Chapter 541 This cook dares to scold the emperor?
After being discovered, Changsun slowly got up from the ground, without any shyness or embarrassment on his face.
Although she was wearing a coarse cotton skirt, she was still dignified and elegant.
Some nobleness cannot be disguised by disguise, nor can it be suppressed by the environment and clothing. For example, the current Queen Changsun interprets this very well.
Even if you dress simply or squat in the crowd, your behavior and words will give you a sense of nobility.
The official of the Honglu Temple almost cried. His voice was trembling and he kept saying, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Changsun held a large thick porcelain bowl in his left hand, and his right hand was elegant and generous and gently stroked his hair on his forehead, smiling calmly, like a spring breeze.
At this time, the surrounding area had already knelt down all over the ground. The queen had no choice but to whitewash the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty has not spoken to stop him, so you will keep kneeling? The people are all here to find food, not to worship our husband and wife..."
Li Shimin nodded quickly and said to the people who were kneeling down on the ground: "You should calm down quickly. I am traveling in a condom today. I am a diner like you. Everyone does not need so much politeness."
Seeing that the people were still restrained and dared not get up, his eyes couldn't help but sweep the big sea bowls on the ground, and said warmly: "Get up quickly, I'll put the bowls on the kowtow. It would be bad if this matter was recorded by the historian. I still want to leave a good reputation in the history books!"
The emperor held a large porcelain bowl on his back with one hand, and smiled and said, "There are sages, and the world is the most important thing to eat. Eat and drink in advance. Even if you meet the emperor, you should do this. There is no need to kowtow when you eat."
He waved his hand and continued, "Come on, everyone will get up, pick up your bowls, break up your cakes, and today I will eat and drink with you, let's go to the mutton steamed buns..."
The emperor spoke interestingly and his tone was very peaceful. The people present couldn't help but chuckled with kindness.
The official from Honglu Temple was trembling all over, and his back was wet with sweat.
Several envoys from the Western Regions behind him looked at each other, and suddenly someone coughed and tentatively said: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that he had the biggest meal. May I ask which sage in the Central Plains said this?"
The envoy came out and said solemnly: "I have studied the Han culture carefully and read all the poems and books of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Neither Laozi, Confucius nor Mencius seemed to have said the biggest saying of the world and the earth... "
The emperor glanced at him and said calmly: "This is what my eldest son said."
The envoy was stunned and said in surprise: "King Zhao of Xifu? What kind of sage is he?"
Obviously, the envoy knew the power structure of the Central Plains very well. As soon as the emperor spoke of his eldest son, he immediately blurted out of King Zhao of the Western Palace.
Li Shimin smiled coldly and said, "The emperor protects all peoples, and sages teach the world. My eldest son can protect all peoples and educate the world. I say he is a living sage. Do you have any objection to this envoy?"
The envoy's pupils contracted twice, and he vaguely felt that the tone of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a little hard.
Hard and strong confidence.
If it were the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin would never have spoken to the envoys like this. Then, now the Tang Dynasty has gradually become stronger and will never be bullied again.
National diplomacy has been like this since ancient times. If you are weak, I will be strong. Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, neighboring countries must be respected well.
The envoy suddenly bowed and said solemnly: "Harris, the envoy of Tuyuhun, met His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin looked at him and thoughtfully said: "I heard that there are those who have gathered political and religious powers in the Western Regions. They have exclusively owned a unique name from generation to generation, which seems to be called the Caliph... Your name is Harris, which is only one word different from the Caliph. I believe that he is also a powerful figure in China. It seems that Tuyuhun sent an important official this time."
"No, no!"
Harris shook his head quickly and explained: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty misunderstood that Harris is the dual leader of the regime and religion of the Islamic State. It is an inherent and inheritable title, similar to the name of the Emperor of the Central Plains. The name of this envoy is different, so I am the Caliph. This is the name given to me by my parents..."
"Is that true?"
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said lightly: "The customs of the Western Regions are not like those of the Central Plains. I am actually not very clear about it. I will ask you after I see my eldest son. You can find out this kind of thing after asking a little."
Harris' pupils shrank again.
...
He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but tentatively: "Listen to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is it because His Highness Zhao, the Western Palace, seemed to be very familiar with the customs of the Western Regions?"
He was very careful when he asked this, and his heart was constantly worried and felt very uneasy.
Now Han Yue holds the three guards in the Western Prefecture, which is invincible in the world. If he is interested in the Western Regions, does it mean that he wants to attack the Western Regions?
Unfortunately, who is Li Shimin? How could a person be secretly confiscated by an envoy?
The emperor smiled faintly, saying: "My eldest son is known as a natural genius, and naturally has the ability to know astronomy and geography. He should have some research on the customs of the Western Regions, but he has never mentioned it to me."
Speaking of this, I looked at Harris and said meaningfully: "If I hadn't been curious about your name today, I wouldn't have thought of so many things at all..."
