Jingwen finally fooled this Wei Zheng away, and Wei Zheng was also satisfied, and attached great importance to Jingwen, a younger generation. This is all Jingwen's sycophant, even Wei Zheng's guy has been photographed well. However, Jingwen also worked hard, and was immediately summoned to the palace by Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, what are you bothering Weichen?" Jingwen asked.

"This time, it's a good thing! Haven't you contracted a court banquet for ten years? In a few days, it will be the New Year, and I will give a banquet to the ministers according to the custom. And didn't you contract all the court feasts for ten years? So this time, of course, I will leave it to you to do it every day, but this time you have to give me some leisure! Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by being more leisurely?" Jingwen asked directly.

Li Shimin explained: "This New Year's feast, you have to make something new for me. In other words, you can't fall into the cliché, and the meaning should be good, and you can't spend too much money! Now that the imperial court is advocating frugality, if this feast costs too much, then what do you think? ”

Jingwen complained in his heart, this Li Shimin wants to save face and doesn't want to spend money. According to common sense, if you want to make something face-saving, it probably costs money. Otherwise, why is there a saying that money is spent to buy face? But Li Shimin just wants to break this strange circle, so that Jingwen can get face for Li Shimin without spending much money, make the ministers happy, and have a good meaning. Under this condition, I am afraid that only Jingwen, a later generation, can get it.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem, this matter is left to me!" Jingwen said.

Soon, Jingwen also returned to eating every day, and the chefs were closed for a few days. Because he wants to host the emperor's New Year's banquet, even the shareholder Xue Xue has no opinion, because as long as the New Year's banquet can be organized, the benefits will continue to come in the future, and Miss Xue Xue, who is the daughter of a businessman, can certainly see it clearly.

Within a few days, the New Year arrived, and the Shangshi Bureau in the palace was occupied by the chef who ate every day. They came in and took the place of the imperial chef to begin the feast. And the imperial chef doesn't have any opinions, because they have some shares in this daily diet, so they naturally don't care about this daily diet. The only thing that is not satisfied is Guanglu Temple. Guanglu Temple was originally to host this kind of palace banquet, but now it was robbed by a businessman, and they were very depressed.

At that time, the people of Guanglu Temple were not without objections, but Li Shimin blocked it back with a word. Li Shimin said that if Guanglu Temple can also come up with one million yuan, not only will it not give the banquet to outsiders, but it will also be regarded as a great achievement of Guanglu Temple. Although Guanglu Temple is the yamen of the imperial court, they are not responsible for making money, where can they get millions of dollars for cooking? Even if the household can't take it out, how can Guanglu Temple take it out? Therefore, the people of Guanglu Temple could only scold Emperor Li Shimin in their hearts for being a money fan, but there was nothing they could do.

Soon, all the ministers entered the Taiji Palace to receive this New Year's feast. And the emperor Li Shimin, who is the protagonist, should be the last to arrive, so the emperor Li Shimin did not come directly.

"The emperor has arrived!" A eunuch with a thin mouth shouted.

"I've seen the emperor!" Everyone saluted.

And Li Shimin came out, but everyone found that there was a young man beside Li Shimin, wearing a light cyan nine-grade official uniform with no embroidered lines. Everyone was very surprised that this guy was following the emperor. But it doesn't look like a eunuch, it should be a eunuch in the palace province.

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Li Shimin said.

Everyone sat down one after another, but according to the convention, it should be the emperor who said a few words first, and then began to eat. In fact, the emperor's banquet, don't really think that it is a meal, many emperor's banquets are not full. Because most of the emperor's banquet did not dare to really let go of eating, they all trembled, and all kinds of rules had to be taken care of, so who could eat enough!

"Everyone has also heard that this time I asked the restaurant outside to eat and drink every day to host this banquet, and they are all very good dishes. And this daily diet is invested by the imperial dining room and outside businessmen, and it can be regarded as half of the official industry. Li Shimin said this.

Li Shimin took Jingwen's one million yuan this time, of course, he had to say good things for Jingwen. From a certain point of view, Li Shimin's festival is still guaranteed at certain times. Except that there was no festival in Xuanwumen, other times were still full. Now that Li Shimin has money, he naturally wants to do a good job of this advertisement for Jingwen and publicly publicize this daily diet.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that handing over this kind of palace banquet to the outside businessmen is against the court etiquette law, and ......" A minister came out with a dark face.

When Jingwen saw this, he scolded secretly: "Wei Heizi, weren't we chatting quite happily at the time?" Why are you against me now? ”

This minister who admonished was Wei Zheng, the first poisonous tongue of the Tang Dynasty, although he did not succeed enough, he was very capable of ruining the good mood of others.

Li Shimin's face was also a little gray, this Wei Zheng was so unparticular about it, and he actually found fault with himself during the New Year's banquet. If it was another time, it would be understandable, but when you actually find fault with yourself at the New Year's banquet, isn't this a slap in the face?

However, at this time, an old minister actually stood up and said, "Secret Eunuch Wei, now is the time for the New Year's banquet, why do you care so much? Since this is the emperor's banquet, the emperor is naturally in charge, and we, as courtiers, should not talk too much. So, you don't have to say anything more? ”

And at this time, a large group of people got up and said: "Pei Jushangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is right, Secretary Wei, you don't need to say anything." ”

This Pei Ju seems to have a lot of appeal, and he immediately drove a large number of people to come over to "denounce" Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng saw that he was angry, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"Pei Ju? Minbu Shangshu? No wonder he spoke for me! Jingwen thought secretly.

This Pei Ju is the person who asked Jingwen Gang to publish books in the Western Regions last time, and he is also the Zongheng family. Now it is actually the book of the Ministry of Min, that is, the later book of the Ministry of Households. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of finances, and this time Li Shimin was given 1 million yuan in daily food, and of course he benefited the most from it, as a person who manages finances. In addition, Jingwen helped him publish books, so he helped Jingwen speak both publicly and privately.
