At this time, the barbecue party was in the second half.
Su Chen, who was eating and drinking in the palace, didn't know that Yuan Tiangang from Zhongnan Mountain was telling his fortune!
It should be said that Yuan Tiangang was really awesome, and he could actually say that Su Chen was a "dead man".
However, even if Yuan Tiangang vomited three liters of blood, he couldn't count that there was such a person as Su Chen in the Tang Dynasty, because strictly speaking, Su Chen was not a person in this world.
"Old Wang, here! Have a bottle of beer to moisten your throat."
Wang Defa, who was standing between Li Chengqian and Su Chen, had just finished eating the skewers in his hand, and Su Chen picked up a bottle of beer from the table and handed it to him.
Su Chen also thought about asking Wang Defa to sit down and have a drink together, but Su Chen knew that there were many rules in the palace. Wang Defa would never sit with them. Old Wang sometimes played tricks in front of Li Shimin, but he would never be arrogant because of his favor.
"Oh! Lord, you are embarrassing me. This beer is so precious. How can you spend it on me? Lord, please don't do that."
Wang Defa bowed his waist, gently pushed the beer handed by Su Chen with both hands, and declined.
Su Chen was unhappy, "Old Wang, what are you doing? It's just a bottle of beer, drink it! His Majesty won't blame you."
The amount of beer is indeed not much, and Su Chen can't take care of other guards and eunuchs, but Old Wang is someone Su Chen agrees with. He is kind and treats Su Chen like a kind elder to a younger generation.
"Lord, please don't do that, it's not allowed!" Wang Defa refused again with a firm attitude.
"General Manager Wang, you have followed my father for many years, and you have been loyal and hardworking. It's just a bottle of wine. Why would my father care about it?" Li Chengqian on the side advised.
In other words, Su Chen didn't take Old Wang as a high official. Let alone the ministers in the court, even if they were princes like Li Chengqian, Wang Defa was important in their eyes.
Because the one who spent the most time with Li Shimin was not the princes, but Wang Defa!
"Your Highness, Marquis, this old slave..." Wang Defa knew that if he refused again, he would be ignorant. He would also offend the prince and the marquis, so he had no choice but to secretly look at Li Shimin not far away.
Li Shimin had been paying attention to the movements here, and he had seen everything that had just happened. But now he pretended not to see it, and he didn't care that Wang Defa drank his bottle of beer.
Li Shimin turned around and looked at the empty bottle on the ground behind him, then stood up and lowered his head and walked around the table.
After walking around, Li Shimin felt distressed.
There were three empty bottles behind each person at this table, and Li Shi drank four bottles.
After Li Shimin sat back in his seat, everyone looked at him strangely and asked:
"Your Majesty, did you lose something?"
Li Shimin forced a smile and waved his hand, saying, "Nothing, just moving around after sitting for a long time."
"I don't know how much beer is left. If you drink it this way, it will be drunk by these idiots."
Just as Li Shimin was thinking about how to get these people to drink less beer, Wang Defa ran towards Li Shimin with a bottle of beer.
Li Shimin knew what Wang Defa meant by this and stretched out his hand to stop Wang Defa. Old Wang understood instantly, bowed to Li Shimin, turned around and ran back to Su Chen's table, stood behind Su Chen and sipped the beer slowly.
Li Shimin accidentally saw Old Wang holding the bottle and sipping beer, and his eyes lit up.
"Everyone, although this beer is not intoxicating, it is very easy to bloat. Drinking too quickly is always not good. Next, drink three cups and taste it slowly. Everyone...what do you think?" Li Shimin asked in a slightly threatening tone.
The ministers understood instantly through Li Shimin's strange behavior of bowing his head and walking around the table, as well as what he said just now.
"This stingy man must be worried about the beer and thinks they drink too fast."
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and should do so!" Changsun Wuji bowed his hands, and the others followed suit.
"Hahaha, that's good. Come on, everyone, eat more, drink three cups!" Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction.
......
"Hey! In the hot summer, I don't know where Changsun Chong and Daniu have repaired the road! This beer must be saved for them." Su Chen suddenly sighed.
Su Chen and his friends were happily gathering together to drink beer and eat barbecue. There were also eight brothers outside, who were sleeping in the open all day repairing the road.
"I guess the road construction team has not left Jingzhao Prefecture yet. Su Chen, in a few days, shall we go to see Daniu and his team?"
Su Chen nodded first, then shook his head and said to Li Tai: "It's okay to go to see Changsun Chong and his team, but you, the King of Wei, don't have time to go."
"Why?" Li Tai asked.
"The candidates arranged by His Majesty will gather at the manor tomorrow. This time you will be responsible for teaching them in person and make sure they master pinyin and lowercase numbers as soon as possible.
Printing books is urgent. Some of the candidates will serve as teachers in the school after training."Li Tai nodded silently upon hearing this. He was not afraid of the lice on his body now. Li Tai would not refuse anything Su Chen gave him, but would enjoy doing it.
Li Chengqian suddenly said excitedly: "Su Chen, I can go with you! Tomorrow I will send people to follow the cement road that has been repaired to find out where Changsun Chong and his team have built the cement road.
By then, we will bring saltpeter to make ice on site, so we can have beer and barbecue, right? What do you think?"
Li Chengqian spent more than ten days in the manor in the first half of the month, and should stay in the palace in the second half of the month to discuss scriptures and preach with the great Confucian scholars, and help Li Shimin deal with some government affairs.
Su Chen nodded and replied: "We will set off in two days. Tomorrow, the King of Wei and I will receive the candidates first.
Prince, you should find the imperial physicians in the palace these two days and ask them to get a prescription for heatstroke prevention and cooling, and use it to make herbal tea to relieve the heat of the brothers who are building the road and the people."
"That's great! I will report to my father tomorrow and try to collect as many herbs as possible."
Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian and the others seemed to be discussing something important, but he couldn't hear what they were talking about. Driven by curiosity, Li Shimin felt itchy.
He raised his hand to greet Wang Defa, who put down the wine bottle and trotted over.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Defa came to Li Shimin's side and bowed to listen to his instructions.
"What are those guys talking about?" Li Shimin asked directly.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis thought of the eldest son of the Duke and the sons of the Dukes, who were tired from repairing the roads outside and could not reunite with everyone. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei suggested that he go out of the city to visit and reward them another day.
The Marquis refused the Prince of Wei because the Marquis asked His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei to be responsible for the training of the candidates sent to the manor. As for the printing of books, the Prince of Wei was busy.
Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would go with the Marquis and bring saltpeter for making ice, beer and other things to reward everyone.
In addition, the Marquis suggested that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask the imperial physician to prepare a secret recipe for cooling down the heat and cook herbal tea for everyone to prevent heatstroke and cool down. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed and reported to Your Majesty tomorrow to collect medicinal materials."
Wang Defa relayed in detail what the Crown Prince and others had said to Li Shimin and others.
"Your Majesty, please allow this old minister to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes on behalf of that useless bastard." Changsun Wuji was the first to express his gratitude.
Several other dukes also expressed their gratitude. Li Jing's son Li Dejian did not spend much time with Su Chen and the others because he had an actual position in the army.
