Chapter 763: Painting a Big Cake Again
The time for dinner came quickly, Cheng Yanjin was still very uncomfortable just now, and he quickly adjusted his mentality at this time, so he also pushed the cup and changed the lamp when eating, and after a while, the kung fu three or two wines went down.
If there was no distilled liquor in this era, it would not be a matter for them to go down for ten catties or eight catties, but if they drank Datang Tianjiu, one catty of wine would already be able to make them feel the wine.
"The brewing technology is getting better and better, and now I can't even drink the original Datang Tianjiu, if you want to talk about mellowness, it's better to be this six-star."
Cheng Yanjin said with a reminiscence, now that Datang Tianjiu has developed to a six-star level, the original generation of wine is already very cheap, not only can it be supplied openly, but the price has also reached the same price of one catty, basically the middle class can afford to drink, which is also a welfare.
Of course, for these upper-class people, they will always only chase the most expensive, of course, the most expensive is also the best, take this six-star wine as an example, it is also sold in limited quantities every month, and the price on the black market is fifty yuan a pound of wine, but as long as there are goods coming out, these people will still desperately buy it, anyway, as long as they can get their hands and change hands, they will make money, but it is just the reason why they earn more and earn less.
"My father-in-law has a spring and autumn season, and I still have to drink in moderation."
Li Xiang remembered his daughter-in-law's words, and told Li Xiang before the meal, you must not let Cheng Yanjin drink too much, when he was at home before, Cheng Luan didn't let Cheng Yanjin drink too much, and now this task is handed over to Li Xiang.
"Listen to what your daughter-in-law said again, your daughter-in-law took care of me drinking when she was at home, and now this stick is in your hands again, I like to fight and drink all my life, and now I won't be allowed to go out to fight, if I am not even allowed to drink, what fun is there in this life?"
Although Cheng Yanjin said it with a straight face, he was also very happy in his heart, his daughter casually said a word to his son-in-law, and this son-in-law was able to take his daughter's words to heart, you must know that this is not an ordinary man on the street, this is the number three person in the entire Tang Dynasty, and he will be on the dragon throne in the future.
Li Chengqian couldn't say a few words here, and his relationship with Cheng Yanjin was also average, so he left after a few glasses of wine, and Li Xiang and Cheng Yanjin were left on this table, Li Xiang had already scattered his own people, except for some cronies, no one could get close, especially those black-clothed people in the palace.
"Father-in-law doesn't have to mind, at this stage, Chang'an City still needs his father-in-law to be in charge, if there are more stations in the future, I have to hope that my father-in-law can go into battle again to boost the prestige of my Tang Army."
Li Xiang can't say it so clearly, now the emperor has suspected Cheng Biting Jin, after all, Cheng Biting Jin is not the emperor's hardcore cronies, and now there is a trend of becoming Li Xiang's hardcore cronies, if you and the emperor are not of the same mind, even if you and the emperor's grandson are of the same mind, the emperor will not let you regain control of the army.
Now although Cheng Yanjin still has the position of a general and some troops under his command, most of his functions are to inspect the battalions, and there are no direct subordinates, so it seems that everyone is in charge, but he can't mobilize them.
"What do you mean I still have a chance to go back to the battlefield?"
As soon as Cheng Yanjin said this, he immediately woke up, the last time he went to the battlefield, it was still on the Tuyuhun battlefield, and now he has been wandering around Chang'an City, which is indeed a very torturous thing for a general who has been fighting on the battlefield all his life.
Although there is no danger on the battlefield, you can also enjoy the prosperity of Chang'an City, but these things are just temporary thoughts, if you have been living in such an environment, Cheng Yanjin may not feel any comfort, it is very likely that he is thinking about the previous days of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and now looking at Cheng Yanjin's expression shows that Li Xiang's guess is true, he really wants to return to the battlefield.
"I don't dare to say it now, but in the future, when the war breaks out, you people can't be idle in Chang'an City."
Li Xiang has now been given the nickname of a warmonger, if this word spreads from Cheng Yanjin again, it will be tantamount to confirming this nickname, and I don't know how many civilian officials will attack Li Xiang and criticize Li Xiang for not knowing how to put people first.
Li Xiang didn't dare to comment on what Confucianism was, but these literati today are really not good, because of the war, the status of civil officials began to decline, these people ignored the benefits of the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, but spread rumors that were not conducive to the war in the court and among the people, is this what you literati should do?
Fortunately, the progress on the battlefield is relatively smooth, if a battle is lost, I don't know what kind of storm the people of the civilian clique will set off, and then Li Xiang may be on the cusp of the storm, and he may lose everything he has now.
"There is that day, I'm not in a hurry, I can afford to wait for a month or two, I can afford to wait for a year or two, as long as my body can still get on a horse and wield a knife, then you can command me in the future, no matter what place you say, I will fight this old life and take it down for you."
Cheng Yanjin patted his chest and said, there have been hundreds of battles over the years, and almost none of them have failed, although some people have said that this guy only has a three-plate axe, if the three-plate axe can't take you, then this guy won't have much ability.
But then again, from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, how many people can block these three axes, and more people still die under the hands of these three axes, so it is not an exaggeration for Cheng to bite Jin to be called the god of war, only a few people in the entire Tang Dynasty are stronger than Cheng Biting Jin, and the rest of those people can't stop these three axes.
A meal of wine was drunk until the sun set in the afternoon, Li Xiang asked Xiao Xiazi to find a proper person to send Cheng Yanjin back, if it was in an ordinary person's house, it didn't matter if Cheng Yanjin slept in his daughter's house, but this is the palace, no matter who you are, you have to leave the palace when the sun sets.
Li Xiang also drank a lot of wine, and after sending off his father-in-law, he returned to his room, Cheng Luan hurriedly asked people to send sobering soup, but Li Xiang still keenly grasped the wrongness of his daughter-in-law, how could there be tears in the corners of his eyes? I should be happy to see my father-in-law today, could it be that something happened to the Cheng family?
