Volume 1: Emperor Tianwei Chapter 2: Thousand Years of Ice
However, who would have thought that Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, didn't really understand what everyone meant.
Not only that, but he was even more energetic, only to hear him laugh and say: "I said, Brother Shangguan, you should be calm and impatient for a while, and after I Lao Zhao and His Majesty have divided the victory and defeat, I will fight with you for three hundred rounds." ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Since this is the case, then you kid should hurry up and draw the way, this is not your invincible general's character, hehehe." ”
Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, said: "In this way, let's each pour eighteen bowls of spirits first, line them up, and put them on the wine table." Then within the time of a stick of incense, whoever drinks it first wins, how about it? ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Well, everything depends on your General Zhao's intentions, and we will win or lose with these eighteen bowls of spirits." ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "Of course, let's still bet on my thousand-year-old ice, if you win, then just take it." As for your kid's title of King of Chu, I think it's better to forget it, I really expect you to guard the southern frontier for me. If your boy loses, then you will be punished for a year. ”
Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, said: "That's a good dare, don't talk about a year's Yulu, it's three years of Yulu, and my old Zhao hasn't seen it much yet." What's the matter, let's do it, let's get started now. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "For the sake of fairness, Brother Xiahou and Brother Song, please trouble the two of you to fill each of us with eighteen bowls first." Then each is responsible for supervising one side, and in the process of the competition, no one can spill half a drop, let alone leave a little bottom of the bowl, and each bowl must be drunk cleanly. ”
Seeing that he insisted on doing so, Xiahou Zhengjin, the king of Yan, and Song Jie, the king of Qin, had to answer in unison: "If you have an order, your subordinates will obey the order!" With that, the two of them really got up and went to prepare.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Tianwei said with a smile: "In addition, for the sake of fairness, let's ask Brother Shangguan to make a notarization for us, so as not to get your General Zhao to admit it in the end." ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Since this is the case, then the subordinates will receive the order." Just before that, I would like to make a special statement, whether it is Your Majesty or Lao Zhao, you must stop in moderation and don't be too strong. After all, we are all in our forties, and it is okay to have fun, but if we accidentally hurt our bodies, it is really not worth it. ”
Yanwang Xiahou Zhengjin said: "Yes, what Brother Shangguan said is very true, I think it should be otherwise." We don't have to drink all eighteen bowls, you can do whatever you want, and finally decide who drinks more bowls in the time of a stick of incense. Of course, if you all drink eighteen bowls in one stick of incense, then you will be judged by the actual time you have used. ”
Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, said: "Okay, okay, everything depends on you, anyway, no matter what, my old Zhao must drink happily today." What's the matter, I said Your Majesty, we can officially start. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Come on, just do what you say." As he spoke, he motioned to Xiahou Zhengjin and them to start pouring wine.
At the same time, Shangguan Qingyun next to him had to bring a small incense burner and a piece of sandalwood from the northeast corner of the Huxin Pavilion, and a strong wine competition was about to officially begin.
Not to mention, this Tianwei Emperor is really unambiguous, don't look at him as an emperor, not only the amount of wine is excellent, but the wine is not to be said. In the blink of an eye, he even dried eight large bowls, and he really didn't spill a drop, and there was not half a drop left.
Who knows, the strong have their own strong players, and a mountain is higher than a mountain. He Tianwei Emperor is really unambiguous, and Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, is even more arrogant and domineering, he has just drunk the ninth bowl here, and Zhao Jin has already entered the eleven bowls.
It's just that Zhao Jin was originally a purple-haired beard, but now it's okay, his face is full of crystal wine beads. However, even so, he didn't deliberately spill half a drop, which naturally can't be regarded as a violation.
Seeing that Zhao Jin was already far ahead, Emperor Tianwei was even more eager to catch up, and then he did three bowls in a row. However, it was too late for him to exert his strength at this time, and as soon as he finished drinking the eleventh bowl, Zhao Jin had already picked up the sixteenth bowl of spirits with a smile.
At this moment, Song Jie, the king of Qin next to Zhao Jin, secretly kicked him below.
Of course, Song Jie's meaning is naturally self-evident, reminding him to accept it when he sees it, and stop in moderation. In any case, you must save face for the Tianwei Emperor, and even if you win in the end, try not to have too big a gap.
However, the matter has come to this point, and Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, who has always been fierce and upright, is too lazy to pay attention to this. You know, this has been "no father and son in the casino" since ancient times, and you are willing to gamble and lose, win and win, and lose happily.
In this way, Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, ignored the "kind reminder" of Song Jie, the king of Qin next to him, and directly drank the remaining three bowls of spirits in one go.
Until this time, the sandalwood in the incense burner was only half burned, and the Tianwei Emperor had just picked up the thirteenth bowl, and he hadn't even had time to drink it.
