In the imperial kitchen, because of Li Er's orders, the chefs were busy. When they saw the Crown Prince come again, they hurriedly greeted him, and then they were puzzled.
"Bengong will personally cook some food for Imperial Father and the ministers.”As Li Chengqian spoke, he began to give instructions in an orderly manner.
With more than ten people, they naturally had to cook a few more dishes. However, it was a waste of time to cook too many dishes.
Therefore, the amount of each dish was very large.
Of course, he wasn't doing this to suck up to her.
He was a modern man with a system, and he was the crown prince of the Great Tang, so he did not need to kneel to anyone.
With his strength, even if he gave up his identity as the Crown Prince, he could still establish a new dynasty.
The reason why he did this was because of his sense of belonging.
They were all Han Chinese, and those ministers were once curious and admired ancient people. They had made irreplaceable contributions to the Han world.
Therefore, there was no need to lower himself to cook a meal for them.
Moreover, Li Chengqian also preferred the feeling of fighting.
With the cooperation of more than ten chefs, the eight dishes took more than an hour to cook.
In the Crown Prince's courtyard, eight large dishes were placed on the table. Li Er and the officials sat around the table and began to taste them, praising them endlessly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has good culinary skills. This old minister is lucky to be able to eat the food that Your Highness the Crown Prince makes.”
"Smells good."
Everyone ate heartily and quickly. The novel taste of the dishes completely conquered them.
With good dishes, there would naturally be good wine.
They exchanged cups and drank non-stop. The atmosphere was lively.
Li Chengqian was also sitting at the side, occasionally taking a sip.
It wasn't that he couldn't drink, but the wine was too light and he didn't feel anything.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone's actions finally eased up. With Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong as the leaders, they began to shout and brag.
Li Er pondered for a while before looking at Li Chengqian and saying,"The Crown Prince's cooking skills need not be mentioned, but as the Crown Prince, it's better for you to enter the kitchen less in the future.”
It could be seen that Li Er did not blame him, but for his sake, he could not help but remind him.
Li Chengqian nodded and said," Father, don't worry. When the chefs learn how to cook, I won't go again unless I'm thinking of something."”
"Yes." Li Er nodded and stared at Li Chengqian."I've eaten the dishes and drunk the wine. It's time to talk about serious matters. You've turned the tide in this great victory and contributed greatly. However, as the Crown Prince, how you should be rewarded is a problem. If I had known earlier, your contribution in this battle would have been enough for an ordinary person to be conferred the title of Marquis. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?”
"As the Crown Prince, it is my duty to fight for the country." Li Chengqian said calmly. However, if Imperial Father wishes to reward him, your son does have something that requires Imperial Father's approval.”
"What is it?" Li Er asked.
The others all looked at Li Chengqian. They were also very curious.
Li Chengqian smiled and said," Your son wants to build an army. An army that belongs to your son alone. There is no need for too many people. Five thousand people are enough. As for the name, let's call it the Crown Prince's Army.”
Good boy…
Although Li Chengqian looked like he didn't care at all, the ministers 'hearts were pounding.
Build an army? An army that belonged solely to the Crown Prince?
Was this a rebellion?
One had to know that this was a great taboo for the royal family.
You haven't even ascended the throne and you want to have your own army. What do you want Li Er to think?
His words silenced all the ministers.
They couldn't get involved in such matters.
Li Er fell into deep thought and then looked at Li Chengqian.
And Li Chengqian was also looking at him calmly, like an old well without ripples.
"Why?" Li Er asked.”
"Fighting for the country," said Li Chengqian.”
Four simple words.
However, Li Er had an inexplicable trust because Li Chengqian's eyes made him trust him.
Finally, he made up his mind and nodded."I approve."
"Thank you, Imperial Father." Li Chengqian said. His expression was still neither happy nor sad.
In the eyes of Li Er and the others, they were filled with emotion.
He didn't show his emotions on his face. This Crown Prince was too outstanding.
Li Er continued," However, the national treasury is tight now. Although I allow you to build an army, you have to feed these 5,000 people yourself. I won't pay a single cent.”
This was a test for the Crown Prince.
Li Chengqian smiled. Money was not a problem for him. He looked at the few generals who were inexplicably moved and said,"Of course. Don't worry father, your son can solve this problem.”
"That's good." Li Er smiled in relief and then said,"But as the Crown Prince, you can't just think about fighting and killing all day long. You have to study hard on the way to prosper the country and govern the country. Don't abandon your studies. In this way, you can let the great scholar Li Gang teach you in the future. Only then can you be on par with the civil and martial arts.”
Li Chengqian was stunned, his expression strange.
"Why do you have such an expression?" Li Er asked in surprise.”
Li Chengqian shook his head and said,""Father, are you sure you want Li Gang to teach me?”
"What's wrong?" Li Er asked doubtfully.”
Li Chengqian's expression made him very puzzled.
What happened to Li Gang?
Li Chengqian smiled. It was nothing. It was just that Li Gang had the title of Crown Prince Killer.
In history, Li Gang had taught three Crown Princes, but in the end, all three Crown Princes died.
And Li Chengqian in history was also one of them.
