Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 287 Sleepy Comes with a Pillow

In November, Li Erye is in a good mood. It is not easy for him to be an emperor. The October solar eclipse in the ninth year of Wude, the March solar eclipse in the first year of Zhenguan, the March solar eclipse in the second year of Zhenguan, the eighth month of the third year of Zhenguan There was a lunar eclipse and there was a strong wind and drought and locust plagues. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, there was a solar eclipse and the palace was on fire.He was in power for five and a half years, and there was a solar eclipse every year.

People can't explain the natural phenomenon of solar eclipse, but everything cannot grow without the sun, so the sun has a very high status in people's hearts.The emperor is called the son of heaven, claiming to be sent by heaven to manage the people, and that day is the existence of the emperor's godfather and grandfather.Some people think that the sun is the steward sent by God, watching the emperor every day, as long as the emperor does not do well, God will warn the emperor through a solar eclipse, expressly expressing that he has done something wrong, and he must pay attention to it in the future; Appearance represents the need to change the dynasty, and there are often people who can't help jumping out to rebel.

Second Master Li sometimes thinks to himself that even though his father was in power in [-], although there were constant wars, at least there was no solar eclipse.Looking at myself in the past few years, the solar eclipse every year, the emperor is trembling and unable to sleep.Every time a solar eclipse occurs, I have to review what I did wrong, and I have to self-reflection. I have to accept the criticisms of the ministers with an open mind and do my best. I feel aggrieved!It was better this year, the weather was good, but Jian'er almost died of illness, thanks to Jin Guitang who cured her.If there is another solar eclipse this year, Li Erye knows that he can't bear it anymore, and he will definitely find his teammates to share the blame. Now the world is basically peaceful, and no one can do anything to him. Who clicked back.In the past few years, fortunately, there was a Guanyin servant girl who comforted him with kind words, which made people feel warm, otherwise he really didn't know how to get over it.

Thinking of the Avalokitesvara maidservant, Li Erye's heart warmed up, and he decided to be lazy for a while, instead of approving the memorial, he went to see his daughter-in-law to play with his daughter, and have dinner or something by the way.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Empress Changsun was practicing walking with her daughter with her back to her. She clapped her hands to signal her daughter, who was three steps away, to run into her arms.Cheng Yang might be tired from walking, he stood still and refused to move, his little nose was wrinkled and he was about to cry.This baby has sharp eyes, and when she saw her father, she stood there and acted cute, opened her arms, and said in a childish voice: "Dada, Baobao, Dada, Baobao."

"Haha, come and give me a hug." Second Master Li was delighted. Although his daughter had learned the tongue early, she still couldn't speak clearly, but her cleverness was no worse than that of Chang Le back then.

"The concubine pays homage to His Majesty, Chengyang is getting heavier and heavier, let the concubine report it." After presenting the ceremony to Li Erye, Empress Changsun tried to hug Chengyang back.

"How many times have I really said that Guanyin's maidservant will not call me your majesty in the future, have you forgotten how to call me before?" Xiao Chengyang was spitting bubbles at his father, and his saliva flowed down to his chin. Seeing his mother If he wanted to repay himself, he quickly hugged his father and rubbed his saliva on Second Master Li's face. He was so happy that Second Master Li laughed: "Look, how close my daughter is to me."

"She's not kissing you. She's being lazy. Let her practice walking after having her concubine. The girl is very ghostly." After finishing talking to Li Erye, Empress Changsun continued to coax Chengyang, and promised not to let her go today. After she walked, Cheng Yang opened his arms and signaled for his mother to hug her.

"Hey, you ghost girl, you won't be kissing your father after you're done with it, right?" Second Master Li jokingly pinched Cheng Yang's tender cheeks after handing the child over to Empress Changsun.

"Dada, cool." The child said directly, turning his head away from Second Master Li to touch him, lying in the arms of the eldest grandson empress, and continued to mutter: "Warm, warm."

Xiao Chengyang's eccentric performance made Erye Li and his wife laugh out loud. With such a little baby in the family, there is no need to worry about life being too boring.

"Has Erlang eaten yet?" Empress Changsun patted Cheng Yang on the back to let the squirming Cheng Yang be honest for a while, and asked Li Erye, and the address was changed to the previous one.

"No, isn't I just thinking about coming here to have a meal with you two?" Second Master Li is very confident when he is eating, which is true. There are many women in the harem, but it is not easy for Second Master Li to go for a meal. A lot, this man usually eats by himself, and continues to criticize memorials after eating.

"Then Your Majesty is blessed. The young slave is clamoring for some coupler and eggplant box to eat this afternoon. The concubine can't stand the young slave's begging, so let the back kitchen prepare it, and it will be on the table after a while." The eldest grandson empress Wen Said tactfully, Xiao Chengyang joined in the fun in the eldest grandson's arms and yelled "eat, eat"

"Where's the childish slave?" Second Master Li scanned the surroundings, but couldn't find the youngest son.

"It's guarding at the door of the back kitchen. If it's ready, come and report it." As soon as Empress Changsun finished speaking, she heard the childish slave outside shouting, "Mother, mother."

"Mother, mother, give it to my younger sister!" The childish slave was holding an eggplant box flat with both hands, staring at the eggplant box, afraid of falling on the ground, and plunged into the room without noticing the existence of his own father.Cheng Yang heard his brother yelling that he wasn't tired anymore, so he asked Empress Changsun to put herself down.

Seeing the friendly appearance of the two brothers and sisters, Second Master Li automatically ignored the childish slave's disregard of etiquette. What does a four-year-old child know?What's more, the corners of the childish slave's mouth were not oily, and he didn't feel like he was drooling. It seemed that he brought it to his sister as soon as he was the first one out of the pot. With this kind of heart, he was much better than a hypocrite. Second Master Li expressed his satisfaction.

