While Li Jiancheng was thinking about the situation in Lingnan, Chang'an's envoy Qin Cha also came to Langya:

"Oh! It's the father-in-law of the waning moon! I don't know if the father-in-law of the waning moon came to see what important will the emperor had? Wanyue nodded:

"Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take the order!" Li Jiancheng quickly knelt down:

"The son of the minister took the order. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Father-in-law Wanyue took out a holy decree from his bosom:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: My son Li Jiancheng has been away from home for a long time, I have my thoughts, and now I specially sent the imperial eunuch Wanyue to inform him, and ordered the prince Li Jiancheng to return to the court as soon as possible after receiving the holy decree, with the love of our father and son, and the righteousness of the monarch and ministers! Chin this! Shane! ”

"The retainers take the order!" After Li Jiancheng kowtowed, after receiving the holy decree, he made a gesture to the father-in-law of the waning moon.

"My father-in-law is tired of saddle horses all the way, please take a break from my father-in-law, and the palace will arrange a banquet for my father-in-law, pick up the wind for my father-in-law, wash the dust, my father-in-law please!"

"Ahh Then please disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Li Jiancheng put on a sumptuous banquet:

"Come, come, come! Father-in-law, please! Wanyue thinks that she has gone through the former Sui to Li Tang, experienced two imperial courts, and waited for three generations of emperors, but when she saw the dishes on the table, Wanyue still showed an expression of amazement:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is ......"

"Father-in-law! This is a remote country, I can't take out any good things to honor you, these rural coarse food, please don't dislike it. When Father-in-law Wanyue saw the dishes on this table, he said in his heart - this is still food in the countryside, this is simply a beautiful scenery in the world! The father-in-law of the waning moon picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and said with admiration:

"Ahh This is made with tofu. Li Jiancheng nodded:

"What my father-in-law said is right, my father-in-law must have eaten a lot of delicacies in Chang'an Mountain, and ordinary dishes must not be able to enter my father-in-law's mouth. This palace makes people search all over the Qilu countryside, and I heard that there is a cook in the countryside of Langya who is known as the god knife tofu hand, and this person is unique in the world in tofu cooking! Ordinary people can only fry and cook tofu, but this person can carve tofu into people, animals, and pavilions, which are lifelike. ”

"Oh! Then we must take a look! Li Jiancheng nodded and said:

"Good! Then ask your father-in-law to enjoy this table first, and then ask your father-in-law to move. ”

"Oh! No need, our family is curious now, is this banquet? We'll come back and eat again! Li Jiancheng led the father-in-law of Wanyue to a house, and a slightly chubby cook-like person came to Li Jiancheng and father-in-law of Wanyue:

"The villain sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Lord."

"You're the chef who claims to be the tofu magic knife!?"

"Yes, sir!" Wanyue nodded.

"Good! We're here to see your tofu carving miracles! You're here to show your hand for our family! The cook saluted to the Remnant Moon and replied:

"Okay! Please father-in-law stand at the window, villain I need to be in the house to do it! "Father-in-law of the waning moon felt that he had been slighted:

"What, are you still afraid that our family will steal your family heirloom and become extinct?" The Divine Knife Tofu Hand immediately knelt in front of Li Jiancheng and Father-in-law Wanyue:

"Ahh The villain has no intention of despising His Highness and the Lord! Please forgive your Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Your Excellency! Li Jiancheng smiled and explained to the father-in-law of the waning moon:

"Father-in-law! Don't mind, this person also said this request to this palace at the beginning, in fact, it is not that this person is afraid of others stealing the teacher, but this skill needs to be completed in the dark, and it cannot be disturbed, please forgive me! After hearing Li Jiancheng's explanation, Father-in-law Wanyue nodded:

"Hmmm! Since that's the case, we won't pursue it, well! You can carve a tofu statue with tofu in the same way as our family! After the remnant moon father-in-law finished speaking, he motioned for the divine knife tofu hand to walk into the house. I saw that there were some faint lights in this room, and there was a large water tank full of water, and the magic knife tofu hand picked up a piece of water tofu from the table, put the water tofu in the water tank, picked up a knife and carved it in it, and after a while. As if he had finished his hand, he took out the tofu from the water tank and walked out of the house. Holding a tofu statue on the plate with both hands, he respectfully handed it to Li Jiancheng and Father-in-law Wanyue:

"Please enjoy the view of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and your lordship." The father-in-law of the waning moon took the plate of tofu in his hand and watched it carefully, only to see that the tofu on the plate was lifelike, just like a real person, and the father-in-law of the waning moon could be majestic. Father-in-law Wanyue was very happy to see it, took out a small piece of gold from his body, and threw it to the Divine Sword Tofu Hand:

"Ahh Take it! ”

"Thank you, two adults!" Father-in-law Wanyue smiled at Li Jiancheng and said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is really worth the trip for the slave maid to come here today, it is an eye-opener!"

