Li Shiming's face turned darker and darker as he heard the names of the High Dukes. In the end, he looked as if someone owed him millions of dollars.
"A fight? Why did they fight?" Li Shi Min asked with a dark face.
"This is... "This servant is not very sure, but it is said that the state dukes are all drunk. I think it should be drunk behavior…" Little Yellow Gate lowered his head and explained.
"Do you think you can disregard your status as an official of the imperial court and fight in the streets when you're drunk?”
Li Shiming gritted his teeth and said. Suddenly, he realized something and his heart thumped. He asked hurriedly," You said they were all drunk?”
"Yes, sir!"
An ominous feeling rose in Li Shiming's mind after he received the confirmation from the Yellow Door Sect.
Wine...
Speaking of wine, it seemed that Li Gaoming had been making it recently. Zhenguan wine, distilled wine, the taste was indeed very strong.。。
Thinking of this, Li Shiming's face darkened even more. He clenched his fists," Men, come!”
Outside the Duke Lu Mansion.
This group of old fellows were punching and kicking each other. They were fighting hard. At this moment, they heard a series of dense and orderly footsteps coming from afar.
Immediately after, Little Yellow Door's sharp voice sounded in each of their ears," The Emperor has arrived!”
In an instant, this group of old fogeys woke up from their drunken stupor.
They grimaced and widened their eyes, stunned for two seconds.
Who am I? Where am I from? What am I doing?
Then, he came to a realization.
Oh, so we were fighting just now! Then why are we fighting? Yes, because we were drunk! Then why are we drunk? Well, it's all Old Monster Cheng's fault for suddenly coming here and insisting on drinking with us…
Yes, yes, yes, that makes sense. It's all this shameless Old Monster Cheng's fault!
Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, and the rest of the old men looked at each other for a moment before turning their gazes to Cheng Yaojin.
Li Shi Min looked at the group of old generals who had fought alongside him and conquered the Tang Empire. Their faces were as black as the African brothers in the refugee camp.
"Tell me, what happened? In broad daylight, a group of officials of the Great Tang were fighting with each other. What a disgrace!”Li Shi Min said coldly.
Your Majesty, this matter..." Cheng Yaojin took a step forward and wanted to explain, but Yuchi Jingde, who was beside him, suddenly reached out and pulled him down.
Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Hou Junji, and the others stepped forward and pointed at Cheng Yaojin.
"Your Majesty, it's all Old Monster Cheng's fault!"
" Yes, Your Majesty. I was practicing my martial arts in the drill ground when Old Monster Cheng suddenly barged in and insisted on drinking with me. I didn't want to drink, but he invited me so warmly that I couldn't refuse. Sigh…"
"That's right, that's right, this subject is the same!”
"You, you, you…you guys are really shameless!”
Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he couldn't even finish his sentence. He looked aggrieved and careless in making friends." When you snatched the wine from my hand just now, weren't you…boohoo, boohoo!”
Before Cheng Yaojin could finish his sentence, Yuchi Jingde found a rag and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he smiled at Li Shimin and said,"Hehe, hehehe, Your Majesty, I think Old Monster Cheng is drunk. He drank too much, hehehe…"
"Alright, alright!"
Looking at his brothers who had fought with him through thick and thin to build the foundation of the Tang Empire, Li Shimin couldn't get angry. He waved his hand and said," You can save these words for Wei Zheng and the group of censors at the morning court tomorrow!”
When they heard Li Shiming mention Wei Zheng, the faces of these lawless old men darkened.
"Do you have any objections to being punished with three months of salary?”Li Shi Min said.
"We have no objections!" The group of old fools lowered their heads.
"Alright, go back and reflect on your mistakes!”Li Shi Min waved his hand.
" Yes..." The group of old men replied, then lowered their heads and picked up the weapons on the ground. Just as they were about to leave, they heard Li Shiming's voice again,""Cheng Zhijie, wait a moment. I still have something to ask you!”
Cheng Yaojin had just picked up his Eight Trigrams Axe and was about to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the mansion. However, when he heard Li Shiming's words, his body stiffened and he almost lost his grip on the axe.
Qin Qiong and the others snickered at the side, and then they met Li Shiming's angry gaze." What? You guys want to stay too?"”
"No, no, no. We will leave immediately!”Qin Qiong and the others picked up their weapons and ran far away in a puff of smoke.
" Your Majesty, hehehe, why do you want me, Old Cheng, to stay? I…" Cheng Yaojin rubbed his head and laughed awkwardly.
Li Shi Min took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and finally asked,"Did you take the Zhenguan wine from the Crown Prince?”
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment when he heard that. Then, he rolled his eyes and slapped his thigh with a slap, revealing an aggrieved look.
"Yes, Your Majesty is really perceptive! Those wines were all forced to me by His Highness the Crown Prince! I tried my best to decline, but I don't know what happened to His Highness. Even if he forced it on me, I couldn't do anything about it!”
Li Shi Min was speechless.
If Li Chengqian was present at this moment, he would definitely admire the degree of shamelessness of this Old Monster Cheng!
(Votes!)
(As for some readers, I'll explain later that the main character is a prince, but he actually jumped around like this. However, since he was writing a book in Feilu, since things like transmigration had already happened, and since it was a cool novel, why did he have to dig to the root?)）
