Li Shimin

Hearing this, Songtsan Gampo's eyes lit up, and he asked again: "So, can this king make peace with the Tang Dynasty?"

"This……"

Shang Nang's face froze, and he slowly cupped his hands at Songtsan Gampo.

"Zanpu can still remember that a few years ago, Zanpu had just succeeded to the throne for two years. I had a small official in Tubo with the same name as the old minister. He went to Chang'an as an envoy. Furious, kill all my Tubo envoys!"

"This king will remember this matter!"

Songtsan Gampo said directly.

"Actually, that little official also reported to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty that he wanted to obtain a Princess of the Tang Dynasty for Zanpu, but he was strongly opposed by the King Jin of the Tang Dynasty!"

Shang Nang said slowly.

"Is that so?"

Songtsan Gampo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Now, the prime minister has signed a kingship agreement with the Great Tang King Jin. If this king asks the Great Tang to marry a princess again, the Great Tang Jin King should Not too objectionable?"

"Report to Zanpu, even the old minister doesn't know!"

Shang Nang saluted.

"In this case, I still need to trouble the Prime Minister to go to Datang again. This time, Lu Dongzan will be the deputy envoy, and I will send my greetings to Datang Tongpin!"

Songtsan preached.

"Yes, Zamp!"

Shang Nang sighed inwardly, but he still saluted slowly.

And in Tuyuhun.

The new Tuyuhun Gandou Khan used to be a hostage in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. After returning to Tuyuhun, he was not recognized by the Tuyuhun generals.

Now, in the Tang Dynasty, not only a group of aristocratic families invaded Tuyuhun, occupying the city of Tuyuhun.

What's more, they Tuyuhun joined forces with Tubo to invade the Tang Dynasty, but they failed. Now Gandou Khan Murong Shun is not recognized by those generals.

Therefore, before those Tuyuhun envoys returned to Tuyuhun, Murong Shun had already been killed by his subordinates.Gandou Khan's son Nuohebo succeeded him, but Nuohebo was still young, and all the Tuyuhun ministers wanted to fight for power, and Tuyuhun was in civil strife.

Therefore, when the envoys from the Tang Dynasty came back, no one paid any attention to it.

In the hearts of those Tuyuhun generals, the biggest threat was Tubo next door.

As for Datang, he was beyond his reach, and he had just experienced a big battle, so he didn't have such a long time to come and attack them.And the family of the Tang Dynasty, this will also be hurrying to carry out the autumn harvest, and will not attack them at all!

They only need to guard against Tubo in the south, and then take control of Tuyuhun!

……

At this time, in Datang, the autumn harvest season is gradually entering!

All mines, cement workshops, construction sites for paving roads and bridges, and cement houses began to stop working. All migrant workers began to return to their hometowns and began to slowly harvest rice.

Whichever piece is ripe first will be harvested first.

This situation continued until after the autumn harvest.

Another big harvest in Lijiazhuang!

All the dealers were full of excitement.

However, Li Xuan was staring at the field of peppers that had begun to turn red gradually.

"Housekeeper, wait until these peppers start to turn red all over, and when they start to stir-fry, they will be ripe.

Let the farmers pick off these peppers, then find a thin rope, string them up one by one, hang them under the eaves, and dry them, and there will be peerless delicacies to eat in winter! "

"Peerless gourmet food?"

Hearing this, Li Chang's eyes widened instantly, and he felt saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

It has been a long time since my great king has said the word of hunger strike food!

"It's not suitable to eat in hot weather now, you can only eat in cold winter!" Li Xuan explained a little.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the villain personally supervises those farmers picking red peppers!"

Although there was still some expectation, Li Xuan had already made it very clear. Therefore, Li Chang just bowed his hands to Li Xuan solemnly, and then turned around, ready to call out to the farmers.

"There is no need for this, the farmers can still be trusted by the king, just make it clear that you can pick peppers once every two days!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This time, Li Chang also calmed down.

He was just surprised to hear about the peerless food, and he was very excited.

He is now halfway through his sixtieth birthday, and his physical strength is declining day by day.

The only hobby is to follow the king and eat delicious food all over the world!

And now, the king actually revealed another peerless delicacy!

For two consecutive days, Li Chang was full of energy and high spirits when he walked.

In Lijiazhuang, a word gradually spread.

The red peppers are picked off and dried in the sun. In the cold winter, the king can use them to make a peerless delicacy!

A group of farmers who have not yet gotten tired of eating sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes, and corn started to glow redly again when they looked at the more than 500 acres of peppers in the farm.

"Sanlang, cooking with these peppers is already delicious enough, can the meals made with those red peppers be even more delicious?"

On the second floor of the main house in the north courtyard, Cui Mi, who had already grown a big belly, was half lying on the sofa and asked curiously.

"Mi Er, these are two different dishes. Dried the red peppers and mashed them, made a secret soup, and cooked thin slices of mutton in it. It is fragrant and spicy when eaten, and there will be a lot of flavor in the stomach. It's burning, just right for eating in winter.

