Chapter 435 Drunkenness
Li Ke wanted to invite Li Changsha to the mansion for a drink, it was not just a joke, Li Ke returned to the mansion, and the next day, he posted a post to the Prince's Mansion of Bohai County to invite Li Changsha to the mansion for a banquet in the evening.

When the Prince's Mansion of Bohai County received Li Ke's invitation, Li Fengci was greedy for the fine wine in Li Ke's Governor's Mansion, but his eyes were very hot. He wished that Li Ke was inviting him, so that he could have a drink with Li Ke.But Li Changsha, who actually received the invitation, felt uneasy. Li Changsha knew that the wine might not be so delicious.

In the evening of the next day, Li Changsha took the post sent by Li Ke and rushed to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion on time as scheduled. When Li Changsha arrived outside the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, there were already guards waiting outside the gate and led Li Changsha inside. hospital.

"My cousin is here, but this king has been waiting in the mansion for a long time." Li Ke watched Li Changsha enter from the side hall of the inner courtyard, stepped forward and smiled at Li Changsha.

Li Changsha hurriedly replied with a smile: "There is good wine in the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor invited me, how could I not come?"

"I don't think my cousin is also a good drinker. Come on, cousin quickly take a seat with me." Li Ke laughed, and sat down in the side hall with Li Changsha.

In the side hall of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Ke and Li Changsha sat down respectively, and Wang Xuance, who was having the banquet, also sat beside Li Ke.

"Cousin, come and taste it. This is the fine wine that the king brought from Chang'an. How about trying it?" The three sat down, and the wine and dishes were served. Li Ke personally picked up the jug and filled a glass for Li Changsha. Changsha Road.

Seeing Li Ke pouring the wine himself, Li Changsha quickly stretched his hands forward and took the wine glass handed over by Li Ke.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Li Changsha said to Li Ke: "Thank you for your hospitality, Li Changsha, Your Highness."

After speaking, Li Changsha raised his wine glass and drank it down with his head raised.

"Cousin, come on, let's drink together." Li Ke watched Li Changsha drank the wine in his hand, picked up the glass himself, and drank it in one gulp.

After Li Ke finished his cup, he pointed to the jug on the table and asked Li Changsha, "What do you think of this wine, cousin?"

Li Fengci is addicted to alcohol, Li Changsha is his son, although he is not as good as Li Fengci, but the quality of the wine is determined by the quality of the wine, Li Changsha only tasted it, and he can probably tell whether the wine is good or bad.

This wine is clear and mellow in the throat, with a pleasant aftertaste on the lips and teeth, it is indeed a rare top grade, much better than what Li Fengci drank in the mansion in the past.

Li Changsha said: "As expected of the wine collection left by the previous dynasty, it is indeed a rare wine."

Li Ke heard this and said with a smile, "Haha, that's right, that's right."

As Li Ke said, he winked and ordered the maidservant in the side hall to come forward and fill Li Changsha's glass with wine.

Li Ke is good at drinking, and he drinks good wine on weekdays, so Li Ke is naturally more aware of the quality of this wine than Li Changsha.This wine was stored in a cellar in the former Sui Dynasty, and it was also produced in the palace, but it was not from Taiji Palace, but from Jinyang Palace.

Li Ke set off from Chang'an, went directly north to Yunzhou to command the army, and marched outside the Great Wall for more than half a month. He dared not drink alcohol along the way, and he would not bring wine from Chang'an all the way. This wine is not from Chang'an at all. It was brought, but Li Ke took it out from Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan.

Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan was built by Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty expanded it several times as a northward palace.Jinyang Palace was built according to Yang Guang's order. There are two cities in the east and the west, measuring fifteen miles, which is extremely extravagant.

Since Jinyang Palace is Yang Guang's palace, there are naturally many fine wines brought from Chang'an with Yang Guang's visit in the palace.Although the former Sui Dynasty died, Jinyang Palace was still the emperor's palace, and no one else could enter without permission. However, this time when Li Ke went north, Li Shimin was afraid that his beloved son would suffer in Taiyuan, so he specially approved the warrant, allowing Li Ke to transfer to Jinyang. Gong Yi responded, thinking that Li Ke brought these fine wines from the Jinyang Palace to the needs of the governor's mansion on weekdays.

