Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 244 Do you think I won't recognize you if you put pot ashes on it?

The time has entered the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

This is also the season of autumn harvest in the northern land.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching on August [-]th.

The hot weather in Chang'an City finally began to subside.

In the morning and evening, it is obvious to feel a little bit of coolness.

Li Tai and his party finally arrived outside Chang'an City.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the earth.

Outside Mingde's gate, Li Tai, Li Ke, Li You and others appeared.

In the morning, soldiers preparing to open the city gate.

I saw several His Highnesses outside Mingde Gate.

Immediately open the door of Mingde slowly.

Li Tai smiled and nodded.

"Drive...drive..."

Everyone rode their horses and headed straight for Suzaku Gate.

"Auspicious, Ru Yi, Chang'an..."

"Go back to the East Palace first..."

"Uncle Huang, first go to see father and mother, and then go to Xiande Hall to discuss matters."

Ji Xiang, Ru Yi and Chang An nodded.

Escorted by Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, they went straight to the East Palace.

"Father, mother and concubine..."

"Baby... I'm back..."

Li Gen and the princess just finished washing.

Then the voices of five children were heard.

This is like the sound of nature.

The princess's eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Hongxiu and Tianxiang came out of their respective rooms like the wind.

Looking at Jixiang, Ruyi and Ping An.

The five children who were originally soft-skinned and tender-skinned were now tanned.

It is impossible for parents not to feel distressed.

Fortunately, after traveling tens of thousands of miles, he finally returned safely.

Li Gen scanned the five children one by one.

Nodding very satisfied.

"Not bad···"

"Father found you, and your body has become much stronger."

"Talk to your mother and concubine well, father and king are going to attend the court meeting."

"Xuance, Junmai, you've worked hard all the way, change into your clothes, and go to court with me."

Wang Xuance and Xi Jun bought it, and hurriedly changed into brand new official uniforms.

Follow the prince to the left and right, and go straight to the Xiande Hall.

The Legislative Hall was also extremely lively at this time.

The return of Li Tai, Li Ke and Li You.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were so happy that they couldn't hold their tongues from ear to ear.

Looking at the dark and shiny Li Tai.

Li Shimin discovered for the first time that blackness is also a very manly expression.

No wonder Cheng Yaojin, the dog day, is not ashamed, but proud.

"Qingque, where are Chang'an and the others?"

"If you go back to the father, the minister asked them to go back to the East Palace to see the eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"After more than half a year, the children miss their parents very much."

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both smiled and nodded.

"My blue sparrow has become more and more careful, good, great..."

"Brother Ni, you have decided to start conquering the Southern Continent, you guys have to work harder in the future..."

In front of Li Ke and Li You, Li Shimin naturally couldn't say that your eldest brother is ready to hand over the Southern Continent to Qingque's management.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

Even if it is preference, Li Shimin can only secretly prefer it now.

"Royal father, queen mother..."

"My son, go to Xiande Hall first, and report to the eldest brother what you have gained from this trip."

"Also let the civil and military officials take a good look at the magical colors of that magical land in the Southern Continent..."

"Okay, let's go... let's go..."

"After going to court, come back quickly. You guys will accompany the father and the queen to have a meal, and then tell the father and the queen about the magic of that magical land..."

Seeing Li Tai, Li Ke and Li You leaving, Li Shimin had a bright smile on his face.

······
In Xiande Hall.

Because of the return of Li Tai and his party, there was a lot of excitement.

Today's court meeting time is far longer than in the past.

If Li Gen hadn't considered his father and mother, he would definitely have a lot to ask Li Tai, Li Ke and Li You.

The meeting time will definitely be extended until night falls.

Today, Li Tai has thoroughly demonstrated his talent and eloquence.

Provoked Li Gen to nod in approval frequently.

Civil and military officials were brought into a novel world by Li Tai.

Sometimes scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, sometimes his eyes glowed with gold.

Sometimes salivating, sometimes gasping...

All in all, all in all.

There are hundreds of people with hundreds of faces, and everyone is extremely excited.

There is such a large piece of treasure land tens of thousands of miles away.

The glazed ball brought by His Royal Highness King Wei was easily exchanged for inexhaustible gold.

Everyone has a common idea.

The people here are stupid and rich, come quickly...
No, it should be going quickly.

Li Gen was very satisfied with Li Tai's speech.

Looking at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone was very excited. This is exactly the result Li Gen wanted.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu opened two sacks in Xiande Hall.

The golden corn and plump sunflower seeds inside are exposed.

call!
call!
Everyone gasped with excitement.

