Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 63

With Qin Tian's words, he had picked himself clean.

Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and others stood aside and couldn't help admiring them secretly.

They were noisy and rowdy just now, and they even made a move, but they couldn't solve the problem. It's good that this kid made those people speechless after he came here and said such a thing?
Well, if they knew this, they wouldn't have to bother so much, they just brought this kid here.

There was still some commotion in the court hall. Seeing this, Yuwen Shiji was also a little anxious, and quickly hinted to the speaker, who rolled his eyes angrily, but still stood up: "Your Majesty, even if you invent the soup dumpling There is nothing wrong with selling soup dumplings, but as an official of the Tang Dynasty, he can no longer eat this kind of cheap meat, and I ask the emperor to issue a decree to prohibit the consumption of soup dumplings."

When these words came out, the courtiers were itching their teeth with anger, why not let such a good thing be eaten?
Li Yuan was also angry, but the concept that pork is cheap meat has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For the sake of Datang's image, he couldn't eat it in a fair manner.

Li Yuan secretly complained, but just when he was about to agree, Qin Tian suddenly stood up.

"My lord, I want to justify the name of pork."

The officials looked at each other, and they all felt very strange, to justify the name of pork?
Li Yuan was also very curious, and asked, "What name do you name pork?"

Qin Tiandao: "My lord, but all the officials in the court think pork is cheap?"

Before Li Yuan opened his mouth, the famous speaker couldn't help but stand up. He was holding back his anger. Now that Qin Tian wanted to justify the name of pork, he wanted to see how Qin Tian justified the name of what everyone thought was cheap meat. .

"Yes, pork is cheap meat. As a court official, you must not eat it, because eating pork will lose the court's face."

The speaker raised his head as he spoke, he did not believe that Qin Tian could tell the truth about what everyone agreed with.

Qin Tian looked calm, even more calm than before, and said: "Then, do you know that many people in Tang Dynasty can only eat a meal during the New Year and festivals, which is considered cheap meat by everyone?"

The noisy hall suddenly fell silent, but Qin Tian continued: "Pork is cheap meat, but many people can't eat it. Doesn't that mean that the people in my Tang Dynasty are also untouchables, or even worse than untouchables?"

Everyone stared at Qin Tian, ​​as if shocked.

If Qin Tian just said what he said before, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong, and they thought he was just a little quick-witted, but when he said this now, they felt that Qin Tian was very extraordinary.

How could a small commoner say such a thing?
"What is the reason for the selection of officials by the imperial court, so that they can govern the country and let the people of this country live a prosperous and healthy life, but if we even call the pork that the people can only eat during the festivals cheap meat, Then we are afraid that we will also treat the people as pariahs, an official who treats the people as pariahs, what can we expect him to do for the people?"

Qin Tian's words were so eloquent that even Qin Shubao, who had been calm before, felt his heart warm at this moment, and couldn't help shouting: "Well said."

When Qin Shubao opened his mouth, many officials in the court immediately followed suit.

"That's right, that's right, how can pork be cheap meat?"

"That's right, pork is also meat, so just because some officials don't eat it, you can't treat it as cheap meat."

"That's right, we're going to clear the name for pork."

"........."

Whether they really agree with what Qin Tian said is unknown, but they all know that if they are really forbidden to eat pork, then it will be difficult for them to eat soup dumplings in the future.

Whoever stops them from eating soup dumpling is their enemy.

Most of the officials in the DPRK had eaten steamed buns, and now they wanted to stand up and support Qin Tian for their own appetites.

Here, Li Yuan naturally supported Qin Tian, ​​who made him like to eat soup dumplings.

Most of the ministers in the DPRK and China supported the rectification of the name of pork. Seeing this situation, Li Jiancheng naturally couldn't say anything more. Seeing this, Li Yuan said: "Okay, there is no distinction between people, and there should be no meat. From today on, I, Datang, can't help pork."

After saying this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this kid Qin Tian is really capable, of course, he just thinks that Qin Tian is capable, and he didn't say how powerful Qin Tian is.

As for what Qin Tian said, he would not take it seriously. Is being an official for the prosperity of the people?

This is just an excuse, even the emperor sometimes said this is an excuse, they just want to maintain their rule.

This is their real purpose, and serving the people is just a means.

But no one can say anything about such high-sounding words.

After Li Yuan made his decision, he announced his withdrawal from the court.

The sun was so hot that Qin Tian was already drenched when he left the hall. Even though he was chatting in the hall just now, he was actually more nervous than anyone else.

But justifying the name of pork is what he has to do.

First of all, there are many delicacies that can be made from pork. He doesn't want to be sneaky about eating pork if he gets rich in the future.

Furthermore, so many officials in the DPRK like to eat his soup dumplings, and what I said allows them to satisfy their appetite without any scruples, so it can also win some goodwill from them, right?

Although these favors seem a bit illusory, they might be useful at any time.

And when he was thinking about this, he suddenly realized another problem. There were many people speaking for him in the court today, but there was no King Qin Li Shimin alone.

Li Shimin is not in the morning court.

This made Qin Tian feel a little regretful, after all, he really wanted to see what this famous generation of hero in Chinese history looked like.

Of course, Li Shimin's absence from the early court also made him faintly aware that the war might be getting closer.

Li Shimin has always been the commander in chief of the Tang Dynasty's Southern and Northern Wars. If there is a real war this time, I'm afraid he will be indispensable. Only when the war is near and he needs to prepare a lot will he have no time to come to court.

While thinking this way, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind. The slap was so hard that he almost fell apart.

"Good boy, Uncle Cheng, I didn't love you in vain. I gave your adoptive father and us a face today."

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly. Although Qin Shubao was also very excited, in order to maintain the majesty of a adoptive father, he just nodded, and then lightly patted Qin Tian on the shoulder: "Not bad, not bad!"

After taking two shots like this, Qin Shubao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he let it go again.

"Let's go, it's so hot, my adoptive father bought a jar of fine grape wine from a merchant in the Western Regions for [-] yuan, let's drink something to relieve the heat."
