    ?

    Daxing Palace, when the capital of Luoyang was not moved to Luoyang in the Sui Dynasty, was the imperial palace of the Sui Dynasty, and it was also the place where the emperor listened to the government and handled government affairs.  Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the political center was always in Daxing Palace.

    That is, after Tang Gaozong, the emperor moved to Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace, and Daxing Palace lost its former importance.  After Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty, Daxing Palace was renamed Taiji Palace.

    Today, it is still Daxing Palace.

    The Ganlu Hall in Daxing Palace is where Li Yuan governed and rested.

    The night is not dark now. Although Li Yuan is old, he is in good spirits. He is still reviewing the submitted memorials.  After all, the Tang Dynasty was not long after the founding of the country, and there were many government affairs, and Li Yuan was also extremely busy.

    "Step! Step!"

    The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

    It was the servant who entered, stood beside Li Yuan, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Qin is begging to see you."

    Li Yuan raised his head, raised his brows, showing an expression of surprise.  In most cases, Li Shimin would not enter the palace at night, but now it is extremely rare for him to enter the palace in such a hurry to see him at night.

    Li Yuan ordered: "Xuan!"

    The servant immediately gave orders, and after a while, Li Shimin strode in.  After he stood still, he lifted his robe and saluted, "I see my father."

    "sit!"

    Li Yuan waved his hand and gave instructions.

    Immediately, Li Yuan asked: "Now it's getting late and the palace gate is closed, why did you come into the palace?"

    Li Shimin replied: "Reporting to my father, my son got twelve dishes today. Each dish is a peerless delicacy, which is rare in the world. Therefore, my son specially entered the palace and presented it to my father, asking my father to taste it.  "

    "Send it in!"

    Li Shimin gave an order.

    The attendants outside the Ganlu Hall entered with food boxes one by one, took out all the dishes, and placed them one by one on the desk in front of Li Yuan.  At this time, all the dishes were not cold yet, they were still warm and exuded a strong fragrance.

    After Li Yuan saw it, he smelled it, and he was also tongue-tied, and his appetite suddenly came up. A smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Erlang, you have a heart. Yes, these are all good!"

    "Bring the bowls and chopsticks!"

    After Li Yuan gave an order, a waiter brought the bowls and chopsticks.  However, according to the rules, the servant is going to taste it first, this is to ensure that the food offered is not poisonous.

    However, Li Yuan took the chopsticks and waved his hand to let the servant back down.

    He didn't believe that Li Shimin wanted to poison him.

    What's more, the crown prince is now Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin poisoning him will not do any good.

    Li Yuan ate pork knuckle first, although it was not complete, there was only a small portion.  But for an old man like Li Yuan, this small piece of meat skin, soft and fragrant, creamy and soft, is enough.

    After Li Yuan ate it in one gulp, his eyes lit up, and he said three words 'yes' in succession. He finished the pork knuckle in two or three bites, and then started to eat the rest of the dishes.

    However, when Li Yuan ate the beef, he frowned.

    Li Shimin was familiar with Li Yuan's temperament, and quickly explained: "Father, this beef is beef after death from illness. My son knows the importance of farming cattle. This is the foundation of the country, so I dare not do anything wrong."

    Li Yuan was in a good mood. Hearing Li Shimin's explanation, he immediately laughed and said, "You just need to understand."

    He is eating right now.

    I am very happy in my heart.

    Li Yuan especially loves soft and greasy dishes like pork knuckle and braised pork.  Although there are twelve dishes, in fact, the amount of each dish is not much. However, Li Yuan is too old to eat so much. After tasting some dishes for a while, he didn't eat more, after all, he couldn't digest them.

    After Li Yuan finished eating, he took a sip of the chicken soup and said with emotion: "These twelve dishes are indeed peerless delicacies, and they are delicious. I have never tasted such dishes. Erlang, where did you get the ten dishes?"  Two courses."

    Li Shimin bowed and said: "Father, these twelve dishes are actually made by Du Qi. Originally, my ministers hosted a banquet tonight, so Du Erlang recommended himself, saying that he would be in charge of the dishes for the banquet."

    "I thought to myself, even though Du Erlang is young, he can distinguish the importance. He dared to say that, so I let him arrange it. At that time, I didn't really care much about it."

    "I didn't expect Du Erlang's dishes to shine as soon as the banquet started in the evening."

    "Amazing."

    Li Shimin said: "This is the first time I have eaten it, so I immediately ordered Du Erlang to prepare a separate portion and put it in a food box.??He specially brought it to his father.  "

    Now Li Shimin has changed his tune.

    It was not Du Qi's suggestion, but Li Shimin's initiative. Only in this way can Li Shimin make Li Yuan happy, which is why Du Qi let Li Shimin enter the palace overnight.

    After hearing this, Li Yuan nodded in praise repeatedly, and said, "Erlang, you have a heart."

    Li Shimin said: "Father Huang praised it absurdly."

    Li Yuan said: "Now that I have eaten Du Erlang's dishes, I am afraid that if I eat other dishes, it will be tasteless. It is a pity that Du Erlang is young, especially because he is not a chef. It is not appropriate to let him enter the imperial dining room."

    Li Shimin smiled slightly and replied: "Father, this matter is actually simple. After the son returned, he summoned Du Erlang and asked him to hand over the recipe and method of making the dishes. In this way, the royal chef of the father naturally knows how to cook.  Method. It is a breeze for Father to eat delicious dishes."

    "Not bad!"

    There was a bright smile on Li Yuan's face, all the creases were stretched out, and he said: "Your method is very good, I will leave this matter to you. Erlang, you are doing a good job now. Zhenshoudan  At that time, the pills and "New Wu Qin Xi" you gave were also very good. These days, you have put your heart into it."

    Li Shimin said: "This is the duty of the minister."

    In his heart, there was emotion.

    It has been a long time since Li Yuan praised him for his hard work in a few words.  Now through twelve dishes, it is easy to do.

    Du Qi, this kid, has a genius.

    Li Yuan changed the subject and continued: "I heard that Jiancheng competed with your Prince Qin's mansion for farming before. In the East Palace today, capable people and strangers are all thinking about ways to improve farming, while you have been here every day during this time.  Go up and visit and learn about the people's farming, is there such a thing?"

    Li Shimin's heart moved, he nodded and said: "It is true that this is true. Before this, I mainly led troops to fight. When it comes to the resourcefulness and strategy of using soldiers, I am confident. But I don't know much about farming, so I can only go to the farm.  Visit the local area to learn about the people's farming. Now, it's not the last time for the betting contest, so the ministers are still visiting the local area."

    Li Yuan comforted and said: "It's okay, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, after all, there are many advisers for the crown prince in the East Palace."

    After a pause, Li Yuan said again: "But you don't have to care about it, it's just a trivial matter. Even if you lose, with your father around, you will be fine."

    "Thank you, father!"

    Li Shimin replied respectfully.

    He sneered in his heart.

    He is going to win this bet, but Li Yuan thinks he will lose, and there is nothing wrong with that.

    Li Yuan talked with Li Shimin for a while, and Li Shimin took the initiative to leave.  After Li Shimin left the Ganlu Hall, he turned his head and looked at the Ganlu Hall shrouded in a dim light, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

    Immediately, he turned his head and strode away.

    Li Shimin, who left at this moment, had a straight back, but a tough look on his face.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
