Chapter 56: Tribute
Li Tai hurriedly put the lid on the pot.
Li Lizhen walked into the room and said, "Father said...... Hey? What taste. ”
Li Tai reluctantly squeezed a smile and said, "It's nothing, let's go out and talk." ”
He sniffed Li Lizhen again and said, "It's so fragrant." ”
Smelling the aroma of meat, Li Lizhi's attention shifted to a small pot placed on the table, opened the lid of the pot and said in surprise: "Ah! It turned out to be meat! ”
"This ......"
Before Li Tai could speak, Li Lizhi had already picked up a piece of meat and ate it into his mouth.
"It's delicious." Li Lizhen nodded.
Li Tai was speechless for a while, "What, it's not good to eat other people's things casually." ”
Li Lizhi grinned, "What kind of meat is this?" ”
The subordinate of the Wei King's Mansion replied: "Back to Princess Changle, this is pork." ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Tai kicked away this self-righteous subordinate, who had never eaten pork since he was a child, maybe he didn't know it at all.
Li Tai explained: "In fact, it was sent by Li Zheng, and you know it, and I can't refuse his kindness." ”
Li Lizhi reminisced, "It turns out that pork is so delicious." ”
"Yes...... Right. ”
Li Lizhi sighed: "In fact, pork is also meat, and sometimes I really can't understand why meat should be divided into expensive and cheap." ”
Since she can remember, in Li Tai's impression, Li Lizhi is very smart, and her cleverness is not in those calculations.
There is also stubbornness in her heart, but Li Lizhi will put herself in the shoes of others, the same child of the father and queen mother.
Li Lizhi is more likely to be humble and understanding.
will also understand the difficulties of the father and the queen mother.
Li Tai remembers that when he was a child, he often competed with the prince for toys.
Li Lizhi often gave up her own toys to avoid quarreling with the prince.
If she hadn't been there, the relationship between herself and the prince would have been even worse now.
From childhood to adulthood, in the eyes of her father and mother, she is the most sensible one.
It is also the one that brings everyone together the most among all the younger brothers and sisters.
Following Li Tai out of the room, Li Li said, "Father asked me to ask, how is the Kuo Di Zhi." ”
"It's still early, Cen Wenwen said that he would collect the summaries from all over the country first, how could it be so fast, is the father urging again?"
"Not really, just mentioned, you can hold on to it but don't mess things up." Li Lizhi advised.
"Got it." Li Tai nodded.
"Ashinash, the Turki Khan who has lost his thinking power and is now Xue Yantuo, is coming to pay tribute this year, and the prince is already preparing for it, but the father has not said who will preside over this matter."
"Thank you, Sister Huang, for telling me." Li Tai saluted slightly.
Although it is not appropriate for Li Lizhen to meddle in the government affairs, her father often takes her with her, and some news will be told to him as soon as possible.
Over the years, a tacit understanding has also been formed.
Li Lizhi instructed again: "If the father and the emperor intend to arrange the imperial brother, you must not fight with the imperial brother anymore, you know that the two of you brothers will definitely make trouble behind your back." ”
Li Tai touched his nose, "As long as the prince doesn't make it bad, I won't either." ”
Since Jieli Khan was captured alive by Li Jing and the Turkic Tooth Court was destroyed, now the entire Turkic is in chaos.
The various tribes fought with each other, the original stubbornness and now wanted to establish himself as a khan, Ashinash Bobi was also the tribal patriarch of Xue Yantuo by the Turkic royal family, and Jieli was the uncle of Ashinash Bobi.
Now, Ashinash Bobi led the Xue Yantuo tribe and the people who lost their thinking power to fight on the grassland.
Both want to fight for the position of a new Khan.
After Li Shimin divided the two of them to weather, these two people have never stopped.
They are fighting and fighting, and the DPRK and China are happy to see it, and they are even more reluctant to see which of them dominates the grassland.
The hotter the fight, the more the head breaks and the blood flow is the best.
This time, the two of them wanted to come to pay tribute, just to let Datang come to pull the shelf.
"What has Li Zheng been doing lately?" Li Lizhi asked suddenly.
"What else can he do, farm and build a house."
"Huh."
Li Lizhi nodded, picked up the bowl of pork and said, "The queen mother is pregnant again, I will serve this bowl of broth to the queen mother, and you are not allowed to eat meat secretly in the future." ”
Li Tai emphasized: "That's pork. ”
Li Lizhi still left.
Li Tai was so anxious that he stomped his foot, it's over, it's over...... If my father and mother knew that I was eating pork, I would have to eat a few meals.
"Why can't I keep my mouth shut!"
Li Tai wanted to give himself a slap, but he retracted his hand and sighed: "Alas......"
Day 2
Li Tai came to Jingyang County and said to Li Zheng: "It's all your fault!" ”
"Blame me for everything?" Li Zheng said as he ate peanuts.
"What are you eating?"
"Peanuts, do you want to eat them?"
Li Tai took a few and ate them, "Is there anything else?" ”
Li Zheng pointed to the jar on the side, "Take it yourself." ”
Li Tai carried the jar and ate peanuts one after another, and he couldn't stop eating at all.
Jingyang County is building roads again, and every road in the village is not let go, and it is almost the agricultural slack period, and many idle people are used to repair roads.
Li Zheng looked at the road construction situation and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Eating peanuts, Li Tai pondered: "What am I looking for from you?" ”
"It's all you, now my father and mother may know that I stole pork."
"What does it have to do with me that you eat pork."
Li Tai thought about it carefully, "That's right, it's me Meng Lang." ”
"What are you looking for me?"
Li Tai thought about it for a while and said, "The stubborn thinking force and Ashina on the Turkic steppe are going to come to Chang'an to pay tribute. ”
Li Zheng took the peanuts in Li Tai's hand, grabbed a handful and ate them.
"This matter is because of you, the Yinshan strategy you gave will have the current situation, they are fighting on the grassland, trying to make there only one Khan on the grassland, and now there are two on the grassland, do you think it will be peaceful?"
"It's a bias frame."
Li Tai nodded: "It's not a drop." ”
Peanuts are really good to eat, and after eating too much, Li Tai picked up the water bladder on the side and drank a sip of water to moisten his mouth, "How is it hot water." ”
"I don't drink raw water."
After hearing about Li Zheng's problem, Li Tai muttered: "Poor and exquisite. ”
Li Zheng took the water bladder in Li Tai's hand, "You know what this is called hygiene." ”
"I heard that you people in Jingyang County don't drink raw water,"
"So there are very few people in Jingyang County who have stomach problems."
"Really? Is there such a thing as this? ”
"If you don't believe me, go and inquire."
"What should you do on the prairie?" Li Tai pulled the words back again.
Li Zheng didn't think much about it and said: "What else can I do, let them continue to fight, let's send food to one side, and weapons to the other side, so that they can fight hard, fight heartily, fight dark, let's sit and watch the excitement"
