Chapter 182: With the Tang Dynasty, there will be Li Bai
Chu Zhen came to the West Market.
A city occupies about two or three square meters, and before he arrived, Chu Zhen saw many carts, or cows, or horses, or donkeys pulling, and occasionally a few camels.
"Xue Rengao, Li Mi, Dou Jiande and others were dragged here to be beheaded?"
Chu Zhen stood in front of the West Market Gate, looking inside.
Different from the silk clothes of Li Shimin's four people, many of the people in the West Market wore brown shirts woven of linen, headscarves, straw sandals or bast shoes, which were relatively simple.
But the faces of the people of Chang'an basically did not look worried, judging from their faces, at least they could eat enough, have clothes to wear, and have surplus food at home.
When he came here, Chu Zhen felt a trace of the atmosphere of "the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty".
Although it is still very weak.
"Right here."
Li Shimin pointed to the front of the West Market and pointed out the place where Xue Rengao and others were beheaded.
Historical records: beheaded in Chang'an City.
The city refers to the eastern and western cities.
Chu Zhen looked at it carefully, wrote it down, and entered the West City with them.
Lively and noisy sounds filled the surroundings, silk, linen, porcelain, ironware, fish, meat, tea, medicinal herbs, and more exquisite fine paintings of silk fans, celadon and white porcelain.
Suddenly, Chu Zhen heard a shout:
"Corn, corn, delicious corn brought back from overseas by Mr. Chu of Qinwangfu!"
He turned his head and saw someone standing on the side of the donkey cart shouting, and the cart was full of freshly cut corn stalks, and the corn buds on them had not yet been plucked.
The picture is a fresh!
Chu Zhen rode his horse over, Li Shimin and a few people followed, Wei Chigong glanced at him again, Cheng Yanjin smiled: "Could it be that he doesn't know corn?" ”
Chu Zhen: "......"
He didn't complain.
Li Shimin was smiling.
"How do you sell this corn?"
Many people gathered around, and soon someone asked for the price.
"One horse of silk for three corns, or ten dollars!" The corn seller made a very simple bid, and added: "The money is only collected from the Kaiyuan Tongbao that has just been minted today, and the rest is not wanted!" ”
Li Shimin explained to Chu Zhen: "Last year, the money superintendent made Kaiyuan Tongbao, and the coins of the former Sui were all discarded, but there are still many in the hands of the people. ”
"Didn't you have an exchange?"
"Yes, but it will be a bit of a loss."
Chu Zhen nodded, and heard the people around complaining that it was too expensive, and a horse of silk could be exchanged for a bucket of rice.
"You don't think it's expensive, and so do I!"
The pretended to complain about the corn seller: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin spread the corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, and I bought corn seeds at the beginning of spring, and exchanged a silk for only one corn, planted it and took care of it carefully, and finally had a harvest!" ”
Chu Zhen laughed.
This is clearly a hint to the customer:
You buy my corn, take it back and plant it, and you can harvest a lot of it in the fall!
Even if the price of corn in Chang'an has dropped, there are still many places outside where there is no corn!
It's all business opportunities!
"I bought it!"
Soon someone took out a silk horse and carefully picked three corns.
But he didn't leave immediately, but asked for advice on how to plant and how to keep the corn seeds.
Before Chu Zhen finished listening, someone next to him shouted: "Sell chili peppers~~~!" Dispel the cold and dampness, the spicy mouth is appetizing, you are guaranteed to eat one, and you want to eat another one! ”
This time there were more people around.
"On selling?"
Chu Zhen saw that the man was buying millet peppers, which were not big.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Last year, the chili peppers were more expensive, and before they grew, the rich families of Chang'an City went to the field to settle down first, and there was some chaos. ”
Chu Zhen walked around again and found tomatoes, onions, coriander, potatoes, etc.
In the future, the Tang recipes of this time and space will be greatly enriched.
Dig more iron mines, smelt ironware, and let the iron pot be introduced to the homes of ordinary people, and every household can taste what it is like to have scrambled eggs with tomatoes!
