As soon as Li Shimin ordered, the eunuch did not hesitate, so he quickly took the recipe and went there quickly.

Li Shimin muttered in his heart, but he didn't know what was cooked in this recipe.

In fact, although he always scolded him, his daily concern for his well-being made Li Shimin gradually become somewhat dependent on this guy who has been begging for his mentors all day long.

Well, it will fulfill his filial piety.

He was convinced that Li Shimin immediately received a memorial from Qizhou. The only way for the Tang Dynasty to conquer the Western Liang was Liangzhou. This time, Li Shimin dispatched a large army to conquer the Western Liang. This Qizhou was the rear granary of the army. The military information brought from here would be sent to the palace at any time with a fast horse.

Li Shimin was well-versed in military tactics and then predicted the outcome of this war based on his own judgment.

He had already been familiar with the memorials from Qizhou, but he couldn't help but want to read them again. At this time, the arrangements of various troops and horses and the arrangements of the Xiliang rebels of the Liang Shidu were already in his mind. These countless arrangements were running rapidly in his mind, and his face became unstable.

What is most worrying now is the movements of the Turks. The Turks will definitely come to help, so this puts the Tang army in a dilemma. If they fight steadily, the war will last for a long time; but if they advance rashly, they may be caught by the Turks who are eyeing them.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself, if I could fight in person, maybe... I wouldn't have such concerns.

A thought even emerged in his mind.

What if Chen Zhengtai said, then Chen Shidao's general took Chen Shidao's head and surrendered?

As soon as this thought came out, he couldn't help but smiled with a joke. It was ridiculous. Xiliang had not yet reached the end of his life, and most of his generals were Chen Shidu's confidants.

And Chen Zhengtai is just a yellow-haired child. What does he know? I actually hope for the life and death of tens of thousands of troops in this illusory possibility...

Just when Li Shimin was thinking about it, suddenly, a pair of delicate jade hands stuck out from behind Li Shimin's head, covering Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Shimin's eyes went dark and he was furious.

Just as Li Shimin was about to swear, a pleasant voice of silver bell rang: "Guess who I am."

As soon as he heard this voice, Li Shimin turned angry and happy, and coughed and said, "I am so bold that I dare to tease me... Let go."

The jade hands were released, and then a little head came over from Li Shimin's back shoulder with a smile.

"I am so depressed when my father saw this memorial, so I am just happy. If my father is not happy, my son has to sue him."

Standing behind Li Shimin, there is a graceful girl, who looks ten years old and has not yet grown up, but she has just seen the sign of the national beauty.

Li Shimin deliberately glared at her, but then he showed a bit of kindness in his eyes.

"Lizhi, you are going to grow up and marry a woman in the future, but you always look so reckless? This is the front hall, what are you doing?"

Li Lizhi is Li Shimin's beloved daughter and the first daughter born to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. The relationship between father and daughter should be different.

"I...I..."

Li Shimin felt that his words seemed to be heavier, so he hurriedly said, "Hey, hey... I don't mean to blame you. Come, sit down and have a meal with me later."

Li Lizhi smiled and obediently knelt on the side of Li Shimin's imperial desk. She poked her head out and asked with her pink mouth, "Father, what should I eat for lunch?"

Li Shimin kept a secret: "I got a recipe, and you will know after eating it later."

When Li Lizhi heard this, she suddenly felt interesting. Her eyebrows slightly raised and her eyes shone: "Recipe? This is interesting. My father also became interested in this cooking. Where did this recipe come from? Is it delicious?"

Li Shimin's face couldn't help but thrust.

I don't know what happened.

Every time he heard about eating, Li Shimin always felt that he had a psychological shadow.

"You will know when this meal comes."

Li Lizhi blinked and even more anticipated the cherry mouth chattered: "Since the father is the recipe he has ordered, it must be a good thing. Oh, I can't wait."

"Okay, be quiet, I'll take a look at the memorial."

"But my father... how could he care about this recipe so much? My father is so wise and powerful. He must have known that the meal is delicious. He personally told the Shangshi Bureau to cook. My father, my son is hungry."

"Ah...oh..." Li Shimin deliberately looked down at the memorial.

"Father, are you hungry?"

Li Shimin's face twitched again, remembering all kinds of greetings like "whether to eat" in Chen Zhengtai's letters.

And the revolving lanterns in my mind are all greetings like you, did you eat today, what did you eat, how good did you eat, etc.

"Father, if it tastes delicious, let the Shangshi Bureau cook more and send it to the mother." Li Li held her cheeks, her cuffs fell off, and her smooth forearms showed. Seeing that Li Shimin ignored her, she deliberately shook her forearms, and even the imperial desk shook slightly.

