What shocked Lu Dongzan's heart even more was that he saw something strange from the faces of the Tang Emperor and the Marquis of Huating, the artillery must be really improved, because he had seen Li Yong's artillery, and knew that it was a matter of time before these things were improved, and the strange thing was that the pair of Weng sons-in-law were reconciled and advanced and retreated together, Lu Dongzan suddenly felt very lucky, glad that he had persuaded Zampu to agree to him to envoy to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise how would he know what happened to the Tang Dynasty? They are on the plateau, and it is basically impossible for the artillery of the Tang Dynasty to attack the plateau, but the artillery can still play a great deterrent role in the countries of the Western Regions, which is of great significance to the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan looked in the direction of Li Yong and bowed slightly.

"It turned out to be Huating Hou, I sincerely apologize here, I offended a lot last time, and I hope you Haihan."

Li Er asked with some surprise.

"Oh? Lu Dongzan, do you have any story with Li Yong? ”

Lu Dongzan said with a smile.

"Back to His Majesty the Emperor, the foreign minister met the Marquis of Huating by chance, and the foreign minister didn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and he made a little misunderstanding, and he didn't know each other."

Li Er asked curiously.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? ”

Li Yong hurriedly said.

"Nothing? It's just that the Tubo people asked for directions louder, which made the ministers a little dissatisfied, so they made a little unpleasant. ”

He can't tell Li Er that he took the black army to kill the Tubo people, it is estimated that Li Er turned his face on the spot when he heard it, and pulled him out directly to worship the sky, Lu Dongzan and Li Yong played dumb riddles, no one knew what they were talking about, and only the two parties knew it, Li Yong was not afraid that Lu Dongzan dared to say it, Lu Dongzan just wanted to disgust Li Yong, Li Er couldn't help glaring at Li Yong fiercely, he knew that Li Yong was a master who was not easy to mess with, if he dared to provoke him, he would dare to fight hard, and now he didn't want Li Yong to blow up, Now the situation that has been created with great difficulty must not be affected, the eldest grandson queen on the side just pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say anything, Lu Dongzan also had a tentative meaning when he said these words, he had been paying attention to Li Er and Li Yong's expressions, seeing Li Er glaring at Li Yong, he couldn't help but move in his heart, thinking that Li Yong was really not treated by Li Shimin at all? Obviously, he has made such a big contribution, but he is not respected at all, everything is very weird, because there is not enough intelligence for him to analyze what is going on. This is the end of the ceremony, although these envoys want to observe it twice, but Li Er refused without hesitation, the team began to return to the palace, the official banquet, but the envoys have no interest in the banquet in the palace, full of worries, where is the mood to eat a big meal, only to borrow wine to drown their sorrows, wait a while, what kind of wine is this? Why is it so violently spicy? Oh my God, how can there be such a fierce wine in the world? What artillery, what bombs, all of them were left behind, and now they only have wine in their eyes, is this the tribute wine of the Tang Emperor? They never dreamed that there was such a strong and mellow wine in the world! Compared with this fine wine, they realized that the wine they drank before was horse urine! Can that be called wine? It's called wine, and now they just want to figure out one thing, what is the name of this wine? Where can I buy it?

"It's a really good wine."

"yes, it's violent."

"Oh my God, how can there be such good wine in the world."

"What kind of wine is this? Where can I buy it? ”

Originally, the hall was quite quiet, but those envoys suddenly blew up, which attracted the attention of Li Er and the courtiers, what's wrong? What happened? An envoy immediately stood up and bowed down and asked.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the foreign ministers dare to ask, what kind of wine is this so strong and mellow? But the tribute wine in the palace? ”

It turned out that the envoys were shocked by the first-line heavenly wine, Li Er and the ministers couldn't help but be a little speechless, these envoys were really big enough, and they thought that they were shocked by the artillery and had no intention of eating and drinking, but they didn't expect to be attracted by the first-line heavenly wine in a blink of an eye, which forgot about the artillery? How do you feel that the artillery has not given them a big shock from the first line of heavenly wine? The name of these people's good wine is really not blown, although Li Yong's wine is also sold to many countries, but the quantity is not very large, the first time they drink such a high level of liquor, what experience can be imagined, Li Er said with a smile.

"This wine is not a tribute wine, but made by Li Yong, the Marquis of Huating, called a line of heaven, and it can be bought in Chang'an City."