In this way, this unique competition between monarchs and ministers is now settled, and the winner has been decided. Needless to say, it is natural that Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, won completely, and the defeat of Emperor Tianwei has been decided.
However, who would have thought that Emperor Tianwei did not stop there, only to see that he ignored Shangguan Qingyun's advice at all, and still continued to drink all the remaining spirits one after another.
It's also a coincidence, after he drank it all, the sandalwood just burned all the sticks, and finally earned back a little face. In any case, Emperor Tianwei also drank eighteen bowls of spirits within the specified time.
After drinking all the last bowl of spirits, I only heard Emperor Tianwei drunken and laughed at himself: "It seems that this is really not good for not accepting old age, I have just reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven (fifty years old), and my body is already greatly inferior to before." If this is left in the past, let alone the eighteen bowls here, or ten bowls and eight bowls, then it is really not a big deal, hehehe. ”
Speaking of this, I only heard him sigh softly, paused slightly, and then continued: "Okay, okay, I'm willing to gamble and lose, from now on, this thousand-year-old ice is your General Zhao's." ”
As he spoke, he really handed the jade plaque to Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, with his own hands, followed by a hearty laugh.
Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, said: "Since this is the case, then my old Zhao will not refuse to come, so I really accept it." Not to mention, it doesn't matter what else does, it seems that my old Zhao's three years of Yulu have finally been saved, hahaha. ”
Who would have thought that this kid would really do what he said, ignoring the eyes of the other three princes next to him, and unceremoniously put the jade pendant into his arms. Fortunately, Emperor Tianwei has an open-minded temperament, and there is no particularly embarrassing situation.
(It is secretly stated in the book: It is precisely this thousand-year-old ice jade pendant that buried the disaster of killing Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, which led to a series of strange changes later.) )
At this moment, Xiahou Zhengjin, the king of Yan, who had always been steady and cautious, seemed to glance at Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, didn't obviously want to speak, he had to cough lightly and said loudly: "Okay, even if this little episode of fighting wine is in the past, Your Majesty is addicted to alcohol, and our General Zhao has also won the lottery, which can really be described as a great joy." ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Yes, this unique opening remark is over, then please ask His Majesty the Emperor to officially show it." No, you summoned all our brothers so excitedly, for today's royal bar. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Don't say it, I really let you Shangguan Brother say it right, this time I summoned all four of your brothers, and it was really just a simple drink to catch up." To tell you the truth, since you four old brothers left the town five years ago, it seems that our brothers really haven't had a good time together. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "This is also true, since the establishment of the Heavenly Empire and the four of us brothers have been divided into four directions, we really haven't had such a leisurely drink as today." Earlier, even if we were ordered to join the Beijing Division, it was just a matter of state, and every time we came and went in a hurry. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Since this is the case, then what else to say, taking advantage of today's rare leisure, our brothers should hurry up and continue to raise their glasses." By the way, the four of you have heard it clearly to me, today we only have the brothers of life and death in the past, and there are no kings and ministers, let alone 'nonsense' about any state affairs. That's the sentence, today our brothers laugh to their heart's content, don't get drunk and don't go home! ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Tianwei's eyes seemed to flash something in an instant.
It's just that no one else noticed it, but at this time, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi who was facing him, really captured this extremely subtle detail of him.
It is precisely because of this that Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, seemed to understand something, and hurriedly laughed casually: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, since that's the case, then what are our brothers polite, let's be lively." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile at Zhao Jin, the king of Chu: "What's the matter, I said General Zhao, are you okay?" Didn't you say just now that you still have to compete with me, come on, let's have a good fight. ”
Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, said: "What, it's okay." I said Brother Shangguan, just throw that 'Ma' word aside! I don't dare to brag to your brother, if you want to say it's about drinking, don't say it's you, even if your remaining two brothers are together, if I Lao Zhao frowns, then he won't be a hero! ”
Yanwang Xiahou Zhengjin said: "I said okay, what's the matter, this is really gasping when you are fat." If you want to talk about kung fu immediately, my surname is Xiahou, and I really don't dare to compete with you kid, but if you want to talk about wine, I'm afraid you kid is really not one. ”
Qin King Song Jie said: "Yes, what Brother Xiahou said is very true, you kid really don't coax him." Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the competition just now, if it weren't for our Emperor His Majesty's intention to let you go, I'm afraid your kid would have stopped eating a long time ago. ”
Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, said: "Come on, come on, brothers, don't blow the atmosphere there, if you have the ability, you can let the horse come." Otherwise, you can do it together, my old Zhao really doesn't believe in this evil today, hum! ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Since our General Zhao is so heroic, then you three virtuous brothers will have a good time fighting him again." Anyway, today I have prepared more than a dozen jars of good wine for you, and you have simply opened up to the competition. Now that I have been defeated by this kid, I can only count on the three virtuous brothers to give me 'revenge and shame', hahaha. ”