Seeing the memorial on the imperial desk trembled, Li Shimin had to look up and sighed to the sky, but he couldn't make it happen. He had to patiently say, "Okay, okay, don't be like this...I'll talk to you..."

Li Lizhi just showed her complacent appearance as if she had succeeded in the conspiracy.

After finally rushing to the Shangshi Bureau, Li Shimin was like an amnesty. However, the eunuch from the Shangshi Bureau came in carefully, but hesitated: "Your Majesty... the meal has been cooked, but... just..."

Li Shimin said coldly: "Since it's done, I'll pass it on, why do you need to say more?"

Li Lizhi stretched her pink neck and looked outside the hall.

The eunuch had no choice but to offer cooked food.

It seemed that an old eunuch from Shangshi Bureau had also come, but he was not allowed to allow him to enter the hall. He just looked at his expression, which was a bit strange.

Li Shimin was unwilling to move to other places for meals, so he simply regarded this place as a dining hall. The first one was a jar of soup. The soup looked colorless and transparent. It smelled from afar and it turned out to be a sweet meat fragrance.

Li Shimin didn't keep his index finger from getting angry, and became interested. When the eunuch scooped him a porcelain bowl of soup, Li Shimin picked up the porcelain bowl: "But it was cooked according to the recipe?"

"Your Majesty, that's right." The eunuch coughed: "It's just this soup..."

Li Shimin did not hesitate.

To be honest, this soup looks really rare.

On the other hand, Li Lizhi was already interested and ordered someone to scoop soup for herself.

At this time, Li Shimin had already taken the silver spoon and gently put a mouthful of soup into his mouth.

He smiled and waited for the soup to enter the mouth...

"Father, how about it?" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin in surprise.

“…”

Li Shimin's face became stiff.

immediately……

The whole body looks like a stone sculpture.

The taste of the soup seemed to fill his mouth.

puff……

finally……

Li Shimin sprayed out an old soup.

Then... he touched his neck, looking like he was about to vomit.

This... Li Lizhi and the eunuch who was accompanying him were stunned.

Li Shimin's face was so angry that he turned into a pig's liver: "Shangshi Bureau... People come..."

He gritted his teeth and looked murderous.

The old eunuch of Shangshi Bureau who had been waiting outside seemed to have expected this and was not qualified to enter the hall just now. Now that he heard the roar of His Majesty, he came in tremblingly, and said, "I will die."

Li Shimin stood up, his eyes were about to spit out of fire, and he rushed to the crown with anger: "Is this soup cooked according to the recipe?"

"Your Majesty, it's true. I dare not neglect it. I cooked it according to the recipe. After cooking it, I made it. I felt it was not right. I wanted to report it to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty was urging me to try it out. Old slave... Old slave..."

He kowtowed like pounding garlic, and he was really scared.

Li Shimin was stunned... He looked murderous at the old eunuch just now, but then the murderous aura was wiped out.

After all, Li Erlang is reasonable. If it was not the fault of Shangshi Bureau, he would never be punished.

The old eunuch hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I am in charge of the Shangshi Bureau for several years to provide food for Your Majesty and the nobles in the palace. How can I not know the cooking method? In any case, I don't have the principle of not using sauces. But in this recipe, I never mention the sauce. This... this... recipe... is simply ridiculous. Your Majesty thinks this soup is disgusting, and it is also necessary to use sauces to cover up the fishy food and the odor of the seasonings. How can I put it on?"

This old eunuch talked freely, hitting the key points of the recipe.

You should know that the Tang people like to eat sauces the most. This is not because they like to add various flavors of pickles to dishes and soups, but because the salt in this era is not pure. If only salt is added, it will inevitably have astringent taste.

In people's impression at that time, salt was not only salty, but also bitter. If the sauce was not used to cover up the taste, the food would not be swallowed at all.

Therefore, the cooking of the Tang people is always inseparable from all kinds of sauces. These condiments are very wide and indispensable in cooking.

Li Shimin's face was thrust, and he was convinced.

That Chen Zhengtai... the recipe he gave me didn't even put the sauce, so he even asked me to make soup for me to drink...

Li Shimin suddenly felt that he was very good-looking. He was a little kid who knew nothing about cooking. Why did I fall for him?

But... it's not easy to have an attack for a while. If it spreads, I'm just afraid that I'll become a joke.

So he held his face, and he remembered Li Lizhi and said, "Lizhi...you eat, what kind of food is this..."

Said it out.

But I found no response.

So he looked around.

At this time, there was no figure of Li Lizhi in this hall.

There is no shadow when you come, no trace when you go, like a spirit bird, and there is no shadow long ago.

Li Shimin: “…”

After all, he sighed and was confused, so he thought to himself, if that boy Chen Zhengtai came to ask me if I had "eat" I would definitely not spare him.