All the people in the court are their own courtiers.

Naturally, Li Gen would not be too stingy.

After ordering someone to fetch the tools.

Li Gen was in Xiande Hall, starting the mode of frying melon seeds.

When in Xiande Hall, the fragrance began to fill the air.

Everyone swallowed hard.

The saliva of Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Xue Rengui and others drooped.

Soon, a pot of hot fresh fried melon seeds came out.

The Hall of Xiande opened the mode of eating melon seeds.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin grabbed a handful and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Smell, it's really fragrant..."

The feeling of mouth full of fragrance is really not too refreshing.

Li Gen looked at the two ministers, looking hopeless, and really wanted to fly over.

"Melon seed shells, you can also eat, the teeth are really good..."

Li Gen's words made the officials who were about to follow suit immediately shut up.

From this point of view, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin's way of eating is wrong.

Li Tai, Li Ke and Li You all laughed, even Li Chunfeng, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai couldn't help laughing.

When they saw sunflowers for the first time, it was when the sunflower seeds inside the sunflowers were ripe.

Li Tai and others didn't know how to eat this thing at the time.

Li Tai regretted it at the time, why didn't he ask brother clearly how to eat the sunflower seeds.

It was Shuwan and Shulin who had an idea, and took out a sunflower seed and put it in their mouths.

The skin is very astringent and the meat is very fragrant.

The words of Shuwan and Shulin made Li Tai instantly think of shelling and eating.

It's just that I didn't expect that after the sunflower seeds were cooked, they would be so delicious.

Li Tai's skilful appearance of eating melon seeds made Li Gen nod with a smile.

It seems that this kid has been buzzing a lot along the way.

Under the demonstration of His Royal Highness King Wei, the officials understood how to eat melon seeds.

"Your Highness, this thing is so precious, it was His Royal Highness Wei Wang, Wu Wang and Qi Wang who traveled thousands of miles to bring it back to Tang Dynasty, so it should be kept as a seed..."

Among the officials, many people offered courtesy and advice.

Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.

"The heart of all ministers can be learned from the sun and the moon."

"There are plenty of seeds, you don't need to worry too much."

At this time, Li Tai said that the sunflower seeds he had brought back were worth dozens of carriages.

And they will go to that magical land again in the future, everyone is completely relieved.

Everyone happily ate melon seeds.

On the land of Huaxia, the first large-scale mode of eating melon seeds officially opened in the most sacred and solemn place in the Tang Dynasty, the Xiande Hall.

"My lords, the taste of this corn is also very delicious. Tomorrow, because the process is relatively cumbersome, tomorrow, the palace will give the ground cornmeal to all your lords to taste."

"This autumn is coming to an end, and next spring will be planted. I want to let Datang's land start planting corn and sunflowers."

"Some places are suitable for spring planting, and some places are suitable for summer sowing. The yield varies from place to place..."

"Today, King Wei, King Wu and King Qi traveled tens of thousands of miles to return to Chang'an City. Father and Queen are also very concerned about the three of them."

"Today's court meeting is over for the time being. Tomorrow, my palace will discuss with the ministers about the country's major affairs..."

"Your Majesty, please follow His Highness's instructions."

All the ministers bowed respectfully and left.

Li Gen stood up from the dragon chair.

Lead Li Tai, Li Ke and Li You, and go straight to the Lizheng Palace.

When I left, I brought the last pot of fried sunflower seeds.

In the Legislative Hall.

Although Li Shimin and Empress Changsun waited anxiously.

But the two of them also knew that it would be fine for them to wait a little longer compared to the important affairs of the country.

After all, the affairs of the court are fundamental.

"Royal father, queen mother..."

"My son, I kept you waiting..."

"This is Erchen, just fried sunflower seeds, still warm!"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun nodded with a smile.

Sunflower seeds, I can finally taste them again.

Last time Li Junxian brought back too little, not enough to fit between his teeth.

It is really these melon seeds, the more you eat, the more addictive you become.

Once you catch it, you can't stop at all.

Prepare food and wine in the imperial dining room.

The servants and maids of honor brought delicious food and wine together and sent them to the Lizheng Hall.

"Come here, go and invite the Crown Princess, Jixiang Ruyi, and Chang'an. Pass on to King Jin..."

"By the way, go pass on my Changle, and ask her to bring Xiao Xinyue and come here together."

Li Shimin's preference for Princess Changle can be seen from this.

Among the many princesses, only Princess Changle was summoned.

Li Tai asked curiously.

"Royal father, queen mother..."

"Where's Sister Xizi?"

