The wine comes up and looks clear, it's a good wine. Although the alcohol content of the Tang Dynasty was relatively low, it was more refreshing than most modern wines, because the wine of the Tang Dynasty must have been made from grain, and it was absolutely impossible to mix it with alcohol, and the technology at this time had not yet reached the level of making ethanol by industry.

Compared with ethanol mixed with water and flavored, grain wine will be very comfortable to drink, even if you are drunk like mud, you will not feel uncomfortable after sleeping. I remember that in his previous life, he once asked a friend from a winery to bring two bottles of grain roundness wine and put them at home, and once invited the leader to dinner and took them out to entertain guests. The leader was an old drunkard, and he only took a sip and said: Huh? Where did you buy this wine? Xue Chongxun said that he brought it to his friend and couldn't buy it. So the leader shamelessly took the two bottles of wine for himself and told him to buy wine and eat again.

…… Xue Chongxun and Cui Riyong sat together, the dishes were set on the table, and before the table was opened, Sanniang took out a small white utensil, like a small plate, she lifted the wine jug and poured a little inside, staring at the utensils for a while, it should be checking whether it is poisonous.

Cui Riyong said with a smile: "It can't be poisonous." After that, he poured two glasses of wine, picked up one and drank it all: "I'll do it first as a respect." ”

Sanniang was still not at ease, maybe she was afraid that the wine glass would be smeared with medicine, so she picked up Xue Chongxun's cup and took a sip lightly, was silent for a moment, put down the cup and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun was a little moved in his heart, and said in his heart: If it is really poisonous, will she be poisoned to death if she tastes it first?

Sanniang has been with him for more than a year, Xue Fushang is safe, comfortable, and dignified, and she probably has a sense of belonging.

Xue Chongxun sighed, picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly narrowed, this low-alcohol wine can be so spicy! The drink ran down my throat and was warm from throat to stomach.

Cui Riyong laughed when he saw this: "This is brewed by the Qin people's old pool, the Qin people's songs are sad, the Qin people's wine is spicy, what did Xue Lang taste?" ”

Xue Chongxun took a breath and frowned: "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, a few people have come back to fight in ancient times!" ”

"It's a drunken battlefield, let's have another drink."

When clinking glasses, Cui Ri's wine glass was deliberately placed a little lower than Xue Chongxun...... Although Xue Chongxun is an imperial prince, his fundamental identity is still the Hedong Shi clan, and Cui Riyong is also a Shi clan, so this detail of him is showing a conciliatory attitude.

Xue Chongxun's amount of alcohol was very average, after two glasses of wine, his face was already red, and his black face looked even darker. The old man said that the person who drinks and faces is sincere, maybe he was born with a sincere heart, and later practiced such a black hand...... He said: "Sure enough, the wine table is easy to talk to, and if you invite me to a drink, I am not so tired of you." ”

Cui Riyong smiled and touched the beard on his chin noncommittally.

At this time, he heard a "snap" again, and Xue Chongxun patted the table lightly and said, "But I'm still unhappy in my heart!" Whoever dares to touch the old man's woman, the old man will play with whom! ”

"That's ...... That's ......" Cui Riyong's eyes were a little disdainful. Then he slapped his face, and saw a girl come out of the curtain.

Xue Chongxun glanced back and said, "Beauty|plan?" ”

Cui Riyong said with a smile: "Xue Lang is too careful...... Why don't you come over to pour wine for the king of Hedong? ”

The girl replied faintly, "Yes." ”

"Who is she?" Xue Chongxun asked.

Cui Riyong said: "A slave in the house, named Cui Ying, the cousin (wife) likes her to be well-behaved, and she is rewarded with the surname of the house." ”

"I know this, my housekeeper has always been good at doing things, and my father also rewarded him with the surname Xue." Xue Chongxun looked the slave up and down, looked at her eyebrows suspiciously, and suddenly had a strange feeling, when he said, "She is not an ordinary slave." ”

"Oh? How did Xue Lang see it? Cui Riyong asked with interest.

Xue Chongxun said: "She's worried, but she's not bothered by trivial things such as the clothes and materials are not good enough, the work is too tired, the food is too poor, etc., she is idle......"

Speaking of this, the girl named Cui Ying couldn't help but boldly glance at Xue Chongxun's black face when she was pouring wine. Xue Chongxun smiled: "What is the name of a paragraph...... By the way, the boy doesn't know what it's like to be sad and falls in love with the floor. Fall in love with the floor, and worry about the new words. Now I know the taste of sorrow, and I want to talk about it. I want to say that I will not rest, but I say that the weather is cool and autumn. ”

Cui Ri laughed strongly, and Xue Chongxun smiled again: "Don't be Cui Shilang's concubine." ”

"Absolutely not." Cui Riyong shook his head heavily, and picked up his wine glass to touch Xue Chongxun.

