The first batch of distilled liquor has been smoothly handed over to the Ministry of War, and the price is much higher than Li Zhonghua's estimate, 3,000 wen yuan per bucket, especially distilled high liquor, which is specially used for medical disinfection in the army, and the price is as high as 5,000 wen yuan a bucket.

Before the acquaintance, Li Zhonghua was summoned by Li Shimin to the palace to review the condition of the eldest grandson.

Li Zhonghua brought a wagon of distilled liquor into the palace and gave it to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, telling them that drinking some high-strength wine properly will help the qi and blood to flourish, which is good for the body, and also helps to drive away the cold.

However, the eldest grandson queen is recovering from her illness, and it is not suitable to drink alcohol for the time being, only suitable for eating some light food, usually drinking a little more boiled water, eating some fruits with more water such as pears, greasy food, including fish and shrimp, and try to eat as little as possible.

At that time, Li Zhonghua only knew some basic knowledge about medical skills, so the follow-up or something was purely a formality.

As for saving the eldest grandson queen from danger, it was entirely due to intravenous infusion and penicillin, and Li Zhonghua also had the idea of trying to raise it at that time, and the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor.

He believed that these words, the imperial doctors in the palace had already said them, and saying it again was nothing more than a process, so he couldn't be stupid and not say anything.

Li Shimin nodded, although these words were also said by the imperial doctor in the palace, but when they came out of Li Zhonghua's mouth, he felt different, and it also reassured him even more.

"These new wines are of great use to the imperial court, I will order the military department to purchase a large number of them, but at this price, you can't ask for too much money, the imperial court needs money everywhere now, but it's not rich!"

Li Shimin was worried that Li Zhonghua would open his mouth, so he had to call out for poverty in front of Li Zhonghua first.

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and His Majesty can call the shots on the price. Your Majesty only needs to let the minister earn some hardship, after all, there are still a hundred and ten mouths to eat in the minister's house. ”

The dignified emperors are all called poor, what can Li Zhonghua do? It's impossible to oppose it, so I just say a little hard and beautiful words.

"A good country rises and falls, and the husband has a rule. I didn't misunderstand you. Li Shimin smiled happily.

"Your Majesty, the man in Shuangliu County is an honest child at first glance, you can't bully others too much, he is the life-saving benefactor of the concubine!"

The more Empress Changsun looked at Li Zhonghua, the more pleasing she felt, and she smiled on the side and shouted for Li Zhonghua.

"You see, even the queen is talking to you, and the queen's health will be handed over to you in the future."

"Thank you for the love of the queen." Li Zhonghua said a little shyly.

"Hmmm! I once said that as long as Aiqing can save the queen, I will allow you to make three requests, and now you can say what you want to ask. ”

"Treating the queen's mother is what the minister should do, how dare the minister put forward any conditions, please take it back from Your Majesty!" Li Zhonghua said modestly.

"This is a son of heaven, Chrysostom Yuyan, how can there be a reason to take back what you say, if you have any conditions, hurry up and mention it, if you really can't think of it, just wait until you think about it."

"Since Your Majesty insists on this, the minister will make a request." Li Zhonghua said with joy in his heart.

"On the way to Beijing this time, he and His Royal Highness the King of Shu were attacked by unknown forces and almost lost their lives.

Fortunately, there were ten courtesans who risked death to save them as gifts from His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu had a chance, and they were able to survive until the timely rescue of General Dugu.

The minister once promised to help them get rid of their slavery, as the saying goes, the grace of saving lives should be repaid by a spring, and His Majesty is asked to fulfill the minister's heart of repaying the kindness. ”

"Do you know what their father was guilty of? I didn't punish his whole clan, I have already opened up to them, and after the accident, Hugh Ti, you have changed a condition! Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, although their fathers made a big mistake, they were only a few years old at the time, they were innocent, since Your Majesty didn't have the heart to kill them in the first place, why can't you give them back their freedom now?

No matter how wrong their parents were, they also made great contributions to the establishment of Datang, and it was enough to offset the merits. Li Zhonghua argued.

"Merit is merit, fault is fault, what they have committed is a great crime of rebellion, how can they offset it?"

"But they saved the life of the queen mother, shouldn't Your Majesty reward them?"

"You ......, the queen mother was saved by you, I have already named you a man in Shuangliu County, and promised you three requests." Li Shimin pointed at Li Zhonghua angrily and said.

"Your Majesty's golden mouth, but you can't even meet a request from your minister."

"Good! I will fulfill all three of your requests, but you have to think clearly, one request can only pardon one person, and you can only pardon three people at most. ”

"Your Majesty! This is a request from the minister, how can only three people be pardoned? ”

"No, the minister promised 10 of them, they all contributed to save the minister and His Royal Highness the King of Shu, they are all the saviors of the minister and His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

"Presumptuous, who gave you the power to defy me!" Li Shimin angrily wanted to beat Li Zhonghua violently.

"Your Majesty said that Chrysostom said." Li Zhonghua is also out of the way.

"Your Majesty! What's going on with those courtesans, and what's going on with Ke'er and Li Xiannan almost dying? ”

Empress Eldest Sun was confused when she heard this, and when she saw that the two were arguing with each other, she hurriedly interjected and asked.

Li Shimin didn't hide anything anymore, and told everything that happened during this time.

"Your Majesty, so much time has passed, they were indeed very young at that time, and their ancestors were indeed meritorious people to the Tang Dynasty, so it is better to pardon their slaves."

Empress Eldest Sun was Li Zhonghua who saved her life, and she also empathized with and understood the feelings of wanting to repay the favor of those who had saved her life, and she also had a good impression of Li Zhonghua, so she naturally wanted to help him.

"No! They all have martial arts, and once they regain their freedom, it is difficult not to have any changes. Li Shimin still disagreed.

"The concubines have the idea of having the best of both worlds, since their master and servant have a deep friendship, it is better to let them stay in the Shuangliu County men's mansion after recovering their good fortunes, and promise to marry the Li County man as a concubine, so that if they are restless in the future, the Li County man will not be able to escape the responsibility." Empress Eldest Sun suddenly proposed.

"Isn't that too cheap, you stinky boy?" Li Shimin felt a little sour in his heart and said very uncomfortably.

"Your Majesty has already given them to Li Xiannan, and if they were cheap, they would have been cheap for him a long time ago." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"No! It's still too cheap, kid, I can agree to your request, but I also have conditions. "The anger in Li Shimin's heart has not disappeared!

"As long as Your Majesty agrees to this condition, the minister is willing to agree to any condition of Your Majesty." Li Zhonghua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with great joy in his heart.

"You said this yourself, and my condition is that all other demands are canceled, and your title of Shuangliu County Baron will be revoked. With the exception of these ten courtesans, all your rewards will be withdrawn, and you may agree. ”
