Li De instructed Su Wen to go to the most prosperous area of Chang'an to shop around to see if there were any shops that were closed or to be transferred, let him make his own ideas, as long as it was suitable, he would put it down, and when Li De conceived the dishes and style of the restaurant, he was ready to recruit personnel for training and work, during which Chen An led the craftsmen to modify according to the decoration style that Li De wanted.

"Tong Qing, how about those women," Li De

"The head of the family, I honestly haven't come out," Tong Qing replied

"Hmph, it's just whimsical, just keep it for a few days, except for those who eat and drink Lazar, and order other servants. Don't say a word to them. ”

"Yes"

"The master of the house, the furniture you built, the Emperor and His Majesty are very satisfied, and the Emperor Taishang also praised you for your filial piety, so let me bring a message, saying that you just came back, stay outside for a few days, look around, and have to go back to the palace, that is also your home." Tong Qing said happily.

Li De thought about it for a few days, and he should go back to the palace to see the old man, and by the way, ask the emperor how the preparations for fighting the Turks are going, he is a prince anyway, and he has to contribute.

"It's time to go back to the palace to see, what, you go and prepare, by the way, take the round table and copper pot I asked Chen An to make for me, and let's go back to the palace."

"Obey, the little one will prepare." Tong Qing turned around and went out.

Along the way, Li De's buttocks hurt by the shaking of the short saddle, and it was said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't find the shortcomings of this unilateral stirrup and short saddle when he beat the Huns? It is said that there were stirrups in the Han Dynasty, and that was just for the convenience of getting on the horse, and the knights mainly tightened the horse's belly with their legs to maintain balance, and it seems that I had to help get the stirrup, the horseshoe, and the Takahashi saddle, the three treasures of the cavalry. When the guards at the palace gate turned out to be the token handed over by Tong Qing, they let them in, Li Shimin must still be working at this time, and Li De went directly to Li Yuan's Taiji Palace.

Li Yuan was lying on the rocking chair sent by Li De, shaking and shaking, his eyes were half-squinted and half-awake, and the two palace maids were holding big fans and fanning them slowly behind him. Li Yuan's attendant eunuch was about to report to Li Yuan that Li De was coming, Li De took the first step to signal not to wake Li Yuan up, let him sleep well, and first arrange for someone to carry down the things in the carriage and send them to the Shangshi Bureau.

Li De sat next to Li Yuan, seeing that Li Yuan usually didn't seem to have any entertainment except for drinking and making people, since Li Shimin's throne became more and more stable, few people came to see Li Yuan. It's no wonder that he went there after two years, and he didn't even have time to live in the new palace that Li Shimin built for him. I have to have some fun for him, think about it, yes, or have mahjong, the old man has a lot of time, playing mahjong is a fun, and secondly, he won't get Alzheimer's. One billion people and nine billion hemp, the charm of the quintessence of the country cannot be stopped by ordinary people.

Li Yuan squinted for a while, feeling that there was someone next to him, so he opened his eyes and saw Li De sitting next to him with him, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, "Third child, can you still be free after being out of the palace for a few days?" ”

"Old man, it's very good, this Chang'an City is very prosperous, I haven't been familiar with it for a few days, I don't want you to be old, go into the palace to accompany you, I also brought good things, make sure you like it."

"You kid, you have a heart, and you brought something good to the old man. This rocking chair is good, good to sleep in. ”

"I'll go to the whole table later, and we'll have a good drink."

"Good. You hurry up, the old man can't wait,"

"You wait, I'll go, that Wang Quan, put the round table I brought inside, and arrange for the Shangshi Bureau to prepare. On the soup, green onions, ginger and garlic, sesame oil, pepper, pepper, cardamom, tangerine peel and salt, put more dogwood in a copper basin to prepare, and then wash the cabbage (Chinese cabbage), Bolene cabbage (spinach), okra, prepare more mutton and beef and cut them into thin slices and send them up. ”

Shang Shi Bureau, the "kitchen" in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, in the early years of the Sui Dynasty, the Shang Shi Bureau belonged to Menxia Province, Shang Shi quota of two people, with four food doctors, Tang Dynasty was subordinate to the palace of the province, Shang Shi two people, food doctors 8 people. The number of shameful products in the palm of the meal, where the food is eaten, the food is tasted first. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called the Imperial Dining Room.

Li De and Li Yuan were in the hall, drinking grape wine, talking about interesting things in the past few days while drinking, which made Li Yuan laugh from time to time, and the eunuch Wang Quan next to him was happy for Li Yuan, Li Yuan's spirit has improved a lot these days, and his mood is better with Li De by his side, no longer eating and drinking as hard as before, and he is depressed and unhappy all day long.

The palace people laid out all the dishes, Li De invited Li Yuan to the table, there is a big hole in the middle of the round table, put on the special copper pot and there is a carbon stove under the heating constantly, waiting for the soup to roll, Li De picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of mutton in the shabu shabu, put it in Li Yuan's bowl, Li Yuan tasted the taste, and was immediately filled with the taste buds of the rich soup and rich seasoning, and there was a fresh fragrance after being spicy. Immediately swallowed his stomach and immediately learned from Li De, picked up the mutton and beef as concocted, chopsticks one after another, and was not afraid of being hot, put it in his mouth after two shabus, and ate while sighing, Li De picked up the grape brew and clinked glasses with Li Yuan, and the two of them were very happy.

