Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 14
Tonight's celebration dinner!

It is really rich and a little scary.

Except for Fang Xuanling.

Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao were all shocked.

The table was full, except for a large pot of mutton.

The others are all the most rare vegetables in winter.

Fang Xiang knows where these vegetables come from, but others don't!
One by one moved to tears.

They all thought that His Majesty used the vegetables Wentangjian had prepared all winter for this dinner.

His Majesty is so well-intentioned.

How can they be courtiers not to go through fire and water without hesitation!

Between the monarch and his ministers, let's drink wine and talk happily!
Eat meat and drink in big bowls.

The table was full of vegetables, which were quickly eaten up.

When Li Shimin got up and went out for convenience, the scum on the plate was completely cleaned up.

Li Shimin came back and looked, his eyes turned red.

They were indeed hungry and tired along the way.

"Come here, order the Imperial Dining Room to continue serving dishes, the sooner the better!"

Soon, the table was filled with dishes again by the maids, and there was also a big pot of mutton.

"Five lovers, just eat with your belly open."

"If it's not enough, I'll let the imperial dining room do it."

Li Shimin speaks confidently.

And it is full of confidence.

Of the eight sacks of vegetables that Li Junxian pulled, one sack has not been wiped out yet.

What's more, in a few days, he will go to Lantian County again.

This time, pull all the vegetables.

More importantly, my cheap son knows how to grow vegetables and fruits in winter. Will Li Shimin still lack these fruits and vegetables in the future?

Li Shimin thought with his toes and knew the real answer.

A treasure in the eyes of others is no longer a treasure in Li Shimin's eyes.

Then, Li Shimin naturally became very generous.

The atmosphere of the dinner party became active again as a table of meat dishes continued to be filled.

An hour later.

Everyone was full of wine and food.

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were belching non-stop.

For the behavior of the two, Li Shimin has long been familiar with it.

What is burping after eating?

Li Shimin also listened to Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, snoring while sleeping!

That rascal.

It's a fight with the sound of thunder on a rainy day!
"The five lovers have worked hard all the way. I recently got a piece of tea. This tea has the effect of refreshing the mind, improving eyesight and eliminating fatigue."

"The taste is also very good."

Li Shimin's words revived the five of them.

The tea that His Majesty can praise so much must be good tea.

Fang Xuanling had vaguely guessed the origin of the tea leaves.

However, His Majesty asked him to keep the prince's identity a secret, so the Prime Minister naturally did not dare to disobey His Majesty's will.

"Delu, serve tea!"

Li Shimin gave an order, and Li Delu, the chief servant, immediately walked in with a tray respectfully.

There are teapots and tea cups and other tea utensils in the tray.

Li Delu put the tray on the table and filled six cups of tea in one go.

Fang Xiang's eyes lit up.

Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up.

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong's eyes widened like bull's eyes.

Qin Shubao also gasped.

Six teacups, all steaming.

A burst of fragrance tangled the nostrils, making everyone deeply intoxicated and took a deep breath.

I saw that the tea water was clear and transparent, and under the candlelight, it had a faint golden color.

"Your Majesty, is this tea?"

As calm as Fang Xuanling, it was difficult to keep calm.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"Xuanling, Auxiliary Machine, Respect Virtue, Zhijie, Shubao."

"Come on, how about having a taste of this tea with me?"

Li Shimin personally handed cups of tea to the five people.

Fang Xuanling and the others took the teacup respectfully.

The tangy tea fragrance drilled straight into the nose.

"Five lovers, try it while it's hot. The hotter the tea, the better it tastes. The hotter it is, the more delicious it is."

Li Shimin took the lead and took a sip.

Looking at Li Shimin's intoxicated expression.

Fang Xuanling and the others spoke without hesitation.

"fragrant!"

"It's so fragrant!"

"It's so delicious!"

"........."

Everyone took a sip of tea into their throats, and after the wonderful expressions on their faces, they all opened their mouths to praise.

"It's delicious, drink more."

"The five lovers have worked hard and made great contributions. Although the amount of tea leaves is limited, I, after much deliberation, decided to reward each of the five lovers with twenty tea leaves."

"This pot of tea, Zhen, just put ten tea leaves, and it has such a rich and fragrant taste."

"Delu, deliver the tea wrapped in silk and satin to the five lovers."

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao were completely moved by His Majesty's move.

Looking at the five purses wrapped in fine silk brocade.

The five people's eyes were red. This kind of reward was simply the first time in the world.

A pot of tea was brewed five times.

Each drank a full five cups.

In the end, there is no fragrance of tea leaves, and the color is similar to that of white water.

Everyone stopped drinking tea just now.

"Your Majesty, the vegetables and fruits you ordered are ready."

The voice of Li Delu, the chief servant, made Li Shimin nod with a smile and said.

"Bring it in, one for each of the five lovers."

Fang Xuanling saw Li Delu, the chief servant, carrying a basket full of fruits and vegetables.

Then I knew that His Majesty was going to Lijiazhuang in Lantian County again.

Although they brought quite a lot last time, the sum of the five baskets was as much as a sack.

Besides, after so many days, it is impossible to keep it so fresh.

Think about the tea just now.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help sighing in his heart, this prince who has been left behind by the people is not easy!

Not only does he hold many unworldly things in his hands, but he has made unworldly achievements before setting foot in Chang'an City.

The reason why the traitor Li Yi failed to make waves is entirely due to the prince!

"Five loves, tonight I will reward you with tea, vegetables and fruits. The five loves should not publicize to outsiders. These are items that I rewarded in private. The five loves can taste and enjoy them with their families when they return home .”

"Tomorrow morning, I will reward the five love ministers again. As for Li Yi's rebellion, since Li Yi is dead, I naturally don't want to see them again with his wife and children."

"Li Yi also has a younger brother who is currently holding an important position in Jingzhou. I wonder if the five lovers have any suggestions?"

When Li Shimin's words fell, Changsun Wuji got up first and said.

"Your Majesty, the crime of treason is a serious crime. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the three clans will be punished!"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and looked at Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.

"Xuanling, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and spoke.

"Your Majesty, act in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the world is settled, Li Yi's rebellion, His Majesty can use this to suppress some people's bad intentions."

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin's expression brightened.

"What's the best way for the housekeeper?"
