Chapter 233
Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin sat cross-legged in front of the desk, staring at the stack of melodies in front of him in a daze.

Earlier, the captain came to report that Yang Xia was defeated and was still humiliated in the ring.The Tubo envoys and their entourage were full of obscenities, and their arrogant words completely ignored the warriors of the Tang Dynasty.

As the lord of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was somewhat unwilling and resentful.

Eunuch Rong, who was still persuading His Majesty to be at ease, is now fidgeting.Looking at the untouched food in the corner of the desk, he didn't dare to say anything at all.

"A few people in the area dare to act recklessly in the Great Tang Imperial City."

"Come on, pass on my will and call the Tubo envoys into the palace."

Eunuch Rong knew in his heart that His Majesty was unwilling and forcibly detained the Tubo envoys to interrogate him.

As a monarch, he is emotional and reasonable, but if he speaks out, he still seems to be protecting his weaknesses.

After hesitating for a moment, he took small steps and headed out of the palace.

"Report~"

The elongated voice resounded outside the palace courtyard, followed by hurried footsteps.

Yue Kai was about to persuade Eunuch Rong, and Li Junxian, who came to report, went straight into the palace, bowed and knelt down.

Before Li Junxian could speak, Li Shimin spoke first with a gloomy face.

"If it's the news of Wubi's defeat, there's no need to report it again!"

As soon as the words came out, Li Shimin flicked his sleeves angrily, got up and turned aside, flipping through the books.

Li Junxian's joyful face was slightly suffocated, and he smiled and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, where there is defeat, Datang has won."

Inside the palace, there was a faint fragrance. Standing in front of the bookshelf, Li Shimin paused holding the scroll and turned his head.

"Win? Who is it?"

"General Cheng got drunk on the street and strayed into the arena. Not only did he beat up the Tubo barbarian who humiliated no one, he also beat up the leader of the Tubo envoys."

"With one against five, we will not lose the slightest bit."

Li Junxian continued to speak with the lids of his eyes slightly upwards, taking a look at the figure with frowning eyebrows.

"General Cheng seems to be quite drunk..."

Can you beat someone while drunk?

Li Shimin was happy.

At the moment Scroll turned around and walked towards the main hall with his hands behind his back, finally he couldn't help laughing out loud at the door.

"It seems that Duke Lu's treasured sword is not old, and he still has the momentum to break through the formation and kill the enemy when he was young."

"It's a good beating, a good beating!"

After complimenting him twice, Li Shimin restrained his smile, pondered for a moment before asking.

"The envoy of Tubo, is the injury serious?"

Tubo came from afar, in the final analysis, relying on the intention of being an envoy, and when taking care of the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, it still has to consider the influence to some extent.

After all, now that the prosperous age is beginning to emerge, there are mixed fish and dragons in the imperial city of the Tang Dynasty, and some rumors are spreading, which is degrading to the reputation.

Among the words, Li Shimin beckoned for Li Junxian to get up and speak.

Li Junxian got up, stood beside Gong Yu, pondered for a moment before responding.

"The envoy headed by Tubo was punched in the eye, but it's nothing serious to faint."

"As for that arrogant giant, his hands and feet were badly injured, and his muscles and bones were shattered. I'm afraid he won't be healthy for a few months."

Li Shimin gave a long 'hmm', walked across the threshold with his hands behind his back, looked out the window at the clear sky, and murmured.

"Drunk and hurting people? It sounds interesting. Could it be Li Xian's idea again?"

Li Junxian smiled and clapped his hands in response.

"Your Majesty's guess is correct."

"Ordinary wine is rarely heard of intoxicating people. Duke Lu is known as the hero and devil king in wine. He can drink it every time to make his belly swell, without reducing his drunkenness at all."

"But this time, he was so drunk that he was exaggerating, and he was still talking nonsense in the ring. It's just that the minister found out that it wasn't Li Xian who did it on purpose, but Lu Guogong secretly drinking, and entered the ring by mistake."

After hearing these words, Li Shimin laughed dumbfounded and waved his arms.

