Li Shimin's will was conveyed quickly, and it was delivered to Li Gang's house before it happened.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor's will needs to be reviewed by the Zhongshu Province and reviewed by the Menxia Province before it can be issued. However, in today's court, Li Shimin is very strong in changing all important positions.

The left and right servants were replaced by Xiao Yu and Feng Deyu, Zhongshu Ling was replaced by Fang Xuanling, and the Shangshu positions such as Hubu Shangshu were all replaced by officials of their own factions.

This will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, but the advantage is that the emperor's orders are directly unimpeded, and no one will intercept them at all.

Li Gang, who received the holy decree, was about to shirk it, but remembering the conversation with Kong Yingda a few days ago, he became very interested in Li Chengqian.

"Okay, just tell the old man to see what kind of demon you are!"

....

"Ahh

At this time, Li Chengqian, who was in the kitchen of the East Palace, covered his nose with a handkerchief and sneezed fiercely.

The cook also wanted to sneeze, but remembering the strict order of the prince, he could only obediently hold back.

Pieces of medicinal herbs are put into a small mill, and after grinding again and again, they finally become a brown powder.

Li Chengqian pinched a little powder and stuffed it into his mouth and nodded. In the absence of condiments such as soy sauce, this simple spice is enough for seasoning. Without seasoning, a lot of food is uneaten. For example, pork, Li Chengqian also asked the cook to find out that pork meat, that is, pork, is actually cheap meat, and the princes and ministers will resolutely not eat this thing.

As for why it is cheap meat, it is naturally because the pork is cooked and eaten directly, and it has a bad taste.

Li Chengqian smiled, if there was a seasoning, these people probably wouldn't call pork cheap meat. After all, after the advent of Mr. Dongpo's Dongpo meat, few people have called pork that.

Li Chengqian can't cook Dongpo meat, but after working as a delivery boy for so many years, he occasionally has time to chat with chefs in major restaurants. Although he did not put it into practice, Li Chengqian is confident that his cooking skills will not be too spicy chicken.

"Go ahead, put all the powder in the jar and seal it to protect it from moisture."

The identity of the son of the world is good for this, as long as many things are told, someone will do it.

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw the eldest grandson Baoqing walking in.

Seeing the big package in the arms of the eldest grandson Baoqing, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing.

Looks like this guy has got his hands on it.

Sure enough, after the eldest grandson Baoqing opened the package, he revealed the pork knuckles and pig trotters inside.

"Shizi, the villain followed your instructions and asked the butcher to clean up the elbows and hooves, and you can rest assured, this pork is freshly killed, the pig is white and clean, and the villain is staring at it all the time!"

The sanitary conditions of the Tang Dynasty could not be compared with those of later generations, even in the era of strict hygiene requirements in later generations, there would occasionally be a swine flu or something, Li Chengqian did not believe that the sanitary conditions in the butchers of the Tang Dynasty could be compared with later generations.

The pig's trotters and pig's knuckles in the package are wrapped in lotus leaves, and they are still a little hot. Li Chengqian, who was worried about the sanitary conditions but greedy, could only hope for the hot water.

I picked it up for a while, but I didn't pick it up.

The idle cook immediately came over with a look in his eyes and said, "Shizi, let's carry it for the villain, you can command it on the side." ”

"Okay, then you do as the king says. After learning it, I will cook food in this way. ”

Under the command of Li Chengqian, the cook meticulously scalded the pork knuckles and hooves with hot water again, and then put the spices, green onions, ginger, garlic and ingredients into a casserole, boiled over high heat, and then simmered over low heat.

Because of the addition of Lee Seung-gan's exclusive spice, it didn't take long for the tempting taste to spread.

Smelling this fragrance, the eldest grandson Baoqing and the cooks couldn't help but drool. The cook, in particular, already wonders if he is stewing pork, can pork have this kind of flavor?

Li Chengqian also quietly wiped the corners of his mouth and said to the cook: "The fire is simmering, when there is no resistance to the chopsticks being inserted, turn off the fire, and wait for dinner time to send it to the king's study with the rice!" ”

After repeatedly instructing the cook, Li Chengqian took his eldest grandson Baoqing back to the study.

Gluttony is gluttony, and learning is still very important.

Although a lot of Tang Dynasty characters have been memorized, it does not affect reading and writing. However, Li Chengqian still chose to continue his studies.

If you want to live with dignity in ancient times and become a person like Kong Yiji, it is inevitable.

Do you think you can read and write as a literati? No, you have to be proficient in all kinds of classics, allusions come as soon as you open your mouth, and you can recognize rare words at a glance. Otherwise, you can only be at the bottom of the literary world. You must know that at this time, the literati have to gather at every turn and talk about literature. What is the first and the second, it is all nonsense, and the literati prefer to divide the higher.

took out a copy of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" and read it carefully, and in the absence of a teacher, Li Chengqian could only guess the meaning of this word according to the upper and lower paragraphs of the words. Damn Du Zhenglun and Yu Zhining, just leave, and they don't have anything serious.

People are forgetful, and Li Chengqian, who was studying, naturally forgot his plan to force those two people away at noon.

Time passed minute by minute, and at about three o'clock, the door of the study was pushed open, and Li Chengqian, who was copying the complicated characters on the book, was startled and his pen fell to the ground.

Glancing at the people who came in, Li Chengqian's anger came up directly: "Damn, don't you know how to knock on the door?" ”

The eldest grandson Baoqing ran to Li Chengqian's side in a few steps, and said anxiously: "Son, don't learn it first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order to order you to go out of the East Palace to greet Mr. Li, if you lose your manners, he will ask for the guilt." ”

"Mr. Li?"

Before Li Chengqian could think about it, he was carried out by the eldest grandson Baoqing on his shoulders.

There is still a distance between the study of the East Palace and the main entrance, and the eldest grandson Baoqing is afraid that if the prince leaves by himself, it will delay time, so he simply uses it to carry, anyway, the prince is not heavy.

In this way, in a daze, Li Chengqian was carried to the gate of the East Palace by the eldest grandson Baoqing.

The East Palace is parallel to the palace city, and standing at the gate of the East Palace can just see the situation at the gate of the Changle Gate and other palaces.

It was obviously afternoon, but the nobles kneeling on both sides of the road had not decreased much, and it seemed that a day's confession was not enough to impress the current crown prince Li Shimin.

Far away, a simple ox cart enters from Anfumen, and the old cow pulling the cart may have a bad stomach, and a few steps will leave a little "fertilizer".

Entering the Anfu Gate, it is between the imperial city and the palace, and it is a big crime for Lao Niu to leave filth on such a formal occasion, but no one dares to have an opinion, whether it is the soldiers guarding the door or those kneeling nobles. Many kneeling nobles deliberately straightened their upper bodies and bowed to the ox cart.

Watching the ox cart slowly drive under the hand-off of the nobles, Li Chengqian couldn't help but pull the hem of the eldest Sun Baoqing's clothes: "Who is this, such a dick." ”

The eldest grandson Baoqing said with a respectful face: "Li Gang, Mr. Li Wenji, the villain only hears his name, but he has never had a chance to see him." ”

"Li Gang?"

After finding out the information about this person in his mind, Li Chengqian immediately turned around and bowed from a distance to wait.

Can't be provoked, can't be provoked.

Regardless of the identity of this person, even if he is eighty years old, it is not something that Li Chengqian can make a mistake.
