Chapter 257 Imperial Garden
The Imperial Garden is located in the Tai Chi Palace. There are a large number of flowers and plants planted in the garden. It is the place where Li Shimin usually goes to relax.
It¡¯s just that this imperial garden sounds very grand, but in fact it is not very large. It is summer, flowers are in bloom, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant in the imperial garden, and the scenery is excellent.
Li Shimin was in a good mood, so he set up a big table in the imperial garden and invited several concubines in the palace who had given birth to children.
Li Shimin¡¯s sons are now mostly adults and have gone to the fiefdoms. Only King Li Zhi of Jin has remained in Chang¡¯an City.
So Li Shimin called Li Zhen and Li Zhi over, and they gathered together to enjoy the flowers, drink and eat.
In the Tang Dynasty, the royal meals of the Imperial Palace were made from fresh ingredients from all over the country, and were prepared by the Shangshi Bureau. The Shangshi Bureau served two emperors, five chief cooks, eight cooks, 16 main cooks, and 840 main cooks. So many.
Among them, the food doctor is responsible for coordinating the food and taboos of the four seasons, and the staple food doctor is responsible for leading the main meal to perform its duties and prepare meals for the emperor. The main dishes that can enter the Provincial Food Bureau in the palace are all experts in making gourmet food from all over the world, and their cooking skills are exquisite.
At present, Shangshi Bureau has prepared dozens of delicacies, and everyone is sitting around the table, enjoying themselves.
Li Shimin said to Li Zhen, "Zhen'er, you are famous far and wide. Why don't you use this banquet to recite a poem to help you get drunk?"
Li Zhenxin said something bad, the emperor wants to test himself.
At the moment, my mind is constantly searching for poems I know.
Fortunately, there are many poems in the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" that Li Zhen learned, and Li Zhen actually found one.
Li Zhen said at that moment, the minister would recite a poem to help the wine.
Then he chanted: "The peak of the purple camel emerges from the green cauldron, and the water essence is coiled on the scales. The rhinoceros chopsticks have not been pressed down for a long time, and the luan knives cut through the empty space. The flying horses at the Huangmen do not sit still, and the imperial chefs come to deliver eight treasures." "
¡°What a poem!¡±
Li Shimin¡¯s friend Yan Dayue, Li Zhen¡¯s ¡°improvisational¡± poem is extremely skillful and expresses the skills of the royal chefs very well.
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi again, which meant that he wanted Li Zhi to also recite a poem.
Li Zhi couldn't do anything, so he coughed twice and said: "Father, I have been suffering from cold and headache recently, and I can't think of good poems."
"Um."
Li Shimin nodded and turned his head away without forcing Li Zhi.
Li Zhi then wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
After this small detail, everyone got to know Li Zhen and Li Zhi better. Several imperial concubines couldn't help but think to themselves, no wonder Li Zhen could become the prince because he was born as a concubine, but Li Zhi could only be the king of Jin. The talents of these two people are much different.
It seems that it is not unreasonable for the emperor to choose Li Zhen as the crown prince.
Since this period of the Tang Dynasty was going smoothly and Li Zhen eliminated Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin was in a very good mood and there was chatting and laughing at the banquet.
From time to time, I asked Li Zhen some interesting things about the expedition, and Li Zhen answered them one by one.
"Father, I encountered thousands of yellow sheep during the march, and killed several hundred of them, and gave the soldiers a feast of roasted yellow sheep. The taste was delicious."
"I also encountered a pack of wolves, hundreds of them"
Li Zhen was very eloquent. When he said something, he immediately spoke vividly and vividly. Li Shimin was particularly happy to hear it. He nodded repeatedly and took a sip of wine with a smile from time to time.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Shimin said: "Now that our country, the Tang Dynasty, is peaceful and the people are at peace, we are becoming stronger and stronger. We, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely create a grand event unprecedented in the world."
"It's a pity that the queen is no longer here. If the queen were here, it would be great to see this day."
Li Shimin was a little sad when he said this. Li Shimin's feelings for Queen Changsun were real. Queen Changsun was indeed a virtuous queen, and she was also very helpful to Li Shimin. Unfortunately, Queen Changsun died early, and now only Li Zhi remains among the three sons left.
As soon as Li Shimin mentioned Empress Changsun, Li Zhi shed tears.
Li Zhi said in his mouth: "Father, this is the spirit of the queen mother in heaven to protect me, the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin sighed and said: "Let's not talk about these sad things. In the past two years, I have gradually felt that my energy is low and I don't have that much energy to deal with political affairs. I plan to hand over the power of appointment and removal of officials below the third rank of the court to the prince."
Li Zhen said quickly: "My father is strong and in his prime. I am still young and I am afraid that I cannot bear such a heavy burden."
Li Shimin was very happy when he heard what Li Zhen said, but he still said: "You are the crown prince of the country, and the futureEmperor, now is the time to practice handling political affairs. This matter is settled. "
Li Zhen had no choice but to salute Li Shimin and said, "That's it, I'll give it a try."
"It's not about giving it a try, it's about doing it well, and I believe in your ability to handle things well."
After Li Shimin said this, he felt very comfortable.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Father, I have something to say."
"Please." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Li Zhen took out the longevity ointment and said: "Father, this is the blessing and longevity ointment that Concubine Yang asked my mother to give to me. I was thinking that this thing is so precious, why not give it to Concubine Yang so that she can live forever. Stay young and stay healthy.¡±
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since this is Zhen'er's filial piety, Concubine Yang, just accept it."
Concubine Yang stood up with a complicated expression on her face. Seeing Li Shimin speak, she had no choice but to accept the Fushou ointment.
At this time, Li Zhen said again: "Mother Yang, what is the use of this longevity ointment?"
"It can prolong life and make people healthy." Concubine Yang replied.
"In that case, why didn't Concubine Yang take this longevity ointment in public?"
Concubine Yang's face changed and she said, "How can you take this longevity ointment so rare and easy to take it?" Concubine Yang said.
"I'm afraid that Concubine Yang won't dare to accept it." Li Zhen said with a cold snort.
"What does the prince mean by this? I don't understand." Concubine Yang said.
Li Zhen said: "If this longevity ointment can really prolong life, how could my mother and concubine be like this?"
At that moment, Li Zhen bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Father, what Concubine Yang gave to my mother and I was obviously a blessing and longevity ointment, but it was actually a poppy ointment!"
"Poppy paste?" Everyone was stunned.
Although poppy is rare, everyone has heard of it.
Li Zhen continued: "This poppy paste is poisonous. Taking it for a long time will make people dependent. At the same time, it will destroy the human body and make people dependent on poppy. Father, how could Concubine Yang want her mother to do so?" He Erchen is in good health, but he clearly wants to kill someone!"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed coldly, he looked at Concubine Yang, and said, "Concubine Yang, do you know the harmful effects of this poppy ointment?"
Concubine Yang shook her head repeatedly, knelt down, and said to Li Shimin: "I don't know!"
At this time, Li Zhen made up for the damage in time and said: "Since you don't know, why didn't you dare to take this poppy ointment just now? You are obviously guilty of committing a crime!"
