Li Zhi stopped in Zhengzhou, not for a simple rest, one of the most important things for the emperor to go on patrol was to buy people's hearts.

The choice of road, the choice of place for the construction of the palace, and the time of stopping are all very particular.

At this time, when the emperor met with local officials and local squires, he would be willing to listen to the opinions and opinions of these people on the dynasty with great sincerity and patience.

Once their request or suggestion that is beneficial to the local area is adopted by the emperor, a good thing will happen that is enough to be famous in the local area for thousands of years, and then it will be praised by the local villagers for thousands of years.

For example, the emperor drank a bowl of viscous soup with a lot of pepper added to it, and was inspired by the pepper to sweat, and casually shouted hello, and the faces of the local officials and even the gentry present showed a proud look.

Zhengzhou Hu spicy soup really lives up to its name!

Just when everyone was happily tasting this bowl of spicy soup, Li Si, who was standing behind Li Hong and wearing a prince's costume, looked disdainful.

In this way, he also accompanied the emperor to meet with local officials, Confucians, celebrities, squires, and wealthy people in Zhengzhou.

The emperor wanted to win the hearts of the people, but it was the group of locals who were ready to be collected by the emperor who paid the money.

At least pay for the banquet that the emperor entertained them.

Although Zhengzhou is also a big place, if you want to have a big banquet to entertain the emperor and queen, the middle is not just about the food.

It can be said that within a radius of 100 miles, only Li Si's room has this ability, even the emperor and the imperial chefs brought by the empress cannot be compared.

It's not that the cooking level of the imperial chefs is not as good as the cooks brought by Li Si, but under Li Hong's intimidation, the imperial chefs dare not say that they are stronger than the chefs under Li Si's command.

Not only did they have to admit that they were not as good as the cooks under Li Si's command, but they also offered to help Li Si make meals for the emperor, empress, prince and other nobles.

This is the standard practice of just wanting to make money, but not wanting to take any responsibility, and it is also a kind of Li Hong's thoughtful sister.

In the snowy season, the emperor sat in the warm shed and talked with the high-ranking officials, Confucians, and celebrities, and those petty officials, rich people, and landlords could only stand in the snow and watch the emperor drink with those local bigwigs.

The weather is very cold, but the hearts of the people are very hot, the emperor stays in Chang'an, and when Luoyang does not go out, they are very dissatisfied with the Tang Emperor.

Now, the emperor has personally come to the land where they live, and is willing to listen to their views and opinions, so their hearts, which were originally disappointed in the Tang Dynasty, suddenly became hot.

The emperor rewarded them with a bowl of spicy soup to drink, so that they would not be frozen while standing in the snow.

The emperor drank the spicy soup naturally different from the original spicy soup in Zhengzhou, the earliest spicy soup in Zhengzhou did not have pepper, only sour, pungent sourness, was added to this vulgar local snack by the imperial chef and the master of the canteen, pepper, yellow flower, fungus, beef slices and other precious ingredients, and then softened the stimulating sourness, a new sour and hot soup with the pungent smell of pepper appeared.

Pepper is very precious, and it is a special blessing for the emperor to reward them with a bowl of soup with the taste of pepper on a snowy day.

The ability to reconcile the five flavors is a skill that every high-grade canteen chef must have, and in this regard, the chef of the large canteen with rich experience in improving snacks is better than those imperial chefs.

Seeing that his father drank the improved version of Hu spicy soup and applauded, Li Si knew that this time the improvement of Hu spicy soup was extremely successful.

As for whether others like it or not, it doesn't matter, as long as your father likes it, others don't like it, it can only be said that his drunkenness is not right, and his tongue can't feel the good taste of delicacies.

As long as time passes, their tastes will quickly approach the emperor's tastes.

Because the emperor rewarded Hu spicy soup, the little people who originally stood in the snow and did not enter the stream had an extra side of the dwarf, a futon, and an extra bamboo umbrella on their heads.

