Chapter 550
The fourth update is here, big brothers and sisters, please give me some monthly tickets and some rewards. Now the fifth place is only a little bit away from the top two, which makes us burst into their anus!
Eastern Palace.
As soon as the press conference of Bailu Academy in Bashang ended, the people sent by Li Shimin immediately rushed back to Beijing and rushed back to the palace, reporting the content of the conference to Li Shimin as soon as possible.
"Oh, it turns out that's what this press conference is."
Li Shimin read the report and felt a little surprised and a little disappointed. He thought Li Chao was going to do a big news, but it turned out to be just a simple briefing meeting.
"Li Xiang can really cover up, and he hasn't disclosed much details yet. Oh, I'm getting more and more curious about his way to build a new capital without spending money." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Wuji, have a meal together at noon. Guanyinbi said you haven't visited her recently. Qingque and Lizhi miss you very much, as well as your uncle. It happened to be a lot of good things I brought back from Bashang last time, and it just happened to be a reward for the queen's craftsmanship. Recently, the queen's cooking skills have improved rapidly. She has been proud of Li Chao's recipe. The queen's cooking skills have been well received by Li Chao."
Changsun Wuji laughed, "When the queen sees Li Chao, wouldn't she call her master?"
"Haha, yes."
An eunuch was sent to Lizheng Palace to inform the queen, and Changsun Wuji stayed for dinner.
When the two of them finished their meetings, they returned to Lizheng Palace.
The emperor and grandson had already cooked a table of good dishes.
Mushroom chicken pot, old soup, sheep scorpion, garlic roasted wings, Mapo eggplant, cucumber, bean sprouts fried rice noodles, seaweed soup.
The dishes on the table are full of color, fragrance and taste, and they look very appetizing.
Li Tai and Li Lizhi and his brother and sister stared at the plate of roasted wings in a lewd manner, almost reaching out to grab them.
"Oh, the queen's craftsmanship is getting better and better."
Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Follow Li Xiangguo's recipe, you can cook a few home-cooked side dishes."
"How can you lose wine, your Majesty, take a bottle of the bar."
Li Shimin also had a lot of appetite and nodded, "I don't drink much, but Wuji is here today, so I must have two drinks."
"What wine do you drink?"
"See what Your Majesty means."
"Why don't you drink some Monkey wine?"
Queen Changsun objected, and the monkey was drunk, so she would drink some beer bar. There was a cold one, and it was hot in summer, so it was a good time to drink two glasses of ice and it was comfortable."
"Then I'll listen to the queen's ice beer, by the way, is it the Li family's beer bar?"
"Well, it's Lee Ji."
"This wine is still authentic to Li Ji. Even if it is brewed by our palace, it still tastes almost the same."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It must be when Li Chao gave His Majesty Fang Zi, he left some private hiding, hiding one or two secret moves."
"I guess so, but it doesn't matter."
The whole family sits together.
Changsun Wuji first picked up a chicken wing for Li Tai and Li Lizhi.
The golden chicken wings are beautiful and fragrant. The brother and sister were drooling. When they saw that their uncle had picked up one for them, they immediately started to chew on them without hesitation.
Li Lizhi still cares about the prince’s elder brother.
"The prince's brother can't eat the garlic-flavored chicken wings made by his mother, what a pity."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Your prince's brother is in Li Town, Bashang, and he eats delicious food all day long, and he is having fun."
"Ah, are there a lot of delicious food on Bashang? I want to go too." Li Tai, a little fat man, was immediately dissatisfied with the fact that he heard this.
Li Lizhi also asked, "Didn't the prince's brother study hard with Li Shaobao on Bashang?"
"I'm studying and playing all day long, working as a craftsman, stepping on the rice ripping machine, catching loaches, rowing boats and picking water chestnuts, casting nets to catch fish, and grilling cicadas. This kid is crazy. Every day, the vests and shorts are like mud monkeys, and they're as fast as tanning charcoal." Li Shimin shook his head and said.
He was paying attention to the prince every day. If he hadn't known that Li Chao had the homework to capture the prince, the prince would not have missed his homework when he was playing, Li Shimin would have sent someone to bring the prince back long ago.
Changsun Wuji said with some concern, "Wenyuan is very capable, but after all, he is born in a wild way, so I am a little worried that the prince will let him lead the bad things."
"It's not like leading the bad guy. Anyway, Li Chao doesn't have so much time to take the prince, so he occasionally throws it over for a few days. It's not only to let the prince relax, but also learn some other skills from Li Chao. Otherwise, I can't learn from Li Gang and Pei Ju all day long. Wuji, when we were young, we were not fooling around in Chang'an. Li Chao was right, so we couldn't be locked in the palace all day long, learn this and that every day, and everyone learns pedantic. What I need is a prince, a prince who will inherit the Tang Dynasty in the future, rather than a Confucian scholar or a talented man."
Changsun Wuji smiled.
"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but I think it's bad. It seems that I will also send a few children from my family to Ba Shang, even if I am a companion for the prince."
"Well, that day, Sanniang also said she would send Zhewei Lingwu to Bashang again, but I felt a little embarrassed."
Changsun Wuji also said with a curious look, "Actually, I am very curious until now. Have you ever had this Princess Pingyang and Wen Yuan?"
Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and poured a glass of ice beer for Changsun Wuji. The crystal clear jade cup made the light yellow beer look very beautiful.
"This matter is annoying to say, there must be some."
Changsun Wuji heard it very enthusiastically and took the beer poured, "Then they are broken up now and there is no contact with each other?"
"As far as I know, it's broken. The third sister has been to the Li Mansion twice, but Li Chao has not shown up."
