Chapter 3, Li Shimin's surprise, make-up visit
On this day, Li Shimin could only eat dry staple food, not even a mouthful of hot food. Everyone in the Prince Qin's mansion spit out lotus flowers and greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Li Shimin sat under the tree in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness in the heat of June, followed by everyone who couldn't eat food today.

"Your Highness, the Zheng family is really not a thing. They even supported the prince behind your back. I, Lao Qin, can't swallow this matter."

"That's right, isn't it just a gentry? To kill them, I, Lao Cheng, will be the first to agree."

Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin began to apply eye drops to Li Shimin, while Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji were silent because they knew how much His Royal Highness King Qin despised what the Zheng family did. It just didn't happen.

In the future, King Qin will definitely take precautions against the Zheng family, which has excluded them from the core.

"That's right, what's even more hateful is that they cut off the vegetables, which caused the people of Chang'an to complain, and they must give me vegetables to eat."

When Zhangsun Wuji interrupted, everyone's eyes turned to the vegetables again.

"No, I miss the smell of dead tomatoes all day long"

"Who says no, the vegetables that have only been produced in the past few days can be eaten raw or eaten, and the taste is sweet and sour."

As Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao talked, tears of longing flowed from the corners of their mouths, which were still sticky.

"Why have I never eaten what you said?"

Li Shimin found out why there were so many things he didn't know in the past two days, and what are these tomatoes.

"Aiya~ Your Highness has a noble body, how can you eat such unknown vegetables, so we want to test the poison with ourselves, and recommend it to Your Highness if there is no problem."

"Yes~ yes, that's what happened"

Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin sang and reconciled for fear of slipping the tongue, as if Li Shimin was interested in tomatoes.

Li Shimin looked at the two of them angrily. After they finished testing the poison, the season for selling tomatoes might have passed. It is true that tomatoes are not easy to buy, and the production is small. Zheng Renjing basically does not sell them to outsiders. Get it internally.

At this moment Yuchi Jingde strolled in and reported to him loudly

"Your Highness~ Rentai brought Zheng Ganyi, the Patriarch of the Zheng family, to visit"

As soon as everyone heard it, the treacherous and double-faced head of the Zheng family came, the guy who made them unable to eat food came, and the bully who robbed the family's children of their property came.

All of them were filled with indignation, and they slapped their arms to copy the guy. Li Shimin didn't need to say anything about that posture, they all wanted to beat the old man of the Zheng family to death.

"Let them in"

Li Shimin did not refuse the visit of Patriarch Zheng. Zheng Rentai was from the Zheng family in Xingyang, so there was nothing to say about being loyal to him. After ten years of acquaintance, Zheng Rentai would naturally be treated poorly.

It's just that this kind of interview is a bit contemptuous. The other party is the head of the Zheng family with five surnames in Xingyang. His family members are also intertwined in the court, and they have a lot of power to speak in the local area. Even if they meet Li Yuan, they will not be treated lightly. .

But now Li Shimin took the generals under his command to enjoy the cool air, each of them wore casual clothes and opened their postures in different ways, leisurely and casually. For Patriarch Zheng, this kind of interview was a kind of humiliation, which was also Li Shimin's attitude, and he hated it in his heart.

Not long after, Zheng Ganyi walked in from the threshold, walking with eight-character steps without haste, dressed in decent clothes, full of energy, and smiling. He was not dissatisfied with Qin Wang Li Shimin's reception like this, but when he looked at the people in the Qin Palace, his expression was not the same. A sense of humility, and even a little arrogance.

And the person walking behind the Patriarch was Zheng Rentai. To be honest, he was a little embarrassed. Originally, he was free to come and go in the Qin Palace as him, but now he had to notify him. It is conceivable that some people in the Qin Palace were also dissatisfied with him.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Qin"

Li Shimin looked at the arrogance of Zheng Qian and wanted to see the purpose of this trip from his face. At this time, the Qin Palace was suppressed everywhere in the court, and the Qin Palace was not allowed to participate in various battles for nearly a year. Seeing that his general situation is over, is he ready to officially break up?

"Patriarch Zheng paid a personal visit, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin's tone was not kind, and he was even more dissatisfied with the actions of the Zheng family. Now that the Qin Palace lacks the support of the Zheng family, it is really a blow to him, and the words in the court will weaken a lot in the future.

"Two days ago, the junior of the Zheng family didn't know the general trend of the world, and did something that made you and my family feel bad. I have escorted him back to Xingyang to be punished."

