Chapter 83: Li Shimin brings a big gift
The next day, Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin arrived outside the tavern, followed by many people, carrying a large number of gifts in their hands, such as pearls and other things, as well as a large number of silk cloths.
Thanks to Ye Ping this time, otherwise Li Shimin would be in a hurry, and the country might change hands.
"Knowing the ......"
Li Shimin spoke.
"Your Majesty, I know, I won't reveal my identity."
Cheng Yanjin is familiar with the road.
"It's good to know, what is our purpose today, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Li Shimin nodded and walked forward.
And Cheng Yanjin followed him.
They walked the streets and watched people busy with their lives.
Now the entire Chang'an City has also returned to normal.
The streets are full of people, and people's mood is getting better.
Li Shimin's dress was also ordinary, very different from what he wore that day, so it did not attract some unnecessary attention.
In addition, there are not a few similar people in this world, and people would never have thought that it was the emperor walking on Chang'an Avenue.
And every time he came, he cleared the scene in advance, and everyone on the street was an actor and a person in the court.
Ye Ping knew all this.
Otherwise, if an emperor appears here, if some people are bold and unfavorable to him, then he will be finished.
He understands this better than anyone else.
After that, the two of them headed for the tavern.
Before this arrived, Xue Rengui's voice came. "Brother Ye, Lao Li and who are here."
He didn't even want to call Lao Cheng anymore because they were annoying.
And when Ye Ping, who was behind, heard it, he also came out.
"Lao Li, Lao Cheng! Are you here? ”
As soon as he arrived, he said hello.
Li Shimin said: "Yes! Here I go again! ”
Cheng Yanjin also nodded towards him.
Then he greeted the human: "Come on, bring things in." ”
After that, more than a dozen people walked in with large bags and small bags.
This scene made Ye Ping a little surprised, what is this for?
But when I think about it, I seem to be relieved.
That is Li Shimin who came to thank him this time.
If it weren't for his words, the Turks probably wouldn't have retreated so quickly.
"Lao Li, what are you doing here?"
He asked hypocritically.
Li Shimin laughed and said, "This time I'm here to thank you." ”
"Oh?"
"Because you confessed to me yesterday, I told Your Majesty directly, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to adopt it directly, but fortunately, the Turkic army retreated directly, and now Your Majesty has rewarded me, so that my family has received a great favor. So, I thought about it for a moment, and I have to thank you for this. ”
Li Shimin is not good at lying, so when he spoke, his eyes were a little evasive.
Fortunately, he thought that only Cheng Yanjin knew the reason for all this.
"Well, what's so embarrassing? I can't take it! ”
Ye Ping pretended to shirk again.
Cheng Yanjin persuaded him: "Why are you embarrassed? This is given to you by Li Lang, so you can take it. If you don't accept it, then Li Lang will feel uncomfortable in his heart, so take it quickly! ”
"In this case, then I might as well be respectful."
Ye Ping would not be too polite, since someone sent something, then he would accept it.
Li Shimin was dumbfounded, he was still shirking just now, but now he accepted it directly.
It's getting too fast, isn't it?
But he still kept a smile on his face.
"Rengui, you move things inside, and then prepare some wine and food to entertain Lao Li and Lao Cheng."
"Yes, big brother!"
Xue Rengui directly moved things to the backyard.
At this time, Li Shimin kept staring at him.
Then he said: "This Xue Rengui is full of martial arts, why don't you let him serve the court?" ”
This Li Shimin is really a good person, and he even has to poach his own people.
If it was before, or ordinary people might agree directly, because entering the imperial court is a glorious thing.
But now, Ye Ping will not let Xue Rengui out. Isn't it good to follow him? Is it bad to be your own bodyguard?
Xue Rengui will not be an official alone, unless Ye Ping takes him.
"Rengui is the same as me, he is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and he can't stand too many constraints, so he has no fate with officials. At least that's how we're feeling right now. Lao Li, don't say it after that, I don't like to hear it! ”
Ye Ping didn't care about the other party's performance, and directly asked him not to talk about it next time, unless he wanted to make Ye Ping angry.
As soon as he said this, Li Shimin didn't say anything anymore. I'm embarrassed to say it, he has already offered to make them officials more than once.
Ye Ping didn't kill him with a stick, his current mood is like this, it doesn't mean that in the future, he will figure it out one day.
And when they sat down together.
Li Shimin said again: "By the way, Brother Ye actually drank some yesterday because of your wine, so I had the courage to mention that incident to Your Majesty, that wine is really a good thing, but unfortunately the quantity is too small, yesterday I was happy and drank them all directly." ”
The meaning of Li Shimin's words is obvious.
That is, yesterday, he drank wine before he dared to face the Turkic khan, so he would be so arrogant? Wine is a really good thing, and a moderate amount of it can strengthen your courage, which is very good.
Then, yesterday they celebrated because the Turks retreated, and that little bit of liquor was really not enough to drink. There was no one person and a small glass, and Ye Ping didn't expect his wine to play such a role.
Listening to Li Shimin's words, he knew that this guy came to ask again today, and he must have asked for wine.
Sure enough, Li Shimin saw that Ye Ping did not reply to him directly.
Then he said, "So, I would like to ask if there is any wine, even if it is a small pot." ”
"Lao Li, you are not a good drinker."
Ye Ping said.
Li Shimin said a little embarrassed.
"Actually, it's the relationship between my father."
Li Shimin's father?
Isn't that Li Yuan? That's the existence of the Emperor.
It is conceivable that he and Li Yuan drank a lot of wine yesterday, because he solved Li Yuan's previous troubles.
So the two fathers and sons drank together, on the one hand, it was to show off that Li Shimin was the emperor. In order to prove that you can.
On the other hand, it's just for the sake of celebrating. Datang will be even stronger.
Therefore, he brought gifts today, most of them were also for asking for wine, and the other half was to thank Ye Ping.
This Li Shimin is really shrewd.
Li Shimin kept staring at Ye Ping with his two eyes, for fear that he would say no.
So I added another sentence.
"No matter how much it is, I can buy it!"
Ye Ping thought to himself, yesterday's 100,000 stone of salt has not been resolved, so he should take this opportunity to sell it well.
So he spoke.
