Chapter 837
Li Zhi did not stop in Zhengzhou for a simple rest. One of the most important things for the emperor to go on tour was to buy people's hearts.
The road chosen, the site chosen for the construction of the palace, and the time of the stop are all very particular.
At this time, when the emperor met with local officials and local gentry, he would show great sincerity and patience, and was willing to listen to these people’s opinions and views on the dynasty. Few people just got angry and punished those people because they heard harsh words. A person who speaks the truth.
Such a thing is a once-in-a-century opportunity for the locality. Once their request or suggestion that is beneficial to the locality is adopted by the emperor, a good thing that is enough to be famous in the locality through the ages will happen, and then be recognized by the local people. The villagers have sung it for thousands of years.
For example, the emperor drank a bowl of sour and sticky soup with a lot of pepper, and was sweated by the pepper. He said hello casually, and the faces of the local officials and even the gentry present showed proud expressions.
Zhengzhou Hu spicy soup really lives up to its reputation!
While everyone was happily tasting the bowl of hot and spicy soup, Li Si, who was standing behind Li Hong and dressed in princely attire, looked contemptuous.
Just then, he accompanied the emperor to meet local officials, great Confucians, celebrities, squires, and rich men in Zhengzhou.
The emperor wants to win people's hearts, but it is the local people who are ready to be won by the emperor who pay the money.
At least pay for the banquet expenses for the emperor to entertain them.
Although Zhengzhou is not a small place, but if you want to hold a big banquet to entertain the emperor and empress, the involvement in the middle is not just the food.
It can be said that within a hundred miles, only Li Si's kitchen has this ability, even the emperor and the imperial cooks brought by the empress cannot compare with it.
It's not that the cooking skills of the imperial chefs are not as good as those brought by Li Si, but that under Li Hong's intimidation, the imperial chefs dare not say that they are stronger than the cooks 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, queen, prince and other nobles.
This is the standard way of only wanting to make money but not taking any responsibility, and it is also Li Hong's way of caring for his sister.
In the snowy season, the emperor sat in a warm shed and had a drink with high-ranking officials, great Confucians, and famous scholars, while those small officials, rich men, and landlords could only stand in the snow and watch the emperor drink with those local bigwigs.
It was very cold, but people's hearts were very hot. When the emperor stayed in Chang'an and Luoyang did not go out, they were very dissatisfied with the emperor of Tang Dynasty.
Now, the emperor personally came to the land where they lived, and was willing to listen to their views and opinions, so their hearts, which were originally disappointed with Datang, suddenly became hot.
The emperor rewarded them with a bowl of Hu spicy soup to drink, lest they stand in the snow and be frozen.
The Hu spicy soup that the emperor drank is naturally different from the original Hu spicy soup in Zhengzhou. The earliest Hu spicy soup in Zhengzhou did not have pepper, only sour, pungent sour taste, which was added to this vulgar local snack by the imperial chef and the chef of the big dining hall. Yes, after the expensive ingredients such as pepper, yellow flower, fungus, beef slices, etc., after softening the pungent sour taste, a new hot and sour soup with the pungent smell of pepper appeared.
Pepper is very precious. It is a special kindness for the emperor to reward them with a bowl of peppery soup on a snowy day.
The ability to reconcile the five flavors is a must-have skill for every high-end canteen chef. In this regard, the canteen chefs who have rich experience in improving snacks are better than those royal chefs.
Watching his father applaud the improved version of Hu spicy soup, Li Si knew that the improvement of Hu spicy soup was extremely successful this time.
It doesn't matter whether others like it or not, as long as my father likes it, if others don't like it, it can only be said that his drunkenness is not right, and his tongue can't feel the delicious taste.
As long as time passed, their tastes would quickly approach that of the emperor.
Because the emperor rewarded him with hot and spicy soup, standing in front of the lowly people in the snow, there was an extra person, a futon, and an extra bamboo umbrella on his head.
After drinking the Hu spicy soup, it warms the body, which means that the emperor has felt the coldness experienced by the people of Zhengzhou over the years and wants to change.
There is an umbrella on the head to save Bai Xue from the pain, which shows that the emperor already knows all the sufferings that Zhengzhou people have endured, and there are mistakes from the court. Now, the emperor is willing to give them an umbrella to cover their suffering.
One side is short and a futon is a symbol of participating in the banquet. Obviously, the emperor's reward today clearly tells these people that they have the qualifications to be on the table of the Tang Dynasty.
When each person was rewarded with a pot of three taels of anti-virus medicine, some white-bearded and white-haired gentry couldn't help crying.
Just when Li Zhi was puzzled, Xu Jingzong, who also had white beard and white hair, explained in a low voice why these gentlemen were crying.
Li Zhi said in surprise: "Can you still explain it like this?"
Li Jingxuan hastily said: "Your Majesty is mighty, he moves with every breath, even though it is a simple reward, falling on these people is also a great grace of the emperor."
Li Zhi laughed loudly, waved his hand to the eunuch, and rewarded the bumpkins with the mountain of food in front of him.
Although there are many meals in front of the emperor, it is still far from enough to distribute to 600 people.
There was only a handful of food on the plate in front of everyone, but after the eunuchs distributed the food evenly, Li Zhi came to the side of the shed with his wine glass high and shouted: "Drinking wins! "
More than [-] 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, the cry of "Your Majesty Wannian" resounded throughout the teaching and military field.
Faced with such an enthusiastic scene, Li Zhi broke out into extremely hearty laughter from time to time.
