Chapter 25: Credit
After drinking all the soup, Li Shimin looked up and looked at Chen Zhengtai who was lying on him.
"Teacher..."
"Well..." Li Shimin only made strange sounds from his nose.
"Your Majesty thinks this soup..."
"Oh..." Li Shimin remained calm: "Yes, the recipe presented by the Qing family is excellent. I didn't expect that you have such talent, which is very good, very good."
I said a few good things in a row, looking very approving.
Chen Zhengtai was a little confused, this is it?
He coughed: "Your Majesty...that...that...will you still be punished?"
Li Shimin had no expression on his face and said calmly: "If you are young, if you have any mistakes, I have been exploring myself since then. As the saying goes, if you have any, you will correct me, and if you don't, you will encourage me. I am the emperor. How could I be a slander with you, a child who is a child who is a child, what to do to cure your sins?"
Very sound!
Chen Zhengtai was so dizzy that his county man... seemed to have been saved.
However... Chen Zhengtai admired his mentor a little. This soup tastes good. His mentor did not deliberately turn black and white because of his anger.
In addition... he also admired his mentor's point of view, even if he was slapped in the face on the spot, Li Shimin seemed to be slapped in the face, as if nothing had happened.
Regarding the second point, Chen Zhengtai felt that he should learn more, and the cheeky art was really shocking.
Chen Zhengtai naturally did not dare to continue pursuing the matter, so he hurriedly said: "Before the student had made a contribution, the teacher ordered the student to be the male title of the county. The student was so grateful that even if he died, it would be difficult to repay his teacher's words and deeds and love."
Li Shimin looked calm and licked his lips. There was still a smell of meat in his mouth. To be honest, the taste of this soup is so fucking exciting.
This kid is really versatile and knows everything.
It would be nice to stay with him like this. Well, Li Shimin nodded in his heart. Although he admired Chen Zhengtai very much at this time, he still looked calm on his face.
He nodded: "You are grateful and rewarded, and it is not in vain that I will be promoted in an extraordinary way."
Chen Zhengtai was about to report the Baiyan incident.
But... the next moment... the effort put into Li Shimin's words suddenly... two blood stains suddenly flowed out of Li Shimin's nose.
When the eunuch saw it, he showed panic and hurriedly took a scarf and came forward.
Li Shimin wiped his nose with his hand and spread his hands open, with blood stains on his hands.
A nosebleed.
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but be surprised. He was struck by lightning. What, is it because there is something wrong with my recipe? This soup is poisonous. No, I have encountered such an unlucky thing.
But something strange... Li Shimin seemed to be accustomed to it. He took the veil and wiped the blood, then raised his head until the nosebleed was exhausted, and then let out a breath of breath, showing an understatement: "You don't have to panic, this is my old disease. It will attack every now and then, and it has nothing to do with your soup."
Chen Zhengtai breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help feeling strange. He had nosebleeds every now and then? This... is a bit abnormal.
Li Shimin wiped the blood, his face showed a little depressed look, and sighed: "Hey... I could ride a fierce horse and drive an iron bow a few years ago, but now, in just a few years, my body is not as good as before."
At this time, Li Shimin was only 31 or 2 years old. In his prime, he expressed such feelings. Chen Zhengtai felt even more strange, so he couldn't help but say with concern: "Can the teacher ask the doctor for treatment?"
Seeing Chen Zhengtai's care-looking look, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart. Although he didn't beat this boy today, he felt a little regretful, but the boy's concern for me was revealed. He said indifferently: "I have asked the imperial doctor to diagnose it again and again, but the imperial doctors all said that I have no disease. Maybe... I am old and I will inevitably be worse than before."
He waved his hand: "It's not too early, and I'm too tired, so you can leave."
He looked tired, and I was missing these four words, which didn't seem like excuses.
Chen Zhengtai had to salute: "The student will leave, the teacher will take care of his health and must eat on time..."
"Go, go." Li Shimin waved impatiently.
Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to turn around in a bad mood.
When he was about to reach the palace gate, Li Shimin behind him called out, "Let's wait."
Chen Zhengtai stopped and turned around.
Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai, and he said tiredly: "The title I promised will be fulfilled. I am going to beat you now and teach you that young people should not be arrogant. Don't think that some cleverness and talent are a little bit smarter and proud of themselves... You need to remember that gentlemen should be careful in their words and actions and never get tired of learning. Satisfied means this is a taboo for students."
These words... look a bit like a professor and disciple.
Chen Zhengtai bowed seriously and said, "Students should follow their teachers' teachings."
Seeing that Chen Zhengtai had left, the little eunuch on the side wanted to support Li Shimin to get up, and said, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, so it's time to take a break."
Li Shimin nodded with a tired face, suddenly his eyes turned and thought of something: "Get two more bowls of soup, I will sleep after I have eaten the soup."
…………
Chen Zhengtai was thinking on the way back, why did his mentor get bleeding from time to time and he looked weak in energy?
This is General Tiance, who was once famous, experienced many battles, and even personally rushed to the enemy formation. How could such a person from the army be so weak in his prime?
But the imperial doctors clearly did not diagnose other diseases.
Could it be...excessive indulgence?
Chen Zhengtai was happy as he thought about it.
When we got home, it was too late, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the moon was bright in the sky. The full moon, like a silver plate, took away all the light of the stars.
The yards in Chang'an City are approaching the time of curfew.
When Chen Zhengtai hurried back to the Chen family, he found that the door was brightly lit.
The storm of people were visiting the long street or near the middle gate. When they saw Chen Zhengtai's carriage stop, Chen Zhengtai came out of his carriage and landed on the ground. A group of old and young men made a long breathing sound.
The person in charge is Chen Zhengtai's father Chen Jiye.
Chen Jiye looked nervous: "Son, I heard that Your Majesty summoned you, but I am really worried that I will die of being a father. Dad has only one son like you. Seeing that you haven't returned for so long, I am afraid that there will be a lot of danger. If you don't come back, Father will take people to the palace to ask for people."
Chen Zhengtai looked at the faces of the Chen family under the night sky in amazement, all with anxiety on his face.
They had an instinctive fear of the palace.
Everyone thought that Chen Zhengtai was summoned to the palace, but they could not say that they caused a huge disaster.
Chen Zhengtai coughed and said to Chen Jiye: "Don't worry, sir, it's okay, it's getting late, what are you gathering here to do?"
The third uncle stood behind Chen's father, squinted his eyes and frowned: "Yes, yes, don't gather here. Then Li Erlang, no, that Emperor, I don't know how many eyes and ears there are. Everyone should be careful in their words and actions."
This is the old conspirator.
Chen Zhengtai felt that the third uncle had the potential to be a spy.
Chen Jiye was still in fear and murmured: "Oh, oh, when will this worrying day end..."
What else did Chen Jiye want to say? He was afraid that Zhengtai would be afraid of these words. It would be fine, so as not to say it, so as not to worry about his son's anxiety.
He had a lot of things to say to Chen Zhengtai, for example, his official duties, now the Salt and Iron Envoy Office has basically no inputs, and he doesn't know when the White Salt tax will be paid.
I also wanted to ask Chen Zhengtai what his majesty said when he entered the palace.
It can be seen that Chen Zhengtai looked tired on his face, and he couldn't bear to ask more questions. So he greeted everyone and said, "It's gone, it's gone."
