Chapter 58: The Opening of the Altar

The autumn mood of Chang'an City is getting stronger and stronger.

After the school examination was over, Li Shimin was busy with the affairs of the court again.

He had just ascended the throne, and there were many things in the court, and he did not dare to slack off at all.

On this day, he was in the imperial study to review the folds, and before he knew it, he forgot to eat lunch.

The palace people outside wanted to admonish, but they were a little afraid.

"Haven't you had lunch yet?"

Empress Changsun came to the outside of the imperial study and asked the eunuch in charge of Li Shimin's imperial meal, and the eunuch nodded: "Queen Mother, the saint hasn't had lunch yet, he is busy, and the slave is afraid that after entering, he will be reprimanded by the saint." ”

disturbed Li Shimin's matter, Li Shimin would really reprimand, they had a similar experience before, so they were a little scared.

Seeing this, Empress Eldest Sun waved her hand and said, "Heat up the food and bring it in." ”

After speaking, the eldest grandson queen entered the imperial study, and when the palace people saw this, they didn't dare to stay, so they hurriedly went down to order.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin is still writing something hard.

After he had finished reviewing a notebook, Empress Eldest Sun spoke, "Holy Lord." ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and looked up to enter the eldest grandson queen, a little surprised.

"Why is the queen here?"

"It's already past noon, and the Holy One hasn't eaten yet, if I don't come again, when are you going to eat?"

Empress Changsun's words carried a hint of reproach, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that only Empress Changsun dared to talk to Li Shimin like this.

Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, and then he realized that it was indeed past lunch time, and he smiled helplessly.

"There are too many things, I forget about it when I'm busy, has the queen eaten it?"

"After eating, I have already ordered someone to ask the palace people to heat the food for you, you can wait."

Speaking of this, Empress Changsun suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, today seems to be the time for those beauties to get drunk and open the altars, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin was really interested, if the wax sealing method really worked, then winemaking can save a lot of food, which is another credit to Datang.

"Let's go, let's see."

Li Shimin took the eldest grandson to the wine cellar.

After entering, Li Shimin ordered someone to open an altar of beauty drunk first.

When the jar is opened, the aroma of wine spreads, and you don't need to taste it to know that the jar is a success.

Li Shimin nodded: "Keep going." ”

Soon, the second altar of beauty drunk opened, which was also good.

Then came the third day, the fourth altar......

opened the wine jar in a row, and the beauty of this wine jar is drunk.

At this time, Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun were already shocked.

This wine production rate has reached 90%, far exceeding the highest wine production rate they know.

They don't need to open the last jar now, and they should also believe that Qin Rou is right, their Qin Ji Distillery does not have unlimited winemaking.

They just make the wine more efficient.

"Holy Lord, is this last altar still open?" A palace person asked, and Li Shimin said: "Open, take a look." ”

Although he had already confirmed that Qin Rou was right, he still wanted to know if the wine in the last jar was good.

The palace people received the order and opened the last jar of wine, and after the last jar of wine was opened, the aroma of the wine in it immediately floated out.

Li Shimin was shocked.

"Okay, it's all good, this wine rate is really against the sky."

"Yes, Holy Lord, with this wax sealing method, our Datang liquor will waste a lot less food."

Li Shimin nodded: "That's right, that's right, this Cui Shaoqing has impressed me one after another, I am becoming more and more curious about him, it seems that it is time for him to enter the palace." ”

He really wants to meet Cui Shaoqing now, because this Cui Shaoqing can always bring him some shock and surprise.

And at this time, a palace man hurriedly ran over and said, "Holy Lord, Lord Eldest Sun asks to see." ”

"Oh, the auxiliary machine is here, let him in."

The palace people retreated, and after a while, the eldest grandson Wuji walked in, and as soon as he came in, he smelled the aroma of wine inside.

"I really want this wine, but it's a good wine treasured by the Holy One?"

The eldest grandson Wuji rarely made a joke, Li Shimin laughed: "What kind of treasure is there, this is the beauty drunk made by Qin Rou a few days ago, just opened it, I haven't had time to taste it, you are here with the auxiliary machine, come, let's all taste it, this is the wine made from ten jars." ”

"Ten altars have been brewed?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked, he naturally knew what this result meant.

Li Shimin nodded: "The ten altars are brewed, after we taste them, we will talk about other things." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded, and soon, each of them poured a glass of wine, Li Shimin raised his glass, and then everyone drank it.

After drinking this wine, Li Shimin felt that the aroma of wine was permeated between his mouths, and the whole person felt comfortable.

"Good wine, really good wine."

After the eldest grandson Wuji tasted it, he couldn't help but praise it at first, he had drunk a lot of good wine, but this beauty was drunk, no worse than the good wine he had drunk.

Li Shimin smiled: "It's indeed good wine, I've been frugal during this time, but it's rare to drink such good wine, this Cui Shaoqing is really a capable person, not only has the wine production rate been improved, but the wine is so good, I'm ready to reward him, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji put down the wine glass, and his expression became a little solemn.

"It's better for the saint to listen to the minister's investigation and then decide whether to reward Cui Shaoqing."

At this time, Li Shimin remembered that he had asked his eldest grandson Wuji to investigate Cui Shaoqing's situation, and he came today for this matter.

"Oh, the auxiliary machine has found something different?"

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled lightly and said: "This Cui Shaoqing's identity is a bit unusual, his father is from the Boling Cui family, but later because of a woman, he fell out with the Cui family, so he eloped with the woman and went to Yizhou to settle down, although Cui Shaoqing has now cut off relations and contacts with the Boling Cui family, but after all, he is from the Boling Cui family, maybe one day, he will recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." ”

Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji paused, and then continued: "This Cui Shaoqing is so talented, but he did not make the slightest achievement in Chang'an City in the first half of the year, and he fell behind, because Cui Renshi of the Cui family was an obstacle from it, and he didn't want him to have the opportunity to become an official, he was afraid that Cui Shaoqing would seize the position he now had in the Cui family, after all, if it wasn't for Cui Shaoqing's father eloped, Cui Renshi's status should have been Cui Shaoqing's father's. ”。

"In addition, the minister also needs to tell the saint something, a few days ago, Cui Shaoqing came to the Yiguo Mansion and took Cheng Chumo to smash a jade shop called Cuilufang, and that shop belonged to the Cui family."

The eldest grandson Wuji said a lot in one breath, and after Li Shimin listened, his expression changed slightly.
