Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Blacksmith Murderer Who Debated in the Court

Tai Chi Temple.

Li Er and all the ministers set their eyes on Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and in order to convince Li Er, he had to think of a righteous reason, but he couldn't be as vague as he was in front of Cheng Chumo.

Li Zexuan quickly searched for various suitable reasons in his mind, and suddenly had an idea, stepped forward and bowed and replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, there are two main reasons why the kid bought such a huge amount of chicken seedlings:

First, the boy saw that my farmer lived in poverty, and he couldn't even eat meat twice a year, and the children in the village might not be able to wear new clothes for the New Year, so he provided chicken seedlings for the farmer to reduce the villager's annual rent as a reward, so that the farmer could help me raise chickens, and the eggs laid by the chickens could subsidize the farmer's family and improve their lives.

Second, the kid's family opened a drunken fairy building, and a month ago the chicken was launched, which was very popular with the people of Chang'an, and all the ministers must have known it. Next year, the kid plans to launch one hundred and twenty-eight dishes with chicken as the main body in Zuixian Lou.

These include braised chicken, chicken stewed with mushrooms, called flower chicken, roast chicken, hibiscus chicken slices, shredded chicken, crispy chicken, spicy chicken, kung pao chicken, boiled chicken, grilled chicken wings, stir-fried chicken nuggets, salt-baked chicken, fragrant chicken, sweet and sour chicken nuggets, three-cup chicken wings, honey and ginger chicken, apple curry chicken, flower wings, curry chicken, white cut chicken, shredded chicken, cold chicken shreds, chicken skewers, sizzling chicken, fried rice with diced chicken, etc. ”

Li Zexuan quickly showed off the name of the fancy dish.

Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong and other veterans listened to the eyes straight, although they had not eaten, but just listening to the names of these dishes were a little articulate, especially some generals who did not eat breakfast, now it is almost noon and has not dispersed, at this time they are hungry, hearing Li Zexuan fancy-style report the name of the dish there, one by one stood in place and swallowed violently.

The civil service ranks are not much better, and there are many foodies among them, and when they hear the names of these unheard of dishes, these officials close their eyes and make up how delicious these dishes are. For a moment, the hall was almost full of the sound of swallowing saliva.

Li Er was also a little hungry as Li Zexuan said, but his mind was still quite sober, and then he frowned and asked: "Li Zexuan, if you want to launch these famous dishes, you can just go to Dongshi to buy chicken when the time comes, why do you have to go to such great lengths to raise chickens yourself?" ”

Li Zexuan had already prepared and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, these dishes that the kid said have relatively high requirements for the quality of chicken. Before, I set up a very large chicken farm on the mountain behind my Zhuangzi, and the chicken seedlings bought by the small people will be stocked on this mountain, so that they can feed on the grass, insects, rice bran and so on on the mountain.

Compared with the chickens fed by the farmers themselves, these free-range chickens on the mountains are lively and active, and have a strong ability to fly. This results in free-range chickens with compact muscles, less oil, chewing, better nutrition and better taste. ”

In fact, there is another thing Li Zexuan didn't say in his heart, free-range chickens have a stronger ability to fly, and the efficiency of catching locusts will naturally be higher at that time.

Where did Li Er raise chickens, he was stunned by Li Zexuan's set of theories, and at the end, he was suspicious: "This free-range chicken is really as good as you say?" ”

Li Zexuan still had this point for him, and he nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's true." ”

Cheng Yanjin swallowed his saliva at this time, stepped forward to help, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister can testify." When Lao Chen was still in Wagangzhai, he once caught a few chickens that escaped from the village in the mountains, and the wings of those chickens were obviously longer, and the taste of the chicken was better. ”

Li Er nodded and said, "Okay, Li Zexuan, you have already passed the first level, how do you explain Wei Aiqing's impeachment of you?" ”

For Wei Zheng, Li Zexuan first heard about it from Han Yuxi, and heard that he was a good wine and a winemaker. On the other hand, there were also many good stories of monarchs and ministers between Wei Zheng and Li Er, and finally became a generation of famous ministers and ranked in Lingyan Pavilion.

Li Zexuan didn't expect to be sprayed by the biggest troll in the Tang Dynasty when he met Wei Zheng for the first time. He turned around depressedly and looked at the Wenchen queue, wanting to ask which one was Wei Zheng.

"No need to ask, the old man is Wei Zheng, the impeachment sentence of the old man is true, what do you have to say?"

Wei Zheng saw Li Zexuan's gaze swept towards the Wenchen team again, knowing that he was looking for him, and without waiting for Li Zexuan to ask, he walked out directly, as the first troll in the Tang Dynasty, who had he ever been afraid of?

Li Zexuan saluted respectfully: "The kid has seen Wei Zuocheng, the kid has a question, I wonder if Wei Zuocheng can solve the kid's doubts?" ”

"What's the problem?"

"There is a blacksmith shop, the kitchen knives made are particularly sharp, the world is not peaceful, and many outlaws use the kitchen knives of this house to do some murderous things. May I ask Wei Zuocheng, should the government punish the crime of the murderer or the crime of the blacksmith? ”

Li Zexuan told Wei Zheng a story about whether he was guilty of murder or selling knives.

Wei Zheng answered: "Of course, the murderers should be punished...... Forehead. ”

After saying that, he himself reacted that something was wrong.

Li Zexuan didn't give him a chance to change his words, and said with a smile:

"Wei Zuocheng said well, the same principle is used on scooters, why does Wei Zuocheng want to cure the boy's sin? It is possible for children to play scooters in danger and disrupt the order in the city, but Wei Zuocheng should not formulate relevant laws to limit the use of scooters, how can he find trouble with the kid in turn? ”

Wei Zheng was speechless for a while, and he couldn't think of any good excuse to refute it for a long time.

This kid is interesting, the eldest grandson Wuji crossed the corner of his mouth with an inexplicable smile at this time, stepped forward and bowed to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Li Zexuan said is reasonable, and the Wonder Pavilion should be innocent." ”

Qiqu Pavilion has the dry shares of the prince Sancheng, and Li Chengqian has mentioned it to the eldest grandson Wuji many times before. At present, the eldest grandson Wuji is the most staunch princeling, although the Wonder Pavilion is insignificant to the prince's foundation, but if it is according to Wei Zheng's intentions, the Wonder Pavilion will be sealed, which will more or less damage the prince's reputation.

Of course, Eldest Sun Wuji would never be a rush to charge into battle, he only needed to complete the last mending knife when the situation was clear in the end.

Li Er nodded, he didn't take these little things to heart, and took them out separately, just to give Wei Zheng a face and avoid burning himself. I didn't expect Li Zexuan to be able to turn the situation around, this kid is quite witty.

Of course, seeing Wei Zheng deflated, Li Er's heart was also a little refreshed, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "In this case, Li Zexuan is not guilty!" ”

Li Zexuan hurriedly bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you, Boy, Your Majesty!" ”

At this time, Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, he didn't know why this person wanted to help him, and he had to ask Cheng Yanjin when he turned around, the water in this court was really a little deep, Li Zexuan felt a little tired at the moment, and sure enough, he was not suitable for this intriguing officialdom.