The envoys were all excited when they heard this, it turned out that this kind of wine could be bought in Chang'an City, they all made up their minds, and when they left Chang'an, they must pull dozens of carriages back, although it was only the first time to drink, but they already felt that they could not do without burning knives in their lives, but what they didn't know was that Li Yong's first-line wine was limited, and it was not so easy to buy, although the price of burning knives and fine wine was expensive, but Chang'an City didn't know how many rich families, how could they be stingy with wine money? And how many rich families are there in the entire Tang Dynasty? Some people have long accumulated a line of heavenly wine and sent it to Luoyang and other places to sell, and every time they have made a lot of profits, and they want to buy dozens of carriages of burning knives at a time? Dream, but these envoys don't know it, and they are still dreaming.

"Good wine, really good wine!"

The warriors of Tubo are as good as wine, although they hate Li Yong, but they love this line of heavenly wine to the bones, the banquet in the palace ended hastily, because the envoys quickly got drunk, which made Li Er very speechless, he guessed the beginning, all the envoys were shocked by the artillery, but did not guess the end, Li Yong followed everyone out, looking at the drunken envoys who were held by the guards, just like looking at a lamb to be slaughtered, outside the plug is a bitter cold place, so the people are all good wine, If you don't have wine to warm your body in winter, how can you survive the long winter? I heard that the down-and-out shepherds outside the Seychelles will sell sheep and horses and even wives and daughters for wine, it seems that it is not a lie, so Li Yongcai arranged for peace messengers to sell spirits to these countries, on the condition that if you want a line of heavenly wine, then you have to exchange war horses for cattle and sheep, and then he is selling these war horses and cattle and sheep, back and forth, making a lot of money, and he didn't even let go of wool, because the carpets woven with wool and the clothes woven with cashmere are all good things, and they will not only be popular in the Tang Dynasty in the future, but even overseas. At that time, the war will not have to be a knife and a gun, only trade can solve the border troubles of thousands of years, but unfortunately, it is too expensive to make spirits, which is also the reason why Xishan and Huating have not expanded the scale of the brewing workshop, and dare not sell the secret recipe, because although the current Datang has had signs of prosperity, but there is still a shortage of grain, Zhancheng rice has not been planted on a large scale, only his two territories are planting, it is really Zhumen wine and meat smell, and there are frozen bones on the road, What he is afraid of is that those families consume a lot of food because of brewing spirits, which will make the price of food soar, which will make many poor people starve to death, and his Li Yong's sin will be great, so he can only wait slowly, wait for the smooth shipping and the bumper grain harvest, in order to expand the scale of winemaking, in order to gradually realize his vision, there is a long way to go, Li Yong can't help but sigh in his heart, not all the envoys are drunk, and some people are very sober, such as Lu Dongzan, although he was also amazed by the first line of heavenly wine, But he resisted the temptation, tasted it, he looked back at Li Yong, but found that Li Yong was also looking at them, with a smile on his face, I don't know why, he looked at the corner of Li Yong's mouth with a hint of danger and suddenly felt a chill, that gaze seemed to be like looking at prey, why did a young man who had not yet reached the crown bring such a feeling to himself, he himself didn't know, it could be the technology in his hand, or the mysterious army in his hand, it might be both, he couldn't say it, now it seems on the surface, Li Yong has made so many great contributions, although he seems to be beautiful, but he is walking on thin ice, today's Sifang Pavilion is full of wine smell, although the Sifang Pavilion also eats and drinks wine, but there will be no such wine as a line of heaven, because the wine of the first line of heaven is too expensive, and it is not easy to buy, so these envoys are also the first time to drink the first line of heaven wine, after all, the envoys who can enter the palace to go to the banquet are a minority, most of the entourage stayed in the Sifang Pavilion, at this time they were shocked to see the deputy envoy who entered the palace come back.

It stands to reason that when entering the palace to participate in the emperor's banquet, you must always take care of a little face and decency, how can you get drunk?

"Quick, go get some wine! Buy burnt knife wine! This is the best wine in the world! Strong and mellow, compared with the first-line wine, our mare's milk wine is horse urine! ”

"Quick, go buy wine!"

There was such a shout in the entire Quartet Pavilion, Lu Dongzan looked at the drunk deputy envoy and was speechless, but he was helpless, because the deputy envoy was Zampu's uncle, although he was the prime minister and the main envoy, but he couldn't strictly order the deputy envoy.

"Quick, go buy wine, I'm going to drink it again! I'm going to drink the best wine in the world! ”

Although the deputy envoy was drunk, he still remembered the best wine in the world, and Lu Dongzan waved his hand helplessly.

"Go, go, go buy a bar!"

