Chapter 57 Uncle Cui takes off his boots
Qin Lang really likes to drink with Wei Zheng. Drinking with Lao Wei is completely different from drinking with Liu Jiulinsan. Drinking with reckless heroes like Liu Jiulinsan, the intention is to have a good time, and the chat is full of wine, **** and wealth, and the three sentences can't be separated from some nasty jokes.
Although it’s cool to drink a lot and eat meat, it’s too superficial.
Old Wei likes to take small sips when drinking. He understands wine, and after drinking, he will talk to you about compelling topics such as life ideals. Talking to him a few more words will make Qin Lang feel as if he has sublimated himself, and he is also a person. There is a person who has a strong character.
"Old Wei, I won't let you suffer from our partnership. You just need to give me the secret recipe of Weigong wine koji and the brewing method of Weigong wine, and I will contribute people, effort and money. Let's expand the scale and increase production. At this time, the money is rolling in, two and one add up to five, and one person gets half."
"You can talk to my housekeeper about these vulgar matters." Wei Zheng waved his hand.
"Okay, then you can just wait for the money to be distributed. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being rich. Don't be ashamed to mention money. It's not that a gentleman can't talk about profit, but don't put the cart before the horse, pursue money interests too much and ignore justice. I just like money. I can do many things when I have money. Not to mention, I and my family can live more comfortably, and I can also help people around me. Things, such as collecting and organizing ancient books, such as researching and improving papermaking techniques, researching water conservancy projects, farming livestock, etc., which one is not a technique that benefits the country and the people? Even a country cannot do without money. If the national treasury has money, you can hold your back, coerce the world, and frighten all directions. Who doesn't need money to raise officials, soldiers, and soldiers?" Qin Lang didn't hide the fact that he likes money at all.
Wei Zheng listened thoughtfully.
"Sanlang, Cui Sheren is here again." Fu Bo, the old doorman, came to report.
"Again? What's the matter?"
"It is said that there is an order from the prince."
Qin Lang was a little impatient, he came here seven or eight times a day, and he was really not tired, "Please come in."
Cui Dunli stood at Qin Lang's door with a resentful expression on his face. He really didn't want to come. Every time he came, that Qin San didn't regard him as his uncle at all. Once he came, he would be angry, but the crown prince asked him to come by name. , he can do nothing. Who told him that he used to be a member of the East Palace princelings, but now he can only be a man with his tail between his legs, running hard with both legs, and earning some hard work.
"Cui Sheren, what's the matter?"
In the living room, Qin Lang continued to drink, not bothering to get up.
Cui Dunli saw Wei Zheng, his former colleague, and couldn't help but sneer a little. He actually came to hug the thigh of a little guy like Qin Lang, it's really embarrassing for a scholar.
"Qin Lang, the crown prince has arrived."
"Read it."
"His Royal Highness orders you to go to the East Palace to play right away."
"You help me repay the prince, just say that I have no official and a light body, and I was drunk at home today."
Cui Dunli raised his eyebrows, "Qin Lang, don't be arrogant. This is the prince's call. If you don't want to go, won't you go?"
Qin Lang was seven or eight times drunk at this time, and really didn't want to go.
"Wei Gong's wine is not exchanged for gold, Qin Lang fights with the gods, the emperor can't come to the court, and he claims to be a minister of wine." Qin Lang raised his wine glass and chanted a poem.
"Good poem!" Wei Zheng praised loudly at the side. Although this poem is not very good in rhyme, it reveals an incomparably free and easy heroism, especially the latter sentence, which is really enviable.
Wei Zheng couldn't help thinking, if only I could be as chic as him, it would be great, but unfortunately I still can't do it, this Qin Lang always loves money, but now the prince refuses to offer it to him, he is much better than him.
Cui Dunli snorted, "The little man also wants to dance and write?" After he finished speaking, he didn't try to persuade him anymore, he just turned his head and left. He is in a hurry to go back to the East Palace to read Qin Lang's book, so he can talk about Qin Lang in front of the crown prince. His arrogance, arrogance and ugliness let the prince know his arrogance and childishness.
Eastern Palace.
Li Shimin was waiting for Qin Lang to arrive. After being persuaded by the Changsun family, Li Shimin realized that his treatment of Qin Lang was still a bit too arbitrary and even naive.
After waiting for a long time, Cui Dunli came back and sued Qin Lang.
"Drinking too much with Wei Zheng during the day? Refusing to be called?"
"Returning to Your Highness, it is true. Then Qin Lang recited a poem arrogantly, saying that the emperor can't come to court, and he calls himself a minister of wine. He is extremely arrogant."
"Who wrote this poem, I have never heard of it before?" Li Shimin felt that these two lines of poems were really crazy, but there was something crazy about them.
"This is actually a doggerel, written by Qin Lang. The first two sentences are even more unsettling. Wei Gong's wine is not exchanged for gold, and Qin Lang fights with the gods. This doesn't rhyme at all, and it completely exposes his ignorance."
Li Shimin started fighting the world at the age of sixteen, and fought in the north and south for more than ten years. However, Li Shimin's literary accomplishment is still good. Although it can't compare with Sui Yangdi's astonishing literary skills and achievements, after all, he has collected a lot of people. Celebrities and Confucian scholars are staff members, so Li Shimin's poems are actually quite good. Although the few poems imitating Yang Guang are still a bit far behind, they can already be regarded as excellent.
It is really surprising that this poem was written by Qin Lang.
"After being drunk, I wrote as I please, and I have this level without modification. It's already very good. I didn't expect that Qin Sanlang has such a literary talent." Not only was Li Shimin not dissatisfied, but he laughed, making Cui Dunli Extremely depressed.
