There is meat stewed in the pot, as well as radish and fried tofu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Copper hot pot, large slices of pork belly, tender radish cut into large pieces, oily crispy and fluffy fried tofu. There are also several dishes next to the pot, including green spinach and lettuce.

Wei Zheng eats the meat very happily, the pork belly fat that is more than an inch thick and half a palm wide, is crispy and rotten, and it looks extremely greasy, but Wei Zheng has a piece of chopsticks, and he doesn't put it in the bowl, he doesn't need to dip it in a seasoning, or cold it, and don't separate it, just take a big slice of it, and eat it with oil in his mouth.

"This meat is delicious enough, and it tastes better than the thin slices of mutton."

The meat was very hot, and Wei Zheng's mouth trembled when he ate it, but he enjoyed it very much.

Li Chao also likes to eat meat, but not as fierce as Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng looks very thin, but he eats meat very well. Li Chao can't, he feels greasy when he eats two slices of such meat, and he prefers radish and fried tofu in the pot.

The radish has been boiled in the pot for a long time, although it is large, it is also rotten, it is simply melt-in-the-mouth, because it is a copper pot, after this radish has been boiled for a long time, the white radish has become a little black, as if dyed with a layer of color, but it tastes very good.

Not only the freshness of the radish, but also the aroma of the meat, and a unique taste of copper hot pot.

"Come, drink."

Li Chao picked up the wine jug and poured Wei Zheng a glass.

The two of them drank rice wine, high-quality rice wine, there will be no sake lees worms in the wine, and there is no need to filter, it is very clear. The wine was heated on a small stove and was warm but not hot.

At the end of such a snowy month, the two of them crossed their legs on the kang, eating hot pot and drinking warm rice wine, it was indeed very pleasant.

After eating several pieces of meat in a row, Wei Zheng took a sip of wine.

"If you want to drink good wine, you can only come to Li's house to drink it forever." Wei Zheng, an old drunkard, immediately felt the difference in this wine.

"Gong Wei's self-brewing is also very famous, and many people can't get it."

"I brewed it casually, I didn't brew much, and in fact, it's just a mouthful, it's my wife who really does it, the Wei family wine, in fact, is brewed by my wife."

Wei Zheng put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Chao.

"Duke Wei has a father, so he will say it directly."

"Well, then I'll say it bluntly, what is Wen Yuan still hesitating about, Your Majesty gave you a book order, but I refused to accept it?"

"Shang Shuling, only His Majesty has held this position in this dynasty. In the previous dynasty, Yang Su served as Shangshu Ling, but Yang Su's results were not good. Yang Guang rewarded Yang Su for helping him become the emperor with the position of Shangshuling, but after Yang Su became Shangshuling, he was suspicious, Yang Su was sick, and Yang Guang hoped that he would die of illness as soon as possible, but Yang Su finally did not dare to take the medicine and died. ”

"Of course, I also know about the affairs of the previous dynasty, you are a major in Sui History, and I am also an editor. But the previous dynasty is different from the current dynasty, His Majesty did serve as Shang Shuling, but then it was different from now, His Majesty did not hold a lot of positions before when he was not the crown prince and did not rule the world. ”

Wei Zheng knew what Li Chao was worried about, and now many people are rumoring about what kind of high merit is shocking, high merit is difficult to reward, etc., and some people even say that Li Chao has two hearts, and some people say that the emperor is not at ease with Li Chao, and he is suspicious and so on.

In fact, these are just rumors from the outside.

If the emperor wants to give Li Chao the position of general, then there is no need for Li Chao to oppose it, and Wei Zheng will stand up for it as soon as possible. After all, the official position of Admiral Tiance was not available in previous dynasties, and it was specially created by this dynasty to reward the emperor who was still the king of Qin at that time.

But Shang Shuling is different.

The official position of Shang Shuling is the same as that of Shang Shu Province.

It was in the Han Dynasty, but it was only when the Sui Dynasty took the three provinces and six ministries as the core that Shang Shu made this official position extremely weighted. But now it is different from the past, and now the court is headed by the Zhongshu Gate, and the head of the Shangshu has been sidelined. Even if the emperor wants to restore some of the authority of Shangshu Province this time, this Shangshu order is no longer than before.

In the past, a Shangshu left servant shot was the head of a hundred officials, but now a Shangshu Lingdu has to add the title of Pingzhangshi under the Zhongshu Sect before he can enter the Zhongshu Sect to participate in politics and become one of the prime ministers. He can only rank third among the prime ministers.

"Your Majesty still trusts you, and you don't listen to rumors outside, suspicion or something is impossible."

Li Chao smiled and sipped rice wine in a small sip.

It's still a bit early to say that suspicion is too early, but the emperor certainly can't trust him completely and unconditionally all the time. In general, the relationship between him and Li Shimin's monarchs and ministers is still in the stage of trust, after all, Li Shimin has only been emperor for two years.

At this time, although Li Shimin also gained the trust of old Wude ministers such as Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, and also began to promote and reuse new people, but in the court, the most important force, Li Shimin's largest support group, is still from his Qin Wangfu, his Tiance General's Mansion, from Li Chao's eldest grandson, Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, these old ministers of the hidden palace, Conglong Yuanxun.

