The court meeting was basically about the current affairs. But now, except for the food shortage after the end of the locust plague in the Tang Dynasty, there was basically nothing major.
Fang Xuanling also explained the source of the beer to everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but shut their mouths in the end.
After chatting for half an hour, Li Shimin waved his hand under the hint of the little eunuch and said, "Everyone, the court is dismissed. Let's go to the Vermilion Bird Bridge to have a look. Today, I specially set up a surprise on the Vermilion Bird Bridge as a reward. But you have to pay for the food!"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly kowtowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Her Majesty the Empress is here!"
At this time.
Zhangsun Wu Gou, dressed in court clothes, slowly appeared at the entrance of the Political Announcement Hall with a long phoenix wing cloak.
Seeing this, all the officials hurriedly kowtowed again.
"Welcome, Your Majesty the Empress!"
Although they kowtowed, everyone couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
What day is it today? The Empress actually came out in person? And she even wore a phoenix robe that she hadn't worn for a long time?
What's going on?
"Rise!"
Zhangsun Wu Gou didn't enter the Political Announcement Hall. Instead, she opened the door and waited for Li Shimin.
Li Shimin waved his sleeves and went out of the Political Announcement Hall. He supported Zhangsun Wu Gou and walked slowly with the officials to the Vermilion Bird Bridge.
"Your Majesty, I heard from Shuyu and Qian 'er yesterday that you and Father drank something extraordinary in the back garden?"
"Yes, but don't drink it later. If you want to drink it, wait until we return to the palace."
"Why?"
"This … you'll know later."
Li Shimin made a riddle. Zhangsun Wu Gou rolled her eyes.
"Old Fang, you hid it well. Why didn't you tell us such a good thing?"
On the way, Cheng Yaojin and others began to complain about Fang Xuanling again.
Fang Xuanling followed closely with his hands behind his back as if he didn't hear it.
"Look, the answer is here. What did the Old Man say? Isn't it all here? "
While Fang Xuanling was speaking, they smelled the scent of cumin and the aroma of meat. They couldn't help but look at the Vermillion Bird Bridge in disbelief.
Both sides of the Vermillion Bird Bridge were filled with stalls that they couldn't understand.
In these stalls, people dressed in imperial chef's clothing were handcuffing skewers of meat over the stove.
But aren't these skewers a little too small?
"Everyone, please begin!"
Li Shimin waved his hand.
Everyone on the Vermillion Bird Bridge uniformly knelt on the ground.
"Welcome, Your Majesty and Empress!"
"Rise! Do whatever you need to do, now! "
"Yes!"
As Li Shimin's voice fell, the fat imperial chef rolled his eyes and shouted, "Roast chicken wings! High-grade roasted chicken wings! "
Hearing this, what else could all the imperial chefs wait?
Now all the heads of the Imperial Kitchen were arrested. Now only the fat imperial chef was left. He was the roaster personally appointed by the Emperor, and he was also from the same hometown as the head of the Internal Servants Department. What did they dare to say?
One after another, they followed the fat imperial chef's appearance and shouted like the peddlers in the poetry anthology on the street.
But Li Shimin's trick really came from Zhang Feng's essence.
This was the first time he had done such an unusual experiment in the almost a year he had been in contact with Zhang Feng.
On the one hand, he wanted to let the Empress and the imperial harem who didn't often go out of the palace experience it. However, he had a more important plan, which was to increase the popularity of this empty palace.
There was an east market and a west market in Chang 'an City. Then, should there be one in the palace? In this way, there would be a place for the running water in the palace. Otherwise, there would be problems if they were always stuck in the palace. For example, those imperial concubines and those who could not often go out of the palace. In fact, to put it bluntly, he wanted to make a small market for Li Yuan. Otherwise, how could his body stand soaking at the card table all day long?
Chang 'an City didn't dare to let him go out often.
However, making a market was just a matter of waving his hand for Li Shimin.
This experience for the princes and princesses could be handed over to the people of the Ministry of Works to carry out.
"How much is this roast lamb?"
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin's loud voice pulled Li Shimin back to reality.
"General Cheng, this is three copper coins for a skewer!"
"Okay, give me thirty skewers!"
While speaking, Cheng Yaojin grabbed a big handful and gnawed while sitting on the chair to eat and drink.
On the one hand, no one dared to do this now. However, what was Cheng Yaojin afraid of?
Yesterday, he drank so much with the Emperor. Now that no one was doing it, why didn't he take the lead?
With him taking the lead, Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others also found a stall and sat there to eat and drink.
When the ministers saw that the Guogong had taken action, they couldn't help but go forward to buy things.
Although the amount of this thing was small, after more than two hours of court assembly, coupled with the fact that they woke up before dawn to go to court, everyone was hungry to the point of dizziness.
"Old Man, give me thirty skewers of lard. I want the fatter ones!"
"I want the pig's tail. Yes, and the pig's ears!"
"Here, this is one tael of silver. Take a look!"
"How much are the chicken wings?"
"…"
