Chapter Seventeen
"Is this the list formulated by the Ministry of Rites?"
Li Shimin's eyes showed a stern look at the Minister of Rites in front of him and said.
At this time, the Minister of Rites Lu Kuan couldn't help but sweat behind his back under this gaze. This emperor is not easy to deceive.
The Xuanwu Gate Incident, which had just not been long, is vivid in my mind. He will never forget the cold side of this emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has reviewed his merits, and that's true."
Lu Kuan said with a thorn in his teeth, and he naturally knew why this Majesty was like this, because according to the above records, the general occupied the majority.
"Forget it, you go back!"
After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin spoke out, "In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Ministry of Rites, because there are still many things that people don't know about here."
For example, only he knew many of the plans of the civil minister in Tiance Prefecture before, and they were not recorded in the book. After all, at that time he was just the King of Qin.
However, even if he added it, how should he rank it? Li Shimin couldn't help but have a headache for a moment.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin finally didn't start writing and gave the specific rankings of these people.
"Let's go to the Royal Garden first."
In the end, Li Shimin decided to breathe a sigh of relief before talking about it. Even when facing the rankings, he still couldn't say it.
After all, there will always be people who are dissatisfied, but when they came to the Imperial Garden and saw Guanyinbi alone, Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder.
"I've seen Your Majesty."
After seeing Li Shimin, Empress Changsun couldn't help but stand up, and a trace of affection appeared between her eyebrows and eyes and said.
"Guanyin Bi, where is Gao Mingli Qi?"
Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said, although he had already said that he would not have to salute, Empress Changsun was still the same.
"I've gone to the farm outside Yafu."
"They were going yesterday, but Yafu was not in the city."
Queen Changsun seemed to think of several children and couldn't help but say a little kindness, but at this time Li Shimin felt that she was in a bad mood.
"This old man, after he gave up a trouble, he knew he ran away."
Li Shimin said a little angrily, obviously he was worried about this matter.
"Your Majesty, Father Ya is old, but he is much smarter than when he was young."
Empress Changsun covered her mouth slightly and chuckled. Between her father and husband, she chose to stand above the truth.
She knew a little more about the affairs in the court. Although the harem cannot interfere in politics, it does not mean that they don’t even understand it.
The couple's plan in the court made her a little laugh and cry. It seemed that the two of them had disliked each other from the beginning.
"Your Majesty, why should I ask Yafu how it is?"
Queen Changsun's eyes flashed and said, "You must know that as the queen, if there is no special situation, it will be very difficult to leave the palace."
Of course, even if Empress Changsun has this idea, as the lord of the harem, she sets an example.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, but he seemed to remember something again, and his eyes became a little dimmed.
"Let's go together, I've never been there yet."
Li Shimin's faint voice sounded. In fact, the minister's family went to win people's hearts when he was the King of Qin.
After ascending the throne, I went there once or twice, but it was no longer as many times as when I was the King of Qin, but whether it was before or after ascending the throne.
Speaking of which, he has never been to this cheap father-in-law's mansion. However, Empress Changsun often went back to stay for a few days when she was a princess.
"good!"
Queen Changsun said with a smile in her eyes, "If it can alleviate the confrontation between the father-in-law and son-in-law, he will naturally be what he is willing to see."
......
The wind blows and the north of autumn is already very cold, but this still cannot stop the children's joyful mood.
"Grandpa An, Changle wants to eat this and this one."
In a farmhouse, Xiao Changle's cheerful voice sounded, pointing at the fruit for a while, and then pointing at the vegetable for a while.
"Okay, grandpa will pick it for you."
Shu An couldn't help but smile when he looked at the little luoli and said, "The farm has opened up a large vegetable garden."
It is not easy to plant various fruits and vegetables on it. Some of the soil is transported from other regions.
"You two, pick what you want to eat tonight."
Shu An looked at Gao Ming and Qing Que and said, but at this time they seemed to be a little hesitant. After all, the two of them, who were of noble origin, had never picked fruits and vegetables.
"Grandpa An, gentleman stays away from the kitchen."
Gao Ming hesitated for a while and said, with a hint of reluctance in his words.
"You should read thoroughly. This sentence was used by Mencius to persuade King Xuan of Qi to implement benevolent government."
"What's more, gentlemen are Confucianism. As a superior, Confucianism can be used, but it cannot be reused."
"And you have picked it from Grandpa An and your mother, even your father must have had this experience. Can't you two pick it?"
Shu An took a light look and said slowly. Although he was considered Confucian, in his opinion, Confucianism is just a kind of tool.
The little fat man took the lead in doing it. He didn't care about Confucianism, but Grandpa An's last words aroused his interest.
That’s right, my father, mother and grandfather An can pick fruits and vegetables, why can’t he?
As for Gao Ming's words, he saw that his younger brother had entered the vegetable garden, and gritted his teeth and picked up a basket to pick it up.
"Laifu, besides grilling fish, go and kill two ducks, one of which is made into white-cut duck in the kitchen, and the other one is roasted."
Shu'an continued to speak, there is naturally a small ranch with a vegetable garden, and there are many chickens and ducks, and of course there are quite a few pigs.
Because of seasoning, there are not many foods that can be made in later generations, but white-cut duck and roast duck are still OK.
In this era, the main meat was mutton, and the top meat was beef. However, due to the shortage of plowing oxen, it was banned from eating beef.
If it is discovered, it will be sentenced. As for pigs, it is called pigs in this era.
However, the cycle of raising a pig takes two or three years, and the pig needs a lot of food, ordinary people cannot afford it at all, and they can't even think about it.
As for wealthy families, they look down on pork because pork is eaten by poor people. This kind of cognition should have been formed for a long time.
Of course, this is nothing to Shu'an. On the one hand, he has enough financial support. After all, he made a lot of money in his early years.
In addition, he is used to eating pork. After all, most of the modern dining tables are pork, not mutton.
"It's a pity that there are only black pigs and no white pigs, otherwise the cycle wouldn't be so slow."