Like, what do you think it would taste like if you dried those red peppers and crushed them up and sprinkled them on kebabs like those condiments? "

As he spoke, Li Xuan couldn't help but subconsciously took a mouthful of saliva.

He has not eaten authentic barbecue for many years!

"Sanlang, stop talking!"

On the side, Cui Mi said hastily.

"The glutton in my belly has been hooked by you..."

"Hey young..."

As he said that, Cui Mi felt his stomach tighten and a sharp pain. After a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

……

Chapter 725 The Birth of the Second Prince of Jin

Seeing this, Zi Yun's expression on the side also changed.

"My lord, this seems to be a sign that my sister is about to give birth!"

"come..."

Li Xuan also thought about this, stood up directly, and shouted down.

In an instant, two female doctors, four healthy women, and two old wives ran out from a house below!

"My lord, the princess is about to give birth!"

Coming up, seeing Cui Mi's condition, the expressions of the two female doctors and the old lady changed, and they said hastily.

Regarding the objects for delivery, many sets have already been prepared in Lijiazhuang, especially in the other courtyard.

And these female doctors, healthy women, and old women have already become the exclusive midwives of Lijiazhuang.

In the hands of each of them, dozens of babies have been successfully delivered in the past two years, and each of them has very rich delivery experience.

Going out alone is enough to deliver those pregnant women.

But now, the concubine of Jin Wang was about to give birth, so Li Xuan arranged these six people into Jin Wang's other courtyard early, and waited for more than ten days.

It took less than half an hour after Cui Mi was carried into the well-prepared delivery room.

With a loud cry of a baby, the second son of Prince Jin was born!

A chubby boy, he weighs seven pounds and nine taels!

This was a great happy event in Li Family Village. Li Chang, with a few personal guards and three boxes of copper coins, stood at the gate of King Jin's courtyard and distributed happy money to everyone in the village.

Not even a group of great Confucians and their disciples were left behind.

"Junior brother was born?"

"Uncle Wang has another son?"

"My Tang Dynasty won another county king?"

"I, the Li Tang clan, are delighted to have a virtuous king again..."

One day later, the entire city of Chang'an knew about the birth of Prince Jin's second son.

The Supreme Emperor, Li Yuan specially prepared a carload of rare treasures, and came to Lijiazhuang to visit the second son Li Xuan.

Even Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Chusi, Li Xiaogong, Li Chongyi, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling...all of them came here with gifts.

Regarding this, Li Xuan just carried his second son to the first floor for a walk, and then carried him back directly.

Afterwards, the meeting began.

Kill pigs and sheep, all kinds of stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried meat, cold dishes, chicken, duck and fish, the whole table is full.

"hiss……"

After taking a bite of the dish, everyone was so hot that they gasped.

Although it is spicy, everyone is full of enjoyment.

"Prince Jin, I, Old Cheng, offer you a toast. Congratulations on having another baby boy!"

Cheng Zhijie directly picked up the liquor and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan raised his glass and took a sip.

At this time, Li Shimin also picked up the wine glass again.

"Xuanba, I also offer you a toast. This year, the weather in our Tang Dynasty is smooth, and it is rare that there are no natural disasters. Our Tang Dynasty has a great harvest, and the people's grain tanks can be full for at least one year.

As for man-made disasters, you will lead your troops to surrender, expand your territory, and add hundreds of cities to our Tang Dynasty.

Goguryeo has been completely ruled by my Tang Dynasty. After that, my Tang Dynasty can receive tens of millions of taxes every year.

As for the two small countries of Baekje and Silla, under the might of my Tang Dynasty, they will surely survive for a year! "

"This kind of great achievement was brought about by you, Xuanba. Today, taking advantage of your boy's birthday, I will definitely give you a respectful toast..."

"Your Majesty is polite!"

Li Xuan also picked up the wine glass, and had a drink with Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie and others, "This matter is not all due to me, if it weren't for your majesty's broad mind and trust, and the hard work of all the soldiers and craftsmen, Even if I am alone, even if I have the power to attack Goguryeo!"

"King Jin is brave, I'll toast King Jin!"

"Hiss... King Jin is really the King of Fortune in the Tang Dynasty. This pepper is really a fetish for eating. It's much better than that redwood and pepper!"

"It's not only for eating, but also for drinking!"

"Really, really, come here, His Royal Highness, the old man is too strong to drink, so I can only offer you a toast!"

The spicier the food, the more refreshing it will be when all the people drink wine.

Soon, three empty bottles were placed on each table.

Everyone is dizzy.

Li Shimin didn't know what to think of, so he asked curiously: "Xuanba, I heard that you can use red pepper to make a peerless delicacy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room subconsciously fell silent, turned their heads in unison, and looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

This rumor had already spread throughout Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, this matter is true!"

Li Xuan licked his lips subconsciously, and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have planted more than 500 mu of peppers in Lijiazhuang."
