Chapter 611 Laba porridge invented by Li Liulang

When the time for the Son of Heaven to abdicate the throne to the crown prince entered the final countdown, he had all given way to the side. Although there are still people talking about the story of the three princes who went to the Yushitai to drink tea before, what people are most concerned about at present is whether this abdication will come to an abrupt end at the last juncture, whether Emperor Li will simply retire after that, and whether Empress Wu and Xinjun will go to court together...... And among the many problems, there is one of the most critical places.

That is whether the crown prince's body can afford the heavy responsibility of the next emperor!

Judging from the official information of the Imperial Doctor's Office, the prince's physical condition is optimistic because he is still young; However, judging from all kinds of gossip, the situation is undoubtedly debatable - according to reliable sources in the East Palace, in addition to sleeping, the crown prince needs at least three hours of bed rest every day, and such a new monarch ascending the throne is not much better than Emperor Li today's death?

Since there are a lot of worried people, then they need the correct role of public opinion guidance in the political affairs hall. As a result, Shangguanyi, the chief prime minister, almost fell down tired, and Pei Xingjian, who had just ascended the throne of prime minister, deeply felt for the first time what the difference between being a prime minister and leading troops to fight. It was easy to lead the troops like an arm, but it was not so easy for the prime minister to command the officials, and after three days, he felt more tired than fighting a big battle with thousands of beheadings.

No wonder Yongwang Li Xian often finds excuses to ask for leave, this prime minister is really not done by people!

The rule of the Tang Dynasty is that the prime minister has everything in order, so except for the title of Sanpin under the Tongzhong Shumen, there is no other messy name for knowing something, which also makes the prime minister noble. Therefore, Pei Xingjian, who has just entered the political hall, in addition to taking on the responsibilities of the prime minister, is also in charge of personnel work with Li Jingxuan. And for such a fat shortage. Someone in the know once exclaimed that Empress Wu was crazy - where is the reason why this personnel appointment and dismissal power is in the hands of the enemy?

Only Li Xian knows that although his father has only been out of the lead once in so many days, in addition to announcing that he is inferior to the crown prince, he has done a lot of things, such as Pei Xingjian's work arrangement and the like. Of course, this has no conflict with Li Xian, in fact, he has the ability to make peace with the mud, although the six prime ministers in the political hall now seem to be working together. But in fact, there are many factions, but he can not shy away from running to anyone's house to drink.

There is heavy snow in the lunar month, and the winter subsidies and various subsidies of the imperial court, including charcoal and rice, have long been in place, and everyone can spend a winter fat and beautiful - even if the officials of the Tang Dynasty are not corrupt and take bribes, most of them can live a very comfortable life. However, at this time, not many people dared to show off the Shengge Wind Music, because the funeral of the British Gong Li Ji was still being handled.

Because Li Ji belongs to a high-ranking official. And he was the founder of the country in the early years, so he occupied the place of accompanying the burial of Zhaoling early. And because Emperor Li attaches great importance to Li Ji. Therefore, after his death, the specifications were once again carefully instructed - to raise the mound like Yin Mountain, Iron Mountain, and Wude Mountain, in order to break the Turks and Xue Yantuo. As for why Liaodong was not added, it was because he wanted to avoid Taizong's secrecy - Taizong regretted that he could not level Goguryeo, and he could not let his courtiers show their merits in front of the emperor's mausoleum.

Not only that, Emperor Li originally wanted to go to the door in person to pay tribute, but in the end he was persuaded by the Empress Wu because of his eye disease, but the Empress Wu came to the door in person with the dignity of the Queen of Heaven. As for the other courtiers who came to pay their respects, they were almost in the four figures, and many of them were old ministers who had been promoted by Li Ji in the past.

Thereupon. The snow is flying in the sky, the white flags are fluttering on the ground, and before you know it, you have arrived at Laba. Although there is no allusion to Laba porridge in these years, Li Xian is unwilling to let go of such a lively scene. At the same time, I want to liven up the atmosphere. Since Li Ji's death, Li Jingye, the eldest grandson, needless to say, Cheng Bohu has been gloomy all day long. Therefore, he made up his mind to let everyone lift their spirits, so he called everyone together and concocted Laba porridge himself, although there was no Laba Festival in this year.

Red beans, mung beans, flower beans, fruits, rice kernels, green beans, wolfberries, raisins, lotus seeds, peanuts, longan, water chestnut rice, glutinous rice, rice, black rice, millet, rock sugar...... When dozens of raw materials rolled in the pot, emitting bursts of sweet fragrance, even Cheng Bohu, who was unimpressed at first, sniffed vigorously and gave Li Xian a thumbs up.

"I didn't think you could cook!"

Li Xian shrugged his shoulders, and said in his heart I still have countless skills that you haven't seen, but my eyes swept over the two vacant seats, and I couldn't help but sigh. This Li Jingye is in filial piety, even if he wants to drag people out to relax, he can't ignore filial piety; As for Qu Tu Zhongxiang, not to mention, he took so many people to Tianzhu but didn't have any news, which made him wonder if he was too nonsense.

