Chapter 108: Spirits

In the following days, after Li Shimin devoted himself to his favorite hunting activities, he never paid attention to the situation on the side of the wounded barracks.

It is so much fun to gallop on a horse and shoot arrows with a bow every day.

Li Lao Er indulged in ancient shooting games every day, and basically exhausted the energy of his forties during the day, and went to bed to sleep when he went back to eat at night, and had no time to take care of his younger brother's career as a doctor......

Oh yes, it's not like I can't remember my brother at all.

In fact, when he occasionally has a good time, especially when he sees those teenage young people roaring around and competing for their prey, Li Shimin can't help but think of the old eleven who has been nesting in his camp tent for several days in a row and hardly going out.

Every time I think about it, my heart has to explode.

Our old Li family is a meritorious service of the times, and he was born immediately, why did he come up with such a thing?

Although his eldest leg and feet are not good, and the second child is too fat to ride a horse, he still has a heart for martial arts after all, and he can also pull up a bow and shoot a few arrows on weekdays. But this old eleven would rather stay in the camp and read a book than go out on horseback and hunt - this feeling is simply maddening.

If it weren't for reason telling Li Shimin that such an old eleven is a good prince, he would really have the heart to clean him up!

But......

This thought only turned for a few seconds, and Li Er's attention was immediately attracted by the prey that appeared in front of him.

Hey!

Of course, since he came to Shiping, even if he came specifically for hunting, Li Shimin would not give up putting on a show, let alone ignoring the opportunity to buy people's hearts. A few days after the winter hunt began, and after accumulating some prey, a grand banquet was held, and the elders of the gentry clan of Shiping were invited to participate.

According to their age, status, etc., the elderly over the age of 60 are rewarded with different levels.

Most of them are corn and cloth, which is very affordable.

And when the time came to the nineteenth, Li Shimin finally stopped killing wild animals and rested in his camp for a day.

In fact, except for those young people who are so energetic that they can recover their energy after a good night's sleep, many of the other ministers who accompanied the emperor on this trip have already begun to rest from their drinks two days ago.

The body is old, and I can't bear it.

Li Shimin is a relatively big addiction to hunting, and he has never stopped, and he can't help but go out and shoot a few prey every day. However, age is not forgiving, after all, he is in his early forties; Second, it rained lightly early this morning, the weather was wet and cold, and Li Shimin didn't dare to die.

This year, let alone October, not many people dare to get wet in the rain even in the summer.

So after getting up in the morning and taking a look, the emperor could only choose a truce. Fortunately, he shot wild boars and sika deer every day, and Li Er was too addicted, so since he was going to rest on this day, he simply ordered someone to prepare some good wine and food, and called out some old guys who accompanied him.

Drinking wine and eating meat, singing and dancing, having fun?

If Li Yuanjia also participated in this banquet, if he saw this scene, his face would definitely be dark, and his stomach would be churning - no way, a group of old guys hugged each other and sang and danced, that scene was really spicy.

But there is no way, who makes everyone good in this era?

Not to mention this kind of banquet with a strong entertainment nature, even at the annual Yuan Day of the Great Court Meeting, the ministers also have to dance the "Zhongzi Dance" in the palace...... must jump, if you don't jump, you are detached from the masses and disloyal to Datang!

Anyway, when he participated in the Great Dynasty Meeting for the first time, Li Yuanjia's worldview was extremely seriously impacted!

Think about it, just like the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, especially the usually serious Wei Zheng, they all have to dance in the main hall, and they have to sing while dancing, the shock of that situation to people's hearts is indescribable......

Far from it.

The more the song is sung, the more energetic the dance, the more happy the dance, and slowly everyone has fun.

Li Shimin was originally the kind of lively character, and as soon as he was excited, he loved to hold his big cup and drink with his courtiers, so in his "drinking victory", the wine brewed in the palace disappeared.

It is difficult to drink the top wine in the palace every day, and the ministers are also very happy to drink it.

It's just that after going down to more than a dozen altars, there is one person who is a little dissatisfied.

Cheng Zhijie, who had drunk a little too much, couldn't help muttering after drinking a bowl of wine again: "Hey, it's really boring......

"Cheng Aiqing, what's boring?"

Li Shimin, who happened to be next to him, heard this sentence and asked curiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks this wine is boring!"

Cheng Zhijie was not afraid that the emperor would be angry, and said with a smile: "Although the taste is first-class, how can I say it...... It's so bland! ”

"Bland?"

After listening to his words, Li Shimin was stunned.

"That's right, bland!"

Nodding, Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "Lao Chen didn't think it before, but since he tasted the wine brewed by Han Wangfu...... Alas, drinking other sake always feels that the taste is not strong enough! ”

"The spirits of the Han Palace? It's the Wing Country Gong ......"

"Ahem!"

As soon as the words of the person next to him began, Cheng Zhijie hurriedly coughed the two of them, and the other party swallowed the back part.

Glancing at the man, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

Qin Huaidao asked King Han for spirits and wanted to use it to treat his father's illness, of course Li Shimin also knew, and he knew the ins and outs very well. So he naturally knew that this actually had nothing to do with Li Yuanjia at all, it was just Qin Huaidao's kid who died by himself.

It's just that he can't stop it.

Fortunately, after seeing the emperor's expression, Cheng Zhijie knew it in his heart, and immediately laughed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has drunk a few jars of liquor from the Han Wangfu, and the taste is the most suitable for autumn and winter, but unfortunately the king of Han did not bring it this time, otherwise, if you can have a glass of spirits in this weather today, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

Knowing that Cheng Zhijie was doing this on purpose, so that people would know that King Han's spirits had nothing to do with Qin Qiong's color, Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, it's not too late to drink it when you return to Chang'an...... Well? ”

Halfway through his words, Li Shimin was suddenly stunned.

He just remembered one thing, that is, Li Yuanjia had told him that he planned to sell spirits and tea to the Turks and break through!

Is this weather good for drinking spirits?

Will the Turks in the bitter cold land in the north and the Tibetan region on the plateau really like the spirits made by Li Yuanjia? If that were the case, the liquor would have healed wounds, and could have been exchanged for cattle and horses from the Turks and Tibetans......

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Li Shimin's eyes flickered frequently.
