A banquet of 100 tables on the long street rewarded the hard work of the imperial doctors and brought the relationship between the monarchs and ministers closer, and they were satisfied and happy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hahahaha, this way of eating a banquet is really novel." Li Shimin smiled very happily: "I can eat as much as I want, I can eat more if I want to, and I don't need to look at it if I don't want to eat, happy!" …… Well, that's how to eat, teaching people to be unable to keep their mouths shut, so they can't help but hold on. Fortunately, there is also hawthorn water in the middle of the banquet. ”

Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty can eat so happily, and the son-in-law will be satisfied." ”

While speaking, Li Lizhi had already brought a bowl of freshly boiled hawthorn water, put it in front of Li Shimin, and said: "My father really doesn't know how to be jealous, if he really holds it up, and goes back to make a stomach, wouldn't it be to let the queen mother blame Changle for failing to take care of his father!" ”

"Hahahaha, your queen mother doesn't have the blessing I have today!" Li Shimin smiled very happily, then turned to Xia Hongsheng, and said with great satisfaction: "Not bad! This feast is good, and this way of eating is even better! Previously, I read the writings and deeds of the ministers of the court, which were clearly organized and had many merits. But if you ask questions in the court and ask them to answer face to face, most of them seem incoherent and can't speak clearly. I asked Wei Qing about this, and Wei Qing said: Hundreds of things are done, often think about them for a few days, and before you go forward, you can't say one in three points. In addition, if it is not for His Majesty's excuses, how dare he do his best. I have been thinking for a long time, how can I make the courtiers not have to be too restrained in front of me, looking forward and looking backwards, conscientious and not daring to speak. Only the warmer his words are, can the courtiers speak. Now it seems that hehe, virtuous son-in-law, your way of eating is a good way. This kind of banquet method, I may also hold a few times in the palace. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "Indeed, this way of eating, first, the atmosphere is very relaxed, and the form is quite free, father-in-law, you are not sitting high on the throne, but integrated into the ministers, which will naturally make the ministers feel close, so they are more intimate to Your Majesty." Second, there is no fixed seat, so you can freely combine and talk about things together, which is also very convenient. Maybe while enjoying the delicious food and talking about work, the inspiration will come. Third, hehe, in fact, this form is actually much more economical than a banquet for several people. The son-in-law is now in Jingyang County, which is actually this way of eating. Of course, there are far more than that, only a few of them, enough to eat. Three times a day, the county officials all eat in the official office, a few dishes for each meal, everyone chooses what they want to eat, and sits together while eating and discussing the affairs of the county government, which is convenient for work, but also saves expenses, and there is no waste and bad image caused by officials eating and drinking in restaurants. ”

"Okay, that's a good idea!" Li Shimin nodded and said, "Working meal...... Yes, the annual expenditure of this official family in the restaurant is not a small amount. Hehe, tomorrow I'll go see your so-called working meal. ”

It seems that Li Lao Er is planning to come out for a few more days.

Xia Hongsheng's mind was also alive because of this, while Li Shimin was in Jingyang, could he do more?

This kind of opportunity doesn't happen all the time.

After sending Li Shimin to his villa in the academy, Xia Hongsheng walked back slowly, while thinking in his mind how to take advantage of the opportunity of Li Shimin's visit to Jingyang this time to do a few more things.

Xia Hongsheng walked slowly and methodically to the house, and when he reached the door, he saw the figure of the housekeeper walking back and forth outside the door.

When Xia Hongsheng walked in, the housekeeper saw it, and hurriedly ran over, ran to Xia Hongsheng, and said, "Childe, you can count yourself back." The little one said that he would go to the academy to call you, and he was afraid of disturbing you and the emperor! -- Someone came to the house in Chang'an, and they also brought a Tibetan man back, saying that they had found a son-in-law in Chang'an, and they brought him here. ”

"Tibetans?" Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, then remembered a person, and immediately chuckled in his heart.

"Where is this man now, wait for me to see him." Xia Hongsheng said to the housekeeper in a deep voice.

"Back to Gongzi's words, that person is in the hall at the moment, and your own soldiers in the house are watching him." The butler replied, "The little one will take you there." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, quickly entered the house, and when he arrived in the main hall, he saw his own soldiers standing outside the hall, and there were two people in the house, and the person who spoke to the two people was a dark and tall man, although he was dressed as a Han peasant, but Xia Hongsheng still saw at a glance that he was not a Han, but a Tubo.

When Xia Hongsheng saw him, he immediately remembered that a few years ago he held a civil and military conference in Chang'an, and there was a Tibetan man who was quite ruthless in the competition, and then Qi Yong stepped forward and made an appointment to apologize, and then defeated him in the competition. The Tibetan man was also a trustworthy man, and after being defeated by Qi Yong, he went over to kneel and kowtow to the people he had injured one by one. Later, I learned that he was originally a member of the Tibetan army, because his commander killed his family in the village, so he rushed into the camp in a fit of anger and killed the general on his head, but in order to kill the commander of the army again, and then killed the military camp and left Tubo.

Later, Xia Hongsheng got acquainted with him and treated him well.

At that time, it was the third year of Zhenguan, and Tubo was in turmoil, and Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne on the verge of danger, and was focusing on quelling rebellions in various places.

So taking this opportunity, Xia Hongsheng arranged for him to go back to Tibet, promising to help him avenge him and let him kill the commander with his own hands. In return, Basang became Xia Hongsheng's eyeliner in Tibet. However, Xia Hongsheng hopes that this inner line is hidden deep enough, and it is not a big deal, so he will not use it easily.

Now that he is here, it must be that something big has happened in Tibet.

A name suddenly appeared in Xia Hongsheng's mind, making Xia Hongsheng hurriedly take two steps forward and shout: "Basang!" ”

"Master Hou!" When Basang saw Xia Hongsheng appear, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Basang meets the Hou Ye!" ”

Xia Hongsheng saw that he was covered in dust and knew that he must be in a hurry all the way, so he hurriedly said: "It's hard all the way!" Whatever happens, you have a good rest tonight! Come on, go and prepare the bath water, and let the kitchen prepare more good wine and meat! ”

The subordinate led the order to run, and Basang said to Xia Hongsheng: "Thank you, Master Hou!" Basang doesn't have much money, and he hasn't eaten a full meal along the way! ”

"Hard!" Xia Hongsheng said to him: "Now that I am here, it is like being at home, and I don't have to be restrained. ”

Basang shook his head and said, "No. Hou Ye promised to avenge Ba Sang, and Ba Sang repaid Hou Ye. Basang came to Hou Ye in person this time because of a big event! (To be continued.) )
