When the two bowls touched, Zhang Yang took a sip of wine, but Li Tai took a swig.
Zhang Yang thought about it and said, "I think it's risky for me to open a store by myself. I have a business I want to start, and I need to find a reliable partner."
Li Tai reminisced about the taste of the drink: "Are you worried that Li Yuanchang's incident will happen again?"
"It's important to be on guard against others. Although our Tang Dynasty has simple folk customs, it seems that there are quite a lot of bad people at the moment."
Li Tai thought about it and said, "What kind of business do you want to do?"
"Soap, most people today use saponin. Soap can be stored for a long time and can be used anytime."
Zhang Yang took another sip of wine and poured wine into Li Tai's wine bowl, "I wonder if His Highness the King of Wei is interested in becoming my partner."
Li Tai smiled awkwardly, "You don't know something. If this prince participates in the business, my father will skin me."
Zhang Yang looked at the sparkling river and said, "What a pity. This may be a business that can generate tens of thousands of dollars in profits every year."
Li Tai took another sip of wine, "Wait! What did you just say?"
Zhang Yang said: "I said this may be a business that can generate tens of thousands of dollars in profits every year. Since His Highness the King of Wei does not agree, I can also talk to others. The prince even asked me for a drink a few days ago."
"Prince?"
"Yes, it is said that this prince admires me very much. I am going to talk with him about the philosophy of life and the truth in this world."
"Wait a moment!"
Li Tai stood up immediately and said, "I didn't say I couldn't do business with you."
Zhang Yang added: "Actually, I really want to meet the current prince. He is the crown prince of the country. It would be great to have this patron. Who dares to provoke me?"
"Wait, wait!"
Li Tai stepped forward to stop him, "You can't find the prince."
Zhang Yang said with emotion: "Your Highness, King Wei, I know very well that the prince's business will inevitably be unpleasant if word spreads about it, and it will also put a certain burden on His Highness, King Wei. I can understand."
Li Tai stopped Zhang Yang again, "Listen to me! Can I do business with you?"
"really?"
"It's not impossible!"
Seeing Zhang Yang sitting down again.
Li Tai took a deep breath, took another sip of wine and said, "Of course my prince can't do business on his own, but some members of the clan will hand over business to others, and usually such people are cousins or cousins. "
"So this is ah."
Zhang Yang poured another drink for Li Tai.
The autumn wind blew by, causing some waves on the calm river surface.
The little fat man was a little drunk and said drunkenly: "I can arrange for a few trusted cousins to arrange business matters. I will bring people to discuss the following matters with you."
Zhang Yang whispered: "Your Highness, King Wei, you are drunk."
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "I am not drunk, do you know? They all say how noble my father is. In fact, my father is also in trouble in many things, such as the Tuyuhun raids on the border, and there are still people in the court who want to make peace."
"If you want me to say, we should fight Tuyuhun. My father asked Li Jing to defeat the Turks, which established my father's prestige. If it is peace at this time, the Turks' victory will be like a joke."
There were literati in the Tang Dynasty. But the Tang Dynasty also favored martial arts.
Li Shimin also had no shortage of military generals, all of whom had followed Li Shimin in his wars in the north and south.
Now that the Turks have been defeated, everyone is in high spirits.
Even the people in Chang'an City straightened their backs.
Now that Tuyuhun is harassing the border, if the DPRK and China do not want to fight back at this time, they will instead want to negotiate peace.
This will make Datang's previous self-confidence be wasted.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, why are you telling me this?"
Li Tai said: "Some people say that my father is the Khan of Heaven, and Tuyuhun is a small country, so he should issue an order to stop it. If we send troops on this, our father will not have the spirit of the Khan of Heaven."
Zhang Yang pondered and said, "Tuyuhun's neighbor is probably Tubo."
Li Tai nodded and said, "That's right."
"Songtsen Gampo of Tubo was a very ambitious man."
"Are you talking about the little king of Tubo?"
Zhang Yangxin said that regardless of his youth, this Songtsen Gampo would give Datang a headache in the future.
Li Tai took another sip of wine: "What does this have to do with Tubo?"
Zhang Yang said: "Send a message to Songtsan Gampo, saying that the Tang Dynasty wants to teach Tuyuhun a lesson. Now that Songtsan Gampo has just put down the civil strife, it is the time when he wants to establish his authority. Give him the small country of Tuguhun." A dry cloth is just right for practicing."
Seeing Li Tai pour another drink, Zhang Yang grabbed his wine bowl with one hand and said, "Stop drinking."
Li Tai smiled foolishly.
Zhang Yang said to the guard on the side: "Send His Royal Highness the King of Wei back."
"Here!"
The guards left with the drunk Li Tai.