"It's God's will."

"According to Lu Guogong's temperament, I am afraid that he will never come to power without my decree."

"Okay, let's go down, prepare two army sticks and wait for orders."

Ok?
Li Junxian turned his head in astonishment, and looked down at the smiling figure.

"Your Majesty means..."

"Tubo came from a long way, after all, he is a guest. Hey~ Lu Guogong, just bear with it."

"promise!"

……

Chengfu.

The figure on the gold silk bed was snoring like thunder, and the smell of alcohol surged up with every breath.

Mrs. Cheng dragged the corner of the quilt to cover the sleeping figure, and wiped the sweat on her forehead with a square towel in her hand.

"I don't know what are the benefits of that spicy fermented wine. I just think about drinking all day, and the father and son are exactly the same. It's really worrying!"

"I see that you are thinking about the newly brewed wine in the winery every day. Maybe one day, His Majesty will be charged with dereliction of duty and punish you properly."

After the voice fell, footsteps and Cheng Chumo's shouts came from outside the window.

"Father? Mother?"

"What are you shouting for! My mansion is yelling, you are not a three-year-old child."

While speaking, Madam Cheng pushed open the door of the north room, walked out gracefully, greeted the three of them, and closed the door behind her.

"Your father didn't know where he was drinking again, reeking of alcohol, and just fell asleep."

"Mr. Li, sit inside Mr. Qin's room. I'll prepare tea."

Li Xian waved his hand to indicate to Mrs. Cheng that there is no need to be polite, and waved as a gesture of invitation, leading them to chat in the backyard.

"Mrs. Cheng, this time General Cheng showed his might and repelled the barbarians of Tubo, fighting for the Tang Dynasty's face."

"Tubo and his party are isolated and helpless in the city. They will definitely sue His Majesty for this loss of face.

"Your Majesty is the king of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to favor the Cheng family, you probably can't just say a word and leave the Tubo envoys alone. The visitor is a guest. In terms of emotion and reason, General Cheng may be punished with a smile. ..."

Deliberately making things small, but in fact Li Xian didn't have much confidence in his heart.

On the way here, I have already analyzed the current situation with the two people beside me, and this remark also made Mrs. Cheng a little psychologically prepared earlier.

"Oh, what to do with this one!"

Mrs. Cheng's heart sank when she heard the word "punishment", and her eyes were filled with mist.

Throughout the ages, the punishments issued by His Majesty have ranged from prison disasters to family ruin and death.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, Madam Cheng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and staggered.

"God damn old man, I just said that wine harms people, once drunk, people and animals can't be distinguished."

"Look, now that such a big disaster has been caused, it will not be guaranteed at the end of the festival, and it will bring death to our Cheng family."

"This... how can this be done!"

Cheng Chumo took his mother's arm and went to wipe away the tears with the scarf.

"Hi! Mom, Dad is now a great hero in the imperial city, and everyone knows that he insulted Tang Dynasty."

"Brother Li also said just now that Tubo is just a little angry and looking for trouble."

"Brother Li has already asked me to tell the prison, what other official positions are there to handle the law."

"Don't be afraid, it's fine."

Li Xian was also a little embarrassed, his cheeks were a little hot standing there.

Originally, this fermented wine was something I made on a whim, in order to warm my body when I went deep into the desert wasteland.

Who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin was so addicted to alcohol and made mistakes that would never have happened!
Li Xian coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and patted his chest.

"Mrs. Cheng, this matter happened because of me. I will definitely not stand by and watch."

"When His Majesty summons General Cheng some other day, I will go together, and I will ensure that Cheng's mansion is safe and sound."

Hey~
Mrs. Cheng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sucked her nose.

"I'm a girl, but I'm not hard-hearted."

"Mr. Li, I don't blame you at this time. If you want to blame, you can blame this old man who is half buried in the ground..."

Li Xian couldn't listen to these words, and waved his hands quickly.

"That... I'll go get ready first and ask for news."

"Goodbye, goodbye."
