Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Li Yuanchang's cognition is very simple, all things in the world should be the same as the army, everyone should perform their duties, and it is enough to do their own things well.

If someone affects other people, or even the operation of the entire army, no matter how much credit he has, it is absolutely intolerable.

if not.

There will be big trouble in the future!
The imperial court and the world should also be like this. Sheng Wang is always the king, so he should be under the prince Li Chengqian. The emperor's doing this is tantamount to putting the two brothers in the team.

not to mention.

What is the use of such a prince who travels everywhere in the mountains and rivers in the future?
"Don't worry, if he dares to bully you in the future, uncle will definitely stand by your side. After all, the emperor is my elder brother, no matter what he says, he will give me some face!"

"You just need to remember one thing. Uncle will always stand behind you. That guy who only knows how to travel around is not enough to accomplish great things!" Li Yuanchang patted Li Chengqian on the back as he spoke.

When he said these words, he completely forgot that he was also a dandy, who only knew about fighting, killing, eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

The purpose of Li Chengqian's coming here was to gain Li Yuanchang's support. Hearing what he said, he naturally felt much better.

With the military power in his uncle's hands, coupled with the cooperation of the major families and the support of veteran officials in the court, he can be regarded as having the strength to contend with Li Jian.

As Li Yuanchang said just now, if the two really stand on opposite sides in the future, even if the emperor fully supports Li Jian, he doesn't need to worry too much.

At worst, let the past repeat itself...

……

South of Luoyang.

A large number of pork shops have been opened, and the white pork is hanging, which looks very tempting. After all, these are fresh pork!

When the pork shop was opened, a large number of people surrounded it, and many of them had never seen such a large amount of meat.

Looking at the extremely fresh and brightly colored pork, many people couldn't help their eyes widen. Don't look at them saying that they want to boycott pork, it's because they haven't seen such a scene with their own eyes.

"These meats look really fresh, and they must taste delicious. The imperial court opened a pork shop on such a large scale. Is it because they are going to sell meat?"

"I've never seen such pork in my life. You can see that the meat is bright in color. It may still be edible if it is handled properly. It may not be as serious as the rumors!"

"It would be great if I could take a few pieces home with me, well, I haven't eaten meat for almost half a year!"

The gathered people pointed at the pork and started talking to each other in low voices.

Many people gathered here don't have any meat in their stomachs. Many things are like this. It's one thing to make troubles in normal times, but it's another thing to actually encounter situations.

"Everyone, don't think too much about these meats. They just look good. The pork is not only stinky, but also tastes like chewing wax. It's impossible to swallow!"

"The imperial court purposely brought out these meats just to attract our attention, just trying to fish in troubled waters!" At this time, many people spread the news among the crowd that pork was hard to swallow.

People who have been completely attracted by the scene in front of them, and have forgotten the characteristics of pork, now remember all of them at once, and can only swallow back the saliva that just flowed out.

Yes!

What's the use of looking pretty?

If you can't eat it, it doesn't matter how much you have. If something goes wrong, it will be a real loss.

after all.

According to the intention of the imperial court, things like pork should be with them every day. This must not be a joke, and if you don't pay attention, you may spend your whole life.

Those scholars who were originally stuck in the government office all gathered here when they heard the news.

They found that the emperor not only said that, but now he refuted everyone with practical actions.

"It seems that His Majesty is determined to do the right thing with the people. I thought he was just talking casually, but in the end he really took action. This is really not taking us seriously!"

"Could the emperor really suffer from hysteria? Everyone in the world knows that pork is impossible to eat, and now he wants everyone to eat it as a daily ration. What is he trying to do?"

"It seems that our worries are right. The emperor is so stubborn on this matter, and the imperial examination is definitely not tricky. If the emperor does not give an explanation this time, then there is no need to take the imperial examination!"

Almost all the humble scholars gathered, yelling at the opened pork shops, venting their dissatisfaction.

If Li Shimin hadn't sent soldiers to guard here in advance, I'm afraid the situation would be out of control now.

And it was precisely because the army was sent to guard here that the scholars were even more angry. For them, this was the best proof that the emperor used tough methods.

The scene became chaotic for a while, hundreds of people gathered together with the angry curses of these scholars, and even the army guarding here was a little scared.

If it really provokes public anger, no one can afford it!
At this moment, the sound of a gong was heard not far away. This sudden sound immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone knew what such a movement represented.

really.

It didn't take long for Luanjia to appear in everyone's eyes. Everyone never expected that the emperor would come in person for such a thing.

Accompanied by the intensive sound of horseshoes, a large number of heavily armed imperial guards began to surround the place to ensure the absolute safety of Luanjia. Afterwards, Li Shimin walked out, facing everyone calmly.

"Meet Your Majesty..."

Without any hesitation, the people all knelt down on the ground.

All the scholars present were no exception. After all, the emperor was here in person, and there must be no less rules. Looking at the people who were all kneeling on the ground, Li Shimin also showed a smile on his face.

He has done so much painstakingly, just to let the people live a good life, even if there is any misunderstanding, it is completely within his tolerance.

Before Li Shimin could react, many scholars took the lead in standing up and refuting the promotion of pork without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to promote pork. This kind of meat is not edible at all. If this kind of policy is enforced, how will the common people live in the future?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, since the policy is for the people, you should listen to the voice of the people, and never act arrogantly. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Scholars continued to stand up and look at Li Shimin without fear...

……

Chapter 136 Speak with facts!

