Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Old Li's eyes flashed brightly, and then he said with a smile,

"It seems that the shopkeeper is optimistic about the current saint, and I hope so too. The world has been in chaos for so many years, and it is time to enjoy peace!"

Zhang Nuo nodded as a matter of course, even if he didn't learn the history very well in his previous life, he still knew about the rule of Zhenguan. How could it be a joke that even the prosperous Tang style that later generations praised after a thousand years?

Seeing that Zhang Nuo didn't say much, Old Li also knew that it was the first time he met, and talking about the royal family was a bit familiar, so he changed his tone and talked about the customs and customs of Chang'an City and his interesting stories of traveling south and north.

Although Zhang Nuo is less than [-] years old at the moment, but what kind of jokes he has never seen in his previous life, what kind of unpopular knowledge he has never heard of, and has contacts with Lao Li, but the chat is in full swing.

The two exchanged cups and drank while eating, and the meal ended after more than half an hour.

Unfinished, Old Li took out two pieces of money from his purse and put it on the table.

Zhang Nuo naturally nodded and agreed, but he sighed in his heart that he was a wealthy family, and this was just a month or two of ordinary people's expenses.

Lao Li went out on the front foot, and got on a carriage without an emblem on the back foot.

Old Li, who was sitting on the seat, didn't have the slightest smile in the tavern at this moment. He said in a deep voice with a face like water and eyes full of electricity,

"Back to the palace!"

The driver driving in front, even through the curtain, bowed earnestly and replied,

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lao Li, or in other words, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was sitting in the rickety carriage, thinking about Zhang Nuo's evaluation of himself today, and after reliving today's food and wine, he suddenly felt that perhaps this humble tavern, Really need to go a few times!

Chapter 2 The promise of a thousand gold

Li Shimin sat staggeringly in the carriage on his way back to the palace, because the curtains of the carriage were closed, so the whole carriage looked extraordinarily dark.

At this moment, Li Shimin was reminiscing about the delicious taste just now, and sometimes thinking about the small wine he was drinking today.

Suddenly, Li Shimin's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and he said in a deep voice,

"Xingben, you look up the shopkeeper of the restaurant today, I have already left now, but I still think about the food, I am worried about cheating!"

The driver sitting outside whispered to the person next to him, but did not answer directly. Instead, he lifted the curtain of the car and entered the carriage. He approached Li Shimin and said in a low voice,

"Your Majesty, the little acquaintance of the shopkeeper can be regarded as a child of our old Qin Wangfu. The house was actually given to you back then by your Majesty!"

When he heard that it was a child from the Old Qin Palace, Li Shimin's originally frowning brows relaxed unconsciously, and asked with a smile,

"Which kid is this? Could it be that he was born in the Huotou Army, and this skill is enough to be a royal chef in the palace!"

Li Shimin is so confident that the mansion of the Prince of Qin back then was a stronghold built by him that was impervious to water and impregnable. If he could be rewarded with the role of the mansion, he must be a man of merit, so it was absolutely impossible to harm him.

The coachman named Xingben is also an old man who has been with Li Shimin for many years, and he is outside the palace again, so it is rare in private to relax a little.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the old Zhang who drove the car for you back then? He was the one who secretly gave you a drink and finally got his leg broken by the Emperor Taishang!"

Li Shimin suddenly realized, remembering that when Xingben was not by his side, wasn't Lao Zhang his driver.

At that time, he was still young. Although he was the king of Qin, and his subordinates were like clouds, he conquered the great Tang Dynasty, but in Li Yuan's eyes he was still a child, and he was very strict with him.

The brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had already hindered him a lot at that time, which made him often annoyed.

Lao Zhang is usually a personal guard and drives a car in his spare time. Naturally, he is a rare self-confessed person around Li Shimin. Seeing that he is bored, he secretly finds a few bottles of spirits, and then comes with a few side dishes.

But I never thought that Li Yuan didn't know what was going on, and on a whim, he wanted to come to Qin Wang's mansion for a walk, and just happened to catch up with such an event.

The fire at the city gate brought disaster to Chiyu. At that time, Li Shimin didn't dare to stab Li Yuan, and watched Lao Zhang get thrown out of the house with a broken leg.

He also remembered it now, and it seemed that he had explained it to someone to secretly send a house deed and some money, and he didn't even dare to visit, so as not to offend Li Yuan.

It never occurred to him that he was already the son of the emperor, and the son of a deceased man and an old friend was so busy in the kitchen, which made him somewhat ashamed.

Li Shimin asks himself that he never owes any meritorious servants, but at this moment he thinks of Lao Zhang, who was driving the car back then. He had been by his side since he was a child, and after that, when he went into battle, he protected him thoroughly and took good care of him in private. The caring people of life.

Not to mention that he had suffered for him, but he gave some money and ignored it. The thought of it made his face hot, and he hurriedly asked about the current situation of Xingben Lao Zhang.

Xingben was also sighed, sighed and replied,

"Old Zhang was kicked out of the mansion, so he went home to recover from his injuries. Later, we old brothers secretly went to see it a few times and wanted to help, but we were rejected by Lao Zhang!"

"You gave Lao Zhang that house, and Lao Zhang never lived in it. Last year, Lao Zhang and his wife were seriously ill at the same time, and that kid in his family went bankrupt to treat his father and mother. In the end, the old house was sold, but he couldn't get it back. In the end, we moved to the present house.”

"It is estimated that he is also poor. Forced to make a living, the old Zhang family opened a small restaurant. It is more than a living, and he can't starve to death."

Xingben shut up after speaking, but Li Shimin didn't speak for a long time.

He could think of Lao Zhang as a person. Lao Zhang was the old guard who followed him when Taiyuan raised the army. He usually talks funny and goes into battle, but he dares to fight and kill.

At that time, he also wanted to give Lao Zhang an official promotion, but Lao Zhang refused on the grounds that he was not good at martial arts, and he was only a personal guard in the end.

With this thought, more and more memories came flooding back.

No wonder he saw a word on the wall in the store before that looked familiar. Isn't that because he wrote it when he was still the chief executive, when his pen power was young, and the name was written by Li Er.

Thinking about how he carelessly wrote the words "Lao Zhang is great" in the study back then, he would give it to Lao Zhang if he begged for nothing, and he also promised that high officials and wealth would be indispensable in the future. At this moment, Li Shimin can't wait to dig a hole in the ground right now. go in.

But the emperor is the emperor. Li Shimin did make a mistake himself, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. It was not his fault.

Old Zhang was by his side earlier than those in the court now, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and others, and he has been in close contact with these high-ranking officials and generals since then.

Don't these people want to help?At that time, they were good brothers who fought together in life and death. Could it be that they looked at people differently when they made a fortune?

As soon as Li Shimin's question was raised, Xingben replied with a wry smile,
