I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 470 Fried Phoenix Eggs, Burning the Dragon King!
Squeak.

Pharmacist Hui Ri pushed open the door with his head down, and was about to salute, but saw a black shadow rushing up.

"Yaoshi-jun! Come and taste it, this fish cake is very delicious!"

Inuami Mikichi, chewing raw fish in his mouth, said enthusiastically,
"With this mustard sauce, it is really a must! I will have excellent food in Dongying!"

As he spoke, he turned around and picked up a piece of fish, rolled it with three layers of mustard sauce, and stuffed it into the mouth of Pharmacist Huiri.

"I'm not in the mood...uh..."

Yakushi Hui Japan wanted to refuse, but was stuffed into his mouth and forced to taste a mouthful of fish.

"vomit--"

In the next second, he was about to vomit.

"Don't spit, don't spit! Taste slowly!" Inugami Mikichi said anxiously, "This is a delicacy!"

Gudong.

Pharmacist Huiri's throat twitched, he swallowed the fish fillet with difficulty, waved his hands again and again and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, I can't get used to this..."

He just felt a disgusting taste in his mouth...

"Hey! You have no luck!" Quanshang Sanri looked at it and shook his head, looking extremely regretful.

"Mr. Medicine Master, what's wrong with you?"

Haogong Qianhe took a sip of tea and asked softly,
"Did you encounter any setbacks in buying books?"

Pharmacist Hui Ri shook his head with a wry smile.

"The purchase of books went smoothly. As soon as Princess Qianhe asked for a lot of money to buy books, there was an endless stream of people from Tang Dynasty who came to sell books."

He reports,

"Not only ordinary Tang people, but even those high-ranking officials and nobles, and even the princes came to sell books! Among them is Li Tai, the eldest son of the Tang Emperor who is very beloved by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

When Haogong Qianhe heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he even sat up straighter with his body.

"All the princes come to sell books?" She asked in surprise, "Could it be that he is also short of money?"

"My subordinates don't know, but the books sold by the King of Wei are all rare and rare books, and they are indeed very expensive."

Pharmacist Hui Ri said helplessly,
"One of his books is worth ten for an ordinary person! The subordinates didn't want to charge more, but he is the prince after all, how dare he shame him?"

Inuami Mikichishi stuffed his mouth full and mumbled indistinctly:

"Of course we have to accept everything! That's King Wei! We accepted the prince's book, and it will be a good story to spread!"

Hao Gong Qianhe glanced at him.

"Don't eat it!"

Inugami Mikichi's expression froze, he put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and carefully chewed what was left in his mouth.

"It should be charged in full, no matter how much it is."

Haogong Qianhe said seriously,
"This is the first time for us to come to Datang. Regardless of whether the goal can be achieved or not, the reputation must be good. This is the foundation of Dongying's future development in Datang."

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains that a thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone. Now everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that Princess Dongying loves books and is willing to spend a lot of money to buy books. This will make me famous in Tang Dynasty."

"If you want to do something in Datang in the future, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Princess Qianhe has a good opinion," the two envoys nodded and clapped their hands.

"Mr. Medicine Master, how much is the book sold by King Wei worth?"

Haogong Qianhe asked again,
"What categories are there?"

"Most of them are isolated and rare books of Buddhist scriptures, and many of them were handed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, worth a hundred taels of gold." Pharmacist Hui Ri reported, "There are also some books on geography and water conservancy in the Tang Dynasty, which are also rare books, worth tens of dollars." Two gold."

Haogong Qianhe: "..."

"Buddhist scriptures... Datang Geography and Water Conservancy..."

She supported her forehead, thought hard for a while, and couldn't help but sigh softly,

"It sounds like it's not beneficial to Japan."

"Forget it. I don't have a Buddha in Japan. It is a good thing to be able to listen to Buddhism. Buddhism has been spread in the Central Plains for so long, and there are so many believers. There must be some merits."

"As for the geography and water conservancy of the Tang Dynasty...it can also be brought back to Dongying for research, and can also be used as a reference."

"Take it!"

"Let's not talk about King Wei, how have you been fighting these days? What books have you collected?"

After much deliberation, I can only use this explanation to comfort myself in the end.

Useful, as long as it is a book, it is useful!
"Your subordinates have already registered and compiled the book, Princess Qianhe please read it."

Pharmacist Hui Ri offered the book in his hands with both hands, and said in a deep voice,

"Chang'an is worthy of being the capital of the Great Tang Dynasty, the most good place. The books here are not comparable to the books collected along the way. Apart from the high price, there are no other shortcomings."

"You did a good job. You are reliable in your work." Hao Gong Qianhe opened the book, looked at the neat catalog, couldn't help but praise, and then said, "Such delicate things as making catalogs, Inuami You may not be able to do it."

