Chapter 29 The Tibetan Ambassador

Although the Five Kings Banquet was over, with the spread of the people who participated in the banquet, more people heard the name of the Five Kings Banquet. The free form of the new banquet made many people talk about it, and those extremely delicious Dishes are one of the focuses of people's discussion, such as roast duck, hot pot and beggar's chicken. There are already many restaurants in Chang'an City that have launched imitation dishes, all of which are the signs of the Five Kings Banquet. The taste cannot be compared with the original one.

There is nothing special about the roasted mutton, except that cumin was added to the roast, and Li Min did not keep it secret at the banquet, so now the dignitaries in Chang'an City are looking for cumin everywhere, but because cumin is a condiment that is rarely sold by merchants Li Min had wiped out all the stock in Chang'an City before, so even if he had money, he couldn't buy it, and the price had skyrocketed to the point where a catty of gold was exchanged for a catty of cumin.This kind of exorbitant price immediately made the eyes of the merchants bloodshot, and they frantically formed caravans, and then rushed to the west, because only there is cumin produced, and now the speed is compared. Not cumin, but grains of gold!

Compared with Cumin's madness, the sales of Wuwangzui are also very hot. The two largest restaurants under the names of Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong started to play the sales signs of Wuwangzui on the second day after the Five Kings Banquet ended. It attracted the mad rush of countless drinkers, and even the door of one of the restaurants was squeezed down by these people. Fortunately, only a few people were slightly injured, and no major accidents occurred. It's a tragedy.

There is no restaurant under Li Xiaojie's name, but that's okay, countless restaurants are staring at the five kings in his hands. In the end, Li Xiaojie's share was given to the restaurant under the name of his elder brother Li Daoyan. Li Ke had a restaurant under his name, but later Unable to withstand the soft words of Princess Shu, they chose the restaurant of Yang's mother's family to sell it on behalf of them. Anyway, the five kings drunk from them are all sold at the same price. For them, it is the same for everyone.

Although there are four restaurants selling Wuwangzui all of a sudden, because of the limited production in Li Min's house, the Wuwangzui in each restaurant is sold in limited quantities, and the price is ridiculously expensive, but still can't resist people who love wine Every morning, there is a large group of people waiting to buy wine in front of the restaurant.Capital Datang 29

Today is the opening day of the Wang Family Restaurant, and Li Yin has already promised Wang Zihao and his daughter that he would invite a group of friends to join him.Yesterday, he already asked people to make an appointment with Li Yong and others, not only the gang of cronies from before, but also Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu and others he met at the Five Kings Banquet. Getting together is always a good thing.

Li Yin has always been a late-rising slob, so before he got up, Li Yong brought all his former friends here, including Li Xiaojie, Li Jingheng, Yan Bei and others.These people all attended the Five Kings Banquet a few days ago, among which Li Xiaojie had to greet the guests, and Li Yin mingled with Cheng Huailiang and his group all night. Outside, everyone else found a corner to eat and drink.

Li Yin was dragged out of the bed by Li Yong, Wen'er and Hua'er hurriedly helped Li Yin change and wash, and when Li Yin packed up and went into the living room, Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu and others also came.The two groups of people sitting in the hall have distinct latitude and longitude. Li Xiaojie and Li Jingheng are mainly relatives of the emperor, with noble status but no real power. Either they hold real power, or they have outstanding military exploits, or even both.People like Cheng Huailiang generally have their own positions. Although their rank is not high, their power is not small.

These two groups of people usually dislike each other, and fights often happen, but Cheng Huailiang and most of them are from the family of generals, all of them are extraordinary in martial arts, so Li Xiaojie and the others are often the one who gets beaten.Now Li Yin has called the two gangs together, and if they didn't fight on the spot, it would be considered a face for Li Yin.

"Hey, you guys came so early!" At this moment, Li Ke also came in from the outside. His house is the closest to Li Yin's place, but he was the last one to come. He probably likes to get up late just like Li Yin. Yes, two brothers.