After drinking the spicy soup, it warmed people's bodies, indicating that the emperor had felt the coldness experienced by the people of Zhengzhou over the years and wanted to change.

Having an umbrella on his head spared the pain of snow, indicating that the emperor was aware of all the suffering suffered by the people of Zhengzhou, and there were mistakes from the imperial court, and now, the emperor was willing to give them an umbrella to cover them from this suffering.

One side is a few shorter, one futon, this is a sign of participating in the feast, obviously, the emperor's reward today obviously tells these people that they have the qualifications to go to the Tang Dynasty.

When each person was rewarded with a pot of about three taels of anti-poison, some white-bearded and white-haired gentry couldn't help but burst into tears.

Just when Li Zhi was puzzled, Xu Jingzong, who also had a white beard and white hair, whispered the reason why these gentry were crying.

Li Zhi was surprised: "Can it be explained like this? ”

Li Jingxuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is mighty, every breath and breath of the wind and clouds, although it is a simple reward, it is also a great imperial grace when it falls on these people." ”

Li Zhi laughed, waved his hand to the eunuch, and rewarded the mountains of food in front of him to these earthen buns.

Although there were many meals in front of the emperor, it was still far from enough to be distributed to six hundred people.

There was only a handful of food on the plate in front of everyone, but after the eunuchs evenly distributed the food, Li Zhi came to the edge of the shed with his wine glass high and said loudly: "Drink to win!" ”

More than 600 Zhengzhou natives, as well as the accompanying civil and military officials, raised their glasses one after another, without being taught, let alone commanded by others, and the cry of "Your Majesty Ten Thousand Years" resounded throughout the teaching military field.

In the face of such a warm scene, Li Zhi burst out into an extremely hearty laugh from time to time.

Li Hong took the opportunity to ask Li Si to serve the dishes that had been prepared a long time ago, and as long as those people finished eating the previous dish, they would immediately serve the next dish.

After Li Zhi took a bite of the sour soup balls, he turned his head to look at Li Jingxuan, who was sitting at the third table on the left.

Li Jingxuan immediately stepped forward and listened to Li Zhi ask: "Today's wine banquet is very much in line with my intentions, and the person who prepared the wine banquet should be rewarded." ”

Li Jingxuan said with a smile: "Such a banquet is better than 30,000 male masters, and the person who prepared it is behind His Majesty." ”

When Li Zhi was eating, there were always people helping Bu Cai, looking at the sleeves and thinking it was Li Hong, he turned his head to look at it, only to find that it was Li Si who was dressed in the clothes of the prince.

"Nonsense, good royal princess, what kind of body does it look like to wear men's clothes."

Li Si said with a smile: "Only in this way can we share the worries of my father." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Only this once." ”

Li Sidao: "The child is good at preparing wine banquets, and he has this ability, and he still wants to serve his father all the way." ”

Li Zhi looked at the civil and military officials in the shed, and then looked at the local gentry in Zhengzhou who were eating and drinking very enthusiastically, and felt that Li Si's help in preparing the banquet was not a big deal, so he immediately agreed.

Li Si, who received the emperor's permission, immediately smiled.

Seeing Li Si smiling brightly, Li Zhi raised his hand for the first time and touched his daughter's face......

Naturally, none of the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were given for nothing, and His Majesty the Emperor had already given his favor to the gentry of Zhengzhou, so these gentry must have something in return.

Taking advantage of such a thing, they are professional, watching the civil and military officials disperse and walk into the gentry, whether it is Xu Jingzong or Li Jingxuan, a trace of inexplicable smile appeared on their faces.

In the past, when the Tang Dynasty was dealing with local affairs, it was too domineering, but now, it should be a new change to be able to show a rare gentle means through a banquet.

The person who is the best at riding horses in the whole Tang Dynasty is Li Shen, the king of Ji.

