Chapter 145: Uncle and Nephew Meet
"Your Highness, you're drunk, why don't you go to the guest room and take a rest!" Li Xiu looked at Li Shimin, who was drunk and hazy in front of him, and opened his mouth to persuade, now Li Shimin has begun to speak at a loss, and he dares to say anything outside, Li Xiu is afraid that if he says something dissatisfied with Li Yuan again, it will not end well.

"I'm not drunk!" Li Shimin said something that drunk people like to say, and then poured another sip of wine and said loudly, "This time I desperately killed Tuyuhun, I thought that my father would pay more attention to me, in fact, I also got the news, my father actually increased the amount of review of the folds, which made me very happy, thinking that my father had withdrawn some of the power in the hands of the eldest brother, and my heart began to favor me, so I kept hurrying day and night, and ran into the palace in the early hours of this morning, but ......"
When he said this, Li Shimin pointed at Li Xiu with a wine glass with a sad and indignant face: "But what I didn't expect was that my father's increase in the review of the folds was only because the third sister gave him a pair of reading glasses, which alleviated his eye disease, don't tell me you don't know about reading glasses!" β
"Huh?" Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that he had made a pair of reading glasses for Li Yuan, and it would have such a big impact on Li Shimin, and even he could imagine that Li Shimin would jump up happily when he knew that Li Yuan had withdrawn part of the power in Li Jiancheng's hands, but unfortunately in the end it was empty joy, that kind of huge gap is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear, even with Li Shimin's temperament, he will come here to drink wine in the end.
Seeing that Li Xiu didn't speak, the drunk Li Shimin also smiled helplessly, in fact, he also knew that Li Xiu couldn't be blamed for this matter, after all, people didn't do anything wrong at all, strictly speaking, he not only helped himself, but also relieved his father's illness, no matter what, he had to thank him, but today's incident really made him feel too aggrieved.
Thinking of the above, Li Shimin couldn't control himself, and began to pour wine into his mouth constantly, Li Xiu on the other side looked at him and shook his head helplessly again, in fact, Li Shimin was really pitiful, he tried his best to please his father for the throne, but unfortunately because of his natural disadvantage, he was always pressed by his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, and only in the end did he take the risk to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, no matter how hard he tried to be a good emperor later, but the matter of killing his brother and father still became a stain that he could not wash away in his life.
Li Shimin was in a bad mood, and drank cup after cup, and finally got drunk and couldn't get up anymore on the table, Li Xiu knew that it was a result, and immediately came outside to call a few of Li Shimin's guards, and asked them to help carry Li Shimin to the guest room to rest, and by the way, he took off the armor on his body, this thing is heavy and strong, and Li Xiu himself really can't untie it.
Drunk like that, Li Shimin will definitely not be able to go back, and it is inconvenient for him to go back now, because in the eyes of outsiders, Li Shimin has always been the kind of calm and wise image, if he returns to the palace drunk, I am afraid it will cause a huge blow to the image he has worked so hard to create, and the personal guards around Li Shimin also know this, so they all agreed to let him rest here in Li Xiu.
thought that Li Shimin would wake up in the afternoon at most, but he forgot that Li Shimin marched all the way from Tuyuhun to Tuyuhun, and he basically didn't have much rest on the road, especially last night, when he rushed overnight, and drank so much wine before, he couldn't wake up when he fell asleep.
It wasn't until the next morning that Li Shimin woke up from his sleep, but the hangover didn't feel very good, and the pain in his brain twitched and throbbed, which also made him moan, and then stood up and looked at the unfamiliar room, until then he suddenly remembered, as if he was drunk, but he didn't remember anything after that.
At that moment, Li Shimin came out of the guest room, and the guards outside immediately greeted him, and then briefly explained the situation that he was drunk yesterday, Li Shimin also nodded after hearing it, and then washed his face and went to the inner house to find Li Xiu, anyway, Li Xiu did not get married, only had an underage sister, so there was nothing to avoid.
When Li Shimin saw Li Xiu, he was playing Tai Chi slowly in the yard, although the weather has been very hot recently, Li Xiu still tried his best to maintain the habit of morning exercise, and the morning exercise during this time has also shown results, for example, he now feels that his body is much stronger, no longer as easy to get sick as before, and his strength has also increased, and he can increase the amount of exercise if he continues like this.
"What kind of fist is this Li Xijiu, and why is it so...... So peculiar? Li Shimin watched Li Xiu punching slowly, and he didn't know how to describe it at the moment, so he had to prevaricate with the word "peculiar".
"Hehe, this is Tai Chi, it is a Taoist health boxing method, if you insist on practicing, you can not only strengthen your body, but also prolong your life." Li Xiu introduced with a smile, saying that he had just finished fighting, and then stood up, and finally let out a long breath.
