I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Daxing Palace was the place where the Sui Dynasty Imperial Palace was located when the capital was never moved to Luoyang in the Sui Dynasty. It was also the place where the emperor listened to and handled government affairs. The capital of Great Tang was Cháng’ān. In the early years of Great Tang, the political center was always in Daxing Palace.

After Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, the emperor moved to the Great Ming Palace and Palace of Flourishing Revelry, and Daxing Palace lost its former importance. After Tang Ruizong, Daxing Palace was renamed Taiji Palace.

Today, it is still Daxing Palace.

Sweet Dew Palace Hall in the Daxing Palace is where Li Yuan sits and rests.

Now the night is not too deep. Although Li Yuan is old, Essence, Qi, and Spirit are good. He is still reviewing the memorials submitted. After all, Great Tang had a lot of government affairs shortly after the founding of the country, and Li Yuan was also extremely busy.

“Step on! Step on!”

The sound of footsteps comes from outside the great hall.

It was the servant who entered, stood beside Li Yuan, bowed and said: “His Majesty, Prince of Qin, please see me.”

Li Yuan lifts the head, brows raised, Exposed unexpected expression. In most cases, Li Shimin will not enter the palace at night, and it is extremely rare to rush into the palace to see him at night like this.

Li Yuan instructed: “Xuan!”

The waiter immediately ordered to go down. After a while, Li Shimin strode in. After he stood still, he lifted his robe, and said: “My son pay respects to Father Emperor.”

“Sit!”

Li Yuan waved his hand and ordered.

Immediately, Li Yuan asked: “If it is too late today and the palace gate has been closed, why did you come into the palace?”

Li Shimin replied: “Reporting Back to Father Emperor, today, the son will get twelve dishes. Each dish is called a unique treasure, rare in the world. Therefore, the son entered the palace and dedicated it to the Father Emperor. Please Father Emperor to taste it.”

“Come in!”

Li Shimin gave an order.

The entourage outside Sweet Dew Palace Hall entered with food boxes one by one, took out all the dishes, and placed them one after another on the desk in front of Li Yuan. At this time, all the dishes have not been cold yet, they are still warm, and exude a strong fragrance.

When Li Yuan saw it, he smelled the odor and moved his tongue, and his appetite suddenly appeared. A smile appeared on his face and said, “Erlang, you are interested. Yes, these are all good!”

“Bring the bowls and chopsticks!”

When Li Yuan ordered, the waiter brought the bowls and chopsticks. However, according to the rules, the waiter was prepared to taste it first to ensure that the food offered was non-toxic.

Li Yuan took the chopsticks and waved his hand to let the servant retreat.

He doesn’t believe Li Shimin is going to poison him.

even more how, now Crown Prince is Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin poisoned him, but there is no benefit.

Li Yuan took the lead in eating pork knuckle, although it is not complete, it is only a small portion. But for seniors like Li Yuan, this small piece of fleshy skin is soft and fragrant, smooth and soft, but it is enough.

After Li Yuan took a bite, his eyes were bright and he said three “good” words in succession. After eating the pork knuckle in twos or twos, he started to go to the rest of the dishes.

But Li Yuan frowned when he ate the beef.

Li Shimin is familiar with Li Yuan’s dispositions, and quickly explained: “Father Emperor, this beef is the beef after the death of illness. The son of the son knows the importance of farming cattle, which is the foundation of the country, so I dare not go crazy. “

Li Yuan is in a good mood. Hearing Li Shimin’s explanation, he immediately laughed and said, “It’s good if you understand.”

He is eating well now.

I am very happy inside.

Especially pork knuckle, Red Braised Pork and other soft and fatty dishes, Li Yuan loves it. Although there are twelve dishes, in fact, the amount of each dish is not much, but Li Yuan, after all, is too old to eat so much. After tasting some dishes, he will not eat more, after all, he cannot digest it.