The change in his eyes and others didn't pay attention, but Qu Tushenruo saw it, so he couldn't help it

glanced at the seat that Qu Tu Zhongxiang usually occupied. Her sister used to be unaccustomed to Qu Tu Zhongxiang's laziness and carelessness, but now that her younger brother suddenly has the ambition to work outside, she feels even more uneasy, and subconsciously even hopes that he didn't take over that matter at the beginning.

The sweet laba porridge was filled with a bowl of people's hands, and they were full of praise after tasting it - the reason is very simple, these people are from rich and noble families on weekdays, and they say that this mess of beans and grains, and the rice they eat can be said to be fine, which feels fresh once in a while. Cheng Bohu, who had a large amount of food, drank the Sanhai bowl in one go, and didn't stop until his stomach was shaking and swaying, and he suddenly sighed as soon as he wiped his mouth: "It would be nice if Jingye and Zhongxiang were also here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, and he glimpsed Xue Dingshan's face gloomy, Li Xianqu suddenly Shenruo's face was stiff, he wanted to play a round but couldn't find a stubble, so he could only scratch his head helplessly there.

At this moment, the door was suddenly hurriedly pushed open, and everyone saw Huo Huaien who was overjoyed. Without waiting for others to ask, he presented a letter with both hands: "Your Highness, Qu Tu Gongzi has sent a letter!" ”

For such an unexpected good news, everyone who was sitting in front of the charcoal stove stood up suddenly. In particular, Li Xian stepped forward in three or two steps, grabbing the letter before he had time to say a word. Unwrapped the scroll in one go, he unfolded it to see the payment first, and saw that it was April this year, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then thought that there were no planes, trains, and ships in these years, and the fastest was animal power, and from so far away, he could only entrust the business traveler to the Western Regions and then transfer to Chang'an.

Qu Tu Zhongxiang probably wrote this letter when he first arrived in Tianzhu, and the content on it was concise and to the point, nothing more than saying that the road was safe and everything went well, and other old sayings, without mentioning any topics such as hardships and hardships. After Li Xian read it, he handed it to Qu Tu Shenruo first, and only after it was passed in everyone's hands did he sigh.

"Alas, this kid has also learned to report good news and not bad news, although there is someone to take care of him this way, he must have suffered a lot! It's that place in Tianzhu, where is it so easy to gain a foothold? ”

"He said it's okay, everyone just treat him as if he's okay!" Qu Tushen re-tied the scroll and put it aside, and slapped it gently, "It is the greatest joy that he can have a letter, everyone should relax!" Since Brother Huo is here, let's sit down and drink a bowl of porridge together, and also try Liulangdi's craftsmanship! ”

Her words turned quickly, and Hugh said that the other people in the room did not react for a while, even Huo Huaien's mind did not turn around immediately, and he was stunned for a while before hurriedly refusing to excuse himself. However, Li Xian, who had come back to his senses, would not let people go, and went up to close the door and sit down in person, and Cheng Bohu had already hurriedly filled a bowl of porridge and handed it over.

Huo Huaien couldn't, thanked him and took two sips, and immediately laughed: "Hey, when I was poor in Hexi, I used to boil all kinds of mixed beans together, and it tastes like this!" You are all rich and noble, why do you think about this poor family's land? Of course, poor families can't afford sugar, except that beans are beans, but they are not as delicious as this soft glutinous! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone stared at Li Xian, as if they were thinking about how such a rich man as him could do such a thing. As a result, under such a blazing gaze, Li Xian almost shouted out a bittersweet memory, but fortunately, he remembered that he really had nothing to recall, so he hurriedly smiled and ate a bowl by himself.

Laba porridge was originally invented by the poor, and he just used it to gather a number of people to have a good time. Calculating the time, the pots of Laba porridge that were sent to Li's house should have arrived about the same - if the inventor of Laba porridge knew about the countless local methods of keeping warm in order to send a few pots of porridge, he would probably be stunned.

As he expected, Li Jingyou and Li Jingzhen were very puzzled by Li Xian's behavior of sending goose feathers thousands of miles away, only Li Jingye, who came after hearing the news, looked extremely strange after seeing a pot full of steaming porridge, and then a smile flashed.

"Don't live up to Rokuro's kindness, you invite your uncle and them together, let's eat together!"

Although he was confused, Li Jingyou and Li Jingzhen still summoned the rest of the Li family who wore linen and filial piety. When they heard that Li Xian specially sent porridge on a cold day, most people were surprised, but when they drank the hot porridge, they always felt that it was appropriate. Sending goose feathers thousands of miles is not for the sake of courtesy?

So, on the day of Laba, Li Xian just tried a small knife and put forward a suggestion, and Yongwangdi's kitchen was busy for a whole afternoon - the people who received the "friendship" of sending goose feathers for thousands of miles were far more than Li Jingye's family, among them, there were those who appreciated, those who were confused, those who were happy, and those who were embarrassed...... All kinds of life are all in a pot of insignificant Laba porridge.