"Okay, the third child, I didn't go back to the palace to call the second brother, I ran to the Taiji Hall to eat something delicious with my father, but I didn't eat a grain of rice before dawn." Li Shimin didn't know when he appeared in Taiji Palace, and the eunuchs outside didn't dare to report it.

Li De said wrongly, "Blame me, I didn't think that you must have been busy with official business at that time, I won't let you delay state affairs, as the king of the Tang Dynasty, I can't let you abolish the public for personal reasons." ”

Li Shimin was about to kick, Li De hurriedly dodged the dishes and chopsticks to Li Shimin, Li Er didn't ask, picked up the chopsticks and went down to the pot to fish, regardless of the hot mouth, put it in the mouth, the one who eats is called grinning, and gave Li De a thumbs up empty-handed, saying that it is very good, one day is either steamed or boiled, and then baked, the Tang Dynasty eating method is really boring, even the best emperor who eats is also conquered by the fresh eating method. Don't forget to turn around and ask the eunuch to call the queen to come over and eat together. It's rare that the whole family is getting together.

Not long after the queen arrived, Li De hurriedly added dishes and chopsticks, taught the eldest grandson how to eat, after the eldest grandson took a bite, he also forgot the queen's manners, the family ate happily, the chopsticks in the pot flew up and down, and the palace people who passed the meal behind were busy, and kept adding side dishes.

Li Shimin wiped his mouth with a satisfied face, and asked Li De, "Third brother, you have been out for a few days, you can come to the next court meeting, the second brother is ready to announce your identity to the world, you are my Li family's species, and you also have your share in this world, second brother, I hope you can live in the sun and be free." ”

Li De was moved, speaking of which, Li Yuan and Li Shimin have always regarded him as a family since their resurrection, and they have given him whatever they want, Li De replied, "Second brother, don't worry, as a member of the Li family, I will take the responsibility of my prince, assist the second brother well, and let the glory of my Tang Dynasty shine on this land, so that the jackals around me dare not peep, and let all countries surrender!" ”

"Okay, third brother, second brother should work with you to create a prosperous dynasty that far surpasses the Qin and Han dynasties!" Li De and Li Shimin put their hands on their shoulders and jointly issued their strongest voice, a hundred years later, when Datang stood on top of the world, countless enemies and people prostrated under the light of Datang, so that the world witnessed their oath.

"Okay, okay, second brother, the third brother just returned to the palace, you let him be free for two more days, with your second brother here, what else does the third brother need to worry about, I see, the most important thing at the moment should be for the third brother, it is important to find the right family affair, you see that Chengqian is almost fifteen, and the third brother has not yet started a family." The eldest grandson said.

Li Yuan jumped up and said, "Yes, yes, what my daughter-in-law said is right, it doesn't matter if you don't have a family, the third child should have been married a long time ago, and if you give birth to a few grandchildren early, the old man can tease his grandchildren, and I don't care if you toss it in the future." ”

Li De said, "Dad, sister-in-law, I don't want to get married yet, and besides, this marriage also requires me to meet someone I like, otherwise I don't know how to live, I will talk about this later, and I will talk about it later," Hurry up and wave your hand, I have experienced the era of free love, and I want to experience the life of my parents now, and the words of the matchmaker are really not adaptable, and I can drag it first.

"What is this called, you see that my sister-in-law and I are not the order of our parents, we have always respected each other and have a very good relationship, okay, I am in charge, please ask the queen to look for it first, we are totaling the goal." Li Shimin was arbitrary.

"Okay, but let's say it first, if I don't like it, I won't take this kiss." Li De stiffened his neck and said.

"Okay, it's all up to you, okay" Li Shimin said helplessly.

"By the way, second brother, I went to buy slaves today and foresaw a strange thing, there was a Loulan princess mixed in the slaves and mixed into Chang'an, I heard her say that the Turks have been expanding westward, gathering population and materials, it seems that they are preparing for war, second brother, do we have preliminary preparations to fight against the Turks?" Li De said

"Oh~ There is this kind of thing, it seems that the Turks have sensed that I am ready to do something to them, hmph, back then, taking advantage of the emptiness of my Tang Dynasty, forced me to sign the Weishui Alliance, and emptied the treasury, in order to wash away this shame in recent years, I have been preparing in secret, training elite archers and cavalry, once the war starts, I am confident that I will win the battle." Li Shimin said angrily.

"It's good to be prepared, what's that, the second brother, the princess of Loulan is beautiful and captivating, although it is guilty of mixing into the Tang Dynasty, but it also brought Turkic news, you see this princess... Li De whispered to Li Shimin.

"Look at your virtue, say that you don't want to get married yet, and the co-author is to fall in love with Princess Loulan, but hasn't Loulan long since perished, where did Princess Loulan come from, isn't she a remnant of Shanshan?" Li Shimin scolded with a smile.

Li De joked, "Your Majesty the Emperor, you are really well-read and observant. ”

Li Shimin kicked over and scolded, "Get out." You guy, if you like it, you can deal with it yourself, but your concubine can't be her, you know no,"
