Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

In the kitchen,

Li Junxian was burning fire under the stove, looking at Li Nian with a pair of sneaky eyes.

Although he knew that the royal family's affairs were beyond his reach, anyone who heard such a shocking piece of news would be unable to suppress their curiosity.

He squatted under the stove, his heart was like a cat's claws, and he finally couldn't help but ask:

"Young Master, I have followed the Master for many years, but I have never heard him mention Young Master."

"May I ask, when did you recognize your relatives?"

Li Nian said casually while busying himself:

"Oh, this happened not long ago"

"That day, my godmother came to Beijing to live with her relatives. She couldn't find a place to stay, so she stayed in my small courtyard."

"My godmother and I hit it off right away, and she adopted me as her adopted son"

"I just heard that my godfather was a minor official in the court. I have never seen him before. I just met him today."

"......"

After a conversation, Li Junxian gradually understood.

"This kid doesn’t know the true identities of His Majesty and His Majesty!"

"What a lucky guy, there are so many people in the world, but he happened to meet the emperor and empress of the dynasty, and even recognized them as his godparents."

Glancing at Li Junxian, he saw that he was strong and muscular, with a great momentum, so Li Nian also asked:

"I want to ask you something"

"What is the position and rank of godfather?"

Li Junxian heard it and stammered:"Although the master's official position is not high, his identity is special and his rank cannot be said."

"I heard from my godmother that my godfather has been in a bad mood recently. It seems that it is because the Turks have been harassing the border and the court is hesitant about the issue of war and peace?"

Li Nian asked hesitantly.

Li Junxian was stunned. He didn't expect that this kid actually knew so much about the affairs of the court. He nodded immediately.

"Yes, the master has been losing his appetite for several days because of this matter."

Li Nian thought to himself:"If godfather can offer some advice and make some contribution in this matter, wouldn't he be valued?" Li Junxian smiled and said:"That should be the case, right?"

"The Turks are a major threat to our Tang Dynasty. We must deal with them sooner or later."

"However, although the Tang Dynasty is now recuperating and accumulating strength, it is still not easy to march north to the Turks."

"Otherwise, the important officials in the court would not have quarreled over this matter."

"The master is also worried about how to make a decision!"

After hearing this, Li Nian had a plan in mind.

"If I help my godfather now, I can improve his favorability and get him promoted, then I can be considered to have a big boss."

In the Tang Dynasty, it is not enough to just have money, you also need power.

The second generation of the rich is not safe, if it is the second generation of the rich and the second generation of the official, then you can enjoy a stable life.

In the early years of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty began to gradually show its overlord-level strength.

It destroyed the Eastern and Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, and Xueyantuo, established the Anxi Protectorate, and expanded its sphere of influence directly to Central Asia.

Not to mention the expedition to Goguryeo in the future.

Just these big battles, he just needs to give this cheap godfather some advice , just hang around, not to mention being like Xue Rengui, it would not be a problem to become a king or a duke.

These days, the title is hereditary.

Moreover, Li Er is not like other kings who would abandon their meritorious officials after their rabbits have died.

As long as he does not rebel, his cheap godfather will be his support.

It would be nice to be a salted fish second generation in the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Nian made a decision in his heart.

Soon, the aroma of food came from the kitchen.

"Godfather, godmother, it's time to eat!"

Li Nian brought the delicious food to the main hall, and saw Empress Changsun standing up with a smile, holding Li Er's hand and saying:

"Come and taste the food your son made, it smells so good."

Li Nian said with a smile:"I didn't know that godfather was coming, so I didn't make any preparations. I just made a few simple dishes."

Soon, the dining table was full of food.

Looking at these unique dishes, Li Er immediately became interested.

The imperial meals we eat on weekdays are almost all steamed, baked, fried, and fried, but things like this are rare.

Seeing this, Li Junxian on the side hurriedly prepared to go forward to try the dishes.

The king's meals are all tested for poison by special people.

There are no eunuchs here, so he had to do it himself.

Who knew that before he went forward, he was glared at by Empress Changsun and retreated to the side.

Picking up a piece of roast duck, Empress Changsun smiled and said:"I really don't know what Nian'er thinks. This roast duck tastes great. Even the imperial meals in the palace are probably not as good as it."

After picking up two more chopsticks, Empress Changsun glanced at Li Er, waved her hand, and said:"Husband, what are you still standing there for, come and eat!"

""Oh, good, good!"

Seeing that Empress Changsun trusted Li Nian so much, Li Er didn't act pretentiously and started eating right away.

Li Junxian, who was standing next to him, was terrified.

The Emperor and Empress' food was eaten without any poison test. If something went wrong, the Tang Dynasty would be completely ruined.

Li Er picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. His eyebrows raised.

"Um!"

"It’s delicious, indeed delicious!"

Seeing that Li Er also praised it highly, Empress Zhang Sun immediately felt proud and said with a smile:"It’s better than the imperial meals in the palace!"

"Yes!"

A piece of braised pork completely conquered Li Er's taste buds. As he spoke, he picked up other dishes with his chopsticks.

For a moment, Li Er also let go of his restraint, and the atmosphere at the table became more joyful.

"Refreshing! It's even more delicious than what the imperial kitchen makes!"

Li Er's mouth was full of oil, and he no longer looked shy at the beginning.

Li Nian put down his chopsticks and said with a smile:"Godfather, have you eaten imperial food?"

With a shake of his beard, Li Er laughed and said:"What's so special about imperial food? The emperor eats the same. To be honest, the ingredients are more precious, but the variety is not as much as yours!"

This is not far-fetched.

When it comes to food, it can be said that the emperor really doesn't have as many varieties of food as ordinary people who have nothing to do, especially in the Tang Dynasty, when cooking technology had not yet developed greatly.

However, Li Nian always felt that his cheap godfather was a little boastful.

At the very least, it was also an imperial meal. How could a small official like you eat it?

Of course, it was not easy for him to expose it, and he immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, godfather."

Li Nian said:"I heard from godmother that godfather is not happy recently?"

"Let me tell you, maybe I can give you some ideas."

"You?"

Li Er looked at Li Nian in confusion.

Empress Changsun beside him also smiled and whispered to Li Er:"It was Nian'er and I who told me about the court's northern expedition to the Turks!"

Hearing this, Li Er was shocked.

He didn't expect such shocking words to come from the mouth of a young man, and he became interested.

"Yes, in recent days, the Turks have often come south and plundered the northern border."

"The high officials in the court all evaded the question and none of them wanted to take responsibility."

Empress Changsun looked at Li Nian. She knew that Li Nian might have a plan, so she looked at Li Nian and said,"Nian'er, do you have any plan?"

"If so, why not tell your father about it?"

After hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Nian frowned and looked at Li Er seriously:

"Godfather, do you want to make a contribution in the war against the Turks in the Tang Dynasty?"
