Daily life of cat villains

The courtiers would not make indecent movements of poking their heads out while sitting, but they all secretly looked sideways at him.

I saw the crown prince's lowered head jerk a little, and then suddenly raised, with imperceptible blankness in his eyes.

Li Shimin and Xu Zhi's eyes met, and he knew that he didn't hear his words clearly.

And the way he looked just now, he was dozing off, right?

Li Shimin felt so helpless.Knowing that this young body is his elder brother, seeing his son's familiar face, he still can't help caring for him like a father.

When the courtiers saw him dozing off in the morning, they must have said in their hearts that he didn't understand the rules.Li Shimin didn't think that Xu Zhe intended to be disrespectful, Cheng Qian's health was indeed not in good condition, could it be that he was feeling unwell these two days?

Li Shimin looked at Xu Zhe with concern, and said, "Did the Prince hear what Prince Zhan Shi said? What do you think?"

Xu Zhe woke up, it was finally his turn to speak.

He stood up from his seat and bent over slightly, "I ask you to abolish the crown prince."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

Several old officials couldn't sit still, especially the prince's teachers.Kong Yingda pointed at Xu Zhe, trembling all the time, too angry to speak.

Those of them who are teachers have never thought of giving up the prince, how could the prince want to quit the job first?So many people are staring at the prince's position, even if they are angry for a while, they shouldn't shake the country by saying such words!When Zhang Xuansu went to the East Palace to appeal, the prince was not the same as before.He was still dozing off in the hall today, and the words he said just now were extremely serious, Zhang Xuansu felt that the prince was real this time.Looking at the prince again, he stood upright in the same place, fearlessly facing His Majesty's gaze, showing no sign of repentance.

Zhang Xuansu's heart moved, and he said loudly: "Absurd! How can a prince of a country act so absurdly!"

The absurdity of the prince's behavior is well known throughout the court, and it is absurd to play with eunuchs, it can be corrected, and today's incident can also be corrected.

Everyone else was whispering to each other, but Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Shimin and then at Wei Zheng, thoughtfully.

Li Shimin coughed and everyone fell silent.

"Nonsense!" Li Shimin also wanted to change the crown prince, but he couldn't do it so suddenly.Although there is something wrong with the prince, it has not yet reached the point of establishing a separate one.Frequent changes in the position of the crown prince will lead to dissent among other sons. Only when the position of the crown prince is stable can people's hearts be stable.

Even if you change someone to be the prince, you can't just change it.

The eldest brother is also true, why don't you discuss it with him in advance.

Wei Zheng came to his senses first and came out first, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, the others also came out to persuade him, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Li Shimin said coldly, "I came here this morning, all my loves, please come back, the prince comes here."

The courtiers left one after another, and none of them procrastinated.They all know that the time for His Majesty's godson has come.

Xuanzheng Hall is in the center of Daming Palace, with the Zichen Hall of the Inner Dynasty to the north and the Hanyuan Hall of the Outer Dynasty to the south.

Surrounded by Yushi Terrace, Hanlin Academy, East and West Halls, Left and Right Jinwu Changyuan, and Zhongshumen Xiaxing, there are also eunuchs’ inner palaces and inner servants’ other provinces, and other Wangxiantai, Taiye Pool, and Qingsi Hall. When it was not suitable for talking, Li Shimin simply asked Xu Zhi to go back to Taiji Palace together, and he could have a meal by the way, so he went all the way back to Taiji Palace.

Xu Zhe sighed inwardly.

He got up at 40:[-] in the morning and has been tossing until now. He just said a word, and he will go back soon, which is too much trouble.

All the way in silence, he returned to the Tai Chi Hall.

The East Palace is on the east side of the Taiji Hall. To be precise, the East Palace is a part of the Taiji Hall, the palace on the east side of the main hall. Going back from the Daming Palace, passing through the Xuanfu Gate, it passes in front of the East Palace.

When Li Shimin saw the palace wall, he suddenly remembered something, but Xu Zhe was on the shoulder behind him, so let's talk to him later when we get to the Tai Chi Hall.

Jianyu landed in front of the east palace gate, and the eunuch helped him down, and followed Li Shimin in. After he was seated, Tian Cong brought two bowls of thick tea soup, and quietly retreated, only father and son (brothers) remained.

The tea soup on the table smelled like scallion and ginger. Xu Zhe never suffered from this crime when he was acting as someone else, except that he became a prince twice and couldn't even drink a sip of clear tea.

Not only that, the winemaking process at this time is not very good.There is a kind of wine that has a layer of green floating on it after brewing, so it is called "green ant wine". There is no longing for anything.

"I know you don't want to continue to be the crown prince. There is no rush for this matter. You have to think of a charter first, so that you can satisfy the civil and military officials. Since ancient times, if the crown prince is unstable, disasters will happen. Brother, you don't want to shake the Tang Dynasty, do you?"

"What do you say to do?"

What Xu Zhe said this morning was not to express his inner thoughts thoughtlessly, but to give Li Shimin an attitude in public.

If he said it bluntly at the court meeting, Li Shimin's doubts in his heart should be gone.Since then, he has not threatened Datang Jiangshan, and has no intention of avenging his son and nephew. Datang Jiangshan is still a descendant of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said, "Brother also knows that Chengqian's health has not been very good."

