The winter night of Chang'an, come very early, the tourists from afar and the exotic traders do not seem to have a good taste of this prosperous world, sunset and dusk, with the bursts of bells, the city gate, the street gate, the square gate, one by one closed, the noisy day of Chang'an, once again revealed its quiet, gentle side.

As soon as the doors of the street are closed, that is, the curfew begins, you can't hang around casually, lest you be taken by the meritorious warriors, unless you have a special pass.

There is one exception, no need for a pass, no matter where you go, there is no obstruction, this person is the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, the current emperor: Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

The sky has just ended, the closed palace door "squeaked" opened, first a team of fierce Jin Zhiwu in front of the road, then the guard of honor, the palace maid, the carriage, etc., since Li Er led the eldest grandson queen, Yang Concubine, Prince Li Chengqian, Wei King Li Tai, Wu King Li Ke, Jin King Li Zhi, Princess Yuzhang, Princess Changle and a line of more than a dozen people, mighty to Liu Yuan's house.

Go for the "fishtail feast".

"Your Majesty, if we have so many people going and not inform us in advance, will this be a bit inappropriate?" Empress Eldest Sun, who was sitting next to Li Er, said a little funny.

This emperor, for some reason, is so happy today, he is still childlike, and he makes a surprise attack, a six-grade official's "fishtail banquet", and he actually works to mobilize the people, the emperor and queen, the prince, the prince, the princess, the princess, add up to more than ten, the king of a country, and secretly threaten to say to himself, saying something about "eating big households", which makes the eldest grandson queen a little funny.

Although it is not uncommon for a concubine, prince or princess to go to the banquet to liven up the atmosphere, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize the crowd like this, and the whole family goes out together.

It's a bit like when you don't have a big business. The feeling of visiting relatives and friends in Taiyuan New Year, but this feeling, since you became the royal family, has changed its taste, some are just friends of monarchs and ministers, less blood friendship, and her husband is the son of heaven, and he usually puts his mind on political affairs, it is rare that he is as happy as today, and the eldest grandson queen will accompany him "absurd" once. Give Liu Yuan a surprise attack.

The eldest grandson queen has thought about it, a big family, disturb the kid named Liu Yuan, and give more rewards later.

Li Er said with a smile: "Although he is only a six-grade petty official, he has helped me put down a few big stones in my heart. Lately, I've even been feeling sweet when I sleep, you say. Such talents. Can I not pay attention to it? ”

"Oh, and such talents?" Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but ask.

"This is not bad, with his dedication, his henchmen are in great trouble, and there is no advantage over Datang, according to my speculation. Nine times out of ten, the three strategies to fill the treasury were also from him, so that sending troops, building the Daming Palace to honor the emperor, and rectifying the floods of the Yellow River could be carried out at the same time. I won't care about one or the other, you say, can I not pay attention to such talents? After Li Er finished speaking, he said with a little regret:

"If I had discovered such a talent earlier, I would have recruited him as a colt, where would it be the turn of the Cui family's Tian Shenu?"

Li Er wants to take power, but the power of the family is great, and he has tried several times and failed, the four realms are not peaceful, and the four Yi have not surrendered, and they still need the support and cooperation of the family, so they can only slowly figure it out, in front of others, that is Aiqing, the pillar of the country is commensurate, but in front of his wife, Li Er does not have to hide his emotions, and directly scolds them for being Tian Shenu, and the eldest grandson queen persuaded them a few times to no avail, so he had to give up.

Hearing Li Er's exclamation, Empress Changsun still didn't comment on political affairs as always, but just smiled: "That's God bless the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor is blessed with great blessings, so these talents are used by the emperor." ”

Seeing that the queen was not interested in political affairs, Li Er smiled and said, "Queen, in fact, you have also heard of this Liu Yuan." ”

"Is there one?"

Li Er smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the three very difficult pairs I told you last time?" It's from his hand, by the way, last time the seventieth birthday of Mrs. Cui Wang's family, there was a young man who didn't make a poem to make Cui's field slaves angry, he made it, well, I remember, Mrs. Cui is not a person, and the nine-day fairy went down to earth. All sons were born thieves, and they stole immortals to offer their mothers. ”

These two things are very famous, at that time, they were passed down among the high-ranking officials and celebrities, and even Li Er heard about it, and then told the eldest grandson that for a while, the two who thought they were not low in talent also searched for dry intestines and wanted to find the three pairs.

"Ah, it's him?" Empress Eldest Sun was taken aback, and then said thoughtfully: "In this way, that Liu Yuan is really a talent, and this Cui family is really discerning."

Li Er nodded and said: "Although the background is low, but the background is also innocent, this kind of talent has to be honed well before he can become successful, this time to send troops, I plan to let him go to the front line to experience." ”

Liu Yuan stood at the door, looked out, the street was quiet, except for the four Wuhou who had just patrolled, there was no one in the figure, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious: Didn't Li Er say that he came to taste the "fishtail banquet"? It's dark now, why haven't you come yet?

The cold dishes have been arranged, the ingredients for the hot dishes have also been prepared, arranged on the board one by one, and the two chefs are on standby, and they only need to give an order to stir-fry the dishes immediately.

"Steward Cui, when does this emperor usually arrive?" Liu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I don't know." Cui Afu said a little helplessly: "The emperor is used to going to the banquet after handling government affairs, sometimes he comes before the door is closed, and sometimes it is not strange to come in the middle of the night, aunt, it's useless to be in a hurry, let's wait slowly." ”

Oh, Liu Yuan nodded, didn't say anything, when someone else is a monarch and he is a minister, he has to unconditionally abide by his living habits.

