Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

In the past few days, the tense atmosphere in the court seemed to have become much less tense.

Qin Qiong resumed going to court. Although the warrior Yu was old, he still insisted on going to court every day.

It’s not that Samurai Yu is very dedicated, but mainly because when selling the glass, he has to report it to Li Shimin.

After Wei Zheng calmed down his temperament, there was always a little less flavor in the court. Wei Zheng did not slander others, just like a husky who was well-behaved and smart and did not break up the family. Cheng Yaojin was serious about dancing and writing, and Li Gang traveled to the end of the world with his sword.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like a violation.

This feeling of dissonance lasted for five days and reached its peak today.

The reason is that Li Shimin began to reward his former right-hand men.

Starting from Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Niu Jinda, and Li Jing, all of them are indispensable. They are all top-grade colored glazes of the Tang Dynasty. The entire main hall is filled with light and dazzling.

Chang He, the city gate attendant who opened the door for Li Shimin, also received a reward. Looking at the glass with dazzling light flowing in his hand, Chang He burst into tears.

Li Shimin was extremely heroic, and with a wave of his hand, the clouds were calm and the wind was light, as if what happened today was just like countless days and nights in the past, ordinary.

Even though the imperial engine was pounding in his chest for a long time, he couldn't help but feel so happy in his heart.

The Cui family of Qinghe, the best surname in the world, got a night-light pearl. The pearl exuded a faint green light among the crowd in broad daylight, making Cheng Yaojin's doubtful eyes become even greener.

Li Shimin has never dared to forget this thing. Liu Xuan said that if this thing is unknown, then it must not be kept.

This move directly shocked the officials related to the five surnames and Qiwang in the court.

Your Majesty, what's going on?

His own confidants were all rewarded with colored glaze, but when he came to the Cui family in Qinghe, he directly took out the Night Pearl?

Could it be that the treasury is empty again? Are you nervous about your money again?

I heard that in the early years of Zhenguan, the treasury was tight, and Empress Changsun ordered the harem to be frugal in food and clothing. People in the government and the public were all watching, and they didn't even have the desire to stretch out their hands.

Only Li Jing did not have the slightest doubt when faced with Li Shimin's strange operations.

Li Jing has refused many things that Li Shimin once rewarded. He understands the current emperor, but even if he is as strong as the current emperor, there is no guarantee that he will be like Liu Bang. Li Jing has always been very low-key, working hard and being a low-key person.

Today, he no longer refused Li Shimin's kindness and accepted Liuli, who was flying as an eagle with its wings spread. Even so, Li Jing's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought, filled with incomprehension about Li Shimin's current behavior.

After the court ended, he hurried towards the imperial study without stopping.

Outside the royal study, the emperor's personal eunuch saw Li Jing appearing and immediately smiled: "General, your majesty is waiting for you."

Li Jing frowned, then nodded.

In the imperial study room, the scent of sandalwood was lingering, and Li Shimin lay happily on the couch. The whole room, steamed by the stove, was like a completely different world from the cold weather outside.

Seeing Li Jing coming over, Li Shimin smiled and asked Li Jing to sit down first.

"Pharmacist, you finally accepted what I gave you."

Li Shimin said lightly.

Li Jing heard the meaning and sighed in his heart, there was nothing he could do, if he died in the conquest, he would deserve to die.

But if he died as a lackey, it would be too frustrating.

"Your Majesty, I dare not resign."

Li Shimin nodded: "I knew you would come over. Why, is there anything you don't understand?"

Li Jing felt very at ease in his heart, even though there was something he didn't understand.

His Majesty seems to have changed in the past few years, but his strategizing attitude today seems to have not changed.

"Your Majesty, I think that now that the country has settled down and the people are recuperating and recuperating, the national treasury is not sufficient, and your Majesty should not be like this."

Li Shimin originally wanted to show off in front of Li Jing, but suddenly realized that Li Jing had become a bit like Wei Zheng.

"Pharmacist, what do you say?"

Li Jing didn't know where to start, and his face was full of confusion.

"Your Majesty, why don't you exchange these glazed treasures for copper coins to help the people? The cold winter is coming this year, and it is extremely difficult for the people in the world to survive the winter. Your Majesty has always been kind to the people, and I am willing to take some things from home and exchange them for property... "

Li Shimin took a long breath and was extremely moved when he heard Li Jing's words.

What is a good minister? This is it!

Li Yuan was unwilling to save Li Jing back then, but Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.

It is said that Li Jing was like a god in using troops and had no equal in the world.

This is true for others, but not so for Li Shimin.

Because no matter how Li Jing used his troops like a god, there was still a mountain above his head, and that was Li Shimin himself.

"Pharmacist, you are overthinking. Do you feel that it is very warm here?"

After being reminded by Li Shimin, Li Jing realized that when he came in just now, he felt that his whole body was surrounded by warmth, and everything seemed different.

Scanning the imperial study room, Li Jing saw that weird-looking thing, which looked like a stove.

"Your Majesty, is it because of this stove?"

Because of Hongfu Nu, Li Jing rarely goes out except for work, so he is naturally unfamiliar with stoves and coal.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he came and came, and finally met someone who didn't know anything.

Ahem, let me explain it to you.

"Pharmacist, you don't know about coal stoves?"

"Hiss..." Li Shimin's eyes became strange, as if he had seen the most bizarre person in the world.

Li Jing was also confused. Coal stove? What is this?

When did it appear?

"It's not your fault, haha."

"You just said that the people of the world may not be able to get through the severe winter. I will give you an answer now."

"As long as they have this kind of coal stove, they will not be afraid of the cold."

Li Shimin smiled and opened the lid on the coal stove. In an instant, a flame-like heat wave rushed into the sky.

"Pharmacist, look here, the thing burning here is called coal, which is coal. I have improved coal. Now there are no more harmful things when coal burns."

Li Jing was shocked and looked into the stove.

The whole piece of coal burned red in the flames, emitting an irresistible heat wave, which hit his face and even burned him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and glanced at Li Jing calmly: "Well, it's just so-so."

"I am just an unintentional person. I didn't expect to discover such a good thing."

Li Jing asked curiously: "Your Majesty, is this coal expensive?"

Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously: "Pharmacist, coal, and stove, are not expensive."

"For those who can't afford it, I will directly let the officials of each state and county distribute it. If people are frozen to death in winter, they will lose their jobs."
