Chapter 23: Snatching wine in front of the king
"Okay, okay, you two have also drunk a lot, saying that you are here to give me relief, I didn't say a few words after a meal, just watching you drink hard, hurry up and go home."
Li Shimin looked at the two dizzy subordinate generals, and he was so angry that he was like two drunkards, but he himself was no better, and half a catty of wine was already in his stomach.
"Go and fill this jar for me, thank your majesty for the reward."
Cheng bit Jin Le and kicked the jar next to him, which Wang De had just asked Wang De to find from the imperial dining room.
"The old minister also thanks Your Majesty for the reward."
Wei Chi Jingde's face was red from drinking, and the whole person was more like a door god, and there was a jar about the same size as Cheng Biting Jin next to him.
What's up? Want to take it with you after drinking?
Li Shimin was not happy when he heard this, the two of you have been drinking here for a long time, and you have to take two cans with you before leaving, depending on the size of your jar, if you two put it on, I will still drink a fart?
"Get out of here, and you still want to take it for nothing after drinking? Knock them both out of the way. ”
Li Shimin slapped the table, and the imperial guards came in from the door, but seeing these two drunk generals, they didn't dare to step forward, otherwise they would be beaten by the drunks, and in the end, they would be the ones who suffered.
"It's really a bunch of useless goods, I'm here to load two catties for you......"
Li Shimin didn't have any trouble for his guards, and he also knew that it was inconvenient for them to do it at the moment, so Li Shimin personally went over to share the wine with them.
"Your Majesty, pour a little more, when you beat Wang Shichong that year, it was bitter cold in the middle of the night, and there was only a pot of wine, but Weichen gave it to your ......"
Wei Chi Jingde saw that Li Shimin was a little there, and immediately reminded Li Shimin with his achievements back then.
Li Shimin was right when he thought about it, the battle was extremely difficult back then, and he warmed himself at night with a sip of wine, but Wei Chi Jingde didn't drink a sip, and finally gave it to himself.
"I have less here, and I can't do it here, when I hit Luoyang, the eastern capital, Your Majesty, your arm was injured, and it was my old Cheng who ran ten miles on your back, and the doctor said at that time, if you didn't move quickly, you would have to leave old injuries, and I would have to give more ......"
"Get out of the way, you just drank half a bowl more than I did."
"Old Lieutenant Chi, you old turtle grandson, you don't drink as much as me, you can drink it too."
"Who said Lao Tzu didn't drink as much as you! I'm going to kill you today......"
At the beginning, it was still the same thing, but then the words became more and more tasteful, and seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Shimin could only ask the little eunuchs below to separate them, and as a result, the two little eunuchs were beaten with a pair of black circles.
After tossing for nearly half an hour, I finally sent the two evil stars away, and I saw that there was less than a third of this jar of wine left, and Lao Tzu, who was the emperor, was not as much as you two took away.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Lu ......"
"No, no one will come, I'll tell you Wang De, you take care of this wine for me, if there is a drop missing, I will kill your head."
It's all at this point, there must be no major national affairs, even if there is, if they drink like this today, Li Shimin has no way to deal with official business, they must have heard the news and came here to ask for wine.
Indeed, as Li Shimin thought, a bunch of people came at the gate of the palace, and everyone was curious, and they didn't want to fall behind.
They are all heroes who started with Li Shimin, and they are all feudal princes, and there are good things that should be shared by everyone, why did Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde go back with half a jar, we people have nothing, if we don't come, people in the world may think that we have fallen out of favor, and we don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness.
In this case, Li Xiang's liquor has not yet begun to be sold, this is already a signboard in Chang'an City, and a group of princes are surrounding His Majesty to ask for wine, which has not happened for hundreds of years.
The news also spread the fastest, and when it got dark, the entire Chang'an City knew the news.
East Palace Hongyuan Hall
"Your Highness, this is the news we have found......
The person standing in front of Li Xiang was a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy, Li Xiang named him Rat Yi, a scout among the three thousand snow dragon riders, in addition to him, there were more than 200 brothers who had scattered to the entire Chang'an City, and their task was to collect all the news in Chang'an City for Li Xiang.
"It's a good job, don't infiltrate too quickly, everything is steady, don't let others find out."
Li Xiang knows that these people are new to the city, although the people given by the system are very strong, but the major families in Chang'an City are not vegetarians, if you want to know all their news, there needs to be a process, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, everything must be slowly penetrated, and it must not be rushed.
"Humble duty understands."
"Take the money with you, and don't be afraid to spend money when you look for news."
Li Xiang pointed to the two boxes next to him, which contained two full boxes of money, which were five hundred yuan.
In terms of collecting intelligence, Li Xiang knows a truth very well, and if he is not willing to spend money, he will have no intelligence.
So on the way back, Li Xiang exchanged Li Tai's bird jade pendant for 3,000 yuan, anyway, your things lost to me, and in the future, I am not ready to let him see the light of day again, as long as I don't find it in other pawnshops, who knows if I will sell it?
"Retirement ......"
Just as Rat Yi was about to retire, a bent subordinate Rat Thirty-Six came in from outside.
They are also highly hierarchical, and after everyone collects the news, they will hand it over to their respective small leaders, unless they encounter the most urgent matter, otherwise they will not directly notify the rat one.
Han King Li Yuanchang?
When Li Xiang assigned them tasks, he emphasized to them that if this person wanted to come to the East Palace, he must report it as soon as possible.
At this moment, Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, had already set off from his mansion, and the destination was the East Palace.
Li Xiang waved his hand and told Rat Yi and his men to retreat.
This Li Yuanchang is not a simple person, he is Li Shimin's half-brother, after Li Yuan became the emperor, he would have children every day without anything, and he tossed out a lot of younger brothers and sisters for Li Shimin for a while.
This Li Yuanchang is one of them, of course, this is not important, the most important thing is that he is the main person of Li Chengqian's rebel group.
Li Shimin has long been dissatisfied with this guy, after all, his half-brother may be a natural enemy, but because of the remarks of the world, Li Shimin still named him the king of Han, I thought this guy would be grateful, who knows that he is still planning to fight against the imperial court, can Li Shimin still tolerate him?
