Man Tanghong

Fast forward to December 25, and the Nuo Opera Festival has gone through four rehearsals.

All the sacrificial personnel were tossed hard, but everyone still completed every rehearsal meticulously.

Li Gang, Pei Ju and other senior ministers, even if they fainted during the rehearsal, they were still carried through all the procedures.

It can be seen how important the Nuo Opera Festival is in their hearts.

The great affairs of the country are enshrined in Rong, this sentence is not just said casually.

Veterans like Li Gang, Pei Ju, etc. are guarding this sentence with their lives.

Although Li Yuanji was touched and was not so resistant to participating in the Nuo Opera Festival, he would still be lazy when it was time to be lazy. The city gate building that used to provide shelter for him, Li Chengqian, Li Chengye and other little guys has become The perfect place for him to goof off.

After going through the process again in the wind and snow, Li Yuanji hid in the gate of the city without taking off his face or changing his clothes.

The old gate official on duty was used to him being lazy in the city gate building, so instead of saluting with sincerity and fear, he very naturally took out some good things he treasured to share with Li Yuanji.

"This is... the large intestine?"

After casually opening the kraft paper package handed over by the old door officer, Li Yuanji saw something unexpected.

The old gate official was taken aback when he heard this, and hurried forward to take away the large intestine.

The consumption rate of the large intestine is extremely low in Datang. It can be said that few people will eat this thing.

It is precisely because of this that most butchers will bury this thing together with other internal organs after slaughtering cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock.

It will cost your head to eat this kind of filthy thing that most people don't eat and discard it like a shoe.

"Don't take it away, I want to try it."

Li Yuanji stopped the old door official's move, and then twisted his intestines in the old door official's uneasy expression and asked: "Why do you eat this thing? As far as I know, no one in the Tang Dynasty likes to eat this thing. "

The old gate official hesitated for a moment, then stammered: "The minister's nephew opened a soup and pancake shop, and the business was not good, so he became sick with anxiety, and when he went to Chang'an Xinglu for consultation, he met Sun Shenxian.

Immortal Mengsun pointed out, using the large intestine as a guide, supplemented with herbs, and created a new kind of soup cake, which sold well in Chang'an City.

When I came to see Chen yesterday, I brought some large intestines for him. The rest of the family thought it was a dirty thing and refused to eat it, so I brought it into the palace and prepared to eat it alone.

Unexpectedly, I took it by mistake and gave it to you. I hope you will forgive me. "

Although the old gate official used to be Li Yuan's pawn, and with Li Yuan's cover, he was considered number one in the Tang Dynasty, even if he faced the duke and prince, he could save some face.

But when facing Li Yuanji, he was still terrified.

There is no way, but anyone who has experienced the previous Xuanwumen coup, or has learned about the previous Xuanwumen coup, is not afraid of Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji was astonished after listening to the old gate official's words.

According to the old gate official, it was Sun Simiao who instructed to eat the large intestine, and he mixed it into the soup cake and ate it with the soup cake.

Isn't this the early gourd head steamed bun?
If there are some yellow flowers, fungus, and vermicelli, it is probably no different from the gourd head steamed buns of later generations.

But judging from the origin of the gourd-head steamed buns passed down in later generations, it doesn't match at all, does it?
The old door officials dare not lie to him, so the ones who lie to him can only be those who compiled the origin of Hulutou Paomo in later generations.

Although it is different from the truth, it is not bad.

The main character, Sun Simiao, has not changed, and the rest are some unimportant side details.

There is no need to care.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji twisted the large intestine and took a bite. The taste was very good, it was processed very cleanly, and there was no peculiar smell, but the taste was a bit unsatisfactory.

No taste other than salty.

"This thing still needs to be marinated to be delicious."

After taking a bite, Li Yuanji lost interest in the large intestine. After a casual sigh, he began to eat other things.

The large intestine is boiled with water and salt, and it really has no taste.

This thing is most suitable for marinating, stir-frying, or making gourd heads.

While serving in trepidation, the old gate official was a little dazed when he heard the word 'halogen'. After a brief thought, he asked tentatively, "Have you eaten this before?"

Li Yuanji nodded and didn't say much.

Among the meat presented by the old gate official, there are not only large intestines, but also pig heart, pig liver, sheep heart and so on.

This was something he hadn't seen before, and it was something that the old gate officials hadn't presented before.

It seems that the old gate official did not lie, he did take the wrong food, and gave him what he would have eaten.

The old gate official's attention was still on the large intestine, after hearing Li Yuanji's words, he subconsciously said again: "But it's braised?"

Li Yuanji nodded, chewed a piece of pork liver and said, "There are also stir-fried ones..."

The old door official really wanted to ask, how to do it, and where can I learn how to do it, but he didn't say it when the words came to his lips.