Li Tai wondered, Sizi is also the heart of the father and mother.

Why not send Sizi to come?
"Qingque, you went to the Southern Continent, so you don't know anything about it."

"Sizi took the exam of Datang Medical College and ranked first."

"Now I'm studying medicine in medical school, and Sun Zhenzhen personally taught my son."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun had expressions of pride and pride on their faces at this time.

After all, not long ago, Sun Zhenren came here in person and praised Princess Jinyang as a genius who has studied medicine through the ages.

At that time, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were so excited that it was impossible to describe in words.

Fortunately, they followed the prince's suggestion, allowing Sizi to enter the medical school to study medicine.

"Father, queen mother, my son is going to study medicine. It's really great."

"It is a blessing for the people of Datang to have a medical school!"

"In the future, many doctors will be needed in the vast land of the Southern Continent. This will solve the shortage of doctors."

"It must be Big Brother's idea!"

"I am afraid that the eldest brother is the first to invite Sun Zhenren here."

Li Tai's words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun smile and nod.

"Qingque, your guess is good. It is indeed your elder brother's idea, and you can think of opening a medical school to solve the current situation of lack of doctors in the Southern Continent."

"Qingque can be said to think long-term."

"Father is very pleased, very pleased..."

Li Shimin is now more and more satisfied with Li Tai's performance.

From the looks of it now, Li Tai does have the ability to govern.

"Father, queen mother... Qingque has been gone for more than half a year."

"Why don't you send someone to bring Sizi over? Every time Sizi returns to the palace, he will ask Brother Qingque when he will be back?"

"Sizi misses her brother Qingque very much!"

When Li Gen's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"Good, great good..."

"Li Junxian, go to the medical school immediately and bring my Princess Jinyang..."

When the little Sizi was envied by Li Jun, he hurriedly took him back to the palace.

In the Lizheng Palace, there is a scene of joy and harmony.

"Son, please greet Father Emperor and Queen Mother."

The little sizi stepped into the Lizheng Hall, and the Lizheng Hall, which was originally full of voices, became quiet in an instant.

The little son greeted his father and queen mother respectfully, causing Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen to nod in satisfaction.

However, next, the style of painting changed instantly.

"Brother Qingque... why did you smear pot ashes on your face?"

"Do you think Sizi won't recognize you if you put pot ashes on it?"

Little Si, a pair of beautiful big eyes staring round.

That surprised look.

All the people in the Lizheng Hall burst into laughter.

Even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't hold back.

Jixiang Ruyi, Chang'an, and Xiao Xinyue were even more out of breath from laughing.

Li Tai was embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his little sister appeared on the stage, the Lizheng Palace became so happy.

And this joy is based on his own face, which was mistakenly thought to be dusted.

"Auntie, you have misunderstood the emperor..."

"Uncle Huang's face is innocent, and he hasn't wiped the ashes from the pot."

Fortunately, Li Ru and Li Yi stood up and proved for Li Tai.

After some explanation, it turns out that it was tanned by the sun.

Because Li Ru and Li Yi's skin was originally fair, their faces were also slightly dark.

Sizi felt very embarrassed to make such an oolong.

A small face flushed instantly.

"Brother Qingque, you must have suffered a lot in the past six months!"

"It's really distressing to be dark and thin now..."

Hey!
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun all stared at Sizi with wide eyes.

From geometry!

Sizi also started to grow up.

Know how to be considerate and caring.

"Si, although my brother has suffered a lot, what he has gained is definitely more than what he has given."

"This trip to the Southern Continent brought back many species that have never existed in the land of the Tang Dynasty."

"Sizi, come, have a taste of these delicious and fragrant sunflower seeds!"

"Remember to peel the skin before eating!"

Li Tai grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Sizi's hand.

"Well, it's so fragrant and delicious!"

After eating a melon seed, Xiao Sizi's eyes narrowed!
No one would dislike such a mouth-watering fragrance.

"Brother Qingque, there is an important species, have you ever found it?"

Xiao Sizi remembered what his elder brother said, and suddenly his eyes sparkled.

Staring at Li Tai, he asked.

"What is it important?"

"Brother Qingque, brother Qingque, brought all the species that the elder brother explained."

After hearing what Brother Qingque said, Xiao Sizi spoke with sparkling eyes.

"Brother Qingque, did you bring the tears of the rubber tree?"

From the elder brother's mouth, Sizi learned about the many uses of rubber.

Especially for the medical field, there will be a sea-shaking change.

Even Sun Zhenren heard that many medical facilities and equipment can be made of rubber, and he couldn't forget it!