"By the way, send some small profits to show my Zheng family's heart."

Everyone present was shocked, no!Everyone knows that Zheng Qianyi and Zheng Renjing are the ones hosting the Crown Prince. If not, how can a junior member of the Zheng family use [-]% of the profits to support the Crown Prince? Does he have the right to do so?
"Hey, Patriarch Zheng is such a big man. First, he flattered everyone, like weeds on the wall, and later occupied his children's fields. Now he has cut off the vegetable supply in Chang'an, making people panic. What kind of drama will he sing this time?"

"That's right, such people who are always on the go, come to show their favor at this time, I'm afraid they are harboring evil intentions."

Zheng Ganyi listened to the black-faced Cheng Yaojin's sarcasm indifferently, and he was the only one who dared to scold the Patriarch of the Zheng family openly.

Li Shimin and the others don't believe in the Patriarch of the Zheng family. If things go on like this, the Patriarch might just slap his sleeves and leave, and go back and cry to his great-grandfather. Maybe the great-grandfather will change his mind and really support the prince with all his strength. Even if the great grandfather supports a young child now, he might be able to squeeze the crown prince and King Qin down. In his heart, Zheng Renjing has this strength.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, Lao Cheng, please don't get angry. This time I came here sincerely. My great-grandfather has a far-sighted view and concluded that the future of the Tang Dynasty must belong to His Royal Highness Qin Wang. That's why the Patriarch asked for an apology."

Grandpa?Zheng Rentai still has his great-grandfather, so this person must be an octogenarian. I didn't expect a Zheng family to have such a discerning person. Li Shimin was also happy to hear that the future Tang Dynasty belonged to him.

It's just that other people can't help but look down upon it. Even if a dying old man has good eyesight, how can he have a say in Zheng's family, and he might go west someday. It is to find someone to take the blame.

Seeing the relentlessness on other people's faces made Zheng Ganyi's expression change. They could be disrespectful to him but not to Zheng Renjing.

"Hmph~ Compared with my little uncle, everyone in Prince Qin's Mansion is like a cloud and mud. If not for my uncle's repeated reminders, I would not hesitate to come to this Prince Qin's Mansion in person."

Zheng Ganyi didn't look angry. In his eyes, there was no one in the world comparable to his uncle Zheng Renjing. If it wasn't for his uncle's insistence on refusing to be the head of the family and insisting on studying farming, the Zheng family would have skyrocketed by now.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, my great-grandpa is really knowledgeable about the past and the present. The general trend of the world is just a casual word in his mouth, but there is no mistake. It's just that he is a little idle by nature and has a bad reputation. That's why he hasn't been known by outsiders."

Zheng Qianyi's flattery is nothing more than Zheng Rentai's flattery, and Zheng Rentai's flattery is a bit too much. Who in the Qin Palace is worse than others, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, who can judge the world's major events, and military generals are emerging in endlessly. At this time, he said The people in Prince Qin's Mansion are not as good as an old man from the Zheng family, who would want to.

"Heh, Rentai, if this is the case, how could your Zheng family do such a thing as seizing your children's property and cutting off the vegetable supply in Chang'an? This will bring a lot of black marks to the Zheng family!"

Du Ruhui was not convinced, this kind of robbery and oppression of children, loyalty, filial piety and shame are all gone, so what kind of characters can come out?
"Ah? What are you talking about? How dare we steal Grandpa's property?"

"The supply of vegetables was cut off because Grandpa cleaned up the moths and cut down all the manpower in the Prince's Mansion at once, resulting in a shortage of supply manpower. The supply can be resumed in the next few days when the manpower is fully recruited."

Li Shimin's head was confused when he heard this, great grandfather's property?who?The octogenarian?But isn't that property owned by Mr. Zheng's family? ,

"Nonsense, the property belongs to Zheng Renjing, the son of the Zheng family. What does it have to do with your great-grandfather?"

"That's right, is it your great-grandfather who occupied the property?"

Facing the accusations from the crowd, Zheng Rentai looked at them with a look of astonishment.

"Zheng Renjing is my great-grandfather!"

Li Shimin was stunned. Zheng Renjing, whom Chang'an called Zheng's young man, was Rentai's great-grandfather, and Zheng Qianyi's little uncle?

Cheng Yaojin opened his jaw slightly, trembling and unable to say a word, Du Ruhui fell into confusion, everyone was digesting this unbelievable fact.

Only Changsun Wuji slapped his thigh again

"I fought with your great-grandfather"
