Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 66 Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers
Get the support of more than half of the Ministry of Punishment?

Li Shimin wanted Li Zhi to retreat.

Because Li Daozong would not be the first to agree, he knew that Li Daozong still had a considerable desire to control power.

But Li Daozong couldn't get through this level, saying anything was nonsense!
Empress Changsun frowned when she heard the words. This request was too overwhelming. How could the Ministry of Criminal Justice take the initiative to agree to let a child be their chief? She looked at Li Zhi solicitingly.

But this should indeed be His Majesty's bottom line, childish slave, otherwise why would we still...

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and then said solemnly with a small face, "No problem! But, Father, don't regret it when the time comes..."

Li Shimin was taken aback.

After a pause, he thought that Li Zhi meant that once he finished, let him not regret giving the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Li Shimin said with a smile, "Of course I don't regret it! I'm really serious this time. If you really have this ability, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment will not give you too much!"

Li Shimin shook his head, this kid really dares to talk big, a typical newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise this time!"

Neither Li Tai nor Li Chengqian spoke at this time, and they also felt that this task was difficult to complete.

Li Zhi grinned when he heard that, he slightly lowered his big bright eyes, and thought to himself, I don't mean to regret this aspect...

Anyway, you are full of words now, and it will be useless to regret it when the time comes!

The banquet officially began soon.

There is no doubt that the quality of this banquet is very high, steamed, fried, boiled, stewed, roasted, fried... There are nine ways in total, and nine dishes are served at the small table in front of each person.

Tang continued the habit handed down from the pre-Qin period, eating in separate seats, and the staple food was rice.

It is worth mentioning that most of the officials present were from the Guan, or belonged to the powerful people in Shandong, and their usual staple food was mainly wheat pasta.

They are not used to rice, and many people regard the served rice as the tenth dish, obviously they were full of enthusiasm after eating the first nine dishes, and their eyes were full of strange lights, but as soon as the last rice dish was served.

They ate in silence.

Too bland!

What's the matter with this dish, it's not up to standard at all.

Li Zhi saw a lot of people silently carrying white rice planers on the steps, he almost couldn't laugh out loud.

These people are really not used to rice at all!

Will not eat at all!

But he was so happy to watch the excitement that he didn't bother to remind him that since he came to Lishui Palace, if he is not used to eating, he has to obediently eat rice!
At the end of the banquet, except for some opinions on a dish of rice, the officials generally believed that the banquet was a complete success!

"Almost perfect, I have never participated in such a wonderful banquet!"

"It's full of innovative dishes and tastes great."

"True taste and taste."

"After eating so many palace banquets, this one is the best."

The officials spoke one after another, and at this moment they understood why His Majesty chose to hold the banquet in Lishui Hall.

"Children eat these dishes every day?"

The fourth prince, Li Tai, felt unbalanced again. His father was simply too eccentric. His father actually gave all of such an excellent cook to Li Zhi!
Li Shimin saw his dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice, "You don't have to complain here, I didn't give you the cook for the young slave, and I just came here today for a meal."

Fatty Li Tai then opened his mouth wide, how could this be...

Li Shimin explained briefly, saying that these novel dishes were introduced from outside the palace by Li Zhi's master.

Li Tai was speechless, and could only turn his head to look at Li Zhi, envious that he had a good teacher.

Li Zhi blinked his eyes, but didn't speak...

"Your Majesty has finally been generous!"

All around below are the voices of officials applauding. As soon as a certain rough man's voice fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet and became completely silent.

Immediately made his words stand out.

Li Shimin's face was as black as an iron pot, and he looked over, "Cheng Yaojin, when was I not generous? Tell me clearly!"

Cheng Yaojin was on the spot, wishing to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, why did this group of people suddenly become quiet?Do it on purpose!

"Your Majesty, the misunderstanding is purely a misunderstanding!"

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said, "I want to say that His Majesty is too generous, how could he be so generous! If every dish here spreads to the taverns in the city, it will explode the whole city!"

He hastily apologized and flattered him by the way.

He does not mean that!
Li Shimin's heart suddenly moved...

He knew that as an emperor, he shouldn't have such thoughts, but he was helpless, his sleeves were empty, and his purse was empty.

He glanced at Li Zhi involuntarily, but before Li Zhi looked back, he looked away again.

This small episode only fueled the atmosphere of the banquet, Li Shimin was not such a stingy person after all, so he forgave Cheng Yaojin.

The banquet continued until the end.

Everyone was having a good time. Li Chengqian squinted his eyes to see that everyone was unhappy, but now he was rubbing his belly and laying on the chair with his back, looking very comfortable.

Li Shimin said to Li Zhi, "Don't you still have that black drink, why don't you take it out to let everyone have more fun."

Does it mean Coke? Li Zhi shook his shoulders indifferently and asked the maid to take it.

As long as water is added to that machine, Coke will come out from below. Li Zhi has already moved to the next door to the kitchen.

Soon, the maids received the iced cola in wine glasses, and carefully placed them on the small tables one by one.

"Well... this pure black drink is really rare."

"Is it made from black grapes?"

"It's so novel, it's still bubbling inside."

All the adults raised their glasses, all of them looked curiously. They tried to taste it and found that it still had a "spicy" throat!
It was the bubbles of Coke that exploded in their mouths and throats, and they were surprised.

“Sweet drink!”

"Well, the taste is quite good."

"Take a sip, and feel the cold and refreshing flow through the whole body!"

The eyes of the officials were full of strange light, and they all praised that it was the first time to drink such a drink, but the impact of the taste was quite strong.

Bite after bite, can't stop.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai held the wine bottle and drank it clean in a few gulps.

"Ah!" Then he raised his head and let out a sigh of satisfaction from the inside out.

"It's so good."

"The childish slave is living a fairy life every day!"

The two brothers were really intoxicated. Before, they felt that the father was so partial to the young slaves, but now they can understand it.

Follow the young slaves to have meat to eat!
Lizhi and Chengyang are very quiet in the whole city. Today's banquet is not unusual for them, so it's better not to show it, lest the two brothers' mentality explode again.

After the banquet, everyone left in high spirits.

It was still early, and Li Zhi wanted to complete the system's tasks as soon as possible, so he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The Ministry of Punishment is located in the westernmost part of the Outer Imperial City, and the west is in charge of killing and cutting. There are gluttonous food outside the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, and ferocious white tigers are painted on the wall, which is very majestic.

Li Zhi stepped in. He had been dealing with the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the past two days, and he knew a very hot matter in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which involved two people.

Everyone has something in their hearts but dare not say it, because speaking of it actually involves a third person, and that person is His Majesty!
I'm afraid that this incident will hurt His Majesty's self-esteem. If His Majesty really gets angry, they will all be finished!

But what they didn't dare to say was completely fine for Li Zhi, who had no taboos.
