After returning home from the Yan Mansion and having lunch, Zhao Yunze took a short rest and went into the kitchen.Receiving the emperor, you can't be sloppy, you must prepare early.But when it was time to do it, Zhao Yunze was worried.What kind of dishes should be made, His Majesty Li Er's taste, we don't know.After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yunze was very happy, simply, let's get a hot pot, no matter whether this thing is rich or poor, there are not many people who don't like it.It is said that hot pot only appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and there is no such thing at all.Thinking of it, he immediately started it, Zhao Yunze picked up a pork leg, shaved off the pork, and only boiled the soup with bones as the base of the hot pot soup; Take Sichuan pepper and star anise, roast and crush in a dry pot, then add green salt, garlic paste, leek sauce, and mix sesame oil into a dipping sauce.After that, it's time to prepare the various ingredients for shabu-shabu.Although limited to the lack of materials, many of the seasonings used in shabu-shabu shabu in later generations are not available, but Zhao Yunze is still very confident in the hot pot he made.Anyway, this thing is the first time it has appeared in Datang, and it will definitely be very popular.At this time, it is already September, and it is very cool in the evening, and it is not too hot to eat hot pot.After working for half an afternoon, Zhao Yunze prepared the hot pot.arranged the venue under the big jujube tree in the front yard again, and Zhao Yunze waited for the guests to come to the door.When the sunset dyes half the sky red, Fang Zhi arrives first.Directly asked Fang Zhi to sit down in the field arranged in the front yard, and the two talked."
Brother Zhao, I don't know which big man in the court wants to summon Fang" Maybe he heard Mrs.
Fang say that Zhao Yunze helped him get a ministry, Fang Zhi was very polite to Zhao Yunze, and called him "Brother Zhao".Zhao Yunze smiled mysteriously and said, "Lord Fang, please sit tight." ”The so-called "sitting" is actually kneeling.Zhao Yunze just formed a circle with several low tables, leaving a place for the hot pot in the circle.Outside the low table, a circle of futons is placed.Fang Zhi knelt on the futon at this moment.Zhao Yunze would not bend his knees, he was sitting cross-legged at this time.Seeing what Zhao Yunze said, Fang Zhi became even more curious."
Your Majesty is coming to my house for dinner."
Zhao Yunze's fluttering words almost made Fang Zhi fall headlong on the low table."
What, Your Majesty wants to see Fang" Zhao Yunze smiled and nodded.Fang Zhi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly to Zhao Yunze: "Brother Zhao introduced Fang's kindness to His Majesty, and he must remember it" Zhao Yunze also hurriedly stood up, stepped forward and hugged Fang Zhi with both hands, and said: "Lord Fang misunderstood, I just conveyed His Majesty's will."
Your Majesty's summoning of you this time is all due to your own merits, and has nothing to do with me. ”"Anyway, Brother Zhao took care of Fang Mou, and Fang Mou wrote it down."
Fang Zhi seemed to believe that it was Zhao Yunze who helped him.Since it was the emperor who wanted to summon him at Zhao Yunze's house, no matter what, this matter had something to do with Zhao Yunze.Besides, the emperor summoned his courtiers and did not borrow the example of another courtier's house, which also shows the weight of this lieutenant Yi Lu in the emperor's heart, and it is not wrong to have a good relationship with him.Zhao Yunze no longer argued, but said, "Lord Fang, let's calm down and adjust your mentality, and wait for Your Majesty to come." ”"What Brother Zhao said is very true."
Fang Zhi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead because of excitement, and sat back down."
Brother Zhao, don't call me an adult again, if you don't dislike it, how can you and my brother be commensurate" "So very good" Zhao Yunze nodded.Since Fang Zhi will be his subordinate in the future, it is also good to get closer to the relationship now.At this moment, Yan Liben also arrived.Fang Zhi is very familiar with the history of the former Jingzhou Road marching chief.When he went to Jingyang to report the news, it was Yan Liben who arranged for the military medical officer to treat his injuries, and there were many conversations between the two.As soon as he saw Yan Liben coming, Fang Zhi hurriedly got up and saluted.After sitting down, Yan Liben said to Zhao Yunze: "Yunze, if you hadn't come to the door today, Yan wouldn't have known that you also lived in Yankangfang.In the future, the two of us will be neighbors, and we will have to move around more in our spare time" Zhao Yunze said with a smile: "Brother Yan, you and I will not only be neighbors in the future, but also work together in a yamen." ”"Oh, has Your Majesty arranged Brother Zhao's ministry" Yan Liben understood and hurriedly asked curiously.Zhao Yunze nodded and said, "Tonight, Your Majesty came to my house for dinner is fake, and it is true that you and I have an explanation." ”"Does Fang also want to work with Brother Zhao and Lord Yan" Fang Zhi heard the sound of Zhao Yunze's words, and hurriedly asked.Zhao Yunze nodded again."
I don't know how Your Majesty sent Fang," Fang Zhi asked anxiously.Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "This matter is still confidential, and I can only point it out."
It's better to wait for His Majesty to come, and let him explain it to the two of you. ”Seeing that Zhao Yunze said so cautiously, Fang Zhi didn't want to ask too much.Yan Liben was smiling, as if he had guessed a few clues.The three of them chatted for a while, and the topics they talked about were basically some things about the Battle of Jingyang, and the three of them had a common language on this topic.When it was about to get dark, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the door."
Your Majesty is here."
After Zhao Yunze reminded him, he and Yan Liben and Fang Zhi hurriedly got up and walked towards the gate."