Li Shimin didn't come alone this time. Behind him stood Empress Changsun, Princess Changle, and even a group of generals.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that when the pork was spread, it would definitely cause huge repercussions. Long before, there was a lot of public dissatisfaction, and the reaction of scholars was huge.

of course.

The credits of the major families are indispensable behind this. The reason why he did not take any action from the beginning to the end and let the matter develop is because he wanted to use the power of the family to spread the news as much as possible.

The deeper everyone's misunderstanding is now, when they understand their painstaking efforts, they will get more rewards, and this will save them a lot of trouble.

"Everyone, don't get excited. This pork shop is set up by my own order. There will be no problems, and the price is definitely within the acceptable range!"

"The purpose of setting up these pork shops first is to let everyone have a taste and get used to the existence of pork. When the time is right in the future, every household will raise pigs!"

"It's not a difficult thing. When everyone is able to raise pigs at home, they will have meat every day, not just grains!" Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said loudly.

Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi looked at the scene in front of them, and they felt extremely proud in their hearts. They knew better than anyone else how beneficial this pork was.

Everyone will understand the mystery of this, it's just a matter of time.

"But how do you eat this pork? It is said that this pork has a strong smell and is hard to swallow. It can't even compare to the most unpalatable wild vegetables. How can you eat it every day in the future?"

"Your Majesty, you have to be able to eat it every day, right? Eating this kind of pork every day is equivalent to torture?"

"We really want to eat meat every day, but it's not such a difficult thing to eat. Even if the taste is slightly bad, at least it can be swallowed!"

Before those scholars had time to react, the common people immediately exploded.

The ultimate purpose of their gathering here is to avoid the ending of eating pork every day.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Li Shimin smiled and did not explain.

he knows.

Now everyone's thoughts are deeply ingrained. No matter how they explain or describe the changes in pork, it will have no effect.

This is often the case, people tend to only believe what they think is the truth.

then.

Li Shimin directly asked the person in charge of opening the pork shop to start moving out the tables one by one.

After all the tables are set up, the newly created hot pots are set up on them.

Ever since Li Shimin saw the deliciousness of hot pot, he ordered a large-scale construction so that it can be used at any time.

A hot pot was placed on each table. After adding charcoal fire, the seasonings were put in. It didn't take long for the cooking to be gurgling and the aroma was constantly wafting.

Most of the people standing here haven't eaten meat for a long time, and they haven't even had a decent meal. When they smelled the sudden fragrance, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

What happened in front of him was so weird that instead of explaining the pork problem, the emperor started to set up weird pots.

What on earth is this for?
Do you want to cook meat and eat it in front of everyone?
"Why do I feel that something is wrong? Your Majesty doesn't seem to have heard what we said, but instead wants to lead people to eat and drink!"

"Your Majesty shouldn't be so over the top, right? It's one thing not to listen to suggestions, but another thing to ignore everyone at all!"

"From my point of view, these pots should be used to cook pork. It should be that His Majesty the Emperor wants everyone to taste it for himself, and use facts to prove that his idea is correct."

"This matter may be reversed. Your Majesty is definitely prepared. Let's wait and see what happens, and don't express your opinions lightly!"

Many scholars began to have new ideas when they saw the tables laid out one by one and the boiling hot pot being boiled.

After all, they are different from ordinary people. When facing the same problem, they will think about the meaning behind it.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Shimin personally took the empress's people and sat at the front table.

This table is much higher than others, allowing most people to clearly see every move here.

obviously.

Regarding this matter, Li Shimin should have arranged it in advance. Whether it was Empress Changsun or Li Lizhi, including the generals, they all followed and sat down naturally, and no one expressed doubts.

Subsequently.

Li Shimin said loudly to the person in charge of serving at the side: "Bring over all the prepared pork, starting with the meat hanging there!"

This is his shrewdness!
If the meat they are eating is delivered secretly through special arrangements, or is prepared in advance, it will definitely leave a clue.

A lot of people who say no, will surely say that the meat they eat is different.

therefore.

Li Shimin arranged in advance to hang fresh pork on the opened pork shop first, and then asked people to take it down in person under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The whole process was under the watchful eyes of everyone, and it was impossible to do any tricks. When doing this, Li Shimin had already thought about it, and he would never leave any opportunity to give others a handle!
A lot of fresh pork was cut up, and then placed on the table where Li Shimin and the others were sitting in front of everyone. Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi had experienced the taste of pork a long time ago, and when they saw the meat, their faces were full. It was natural to smile.

Li Lizhi was already a little hungry, and she also knew how to cook pork in a hot pot, so she quickly picked up two pieces of meat, put them in the pot, rinsed them, and then ate them happily.

Anyway, my father told me in advance that I can eat whatever I want today, the more delicious the better.

Li Lizhi and Empress Changsun both started to move, and Cheng Yaojin and the others did not fall behind, and they all started to eat with their hands.

The hot pot already exudes a tempting aroma, and Cheng Yaojin and the others are devouring it voraciously, and their mouths are full of oil, which makes people swallow continuously.

From the time the pork was put on the table, many people began to pay attention to every move of the emperor and empress.

Especially those scholars who joined forces to refute the promotion of pork, they did not miss any details, and because of this, they clearly saw the change in Li Lizhi's expression.

This kind of extremely natural joy, as well as the action of eating meat, is definitely not deliberately able to pretend. This can only explain one problem. Not only is this pork very delicious, but the emperor and others have seen it before...
