Chapter 5: Verbal Torture

"Auxiliary, why haven't you left yet?" A Qingyue voice sounded from behind the eldest grandson Wuji.

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji turned around, he saw Du Ruhui also walking out of the house.

He was the last of the three to come out, which shows that King Qin's counterattack against the crown prince has been determined.

Tiance Mansion gathered all kinds of talents recruited by King Qin when he conquered the world, among which he was especially famous for "Fang Mou Du Xuan".

Fang Xuanling is good at scheming, and he can see through the next three or four steps before taking one step.

Du Ruhui is arbitrary, many times, most people can't make up their minds, but Du Ruhui can make a decision to implement it.

Today, the King of Qin left Du Ruhui alone, and it seems that something is left to him to decide.

"It's nothing, it's just a sigh of relief to see Shizi recover."

Although he was full of doubts about Li Chengqian, the eldest grandson Wuji was very smart and didn't say much. Some things are not found out to the truth, but are only made public at the stage of suspicion, and the wise do not do it.

And the eldest grandson, Wuji, is the wise man among the wise.

Du Ruhui covered his mouth and coughed a few times before walking over slowly and said, "I know what you want to know, I can only tell you that King Qin is not so indecisive, we can rest assured." ”

With Du Ruhui's words, Yu Chigong and Eldest Sun Wuji both smiled.

Now, they are in Tiance Mansion, and they are both prosperous and lossy with King Qin, and between the prince and King Qin, they are even more incompatible. Although the lake in Chang'an looks calm, as long as you take one wrong step, it will capsize. They are all big families, and what they are most afraid of at this time is the indecision of the Lord.

"As long as King Qin gives an order, I will definitely take the lead!" Wei Chigong clenched his fists and swore an oath.

He never considered what was dangerous or not, and when he had just been surrendered and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he had already dedicated his loyalty to Li Shimin, not to the Li family.

In the distance, Li Chengqian leaned against the shadow wall, watching the three of them leave.

The eldest grandson Baoqing said worriedly: "Your Royal Highness, aren't you ready to go back to the house?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and took his eldest grandson Baoqing back to his residence.

Since he knew that it was now the ninth year of martial arts, Li Chengqian knew that the next days would not be stable.

Historically, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution on the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude.

Now that the cold winter has passed, everything has sprouted, and the warm wind of April has blown all over Chang'an.

In less than two months, the dragon chair in the Chang'an Palace will be replaced.

The eldest grandson Baoqing saw that the master seemed to be sighing something, but he was very smart and didn't ask, but after Li Chengqian entered the house, he instructed the maid to bring the meal.

Li Chengqian sat cross-legged at the table and didn't feel so rude. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty sat on their knees, such a sitting posture was extremely uncomfortable in Li Chengqian's view, just like the people of the island country.

How comfortable it is to sit cross-legged!

Today's food has improved significantly.

In addition to a bowl of white rice, there is also a fat chicken.

After eating millet porridge for a few days, Li Chengqian also felt that the birds were about to fade out of his mouth. Seeing the fat chicken, he didn't hesitate to tear off two chicken legs and two chicken wings, and then put the rest in front of the eldest grandson Baoqing.

The eldest grandson Baoqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and excused himself: "Your Royal Highness, I'm not hungry, let's eat." ”

Although he said this, Li Chengqian saw two obvious words in his eyes - "desire".

It stands to reason that although the eldest grandson Baoqing is only a concubine, he is also a member of the eldest grandson's family. Nowadays, watching a chicken drooling is really a bit of a thing.

However, Li Chengqian knew that even if he was a prince and a member of the royal family, it would not be easy to eat this chicken.

It is now the ninth year of Wude, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, although nine years have passed, but in the past nine years, the Tang Dynasty's conquest has not stopped, since the fall of the Sui Dynasty, wars have broken out, and the people have no chance to recuperate. The newly established Tang Dynasty is full of waste.

If it weren't for his identity as a sick person, the dignified prince of Qin, the king of Zhongshan, would also have to eat small rice and whole chicken? It's pretty good to have a chicken leg.

"Eat, this king has an average appetite, it's enough to have chicken legs and chicken wings, you can eat the rest."

Pushing the moved and confused eldest grandson Baoqing aside, Li Chengqian began to eat.

White rice is better, after all, it's something you're used to, but chicken thighs are a bit like that.

Putting the bitten chicken leg on the plate, Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask the eldest grandson Baoqing: "This king doesn't have high blood pressure, why didn't the chicken leg even put salt?" ”

The eldest grandson Baoqing stuffed his mouth full of chicken bones, and finally swallowed it before saying: "Yushizi, in the past two years, we have been short of salt everywhere in Datang. Under the influence of various reasons, even our Qin Wangfu does not have enough salt, and even King Qin brushes his teeth in the morning, and there is no green salt. As for small civilian households, it is estimated that it is rare to eat salt once in half a year. ”

"Tsk."

Hearing the eldest grandson Baoqing say this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be speechless.

Although I was prepared for the situation in the early Tang Dynasty, after I really saw it, I felt that it was really miserable.

Stir-fried food only appeared after the Song Dynasty, and the food of the Tang Dynasty was no different from that of primitive people. Even if it's chicken, you can eat it just by boiling it in water, and it's great to add a little salt.

It's okay if you don't have any seasoning, it's too much if you don't even have salt.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the eldest grandson Baoqing, Li Chengqian sighed and gave him all the chicken legs and chicken wings.

I can't eat it.

The eldest grandson Baoqing couldn't understand why the master gave him a whole chicken, and asked timidly: "Shizi, do you have a bad appetite?" Do you want to send the imperial doctor to show you? ”

Li Chengqian waved his hand, he really didn't know how to tell him.

For the people of the Tang Dynasty, as long as it was meat, it was fragrant. But for Li Chengqian, who is used to eating Orleans roast wings and the like, it's just....

Ahh

Outside the window, the eldest grandson came to take a peek as usual.

She still praised Li Chengqian's practice of distributing chicken to his eldest grandson Baoqing, which was a necessary means to win people's hearts.

But seeing that he only took one bite from beginning to end, he couldn't help but worry again.

Simply, she pushed open the door and walked inside.

Seeing the eldest grandson coming, Li Chengqian hurriedly stood up: "Mother concubine." ”

And the eldest grandson Baoqing, almost frightened, knelt on the ground after slipping away.

Eating chicken is weak.

The eldest grandson walked to the table, sighed, and asked, "Cheng Qian, do you have a bad appetite?" Don't even eat chicken? ”

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I have a bad appetite, it's just that this chicken doesn't taste good at all, it's not delicious!" Mother, you see that I can walk now, can you let me go out of the house and find something to eat by myself? ”

After thinking about it, I can only go out and walk.

It stands to reason that there are a lot of spices, such as star anise peppercorns, which have always been available in the land of China, and you will definitely be able to find them if you look carefully.

You can't make a meal like Orleans wings, but it's good to make your taste buds a little better.

"Doesn't it taste good?"

The eldest grandson looked at the oil in the mouth of the eldest grandson Baoqing with a smile and a smile, and then looked at Li Chengqian's sad face, and said helplessly: "Okay, it's okay to go out for a walk, there are a lot of delicious foods in the market in Chang'an." ”