Li Hong took the opportunity to ask Li Si to serve the dishes he had prepared long ago, and as soon as those people finished the previous dish, the next dish would be served immediately.
After Li Zhi took a mouthful of sour soup balls, he turned to look at Li Jingxuan who was sitting at the third table from the left.
Li Jingxuan immediately stepped forward and heard Li Zhi ask: "Today's banquet is very in line with my wishes, and those who prepare the banquet will be rewarded."
Li Jingxuan said with a smile: "Such a banquet is worth more than [-] troops. As for the preparation, it will be behind His Majesty."
When Li Zhi just ate, there was always someone helping to prepare the dishes. Looking at the sleeves, he thought it was Li Hong, but when he turned around, he found that it was Li Si who was wearing the prince's clothes.
"Nonsense, good royal princess, how decent is it to wear men's clothes?"
Li Si said with a smile: "Only in this way can I share my father's worries."
Li Zhi frowned and said, "Only this once."
Li Sidao: "My boy is good at preparing banquets, that's all I can do, and I still want to serve my father all the way."
Li Zhi looked at the civil and military officials in the shed, and then at the local gentry in Zhengzhou who were eating and drinking very enthusiastically, and felt that it was not a big deal for Li Si to help prepare the banquet, so he agreed immediately.
Li Si, who received the emperor's permission, immediately beamed with joy.
Seeing Li Si smiling brightly, Li Zhi raised his hand to stroke his daughter's face for the first time...
Naturally, none of the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty was given for nothing. His Majesty the Emperor had already given favor to the Zhengzhou gentry, so these gentry must return something.
They are professionals in such things as taking advantage of the opportunity. Seeing the civil and military officials disperse and walk into the group of gentry, whether it is Xu Jingzong or Li Jingxuan, there is an inexplicable smile on their faces.
The Tang court used to be too domineering when dealing with local affairs. Now, it should be a new change to be able to show rare gentleness through a banquet.
The person who knows how to ride a horse the most in the Tang Dynasty is Ji Wang Li Shen.
At the beginning, I ran fifty miles a day. After meeting the emperor, I discussed some things that I couldn't decide, and then went back. That's a hundred miles.
Then, I ran a hundred miles a day, repeated what happened the first day, and then rushed back overnight.
Now, he set off from Luoyang in the early morning and had already reached Zhengzhou, three hundred miles away, in the middle of the night.
Yunchu used to run [-] miles a day, but at that time, he was chased by Turkic cavalry, and he would die if he didn't run, so he ran [-] miles willingly.
It's just that after running the three hundred miles, Yunchu could only walk with his legs crossed, and it lasted for half a month.
After riding on horseback for a long time, the two hip shafts that could move freely will be locked in the state of riding, not to mention that the tender skin on the inner thighs is tortured by the saddle and there is no good place.
Li Shen's body is far less durable than Yunchu's, but he can persist in running for three hundred miles, so he knows how tortured he is by being the supervisor of the country.
Just then, he accompanied the emperor to meet local officials, great Confucians, celebrities, squires, and rich men in Zhengzhou.
Witnessed Li Zhi's emperor's methods in Huairou for the first time.
This time, Li Shen didn't run back to Luoyang overnight, which had already exceeded the limit of his ability, and also exceeded the limit of his body.
After meeting Yun Chu at Hulao Pass, he fell off his horse and fell unconscious.
After the military doctor cut open Li Shen's lower garment with scissors, he saw the guy's thighs, the flesh on his butt was rolled up, and there was no good skin to be seen.
Because it was winter, the possibility of inflammation and festering was lower, so Yunchu didn't ask the military doctor to clean his wound with antivirus, but chose relatively mild willow water.
Even so, Li Shen woke up from the coma in pain, grabbed Yunchu's hand and said, "Yuchu, I'd rather die—"
After yelling, he passed out again.
Rourou put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Li Shen, who had a sallow face, and said to Yunchu: "He will supervise the country this time, and he must make a big mistake."
Yun Chu said: "Li Hong is right that he doesn't want to stay in Luoyang, but he didn't expect to hurt Li Shen."
He smiled gently and said: "The Jian Guo Jian is done, it means that Ji Wang is also suitable to be an emperor, and the Jian Guo Jian has a big incident, which shows that Ji Wang is incompetent and needs to be punished. It is all about the country's laws and regulations, and even the old gods There is no room for beaks.
Cao Wang and Li Ming had published the memorial book last night. In the memorial book, he said that he was incompetent and incompetent. For his sake, build him a royal residence in Chang'an, and allow him, a wealthy younger brother, to enjoy his life's wealth in Chang'an. "
When Yunchu was lamenting that the matter of Xuanzong's sixteenth king's house was about to happen early, Li Shen opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed Yunchu's hand and said, "Help me up, I want to go to the book, I want to go back to Chang'an to be at ease." The carved stone of the heart..."
Li Shen stayed in the Yunchu military camp for an hour because of the treatment of his buttocks and legs. After an hour, it was really bad, so he asked for a carriage from Yunchu, and drove to Luoyang overnight. As for the letter he wrote for the emperor "Foolish Please Retire" also went to Zhengzhou overnight.
The misery of a few people will not cause a change in the sky. The first snow in winter has finally stopped. The land was white and clean, but it just went to Luoyang with a rut, and Zhengzhou with a horseshoe.
This time, because of arranging a banquet, Li Si finally met her longing mother.
When Li Si fell down in front of Wu Mei with a puff, 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...
I'm not in good health, and I'm back to the maintenance station for repairs.
