Chapter 212: Qin Wangfu Banquet
Washed lychees, mangoes, cherries, etc. were served.
The Yin family, the Yang family, and the Wei cousins, the Yan family, and the Zheng family, who were called by Li Shimin, were all surprised.
A plate of lychees is red, and there is this orange-yellow fruit, I don't know what it is.
"It's called mango, but it's best for children not to eat it. The first time you eat, eat less. ”
Chu Zhen grabbed two lychees, handed them to Li Chengqian, and taught him how to eat them.
Li Shimin asked his wife and his four concubines to eat too, chatted with Chu Zhen about some inconsequential trivial matters, and introduced his concubines.
Wei's cousin was born in Jingzhao Wei, her appearance and temperament are good, Wei's sister married another person first, and her ex-husband died and lived in Luoyang, Li Shimin took her and her cousin back to Chang'an after beating Wang Shichong.
Wei and her ex-husband also gave birth to a daughter, and she was also called over by Li Shimin, the little girl was seven or eight years old, and she was already very polite, or she seemed a little restrained.
Yan's and Zheng's backgrounds are also not simple.
Yan's grandfather was the former Sui Shangzhu State, and his mother was born in the Hongnong Yang family.
Zheng is also one of the five surnames and seven wangs.
It can be said that none of the concubines in the Qin Palace's concubines are from poor backgrounds.
Chu Zhen didn't ask their names, and Li Shimin didn't say anything, after distributing the fruits, let them take the children back, leaving only the eldest grandson in the pavilion.
Li Shimin smiled at his wife and said, "Mr. is a historian, Guanyin, would you like to tell Mr. your name?" ”
The eldest grandson glanced at Chu Zhen and said his name.
The eldest grandson, Shuzhi.
"Thank you, Princess, for telling me!"
Chu Zhen smiled and thanked him.
The eldest grandson's face was strange, he glanced at his husband, and saw that he was still indifferent, so he had to pretend to be confused for the time being, and said with a smile: "Mr. gave such a big gift, so that Cheng Qian and they all ate happily, it should be the concubine to thank Mr." ”
"These fruits are nothing."
Chu Zhen shook his head, took a sip of tea.
The tea of the Tang Dynasty is somewhat different from that of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, although it is also made tea, but it seems that the tea varieties are not the same.
Li Shimin asked him, "Mr. Chu went to the Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Not yet, I just came back from Shunchao and stayed there for a few days."
"I haven't asked before, the red-haired fan ...... on Xiaoliuqiu Island in the Shun Dynasty"
The eldest grandson couldn't interject.
I just think the things these two are talking about is very strange.
Lunar eclipse solar eclipse, newspaper, Shun Dynasty Emperor Taishang's will intercepted, Song Huizong, Jin State, movable type printing, battleships, silver, banks......
All the time we talk.
The eldest grandson only heard that her husband was very concerned about how to govern the country, and asked in detail about the central bank and local banks.
But if he wasn't the prince, where would he be useful?
"Bank loans have the effect of stimulating the economy and making the people rich."
Li Shimin sighed.
Chu Zhen said with a smile: "In ancient times, the productive forces were backward, there were not many commodity trade activities, and most of the loans were limited to the purchase of seeds, cattle, stoves and other agriculture-related things. ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "To protect the people from the suffering of usury, the bank can be regarded as having played a role. It's a pity that according to Mr. Chu, there are not many silver and copper coins in Datang. ”
Chu Zhen joked to him: "The silver and copper coins are thinking too much, you should first make every household can afford the iron pot!" ”
Li Shimin sighed, "That's right, stir-frying is better than cooking, and the iron pot is also durable." ”
The eldest grandson looked at her husband who was talking to Mr. Chu, and in a trance, it was as if she had reacquainted with him.
The last time she learned about the table lamp, she chatted a lot with him in the room, and for the first time she clearly heard her husband's heart, knowing that he wanted to be the prince and was unwilling to be the king of Qin.
But at that time, Jiro only talked to her about the situation in the DPRK and China.
Even if Jiro talked about governing the country with many scholars in the Literature Museum, he only talked about the well-known benevolence, punishment, and employment.