And all of this was brought by Li Shimin of the Qin Palace-for Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.
Chu Zhen looked at Erlang and smiled, and continued to visit the West Market.
I bought a few pieces of fine silk, and I didn't want rouge, and I bought a few pieces of jewelry, and more than a dozen exquisite porcelains that met Chu Zhen's aesthetics.
Li Shimin hired a few people and asked them to follow behind.
After shopping, go for a drink.
Li Shimin rode a horse and took Chu Zhen to Pingkangfang, and after entering the north gate, he went east, and soon came to a restaurant.
The food and drinks are served quickly.
For Chu Zhen, it was all kinds of game, venison, mutton, bamboo chicken, etc. - Erlang was afraid that he would not be used to eating it, so he also instructed the cook to fry the bamboo chicken with chili peppers and add a tomato egg soup.
"I won't eat tomatoes or anything like that, waste."
Chu Zhen smiled and shook his head, tomatoes were too expensive in the Tang Dynasty, and he went back to buy them, and a few yuan could get a catty.
So the tomato egg soup was served to Wei Chigong, who was an escort, and then divided into three, each with a bowl.
Chu Zhen sat on the ground like them, the wine and food were placed on the low table in front of him, and Li Shimin called a few women who played the pipa and flute to come and sing some tunes.
The so-called banquet must have music, and music must have poetry.
That's it.
Chu Zhen chatted with them about Chang'an, and was drinking happily, when suddenly a middle-aged Confucian knocked on the door and walked in, first saluted King Qin, and then gave Chu Zhen a salute, and reported to his home.
"What's the matter?"
Li Shimin's face remained unchanged, holding a wine glass in his hand.

After Fang Xuanling glanced at Chu Zhen again, he said, "A slave in Liu Shilang's family escaped. ”
"What happened?"
Li Shimin asked again.
It's just a slave who escaped, and Fang Xuanling wouldn't come to him directly.
Seeing that King Qin did not shy away from Chu Zhen, Fang Xuanling could only continue: "Last night, Liu Shilang and his younger brother were drinking at home, and when they were drunk, they drew their swords and hit the pillar, saying that they were going to kill King Qi. ”
Hearing this, Chu Zhen realized that Liu Shilang was Liu Wenjing.
In the history books, he should have been killed in the second year of Wude because of his words, but now he has reached the fifth year of Wude, but I didn't expect something similar to happen!
Li Shimin pondered for a while, and then asked, "Has the slave been found?" ”
"No, when Liu Shilang woke up in the morning, remembered the incident of last night, and strictly ordered the people in the house not to say anything, only then did he know that someone had escaped."
Fang Xuanling said: "Liu Shilang came to find me, borrowed some people from King Qin, and went to find that slave!" ”
The room was quiet.
Chu Zhen didn't take the initiative to speak, and after Li Shimin looked at him, he spoke: "I'm afraid that the matter is not simple, and the identity of the slave is probably related to the King of Qi." ”
Fang Xuanling glanced at him again, his face was strange.
Although he also guessed, he didn't dare to say it so bluntly, so he could only hint first.
"Humph!"
Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly, seeing that His Royal Highness trusted Chu Zhen extremely much, he didn't hide it, and said bluntly:
"The king has released all the subordinate officials as officials in the past few months, and there is only an empty shelf in the Qin Wangfu and Tiance Mansion, and the king has avoided it so far, the prince and the king of Qi are still repeatedly troubled, and the king has been repeatedly mentioned as a rebel, and repeatedly mentioned the matter of Luoyang and Jinyang!
When they saw that the king was safe and sound, His Majesty trusted the king again, so they forced the king to intercede for Liu Shilang, and let His Majesty make a choice between the king of Qi and Liu Shilang, and between the king of Qi and the king! ”
Chu Zhen looked at Cheng Yanjin with a little surprise, this guy with a short appearance and a seemingly rough appearance, turned out to be so delicate.
