Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 328 What's Wrong

Chapter 29 What's Wrong
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and inside the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, the lights are bright and bright, the bustling tables and cashmere rugs are lined up side by side, the wine and tea sets are neatly arranged, and the maids in pink and the eunuchs in green are shuttling back and forth in the palace...

Although Nayan Chen Shuda, who was in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Tang Dynasty for the first time, felt that the financial and taxation pressure of the Tang Dynasty was extremely high, but Li Yuan's banquet in the Liangyi Hall still cost a lot.

The interior of Liangyi Hall is even more magnificent.Tables, screens, even if the window lattices are made of red sandalwood except for the gloomy wood, the hollowed-out flower carvings took a lot of painstaking effort by the craftsman; all the carved windows on all sides are opened, allowing the fresh night breeze and bright moonlight to enter the hall directly; every guest is lit. The red clay stove, the seats are covered with thick sable fur, and you can't feel the cold air of autumn night at all. The beautiful and enchanting maids and the eunuchs with delicate features crushed the beast incense and added it to the red clay stove, and the blue and white smoke After dissipating, the rich fragrance and the steam on the cooking utensils permeate, as if you are in a fairyland on earth.

According to the political clarity of the early Tang Dynasty, if Li Yuan was so extravagant and wasteful, the ministers would give generous advice. In fact, everyone kept their mouths shut and never mentioned it.

The family and the country are the world, but the family and the country cannot be confused.Even if the emperor admits that he is the world and the world is him, in fact these are two different concepts.The ancient taxation system was actually two systems. "Hanshu Criminal Law Records" said: "There are taxes and taxes for thousands of miles. The taxes are enough for food, and the taxes are enough for soldiers."Tax is to collect food from the people, so it is next to the word "he", and Fu is to collect money from the people, so it is next to the word "bei".However, in fact, the distribution of taxes and taxes is the state expenditure of food received, and the money received (mainly poll tax) is spent by the royal family.

Qianlong's so-called "never increase taxes." In fact, he was just playing a game of words, but he would never mention never increasing taxes, which is the bulk of the country's fiscal revenue.

Although the Tang Dynasty did not have a House of Internal Affairs to manage the royal family's money like the Qing Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty, the country's fiscal revenue was the same, and the royal family's expenditure and the treasury were the same money bag, but Li Yuan was related to the Long nobles and Shandong The political cash contributed by the nobles, this huge amount of money, does not belong to taxation, so Li Yuan can squander it wantonly.

When Chen Ying entered the Hall of Liangyi, he was also stunned. Although Chen Ying was well-informed, he never expected that Li Yuan would hold such a extravagant banquet.

As all the ministers entered the hall one after another, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo rang out, and the dancers entered the arena and danced lightly.Sitting first on Li Yuan's left is Pei Ji, second is Xiao Yu, and third is Chen Shuda.The one sitting on the right of Li Yuan is Li Jiancheng, Prince of the Tang Dynasty, but the second on the right is not Li Shimin, King of Qin, but Li Xiuning, Princess of Pingyang.The third from the right is Li Shimin.Fourth from the right is Li Yuanji, king of Qi.

Chen Ying secretly looked at Li Yuanji curiously. Is this the ugly son that even the Empress Taimu was so angry that he wanted to strangle him?
Chen Ying was very puzzled. Not only was Li Yuanji not ugly, but he looked even more heroic. Li Yuanji was the tallest of the three brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, with a height of nearly two meters.

Although Chen Ying was lucky enough to participate in this evening banquet, he took the next seat to accompany him.

Although Li Yuan didn't pay attention to Chen Ying, he kept observing Chen Ying secretly, and found that Chen Shuda was a little cautious in this banquet, and the calm foreign ministers were Chen Ying and Pei Ji.It's not surprising that Pei Ji is calm. After all, Pei Ji and Li Yuan have a very good personal relationship. No matter how big or small the banquet is, Li Yuan will never let Pei Ji be absent when hosting a banquet. On the contrary, Chen Ying seems to seldom attend such high-standard banquets.

