Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 281 Not Like
After Li Shan traveled to this era, at first he felt that the conditions were not good because he was in the countryside. After that, he made friends with Wang Renbiao, Li Kai, and Li Zhaode one after another, but the food he ate...may be eye-opening, but it is really better Not going to the university cafeteria.

That's why Li Shan came up with Dongshan Restaurant and hot pot... But today, Li Shan felt that the quality of the imperial banquet was far inferior to Dongshan Restaurant... No wonder he was able to stand out in Chang'an's catering industry in just a few years !
In the early Tang Dynasty, the meal system was still used for formal occasions, mainly mutton, fish, and vegetables. Today, Li Yuan specially arranged for mutton.

The so-called cross-hall sheep is a live sheep brought in. The guests order food from different positions on the sheep, and the chef will tie it with different colored threads. After the barbecue is finished, it will be served again.

This can be regarded as a big dish in formal occasions in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shan has little interest.

It’s fine if the mutton hasn’t been marinated, barbecue... no cumin, no chili, there is no soul, it’s not as good as the mutton skewers on the roadside.

Fortunately, Li Shan's acting skills are good, at least he seems to be eating with gusto, "To escape the heat?"

"I'll call you when the time comes." Li Yuan smiled and said, "Chang'an can't stand the scorching heat. In the former Sui Dynasty, a summer palace city was built in Qizhou, which is the Renshou Palace."

Li Shan suddenly said: "Ren Shou Palace, the work of Yu Wenkai in the former Sui Dynasty."

"In Qizhou, 280 miles northwest of Chang'an, it's just a little farther."

Yu Wenkai, a master craftsman of the former Sui Dynasty, left deep traces in this era. Chang’an and Luoyang are his masterpieces, as is Renshou Palace. Tens of thousands of craftsmen have been working for a long time. Collect water into a lake.

However, Li Shan remembered that Renshou Palace was another reason. Later, Renshou Palace was renamed Jiucheng Palace. The inscription was written by Wei Zheng and written by Ouyang Xun.

Li Yuan sighed: "Every midsummer, the heat is unbearable, but the lower terrain of the imperial city makes it even hotter."

"Don't worry, uncle." Li Shan is actually not very good at charming, "My nephew has learned how to make ice, and I will send it to my uncle to escape the summer heat."

"Ice making?" Li Yuan said in amazement: "It is said that your knowledge is mixed, it is true, what else is good?"

Thinking of the scorching summer, it would be so refreshing to have a sip of iced soup... Li Yuan's throat couldn't help but twitch.

"What I have learned is complicated... I only understand a little, not proficient, so it may not be a good thing." Li Shan said with a smile: "But I want to invite my uncle to join the Imperial Medical Office..."

"Definitely not." Li Yuan interrupted decisively: "The order of the imperial medical office is only from the seventh rank, and Huairen cannot be treated!"

Hey, I just want to find such a place to shrink my head, it doesn't matter if my official position is low!
Li Shan begged for a few words, Li Yuan sighed: "Ping Yang is resolute, if you enter the Imperial Medical Office, I'm afraid..."

If he was a pure doctor who saved Princess Pingyang, it would be appropriate to grant the order of the Imperial Medical Office, but Li Shanben is the top of the list of Jinshi in this subject, and if he is released, he will at least be an official of the sixth or seventh rank.

The order of the Imperial Medical Office is only from the seventh rank, and it will be very difficult to be promoted in the future... For Li Shan, at least in the eyes of outsiders, this is not a reward but a demotion.

Li Yuan pondered for a while, "It's true that Zhongshu Sheren is not suitable. Huairen is eighteen years old and has too little experience. You can choose carefully these days."

Let me choose... This word sounds a bit harsh. An emperor asks you what reward you want, and even allows you to speak... Li Shan sighed inwardly, this is also a man who makes a fuss in his stomach.

"Your Majesty, the subject is not weak in years, less experienced than experienced, and dare not speak falsely about the important affairs of the court." Li Shan stood up and said respectfully, "It is up to Your Majesty to choose."

Li Yuan smiled slightly and said nothing, the young man in front of him was a sensible one.

"But I studied medicine when I was young. I am not good at diagnosing diseases, but good at healing." Li Shan continued: "I will not work in the Imperial Medical Office, but I hope to teach in the Imperial Medical Office. Please allow it."

Hey, so well-behaved, so sensible... Li Yuan squinted his eyes when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Since Huairen has this intention, I will let it go, and I will choose a job for Huairen in the future."

After the banquet, Li Yuan took the fish bag from the palace servants and handed it to Li Shan himself, "Since I went to the Imperial Medical Office to give lectures, since I often go to the city, I have no taboos in and out of the city wearing a fish bag."

Li Shan took the fish bag with both hands, carefully put it on his waist, and thanked him again.

The fish bag is decorated with gold and silver, and contains a fish charm, which is the identity certificate for officials to enter and leave the imperial city. Now in the early Tang Dynasty, there are not all kinds of regulations, and there are officials of all grades who can enter and leave the imperial city, and they are not high-end products.

For example, Fang Xuanling of Tiance Mansion has now relinquished his post to Du Yan, so he has no fish bag, can't enter or leave the imperial city, let alone enter Chengqian Palace, and Li Shimin cannot do without Fang Xuanling in his discussions. He could only leave the imperial city in person and go to Tiance Mansion.

Watching Li Shan go away under the guidance of the palace people, Li Yuan put his hands behind his back, thinking that this young man is a good person, neither arrogant nor impetuous, modest, with more experience, he will be a pillar.

After walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Shan was still a little confused. He quickened his pace and prepared to go home immediately. After careful consideration, he would discuss with Ling Jing and Ma Zhou...but at this moment, there was a familiar coughing sound.

"Uh...Cui...Cui Sheren."

Cui Xin stared at Li Shan with a sullen face, turned around and walked to the corner, then turned around again, and continued to stare at Li Shan... Obviously to let Li Shan go to listen to the training.

I don't owe you anything, the Zhongshu Sheren who messed with me haven't settled with you yet!

Li Shan's face turned cold, but then his expression eased... Well, I really don't want that Zhongshusheren, and you have helped me a lot.

When Li Shan came close, Cui Xin snorted, "There have been two vacancies for Zhongshu Sheren since the beginning of February. After Zhongshuling took office, a certain person has been reinstated as Zhongshu Sheren. There is one person left...it has not been decided yet."

"East Palace, King Qin, and King Qi are all interested in recommending it."

Zhongshu Sheren may seem unimportant, but it is one of the most important positions of the Zhongshu Province. He inherited the Zhongshu Order, drafted the imperial edict, and the Six Departments of the Second League... How could Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin not like such a crucial position?

No wonder Li Jiancheng would open his mouth today... Li Shan shuddered, and involuntarily raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Thank you, Mr. Cui."

Cui Xin sneered again, alright, this time I changed from Cui Sheren to Cui Gong.

"Today the crown prince is fighting for you..." Cui Xin said in a low voice, "Since you are admitted to an official position through the imperial examination, you should be impartial and loyal to the court and His Majesty."

This is Cui Xin's reminder, since you don't want to be drawn into the vortex of seizing the heir, then don't bother with both sides... At certain moments, those who die the fastest are those who don't stand on the left or on the right, but insist on standing in the middle people.

Cui Xin's reminder is very important, but Li Shan thinks of more... The Li Yuan I see today is somewhat similar to the image in history, but more, it is not like it.
