Chapter 532 The tangled prince

(I'm eager to ask for monthly tickets. It's better to be a five-day every day, but the monthly ticket ranking dropped to seventh. Brothers, if you have monthly tickets, take the initiative. Although it's doubled at the end of the month, monthly tickets can only be effective at the beginning of the month!)

The morning drums rang.

A new day has begun.

The city gates of Chang'an are opened one after another, and the city becomes noisy. Although the border towns hosted by Li Chao in Taozhou and Ningyuan have already broken the closed pattern of the lifang, scattered the concentrated city on the streets, forming a new street market layout.

But in the capital Chang'an, the walls of Chang'an's 109 fang are still standing high, and the city gates, gates, and city gates are still strictly following the system of closing the city at dusk and opening the door at dawn.

Li Chao was thrusting his face and rinsing his mouth with a huge drum sound, then practiced riding and archery. After training, he swam in the garden swimming pool for a while, took a shower, changed into court clothes under Zheng Wanyan's service, and rode his horse to the East Palace for court.

He is still the governor of Shuofang, but Li Shimin did not intend to let him go back soon. Li Chao did not receive any notice from Li Shimin, saying that he would go back to Jingzhao Prefecture or the Ministry of War to take charge of the affairs, so Li Chao was very lazy and refused to go to the two yamen to take care of him.

I get up every morning and go to the East Palace to attend the court meeting.

Li Shimin is a diligent b. Not only does he have many New Year and New Year meetings, but he also has morning courts every day. Li Yuan still lives in Tai Chi Palace, and the court officials go to Xiande Hall of the East Palace every day to attend court.

The time for the court meeting is generally not constant, it is more like a ritual.

Li Shimin regarded the morning court as a place to issue notices. Various edicts and imperial edicts were issued directly in the morning court, or the personnel adjustment orders were issued through the morning court.

The real officials don’t have many opportunities to speak, and they won’t listen to you in general and waste time here.

After the morning court, the officials returned to their yamen to work, and the prime ministers had to go to the Shangshu Province first as usual. The political affairs hall where the prime ministers discussed the affairs office was set up in the Shangshu Province.

The prime ministers came to the court and met at the Provincial Political Affairs Hall.

Originally, this political affairs hall was not involved in anything Li Shimin's affairs, but Li Shimin ran over to participate with a shy face every day. Over time, everyone got used to it.

Li Shimin came shamelessly every day and often took over the title of hosting.

Originally, according to the system, the Political Affairs Hall was of course the place where the prime ministers discussed. If the emperor wanted to discuss matters with the prime ministers, he had to summon the prime ministers to discuss with his palace. But Li Shimin liked to join the Political Affairs Hall and join his relatives.

The prime ministers were helpless about such emperors. Especially Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, they were originally the leaders of the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, but in the early Tang Dynasty, led by the Shangshu Province and not the subordinates of the Zhongshu School, they were equivalent to the prime ministers, but Li Shimin came to the Political Affairs Hall every day, which was actually the same as Li Shimin was the Shangshu Ling.

It is helpless to be the prime minister under such an emperor.

Li Chao was also a little helpless.

Ping Zhangshi was originally a bonus, allowing him to enter the Political Affairs Hall to participate in military and national affairs. The Procurator-General Zuo Pushe was a reward for his recovery of the Shuofang, which was just a bonus for his title.

But now Li Shimin left Li Chao in the capital and asked him to go to work in the political affairs hall every day.

Zuo Pushe, the secretary of the prosecutor who had the honorary title, really took up the position of acting.

Palace of Virtue.

Morning court.

Li Shimin made Li Chao very happy. He did not let the ministers stand in court. The prime ministers also had a chair and a few cases, and there were tea and snacks on the table.

Other officials also have soft cushions to sit on.

Everyone sat there for a meeting, which was much better than standing there.

Li Chao is quite in front, enjoying a chair and being able to lean against his back.