He has asked enough questions, and if he asks any more, he will push his limits.

And he didn't have the qualifications to push forward in front of Li Yuanji.

Don't look at how many times Li Yuanji ate his food and behaved very easy-going, he really thought he could ask whatever he wanted.

There is a world of difference in the identities and statuses between the two people.

Any Passover is asking for trouble for oneself.

Li Yuanji saw that the old door official stopped asking questions, so he didn't say anything to the old door official, but concentrated on cooking and eating.

After drinking and eating, a visitor who was serving Li Yuan appeared in the city gate building.

After bowing and saluting, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the sage sent ministers to spread the word that Zhang Liang's son has already learned something, and he will return to Xingyang soon to start a new school."

Li Yuanji was shocked when he heard this.

After Li Yuan took over the matter of opening the elementary school, he said that he would do it at the end of the year. Is he going to do it now?
"What else did my father say?"

Li Yuanji stared at the visitor and asked.

The audience shook his head slowly.

Li Yuanji didn't ask any more questions, and signaled to the audience that they could go down.

After the visitor left, Li Yuanji fell into deep thought.

Li Yuan has already made a move, so the Zheng family's counterattack in Xingyang will be imminent.

Before the Xingyang Zheng family counterattacked, some preparations had to be made.

Although Li Yuan has already taken over the whole matter, he still needs to prepare, otherwise it will be easy for all the plans to go to waste.

Although the Zheng family in Xingyang suffered a great loss in Li Jiancheng's matter and took in all the important figures in the court, they are still a top-notch wealthy family with a very deep foundation, and their relationship with other wealthy families is also very complicated.

So you have to go all out to deal with it.

"It's getting late, I should go too."

Li Yuanji dropped these words and hurried down the city gate.

On the edge of the newly built high platform, I found Li Shentong who was being lazy.

Li Shentong played the role of the black emperor among the five emperors in this Nuo opera festival. He wore a very exaggerated face, so it was easy to find.

"Uncle Wang..."

Li Yuanji ignored it.

Li Shentong, who was taking a nap, was startled, opened his eyes and let out an 'hmm'.

Li Yuanji motioned Li Shentong to find a place to sit down and talk.

Li Shentong looked at a newly erected pillar in the distance.

When the two walked under the pillar, Li Yuanji asked, "Has Uncle Wang seen my father recently?"

The implication is that Li Yuan has not summoned him recently.

Li Shentong shook his head suspiciously and said, "Why are you asking this?"

As soon as Li Yuanji heard this, he knew that Li Yuan hadn't approached Li Shentong recently, nor had he discussed with Li Shentong about dealing with the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Immediately, there was no intention of further talking, and he casually said: "My father has been mysterious recently, I don't know what he is doing, I thought he would tell you."

Li Shentong was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened in astonishment and he said, "What do you mean by that?"

Li Yuanji waved his hands to comfort him: "Uncle Wang, don't be nervous, it's not an important matter."

Li Shentong swallowed his saliva and said, "I hope..."

As Li Yuan, no matter what he did, he didn't need to hide it.

If he starts to cover up, it means that what Li Yuan is doing is so big that it has no limits.

As for such things, he could only think of one or two things.

One of them is to regain the power from his son and regain the power of Datang.

This is not what he wants to see, nor is it what everyone in the ruling and opposition parties want to see.

Because, Datang has already experienced a palace coup, after the coup, the emperor of Datang gradually handed over power, the prince of Datang also became a mascot, the most powerful prince of Datang became a commoner, and The emperor's grandson died, and several princes and uncles died tragically in the palace.

If it happens again, the ending will probably be even more tragic and bloody. This is not what everyone in the ruling and opposition parties wants to see.

So he is very sensitive to this kind of thing, as long as there is such a slight sign, he will be vigilant.

"What I'm saying is true……"

Seeing that Li Shentong seemed to be frightened, Li Yuanji explained dumbfoundingly.

Li Shentong said doubtfully, "It's fine if it's true..."

After saying this, Li Shentong paused and said, "So you came to me specifically because you wanted me to find out for you, what exactly is your father doing?"

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Shentong hurriedly added, "I have to tell you something in advance. I can help you find out, but if your father doesn't let me say anything, I won't say anything."

This is because Li Yuan was frightened and did not dare to do anything against Li Yuan.

Li Yuanji felt a little funny when he heard this.

Who would have thought that Li Shentong, who was majestic in the court, would be so afraid of Li Yuan.

"Uncle Wang is worrying too much. I am not looking for you to inquire about information, but to ask for your help."

"What help?"

Li Shentong asked vigilantly.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "In a short while, someone may step on Zhang Liang's head, and you will be needed to help Zhang Liang at that time."