As soon as Li Ke and Li Yin came in, the two groups of people came forward to say hello. The two brothers had a good relationship with the two groups of people. They introduced them to everyone by threading needles in the middle, which acted as a lubricating oil, which relieved the situation very well. Tensions between the two gangs.

Now that everyone has arrived, Li Yin and Li Ke took the lead, and they all got on their horses and rushed to the new restaurant opened by the Wang family. Today, Li Yin is the host, not only to connect with these friends, but also to help the Wang family restaurant build momentum.

Although it is only a newly opened restaurant, it is already overcrowded. After all, this is the fifth restaurant in Chang'an City that sells Wuwangzui. In addition to the top-level Five Kings Banquet, those who are well-informed know that the Wang family and Li Yin Knowing that the Five Kings Banquet here was passed down from Li Yin, many people who had no chance to attend the banquet rushed here, wanting to taste the real Five Kings Banquet.

"Your Highness, the biggest room has been prepared for you upstairs, and the food and drinks have been prepared, just wait for Your Highness to have a banquet with all the young masters!" Wang Zihao saw Li Yin coming with three or forty people, and his expression immediately turned pale. Surprisingly, he stepped forward to greet him and said, "He is the only one here today, and Wang Xijun probably has a girl, so it is inconvenient to appear on this occasion."

"Hehe, the business here in Zihao is really booming, even the people sitting outside the restaurant are full of people!" Li Yin looked at the people sitting outside the restaurant and smiled. There were also a lot of tables and chairs in the open space outside, and many people sat outside and ordered drinks and food to eat and drink.

"It's all thanks to His Royal Highness's Wuwangzui, which opened today, so the restaurant serves unlimited Wuwangzui. Most of these people come here for the name of Wuwangzui." Wang Zihao also laughed, a restaurant can attract customers, The most important thing is of course the wine and food.And his restaurant just happened to have no shortage of these two things, so it was so popular on the first day.

Li Yin exchanged a few words with Wang Zihao again, seeing that the people behind him were waiting anxiously, he hurriedly asked Wang Zihao to lead them upstairs.The area of ​​this restaurant is not small, even larger than the Junzilou that Li Yin has been to, but the decoration is far from the Junzilou, but it is better than ordinary restaurants.

As soon as they went upstairs, Li Yonghe and a group of boys yelled loudly to hurry up and serve the food. This group of boys heard that Li Yin was treating guests, and the dishes were the same as the Five Kings Banquet. Many people didn't even eat breakfast. They rushed over, just now they were hooked by the smell of the food downstairs, and now everyone's eyes are green with hunger.

Li Yin didn't eat breakfast either. As soon as the food and drink came out, everyone buried their heads in their mouths and ate. Only when they were almost done eating did some people get excited and started bragging and punching. Although there were not many people, The scene was extremely lively.The people who were originally divided into two factions also slowly merged together. After all, young people are very active, and they will talk when they talk too much. You punch me and I punch you, and then laugh and drink a few cups. Enmity is also forgotten.

While drinking happily, they suddenly heard the sound of someone arguing outside the room. At first, Li Yin and others didn't pay attention to it. After all, with so many guests, it is inevitable that there will be some drunk and crazy people.

"Pa~" Then there was a crisp slap on the face, obviously someone was beaten, and those who were arguing came to their room.

Li Yin frowned, stood up and was about to go out to have a look, when the door of the room was kicked open with a "boom", and then a group of strangely dressed strangers broke in.There are probably dozens of people in this group, the leader is a middle-aged man in his 30s with gorgeous clothes, and the others seem to be his subordinates and warriors guarding him.

"Bastard, I'm drinking here, you Tubo people dare to barge in, I see you are impatient!" Cheng Huailiang angrily beat the case, yelling at these people.

