Chapter 45: Slandering Li Shimin? Real cowhide
"Little shopkeeper, in Chang'an City today, rumors are swarming, your shop is the place with the largest population flow in Chang'an City! Haven't you heard of the sporadic ones? Lao Sun's brows were tightly locked, and his face was puzzled.
"Lao Sun, whether you believe it or not, or that sentence, I will set the table of eight immortals, regardless of the four seas and lakes, I will be a guest when I enter the door! What do they say, and what do they have to do with me? Li Ce looked calm, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
"Little shopkeeper, you have a point!" Lao Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile spread slightly, "Here's the thing, recently, there have been rumors in the market to slander Your Majesty!" Peddlers and pawns, boiling! For this reason, His Majesty ordered Du Ruhui to arrest the people behind the scenes as soon as possible! However, there has been no progress for several days, and Your Majesty is quite angry about this! ”
"That's it!" Li Ce's expression was solemn.
It's no wonder that in the past few days, something is not quite right in Chang'an City!
People were panicked, and even Li Yi hurriedly got out and returned to Jingzhou.
From time to time, there are peddlers and pawns who discuss privately, and from time to time, there are officers and soldiers who arrest peddlers and pawns!
That's what happened!
In Chang'an City, openly slandering Li Shimin?
This guy is really kind!
Who is so daring?
I haven't seen Wei Zheng for a few days!
Could it be that this matter also has something to do with him?
"Lord Wei Zheng, how's it going?"
"Wei Zheng......" The corners of Lao Li's mouth twitched, and he sighed deeply, "Wei Zheng advised, let Your Majesty take national affairs first, don't care about the details, and be confined to your Majesty's home by your Majesty!" ”
"I said, Lord Wei Zheng hasn't seen him for a few days, so he can't go out!" Li Ce hid his face and smiled, the heart hanging in his heart fell to the ground with a bang, "Lord Wei Zheng too, why did he rise to the challenge?" Your Majesty is in a state of anger, how can he say such a thing? ”
Wei Zheng, this guy really dares to do it!
On Li Shimin's head, he is-for-tat!
It's true!
It is worthy of the hard stubble that makes Li Shimin scratch his heart and liver!
"Yes, Lord Wei Zheng is indeed an upright person!" Lao Li's face was bitter, "It's a pity, he shouldn't have a-for-tat confrontation with His Majesty this time!" Refute Your Majesty and let Your Majesty lose face! ”
"Lao Li, do you think Wei Zheng did the right thing?" Li Ce's eyes were like eagles, blazing like fire.
"It should be right!" Lao Li took a deep breath, his face calmed down a little, "Your Majesty didn't do anything wrong, let him think about it behind closed doors, and it was also a warning to him!" ”
"Do you think so?" Li Ce smiled, "I guess Your Majesty, you should be annoyed by Wei Zheng, right?" deliberately confined Wei Zheng at home, just to get a few days of purity! ”
"Forehead......" Lao Li's cheek muscles twitched, "It should not be much different from the conjecture of the little shopkeeper!" Lord Wei Zheng, it's really annoying! No matter how big or small, everything has to be admonished, if it were me, I would also annoy him! ”
"Well, however, with such a minister, why not let His Majesty correct himself?" The corners of Li Ce's mouth curled slightly, and he took a deep breath, "Good medicine is good for disease, and good words are good for deeds!" Your Majesty naturally knows this truth! Right, Lao Li? ”
"This ...... Of course, of course! Lao Li looked slightly embarrassed, "Little shopkeeper, even if Your Majesty doesn't know, I will convey these words to Your Majesty!" ”
"Don't mention me!" Li Ce's expression was tense, "I'm just a flat-headed commoner, I really don't want to get involved in the slightest thing in the court!" Now these words only regard the two as friends, tea...... It's just nonsense after tea! Don't take it seriously! ”
"After tea...... Hu Yan ...... "Lao Li understood and laughed heartily, "Little shopkeeper, it's really funny!" Little shopkeeper, what do you suggest for the current situation in Chang'an City? ”
"I want to know, Lao Li, what do you think!" Li Ce asked rhetorically.
