Chapter 68: Censoring Extravagance
"What other orders does Your Majesty have?"

Qin Huaiyu asked.

He bet that Li Shimin suddenly interrupted him to cause trouble for him.

"If you write now, your efforts must not be in vain."

"Now that I have put pen to paper, I must write a new poem."

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back, thought for a moment, and then said: "How about we use 'Business in Farming' as the title?"

"Your Majesty's words are very good."

Cheng Yaojin responded.

"Why are you just joining in the fun?" Yuchi Gong pulled Cheng Yaojin aside: "You can't write poetry."

"I, Lao Cheng, have also read books and are educated, okay?"

Cheng Yaojin glared at Yuchi Gong and said loudly.

"Then you will compose a poem?" Yu Chigong opened his mouth and smiled, extending his hand in a "please" gesture.

"Um……"

Cheng Yaojin hummed, thought for a long time, looked at Qin Huaiyu's eyes, and said hurriedly: "Now is the time when my eldest nephew is composing poems. I, Old Cheng, can't steal the limelight from my eldest nephew."

"Let the young people show off first."

With that said, Cheng Yaojin retreated to the edge of the table and started eating again with his chopsticks flying.

Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others did not go, but waited for Qin Huaiyu's answer.

At their level, food and drink are actually not that tempting anymore.

"How about it, great talent of Qin, is this not a problem?" Li Shimin started his clumsy method of provoking the general again.

"Row."

Qin Huaiyu nodded.

He raised his hand and started writing quickly. Different from the straightforward style before, Qin Huaiyu was full of a free and wild attitude this time.

After finishing his writing, before Qin Huaiyu could react, the old man Kong Yingda snatched Qin Huaiyu's poem away.

That speed puts young people to shame.

"I said, Mr. Kong, you have to let us see it first before talking about it, right?"

Wei Zheng said dissatisfied.

His position is exactly the opposite, and it is difficult to see what Qin Huaiyu wrote.

But from his point of view, Qin Huaiyu's unbridled handwriting is undoubtedly wild and beautiful!

Li Shimin didn't say anything, but the way he looked at Kong Yingda meant the same thing.

Kong Yingda smiled coquettishly, like a child, and said, "Instinct reaction, sorry for that, haha."

As he spoke, Kong Yingda carefully placed Qin Huaiyu's work back on the table and unfolded it gently, as if he was afraid of damaging it.

"At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drips down to the soil."

"A mediocre beginning."

Li Shimin shook his head.

"But this Xiaque is the essence."

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw it: "Who knew that every meal on the plate is hard work?"

"After all, food is so hard-earned."

"I should lead by example."

Li Shimin's expression also became serious.

"Luxury cannot last forever."

"I am thinking deeply and can't help myself. The expenses in the palace are still a bit extravagant."

"Mr. Guanyin, after returning to the palace, you should deal with this matter."

"Yes." Queen Changsun nodded in praise.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Several people bowed to compliment him.

"why do not you talk?"

Li Shimin gave Qin Huaiyu a slap in the face.

You kid is really going against me, right?
"To be honest, I don't agree with it."

Qin Huaiyu spread his hands.

"Why, do you think that by putting an end to extravagance, your boy will not be able to live a good life?"

Li Shimin smiled sarcastically.He knew that this kid was usually very lazy and quite enjoyed himself.

Promoting frugality is simply more uncomfortable for this kid than killing him.

"That's not it."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head: "To me, there is no difference between the poor and the poor and the rich."

"But, in fact, Your Majesty, if you do this, it seems to be of no use except to impress yourself, right?"

"That's nonsense!" Wei Zheng angrily yelled, "What goes up and what goes up works. Your Majesty leads by example. How could it not work!"

"Is there a problem?"

Qin Huaiyu said calmly: "The so-called poor in literature and rich in martial arts, why?"

"Isn't it just because wealthy people eat well that their physical fitness improves faster?"

"Similarly, if you want to be stronger, you must eat and drink well!"

"Worst of all, eating meat is indispensable."

Speaking of this, Qin Huaiyu picked up a vegetable leaf from the plate.

"The reason why we Tang people are not as strong as those Turks is largely due to the fact that they drink milk and eat meat all year round."

"It's a pity, but people in the Tang Dynasty can have some vegetables in spring and summer, except in autumn and winter, white rice with pickles, which is [-]% standard, right?"

“You can’t even eat a meal of meat during the holidays, and this is the result.”

With that said, Qin Huaiyu strode to Wei Zheng's side.

He stretched out his hand and lifted it gently, and the slightly thin old man was suddenly lifted high by Qin Huaiyu.

"Old Wei, you are too light."

Qin Huaiyu said dissatisfied.

"Huaiyu, put Master Wei down quickly!" Qin Qiong said quickly.

"Oh."

Qin Huaiyu put Wei Zheng down.

Wei Zheng was very calm and simply tidied up his somewhat messy clothes without any trace of panic.

"But what's the use of all this?" Wei Zheng still didn't understand.

"Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer from their minds and wills, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Therefore, they must be motivated to endure and strengthen what they cannot."

Wei Zheng started to make nonsense again.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Qin Huaiyu quickly stopped.

"I'm not going to bullshit you, just tell me if you often get sick!"

"How do you know?" Wei Zheng was stunned.

"This guy knows some medical skills."

Li Shimin on the side said: "If it weren't for this guy's simple and crude treatment method, Li Jing's daughter might have died in the Turks."

Qin Huaiyu smiled: "You are so vain. A minor illness or disaster can make you miserable. Once a serious illness occurs, you may die on the spot."

"But this..."

"you see me!"

Qin Huaiyu patted his chest. Even through his clothes, the dull sound of those strong muscles could make people feel how strong they were.

"I haven't been sick in more than ten years, so I'm not afraid at all."

Wei Zheng realized something.

"So you want to persuade me not to curb extravagance?"

Li Shimin asked back.

"It's not about not making corrections, it's about making corrections with a purpose."

"You've just cut everything off right now. Can those people listen to you?"

"At that time, if these people follow orders on the surface, won't they still be doing what they are supposed to do behind the scenes?"

"Maybe I'm still calling you a fool behind your back."

"Shut up!" Li Shimin glared at Qin Huaiyu with his face flushed.

This bastard boy, why does he talk so irritatingly!

However, what he said was not unreasonable.

Li Shimin began to think about ways to combat corruption and extravagance.