But when chatting with Mr. Chu, Erlang was very humble, and asked about overseas islands, silver mines, banks, and even solar eclipses.
Mr. Chu's remarks seemed to be inconsequential, but after she listened carefully, she listened attentively like her husband.
"Unfortunately, you can't do any of these things. Let's wait until you become emperor. ”
Chu Zhen ended with one sentence.
The eldest grandson looked at Erlang and saw that he only nodded slightly.
"The hour is coming, let's go, let's go drink!"
Li Shimin greeted him, called his wife too, and the three of them came to a large hall outside, where more than ten long and low tables had been placed and seats were placed.
Chu Zhen sat down cross-legged, he was a single table, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson shared, and most of the other tables were also used by two or three people, but it was still a separate meal system.
After sitting down and continuing to chat for a while, Fang Xuanling entered the palace and was a little embarrassed to see that His Royal Highness and the princess were there.
But he soon saw Chu Zhen, his expression became surprised, and he came over to salute His Royal Highness and the two of them, and gave Chu Zhen a salute.
"Leave me alone."
Chu Zhen smiled at him and said, "I'm just here to have a meal tonight." ”
Fang Xuanling thought for a moment, nodded at him, and sat down next to Chu Zhen.
He really didn't ask anything, but only called a servant and ordered him to quickly inform the others, saying that King Qin was already waiting in the palace.
Soon, the generals of the Qin Wangfu and the Tiance Mansion came one after another.
The three people Chu Zhen met last time, Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chi Jingde, and Qin Qiong, also came one after another.
When they walked in, Li Shimin introduced him one by one.
Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Qin Wangfuyuan, Du Junxuan, Hou Junji, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhixuan, etc.
In addition, Gao Shilian, the uncle of the eldest grandson, the elder brother Wuji, Yu Wenhua, the younger brother of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and so on.
Chu Zhen was surprised that Xu Shiyun and Chai Shao also came.
But Li Jing was nowhere to be seen.
In addition, the people in the hall have a characteristic, that is, there are many generals and few ministers.
The crowd took their seats.
Eyes are almost on Li Shimin and Chu Zhen.

"Just call him sir."
Li Shimin said with a smile, "As for other things, Mr. doesn't want to get involved yet, so he only drinks tonight!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a young man hurriedly walked in outside the hall gate, stepped forward to apologize to Li Shimin, and said, "Second brother, I delayed something on the road and was a step too late. ”
"It's not late, it's early. Fifth brother, sit down. ”
Li Shimin said.
Only then did Chu Zhen remember him, Li Yuan's fifth son, Li Zhiyun, who had rescued him from the Yin Shishi with a flashlight when Li Shimin was fighting Chang'an.
Now he is the king of Chu.
Li Zhiyun is a concubine, although he is the same age as Li Yuanji, he is basically not qualified to compete for the crown prince.
Unless his mother, Concubine Wan, was crowned queen by Li Yuan.
The wine and food came up quickly.
The music also began to play, and everyone chatted while drinking, mostly some miscellaneous matters, did not talk about the situation in the court, nor did they mention the prince, only someone mentioned King Qi, but soon did not continue to talk.
Chu Zhen thought that he was just drinking tonight.
But after three rounds of qule playing, Li Shimin waved them down, and only the people of the Tiance Mansion of the Qin Wangfu were left in the palace, plus his uncle, eldest brother, Li Zhiyun, and brother-in-law Chai Shao, who had a close relationship with him.
Li Shimin looked over and seemed to be thinking about how to speak.
Chu Zhen thought of something and asked, "Erlang, your third sister, ...... now?" ”
Chai Shao looked at him.
Li Shimin said: "The third sister was stationed in Weize Pass before, and she also made a contribution when she beat Liu Heimin, and now she is in Chang'an City, and she will return to Weize Pass after the New Year." ”
"Reed Zeguan? Maybe it should be called Niangzi Guan. ”
Chu Zhen said with a smile.
Chai Shao glanced at him a few times and said, "Because there is a princess stationed in Weize Pass, the people in the city are indeed called Niangzi Pass. Sir has been? ”
"I haven't been."
