Chapter 432 Capital monster!
When it’s meal time, the dining room in the palace is also ready for meals. Li Shimin only needs to call Sizi and the eldest grandson empress over, plus Li Yin and eldest grandson Wuji, there will be five people eating. The family banquet, life is indeed a lot simpler.
Empress Changsun was a little fatter than when she was in Chang’an. When she saw Li Yin, she dragged Li Yin and chatted for a long time. It was not until the maid served food that she let Li Yin sit back in her seat.
“Emperor, come and taste the wine I brewed myself.” After Li Yin sat down, Li Shimin pointed to a bottle of wine in a glass wine bottle on Li Yin’s table. It was a bottle of old and new wine, and then Li Shimin said to Changsun Wuji: “Auxiliary machine, you can try it too and see how it tastes?”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, it’s a great honor for you to be able to taste the wine made by His Majesty himself.” Changsun Wuji was a little excited. It can be said that he and Li Shimin had been playing together since they were young. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not visit Li Shimin all these years because he was afraid of people. Said that he was thinking of the old master, and this time Li Yin brought him here specially, and he understood Li Yin’s thoughts. He has been loyal to assist Li Yin all these years, and finally he was recognized.
Li Shimin nodded, slightly satisfied. Since he abdicated, Li Shimin did not get used to it for a while. The veterans who had respected him in the past no longer came to visit him, which made him feel a little disappointed. I can’t blame these ministers for anything. After all, it was a big deal that they were still close to him as before. Li Yin might be the one who was unhappy at that time.
“Your Majesty, I’ll pour it for you.” Li Yin was about to pour the wine when Sizi who was sitting next to Li Yin suddenly stood up and filled the glass for Li Yin.
Li Yin looked at Sizi strangely. This girl has nothing to do to be courteous and determined to be a traitor or a thief. He looked at Li Shimin and found that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were looking at Sizi with smiles on their faces.
Picking up the wine glass, Li Yin took a sip, and the aroma of the grape wine immediately filled his mouth. The wine has a long and lingering taste, and it is indeed a rare grape wine. Li Min tasted it carefully and said: “Father Huang’s winemaking craftsmanship is truly incomparable in the Tang Dynasty.” In the Tang Dynasty, wine just emerged. The brewing technique is still immature, but the method used by Li Shimin comes from modern times. It is not an exaggeration for Li Yin to say this. If he remembers correctly, he only gave this brewing technique to Empress Changsun. Even Folk hasn’t shown up yet.
“Well, it is indeed a good wine. The old minister tasted the wine sold from the Western Regions, but it was one-tenth of the wine sold by the Supreme Emperor.” Changsun Wuji said as well after taking a sip.
Li Shimin has been nervously watching the two people’s reactions, and finally relieved at this time, he said with a smile; “In this case, the emperor and the auxiliary machine should drink more, you are welcome. There are still plenty of wine.”
At this time, several dishes came to the table, and Li Yin saw that they were all seafood. Due to the development of technology, seafood storage technology has become popular recently, and the seafood from Ryukyu can also be transported to Yizhou. Li Yin tasted a few mouthfuls, and the taste was good, and the craftsmanship even surpassed Zhang San. It seems that Li Shimin also put a lot of effort into training chefs.
Li Yin is used to eating these things, but Changsun Wuji has been in Chang’an all year round. Rarely eat, see these seafood delicacies. The index finger moved wildly, and he ate voraciously.
After a simple meal, Li Yin wiped his mouth, thinking that it was time to talk about some serious business. Sizi’s abnormal behavior just now made him feel that this girl must have something to do, and the reactions of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also confirmed this point. , before Li Yin could speak, Empress Changsun spoke, she said: “Your Majesty, this time you came just in time, do we have something else to tell you?”
When Empress Changsun said this, Sizi suddenly lowered her head, her face turned red, and Li Yin vaguely thought of something. After calculating, Sizi is almost twenty years old this year, and has successfully graduated from a women’s university. Datang is already an old leftover woman, and it’s time to find a husband.
