Wei Zheng covered the pot lid with a wet cloth to prevent the smell from escaping.
If it overflows now, there won’t be much flavor later.
Wei Zheng could accept durian and thought it was quite delicious.
But when you look at other people's reactions, you know that this is not out of kindness, it is a prank on yourself.
If you want to get wet in the rain, you can't be tricked by others.
This requires tearing up everyone else's umbrella so that we can all experience it together.
As the day dawned, officials arrived at the Taiji Palace one after another.
"Mr. Fang!" Ma Zhou quickened his pace and caught up with Fang Xuanling.
Seeing that it was Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling also stopped and smiled, "Ma Yushi!"
Ma Zhou was born into a poor peasant family. He was diligent and studious in his childhood and had outstanding literary talent.
During the Wude period, he was appointed assistant teacher in Bozhou, where he drank strong wine every day and ignored official duties.
After Ma Zhou arrived in the capital Chang'an, he became acquainted with General Chang He and took up residence at Chang He's house.
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, there was a severe drought. Li Shimin ordered civil and military officials to make plans for state affairs. Ma Zhou made plans for Chang He and stated his political views. Li Shimin then issued an edict to recruit Ma Zhou and appointed him to the Ministry of Personnel.
The following year, Ma Zhou was promoted to the position of Censor-in-Chief and performed his duties competently.
"Has Lord Fang heard about what happened at Lord Wei's mansion?"
Fang Xuanling shook his head. "Wei Zheng? What happened to him?"
"It is said that Duke Wei is suspected of stewing shit in his mansion..."
"Oh!" Fang Xuanling smiled, "How is that possible!"
Fang Xuanling didn't believe that Wei Zheng could do such a thing.
"Neighbors said that many people smelled it, otherwise I wouldn't have known about it."
Fang Xuanling frowned, "How bizarre!"
“Many people know about this…”
Officials entered the Taiji Hall one after another, and Fang Xuanling also heard others talking about this matter.
Fang Xuanling looked around and saw that most people had arrived, but Wei Zheng was nowhere to be seen.
"Left servant!"
Hearing someone calling him, Fang Xuanling turned around and saw Li Jing.
He smiled and said, "Right Servant, have you come to see Duke Wei?"
Li Jing shook his head. "I haven't seen Duke Wei today! What's the matter?"
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "I just heard some rumors and asked casually!"
Most of the others had arrived before Wei Zheng entered the Taiji Hall.
What was in Wei Zheng's arms attracted the attention of others.
It happened that at this time Li Shimin entered the Taiji Hall in his royal robes.
Li Shimin did not sit down in a hurry, thinking about the durian he had given Wei Zheng before.
I would like to ask Wei Zheng how it tastes.
"Wei Zheng, what's in your arms?"
When he brought something to the morning court, Li Shimin and others were still very curious.
"Your Majesty, this is a gift I specially prepared for you!"
"Gift?" Li Shimin also became interested. Someone like Wei Zheng actually prepared a gift.
I've never seen this before!
"This is your gift from Wei Zheng, I must take a good look at it!"
Zhang Ananda walked over and took the thing from Wei Zheng's arms.
Zhang Ananda was surprised to find that it was still hot.
"This is the pot for cooking porridge!" Li Shimin looked at it, "Are you preparing food?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, just open it and you'll know."
Wei Zheng smiled meaningfully.
Fang Xuanling always felt something was wrong.
Yuchi Jingde, Hou Junji and others also came over curiously, wanting to see what Wei Zheng gave Li Shimin.
Wei Zheng doesn't seem like the kind of person who would give gifts. Others might be able to do so, but a minister of remonstration like Wei Zheng shouldn't.
So everyone is curious.
"This is to prevent it from getting cold, and they even sealed it with a damp cloth. Lord Wei is so thoughtful!"
Zhang Ananda removed the wet cloth and Li Shimin opened the lid.
The group of people around saw the porridge inside, and the next moment Li Shimin and others realized that something was wrong.
"vomit!"
Li Shimin was very familiar with this taste.
Fang Xuanling has also seen it!
"vomit!"
A group of people were disgusted.
Durian is more delicious after heating.
"This is... Wei Zheng is really stewing shit!"
Everyone moved out of the way, and poor Zhang Ananda was holding the porridge, not knowing whether to put it down or take it up, and could only hold his breath.
"Wei Zheng! You are simply not a human being!" Yuchi Jingde said viciously.
"Wei Zheng, what are you doing?" Li Shimin dodged to the other side. "What do you want to do?"
"Your Majesty, I think this is delicious. I want to give it to you to try!" Wei Zheng took the durian porridge from Zhang Ananda and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think it's delicious?"
"Someone! Someone!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Get him out! Get Wei Zheng out!"
Others also complained.
Wei Zheng smiled and took out a spoon from his arms, "Your Majesty, are you sure you don't want to try it?"
Wei Zheng started eating by himself.
Seeing someone coming in and trying to stab him, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "I will get out by myself!"
Seeing Wei Zheng eating, the others wanted to vomit their overnight meals, and many of them started to dry heave.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the durian. I like it very much!" Wei Zheng shouted before leaving.
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others also realized that this was something Li Shimin gave to Wei Zheng.
He just wanted to disgust Wei Zheng, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to like it and even sent it back to disgust Li Shimin.
"This country bumpkin!" Li Shimin was angry.
Turned around and went to the side hall.
Others also left the Tai Chi Hall, wanting to get some fresh air.
The Tai Chi Hall smells like durian, I can't stay there.
After boiling it for a while, the flavor of the durian is fully stimulated.
When he returned to the side hall, Li Shimin still felt nauseous when he thought of the porridge he had just eaten.
"This Wei Zheng...this Wei Zheng is deliberately trying to piss me off!"
