"Guardian!"

Bai Fu stood respectfully in the Chunhua Hall and saluted Li Yuanba.

In private, Bai Fu directly called Li Yuanba the lord of the guard, and in front of outsiders, he was still called the prince.

"Hmm!" Li Yuanba sat on the high chair and said, "What do you think about the wedding date set this time?" ”

Bai Fu frowned and said, "Lord Wang, this question is not easy for slaves to answer!" ”

"It's okay, just say it!" Li Yuanba waved his hand and said.

"Hmm!" Bai Fu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Lord Wang, since the Shangyuan Festival, the Tubo mission has been in frequent contact with the Qinghe Cui clan, and the people of the Qinghe Cui clan have also begun to continuously transfer people to Chang'an City. According to the Nu investigation, at least more than 5,000 people close to the Qinghe Cui clan have entered Chang'an City under various names! ”

"So many people? What did the forbidden army guarding the city gate do? Li Yuanba frowned.

"Lord Wang, this matter has been reported to His Majesty, and it was ordered by His Majesty to let these people into the city!" Bai Fu laughed, but it was a little gloomy like that: "Your Majesty once said that you want to find an opportunity to solve all the Tubo Mission and these people from the Qinghe Cui Clan!" ”

"Find a chance!" Li Yuanba's face showed a sudden look, and said: "Brother Huang, this is to invite the king into the urn, and the day chosen is the day of the king's wedding?" ”

"By all indications, it looks like this!" Bai Fu{ nodded and said, "If the slave didn't guess wrong, His Majesty would definitely let Gonggong Liu bring you a message and let you go to the palace in person!" ”

"Well, that's right!" Li Yuanba touched his smooth chin and continued: "Forget it, after entering the palace at night, the imperial brother will naturally explain it to me!" By the way, you will send someone to the Yingguo Mansion to inform Wu Shangshu of this wedding date. No matter what, he is also Shun'er's father. He should have been informed! ”

"The slave has written it down!" Bai Fu bowed down and said, "Master Wei, are there any other things that need to be done by slaves?" ”

"Hmmm! Also, you do your best to spread out the matter of the king's upcoming wedding, the momentum and the big as possible, it is best before the next hour comes, the entire Chang'an City is well known! ”

Li Yuanba was also ruthless this time, he had been a bachelor all his life in his previous life, and this time he said that he would have a grand wedding banquet!

……

Da'an Palace, Cuihua Palace.

Dressed in bright yellow dragon robes, the Tang Dynasty has two emperors. Sit opposite each other.

The two looked at each other, no guilt, no affection, no resentment...... There is just calm.

After a long time, Li Yuan, who had an old face, took the lead in speaking: "Among your four brothers, only you and Yuanba are left, I want you to promise me that as long as Yuanba does not rebel in this life, no matter how much sin he committed." You can't punish him in any way! Can you say yes? ”

Li Shimin looked at his old father fixedly for a long time and nodded heavily.

"His Royal Highness the Martial King has arrived!"

Just as Li Shimin's words fell, Liu Sanshui's voice suddenly sounded from outside the main hall, but it was Li Yuanba who was carrying two huge things like food boxes in his hands. Walked into the main hall.

"Erchen has seen his father!"

Seeing Li Yuan, whose temples were gray, Li Yuanba suddenly felt an inexplicable pain rise from the bottom of his heart, he put the two food boxes to the side, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Return to heaven and kneel to your parents. It's a matter of course, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Seeing that his favorite son was coming, Li Yuan smiled with great relief. Said: "De'er, get up quickly!" Yo, what's inside those two boxes? ”

Li Yuanba patted his ass and stood up, first winked at Li Shimin, and then picked up the two big food boxes in his hand, and said, "Father, these are a few small dishes that the chef in the house specially ordered the ministers to make." ”

Li Yuan was in a rare good mood today, only to hear him say: "Oh, hahaha! It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, De'er, have you brought any wine? Today, you and the second child, accompany me to have two drinks! ”

"Bring, bringing!" Li Yuanba opened the two large food boxes, and successively took out the chicken called Huahua, braised iron lion head, braised pork ribs, and squirrel fish from them one after another...... The most important thing is a tightly sealed jar in the right noodle box.

Seeing these dishes, which were even more diverse than the last time at the palace banquet, Li Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said happily: "De'er, the chef in your house is really a genius, I have lived for decades, but I have never seen such a delicacy!" ”

"Father, you don't know yet, do you? In fact, these dishes were all pondered by the fourth brother! Speaking of which, he's a genius! Li Shimin exposed Li Yuanba's shortcomings on the side.

"Oh? And such things? Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanba in surprise, but then his brows furrowed, "You just think about these messy things every day, you can't lose your mind with playthings!" ”

Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "Father, these things are just entertainment!" If you want Erchen to focus all your energy on this, then you might as well kill Erchen! ”

"Hahaha, that's what I said! My son, naturally a heroic man, would not waste his mind on such a trivial matter! ”

In the end, it's a father, who wants his son to be unproductive?

