Next to Li Shimin is a young man, who is quite handsome.

"Your Majesty, why don't Ye Ping come to the palace to ask questions? You still want us to come here? It doesn't match our identity!"

Li Shimin said: "Because this person has a great relationship, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times before he invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain. I sympathize with the people. So what's wrong? This is imitating the actions of his ancestors, not losing his identity. By the way, do you know what to do later?"

It turned out that this person was the treacherous minister Xu Jingzong. At this time, Xu Jingzong was young and promising and was named the Grand Secretary by Li Shimin, basically on an equal footing with Kong Yingda.

He loves money as his life. For money, he can marry his daughter to a barbarian. And we still have no way to verify how many gifts he received in private.

He was inclined to the point of being in power, and the fence-treasure used to describe Jingzong should be the most suitable one. He assisted Li Mi, Taizong, Gaozong, and Wu Zetian. He leaned against him, without any political principles.

He was extremely lustful. After his wife passed away, Xu Jingzong took his wife's maid and took her as his concubine. When he found that his son had an affair with his concubine, he drove his son out of Chang'an. It was rare to turn against him for a woman.

Such a treacherous person can be valued by Li Shimin, which shows that he is extraordinary.

Xu Jingzong said respectfully: "I heard from Shangshu Du that I should not reveal my identity! Especially the identity of Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Ye Ping is quite important to me, but his personality is a bit weird. He especially doesn't like being restricted, and he doesn't like getting too close to the court, especially not being suppressed. Therefore, I have never told him my identity."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

How could Xu Jingzong know what Ye Ping's position in Li Shimin's heart? But if the superiors asked him to do this, he could only do this, otherwise how could the court continue to do it?

"Okay, there's a tavern ahead, let's go and have a look."

"yes!"

When I arrived at the pub, I saw another shop.

Li Shimin saw the shop in front and said, "Datang Bookstore? This name is good! I have never heard of the word "Bookstore" and it can actually form a word."

The bookstore did not appear until the Song Dynasty.

Its original meaning is an official institution, but Ye Ping directly used it, which means it is extended to the store.

Xu Jingzong explained, "This game is similar to a chess game. What is a game? That is the pattern. This shop is used to determine the pattern of the Tang Dynasty books. Those who take this name are talented people!"

"Hahaha, Xu Jingzong, you are indeed a talented person. My Grand Secretary has not been named the wrong person!"

"Your Majesty knows people with keen eyes, and Jingzong thanks Your Majesty for your kindness."

This Xu Jingzong said something Li Shimin loved to hear.

"So, I will take you out today to see who Ye Ping is! Do you know who the shopkeeper behind the Tang Bookstore?"

"I don't know!"

Li Shimin smiled.

"It's also Ye Ping!"

Xu Jingzong was shocked, what, it was Ye Ping?

"Didn't your Majesty say Ye Ping opened the tavern?"

"But I didn't say that he also opened a Datang Bookstore!"

"this……"

Xu Jingzong was speechless for a while.

"Let's go in and see Ye Ping."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Hmm? What did you call me?"

"Yes, Li Lang!"

So the two of them entered the tavern.

As soon as I arrived at the tavern, I could hear Ye Ping's voice.

"Old Li, you haven't come to my tavern for more than ten days. Are you that busy with your business? You don't even bother to drink and keep my small shop?"

Ye Ping was very unhappy. I was going to spend all my points. You haven't come yet. It's been more than ten days since I finally came. If I hadn't been busy, I would have asked Du Ruhui to come to you to find you.

He also saw Xu Jingzong next to Li Shimin and was immediately surprised.

This is different from what is written in history. Is this guy actually a little bit naughty?

But it is not as written in history, it has the appearance of evil.

"Hahaha, aren't you here? There's something happening recently. I've been out of the distance once, and Shuozhou has returned to its usual condition. Thanks to your plan, otherwise my business will probably be ruined."

Li Shimin’s implication is that the Turks have stabilized a lot during this period, because of your relationship with Ye Ping.

"Hahaha, I've just done my best. Old Li doesn't have to worry about it!"

After finishing, I asked again: "By the way, the vegetables I planted some time ago have matured. Why not just stir-fry them for you?"

"Oh? That's good, so I'll have Brother Ye. To be honest, I really can't eat other people's dishes except for the dishes that Brother Ye cooks."

"Old Li, you are so loving. Please, please!"

After that, they welcomed the two into the tavern.

"Please give your own benefit!"

"Brother Ye, wait a moment, no hurry."

Ye Ping was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

"Oh? What else does Lao Li have?"

"Come on, let me introduce this person to you."

"My name is Xu Jingzong. I heard Li Lang say that Manager Ye is different. Now it seems that it is no different!"

What's wrong with this guy?

From the beginning to now, Ye Ping has never faced Xu Jingzong.

Because Li Shimin didn't introduce him, he was too lazy to ask.

After all, facing such a treacherous minister, if you ask too much, you may even recruit villains.

In addition, Xu Jingzong always looks arrogant and says such words. I feel that I am the best in the world, which is quite annoying.

Ye Ping was too lazy to talk to him, but just asked again: "Is this person your friend?"

Li Shimin paused for a while and said, "That's right, this person is a friend I have known for a short time, and he is quite talented."

"Oh? It turns out that he is your friend. I thought your servant! If it is a master-servant relationship, then I was rude just now!"

Ye Ping said so.

He had no interest in Xu Jingzong at all.

It made the two of them feel a little embarrassed.

Especially Xu Jingzong, no matter how he said that he was a Grand Secretary, how could he be ignored so much?

But Li Shimin is like this, so it would be great that he can do this.

Just now, he was still anxious about Li Shimin, but seeing Li Shimin seemed to be happy with it, which made him have an illusion that Li Shimin and Ye Ping are friends.

"Shopkeeper Ye, do I look so much like a servant? The servant in your heart looks like this?"

I could feel a little unhappy in Xu Jingzong.

Ye Ping thought to himself, like, he is more like a bad person.

"I'm clumsy in my eyes! I can't see clearly! I mistakenly thought it was a human being, it seems that I was wrong."

"you……"

"Okay, Lao Xu, Ye Ping is such a person, you pretend you didn't hear it."

"yes!"

Xu Jingzong still listened to Li Shimin's words.

Ye Ping didn't say anything, he said.

"I'll go cook first!"

Going to leave again.

"Brother Ye, let's sit down and chat first?"

It seems that Li Shimin did not come to eat food.

"Okay, okay, please sit down! Rengui serves tea!"

"yes!"

After that, Li Shimin spoke.

"I haven't finished introducing it just now. Brother Ye, you must listen to my introduction!"

Li Shimin did this a bit like a pimp.
Chapter completed!