“Princess Jinyang is now nineteen years old. Your Majesty, as an elder brother, should you also find a husband’s family for your younger sister?” Sure enough, what Empress Changsun said was exactly this matter.
Li Shimin interjected: “However, this girl, Si, has always been used to lawlessness, but she already has someone she likes in her heart, and the emperor needs to be her matchmaker.” After finishing speaking, he shook his head, obviously taking Si There is no way.
“However, we have inquired about this person, and he is indeed a good person, and he is also very close to the emperor.” Empress Changsun said.
Li Yin became interested, and looked at the blushing girl. This girl seldom had a quiet time, and it seemed that she did have someone in her heart, as Li Shimin said, and the princess’s marriage was a matter of the royal family, and she needed him The emperor spoke, so Li Shimin and Empress Changsun asked Li Yin.
After figuring this out, Li Yin said: “I don’t know who the father is talking about? Since it is valued by the son, it must be a young man.”
“Shangguan Tingzhi.” Li Shimin said at this time.
“Shangguan Tingzhi?” Li Yin was a little surprised. This is Shangguan Yi’s eldest son, who is five years older than his son. Zhi and Su Xiaoyan are childhood sweethearts. Since childhood, Shangguan Tingzhi followed Su Xiaoyan like a follower, and was often beaten by Su Xiaoyan. According to Su Morer, the two have been fighting each other for many years. Su Xiaoyan insisted on staying in Yizhou just for Shangguan Tingzhi.
“What’s the matter, is there a problem?” Sensing the unnatural expression on Li Yin’s face, Li Shimin asked.
Li Yin came back to his senses, and said: “It’s okay, it’s okay.” But he was thinking about what kind of magical power Shangguan Tingzhi possessed, which could make Sizi and Su Xiaoyan fall in love with him at the same time, but he was more interested It’s embarrassing, Su Mo’er’s words also meant to ask him to mention this matter, but Li Yin didn’t take care of it when he was busy.
“Oh, that’s good, Si, thank you, Brother Emperor.” Li Shimin said dotingly.
Xiaozi blushed like an apple, and said in a tired voice: “Thank you, Brother Emperor.” After finishing speaking, she ran out shyly, no matter how bold she was, she was only a girl after all.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun laughed very happily, but Li Min was in trouble, thinking how to tell Su More about this matter, but when Li Shimin and Empress Changsun brought it up, since his son is a princess again, he always I can’t refuse, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat.
After talking about these things, Empress Changsun got up and left. The three of them talked about some trivial matters in the court. I also observed carefully in 2011. Many large factories were surrounded by gentry figures. It can be said that the representatives of the gentry in the past were officials, but now the representatives of the gentry are businessmen. His thoughts made Father very worried.”
Li Yin was shocked. In terms of sensitivity to politics, Li Yin thought he was inferior to Li Shimin. He said, “Father, please tell me.”
“Some people advocated the emancipation of the mind, and my father sent people to find out about the so-called emancipation of the mind of these students. They claimed that they needed freedom and democracy, and advocated that the feudal rule of the Tang Dynasty was no longer suitable for the development of the Tang Dynasty, and that the bourgeoisie should unite to fight for their own rights. “Li Shimin frowned, and the cold light in his eyes made Li Yin feel that Li Shimin had murderous intentions at this time. This kind of thinking was undoubtedly no different from rebellion in Li Shimin’s view.
“There is another matter!” Li Yin was very shocked, but why Li Rui didn’t get any news, this made Li Yin hard to understand.
“This is what Sizi told me by accident. This is a secret organization among students.” Li Shimin said.
Li Yin’s face was gloomy, which made him suddenly worried about one thing. The situation in Datang at this time is somewhat similar to that of the British capitalist revolution. At that time, the British bourgeoisie was also strong, with colonies all over the world, and the emancipation of people’s ideas also started. However, the difference is that Datang encouraged the development of commerce, while the British dignitaries at that time suppressed the development of commerce, which eventually led to the revolution, but anyway, this is not a good signal , he will not allow the evil beast of capital to do whatever it wants and devour its master.
