Chang 'an City, Taiji Palace.
After dealing with the drought and the plague of locusts, Li Shimin could finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Early this morning.
Li Shimin received news of victory from Longyou Dao. At this moment, he was playing Go with Empress Zhangsun.
However, although the drought in Longyou Dao had been resolved, Li Shimin still felt uneasy.
"Guanyin Maid, do you think this kind of publicity will make the people of Longyou Dao accept the cocoon?"
Li Shimin still could not let go of that matter.
If he messed it up, then everything would be over!
Guanyin Maid covered her mouth and smiled. "I think this is feasible!"
"Oh?"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up. "Why do you say that? You know that the people of Longyou Dao will not accept this thing. "
"Longyou Dao is suffering from a drought now, and the harvest is not good. Although the imperial court has distributed relief food, it is a drop in the bucket. Most of the time, these people are still starving!"
"Moreover, who in this world does not want to live forever? At this moment, with the Taoist priest, the Sorcerer, and His Majesty's soldiers spreading the news, who can resist such temptation? "
"This …"
"Hehe, maybe I am overthinking it!"
"With the Taoist priest and the Sorcerer helping, this will definitely work!"
Although Li Shimin was still a little worried, under the guidance of Empress Zhangsun, this matter was slowly put aside.
Empress Zhangsun continued, "At this moment, the people of Longyou Dao are not even full. This is a gift from the heavens. If His Majesty can eat it, why can't they? I can guarantee that these people will definitely fall in love with the cocoon! "
"Hahaha! Isn't that right? This thing is really as good as what Brother Zhang Feng said! This kidney nourishment function is really better than the other tributes! Ever since I ate this thing! I feel like I have an inexhaustible amount of energy! "
Empress Zhangsun blushed and glared at Li Shimin. But in the next moment, she looked at Li Shimin's face and said gently, "Second brother, haven't you noticed? Your white hair is much less, and the wrinkles on your face have also lessened. "
Li Shimin was shocked.
He hurriedly got up and leaned against the bronze mirror to carefully examine it.
However, with a single glance, he made an incredible discovery.
The white hair on his head had really decreased by a lot. Moreover, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead had really disappeared by a lot. His entire person seemed to have become ten years younger!
"This … is really a gift from the heavens!"
Li Shimin excitedly cupped his fists towards the sky. He was so excited that he almost knelt down and prayed to the heavens!
"Men!"
Li Shimin excitedly waved his hand and said, "Pass on my decree …"
"Forget it, erm … pass on my decree. I want to hold a banquet and invite all the officials!"
Originally, he wanted to issue an edict to invite Zhang Feng.
In this matter, Zhang Feng had unintentionally helped him a lot!
Not only did he solve the drought and the plague of locusts, but he also solved his current physical condition!
Li Shimin was so excited that he wanted to hug Zhang Feng and kowtow to him right now. However, when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back. In the end, he could only turn it into a banquet for all the officials.
The time was really not right now!
He really wanted, desperately wanted, to go and tell Zhang Feng that he was Li Shimin right now.
However, he also knew that there were a lot of interests behind this matter. If Zhang Feng really entered the palace, then …
Forget it!
Forget it!
Let's talk about it in the future!
Li Shimin sighed.
He could only give up.
How could Zhangsun not see that Li Shimin was not right? However, he could not say anything. He could only sigh and remain silent.
After a while.
In the banquet hall of Taiji Palace.
At this moment, all the officials were sitting in the hall, discussing among themselves as they looked at the dazzling array of delicacies and the white marble plates that were covered.
"Lord Zhang, what … what exactly is on these plates?"
"I'm not sure! However, I've ordered that these are the ingredients that His Majesty has specially prepared. I heard that they are the key to solving the drought in Longyou Road! "
"Eh? My lords, look at Lord Wei Zheng, Lord Cheng, and Lord Fang. Why are they staring at the covered plates and swallowing their saliva? This … this is not proper! "
"Eh? That's true! "
Under the observation of an adult, everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin and the others and started to discuss among themselves.
"Did you notice something? These people seem to be much younger?"
"Hmm?"
"Nonsense! Don't even think about saying such ridiculous things in a place like this! "
The person who spoke earlier was anxious.
"Look! Lord Fang was trembling when he walked and his face was frighteningly pale. Look at him now, look at his complexion, this … "
Hearing this.
Everyone could see that something was wrong from these people's faces!
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's white beards had turned gray! There were even traces of black in their stubble!
Even the wrinkles on their faces had smoothened out a lot. Not only that, their complexions were also rosy.
Did they eat something very nutritious?
"I remember now. I've often heard that these lords' families would go out together to work in the fields. I wonder if this has something to do with it?"
"This …"
Everyone was aghast and even more puzzled.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin staring at the covered plates and scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, everyone was even more puzzled.
What exactly was on these plates?
Could this be the way to make them younger?
Everyone couldn't help but stop talking. They stared at the plate, as if they wanted to see what was under the red cloth!
However, now that the Emperor was here, no one dared to lift the red cloth to take a look. .
Just as everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously, a eunuch's announcement made everyone fall to their knees.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