When he saw Second Master Li, the young slave hesitated for a moment, and still handed the eggplant box to his sister, then pointed in the direction of the back kitchen, saluted his father and said, "Daddy, there is one more, the young slave will get it for you." Go out I didn't forget to tell my sister before: "Sister, eat slowly, it's hot."

Since his son is so sensible, Second Master Li waved his hand to tell the young slave to run again.Seeing Cheng Yang eating with gusto, Second Master Li asked Empress Changsun, "Didn't the young slaves do this when they were young? Who did they learn from? Could it be that I have raised two foodies?"

"Erlang will know after a taste." Chengyang is still too young. Although she has six teeth, it is still very difficult for her to eat eggplant boxes alone, so the eldest grandson helps Chengyang make the fried batter Separated from the minced meat, let her only eat the soft eggplant.The ones that were allocated were naturally handed over to Li Erye.

Second Master Li tasted it, and it tasted really good, with a faint taste of Kunlun melon. He asked suspiciously: "Is this Kunlun purple melon?" The name of Kunlun purple melon was given by Yang Ying's father. He likes to eat, so he gave it a tall name. It is similar to Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the name is still used, but it will gradually become easier to call "Eggplant".

"Yes. Do you know why the child likes to eat so much?" Empress Changsun asked with a smile in her eyes seeing that Second Master Li was still interested.

"Well, the taste is good." Second Master Li nodded in satisfaction, "I remember that Wentangjian didn't grow Kunlun purple melons, right?"

Li Erye's so-called Wentangjian is the Huaqing Pool of later generations. It is a pure natural hot spring. The royal family occasionally goes to take a bath. After autumn, the heat of the hot spring is used to cultivate various vegetables for the royal family to enjoy.The amount of water produced by the hot spring is limited, and the vegetables that can be cultivated are limited. Since the eggplants that were planted a little while ago have almost failed to bear fruit, the Wentang Supervisor no longer lists eggplants as a winter cultivation dish, so Li Erye has this ask.

"Who said it was sent by Wen Tangjian?" Empress Changsun smiled and explained to Li Erye: "This is sent by Li Zhi to honor my concubines."

"Beauty? Where did she get it? Could it be that it was created by Gui Tang again?" After a little thought, Second Master Li identified the suspect.

"It was planted by Guitang. But there are not many produced now. His wife gave it to Lizhi to try it out. I heard that it will take a few days to pick and sell it." Empress Changsun wiped Xincheng's mouth with a bib. Yu’s family is full of love. Not to mention the down jackets, gloves, scarves and so on made for several children, the bibs in Xiaoxincheng are all given by others. They are soft in texture and good in water absorption, and they are really convenient to use.

"This prodigal son is capable! Still selling? Does he have a better place than my Wentang Supervisor?" Li Erye didn't believe what Empress Changsun said.

"I'm not lying. According to Lizhi, a few months before Jin returned to Tang Dynasty, he bought a large piece of grassland in Baicaotan, all of which were green vegetables. The Qin family and the Cheng family also followed suit, and it should be soon. Picking." Empress Changsun wanted to wash her hands, but the childish slave quickly led the maid to bring up the vegetables, saving trouble, and then feed Xincheng.

"Strange, how did this kid do it?" Li Erye was very puzzled, but his attention was quickly attracted by the two pots of fried lotus root and eggplant box in front of him, and he focused on filling his stomach first.If Jinyu was here, he might have told him directly: Eggplants need artificial pollination, and there is no bee to help them in winter, so it’s no wonder that the fruit falls!
Since being cleaned up by Lanling and Gao Yang's partnership, the young slave has eaten a lot more honestly, sat in a correct posture, and cleaned up his share of food without wasting a single bit.Li Erye saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

The little guy didn't eat much, and after eating, he was taken by the maid to wash his hands and play.Li Erye and his wife continued to talk about Jin Yu.

"This kid really surprises people a lot." Second Master Li crunched and chewed the coupling, and told Empress Changsun about Jinyu pitting Goryeo sticks: "A while ago, the Goguryeo mission came to ask me for some jade potato seeds. , I didn’t agree, and they went to find Jin Guitang.”

"Guitang didn't agree, did he?" Empress Changsun said flatteringly.

"No, but this kid gave the embassy an idea, saying that he would like to do a business with Goguryeo. He exchanged three catties of grain for one catty of soybeans for Goguryeo. On the surface, Goguryeo made a lot of money, but it is not a stumbling block for Goguryeo secretly. It will be less. This kid handed the handle of the knife into my hands. If it goes well, even if I don’t send troops to the Tang Dynasty in three to five years, there will be chaos in Goguryeo!" Thinking of Jin Yu’s ghostly idea, Li Er The Lord is full of praise, although there are some areas where Jin Yu clearly pointed out that he needs to cooperate, as long as he can take down Goguryeo at a small price, he doesn't care whether he is helping Jin Yu or not!

"The concubine congratulates Erlang first."

"Haha, it's time to congratulate. I wish that time would pass faster and include Goguryeo in my territory of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible!" Second Master Li thought vigorously, holding up his chopsticks. "By the way, I heard that Jin Guitang plans to sell jade and potatoes for a while. I plan to reward the prodigal son with some more land to support him. It's a pity that this kid doesn't do business, but it's even more pity to do business. From now on, this green vegetable will be worth more. Let him be more diligent."

"..." Empress Changsun was speechless, it seems that the root of the child's love for food has been found...