"Go again and bring Qin Lang here. If he refuses to come because he's drunk, you have to carry him here."
"Your Highness, why bother with this arrogant boy." Cui Dunli persuaded.
"Cui Sheren, Qin Sanlang is not an arrogant kid. On the contrary, he is a great hero of Jingluan. Although he has violated Gu's marriage before, it is not a big deal. You are still Qin Sanlang's uncle, why? But tell him so?"
"Although the minister and Qin Lang are uncles and nephews, you can't cover up his arrogance and rudeness just because they are relatives." He argued.
Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, go and fetch him, be more polite, he is a great hero alone."
Cui Dunli withdrew in panic, stood outside the hall, and couldn't help scolding Qin Lang inwardly. But I had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Yong'an Square again.
When he arrived, Qin Lang was completely drunk at this time, and he was already lying on the couch on the porch and fell asleep, still snoring.
Cui Dunli called Qin Lang, but Qin Lang ignored him.
Thinking that Li Shimin was still waiting, he didn't dare to turn around and leave, so he had to ask someone to pick up Qin Lang and send him to the East Palace in a carriage.
When he arrived at the East Palace, Qin Lang was still drunk.
Cui Dunli helped Qin Lang into the hall, Li Shimin looked up and saw Qin Lang so drunk, he couldn't help frowning.
"How much did you drink?" Li Shimin had no choice but to see Qin Lang in a white robe and casual clothes reeking of alcohol, so he said, "Change Qin Lang's clothes."
An **** brought a white dress, Li Shimin shook his head.
"Qin Lang is still the Duke of the Founding County, how can he wear white clothes and give him a purple robe and jade belt."
The servants hurried to change the purple robes and brought them over. The clothes are easy to change, but the boots can't be taken off for a while.
Li Shimin looked at Cui Dunli who was standing beside him and sneered, and snorted.
"Cui Sheren, go up and help Qin Lang take off his boots."
Cui Dunli froze there, almost unable to believe it.
Although he is only a sixth-rank Zhongshu Tongshi Ren, but that is also an extremely noble and powerful position. At that time, he was an important position in Zhongshu who was able to judge all kinds of affairs, and he could almost be called a prime minister.
Zhongshu Sheren is the Prime Minister, and Zhongshu Tongshi Sheren is the reserve of Zhongshu Sheren.
Not to mention that he, Cui Dunli, is a direct descendant of the Boling Cui clan with five surnames and seven clans. Is there anyone more noble than him among the famous noble families in the world?
Now he is the dignified son of the Cui family of Boling, is still a general manager, and is Qin Lang's uncle, but now he wants to take off Qin Lang's boots?
If it gets out, where will his face be, where will the face of Boling Cui be?
"Hurry up, I still have something to talk to Qin Lang about." Li Shimin couldn't see Cui Dunli's thoughts, but he deliberately pretended not to see it, just urging him.
"Your Highness, please let the servant take off his boots."
"The servants are busy, don't you happen to be standing there?"
Cui Dunli bit the bullet and said, "I'm Qin Lang's uncle, so there's no reason for an uncle to take off his nephew's boots."
Li Shimin snorted coldly, "This is the East Palace, not your home. Here, you and Qin Lang are ministers in the same palace, not nephews and uncles. Qin Lang is the founding county magistrate of Licheng, and you are the sixth-rank general. "
Cui Dunli didn't want to take off his boots for Qin Lang, but at this time he could see that Li Shimin was looking for trouble with him in disguise, probably because he thought he was a princeling, and at the same time, because he said bad things about Qin Lang several times today, he annoyed him. Young new prince.
Li Shimin just looked at Cui Dunli like that. Finally, Cui Dunli didn't have the courage to resign directly, so he had to lower his head and go forward to take off Qin Lang's boots.
It took a lot of effort to tear off the two boots. The boots that had just been taken off in Da Xia Tian smelled of sweat, and Cui Dunli almost vomited in nausea.
"Lao Cuishe will help Qin Lang put on the new boots by the way!"
A servant handed over a pair of brand-new black leather six-slit boots, Cui Dunli reluctantly took it, held his breath and tried hard to help Qin Lang put it on.
"Okay, Cui Sheren, you can retire now."
Seeing that the boots were put on, Li Shimin sent Cui Dunli away.
Watching Cui Dunli walk out of the hall, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face. He enjoyed seeing this proud five-surnamed man in a mess.
"Erlang, Cui Sheren has five surnames, and he is considered a celebrity in Chang'an, so I'm afraid it's not good to treat him like this?" A servant advised Li Shimin in a low voice.
"Hmph, this Cui Dunli is Qin Lang's uncle. Although he is not a real uncle, he is still a relative, but he has repeatedly slandered Qin Lang in front of Gu. How can he be a good person? Gu has never had a good feeling for these five surnames. It would be nice to have a chance to dampen his arrogance."
In the years when Li Shimin competed with the crown prince, the five surnames and seven families in Shandong basically fell to the East Palace, which caused Li Shimin to have some resentment towards these famous noble families. Although now that he is the prince, he has to win over these people, but Li Shimin also understands that it is not enough to just blindly win over, and it takes a combination of kindness and power.
"Get Qin Sanlang a bowl of hangover soup." Li Shimin looked at Qin Lang who was still drunk, and shook his head involuntarily.
Qin Lang would never have imagined at this moment that even when he was drunk, he would be borrowed by Li Shimin to be a gunman, and he would use it to kill the arrogance of the five surnames.
