Chapter 144: Drinking to Drown Sorrows

After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he was also very generous to his three sons-in-law, Li Jiancheng lived in the East Palace as the crown prince, not to mention, Li Yuanji was rewarded to live in the Wude Palace, and Li Shimin lived in the Chengqian Palace, which is also the origin of the name of Li Shimin's eldest son Li Chengqian.

What's even more coincidental is that Li Chengqian's generation happens to be also a generation of Chengzi, just look at the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but later after Li Shimin's mutiny, he killed all his nephews, probably because of the guilt in his heart, he simply abolished this generation of Chengzi, except for Li Chengqian, his other sons did not use the word "Cheng" to name it.

After Li Shimin reported to his father Li Yuanyu about the war in Tuyuhun, he did not go back to his Chengqian Palace, but went straight out of the palace, at this time the eldest grandson Wuji did not go back, and still stood in front of the palace gate and waited, because he always felt that Li Shimin would have an accident when he went to see Li Yuan so excitedly, so he kept waiting for the news in the palace.

Seeing Li Shimin walking out of the palace with an expressionless face, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it, what is the reaction of Your Majesty?" ”

"Rejoice in the air!" There is nothing to hide from the eldest grandson Wuji, so Li Shimin is also telling the truth, and after finishing speaking, I saw him suddenly sigh and say, "Wuji, go back and rest, I have something to do out of the city!" ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he didn't wait for the eldest grandson Wuji to answer, he took a horse and left. Looking at Li Shimin's lost appearance when he left, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but sigh, although he had a premonition that this was the result, but he still had the hope of what happened in his heart, and now it seems that even this hope of what happened has become an extravagant hope.

After Li Shimin left the palace on horseback, he walked all the way along Zhuque Street, and finally when he was about to leave the city gate, he suddenly turned his horse's head and entered a nearby market, and casually found a tavern to buy a large jar of wine, and did not let the guards behind him help, so he left Chang'an City in his own arms and walked straight to Li Xiu's house by the Yellow Canal.

Today's weather is still very hot, but just after dawn, Princess Pingyang sent a cart of saltpeter, according to the helmet that sent saltpeter, since yesterday afternoon, the people of their princess's mansion began to collect saltpeter in Chang'an City, the existing saltpeter in the city was almost collected by them, it is estimated that if others want to buy, they can only wait for those merchants to transport it from other places.

A car of saltpeter is enough for Li Xiu's family to use, and saltpeter can also be reused, so Li Xiu is also very generous, and in the early morning, he let people make ice cubes and distribute them to the people in the family, especially the fat sisters, who are doubling the supply, because even if it is such a hot weather, they still insist on practicing and patrolling, this kind of professional attitude is really admirable.

Li Chengdao just came yesterday, and he definitely won't come today, Qi Niang is also a little tired of studying, so Li Xiu deliberately gave her a day off, and now she is sitting in the living room with Yuechan Liu'er and the three of them playing cards, she wants to go out to play, but the weather outside does not allow it.

Li Xiu shook the recliner, holding a fan in his hand and shaking it gently, closing his eyes and feeling the coolness in the air, it seemed that he had returned to the air-conditioned room of the later generations, of course, it would be better if there was a mobile phone that could connect to the Internet now.

Then at this moment, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then I heard the maid Xiaochun report outside the door: "Master, there is a person who claims to be the King of Qin outside!" ”

"Li Shimin? How did he get here? Li Xiu couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise when he heard this, but then he sighed again, it seems that he has been killed by Tai Sui during this time, and he can't be idle for a while!

"Let him in!" Li Xiu was very helpless, and then said to the three of Qi Niang next to him: "Yuechan, you take Qi Niang and Liu Er to the inner house to play, add a few more ice basins, anyway, there is no shortage of saltpeter at home!" ”

Yuechan heard that Li Xiu was going to meet guests, and she agreed obediently at the moment, and Liu Er left with a somewhat reluctant Qi Niang, and after waiting for a while, a heavy footstep came, and then I saw Li Shimin, who was dressed in armor, striding in with a jar of wine.

Li Xiu was also startled when he saw Li Shimin's appearance, and then said very puzzledly: "Why is His Royal Highness King Qin dressed like this?" ”

In fact, Li Xiu really wanted to add a sentence "Aren't you hot" at the end, you must know that today's temperature must be at least 378 degrees, and it is really silly to look like Li Shimin wearing a suit of armor, just look at Li Shimin's sweaty head, it is estimated that his whole body is soaked with sweat.

Li Shimin ignored Li Xiu's words, only to see him striding over, and then put the wine jar heavily on the table. However, Li Xiu threw his head back violently, because as Li Shimin approached, a heavy smell of sweat also came to his face, almost smoking him down, and he didn't know how long he hadn't taken a bath.

"Ahem~, is Your Highness going to take a shower and change your clothes first, so that it can be cooler?" Li Xiu held his breath and suggested, not that he loves cleanliness, but that Li Shimin's body smells too strong.