In the beginning, I ran fifty miles a day, and after meeting the emperor, I discussed some things that I couldn't decide, and then I went back, and this was a hundred miles.

Then, I ran a hundred miles a day, repeated the things of the previous day, and then rushed back overnight.

Now, he set off from Luoyang early in the morning and had already run to Zhengzhou, 300 miles away, in the middle of the night.

Yun Chu didn't run 300 miles a day before, but at that time, he was chased by the Turkic cavalry, and if he didn't run, he would die, so he ran 300 miles willingly.

It's just that after running these three hundred miles, Yun Chu can only walk cross-legged, and it lasts for half a month.

After riding on the back of a horse for a long time, the two hip shafts that could move freely will lock in the state of riding, not to mention that the tender skin on the inner thighs is tormented by the saddle.

Li Shen's body was far less durable than Yun Chu's body, but he was able to run three hundred miles, so he knew how tortured this prison was for him.

In this way, he also accompanied the emperor to meet with local officials, Confucians, celebrities, squires, and wealthy people in Zhengzhou.

Witnessed Li Zhi's first imperial means in Huairou place.

This time, Li Shen did not run back to Luoyang overnight, which was beyond the limit of his ability and beyond the limit of his body.

After seeing Yun Chu in the Tiger Prison Pass, he fell from his horse and fell unconscious.

After the military doctor cut Li Shen's lower clothes with scissors, he saw that the skin and flesh on this guy's thighs and buttocks were rolled, and he couldn't see a good piece of skin.

Because it was winter, the possibility of inflammation and suppuration was lower, so Yun Chu did not ask the military doctor to directly use anti-poison to help him clean his wounds, but chose a relatively mild willow branch water.

Even so, Li Shen still woke up from the coma in pain, grabbed Yun Chu's hand and said, "Yu Chu, it's better for me to live than to die-"

After yelling, he fainted again.

Gently put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Li Shen, who had a sallow face, and said to Yun Chu: "He is in charge of the country this time, and he must make a big mistake." ”

Yun Chu said: "Li Hong is reluctant to stay in Luoyang, which is right, but I didn't expect to hurt Li Shen." ”

Gentle smile: "The prison is good, it means that King Ji is also suitable to be the emperor, and the prison has a big thing, which shows that King Ji is incompetent and needs to be punished, all of which are clear and clear laws and disciplines, and even the old gods have no room for beaks."

Li Ming, the king of Cao, had already taken the recital of the retreat last night, and in the recital, he said that he was stupid and incompetent, and he also let the people under his rule be miserable, and he had no ability to govern the place, hoping that the emperor could build a royal mansion for him in Chang'an for the sake of his brothers, and allow him to enjoy a lifetime of wealth in Chang'an, a rich brother. ”

When Yun Chu was lamenting that the matter of the sixteen princes' mansions of Xuanzong was about to appear in advance, Li Shen opened his eyes violently, grabbed Yun Chu's hand and said: "Help me up, I want to go to the book, I want to go back to Chang'an to carve the stone ...... with peace of mind."

Li Shen stayed in the Yunchu military camp for an hour because of the treatment of his buttocks and legs, and after an hour, he was really bad at doing it, so he asked for a carriage from Yunchu and rushed to Luoyang overnight, and as for the "Fool Please Retreat" he wrote for the emperor, he also went to Zhengzhou overnight.

The suffering of a few people will not cause a change in the sky, the first snow in winter finally stopped, the original white land is very clean, just a rut to Luoyang, a horse hooves to Zhengzhou.

This time, because of the arrangement of a banquet, Li Si finally met her longing mother.

When Li Si bowed down in front of Wu Mei, Li Hong's eyes were full of tears, Li Xian looked up at the sky, Li Xian was terrified, Li Dan was carefree, but Taiping in Wu Mei's arms stretched out his little hand to Li Si.

Wu Mei smiled, let go of Taiping, and let her crawl towards Li Si......

If you are not in good health, you will go back to the repair station to repair it.
