'Persian Fine Wine' is valuable, comparable to Li Mu's 'Three Cups'. But the price increase on the road must be taken into account. This kind of wine is not so expensive in Persia, which also shows how valuable Li Mu's 'Three Cups' are.
It's dark.
Three-cup pour created a precedent for high-alcohol wine, and it also made the rich and powerful in Chang'an City jealous. When it was first introduced, the spiciness of three-cup pour made people who were used to drinking low-alcohol wine find it difficult to drink. But the Tang Dynasty people like to challenge.
You should drink even if your throat is spicy, so why not drink less? Slowly, the amount of alcohol will increase. After you get used to it, you will not be able to get used to drinking low-alcohol alcohol again.
Li Shimin is a typical example. He also knows that wine is valuable, but drinking it is still not very refreshing. He is used to drinking three cups, drinking wine is like drinking sour plum soup, it is just a drink.
But wine is wine after all, and fruit wine is also wine. After a large amount is accumulated, you will faint or faint. Gradually, Li Shimin's tongue became bigger and bigger, Li Mu's eyes became blurry, and Li Yuan was already drunk, and was lying on the bed supported by the waiter.
Went to sleep on the couch.
Li Shimin held his chin with his hand, looked at Li Mu sideways, and suddenly said: "Li Mu, I ask you! Why do you have to imitate others in everything? Although your students are good, they are far worse than you.
Can't you be more attentive, hurry up and get things done quickly? You have to drag it out endlessly, which annoys me so much. Do you know that it makes me uncomfortable to look at Wei Zheng's old face every day!
Disgusting! I annoy him the most!"
Li Mu laughed stupidly and said: "Your Majesty, you finally told the truth, haha..."
"I'm asking you!"
"Ouch..." Li Mu burped and said, "Your Majesty, I told you that I don't want to be an official."
"Well, I told you, what happened?"
"But Your Majesty still needs me, what should I do? I'll break down my skills and teach them to each person. Once they learn it, I won't have to work anymore. When the time comes, I'll squat in the valley, farm, and make some inventions.
,How happy!" Li Mu lay on the table and looked at Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you know why I don't teach two things to one person?"
"Why?"
"They are too stupid to learn." Li Mu started to fuss again, patted his chest hard, and said, "I have recently discovered another skill of my own. Your Majesty, do you believe it? I can have a photographic memory!
"
"Hehehe..." Li Shimin sneered, a little drunker, and said: "I don't believe it, there is no one in the world who has a photographic memory!"
"You don't believe it?" Li Mu also got a little excited. He patted the table and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, then if you write a paragraph, I will just take one look at it. I won't even take a second look. Do you think I can remember it?"
live!"
"Okay!" Li Shimin pointed at Li Mu and shouted: "Here, bring me a pen, I'll take it!"
Eunuch Gao brought the pen and ink in and stood beside him with his hands tied. Li Shimin had obviously drunk too much, so he had to keep an eye on it.
Li Shimin picked up the pen and was about to write when he suddenly stopped. He looked at Li Mu and said, "I almost fell into your trap...Li Mu! I can't write in vain, I have to gamble on something to get some luck."
"Okay!" Li Mu said blankly: "Then what did your Majesty say about the bet?"
"Betting..." Li Shimin's mind went blank and he couldn't remember what to bet on. He looked at Eunuch Gao and asked: "Gao Gao, what do you want to bet on? If I win, will Li Mu feel bad?"
"This..." Eunuch Gao thought to himself, Li Mu is so rich, why should he feel sorry for him? One hundred thousand guan and two hundred thousand guan, he probably won't take it seriously. But when it comes to gambling, it is important to be reciprocal.
Your Majesty, if you ask for someone else's bet, you have to take out the bet yourself, right?
Eunuch Gao whispered: "Your Majesty, you are drunk, stop gambling."
Li Shimin was furious and said: "No, I am rich in the world, why can't I afford to gamble? Tell me!"
"Uh..." Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, since it's gambling, let's go to a gambling house. Zhuluhou's gambling house is worth a lot of money every day."
"Yes!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he said, "I'll bet on your gambling house. Tell me, what do you want?"
Although Li Mu was a little over the top, he had not lost his mind yet, but he didn't want anything else. Suddenly an idea flashed in his head and he said: "Your Majesty, I have thought of it. I want your Majesty's sword!"
Li Shimin asked naively: "What sword?"
"Longquan Sword!"
"Ha, I thought it was a good thing, just a sword. Give it to..." Before he could finish speaking, Eunuch Gao quickly tugged on Li Shimin's sleeve. Li Shimin looked at him displeased and said, "What are you doing? Gao.
Damn it, you are rude!"
