Moreover, even the emperor had started to raise pigs. The people of the world would follow suit.
At that time, wouldn't the slaughter tax be a source of income?
Li Shiming believed that pork would soon replace mutton as the most common meat for the people of the Great Tang.
However, Li Shiming knew that the other ministers thought that he had been provoked.
He actually went crazy and wanted to start raising pigs.
"Your Majesty, pork is cheap meat. If Your Majesty disregards the objections of the people and raises those pigs openly, the Great Tang will be in danger.”
"The national treasury is already empty. If Your Majesty insists on this, Wei Zheng will die in Taiji Palace today.”
The remonstrant, Wei Zheng, walked to the center and shouted at Li Shimin angrily.
He took off his crown and looked at the stone steps under Li Shimin's feet.
"Idiot, you are threatening me!" Li Shi Min was about to go crazy.
It wasn't easy for him to get the secret technique from Yan Lin, but Wei Zheng, you old fart, actually threatened him with death.
She threatened him not to raise pigs.
Li Shiming really wanted to point at Wei Zheng and scold him for being a pig brain and being stubborn.
Taiji Palace fell silent.
Everyone could see that Li Shiming's face had darkened.
Wei Zheng was too agitated today and threatened him with his life.
It would put the emperor on the spot. "Your Majesty, Physician Wei is only doing this because he cares about the country…"
"Your Majesty, I am a commoner, but if Your Majesty doesn't care about the country, I will die here today.”Wei Zheng interrupted Li Xiaogong and stared at Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth.
He was now wondering if Yan Lin would be as angry as him if he met a stubborn bull like Wei Zheng.
"May I ask Your Majesty, where did you obtain this secret technique?”Li Xiaogong hurriedly said when he saw the strange atmosphere in the hall.
He was really worried that Li Shiming would chop off Wei Zheng's head in a fit of anger.
This Wei Zheng is really something. Can't your tone be better?
He directly pushed the Emperor to death and did not even give him a way out.
You're forcing yourself to death.
Li Xiaogong thought to himself.
"Your Majesty, please tell us who taught us this secret technique.”Wei Zheng said.
He also knew that he had been too impulsive just now.
He would directly put His Majesty on the spot.
This gave Li Shiming a way out.
However, Wei Zheng was really going to kill the bastard who tricked Li Shimin into raising pigs.
This was simply a joke with the Great Tang.
Wei Zheng swore that if he knew who this person was, he would definitely catch him and chop up the guy who ate his food.
Li Xiaogong and the others nodded.
What Wei Zheng said was the main point.
Why were they angry with His Majesty?
His Majesty must have heard some slanderous rumors to have such thoughts.
The person they should deal with was the person who said this secret technique.
From the beginning of history, this pork had an extremely strange taste.
Ordinary people would find it difficult to swallow.
Someone actually said that he could get rid of the strange smell of pork.
He was either a liar or had ulterior motives.
If the imperial court really decided to raise pigs, wouldn't it really be following that person's heart?
If anything happened to the Great Tang because of this, they would all be sinners.
Everyone looked at Li Shi Min, waiting for him to say the name of this sinner.
"Looking at you like this, Zhen's heart is also filled with mixed feelings.”Li Shi Min was no longer as angry as before, and his voice was calm.
The ministers were stunned.
They did not understand why their Emperor would say such a thing. Weren't they all thinking for the sake of the Great Tang?
Shouldn't His Majesty be extremely happy?
"Doctor Wei, you have to remember what you said just now!”Li Shiming suddenly said to Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he heard Li Shimin shouting out of the hall,"Serve the dishes." As soon as Li Shiming finished speaking, two rows of palace maids entered Taiji Palace with a wooden tray in their hands.
On the wooden plate were red braised pork that was overflowing with oil.
He could even see the steam rising from the fire.
"Oh, it smells so good!" Someone in the hall suddenly said.
After the Empress learned these red braised pork from Yan Lin, she wrote them down and gave them to the cooks in the palace to learn.
The meat was also obtained from Yan Lin, and it took Li Shiming a lot of effort to persuade him.
"What is this? It looks like pork."
"Isn't it just pork?"
"But this pork is actually so fragrant that I can't help but want to try it.”
"Are you crazy? Pork is cheap meat. How can people of our status eat it?”
"This meat smells good, but who knows if it will be equally disgusting when eaten?”
The courtiers were discussing in low voices.
They were all saying that the taste of the pork must be extremely disgusting.
"Ministers, this is red braised pork. The pork has been cooked using a secret technique. Since you don't believe me, try it.”Li Shi Min clasped his hands behind his back and said to the ministers.
No one dared to be the first.
Who knew if he would vomit in this hall after eating?
If that was really the case, wouldn't it be a slap to His Majesty's face? At that time, wouldn't His Majesty hate him to death?
The officials did not move, but Wei Zheng was not afraid.
He wanted to see where the Emperor had met such a swindler that he had managed to trick the Great Tang Imperial Court.
Wei Zheng wanted to expose this scam on the spot.
He was not afraid of death.
He was not afraid of embarrassing the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this subject is here." Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin.
He steeled his heart and grabbed a piece of red braised pork with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth without using his chopsticks.
" Oh-" Wei Zheng's eyes instantly lit up.
"Doctor Wei, how is it?"
"Doctor Wei, are you alright?"
"Your Majesty, should we call for a doctor? Doctor Wei seems to be unable to speak!”
The officials asked Wei Zheng one after another. Seeing that Wei Zheng did not speak, they immediately thought that something had happened to him.
The first thing he said was to invite the imperial physician over.
"Wei Zheng, how does it taste?" Li Shi Min said lightly. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Wei Zheng knelt down in front of Li Shimin.
The Great Tang did not worship.
Other than his parents, even if he saw the emperor, he only needed to salute.
Wei Zheng's sudden kneeling shocked all the officials in the hall.
"Doctor…Doctor Wei, you…are you still…alright?”Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng in surprise.
He thought to himself that Wei Zheng must have been possessed. How did he become like this after eating a piece of meat?
Li Xiaogong and the other officials were also dumbstruck.
" Your Majesty, the taste of this meat..." Wei Zheng could not continue.
He had already tasted the pork.
It was definitely not as bad as he remembered.
Instead, it was an extremely delicious food.
