Mo Yan, who had not spoken on the side, was a little unhappy, and walked to Li Shimin's side carefully, "Your Majesty, can you give me a taste?" ”

Li Shimin remembered the cause of this gambling contract and looked at it a little angrily, and the thumb he just raised was also put away, now the Mo family is a very important part of the Ministry of Industry, and the erudition of the Mo family has made the entire Ministry of Industry look new, and every time the Ministry of Industry can bring good news to Li Shimin, it is not a good thing to let the heart go.

But the things that Xiangxin offered this time are indeed very important, the importance of food does not need to be said too much, and the expedition to Goryeo requires a lot of grain and grass, the so-called three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, with this thing, the expedition to Goryeo can start to prepare within five years.

Li Shimin handed the mashed potatoes in his hand to Mo Yan, Mo Yan tasted it carefully, combined with what he said before, this thing can be used as a staple food, roughly understood these things, knelt down and kowtowed to Xiangxin and said: "Satisfied son, I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and please have a lot of them." ”

Chengxin hurriedly picked up Mo Yan, "At this time, I am sorry for your family, I made this bet to let His Majesty give marriage, you and your old man have a good talk, how is this matter turned over." ”

Mo Yan got up and nodded his head when he heard this, Li Shimin was also very happy to see the end of this matter, "Satisfaction, what are the requirements for the planting of this thing, can you arrange for it to be planted again immediately, so that they can become more." ”

Satisfied nodded, and then beckoned Uncle Liu, who was already waiting on the side, "Your Majesty, I have handed over all the planting of this thing to Uncle Liu, but Chang'an is about to be winter, and this thing can only grow in late spring, summer and early autumn. ”

Li Shimin nodded, "Okay, Li Junxian, you go and arrange this matter, you have to send heavy troops to guard it, is there anyone else in the old man's house?" ”

Uncle Liu said tremblingly: "There is also a son in the family, who is in Xiaomu Village outside Chang'an City, working as a farmer at home. ”

Li Shimin nodded, "Tomorrow, I will have someone pick up your son into the city, find him an errand in the East Palace, and you can go to Jiangnan with peace of mind!" ”

Uncle Liu hurriedly knelt down to thank him, looked at Li Shimin with satisfaction, but his eyes changed and changed, and he looked at Li Chengqian again, thinking Who are you stupid Bai Tian.

Li Chengqian was still stupidly watching the excitement, and heard Li Shimin say: "Satisfaction, in addition to the marriage gift, you also need other rewards." ”

He waved his hand and said no, but he remembered the gambling contract with Li Tao, "Your Majesty, please send someone to read the holy decree and talk to General Li when he can voluntarily marry his daughter to me, if it really becomes a family, it won't be good!" ”

Li Shimin nodded and looked at him with some puzzlement, thinking that this is it? But since he was satisfied with his heart, he didn't say much more, and he didn't rush to reward him. Li Shimin, who was satisfied, was about to leave, but suddenly saw the red chili pepper again, Li Shimin asked with some displeasure: "What is this?" Why didn't you tell me! ”

Xiangxin hurriedly walked over, "Your Majesty, this thing is just a condiment, not a staple food, please forgive your Majesty, this thing is too little, and it also needs to be planted again, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it this year." ”

Li Shimin nodded, then glanced at Li Junxian and left the East Palace, Li Junxian understood what he meant, beckoned the people of the East Palace, took away the two piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and left none of them, looking at the Liu Uncle who was taken away, he couldn't help but wave at him and said: "Uncle Liu, when the peppers are ready, I will let people send you the seeds, you can take care of me!" ”

Xiao Lizi looked at Uncle Liu, who was reused, and couldn't help but sigh, "Satisfaction, when you said that you would get Uncle Liu a half-official position, I thought you were joking, but now it seems that this thing has been done, don't forget my brother if there is anything good in the future!" ”

Xiangxin looked at the little plum with the thief's eyebrows on the side, and patted his head, "Yours are indispensable, isn't Brother Liang's pork about to be slaughtered, wait and see, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking after this matter is done, by the way, tell Yulong about this, tell her that the emperor is about to make a holy decree!" ”

Xiao Lizi glanced at Li Chengqian, and when he saw that he didn't react, he immediately went out of the palace to deliver the message.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh, "It's a great achievement to satisfy you, why didn't your father ask you what reward you wanted just now?" ”

Chengxin smiled, "What is the difference between what I say and what I don't say, my heart is not above this temple, since this thing is dug up in the East Palace, no matter who the credit is, you will always have a share, I will always count it on your head if I want more or less, you still have to think about the spring season!" ”

Li Chengqian was still thinking about how his father would be rewarded tomorrow morning, but when he heard the matter of the spring festival mentioned by Chengxin, he couldn't help but ask: "You don't really think that my father will let me be the chief examiner, do you?" ”

Xiangxin was a little tired, shaking his head as he walked to his room, ignoring Li Chengqian's words.

