Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 18
Chang Le was having fun catching, the little girl had so much fun today.Yang Zheng shouted several times before she heard it!

"Yonggui, you see that we caught a lot of loaches today, how about we take them to the palace and give them to the emperor?" Changle originally wanted to eat loach tonight, but he was about to enter the palace again, so he proposed to take the loach to the palace. Take the loach to Chang'an.

"Okay, okay, princess, hurry up and change your clothes. Your majesty will eat me when you go back in this way?" Changle is now covered in mud, and Li Shimin really saw it like this. Yang Zheng probably won't be able to eat it and walk around!
Both Yang Zheng and Chang Le took a quick shower, changed into new clothes, and headed to Chang'an with a bucket of loach and the eunuch who passed the decree!Of course, Yang Zheng still made a basket of fruit!

Along the way, Yang Zheng also made friends with the eunuch Chuanzhi. The eunuch's surname was Gao and his name was Xing (excited Xing)!He is the current head of the Great Tang Imperial City!

When they arrived at the gate of Chang'an, the sky had already darkened. Under the leadership of the eunuch who passed the decree, Yang Zheng and Changle went all the way unimpeded. past.

It was the first time for Yang Zheng to enter the palace of the Tang Dynasty. I have to say that the palace is a bit shabby. It seems that the national power of the Tang Dynasty has not been strong in the past few years. Even the emperor and his father have tightened their belts. It is in disrepair, so mottled marks can be seen everywhere, Li Shimin can be regarded as a generation of Mingjun!
When they arrived at Baifu Hall, Zhao Wuji, Li Shimin's personal bodyguard, went in to report immediately after learning about the situation, and came out after a while and said, "Your Highness, Lord Yang, Your Majesty let you in!"

"Thank you, General Zhao!" Yang Zheng was very polite, and Zhao Wuji felt very happy, thinking to himself that the future son-in-law really has a good manner!
Entering inside, Yang Zheng saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sitting upright on the main hall. Empress Changsun looked much better than before, her whole face was radiant and radiant!And there is a fish tank in a corner of the main hall, and the fish in it are stirring the water, making a lot of noise!
Yang Zheng knelt down behind Changle's buttocks: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Empress Empress, I wish Your Majesty a long live, a long live, and a thousand years for your Majesty!"

Li Shimin hugged his beloved daughter and laughed loudly: "Haha, you are so brave, how dare you perfunctory me, if you really live to live [-] years, then wouldn't I become a bastard?"

Looking at Li Shimin's happy face, Yang Zheng knew that he was still very happy.

Chang Le is carrying fruit and acting like a baby in front of her parents!Having not seen their parents for such a long time, Changle naturally misses them very much, and why don't Li Shimin and Empress Changsun miss Changle day and night?
Empress Changsun also laughed and said: "This child is sweet-talking, and I am eager to call you into the palace this time, just to tell you one thing: I have found out what you said in Guocun, and it is as you said. Almost all the children born to 50 close relatives have physical defects. The closer the blood relationship, the more severe the children. Come back bravely. This time, you have made great contributions to the royal family and the eldest grandson's family! Your Majesty has already The decree prohibits the people of the Tang Dynasty from marrying close relatives!"

Yang Zheng hurriedly said: "I just tell the truth, I dare not take credit! Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, even if I don't tell you, Your Majesty will still find out!"

Li Shimin laughed and scolded: "To be meritorious is to be meritorious. Could it be that I am so confused that I can't distinguish between merit and demerit? Since you proposed to me to marry Changle in front of all the ministers, today I will simply fulfill your wish and come back bravely." Listen to the seal!"

Yang Zheng was overjoyed and stepped forward to bow down!
"Feng Guo County male Yang Zheng is Changle's son-in-law, and we will get married as soon as Changle reaches adulthood!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Zheng was overjoyed, he finally became a son-in-law, and he was still a son-in-law with a golden sword. Could it be that Li Shimin wanted to give me a golden sword?

Sure enough, Li Shimin came over, holding a weapon in his hand: "Gui Gui, I have betrothed my most beloved daughter to you. Don't let me down. This golden sword is a heirloom from my ancestors. I have given it to you today, and I hope you will use it to protect Changle, Li Tang, and all the people in the world. I hope you can swear it in front of me, the queen, and Changle!"

swear?That's right, the ancients believed in this stuff. The feudal education thought since ancient times is to emphasize faith, so once you make an oath, it means that you must do it!

Yang Zheng didn't care about so much, he swore as he swore, marrying his wife first, and then said: "Your Majesty, I swear today: I will spend my life to take care of the princess for the rest of my life, and I will devote myself to the Tang Dynasty before I die! !"

Li Shimin nodded excitedly, and then handed the golden knife in front of Yang Zheng. Yang Zheng quickly took it, and the heavy weight was probably really a golden knife!

