The back garden was a little chaotic.
Li Yuanjing slapped Li Tai to the ground and taught him a lesson.
The palace maids and eunuchs who followed Li Tai were trembling in fear. They didn't dare to pull this 'King Zhao' away. They could only run to the Emperor's bedroom and report to Li Shimin.
Li Tai's face was swollen and he looked at his uncle with hatred.
Li Chengqian, Li Lizhi, and the others also felt that Li Yuanjing was being too violent.
"Who knows the story of why you don't eat meat?”
Li Yuanjing looked coldly at these royal children, his tone very strict. As the virtuous king, he naturally had to teach his nephews and nieces to become one person.
It wasn't that he wanted to be stingy, but at least he couldn't waste food and throw those pastries around like toys.
"I know."
Li Chengqian raised his small hand, eager to try. Seeing Li Yuanjing nod, he said,"There was a foolish emperor in the Jin Dynasty. During the drought that year, a eunuch reported to the emperor that many commoners had starved to death. The foolish emperor asked why they didn't eat meat.”
"Mother once told me that the meaning of this story is that the person in power must know the sufferings of the people and must not be unable to distinguish between the price of meat and food.”
Finished talking, Li Chengqian and the others all came to a realization, understanding why Imperial Uncle had struck so heavily.
"Such a stupid thing happened in the Jin Dynasty, and so did it in our Great Tang. The green sparrow actually asked why the people of the east of the river don't eat cherry crisp.”
"Yes!" Everyone spoke in unison and stood on Li Yuanjing's side. They all felt ashamed of their actions of wasting food.
Finally, the Emperor and Empress arrived.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, please seek justice for Green Sparrow.”When Li Tai saw the backer, he immediately ran over and hugged Li Shiming's thigh, crying.
"Green Sparrow!"
Li Shimin was furious when he saw his son's swollen face. Especially when Li Yuanjing had failed to persuade him earlier and now he was venting his anger on Green Sparrow.
This had already offended his reverse scale.
"Li Yuanjing, kneel down!"
Li Shi Min shouted, scaring all the eunuchs and serving girls into kneeling down.
However, Li Yuanjing straightened his back and went up to him."Your Majesty, I taught Li Tai a lesson for you. Why should I kneel?”
"He's just a child. If you're unhappy with me, then come at me.”
Li Shi Min shouted, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"What exactly happened?" Empress Zhangsun hurriedly asked.”
Li Yuanjing was too lazy to say. Li Tai didn't dare to say, and Li Chengqian didn't want to say either.
Only Li Lizhi pointed at the mess on the stone table and said timidly,"Imperial Father, we were wrong. We shouldn't have played with food. There are still many people in Hedong Road who don't have enough to eat.”
Just now, when Imperial Uncle saw Green Sparrow throwing cherry crisp at me, he taught Green Sparrow a lesson. Green Sparrow said that the people of Hedong had no food to eat, so why didn't they eat cherry crisp?
Swoosh!
Li Shi Min's anger was completely gone. His face was burning as he glared at Li Tai.
Idiot!
He actually said something like why he didn't eat the cherry crisp. He simply lost all of my face.
They were both children, but why was there such a huge difference between Li Tai and Li Yuanjing?
"Green Sparrow, let go. Your Majesty, leave this matter to King Zhao to discipline.”Empress Zhangsun's eyebrows were raised as she stared at this little fatty who was wasting food.
Li Tai's hand let go of Li Shi Min's clothes.
"Imperial Older Brother should manage it yourself, this Chen Younger Brother doesn't have the strength.”Li Yuanjing grinned.
Li Shiming looked around. He couldn't bear to discipline them. Ever since he became the emperor, he gave everything good to his sons and daughters. However, his children seemed to be used to the life of princes and princesses.
This was not beneficial to them.
"Yuanjing, I knew that you must have a reason for hurting them. It's only right that you, the imperial uncle, educate them.”Empress Zhangsun came to Li Yuanjing and spoke gently.
Since his sister-in-law had already stepped forward, he had to give her face.
"Imperial Brother and Imperial Sister-in-law can't interfere in this matter." Li Yuanjing agreed.”
Empress Zhangsun nodded. Li Shimin hesitated for a while, but he was pulled away by Empress Zhangsun.
......
"Who ruined the food first?"
"Uncle, I was the one who threw the fruit at Li Ke first." The person who spoke was Li Tai.
"Who threw the crushed grapes on the ground?”