"Actually, I feel quite tired, now that His Majesty has given me a fief, I really want to run the territory. The imperial court is the center of the whirlpool, and staying for a long time is always exhausting. ”

Li Chao really believes that Li Shimin will not have any suspicions about him now, but power will definitely be different after a long time.

Can Li Shimin rest assured that he Li Chao has always held power?

Accompany the king like a tiger, work for the emperor, it is better to go home and start his own business, although the territory of the business is actually a branch of the emperor's family, but he can have one-third of the equity of the branch, and go, can be the master.

Compared to being in the center of the imperial court, freedom is much easier.

In the past two years, Li Chao felt very tired.

The heart is more tired.

He doesn't want to be busy with cases all day long, and he doesn't want to run around every day, and he doesn't even have less time with his wife, concubines, and children.

He traveled from modern times to Datang, although he did not take the initiative to cross over, but he never thought of being the king and hegemon. It's not a troubled time now, so why bother so hard.

The troubled times are over, isn't it good to be a witness to the rise of the prosperous times?

It's actually good to enjoy life more.

To say that Li Chao also wants to do something, such as promoting the division of seals and promoting the development of industry and commerce, in fact, these are not only factors for the family, but also want to make Datang more prosperous and powerful.

is still the same sentence, it is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world.

Li Chao has also fought many battles and has seen the dangers of war with his own eyes.

"You're an anomaly."

Wei Zheng has no scruples about talking to Li Chao, although Li Chao is much higher than him in terms of official position and title, but the two have a private relationship, but they are forgetful friends.

"The territory on the frontier is really so attractive to you? Men and sons, shouldn't they seize the opportunity when they have the opportunity to live in the temple? Don't you want to work with the emperor to create a good story of Zhenguan and prosperity? Don't want to go down in history? ”

For many scholars, it is the ultimate ideal to become the prime minister of the imperial court, especially to assist the king, and create a prosperous era.

But Wei Zheng couldn't understand Li Chao, Li Chao had the ability and ability, he could be literate and martial. He is a great man of literature in the eyes of countless readers, an academic master, a master in the art of war, and a famous commander in the use of soldiers.

And he also has a lot of ability to govern the country, not only can write and speak, the key is to understand the economy and politics, Li Chao has been in the center for two years and has led many major events.

Whether it is to eliminate the remnants of the troubled times, or to resist the Turks, to beat Tuyuhun, or even to preside over the tax reform, to implement disaster relief programs, etc., he has done a very good job.

Such a person is still so young, two years younger than the emperor.

But he was only twenty-five years old, and he had only been the prime minister for two years, but he actually wanted to retreat bravely, thinking about going to be a lord and prince over there.

Wei Zheng couldn't figure it out and couldn't understand it.

A broken territory, compared to becoming a famous and virtuous face in history?

"Managing the territory well is not only beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and becoming a frontier barrier for the imperial court, but also for the Bashang Li family, it will also have great long-term benefits. After the management is good, with this territory, the Li family will be able to become a real famous family in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head.

This is another point of disagreement between him and Li Chao.

He is a reader, and when he reads the books of sages, he thinks more about the world, the court, and the country. But Li Chao is obviously such a capable person, but he always thinks about home in his mind.

Wei Zheng felt that scholars should serve the imperial court, assist the king, and create a prosperous era. Li Chao wanted to bury himself in building his own territory and strengthen his family.

"Duke Wei, if there is no small family, where will everyone come from? It is said that people have constant birth and then have perseverance. I am in charge of the Li family's territory, and this territory will not be separated from Datang, but will only be a part of Datang. Even because it is on the frontier, it will always become a barrier for the Tang Dynasty, and the princes of the territory will not deviate from the court because they have their own territory, on the contrary, the relationship between the fiefdom princes and the court is closer, and the relationship between one glory and one loss is the relationship with the country. ”

"Your Majesty will never agree to you leaving the court at this time." Wei Zheng shook his head, no matter what Li Chao said, the emperor would not let Li Chao leave at this time.

Even if the emperor could understand Li Chao's words, he couldn't let him go to the territory just after Li Chao had just triumphed into the court. In that case, others will only misunderstand and think that Li Chao was exiled and deposed by the emperor.

Besides, the imperial court really needs Li Chao very much.

"I'm going to the Imperial History Tower, you will still be a Shangshu order, and I will tell you that Your Majesty will recall Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, these two are still serving as the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, and they will add the title of Pingzhang under the Zhongshu Sect. The three vacant chief and deputy officials of Shangshu Province are all in place, and all of them have entered the Zhongshu Sect and become prime ministers, and His Majesty has great expectations for Shangshu Province. Wei Zheng stayed in Shangshu Province for a while, and he also understood that he was not good at that, but he believed that Li Chao was completely competent.

In fact, the emperor's appointment of Li Chao as Shang Shuling has already been made public, and it has been discussed in the Zhongshu Sect and at the court meeting, and no one objected to this appointment.

The civil and military officials all had a surprisingly unanimous attitude, and felt that Li Chao was the best choice, and he was the only one!

In the new January, I just said that I would work hard, but we broke up. I haven't had time to feel the sweetness of love, but I first tasted the bitterness of broken love. The mood is very congested, and now I am outside, just trying to find a place where no one knows to be quiet. For the time being, I may not be able to change four or five times a day, but I will insist on updating, everyone give me a few days, thank you!
