Chapter 288 Envy Cheng Yaojin

There are two things in life, good wine and beautiful women.

A few poor scholars sat together to discuss life, and the wine they bought from Li Yin stood beside them.

Because the quantity was small, the wine was extremely precious, and people in Chang'an were proud to have a taste of wine.

It was precisely because of this that when the court meeting in the hall had not yet started, the ministers talked a lot.

"General Li, you look good today."

"Could it be that it has regained its glory?"

Hou Junji made fun of Li Junxian, but it caused him to roll his eyes.

"What nonsense, just had a few drinks last night."

When Li Junxian thought of the wine brewed by Li Yin, his stomach became hungry again.

After hearing what he said, Hou Junji immediately understood and started laughing.

"It turns out that's the case, and it's not surprising."

"If you want me to say that His Royal Highness King Liang is really capable, a sip of wine after a meal is better than a living god!"

Hou Junji licked his lips, also reminiscing about the feeling before. He was very fond of wine.

Then a sense of admiration arose in my heart, when I thought that Li Yin could actually brew fine wine from grapes despite the doubts of the world, I admired him very much.

Not long after, Li Shimin came out, and everyone stopped talking.

But it aroused the doubts in Li Shimin's heart.

"All the lovers look so good, laughing and laughing, why didn't I say anything when I came here."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and laughed dumbfoundedly.

"Your Majesty, if you want to talk about this, you still have to thank His Royal Highness King Liang, but thanks to the wine he brewed."

"It's better than a panacea for those of us who like to drink a few sips!"

A minister said with a smile, but Li Shimin frowned directly, and was unable to speak for a long time.

wine?
Li Shimin's heart was full of turmoil. He didn't even know that Li Yin's wine had been brewed without leaving the gate.

What made Li Shimin even more unbelievable was the reaction of everyone.

"My lovers, it's because they have changed their tempers. You can smell the stinky stuff, so how can you drink it?"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that after the wine came out, the result would be quite different from what he had guessed.

Many ministers laughed and told him how delicious the wine was, but Li Shimin's expression changed again and again.

Regardless of how I disliked Li Yin so much, I only thought of getting the best product, but I couldn't do it.

Li Shimin sighed, just as he poured cold water on Li Yin like he did before, he was too embarrassed to ask for it at this juncture.

Then he went down resentfully,

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin didn't even have time to change his clothes, so Li Yin followed closely behind.

"What are you doing here?" Li Shimin said stiffly, but his eyes had already been fixed on the two jars of wine Li Min was holding.

Just laughed.

"It's really unheard of that these grapes can be made into wine."

"Father, wine made from grapes is much better than ordinary wine."

The corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up, very proud, and he opened a jar for Li Shimin in front of him.

Immediately, the smell of wine hit his face, Li Shimin took a deep breath and pretended to be intoxicated.

"It's really so amazing! Good wine, this is good wine!" Li Shimin is the king of a country, and there are not many things that can satisfy his appetite.

And the wine Li Min brewed at this moment was one of them.

Wang De walked in step by step, but he was attracted by the smell of wine not long after, and almost forgot what he came in for.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Duke Lu is here!"

It took him a while to speak.

When Li Yin heard this, he immediately stepped aside, knowing that Li Shimin came to talk to Cheng Yaojin without even thinking about it.

But seeing Li Shimin's indifferent face, he waved his hands and let Li Yin be more casual.

"It's just some trifles, finish it in a few words," and let Cheng Yaojin in after finishing speaking.

In the imperial study room, the sound of several people swallowing saliva was very clear, Cheng Yaojin and Wang De looked at each other with embarrassing expressions.

"Your Majesty, I wrote down some countermeasures in the memorial." Cheng Yaojin was seduced by the smell of the wine, so he didn't have the heart to report it, so he directly submitted it to the memorial.

Li Shimin took a rough look, and then casually criticized it.

"Go get a glass, it's such a fine wine, let's taste it together." He said impatiently.

Not long after, there was a lot of praise in the imperial study room.

"His Royal Highness Liang Wang is really capable, this wine is really good to drink!" Wang De couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

Cheng Yaojin was even more greedy and refused to waste a drop.

The corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up, but his gaze fell directly on Li Shimin, wanting to see what he would say after drinking it.

Delicious!

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately. The taste of the wine was completely beyond his expectation.

Li Min felt relieved now.

"Father loves to drink, so I will use these two jars to deal with it first, and I will send some after my son returns."

After Li Yin said that, Li Shimin immediately couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear. Of course, the more wine, the better.

But he was so envious of Cheng Yaojin standing next to him, but it wouldn't matter if he was like this, but Li Min took out a list in front of him.

"Father, you have sold a lot of wine in the past two days. According to the [-]-[-] share we agreed on, your son-in-law has already taken it."

Li Shimin's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this. He never thought that the income from wine would be so great, and every entry was carefully recorded on the list.

There were more than 2000 taels assigned to him. Li Shimin took a deep breath, and the way he looked at Li Yin changed immediately.

"So, Your Highness earned more than 8000 taels this trip?" Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath, feeling completely dumbfounded.

Immediately, he felt remorseful, and looked straight at Li Min with a look of wanting to cry but not tears.

"What is Lu Guogong doing?" Li Yin laughed lightly, pretending not to understand, but he understood very well in his heart.

It made Cheng Yaojin feel even more uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, don't make fun of the old minister. If you didn't reject His Highness's kindness at that time, you will still receive thousands of taels of silver now."

Cheng Yaojin smiled bitterly, but he never forgot that Li Yin wanted to cooperate with him at the beginning, but it made him miss such a good opportunity for nothing.

Hearing that this was the case, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

"It's an old bone. Is the salary I gave you not enough for your retirement or something?"

"Let young people do such unprecedented things, and we will just watch from behind."

Li Shimin said with deep emotion.
