Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"The world is peaceful now, and I can't even eat a bite of meat, even the cheapest cheap meat."

.......

At the beginning, Cheng Yaojin's sincere words one after another, coupled with his lack of face, even Li Shimin couldn't stand it.

You must know that Li Shimin is a typical person who prefers softness to toughness. Under An Xuangong's suggestion, Cheng Yaojin naturally mastered it.

Knowing how to do this matter, that's why the scene of Li Shimin gnashing his teeth happened at this time.

Cheng Yaojin left the palace with a happy smile, but at the same time, this incident was also spreading. Although it did not spread to the whole Chang'an, it still attracted a lot of attention.

In particular, many ministers are considering whether to give it a try, but thinking of being as shameless as Cheng Yaojin, they seem to be unable to do it.

"Should I try it too?"

These people are ashamed to put it down, but Yuchi Gong is different, he can't help but reveal a trace of thought and muttered.

You must know that Cheng Yaojin's move caused a chain reaction. Except for the elite soldier and Li Shimin's left and right guards, the other soldiers were basically the same.

It's better now, Li Shimin's promise has broken such a balance, but what Cheng Yaojin said is really reasonable.

Of course, the most important reason is that Li Shimin has enough confidence. If there is no money, then it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Sure enough, before Li Shimin gritted his teeth at Cheng Yaojin, many generals who received the news had already come to the court together.

"Your Majesty, don't the soldiers under my command belong to Datang?"

"Why did Fatty Cheng increase the food expenses, but I didn't."

"As a general, if we can't fight for the interests of the soldiers, what qualifications do we have to return to the barracks?"

.......

Although not as shameless as Cheng Yaojin, these people represented half of the Tang army, and even Li Shimin couldn't ignore it.

And the rest of the troops would surely be moved upon hearing the news. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little headache after thinking of this, because he was a little ill-considered and a little rash before.

"Let me think about this matter carefully!"

You must know that if the rate of one guard is increased, then Li Shimin doesn't think it will be a problem, after all, it will only cost an extra [-] to [-] guan.

At the beginning, Cheng Yaojin's words really moved him. These soldiers were all veterans who fought with him all the way, and they couldn't even eat a bite of meat.

At most, he just drank broth, but this was Li Shimin's punch in the heart. You must know that Li Shimin also started from horseback, so he naturally felt the same.

After Li Shimin spoke out, the general representing the various guards retreated, but this incident did not mean that it was over like this.

We also need to see how His Majesty will deal with it. If they can't get a bowl of water, then they will fight for it even if they lose face.

After many generals left, Li Shimin's complexion was a little ugly. I didn't expect that this incident would affect the whole body.

If there is regret medicine that can be taken, then Li Shimin said that he could not agree to Cheng Yaojin's request at the beginning, but it was too late.

"Your Majesty, this matter has been investigated."

At some point, Li Junxian appeared next to Li Shimin with a strange expression on his face.

You must know that Cheng Yaojin's actions have given Li Shimin a lot of doubts. After all, the issue of soldiers' food has not been raised earlier, why is it this time.

Because time has passed not long ago, driven by profit, Cuju field has become popular all over the world.

Naturally, many people joined it, and the custom of raising Cuju teams by the rich and powerful in Chang'an was also imitated by wealthy businessmen and gentry in Chang'an.

We must know that many people with Cuju talents have come to the fore one after another, and it can be said that an additional industry has emerged indirectly.

For ordinary people, there is an extra way out. For example, there is a farm boy with a talent for Cuju in Chang'an, which has caused a lot of people to bombard him.

It even reached the price of ten pennies a month, which can be said to be a sky-high price for ordinary people.

In the eyes of those rich and powerful, ten pennies is nothing. On the contrary, if they can save some face for themselves, it is worth it.

Especially now that cuju competitions have become popular among the rich and powerful, and this was caused by Li Shimin and Li Yuan.

However, it also promoted the development of Cuju, and during this period of time, Li Shimin also received the benefits of Cuju, with a full ten thousand.

Although this is because of the fee for joining for the first time, it is still shocking enough. As for those who do not pay, they are afraid that they will lose their minds and dare to break ground on Li Shimin's head and become enemies with most of the powerful people in Chang'an.

Basically, those people naturally ended badly. With these lessons learned, the promotion of Cuju went smoothly.

However, before Li Shimin's money was warmed up, Cheng Yaojin came to the door, which naturally made Li Shimin quite alert, so he ordered Baiqi to investigate.

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin said with a gloomy expression, obviously worried about how to deal with these generals.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Guogong did have some abnormalities before entering the palace."

Li Junxian hesitated for a while and said aloud, in fact, he was in favor of increasing the food expenses of the soldiers.

However, he also knows that there are still too many places where Datang needs to use money, and it will definitely be impossible if it comes from the treasury.

Then it is most likely to come out of His Majesty's pocket, but he can only hide these words in his heart.

After speaking, Li Junxian also told about Cheng Yaojin's going to Anxuangong's mansion because of the locusts.

However, after hearing about Duke Anxuan's mansion, Li Shimin's complexion turned dark, and he finally knew who was causing him trouble.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin felt an unknown anger again, he said how did Cheng Yaojin know that he was rich, it turned out that this old guy revealed it.

After Li Junxian finished speaking, he cautiously stood on the other side, not daring to look directly at this majesty whose complexion was cloudy and uncertain.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally calmed down, and then the voice sounded.

"Go to Shu Mansion!"

