Chapter 541: This Cook Dares to Scold the Emperor?
After the eldest grandson was discovered, he also slowly got up from the ground, without the slightest shame or embarrassment on his face.
Although he is wearing a coarse cotton skirt, he is still dignified and atmospheric.
Some nobility can not be disguised by disguise, and it is also not something that can be suppressed by the environment and clothing, such as the current Empress Changsun, she interprets this very well.
Even if you dress plainly, even if you squat in the crowd, no matter your manners or words and deeds, you will feel a sense of extravagance.
The official of Honglu Temple almost cried, his voice trembled incomparably, and he kept saying, "How can this be, how can this be? ”
The eldest grandson held a large porcelain bowl in his left hand, and his right hand elegantly and generously brushed the hair on his forehead, smiling lightly, like a spring breeze.
At this time, the surroundings had already knelt on the ground, and the queen had no choice but to turn white to the emperor, and softly blamed: "Your Majesty still doesn't open your mouth to stop it, will you let everyone kneel all the time?" The people are here to eat, not to worship our husband and wife......"
Li Shimin nodded hurriedly, and said to the people who knelt down and worshipped: "You wait for a quick and flat down, I am traveling in micro-clothes today, I am a diner like you, and you don't need to be so polite." ”
Seeing that the people were still restrained and didn't dare to get up, he couldn't help but sweep over the large bowls resting on the ground, and said warmly: "Get up quickly, in order to kowtow and leave the bowls, if this matter is recorded by the historian, it is not good, I still want to leave a good reputation in the history books!" ”
The emperor put one hand behind his back, and the other hand held a large porcelain bowl, and said with a smile: "The sage has clouds, the world and the earth are the biggest, and the food is the biggest in advance, even if you see the emperor, you should be like this, you don't need to kowtow when eating." ”
He beckoned, and then said, "Come on, come on, everyone, get up, pick up your bowls, break your bread, I will eat and drink with you today, and let's make mutton steamed buns and walk......"
The emperor said it interestingly, and his tone was very calm, and the people present couldn't help but let out a kind chuckle.
The official of Honglu Temple was trembling, and his back was already wet with sweat.
Several envoys from the Western Regions behind him looked at each other, and suddenly someone coughed and said tentatively: "The Tang Emperor said that the meal is the biggest, may I ask which sage in the Central Plains said this?" ”
This envoy came out of the crowd, and said solemnly: "This envoy has studied Han culture intensively, read all the poems and books of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, whether it is Lao Tzu, Confucius or Mencius, it seems that he has never said that the world eats the most......"
The emperor glanced at him and said indifferently: "This is what my eldest son said. ”
The envoy was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "King Zhao of Xifu? What kind of sage is he? ”
Obviously, this envoy knew the power structure of the Central Plains very well, and as soon as the emperor said his eldest son, he immediately blurted out King Zhao of Xifu.
Li Shimin smiled coldly and said: "The emperor protects all the people, the sages educate the world, my eldest son can not only protect the people, but also educate the world, I said that he is a living sage, do you have an opinion on this envoy?" ”
The minister's pupils contracted twice, and he vaguely felt that the tone of the Tang Emperor was a little hard.
Hard with a hard foundation.
If it was nine years after changing Wude, Li Shimin would never talk to the envoy like this, and now that the Tang Dynasty is gradually becoming stronger, he no longer needs to be bullied.
National diplomacy has been like this since ancient times, if you are weak, I will be strong, and now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, the surrounding countries must be respected.
The envoy suddenly bowed, and said solemnly: "Harris, the envoy of Xiatuguhun, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Li Shimin glanced at him and said thoughtfully: "I have heard that there are people in the Western Regions who have political and religious power in one body, and they have a unique name for generations, which seems to be called the Caliph...... Your name is Harris, and there is only one word difference between you and the caliph, and you must be a powerful figure in the country, and it seems that Tuyuhun has sent important ministers this time. ”
"No, no, no!"
Harris hurriedly shook his head and explained: "The Tang Emperor misunderstood, Harris is the dual leader of the Islamic State regime and religion, and it is an inherent and inheritable title, similar to the title of Emperor of the Central Plains. My envoy's name is different, my name is Caliph, which is the name my parents gave me......"
"Really?"
Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said lightly: "The customs of the Western Regions are not like those of the Central Plains, and I actually don't know very well. ”
Harris's pupils shrank again.
……
He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say tentatively: "Listening to the meaning of what the Tang Emperor said, His Royal Highness King Zhao of the Western Mansion seems to be very familiar with the customs of the Western Regions?" ”
He was very careful when he asked this, and his heart was constantly troubled, and he felt very uneasy.
Now that Han Yue holds the army of the Three Guards of the Western Mansion, he can be called invincible in the world, if he is interested in the Western Regions, does it mean that he wants to attack the Western Regions?
It's a pity that Li Shimin is a character, how can he be kept secret by an envoy.
The emperor smiled faintly and said leisurely: "My eldest son is known as a natural genius, and naturally has the ability to know astronomy and geography, and he should have some research on the customs of the Western Regions, but he has never mentioned it to me. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Harris and said meaningfully: "If I hadn't been curious about your name today, I wouldn't have thought of so many ......."
