Chapter 89: The murderous blacksmith

Tai Chi Hall.

Li Er and the ministers all cast their eyes on Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan felt a lot of pressure. To persuade Li Er, he had to think of a

dignified reason, but he couldn't be as vague as before in front of Cheng

Chumo.

Li Zexuan quickly searched for all kinds of suitable reasons in his mind, and

suddenly had an idea, he stepped forward and replied:

"In response to your Majesty, there are two main reasons why the kid bought

such a huge amount of chicken fry:

First, the boy saw that my farmer was living in poverty, and he couldn't even

eat two meals a year. The children in the village might not have new clothes

to wear during the New Year. The boy provided chicken seedlings for the farmer

to reduce the farmer’s annual rent. Let the farmers help me raise chickens,

and the eggs produced by the chickens can subsidize the farmers' household and

improve their lives.

Secondly, a drunk fairy building was opened in the boy's house, and the gnawed

chicken was launched a month ago. It is very popular among the people of

Chang'an, and all the ministers must be aware of it. Next year, the kid plans

to introduce 128 dishes with chicken as the main dish in Zuixianlou.

Including braised chicken, chicken stewed with mushrooms, chicken, roast

chicken, hibiscus chicken, colorful chicken shreds, crispy chicken, spicy

chicken, kung pao chicken, boiled chicken, grilled chicken wings, fried

chicken nuggets, salt baked Chicken, Concubine Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken

Nuggets, Three Cup Chicken Wings, Honey Ginger Chicken, Apple Pineapple

Chicken, Hundred Flower Phoenix Wings, White Cut Chicken, Shredded Chicken,

Cold Chicken Shredded Chicken, Chicken Skewers, Hot Plate Chicken, Chicken

Ding fried flower rice and so on. "

Li Zexuan quickly showed off the name of the fancy dish.

The veterans such as Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and Yu Chigong were straight-

eyed when they listened. Although they have not eaten them, they all have a

bit of tongue when just listening to the names of these dishes. Especially

some generals who did not eat breakfast, it is almost noon now. Before he left

the court, he was hungry right now. Hearing Li Zexuan's fancy name of the

dish, he stood in place and swallowed.

The ranks of civilian officials are not much better, and there are many

foodies among them. Upon hearing the names of these unheard of dishes, these

officials closed their eyes and wondered how delicious these dishes are.

Suddenly, the sound of swallowing saliva was almost all in the hall.

Li Er was also a bit hungry by what Li Zexuan said, but his sanity was still

sober. At this moment, he frowned and asked, "Li Zexuan, if you want to

introduce these famous dishes, you can go to the East Market to buy chicken

directly. Want to spend so much time raising chickens yourself?"

Li Zexuan had already prepared, and replied: "My Majesty, the dishes that the

kid said have higher requirements for chicken quality. I used to circle a very

large chicken farm on the back mountain of my Zhuangzi, and Xiaomin bought

these. Chicken fry will be stocked on this mountain, allowing them to feed on

the grass, insects and rice bran on the mountain.

Compared with the domestic chickens raised by the farmers themselves, these

free-range chickens on the mountain are lively and active, and have better

flying ability. This will result in free-range chickens with compact muscle

structure, less oil, mouth flavour, better nutrition and better taste. "

In fact, Li Zexuan didn't say in his heart that free-range chickens have a

stronger flying ability, and the efficiency of catching locusts will naturally

be higher.

Where did Li Er raise chickens? I was stunned by Li Zexuan's theory. At the

end, he suspiciously said: "This free-range chicken is really as good as you

said?"

Li Zexuan still has this grasp of him. He nodded and said: "Back to your

Majesty, it is absolutely true."

Cheng Yaojin swallowed at this time, and stepped forward to help him: "Your

Majesty, I can testify to this matter. When the old minister was still in

Wagangzhai, he once caught several homes that had escaped from the villagers'

houses in the mountains. Chicken, those chicken wings are significantly

longer, and the chicken tastes better."

Li Er nodded and said, "Well, Li Zexuan, you have passed the first level.

Then, how do you explain Wei Aiqing's impeachment of you?"

For Wei Zheng, Li Zexuan first heard about it from Han Yuxi. He heard that he

is a good wine and is also a master brewer. On the other hand, Wei Zheng and

Li Er also circulated a lot of tales of emperors and ministers, and they

eventually became a generation of famous figures and ranked among Lingyan

Pavilion.

Li Zexuan did not expect to meet Wei Zheng for the first time, but he would be

sprayed by the biggest spray of the Tang Dynasty. He turned around depressed,

looked at the line of ministers, and wanted to ask which was Wei Zheng.

"No need to ask, the old man is Wei Zheng, the sentence impeached by this

official is true, what do you want to say?"

Wei Zheng saw Li Zexuan's gaze swept back at the civil servants again, knowing

that he was looking for himself, and without waiting for Li Zexuan to ask, he

walked out directly, as the number one in the Tang Dynasty, has he ever been

afraid of anyone?

Li Zexuan respectfully saluted: "The kid has seen Wei Zuocheng, the kid has a

question, I wonder if Wei Zuocheng can help the kid?"

"what is the problem?"

"There is a blacksmith shop where the kitchen knives made are extremely sharp,

and the world is not peaceful. Many desperadoes use this kitchen knife to do

some murderous activities. May I ask Wei Zuocheng, should the government

punish the murderer or the blacksmith? ?"

Li Zexuan told Wei Zheng a story about murder or selling a knife.

Wei Zheng answered, "Of course the murderer should be punished... Uh."

Before he finished speaking, his reaction was wrong.

Li Zexuan refused to give him a chance to change his mouth, and smiled:

"Wei Zuocheng said it well. The same reasoning applies to the scooter. Why

should Wei Zuocheng have to punish the kid? Children playing on the scooter

may be dangerous and may disrupt the order of the city~www.mtlnovel.com~ but

Wei Zuocheng shouldn't formulate relevant laws to limit the use of scooters.

How can he trouble the kid?"

Wei Zheng was speechless for a while, and couldn't think of any good excuses

to refute.

This kid is interesting. At this time, Changsun Wuji had an inexplicable smile

at the corner of his mouth. He stepped forward and bowed to Li Er and said,

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks Li Zexuan's words are reasonable, and

Qiqu Pavilion should be innocent."

"The minister seconded."

"The minister seconded."

All of a sudden, the ministers of Changsun Wuji's camp agreed.

Qiqu Pavilion has 30% of the prince’s stock, which Li Chengqian mentioned to

Changsun Wuji many times before. At present, Changsun Wuji is the most

steadfast princeling. Although Qiquge is irrelevant to the foundation of the

prince, if Wei Zheng said that Qiquge should be sealed, it will more or less

damage the prince’s reputation.

Of course, Changsun Wuji will never go to be a vanguard to charge, he only

needs to complete the last fill-up when the situation is clear.

Li Er nodded. He didn't take these trivial matters to his heart, and took them

out separately, just to give Wei Zheng a face and avoid burning himself.

Unexpectedly, Li Zexuan would be able to reverse the situation. This kid is

quite witty.

Of course, Li Er felt a little dark in his heart when he saw Wei Zheng

deflated. He endured a smile and said, "In this case, Li Zexuan is innocent!"

Li Zexuan hurriedly bowed to thank you: "Thank you, my lord!"

At this time, Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Changsun Wuji

and didn't know why this person wanted to help him. He turned around and asked

Cheng Yaojin. The water in the court was really deep, and Li Zexuan felt a

little tired at the moment. As expected, he was not suitable for this intrigue

officialdom.