During the morning court, Li Chao usually didn't say anything. Just listen to the emperor's spirit and listen to the instructions. Anyway, this is the same as the morning meetings in later enterprises. Standing there, finishing a few things one, two, three, four, and five, then assign tasks, praise a few, criticize a few, and then disband and go back to work.

After the prime ministers dispersed, they would first go to their respective yamen to hold a small meeting, check their work, assign tasks, and then return to the provincial provincial office for the deliberation.

The major decisions of the imperial court were basically discussed and decided at the Du Provincial Political Affairs Hall.

This political affairs hall is more like a standing committee.

The prime ministers of the three provinces, the chiefs of the three provinces, the Pingzhang faction, and the three public officials and three divisions were all considered members of the Standing Committee. However, now Pei Ji and Feng Lun are very unwilling to be liked by Li Shimin, so they have been snatched up long ago.

Li Shimin specially ordered that he understood the hard work of the two three officials and allowed them to court for half a month without having to go to the government office to take care of the matter. If there is any problem, the emperor asked them to go to their mansion to ask for instructions.

In fact, this is what makes them go out of their homes and retire.

Now Pei Ji and Feng Deyi basically enter the Tai Chi Palace every day, and follow the Tai Shang Emperor Li Yuan to compete for the landlord, play mahjong, and play. The band is still having fun without Li Chao.

Li Shimin said that I understand. You guys play with your own things, just don’t disturb me.

Li Chao now does not have the will of Li Shimin, and he does not go to Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of War to take care of things. Sometimes, the more things you do, the better. The emperor cannot ignore or forget such an important thing, but the emperor has never had the will. The meaning is very obvious. The emperor does not want Li Chao to take care of Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of War again.

On the one hand, perhaps the emperor was considerate of Li Chao. After all, Li Chao is now the actual position of the governor of Shuofang, and now he is reporting his work to the emperor in the capital. The emperor was considerate of Li Chao so that he would not have to work so hard.

Or from the other hand, the emperor simply doesn't want Li Chao to take care of too much.

Li Chao understood these clearly.

Other prime ministers went to their respective yamen, while Li Chao sat alone in the kitchen of the backyard of the capital province to make breakfast. When he went out, Li Chao drank a cup of fresh milk and only drank a bowl of porridge. Now he is hungry again.

Li Chao has also developed a habit these days.

That is to keep a little belly and save some breakfast in the morning. Anyway, he will have about half an hour of free time after morning court every day. Everyone is busy, so he is idle and sitting is boring.

This morning, Li Chao planned to eat simpler.

Stand up pancakes and fruits to eat.

Pancakes are said to be famous snacks in Tianjin, but in later generations, the regional distinction has become very vague. No matter what kind of delicious food it is, people across the country are eating, people across the country are making, and people across the country are making.

Li Chao used to like eating pancakes and fruits. In fact, Li Chao is a foodie. He likes to eat all kinds of delicious foods, and even often learns to make them by following online tutorials.

Many Li Chao's houses have been moved in the kitchen in the provincial courtyard. Special dishes, special kitchen knives, and even various seasonings. Even the stove pot has been renovated.

Stir the fine green salt, alkali powder and warm water together. After it melts, pour in mung bean flour, add some camellia oil, stir it with chopsticks to form a floc, and then knead it into a smooth dough, cover it with a wet cloth and wake up for a while.

Apply some oil to the chopping board, roll the awakened dough into a rectangular thin slice, and fold it a few more times.

Burn the fire, put oil in the pot, boil, and fry the pancakes.

Li Chao enjoys the process of making food, not only because he loves eating, but also the process of making food.

You can empty your head and not think about those messy things.

The officials in the province have long been accustomed to the special habits of this young prime minister, and no one will disturb him at all. Anyway, this kitchen has become a special purpose for Li Chao.

Nowadays, the prime ministers are actually quite young. Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Gao Shilian is only in his early fifties, Yu Wenshi and Yang Gongren are only in their forties, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are only in their thirties, and Li Chao and Changsun Wuji are only in their twenties. Such young prime ministers bring a lot of vitality to the Political Affairs Hall of the Ministry of the Province.

