Chapter 133 Hero Wine
Yilan Palace has been Tang Ji's palace since Liu Xie took Tang Ji back from Li Jie. It has always been the quietest place in the entire palace. Liu Xie knew that his sister-in-law liked silence, so she rarely disturbed this peace except for occasionally sending pets such as cats and dogs.
However, in recent times, the peace in Yilan Palace has been broken. Fifty powerful guards are around guarding the area within a radius of a hundred feet. In addition to the palace maids of Yilan Palace itself, even the palace ladies in the palace are not allowed to approach, but even if they are far away, in recent days, the strong fragrance in the air that makes people want to get drunk just by smelling it.
"If the emperor's sister-in-law is unwell, I have ordered someone to clean up Ningxiang Pavilion. The emperor's sister-in-law might as well stay there for a few days." Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Tang Ji who was slightly drunk, and smiled gently.
"In this way, it will make people suspicious." Tang Ji shook her head, touched the kitten in her arms that seemed to have fallen asleep, and smiled gently: "But now, Chang'an and even Guanzhong are suffering from disasters. It's a bit a bit if His Majesty wasted food here..."
After all, I can't say anything about blame. Although the boy in front of me is young, he is very independent. However, Tang Ji always feels that this is not the time to do these things.
"I have great use of this thing. If I had no choice, I would not have brewed it at this time." Liu Xie narrowed his eyes, breathed the fragrance of wine in the air, and shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem. I have already settled the food and grass in the future and will not ruin people's livelihood."
"I am a great country, and I am a wife, and I don't have much to say. Your Majesty knows it." Tang Ji nodded and stopped asking more.
"Your Majesty." Wei Zhong came in with a cup of sake, came straight to Liu Xie, and bowed and said, "This is the finished product sent from the front yard, please taste it."
"This wine is too strong, I won't drink it anymore, I'll give it to you." Liu Xie shook his head. He naturally knew how powerful this thing was. He didn't drink much in his previous life. It was a good product for those who are good at drinking, but not for those who don't have this mouthful.
"I dare not." Wei Zhong smiled bitterly.
"Drink, this thing is good. In the future, you may not even be able to drink it." Liu Xie smiled.
"Oh" Wei Zhong had a bitter face. He was not a few years older than Liu Xie, and because of his position, he almost never drank wine on weekdays. Although he didn't want to drink it at this moment, he could not violate the order. He could only act bravely and act like he was killed. He held his breath, raised his head, and poured the wine in the wine down.
"Cough cough" The spicy feeling erupted from the chest in an instant, rushing straight to the top of the cow like a volcano eruption, and then spreading all over the body. The feeling of a flame burning in his throat made Wei Zhong couldn't help but cough out all the wine in his throat and the wine in his cup.
"It's a waste of resources!" Looking at Wei Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground and coughing while kowtowing in panic, Liu Xie reached out to help him up: "Do you know that many drunkards want to buy this thing but have nowhere to sell it."
"I deserve to die!" Wei Zhong was startled and said quickly.
"Okay, if I drink it, I'm not much better than you." Liu Xie patted Wei Zhong's back, making him feel more angry. As a result, another cup of wine brought by Yuxiu smelled it and nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps the industry is much worse than the previous life, but if you want to talk about technology, as long as you have a plan, the winemakers of this era are no less worse than those of the winemakers of the previous life.
"Your Majesty." Yu Xiu bowed and said, "Liao Jiang said that the wine is of no less good than Du Kang. I beg Your Majesty to give him a name."
"Give me a name?" Liu Xie looked at the wine in the wine and smiled, "I called it a hero bar. It's not enough to drink if it's a hero. It's a waste to use it on a group of Hu Man."
"Here, thank Your Majesty for giving him the name." Yu Xiu said with a smile.
"It's not for you, what do you thank?" Liu Xie shook his head and smiled, "Tell Liao Jiang that there is a shortage of food and grass now. Since there is a finished product, I will make all the grains I gave him into wine. It doesn't need to be too mellow. As long as it is strong enough, the better the more intense it is, it must be made as soon as possible. I have great use."
"Here!" Yu Xiu bowed and retreated.
"Why don't the emperor sister-in-law come or not? It's hard to buy a fortune." Liu Xie looked at Tang Ji and said.
"I don't have to do it anymore. It smells pretty fragrant, but..." Tang Ji looked at Wei Zhong who had already started to stagger, and shook his head gently: "I'm afraid you will lose your composure."
"Haha, that's right, then I'll leave here to the care of my sister-in-law. There are still many things to deal with in the city, so I'll leave first." Liu Xie nodded slightly to Tang Ji, helped Wei Zhong walk out of the hall, handed Wei Zhong to Wan'er and Yuxiu who were accompanying him, and asked them to take him to rest. In addition to Yilan Palace, he took Niu Geng to walk out of the palace.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan have not arranged official positions yet. Although these two generals have been appointed, since they are said to fight for the generals, Liu Xie, as the emperor, naturally cannot break his promises. Therefore, the two are still in the martial arts hall. They just heard that these two people have been quite enthusiastic about helping the Hu Ben Guard maintain public order in the past few days, or simply helping the people work directly.
