"What a great wine! What a great wine!"
After a long time, the two of them finally recovered. Feeling the faint aftertaste of bamboo fragrance on their lips and teeth, they couldn't help but admire it in unison.
Compared with the Erguotou in front of him, the tribute wine collected in his palace cannot be considered wine at all.
"What kind of wine is this? Why is it so spicy? It's actually much stronger than the Shao Knife on the grassland. I - I've never seen such strong water wine!"
After eating a large bowl of Erguotou, Li Shimin's cheeks suddenly turned red.
You have never seen Lao Baigan!
Wang Zi'an complained in his heart, and he picked up the wine jar and filled it up again for the two of them.
"You two are good drinkers! What a man! You can tell that you are a happy person at first glance. Come on, drink to your heart's content. We will never stop getting drunk today!"
Looking at a large bowl full of Erguotou, Li Shimin couldn't help but take a breath. If you drink like this today, you will most likely be killed. Just when he was about to find an excuse to evade, he heard Cheng Yaojin slap his chest with great enthusiasm.
"Come on - full - full on, full on - I won't get drunk today - I won't stop until I get drunk -"
After saying this, he stretched out his hand and snatched the wine jar away.
"Come on - come on - Erlang - I won't come back until I'm drunk, who's being naughty - who, who's grandson -"
Gudong, gudong, filled it up for myself and Li Shimin.
Li Shimin:...
Forgot about this old man drinking and climbing on the pot.
…
Twilight all round.
The three people in the yard were already so drunk that they were hanging around.
Cheng Yaojin's face was red from drinking. He was holding a wine glass in one hand and cress in the other. He didn't even cook it. He just brushed it in the spicy soup and gnawed it when he picked it up. It was like eating green onions. In comparison, Li Shimin is much more reserved.
Hold a wine glass and sing loudly.
"When I'm about to drink, don't stop drinking. I'll sing a song with you. I ask you to listen to me. Bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive, but I hope I won't wake up after being drunk for a long time. In ancient times, the sages were all lonely, and only the drinkers left their names. Only the drinker leaves his name..."
After singing, Li Shimin burped and glanced at Wang Zi'an with drunken eyes.
"It's such a good poem, such a good poem——"
"Okay, good poem——"
Cheng took a bite of gold and cress, and drunkenly followed suit. Li Shimin glanced at him contemptuously and ignored him.
This vulgar guy knows nothing about poetry, and his only close friend is little brother Wang!
All the sages in ancient times were lonely!
Those ordinary people, the idle people, only saw themselves killing for the sake of the dragon throne, how could they know the pain in their hearts!
Life is lonely!
Fortunately, Jiang Jinjiu has this little brother!
"My little brother is not only very physically strong, proficient in farm skills, but also has such amazing talents. Living here is not a sign of humiliation. Why not become an official, do a big business, and get a wife..."
Although Li Shimin was almost drunk, the inertia of being an emperor still made him unable to resist soliciting.
"What good can I do by being a shitty official and following that idiot Li Er? I'm here by myself. I can eat whatever I want, play whatever I want, sleep wherever I want, sleep wherever I want, and marry whatever I want. He can marry as many wives as he wants and be free and at ease, isn't it good for him..."
When Wang Zi'an saw that this guy was encouraging him again, he snarled at him angrily.
This guy is eating his own food, drinking his own food, and trying to trick himself. What a heartless bitch!
"Tell me, tell me, who are you calling a fool? Why are you saying that your Majesty is a fool?"
Cheng Yaojin stuck his tongue out and struggled to stand up and argue with Wang Zi'an.
"Go away, it's none of your business - little brother, I would like to hear your opinion, why do you say that I - our Majesty is a fool, a fool -"
Even though he was a little drunk, he was still slightly embarrassed by calling himself a fool.
"What are the benefits of being a broken emperor? Look at him, is he as free and happy as us? He stays in his broken palace every day, like a caged bird. The key is that he is busy all day long, so tired that he is like a turtle grandson. Like. He actually rushed to do it - this is not a fucking idiot..."
After finishing speaking, Wang Zi'an leaned back lazily on his chair and added with some emotion.
"What's more, in order to become this bad emperor, he even killed his brother and his brother, forced the Supreme Emperor to retreat, and made the father no father, the son no son, the brother no brother, the brother no brother, leaving only a lonely man, isn't it a tragedy in the world? ——If it were me, I wouldn’t be such a bad emperor even if I were to die——"
"Be bold!"
Cheng Yaojin was so frightened by Wang Zi'an's words that he suddenly became excited. His back was wet with cold sweat in an instant, and he even woke up from most of the wine.
"The emperor is not here, who are you showing your loyalty to? What annoys you the most is that you are just a small businessman. You are not even qualified to speak in front of the emperor, but you behave like the emperor. Like a crazy fan—did I say something wrong? Even if the emperor is standing here, I dare to say this..."
Wang Zi'an, who was in charge of Erguotou, patted his chest quite boldly.
Killing brother and brother, forcing father to retreat.
In the past few years, it has become a thorn in his heart, a scale that no one dares to touch.
This kid...
Li Shimin's face was ashen and his voice was a little cold.
"Is the emperor so miserable in your eyes?"
Li Shimin's voice was steady without any fluctuation.
Cheng Yaojin, who knew the emperor's temperament well, was looking at him secretly from the side. Prince An was in high spirits, leaning lazily on the back of his chair. Hearing this, he shook his head with some dissatisfaction.
"It's unbearable? Lao Li, what you said is too much -"
Have I passed?
Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and had a sarcastic sneer on his lips. He squinted at this young man who spoke freely.
"Tell me, how did I get through it-"
"To be fair, although Li Er has some flaws in his character, the emperor has done a really good job. He is not even a little better than his father and brother."
Li Shimin's expression couldn't help but soften a little.
This kid finally knows how to speak human words!
"Let me tell you, Old Li, this Li Er is amazing. He has great talent, great strategy, magnanimous bearing, knows people well and is decisive and resolute. Looking at the emperors of ancient and modern times, except for Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, it is difficult to compare with him. !”
This brat actually thinks so highly of me!
If he didn't know, this boy really didn't know his identity, Li Shimin almost thought that this boy was trying every means to please him.
But it feels so good to hear this.
Li Shimin couldn't help but have a smile on his face. Looking at Wang Zi'an who looked admiring, he waved his hand in embarrassment.
"This - cough, Brother Wang, this evaluation has been passed, passed -"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Shimin, who had raised the corners of his mouth but was still pretending to be humble. He curled his lips secretly and complained in his heart. He didn't know who was so angry just now.
"What's wrong with you, Lao Li? I'm not talking about you, you're a small businessman, you know nothing -"
