Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 197 Li Shimin's Toast

It felt like the blood in my whole body was about to boil, as if I was in a fire, but after waiting for a long time, after the burning sensation that made my scalp tingle, I could feel a sweet aftertaste.

The aroma of wine seemed to fill their internal organs instantly. They opened their mouths and burped, and the entire hall was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde's appearance, Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin raised their brows slightly, and tentatively picked up the wine glasses in front of them, but they dared not drink freely, but just tasted it.

It was soft in the mouth, but the taste of the wine was rich and sweet. It swept over all their taste buds in an instant, and conquered their taste buds with just one sip. Both Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin believed that this wine was indeed better than San Lejiang!
"Huh, this wine is strong, beautiful, and good!" Cheng Yaojin took a long time to relax, and his whole body seemed to come to life.

The same is true for Yuchi Jingde, "Hahaha...good wine, as expected, there is no comparison between San Lejiang and this wine, only this wine is the best in the world!"

Several princes began to exchange glasses. With such good wine and so many appetizers, they couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

Li Shimin had already sensed it at this time, Li Fu did not exaggerate, the aroma of wine from Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde's side was obviously much stronger, although his own side was also quite strong, but it was by no means as strong as that of Cheng Yaojin and theirs.

Looking at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde's flushed expressions after drinking, and seeing Li Fu and Changsun Pingting drinking one glass after another without changing their expressions, Li Shimin understood a lot of things better.

Obviously Li Fu was aiming at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, giving himself and Changsun Wuji the real good wine, not strong wine like Cheng Yaojin and the others.

I'm afraid that after the meal is over, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde will definitely be carried back.

"Prince, I offer you a toast!" Li Shimin suddenly stood up when he thought of this, and picked up his glass.

Li Fu was stunned when he saw this, he didn't expect Li Shimin to do this to him.

This is the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er is the emperor. How can a father toast his son, and the king to his ministers?
Li Fu quickly stood up, held up his wine glass, and the eldest grandson Pingting also stood up holding the wine glass.

As for Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and the others, they were stunned and didn't know what happened.

Li Shimin held his wine glass and said: "The people of Shu, if you hadn't taken the initiative to deal with the serious illness of the Supreme Emperor, I'm afraid there will be an irreparable catastrophe in the Tang Dynasty this time!"

"Even I will be charged with an unwarranted crime, so I respect you for this glass of wine!"

Li Shimin drank it all in one gulp, and immediately poured himself another glass of wine. Before Li Fu could speak, he said, "I'll toast you a second glass of wine, thank you for bringing mahjong to the Supreme Emperor!"

"That mahjong is really a good thing. The gap between me and the Supreme Emperor is gradually showing signs of thawing. Originally, the Supreme Emperor would treat me like nothing when he saw me, but now the Supreme Emperor saw me. Finally, he can have a smiling face. .”

Li Shimin gulped it down again, he really showed his true feelings when he said these words.

After the change of Xuanwumen, he has been carrying many things by himself. Those things are like huge boulders, which make Li Shimin unable to breathe, and the biggest one is Li Yuan.

Li Shimin's feelings for Li Yuan are complicated. He wants to firmly control Li Yuan, but also worries that people in the world will blame him for imprisoning Li Yuan.

But as a royal, if you want to sit in the position of the ninety-five lord, you have to give up some things.

Therefore, Li Shimin has been struggling in entanglement and pain all the time, and after experiencing the two incidents of smallpox and mahjong, the conflict and pain between Li Shimin and Li Yuan and his son have finally been reduced a lot.

"Okay, let's stop talking, I'll toast you one last glass, everything is in the wine, I'm done!" After finishing speaking, Li Shimin drank another glass, and Li Fu quickly drank the wine with his eldest grandson Pingting.

Perhaps because he drank a little too quickly, Li Shimin finally couldn't hold back the alcohol, coughed violently, and instantly alarmed Changsun Wuji and others.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and eat vegetables, come here, bring some water..."

All the princes hurried forward to comfort him, so Li Fu stopped moving forward, but the way he looked at Li Shimin changed.

In fact, no matter whether it is smallpox or mahjong, to him, they are just small things, not worth mentioning.

But Li Fu didn't expect that such a little thing he did unintentionally could have such a big influence on Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, we all know that the Supreme Emperor contracted smallpox, but what is this mahjong thing?"

It was so easy, seeing that Li Shimin was back to normal, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde couldn't help asking a lot, so Li Shimin explained briefly.

After listening to Li Shimin's explanation, the eyes of the three princes lit up, and they expressed that they would also like to learn mahjong. Li Fu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

[I really want to play mahjong, if you drink at your speed, I'm afraid you will fall down soon. 】

[Hehe, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde have both downed half a jug of wine, hehe, according to such a pour, I'm afraid I won't even think about it tomorrow! 】

[Today, I didn’t expect that Li Er would reveal his true feelings to the employer. He was really good at pretending. 】

[What is a person doing with so many things on his back? If you really want to ease the relationship, it's actually too simple. You only need to do one thing, and I'm afraid their father and son can get back together. 】

[And maybe the common people in the world, all the rich and powerful families, and the ministers in the court can see Li Er's filial piety to Li Yuan. Li Er really never thought of such a thing that can achieve multiple goals in one fell swoop? 】

Hearing Li Fu's heartfelt voice, Li Er's eyes widened, and his heart gasped.

Filial piety, these two words, weigh heavily on Li Er's heart. How could he not know that these two words are an endless barrier between him and Li Yuan, which cannot be crossed at all.

But from ancient times to the present, no matter when and where, filial piety is absolutely supreme, whether it is the emperor or the common people, must respect filial piety.

If an emperor loses his filial piety, he will be cast aside by the people of the world, and even the courtiers around him will be alienated because of this.

As for Li Shimin, his position was not right, and his words were not right. Even if he suppressed it with thunderous means, he still often fell into the predicament of being blamed all the time.

But Li Shimin still hopes to be recognized by the people of the world from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he is a filial emperor.

But Li Shimin has always been at a loss for what to do, and he lacks the momentum to do anything, and Li Yuan doesn't cooperate.

But at this moment, Li Fu said that he has a solution, how can this not make Li Shimin overjoyed...