The wine stored in Jinyang Palace was also brought by Yang Guang from Chang'an back then, but Li Changsha had never tasted it, so naturally he couldn't tell the difference.The reason why Li Ke did this was because he knew that Li Fengci was addicted to alcohol, and wanted to hook the glutton in his belly.

The maid serving wine beside Li Changsha poured another glass for Li Changsha. Li Changsha drank another glass and said to Li Ke with a smile: "It is indeed good wine. Compared with the fine wine given by the governor, it is the best wine in Changsha in the past. If you drink it, it will become dross."

Li Ke heard the words and said with a smile: "My cousin thinks it's good, and it's not in vain for my king's intentions. After a while, after the banquet, when my cousin returns to the mansion, he will bring an altar with him, and keep it to taste slowly when he returns home."

Hearing this, Li Changsha hurriedly said: "How good is this? The governor specially invited me to the mansion for a banquet. It's already a kindness. How can I bring the wine back?"

Li Ke smiled nonchalantly, and said: "No matter how mellow this fine wine is, how can it compare to the deep brotherhood between you and me? It's nothing more than a jar of wine, so don't dislike it, cousin."

Li Changsha said: "In that case, I thank the Governor."

In fact, long before Li Changsha was invited to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Fengci had already repeatedly explained to Li Changsha in the county prince's mansion that if the opportunity is right, he must also ask Li Ke for the jar of wine back to the mansion, and tell him to try it too. , Try the taste of the palace wine that has been stored for decades in the former Sui cellar.

This matter was quite embarrassing, and it was inconvenient for Li Changsha to open his mouth, but now that Li Ke himself gave the wine, Li Changsha was happy to accept it with a few words of politeness.

Since Li Changsha took Li Ke's wine and Li Ke's hand short, he naturally wouldn't push the wine out on the wine table, and after a few greetings with Li Ke, he also talked about some irrelevant court affairs in a paradoxical manner Before he knew it, Li Changsha had drunk seven or eight glasses of wine.

The wine that Li Ke brought out tonight is the fine wine of the former Sui Dynasty. It has been cellared for many years, and it is stronger than ordinary wine. In addition, Li Changsha is not as good at drinking as his father Li Fengci. Already seven or eight points drunk.

Li Ke drank more violently, anxiously and more than Li Changsha. When Li Changsha felt a little drunk, Li Changsha raised his eyes and looked at Li Ke. He also looks drunk.

"Where's the wine? Is there still wine? Go and get it." The jar of wine on the table has been drunk by the three of them. Li Ke is a little bit drunk, but he still seems to have something to say, and he is still arguing. Ask for a drink.

The entire jar of wine on the table probably weighed nearly five catties, and the three of them had already drank a lot. Wang Xuance, who was sitting by the side, saw that Li Ke looked drunk and wanted to drink, so he persuaded: "Your Highness, you drank too much, let it go."

Li Kegui is a prince, and he has to deal with military affairs every day. If Li Ke is injured by drinking, Li Changsha can't afford it. Seeing Wang Xuance persuade Li Ke, Li Changsha also wants to persuade Li Ke to stop drinking , I had a good rest.

But Li Changsha opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but before Li Changsha could say anything, Li Ke waved his hand first and said, "It's rare for me and my cousin to see each other, and I'm just happy in my heart, so why not drink a few more cups, what's more What's more, with the current situation in the court, I don't know how long my cousin's family will stay in Jinyang, and I don't know how long I will drink with my cousin, and I don't know if there will be a chance in the future."

Li Ke was already drunk, so what he said was naturally drunk, and he came out casually, but Wang Xuance's expression was shocked when he heard Li Ke's words, and he quickly blocked Li Ke's intention to continue, and said to Li Ke: "Now The matter is only a rough discussion in the political affairs hall, and it has not yet been finalized, His Highness must not speak early, it will confuse people's hearts."