"Hehe, Wen Yuan, this is a harm to the eldest princess. The eldest princess has been for him and Chai Shaoheli, but he is so heartless."
"It's good that this is the case. Li Chao is now in the center and is in power in the political affairs hall. How can he make a lot of talks about it for a little personal affair?"
But even though that is the case, Li Shimin was still a little depressed when talking about this.
After all, he and the third lady were the same mother. Now, seeing Princess Pingyang feel depressed all day long, and even made a bad reputation because of this, all of which have to be thanks to Li Chao.
"Li Chao, young, talented, capable, wealthy, and high-ranking positions. He is very good at speaking, and has a good personality. He usually has such a person, usually women can't help but fall into it if they come into contact with him a few more times. The eldest princess is just too deeply trapped. If she wants to blame him, she will blame Li Chao. If she had made a clear attitude earlier and not be so ambiguous, she would have nothing to do."
"Wuji, I want to find someone for Sanniang. Who do you think is suitable?"
Changsun Wuji laughed twice, "To be honest, there are really few people who are best matched with the eldest princess. After all, the eldest princess is young, and the second is strong, and the heroine is known to the world. The eldest princess is still a high-spirited person, and most people will definitely look down on him. Even the eldest princess like Chai Shao, Qiao Guo, are not as good as the eldest princess. How many Li Chao are there in this world?"
Li Shimin took a big sip of beer, and a burst of ice was refreshed, which made the anger suppress a little.
"But Sanniang is still so young, so she can't just stay like this for the rest of her life, right?"
"But I think the eldest princess is still affectionate to Li Chao. Now, I can't find someone who can match the eldest princess. Even if I can find it, the eldest princess' love for Li Chao has not yet been broken, so I can't match it."
"I know, but Li Chao cannot divorce Cui. The couple is very good. Sanniang cannot marry Li Chao as a concubine. There is no such thing, and I have never been able to lose such a person, even the Tang Dynasty royal family cannot afford to lose such a person."
"Your Majesty, it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs, so it is even harder to say about this relationship. If I want to say it, let it go first. Maybe the long princess will let go of Li Chao after a while? Or maybe their old love will be rekindled again?"
"Li Chao dares to tease his third sister, so I cut him down."
"Your Majesty, don't say that. If the old relationship between the eldest princess and Li Chao is really rekindled, it may not be a bad thing to ask me to see it. Just let them go. As long as Cui doesn't make trouble, the eldest princess doesn't ask Li Chao to divorce his wife or divorce. What's going on in private? Then let him go and pretend that he can't see it."
Li Shimin sighed, this kind of thing is really annoying.
If most people dared to treat his third sister like this, he would have cut the heads of the vegetable market ten thousand times. But this person was Li Chao, and Li Shimin could only sulk in this matter.
Have a few glasses of wine.
Li Shimin just pressed the matter and said nothing, just as Changsun Wuji said, let it be put aside first.
"Wuji, I have an idea to let you go to Shuofang."
"Go to Shuofang?"
"Well, I plan to divide Shuofang from Guannei Road and Jianshuofang Road. Divide Hexi from Longyou Road to build Hexi Road. Dou Dan is still the Grand Governor of Longyou Road, and let Chai Shao go to Hexi Road and serve as the Grand Governor of Hexi Road. Qin Qiong is still the Grand Governor of Guannei Road, and transfers you to Shuofang as the Grand Governor's Office. The former Shuofang Jiedushi's Office is abolished and changed to the Grand Governor's Office."
Changsun Wuji was a little surprised, why did he suddenly transfer him to Shuofang?
"Originally, I planned to let Li Chao preside over the leadership of Shuofang for a few more years, which is very important. But now, I want to entrust Li Chao to build a new capital in Shannan, and Shuofang cannot take care of it for the time being. I need a trusted and reliable person to guard there."
Changsun Wuji nodded.
"If you want to go to Shuofang, another thing is that you have always been in my shogunate and have fewer opportunities to stand alone, especially if you don't have much practical experience in commanding troops. Now you are in the center, and you also have many objections, saying that you are because of nepotism, and that you and Li Chao are too young and have been in the central prime minister in your twenties. Of course, I believe in your ability, but now if you go to the government and stay in the local area for a few years, you can also temper and increase your experience."
"clear."
"Are you willing to go? If you don't, I won't force you."
"I do, thank you for your consideration for your consideration."
"You still have the title of Pingzhang. You were formerly the Minister of Personnel, and were changed to the Minister of War, and then went to Shuofang to serve as the Grand Governor of Shuofang Road."
Li Shimin thought about it all, and Li Chao was dismissed from the position of Shuofang Jiedu and the Minister of War, and was renamed the founding envoy of Hanjing and the Minister of Revenue. The former Minister of Revenue Du Ruhui was renamed the Minister of Personnel, and the former Minister of Personnel, Sun Wuji was renamed the Minister of War.
Chai Shao was still transferred to the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and was transferred to the position of governor of Hexi Road.
After such adjustments, the two young and inconsistent prime ministers Changsun Wuji and Li Chao, who were only in their twenties, were transferred to the local area for employment.
This is not only Li Shimin strengthening local control, but also keeps all officials in the court shut up and saves the whole day saying that he is nepotism.
"When will Li Chao leave Beijing?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"I want to leave him more time, and other preliminary matters such as location selection can be done by others. Just take charge of preparations in Beijing. There are still many things in Beijing. The martial arts lecture hall admissions exam is about to begin, so he has to preside over it."
"Well, I plan to visit him before leaving Beijing and talk about the situation in Shuofang."