" I didn't like Li Tai, so I smashed him." Li Ke looked like he was only five or six years old, and he looked at Li Tai angrily.
"Who ate the watermelon and threw it away before finishing it?”
"Imperial Uncle, I was wrong. Don't slap my face…" Cheng Yang covered his face.
Li Yuanjing asked a few more questions to get a rough idea of everything.
"From now on, all of you will starve. No one will be able to eat!”Li Yuanjing's roguish voice rang out, and the surrounding people wailed.
He wanted to let these flowers of the royal family experience the sufferings of the people in the east of the river.
After starving once, one would know how precious food was.
........
"Guanyin maid, Li Yuanjing has already starved them for twelve hours. The green sparrow is still young, so of course it doesn't understand.”
Li Shi Min looked at the moaning princes and princesses in the hall through the carvings on the door, especially when Li Tai was already banging his head against the wall.
He looked at his wife beside him, hoping that she would say something.
Unexpectedly, Empress Zhangsun's face was cold as she slowly said,""Just now, ChenQie went to Ye Ting Palace's Yongning Lane and saw Wanshun farming in the fields from afar. She is only an eight-year-old child.”
"ChenQie also asked the guards outside the courtyard and learned that the palace maid who delivered the food had been making things difficult for the mother and daughter. Wanshun and Eldest Sister-in-law often starved for two to three days.”
Instantly, Li Shi Min felt guilty.
In comparison, Li Yuanjing starving the princes and princesses for twelve hours was child's play.
"Guanyin maid, they are your son and daughter. This won't do. Zhen has to stop this King Zhao.”Li Shi Min said unhappily.
"The King of Zhao has also been hungry for twelve hours," sighed Empress Zhangsun.”
Li Shi Min was stunned.
Did he really spoil his children too much?
Finally, another six hours passed.
Li Yuanjing finally let them go. Li Shiming immediately ordered the imperial chef to quickly bring the dishes to the palace to let the princes and princesses eat.
When he returned to Martial Virtue Hall, he immediately gave the order.
"Where is the Ghost King? Come and see me quickly!”
......
The streets of Chang 'an East City were bustling with activity.
Wonton stall, tea stall, naan cake stall
Three people were sitting at one of the tables in front of a pancake stall.
However, two of them were very ugly. One of them had a horse-like face, and the distance between his chin and forehead was far beyond that of ordinary people.
One of them had a cow's face, and the distance between his left ear and right ear was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Only the third person was slightly more normal.
"F * ck, Li Da, the sesame cake you recommended is too delicious. I don't want to be a ghost anymore. I want to be a human.”The horse-faced man began to nibble on the hot pancake. There were large white sesame seeds on the pancake, making people drool.
"This fragrant wonton is not bad either. Try the horse noodles.”The man with the cow's face poured a bowl of wontons into his mouth. He didn't even think it was hot, scaring the people around him.
These Ox-Head and Horse-Face Ghost Kings were all under Li Yuanjing's command. They had nothing to do on a daily basis, so they followed another Ghost King, Li Da, to eat and drink in Chang 'an. They transformed into human forms and experienced the life of mortals.
However, Li Da laughed and said," Are you happy eating the Ox-Head Horse Noodles? Do something for me."”
Ox-Head and Horse-Face patted their chests and said,"Just say it!"”
"Follow me to the palace to bring two people and kill one more person."”
Ox-Head and Horse-Face expressed their dilemma and said,""Master said that we can't casually harm people.”
"Yes, all actions must be approved by Master.”
Li Da furrowed his brows, clearly displeased. He looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace. There seemed to be someone he was worried about there.
"Li Da, why don't you tell us who your enemy is? Let's get Master to help you.”Ox Head patted Li Da's shoulder heroically. They were both Ghost Kings, but Ox Head didn't know much about Li Da's background.
However, the fact that the other party was familiar with the delicious food in Chang 'an proved that Li Da was probably from this era. However, he did not enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation after his death. Instead, he became a ghost with deep resentment and drifted in the world.
"Master, he can't help." Li Da shook his head. He did not want his master to know his identity.
All of a sudden, the three of them looked solemn. Apparently, they had received Li Yuanjing's summons.
Instantly, the three of them disappeared.
"Damn it! He ate three pancakes and five bowls of wontons from me, and he actually ran away.”
The stall owner was cursing, but he couldn't see the three of them anywhere. It was as if the three of them had disappeared into thin air.
