A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 146 The Decisive Battle at the Wei Bridge
When the prince is happy, reward him.

Reward a hundred pieces of silk.

Li Shimin patted Huaiyu's shoulder with satisfaction, then went back to Chang'an happily, and took away a hundred palm mines, saying that they were to be used for research by the hundred riders. Huaiyu kindly reminded that they must be handled with care , never near fire.

"Xu Luoren suffered from palm thunder last time, so he must have learned a lesson." The crown prince patted him on the shoulder again. These people always like to pat people on the shoulder, but unlike Cheng Yao, Jin Chaishao and others who patted shoulders like piling, Li Shimin patted his shoulders. It makes people feel kind.

Xu Jingzong stood on the side resentfully all the time, but unfortunately the crown prince didn't even look him in the eye, let alone photograph him. He was once specially invited by Li Shimin to be a bachelor in the Prince of Qin's residence, and he also sang poems and essays with his attendants. That was Li Shimin How polite and respectful to him, one by one Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu.

But now, she doesn't even bother to look at him, and despises him like a stinky sock that binds her feet.

Looking at the young boss Wu Huaiyu who was patted five times by the prince on the shoulder, he was really envious. Li Shimin used to like to slap people on the shoulder like piling, wishing to slap people into the ground, like Qin Qiong Cheng Yaojin Wu Fu is a character.

But then gradually corrected this problem, now it is not easy to pat people on the shoulder, but the prince can still pat on the shoulder, it is either the son of Qiandi's confidant, or the young underachiever he admires very much.

I took five shots.

Xu Jingzong wanted Wu Huaiyu to share it with himself.

There are countless military supervisors, officials and craftsmen, but the prince took Wu Huaiyu alone and five times.

Think about resentment, longing.

Even the shoulders are itchy!
Following the prince and his party back to Chang'an, Li Shimin kept Wu Huaiyu on his horse's side on the way, talking all the way.

······
Huaiyuan Square.

Huaiyu, who hadn't come back for three days, was taken by Wu Liushi to give a lecture as soon as he entered the door, asking him if he took advantage of his busy work and hid in Qujiang and never came back.

"Is it because Mrs. Fan won't let you touch the three of them?"

"Mom, it's nothing."

"That mother arranged for you to serve you, big and small, why did you go twice in a row and didn't touch any of them?"

"And since you came back, you haven't touched that girl Siqi?"

Wu Liu was very angry, her son was lost and recovered, and he was so promising, she shed tears many nights when she was happy, now she only hoped that her son could marry a wife and have children as soon as possible. I'm quite happy.

Later, he began to worry about gains and losses again, and tabooed the other party's reputation.

"I've been really busy recently, and I haven't stopped for a moment since I came back."

Wu Liushi stared at her son, "I don't care about that, no matter how busy you are, don't you have time to have a baby? Men are not women, and you have to conceive in October. You are just sowing seeds, and then you can ignore it. How much effort does it take to stick incense (5 minutes)?

It's your choice tonight, which one to pick. "

Being scolded by the old lady like this, Huaiyu felt a little shameless, but felt that she seemed to have exposed something. Old Wu looked very strong, so he was a stick of incense?Do I have to get some deer blood from the samurai in the future to make up for the old Wu?
"Mother, I have received a new crown prince's order. I have to send military supplies to Xianyang Yi Guogong's military camp tomorrow morning. I have to rest early tonight, and I have to hurry tomorrow morning."

"Damn it," the old lady scolded angrily.

Talking about hitting him.

Huaiyu had no choice but to beg for mercy, "Or, let Siqi come."

"Okay, you pick it yourself. I'm going to ask Siqi about it tomorrow morning. If you fool your old lady again, I'll go back to Sanyuan. From now on, my old lady won't ask about your affairs."

It was not easy for Wu Liushi to calm down.

The eldest sister is very beautiful today, wearing a brand new dress, with a golden hairpin on her head, her face is full of red,
"Dalang Erlang, today my sister made crab roe Biluo. The red female crab is used. The yellow red paste in the shell is as good as chicken yellow. This crab is a tribute from Jianghuai, and the crown prince specially rewarded King Bin with a cage."

The elder sister's hands are always so skillful.

Biluo made with crab roe is delicate and beautiful.

Bi Luo's gourmet food was introduced from Persia. It is usually a thin-skinned snack with stuffing. The stuffing inside can be meat or vegetables, and the skin is thin and transparent. It is fried and eaten.

After it was passed to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people improved it and made it more colorful. It can be fried or steamed, and the fillings are more abundant. Just like this crab roe Biluo, it is a feature around the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the cherries are ripe in May, Chang'an noble families It is also popular to eat cherry biro.

The dignified family and nobles will also hold a cherry biluo banquet, which is specially made with cherries bestowed by the emperor in the palace, and then entertain the guests to show the favor they have received.

Of course, ordinary people also eat Biluo, but the stuffing inside is often vegetables, even wild vegetables, such as bitter Biluo is quite famous.

"Try it quickly."

Women who are in love are always full of happiness. The eldest sister is the happiest moment recently. She fell into a passionate love. Ma Zhou gave the key to the house of more than 2000 yuan in Xuanyangfang to the eldest sister, and asked her to be responsible for the decoration of the house before moving in. .

The eldest sister runs there every day, adding things to the house and decorating her own wedding room. Ma Zhou treats her very well, even though she is not married yet, she has already handed over all the money in her hands to Yu'e to take care of it.

Seeing how happy the eldest sister was, Huaiyu felt that she had done the right thing when she proposed marriage to Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou helped him when he was down and down, but now that he is rich, he has not changed. This man is indeed worthy of deep friendship. It is no wonder that he can go straight from a down and out scholar to a prime minister. If his character is not good, Li Shimin will not reuse him like this.