This was said bit by bit, both knocked the other party and made the other party unable to grasp the handle, Harris slightly rolled his throat a few times, he quietly swallowed his saliva, wanted to test but did not dare to test.
At this time, people slowly began to get up from the ground, everyone picked up their own dishes and chopsticks, broke the rough dough cakes they had just bought, and carefully put them into the bowl while controlling the sound.
Li Shimin suddenly laughed and said: "Patronizing and talking to you, the mutton steamed bun should be cold, eat and eat, the world is the biggest eat." ”
Next to her, Empress Changsun came over with a bowl and handed it to the emperor and said, "You can eat the bowl of the concubine first, I just broke two rough flour cakes, and the bubble is crispy and soft, just in the mouth." ”
The emperor shook his head and refused, and said: "The interest in eating mutton steamed buns is to break the cake by yourself, Guanyin, what do you mean by doing it for me, don't want it, I will break it myself." ”
The eldest grandson glanced at him and chuckled: "Don't eat it, it's just what the concubine wants." They didn't really plan to give it to you, and they didn't say anything for a long time. ”
Li Shimin laughed and walked to a table and chair with a bowl.
Previously, everyone didn't know the identity of the emperor and queen, so no one gave up their seats, resulting in the emperor and queen could only squat on the ground to join in the fun, but now that everyone knows the identity of the emperor and queen, naturally there are smart people who give up a row of seats early.
The emperor found a stool and sat down, and suddenly found that there was no one around him, he sighed helplessly, and beckoned to everyone: "Come and sit, it's not interesting to eat alone, especially this mutton steamed bun needs to be so, and the big guys can only be called comfortable when they get together to eat." ”
The eldest grandson smiled and went over to sit with him with a big bowl.
However, the rest of the people did not have the courage to do so, and they still stood still and did not dare to move.
Li Shimin sighed again, suddenly beckoned to the side, and said, "Come here, sit with me, I know you all want this kind of opportunity all the time, I will give you this opportunity today." ”
Everyone present was stunned, and subconsciously followed the direction of the emperor's beckoning.
The people are shallow and don't recognize people, but the people who come here today can stop the people.
For example, there are court officials, big families, powerful ministers and nobles, and wealthy families.
Everyone looked at the place where the emperor was pointing, and it didn't matter, and everyone was stunned, and their faces became extremely exciting.
It turned out that there were many big people among the people squatting and eating not far away.
But when I saw about 20 people squatting in that row, all holding bowls with their heads down, they seemed to feel very embarrassed, so they were embarrassed to look up.
At this time, they were stretched out by Li Shimin to recruit, and if they wanted to lower their heads and hide, they would definitely not work, and suddenly saw a young man standing up with a red face, twisting and squirming to this side and sitting down.
"It turned out to be Prince Cheng Qian......"
Someone in the crowd snorted.
Now Li Chengqian has been named the prince again, and in the eyes of everyone, the prince's identity is naturally noble, almost second only to the emperor and the empress.
Seeing Li Chengqian appear, it suddenly made people's hearts move, and everyone couldn't help but look at the row of people squatting and eating again, and their faces became more and more exciting.
The second to stand up was Li Tai, who was the king of Wei.
The third one to stand up was Concubine Yang, who was the four main concubines.
Fourth, fifth, sixth......
……
Every time someone stood up, there was a soft cry from the crowd.
Finally, after a rough count, I found that there were as many as twenty-two people who were squatting there to eat just now, all of whom were noble members of the royal family.
The highest status is the emperor and queen, and the second highest status is also the concubine prince.
This is only a relative comparison, because the last time also has the title of king. What is a king? There are only two kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty, and the rest are all royal blood.
A prince who is in the royal family or inconspicuous is a great man in the people.
But after seeing this group of royal family get up, they all sat obediently next to the emperor in order with bowls, but unfortunately there were still vacancies in this row of seats, but everyone present still didn't dare to come forward, let alone sit and eat with the emperor.
Li Shimin sighed slightly, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "This is the emperor who is lonely and widowed, there has never been anyone around, I want to have fun with the people, but the people are quietly far away." ”
This is faintly sad, and it seems to be said specifically to some people.
The cook in the mutton steamed bun shop suddenly knocked on the soup pot with a big spoon, and said impatiently: "Who wants to sit with him, the small shop is free of charge today, so as not to complain all day long, and the ears of the listeners will be irritable......
These words suddenly followed the emperor, giving people a sense of abruptness.
Dare to speak ill of the emperor, and speak in front of the emperor, this shopkeeper doesn't know if he has a bad temper or is stupid by nature, isn't he afraid of cutting off his head and killing his head?
But Li Shimin was not angry, and he was still slapping the table there and laughing, and the other thing was that Empress Changsun glanced at the cook, but quickly took her eyes back.
Faintly, a sigh seemed to be issued.
……
…… The second update arrives, and today it is updated in 7000 words. By the way, let's guess who this cook is, his face is broken, many people don't know him, everything that can be guessed is a big dick, of course, the brain hole is bigger.
