As early as the Han Dynasty, "Huainanzi·Spirit Chapter" mentioned the fineness, lightness and deliciousness of Lingnan cuisine (Cantonese cuisine). After so many years of development, Lingnan cuisine has reached a new height at that time.
Therefore, if Li Zhi can eat more light dishes, add some daily exercise, and supplement with Sun Simiao's prescriptions, it should not be a problem to sustain him for another twenty or thirty years.
Li Hong stood there and didn't bother to pay attention to the out-of-breath Long Ma who was giggling. He raised his head and thought for a while and said: "Well... Since Father, you like sweet and salty things, there is no problem, especially about "It's salty. There's a condiment that can make it delicious. I'll have to research it when I get back."
Wu Mei finished laughing, then straightened her clothes, looked at Li Hong but still had a smile on her face, and said, "This refined salt is good enough, can we make even more refined salt?"
"No, no, no, I remember that there is another kind of seasoning recorded in an ancient book. Although it cannot completely replace the role of refined salt, it can make the dishes, especially... Don't say no to chopped green onions anymore, on the basis of adding less refined salt. And coriander." Li Hong suddenly stopped talking and looked at Wu Mei warily.
When Wu Mei heard "especially", she knew that Li Hong was going to talk about soup again. Just when she was about to say coriander and chopped green onion again, she heard Li Hong's warning, but she still started to laugh again for no reason, and then continued I can't help but laugh.
Wu Mei laughed out of breath again, tears welling up in her eyes as she laughed, and asked: "Did you... did you... read it from that "Baidu" you mentioned?"
Li Hong looked depressed. He didn't know why he smiled so exaggeratedly for such a joke.
But he still replied: "Well, I remember it was recorded in this book. I have studied it in my free time these days, and I guarantee it will be better than that refined salt."
"Okay, if it's as good as you say, when the cooks you mentioned arrive and pass the assessment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they can be let in." Wu Mei knew that this was Li Hong's filial piety, so naturally she couldn't refuse.
"I would like to express my gratitude to my mother. Once my father's health gets better, a combination of food and exercise, as well as Sun Simiao's prescriptions, should be able to significantly alleviate my father's illness." Li Hong concluded.
But when Li Zhi heard that he usually exercised more, he felt a numbness in his back for no reason. Although he didn't know what went wrong, he just felt that this little bastard said that when he usually exercised more, he felt a "always" feeling. I feel like the unruly people want to harm me."
Li Hong, who walked out of the Penglai Hall, was accompanied by Bai Chun and walked slowly towards the East Palace under the light of the crescent moon and the lanterns in the hands of the two eunuchs.
Along the way, Li Hong told Bai Chun who was standing by him in Wu Mei's dormitory just now about his father's decision to grant him the title of minister, and about his mother's interrogation of him and Pei Wanying.
Bai Chun was so excited when she heard that, she hugged Li Hong's arm tightly in her arms, not caring that someone's arm was deliberately rubbing against her chest, and congratulated Li Hong happily on becoming a big brother. The most powerful prince of the Tang Empire.
Although Li Hong looked high-spirited on the surface and was happy for himself in line with Bai Chun's excitement, he knew that this was just the beginning. The road he wanted to take was the first step. Now comes the real dangerous period.
From now on, my father who can sit as stable as the emperor, my mother who can sit in the queen's position and intervene in politics at will, and I who can flex my muscles in the position of minister will form a powerful figure in the court of the Tang Dynasty. It's a three-legged situation.
Of course, it goes without saying that the father, as the number one person in the Tang Dynasty, as long as he is in good health and shouts from the top of the court, neither his mother nor himself can pose a threat, and the Tang Dynasty will still firmly control him. In his hands.
As for my mother, after these years of being half-involved in politics and half-ruling, her network of contacts in the court has been extremely extensive and terrifying. It was also because my father saw this that he appointed herself to the post of Shangshu Ling of Shangshu Province without hesitation. .
As for me, after the death of Shangshu Lingjia, although he was not as powerful as the emperor, the crown prince of the East Palace, the Shangshu Ling, the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate, after they had real power, they were completely This would allow the queen mother to continue to interfere deeply in politics above the court, forming an effective containment.
The three of them restricted each other, but there was one thing that made it difficult for Li Hong to be happy. That was the fact that the original Zen position in history was changed to the title of Minister.
In this way, the father and the mother are formed. In the traditional sense, each of them has one thing in their hands that they have to obey and wait for them to give to them.
My father still has the card of General Tiance, which he once served as Grandfather, in his hand but has not played it. If he can add the title of General Tiance at any time, it will mean that the throne of the Tang Dynasty has been It's his own possession.
