Li Shimin was about to go to court, but he saw Li Shen probing his brain at the door. So he said loudly: "Li Shen, what are you doing there sneakily." Something came in and spoke."

Li Shen heard Li Shimin call him and hurriedly entered the main hall. The ministers also stopped when they saw Li Shen come in. I want to see what Li Shen wants. Li Shen stepped forward and saluted. To Li Shimin:

"Aye, isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival soon? I'm here to give you a gift. ”

"Oh. Then why not send it to the harem. Li Shimin asked

"Aye, the thing was just brought to you as soon as it was retrieved from outside the palace." Li Shen said

"What the hell is it? It just so happened that the ministers hadn't left yet. It is also called for the ministers to taste and taste. Li Shimin said to Li Shen

"Yes. Pick it up," Li Shen said to the small stone behind him and the others

I saw the little stone, Chunxiang, Dongmei, and Lan Yu'er, each holding a box of red sandalwood, and walked in. Stand beside Li Shen.

Li Shen took a box. Said to Li Shimin. "Ayer. The Mid-Autumn Festival gift I gave you was a good wine that I got by chance, and I named it Zhenguan Brewing Palace Jade Liquor. ”

Wang De stepped forward and took the box, Li An opened it and looked at it, there was no problem. Wang Decai put the box in front of Li Shimin. I saw that there were two rows of words on the lid of the box. Above is Zhenguan Brew. Below is the palace jade liquor. Below is a picture of several immortals drinking. The portrayal is lifelike. Look inside the box again. Red silk wrapped two jars of wine.

Li Shimin took out a jar. Wang De helped remove the sealing mud, and after opening it, the wine was full of aroma. Even a few ministers in the front row smelled it. Li Shimin instructed Wang De to take the wine glass and pour a glass. Found as clear as water. If there is no overflow of the smell of wine, Li Shimin suspects that it is water and not wine. Pick up the cup and get ready to taste.

"Everyone, the old slave is greedy. Let the old slave taste it first. Wang De said. It's the rule. It is also Wang De's loyalty.

"It's okay, King Ji is just a child." Li Shimin meant that King Ji was so small. It will not be poisoned

Li Shimin took a sip. Instantly, a smell of alcohol rushed to his head. Li Shimin was unprepared, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself, and the ninja didn't cough. So the face was flushed.

Others were scared enough to see this scene. Thought it was toxic. Wang De hurriedly stepped forward, "Everyone, it's okay" The ministers were also anxious

Li Shimin has recovered at this moment, "Good wine." It's really good wine. This wine is pure and transparent, full of strength, prominent sauce aroma in the mouth, elegant and delicate, mellow body, and long aftertaste. It can indeed be the palace jade liquid. ”

The ministers saw that Li Shimin was fine, and praised Li Shen for being so good. Everyone thinks that even if it is given by your son, it will not be such a compliment. They have drunk all the good wines. Even the tribute wine of the palace they have drunk.

Li Shimin saw everyone's suspicious expressions and said, "Since it is a good wine, you should drink it with all the gentlemen and go get the wine glass."

"Aya glass, I have it." Li Shen hurriedly said. Then he was asked to bring out a box of fine porcelain wine glasses. Let people distribute it.

Li Shimin was stunned. This Li Shen even has a wine glass ready, it seems that today's gift has another purpose. Wang De took the wine jar and poured it one by one for the ministers below. Suddenly, the hall was filled with the aroma of wine. Li Shimin raised his glass and said, "Come, princesses, drink together." ”

The minister thanked him and drank it all. Li Shimin didn't tell them that this wine was more rushed. For a while, there was a cough in the court. Then they all looked at Li Shimin with resentment. But the wine is really good. Clear. There are no impurities at all. After that, Li Shimin let everyone drink another glass. Let's savor it this time. Indeed, as Li Shimin said, the aftertaste is long.

"Aye, Erchen's gift is good." Li Shen is ready to publicize

"Well, that's good. I love it. Where does your wine come from? Li Shimin asked very cooperatively. He knew that Li Shen had opened a wine shop by himself.