"No, this king is here to drink with you today!" Li Shimin sat on the chair with his ass, and then stared at Li Xiudao, his eyes were a little red, and he seemed to have a bit of murderous aura, as if something was not normal.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, he didn't need to ask to know that he must have been hit by something, but what made Li Xiu couldn't figure out was why he came here to drink stuffy wine for himself? However, it is estimated that even if he asks now, Li Shimin will not say that he has met many friends who have been hit in their careers or relationships before, and he will not say anything when he encounters this situation, and after pouring him a few cups, he will spit out all the words in his heart.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu didn't care about anything to be picky, took two big bowls of drinking water and put them in front of himself and Li Shimin, and took the wine jar in front of Li Shimin and said: "Your Highness, you also know that I don't drink, so if you drink wine, I will drink water, don't say anything, make three bowls of water first!" ”

Li Xiu said that he would fill a bowl for Li Shimin, but he poured a bowl of water, Li Shimin didn't mind at all, he took the wine in front of him and drank it all, his eyes were still staring at him, Li Xiu also took the water and drank it all at the moment, and then filled it up to Li Shimin, but the other party seemed to be deliberately trying to get himself drunk, and he didn't care whether Li Xiu drank it or not, anyway, as long as Li Xiu filled it for him, he would do it immediately.

Seeing that Li Shimin deliberately wanted to get himself drunk, this also made Li Xiu sigh secretly, and sniffed it by the wine jar at the moment, and then put the jar of wine aside and said: "This jar of wine is too light, Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll go get good wine!" ”

After Li Xiu finished speaking, he stood up and left the living room, came to the warehouse and took out a jar of his treasured distilled liquor, he only hid a total of five jars of distilled liquor, and last time he used one jar for Du Fuwei, now there are only four jars left, but Li Shimin is indeed worthy of these good wines.

At that moment, Li Xiu took a jar and returned to the living room, opened it and filled it for Li Shimin, but Li Shimin also praised "good wine" after smelling the strong aroma of wine, and then picked up the wine bowl and tasted it, and his handsome face was also wrinkled, and then he suddenly stretched it out and drank a bowl of spirits in a big gulp.

"Hahahaha~, this is the wine that men should drink, happy! Joyfully! A bowl of half a catty of distilled liquor went down, and Li Shimin's face finally turned red, and his eyes were a little foggy, and he looked five or six points drunk.

"Isn't Your Highness in Tuyuhun, why did you come back so soon?" Li Xiu finally asked with a smile at this time, with the skills he had cultivated at the wine table in his previous life, five points of drunkenness was the easiest time to talk.

"Hehe, it's just a Tuyuhun, this king will destroy it in three or five times, and he also supports a puppet, as long as there is a strong army over there, I won't be afraid of Tuyuhun regenerating!" Li Shimin said very disdainfully, he has always been very confident in his military talents, but he will definitely be very modest in normal times, rather than being so proud as he is now.

"When did Your Highness come back, have you already entered the palace to report to Your Majesty?" Li Xiu asked again, can make Li Shimin suffer such a big blow, and even do not hesitate to use wine to drown his sorrows, in Li Xiu's mind, only Li Yuan has such a ability, and even Li Jiancheng is impossible, so Li Xiu will ask Li Shimin if he has already entered the palace.

"Into the palace? Hehe, yes, I've already entered the palace. Li Shimin showed a complicated smile when he heard this, and then took a sip of the wine bowl again, but he didn't expect to drink it a little violently, and as a result, he was choked and coughed, and finally even coughed up tears.

"Your Highness, drink slowly, this wine is too strong, and it is easy to hurt yourself if you drink it too quickly!" Li Xiu opened his mouth again to persuade, looking at Li Shimin's embarrassed appearance, Li Xiu suddenly seemed to understand something, which made him feel a little sympathetic to Li Shimin.

"Hahahaha~, what does this king care about if he hurts his body or not?" At this time, Li Shimin suddenly slammed the wine bowl in his hand on the table, his expression was also a little sad and angry, and then he stared at Li Xiu with blazing eyes and said, "Li Xiu, you are a smart person, and your knowledge is very comparable, in your opinion, who is better than me or my eldest brother?" ”

"Sure enough!" Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Your Highness and the crown prince are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are not good at different affairs, so it's really hard to compare!" ”

"Don't talk to this king!" Li Shimin was really drunk at this time, his eyes were red and he stared at Li Xiu and shouted, "Since Taiyuan started the army, this king has led my Tang soldiers to conquer the east and west, and half of the entire Tang Dynasty land was fought by my own hands, in terms of government affairs, I am definitely not worse than the eldest brother, but because the eldest brother is the eldest son, the Tang Dynasty that I have worked so hard to fight can only be handed over to him to manage, how do you say I am willing?" ”

Hearing that Li Shimin, who was drunk, even said what was in his heart, Li Xiu suddenly regretted a little, not everyone can listen to these words, I don't know if Li Shimin will kill himself because of this after he comes to his senses? (To be continued.) )
