The engagement banquet was full of praise from everyone, and Li Shimin also set a wedding date for Li Ke and Kong Jingrou. After the New Year, the two were married in Chang'an City.

It can be said that everyone has a smile on their faces at this time, but Li Tai is a little sullen. I feel like I'm a defeated rooster.

kept thinking in his heart, thinking of how to give Li Ke some problems. Let Li Ke be embarrassed in front of Li Shimin.

So Li Tai opened his mouth and said: "Father, today's meal is the most delicious meal that my son has ever eaten in his lifetime. I just don't know if I will be able to eat it in the future. ”

"The fourth brother doesn't have to be like this, the third brother has already given all the remaining condiments to the Shang Shi Bureau. With these condiments, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat delicious food? Li Chengqian said.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true, but it's a pity that these condiments will run out one day. When the time comes, where will the Shangshi Bureau go to find it? Li Tai looked at Li Ke and said.

At this time, Li Ke bowed his head and remained silent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. didn't pick up Li Tai's words at all.

At this time, the eldest grandson queen, who was sitting on the side, said: "Since your third emperor brother can take these condiments once, he will naturally be able to take them a second time." With your third emperor brother here, what do you have to worry about? ”

Now that Empress Eldest Sun has spoken, Li Ke naturally can't ignore it anymore. He could only open his mouth and say with a smile: "Queen Mother, these condiments are the secret recipe of Jueweixuan. ”

"Even if these are handed over to the Shangshi Bureau today, they are all from Erchen to sell this face and Zhang Baiwei. So whether there will be this condiment supply in the future, Erchen really can't guarantee it. ”

"Third brother, since you know who made this condiment. Then there is no reason why you can't get it. Why didn't the third brother directly recruit that Baiwei to the palace and let him be the imperial chef for his father. Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Ke couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "You fat boy is really bad enough to come up with such a bad idea in front of your father." ”

Now that Li Tai has spoken out, if Li Ke can't send Zhang Baiwei to the palace. I'm afraid it will make Li Shimin unhappy.

If you really do this, I am afraid that you will end up with a reputation of bullying others. This is also where Li Tai is insidious.

At this time, Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the side, spoke again: "The fourth brother's words are wrong, how can my father force others to enter the palace as cooks because of his own tongue?" ”

"If this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will have an impact on my father's reputation. How could my father agree to let the third brother do such a thing. ”

This Li Chengqian is really enough to help Li Ke today, no matter how Li Tai embarrasses Li Ke. Li Chengqian will do his best to help Li Ke deal with it.

But Li Shimin never said anything, as if all this had nothing to do with him. Let his three children argue with each other there.

"What the royal brother said is not right, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Being able to cook delicious food for his father is the highest honor of a chef. ”

"I don't know how many cooks in this world are willing to dedicate their lives to their father. Could he be an exception? Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.

"In fact, Zhang Baiwei's cooking skills may not be higher than that of the Imperial Chef of the Shang Food Bureau. All he relied on was these condiments. ”

"If my father is willing, my son can find a way to let Zhang Baiwei produce condiments in large quantities, which can meet the needs of the Shang Food Bureau."

"Second, it can also allow the people of the world to taste more delicious meals. It can be regarded as a good deed that my father has done for the people of the world," Li Ke said to Li Shimin.

Since Li Ke has said this, Li Shimin naturally can't stop talking. So he said to Li Ke: "I am naturally willing to do things that benefit the country and the people." ”

"But I don't think it's that simple. What exactly do you need me to do, you can tell me directly. ”

"I really let my father say it right, I want Zhang Baiwei to rest assured that he will contribute to the country and his father. Then it is necessary for the father to designate these condiments as special commodities. Like salt, it is not allowed to be sold privately. ”

"Businesses that sell condiments must be allowed and licensed by the imperial court. Otherwise, those who sell it without permission will be punished for the crime of smuggling salt. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't I give you the right to issue a license?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.

"The sons are busy with the saddle before and after the saddle for their father, how can the father not give it to the sons and daughters with this little power?" Li Ke said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"A small power? I am afraid that one day this small power will be the envy of everyone in the world. So you don't want to deceive me here. ”

"I can delegate power within your fiefdom to you. As for other places, I will appoint other officials. Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and said.

"Father, whoever earns a lot of money will earn it, and it's better for your son to earn than someone else." Li Ke said shamelessly to Li Shimin.

"This matter is settled, and I will go back to implement this matter after your wedding. Those condiments in the hands of the Shang Food Bureau will not last long. Li Shimin didn't care what Li Ke said, but directly decided the matter.

This couldn't help but make Li Ke show an aggrieved expression on his face, and he could only say to Li Shimin helplessly.

This made Li Tai on the side very happy, and now as long as it is something that makes Li Ke and Li Chengqian unhappy. For Li Tai, it is all a happy thing.

But Li Tai didn't notice that Li Shimin's gaze at him was a little more disappointed. On the contrary, he looked at Li Chengqian's gaze, but there was a little more gratification.

……

"Rebel, do you know how much trouble you have caused? If this goes on for a long time, my eldest grandson's family will have to be destroyed in your hands. ”

"Today I will break your legs, lest you go around and cause trouble." Eldest Sun Wuji glared angrily at Eldest Sun Lian, who was kneeling in front of him, and said.

The father was angry, and the child knew that he was wrong. The child promised that he would never mess around again in the future. I must study literature and martial arts well, and assist the prince's cousin in the future. The eldest grandson said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"With the way you look like a child, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look down on you?" Eldest Sun Wuji glared at Eldest Sun Jian and said.

"Father, when I rushed to Yongzhou Mansion yesterday. The prince's cousin has promised the child to serve in the prince's cousin's East Palace. The eldest grandson said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson Wuji put down the family law in his hand. Then he said: "Go down, don't live up to the expectations of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

This can make the eldest grandson happy, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye to the eldest grandson Wuji. Then he exited the study of the eldest grandson Wuji.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji said to himself: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken great pains to get my support. ”
