Lin Xuan also tasted it and had to say that it tasted really good.
Even though stir-frying has become the mainstream in later generations, many steaming and roasting methods have still been preserved. It can be seen that the steaming, cooking and roasting method still has its own unique charm.
But relatively speaking, steaming, cooking and roasting are more time-consuming, and there are fewer good cooks, while cooking is relatively easier.
What surprised Lin Xuan was that he thought Changsun Wuji would tell him his purpose during the meal. Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji said nothing until the lunch was over.
As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry and 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 pulled off the leftovers and served tea.
Changsun Wuji sent all the servants away and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Your Majesty loves the Changsun family so much that he married Princess Gaoyang. However, I did not teach my son well, and the rebellious son actually violated Princess Gaoyang."
Neither Lin Xuan nor Li Lizhi answered. Is this a simple collision?
Changsun Wuji said to himself: "Your Majesty showed mercy and spared the traitor's life and punished him to serve as a brave guard. I know that the consort is the general of the brave guard. The princess and my traitor are relatives. It is inevitable that the consort will help him when the time comes.
After all, I invited the princess and the consort here this time just to ask the consort not to favor the traitor and let him suffer a little, otherwise he will lose his memory."
"Your Majesty punished the eldest son, Sun Chong, to serve as a brave guard? How come I didn't know about this?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
I am the General of the Heroic Guard, after all. You assigned someone to me without giving any notice?
Well, Li Shimin really didn't need to inform him, who made him the emperor?
“Maybe I’m going to tell the prince-in-law when I’m waiting for him to leave,” Changsun Wuji said.
He only now knew what Lin Xuan didn't know. Could it be that Li Shimin was afraid of Lin Xuan's rejection?
But now that he has said everything, he doesn't care about so much anymore.
Lin Xuan did not dwell on this issue, but said: "What Mr. Zhao Guo said is out of context. Our two families are also relatives now. Can I not help with this little thing? Don't worry, I will definitely do what Mr. Zhao Guo wants.
Let him suffer a little and improve his memory."
Lin Xuan looked like he didn't want to see me outside.
Changsun Wuji almost vomited blood. Did I ask you to help like this?
His hidden intention was to ask Lin Xuanduo to help take care of him and open the back door for his eldest grandson Chong.
After all, Lin Xuan is the brave general of the Wei Dynasty. Who has merit or demerit is not a matter of his words.
But it was Li Shimin's order to punish Chief Sun Chong and banish him from the army, 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 flashed away, and he smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble the consort."
"It's not troublesome, we are all relatives." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"By the way, I heard that Taihe Academy and more than a dozen academies issued a declaration of war to the Prince Consort's academy. I still have some respect in Guanzhong. Do you need my help to deal with it? Other I can't guarantee that, let Guanzhong people like this
I am still very confident that the nearby academy will withdraw." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao Guo, for your kindness. Since those academies dare to challenge me, I will naturally dare to challenge them. If I ask Mr. Zhao Guo 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 prepared to accept it. Not to mention that Changsun Wuji could only withdraw part of it, so what if he could withdraw completely?
When the time comes, all the family needs to do is release the news that he is scared and find someone to make peace with him, and then the family will have all their dignity.
Although Lin Xuan was not very confident in the comparison test, he was not afraid either.
What happens if you lose?
At worst, I will leave behind a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages.
Take Li Bai's "The Difficulties of Shu Road" as an example. The "Shu Road" refers to the plank road around Jianmen Pass. Of course, Li Bai used the road to express his depression about the bumpy career and difficult life.
But because of the difficulty of the Shu Road, how many people in later generations specially visited Qian Jianmen Pass, wanting to experience how difficult the Shu Road was.
The poems of those literati made many places known to people who never go out.
Lin Xuan believed that if he threw Wang Zhao during the competition, even if he lost, it would not have any impact on Boyuan Academy, and it might even spread the name of Boyuan Academy throughout the Tang Dynasty.
"The prince-in-law is so confident, but I am overly worried."
The smile on Changsun Wuji's face was a little stiff. He didn't know where Lin Xuan got his confidence.
Li Lizhi saw that something was not right in the atmosphere and was worried that the two of them would be at odds, so she took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Changsun Wuji did not try to persuade them to stay, and sent the two of them outside the house in person.
…
"My uncle wanted my husband to secretly help my cousin. Why did my husband refuse?"
In the carriage, Li Li asked her doubts.
She felt that this was not a big deal and could ease her relationship with Changsun Wuji. She couldn't understand why Lin Xuan refused.
Lin Xuan sighed and said: "Madam, have you ever thought about why your majesty asked Changsun Chong to join the brave guard with so many troops?"
Li Lizhi looked at Lin Xuan doubtfully.
"There are so many armies in the Tang Dynasty. With Zhao Guogong's reputation, no matter which army Changsun rushes to, no one will embarrass Changsun Chong. With a little care, you can get Zhao Guogong's favor, and no one will refuse it. And I and I
Everyone knows that Duke Zhao has a bad relationship, and it is impossible for Your Majesty not to know, why does Your Majesty still punish the eldest grandson for rushing to the brave guard?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Lizhi exclaimed: "What do you mean, husband? My father deliberately sent my cousin to the Valorous Guard because he didn't want anyone to show favoritism?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, Changsun Chong beat Princess Gaoyang. If Changsun Chong is easily let go, where will your Majesty's face and the royal family's face be?"
Li Shimin asked Changsun Chong to go to the heroic guard just to use his hand to deal with Changsun Chong. If he agrees to Changsun Wuji's conditions, can Li Shimin give him a good harvest?
Understanding the reason, Li Lizhi didn't say any more.
Between her husband, her father and her uncle, she naturally prefers her husband and her father.
…
In a blink of an eye, the day of the competition came, and Lin Xuan arrived at the academy early in the morning.
All students have a day off today for the competition.
Xu Geng and other teachers arrived earlier than Lin Xuan.
They already have feelings for the academy and know what this competition means.
Lin Xuan looked at everyone's expressions and knew that they were not confident enough, so he asked: "Where is the venue for the competition?"
"Back to Lord Marquis, because there are a lot of people, we will temporarily stay in the square in the middle." Xu Geng said.
"Well, the weather is nice today. 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, everyone saw Lin Xuan was so calm and felt a little confident. They gathered the people and went down to prepare.
"Fortunately, Lord Marquis is here." Xu Geng said with a bitter smile.
Those teachers didn't have much confidence. It wasn't that they didn't encourage morale, but they had no effect.
"Don't worry, we may not lose." Lin Xuan said confidently.
