Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

After the heavy rain, the fog was very thick the next day, and the sun was not seen until noon.

Li Shimin came out of the palace, looked up at the not-so-bright sun, and sighed: "As the saying goes, Wu Niu pans at the moon, Shu dog barks at the sun, and it is true."

Li Shimin returned to Yizhou for the first time, and the climate in Bashu was completely different from Chang'an City.

The climate in Chang'an City is dry. At this time, the soil erosion on the Loess Plateau is not so serious, and sandstorms are rare.

So you can see the blue sky and the sun.

Yizhou is different, with heavy fog and many rainy days.

Today is the second day in Yizhou City. The three Li Chengqian brothers are standing in front, and Du Xingmin and Li Jing are waiting at the door.

Seeing Li Shimin coming out, all the ministers bowed, "My minister pays homage to the emperor."

Behind the minister are officials from Yizhou.

When the emperor came, they would naturally come to pay their respects.

Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "It's not easy for all my lovers to live in Yizhou. The climate here is very different from that in the Central Plains."

"The people in the land of Bashu are okay, but if you come from it, you will be very uncomfortable."

Small officials can be selected locally, while larger officials are selected by the imperial court.

Since the implementation of the imperial examination, all those above the county magistrate have passed the examination.

Many officials from the Shu region came from the Central Plains and even from the south of the Yangtze River.

"The ministers are serving the country, how dare they say it's hard."

All the ministers bowed.

Li Shimin was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "You go to the main hall and wait, I will have breakfast first."

The ministers thought that Li Shimin had eaten.

Didn't expect Li Shimin to wake up at noon?
In the past, I only heard that Su Yu was a salted fish, and he slept until noon every day before getting up.

Only now do I know that Li Shimin is also like this.

Sure enough, if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black.

If you stay with salted fish for a long time, you will slowly turn into dried fish.

The emperor ordered, who dare not listen to them.

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Chengqian took the lead, and all the ministers entered the main hall and waited.

Du Xingmin stayed alone and accompanied Li Shimin into the kitchen.

The cook brought Li Shimin breakfast.

Of course Du Xingmin ate it himself, he was just accompanying him.

A bowl of beef noodles came, and Li Shimin took a sip.

"Well, not bad, the taste is similar to that of Sujiazhuang."

Li Shimin said.

Du Xingmin replied: "The minister specially asked the cook to study with the young master for a month."

Du Xingmin arranged very thoughtfully.

Knowing that Li Shimin would come, he sent someone to Sujiazhuang early to learn cooking skills.

The technique of this beef noodle was taught by Chef Zhang.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You put your heart into it."

After breakfast, Li Shimin entered the main hall of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

More than 100 officials are waiting.

Li Shimin sat down, and Li Chengqian led the civil and military loyal officials to pay homage.

"I will pay my respects to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

All the ministers bowed down together.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Be flat."

All the ministers stood up and bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin looked at the ministers in the hall, and said: "Yizhou borders the land of the Six Imperial Orders, although their soldiers and horses are not as many as the Turks, but the Gu religion is vicious, and everyone has worked hard, I will always remember it in my heart."

"This time, Zhen Yujia's personal conquest is to wipe out the remnants of the Six Edicts."

"Qing has been in Yizhou for a long time, what's your plan?"

The so-called go to the mountains to ask woodcutters, and go to the water to ask fishers. When we arrive in Yizhou City, we naturally have to ask these ministers what to do.

When Li Shimin spoke, the officials below looked at each other, but none of them came out to answer.

Although it was within Li Shimin's expectation, he was still a little upset.

Sure enough, these people are idlers, and they have to rely on Su Yu to get the job done at critical moments.

Looking down, he didn't see Lao Chen and Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan doesn't have an official position, so he doesn't have to come, but Lao Chen should come.

"Where's Old Chen?"

Li Shimin asked.

Only then did Li Jing realize that Lao Chen was not there.

"Maybe at the son-in-law's place."

Li Jing replied.

"Go and call him over."

Li Shimin said.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and immediately went to find someone.

It stands to reason that Li Jing is the Minister of the Ministry of War. It is unreasonable for such a big official to be sent to find someone.

But this is the imperial decree, Li Jing did not dare to violate it, so he had to go.

When I arrived at the courtyard where Su Yu lived, I saw Lao Chen and Su Yu chatting.

"Consort."

Li Jing paid homage to Su Yu first.

"Shouldn't Lao Li meet the ministers of Yizhou City first?"

Su Yu laughed.

Li Jing replied: "Exactly, the emperor met all the officials of Yizhou City in the main hall."

"Ask why Lao Chen is not here, let me come over and invite him to court."

The place where the emperor is is the Shang Dynasty, although this is Yizhou City.

Old Chen asked strangely: "You guys just discussed it, and I'm one of them."

When he was in Chang'an, Li Shimin went to court, and Lao Chen loved to go or not.

Because he has to run between Sujiazhuang and Yongyangfang, he is very busy.

Su Yu smiled and said: "I guess Lao Li asked the ministers how to deal with Liuzhao, but they couldn't answer, so they want to ask you what to do."

Li Jing said: "The son-in-law is the emperor's confidant and knows what the emperor thinks."

puff.
Su Yu almost vomited, what is a confidant, sounds disgusting.

"What do you know? Old Li is such a little thing. I can figure it out as soon as I guess."

Su Yu laughed.

"Old Chen, you go, anyway, we have already talked."

Su Yu said.

Lao Chen finished his tea, got up and went to the main hall.

Li Jing and Lao Chen entered the court hall and stood together.

Both are military generals with similar grades.

After Lao Chen stood up, Li Shimin asked, "Did that salted fish get up?"

Old Chen said with a smile: "Go back to the emperor, the young master has woken up and is drinking tea in the backyard."

Li Shimin muttered: "I thought he would sleep for a few days before getting up."

The courtiers below were a little uncomfortable.

I thought the emperor was very majestic, but I didn't expect to talk to Lao Chen about his parents' disrespect.

"Tell me, how to deal with Liuzhao?"

Li Shimin asked.

The ministers in the court watched what Lao Chen said.

Old Chen said: "Your Majesty, military and state affairs are secrets, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to discuss them here."

Liuzhao knew that the Tang army was coming, but they didn't know how the Tang would attack.

If you say this in the court, you are afraid that there will be too many people talking about it, and it will be difficult to handle the plan if it gets out.

Li Shimin thinks it's right, it really shouldn't be discussed here.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's go."

Li Shimin said.

The ministers were very surprised, they all convened, and finally dispersed without saying anything.

"Long live the emperor."

Everyone cheered and danced, and withdrew from the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Li Shimin got up and walked to the backyard, Li Chengqian three, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Du Xingmin, Li Mufeng, and Lao Chen followed to the backyard.

Li Shimin entered the backyard and saw Su Yu lying there, with several beauties beside him pinching their feet and shoulders, and another one was feeding grapes to Su Yu.

Li Chengqian was jealous and envious.

As a dignified prince, I can't even ask a beautiful woman to wait on me when I take a bath.

On the other hand, Su Yu occupied so many beauties by himself.

In the morning, Li Chengqian heard that there were more than a dozen beauties waiting for Su Yu to take a bath yesterday.

Li Tai and Li Ke saw Li Chengqian's jealousy, and they laughed secretly that he didn't know what to do.

Who is Su Yu? He, a prince, dares to compare with Su Yu.

Li Shimin sat down.
