Wei Zheng and Tang Jian couldn't help but nodded slightly, and Li Shimin also looked stunned by Wang Zi'an's words, and thought secretly in his heart.
Changsun Wuji could not help but frown slightly.
This yellow-haired boy knows how to talk nonsense and confuse the public with his evil talk.
You know nothing about national affairs!
"In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land, and there is nothing but the king's ministers on the shores of the land. Now, your majesty, who has pacified Mobei and conquered all directions, is the common master of the world. How can you be so short-sighted and limited to one place and one area as you are?" between?"
Having said this, he glanced at everyone and focused his gaze on the face of Li Shimin, whose brows were slightly furrowed and thoughtful.
"Only by being kind to the world and treating the barbarians from all directions as the people of the Tang Dynasty can we show the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty and the benevolence of our Majesty the Tang Dynasty. Only then can they be grateful to the Tang Dynasty. I am sincerely convinced, so that my country, the Tang Dynasty, can be established forever and rule the world——"
Looking at this guy speaking impassionedly, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and suddenly wanted to slap him in the face.
Wang Zianyi squinted his eyes and looked at him with a sarcastic smile.
"Is this your way of governing the country? Changsun is in charge. Fortunately, you are just a small steward in the Changsun's house. If you were to be the prime minister, would you bring the Tang Dynasty into a ditch? Is this your way of governing the country? Ah, I think you are just stupid because of reading——"
Changsun Wuji's face suddenly turned red, and he almost threw away his sleeves in anger.
"Yellow-haired boy, you do know how to govern the country. You might as well tell me what's wrong with this policy? If we don't advise His Majesty to implement benevolent government, are we going to advise His Majesty to implement tyranny?"
Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji said coldly.
"Prince An, as the founder of Chang'an County in the Tang Dynasty, you have the responsibility to serve the country and advise the king to implement benevolent governance, but you are talking nonsense here. What are your intentions? Do you want our Majesty to become the emperor of Shang Dynasty? Jun, are you being reviled by all eternity?"
Changsun Wuji said, staring at Wang Zi'an's hateful little face without giving an inch.
This was what Li Shimin was most afraid of, and his expression suddenly changed when he heard this.
Wang Zi'an glanced at him, lazily picked up a mouthful of food, threw it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and waited until Changsun Wuji was about to explode, then said slowly.
"It seems that you are quite unconvinced? Come on, Chief Changsun. Seeing that you are still a bit stubborn and dare to talk back to me, the Marquis of Chang'an County, regardless of your dignity, I will give you a test to see if you can How good is it-"
As he said this, Wang Zi'an put down his chopsticks and looked at Changsun Wuji, whose face was covered in purple from holding in a joke, but couldn't show his face.
"Do you know why the Turks respectfully call His Majesty the Khan of Heaven?"
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but be speechless.
He wanted to say that it was because of His Majesty's benevolence, but after all, he was a counselor of the generation and a close confidant of Li Shimin. He really couldn't say such words that insulted his intelligence.
I had to say in frustration.
"Because we pacified Mobei - but, we can conquer the world immediately, how can we conquer the world immediately again..."
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise and laughed.
"You know that too, right? I thought you were stupid - it seems you are quite sensible -"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but shook his head, his tone a little emotional.
"The Sifang guest service is not obtained by treating our own people badly, suffering from our own people, and giving them super-national treatment. It is not obtained by trying to please them. It is achieved by relying on our own army——"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an picked up his tea bowl and paused.
"Our own strength is the foundation. As long as we are strong enough, the four parties will naturally respect us, behave ourselves, and be respectful, and we dare not go too far. If we fail to live up to our expectations, they will immediately Turn into a jackal, pounce on you and bite them - tell them about benevolence? They are afraid of power but not virtuous - "
Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded slightly, with an moved look on his face.
Although his son-in-law is tired, he is really far-sighted in terms of his mind and outlook on problems. Not to mention his peers, sometimes even his confidants, such as himself, can't match him.
"What's more, both Mobei and large areas west of the Yellow River have been invaded by barbarians for many years. The prefectures and counties are in depression, and the people are living a very miserable life. The court now does not try to appease them, but is thinking about how to appease the barbarians. People - you are saying that the imperial court is putting the cart before the horse and has it considered the feelings of the local people? They are the real people of the Tang Dynasty -"
Wei Zheng and Tang Jian couldn't help but have moved expressions on their faces.
