palace, Tang Tian could not help but sigh. This was Dynasty! The history of China was very bright. These prosperous and solemn buildings would still be a miracle in the world even after a thousand years.
"This is the place, Duke of Tang.”
the palace maid said.
Tang Tian nodded and looked at the plaque. Tang Tian recognized it immediately.
"Han Feng Palace? This is the Empress 'palace, right?"
When he thought of the gentle woman he saw outside the north gate, Tang Tian felt a little inexplicable. Especially when the Empress looked at him differently.
However, at this moment, Tang Tian did not think too much about it. Instead, he followed behind the servant girl and entered Han Feng Palace Hall.
At this moment, in a palace.
"Your Majesty, why isn't he here yet?"
Empress Zhangsun paced back and forth, her eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.
Li Shi Min smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, the palace maids have already gone to receive them. Sooner or later, you will be able to see them.”
Unexpectedly, Empress Zhangsun said in a low voice.
"That's because Your Majesty saw that child in court today, but ChenQie hasn't seen him for many days.”
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Empress Zhangsun's complaints. Speaking of which, Empress Zhangsun had never complained all these years, but today, she actually complained about him because of Tang Tian. It was enough to show how important Tang Tian was to her in her heart.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Tang has been brought to wait outside the palace.”
Li Shimin heard the palace maid's words and before he could say anything, Empress Zhangsun said excitedly.
"Quick, invite the Duke of Tang in.”
Looking at the excited Empress Zhangsun, Li Shimin felt helpless. However, he did not say anything. Instead, he smiled. As the person who slept beside him, he clearly knew how much Empress Zhangsun missed his son.
Even when she knew that Tang Tian was still alive, Empress Zhangsun's condition improved a lot.
Not long after, Tang Tian entered the palace under the guidance of the palace maid. He met Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun again.
"Tang Tian greets Your Majesty and the Empress.”
Tang Tian cupped his hands and said. For some reason, every time he saw the two of them standing together, that inexplicable feeling became more and more obvious.
"Alright, alright. Little Tian must be tired from attending court, right? Sit down and have a cup of tea."
Empress Zhangsun said with a smile. She raised her hands helplessly as if she wanted to pull Tang Tian up, but she felt that it was inappropriate.
Tang Tian was stunned. Empress Zhangsun's attitude was too good.
Li Shiming smiled bitterly. They had agreed to hide it for the time being. If Empress Zhangsun continued like this, she might be exposed at any time.
"Many thanks, Empress."
Tang Tian did not dislike Empress Zhangsun calling him Little Tian. It was as if it was natural.
Under Empress Zhangsun's greeting, Tang Tian took his seat. Then, the palace maid served tea. This was boiled tea. Tang Tian took a sip and frowned slightly. He was instantly uninterested.
Empress Zhangsun had always been paying attention to Tang Tian, so she asked anxiously when she saw Tang Tian's expression.
"How is it? Was the tea not good? Bengong will bring the eunuch who brewed the tea to question him.”
Empress Zhangsun said with concern, her words full of care.
"No, it's just that I grew up in the forest and have never drunk tea before, so I'm not used to it.”
Tang Tian did not lie. In the mountains, all he did was study and practice martial arts. He did not have time to drink tea.
Who knew that Tang Tian's words would make Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin's expressions change. They seemed to see Tang Tian, a baby, struggling to survive in the mountains.
"Child, it must have been hard on you. Did you often not have enough to eat or sleep well in the deep mountains and forests?”
Empress Zhangsun asked with concern. She even held Tang Tian's hand. Her eyes were red and she was about to cry.
Tang Tian was stunned. Was there such a big emotional fluctuation? Indeed, the historical records of Empress Zhangsun being gentle, virtuous, and kind were true. He actually felt this way just because he heard some of his tragic past.