Before taking office, it is good to experience the sufferings of the people. Whether it is an official or a general, it is good. Liu Xie naturally cannot come forward to encourage such things, but he really has a little more favorable impression of these two generals.
"Are those Huns still at peace recently?" After Liu Xie left the palace gate, he took the lead in getting Ding Chong. Liu Xie was not very relieved about these Huns.
"I'm very at ease, but I've been urging the old minister these days, hoping that Your Majesty can decide which princess will marry you as soon as possible." Ding Chong bowed.
To get along with the Huns is basically a consensus reached by civil and military officials in the court. The current situation is simply impossible to change anything. Therefore, whether Ding Chong, who is a specialist in diplomacy or Yang Biao, does not feel that there is no need to delay any further.
"Let him wait. Even if he wants to marry, the candidates should be chosen by me on this day!" Liu Xie snorted coldly and said calmly.
"Here!" Ding Chong heard this and saw that Liu Xie's face was unhappy, he did not dare to say more.
"Tell him that in January, I will have a prosperous era in Chang'an. At that time, I will invite them to participate. I will give them a satisfactory reply when the princess is married. "When I suppressed the depression in my chest, Liu Xie said in a deep voice.
Although I hate this feeling, at least in terms of attitude, I must not neglect these Huns. Guanzhong has just returned to stability, so it is really not appropriate to cause trouble again.
"Here." Ding Chong nodded.
"I was so upset that I was a little heavy just now. I hope I won't blame you." Liu Xie's face relaxed a little and said apologizing to Ding Chong.
"Your Majesty cannot do this." Ding Chong waved his hand quickly and said with a wry smile: "As a Han minister, we cannot share the worries of the king. Instead, we want the princess to marry far away. It is really incompetent. Your Majesty is unhappy. I can understand it myself, so I must not do this."
Liu Xie nodded and began to ask some other things. Zhu Jun's horse exploration had already returned. The Huns actually set up troops in the straight road, and the number seemed to be quite large. Zhu Jun has not further investigated the specific data, but it should not be less than 30,000. This is a bottom line number reported by Zhu Jun to Liu Xie, and it is also a certain number. After all, the Huns do not know how to arrange troops and arrange troops. The data statistics are even more troublesome.
This is also an important reason why Liu Xie can tolerate Huchuquan.
As for the restoration work in Chang'an, with Liu Xie's introduction of a management plan that uses labor-for-relief and layered and linked, it has now been on the right track. As long as the people below do the rest step by step, Liu Xie is responsible for the inspection of some important decisions, there is basically no problem, and he doesn't need to worry too much.
"Hey, stop, you can't go in!" Just as the two of them were discussing, Niu Geng's angry shout suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Let me go, you reckless man!" Liu Xie turned his head and looked at him. He was just seeing Niu Geng pick up a sick young man with one hand like a chicken. The young man's limbs kept fluttering in the air, which was extremely funny.
Even though he was far away, Liu Xie could smell a smell of alcohol and frowned slightly: "How did he come in?"
This is Ding Chong's office. Although it is not said that the garrison is strict, no one can come in casually.
"I don't know. This man rushed in somehow. He didn't see the guards outside stopping him. He was clamoring to drink." Niu Geng held the young man and said with a confused look on his face.
"I said, this hero, can you put your place down first? You have lost your etiquette!" At this moment, the young man seemed to have sobered up a little bit, reached out to hold his forehead, smiled bitterly at Niu Geng, who was carrying him, and no longer scolded him like before. He could see that this guy was definitely the kind of stubbornness. Scolding was useless, and speaking was more useful.
"No." Niu Geng said with his neck.
At this time, a guard of Ding Chong hurried in. After whispering a few words in Ding Chong's ear, Ding Chong's face changed slightly, he stepped close to Liu Xie and whispered: "Your Majesty, the person who came to ride is the frame of the Xun family in Yingchuan. Look at this..."
"Yingchuan, Xun family?" Liu Xie looked at the helpless young man in front of him, waved his hand to signal Niu Geng to the other side, and circled around the young man twice.
The young man sniffed at Liu Xie fiercely, with a look of intoxication on his face, which made Liu Xie feel chilled.
"Good wine, Jia traveled all over the Central Plains, but had never encountered such a good wine. Only smelling it can make people feel intoxicated. Good wine, good wine! I beg your Majesty to give you wine!" After saying that, he bowed deeply to Liu Xie.
"Rareless, how can you be so rude in front of Your Majesty? Who are you?" Ding Chong frowned. He didn't hear that such a crazy person had appeared in the Xun family, and immediately shouted.
"Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao?" Liu Xie looked at the young man, raised his eyebrows, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but his face was calm and he spoke out a name lightly.