And Changle has been very excited for a long time. Through getting along with Yang Zheng during this period, the little girl has fallen in love with Yang Zheng deeply. Today, Yang Zheng swore a poisonous oath in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. , what do you want from me?
Suddenly, Li Shimin frowned when he saw the bucket of loach behind Yang Zheng's buttocks: "Yonggui, what is this thing? The smell is so strong, why did it bring it to the palace!"

Yang Zheng was about to reply, but Changle walked over and said, "Father, this is the loach that I personally caught in the fields. I told you bravely, this loach is delicious, so I wanted to give it to Father." He and his mother brought it back!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed immediately: "Haha, my princess actually went out of the field to catch loaches. Hahahaha, it seems that my daughter has really grown up! In this case, come back bravely, and you can take this loach to the imperial banquet." Let Fang cook a dish for me and the queen, I am really hungry after talking so much!"

Yang Zheng hurriedly said: "I obey!"

Yang Zheng stood up, put the golden knife in his arms, and was about to walk out with the loach. Chang Le followed him: "Yong Gui, I'll go with you!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin burst into laughter again: "Hahahaha, queen, you see, this is not married yet, and the husband and wife have started to play along!"

The couple couldn't stop laughing, while Chang Le stomped her feet in embarrassment: "Father, what are you talking about? My son wants to come back to the palace bravely and can't find a place for the imperial dining room!"

Li Shimin didn't talk too much, he spread his hands out, with an expression that I understand!
Yang Zheng followed Changle to the imperial dining room. A group of cooks in the imperial dining room saw the princess coming, and they were all very nervous: "See Your Highness the princess!"

Chang Le said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite, I personally come here to cook some meals for the father, you just wait on the sidelines!"

Yang Zheng then looked at the imperial dining room. There were a lot of seasonings from Zui Renju in the imperial dining room. It seemed that Li Shimin had already remodeled the imperial dining room after eating the delicious food from Zui Renju!
Yang Zheng fished out some of the loach and rinsed it with clean water several times before he started to kill the loach. Yang Zheng grabbed a handful of intoxicating salt and put it into the basin containing the loach, and found a wooden board to cover it!I heard the loach jumping non-stop inside, and after a while, there was no movement!Yang Zheng lifted the wooden board to see that the loach was no longer jumping so much, and then gutted the loach one by one, and cut off the head of the loach!
After cleaning several times, Yang Zheng cut the loach into equal-length loach slices, then put in ginger juice to remove the fishy smell, mixed in garlic, pepper and other condiments, and after a few minutes, Yang Zheng started to make fried loach with cucumber!Yang Zheng nimbly shoveled the sliced ​​loach meat in the oil pan. Seeing that the color had turned white, he immediately put down the cucumbers, added an appropriate amount of water, covered the pan and started to simmer!

After a few minutes, Yang Zheng lifted the lid of the pot, put the green peppers and scallions into a stew, finally put a little salt, put less bean paste for coloring, and put it out of the pot!
You're done!This kind of home-cooked dish in the 21st century is a delicacy that no one has ever eaten in Datang, and not many people in Datang have eaten loach!

Yang Zheng then cooked a few more dishes with the ingredients from the imperial dining room.Then he returned to Baifu Hall with the food!
After the food was served, Li Shimin saw that Yang Zheng was still standing aside, and said, "Yonggui, why are you still standing there stupidly? You must have been running all the way without eating, so sit down and eat together!"

Yang Zheng hurried to Xie and sat down next to Chang Le.

After tasting the taste of loach, Li Shimin was full of praise: "Well, yes, this thing looks ugly, I didn't expect it to taste so delicious, Yonggui, your craftsmanship is good, I see when I will let those imperial chefs follow you Learn it!"

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "If Your Majesty wants to improve the skills of the royal chefs, just ask them to go to Zuiren Residence to learn from the two chefs. They have already learned my skills!"

Li Shimin nodded: "That's right, you haven't come to Zui Renju for the past few days, and the business is still as good as ever. Speaking of which, I still want to thank you. This year, there are floods everywhere, and my treasury is not full. I have no choice but to find you." The Zuirenju spent [-] guan in emergency, and I will return it to you when the treasury is sufficient in the future!"

Yang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, what?To ask for money directly from Zui Renju?Why didn't I know?
Li Shimin said again: "I didn't let them say it, so you still want to give me my face?"

Yang Zheng hurriedly looked at the left and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, next year we will plant sweet potatoes, yams, corn, rice, peanuts and other crops in Tang Dynasty, and we will definitely have a bumper harvest. In the future, we will gradually expand the population and cultivated land. Tang will prosper day by day!"

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, I am placing my hope on you now. This year's experiment in Guo County must be successful, otherwise you, a man from Founding County, will not be able to do it!"

Yang Zheng secretly scolded his father-in-law as a bastard. Damn, he got a knighthood the size of a palm, but he still has to act like a cow or a horse for you. If things don't go his way, he will fall into trouble. Who can I ask to reason with him?Li Shimin is really slipperier than the loach in this bowl!
But he could only say: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to the emperor's grace, Guo County's harvest is inevitable!"

Li Shimin ate the loach with big mouthfuls, smiling all over his face!
