At this time, there were not many memorials left. Li Shimin was a little tired and yawned. He took another memorial and opened it. Suddenly, he heard a "Hey" sound. Changsun Wuji heard this and hurriedly put down the memorial in his hand.
He came over and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so surprised?"
"Come and see." Li Shimin handed the memorial in his hand to Changsun Wuji and said: "The second son of Mao Gong's family asked me to make him the magistrate of Dingxiang County a few days ago. I agreed, and a few days later he wrote another letter saying
He was on good terms with the righteous man who reported the news to the pharmacist, and wanted to keep him as county magistrate. Before I could return, another news came, saying that he had found good wine, very good wine, and he didn’t dare to keep it to himself.
Come quickly and show your respect to me. How did this boy learn to flatter me! He is really...different from Mr. Mao!"
After reading Li Siwen's memorial, Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "Maybe he is worried that His Majesty will not agree. Compared with Mao Gong, this boy's temper is a little more impetuous." Changsun Wuji put down the memorial and asked again.
After returning to his seat and continuing to read other memorials, Li Shimin stopped him and said: "It's a long night, and it's not too late. Why don't we try this wine and see how good he said it is? If it's really good, I'll give it a try."
So I agreed to his request, and if it was not good, I would call him back and stop him from continuing to mess around."
Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Since Your Majesty said so, let's take a rest and taste this good wine!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, and an old eunuch next to him came over, stood three steps away, bowed and said, "What are the saint's orders?"
"Eunuch Gao, pass the meal and bring the wine that Li Siwen paid tribute to. I want to have a drink with the auxiliary machine!"
"This..." Eunuch Gao showed hesitation and whispered: "Sage, the tribute items in the outer court must be inspected before they can be served. Otherwise, drink it another day? Let's drink 'Jiang Nanchun' today.
'Bar."
Li Shimin frowned and said: "Li Siwen is Li Ji's son, how is he different from my nephew? He can harm me, so don't make any noise. Go get it quickly!"
"promise……"
Eunuch Gao turned around and went out. After a while, the meal was prepared. The wine that Li Siwen paid tribute was also brought. The mud seal on the mouth of the jar was still there. Li Shimin picked up the wine jar and looked at it. He didn't see anything special. If
If I have to find a special place, I can only say that this wine jar is very ordinary, as ordinary as if it was used by people in the countryside. What kind of good wine can be contained in such a wine jar? Li Shimin had some expectations, but when he saw this
The wine jar suddenly gave up any hope.
But since it has been brought, it is not easy to change it. Li Shimin raised his hand and smashed the mud seal, and the aroma of wine wafted up.
"This aroma?" Li Shimin was quite surprised. Although he hadn't tasted it yet, he could tell that the wine was good just by the rich aroma. Eunuch Gao said from the side: "Sage, there is also a piece of wine that comes with this wine.
The note is an introduction to this wine. The name of this wine is 'Three Cups of Pour'. The wine is impatient and strong, so I specifically ask you to drink less."
"This kid actually looks down on me!" Li Shimin didn't care. As an emperor, he has never drunk any wine in the world. No matter how strong the wine is, it can't be as strong as a barbarian's Sanlejing.
Liquor from the hinterland of the Central Plains, such as 'Jiang Nanchun', is soft in nature. It's okay to drink three jars of it. But three cups? In Li Shimin's opinion, it's just a gimmick.
Eunuch Gao poured wine for Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji. The glasses were full. Changsun Wuji carefully looked at the wine in the glass and couldn't help being slightly surprised. The quality of this wine was divided into clear and turbid wines. Turbid wine is not as good as clear wine, and clear wine
There is a difference between them. The more transparent the color, the better the wine. The wine in this glass is almost completely transparent, which means that this wine has reached the pinnacle of the world at least in terms of brewing technology.
There were no good generals in the early Tang Dynasty who did not like wine. Although Changsun Wuji was a civil servant, he was also responsible for military supplies when he was in the Qin Palace. He was a logistics officer in the Tiance Palace and was considered to be half a military general. Li Shimin was even more so.
Needless to say, when people mention the generals of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing is almost the first thing that comes to mind. But in fact, the truly invincible general was none other than the King of Qin. If Li Shimin had not become the emperor, he would have had to quell the war with the Turks.
You cannot lead the way.
After smelling the aroma and looking at the color, Li Shimin raised his glass and said, "Auxiliary machine, it seems that Li Siwen has indeed found a good wine. Come, you and I will drink together." After saying this, Li Shimin couldn't wait and raised his head.
Drink it all in one gulp.
"Ugh!" As soon as the wine entered his throat, Li Shimin's eyes widened in vain, and his eyeballs were quickly bloodshot and red, as if he was enduring some pain. Looking at Changsun Wuji, he was already choking and coughing. Eunuch Gao was shocked when he saw this.
, this is poisonous wine!
"There is poison in the wine! Call the doctor!" Eunuch Gao screamed and ran out in a hurry. Li Shimin glared at him and shouted: "What are you talking about! Where did the poison come from! Shut up!"
"Ah!" Eunuch Gao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "It scared the old slave to death. It's fine if it's not poisonous. But if it scared the saint, the old slave will be punished by death."
"Get out!" Li Shimin waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao crawled on the ground and walked out backwards.
"Hiss... this wine is really overbearing!" Li Shimin had been holding back, and then he took a breath of cold air, picked up the chopsticks, took two bites of food and pressed it. Changsun Wuji finally stopped coughing and said: "I'm really honest
I didn't expect that this wine was so overbearing that I choked my throat. Please forgive me for my disrespect."
Li Shimin poured himself another glass, looked at the wine, and praised: "That boy really didn't lie. This wine is much stronger than the Hu people's Sanlejiang. If you pour three cups, what you said is true. I believe that I am good at drinking.
But I don’t dare to drink more of this wine!”
Changsun Wuji said: "If your majesty likes it, just ask Li Siwen to send the person who brewed this wine to Chang'an to serve your majesty."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "How can a king make people abandon their homes and careers and migrate thousands of miles just because of his own preferences? Although this wine is good, it is only for the taste of the tongue and the ears, so we should not go to war over it."
Changsun Wuji nodded and carefully drank the remaining half glass of wine, but did not pour any more. Li Shimin drank the second glass, then another glass, and after three glasses, his face turned red. He
This jar of wine was blended by Li Mu. It was not as high in alcohol content as the first wine that Li Siwen and the others drank, but it was still about 50 degrees. It was the first time he drank high-alcohol wine. Li Shimin still didn't get drunk after three glasses, which shows that he has a high alcohol capacity.
.
After drinking three glasses, Li Shimin was still not finished, but he did not pour any more. He looked at the remaining amount in the wine jar and called Eunuch Gao in outside the door.
"Go find a good porcelain jar, put the wine in it, and send it to Tai Chi Palace. Say that I got the good wine, and I will pay special tribute to the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor is in a happy mood, I will go and pay his respects tomorrow."
"No," Eunuch Gao agreed and carefully carried the wine jar out. Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji and said with a smile: "Assistant machine, as a son, I am really in trouble sometimes!"
"Your Majesty is a model of filial piety and filial piety for everyone in the world. I believe that given time, the Supreme Emperor will be able to untie his knot and be merciful to Your Majesty."
"Alas!" Li Shimin let out a long sigh and said: "I don't have any hope for mercy... I just hope that my father can forgive me... That's all, why bring up these old things? It's getting late, and the auxiliary machine is resting in the palace.