If it is placed in normal times, Li Shimin may still be interested in Taijiquan, but unfortunately he is really not in the mood after the hangover, and he only remembers that he seemed to have said a lot after getting drunk yesterday, but he forgot what he said, so he asked tentatively at this time: "Li Saijiu, this king was drunk yesterday, and he didn't say anything rude, right?" β
"No, His Highness and I talked a lot yesterday, but my wine was too strong, so His Highness finally got drunk." Li Xiu said with a smile, he didn't know if Li Shimin really didn't remember or fake, but as long as Li Shimin didn't mention it, he would never take the initiative to mention it.
Hearing Li Xiu say this, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to get up and say goodbye immediately, but Li Xiu saw that Li Shimin's face was not good, and guessed that he might be the cause of his hangover.
The two came to the living room again, Yuechan quickly served the sobering soup, and there was also an ice basin in the living room, so it felt very cool, Li Xiu was used to taking a shower after morning exercise, because his body was full of sweat, but now he definitely can't, so he had no choice but to let Yuechan bring him an ice food to make do with the cooling.
Li Shimin was also quite surprised to see that Li Xiu was an ice basin and ice food here, he also knew that Li Xiu's home was not big, and he fell out with Li Jing again, and he didn't have a deep foundation, so it shouldn't be possible for him to have a luxurious building like an ice cellar in his home, but where did his ice come from, was it given to him by his third sister?
Just when Li Shimin couldn't figure out where the ice in Li Xiu's house came from, he saw Qi Niang sweating profusely and running in from outside with Xiao San, and she was also suffocated, so after getting up early in the morning, Qi Niang took Xiao San outside to play while it was cooler, but as soon as the sun came out, it was too hot to stand it, so she hurriedly ran home.
Seeing that Qi Niang was hot like this, Yuechan hurriedly sent her ice food, and even Xiao San had a copy, don't think that dogs don't know hot and cold, in fact, Xiao San hid in the corner of the living room every day during this time and didn't come out, or jumped into the river, he knew how to enjoy it better than Li Xiu, and he especially liked to eat ice food with milk.
"Li Saijiu, your dogs eat ice food, isn't this too extravagant?" Li Shimin finally couldn't help but say when he saw this, don't look at him as a prince, but when using ice in summer, he must be very carefully calculated, otherwise it will not be enough at all.
"Haha~, it seems that His Royal Highness King Qin hasn't seen the princess yet, otherwise he wouldn't have said so." Li Xiu said with a smile, and took Qi Niang's ice food in his hand, children can't eat too cold things when they are just active, and it's not good to eat ice every day, which makes Qi Niang very angry, but Li Xiu just won't give it.
"What does this have to do with my third sister?" Li Shimin asked even more puzzled.
Seeing that Li Shimin still didn't understand, Li Xiu didn't want to explain more, so he motioned to Yuechan to bring a basin of water, and brought saltpeter, and then sprinkled saltpeter into the water in front of Li Shimin, but after a while, the water in the basin began to freeze.
Li Shimin looked at the magical scene in front of him, and he couldn't react for a long time, and he was also guessing in his mind whether this was a spell or his own hallucination? Only then did Li Xiu explain with a smile: "Your Highness, please see, what was put into the water just now is actually saltpeter, which can absorb heat when it encounters water, making the water condense into ice. β
"It turned out to be saltpeter, I didn't expect it to have such an effect!" Li Shimin was also shocked when he heard this, and then he suddenly thought of something, and slapped the table excitedly at the moment and said, "God help me, some time ago, when we attacked Tuyuhun through Shu from east to west, the biggest difficulty was the sultry weather there, and now although Tuyuhun is extinguished, it is necessary to station a heavy army nearby to prevent Tuyuhun from changing, but my Guanzhong boy is not suitable for the climate of Shudi, if there is saltpeter to make ice cubes in summer, it will be much better!" β
Hearing that Li Shimin was going to use saltpeter in the army, Li Xiu was also stunned, and then suddenly sighed with some emotion, it seems that saltpeter really has a huge fate with the war, even if it has not yet used saltpeter to make gunpowder, but it has already participated in the war with another identity.
Thinking of the role of saltpeter in the army, Li Shimin couldn't help himself with excitement, and he was about to leave immediately, Li Xiu didn't want to keep Li Shimin anymore, after all, the closer he got to him, the more likely he was to be dragged into the water in the future.
At that moment, Li Xiu personally sent Li Shimin to the door, but just as Li Shimin was about to leave, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then saw a team of knights galloping over, and the first person was Li Chengdao, who had just come the day before yesterday.
I saw Li Chengdao come to Li Xiu's door first, and when he saw Li Shimin, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he threw off the saddle and dismounted and saluted Li Shimin: "My nephew meets my second uncle!" (To be continued.) )
