Chapter 353 "Come on, drink! Drink quickly!"
At this time, Li Chengqian felt that his stomach was already churning, and he didn't know how much wine he had drank. If they hadn't been prepared in advance, they would have laid down long ago.
With so many people, Cheng Yaojin was the most shameless. Relying on his good drinking ability, he first drank half a bucket of water to a table full of people, and then started to greet a few groomsmen.
Especially for the prince Li Chengqian, given such a good opportunity, who else would be able to convince him if not him?
Changsun rushed to the others and tried his best to stop the prince from drinking, but before they could make any move, he was pulled aside by some old marshals to drink.
After sending the emperor back to the palace, Fang and Du also came. The emperor originally wanted to come, but he was stopped by several people.
After all, the banquet tonight is too chaotic. Even if there are guards to protect it, it can't be said to be foolproof.
Besides, it's not appropriate for him to go tonight. His biological parents are here, so you, a foster father, are going to steal his limelight?This is obviously inappropriate.
The civil servants sat at the same table, and although they drank a lot, they were not as powerful as the generals, and everyone was still moderate.
Seeing the prince being drunk by a military commander, Fang Xuanling wanted to go out and stop him, but was blocked by Wei Zheng.
"Okay, do you really think they are stupid?" Wei Zheng said.
"This is the way they get along with each other. Even if His Majesty is in front of him, he won't care. If you want the general to be convinced, you don't have to be of noble birth."
Fang Xuanling also didn't think about this for a while. She thought that just now Ji Song asked the prince to entertain him, but she disappeared. She said she was going to change clothes. There was nothing wrong here. Only a ghost would believe it!
Military generals are different from civil servants. Civil servants are hindered by etiquette and law. Even if the prince, the heir of the Tang Dynasty, is ineffective, he will do his best to assist him.
But generals are different. They don't require you to charge into battle and lead them on the battlefield, but at least you need to let them see your mind.
Now, unlike the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they don't expect you to have much martial arts skills, but they do need to have a broad mind and tolerance! The wine table is the best place to get to know someone, and you can also see a person's true magnanimity.
Just like now, although the prince is already drunk, he is still sober and does not talk nonsense. At the same time, he is also concerned that everyone should drink less.
Whether it was Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, or Qin Qiong, they were all human beings. Even if they didn't know it at first, they now discovered that there was something wrong with the wine.
But when the prince toasted Qin Qiong, he took the initiative to expose the problem and deliberately poured the fruit wine to Qin Qiong while he drank the strong wine.
For this alone, even if the general cannot be won over, at least everyone has a good impression of the prince.
That's it.
Your Majesty still believes that the only loyal object of these generals can only be the emperor. It is a great opportunity for the prince to gain their favor.
If something happens to the prince in the future, even if these generals don't help the prince, at least they won't easily add insult to injury. That's fine.
Just when Li Chengqian was completely drunk, Ji Song arrived late.
"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long," Ji Song apologized quickly.
Seeing that Li Chengqian was drunk, he quickly said: "Butler, butler, let the prince be carried down to rest quickly. Be sure to give him some sobering soup."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, it's easy to save yourself." Zheng Li said.
Cheng Yaojin was almost drunk. When he saw Ji Song coming out, he patted his shoulder hard and said loudly: "You are unreasonable. I'm almost drunk before you come out."
"No, I have to drink you drunk tonight so that he can't enter the bridal chamber. Can you guys agree?"
"Okay, Hao Marquis, we admire your martial arts, but we don't accept your drinking! You can't do anything tonight without getting drunk!"
"That's right, you can rest after getting drunk!"
Others also started to make noises, but Li Jing and the other big guys just stood back and watched, as if watching the excitement.
Ji Song took a look and thought, come on, we can't hide tonight. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll let you see how much I drink tonight."
After saying that, he shouted: "Come here, serve the wine. Go and bring the best wine from the wine store. Let everyone taste the Jialiang from my Hao Jiehou Mansion tonight." Ji Song was facing everyone, and Zheng Li wanted to As he left, he suddenly saw a gesture from the Marquis. He nodded without any trace and left with a smile.
"Jia Liang?" Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing and others' eyes lit up.
You know, the good wines in the restaurants in Chang'an now all come from Hao Jiehou Mansion.
They have all drank it, and now this guy is talking about the best wine. This is incredible.
Who doesn't know that as long as it's something that this kid has said is good, it's definitely a rare thing.
"That's right, these are what the boy spent a lot of effort to make. They have been stored in the cellar for no less than five years, and the total is less than a hundred jars!"
"Stop chatting and serve the wine!" Li Jing said domineeringly.
Zheng Li and his men also brought the wine jar over.
Cheng Yaojin sniffed it with his nose, and his eyes lit up. He grabbed a jar and opened the mud seal. Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine spread out.
"Good wine!"
After saying that, he was about to drink, but was stopped by Li Jing.
“How can you keep good wine to yourself?”
He called the waiter and said, "Bring me a bowl. For good wine, you need a big bowl. How can you enjoy it!"
Li Jing took action, and Cheng Yaojin became anxious. He rolled his eyes, grabbed Ji Song and said, "Don't you want to get drunk before you stop? Do you dare to have a fight with me now?"
"Why don't you dare? There is nothing in this world that I, Ji Song, dare not do." If you give in now, don't think about raising your head in front of these old men in the future.
"Come!"
He came to a pair of wine jars, pointed and said: "To show fairness, I will let you choose first."
Ji Song spoke so grandly that a group of military generals echoed his words.
"Lao Fang, why do I feel that things are not that simple?" Du Ruhui looked at Ji Song, who was suddenly so proud, and felt something was wrong no matter how he thought about it.
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled: "We just saw that this kid has so many evil ideas, so we won't join in the fun."
Cheng Yaojin was stunned. Has this kid changed his temper today? I haven't seen him drinking on weekdays. Why did he get into trouble with me today? But who is he?He was the Demon King Cheng who drank all over Chang'an. When had he ever given up on drinking?Nothing said, just drink.
He didn't hesitate. Seeing that every jar was similar, he suddenly smiled and said, "I always respect the old and love the young, so you should come first!"
When everyone heard this, they felt nauseated. This old boy was so shameless.
Ji Song was not polite, he grabbed a jar and wanted to open it.
"slow!"
Blocking Ji Song's hand, Cheng Yaojin took the jar of wine into his arms unceremoniously and said with a smile: "I've changed my mind. You'd better make another jar!"
"No, this is mine." Ji Song was stunned and was about to go up and snatch the jar of wine.
"Haha, it's late!"
Looking at the wine jar being hugged tightly, Ji Song could only take another jar in depression.
When Cheng Yaojin saw Ji Song Rici's appearance, he knew that he had made the right choice. There was definitely something fishy about this kid, but luckily I deceived him.
