Chapter 118: Banquet(1/2)
"Come on, Khan, one da da, two da da da, three da da, turn around, take off your clothes, okay, continue... Come on, fly with a look, very good, good, continue, turn around, grab the pole... Come again..."
A strange sound came from the small dark room.
Chen Fu heard it strangely outside.
In the evening, Chen Zhengtai and Tuli Khan could be seen coming out together.
Tuli Khan was wearing a specially made tight garment. As soon as he came out, his entourage immediately put on fur.
In fact, at the beginning, Tuli Khan was shy and always felt that this was not good.
But with Chen Zhengtai's constant encouragement, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to endure it.
I have no choice anymore. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is unclear. Who knows whether he will let him return to the grassland at this time, and I wonder if the Tang army will take this opportunity to launch an attack at this time.
Now for the Turkic tribe, the most important thing is to survive.
Of course... all this is inseparable from Chen Zhengtai's encouragement! Chen Zhengtai always looks very professional and serious when teaching himself to dance, without any ridicule or contempt. If Chen Zhengtai used other expressions, Tuli Khan would feel that he had suffered a huge humiliation and drew his sword to face him.
This Erpigou is a good place. Every time Chen Zhengtai cooks delicious food for him and lets him eat it. The food here is many times better than the grassland.
Chen Zhengtai would teach him the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty and the various preferential treatments given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the vassal states with annual tribute, which made Tuli Khan think again!
He began to ask Chen Zhengtai to help him find out if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had a daughter, preferably a widow. At his age, a princess who is not widowed may not be able to rely on, but maybe, which old princess died of a man?
Chen Zhengtai felt that people in this era seemed to have a heavy taste, and he was not very interested in interracial marriages. After a fight, he was considered a confusion.
In the evening, I still drink. Tomorrow is a palace banquet. Chen Zhengtai decided to take out his treasure. This is the liquor distilled by himself in the Tang Dynasty. Chen Zhengtai rarely sells it in Chang'an, and he thinks that the alcohol content of this thing is too high!
At this moment, this good thing was placed in front of Tuli Khan.
Tuli Khan looked down at the pure wine like white water, a little suspicious, but he had already established trust in Chen Zhengtai.
The young man in front of him never regards himself as a defeated general. When he came to Erpigou, he not only taught himself to dance, introduced the customs and customs, but even gave him a few bags of money casually, indicating that everyone is brother and it is not easy to live in Chang'an, so he took it to spend it casually.
Tuli Khan felt that Chen Zhengtai was also generous with the men on the grassland. It was a lucky thing to meet Chen Zhengtai during this journey full of humiliation.
He thought that when he came here, he would be rolling his eyes countless times. Even if the other party was respectful on the surface, he would never have a heart-to-heart relationship with you. Even behind the respect, there must be contempt and discrimination.
He had already recognized this point, but since he chose to be attached, he was prepared for the worst.
But Chen Zhengtai's sincerity touched him.
Tuli Khan did not hesitate, but first smiled: "This cup is too small. Brothers, we all drink with cow horns in our grassland, which is ten times bigger than this cup."
Chen Zhengtai said happily: "Does Brother Tu Lixian want to change to a big cup?"
"Well, let's drink it first." Tuli Khan drank the small glass of wine directly.
The wine has a degree of at least forty degrees, which is the result of Chen Zhengtai being conscientious!
Because the process of distilled liquor is actually very simple, not to mention forty degrees, he can even make it out immediately if he wants to do it forty degrees!
But I still considered that Tuli was a guest after all, and Chen Zhengtai had already mixed some water, but...
As soon as this small cup was imported, Tuli Khan suddenly felt that what he had eaten was not alcohol, but a ball of fire! The fire hit his throat, and his whole body was suffocating. The pain caused by this suffocation made his scalp numb and his whole body tremble. Then, the fire fell into his stomach, and his whole body became boiling again. His body felt light and his head was a little dizzy, but he had an indescribable pleasure.