Inukami Mikichi swallowed the fish cake in his mouth, and smiled awkwardly.

"Thank you princess for your compliment, this is what your subordinates should do."

Pharmacist Hui Ri responded humbly, and then said,

"In the Tang Dynasty, some classic books were handed down from generation to generation, such as "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "The Analects of Confucius", "Book of Changes", etc. There are nine books in total, called "Four Books and Five Classics". The wisdom of thousands of years is the essence and the foundation of the civilization of the Central Plains."

Haogong Qianhe's eyes were bright.

"What you want is the essence!" she muttered softly, "what you want is its foundation!"

"In addition, there are works of various schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as "Tao Te Ching", "Nan Hua Jing", "Han Fei Zi", etc., which are also the crystallization of the wisdom of the sages of the Central Plains."

Pharmacist Hui Ri said again,

"The royal family of Li and Tang recognized the founder of Taoism 'Lao Tzu' as the holy ancestor, so the Tang Dynasty worshiped Taoism, and there were many Taoist classics in Chang'an."

Haogong Qianhe nodded.

"There is a Buddha, and there is a Tao, you can see both, that's right."

She nodded and said,

"These classics are indeed the crystallization of wisdom, but they alone are not enough. The prosperity of the Central Plains depends on more than just this."

"We came all the way to Chang'an. Datang's agriculture, medicine, tools and equipment, astronomy and calendar, architecture, etc. are far from what I can compare with Dongying. The only thing we can compare with Datang is the shipbuilding industry, but we When you landed in Datang from Dengzhou, you also saw that the people of Tang were casting a huge sea-going ship, if the ship was built, our shipbuilding industry in Dongying would not be worth mentioning."

Pharmacist Huiri and Inukami Mikichi both had serious expressions on their faces, and nodded solemnly.

"So, what we need to learn most is the thing that can greatly enhance our national power in Japan, and that is the various technologies of Datang!"

Haogong Qianhe clenched his fists and said seriously,

"If I can obtain books on medicine, agriculture, architecture, astronomy, etc., and bring them back to Japan for study, even if I can't learn all of them, learning five points from them will be enough to make Japan prosperous and strong!"

"These books, go and collect them! Even if it costs a lot of money, I won't hesitate!"

Culture is soft power, and Japan also lacks it, but it is not absolutely necessary.

Technology is hard power!It is what Dongying lacks the most and wants most urgently!
"Princess Qianhe is absolutely right! This subordinate understands!"

Pharmacist Hui Ri bowed and said solemnly,

"There is not much money left, so we can't waste it anymore. From now on, my subordinates will focus on collecting books on various agricultural and medical books, and use all the gold and silver on these key points!"

Haogong Qianhe was taken aback.

"How much more?" she asked.

"My subordinates have collected some of the books that Princess Qianhe mentioned, but not many. The gold they brought now is less than [-]%."

Pharmacist Huiri said with some shame,

"It's true that the Tang people are too enthusiastic about selling books, and it's hard for subordinates to refuse, so they can only accept everything."

"Some of them are repetitive..."

After hearing these words, Hao Gong Qianhe felt a little heavy.

"Money... I knew I should have prepared more."

she sighed,

"When I came here, I thought that bringing ten thousand taels of gold would be enough to cover everything, but now it seems that the money is not enough at all."

"There are too many places where money is needed. Buying books is a huge sum. Even if you give up making friends with ministers, the emperor still has a hurdle to overcome..."

Although Dongpu is short of supplies, it is still a large country. As a princess, she has never been short of money.

But at this moment, she deeply felt the anxiety of not having money.

"Yes……"

Pharmacist Hui Ri's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice,
"Just now Lu Shaoqing sent a message that the Ministry of Education rejected our request. It should be impossible to have an audience with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty through Honglu Temple."

Haogong Qianhe frowned again.

"Why did the Ministry of Education reject it?"

The dog refused to accept it for three days,
"Princess Qianhe personally led the team here. Could it be that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't pay much attention to it?"

"I also said this, but Lu Shaoqing said that Princess Qianhe is not visiting as an envoy, so it can't be counted; even if it is counted, at most the prince will be sent to meet, this is called diplomatic reciprocity." Pharmacist Hui Ri spread his hands, helplessly Said, "So... there is no way."

"This..." Inukami Mikichizuki wanted to say more, but Hao Gong Qianhe waved his hand.

"There is no need to argue any more. Since this road is impassable, we can only go through Xu Fenglei."

she mused,

"Without the "Sangluan Tie", we are short of gold and silver, what treasure should we look for?"

"Li Shimin...do you have any hobbies?"

