"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
What could the crowd say?
They hurriedly knelt down and sang loudly.
The moment they knelt down, there were palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly carrying trays to the Political Announcement Hall.
Xiao Guizi personally took the tray for Li Shimin. At this time, the crowd dared to raise their heads and look at the tray in front of them.
At first glance, everyone thought they were mistaken.
They rubbed their eyes and confirmed that it was indeed a bucket.
And it was the smallest bucket, a bamboo tube!
Was this wine?
Was this really wine?
The officials looked at the wine on the tray and couldn't help whispering.
"Hey, what wine is this? Why does it smell like fermented glutinous rice? "
"No, it's probably not fermented glutinous rice."
"This … what is it?"
"Everyone!"
Li Shimin stood up with a smile, picked up the bamboo tube, unscrewed the cork sealed with gum, and said, "This is a good thing that I happened to get recently. Try it. Although the taste is a little pungent at the first time, when you force yourself to drink it, you will find that you can't stop at all!"
Li Shimin's words instantly made all the officials unable to sit still.
They curiously imitated Li Shimin's appearance and pulled out the cork. Some people even used too much force and intuitively broke the bamboo tube.
In an instant, a white foam rushed out of the bamboo tube.
The official trembled with fear and wanted to throw away the bamboo tube in his hand subconsciously, but after seeing Li Shimin, he resisted the fear and withdrew his hand.
The white foam, along the official's hand, dripped to the floor of the Political Announcement Hall. In an instant, a strange smell made everyone twitch their noses.
What was this?
Was this thing really wine?
"This can't be, why does it smell like horse urine?"
"Shut up! Don't you want to live? "
In everyone's frightened voices, Li Shimin acted as if he didn't see or hear anything. He stood up, held the bamboo tube high, and said, "Everyone, please drink this bucket!"
While speaking.
Li Shimin didn't wait for anyone's response and gulped it down.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the crowd with disdain and roared, "Come, come, come, let's drink too. A group of bookworms, your mouths are usually full of the smell of ink. Now, even our Emperor has drunk it. What are you doing?"
While speaking, Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng, and the others also picked up their bamboo tubes, and gulped down the wine.
Cheng Yaojin even purposely smacked his lips and glanced at Yuchi Gong.
That hint of jealousy and provocation caused Yuchi Gong and the other generals to explode. ,
Wasn't it just finding something to drink?
Lao Tzu had drunk his own urine before. Why would he be afraid of this?
His Majesty has already drunk it, how can we not drink it?
"Generals, heed my command."
"Ha!"
The generals looked at Yuchi Gong. Even Cheng Yaojin had drunk it, so how could they not?
This was a group of men made of flesh and blood. The two generals had already drunk it, so what could they do?
"Ha! Let's drink for the Tang Dynasty! "
Loud and clear voices resounded in the Political Announcement Hall.
The civil officials couldn't help but blush.
"What should we do?"
"What should we do?"
"Let's drink. His Majesty has already drunk it. Are we more pretentious than His Majesty?"
"Ha!"
Everyone resisted the urge to vomit and forcefully swallowed all the wine in their mouths. It was as if they were drinking poisoned wine.
Li Chengqian was no exception. However, when he remembered that this thing was made by Zhang Feng, and that his father and the emperor emeritus had drunk it yesterday, and that his father was drinking it in front of all the officials, how could he not drink it?
At first, his stomach was churning, but after the third mouthful, he slowly tasted a little of the wine.
It wasn't that bad after all!
He couldn't help but continue drinking.
He swallowed the bamboo tube.
Before he could taste it …
Cheng Yaojin, who was standing next to him, bumped into Li Chengqian.
"How is it? The wine is still there, right? "
"It's not bad. What kind of wine is it?"
"Beer!"
Beer?
Li Chengqian was confused.
He had drunk fermented rice, fruit wine, and water wine. He had even tasted alcohol, but it was the first time he had heard of beer. He couldn't help but feel confused.
At this moment, Li Shimin put down the bamboo tube.
He looked at the confused eyes of the civil and military officials.
He laughed and said, "Everyone, how's the taste of this wine?"
"Your Majesty, may I ask what kind of wine it is? Why did I feel like I was drinking horse piss when I tasted it for the first time? But after the second time, why did I suddenly feel that this wine has a strong malt taste? When this wine entered my stomach, it didn't go as smoothly as other wines. Instead, it made me feel like my stomach was squirming. "
"Your Majesty, I also had the same feeling, and I kept burping. I had some indigestion, but when I drank this barrel of wine, why did I feel …"
"Your Majesty, is this wine a tribute from the Barbarian Tribe in the Wilderness? Otherwise, why haven't I heard of this wine before? "
"Hahaha, this wine! It's none other than the product of our Tang Dynasty. The name of this wine is beer! "
"I've set up a market square at the Vermilion Bird Bridge. After the court, if you want to drink, there will be plenty. And this bamboo tube only costs one copper coin!"
