The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 239 Tang Shanshi seeks death

When Li An invited Su Dingfang's family back to his small shed, Li Shimin finally arrived, in a royal sedan, accompanied by Queen Changsun. After Li Shimin and Queen Changsun appeared, everyone began to salute.

Li An could clearly feel that Queen Changsun had been looking at him and Li Duoduo.

When Li Duoduo saw Li Shimin and Queen Changsun here, she immediately wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Li An and said: "Sit down obediently, or you will never come out to play next time."

Under Li An's threat, Li Duoduo could only sit beside Li An with a frown.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are accompanied by Princess Changle, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, King Yue Qingque, King Jin Lizhi, and Li Ke are also there. However, the location is a little far away. As for Li You and Li Yin, they are also here. Of course, the location is even further away. .

A legitimate son is a legitimate son, not a concubine.

After the emperor and empress had all arrived, the hundred-wine banquet began. One by one, each family brought their own liquor to the front. Many families gathered together. There were at least a hundred bottles in total. The wine here came from Chang'an. of various places.

In Chang'an City, there are many hotels, restaurants, and tea shops, with more than a hundred kinds of food.

In this prosperous food market, the Orchid Wine Restaurant opened by the Hu people from the Western Regions can be said to be a major feature of the food culture in the Yellow River Basin.

Just as the great poet Li Bai described in the opening chapter, the Wuling boys in Chang'an City, wearing silver saddles and white horses, laughed into the Orchid Wine Shop after having fun, and they all took pleasure in tasting and appreciating this exotic flavor.

During the Zhenguan period, such wine shops expanded greatly. There were at least hundreds of large and small wine shops around Chang'an.

In order to attract customers and remain invincible in the competition, some wine shops often use young and beautiful women as hotel hosts. The most eye-catching one is the "Hu Ji Danglong" opened by the barbarians in the Western Regions.

It is an earthen platform for placing wine jars, with cabinets placed on it, similar to today's counters.

Orchid girls, also women from ethnic minorities, are specially hired as waitresses in wine shops.

This style has a long history in Chang'an and has been around since the Han Dynasty. It is a unique food culture in the Yellow River Basin.

There is a poem in the "Ancient Yuefu" of the Han Dynasty as evidence: "Hu Ji is fifteen years old, and she is alone in spring." In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the beautiful and flowery Orchid was widely used in front of wine shops. In the hotel, use this to attract business.

In the Tang Dynasty, most of the hotels operated by the Hu people in the Western Regions of Chang'an were in Chang'an West Market and the area from Chunming Gate to Qujiang Pool.

According to research in the book "Chang'an and the Culture of the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty", many Hu people living in Chang'an at that time made a living by selling wine. These wine shops generally sold wines from the West. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were "wines" from Gaochang, and later from Persia. His "Sanlejiang" and "Longgao wine" were both praised by people at that time.

In order to attract customers and create a harmonious and elegant dining environment for customers, Orchid Restaurants often decorate their shops with brocade felts for luxury and comfort.The beauties in the palace have blue eyes and tall noses. They are all skilled in singing and dancing, and they treat guests with great enthusiasm.Music and songs were even played during the service to enhance the elegance.Officials and merchants in Beijing like to visit this place.

Among the more than 100 kinds of wine, only Li An's Yuye wine is very eye-catching. Why is it eye-catching? Because other wines basically have impurities, and most of them are turbid. Only Li An's Yuye wine is very eye-catching. The liquid wine is transparent.

Li Shimin also fell in love with Yuye wine at a glance, and quickly asked: "What kind of transparent wine is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is the jade liquid wine sent by Lu Guogong's Mansion." Huang Bao stood aside and answered with a smile. Huang Bao is still with Li Shimin now. I think the matter of Empress Changsun Zhongdu has been investigated clearly, but Li An But he didn't know the inside story. After all, Li Shimin didn't tell An Li about such a thing. "Is the jade liquid wine the jade liquid of fine wine?" Li Shimin was a little surprised.

"Yes!" Huang Bao nodded quickly.

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Oh, this name is so impressive. Give me a glass, I want to taste it, the taste of this jade liquid wine."

"Promise!" Huang Bao immediately handed over a glass of Yuye wine. The amount of this glass is about one or two. Choked too quickly.

Originally, Li Shimin wanted to help his eldest son once, because he knew that Yuye wine was brewed by Li An, so he just wanted to show off that Li An was good at wine, and kept playing a double act with Huang Bao, but who knew, because the acting was too good. After that, I choked on the drink.

Just when Li Shimin coughed.

"Bold. Li An plotted to kill His Majesty the Emperor. Come and capture Li An." In an instant, Tang Shanshi jumped out of nowhere and shouted with his teeth and claws bared.

As soon as these words came out, Li An didn't know what to say. He had seen people seeking death, but he had never seen anyone seeking death like this.

"Are you sick?" After Tang Shanshi shouted, the guard did not come. However, Li Shimin calmed down for a while and then cursed directly at Tang Shanshi: "I just choked and drank the jade liquor." I’m getting a little anxious, are you cursing me to die, or do you have a grudge against Li An?”

Li Shimin cursed unkindly. You must know that at this time, Li Shimin had already sensed Tang Shanshi's evil intentions.

"Your Majesty, calm down..." Fortunately, Tang Shanshi has a good father, and Tang Jian hurriedly walked out and bowed in a panic, "It's all because the old minister can't teach his son well. It's because my son and Li An have some misunderstandings, so the son speaks without choice. I have absolutely no intention of cursing His Majesty."

"Humph." Li Shimin snorted coldly, shook his head and said, "Tang Jian, take care of your son. Where is this place? I am still here. Does your son think that I am an old fool and want to borrow my money?" Hand, go kill Li An.

Let me tell you, I am not so old and foolish! "

The words made Tang Jian kneel down quickly, and then he also pulled his fifth son to kneel down. Tang Shanshi knelt down with a force from Tang Jian, and his whole knee was almost broken.

"Hmph." It's just that Empress Changsun didn't intend to let Tang Shanshi go, and Empress Changsun looked at Tang Shanshi coldly and said, "You are really bold, Tang Shanshi, you are Tang Jian's fifth son, why are you so vicious?" .

If you succeed, will His Majesty be blamed for killing innocent people because of you? You really have ulterior motives.

The person who comes here is responsible for thirty, and he is not allowed to tolerate it. "

"Queen, please calm down and give me a chance. The Thirty Court children can't bear it. Why don't you let me lead the Thirty Court Staff?" Tang Jian knelt down and begged.

Empress Changsun frowned slightly. She did not expect that Tang Jian would be so protective of her fifth son.

Fortunately, at this time, Changsun Wuji bowed out and said, "I think it's better to let Tang Shanshi go back to his old house for a while after today and let the Tang family teach him well. Chang'an City is not a place where he can speak without restraint."