Pharmacist Hui Ri frowned slightly.

"Princess Qianhe, my subordinates have heard that Li Shimin likes good horses."

he said,

"No matter what breed, as long as it is a good horse, he likes it!"

"There is another point, that is, liking beautiful women... Uh, this is a common problem among men, but I have heard from the public that this Li Shimin even brought his brother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law into the harem..."

Hearing this, Haogong Qianhe touched his chin.

"It turns out that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has such a hobby, which is interesting."

She hooked her fingers and said softly,

"Look at me, am I a beauty?"

Pharmacist Huiri glanced up subconsciously, but saw Haogong Qianhe's bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, just looking at him straight...

In my heart, there was a sudden sway.Immediately, he lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

"Princess Qianhe is naturally a beauty, an absolute beauty! The charm is infinite!"

He continued,
"In the entire Dongying, even in the Tang Dynasty, there may not be anyone who can compare with you, the princess!"

Haogong Qianhe took a bronze mirror casually, stared at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help chuckling.

"Even if she is a beauty, what's the use? You can't even see her face, so how can you use her charm?"

She glanced at it twice, then threw the bronze mirror aside, and said,
"Let's pay a visit to famous horses. No matter what, I want to meet Li Shimin."

"Mr. Dog."

"The subordinate is here." Inugami Sankichi said and cupped his hands.

"An ordinary horse can't get into the eyes of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You go to the West Market to make money these few days, communicate with those Hu merchants, and ask if there are any good horses."

Haogong Qianhe ordered,
"If you have a famous horse, don't be stingy with your money, buy it with a lot of money!"

She wants to use a famous horse to open the gate of the imperial palace, and then use a beautiful woman to knock on the door of Emperor Tang's heart!
"Yes, princess."

……

a few days later.

Tai Chi Palace, Queen's bedroom.

Under Xu Fenglei's careful teaching, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others have made great progress in their culinary skills. Although they can't cook any big dishes, they can eat scrambled eggs and roasted cabbage.

"Queen, try my little scrambled phoenix eggs!"

Li Tai brought a plate of hot dishes with a proud face, and sent it to the eldest grandson Wugou.

"Mother, stepmother, my son, this stewed fairy grass is a must. If you taste it, you will live forever!"

"Empress Mother, Emperor Father, what the child wants to offer is this burning dragon king, it's a shame..."

The three children presented their masterpieces one after another, making Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wugou dumbfounded.

"I'm afraid of eggs, but return phoenix eggs! How can you be so good at bragging!"

Li Shimin scolded with a smile,

"Immortal Grass? This obviously requires bean sprouts!"

"And this Fire Dragon King... Lizhi, who taught you to choose this name? You are too arrogant! Isn't it just braised shrimp!"

"Who did you all learn your names from?"

Swish swish.

Three eyes looked at Xu Fenglei behind him.

"cough……"

Xu Fenglei smiled awkwardly and said,
"The name of the dish...is just a gimmick. I think it's pretty good. It's an unaffordable royal dish!"

Those restaurants in later generations want to sell their dishes expensively, so they all name them like this!

No matter how the dishes are, first scare the guests away!

"Come on, you! I am the real dragon emperor, you burn the dragon king, you want to burn all my kind to death!"

Li Shimin stared and said,

"Re-submit the name of the dish!"

Xu Fenglei coughed twice and pushed the three children in front of him.

"Father, mother, these are scrambled eggs made by my child..."

"This is my baby's fried bean sprouts..."

“Braised river prawns…”

As soon as the name of this dish is announced, it will be over in one click.

"It's gaudy..." Li Shimin snorted softly, then picked up his chopsticks, handed a pair of chopsticks to his grandson Wugou, and said, "Try it! It probably won't be too delicious, so it's not good for the appearance!"

As an emperor, he was used to delicately arranged dishes from the imperial kitchen, so he naturally couldn't see these three messy dishes.

Of course, this is also a vaccination for the wife.

After all, I vomited last time...

"I think those dish names are quite interesting."

The eldest grandson Wugou said with a smile,
"As for the taste...it must be sweet."

"Because these are dishes made by the children themselves, I feel very sweet for my mother..."

When the three children heard this, they all showed bright smiles, and ran to their mother's side, begging for a hug.

The eldest grandson Wugou stroked their heads and said lovingly:

"Okay, okay, let me taste it for my mother?"

"Well... let's try the Burning Dragon King first. In fact, sometimes, I really want to burn your father, ha..."

When she was amused, everyone laughed.

Even Li Shimin, who was buried, laughed, with love in his eyes.

In front of him was his favorite woman, and the three filial children born to him by this woman.

If you have a wife like this, and you have a son like this, what more can a husband ask for?