Wei Chi Jingde said: "I said earlier, Your Highness might as well take advantage of the time when the troops are leading the troops to fight Liu Heimin, call the people of the Qin Palace's Mansion back, and see if they dare to be so rampant!" ”
Qin Qiong said: "What about calling it back?" Now that the king has finally won the trust of His Majesty, calling back will make His Majesty suspicious, and now there is more Tiance Mansion, if the two mansions are full of officials, the prince is even more jealous of His Royal Highness. ”
Fang Xuanling glanced at Chu Zhen and said, "Liu Heimin has almost occupied the land of the former Xia King now, Mao Gong may not be his opponent, if we find a way to let the crown prince or the King of Qi lead the army......
Is this a poisonous ploy?
Let Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji lead the army, let them lose, and defeat them miserably, Li Yuanfang knew who this Tang Dynasty relied on!
"Hahaha." Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "None of our men and horses are allowed to move, let them fight!" ”
The four of them looked at King Qin, but King Qin looked at Chu Zhen.
"Who is Mao Gong?"
Chu Zhen asked.
Li Shimin smiled, "It's Li Shiyun." ”
"Oh, it's him."
Chu Zhen recalled and said: "Liu Heimin may defeat Li Shiyun, and the Turks will also help him, if he can't be caught at one time, Liu Heimin will flee to the Turks and raise the army again." If you want to calm Hebei, you still have to appease the people of Hebei. ”
Li Shimin nodded slightly, and instructed Fang Xuanling: "You go and help Mr. Liu find the slave as soon as possible, whether he is dead or alive." ”
Fang Xuanling saluted, saluted Chu Zhen again, and then left.
"We continue to drink."
Li Shimin smiled at Chu Zhen.
"Little Lady Li said that you can only drink two kinds of alcohol."
Chu Zhen smiled and said: "The first one, joy on joy." The second is to relieve sorrow. ”
Li Shimin thought about it, shook his head and put down the wine glass: "It was a double happiness wine just now, but the anxiety relief wine is not delicious." That's it, I'll go out with you to visit Chang'an again. ”
So the group went out again.
Chu Zhen rode on a horse, and after seeing the Chang'an city wall from a distance, he asked Li Shimin if he could go up and take a look.
"It's just a small thing."
Li Shimin took him up to the city wall.
Chu Zhen was condescending, and finally vaguely saw some of the whole picture of Chang'an City, Li Shimin asked the soldiers to avoid it for the time being, so that the historian Chu Zhen could take out his mobile phone to take a few photos.
There were three hundred continuous cymbals in the city, and the East and West Markets began to close.
The setting sun in the distance reflects its afterglow in the sky.
After Chu Zhen took a few pictures of the people of Chang'an City leaving the city, he looked at Li Shimin and saw that he was looking at the direction of the palace.
"Jiro seems to have something on his mind."
Chu Zhen laughed at him.
"Didn't you guess all my thoughts?"
After a while, Li Shimin said: "On the night of Jinyang City, before Liu Wuzhou's rebellion, when I first learned about 'Tang Taizong', I had the idea of chasing the Central Plains and owning the world!" ”
He looked at the palace.
Chu Zhen looked at him, this was the most true thought of Li Jiaerlang.
He chose to forbear, but it did not mean that he would give up the throne, but he was waiting for the opportunity.
What kind of timing?
A time that can make him a prince, everyone in the world will look to him.
Who made him the second son?
If he was called Li Dalang, there would be nothing to do.
Chu Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "There is no Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, just like Tang poetry without Li Bai." ”
“…… When was Li Bai born? ”
"Sheng Tang."
Chu Zhen looked at Li Shimin who was bathing in the sun on the city wall, and said with a smile: "Li Bai's poems have written all the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and they are extremely romantic and heroic, if there is no charm of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no Li Bai!" ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Since Mr. Chu likes poetry, then I will help Mr. Chu and let Li Bai appear." ”
"Hahahaha! I'm waiting for that day...... Go, go back. ”
