Chapter 262

Hibiscus Garden, in the garden pavilion

Li Tai was drunk and his eyes were hazy, looking at those dancers, he looked a little depressed.

Li Shimin's love, coupled with Li Chengqian's many stupid things, gave him an idea about the crown prince.

And that idea, over time, has become an ambition.

However, during this period of time, Li Chengqian's changes, coupled with Li Shimin's attitude, made him somewhat hopeless.

"Your Highness! Mr. Han, please see me!" A eunuch stepped forward to report.

Li Tai put down his wine glass and said, "Let him come over."

Looking at the dancing girls in the pavilion, Han Wen frowned.

Li Tai is addicted to enjoyment, he doesn't care about the original intention of the family anyway, just to push him to the throne and become a puppet.

But Li Tai is still far away from the throne, how can he do without fighting spirit.

"See Your Highness!" Han Wen bowed and saluted.

Li Tai picked up the wine glass that the maid had just filled, and said with a smile, "Mr. Han is here, come and have a few drinks with me."

Han Wen said solemnly, "I have something urgent to discuss with Your Highness."

Li Tai hesitated for a while, waved his hands, and said, "You all go down."

"Yes!"

After everyone left, Li Tai asked, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Han Wen whispered, "Your Highness should plead for Duke Lu."

Li Tai was taken aback, and said: "Let me intercede for Hou Junji, do you know that this matter was thoroughly investigated by Father."

Li Shimin asked for a thorough investigation, and he went to intercede, because he was confronting Li Shimin.

Han Wen smiled and said, "Your Highness is right, but His Highness knows that His Majesty does not actually want to dispose of Hou Junji."

"Why did you say that, sir?" Li Tai asked suspiciously.

Han Wen said: "If your Majesty wants to deal with Hou Junji, why did you let Li Shangshu investigate the matter thoroughly instead of handing it over to Zheng Guogong for investigation?"

"Father is just for balance, otherwise why don't you ask the general to investigate?" Li Tai shook his head and said.

If Li Shimin didn't want to deal with Hou Junji, handing it over to the general for investigation would be a signal, and other people would understand it at a glance.

Han Wen nodded and said: "Your Highness is right. Your Majesty is indeed out of balance. But it is true that Your Majesty does not want to deal with Hou Junji. Otherwise, there are many people in the court who can be responsible for thoroughly investigating this matter. Your Majesty asked Li Shangshu to be responsible for this matter." It's because Li Shangshu understands His Majesty's mind best."

Li Tai nodded, Han Wen's words were true.

Although Li Daozong has the same relationship with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

But before the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Daozong and Li Shimin were the most speculative.

"Helping Hou Junji, is it good for me?" Li Tai asked.

He admitted that he was moved by Han Wen, but why did he help Hou Junji?

Han Wen smiled and said, "Didn't Your Highness always want to have military power?"

Li Tai was a little hot in his heart, but he calmed down quickly, and asked, "If I help him, he will take refuge in me? It's not that simple, is it?"

If Hou Junji was willing to take refuge in him, he would naturally be happy, but he didn't think it was impossible for Hou Junji to take refuge in him just based on his few words.

Han Wen said confidently: "Your Highness, of course the matter is not that simple. The matter of intercession is nothing more than showing favor to Hou Junji. Although Hou Junji's life will not be in danger in this matter, His Majesty will definitely be punished." Idle for a few years. At that time, he will naturally need someone to help. It is the best choice to seek refuge with His Highness."

"Mr. is right." Li Tai nodded.

Even if Hou Junji is idle, it will be activated one day.

Otherwise, Li Shimin could just execute Hou Junji directly, so why waste so much trouble.

"It's good that Your Highness understands." Han Wen said with a smile.

Li Tai said: "This king will go to the prison to meet Hou Junji now."

Han Wen was taken aback and said, "Your Highness is going to the prison now?"

His original intention was to let Li Tai go to Li Shimin to help say a few good words.

The Cui family also understood that Li Shimin had no intention of executing Hou Junji.

Let Han Wen persuade Li Tai just to make a statement.

Otherwise, when Hou Junji came out and found out that the Cui family didn't do anything, he would inevitably resent them.