At noon the next day, the three of them were fighting the landlord boringly, "Two princes, take off!" Wuhu! ”

looked at the two people who were reluctantly holding copper coins, and couldn't help but pat the carriage, "Hurry up and pay for it, it's such ink!" ”

Brother Liang took out a lonely one, "Satisfied brother, the copper plate on my body has let you win away, you raise your noble hand today, wait a few days for that group of pigs to be slaughtered, our brother has money in his pocket and then play, I don't even have money to drink these days." ”

Xiao Lizi was also very embarrassed, "Yes, in order to do this business, I have already advanced the money in the past few months, and I have been eating and drinking with you for the past few days, don't you know if I have money or not!" ”

Xiangxin was a little angry, this game is already very small, these two people are still playing tricks, "Don't play, two old men, can't afford to play!" ”

Xiao Lizi and Brother Liang didn't feel embarrassed, and hurriedly put away the thin wooden card, Brother Liang played haha, "Let's play another day, we have bad luck today!" ”

Xiangxin didn't want to pay attention to the two of them, but he saw Li Chengqian walking over with a black face, "Xiangxin got into the carriage with me, left, and went back to the East Palace." ”

Satisfied, followed Li Chengqian into the carriage, looked at Li Chengqian, who had a black line on his face, and thought in his heart, "Your Highness, what's the matter?" Why do you look so sad! ”

Li Chengqian said angrily: "You are right, my father gave you a marriage today and praised me, I am still obediently waiting for the reward, I didn't expect my father to let me do the main examination of the Spring Festival, this is the New Year, and the New Year is a month after the Spring Festival, don't say that I haven't sat on this thing, even if I do, this examiner is a thankless thing!" ”

Satisfaction was a little puzzled, "That's it?" This is not why His Highness is so angry! ”

Li Chengqian looked at the satisfaction with question marks on his face, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Mainly because the opposition of the courtiers is too violent, I really didn't expect it, basically everyone is opposing, even those neutral people, except for the military generals, who have always supported their father, none of the Wenchen agreed, especially that Wei Zheng, he actually said that his father's move was to joke with the life of the scholar who came to take the exam, do you say I am so unbearable?" ”

Knowing Li Chengqian's embarrassment, if this matter makes Li Chengqian come down, I am afraid that the rest of the life will be difficult, and I am afraid that the impeachment will go around the earth, if I withdraw like this, what majesty can I talk about in front of the courtiers in the future, "Your Highness, do you know why the emperor wants you to be the chief examiner?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and looked at Xiangxin full of hope, "You know what? ”

Glancing at him angrily, "That's your father, don't you know how I know?" ”

Li Chengqian covered his head helplessly, "Then what do you say about this?" ”

Li Chengqian is also thinking about this, Li Shimin will not do some period for no reason, he knows that this move will make Li Chengqian criticized, why did he let Li Chengqian be the chief examiner?

Chengxin and Li Chengqian clapped their hands at the same time and thought of something, Li Chengqian spoke first: "You say, what did you think of?" Let's see if we coincide! ”

Grinning heartily, thinking to myself Do you think you are Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, but he still spoke: "Your Highness, the emperor may want to change the crown prince, otherwise how could you become the target of everyone?" The discovery of the new staple food is a great credit, although it will take some time to verify, but it is still a credit in the end, or we will pack up our things and run away! ”

The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth trembled, and he rolled his eyes that were bigger than Xiangxin, Li Chengqian had never rolled his eyes before, but when he looked at Xiangxin, he always rolled his eyes with himself, and after several inquiries, he knew that he meant disdain, and he inadvertently learned it.

"Don't talk nonsense, I remember I heard my father say that a few days ago, King Wei had been saying good things about me in front of his father, but in the end he got a good thing about writing a book, I heard that King Wu was about to be sent back to the fief, and I don't know what he said to his father. If my guess is right, it was their idea, but I don't know what my father was going to do. Li Chengqian couldn't figure it out.

Chengxin suddenly remembered and asked, "Your Highness has answered this matter!" ”

Li Chengqian's face was full of embarrassment, "At that time, the courtiers unanimously opposed me, which made me a little annoyed, and I didn't think much about it. ”

Satisfied, patted his forehead, "This thing is not easy to do, I'll go back and think about what else is valuable, and I should run away if I sell it." ”

Li Chengqian pushed him angrily, "Are you so unrighteous?" You are my adviser, I am afraid of what to do when I encounter something, help me find a way, if I am still as speechless as today before tomorrow morning, I am afraid that it will be wrong! ”

Xiangxin also nodded, but he didn't know what to do, after all, he really didn't know about the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, and this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run!
