Wei Zheng was slightly taken aback when he heard that.
Li Shimin continued, "Speaking of which, Shuyu is about the same age as Chengqian, isn't he? I heard that you let him study Confucianism, and then he became a disciple of an eccentric? "
"I am guilty!"
Li Shimin waved his hand. "That's enough. There's no need for that here. Today, I brought some good wine. Let's talk while we drink?"
"As you wish!"
The two of them landed.
Wei Zheng hurriedly ordered people to gather the treasured dishes at home and cook some.
But Li Shimin looked at the things on the table and felt a little emotional.
It was too cold.
Was he his official?
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness in his heart.
"My dear official, do you know why I gave two decrees in a row?"
Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin personally pouring wine for him and hurriedly cupped his hands. "I don't know!"
"First, I hope you take care of your health. I don't want to hear that you fall ill one day. Second, it's time for Shuyu to train. On one hand, he can earn some money. On the other hand, my daughter …"
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Wei Zheng finally understood Li Shimin's intentions!
He was going to grant a marriage!
But …
Wei Zheng interrupted Li Shimin and immediately knelt down. "I'm afraid! How could my son deserve such a great favor? Your Majesty, please take back the decrees! "
Hearing that.
Li Shimin smacked his lips twice.
He didn't mention it again.
He knew Wei Zheng's temper. If he continued to talk, this stubborn donkey would definitely fight to the death.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin could only give up.
However, Li Shimin looked at the dishes on the table and asked, "My dear official, I remember that your monthly allowance is about ten thousand coins, right? Why are you … so short of money? "
He had seen poor people.
However, he had never seen anyone as poor as Wei Zheng.
At this time, he wanted to find Wei Zheng for a drink. He also wanted to see what Wei Zheng's daily life was like.
However, he never expected that after rummaging through his stomach, there would only be three dry goods on the table. A plate of dried bacon, a plate of dried tofu, and a plate of pickled vegetables!
From this, it could be seen how poor Wei Zheng's daily life was.
"Your Majesty, although my monthly salary is ten thousand coins, there have been a lot of people from the Long You Dao in Chang 'an City recently … so …"
"Alright, We understand. Didn't We send people to prepare porridge and make proper arrangements? Why did you … Forget it, I won't ask about this anymore. With Shuyu's help, you'll feel a little better. "
"Also, you're the Lord Protector Zheng of the Tang Dynasty. You're our face. Don't be so stingy when it comes to spending money. When it comes to providing relief to the disaster victims, just tell me in the future and I'll reimburse you! You must pay attention to your own image! If outsiders know about this, won't they say that I, Li Shimin, treat my loyal officials unfairly? "
When Li Shimin put the blame on him, Wei Zheng's expression suddenly changed.
He hurriedly knelt down. Li Shimin persuaded him in every possible way.
"Your Majesty! I'll remember it! "
Li Shimin took the initiative to change the topic again. He asked lightly, "My dear official! How many years has it been since we drank together like this? "
Wei Zheng pondered for a moment and then said, "Never!"
"Do you know why We're able to figure it out today?"
Wei Zheng shook his head in confusion.
Li Shimin continued, "Perhaps you should know about it."
As he spoke, Li Shimin raised his wine glass and clinked it with Wei Zheng's.
With the embarrassment of drinking in Taiji Palace last time, Wei Zheng was very careful this time, but he still choked on the wine.
After panting for a moment, he couldn't help but think of a person!
Zhang Feng!
The shopkeeper of the small tavern that He mentioned on the night of eating the worm pupa?
"Could it be that Your Majesty is talking about the shopkeeper of the small tavern, Zhang Feng?"
"That's right!"
Today, We were indeed extremely annoyed and secretly left the palace. Not only this time, but We've also gone out many times with Zhangsun and Yaojin! “
If you know, you'll definitely say that We're not doing our job properly. However, the one who dealt with the locust plague and talked about it, as well as the Turkic snow disaster and the layout of the surrounding areas, was this shopkeeper! "
"Buzz!"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but hear an explosion in his mind.
Although he had guessed before, he didn't expect that all of this was guessed by this shopkeeper of the marketplace!
This … How is this possible?!
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
Wei Zheng was shocked.
How could he not be shocked by such a thing?
To be able to predict the locust plague in Longyou and the situation in the surrounding areas … Even the spies they had planted all year round didn't know about these things. How …
How could a mere shopkeeper do this?
Looking at the shocked Wei Zheng, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel pleased.
At this moment, he finally understood how pleased Zhang Feng felt when Zhang Feng talked about this. He couldn't help but reveal everything to Wei Zheng.
Since he had chosen to believe in Wei Zheng, why not tell Wei Zheng everything in his heart?
This would show how magnanimous I am!
As time went by …
Four hours later, Li Shimin was drinking tea comfortably as he looked calmly at the confused Wei Zheng.
"My beloved subject! Do you know that leaving the palace this time is also the third thing that We want to talk about? "
"Your subject … doesn't know!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Shimin laughed heartily and then took out a bamboo tube from behind him as if it was a treasure. He said mysteriously, "My beloved subject, let me show you a treasure!"
"…"