"Your Majesty, you can't do it!" Gao Gan glanced at Li Mu and said close to Li Shimin's ear: "Your Majesty, what Zhu Luhou wants is the Longquan Sword!"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"The Longquan Sword is..." Eunuch Gao looked at Li Shimin's somewhat straightened eyes and said, "That is Shang Fang's sword!"
"Oh..." Li Shimin suddenly realized, frowned and looked at Li Mu, and said: "Good boy, you dare to plot against me! I almost fell into your trap!"
Li Mu used the method of provoking the generals, sneered, and said: "You also said that I would let the ministers speak for themselves, but they didn't allow it. Come on, I can't afford to gamble anymore, so I go home and sleep!"
"Stop!" Li Shimin said angrily: "You dare to say that I can't afford it? I can afford it! However, I have a request!"
Li Mu raised his chin in a provocative manner and said, "What are you asking for?"
"I want to make it more difficult. It can't be as simple as writing a few words. I want you to memorize it! Find a book at random, open it and memorize it at a glance. Do you dare?"
"What's the problem!"
Li Shimin was already excited. He looked left and right, and found a book beside Li Yuan's couch that Li Yuan usually used to relieve his boredom. It was written by Ji Kang, a famous scholar from the Three Kingdoms, and it was called "On Health Preservation". Li Shimin flipped through it casually.
Open a page and show it to Li Mu with a very serious expression: "Let's take a look!"
Li Mugang turned his head to take a look, but within two seconds, Li Shimin turned the book over and said with a smile: "Back it!"
Li Mu thought to himself, is the Persian wine today expired due to the long journey? Why did a good emperor become a fool after drinking it? Even if it is a photographic memory, you still have to let me "look over" it, just give it two seconds.
I'm a camera? I haven't had time to activate the skill, okay?
Logically speaking, this was a sure loss. But it was such a coincidence that Li Mu happened to read the book "On Health" yesterday. And in the two seconds that Li Shimin showed it to him, he happened to catch the first word of "Night"
, is the word "good". From this, by comparing it with the information stored in the system, Li Mu knew which page of "The Theory of Health Preservation" it was.
At that moment, he cleared his throat and recited: "... Liangtian is the general name of this world. I don't know if there are more than a hundred dendrobiums planted in different areas. There is one type of field. As for the different tree cultivation, the results will be mutually beneficial. It is said that there is no ten times the harvest.
Price, farmers have no hope of hundreds of dendrobiums, this is something that remains constant and unchanged. Besides, beans make people heavy, while elms make people sad..."
Li Shimin looked down at the contents of the book, and his expression gradually froze. Eunuch Gao was also confused, and subconsciously muttered to himself: "Is this still a human being?"
Li Mu memorized the entire page from beginning to end, word for word. Li Shimin closed the book, put it back where it belonged, and said, "I lost!"
Li Mu laughed loudly and stretched out his hand: "Bring me the sword!"
Li Shimin also woke up a little at this time and said: "I didn't bring it with me!"
Seeing that he was about to cheat, Li Mu gave up. He picked up the pen and handed it to Li Shimin, saying: "You can't deny the bet you agreed on. Since your majesty didn't bring it with you, let me make an IOU. When I go to court tomorrow, I will give it to you."
Pick."
"You..." Li Shimin was struggling in his heart. He wanted to deny it, but he didn't want to bear the name of being untrustworthy. After hesitating for a long time, he took the pen and wrote an IOU on the paper.
"Your Majesty, please draw a pledge"
Li Shimin threw the pen on the table and cursed: "Do you want me to give you a fingerprint?"
Li Mu blinked his eyes, suddenly picked up Li Shimin's hand, dipped it in the inkstone, and then pressed it on the 'IOU': "Your Majesty is indeed wise, I never thought of such a good idea."
"roll!"
"!" Li Mu folded the IOU and ran away without saying a word, as if if he stayed for a second longer, the IOU would be snatched away.
Li Shimin let out a long sigh, and suddenly raised his hand and knocked on his head. Eunuch Gao was afraid that he would hurt himself, so he quickly used his hand to cushion it. Li Shimin glared at him and said: "Gao Gan, why do I need you by my side?"
, why didn’t you stop me!”
Eunuch Gao was so aggrieved that he almost cried: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say?"
"You have to stop me no matter what I say! What should I do now? That is Shangfang's sword, which has the power to kill first and then report later. Seeing it is like I am here in person. I lost to him like this?"
"That's not bad, people memorized it."
Li Shimin said angrily: "Am I asking you to show off for him?"
Eunuch Gao quickly shut up, and there was an awkward silence in the private room. After a long time, Eunuch Gao suddenly lit up his eyes, put on a smile, and approached Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this old slave has thought of a good idea..." He
He leaned close to Li Shimin's ear and murmured a few words. Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he looked at Eunuch Gao up and down, and said: "Finally it's of some use, right! Let's do it like this!"
