Chapter 763 Another big picture

The time for dinner came soon. Cheng Yaojin was still feeling very uncomfortable just now, but now he quickly adjusted his mentality, so when eating, he also changed cups and cups, and after a while, he drank three ounces of wine. .

If there was no distilled wine in this era, it wouldn't be a problem for them to lose ten or eight kilograms. But if they drink Datang Tiannong, one kilogram of wine can already make them feel wine.

"The technology of brewing is getting better and better. Now I can't even drink the original Datang Tianjiang. If we want to talk about mellowness, this six-star one is better."

Cheng Yaojin thought about it and said that now Datang Tiannong has developed to a six-star level, and the first generation of wine is already very cheap. Not only can it open up the supply, but the price has also reached the usual price per pound. Basically, The fact that the middle class can afford to drink it is also a benefit.

Of course, for upper-class people like them, they will always only pursue the most expensive one. Of course, the most expensive one is also the best. Take this six-star wine as an example. It is sold in limited quantities every month and the price on the black market is 5 It costs ten guan for a pound of wine, but as long as the goods come out, these people will still go out of their way to buy them. Anyway, as long as they can get it and resell it, they can make money, but the reason is that they make more and less.

"My father-in-law has grown up, so you should still drink in moderation."

Li Xiang remembered his wife's words and told Li Xiang before the meal that he must not let Cheng Yaojin drink too much. When he was at home before, Cheng Luan did not let Cheng Yaojin drink too much. , now this task is handed over to Li Xiang.

"Listen to your wife again. When your wife was at home, she didn't care about my drinking. Now the stick is in your hands again. I have always liked fighting and drinking in my life. If you don't let me go out to fight now, If you’re not even allowed to drink, what fun is there in this life?”

Although Cheng Yaojin said it with a straight face, he was also very happy in his heart. His daughter said something casually to his son-in-law, and the son-in-law could remember his daughter's words in his heart. You must know that this is not an ordinary man on the street. This is a whole family. The number three figure in the Tang Dynasty will ascend to the Dragon Throne in the future.

Li Chengqian couldn't say a few words here, and his relationship with Cheng Yaojin was average, so he left after drinking a few glasses of wine. Li Xiang and Cheng Yaojin were the only ones left at the table. Li Xiang had already put his Everyone dispersed, and except for some close friends, no one could get close, especially the men in black in the palace.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. At this stage, Chang'an City still needs your father-in-law to be in charge. If there are more people on the stand in the future, we have to hope that your father-in-law can go into battle again to boost the power of our Tang army."

Li Xiang cannot speak so clearly. Now the emperor has doubted Cheng Yaojin. After all, Cheng Yaojin is not a die-hard confidant of the emperor. Now there is a tendency to become a die-hard confidant of Li Xiang. If you and the emperor are not of the same mind, even if You and the emperor's grandson are of the same mind, and it is impossible for the emperor to let you regain military power.

Although Cheng Yaojin still has the position of general and some troops under his command, most of his duties are to inspect the battalions. He has no direct subordinates. He seems to be in charge of everyone, but he cannot mobilize them.

"You mean I still have a chance to fight again?"

As soon as Cheng Yaojin said this, he immediately sobered up. The last time he went to the battlefield, it was on the Tuyuhun battlefield. Now he has been wandering around Chang'an City. For a general who has been fighting on the battlefield all his life, , it is indeed a very tortured thing.

Although there is no danger on the battlefield and you can enjoy the prosperity of Chang'an City, these things are just temporary thoughts. If you have been living in such an environment, Cheng Yaojin may not feel any comfort. It is very likely that Just thinking about the days of fighting and fighting, looking at Cheng Yaojin's expression now shows that Li Xiang's guess is true, and he really wants to return to the battlefield.

"I dare not say it now, but if war breaks out in the future, you people will not be able to stay idle in Chang'an City."

Li Xiang has now been nicknamed a warmonger. If this word spreads from Cheng Yaojin, it will be equivalent to confirming the nickname. By then, I don’t know how many civil servants there will be. We should attack Li Xiang and criticize him for not knowing how to put people first.

Li Xiang did not dare to comment on Confucianism, but today's literati are really not good at it. Because of the war, the status of civil servants began to decline. These people ignored the benefits of the expansion of the Tang Dynasty and spread it in the court and among the people. Is this what you literati should do to spread rumors that are not conducive to the war?

Fortunately, the progress on the battlefield is relatively smooth. If the battle is defeated, there is no telling what kind of storm the people in the civil service group will cause. By then, Li Xiang may be on the cusp of the storm and may lose everything he has today.

"One day will be enough. I'm not in a hurry. I can afford to wait for a month or two, and I can afford to wait for a year or two. As long as I can still ride a horse and wield a sword, then in the future you will Just command me, no matter where you are talking about, I will risk my life to get it for you."

Cheng Yaojin patted his chest and said, he has fought hundreds of battles over the years, and almost none of them failed. Although some people have said that this guy only has three axes. If he can't defeat you with three axes, , then this guy doesn’t have much ability.

But having said that, from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, how many people have been able to block these three axes? More people still died at the hands of these three axes, so Cheng Yaojin is called the God of War. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are only a few people in the entire Tang Dynasty who are stronger than Cheng Yaojin, and the rest cannot stop these three axes.

After drinking until the sun went down in the afternoon, Li Xiang asked Xiao Xiazi to find the right person to send Cheng Yaojin back. If it was in an ordinary person's home, it wouldn't matter if Cheng Yaojin slept at his daughter's house, but this is the palace, no matter what Who are you? You have to leave the palace when the sun sets.

Li Xiang also drank a lot of wine. After seeing off his father-in-law, he returned to his room. Cheng Luan quickly asked someone to give him sobering soup. However, Li Xiang still keenly caught something wrong with his wife. There was something wrong in the corner of his eyes. Where are the tears? You should be happy to see your father-in-law today. Could it be that something happened to the Cheng family?