I picked up the fried bubbles, flipped the side once, and fryed the other side to golden brown.

Take it up and let it drain.

Li Chao picked up a piece of ham and began to slice it.

He cut a little more. Today's pancakes must be eaten by all the prime ministers, and Li Shimin also wanted to eat them, so he ordered two more. This guy now brings Cheng Qian to the Zhengshi Hall every day and asks him to follow him to discuss matters. Every morning, he watched Cheng Qian sitting there, looking confused and unable to understand anything, and he couldn't move around, Li Chao felt very happy.

Xiaoyao, I deserve it if I dare to say that my daughter is ugly.

Although he felt that Li Shimin was a little too eager for his son to be successful, he was only seven years old, and if you ask him to go to the Political Affairs Hall to listen to the Prime Minister's discussion, he would understand it. He wasted half a morning.

Li Chao held a small cooking stove to make breakfast in the capital. When the prime ministers found out, they all asked Li Chao to make one for them, and they could not just eat alone. So, Li Chao now makes breakfast in different ways every day, and he also has to make one for the prime minister and the emperor and the prince.

Fortunately, they eat whatever they eat, which saves trouble.

Anyway, half an hour a day, breakfast for about ten people is enough.

Heat the pan, turn to low heat, and apply a layer of thin oil. Scoop in a large spoonful of powder slurry. Li Chao held the handle of the pot in his hand, let the pot turn around, and skillfully let the powder slurry flatten the bottom of the pot.

When the powder slurry solidifies, an egg will be immediately cracked. The pure native eggs are absolutely fake and do not eat feed. They are produced from the Bashang bathtower and are from the free-range Sanhuang chicken. It is produced by the Li family in Bashang and is absolutely authentic.

Use a spatula to spread the eggs and smooth them so that the egg whites and egg yolks are evenly distributed on the cake.

Then sprinkle with chopped green onions, cilantro and sesame seeds that have been chopped.

When the egg liquid was about to solidify, Li Chao turned the cake one side and began to apply the secret exclusive sauce on the cake.

Put fried pancakes, lettuce, and ham slices in the middle of the pancake, wrap them on both sides, shovel out and you can eat it.

Li Chao reached out to get the plate and was about to shovel it out. He happened to see Li Chengqian standing behind him, staring at the pancakes in the pot, and still swallowing his saliva.

"Want to eat? Come and bring the plate yourself."

As a result, Li Chengqian snorted.

This kid is still resenting the last time he was beaten in the Duke of Zhao's mansion. When Li Shimin was there, he was very polite to Li Chao. When Li Shimin was away, he was very obedient to Li Chao.

"Just, Gu is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could he eat such things that cannot be used as a prestigious person!"

Li Chao smiled and shoveled the freshly sat pie and cut the fruit into the plate.

He reached out and handed over.

"I said I wouldn't eat such ugly things."

"I really don't eat it?"

The fragrance of the pancake fruit made Li Chengqian's stomach rumbling. Although he said he didn't want it, his hand finally reached out.

I picked it up and took a bite. The crispy and fragrant, fried crispy pancakes, soft and crispy pancakes, and delicious eggs, ham slices, chives, lettuce, sesame, and other things. Li Chengqian felt that his mouth was about to explode.

So delicious.

He quickly bit it again and ate it hard, ignoring the little prince's appearance.

Li Shimin happened to walk in and saw the prince's voracious look at him, and he couldn't help but look bad.

"I don't have a good meal in the morning and I'm picky about food. I'll come here and eat voraciously."

When Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin expose his shortcomings, he choked.

Li Chao took two steps forward and patted his back a few times. Li Chengqian sprayed out the stuck pancake.

"Eat slowly, no one robs you." Li Chao said with a smile.

Li Chengqian's face turned red. He looked at the pancakes in his hand and wanted to shake them on Li Chao's face, but he couldn't bear it. It was so delicious. Nothing was better than Li Chao's breakfast made in the palace.

This made him very confused. Should he hate Li Chao in the future? (To be continued.)
