Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 681 The Real Purpose of Finding an Old House

Cooking is an unpopular industry and belongs to the low class, so the scholar-bureaucrats shook their heads and said that staying away from the kitchen is the way of a gentleman. Although Fang Xuanling is a "wife in charge", the wolf-like wife Fang still reserves the last bit of this man for him dignity, so he knows nothing about cooking.Seeing Li Chengqian and Xiao Jinghui arranging the meal skillfully, Lao Fang could put an egg in his mouth.

He can understand Xiao Jinghui's ability to cook. After all, he has to take care of his father every day. It is impossible for the cook in the shop to prepare and deliver every meal, but the prince can also cook. How can this make him uncomfortable? Surprised!
Regarding Lao Fang's doubts, Li Chengqian patiently explained that the current six rate has basically canceled the Huotou army establishment, the army does not have a dedicated cook, all the work is done by the soldiers themselves, and the saved military salary is distributed to the soldiers. It is to cultivate the spirit of hard work and hard work in the soldiers.

The army is used for war, so what's the use of raising so many fat men, let them eat all the good things, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low. In order to avoid the burden, it is better not to make up like this. With the participation of everyone, Li Chengqian has also practiced a good cooking skill.

The way to lead troops is difficult to say, but simple to say, you can eat in a pot and lie in a tent, let the soldiers know that their commander can share weal and woe with them, and only in this way can they fully gain their trust. Let the troops not be dragged or beaten, and a strong combat effectiveness can be guaranteed no matter what the situation.

Lao Fang has served as the emperor's military counselor for decades, so of course he understands what kind of troops will be brought out by this method. It is really a division of tigers and wolves, a journey of steel. No wonder the prince's prestige is so high in the sixth rate. It seems that it is not all due to seriousness. rewarded.

Just when Lao Fang was sighing, a pot of fragrant noodles came out of the pot, and these two refreshing side dishes were added, which really made people's index fingers move.During the meal, Li Chengqian also told Xiao Jinghui that both his father and son would be taken to Cangwen Academy, where he could study and his father could also try Sun Simiao's new method.

In the past, the stubborn little guy would have refused, because his father had told him that if he wanted to be respected by others, he had to rely on his own hands.The shop of their family was run in an industrial area. Growing up in the shop in the past few years also let him know that Prince is not only a title, but also one of the most honorable people in the world.

The master taught him that the whole world is not the king's land, the land is the king's minister, the prince is the future emperor, and all the people in the Tang Dynasty are his subjects, how can he defy his will, so happy He agreed, and kowtowed to Li Chengqian respectfully.

What's more, he respects that grandfather who comes once a year very much. If it can be cured, there is a son who would like to see his father crazy for the rest of his life!
"How about it, Fang Xiang, you can still eat the food that Gu cooks!"

"Well, that's right. Your Highness's craftsmanship is really nothing to say. It's a blessing for you to eat something that your majesty and mother haven't even eaten." Fang Xuanling, "a strict wife" said Not pedantic at all, flexible use and coping with everything is one of his strengths.

As a prime minister, he certainly has the right to advise, after all, the way of cooking is a small way, and the prince of a country should not focus on this aspect.But he didn't intend to say, let alone that the prince is a person with big ideas, he just said that this is a good development, the more the line, the more it will be.

"Well, you've said what you said. I'm used to stretching out my clothes and opening my mouth when I'm alone in the palace. If I don't have been a soldier for so many years, I might become the kind of character who doesn't want to eat meat! Look at it this way Come on, the army can indeed exercise people's spirit. In the future, when Xiang'er grows up, Gu will join him in the army, and let him walk the path that his father and Gu have walked. Conquering the country is not easy, but defending the country is even more difficult. Difficult, we must let this little guy suffer a little bit, let him know that governing the country is not easy, cherish the power of the people, so that he will not become a person who only cares about luxury and pleasure, right!"

The prince's words were implying something, of course Fang Xuanling could hear it, he was talking about this year's luxurious birthday banquet, not to mention that Li Chengqian thought it was a waste, even Fang Xuanling would be speechless when he saw it.Let’s take the recipes as an example. There are food that fly in the sky, food that run on the ground, and food that swim in the water, but there are all kinds of delicacies, and they have to be transported from all corners of the country, which shows the cost.

Li Shimin was born as an immediate emperor, so like those founding monarchs, he was a bit overjoyed, Lao Fang knew this very well.As the prince is a filial son, it is naturally difficult to say such words of remonstrance, so he hopes that he, the important minister who the emperor relies on, will find an opportunity to insinuate.

It is true that the national power of the Tang Dynasty is very strong now, but there is still a lot of gap compared with the most prosperous period of the previous Sui Dynasty.The behavior of the prince reminded Fang Xuanling of the conversation he had with the emperor. The emperor said that the prince was a brick-and-mortar man, and he did not see the inertia that a child of the royal family should have. .

In this way, when a person becomes an emperor in the future, there will be no situation where the officials force the people to rebel, because he will leave a mouthful of food for the people at any time.

For such busyness, Lao Fang is willing to help even if he may wear dragon scales. Since Wei Zheng was affected by that incident, he has been very reticent in court, so at some critical times, no one can persuade him. The emperor, who is determined to go his own way, needs someone to stand up and fill the vacancy at this time, telling him what to do and what not to do.

Until now, Lao Fang understood why the prince brought him here. Just like this old soldier, he forgot some things when he regretted it. If the big river has no water and the small river dries up, if you don’t understand such a simple truth, Lao Fang Fang's prime minister for more than ten years has been in vain.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the old minister knows what to do. Pick a suitable time, and the old minister will talk to His Majesty." After speaking, the two monarchs and ministers smiled, and there was no need to say anything further. .
As soon as he left the yard, he saw Heng Lian stepping forward and submitted an urgent report. After reading the contents, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth slightly raised, and he handed it to Fang Xuanling, and said calmly: "Everyone said Ruixue Zhao Fengnian, it seems that today's snow is a good omen, it has not been opened for so long, and it will be a big fish when it opens. Fang Xiang, do you think this item can be exchanged for an authentic Wang Xizhi at Father Huang's?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty must be sure that there is nothing wrong with submitting this urgent letter. Alas, he can finally sleep peacefully." After speaking, Lao Fang made a gesture of invitation, indicating that he could go back to the palace to deal with business. .