This was said without any leakage. It not only knocked the other party but also made the other party unable to grasp the handle. Harris rolled his throat a few times, and he swallowed quietly, trying to test it but not daring to test it.
At this time, people gradually began to get up from the ground. Everyone picked up their own bowls and chopsticks, broke the rough-faced cakes they had just bought, and put them carefully into the bowl while controlling the sound.
Li Shimin suddenly laughed and said, "I'm just talking to you. The mutton steamed buns should be cold. Eat the meal, and the world is the biggest."
Empress Changsun next to him came over with a bowl and handed it to the emperor, saying, "You should eat this bowl first. I just broke two rough-faced cakes, so they were soaked soft and just in the mouth."
The emperor shook his head and refused, saying, "The interest in eating mutton soaked buns is to break the cake by yourself. What's the point of doing it for Guanyin maid? Don't, I'll break it by yourself."
Changsun glanced at him and chuckled, "Forget it, it's just my wish. I didn't plan to give it to you, I've been betraying it for a long time and haven't spoken."
Li Shimin laughed and walked to a table and chair with a bowl.
Before, everyone did not know the identities of the emperor and the queen, so no one gave up their seats, which resulted in the squatting on the ground and joining in the fun. But now that everyone knows the identities of the emperor and the queen, naturally, there are smart people giving up a row of seats early.
The emperor found a stool and sat down. Suddenly, he found that Liao Wurenyan was half a squad around him. He sighed helplessly and waved to everyone, "Everyone comes here to sit, it's not interesting to eat alone, especially this mutton steamed bun needs to be like this. It's a good time to eat together."
Changsun smiled and took a big bowl over to sit with him.
However, the rest of the people did not have the courage and still stood there and did not dare to move.
Li Shimin sighed again, suddenly waved to the side not far away, and said, "Come here, come here, sit with me. I know you always want this opportunity. I will give you this opportunity today."
Everyone present was stunned and subconsciously followed the direction of the emperor's wave.
The people have shallow vision and do not recognize others, but those who come here today can stop the people.
For example, there are officials in the court, wealthy families, powerful ministers and nobles, and wealthy families.
Everyone looked at the place the emperor pointed at. It didn't matter when they saw it. Everyone was stunned and their faces became extremely wonderful.
It turned out that there were many big figures among the crowd squatting and eating not far away.
But seeing that there were about twenty people squatting in the row, each of whom lowered his head and held the bowl, it seemed very embarrassing, so I felt embarrassed to look up.
At this time, Li Shimin reached out to ask them, and they would definitely not be able to hide if they wanted to lower their heads and hide. Suddenly, they saw a young man standing up with a blushing face, and walked here and sat down.
"It turned out to be Prince Cheng Gan..."
Someone in the crowd yelled softly.
Now Li Chengqian has been named the crown prince again. In the eyes of everyone, the crown prince is naturally noble, almost second only to the emperor and the queen.
Seeing Li Chengqian appear, it made people feel moved. Everyone couldn't help but look at the row of people squatting and eating, and their faces became more and more exciting.
The second one to stand up was Li Tai, who was the King of Wei of the current dynasty.
The third one who stood up was Concubine Yang, who were the four great concubines.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...
...
Every time someone stood up, a soft cry came from the crowd.
Finally, after a rough count, I found that there were as many as twenty-two people squatting there for a meal just now, all of whom were noble people from the royal family.
The emperor and the queen are the most identifiable. The prince is also the concubine.
This is just a comparison, because the last time is also titled as a king. What is the king? There are only two kings in the Tang Dynasty with different surnames, and the rest are all royal bloodlines.
A king who is placed in the royal family or is inconspicuous, is an amazing figure among the people.
But after seeing these royal families get up, they all sit next to the emperor in order with bowls. Unfortunately, there are still vacancies in this row of seats, but everyone present still dare not go forward, let alone sit with the emperor for dinner.
Li Shimin sighed slightly, and said with a strange look: "This is the emperor's lonely and widowed person. There has never been anyone around him. I want to share the joy with the people, but the people quietly stay away."
This sentence is a little sad, and seems to be specifically said to some people.
The chef from the mutton steamed bun shop suddenly knocked on the soup pot with a large spoon, and said impatiently: "Who would like to sit with him? The meal fee in the small shop is free of charge today, so as not to complain all day long, and people are irritated..."
This suddenly followed the emperor, giving people a sense of abruptness.
He dares to say bad things to the emperor and speaks in front of the emperor. I don’t know if the shop has a bad temper or is born stupid. Isn’t he afraid of beheading his head?
But Li Shimin was not angry at all and was still slapping the table there and laughing. In addition, Queen Changsun glanced at the chef, but soon took her eyes back.
A faint sigh seemed to be heard.
...
...The second update is now, today is updated 7,000 words. By the way, guess who this chef is. His face is broken, and many people don’t know him. Everything that can be guessed is big, and of course he has a bigger imagination.