In fact, Li Yuan didn't know that in the era of the later Chen Ying, the custom of eating and hosting banquets was the most popular. Inviting to marry, to invite a child to a full moon, to invite a child to reach a hundred days, to invite a university entrance examination, to invite a new house, to invite an old person to pass away Please...if your family members are sick, please invite them, and if you are sick, you must also invite them.Once a friend of Chen Ying got hemorrhoids, and even held a banquet... As a favor, it was a very large expense in the family's living expenses in later generations.

Immersed in the traditional eating and drinking culture of the motherland, Chen Ying, who has been tested by alcohol since childhood, is really drizzle to deal with this scene. After all, people in the Tang Dynasty were very civilized in persuading alcohol. "The bully-style persuasion method.

However, in Li Yuan's view, this fifth son of Hou Mochen was calm and unhurried at the banquet held by the governor of the Manchu Dynasty.Well, this child is definitely not a pool thing!

Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying, like that, the more satisfied he looked.Li Yuan seemed to be in a good mood. It was only half an hour after the banquet, and he was already slightly drunk.

Li Yuanji moved his position suddenly, and came to Chen Ying with the wine jar.

"General Chen!"

Chen Ying had never heard Li Yuanji speak, as if there was a thunder in his ears.Chen Ying looked at Li Yuanji suspiciously and said, "His Royal Highness, what is the matter?"

Li Yuanji stepped forward and patted Chen Ying on the shoulder and said: "You are very good. You saved my third sister. I owe you a favor. In the future, if you encounter trouble in Chang'an City, come to me, and the sky will fall. I will carry it for you!"

Chen Ying was a little speechless, feeling that although Li Yuanji's voice was a little louder, he was still a good person.It's not as unbearable as it is recorded in history.

Faced with Li Yuanji's persuasion, Chen Ying was naturally not afraid of those who came. With the alcohol level of this era, even the beer level is not considered, Chen Ying and Li Yuanji drank three consecutive bowls.

Li Yuanji's eyes on Chen Ying became more and more eager: "Shuang Kuai, General Chen is really refreshing. I like making friends with people who are refreshing. I recognize you as a friend!"

Chen Ying originally remembered that he didn't want to get drunk, but in fact every drunk is like this. He obviously didn't want to get drunk, but ended up getting so drunk that he couldn't help himself.

Slowly, Chen Ying's consciousness became blurred.

……

A long and leisurely sigh sounded beside Chen Ying's ears. Chen Ying opened his eyes, and suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar environment. At this moment, Chen Ying remembered that this place was actually in the warm pavilion of the Tai Chi Hall.

A vomitous smell of swill came to the nostrils, and Chen Ying felt his stomach was still churning.

Chen Ying struggled to get up, and found that there was vomit all around him, so Chen Ying hurriedly ran out of the Nuan Pavilion and went outside.

The sunlight in the Nuan Pavilion was so strong that it took a while for Chen Ying's eyes to get used to it. He patted his head hard, and he felt that his mind was blank.

"You finally woke up!"

Chen Ying didn't need to turn his head, but he also knew that it was the voice that haunted him.

Chen Ying turned around and saw Li Xiuning standing in the corridor.

It's just that Li Xiuning looked very tired, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Chen Ying wanted to open his mouth just now, but his stomach was out of his control at all, and he ran to the side of the pillar and vomited, but Chen Ying's stomach had already been vomited out, and at this time his stomach was very uncomfortable.

A beautiful palace lady came with warm water, Chen Ying rinsed his mouth continuously, and it took him a while to react.

Chen Yingdao: "Princess..."

Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief, and said with red eyes, "Go back and rest first!"

The smell on her body was too strong, so Chen Ying had no choice but to leave.

When I left, I always felt that something was wrong.
