I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The war in Persia is over.

Elder Kupso and Yisiai III also accompanied him to Datang. During this war, they witnessed the power of Datang with their own eyes.

To be honest, he never thought that war would be like this.

Smoke, fire, sound.

Then... Byzantium and the people on the peninsula were defeated. What is the extended front, what is the battle, what is the vertical...

They didn't see it once.

There are only one battle report after another from the front line, how many enemy troops were annihilated this time, and another city was taken that time.

The excitement at the beginning gradually became numb later.

It's not that the news is bad.

But... people's excitement always has a threshold within a certain period of time. If they play too smoothly, it is difficult to make any twists and turns in their hearts.

After all, they are two countries and nations capable of conquering and fighting well.

They also had a glorious tradition.

I also thought about... whether to seize Datang's firearms, but this idea is very good, but it becomes a kind of torture to have no idea.Xue Rengui brought out all elites.

What is elite?In the eyes of Datang people, elites only need to do the four words "Orders and prohibitions".

The gun is always in hand.

In case of battle damage, the man and the gun must be carried away together.

If you can't take the gun, you have to destroy it on the spot. Byzantium is often fooled by this. Many times, they think they can seize a gun, but when they go up, it is a booby trap.

Or else it's a bullet.

It took the lives of hundreds of people to snatch the gun back—it turned out to be a fire stick wrapped with some wood.

What is the use?

It didn't help at all.

In the same, even more glorious history, there is a much stronger and crushing gap in strength, which makes this war without any suspense.

It's just that the territory is vast; it's just that the supply is a little slower.

That's why they lasted until now.

If they won, they would naturally want to return home. Xue Rengui did not stay on the land of Persia, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not have nostalgia for this land.

only…

As the king, Yi Si'ai III clamored to come to Datang, and even almost sneaked onto the warship going to Datang—really almost. To check again, Persia didn't even know that his king was lost.

In the end, Persia did not endure the entreaties of Yiziai III.

Several ministers and advisors were arguing, arguing, and arguing, and in the end Elder Kupso won the opportunity to come to Datang.

The war is about to end, and it is a critical moment to resume many domestic affairs.

Yisiai III made this decision at this time, which made him only a nominal king in his life, with no sense of responsibility and no responsibility as a king.

Can…

The ministers who accompanied the Tang Dynasty were different.

The king is useless, and naturally the ministers have to take on the responsibility of the king, which includes power, and power is also divided into big and small, and in this, how to distribute the greatest power?

Naturally, whoever has the closest relationship with Datang will have the greatest power.

The qualification to go to Datang with Yisiai III this time is a decision, even if they take advantage of this time to divide up the power between Yisiai III and Elder Kupso, who knows if they will turn around and tell Datang, How about asking Datang to send troops?

The odds are slim, but not impossible.

And...they wouldn't do such a thing. Anyway, there is a big Tang father on their heads, and the power in Persia is not that important.

The arrival of these two Persians finally brought some different changes to Datang.

In front of outsiders, some unclean things should not be done. Tang people pay attention to face, especially not to lose face.

Li Shimin received Yisiai III as a foreign minister, and Yisiai III was still very excited. He did not find these particularities of the Tang Dynasty.

Elder Kupso found out.

But he was tired, weary, lying flat.

If you don't find out, then you don't find out, and the courtiers are courtiers, it has nothing to do with me, and the one who regrets in the end is the grown-up Yisiai III, or his children.

Those who are tired and tired are not only Elder Kupso, but also Xue Rengui.

After fighting outside for so long, he has long missed the freshly baked buns in the morning at Tongfu Restaurant, the sizzling fruits fried in the oil pan, and the delicious pasta that fills his stomach with just one sip.

I miss that bite of ribs and that bite of soup.

And, he still has a lot of inspiration, accumulated on the Persian battlefield, and he is eager to toss these things in the Phoenix Nest to see if they can come true.

only…

Li Shimin kept saying that he didn't have time, and he had already found out the reasons. He had to receive two guests from Persia during this time, and there was really no way.

Resignation is not a matter of a day or two. Anyway, I have been a general for so long, and it is not too short of a day or two. You should go to the Ministry of War and sit for a while. After I finish my work here, I will deal with your affairs.

Li Shimin's little calculation in his heart was crackling.

Just one word "drag".

If you get used to Xue Rengui in the Ministry of War, and if you don't have the strength to resign, then you will become your own minister in a legitimate way.

face?
What is a face?
Li Shimin never cared about face. A good courtier, especially such a young good courtier, is really very precious.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yin Xuan decided the foundation and decoration of the Datang building, and Xue Rengui decided how tall the Datang building could be.

It sounds like Xue Rengui's status is even higher.

Actually not.

Strictly speaking, it should be the combination of Xue Rengui and the generals of Datang that can decide how tall the building of Datang is - it doesn't matter how high it is, he believes that Yin Xuan can decorate it the same as the first floor.

Li Shimin was happy.

Xue Rengui was a little puzzled. He was bored in the Ministry of War all day and got off work at the end of the day, giving full play to non-violent non-cooperation.

Yuchi Jingde was also helpless.

As a minister of the Ministry of War, he lived like a servant, running around Xue Rengui, hoping to win Xue Rengui's heart with the busy official duties of the Ministry of War.

Xue Rengui felt that there was something wrong with his appointment.

The trick of dragging words is not clever, but it is easy to use.

In the past few days, Xue Rengui's face became more and more gloomy, and he drank more and more alcohol in the Tongfu restaurant.

this evening.

He couldn't hold back, and complained to his own Dalang.

Two little old men, Li Yuan and Wei Zheng, squatted beside Xue Rengui. They didn't come to comfort Xue Rengui, but came to watch the excitement.

He also encouraged Xue Rengui to follow Li Shimin.

Anyway, he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it wasn't a bad thing to follow him.

Yin Xuan stuffed their mouths with a handful of roasted skewers with little oil, salt, and pepper.