Although they also opposed the imperial court's measures to appease the Dadushe, Tuoshe, Nishutele and seven-surname tribes that had not yet surrendered and prepared food in Qikou to help them tide over the famine, their thoughts were not so clear after all. , not so profound.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but frown several times. He wanted to open his mouth to refute many times, but finally sat down silently.
Although he was very different from Wang Zi'an, he still had the magnanimity he should have. He had to admit that although Wang Zi'an was annoying in his words, he still had a little something in his stomach.
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while.
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh. He picked up the wine glass and was just about to invite everyone to have a drink to lighten the atmosphere when he smelled a mellow and far-reaching fragrance that made people subconsciously stir up their Adam's apple from far away.
Several people couldn't help turning their heads in unison, and then they saw the fat man from before walking quickly with a few maids passing food around.
The distance is getting closer and the fragrance is getting stronger.
Even Wang Zi'an couldn't wait.
It’s been a long time since I traveled to the Tang Dynasty to eat such authentic pork!
Especially the pork with his cooking skills.
The shredded pork with Beijing sauce was served first.
He specially prepared the tofu skin and sweet sauce himself, stuffed it with shredded green onions, and wrapped it in sweet sauce. He took one bite and almost swallowed it all on his own tongue.
I have never tasted such delicious shredded pork in Beijing sauce.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but narrowed his eyes in happiness. Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, and Tang Jian wanted to throw themselves on the plate. Even Changsun Wuji, who was still feeling depressed, couldn't help but speed up the movements of his hands.
fragrant!
alcohol!
fresh!
Holding the last piece of tofu skin, Li Shimin carefully wrapped the last bit of shredded pork with Beijing sauce and stuffed it into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wang Zi'an in disbelief.
"You said, this Jingjiang shredded pork is made from pork?"
"Not bad - how is it -"
Wang Zi'an glanced at the smooth bottom of the plate that had been wiped clean by this guy, and couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, revealing a smug smile.
“It’s actually better than beef and mutton!”
Tang Jian withdrew his eyes from the bare plate.
Ah, I was a step too slow just now!
"Not bad, not fishy or smelly, the taste is mellow, it is definitely a delicacy in the world——"
Li Shimin couldn't help but said excitedly.
"The key is that this pig grows so fast -"
Wei Zheng's eyes couldn't help but shine.
"There will definitely be a market for pigs like this - Zian, you have found another way for the people to make money! Can you help me calculate how much money I can make from raising a pig in a year?"
Wang Zi'an looked at Wei Zheng, whose beard was trembling with excitement, and couldn't help but joked.
"Old Wei, what are you thinking? How about we stop working with Old Li and open a pig farm together. I will be responsible for paying and you will be responsible for the management. After one year, the custody will be better than that of me, a stingy old man. My father-in-law is very capable, and among other things, he has enough money to marry two concubines a year..."
Li Shimin:...
Wei Zheng:......
Ah, this——
"Ahem, forget it, forget it, I think my current job is pretty good..."
Seeing Lao Wei's dumbfounded look, Li Shimin and Tang Jian couldn't help laughing, and even Changsun Wuji couldn't help grinning.
But halfway through, he forcefully took it back.
Ah, you can't laugh, I seem to be still angry with this bitch Wang Zi'an——
But the shredded pork with Beijing sauce was just the beginning. The subsequent braised pork and braised pork ribs made several people unable to stop eating with chopsticks. While eating, I accidentally ate too much——
At the end, when the leek and pork dumplings were served, Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others couldn't help being dumbfounded.
I can’t eat anymore, what should I do?
Smelling the delicious aroma of pork and leeks, my mouth is almost watering.
Unfortunately, I am powerless.
I reluctantly tasted one.
Then I could only watch Wang Zian eat it by himself.
The point is, this dog can eat alone if it wants to eat alone, and it has to eat loudly!
hateful!
Don't say anything!
Let’s pack before we leave——
"Ahem, as for Zian, I tasted today's dumplings quite well. My Yue'er and your mother-in-law usually like this one, but it's a pity that they couldn't make it..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Father-in-law, we are the emperor, so please show some face!
My wife and mother-in-law have both moved out, what else can we say?
"That's easy to say. I'll ask the kitchen to make some more. When I leave later, you can help bring them back -"
When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.
That's pretty much it!
Wei Zheng and Tang Jian couldn't help but look envious.