The two drank for a while, and the amount of alcohol Cui Ri used didn't seem to be good, and it didn't take long for him to be groggy and staggering, so he asked Cui Ying to accompany the wine. But Xue Chongxun didn't appreciate it, and said goodbye to taking a slave and maid to fool Lao Tzu, so he got up and said goodbye.

After he and Sanniang walked out of the mansion, they were blown by the night wind, and after waking up for three minutes, they wondered what Cui Riyong meant by getting a woman out? Anyway, it can be seen that Cui Riyong's attitude really doesn't want to grudge with him.

At this time, Pang Er led the "four-hoofed white" horse over, Xue Chongxun stepped on the stirrup, and Pang Er came to help him again, but he pushed him away and turned over himself. The group escorted Xue Chongxun's horse to the east and returned to the house.

Cui Riyong was extremely reluctant to get involved in this matter, although he was a person who was inclined to Li Longji before, but Xue Chongxun didn't have much prejudice against him, only his son Cui Mo was extremely disgusted. This kind of situation is probably because Xue Chongxun thought of the relationship between the Taoist priest Yin Zhiping on the Condor Heroes, and the Taoist priest started with the woman who voyeurized Yang Guo, which was extremely disgusting...... Therefore, Xue Chongxun definitely couldn't tolerate him, otherwise he would not feel comfortable in his heart.

It was easy to deal with Cui Mo, but Xue Chongxun knew that the biggest root cause of this matter was his mother, Princess Taiping. Mother and son are not enemies, but now they are rivals; This confrontation is a delicate situation, not a life-and-death rival, but each is striving for victory.

Taiping doesn't want to see anyone oppose her, she doesn't listen to constraints, even if it's her son, this is her character. So she figured out the matter of guò and regained the absolute authority she should have in front of her eldest son.

And Xue Chongxun is naturally unwilling to give in, last time he married Li Yan'er for the sake of political marriage, he had already compromised, this time he wanted to let the woman he liked marry someone else? He wouldn't compromise in any way...... Maybe Princess Taiping didn't realize that if she persisted like this, their mother-son relationship would collapse frequently.

The consequences were severe, and people of insight in the court were aware of this. In Chang'an, the wind and waves caused by the fight of hundreds of people may be even more severe than the war of hundreds of thousands of people at the border gates.

Xue Chongxun wandered on the stone road by the Listening Rain Lake, his mind fluctuating. Occasionally, there were slaves and maids who walked by carrying lanterns, but when they saw that it was the master of the Xue family, they all bowed their knees and left. Most of the time, it's quiet.

Now it is only up to Yu Wenxiao to see if he can do the things assigned to him well, if he doesn't do it, there will be no way to do it at that time, there are only two ways: assassinate Cui Mo; At the cost of rebellion, the Tiger Regiment was transferred to kill it.

The difficulty of the first road is that Xue Chongxun can't find anyone, because now he is being watched by Princess Taiping, maybe he should have used this simple and rude method on the polo field of Lin De Hall that day, but at that time he was not allowed to carry weapons in the palace, there were so many palace guards around, it was really difficult to kill Cui Mo in a short time with his fists, and Cui Mo must have been very agile when he ran as a young man; The second is that the risk is too great, and it is estimated that it will touch the bottom line of Taiping.

Their mother and son are both probing each other's bottom line...... And letting him marry the woman he likes has already touched his bottom line.

Xue Chongxun reflected on himself, not how much he loved a certain woman, but that he couldn't bear some shame. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to the last time Taiping forced him to give up his favorite Jincheng to marry a Li Yan'er who didn't have much impression...... But the truth is that he relented.

There was a moist night breeze blowing on the lake, and the cool breeze was blowing, and such a quiet environment made Xue Chongxun think a lot. Reflection can make people more aware of themselves, maybe he is not the material of "the person who has achieved great things" at all, people who are really dedicated to doing great things, the lower the bottom line, the more likely they are to succeed, because people will lose the corresponding value at the same time as they get, and people who are bent on winning the world, everything else can be discarded.

Just like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, what he threw away countless times during the incident is self-evident, even after he got the world. At that time, Liu Bang faced the threat of the Xiongnu in the north, but the Han court was so poor that Liu Bang couldn't find four horses of the same color when he wanted to, and he still fought a battle of Mao, so he had to endure it. Xiongnu Shan Yu wrote to his wife Lu Hou, saying that he wanted her to sleep...... I can endure such a thing, and Empress Lu only replied that she was old and decrepit.

If Xue Chongxun was in that position, he would have to go on a northern expedition, and only God would know whether he would win or lose......

Xue Chongxun is this virtue, and now he doesn't have any strength, and his biggest reliance is his mother, Princess Taiping, so he began to jump in this situation, and he did not hesitate to disobey his mother's will, because he couldn't bear the humiliation.

He sighed, afraid that one day he would lose all the things in his hand. Whether it was worth betting everything for the sake of a golden city was not in his consideration. G
