Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

After standing at the entrance of the main hall for a long time, Wei Zheng barely reacted.

At this time, it is actually like autumn here, it is extraordinarily cool, without any hot feeling at all.

Silently walking into the hall, Wei Zheng took a closer look, and saw that there were ice cubes everywhere in the hall, so densely packed that it dazzled people.

There are also many maids and eunuchs, holding fans and slowly blowing the cool wind to the center.

In the middle of the main hall, there is a huge round table, which is already full of seats.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wei Zheng would have thought he was hallucinating.

For people like them, seeing ice cubes is nothing unusual.

after all.

As the emperor, he could still enjoy this privilege, but he had never seen so many ice cubes.

From storing ice cubes last winter to now, it will cost a huge price.

And despite this, the amount that can be stored is not very large.

If I remember correctly, even if the emperor wants to use ice cubes, there is a specific amount every day, which must not be exceeded.

otherwise.

Summer is not over yet, even the emperor will never see ice again.

"This... this is too wasteful!" The expression on Wei Zheng's face became even more difficult to look at.

Although he had already seen Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others sitting at the table, and even the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was already sitting here.

but.

Even so, he couldn't back down. The emperor's actions were too extravagant and wasteful, and he didn't pay attention to the world and the people at all.

From the day he followed Li Shimin, Wei Zheng was already mentally prepared, even if he died at the hands of the other party, he would never sit idly by.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a little too much?" At this moment, Wei Zheng's discordant voice came faintly.

The originally quite lively hall suddenly fell silent, and almost everyone turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes fell on Wei Zheng.

Especially Li Shimin...

When he saw Wei Zheng, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Just from what he said just now, it can be heard that Wei Zheng is in a very unhappy mood at this time. Based on the current pomp and understanding of his temper, it is easy to understand what he is thinking now.

"Teacher is here, hurry up..." Li Shimin wanted to invite Wei Zheng over with a smile on his face.

but.

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wei Zheng's unceremonious words.

"Your Majesty took out these extremely precious ice cubes on a large scale to enjoy, completely ignoring that the ministers can ignore them in the future. It is His Majesty's business to eat whatever delicious food you want!"

"But to do these things, all the ministers in the court, even the Supreme Emperor, have come here. When doing these things, has Your Majesty thought about the people who are suffering outside now?"

"Extravagance and waste, extravagance and extravagance, no consideration for the people of the world, and even holding a poetry meeting, is this the way His Majesty governs the world?"

Wei Zheng's sentence after sentence made everyone look at each other in blank dismay.

Even Li Yuan didn't expect that this Wei Zheng would be so shameless.

Anyway, since he is still here, it is indeed too much to say such things in front of so many people, but he also understands in his heart that Wei Zheng did this for the sake of the court and the people of the world, and it is not easy for him to say anything.

Li Shimin's face was also not very good-looking, but after all, this is his teacher and a minister in the court, so it is understandable to say this without knowing the situation.

therefore.

Forcibly suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he quickly came to Wei Zheng's side, and roughly narrated what happened in the other courtyard and what Li Jian made.

of course.

There are a lot of details that are naturally inconvenient to say, so I can barely explain the situation here.

"What? Ice cubes can be produced in large quantities?" Wei Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, and turned to look at the ice cubes in the hall.

Only then did I realize why Li Shimin was so generous!
Li Shimin:? ? ? ?
After talking for a long time, I heard an ice cube?
Wei Zheng is a very decent person, if he can't give him an answer that satisfies him, even if he hits the south wall, he won't turn back. Li Shimin also understands his temper and character, so he will take the initiative to explain first.

Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that only Wei Zheng has such treatment.

"Today is a happy day, come and join us!" Li Shimin warmly extended the invitation.

Wei Zheng was originally unwilling to participate in this kind of scene, especially because there are so many people now, but because he was really presumptuous just now, he hesitated and agreed to Li Shimin's request.

soon.

Wei Zheng sat down at that table, and everyone quickly forgot what happened just now, and liked to get lively again.

In fact.

This time, Li Shimin hosted a banquet just for Li Yuan. He knew that Fenghuang likes to be lively, so he invited Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin to attend at the same time.

Even Pei Ji and more senior ministers were included in his invitation.

"What exactly is this?" In order to alleviate the embarrassment just now, Li Yuan smoothly changed the subject of everyone, so he raised the question that had not been answered just now.

It was the first time for him to see this kind of copper pot. Like Li Shimin back then, he didn't quite understand the difference from the main things they usually saw.

"This is called hot pot..." Li Shimin began to explain with a smile.

As for Cheng Yaojin and the others, they had already experienced the beauty of this thing, and now they just lowered their heads and chomped down on the food, not paying attention to it at all.

Li Yuan listened with gusto, and at the same time, reached out to pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to taste it, and immediately felt that it was quite delicious.

Even Wei Zheng, who just joined, couldn't help but start to do it, and soon became addicted to it.

There were a lot of bands sitting beside the table, the sound of pipa could be heard continuously, and everyone was eating hot pot lively, the atmosphere was quite lively.

Not long after, everyone was sweating profusely, and you couldn't help but wipe the sweat off your forehead.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Li Shimin immediately asked someone to take out a few wine jars just right.

This is exactly the Wuliangye brought back from another courtyard!

When Cheng Yaojin and others saw these wine jars, their eyes immediately changed.

When he returned to Chang'an, it took him two full days to barely wake up from his drunkenness.

at this time.

Seeing these familiar wine jugs again, I wanted to drink but was a little scared.

"Father, this is the only good wine in the world today. No one else owns it except here. You should have a good drink today!" Li Shimin said with a smile looking at those wine jars.
