Chapter Eighty-Four: Major Events of the Family and the State (2)
Seeing Li Shimin suddenly say such words, Chu Mofeng and the others couldn't help but look at each other, and the eldest grandson on the side found that the atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and hurriedly glanced at Li Shimin.
Seeing this, Li Shimin laughed, patted Chu Mofeng's shoulder and said, "Brother, I have a drunken talk, Brother Chu should not take it seriously." ”
"Brother Shimin, where are you talking about this, since today is a family banquet, then everyone here is a relative, even if you and I are talking about state affairs, these relatives will definitely not spread it, so Brother Shimin doesn't have to be like this, just come to the younger brother's house and talk freely. Chu Mofeng thought to himself, where are you drunk, a total of three glasses of wine add up to less than half a tael, if you are drunk, you are really talking nonsense with your eyes open, and let me probe your tone again.
Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng smiled, filled Li Shimin's wine glass, stretched out his hand to put his arm around his shoulder, and said: "Brother Shimin is quick to talk, what Fang Cai said really went to the heart of the younger brother." Come, let's fill this cup again. After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup.
Seeing this, Li Shimin raised his head from the wine glass, the wine in the cup slid down his throat and into his stomach, and suddenly a smell of wine came up down his stomach.
After chatting a few words, Li Shimin asked: "Brother Chu, the younger brother heard that the most prestigious specialty of Zhangye is the fine wine Zhangye drunk. My father used to be a good drinker, but the price was too high, so he never got what he wanted. ”
Seeing that Li Shimin mentioned Zhang Ye drunk, and when he didn't know how to pick up the stubble, Shi Hanshuang suddenly stood up and said to Li Shimin: "Brother Li, it's a coincidence, the Zhang Ye drunk you mentioned just now, this time the slave family came to Jinyang just to bring some, you sit for a while, and the slave family and the husband will come when they go." After speaking, he motioned for Chu Mofeng to follow him towards the outside of the house.
The two came to Shi Hanshuang's house, closed the door with their hands, Shi Hanshuang grabbed Chu Mofeng's arm and said: "You are crazy, what do you always do in the direction of Zhangye?"
Feeling the slightest pain in his arm, Chu Mofeng gasped and said, "I said lady, you can rest assured, you are still measured as a husband, but I guess he already knows where we come from, otherwise he would not have come to today's banquet." ”
"Ah? I know, what should I do then? Why don't we wait for them to leave on the way, and I will find a chance to get rid of them and their husbands and wives?" As soon as he heard that his origin seemed to have been known by the other party, Shi Hanshuang's pretty face was cold and ready to kill.
"No, you have forgotten what my father said in that letter, if this kid is really as my father said, won't we get rid of him at this moment and make the people of the world suffer again?" Chu Mofeng waved his hand and said to Shi Hanshuang: "But then again, where did you get Zhang Ye drunk?"
I saw Shi Hanshuang looking for it in a wooden box next to his bed, and then took out a small wooden box, and after opening it, he found that there were ten bottles of unopened Zhangye drunk neatly, and after handing the wooden box to Chu Mofeng's hand, Shi Hanshuang said with a smile: "This is what Sister Qingli asked me to bring when I left, and said that it would definitely be useful to you, so I brought some over." ”
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng kissed Shi Hanshuang and said: "My good daughter-in-law, you are really a lifesaver for your husband, you have almost eaten in a while, you and Ziyao led that Guanyin maid to the side hall to chat, I don't believe that you six women can't deal with a woman, I will continue to chat with Li Shimin in the flower hall, and then probe his tone." ”
Shi Hanshuang nodded, and returned to the flower hall with Chu Mofeng, at this time, Mo Ziyao couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw that the two of them were gone, and motioned Gu Zhen'er to get up and look for it, and when she was about to open the door, the door of the flower hall was suddenly pushed open, and she saw Chu Mofeng and Shi Hanshuang coming together.
As soon as he entered the door, Chu Mofeng said to Li Shimin: "Let Brother Shimin wait for a long time, this is a whole box of unopened Zhang Ye drunk, and the right to be the younger brother is filial to Lord Lingzun, and I hope that Brother Shimin will accept it." After speaking, he put the box in front of Li Shimin.
Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly got up and thanked him, and said to Chu Mofeng: "Brother Chu is really polite, brother, I just heard Brother Chu talk about Zhangye's anecdotes and feelings, who knew that Brother Chu really brought such a fine wine to my brother, then I would be disrespectful." ”
"It's easy to say, if Lord Lingzun has the habit of drinking in the future, the younger brother will then give it to his old man. Seeing that Li Shimin accepted the wine, Chu Mofeng hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, and added a sentence to shorten the distance.
Everyone sat down to eat again, during which Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin drank a few cups one after another, and Shi Hanshuang on the side saw that it was almost time, and asked the eldest grandson: "Sister eldest grandson, is today's meal to your taste?"
"Well, the craftsmanship of the master of Jinyang Restaurant really didn't say, not only the dishes are good, but the most important thing is that the taste is authentic, if Erlang doesn't control my diet now, I'm afraid I will have to go some more." Perhaps the chef's skill was right for Changsun's appetite, and Changsun's joy was indiscriminate in words.
Seeing this, Shi Hanshuang smiled and said: "In this case, the little sister wants to invite my sister to the side hall to talk about it, and I want to ask my sister for many private questions, and by the way, I invite my sister to taste some seasonal fruits." ”
The eldest grandson nodded happily when he heard this, and then several ladies left the flower hall and walked towards the side hall. At this time, only Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin were left in the flower hall, and after filling the wine glass, Chu Mofeng said to Li Shimin: "Brother Shimin, there are only two of you and me left at this moment, so let's continue to talk about that topic, okay?"