"Steward Cui, are the drinks and dishes ready? Daisie, have you squeezed all the juice I asked you to make? After waiting for a while, Liu Yuan was a little uneasy and needed to confirm again.

Cui Afu hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, the old slave of wine and vegetables have been personally checked, and there will be no problem, and before closing the door, I also sent someone to Cui's mansion and borrowed a set of silver tableware, including silver plates, silver bowls, silver chopsticks and other things, so that the emperor can eat with peace of mind." ”

Silver, when poisoned, it will change color, use silver tableware to eat and serve vegetables, to eliminate the possibility of poisoning, it can indeed make people eat very safely, like those who walk the rivers and lakes all year round. He also likes to carry a few silver needles for self-defense, in case someone is poisoned.

Dai Lisi also responded: "Young master, the juice is all squeezed, and you can enjoy it at any time." ”

Well, yes, now the windows are bright and clean, and the lights are bright, although this house is a little simpler, but it is also in line with your identity.

'Tread' 'Tread' 'Tread'

The three of them were chatting when they suddenly saw two officers wearing bright armor. Riding a tall horse from a distance, behind the two of them, followed by two teams of brightly armored Imperial Forest Army, ran until they reached Liu Qian's house, without saying a word. Then they surrounded the house tightly, and then they stood one after the other. Stand still.

Liu Yuan, Cui Afu and Dai Qisi looked at each other. There is only one thought in my heart: Li Er is coming.

"Steward Cui, you go and ask the kitchen to start cooking, by the way, that live fish with bran vinegar should be made at the last moment, if it is done early, the taste will not be authentic."

Liu Yuan guessed. Although it was Li Eryue who personally sealed it, and promised to come to taste the "fishtail banquet", in fact, it was only because of the face of the Cui family in Qinghe that he came, just imagine. There are so many officials in the Tang Dynasty, how can Li Er be willing to condescend to come to a small house like his own? Nine times out of ten, he is ready to send troops to Tufan, and once he sends troops, he will definitely have the support of the family, fight cattle across the mountains, and show favor to the Qinghe Cui clan, the head of the corporal clan in the world.

There are so many pieces to change, and there are still so many beauties in the harem to be pampered, how long can you stay here? It is estimated that coming here by myself is just going through the motions, so I told the old housekeeper to let the kitchen prepare the meal immediately to save time.

"Yes, aunt, the little one will go right away." When Cui Afu heard this, he immediately took the order and left.

Liu Yuan waited at the door for about a quarter of an hour, and finally saw a large group of people, who were coming in the direction of his house, and saw that the guard of honor was still in the direction of his house, needless to say, the emperor was there in person.

Li Er is finally here.

On such a large scale, Liu Yuan just glanced at it, and couldn't help but be surprised: from a distance, the palace lamps used for lighting stretched for hundreds of meters, the palace maids, guards, and the royal forest army added up to hundreds of people, and there were more than ten carriages, and the team was extremely large.

Liu Yuan secretly exclaimed in his heart, thinking that the emperor is the emperor, such a big battle, in fact, it is just a light meal, from the palace to Shengyefang, in fact, the distance is not far, can you use so many people? It is estimated that this is the way to drive, so as to show the majesty of the emperor's family.

Then, Liu Yuan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, looking at the carriages behind him, and his saliva flowed: Can a person use so many carriages? The latter ones, it won't be a reward, I heard that when Li Er was fighting the country, he was very generous to the meritorious people under him, and the spoils of war after the city was broken, the golden beauties, most of them were rewarded to his subordinates, buying people's hearts, looking at Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Shubao's batch of generals who were so rich that they knew that they were very rich, which is why he launched the Xuanwu Gate, there was basically nothing abnormal in the army, and many soldiers were ecstatic and shouted Long live.

He solved the frightening "curse" of Tufan for him, and enriched the treasury, and then personally trained him carefully, to be honest, any one of them is a great merit, and the most reluctant is just a six-grade petty official who does not enter the stream, which is seriously inconsistent with military merits.

Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and his eyes became hot: Is it possible, Li Er felt that he was treating himself badly, rewarding too much, and he was afraid that Wei Heizi would admonish them, so he took this opportunity to quietly send gold and silver, silk, rare antiques, ginseng or something to himself, but with Li Er's character of picking the door, the gold, silver and jewelry are estimated to be a little hanging, forget it, my brother is not a picky person, so I will give you anything.

Hey, I don't know if the warehouse can fit it.

Thinking about it, Liu Yuan still knelt down honestly outside the door according to Steward Cui's teachings, and when the team came, the eunuch shouted "The emperor has arrived", and shouted loudly: "Weichen Liu Yuan, welcome the emperor's arrival." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch continued to shout loudly:

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived"

"His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived"

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has arrived"

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived"

"Princess Yuzhang has arrived"

"Princess Qinghe has arrived"

Not only Liu Yuan, but also the subordinates who knelt with Liu Yuan, were all stunned.

What is this all about, Li Er is here, the eldest grandson queen is here, like a prince, a prince, a princess or something, why did so many people come at once?

Liu Yuan seemed to be unable to turn his brain all of a sudden, his eyes were straight, and his whole body froze. (To be continued.) )
