The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin is not staying in the Pyongyang Palace at the moment, which is now the Palace of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

He was sitting leisurely in the private room on the third floor of Cheng's restaurant, sipping fine wine, eating small dishes, and admiring the scenery and figures outside the window.

As far as I can see, there are row upon row of buildings in Pyongyang, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

You can even hear a lot of people talking in a slightly weird tone, but they are already fluent in Datang Mandarin.

Who could have imagined that just two months ago, this place was still the royal capital of Koguryo, which was full of vigilance and fear of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, there is already a feeling of living in the bustling and noisy town of Datang.

Speaking Tang mandarin, learning Tang Chinese characters, wearing Tang clothes, eating Tang food, and using Tang products have become the favorite things for the people of Le Lang Province today.

Not long after, Li Shimin heard footsteps, and Zhao Kun, the head of the inner guard, came to the door of the private room immediately, and saw Li Ji and Nama Tuesday coming hand in hand.

"Why do you two lovers have the time to come here to look for me?" Li Shimin smiled and beckoned the two of them to come and sit down.

After Li Jing sat down with a smile, he couldn't help sniffling and said.

"Your Majesty has such a leisurely and elegant taste, so I naturally want to join in the fun, eh... I seem to smell the scent of the dried bamboo rat..."

"Haha, unexpectedly, Li Aiqing not only has sharp eyes and ears, but also a first-rate sense of smell."

Li Shimin nodded, and raised his finger to point to the small pottery pot with a small charcoal stove underneath.

"It was sent by King Qi from Dengzhou. When it comes to cooking this kind of food, it's the Cheng's restaurant that makes it authentic."

"And after adding some peppers, the taste is even better than the dry pot bamboo rats I tasted in the past..."

"Zhao Kun, ask someone to send you two more copies. If the two Qing families are not afraid, you should try it."

Ma Zhou is also a gourmet. Hearing this, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"That minister will be disrespectful. I have never tasted the dry pot bamboo rat with chili to enhance the spicy taste..."

After a short time, two pots of dried bamboo rats were brought up, and these dried bamboos were placed on top of the pot.

The thick soup is slowly bubbling, as the firepower continues to simmer, until the soup is absorbed by the bamboo rat meat.

It will turn into fat and slowly fry the bamboo rat meat in the pan to make the bamboo rat meat more fragrant, tasty and chewy.

Li Ji stayed in Luzhou for a while and ate a lot of bamboo rats, which was also very good.

Slowly chewing the bamboo rat meat with the skin on, the skin is elastic, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and the rich taste spreads between the lips and teeth.

It is fragrant, spicy, and exciting, which makes Ma Zhou's mouth full of greasy food, and at the same time, he is addicted to it.

I even almost wanted to stick out my tongue to slow down the raging spicy taste in my mouth, so I quickly ate a few mouthfuls of cold dishes.

I couldn't help but continue to pick up the fast food and deal with the delicacies in the pot.

Li Shimin looked at the uncontrollable eating of the two Qings with a smile, couldn't help laughing, and was about to speak.

He heard a commotion from below, it turned out that the big stage in the square not far from the Cheng's restaurant was about to start a show.

"This city of Pyongyang is really much more lively than in the past, I heard these days.

But on the days when the theater starts every five or ten days, the people around Pyongyang City also come to join in the fun. "

"Fortunately, several large theaters have been installed inside and outside the city for the common people to watch.

Otherwise, I really worry about whether the common people will cause trouble because of watching such a big show. "

I heard Li Ji and Ma Zhou chatting about the stage and those repertoires.

After all, in fact, these repertoires are already considered old-fashioned. After all, these are the major theaters in Liaodong.

Now that I have come here, it is still the same routine, at most it is to change the characters or the plot, and then continue to act.

But even so, those Goguryeo... Well, it should be said that the people of Le Lang Province are not tired of it.

"This kind of drama is so perfunctory, even the old man feels a little bored, so I will ask Cheng Sanlang to come up with some new dramas later."

Li Ji let out a haha, swallowed the food in his mouth hard, and started chatting about serious business.

"Your Majesty, all the ships conscripted to cross the sea have arrived at the wharf at the mouth of Alishui."

"In addition, His Royal Highness Qi Wang sent news that the concrete official road from Luoyang to Dengzhou was opened to traffic ten days ago..."

"Furthermore, according to the news that came back, the post cars of the Han and Tang Dynasties Commercial Bank have been tested. The entire cement official road from Luoyang to Dengzhou, their post cars will arrive in Dengzhou in about 13 to 14 days."

"Less than half a month?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately.

Li Ji nodded and smiled.

"Exactly, but compared to the express train between Chang'an and Luoyang, it is much slower."

Ma Zhou nodded, but he also said something fair.

"That's not the same. The express train from Chang'an to Luoyang will change horses many times on the way, but their long-distance train will change horses once a day. It's normal to be slower."

"Okay, okay, since this is the case, everything in Lelang and Liaodong provinces is already in order, and with Li Qing and you sitting in Lelang, I don't have anything to worry about. It should be time for my class to return to court."

"I'm still waiting. After I return to Luoyang, I will hold the grandest ancestral temple sacrifice.

Let all the nations of the world know that I have triumphed over the enemy, and that the rulers and ministers of Goguryeo have become prisoners of my Tang Dynasty..."

Li Shimin stood up, stood with his hands behind his back with a red face, took down Goguryeo, and took the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers to present the ancestral temple prisoners in front of the people of the world.

For Great Tang, for himself, the emperor of Great Tang, the sense of accomplishment he brought was far inferior to that of Jieli Khan who was bound to Chang'an City in the past.

After all, it was himself who personally led Wu Ben of the Tang Dynasty to successfully defeat Goguryeo, captured his monarch and his ministers, and returned them.

In the world, who else dares to slander, Lao Tzu is not recognized by the world as a wise master, my Tang Dynasty is not as good as the former Sui Dynasty?

As for Baekje in the south, let's keep it for now. As a father, I have overcome the most difficult difficulties.

I can't let my own son, the crown prince, inherit Qian, and I won't even have a chance to improve my prestige in the future...

Well, then take it as a tool that I give to my son to increase his prestige after he ascends the throne in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a kind smile on his face. At this moment, he also missed his relatives in Luoyang very much.

#####

At the same moment, Fuyu Yici, the king of Baekje, was slumping limply on the table in the palace. The leftovers in front of him proved what he had gone through.

He was very unhappy to see Datang easily controlling the old Goguryeo land, but he really couldn't spare the energy to make troubles.

As the saying goes, there is more energy than energy, and the current domestic affairs in Baekje have already made him burnt out, and his heart is ashamed.

After undergoing a whole winter of repairs, the Dengzhou Navy once again resumed the previous various operations.

It can be said that the people of Baekje today are either lying flat with broken jars.

Or, you can only retreat to the inland far away from the coast and water shore to make a living~www.readwn.com~Because only in that kind of place, the people, soldiers and civilians of Baekje will not be harassed by the Datang Navy and the naval landing force.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】

Otherwise, they would just watch the planted crops being destroyed, the city walls being torn down, and even the government offices being blown up.

The soldiers who defended the country were directly taken away by the Tang soldiers, and it was said that they were all sent to Liaodong to work as coolies.

Faced with such a result, none of the Baekje soldiers is willing to face this known helpless fate.

The sound of silk and bamboo echoed in the hall, and there was a beautiful dancer, twisting her Miaoman figure.

Ke Fuyu Yici stared at the ceiling blankly with a pair of **** drunken eyes, like a wise man caught in the sage's time.

All he considered was one question, and that was, Datang, what the **** do you want?