Zhang Yang hung earthworms on the fishhook again and threw the fishhook into the river.
Less than half an hour later, the fishing line moved.
Zhang Yang lifted the fishing rod with force, and the grass carp jumped and fluttered.
Putting the fish into the bamboo basket, holding the fishing rod in one hand and the bamboo basket in the other, Zhang Yang walked back to Chang'an City.
Li Yue is making clothes with her neighbor's Aunt Wang.
Seeing Zhang Yang come back, Li Yue said: "Do you want to eat fish tonight?"
"Um!"
Li Yue sat in the sun and squinted comfortably and said, "Then I want to drink fish soup."
Zhang Yang sat in the yard and started killing fish.
Fish soup is nourishing and is easily digested and absorbed by the human body.
The top half of the fish can be stewed in soup.
The second half is fried with pickles and eaten.
Stir-fry some more wild vegetables.
Zhang Yang dug the garlic and ginger he grew from the yard.
Light the fire on the stove and cook.
Li Yue took a small notebook and recorded Zhang Yang's steps while saying, "I heard that the autumn hunting in Lishan ended early?"
Zhang Yang put half of the fish into the pot, fried it first and said, "I heard that something happened at the border, which caused the autumn hunting to end early."
Li Yue whispered; "Would that affect our business?"
Zhang Yang said: "There will definitely be an impact, but our brand has already established itself, and we are not afraid of losing business. Sales may not be as good as before, but in the future, our family will also have a stable income."
Li Yue nodded vigorously and said: "Yeah! With this store, you don't have to go out to do hard work. This is something worth celebrating. Let's drink at night."
While talking, Li Yue was still recording the steps of cooking, and there were more contents on the small recipes.
A bowl of fish soup, a bowl of fried fish with pickles, and a bowl of fried wild vegetables.
Li Yue took a bite of the tender fish and drank another sip of wine. Her face was full of happiness and she said: "This fish is so tender."
Drinking with your wife is like facing a powerful enemy.
Zhang Yang took a sip of wine and looked at Li Yue's expression.
Although she is young, she drinks very freely.
I marveled at my little daughter-in-law’s terrible drinking capacity.
Zhang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Sure enough, after drinking a bottle of wine, Zhang Yang held his forehead.
This kind of drinking capacity still needs more practice.
Zhang Yang looked at Li Yue's red face and smiled.
Li Yue also smiled.
The couple clinked their wine bowls and drank from each other.
At night, Zhang Yang lay in bed in a daze.
Zhang Yang saw Li Yue helping him take off his coat, but he was so drunk that he had no strength to resist.
After a while, Li Yue returned to her room.
After taking a bath, she had changed into loose pajamas.
The couple fell asleep cuddled together.
My little wife likes to get into my arms.
While he was still awake, Zhang Yang gave her some extra bedding.
Early the next morning, when Zhang Yang woke up, Li Yue was still sleeping in his arms with his eyes closed.
"Its daybreak."
Zhang Yang said.
"Yes." Li Yue responded but still refused to leave his arms.
The story of Tuyuhun soon spread from the government and the public to the public.
Some are fighting and some are making peace.
Some people threatened to fight, and people in the street whispered to each other and talked in low voices.
In the morning, Li Shimin listened to the discussions of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
Changsun Wuji walked out of the court and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should issue an order to immediately stop Tuyuhun from harassing the border defenses. It is not appropriate to send troops at this moment. The war with the Turks has just been settled, and how many years can it take for the civil strife to be settled? It is the time when we need to recuperate. "
Li Shimin nodded slightly after listening to Changsun Wuji's words. What he said was correct.
Now is the time to recuperate, not to mention quelling the internal strife. Just from the external war against the Turks, how many soldiers have shed blood on the battlefield, and the treasury is empty. This year's food harvest has just been harvested.
It is a good time to build up national strength.
On the other side of the court, Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty! The Tuyuhun people are fighting at the door of the house. If you sit back and do nothing, you will be laughed at. If you give me three thousand soldiers and horses, the general will be willing to quell the Tuyuhun for your majesty."
Wei Zheng said: "Cheng Yaojin, don't you need food and fodder for three thousand soldiers and horses? If you lead three thousand soldiers and horses straight into Tuyuhun, the court will not need to support you?"
Yuchi Gong took a step forward to confront Wei Zheng, "Tuyuhun is strong on the outside and strong on the inside. The final general is willing to attack Tuyuhun with Cheng Yaojin."
Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin again: "Your Majesty, you must not start a war."
As soon as Cheng Yaojin raised his voice, the entire Tai Chi Hall was filled with his voice, "Others have beaten me at your door. If this happened to your own door, would you be able to bear it? I think you just look like others." Aspiration destroys one’s own prestige!”
