Chapter 22

Li Shimin finished eating in one go, and he was still burping: "Changle, when did you learn the cooking skills?" And you are doing so well, your father doesn't dare to recognize you! Is this still my little princess? ”

"Hee-hee...... Father, is it delicious? ”

"Delicious!"

Li Shimin touched his stomach and said with a smile: "It seems that my father is a little paranoid, and he can cook food, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but you are a princess ......." ”

He still can't accept it.

A princess with a noble status, she ran to be a cook.

This is simply discrediting the royal family.

Li Zhisan ran in two steps and said, "Father, the son has something unclear, and I hope that my father will solve my doubts!" ”

"You say!"

"My father thinks that the spirit of Confucianism is important, or is it the people who are important?"

"It's ......."

The spirit of Confucianism and the people are indispensable to a country.

However!

Li Shimin said unswervingly: "Nothing is more important than the people!" You must remember that as a prince, anyone can bully, but you can't bully the people! ”

"Son, remember!"

Li Zhi continued to ask: "Since the people are more important, why does my father feel that cooking is detrimental to the royal face?" Just because Confucianism is important and courteous, and cooking is despised, my father thinks it's not good to cook? You must know that in the eyes of the people, the most important thing is two meals a day, and only when you are full can you live ....... ”

"The people live on food! The hungry people won't care about your rules! ”

"Erchen doesn't understand, everyone wants to eat, how can he think that being a cook is insulting? If all the people of the world think like this, won't they starve to death? ”

"It's ridiculous to be doing what you do every day, but you resist and dislike it from the heart!"

……

Li Shimin slowly stood up, with a contemplative look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Zhi'er is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart!" The eldest grandson queen said.

"Nope! There is some truth in what Zhi'er said! Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Zhi'er, you go on, Father listen!" ”

"Uh......."

Li Zhi has already finished saying everything that needs to be said, what else should he say?

All right!

Make up a few more sentences!

Li Zhi thought for a while and continued: "Father and Emperor, sons and sons believe that the strength of a country should not only depend on military and agriculture, but also pay attention to the development of other aspects!" ”

"It's like cooking!"

"If our territory is a big country with cooking skills, the food they cook is delicious, and the chef's cooking skills are amazing! But we are clumsy, people send envoys to Tang, and find that the food is unpalatable, will we underestimate our country? ”

"Although we are excellent in all aspects, in the eyes of others, we are still not a big country!"

"And medicine, architecture, clothing...... These must be done to the best in order to make the realm submit! It's not that the army is sent to beat the people, and it is unified, and the act of surrendering and betraying the opposite in history abounds, all because the surrenderer is not convinced! ”

"Father, you said yes, right?"

In order to persuade Li Shimin, Li Zhi also fought hard.

These truths are by no means something that he can understand as a child!

If you don't want to be suspected!

But in order to do so, he had to give it a try!

Hiss!

After listening to Li Zhi's opinion, everyone present was stunned!

Li Shimin gasped even more: "My Zhi'er is really extraordinary!" This kind of insight far surpasses the ancient and modern sages, and I am afraid that it will give the ministers of the court a headache! ”

"Does Father agree?"

"This matter involves a wide range of things, and it is not possible to change thousands of years of Confucian thought. However, I can stop you from learning to cook, if you are really interested, feel free! ”

"Thank you, Father!"

At this time, the most surprised was Li Liqing, the princess of Changle.

"Even this kind of thing can make my father agree, and I can treat my younger brother well! Admire, admire! She thought to herself: "There's nothing wrong with learning to cook, just like learning martial arts, I have to master it!" ”

"In the future, everyone will be coveted!"

……

Just when she couldn't help but be crooked, Li Shimin found that there were five large boxes at the door, neatly arranged.

"Ji'er, what's that?"

"Back to my father, a few days ago, you asked me to copy the historical records a thousand times, I have already copied them, they are all in these boxes, please take a look at them!"

When he said this, Li Zhi's eyes stared at Li Shimin without blinking.

I saw that his pupils were dilated and his eyes were wide open.

"How is that possible? Are you really done? He ran over in three steps and two steps, and lifted the box open.

Brand new books appeared in front of him.

Empress Eldest Sun picked up a copy casually.

Neat handwriting.

Arranged in an orderly manner.

From the ancient Yellow Emperor to the history of the Han Dynasty, there is not a single omission.

Li Shimin was surprised: "Since you boasted about Haikou, I have imagined countless possibilities. It also includes you looking for the Ministry of Engineering and rubbing. However, such a huge project, even if you look for the Ministry of Engineering, it will take half a year. You took a few carvers with you, and in a few days, you rubbed the historical records a thousand times! ”

"Zhi'er, how did you do it?"

……

Empress Changsun also said: "I once asked the printers to print a book for me, and it took me a year. There are no words to describe how cumbersome it is. ”

"This ...... It's too fast! ”

"Father and Queen Mother, did I win this bet?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

"You win, but you're going to tell me how you did it?" Li Shimin took a historical record, sat aside, and looked at it with great satisfaction.

"Back to my father, this is actually very simple. As long as the old-fashioned printing technology is changed to movable type printing, Erchen has taught Dong Fu, the engraving master of the Ministry of Industry, and he can do it! ”

"And ......."

"The sons were able to win the gambling contract smoothly, thanks to them, please ask the emperor to reward him!" Li Zhi not only won the gambling contract, but also asked for credit for Dong Fu and others by the way.

It's a lot of money!

Li Shimin laughed and said: "What a His Royal Highness the King of Jin, he is worthy of being my son!" He was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

Excitedly, he ran over and hugged Li Zhi into his arms.

Bo Bo Bo ......

Kissed a few big mouthfuls in a row.

"Ahh Father, what are you doing? It's all over my face! Li Zhi struggled desperately, but his body was short and didn't work at all.

Empress Eldest Sun covered her mouth and laughed: "Zhi'er has indeed given us a lot of surprises, no wonder your father is happy!" ”

Li Lizhi was greedy for Li Zhi's favor, and hugged Li Shimin's thigh: "Father, you don't love me anymore......." ”

"How so? You will always be my favorite little princess! Li Shimin also took her into his arms. The affection is beyond words.

However......

Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were hiding behind the screen, didn't think so.

The jealousy in their hearts is on the verge of exploding!

"This kid...... Father, emperor and queen mother, revolve around him all day long, and they almost forget about our brothers. Big brother, let's find a way to rectify him and let him know how good we are! Li Tai said angrily.
