Chapter 120: Drinking

Luoyang Imperial Palace, in the temporary palace where Li Zhi lived, Li Zhi was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard.

"His Royal Highness King Jin! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is heading here! The chamberlain trotted over and saluted.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up to greet the prince! Li Zhi looked up and said.

As soon as Li Zhi's voice fell, before the chamberlain could answer, a shout came: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”

Li Zhi hurriedly got up to greet him, and arched his hand: "Big brother, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince (King Jin)!" Wang Quan and Li Zhi's chamberlains hurriedly saluted each other's masters.

"I happened to be passing by here today, so I came in to see you, how are you feeling better?" Li Chengqian said with concern.

"It's been so much better lately! There is Brother Lao who cares! Li Zhi said.

"That's good! Look good at your complexion today! I'm sure you're recovering well these days! That way, I'm relieved! Li Chengqian said.

The two came to the pavilion and sat down, while Wang Quan and the chamberlain waited outside the pavilion.

"Childish slave! The weather has been getting a little cooler lately, so you should pay more attention to your body, but don't get sick again, so that my father and I don't have to worry about you. Li Chengqian said.

Now that autumn is beginning to begin, the weather is gradually getting colder, so Li Chengqian casually reminded a few words.

"Thank you for your care! When it's cold, I'll add clothes. Li Zhi said.

"That's right! I asked the imperial chef to cook some of your favorite dishes and scalded a pot of wine, how about you and my brother have a drink today? Li Chengqian said.

Drinking is a way to connect feelings, wine is the bond of communication, the best lubricant for interpersonal relationships, in the glass change, between the staggered to shorten the distance between each other, deepen the relationship.

As the saying goes, "It's easy to do things at the wine table." ”

"Good! Then I'll be respectful and obey! Li Zhi smiled.

It's been a long time since he's drunk with his big brother!

Drinking a pot of wine can bring their brothers closer, and if one pot is not enough, another pot of wine will be served.

"Wang Quan, serve the snacks!" Li Chengqian greeted Wang Quan, who was standing outside the pavilion.

"No!" Wang Quan received the order, turned around and waved to the palace maids, and the palace maids came over, opened the food box in their hands, and put the wine and food in front of Li Chengqian and Li Zhi.

On the stone table, there was a vegetarian dish and three meat dishes, and a pair of chopsticks and a wine glass were placed in front of the two of them.

Li Chengqian dismissed the palace maids, personally picked up the wine jug, and poured a glass of wine for Li Zhi and him.

"Come, I salute you with this glass of wine, and I wish you good health all your life!" Li Chengqian raised his glass and drank it all, full of the love of the eldest brother for his younger brother.

"Brother Xie!" Li Zhi also drank it all, feeling the love from Li Chengqian, Li Zhi's heart was warm, and he almost burst into tears.

"Come, don't just drink, eat food! This is my newly hired imperial chef who cooks it himself, how about you taste it? It can also be tasted with you. ”

Li Chengqian reached out and picked up the chopsticks on the table, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing.

"Hmmm! It tastes superb! I really envy that the eldest brother can have such a good imperial chef in his hands. Li Zhi ate a piece of meat, and was immediately conquered by the deliciousness of the meat, and praised it.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Li Chengqian said.

"How good I am to win people's love! Forget it! Besides, I don't have a shortage of cooks here! Li Zhi shook his head, the food made by this chef is indeed delicious! But not so much that he had to!

Li Chengqian didn't say anything more, raised his glass and clinked glasses with Li Zhi again.

The two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatted for a while, and then turned the topic to Zhang Jian.

"The young slave knows this frugality!" Li Chengqian said.

"Zhang Jian is not the vanguard sent by his father to crusade against Goguryeo, his father sent someone to summon him to Luoyang a few days ago, and he only arrived in Luoyang yesterday, why did the eldest brother suddenly mention this person?" Li Zhidao.

"Then do you know why my father summoned him to Luoyang?" Li Chengqian said.

"I heard that it seems that Zhang Jian was afraid of the enemy, and his father was furious, so he was recalled to ask for the crime! I never thought that my Datang would have such a cowardly general, it's really hateful! Li Zhi said dissatisfied.

"Child, you're wrong! When my father asked Zhang Jian yesterday, I happened to be there, Zhang Jian was not a cowardly person, but the Liao River was rising, which made it impossible for the soldiers to cross the river. ”

"You also know that these soldiers are all cavalry, and they are not familiar with water at all, and the Liao River is rising, even if they are water-permeable, they may not dare to forcibly cross the river, let alone these soldiers." Li Chengqian said.

"I see, but I blamed Zhang Jian by mistake, but what happened to this Zhang Jian?" Li Zhi asked.

Although Zhang Jian had a reason, it was also a fact that he delayed the fighter plane, and he would inevitably be punished.

"Later, Zhang Jian presented a piece of information about the mountains, rivers and fields of Liaodong to his father, and after his father read it, he was very happy, not only did he not punish Zhang Jian."

"He also appointed Zhang Jian as the head of the march, let Zhang Jian lead the Zhufan cavalry, as the vanguard of the Sixth Army, and his father ordered Zhang Jian to attack all the way from Xincheng." Li Chengqian said as he poured wine.

"Speaking of which, you and I are relatives."

"The eldest brother said that this Zhang Jian is related to my royal family! Why don't I know? Li Zhi wondered.

Li Chengqian raised his glass and clinked glasses with Li Zhi, drank it all and said: "Our family has many relatives, Zhang Jian's grandfather is the brother of the first emperor, it is you and I from my grandfather, but he has not been in contact with us for a long time. ”

"I saw this grandfather once when I was young, and there was no you at that time, and the green finch was still in swaddling clothes, and you didn't know that yes is normal."

"Since it's a relative, why don't you move around more, so that you won't be divided!" Li Zhi said.

"You're right! It's just that our grandfather had a relationship with the eldest Boduo, but he had a close relationship, and since the change of Xuanwumen, he resigned and went into hiding, and was not born. Li Chengqian said.

Needless to say, Li Zhi can also understand that after the Xuanwumen Change, their grandfather had a close relationship with their uncle, which was worried that His Majesty Li Er would settle accounts after the autumn.

I had to come up with a way to protect myself, and I never had anything to do with Li Er's family from now on.

"Come on! Don't talk about these old things! We drink! Li Chengqian raised his glass and said.

The two drank again, and Li Zhi couldn't help but talk to Li Chengqian about the hidden prince Li Jianchenglai, most of whom Li Chengqian was talking about, and Li Zhi was listening.

When the Xuanwumen Incident occurred, Li Chengqian was still young, and Li Zhi didn't even have a shadow, let alone anything else.

These are all things that have become a mess, and Li Chengqian has almost forgotten them! Where will I remember so much detail.

It's just a story, and Li Zhi just listens to it as a story.

Just talk about the two brothers, but they don't dare to say it casually to outsiders.