After the order, Lu Dongzan returned to the room alone, thinking carefully about what happened tonight, especially the artillery, although he pointed out the defects of the artillery, but his heart was still greatly shaken, in a short time, the artillery did not pose any threat to their Tubo, but he had to think about the future, if Li Yong really helped Datang to improve the artillery? Li Yong, the key is Li Yong, although Li Yong has made great contributions repeatedly, but the Tang Emperor treats him very poorly, and the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty are very exclusive to Li Yong, no, it can't be described as crowding, it's just a desire to kill and then fast, maybe this is his chance, what can Li Yong get in the Tang Dynasty? Wealth? They can also give Tibet! Princess? There is no shortage of princesses in their Tibet, and their Tibetans are not as searchable as the Tang Emperor, but what is the most important thing for men? Power, the husband is in the world, and he can't be without power for a day, and this is exactly what the Tang Emperor did not give to Li Yong. Imperial Palace, Ganlu Palace, Li Er strode in, and Empress Eldest Sun asked in surprise.

"Why did the saint come back so soon?"

Li Er said with a smile and a smile.

"Not to mention, the envoys of various countries are all drunk and ugly, and a certain banquet has to end early."

Empress Changsun was even more surprised when she heard this, how could any courtier dare to get drunk when the emperor gave a banquet? Even the envoys of various countries could not get drunk on such an occasion, seeing the surprised and puzzled appearance of Empress Changsun, Li Er couldn't help but explain with a wry smile.

"Isn't it all Li Yong's wine? Where have the envoys of various countries drunk such strong and mellow wine? can't help but be greedy, and the first line of heaven has so much stamina, one by one they were put down unconsciously. ”

"It is said that people are especially good at wine in bitter cold places, and sure enough, thinking about it this way, Li Yong's wine is even more powerful than artillery, and he actually put down the envoys of various countries directly."

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but laugh, and Li Er laughed and said after hearing it.

"That's true."

Speaking of artillery, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but blush.

"The saint is really, the concubine looked at the artillery today, where is it the same as what His Majesty said? It's not like it's good at all, right? How can Your Majesty look like ......"

"It's still a little bit like it, it's all because Cheng bites Jin's old goods, and he screamed out, and then it spread."

Li Er hurriedly cleared up the relationship.

"Today's artillery has given a great shock to the envoys of various countries, and the Western Regions is completely stable now."

Li Er said happily, and Empress Eldest Sun frowned slightly when she heard this.

"But the concubines see that Tubo is not small, and they are still a little unruly."

Li Erzheng said.

"Tubo is indeed my confidant, which is why the attention of a certain has been on them before, this time it can be regarded as a test of the strength of Tubo, the strength of Tubo is far beyond the imagination of a certain person, a certain and Xu Shiji, auxiliary aircraft They all underestimated Tubo, Tubo has a Ming monarch and virtuous ministers, and it is located on the plateau is easy to defend and difficult to attack, far more than the Turks to give a headache, a certain can send a large army to sweep the desert, but it is difficult to send a large army to expedition to the plateau, even if the powerful artillery to Tubo deterrence is extremely limited."

Empress Eldest Sun said with relief.

"The mountainous Sichuan and Shu are both advantages and disadvantages for the Tibetans, they will never be able to plot the Central Plains, and Your Majesty can deal with it calmly."

Li Er said in a deep voice.

"But a certain will never give up an inch of Sichuan and Shu, he dares to send troops in Tibet, a certain will send a large army to conquer it, and a certain fierce general will definitely drive them back to the plateau if they are invincible, but I swept across the desert, and the next thing is the Western Regions, is it just for the name of Tian Khan? No, because there is still a dream in someone's heart. ”

In the end, Li Er has a kind of yearning, and there is a kind of categorical taste, Empress Changsun pursed her lips and was silent, she knew what the dream that the emperor had always hidden in his heart, pointing at Liaodong, Li Er had secretly and painstakingly arranged the Western Regions over the years, on the one hand, it was the strategic needs of the imperial court, and on the other hand, why not to eliminate constraints and prepare for the conquest of Liaodong? But he didn't expect that he hadn't leveled the Western Regions, he jumped out of a Tubo, he had been instigated to attack before to know, Tubo is located on the plateau is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult for the imperial court to send an army to conquer Tubo like conquering the grassland desert, stunned to turn an offensive battle into a defensive war, if it wasn't for Li Yong to provide gunpowder in time, then Songzhou was lost to him, in fact, Empress Changsun's heart did not support the emperor's conquest of Liaodong, the former Sui Dynasty had a lesson, but she knew how deep this obsession in the emperor's heart was, and she couldn't persuade at all, Empress Eldest Sun held Li Er's hand and smiled gently.

"No matter what the saint does, the concubines support the saint, but the concubines ask the saint not to be in a hurry, the saint is prosperous in the spring and autumn, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, why should the saint be in a hurry?"