Xu Zhe nodded.

Li Shimin stopped talking.

After living a new life, his elder brother became the eldest son. Even though he experienced Li Chengqian's death, he would still feel sad knowing that he would never see Li Chengqian again.

Xu Zhe didn't speak either.

It is very suitable to drink tea at this moment of silence, but he doesn't want to touch it at all, just staring at the soup bowl in a daze.

Li Shimin suddenly asked: "How does the elder brother plan to treat the Su family?"

The Su family is the daughter of Su Quan, the governor of Taizhou. She married Li Chengqian when Su Quan was Secretary Cheng, and became his concubine. She also gave birth to Li Jue, the first son, two years ago.Before Li Jue, he had two concubine sons, the eldest son was named Li Xiang, and the second son was named Li Yi.Doctor Li died young, but in fact Li Chengqian only had two sons, a concubine and a concubine.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he regretted it.

When he mentioned Chengqian's Crown Princess, his elder brother would definitely remember his own Crown Princess Zheng.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, none of Li Jiancheng's sons survived, but Mrs. Zheng lived well. She was sent to live in Changlemen and raised some children without fathers.When Li Shimin died in her previous life, she lived well.

Although Mrs. Zheng was not killed, what if Xu Zhe wanted to see her, and the two of them talked about the past and aroused resentment?

Xu Zhe said, "Chengqian is weak and can't even hold the post of crown prince, how can he get close to the crown princess?"

Li Shimin nodded, seeing that Xu Zhe didn't bring up Mrs. Zheng to embarrass him, the long-silent brotherhood reappeared, "Brother..."

This call was full of emotion, Xu Zhe couldn't help raising his eyebrows sideways, "What are you doing?"

"It's just... I miss my brother a little bit."

In fact, he really wanted to ask if Xu Zhe was also thinking about the brotherhood.When he was King Qin, he wanted to ask this question when he accepted Xu Zhe's banquet.

At that time, Li Yuanji interrupted him, so he couldn't speak.To get along with him calmly is today, time has passed and things have changed.This sentence no longer makes sense.

Because he already has the answer in his heart.

If his own child was killed by Xu Zhe, would he still miss his old love?

No.

Why bother to say it again, it's boring.

Li Shimin thought and thought, and said: "Sister-in-law is at Changle Gate. Brother, if you want, you can go and see her."

Xu Zhe wanted to drink tea again. After seeing the mush in the bowl, he stared at it for a while, and gave up the idea of ​​drinking tea, "Let's talk."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother, stay here and finish your lunch before going back, you and I haven't had dinner together for a long time."

Xu Zhe agreed, just to give the people in the East Palace a little room to play freely. When they go back, they can ask Li Yuanji if they can control them.

Lunch is raw lamb stew, lamb liver stew, manna soup, broiled salamander, cheese cherry, chrysanthemum stew, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, double mixed square cake, long-lived porridge, a dish of clear bamboo shoots and a dish of vinegared celery.

Tang people like to eat sheep, but also like to eat fish.At that time, the ironmaking technology was not so developed. The iron pots used for cooking were only available in the Song Dynasty. The cooking methods were mostly roasted, boiled, and steamed. The boiled vegetables were not as delicious as meat, and there were very few vegetables on the table.

No wonder Li Tai was so fat, even Li Zhi who was not in good health was also chubby in his memory.There is also Li Shimin's "wind disease", which is probably caused by unhealthy diet and poor rest.

Xu Zhe said: "Eat less meat and more vegetables."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, smiled and pushed the bamboo shoots over, filled another bowl of porridge, "Brother is too."

Tang people also like to add some weird things to porridge, such as this tea soup... Cough, such as flax porridge, which contains a lot of sesame seeds.There is also cold food barley porridge, which is cold porridge with almonds and caramel in it.There are also various grains, fruits, and dried fruits in other porridges, basically whatever you think of.

Changsheng porridge is a porridge made from black rice, which contains red dates, longan, raisins, and lotus seeds. It tastes like eight-treasure porridge.

After eating, he removed the bowls and chopsticks, Li Shimin said: "I want to tell Wei Zheng about my brother, what do you think?"

He called Wei Zheng to Zichen Palace yesterday, and chatted with him about Li Jiancheng for a long time.

Wei Zheng here is Li Jiancheng's old department. After Li Jiancheng's death, Li Shimin begged many times before letting him work.He is a loyal person. After taking refuge in Li Shimin, he helped him conscientiously. When he followed Li Jiancheng, he also assisted Li Jiancheng with all his heart. He also proposed to kill Li Shimin earlier, but Li Jiancheng rejected them all.

Wei Zheng has a good character and a strict mouth, and most importantly, Li Jiancheng has a kindness for him.If there is anyone in this world who remembers Li Jiancheng well, Wei Zheng should be among the civil servants.

Feng Li has been dead for many years, Xue Wanche is in Puzhou, after so many years, the traces of Li Jiancheng's existence have been polished away, Wei Zheng is the most suitable candidate.

Xu Zhe thought for a while, Wei Zheng is 60 years old this year, according to the original development, he should be the prince and grand teacher in two years, and passed away after sitting in the position of grand teacher for a year, it's hard to say that he wasn't mad at Li Chengqian.

"That's fine." Xu Zhe said, "I'm just worried that he will get sick from fright as he gets older."