…
The next day.
In front of the Liangyi Hall, all the officials were surprised to find that Li Mu, who had not appeared since that day when he tried to become the vice-president of the Haechi Academy, actually appeared again today. Moreover, his face was glowing, as if something happy had happened.
His happy event was basically the same as the misfortune of the officials. Everyone was worried and looked at Li Mu secretly, wondering in their hearts what could make him so happy.
Not long after, the palace door opened wide and hundreds of officials entered the palace.
Li Mu's current status in the court is enough for him to stand in the first three ranks. Because his official position is from the third rank, and his title is also from the third rank. No matter from any aspect, he is only behind the ministers of the three provinces and six bu.
"If something happens, start early; if nothing happens, leave the court."
Before Eunuch Gao could finish his words, Li Mu jumped out, waving the IOU he had received yesterday: "Your Majesty, don't be too busy discussing matters. Let's settle the debt first."
All the officials looked at each other in confusion. What kind of debt did Li Mu want from His Majesty? Why did Li Mu come to Liang Yi Palace?
"I keep my word, and I can't do without you." Li Shimin looked calm and composed, and gestured to Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao took the Longquan Sword from the little eunuch behind him, came to Li Mu, and handed the sword to him.
he.
The officials all recognize the Longquan Sword, and when they were in the valley, Li Shimin gave Li Mu the Longquan Sword and asked him to deal with the assassins. Everyone has seen it. But after the last incident, the Longquan Sword has been taken back. What happened this time?
Take it out again!
Wei Zheng immediately took a step forward and asked: "Your Majesty, the Longquan Sword is Shang Fang's sword. It cannot be touched easily. How can you give it to Zhulu Hou at will? Your Majesty, please give me an explanation!"
Li Shimin looked embarrassed and looked away. Li Mu got the sword, so he didn't want to embarrass Li Shimin too much. He took the words and said with a smile: "Old Wei, does it have anything to do with you? I like this sword. I can't borrow it to play with."
?You should also know that I am the number one swordsmith in the world today. I heard that the Longquan Sword was made by Ou Yezi, the number one swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period. I yearn for it and borrow it for a look. Is there anything wrong?"
Wei Zheng had learned his lesson now and did not pick up on Li Mu's criticism. He only said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, please give me an explanation."
Li Shimin knew Wei Zheng's character, and he definitely couldn't escape this situation, so he had to tell everything about what happened yesterday. Everyone was a little confused after hearing what happened. The emperor made a bet with his ministers and lost Shang Fang's sword? It's even more unbelievable.
What's more, Li Mu actually has a photographic memory? These two things were as strange as rumors. For a while, all the officials couldn't accept it.
Wei Zheng was about to speak again, but Li Shimin interrupted him and said: "My dear friends, I know that I made a mistake by drinking. But I am also a human being. Who can make mistakes without being a sage? If you lose, you lose. You must not break your promise. I
By giving Shang Fang's sword to Li Mu, I have not broken my promise, but I also have to attach a condition."
Li Mu's heart pounded, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, you can't go out and exchange it for a Shangfang sword, can you? That would be too unkind!"
"I'm not that dirty!" Li Shimin said angrily: "The Shang Fang Sword was given by the Supreme Emperor. How could I change it casually? However, the Shang Fang Sword is not an ordinary thing. Although it is given to you, you cannot do whatever you want. This
You can only use Shang Fang's sword once. After you use it, you have to return it. When you use it, you must be reasonable and well-founded. If you do it recklessly, it will not count."
Saying this, Baiguan felt a little more accepting of it. Yes, there must be some restrictions, otherwise Li Mu would kill someone with Shang Fang's sword and it wouldn't be against the law. Who could bear it?
Li Mu was anxious: "Your Majesty, I heard that Shang Fang's sword was authorized by the imperial authority to behead it first and then display it. You will only let it be used once. If you can't behead it first and then display it, what do you want me to do here?"
Li Shimin made a cold face and said: "If you don't want it, just take it back!"
"Yes!" Li Mu hurriedly hugged him and said: "If you can't cut, you can't cut. Something is better than nothing. Then if you can't cut, can you arrest it? Catch first and then report it. It has to be there, right? If you have a reason to arrest it, you can always do it.
Cut it off? Also, since the effect has been weakened, we have to discuss it. One time is too little, so why not do it three times?"
Li Shimin didn't want to argue with Li Muji anymore, and Li Mu's request was reasonable. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let you catch it first and then report it later, but if you agree, you can use it three times!"
"Chengchengcheng!" Li Mu nodded fiercely, and suddenly a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he drew his sword and pointed it at Wei Zheng: "I want to use it now, someone, come and arrest Wei Zheng!"