"Hahaha! Such crude skills made my father-in-law laugh. In fact, the most wonderful dish of tofu knife work is the dish carved from tofu in the shape of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest refers to the period of the Three Kingdoms period (240-249), when Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shantao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Wang Rong and Ruan Xian were known as the Seven Sages. The tofu knife worker carved these seven people vividly, and the layout is also very appropriate. ”

"Oh! Then we must appreciate and appreciate it. ”

"Father-in-law, this knife will work for a long time, it will take time, not overnight, please forgive me."

"Ahh It doesn't matter! It's a feast for the eyes to be able to see such knife work today. Your Royal Highness the Prince, we haven't finished our table yet, so let's continue to eat now! ”

"Good! Father-in-law, please! At the banquet, Li Jiancheng slowly knew what was going on? It turned out that after Li Yuan received Li Jiancheng's two rules, he fell into deep thought, and Li Yuan also felt that the time had come to pacify Jianghuai as Li Jiancheng said, but he was worried about the selection of generals to enter Jianghuai. As we all know, Li Yuan has always been taboo about the collapse of the former Sui Dynasty, so he vigorously supported the Li Tang clan, and there were only a few people who were the best at fighting in the Li Tang clan - the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qin Li Shimin, the king of Qi Li Yuanji, the king of Zhao Li Yuanba, the king of Hejian Li Xiaogong, the king of Huai'an Li Shentong, the king of Lujiang Li Ming, the king of Huaiyang Li Daoxuan, and the princess of Pingyang Li Xiuning and a few others. Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan is dead, don't mention it, judging from the rules of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the prince has completely withdrawn from the matter of conquering Jianghuai, Qin King Li Shimin has had some pimples in his heart since he resisted the decree, plus what Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, did in the north of Qilu River, the ministers of the family who were born in Qilu Hebei have long had some complaints about the two of them, if they lead the troops to Jianghuai again, Li Yuan believes, The ministers of the Jiangnan family headed by Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda will be the first to oppose it, and Li Yuan's current identity is no longer a local warlord or a family lord, but the Tang Emperor who is about to enter Jiangnan and achieve the great cause of Li Tang's unification. Li Yuan couldn't ignore the reaction of the Jiangnan clan. Moreover, Jiangnan is especially headed by Yangzhou, because it is Yang Guang's dragon land, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he increased his support for Yangzhou, and slowly formed a situation where half of the world's taxes went out of Jiangnan. There is another important reason - after many years of chaos in the north, the city is dilapidated, the people are displaced, and in addition to Du Fuwei and Fugongtuo in the south of the Yangtze River, there are very few wars and the market is prosperous. In the future, a large amount of materials will be provided for the reconstruction of Li Tang. Li Yuan's eyes lingered on the names of Li Yuanba, King of Zhao, Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian, Li Shentong, King of Huai'an, Li Ying, King of Lujiang, and Li Xiuning, Princess of Pingyang. The first to be excluded is the princess of Pingyang Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning since Liu Wuzhou's failure to defect to the Turks, Li Xiuning has returned to Chang'an to recuperate, coupled with the continuous stability of Guanzhong, Li Yuan is also unwilling to show up on the battlefield with Queen Dou's only daughter, in case there is something missing, Li Yuan himself feels shameless to see Queen Dou underground. Zhao Wang Li Yuanba is not good, these years, Zhao Wang Li Yuanba has been stationed in Longxi, guarding against the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks, ensuring the safety of Li Tang's trade routes with the Western Regions, and has never intervened in the Central Plains War, the Zhao King Li Yuanba was transferred from Longxi, Li Yuan's heart was a little uneasy, Huai'an King Li Shentong is not good, Huai'an King Li Shentong and Qin King Li Shimin are too close, at the beginning, Li Yuan issued an order, let Li Shentong let Luoyang Xue family ancestral residence out, as a result, Li Shentong did not let the Qin King Edict first, this pimple, Li Yuan has not been unraveled, and sent Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, to Jianghuai, which is no different from Li Shimin. Only Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, and Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, remained. Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also walked too close, and Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, and Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, also walked close. Thinking of this, Li Yuan's head hurt again. Therefore, he issued an order to the father-in-law of the waning moon beside him:

"Wanyue, you work hard again. Spread my will, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince return to Chang'an as soon as possible, with the father-son relationship between Quan and the Prince, and the righteousness of the monarch and the minister! ”

"Yes!" After the father-in-law of the waning moon left, Li Yuan said to himself:

"Li Jiancheng, this problem you gave me will be solved by you!" In Chang'an City, in Li Xiaogong's mansion, Li Xiaogong also got Li Jiancheng from the palace to play to the emperor, hoping that Li Tang would take advantage of the opportunity to pacify Qilu in Hebei Province and immediately wave the Jianghuai and dominate the world. Just by virtue of the identity of the Li Tang clan to obtain wealth, who knows, Lujiang King Li Ming followed the crown prince Li Jiancheng to pacify Jingchu and appease the people of Jingchu, for a while, Chang'an praised the virtuous king Li Ming everywhere, and himself, following the Qin King Li Shimin to conquer Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin After losing his strength, Chang'an's original praise for himself is now looking at himself, as if he saw a fly, and avoided from afar, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, was unwilling.

"This pacification of Jianghuai is the last battle for my Li Tang to unify the Central Plains, and this king must seize this opportunity." Li Xiaogong, the king of the river, said to himself.
