Chapter 274: Plotting Tibet
Since ancient times, his wife has been his mother, and Li Shen didn't expect the eldest grandson queen to be so generous, Li Shen looked at Li Shimin,
Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and said:
"Look at what I'm doing, your mother is in charge of the harem, and you do what she says."
"Thank you, Aye, thank you, Mother." Li Shen was grateful to Dade and pulled Lu Dingniang to Wei Guifei.
Kneeling on his knees, the maidservant girl on the side brought two cups of tea,
"The concubine drinks tea."
"The concubine drinks tea."
"Hey, okay." Wei Guifei turned around excitedly and wiped her tears, then took Li Shen's teacup tremblingly, took a sip and put it down, and took her daughter-in-law's teacup and took a sip.
At this moment, Wei Guifei's heart was full of joy, and her son finally got married. Tears flowed uncontrollably,
Looking at the other three concubines, they also have some red circles under their eyes,
They are very envious of Wei Guifei, who can call her biological mother and concubine in the palace, Li Shen is the only one.
And today, Wei Guifei is the only one who gives tea to her biological mother and daughter-in-law openly.
Their son still calls them aunts. Some of them have never been seen again since they left the domain.
It's like Wei Guifei, who has both children and daughters, and they are all by her side.
They have always taught their sons to learn more, and if they are talented, they can be a good vassal king, which can impress Li Shimin, and they can also be praised by His Majesty in the harem.
But Li Shen's case tells them that no matter how talented you are, no matter how good the management of the fiefdom is, you will be praised at most.
But Li Shen doesn't know any government affairs, and he is idle all day long, and he doesn't even want to go to the court, because he has money, he has won the honor they can't even think of.
Even with Wei Guifei, her status has risen, and now she is firmly in the second position in the harem.
Li Shimin spends the night in the Daji Hall several days a month, and often goes to the Daji Hall for dinner and tea.
These are all because Li Shen smashed it with money, and the chefs of Dajidian are all top-notch.
The Dajidian tea room is magnificent.
These concubines are envious and sad.
"Okay, great joy, don't be sad, let's eat here at noon today. Concubine, call the imperial chef in your palace. "The situation that Li Shimin broke through.
"Yes, everyone," Wei Guifei agreed.
Concubine Wei went out and arranged for someone to go back to inform the imperial chef and bring some ingredients.
"Have tea with me." Li Shimin got up and walked to the tea room of the Lizheng Palace, and Li Shen asked Lu Dingniang to talk to the queen here. He followed Li Shimin away.
When he came to the tea room, Li Shen saw the tea set on the tea table at a glance,
"Wow, wow, high-grade Yue kiln celadon," Li Shen stepped forward and picked up a small bowl and looked at it carefully. The glaze is evenly applied, and the glaze color is verdant and lush,
Warm as jade, the green and slightly shiny yellow color can perfectly set off the green color of the tea soup.
"What are you doing, put it down," Li Shimin happened to see Li Shen wanting to put a few cups into his arms.
Li Shen likes this too much, this set is fired in the official kiln, there has never been a full set of tea sets before, the celadon of the official kiln is different from the celadon of the private kiln,
Although the celadon of the folk kiln is also of the highest quality, but the official kiln is a fine product, a kiln down, select the flawless as a tribute, and the others must be smashed.
The emperor used the same one for others.
Li Shimin's is one in a million, the porcelain wall is thin and uniform,
"Aye, send me." As he spoke, he reluctantly took it out.
Li Shimin laughed angrily when he saw this son, Li Shimin met someone who dared to steal his things for the first time.
And so blatantly.
"I've prepared it for you, but your eldest brother doesn't have it. This was just sent to the palace a few days ago. As he spoke, he took out a large wooden box from the bottom of the tea table,
Li Shen hurriedly stepped forward to take it, opened it and saw a complete set of tea sets.
"The eldest brother doesn't know how to taste tea, so it's a waste for him."
"Tenth brother, I won't waste it for you," Li Shen felt that today was an unfortunate day, he had just been caught stealing something, and this time he had heard bad things about people.
"Big brother, why don't you come in and squeak. What if I conspire with Aya on national affairs? Li Shen said seriously.
"Bastard, your eldest brother is the crown prince, and there are any major national events that the prince can't know." Li Shimin reprimanded on the side.
"Okay, Aya has the final say, wait for me."
Li Shen and a refined person, seeing that Li Chengqian was coming, hurriedly walked out of the tea room with the box and came to the front.
"Look, lady, good thing." Li Shen opened it like a treasure for Lu Dingniang to see,
But Li Shen didn't know what she could understand with a little girl.
"It's good-looking, Lang Jun," Lu Dingniang said
"Of course, this is the celadon of the Yue kiln, the official kiln, and the tribute. Mei Niang, take it, don't let others take it away. ”
As he spoke, he handed the box to Wu Meiniang. The room full of people just looked at him.
Back in the tea room, Li Shen personally made tea and handed it to Li Shimin.
"The matter of Tibet, how are you prepared?" Li Shimin took a sip of tea and asked.
"It's all up to Ayya." Li Shen handed Li Chengqian a cup.
This kind of thing, Li Shen wants to do it himself.
You say that it is unrealistic for the army to press the border, even if Li Shimin agrees, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree.
"I want to hear what you're up to." Li Shimin knew that this son would not suffer.
"Aye, it's winter, and it's not snowing yet, but it's almost there. I'm going to start by raising the price of their food tenfold.
They only have 60% of their food this year, and I gave them in the middle of the year, so I guess they should have eaten about the same amount by now.
They will have a hard time this winter, and they will come and beg us to sell them food, and they will be tossed for the winter.
We're planning when spring blooms next year. ”
Li Shen originally wanted his guards to go to Tubo to burn and loot, but it was November, and it was already snowing before he could wait for it.
"Well, in the long run, there will be a battle between my Datang and Tubo after all, they are not ready, and we are not ready.
At the beginning of next year, I will start with Tuyuhun and purge the Tubo people in the Tuyuhun realm. Li Shimin said after drinking a cup of tea.
"Aye, in fact, we can send some men to the Tibetan border to get used to their habits.
In fact, our people will experience dizziness, nausea, and even death when they arrive in Tibet, which is not their punishment by the gods at all.
It is because their terrain is too high, so high that we Central Plains people are not suitable for it.
As long as we stay there for a month or two and get used to it, we can completely counterattack the Tibetan lair. Li Shen said that altitude sickness said again,
In their previous life, they went to Tibet and wanted to see the Potala Palace, and some teammates had altitude sickness at the bottom of the mountain.
"Old ten, is this true?" Li Chengqian asked, he also knew that the soldiers of the Central Plains would be dizzy and nauseous when they attacked the Tubo mainland, and the Tubo people said that it was their gods who were guarding this land.
"Of course, the places where they live are all high, so we Central Plains people have a disease called altitude sickness."
"Well, if what you're saying is true, then we can change our plans a little bit next year."