The crab roe bilo is delicious.

In August, the crab meat cream is fat, and the crab roe is fried, steamed, and grilled, and the flavors are different.

The eldest sister also made a five-birth plate.

This is also a high-end dish, using five delicious ingredients, such as beef, sheep, fish, shrimp and deer, etc., cut into very thin slices, put them on a plate, and then decorate with coriander, green onion, ginger, etc., and then boil the oil , also known as Podson.

If you cook another bowl of noodles, put the noodles on the bottom, pour in the pre-cooked bone broth, put fresh noodles on the noodles, and then pour oil, it will become raw noodles.

This dish pays attention to the freshness of the ingredients, and the boiling oil is splashed to stimulate the aroma, while ensuring the freshness of the ingredients.

It's a bit like splashing oil on the back of boiled fish.

But raw food cannot be boiled in a pot, so it should be cut thinner and more tender to eat.

Today, fresh shrimp and fish are used in Shengpo, as well as fresh mutton, which are all sent by Ma Zhou. It is indeed a bowl of fresh food.

Eating crystal clear steamed crab roe Bi Luo, and a bowl of raw three fresh noodles, Huaiyu felt extravagant. Compared with the eight-course pig-killing dishes he made in Qujiang today, it was far worse.

Whoever said that people in Tang Dynasty don't have delicious food, it's because I didn't have much contact with them before.

Ma Zhou is very busy now. He follows Li Shimin all day long, and he is also busy with the affairs of Yushitai. He no longer concurrently serves as the governor of the right guard of the Eastern Palace. He has even been able to discuss state affairs with Fang Du and others.

The crown prince was very satisfied with him, and he continued to reward him with various rewards. Even if he tributed some good things, he would reward him with points for weeks.

In the Wu family's small house in Huaiyuanfang, there is the first Zijin boss.

Tomorrow everyone has another mission, so it's very rare to get together in the courtyard tonight. After Ma Zhou moves to a new house, it may be even more difficult to get together like this.

"How is the decoration of the house in Xuanyangfang?"

"It's all managed by E Niang. It's already done well and can be moved there at any time."

"When will you move?"

"After His Highness ascends the throne."

Li Shimin officially ascended the throne on the ninth day of August. Today is the fourth day of the lunar month, and it will be only a few days.

"Go to Xianyang and pay attention to safety." Ma Zhou reminded Huaiyu.

The last time Huaiyu and the others returned to Chang'an from Longzhou, they encountered several groups of Turkic rangers on the south bank of the Weishui River. The slaves and caravans they left behind before are still detours and have not yet arrived. Chang'an.

"I guess there will be a big battle in Xianyang soon. You must be more careful and go back early. You are now the envoy of Qianqi Battalion and the order of Shenjifang, and your responsibility is in Chang'an." Ma Zhou said seriously.

"Oh?"

Ma Zhou obviously knew a lot of the latest military information. He thought about it and revealed something, "Jieli is still stationed in Wugong 140 Li West of Chang'an, but he has already sent a large force to Weiqiao in Xianyang. It seems that They want to seize the West Wei Bridge and go deep into the south bank of the Weihe River, and even plant the wolf flag outside Chang'an City."

"Jieli wants to fight the imperial court at Weiqiao? Isn't that wise?"

"There will definitely be a fight." Ma Zhou said, "Jieli sent an envoy to Beijing, saying he was asking for peace, but in fact he was threatening him. He made many excessive demands, including asking His Majesty to send the princess and relative Xieli, and other things like Ceded both Lingzhou and Shuozhou to the Turks, and paid tribute of money and silk every year, etc."

It was impossible for Li Shimin to agree to these unreasonable demands, and Xieli was naturally unwilling to retreat like this. The Turkic cavalry was divided into multiple groups, and they had already gone to Binzhou and Jingyang all the way, intending to take Binzhou and flatten Jingyang.

There is still a way to go to the Gaoling area in the east of Chang'an, which means looting the entire Weibei, and even outflanking Chang'an City.

Among them, there are more people on the road to Xianyang. Jieli wanted to seize the Wei Bridge and forced his soldiers to go to Chang'an.

The Turks will definitely not really attack Chang'an City, but if they can cross the Wei Bridge and reach the city of Chang'an, they will have more bargaining chips in their hands when negotiating, and they can force the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty to agree to their unreasonable demands.

Huaiyu called Huaiyi who was bragging with Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianwu, and Wu Junya, "Be careful when you go to Jingyang."

Huaiyi obviously didn't care too much. It could be seen that he even looked forward to meeting the Turkic soldiers. Although he replaced his father in the Forbidden Army at the beginning of this year, he encountered the Xuanwumen Palace Change in the second time in June. He won the rank of ninth rank and was awarded Baiqi, but he went to Longyou, and when he came back, he became a special general of sixth rank, which was only one step away from Feipao.

But seeing that Ma Zhou is now golden and purple, and Chu Mo and Huaiyu are also turning silver, Huaiyi is still under a lot of pressure. He doesn't look like Wu Junya. After ten years as an official, he only fell from the eighth rank It doesn't matter if he joins the army, anyway, he just eats and waits to die in style, just wait for his father to die of exhaustion on the belly of his concubine one day, and he can easily inherit the title and the large family fortune his father saved.

"Brother, you go to Jingyang, go back early, and when you come back, go to the Sanyuan Dragon Bridge and persuade Aye to let him come back to Chang'an first, and say that there are many good things going on in our family, and the eldest sister is going to be engaged to Mr. Ma , I want to be engaged to Duke Rong's mansion, and you also want to propose marriage to Duke Su's mansion, he has to come to Chang'an to preside over these good things in person."
