Chapter 36: The Emperor

The eldest grandson Wuji went out of the palace gate, and there was a small yellow door leading him to a resting place. Halfway through, the eldest grandson Wuji looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he stopped the little yellow door. took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "This little father-in-law, I don't know something, and I hope to solve my doubts." ”

"Oh, this can be a pain in the slave and maid, what does Uncle Guo want to know, just ask the slave and maid, how dare the slave and maid collect Uncle Guo's money!" Having said that, the little father-in-law's hand stretched out, and he was not half embarrassed to take the money. After entering the palace, it is no longer a whole person, and it is impossible to get out of the palace wall in this life, and the remaining desires are only this yellow and white thing, and the people in the outer court want to inquire about the inner court, so they have to bribe a little, which is also an unspoken rule in this palace. Characters like the eldest grandson Wuji, if they don't give money, Xiaohuangmen doesn't dare not answer, but after all, the answer is all based on one-mindedness, if you don't give money, I will say that I don't know, or if I lie, no one can do anything. In order to get the true news, even the eldest grandson Wuji is no exception, and they all have to take money.

The eldest grandson Wuji understood these rules and said with a smile: "The little father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, it's not a big deal, I just want to know, where did Li Siwen buy the wine he brought today, and there is only one altar in the palace?" Truth be told, this wine tastes so good that I want to buy some for the guests. ”

"This is not easy to do, there is indeed only this altar, and the slave maid moved from the Shangshi Bureau just now. The origin of this wine is indeed a tribute from Grandpa Li. It is said to be brewed in a local liquor shop in Dingxiang, and the shopkeeper's surname is Bai, a family heirloom. The local people call his family's liquor 'liquor', and that's all the slave knows. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji had already gotten what he wanted to know, nodded, and said, "Then thank you little father-in-law." ”

"Well said, well said. Uncle Guo please. Xiao Huangmen answered, stretched out his hand to signal, and then walked ahead again to lead the way.

Li Shimin would order someone to send wine to the Taiji Palace in the middle of the night, because he knew that at this time, the Taiji Palace would inevitably be in charge of the lamp. His old father, Emperor Li Yuan, definitely didn't sleep at this time. Li Shimin didn't sleep in the middle of the night to read the playbook, while Li Yuan didn't sleep because he was busy indulging in joy. He is old, and he has long been unable to do things between men and women, but the joy of men is not in this matter. He is too busy to work, but he can still see and listen. As soon as the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, the young concubines swayed, gentle, and drank a few glasses of wine, as if they were drunk but not drunk, half-dreaming and half-awake, when they were slightly drunk, they seemed to live in a fairyland, and they could temporarily forget about the mortal world.

Tonight, it was another sleepless night, and Li Yuanxinna's two concubines, from Jiangnan, were especially good at singing and dancing. In addition, he has a smart temperament and knows how to coax people, which makes Li Yuan very happy, and this happiness is terrible, and the banquet is set up. It was inconvenient to invite guests at night, so Li Yuan asked the eunuch to change into court clothes, acting as a civil and military officer of the Manchu Dynasty, pretending to be on this Taiji Palace, like a monkey and a crown, and playing tricks.

"Report ...... Emperor Taishang, the head of the East Palace, Gonggong Gao, asked to see him, saying that he had a good wine and wanted to dedicate it to the Emperor. ”

"Hah! Wine? Li Yuan half-opened his eyes, sat up with the help of his concubine, and said with a sneer: "Could it be a poisonous bar, Li Lao Er hates me and doesn't die, and finally can't help it?" Good! I brought the wine as he wished, and I drank it! ”

Who dared to answer such words, the eunuch who reported the news knew that Li Yuan had drunk too much again, so he didn't dare to talk, pretended not to hear, turned around and went out and brought the wine.

Li Yuan grabbed a wine cup, poured the wine full, and opened his mouth to take a big sip!

