The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 23 Grabbing wine in front of the emperor

"Okay, okay, you two have drank a lot. You said you came to comfort me. You didn't say a few words during the meal, and you just watched you drinking hard. Go home."

Li Shimin looked at his two dazed generals, and he was so angry that they looked like two drunkards. However, he himself was not much better, as he had already drank half a kilogram of wine.

"Go and fill this jar for me. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Cheng Yaojin happily kicked the jar next to him, which he asked Wang De to find from the imperial kitchen just now.

"Old minister, I would also like to thank Your Majesty for the reward."

Weichi Jingde's face turned red after drinking, and he looked more like a door god. Next to him was a jar about the same size as Cheng Yaojin.

What? After drinking, do you want to take it away?

Li Shimin was not happy when he heard this. You two have been drinking here for a long time. Before leaving, you have to take away two cans. Depending on the size of your cans, if I can fill them both for you two, I will still drink. What the hell?

"Get out of here, you've finished drinking and you want to take it for free? Kick them both out."

Li Shimin slammed the table, and the imperial guards came in from the door. But seeing these two drunk generals, they did not dare to step forward, otherwise they would be beaten by the drunken men, and they would be the ones who suffered in the end.

"What a bunch of useless goods. I'm here to give you two pounds per person..."

Li Shimin didn't make it difficult for his guards. He also knew that it was not convenient for them to do anything at the moment, so Li Shimin personally went over to share the wine with them.

"Your Majesty, please pour more. When we defeated Wang Shichong that year, it was bitterly cold in the middle of the night and we only had one pot of wine, but all the ministers gave it to you..."

When Yuchi Jingde saw Li Shimin arriving, he immediately reminded Li Shimin of his achievements.

Li Shimin was right. The battle that year was extremely difficult, and he only drank a sip of wine to keep warm at night. Yuchi Jingde didn't drink a sip, and gave it all to himself in the end.

"I'm missing, and I can't do it either. Your Majesty, your arm was injured when we attacked Luoyang, the eastern capital. It was me, Old Cheng, who carried you ten miles on my back. The doctor at that time said that if you hadn't acted quickly, you would have been injured." I have to leave old wounds, so I have to give more..."

"Go away, you just drank half a bowl more than me."

"Old Yuchi, you old turtle grandson, your ability to drink is not as good as mine, so go ahead and drink if you have the guts."

"Who said I can't drink as much as you! I'll drink you to death today..."

At the beginning, they still said the same thing, but then the words became more and more different. Seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Shimin could only ask the little eunuchs below to separate them. As a result, both little eunuchs were beaten. Got a pair of black eyes.

After struggling for nearly half an hour, the two evil stars were finally sent away. Seeing that there is less than a third of the wine left in the jar, I, the emperor, can't take as much as you two.

"Your Majesty, Duke Lu..."

"No, I won't see anyone. I'm telling you Wang De, keep an eye on this wine. If there's even one drop missing, I'll kill your head."

At this point, there must be no important national affairs. Even if there were, Li Shimin would not be able to handle official duties after drinking like this today. They must have heard the news and came here to ask for a drink.

Indeed, just as Li Shimin thought, a crowd of people came to the entrance of the palace. Firstly, everyone was curious, and secondly, they didn't want to fall behind.

They are all heroes who started their careers with Li Shimin, and they are all granted the title of Duke. If there are good things, everyone should share them together. Why did Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde return with half the jars filled, while we people have nothing? If we If we don't come, people in the world may think that we have fallen out of favor and are worried not about the scarcity but the inequality.

Under such circumstances, Li Xiang's liquor has not yet started to be sold out, but it has already become a sign in Chang'an City. A group of princes are surrounding His Majesty asking for liquor, which has not happened for hundreds of years.

The news also spread the fastest. When the sky darkened, the entire Chang'an City knew the news.

East Palace Hongyuan Hall

"Your Highness, this is the news we have found out..."

The person standing in front of Li Xiang was a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Li Xiang named him Shu Yi. He was a scout among the three thousand snow dragon cavalry. In addition to him, there were more than two hundred brothers who had dispersed throughout Chang'an. City, their task is to collect all the news in Chang'an City for Li Xiang.

"Well done, don't penetrate too fast, everything needs to be stable, and don't let others find out."

Li Xiang knew that these people had just arrived. Although the people given by the system were very capable, the major families in Chang'an City were not vegetarians. If you want to know all the news about them, you need to go through a process. The so-called strong dragon cannot If you are a local snake, everything must be penetrated slowly and must not be rushed.

"I understand."

"Bring this money with you and don't be afraid to spend money when looking for information."

Li Xiang pointed to the two boxes next to him. Inside were two full boxes of money, totaling five hundred guan.

When it comes to collecting intelligence, Li Xiang knows one thing very well: if you are not willing to spend money, there will be no intelligence.

So on the way back, Li Xiang exchanged Li Tai's bird jade pendant for three thousand guan. Anyway, you lost your things to me. I won't let him see the light of day again in the future, as long as it's I didn’t find it in other pawn shops. Who knew I took it and sold it?

"Resigning from humble position..."

Just when Shu Yi was about to resign, a bent subordinate Shu Thirty-Six came in from the outside.

They are also very hierarchical. After everyone collects the information, they will hand it over to their respective bosses. Unless they encounter the most important thing, they will not notify Shu Yi directly.

Li Yuanchang, King of Han?

When Li Xiang assigned them the task, he emphasized to them that if this person wanted to come to the East Palace, he must report it as soon as possible.

At this moment, Han Wang Li Yuanchang had already set off from his residence, and his destination was the East Palace.

Li Xiang waved his hand and told Shu Yi and his men to retreat.

This Li Yuanchang is not a simple person. He is Li Shimin's half-brother. After Li Yuan became the Supreme Emperor, he would give birth to children every day for nothing, which suddenly created a lot of younger brothers and sisters for Li Shimin.

This Li Yuanchang is one of them. Of course, this is not important. The most important thing is that he is the main member of Li Chengqian's rebel group.

Li Shimin had long been dissatisfied with this guy. After all, his half-brother might be a natural enemy. However, due to the opinions of the people in the world, Li Shimin still made him the King of Han. He thought this guy would be grateful, but who knew that he would be a natural enemy? He is planning to fight against the imperial court, can Li Shimin still tolerate him?
