Volume 2 The Puppet Son Chapter 44 On the Road (Down)
"Satisfied, of course satisfied. From this point of view, it shows that Guo Yan is a great loyal minister. Sun Ning replied with a smile, raised his glass and took a sip, then nodded slightly, "It's really good wine." ”
The fine wine poured out of the jar was amber, and when it was placed in front of him, it was already filled with a rich aroma of wine, which was at least 20 years old and was the finest rice wine.
Even in later generations, this is a rare good wine, let alone the current chaotic times.
"Your Majesty likes it. I don't dare to hide it from you, this is all the ministers have been collecting over the years, and I heard that this is still the tribute wine of Shanyin in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Guo Chong said, as if he realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly made up for it: "Of course, it is definitely not as good as what Your Majesty drinks on weekdays, and the minister is really an axe." ”
Sun Ning didn't show any unhappy expression, his face was still intoxicated, and he slowly tasted the taste of wine: "Whether wine is good or not does not lie in itself, but also in the time of drinking, and the object of drinking."
"I was in the palace before, and I couldn't taste much good, but I just liked the feeling of being drunk. But now, drinking with you like this, I can taste the taste. ”
His Majesty said this, which really flattered the minister.
"However, His Majesty's statement on wine is quite agreeable, as the so-called Lanling wine tulip, wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants...... When the minister is in Liangzhou, he likes to recruit three or five confidants, tell jokes, hug beauties, and drink 100 cups. ”
"That's a good point, that's the real fairy-like daytime."
When Sun Ning heard this, he immediately applauded, and sighed again and again: "Actually, why didn't I think so before? That's why I left Luoyang and went to the palace. What do you say? It's not to seek peace and quiet, so as not to be nagged by some people in the court. ”
"Your Majesty really knows the way of wine tasting, and I admire it."
While laughing and talking about the doorway of drinking, the two of them had already clinked glasses one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they each drank more than a dozen glasses of wine, and their faces were already flushed.
So with the help of wine, Guo Chong asked again: "Chen Dou has something I want to ask Your Majesty, do you have any regrets about the fall of Jingshi and the turmoil in the world because you are not in Luoyang?" ”
"How can I not regret it?" Sun Ning squinted his eyes and drank another glass, "I knew that this was the case, I should have worked more hard at the beginning, and used loyal ministers and good generals like Guo Taishou in multiple ways, I regret that I shouldn't have mistakenly believed in Zhou Guangcheng and others." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly said with some fear: "But if you think about it carefully, this is my luck again, it is the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky who are protecting me and protecting me."
"If I were really still in Luoyang, with the strength of the rebels at that time, as well as their various arrangements, this Luoyang would be able to hold it? And once Luoyang City is broken, I'm afraid it's really over.
"So I always feel that this is the protection of my ancestors, and the sky will not destroy my great transcendence."
Guo Chong nodded again and again: "What Your Majesty said is very true, as the so-called misfortune and blessing rely on, after this chaos, it will be a great rule." As long as Your Majesty is still there, then my Dayue will definitely be able to prosper again. ”
"Well said, if there is really that day, not only Guo Taishou is the first meritorious minister, but Guo Chong is also a great contributor, and when the time comes, you will definitely be indispensable."
Sun Ning seemed to be very excited, his hands shook as he spoke, and he actually poured half a glass of wine on himself.
But he didn't care about it at all, so he quickly poured the wine and drank it in one gulp: "Just make him stable every day, let's make a toast." ”
"!" Guo Chong hurriedly raised his glass and responded.
"By the way, does Your Majesty really think we can turn things around anytime soon? Also, before you took Nanyang, you already had a foothold, but my father suddenly forcibly invited you to Liangzhou, don't you have an idea in your heart? ”
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Guo Chong was really drunk, and he dared to ask some taboo words with the strength of the wine.
Sun Ning also squinted his eyes, looking drunk and hazy, and he was about to sit unsteadily.
Hearing this, he just sneered: "In this world, the hearts of the people are still in favor of me, and there are too many loyal ministers and righteous people who want to reorganize the dynasty, so I naturally have the confidence to return to Luoyang and annihilate the rebels."
"As for Nanyang, it's just a small city, how can it compare to the stability of Liangzhou?
"I'll tell you the truth, in fact, after I arrived in Nanyang, I was always scared, for fear that the rebels would hear the news and kill me.
"And the people under him...... You don't know where they come from, most of them are bandits in the green forest deep in the mountains, all of them are rude, and they don't have a loyal heart at all. I didn't dare tell them who I really was, for fear that they would turn against me or betray me to the rebels.
"Fortunately, Guo Taishou sent someone here, otherwise I really don't know how to end it."
"It turns out that Your Majesty is still facing such a predicament, which really makes the ministers ashamed."
Guo Chong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then patted his chest again: "Your Majesty, rest assured, when you stay in our Liangzhou, you will be really safe." You don't have to worry about how to regain the world, and you don't have to worry about someone doing you badly. ”
"That's great, I never thought that I could become the founder of the country like Taizu Taizong, I just want to live comfortably, without any sorrows, and without worrying about the world.
"You don't know, how tired I am in this paragraph, just to calm people's hearts, just to protect myself......"
Speaking of this, Sun Ning was obviously drunk, and he couldn't support it anymore, so his body was weak, and he fell down.
Guo Chong's face was also flushed, and he looked like he was about to get drunk.
However, he still maintained a certain amount of sanity, staggered, and said to the two women lying on the other side, "You ...... You will take care of Your Majesty, and I will go back first. ”
With that, he got up with difficulty and got out of the car with a stagger.
But at the moment when he turned around and got out of the car, his originally drunken and hazy eyes quickly regained their clarity, and with the amount of alcohol he Guo Dashao had cultivated over the years, these glasses of wine just made him a little more popular.
At this time, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he had mastered something crucial.
In the carriage behind him, Sun Ning was carefully helped aside by the two women, and brought him the tea to drink.
Sun Ning didn't react much during this period, and it seemed that he was really completely drunk.
It wasn't until the two girls finished doing this, they were so tired that they retracted into his arms again, and they also fell asleep, that Sun Ning's eyes suddenly opened, and the essence in his eyes flickered, how could he look a little drunk?
