Next to Li Shimin is a young man who was born quite handsome.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let Ye Ping go to the palace to interrogate? Do you want us to come here? It doesn't match our identity! ”

Li Shimin said: "Because this person is very important, Liu Bei was still looking at the thatched house at that time, so he invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain and sympathize with the people, so what's the matter?" This is to emulate the deeds of our ancestors, not to lose our identity. By the way, do you know how to do it in a moment? ”

It turned out that this person was the traitor Xu Jingzong is also, Xu Jingzong was young and promising at this time, and was named a university scholar by Li Shimin, basically on an equal footing with Kong Yingda.

He loves money like his life, and for the sake of money, he can marry his daughter to a barbarian, and we have no way of verifying how many gifts he received in private.

He tends to be inflammatory, and the wall grass should be the most suitable to describe Xu Jingzong, he has assisted Li Mi, Taizong, Gaozong, Wu Zetian, which ruler is in power, he leans on his side, and has no political principles of his own.

He was lustful, after the death of his wife, Xu Jingzong took a fancy to his wife's maidservant, so he accepted it as his concubine, and found that his son was fornicating with the concubine, so he drove his son out of Chang'an, and it was rare for a woman to turn his face with his son.

Such a traitor can be reused by Li Shimin, and it can be seen that his ability is extraordinary.

Xu Jingzong said respectfully: "I heard Du Shangshu say that you can't reveal your identity!" Especially the identity of Your Majesty! ”

"Yes, Ye Ping is quite important to me, but his personality is a little eccentric, he especially doesn't like to be restricted, and he doesn't like to get too close to the court, especially he doesn't like to be suppressed, so I haven't told him my identity."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

How could Xu Jingzong know what Ye Ping's status was in Li Shimin's heart, but if the above asked him to do this, he could only do so, otherwise how could the court get mixed up?

"Alright, there's a tavern ahead, let's go up and have a look."

"Yes!"

When I arrived outside the tavern, I saw another shop.

Li Shimin saw the shop in front of him and said, "Datang Bookstore? That's a good name! I have never heard of the word bookstore, but it can be used to form words. ”

The bookstore did not appear until the Song Dynasty.

Its original meaning was an official institution, but Ye Ping used it directly, and by extension, it meant a store.

Xu Jingzong explained: "This game is the same as a chess game, what is a game, that is the pattern, and this shop is used to determine the pattern of Datang books." The one who takes this name is for the talented people! ”

"Hahaha, Xu Jingzong, you are really a talented person, my bachelor is not the wrong person!"

"Your Majesty has a discerning eye, and I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

This Xu Jingzongjing said something that Li Shimin likes to hear.

"So, I'm going to take you out today to see who this Ye Ping is! Do you know who is the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of Datang Bookstore? ”

"I don't know!"

Li Shimin smiled.

"It's Ye Pingye!"

Xu Jingzong was shocked, what, it turned out to be Ye Ping?

"Didn't Your Majesty say that Ye Ping opened a tavern?"

"But I didn't say that he also opened a Datang bookstore!"

"This ......"

Xu Jingzong was speechless for a while.

"Let's go in, let's go in and meet Ye Ping."

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

"Huh? What do you call me? ”

"Yes, Li Lang!"

So the two went into the tavern.

As soon as I arrived at the tavern, I could hear Ye Ping's voice.

"Lao Li, you haven't been to my tavern for more than ten days, are you so busy with business? Can't even take care of my little shop? ”

Ye Ping was very unhappy in his heart, I have to spend all my points, you haven't come yet, it's been more than ten days, and you're finally here, if it's not for Lao Tzu to be busy, Lao Tzu will definitely let Du Ruhui come to you to find you.

He also saw Xu Jingzong next to Li Shimin, and was a little surprised.

This is not quite the same as what is written in history, this thing looks a little white-faced?

It's not like what is written in history, with a treacherous appearance.

"Hahaha, isn't this coming? Recently, there are indeed some things, and I went out once, and Shuozhou has returned to normal, thanks to your strategy, otherwise my business will be yellow. ”

Li Shimin's implication is that the Turks have settled down a lot during this period of time, and it is precisely because of your relationship with Ye Ping.

"Hahaha, it's just a modest effort, Lao Li doesn't have to worry about it!"

After that, he asked: "By the way, the vegetables I planted some time ago are a little ripe, why don't I just fry them for you?" ”

"Oh? That's naturally good, and there are the Lao Ye brothers. Seriously, except for Brother Ye's fried dishes, I really can't eat other people's dishes. ”

"Lao Li, you are too loving. Please, please, please! ”

After that, they welcomed the two into the tavern.

"Leave your mind at your own devices!"

"Brother Ye, wait a minute, don't worry."

Ye Ping was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

"Oh? What else is going on with Lao Li? ”

"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to this person."

"My name is Xu Jingzong, and I heard Li Lang say that Shopkeeper Ye is different, and now it seems that it is no different!"

What's wrong with this?

From the beginning to the present, Ye Ping has not faced Xu Jingzong squarely.

Because Li Shimin didn't introduce it, he didn't bother to ask.

After all, in the face of such a big traitor, if you ask too many questions, you may even recruit villains.

In addition, Xu Jingzong always looks arrogant, and he still says this kind of thing, I feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, which is quite annoying.

Ye Ping didn't bother to talk to him, but asked again: "This person is your friend?" ”

Li Shimin paused for a while and then said: "Yes, this person is a friend I have not known for a long time, and he is quite talented. ”

"Oh? It turns out that he is your friend, I thought you were a servant! If it's a master-servant relationship, it's rude just now! ”

Ye Ping said so.

He had no interest in Xu Jingzong at all.

The two of them were a little embarrassed.

Especially Xu Jingzong, no matter how he said that he was also a scholar, how could he be so ignored?

But Li Shimin is like this, and it's good that he can do this.
