Chapter 228 Cold Wave
Cheng Yaojin stroked his chin and said: "The prince is really wronged. It is really emotional to do such a thing to control the snow disaster."

After Li Chongyi's words fell, a group of officials fell silent.

Looking at the note again, Li Chongyi went on to speak: "I think that even if the prince's business is wrong, it is for the purpose of dealing with the snow disaster. Your majesty should decide the merits and punishments."

After reading the words on the note, Li Chongyi bowed and stood in the hall.

Li Shimin was very curious about what Li Chongyi was looking at in his hand.

Generally speaking, courtiers would write things down on the wat board when they wanted to speak. As for what Li Chongyi held in his hand, it should have been prepared in advance.

Speaking of it, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were asked to deal with the snow disaster in order to complete the task of the court.

Now it seems that the two brothers have done a good job so far.

Li Chongyi asked His Majesty to decide on the merits and demerits of rewards and punishments, and then pushed the question to Li Shimin.

Li Chongyi was usually seen as an honest kid, but Li Shimin looked at him suspiciously, which didn't seem like something this kid would say on weekdays.

Seeing Li Chongyi peeking at the note in his hand again, Li Shimin had a rough guess in his mind.

Sitting upright, seeing that Wei Zheng had nothing to say, Li Shimin also fell silent.

Seeing the situation, Fang Xuanling walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the prince's business is to deal with the snow disaster. Why don't we talk about the prince's merits and demerits after the snow disaster is over."

"Okay." Li Shimin accepted Fang Xuanling's opinion with a smile.

After retiring from the court, Li Chongyi was about to leave the Tai Chi Hall when he was stopped by a young eunuch.

"Your Majesty has summoned you, the Little County King please."

The little eunuch had a smile on his face.

Li Chongyi was vigilant and followed him all the way to Wude Hall.

Now His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan were talking, so they stood aside without disturbing them.

Li Yuan, whose beard was already gray, saw Li Chongyi and said, "This is the kid from Xiaogong's family."

Only then did Li Chongyi take a step forward, "Greetings, Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "How old are you?"

"Seventeen." Li Chongyi replied.

"Seventeen?" Li Yuan recalled and said, "Have you married a wife?"

Li Shimin said: "I haven't married a wife yet."

"It's really not young, and it's time to think about marriage." Li Yuan nodded and said.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chongyi and said, "Hand over what's in your hand, don't hide it."

Li Chongyi honestly took out the note.

Passed to Li Shimin by the little eunuch.

Li Shimin took a look to verify his conjecture, but he didn't expect the handwriting to be so poorly written. Fortunately, Li Chongyi could recognize it.

With a helpless smile, Li Shimin said: "Li Zheng's handwriting still hasn't improved a bit."

Seen through by Li Shimin, Li Chongyi just smiled awkwardly.

Li Shimin went on to say: "Li Zheng is a kid with a wandering mind, and he doesn't do anything right all day long. You should not associate with him."

"I understand."

"Go home." Li Shimin said.

Li Chongyi left Wude Hall with a disturbed heart, this should not be regarded as deceiving the emperor.

After Li Chongyi left, Li Yuan said, "I have heard Li Zheng's name several times."

Li Shimin put the note in front of Li Yuan and said, "He is not a child who surrenders so easily."

Li Yuan smiled even more happily, "There are also people you, Li Shimin, can't handle."

In Wude Hall, the two father and son were discussing things in low voices.

There was a lot of trouble in the court because of the prince's affairs.

Di Zhixun, who was working in the East Palace, was also very anxious when he knew about this.

After all, he is doing business for the prince, and if he has anything to do with the prince, he has to do with himself.

If something goes wrong with the crown prince, there will be no good end for this large group of people in the East Palace.

Di Zhixun came to Li Zheng's home.

He has been curious about Li Zheng since he came to Chang'an.

His rumors are also very loud in Chang'an.

Now when the name Li Zheng is mentioned, no one knows, no one knows.

It's just a 12-year-old child. In Di Zhixun's own perception, what should a 12-year-old child learn.

Literacy and hyphenation, able to understand some major principles
Like Li Zheng, he must be proficient in the four arts, understand all kinds of craftsmanship, and reach the realm of creating things from nature.

Just the existence of such a person is already very rare.

But if this person is a 12-year-old child, it would be a bit shocking.

Or is it because Li Zheng came to the world, is God helping Li Shimin?
Di Zhixun looked at Li Zheng's yard, and said to Li Zheng who was sitting by the teapot: "I know you are very rich, but why do you live in such a simple place, and there are only you father and son in your house, how can you be a small worker? There are none."

Li Zheng closed his eyes and said to Di Zhixun in a low voice: "My family is a poor family. Sometimes I get used to living a hard life, and I can't change it."

"Are you meditating?" Di Zhixun saw Li Zheng sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Li Zheng took a deep breath and opened his eyes, "I'm actually meditating."

"meditation?"

"That's right, I've used my brain too much recently." Li Zheng saw a package of things in Di Zhixun's hand.

Di Zhixun opened the pack of oil paper and said, "Recently the prince went to deal with the snow disaster, but I don't have anything to do. I'll come to you when I'm free."

Opening this pack of oiled paper, Li Zhengcai discovered that it turned out to be some tea leaves, as well as sesame seeds and orange peel.

"I don't know if the county marquis is interested in drinking tea?"

Li Zheng took out the tea leaves from these condiments, and then put the tea leaves on the lid of the pot above the clay stove.

Watching the tea leaves become darker in color when heated, then lose water and curl up and slowly turn black.

Di Zhixun said: "Good tea, why does the magistrate do this?"

Ignoring Di Zhixun's question, Li Zheng put the blackened tea leaves in a bowl, soaked them in boiling water and handed them to Di Zhixun, "Taste it."

Holding the bowl, Di Zhixun took a sip and said aftertaste, "It's so bitter."

Li Zheng also brewed a bowl for himself, "It is indeed bitter, but your tea leaves are all hairy."

Di Zhixun laughed and said, "It's been a long time."

Li Zheng took another sip. Although the tea leaves were not very good, it still tasted like tea.

Di Zhixun also said aftertaste: "The taste is bitter, but the aftertaste is wonderful."

"I think the essence of tea lies in the taste of tea. When you drink tea, you like to put some miscellaneous things, which makes the tea soup greasy and messy. I don't know why you like to drink it so much."

After hearing Li Zheng's words, Di Zhixun was speechless, and after thinking about it, he explained: "Cooking tea soup is a kind of cultivation."

"I think drinking tea is drinking tea." Li Zheng said.

"It's a simple insight."

It's obviously for tea, but it has to be so literary.

It is also necessary to add some sense of art. The ancients paid attention to etiquette, and learning how to cook tea is also a kind of etiquette for them.

Set a threshold for etiquette, and regard this as the difference between the rich and powerful and the common people.

Li Zheng scoffed at this distinction between high and low.

 The chapter name is wrong, I hope you don’t take offense, and I don’t know if it has been corrected,