Hahahaha, Zhao boy, I'm looking for you to drink" Cheng bit the golden sound to the people, and first stepped into the gate of Zhao Yunze's house."
General Cheng, why are you here" Seeing Cheng biting Jin, Zhao Yunze was surprised.Without waiting for Cheng to speak, Li Shimin's voice sounded: "This rammer, I heard that I am coming to Yunze here, and I brought him with me with my dead face" Before the words fell, Li Shimin also walked into the courtyard.Behind him, a woman in white followed.Whether it is Cheng Yanjin or Li Shimin, they are all dressed in casual clothes at this time, only wearing an ordinary robe.As for the woman, she was dressed in plain clothes, and she didn't even have any ornaments on her body.Seeing Li Shimin coming in, Zhao Yunze, Yan Liben, and Fang Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "It's not above the court, so you don't have to stick to these vulgar rituals." ”After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Zhao Yunze with a smile, pointed to the woman in white behind him and said, "Yunze, come, accompany Miss Mo'er." ”When Zhao Yunze saw the woman in white, he was immediately dumbfounded.Isn't this the woman I saw when I was drunk that day, why did she come with Li Shimin?"
was still stunned, but it offended Miss Mo'er severely. ”Li Shimin laughed playfully.Although Zhao Yunze was very curious about the identity of this Miss Mo'er at this time, since Li Shimin asked him to come forward to apologize, he had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, and stepped forward to salute the woman: "Miss Mo'er, Zhao was drunk that day, and if his words were offensive, please Miss Duo Haihan." ”"Hmph" Qin Mo'er snorted coldly, turned her head, and didn't even look at Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze was extremely embarrassed."
Hahahaha, the affairs of the children's family are really interesting," Cheng Yanjin laughed as he watched the excitement on the sidelines.Li Shimin glared at him fiercely, and Cheng Biting Jin's laughter was suddenly cut off."
You are Fang Zhi," Li Shimin looked at Fang Zhi and asked with a smile.His change of topic also relieved Zhao Yunze."
Minister Fang Zhi, I have seen Your Majesty" Fang Zhi hurriedly paid homage to Li Shimin."
Fang Aiqing doesn't have to be polite."
Li Shimin stretched out his hand and lifted it falsely.Fang Zhi stood up, but still bowed to Li Shimin."
Fang Zhi, I transferred you to Zhao Yunze's subordinate to assist him, are you willing?"
asked Li Shimin Zhengse.Fang Zhi was slightly surprised, and then replied solemnly: "The minister is subject to His Majesty's arrangement." ”Li Shimin nodded and said, "I don't care about the ministry, but I am loyal to the king, I didn't misunderstand you." ”After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Zhao Yunze again: "I don't know what you plan to eat tonight" "Your Majesty, the minister has prepared a hot pot." ”"What is hot pot," Li Shimin hurriedly asked curiously."
Shuchen will sell it first, and Your Majesty will know in a while."
Zhao Yunze said with a smile."
Okay, then I'll wait for you to uncover the mystery."
Li Shimin also laughed.No one noticed that when Zhao Yunze said the word "hot pot", Qin Mo'er, who was hiding behind Li Shimin, immediately turned bright and full of curiosity."
Liben, Yan Xiangong has been in good health recently," Li Shimin talked to Yan Liben again.Yan Li was originally a word, and his real name is no longer available.At this time, Li Shimin called him "Liben", which was actually his epigraph, which was also a manifestation of intimacy."
It's still the same, the back of the ears is terrible, and the mind is often confused, but the rest of the matter is fine."
Yan Liben replied.Li Shimin said with concern: "Tomorrow, I will send the imperial doctor to the palace to diagnose the pulse of Yan County's public examination, and prescribe a few medicines to recuperate." ”"Thank you, Your Majesty for your care," Yan Liben hurriedly thanked.Zhao Yunze nodded secretly while watching from the side, no wonder Li Shimin has countless loyal ministers and good generals, this love for the courtiers alone can move people's hearts.Whether he is sincere or intentional, at least, people are not pretentious at all on the surface, which makes people feel good."
Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, please also speak in the courtyard."
Zhao Yunze stepped forward and reminded.So, everyone walked into the courtyard together and came to the venue arranged by Zhao Yunze.Cheng Yanjin looked at the venue, and immediately became angry with Zhao Yunze: "Zhao boy, what kind of identity does Your Majesty have, how can you let Your Majesty eat in the courtyard and arrange it so rudely" Zhao Yunze only then remembered that the banquet held by the upper class people in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be in the hall, with a small table for each person, and they were eaten separately.But if you want to eat hot pot, it won't work to eat separately.Zhao Yunze had no choice but to explain: "I was going to invite Your Majesty and you to eat hot pot tonight.This hot pot, or such a way to eat, is not well thought out. ”Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's not a formal banquet, I can do it with the host."
In the past, when I was in the army, I didn't sit and eat with all the soldiers.Yun Ze's arrangement is quite agreeable. ”So the crowd took their seats.Cheng Yanjin slapped the table again: "Zhao boy, what do you mean you don't have a cup of tea" "Mistake" Zhao Yunze was embarrassed, quickly got up, and went into the house to get tea and tea sets.Tea leaves in this era were tea cakes made by fermentation, and when drinking, they were cooked in a tea stove and various spices and seasonings were added.Zhao Yunze is really not good at this, he usually drinks boiled water, so he forgot the etiquette of cooking tea and serving guests
