Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 228
Reading the imperial edict is a serious matter, and the middle door must be opened to burn incense.

Li Ke worked hard all morning, and after listening to the lengthy imperial edict, he finally took the plateau land into his arms.

Li Shimin officially issued an edict, which means that the plateau land is already his legal fiefdom, and he can let him reform it.

All Li Ke's ideas can be formally implemented.

Happy in his heart, he invited Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin to the palace for a banquet.

These two guys thought they had never eaten dishes fried in an iron pan, but when they saw this dish, they exclaimed in amazement.

The two ate for a long time, but they didn't care about drinking.

Li Ke kept persuading him to drink, but the two of them just focused on eating and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Hey! His Royal Highness, the food here is much more delicious than the wine. My old Cheng would rather eat a few more dishes!"

Cheng Yaojin ate until his face was greasy, he shook his head and sighed.

He has never tasted such a delicacy, so he naturally wants to feast on it.

After drinking that wine, I swelled my stomach, so I ate a lot of dishes!
"General Cheng, this statement is wrong!"

Li Ke smiled leisurely, and clapped his hands: "Not only the food here is delicious, but the wine is even more delicious! It's just that the wine is very strong, I'm afraid the general can't bear it!"

"Hey! The King of Shu has underestimated my old Cheng!"

Cheng Yaojin fought in all directions, what wine has he not tasted?
He naturally did not believe that Li Ke could still produce such strong wine.

At this time, the servant had brought up three jars and placed them on the table of the three of them.

Li Ke was the first to slap open the wine jar: "Then the two of you will have a taste of my strong wine!"

As soon as he opened the wine seal, the whole hall was immediately filled with the fragrance of wine.

Cheng Yaojin sniffed the monkey, and couldn't help being surprised: "Huh? Why is your highness's wine so fragrant?"

He hurriedly patted the wine jar in front of him away, and leaned closer to smell it.

Just smelling it, Cheng Yaojin felt the aroma of the wine go straight into his nose.

He took another sip, the wine was strong and went straight to his stomach.

"General Cheng, drink slowly!"

Li Ke laughed, this Cheng Yaojin first took a sip, then swallowed two mouthfuls in a row, and finally simply drank with the cow in his arms.

"Hahaha! Cool!"

Cheng Yaojin took a big gulp, put down the wine jar, and praised loudly: "Your Highness, this wine...is really fragrant, much better than those outside..."

"belch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin burped out.

Changsun Wuji sat across from him, at this moment he covered his nose in distaste, and complained: "General Cheng, you are a big man, be careful!"

"Haha, do you care?"

Cheng Yaojin was a free and easy person, he waved his hand and started to drink heavily with the wine jar in his arms.

Changsun Wuji was much more refined, he slowly raised the wine cup, and respected Li Ke from a distance, then raised his hand, covered his face with his sleeve, and drank a small bowl with his head raised.

"hiss!"

But when he put down the wine cup, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He looked down at the wine cup, then raised his head again: "Your Highness...this wine..."

Li Ke said with a smile: "This is the strong wine made by the king, which is much stronger than ordinary drinks. Is the Duke of Qi used to drinking it?"

Changsun Wuji said "Oh", then bowed his head and took another sip. He smacked his lips, tasted it, snorted again, and continued to taste.

After a while, a smile appeared on Changsun Wuji's face: "Well... not bad!"

"Your Highness's wine, I have never seen it in my life. Its aroma and taste are first-class in the world. I'm afraid the royal wine in the palace is not as good as Your Highness's strong wine!"

Changsun Wuji praised him, then raised the wine jar, wanting to pour another cup.

But when he was halfway pouring, the wine jar was taken away.

Cheng Yaojin forced his wine jar, frowned and said:
"You are really wasting the wine by drinking it like this."

As he spoke, he directly held the wine jar and took two sips, then he laughed and said: "You have to drink like this general to taste the taste!"

Saying that, Cheng Yaojin swaggered towards his seat.

"Old man Cheng! Stop!"

Changsun Wuji slapped the table, stood up, and chased after him in two steps.

He snatched back the wine jar from Cheng Yaojin's arms: "You have wine at your place, why did you snatch my wine?"

Cheng Yaojin pulled his face: "What's yours and mine? This is His Highness's wine!"

Taking advantage of his eldest grandson Wuji's unguardedness, he snatched the wine jar back: "Hehe! I've drunk all the wine in this jar. You don't like to drink, why don't you give it to me..."

"Who said I don't like drinking?"

Changsun Wuji stretched out his hand to snatch it again, but Cheng Yaojin had already twisted his body and returned to his seat.

"Hey! Your Highness's wine is really delicious, just one jar is not big enough!"

Cheng Yaojin took another big gulp and laughed loudly.

When Li Ke heard this, why didn't he understand what it meant?
After beckoning, someone immediately brought wine.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had failed to snatch the wine earlier, walked back to his table full of courage, hugged the new wine jar handed over by the servant and drank it.

This eldest grandson Wuji is an elegant man, and his drinking is much more refined, unlike Cheng Yaojin who is holding the wine jar and drinking it vigorously.

But after he drank two cups, he became bold and unrestrained, which made Li Ke laugh out loud.

The two drank two small altars each, and the atmosphere became thoroughly heated.

Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji first robbed wine, and then scolded each other, which was very quarreling.

One said that the other party was a rough and reckless man, and the other said that the other party was a sinister old fox.

Both of them talked about how annoying the other was along the way, and how much they suffered along the way.

After spraying each other for a long time, the two fell asleep with the wine jar in their arms.

Early the next morning, when Changsun Wuji woke up, he found himself lying in the post room.

He struggled to get up, recalling the scenes of last night.

He vaguely remembered that he was drinking, but then somehow, he quarreled with Cheng Yaojin.

At this time, he couldn't help being startled, and sighed how powerful Li Ke's wine was.

The eldest grandson Wuji is a bigwig in the court and has rich experience in banquets and drinking.

He thinks he is strong-willed, no matter what the occasion, he will not get drunk.

But yesterday, I unknowingly drank too much, so that there was a big fight in the hall.

For a person like him who has always been calm, this is a rare and important event.

Li Ke's drink is really amazing!
Thinking of his loss of composure last night, he couldn't help shaking his head, how could he have the same knowledge as that old man Cheng Yaojin?
He rubbed his head, and said to himself: No, I have to go to the palace to ask for a crime, and visit Yan'er along the way...

His eldest grandson Wuji is a well-bred person, so he won't be like that Cheng Yaojin, who only knows how to fall asleep foolishly after getting drunk!
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji immediately walked out of the room, called the coachman, and rushed all the way to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, he followed the servants into the hall, and Li Ke was already waiting in the hall.

"Last night was really rude, please don't..."

Arching his hands and apologizing, Changsun Wuji said as he walked.

But halfway through, he froze...