Tuli Khan said in surprise: "What kind of wine is this?"
"The donkey is over."
Tuli Khan couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and he only had a glass of it. He was a little drunk: "This wine is really amazing. Ben Khan has never drunk such a strong wine in his life. Is this wine still there?"
"Some of them, if your brother likes it, come to me as you want. If you go back to the pasture in the future, I will send you a few jars every year."
Chen Zhengtai narrowed his eyes. Tuli Khan was the best advertisement. If this wine was sold to the grassland...tsk tsk...
People in the desert are not only prone to loneliness when they are in that desert, but also because of the strong wind and sand, the body temperature is difficult to maintain. Therefore, most people like to drink alcohol and drink strong alcohol.
This wine is extremely pleasing to Tuli Khan. When he heard that Chen Zhengtai was going to give it to him, Tuli Khan couldn't help but feel moved: "My brother Zhengtai is so generous, does it make me ashamed. Does Brother Zhengtai like horses? When I go back to the desert, I will send you dozens of thousands of miles of horses."
He was a little drunk and felt dizzy, so he hurriedly grabbed the pork bones in the pork bone soup. He didn't like to use chopsticks, so he liked to tear them with his hands. After taking a few bites, he felt refreshed. Then he laughed and said, "Haha, Chang'an. If we Turks are like you Chang'an people, who would be willing to graz on the horse's back? Who would be willing to go to war? Brother Zhengtai, in our grassland, several tribes pulled out their knives and fought, there were often no reason. Even if there were reasons, it might be just a few women, maybe just a few cows and horses. It's really hard to live. In order to survive, you need to kill others and take their cows and horses and women. The more you seize, you can survive the long winter. Oh... Chang'an is so good."
As he said... Tuli Khan sniffed, and at this moment he couldn't help but reveal his true feelings: "I really don't hide it from you. This Turkic civil strife killed many people, but this is not a bad thing for the Turkic. Do you know why? Because a person dies, his property and cattle and horse can be taken away by those who survive. At least in the past few years, everyone doesn't have to rely on robbery to survive. We Turkic people are born to fight, either fight with you or kill each other, and there is no other way to go. My Khan comes to be introverted, both because of the necessity and after the fight...at least the grassland can be peaceful for many years... Ha, don't talk about these, come, I want to drink."
After eating the second glass of wine, Tuli Khan was so stuffed like a donkey.
He slept very sweetly, which almost made Chen Zhengtai feel a little soft-hearted. He felt that he was a little tricked by him. In order to do some liquor business, he had to go against his conscience. This is not my Chen Zhengtai style.
The next day...it was noon.
All officials were put on the court because this day was the day of a big banquet!
Therefore, in the early morning, Tuli Khan was directly picked up by officials of the Ministry of Rites. They also had many etiquette and clothing matters, and Tuli Khan needed to prepare.
Chen Zhengtai was also dressed up. As a county magistrate, he was qualified to attend this banquet.
Li Chengqian came to find Chen Zhengtai excitedly and wanted to enter the palace with Chen Zhengtai, so the two of them went early and went to see Li Shimin first, but they saw Li Shimin worried. It seemed that he had begun to feel that this banquet might have shot himself in the foot!
In fact, Li Shimin was really confused! It seems that this Tuli Khan could not fully control him. Today, he held a big banquet because of his great joy. He was afraid he would be embarrassed in the future.
After seeing Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai, Li Shimin's face improved a little. He stared at Li Chengqian: "Have you made a fool of himself recently?"
"Father, sons and ministers have been studying recently."
"What book did you read?"
“First grade physics in junior high school.”
Li Shimin: “…”
Actually, Li Shimin didn't understand this thing either, but... he didn't care what Li Chengqian reads, just don't mess around. Anyway, I didn't rely on studying to get what I am today.
Then his eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai: "Zhengtai." Li Shimin pulled down his face: "I heard that you have been with the Tuli Khan recently?"
