Datang: Encouraging Li Er to rebel, being overheard

Chapter 15

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin for a long time, then laughed silently.

"So, His Royal Highness just wanted to give Wei Zheng a blow?"

But Wei Zheng wasn't angry either, he glanced at Du Ruhui and the others who were looking at him expectantly, and nodded.

"Then I will follow the new prince."

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, nestled aside, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

After some advice, Li Shimin discovered to his astonishment that putting Wei Zheng in Shandong as a consolation envoy and doing things cheaply was the best way to deal with it.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Li Shimin looked for the crowd, and after a while, he found Li Chengqian who was hiding in a corner and didn't want to show his face.

Suddenly he was so angry that he ran over to pull Li Chengqian out and looked at Li Chengqian who looked embarrassed.

"What are you doing hiding in there, you bastard?"

[Did you make me force you to chatter?I'm still worrying about how the three strong men carried it away. 】

There was a burst of complaints in his heart, but Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with a wishful smile.

"Dad, you see that you have recruited a new person, and you must be happy. I can't stand up and affect dad's mood, right?"

At this time, Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and asked with a smile.

"Earlier, I heard that His Royal Highness shut up his son-in-law in his room to make wine in a fit of anger. Looking at it now, it is also because the son-in-law is too naughty."

Listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes immediately. The old man's words were always a bit harsh.

After that, Wei Zheng and Li Shimin confronted each other, but even so, Li Shimin didn't kill Wei Zheng, but said the phrase that you can know the gains and losses with people as a mirror.

For this alone, Li Chengqian felt a little admired.

After all, an emperor who was pointed at his nose and scolded every day, but still able to bear it, is indeed quite cowhide.

While Li Chengqian was feeling emotional, Li Shimin glanced at him lightly, and asked with his hands behind his back.

"Chengqian, speaking of wine making, what kind of wine is that? Can you make Cheng Yaojin and the others drunk?"

When mentioning the wine he brewed, Li Chengqian raised his brows, and smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"Father, the wine I brew is good. People who don't drink well can fall down in just one sip. Uncle Cheng and the others don't listen to my advice and drink too much. They will definitely not be able to bear it."

Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders helplessly after speaking, looking innocent.

Seeing this innocent appearance, Li Shimin's face darkened slightly.

At this moment, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Yaojin's son, ran over.

Seeing Li Chengqian, Cheng Chumo saluted him, then looked at Li Shimin and saluted in the same way.

"His Royal Highness, father has been here for a long time, and mother saw that he has not returned, so she asked me to come over and bring father back."

Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smack his mouth a few times. Cheng Yaojin's famous name was still not as good as the woman at home.

Typical strict wives.

Li Shimin waved to Li Chengqian, and then dismissed all the courtiers present.

And he followed them to Li Chengqian's courtyard.

He wants to see what kind of wine it is, and it can make Cheng Yaojin drunk.

【Well, they drank that little wine and threw it away. I hope Li Shimin won't ask me for a bar when he passes by. I originally wanted to count on this little wine to make money. 】

[Li Shimin is too stingy, what do you do with only that little money every month? 】

[Even if I became the prince, I didn't mention it to me. Is it easy for me? 】

Li Chengqian kept sighing in his heart.

Li Shimin listened to this voice with a blank face, pretending not to hear it.

He only has a little money every month, even the emperor, the monthly expenses are very strict.

However, regarding his son's talk about selling wine, Li Shimin frowned, and his face was a bit tangled. He felt that he had to tell Li Chengqian the reason why officials do not compete with the people for profit.

Confused along the way, he soon arrived at Li Chengqian's room.

I could see three drunk men lying in Li Chengqian's room, and Cheng Yaojin was snoring at this time, it was really loud.

"Father, look at them, they don't look like generals at all."

Angrily looking at Cheng Yaojin and his friends, Li Chengqian pointed at Cheng Yaojin and the others and shouted at Li Shimin.

It's a pity that Li Shimin's eyes are now fully focused on the half glass of wine on the table.

The aroma of the wine from the wine glass made his eyes shine.

"Good wine, Chengqian, how did you do it?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Li Shimin in disbelief.

【Oops, it's not because of my wine, is it?If you want me any more, I'm really gone, just a little bit, leave me some goods. 】

[If my wine is put on the market, even if a cup costs ten taels of silver, there will still be people who want it. Don't you feel distressed when you drink it? 】

The complaints were heard by Li Shimin verbatim, and immediately Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian in astonishment, staring at him for a long time.

Until Li Chengqian was stared at a little bit hairy by him, he felt frightened and shrank his neck on the spot.

"What's the matter, dad? Dad, if you want to drink, I'll get you some later, but they drank too much, and there's not much left now."

Li Chengqian, who originally wanted to hide some bootleg wine and sell it for money, finally chose to compromise in the face of Li Shimin's eyes.

But what surprised him was that Li Shimin shook his head and pointed to the wine glass on the table.

"You just give me a cup like this, just one cup is all you need."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded repeatedly.

Facing their father and son, Cheng Chumo followed beside him, trembling, and dared not say anything.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin getting drunk and falling to the ground, snoring like a dead dog, Cheng Chumo felt a little speechless in his heart.

It never occurred to me that I could see my father like this when I came here this time.

It's a long experience.

Not long after, Cheng Chumo poured a glass of wine and handed it to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin tasted it, he put down the wine glass expressionlessly, resisting the burning sensation in his heart, and gently forehead.

"This wine is really good, but too spicy."

[Tsk, it’s much better than the wine you squinted your eyes to taste before. The wine at the No. [-] restaurant in the Tang Dynasty looks and feels like swishing water. 】

Whoosh water?

Li Shimin's face darkened suddenly, which means that all he drank was bad water?

But he really couldn't refute this sentence. After all, compared with the glass of wine he was drinking now, those things did count.

"What are you going to do with the wine?"

"Ah? I just keep it for myself to drink. I make wine just for myself to drink. I'm not used to drinking those outside."

Li Chengqian was a little guilty when Li Shimin asked the sudden question.

At the same time, he kept muttering in his heart.

[After becoming the prince, are you so free? 】

[The promised state affairs will be handed over to you? 】

[You are staring at me here now, why not think about how to reform after you succeed to the throne. 】

[Anyway, it won’t be long before you become emperor. 】

Now Li Yuan has given Li Shimin the power to make decisions about all matters in the country. It won't be long before Li Shimin will inherit the throne.

This is already a done deal.

But Li Chengqian never thought that his father would be so idle, like clinging to him every day.