Similarly, the queen mother still had a card in her hand to select the crown princess and when to marry the crown princess, but she didn't play it out. Although "starting a family and establishing a career" cannot be said to be an obstacle to him, if he wants to inherit the throne, it is impossible for a bachelor prince to inherit the throne, right
Therefore, when will the Queen Mother choose the Crown Princess for herself and when will she get married? When all of this is done, then in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she will be qualified to inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty.
Both of them hold a destiny in their hands, but today they also gave themselves another "sweet date"!
What my father gave me was the post of Minister of the Ministry of Finance. Anxi and his party had achieved so much that they wanted to be in the court. My father discussed with the ministers. I am afraid that someone was obstructing him and he was not willing to let his father give me the title of Minister. job.
And what the Queen Mother has given her is Pei Wanying. You can bring Pei Wanying into the Prince's Palace in the East Palace. Anyway, Pei Xingjian is yours now, and I don't care.
But as for marrying Pei Wanying in the name of the Crown Princess, don't think about it, Li Hong. As for who will be chosen to become the Crown Princess, that is something that the Queen should worry about, and it is not your turn to have a say in this matter.
Therefore, according to the current system of the East Palace, with one crown prince, two Liangdi, six Liangyuan, ten Chengwei, sixteen Zhaoxun and twenty-four Fengyi, Pei Wanying can only be Liangdi at most. One of them.
But what reassures Li Hong is that no matter who he chooses, the queen mother will not choose the crown princess for herself from the five surnames and seven families. After all, he and his mother were of the same mind when it came to re-employing the nobles from poor families. As for the suppression of the five surnames and seven families, the queen mother and herself were unanimous in speaking out.
Then it is very likely that Yang Sijian’s daughter will be chosen? At least in history, He Lan Minzhi, who had been executed by himself, cuckolded Li Hong in history because he was greedy for the beauty of Yang Sijian's daughter.
After confirming the beauty and ugliness of Yang Sijian's daughter, what made Li Hong even more excited was, should he find an opportunity to secretly see if Yang Sijian's daughter was really as beautiful as the legend said? Is Pei Wanying as beautiful as her? Is there any Bai Chunmei
Someone above the court was listening to the memorials of the ministers, but his mind had already drifted to the home of Yang Sijian, who was teaching students in Chongwen Hall.
After spending a whole morning doing nothing, I listened to nothing serious for a long time, and if there was anything serious, I had to wait until I was summoned alone after going to court to talk about it.
Finally, after the eunuch's sharp voice sounded, someone pulled his wandering thoughts from the door of Yang Sijian's house in Chang'an City back to the reality above the court.
"Di Renjie stays." Li Hong said while looking at the many officials exiting the Zichen Palace in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty Di Renjie obeys your order." Di Renjie, holding the board in his hand, finally waited for the call from His Highness the Crown Prince.
After all the ministers left, Di Renjie followed Li Hong out of the Zichen Palace. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Hong say: "Well, you go to the East Palace and wait for me first. Today is the first time that my father has been in charge of prison while he is still in Chang'an." "My country, you have to go over and report the situation above the court. At least tell your father whether you have followed the court rules or not, so as not to worry him."
After saying that, someone patted Di Renjie on the shoulder and walked to the harem accompanied by Hua Meng and Mang Zhong.
Someone felt guilty after just two steps. When he was thinking about whether to go back to the East Palace to discuss things with Di Renjie before going to the harem, Lian Tie's face that Li Hong hated appeared in his sight.
"Your Highness, the queen has asked my servant to invite you to Penglai Hall to explain." Even Tiepi smiled, and there was a hint of fear in his expression.
He had no choice but to be afraid or not. This matter reached the ears of His Majesty and the Queen early in the morning, and even spread throughout the palace.
When His Majesty and the Queen were still in Chang'an for the first time to supervise the country, the Crown Prince got up early to go to court. He actually broke into the Zichen Palace from Danfeng Gate. Along the way, he encountered gods and killed gods and Buddhas killed Buddhas.
Dozens of the Jinwu guards guarding the Daming Palace were beaten with bruises and swollen faces by His Highness the Crown Prince and the two eunuchs. They ran back to the camp dejectedly, like lost dogs.
Moreover, according to the Jinwu Guards who were most seriously injured, if His Highness the Crown Prince had not come late to the court in the morning and was in a hurry to go to the court, he would probably have chased them into the barracks.
Seeing several Jin Wuwei with bruises on their noses and swollen faces, and wounds on their hands and feet, Li Zhi was so angry that he not only coughed, but his hands were shaking with anger, but even so, the vertigo did not occur.
Wu Mei looked at the Jinwu Guards without saying a word, but held the feather duster tightly with one jade hand. The maids looking at the side felt that the feather duster was full of anger and murderous intent.
But because the culprit was attending the morning court, and it was his first time, the emperor and empress had no choice but to endure it until the next court, and then send people to catch the little brat and bring it to the harem.