"I found it in a place called Boutique Pavilion in the East Market. There are ten boxes of high-quality products in total. I bought them all back for the holidays. However, I heard that they will open tomorrow and sell low-end and high-end wine gift boxes. They are all good gifts for Mid-Autumn Festival. Even low-grade wines are much better than those on the market. However, I heard that there are not many of them, after all, it is certainly not easy to make such good wine. Li Shen replied

Listen to Li Shen. A lot of people think they're going to see it tomorrow. Ready to buy as a gift. These people are all relatively low-ranking officials.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, I don't know how much your wine is worth," Fang Xuanling suddenly asked

"Fang Xiang thinks that this palace jade liquor is worth something," Li Shen asked rhetorically

"The minister thinks that such a fine wine should be worth ten thousand dollars." Fang Xiang smiled and said, 10,000 yuan is actually ten habitual money.

"Haha. Fang Xiang, this king can only tell you that this palace jade liquor, one hundred and eighty glasses" Li Shen said with a smile

"One hundred and eighteen?"

"One hundred and eighty wen, or one hundred and eighty habits?"

"It's definitely one hundred and eighty words. How can it be a hundred and eighty habits"

"Just that glass of wine just now is one hundred and eighty?"

"Each of us drank three hundred and sixty wen just now."

"His Royal Highness King Ji, I don't know how much this box of two jars of wine is," Tang Jian asked next to him

"Don't hide it from Tang Shangshu, a box of wine is fifty dollars." Li Shen replied. In fact, the cost is less than two dollars. But who told no one else to have this thing? Scarcity is expensive. Back then, the West used glass to deceive us with silver.

Just finished speaking. The court was filled with the sound of inhalation. Fifty habitual two jars of wine. It's not that you can't afford it. You can afford it. But a few people are willing. The best thing in Chang'an is only two habits, and many people are reluctant to do so, let alone fifty habits.

Li Shimin was also surprised. This Li Shen is really willing to spend money. And Wang De next to him was also taken aback. The jar of wine that Li Shen gave him was worth twenty-five habits. I can sell four or five acres of land. Then everyone said that Li Shen was filial. How good is it for Li Shimin. and so on. Let Li Shimin smile.

Just when the minister was praising him, he saw Li Shen pick up another box and walk up to the eldest grandson Wuji and said.

"Uncle Lao brought this box of wine to my eldest sister, and said that my younger brother couldn't go out of the palace to send it to her personally because Aya was not allowed, so she didn't mind."

Hear this. The corner of Li Shimin's eyes twitched. knew that Li Shen meant something. But Li Shimin was unmoved. Just watch.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Ji." The eldest grandson Wuji took the box and said with a smile. He had to drink the wine in the end. Li Lizhen does not drink. That's a box of fifty.

Li Shen took another box, walked up to Li Chengqian and said, "Big brother." You take this box back. Aya won't let me leave the palace. I can't deliver it to you in person. When you go back, you use good ginseng and deer antler velvet and soak it in it. Then seal it and open it again after a month. Drinking a small cup a day is good for the body. Big brother drinks less in the future. ”

Li Chengqian also smiled and took it. He knew that Li Shen wanted to leave the palace. But Li Shimin did not allow it. So here to stimulate Li Shimin.

Then Li Shen sent another box to Li Tai. Same words, same reasons. made Li Shimin feel embarrassed in front of the ministers.

"Okay, let's retreat if there's nothing else to do." Li Shimin doesn't want to see Li Shen now, it's too embarrassing.

Everyone walked out of the Taiji Hall. And behold, he saw a carriage underneath. There were five or six boxes on the wagon. Knowing that this is what Li Shen is left.

"His Royal Highness King Ji. I don't know if I can sell a box to Lao Chen. Yun Guogong Zhang Liang stepped forward and asked.

"I'm really sorry Zhang Gong, I want to give away these ten boxes. Next time I'll send it to Zhang Gong. Li Shen said. I happened to see Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong hurriedly shouted:

"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, etc."

Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong stood still and looked at Li Shen suspiciously

"Two imperial uncles, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival. The nephew also prepared a copy for the two imperial uncles," Li Shendao said

Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong are both county kings of the clan. Li Shimin's cousin. So Li Shen also prepared one for them. What's more, Li Daozong also helped Li Shen.

After speaking, he walked to the car and picked up the gift box and gave it to one person.

"Two imperial uncles, you ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicinal herbs to invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis. After a while, take out a cup a day to treat dark wounds. You have worked hard with Aya for many years. Li Shen said sincerely.

"My nephew has a heart. This is what you should do as a child of the clan. Li Xiaogong said

"yes. Li Shen. It's all for my Li dynasty. Li Daozong also said

The two were also very touched by Li Shen's respect for courtesy. And the minister next to him also praised Li Shen's actions. In ancient times, filial piety came first. Li Shen's move won the favor of many ministers.