Chu Zhen shook his head, thinking of Princess Pingyang, and said to him: "Princess Pingyang may have a serious illness this year, General Chai can pay more attention." ”
Chai Shao's face was not very good-looking, and he asked rhetorically: "Have you seen my wife?" ”
Chu Zhen smiled slightly and did not answer this question.
In the history books, Princess Pingyang died of illness this year, and her nickname is Zhao.
Li Shimin told Chai Shao and said: "Brother-in-law, it's better to pay attention, Mr. won't talk nonsense, within this year, if the third sister is in poor health, you should ask Lang Zhong earlier, if the condition worsens, or if it is not well in three or five days, come and tell me!" ”
Seeing what he said solemnly, Chai Shao had to agree, got up and thanked Chu Zhen before kneeling down again.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and others looked at Chu Zhen with more and more strange eyes.
It is okay to have King Qin personally entertain and introduce them personally.
But this gentleman did not even say his last name, and when the people came, they did not see him standing up or saying anything else.
And now, suddenly say that Princess Pingyang is about to fall ill?
He hadn't even met Princess Pingyang!
"You say."
Cheng Biting Jin asked in a low voice to Chi Jingde, the captain next to him: "Who is he?" ”
"How do I know!"
Wei Chi Jingde sat cross-legged, propped one hand on his knees, and held the wine bowl in the other, looked at the gentleman for a long time before he said: "He is almost the same as when we met the year before last, even his hair is so short. ”
"Hair?"
Only then did Cheng Yanjin discover this small place, and then looked at his beard, which was still clean.
Qin Qiong had a guess, but since the king didn't say it, he didn't mention it, let others guess too.
"It's been more than half a year since I last returned to Chang'an from Hebei."
Li Shimin opened his mouth to tell about returning to Chang'an.
He said it to everyone, but they could all see that it was for the gentleman.
"Last time?"
Du Ruhui said in a low voice and in confusion, and Fang Xuanling and Chu Zhen next to him heard it.
Chu Zhen smiled and continued to listen to Li Shimin.
After returning to Chang'an, the military generals of the Qin Wangfu and Tiance Mansion were not dismissed by Li Shimin again, and all stayed in Chang'an.
A group of soldiers who returned from the battlefield seemed to be out of place when they returned to Chang'an, not only Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan, but also the Chinese courtiers of the DPRK also had a different vision of these military generals.
Li Shimin started talking about some of the things that had happened in the past six months, and these generals shouted and vented one after another, and they all held a fire in their hearts.
"The world is fought by the king, why can't the king be the prince?!"
Cheng Yanjin's big voice shouted.
Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, was the first to agree: "The second brother is more suitable to be the prince than the eldest brother!" ”
Wei Chi Jingde said angrily: "I don't care who is the prince for the time being, I just say that Your Majesty has recruited two thousand Changlin soldiers to the king, and there are only eight hundred people in our two mansions!" ”
The two mansions refer to the Qin Wangfu and the Tiance Mansion.
"The prince has no military merits but lives in the East Palace, and the king has outstanding military exploits but lives outside the city!"
"Heh, the prince still wants to buy the people in the house......"
"The prince and the king of Qi have a very close relationship with the palace, and I don't know how many treasures they sent in!"
"Zhang Jieyu framed His Highness, those pieces of land were clearly given to us by His Highness first, and His Majesty's will arrived."
"Du Senjun was beaten in vain, and His Majesty also used the excuse to play and reprimanded His Royal Highness......"
"Li Yi came to Chang'an with the king from Youzhou, but the reward was not as small as the king of Qi!"
One thing after another was told by them, and the object of complaint of the generals has faintly changed from the crown prince Li Jiancheng to the Tang Emperor Li Yuan.
Chu Zhen looked at Li Shimin.
Was he being pushed forward by the generals, or was he accumulating the anger of the Tang Dynasty soldiers?
Li Shimin no longer took the initiative to dismiss the staff of the soldiers of the two governments.
These proud soldiers who can fight the world are all under him.