After taking a big sip of wine, Li Yuan's cloudy old eyes suddenly lit up, and he held his breath for a while before he breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking up at the singing and dancing in the hall again, somehow, I suddenly felt bored.

When a man is in the world, how can he be immersed in this pink fireworks, drunk and golden.

Recalling that year, the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the heroes rose together, Taiyuan raised troops, and conquered various places, how many heroes were like a cloud of smoke, and today it has belonged to Li Tang. The heroes of that generation have all fallen. Only the Turks have not yet been pacified, and the Tang army is also fighting with it, and I heard that the army is invincible and will triumph in a few days.

To say that the hatred between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks did not start with the alliance of the bridge.

At the beginning of Li Yuan's army, Jieli Khan had just ascended the throne, when the Turkic soldiers were strong and strong, wantonly invaded Taiyuan, and even directly sent people to ask for property. Pai Yuwen Xin groveled, paid tribute to Jieli Khan, and ceded the land of Yuzhong. In the third year of Wude, Jieli Khan suddenly attacked the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan initially decided the world, but his foothold was not stable, so he had to send an envoy to beg for mercy again and bribe him with money. In the following year, Jieli Khan attacked Yanmen, captured Hanyang Gong Su Gui, Taichangqing Zheng Yuanxuan, Zuo Xiaowei General Changsun Shunde, etc., led his troops to invade Daizhou, defeated Wang Xiaoji, the head of the march, slightly took Hedong, invaded Yuanzhou, and crossed the fortress of Yanzhou. Thousands of miles away, invincible, plundered. In the fifth year of Wude, Jieli Khan Liu Heimin jointly besieged Xincheng, and then attacked Xinzhou. After that, he entered Yanmen, besieged and merged with the state, plundered Fen, Lu and other states, plundered more than 5,000 men and women, and divided thousands of men and horses to plunder the Yuan, Ling and other states, and the lives were devastated.

Sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth years of martial arts......

Even, in order to avoid Jieli Khan, Li Yuan even thought about moving the capital, so he sent people to Fan, Deng and other places to inspect, and the ministers also agreed, and at that time, it was Li Shimin who opposed the relocation of the capital.

Li Yuan still remembers what Li Shimin said at the time: "Yidi has been a border trouble in China since ancient times, and I have never heard of the Zhou and Han dynasties moving their capitals because of this." Hopefully give me a few years, and I'll definitely get it. ”

He didn't break his promise, this biggest side trouble, Li Yuan's humiliated and helpless opponent, was finally about to lose in his hands!

The past was vivid, Li Yuan suddenly stood up, dropped the wine cup, and shouted: "Take the halberd!" ”

Gong E, the eunuch waiting beside him, was stunned for a moment, and Li Yuan shouted again, "Take my halberd!" I'm going to dance! Play for me - King Qin's breaking array music! ”

"Quick, go get the halberd!" The waiting eunuchs finally reacted, and several little eunuchs trotted to carry Li Yuan's halberd, which had not been touched for many years. Li Yuan held the halberd in his hand and went to the ground, the sonorous Qin King's breaking array music sounded, and Li Yuan waved the halberd, slowly, but very powerfully.

After a dance, Li Yuan threw away the halberd, laughed, called Gao Gonggong in, and said: "You go and pass the word to Li Er, if he can capture Jieli and let him dance for me in public, I will forgive him for all his mistakes, drink this wine with him, and rest when he gets drunk!" ”

When Gonggong Gao heard this, he was overjoyed, and he knelt on the ground and shouted, "Emperor Xie! ”

"Go, I'm tired today, let's all disperse!" Li Yuan waved his hand, and the high prince announced that he would retreat, and suddenly Li Yuan stopped him, raised his hand and pointed at the wine jar, and said, "Who is that, this wine is good, send a few more jars!" ”

"Nuo ......" Gao Gonggong was stunned, and he didn't dare to say that there was only this altar, which ruined Li Yuan's interest, so he had to come down, thinking that he would go back to tell Li Shimin the good news first, and as for the wine, he would just find a way.