"I ...... I think ......"
Before Lao Li finished speaking, Lao Sun on the side hurriedly pulled his sleeves and squeezed his eyebrows.
"Brother Li, such a big thing shouldn't be explained in the restaurant tea shop!"
"Old Sun, it's okay! The small shopkeeper has made immortal contributions to Datang before, which is really the glory of Datang! The little shopkeeper treats us as friends again, and we should dig out our hearts and lungs! Lao Li smiled indifferently, "Little shopkeeper, I think this matter should be related to Prince Yin and King Qi Yudang!" I'm afraid it's the courtiers! ”
"Is that so?" Li Ce smiled, but shook his head slightly, "This matter, obviously, was not done by the courtiers!" ”
"Oh?" Lao Li looked startled, and his pupils shrank suddenly, "Why did the little shopkeeper say such a thing?" ”
"It's very simple, spreading rumors, the means are too shoddy! It's not like the powerful do it! Li Ce smiled indifferently, "Dare to ask, has Your Majesty offended any villains recently?" ”
"Offending the villain?" Lao Li's expression was tense, and his brows were tightened, "Could it be a Turkic dog thief?" He wants to disrupt Chang'an City and take the opportunity to invade the south again? Revenge for Weishui? ”
"Spreading rumors to disrupt the court may indeed be the work of the Turks!" Li Ce lowered his head and thought well, "If this is the case, Your Majesty will be angry about it, but it is in the trap of the Turks!" ”
"yes, yes!" Lao Li Huan suddenly realized, his expression was extremely excited, "Little shopkeeper, you reminded me, I will advise Your Majesty when I go back, let him stay calm and don't get angry!" ”
"Well, the courtiers should not be implicated!" Li Ce smiled indifferently, with a nonchalant look.
However, Li Ce's words really helped Wei Zheng!
Let Li Shimin forgive Wei Zheng and lift his solitary confinement!
"Yes, yes, yes! The courtiers are important helpers to help His Majesty and manage the country, and if they are suspicious of the courtiers, the Turkic dog thieves will succeed! Lao Li nodded suddenly, "Little shopkeeper, you wake up the dreamer with a word!" ”
"Lao Li, you have a good reputation!" Li Ce smiled, "Brother Qing'er, how is the meal prepared?" ”
"Little master, it's done, just wait for the little master's order!"
"Okay, let's bring it up! Today, add two pairs of chopsticks! Lao Li, Lao Sun, eat with me! Li Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, but he showed a profiteer's face, "Brother Qing'er, just wait and collect two taels of silver!" Don't overcharge! ”
"Yes, little master!"
Under the leadership of Pei Qing, eight strong men came up with food!
The whole store is instantly filled with the smell of food!
Lao Sun was salivating, his eyes were blazing, staring at the dishes on the table!
"It smells so good! The little shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for many days, and the food here is getting more and more fragrant! Lao Li smiled, "Even the dishes in the palace are not as fragrant here!" ”
"Lao Li, it's too famous, the palace chef is the best in the world! How dare we compare with ordinary people? Li Ce smiled indifferently, "Everyone, sit down and eat together!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison!
Seeing this, Lao Sun's face was solemn, and he was anxious, but it was not easy to attack!
Eating with the emperor and important ministers?
These guys aren't quite qualified, are they?
The emperor eats with a group of subordinates, if this spreads, it will become a joke!
"Old Sun, eat! I see your saliva is about to come out! Lao Li Man didn't care, picked up the chopsticks, put the vegetables in his mouth, chewed slowly, and enjoyed his face, "Today's meat is more fragrant than before, little shopkeeper, I have always had a question in my heart, I don't know why meat?" ”
"Pork!" Li Ce blurted out.
Hearing this, Lao Li's outstretched chopsticks hovered in mid-air, his face melancholy!
"This ...... Is it pork meat? Lao Sun's brows were tightened, and his face was full of anger, "Pork meat, a cheap thing that you don't eat in the ninth rank, but you use it to entertain us?" There is no injustice and no hatred, why harm us? ”