"yes."
There is nothing to cover up in this matter. Chen Zhengtai said obediently: "Didn't the teacher ask the students to welcome Tuli Khan? The students were thinking that Tuli Khan was a guest, and the students have been in the same position as the landlord since their current mentor."
When Li Shimin thought of this Tuli Khan, he had a headache and then sighed: "Do you know, someone has impeached you to get too close to this Tuli Khan? He is a guest, but before that, he was also a big trouble in my Tang Dynasty. You can just hand it over to the Ministry of Rites. You can't interfere with it. Why do you have any other idiots? These days, Guandong has sent a report saying that Guandong has encountered a flood now. Why don't you care about this matter?"
Chen Zhengtai was about to spurt out his old blood, and I was so fucked that there was no food at home.
Chen Zhengtai didn't expect that he was scolded for no reason and felt very frustrated, but it was obvious that Li Shimin was in a bad mood.
And...who impeached him?
Chen Zhengtai asked very directly: "I would like to ask my mentor for advice. I wonder who impeached the students?"
Li Shimin's face calmed down a lot: "I'm too lazy to go and see it, so I'm just staying there. The reason I told you that someone was impeached was to let you know how to be cautious in your words and actions."
"I wonder what the students are impeached?"
When Li Shimin saw him breaking the casserole and asking the whole thing, his face became calm!
Recently, there have been more and more impeachments against Chen Zhengtai. Li Shimin is very clear about this. This matter is related to Kong Yingda. Kong Yingda is a famous scholar and a descendant of a famous family. His family members and former officials are everywhere in the world, not to mention that the university has already made the aristocratic clan dissatisfied. After all, Chen Zhengtai has no fault!
Li Shimin said: "I mean you collude with the Turks."
Chen Zhengtai immediately felt bitter and said, "Student is wronged..."
Li Shimin said disapprovingly: "I know you are wronged. Okay, you can go to the banquet with the prince. I need to go to Tai'an Palace first and invite the Supreme Emperor."
...
The banquet begins at Shin-shi 3.
Holding in Tai Chi Hall, it is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of guests!
At this time, countless eunuchs shuttled through and served wine and dishes.
Tuli Khan had already brought several of his entourage officials and sat opposite Fang Xuanling and others.
Two imperial thrones were set up in the upper head of the hall. Li Shimin accompanied the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan to appear. When the ministers saw it, they bowed and bowed.
Li Yuan was thin and wearing auspicious clothes. It seemed that because he was old, the crown on his head made his head unable to support him, and his body was a little hunched.
He gives people the impression of being mediocre.
However, almost everyone in this palace did not dare to neglect the Supreme Emperor!
Although the Emperor was eventually seized by the emperor, he was the founding emperor after all, and he was not as good as his son. It was enough to crush ordinary people.
The Supreme Emperor and Li Shimin were whispering something, while Li Shimin smiled with obedient eyes, and Li Yuan also seemed to be in a state of joy with Li Shimin. The father and son were on the imperial throne.
Li Yuan tried hard to open his faint eyes. He seemed to look very poor. He was silent for a long time before his shriveled lips moved and said, "Which one is Tuli Khan?"
Tuli Khan stood up and bowed: "Little Khan is that."
"Okay, okay, okay." Li Yuan smiled reluctantly: "I...I recognize you...your father..."
Tuli Khan blushed, but he did not respond.
Although Li Shimin was worried, he finally smiled when he heard this!
Tuli Khan's father was the one who forced Li Yuan to surrender. At that time, the Tang Dynasty suffered a lot of humiliation from Tuli Khan's father.
But now, after becoming the emperor, the situation has reversed.
Li Shimin then said to Tuli Khan: "You can follow the will of heaven and submit to me. I should treat you with courtesy. Come and ask Tuli Qing’s family to return to your seat."
Tuli Khan returned to his seat, but felt uneasy.
In fact, in this big banquet, everyone had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was not warm at all.
To be continued...
