Chapter 22 The First and Second Hob Meat of the Tang Dynasty
"What are you doing here?"
In Li Shimin's Qinzheng Hall, just as Li Shimin was about to open the jar of wine, two people came in without letting the people below to inform them. Li Shimin knew who they were as soon as he saw these two figures. This was the most shameless person in the entire Tang Dynasty.
The hob meat, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.
If it were anyone else, they would have to take into account royal etiquette no matter what, but these two people also understood that it was not the time to go to the morning court, and there were no other concubines here. In addition to the friendship between the three of them earlier, they barged in directly to attack.
Most of the time he was scolded.
"I heard that the emperor got a jar of good wine, don't we two want to try it too? When I followed the emperor to raise an army, the emperor said that we would share the blessings."
There are no secrets in Chang'an City. Changsun Wuji boasted about Li Xiang's wine, and the news spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant. Apart from Changsun Wuji, these two people are also the people who love wine the most. They originally wanted to go to Changsun Wuji's place.
It was an autumn breeze, but the civil servants and military generals had never interacted with each other, so Changsun Wuji pushed the two of them back for this reason.
Are you kidding me?
Now there is only this jar in the entire Changsun family. Who knows when Li Xiang will supply the next time. If I share this with the two of you, if you two drink it and take it, the jar of wine will probably be gone.
.
Of course, Changsun Wuji also knew the temperament of these two people. There was no dignity in these two people. If they failed to achieve their goals, they could really set up a tent in front of Changsun's house.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji moved his troubles eastward. Apart from my altar, His Highness the Emperor Changsun no longer had one. There was only one altar in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it was at the Emperor's.
As soon as these two people heard this, they immediately ran over. If others heard that the emperor had good things, they would basically stop caring about it, but these two people didn't have that awareness.
Cheng Yaojin said the same thing. When I, old Cheng, and you were fighting for the throne, you said we would share the blessings together. Now that I don't want gold or silver, are you still reluctant to give up a jar of wine from you?
As for Yuchi Jingde, who was next to him, he didn't speak during the whole process, but he stood behind Cheng Yaojin. This meant clearly that my efforts were no less than his, and you have to give it to me as well.
"After all, you two are the generals of the Tang Dynasty and the noble princes of the country. They are people who want face. You came here just for a jar of wine. How can you spread the word..."
Li Shimin became angry when he heard this. Why do people with five looks and seven surnames look down on us? It's not because of your reckless habits, but he couldn't continue after saying a few words. If it were someone else, it would still be very useful to say a few words.
It's effective, but these two guys are the number one and second-ranked thugs. Even if you talk about it for a day, they won't have the slightest regret in their hearts.
"The emperor is right. We must be behind closed doors after we return and think about our past. Who, Wang De, went to the imperial kitchen to order some side dishes? The emperor said that his mouth was dry and he had no eyesight. Wu Guogong and I drank with the emperor.
Two cups, please give the Emperor some comfort. Look how angry you bunch of bastards always make the Emperor."
Li Shimin took a breath, and Cheng Yaojin immediately seized the opportunity to speak.
No one else dared to offend Wang De, the chief eunuch. After all, he was the devil next to the King of Hell and was very difficult to deal with. But Cheng Yaojin never took these people seriously, but these people did not dare to offend him. They all knew that Cheng Yaojin
Jin is a tough guy, and if he can't agree on two things, he will take action.
If it had been anyone else, he would have been dragged out by the warriors in front of the palace, but the emperor just did this. Whenever he chatted with Cheng Yaojin, he could think of the glorious past, so people like Wang De also
I know, I can only remember this scolding today.
Li Shimin was also speechless towards Cheng Yaojin. When did I say that I would keep you two for dinner?
Besides, look at this situation, it’s just past noon, and there are still a lot of things to do in the afternoon. After drinking from a big wine barrel like you, what else can you do in the afternoon?
Maybe he was afraid of being beaten, or maybe he was prepared in advance. Not long after Cheng Yaojing finished speaking, the little eunuch below had already served the side dishes. Even if Li Shimin was dissatisfied, he could only swallow it, let alone
He also wanted to try this wine, and the two princes who could provoke him came rushing over, so there must be something good about it.
Besides, Li Shimin also knows Changsun Wuji very well. If he is not a real good wine, how can Changsun Wuji praise him?
Just when Li Shimin was thinking about these things, the jar of wine was opened, and instantly the whole hall was fragrant. Even if he didn't drink, he was already three points drunk at this moment.
"Old Changsun, you will never deceive me..."
After Yuchi Jingde arrived, this was the first thing he said. However, Cheng Yaojin had no time to speak and had already pushed the little eunuch away and drank a bowl directly.
"Good wine, good wine, really enjoyable!"
Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine and felt warm all over his body. He burped wine towards the top of the hall, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable.
Not to be outdone, Yuchi Jingde picked up his own big bowl and started drinking. Li Shimin was a little slower on the throne.
"Can you two be successful? You are no longer the mountain kings in the mountains. You are the princes of the Tang Dynasty..."
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Shimin was so angry that he was about to teach him a lesson. Wang De had already brought the wine. Smelling the aroma of liquor, Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then drank it all.
Li Shimin closed his eyes and savored the feeling of the liquor sliding down his throat. Beautiful! So beautiful!
In today's Tang Dynasty, whether it is the wine from the Western Regions or the liquor carefully brewed by various companies, compared with this wine, it is simply rubbish.
"I thought Mr. Changsun was joking. A pound of wine cost five taels of silver. I thought he was crazy because of his poverty. Now it seems that it is really not an exaggeration."
Yuchi Jingde had already drank his second bowl, and Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, also heard these words.
Five taels of silver for a pound of wine?
Is this wine for sale?
One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver. Two kilograms of wine is equal to one tael of gold?
Even though Li Shimin was the emperor, he was quite frightened by the price at this moment, but in good conscience, this wine is definitely not expensive at this price, and it is at least a hundred times better than the imperial wine.
Li Shimin originally didn't pay attention to the deal between Li Xiang and Changsun Wuji, but after hearing Yuchi Jingde's words, he immediately began to calculate in his heart. This guy is really a good calculator. With this, Changsun Wuji will definitely be tied to him.