"Hey, Yuanba, are you a wine jar?"

Automatically ignoring his father's words, Li Shimin took out the wine jar that was about three catties from the big food box.

"Yes, this wine has been reprocessed by me, and you can't buy it outside!" Li Yuanba took out several extremely delicate bowls with a smug face and placed them on the wine table.

"Oh? Then I want to try it! Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he reached out and slapped the seal on the edge of the wine jar.

"Poof!"

With a soft sound, the red mud that sealed the wine jar was slapped open, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine rushed up, spreading in the 'Cuihua Palace', and Li Yuan, who had drunk the so-called elixir jade brewing place for a lifetime, his eyes were wide.

He sniffled violently, and subconsciously walked to the edge of the wine jar, his nose fluttering wildly.

"Is this wine?" Li Yuan said.

Li Yuanba rolled his eyes a little helplessly and said, "Yes, it's wine!" It's just the wine that the retainers let the chef in the house reprocess! ”

"The smell of this wine is so fragrant that I can't help it." Li Shimin also has a greedy face, which is not much better than Li Yuan.

"Come, father, son-in-law come to pour it for you?"

Li Yuanba held the wine jar, took a deep breath of wine, and then poured it into the white porcelain bowl.

As soon as the thick and yellow wine was put into the bowl, Li Yuan couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and put it in his mouth.

As a result, as soon as the wine was eaten, Li Yuan almost spit it out.

It was really that the concentration of the wine was too high, and it was extremely spicy, and for a while, Li Yuan's face turned extremely red, and it was enough time for the tea to pass, so he forcibly held back the strength of wanting to vomit, tilted his neck suddenly, and swallowed the wine in his mouth into his stomach with a 'coo'.

"Huh!"

The wine was in the stomach, and the liquor was like a knife, scraping the tongue, walking through the throat, and directly entering the intestines, and the feeling of passing through hell stimulated Li Yuan to sweat profusely!

"Whew, good wine, good wine!" Li Yuan let out a long breath, and his hearty voice floated back and forth in the main hall.

"What a strong wine? I'm afraid I can't find such a good wine in the whole Datang! Li Shimin also drank half a bowl of wine, and after drinking this bowl of wine, his face became ruddy and shiny.

"Yuanba, how is this wine made?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Yuanba first picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine, and then said: "It's nothing, it's just a re-distillation of the wine!" ”

"Distillation?"

Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, glanced at each other, obviously not understanding what was going on.

"Smack!"

Patting his forehead, Li Yuanba remembered that it was now the Tang Dynasty, but distilled spirits appeared for the first time in the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Shinan of the Southern Song Dynasty recorded a case of distillation in the fifth volume of the "Chronicles of the Wandering Eunuchs", which was used to distill flower dew. The Song Dynasty's "Danfang Instructions" book also painted the graphics of the stills at that time, which is still tenable to believe that this distilled liquor originated in the Song Dynasty.

It's just that now Li Yuanba is rushing to take the doctrine and taking the lead in taking out this distilled liquor, so the distilled liquor is obviously branded with the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanba said: "This distillation is actually the use of a specific tool, and then the already brewed wine or distiller's lees are heated, when the wine is heated into gas and rises, it will encounter a cold barrier and condense into a liquid, and the things in the bowl we are drinking now are the liquid left after this reheating!" ”

"Huh? And such a novel way to make wine? Li Shimin was a little surprised.

"Hehe, my brother also found out by accident!" Li Yuanba smiled, he would not tell the secret in his mind if he was killed.

"Eat and drink, what do you do so much?" Li Yuan seemed to have some opinions on Li Shimin's question, and directly interrupted the conversation between the two.

Li Shimin's mouth opened, but he still didn't contradict this twilight father, but just lowered his head and fought with the screaming chicken in front of him.

When the wine was in full swing, Li Yuanba suddenly talked about the purpose of this trip, and couldn't help but put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Father, brother, why are you so eager to set a wedding date?" ”

Li Yuan patted Li Yuanba's shoulder and said, "De'er, I thought you would put up with it all the time!" ”

"Father, I said before that with the character of the fourth brother, if you want him to hold back and not ask, it is even more difficult than killing him!" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

Li Yuanba looked at the unscrupulous father and son sitting in front of him with a stunned face, and said, "You ......"

"Hahaha, I just made a bet with your imperial brother to see when you will ask this question, I didn't expect your kid to be so impatient, it's only been more than half an hour, and you can't help it!"

Li Yuan threw away the chicken bone in his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a jade pendant, if you lose, you lose!" ”

After that, Li Yuan lifted the hem of his clothes and threw a jade pendant with a beautiful shape, but the size of a thumbnail, to Li Shimin. (To be continued......) R1292