Chapter 300 The Peace Broken

Shufu

According to the usual times, when Shu An's time came and he was leisurely, he would be a salted fish in the words of later generations.

Of course, it is not appropriate to describe his age as a salted fish, but health preservation is more suitable.

Although there are many examples of delayed retirement in later generations, in fact, many people have already retired at the age of five or sixty.

And now Shu An is in this state, as for the academy is an exception, Shu An plans to let go of the academy after this class of disciples finish teaching.

After all, there are quite a few peasant disciples this year, and those who are outstanding can go to the scientific examination.

As for those with average grades, they will stay in the academy for a year or two to settle down.

These peasant children started too late, even if Shu An suggested to Li Shimin the reform of the imperial examination system, it may not be possible for these disciples to take advantage of it.

It is for this reason that it is better to settle for two or three years. After all, these people are not very old.

There is only one Xue Rengui, and it is enough to be yourself, and he doesn't ask too much from these children.

Without exception, Princess Pingyang, who returned to Chang'an, also appeared in Shu Mansion on time.

The two played a game of chess. Chess originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Chess had already become popular in this era. Although it did not have the influence of Go, it was not bad.

Of course, Shu'an knows a little bit about the two kinds of chess. After all, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as the standard equipment of this era, naturally have a little bit of experience, but today's game is chess.

However, this game of chess was not over, because Li Shimin seemed to be rushing over, but Shu An and Pingyang couldn't help being stunned.

As for Li Shimin, he was also stunned when he saw his own sister's face, and the tone that he wanted to question originally shrank back all of a sudden.

Of course, he gritted his teeth towards Shu An in his heart, and he naturally knew about his own sister.

Although Pingyang came to visit his teacher every day, it seemed that there were not many problems.

After all, the master and apprentice haven't seen each other for many years, so it's understandable.

But in Li Shimin's eyes, it's different. It's a pity that Guanyin's maidservant has not talked about it in detail recently because of her belly.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, but fortunately Shu An was the first to react.

"Shimin, sit down!"

"Laifu, go get some more iced drinks."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said, he was also not very polite to this emperor in private, but treated him like an ordinary person.

As for this hot day, although Shu An is old, he still drinks some iced drinks occasionally, but the frequency is not much.

Of course, for Li Shimin and Pingyang, who are only in their 20s, iced drinks are the most suitable.

Not to mention this era, Lai Fu left quickly after hearing the words of the master, as if he was afraid of being slow.

Just because my master has no respect for this majesty, it doesn't mean that he is the same.

He is just a little butler, and he wants to live for two more years.

So Laifu is very self-aware, while Li Shimin on the other side is not polite at all.

As if Shu Mansion was his own home, he directly pulled an armchair and sat down.

On the other hand, Ping Yang frowned slightly, but there was no change in Shu An's complexion. This is the real Li Shimin.

Now it's just a superficial city mansion. It seems that it is much more mature than before, but it is still a little immature in front of Shu An.

After all, in terms of years of experience, Li Shimin is destined to be inferior to Shu An.

It was for this reason that Shu An was no stranger to Li Shimin like this, and of course he also had some understanding on his complexion.

The reason why Li Shimin came here in a fit of anger must be because of what happened to Cheng Yaojin before.

After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help showing a playful smile on his face.

After Li Shimin sat down, he still didn't say a word, his eyes were on the chess game in front of him.

At present, there is a trace of defeat on the red square chess that belongs to his sister's side.

It's just that the other black chess player doesn't seem to care about the situation, like boiling a frog in warm water.

Of course, Li Shimin also saw more, that is, the chess strength of this Yafu has reached a terrifying level.

The layout seems to be arbitrary, but Li Shimin has seen the hidden murderous intentions behind these layouts.

Although my younger sister has read a lot of military books in Liaodong and has several years of combat experience, she still loses in chess.

"Shimin must have come here to feed the soldiers."

A smile appeared on Shu An's face and he said, while speaking, he also randomly moved the pawns on the chessboard.

In fact, he had received news not long ago that many generals had entered the palace.

As for what it was for, Shu An naturally knew it well, and it wasn't because of the two words of injustice.

Of course, this is also the reason for Li Shimin's miscalculation. He didn't expect that the casual agreement to Cheng Yaojin would lead to such consequences now.

"I don't know what opinion Yafu has."

At this time, Li Shimin felt a little aggrieved and said, if his sister was not here, he would have to question this old guy.

If it weren't for your role in it, then why would I be troubled by this matter.

Seeing the depressed expression on Li Shimin's face, Shu An's smile grew stronger.

He naturally didn't think that Li Shimin couldn't find him, and Baiqi's control in Chang'an was still very strong.

Of course, even if he knew, what could Li Shimin do, so Shu An was naturally confident.

Li Xiuning also noticed the expressions on the faces of her second elder brother and teacher.

There seemed to be some things about these two people that she didn't know, but what about the soldiers' food, Li Xiuning had a lot of doubts on his face for a while.

"I don't know what the people of the world think of the soldiers?"

The smile on Shu An's face restrained his voice a lot, and there was a hint of seriousness in his words.

Li Shimin was stunned, as if Yafu hadn't talked to him like this for a long time.

But even if Li Shimin knew, every time Yafu's words gave him a lot of insights.

So facing this question, Li Shimin began to think carefully.

For a while, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence. Li Xiuning was originally thinking about the situation on the chessboard, but her thoughts also stopped.

Faced with this question, she also thought about it, because she knew that this teacher would not ask this question for no reason.