Ah, why did our old lady fail to live up to her expectations and give birth to a beautiful eldest daughter?
Looking at the envious looks on the two people's faces, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but laugh.
"Brothers, when you leave, take some with you -"
With that said, he turned around and asked Changsun Wuji in a false tone.
"The eldest grandson is in charge, how about you come when you leave?"
Changsun Wuji:...
A dog should not be a son of a man.
If you really want to give it, why don't you sneak me out alone and ask?
"Need not--"
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.
We don’t steam buns to argue with each other.
The majestic Duke of Qi, who opened the government with the third division, sent your family a dumpling?
Each person has a thermal bucket that looks like a bulging clay pot. Inside the thermos bucket, there are steaming dumplings——
He just made this some time ago. It has double-layer glass inside and outside, and the insulation effect is very good.
On the slightly bulging round belly of the thermal bucket, there is also a beautiful and moving picture of chasing the cold on a summer night. In the blank space on the upper left side of the pattern, there is a delicate little poem written by hand.
After a small banquet, I went back to Pingqiao by the moon.
The music returns to the courtyard, and the lights come down from the balcony.
The remaining summer cicadas have driven away, and the new autumn geese have arrived.
How can I stay asleep? I raise my remaining cup before I lie down.
hiss--
Wei Zheng and Tang Jian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The paintings are good paintings, the calligraphy is good, and the poems are good poems. There is no problem with this. The problem is, do you use such precious glass products to fill dumplings and give them away?
If he hadn't known that Wang Zi'an didn't know the identities of himself and others, he would have suspected that this brat was giving gifts and bribes!
The two people faced each other and looked at each other carefully for a long time, then raised their heads with a look of reluctance and shook their heads firmly at Wang Zi'an.
"I accept it, but this dumpling jar is too valuable, we can't accept it-"
Looking at the serious expressions on the two little old men's faces, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at you ignorant brats, this thing is just an ordinary utensil. I have more - take it!"
After saying that, he picked it up and stuffed it into their arms one by one.
Before they could refuse, Li Shimin waved his hands at them.
"Keep it, to him, this is really a gadget, not worth much -"
Two people:……
Ah, this——
The emperor has already spoken, why should I refuse?
At that moment, I happily accepted it——
Changsun Wuji:...
I suddenly regretted it. I said I wanted it now, was it still too late?
But just think about it, if we ask for it later, we can’t afford to lose that person——
Li Shimin was also very satisfied.
This son-in-law has so many cards——
He was carrying the thermos bucket and was about to say goodbye and go out when he was stopped by Wang Zi'an. When he turned around, he saw Wang Zi'an taking two exquisite sandalwood boxes from the servants' hands.
"This is a small gift I prepared for my mother-in-law and Yue'er - I originally wanted to deliver it in person, but who asked me to be the son-in-law? I still can't figure out the door of my father-in-law's house -"
Li Shimin's smile suddenly froze on his face.
Ah, this——
"Every time I ask you, you always tell him right and left. Where do you live at home? Are you still keeping it a secret?"
Wang Zi'an joked half-truthfully, half-smilingly. He doesn't want to force him to show off his cards. The key is that it will probably happen sooner or later. Even if he doesn't need to send boxing gifts during the New Year, he still has to welcome the bride during the New Year.
Where can I pick up my wife?
"Ahem - what do you mean by talking about him? I'm mainly busy during this time, so I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time to entertain you -"
Li Shimin said, laughing twice.
"Come back, there is something I forgot to tell you just now. Because you performed the forging method and the steel pouring method for your merits, Your Majesty has made Yue'er the Princess of Yuzhang. Recently, we are planning to move to the princess's mansion. Okay, so what, I’ll ask my servant to take you over to identify the door later——"
Having said this, he couldn't help but pause.
"I guess your reward is coming soon -"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly wiped away a cold sweat.
Fortunately, I was smart and saved my life, otherwise I would have been doomed today!
Wang Zi’an:……
It works!
But he wasn't being serious. Since Li Shimin didn't want to show his cards, he wouldn't show them.
This is actually quite good——
Return to the palace.
Seeing Empress Changsun, Xiao Sizi, and Princess Yuzhang smiling happily after eating, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel happy.
"Come here - go to the Shilipo Pig Farm in the west of the city and catch some pigs for me -"
It’s delicious. Let’s eat more!
Ah, I'll just eat a few. It shouldn't have any impact, right?
