Chapter 396
"Your Majesty, I congratulate you!" Empress Changsun bowed to Li Shimin and congratulated him, then smiled and looked at him and said:
"In the future, the Tang Dynasty will have more cotton and can make more cotton-padded clothes and quilts."
Then, Empress Changsun pretended to be profound and asked: "Your Majesty, who do you think has made the greatest contribution to this matter?"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, who has made the greatest contribution?
Without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, Empress Changsun bowed again, turned around and left without taking a cloud.
Only left Li Shimin with an unfathomable figure.
Li Shimin felt puzzled and looked at Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others for answers.
"Haha! Your Majesty, if we talk about the contribution of this matter, Atana can only be considered the third at best." Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and smiled.
"Oh! Fu Ji, tell me in detail!" Li Shimin sat down slowly.
"Your Majesty, where did the foreign caravan come from? Who led it?" Fang Xuanling reminded Li Shimin.
"The caravan followed the advice of Su Chen, the prince... you mean...?"
Li Shimin reacted before he finished speaking. After thinking carefully, Su Chen was indeed the one who made the most contributions.
But...
"Humph! That kid has made few contributions? Enough for him to be beheaded several times!" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and scolding after thinking it through.
If an ordinary person could have one or two of Su Chen's contributions, he would be enough to be beheaded several times.
Because every time the emperor had no more titles to offer to a minister, the minister would most likely not have a good ending.
As for the contributions of Prince Li Chengqian... what contributions does the prince want!
"Hahaha... Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone laughed.
Not long after, Du Ruhui arranged for people to go to Ganzhou to meet the envoys from the Western Regions and returned to the side hall.
"Your Majesty, I have arranged everything!"
Li Shimin nodded and looked at the sheepskin letter in his hand, "Old King, send someone to deliver this letter to the manor and give it to that kid."
"Yes!"
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and smiled cunningly.
"Your Majesty, today is the weekend, you see..."
The meaning is self-evident, who doesn't want to skip work? It's the same in every dynasty.
Li Shimin stretched his neck and frowned, not understanding it for a while.
After a few breaths, Li Shimin understood, "Haha, well! Old King, go to Lizheng Hall to inform the queen to meet at Zhuque Gate."
The old king understood Li Shimin's meaning, put down the sheepskin letter, and went to Lizheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, I will go back to the department to explain, and then wait for Your Majesty at Zhuque Gate." Changsun Wuji stood up and saluted.
Li Shimin nodded.
In the past six months, each of them has prepared a set of casual clothes in the office, ready to leave the palace at any time.
After Fang Xuanling and others left, Li Shimin began to study how to deal with the 1,000 cattle and sheep.
"Haha, that kid once said that I don't allow the people to eat beef.
This time I'll let you eat as much as you want. If you can't eat ten pounds of beef, I'll hang him up and whip him."
Li Shimin said proudly.
...
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
"Su Chen, did you catch a cold?" Li Chengqian asked with concern.
Su Chen rubbed his nose, "No, it's probably some girl... hurry up and play your cards!" Halfway through the words, he found that Princess Changle was looking at him, and hurriedly changed his words.
After lunch, Su Chen and the other two were playing Landlord, and Li Tai, the nerd, was reading a book.
Jin'er and the three little guys were playing checkers, and the scene was so warm.
The landlord game lasted for almost an hour, and Princess Changle really couldn't hold on any longer. Su Chen and Li Chengqian played cards of poor quality.
"No more playing, you are too shameless, give me money!"
Princess Changle stretched out her hands and asked Su Chen and Li Chengqian for the gambling debt.
At this time, Changsun Yao and Fang Jingyi also came to the living room.
Seeing that Su Chen and the others did not have the posture to pay, Princess Changle snorted and walked towards Changsun Yao and the others.
"Oh! Princess, are you angry because you lost money?" Changsun Yao teased Princess Changle.
"Will this lady lose? They can't afford to lose and still cheat."
No matter how thick-skinned Su Chen and Li Chengqian were, they felt a little embarrassed and secretly decided that it would be better not to cheat too obviously in the future.
The two guys smiled awkwardly and dealt with it.
"Brother-in-law, when are we going to eat hot and sour noodles?" Xiao Sizi ran to Su Chen and asked after Su Chen and the others finished playing landlord.
She heard that there was hot and sour noodles at lunch, so she deliberately ate less.
Although she didn't know what hot and sour noodles were.
"Little Sizi, hot and sour noodles want..."
Suddenly, Li Shimin's voice was heard from outside the living room.
"Boy, I'm here, why don't you kneel down to greet me?"
Except Su Chen, everyone else stood up to welcome Li Shimin.
Hearing the voice, Li Chengqian quickly hid the poker cards and said to himself:'Fortunately, I didn't let my father see me playing cards! '
Su Chen's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he whispered: "Oh, it's like singing an opera!" He slowly stood up and walked out of the living room, because Su Chen saw that Empress Changsun and the others had also come.
That's right, when the old king went to inform Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang and the others were knitting with Empress Changsun.
"Your Majesty!" Jin'er and Fang Jingyi greeted him normally.
"Father!"
Li Shimin walked with the wind, nodded slightly in response to everyone, and walked straight to Su Chen.
"Boy, today I have a delicious food to share with you!"
Su Chen was not moved at all, and vaguely remembered the delicious food that Li Shimin shared with him for the first time: 'baked sweet potatoes'.
"Then thank you first!" Su Chen didn't show it on his face, and thanked politely.
"Huh? You kid don't believe me?" Li Shimin didn't feel Su Chen's surprise expression and questioned.
"I believe in your majesty in principle. I wonder what delicacies you have for me?" Su Chen said with a calm but polite smile.
"Five hundred yaks and five hundred fat grassland sheep, can they be considered delicacies?" Li Shimin said proudly.
"Really? Thank you so much, your majesty!
Wang Xi, quickly arrange for someone to properly place the cattle and sheep sent by your majesty." Su Chen was really excited at this time, and hurriedly ordered Wang Xi to take action.
"Wait!" Li Shimin hurriedly stopped him, now there was a hairy cattle and sheep.
"Your majesty, you are..." Su Chen was puzzled.
"Uh, boy, the cattle and sheep have not arrived in Chang'an yet, you take a look." Li Shimin handed the Western Regions letter to Su Chen.
Empress Changsun tried to hold back her smile.
Su Chen took the sheepskin letter, glanced at Li Shimin and then at Empress Changsun.
Li Shimin raised his hand to signal Su Chen to read the letter.
Su Chen looked at the contents of the letter with doubt, "Fuck, who wrote this? It's worse than mine!"
"Haha."
Li Shimin smiled and didn't answer.
After a few seconds, Su Chen finished reading the parchment letter. Although the handwriting was sloppy, he could recognize the words.
Su Chen also understood that he would have to wait for more than half a month to eat a bite of beef.
"Your Majesty, your delicacy is a bit far away. It seems that I will not be able to enjoy it in a short time." Su Chen was a little discouraged and returned the parchment letter to Li Shimin.
As for the other contents of the letter, Su Chen didn't care, only capable people could deal with it.
"You kid are not excited at all about the letter sent from the Western Regions?"