"That brother, I will accompany Brother Chu to speak freely, today's words come from the mouths of you and me, and from the ears of you and me, which is not enough for outsiders. Sensing that Chu Mofeng intended to separate the female dependents, Li Shimin had no scruples in his heart.
"The junior brother knows that Brother Shimin has exterminated several uprising teams one after another with Lord Lingzun, I don't know what Brother Shimin thinks about the current uprising?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Mofeng ran to the point, thinking to himself, I have to see what you think of the people.
"I don't know why the uprising is always inexhaustible, if the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has food, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has land and farming, who will go to the uprising in this prosperous world, the people are the water, the court is the boat, the water can carry the boat and can overturn the boat, this truth Yang Guang that kid does not understand. Hearing Chu Mofeng mention the matter of suppressing the uprising, Li Shimin couldn't help but say with some shame.
"In recent years, the Eastern and Western Turkic tribes have been preparing to move, and there is a great momentum to annex the Central Plains, and the imperial court has been making peace with them, I don't know what Brother Shimin thinks?" Hearing Li Shimin's views on the imperial court and the people, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but nod in his heart, and then asked again.
"Turks, foreigners, tigers and wolves, the more you retreat, the more they have to advance, if the court has the ability, it is best to have a big war with it, now it seems that there is no war on the frontier, that is because the Turks have also learned our recuperation, and when they recover their vitality, there will be a big war waiting for us." ”
Li Shimin took a sip of wine to himself, and then said slowly: "So it's best to beat them up at once, if possible, try to divide the various departments, let them fight internally, and then the imperial court has accumulated a good number of troops, and only one trick is needed to clear this trouble." ”
Hearing these words, Chu Mofeng probably had a conclusion about Li Shimin in his heart, and at this time, his heart turned, and he suddenly said: "Brother Shimin, if you are asked to be the emperor, how will you govern this world." ”
Hearing Chu Mofeng's shocking words, Li Shimin's drunkenness instantly woke up for the most part, and he looked at Chu Mofeng in surprise and said, "Brother Chu, be cautious, if such remarks are heard by others, neither you nor I can escape the charge of killing your head." ”
"It's okay, there are only you and my brother here today, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows? As soon as Brother Shimin said it, the little brother and aunt heard it, after waking up tomorrow, I can't remember all the words clearly, what do you think?" After speaking, Chu Mofeng picked up his wine glass and made a gesture of invitation to Li Shimin.
"Well, the right to be drunk for my brother. Li Shimin saw Chu Mofeng's resolute attitude, so he had to use drunkenness as an excuse to speak: "To govern the world, we must first make the people live a prosperous life, how to make the people rich?" We should pay attention to agricultural production with light and meager endowments, so that the people can produce in a stable manner, and pay attention to agricultural production for a while; select genuine talents to serve the imperial court, eliminate accumulated malpractices, and immediately dismiss those officials who do not act or do unscrupulous deeds once they are found to be dismissed and never hired; attach importance to commerce, and get rid of the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business; we should adopt a policy of dividing, co-opting, and suppressing the surrounding forces; and we must go all out to suppress those forces in the Central Plains that are divided and become kings, and the territory of the Central Plains can only be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there should be no other forces that vainly attempt to secession. ”
After saying this, Li Shimin smiled at Chu Mofeng with a little deep meaning and said: "As an emperor, you must have a belly that can listen to the advice of the ear, as the saying goes, good medicine is good for the disease, and loyalty is good for the ear, and those who dare to be loyal to you are sincerely for your good, you can't be like Yang Guang's kid, after listening to a few words that are not pleasant, he will be executed by the edict of Lord Gao." ”
Hearing Li Shimin mention his father's matter again, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart, but the sentimental mood was fleeting, and instead he carefully recalled what Li Shimin had just said, and couldn't help but secretly make some decisions in his heart.
At this time, the wine had been drunk, Li Shimin straightened up and said to Chu Mofeng: "I have a good talk with Brother Chu today, my heart is very happy, and I will invite Brother Chu to the cold house to talk about it in the future, it is getting late, and I will stay soon and say goodbye." ”
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly got up and helped Li Shimin, and the two of them swayed out of the flower hall, and were about to walk to the side hall, only to see Shi Hanshuang and others walking over with the eldest grandson, and when they saw Li Shimin's swaying appearance, the eldest grandson said coquettishly: "Look at you, you have drunk so much again, and when you return to the house later, see what your father says about you." ”
At this time, Shi Hanshuang saw that the two of them were empty-handed, so he hurriedly ran to the flower hall and took out the box of Zhang Ye drunk and handed it to the eldest grandson and said: "Sister, don't panic, give this thing to Lord Li, it is estimated that Lord Li will definitely not blame Brother Li." ”
"It's still my sister's thoughtfulness, then I'll leave Erlang for the time being, and invite Brother Chu and your sisters to enjoy your face and talk about it another day. Leave. The eldest grandson took the small wooden box, saluted everyone, and pulled Li Shimin towards the outside of the mansion, and everyone sent the two to the street until they saw the two enter the Li mansion, and then turned back.
Li Shimin, who entered the Li Mansion, completely changed his drunken state, pulled the eldest grandson towards his room, and saw the eldest grandson's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Shimin patted her shoulder and said, "Go back and say, there are many people." ”
The eldest grandson glanced around knowingly, followed Li Shimin into the house, and after closing the door, an oil lamp lit up in the room.
And Chu Mofeng and the others wandered back to the flower hall, at this time, the mess on the table in the room had already been cleaned up by the subordinates, and after instructing Mu Mu and Zhaozhao to put the tea and fruits on the table, looking at the people sitting in a circle, Chu Mofeng spoke......
