Lin Xuan also tasted it, and I have to say that the taste is really good.
Even though stir-frying has become the mainstream in later generations, there are still many methods of steaming and roasting that have been preserved. It can be seen that the method of steaming, cooking and roasting still has its unique charm.
But relatively speaking, steaming, cooking and roasting are more labor-intensive, and there are fewer good cooks, while cooking is much easier and easier.
What surprised Lin Xuan was that he thought Changsun Wuji would tell his purpose during the meal, but unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji didn't say anything until the end of lunch.
As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry. Lin Xuan is not a eunuch, so naturally he is not in a hurry.
After the meal, the maid brought tea after tearing off the leftovers.
Changsun Wuji sent all the servants away, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty loves the eldest grandson's family and married Princess Gaoyang, but the old man has no way to teach his son, and Nizi actually ran into Princess Gaoyang."
Neither Lin Xuan nor Li Lizhi answered the conversation. Is it as simple as a collision?
Changsun Wuji said to himself: "Your Majesty is kind enough to spare the life of the rebellious son and punish him as a brave guard. I know that the concubine is the general of the brave guard. The princess and the rebellious son of the old man are also relatives. It is inevitable that the son-in-law will help A bit, the old man invited the princess and the son-in-law over this time, just to ask the son-in-law not to favor that traitor, and let him suffer a little bit, otherwise he won't have a long memory."
"Your Majesty punished Sun Chong as a brave guard? Why didn't I know about this?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
After all, I'm the brave general of Wei, so you put someone in for me without any notice?
Well, Li Shimin really doesn't need to inform him, who makes him the emperor.
"Maybe he is telling the son-in-law when he is going to leave." Changsun Wuji said.
It was only now that he knew what Lin Xuan didn't know. Could it be that Li Shimin was afraid that Lin Xuan would refuse?
But now that he has said everything, he doesn't care about that much anymore.
Lin Xuan didn't get too entangled in this issue, but said: "Zhao Guogong's words are out of the question. Our two families are also relatives now. Can I not help with this trivial matter? Don't worry, I will definitely do what Zhao Guogong wants. Let him suffer a little and improve his memory."
Lin Xuan had an expression of not wanting to see me.
Changsun Wuji almost vomited blood, did I ask you to help like this?
His subconscious intention was to ask Lin Xuan to help take care of him and open the back door for his eldest grandson.
After all, Lin Xuan is the brave General of the Guards, so it's not just a matter of what he said.
But it was Li Shimin's order to punish Sun Chong as a soldier, so he couldn't say it clearly.
Who knew that Lin Xuan simply pretended not to understand, and followed his words.
The gloomy look on Changsun Wuji's face disappeared in a flash, and he said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble the son-in-law."
"No trouble, they are all relatives." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"By the way, the old man heard that the Taihe Academy and a dozen academies have issued a war letter to the academy of the son-in-law. I still have some face in Guanzhong. Do I need my help to deal with it? Other old men can't guarantee it. The old man is still very sure that the nearby academy will withdraw." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Thank you Zhao Guogong for your kindness. Since those academies dare to challenge, I will naturally dare to fight. If I ask Zhao Guogong to help, others will think that I am afraid of them."
Lin Xuan naturally knew that Changsun Wuji was negotiating terms with him.
But Lin Xuan was not ready to accept it, not to mention that Changsun Wuji could only withdraw part of it, so what if he could withdraw all of it?
At that time, the aristocratic family only needs to release the news, saying that he is afraid, and find someone to talk about it, and the aristocratic family will have face and face at that time.
Although Lin Xuan was not very confident in the comparison test, he was not afraid.
What if we lose?
At worst, a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages will be left behind.
Take Li Bai’s Difficult Road to Shu as an example. The Road to Shu refers to the plank road around Jianmen Pass. Of course, Li Bai used the road to express his depression about his bumpy official career and difficult life.
But how many people in later generations specially visited Jianmen Pass because of the difficulty of the Shu Road, wanting to experience how difficult the Shu Road is.
The poems of those literati and inkmen have made many places that do not go out become familiar.
Lin Xuan believes that if he throws Wang Bolai during the competition, even if he loses, it will not have any impact on Boyuan Academy, and if he fails, the name of Boyuan Academy will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
"The son-in-law is so confident, but the old man is too worried."
The smile on Changsun Wuji's face was a little stiff, he didn't know where Lin Xuan's confidence came from.
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Li Li was worried that the two of them would be in a stalemate, so she took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Changsun Wuji didn't persuade them to stay either, and personally sent the two of them out of the mansion.
……
"Uncle wants my husband to help my cousin secretly, why does my husband refuse?"
In the carriage, Li Li questioned the doubts in her heart.
She felt that this was not a big deal, and it could ease the relationship with Changsun Wuji, but she couldn't figure out why Lin Xuan refused.
Lin Xuan sighed, and said, "Madam, have you ever thought about why His Majesty sent Changsun Chong to the Valiant Guard with so many troops?"
Li Li looked at Lin Xuan suspiciously.
"There are so many troops in the Tang Dynasty. With Zhao Guogong's face, no matter which army Changsun Chong goes to, no one will embarrass Changsun Chong. With a little care, you can get Zhao Guogong's favor, and no one will refuse. And me and It is well known that Zhao Guogong has a bad relationship, and it is impossible for His Majesty not to know, why did His Majesty punish the eldest grandson to rush to the Valiant Guard?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Lizhi exclaimed: "Husband means that Father deliberately let his cousin go to Xiaoyongwei, just because he doesn't want anyone to favor others?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, Changsun Chong beat Princess Gaoyang. If Changsun Chong is easily let go, what will be the face of His Majesty and the royal family?"
Li Shimin sent Changsun Chong to Xiaoyongwei just to use his hand to clean up Changsun Chong. If he agrees to Changsun Wuji's conditions, can Li Shimin give him good fruit?
Knowing the reason, Li Lizhi didn't say much.
Among husband, father and uncle, she naturally favors husband and father.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the competition, and Lin Xuan came to the academy early in the morning.
All the students are off today for the competition.
Xu Geng and a group of teachers came earlier than Lin Xuan.
They already have feelings for the academy and know what this competition means.
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Lin Xuan knew that they lacked confidence, and asked, "Where is the venue for the competition?"
"Going back to Lord Hou, because there are a lot of people, we temporarily set it up in the square in the middle." Xu Geng said.
"Well, the weather is nice today, so it's okay to put it in the square, let's ask someone to decorate it." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes." Xu Geng responded and began to assign tasks.
Although Lin Xuan didn't say anything, seeing how calm Lin Xuan was, everyone gained some confidence in their hearts, led the characters, and went down to prepare.
"Fortunately, Master Hou is here." Xu Geng smiled wryly.
Those teachers didn't have much confidence. It wasn't that he didn't boost morale, but it didn't have any effect.
"Don't worry, we may not lose." Lin Xuan said confidently.