After Li Yuan finished eating, he took a sip of chicken soup and said with emotion: “These twelve dishes are indeed unique treasures, and they are delicious. I have never eaten such dishes. Erlang, where did you get the twelve dishes.”

Li Shimin bowed and said: “Father Emperor, in fact, these twelve dishes were made by Du Qi. Originally tonight Erlang hosted the banquet, Du Erlang offered himself, saying that he was going to be in charge of the banquet dishes.”

“The child minister pondered, although Du Erlang is young, he can also distinguish the importance. He dare to say so. , Let him arrange it. At that time, in the heart of the children, I didn’t actually take seriously.”

“You can’t expect, dinner at first in the evening, and Du Erlang’s dishes will shine.”

“It’s amazing.”

Li Shimin said: “It’s the first time that Erchen has eaten it, so he immediately told Du Erlang to prepare a separate portion. , Packed in food boxes, specially brought to Father Emperor.”

Now Li Shimin has changed his style.

It was not what Du Qi proposed, but Li Shimin took the initiative to think of it. Only in this way can Li Shimin please Li Yuan. This is why Du Qi let Li Shimin enter the palace overnight.

Li Yuan nodded and praised after hearing it, saying: “Erlang, you have a heart.”

Li Shimin said: “Father Emperor overpraised.”

Li Yuan said: “Now that I have eaten Du Erlang’s dishes and eat other dishes, I am afraid it will taste like chewing wax. It is a pity that Du Erlang is young, especially he is not a chef. It is not appropriate to let him enter the imperial dining room.”

Li Shimin slightly smiled, replied: “Father Emperor, this is actually simple. After the son returned, he summoned Du Erlang and asked him to hand in the recipe and method of the manufacturing dishes. In this way, Father The Emperor’s chef naturally understood the manufacturing method. The Father Emperor wanted to eat delicious dishes with no difficulty.”

“Yes, not bad!”

Li Yuan face There was a bright smile on the face, and the traces of folds were all unfolded, and said: “Your method is very good, this matter is left to you. Erlang, you are doing errands now, very good. At my birthday, You gave medicine pill and “New Five Animals” are also very good. These days, you are paying attention.”

Li Shimin said: “This is the duty of the son.”

p>

In his heart, he was emotional.

Like Li Yuan, he praised him for his dedication in a few words. This is something that has not happened in a long time. Now through twelve dishes, it is done with no difficulty.

Du Qi, the youngster, has ghosts.

Li Yuan changed the conversation and continued: “I heard that the Prince of Qin Mansion was built before and it was to compete with your Prince of Qin Mansion for farming. Today’s Eastern Palace, capable people and strangers are thinking about ways to improve farming, and During this period of time, you have been visiting places every day to learn about the people’s farming issues. Can you have this?”

Li Shimin nodded and said, “There is indeed such a thing. The main thing is to lead soldiers to fight. If you talk about the wisdom and strategy of using soldiers, the ministers are confident. But the ministers don’t know much about farming, so they can only visit the place to understand the people’s farming. Now, it is not yet to bet. At the last time of the contest, the children are still visiting the place.”

Li Yuan comforted: “No problem, victory or defeat is commonplace in the Military School of Thought, after all, Eastern Palace Crown Prince has many advisers.”

paused, Li Yuan said again: “But you don’t have to care, it’s just a trivial matter. Even if you lose, if there is a Father Emperor, you won’t have and so on.”

“Thanks Father Emperor!”

Li Shimin answered respectfully.

He sneered in his heart.

He wants to win this bet, but Li Yuan thinks he will lose, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Li Yuan talked to Li Shimin for a while, and Li Shimin took the initiative to leave. After Li Shimin exited the Sweet Dew Palace Hall, he turned his head and looked at the Sweet Dew Palace Hall, which was shrouded in a dim light. A light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he turned his head and strode away.

At this moment, Li Shimin is leaving, his back is tall and straight, but his face shows a tenacious expression.