But he didn't expect that Li Tai would go to see Hou Junji.

Li Tai nodded, and said, "Of course I have to meet him. Only after seeing him will I know how good my king is to him."

"Your Highness said so!" Han Wen said, clasping his hands.

He has always thought that Li Tai is very easy to grasp, but now it seems that Li Tai already has his own ideas.

But he has no way to stop Li Tai now.

……

Lin Xuan stood at the door waiting for Cheng Chumo and the others to arrive.

After he came back, Chunyue told him that the peppers had been dried according to his request, and the seeds were kept for grinding.

Lin Xuan had tried it before, and it tasted very good.

But his parents and younger sister are not used to it.

I just don't know, Cheng Chumo and the others can't eat or not.

Thinking of this, a smirk flashed across Lin Xuan's face.

The sound of horseshoes brought Lin Xuan back to his senses, and he saw Cheng Chumo and the others riding over.

"Haha, we brothers haven't been together for a long time, we must have a good drink today." Cheng Chumo got off his horse and laughed loudly.

Yuchi Baolin laughed loudly and said, "That's true!"

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Go ahead!"

Lin Xuan took them to the side hall in his yard, where a table of wine and food had already been prepared.

This time, Lin Xuan did not dine at a separate table, but at his own special big round table.

It's only lively when a group of people gather together to eat.

Cheng Chumo and the others were not polite, and sat down after finding a seat by themselves.

"Hey, why is this table double-layered?" Cheng Chumo said in surprise.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "You'll know after a while."

He had someone make a rotating table before, but he didn't take it out last time.

Cheng Chumo turned around tentatively, and found that the dishes on the table were also turning.

"Good stuff!" Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up.

Yuchi Baolin and the others thought it was novel, so they also tried it.

"Zi Chu, make me one later." Cheng Chu said bluntly.

Yuchi Baolin and Li Deju also asked for it.

Qin Huaidao and Xue Rengui did not speak.

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "The furniture workshop can make it, you can let them do it if you want. Sit down quickly, these dishes have added a new seasoning."

The eyes of Cheng Chumo and the others lit up, they were not polite, they touched the chopsticks and tasted them.

Did they know that Lin Xuan loves to cook delicious food, and with the addition of new seasonings, the taste must be better than before.

"puff!"

However, as soon as the food was eaten, they spit it out.

Cheng Chumo picked up the jug and quickly poured wine to rinse his mouth.

The others followed suit and rinsed their mouths with wine.

"Zichu, what did you add?" Cheng Chumo looked at Lin Xuan with a flushed face.

Lin Xuan picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and said with enjoyment, "Of course it's a good thing."

Cheng Chumo and the others looked at Lin Xuan with strange faces, their mouths opened wide.

Lin Xuan shook his head, there will be chili lovers everywhere in the later generations.

It seems that the habit of eating chili has to be cultivated slowly.

So how do you say it, it's better to be alone than to be happy together.

"Why are you looking at me, you don't eat such a delicious thing." Lin Xuan said, and took a few more mouthfuls.

Cheng Chumo and the others shook their heads repeatedly, joking, how can it be so spicy.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It's just added to what you just ate, not in other dishes."

Everyone has their favorite dishes, and they usually eat their favorites.

Of course, Lin Xuan couldn't add all the dishes on the table.

"Really?" Cheng Chumo looked at Lin Xuan suspiciously.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Just try it and you'll know."

He has considered this situation before, of course it is impossible to add chili to all dishes.

Cheng Chumo dubiously picked up other dishes and put them in his mouth.

"Zi Chu really didn't lie to me!" Cheng Chu smiled silently.

Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the maid immediately brought some dishes.

These dishes are still favorites of Cheng Chumo and others, and Lin Xuan asked someone to make two servings.

It's not difficult for others to accept chili, it's just that they are not used to it for the first time.

When winter comes, they will naturally like chili.

The ancients did not like to eat chili at first, but later found that eating chili in cold weather can keep out the cold, so they had to eat it. Later, many people fell in love with chili.

As long as they wait for winter, they will get used to it after eating it a few times.