Hearing that the other party turned out to be from Tubo, Li Yin was shocked. Although the Tang Dynasty was known as one of the most powerful dynasties in Chinese history, it also had its own foreign troubles. Other small countries such as Baekje, Goguryeo, and Nanzhao Needless to say, the biggest threats are the Turks on the grasslands in the north and Tubo in the southwest. Now that the Communist Party has been disabled by the Tang Dynasty, the Turks in the West are still in civil strife.Capital Datang 29

"Huh! We are the ambassadors of Tubo, you cowardly Tang people, hurry up and leave, we will take care of you here today!" A warrior on the other side said disdainfully in blunt Chinese, with a very haughty expression on his face.Now that Tubo has defeated the surrounding Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Bailan Qiang, the national power is in full swing, and there is a sense of arrogance in the whole country, and even the Tang Dynasty is not in their eyes. In the Tang Dynasty, it was domineering, and the Honglu Temple, which was in charge of diplomacy, was afraid of causing disputes between the two countries. It turned a blind eye to the affairs of the Tubo people, which further fueled the arrogance of these Tubo people.

"Bastard, here is my Tang Highness King Shu and His Royal Highness Liang Wang banqueting guests, you and other little Tubo envoys, seeing that my Tang Prince doesn't kneel, do you really think that my Tang Dynasty is easy to bully?" Qin Huaiyu was more stable , although angry, but speak very methodically.

The Tubo people on the opposite side were also stunned. They didn't expect that there were two princes here. They looked at each other a little at a loss, and looked at the leader, a middle-aged man with a long beard.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be the famous King Shu and His Royal Highness Liang, and Lu Dongzan, the little minister of Tubo, to see the two princes." The middle-aged man's eyes flickered a few times, and he still bowed to the ground, his subordinates Although his face was unwilling, he still saluted Li Ke and Li Yin, but his expression was very disrespectful.

"Hmph, I didn't expect Tubo Dalun to come here in person, no wonder he is so arrogant!" Li Ke had obviously heard about Lu Dongzan, and said with a cold snort.Li Yin didn't know what kind of official Da Lun was, so he asked Yan Bei who was beside him softly, and then he realized that the so-called Da Lun was the prime minister of Tubo.This made Li Yin very surprised. Seeing that this guy is not amazing and dressed like an upstart, he didn't expect his identity to be so amazing.

Li Ke's rude words made the Tibetans who knew Chinese very angry. They all blushed and clenched their fists tightly, talking in whispers. It seemed that they were very displeased with Li Ke, the prince.However, Lu Dongzan seemed very steady, reprimanded a few words in Tubo dialect, and then said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, I misunderstood, I just arrived in Chang'an yesterday, and I heard that there is the best wine in the Tang Dynasty, so I wanted to come here. I tasted it, but I didn't expect the store to block it in every possible way, so I had to barge in."

This guy is worthy of being an important minister of Tubo. He can be bulletproof even if he is thick-skinned, so he put the responsibility on the restaurant.At this time, Wang Zihao also squeezed in from the outside, but half of his face was swollen, obviously he was the one who was beaten just now.

Li Yin was furious, Wang Zihao belonged to him, and beating him was equivalent to beating himself, so he wanted to rush down to find out the scene, but Yan Bei who was beside him held him tightly, and whispered in Li Yin's ear Said: "Your Highness, don't be impulsive. I heard them say it in Tubo just now. It seems that this time they came here for a marriage proposal. It seems that their Zanpu has been impatient and has the idea of ​​using force. We must not be too angry them."

"Do you understand Tubo dialect?" Li Min didn't expect that Yan Bei could speak Tubo dialect. Although he was furious, he still hadn't lost his mind. It was also his fault to make trouble with Li Shimin because of a businessman and the Tubo ambassador.

"My little brother's business has some contacts with Tubo, and he often has to deal with Tubo people, so he learned some Tubo dialect." Yan Bei said with some pride.

At this moment, that Lu Dongzan laughed again and said, "Hehe, since today is the banquet for His Royal Highnesses King Shu and King Liang, I should go to another place and leave!" Ke Leng snorted and didn't speak, and seemed disgusted with these arrogant Tubo people.

Lu Dongzan turned around and was about to leave when he heard a subordinate next to him say something loudly in Tubo dialect. Concerned, he glanced at Li Yin and the others with a smile, and was about to leave.

However, Li Yin noticed that Yan Bei's complexion changed drastically, his little white face was flushed red, his whole body was trembling slightly, he clenched his fists several times but then let them go, obviously extremely angry in his heart. . ..
