Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 17

"Is this the list made by the Ministry of Rites?"

Li Shimin's eyes showed a stern look at the Minister of Rites in front of him and said.

At this time, Lu Kuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help sweating coldly under this gaze. This emperor is not easy to bully.

The change of Xuanwumen not long ago is vivid in his mind, and he will never forget the cold side of this emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites examines his merits, and that is indeed the case."

Lu Kuan bit the bullet and said, he naturally knew why this majesty was like this, because according to the above records, the military generals took the lead.

"Forget it, you step back!"

Li Shimin spoke up after being silent for a long time. In fact, the Ministry of Rites cannot be blamed for this, because there are still many things that people don't know.

For example, only he was aware of Wen Chen's many plans in Tiance Mansion before, and they were not recorded. After all, he was only the King of Qin at that time.

However, even if he added it, how to rank it, Li Shimin couldn't help but have a headache for a while.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin finally didn't start writing to give the specific ranking of these people.

"Let's go to the Imperial Garden first."

In the end, Li Shimin decided to take a breath before talking, even if it was about rankings, he still couldn't say it.

After all, there will always be people who will be dissatisfied, but when he came to the Royal Garden and saw the Guanyin maidservant, Li Shimin couldn't help being puzzled.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

After Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin, she couldn't help standing up, with a hint of affection between her eyebrows and her eyes.

"Guanyin maidservant, where is the beauty?"

Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said, although he had already said that there is no need to salute, but Empress Changsun still did.

"Going to the farm on the outskirts of Yafu."

"They were going to go yesterday, but Yafu is not in the city."

Empress Changsun seemed to think of the children and couldn't help but show a little kindness and said, but at this time Li Shimin felt that his whole body was not good.

"This old man knows to run away after throwing a trouble."

Li Shimin said a little annoyed, obviously he was worried about this matter.

"Your Majesty, Yafu is old, but he is much smarter than when he was young."

Empress Changsun slightly covered her mouth and said with a light smile, between her Yafu and her husband, she chose to stand on reason.

She knows a little bit more about the affairs above the court. Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it doesn't mean that she doesn't even know about it.

And the mutual calculation of the Weng and his son-in-law in the court made her a little dumbfounded, as if the two had disliked each other from the very beginning.

"Your Majesty, why don't my concubines ask Yafu how?"

Empress Changsun's eyes flickered and she said, one must know that as a queen, it is very difficult to leave the palace without special circumstances.

Of course, even if Empress Changsun had such thoughts, as the master of the harem, she would set an example by setting an example.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, but he seemed to think of something again, and his pupils dimmed a little.

"Let's go together, I haven't been there yet."

Li Shimin's faint voice sounded, in fact, when he was the king of Qin, he often went to the minister's house in order to buy people's hearts.

After ascension to the throne, the number of times I went there was once or twice, but not as many as when I was king of Qin, but no matter whether it was before or after ascension to the throne.

Speaking of which, he has never been to the mansion of this cheap father-in-law, but Empress Changsun often went back to stay for a few days when she was the princess.

"it is good!"

Empress Changsun said with a smile in her eyes, if it could alleviate the rivalry between the Weng and his son-in-law, he would naturally like to see it.

The wind is blowing, and the autumn in the north is already very cold, but this still can't stop the children's cheerful mood.

"Grandpa An, Changle wants to eat this, and this."

In a farm, Xiao Changle's cheerful voice sounded, pointing at the fruit for a while, and pointing at the vegetable for a while.

"Okay, grandpa will pick it for you."

Shu An looked at little Lolita and couldn't help showing a smile and said, his farm has opened up a large vegetable garden.

It is not easy to grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables on it, and some of the soil is transported from other regions.

"Both of you, pick what you want to eat at night."

Shu An looked at Gao Ming and Qing Que and said, but they seemed to be hesitant at this moment, after all, they had never picked melons and fruits with noble backgrounds.

"Grandpa An, the gentleman stays away from the kitchen."

After hesitating for a while, Gao Ming said, with a hint of reluctance in his words.

"Reading should be thorough. This sentence was used by Mencius to exhort King Xuan of Qi to practice benevolent government."

"What's more, the gentleman is a Confucian theory. As a superior person, Confucianism can be used, but not reused."

"And your grandpa An picked it, and your mother and queen picked it. Even your father must have had this experience. Could it be that the two of you can't pick it?"

Shu An glanced at it lightly and said slowly, although he was born in Confucianism, in his opinion, Confucianism is just a tool.

The little fat man took the lead. He didn't care what Confucianism said, but Grandpa An's last sentence aroused his interest.

That's right, my father, queen mother and grandpa an can pick fruits and vegetables, why can't he.

As for Gao Ming, when he saw that his younger brothers had entered the vegetable garden, he gritted his teeth and picked up a basket to pick.

"Laifu, in addition to grilling fish, go kill two ducks, let the kitchen cook one duck, and roast the other."

Shu An continued to say that there is a vegetable garden and a small pasture, where many chickens and ducks are raised, and of course there are not a few pigs.

Because of the seasoning, there are not many foods that can be made into future generations, but boiled duck and roast duck are still possible.

In this era, the main meat was mutton, and the top meat was cattle, but due to the shortage of farm cattle, it was forbidden to eat beef.

If it is discovered, it will be sentenced. As for pigs, they are called pigs in this era.

But it takes two to three years to raise a pig, and the pigs need so much food that ordinary people can't afford to raise them, and they don't even dare to think about it.

As for the rich and the rich, they look down on pork even more, because pork is eaten by the poor. This kind of cognition should have been formed for a long time.

Of course, this is nothing to Shu An. On the one hand, he has enough financial resources to support him. After all, he made a lot of war money in his early years.

The other thing is that he is used to eating pork. After all, most of the modern tables are pork, not mutton.

"It's a pity that there are only black pigs and no white pigs, otherwise the cycle would not be so slow."

Shu An thought silently, although there are more than a dozen pigs raised in the farm, but it is not a large-scale breeding, and if you eat one, you will lose one.
