The two sides weren't discussing at all. They were completely scolding each other. When they were in the midst of scolding, some vulgarities were even casually spat out!
The guards on duty in the hall were already used to it. Every time there was a dispute, both sides would quarrel!
Whoever had the loudest voice and the most words would be in the right. In the past, it was usually the civil officials who had the upper hand every time. However, this time, it was a strange situation where they were evenly matched!
There were civil officials and generals on both sides of the sweet party and salty party. Those who could express their opinions loudly in this hall were those big shots. Of course, no one was afraid of the other!
"Alright, stop arguing. Are you guys discussing? He had turned the imperial court into a foul atmosphere!”Li Shi Min slammed the table and scolded everyone.
His gaze was sharp, and he was focused on Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Fang Xuanling, and the others. These few people had the loudest voices!
It was normal for Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong to have loud voices as generals, but Li Shiming had not expected Fang Xuanling to have such a loud voice when he was mumbling!
In the past, Fang Xuanling had always been gentle and gentle when he spoke and handled matters. He was a typical scholar. He didn't expect that this time, because of the tofu pudding dispute, his true nature would be exposed!
So it was all an act in the past!
The few people who were glared at looked down, as if it had nothing to do with them, pretending that nothing had happened!
They were all old foxes, and they were familiar with Li Shiming. They knew that they wouldn't care about such a small matter, which made him feel at ease.
The bickering between officials or the lack of contact were all situations that the higher-ups liked to see the most!
If one day all the ministers were to stand on the same side, the Emperor would be nervous!
Of course, although there was a reason for this, the root cause was still the tofu pudding. It was to protect his position!
"Your Majesty, why don't you give a conclusion? We'll listen to you!”Cheng Yaojin winked at Li Shimin.
He signaled for them to stand together with his old brothers, hoping that he could make an exception.
"Yes, Your Majesty. As the Son of Heaven, your will is the will of the heavens.”At this moment, Wei Zheng also went forward to pay his respects!
He didn't wink like Cheng Yaojin. Instead, he put on a straight face, as if everyone owed him money!
This was Wei Zheng's brilliance. If you cheated, you could make an exception for Cheng Yaojin today, and he could make an exception for Li Shimin tomorrow!
What about Li Shimin?
As a ruler, you should be treated equally. Are you sure you can do it?
The reason was quite high and no one could find anything wrong with it. This was also one of the reasons why Wei Zheng could advise countless people and even dared to involve the emperor. It was because he stood on the side of righteousness and was assisting the other party to become a wise ruler!
"We are stupid. Please judge us, Your Majesty!”
The rest of the ministers also followed suit.
They would probably not be able to come to a conclusion even if they argued for ten days to half a month. It was better to throw the ball to the emperor!
No matter what conclusion Li Shimin made, they would accept it, but the next time they bought it, they would still buy their favorite sweet (salty) tofu pudding!
Li Shiming was stunned by this. They couldn't come up with a conclusion. What was the point of looking for him?
Although he had tasted both the salty and sweet dishes, he couldn't tell which one was better!
How could the two delicacies be distinguished?
Li Shi Min felt a headache coming on. He suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice,"I can't tell whether the tofu pudding is good or bad, but I can find the person who made it to judge!”
"The person who did it must know better than you and I about the quality of the savory and sweet tofu pudding!”
Since Yang Xuan had made such a delicacy and caused the ministers to argue, how could nothing happen?
He could just kick the ball to Yang Xuan. No matter whether it was good or bad, it represented Yang Xuan's personal opinion and had nothing to do with him!
"Right, letting that Shopkeeper Yang judge for us is the fairest!”
"Shopkeeper Yang is a person who knows better than us about the quality of savory and sweet tofu pudding. He definitely has the correct answer!”
.....
Li Shi Min's suggestion immediately received the approval of the ministers. This was something rarely seen in the past.
"Wang De, forget it. Let Li Zhong go. Li Zhong, I have ordered you to summon Yang Xuan, the manager of Sparrow Immortal Restaurant.”Li Shimin thought for a while and added,
"If Yang Xuan doesn't come, you can ask him directly. Ask him which is good or bad for savory and sweet tofu pudding. It's best if you write it down!"”
When Wang De heard the roll call, he bowed and prepared to receive the decree. When he heard that Li Zhong was going, he immediately wanted to cry but had no tears!
He regretted his actions in the Vermillion Bird Immortal Pavilion even more!
"Yes, this old servant will obey!" When Li Zhong heard that it was him, he immediately bowed happily and replied.
Every time something happened, His Majesty would ask Wang De to go. He did not expect that it would finally be his turn this time.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, Li Zhong knew that his chance had come!
Yang Xuan was definitely his lucky star!
Many of the officials looked at the scene with thoughtful expressions.
However, there were no small matters in the imperial family. In the past, it was Wang De who acted on behalf of the emperor. Now that Wang De had nothing to do, he let Li Zhong do it for him. This was worth investigating!
Yang Xuan would never know that a person who had randomly blacklisted him would actually make the ministers rack their brains to think of the reason!
But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care!
On the other side, on the streets of Chang 'an, the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant was surrounded by a dense crowd.
He stuck his head out to see what the angel looked like.
"Shopkeeper Yang, please follow this old servant. His Majesty and the ministers are waiting!”Li Zhong begged.
Although Li Shiming said that if Yang Xuan didn't come, he only needed to answer the question.
However, Li Zhong knew that there was definitely a difference between inviting someone and bringing the answer.
The former could only be considered to have done his part, while the latter had shown his ability. From His Majesty's words, it could be seen that this person was difficult to invite.
However, if he invited Yang Xuan back, he would naturally be valued by the Emperor!
"I said I won't go. Go. Don't hinder my business here!”Yang Xuan frowned.
Li Shimin actually asked him to judge the salty and sweet dispute between the civil and military officials. Wasn't this nonsense?
After yesterday, he had already completed more than 130 sets. He was still looking forward to completing the mission as soon as possible!
"Shopkeeper Yang, why don't you give a conclusion so that this old servant can go back and report!”Li Zhong said bitterly.
Who would have thought that there would still be someone who dared to resist His Majesty's edict and not give him any face at all!
Moreover, entering the palace to meet the emperor was a great blessing. In the homes of ordinary people, it was a symbol of their ancestors. He did not expect the shopkeeper to reject it without even thinking!
Wu Meiniang looked at Yang Xuan strangely. The shopkeeper was really domineering!
When the crowd outside heard Yang Xuan's reply, they were also shocked. Then, they felt that it was unbelievable.
He dared not even listen to the emperor's words. What kind of god was this shopkeeper?