Wei Zheng had veins popping out on his forehead, "Cheng Yaojin, what are you talking about? Although we are not military generals, have we ever feared death in battle!"
Changsun Wuji also said: "We are thinking about the overall situation."
"Haha!" Cheng Yaojin spat loudly, "For the sake of the overall situation, I think it is for the sake of the overall situation that I send troops to teach Tuyuhun a lesson. We, the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, are motivated by this."
Wei Zheng pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said, "How dare you spit in front of the palace! You are so brave."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh of distress. It seemed that the meeting could no longer continue.
He got up and left Tai Chi Hall.
After Li Shimin left, the civil and military ministers no longer had the burden.
When he got up early to go to court, Li Xiaogong hadn't had breakfast yet, so he took out a piece of naan bread and started eating it while watching the excitement in the main hall.
Cheng Yaojin said loudly: "Old Wei Zheng, please try pointing to a certain point again!"
Wei Zheng waved his sleeves disdainfully and said, "A warrior is ashamed to be in the company of you!"
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was about to rush forward, Yuchi Gong quickly stopped him and said, "Cheng Yaojin, forget it."
Cheng Yaojin raised his leg to kick Wei Zheng, but Qin Qiong and others held him back from kicking him.
"Old Wei Zheng, if you have the ability, say it again!"
Cheng Yaojin said angrily.
Wei Zheng pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said, "What's the difference between your behavior and a dog's barking?"
"Oh!"
Cheng Yaojin spat on Wei Zheng's face again.
The scene fell silent for a while.
Wei Zheng wiped the saliva from his face and trembled all over. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward and said, "You old man, I will fight with you!"
Li Shimin had just sat down and had not rested for a while when the guards hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! There is a fight in Tai Chi Hall."
The Tang Dynasty favored martial arts, its generals were tyrannical, and its civil servants were not easy to mess with.
Under the tough folk customs of the Tang Dynasty, the generals were eliminated.
Civil servants are not necessarily very polite either.
The generals had military power, but the civil servants dared to point their fingers at the emperor's nose and scold the emperor without risking their lives. Wei Zheng was a typical example of risking his life, but other civil servants were more tactful than Wei Zheng.
Everyone will argue if they disagree.
If you can't argue, you often start to curse.
Failure to scold the other party will result in violent conflict.
There are many things that you can do without saying anything.
Even if there is a fight, various methods are used frequently.
If you can't beat him with your fists and kicks, bite him with your teeth.
They may even hit her with their heads, and those who are more aggressive will use their vaginal legs.
It can be regarded as a different kind of scenery.
After hearing the guard's report, Li Shimin whispered: "How's the fight going? Let's go and investigate."
"Here!"
As long as it does not affect the unity of the monarch and his ministers, this kind of thing is no longer strange to Li Shimin.
A guard hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, Cen Wenwen, the deputy minister of Zhongshu, was punched in the nose and his nose is bleeding."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh.
Another guard hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, Duke Zhao was knocked down by General Cheng's punch and he hasn't gotten up yet."
Li Shimin wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Let everyone in the Imperial Medical Office prepare."
"Here!"
"Report! Prince Hejian's ear was bitten by Wei Zheng, the admonishing doctor, and blood is already visible."
"I understand."
"Report! General Yuchigong's uniform was torn."
"Report! His Royal Highness the King of Wei was kicked out of Tai Chi Hall in the chaos."
Li Shimin wiped away his sweat and suddenly came to his senses, "What did you say?"
The guard replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei was kicked out of the Tai Chi Palace. The scene was so chaotic that I couldn't see whose kick it was."
"hiss……"
Li Shimin took a breath of cold air, "Why does Li Tai go to the Tai Chi Hall to join in the fun?"
The guard replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei was just passing by and wanted to break up the fight. Unfortunately, he got involved in a chaotic fight. He is now unconscious on the spot and has been sent to the Imperial Medical Office."
"These bastards!"
Li Shimin stood up after snapping the case and said loudly: "Send Jin Wuwei to Tai Chi Hall to calm the situation."
"Here!"
Li Shimin also asked: "Anyone who takes action in Tai Chi Hall should be brought to me!"
"Here!"
After a while, a group of disheveled civil and military ministers with bruised noses and faces were brought into the Manna Hall.
Li Shimin looked at the crowd and said angrily: "Look at what you are like. Each and every one of you is still a minister. Are you fighting in the Tai Chi Hall? If you spread the word, people will laugh!"
Cheng Yaojin pointed at Wei Zheng: "Your Majesty, it was he who did it!"
Wei Zheng pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said loudly: "Cheng Yaojin, you don't have to spit on others! I will fight with you!"
