Chapter 268 The tea leaves that made Li Shimin laugh or cry
The scene suddenly became quiet.
The evil man Cheng Yaojin complained first.
Wei Zheng, who came back to his senses, also cursed: "Cheng Yaojin, you are slandering! It is obvious that you guys don't sleep for the middle of the night and climb to the wall of my husband's house."
After saluting respectfully, Wei Zheng said again: "Your Majesty! I impeach Cheng Yaojin and climbed on the wall at midnight."
Cheng Yaojin also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I will impeach Wei Zheng's old man, and he will not sleep in the middle of the night and behave in a bad manner."
"You are slandering." Wei Zheng was immediately furious.
The cold sweat and black lines of a group of ministers such as Fang Xuanling were all over the end.
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, who was calm and asked, "Xuanling, what's going on?"
Fang Xuanling kept silent, but wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing that Fang Xuanling had nothing to say, Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui again, "What the hell is going on."
Du Ruhui said: "Actually, I don't know what's going on. I just found someone fighting in the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. I went to persuade me to fight."
"Yes!" Wei Zheng also said loudly: "Yes! I have also tried to persuade the fight."
Cheng Yaojin immediately shouted, "Old Wei Zheng, you fart."
Wei Zheng blew his beard and stared at the three corpse gods and furiously said, "I didn't fart!"
"That's my mother!" Cheng Yaojin shouted and cursed, "It's obvious that you didn't sleep secretly in the middle of the night. Are you going to go outside to find a girl while the night is falling?"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were talking.
Wei Zheng was so angry that his face turned red, he took off his shoes and said, "Dare you slander my reputation! Cheng Yaojin! I have fought with you!"
Cheng Yaojin also took a step forward, "Come on! You have been disliked by Wei Zheng for a long time. Have you made two moves?"
The scene was tense, and the fight between Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng was about to break out.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others immediately grabbed Wei Zheng, "Calm down, calm down!"
Qin Qiongniu Jinda and other groups of generals also grabbed Cheng Yaojin, "Cheng Yaojin, don't do anything randomly."
"Enough!" Li Shimin shouted loudly, "Stop it all for me."
Li Shimin's shouting fell, and the two sides then held on their stance.
After looking at Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng, Li Shimin asked, "Cheng Yaojin, what are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "Old man Wei Zheng, he is nothaved in a deliberate manner in the middle of the night."
"Cheng Yaojin!"
Wei Zheng's eyes were full of fire, and he was unbearable. He threw his shoes on Cheng Yaojin's forehead.
Cheng Yaojin sneered, "Your Majesty, you see it. It was Wei Zhengxian's move."
"Stop talking!" Li Shimin covered his forehead in pain and said, "Take Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin down to me first."
Li Junxian hurriedly asked the people from Jinwu Guard to take Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng out of the Tai Chi Hall first.
Li Shimin continued to ask, "Now you tell me what's going on, why can't you all fall asleep?"
Qin Qiong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's actually all teasing."
Li Shimin looked surprised, "Tea? What kind of tea?"
Qin Qiong took out a small bag of tea from his arms and said, "It's this, Li Zheng sent it. Only a few of us couldn't sleep after drinking it."
"Is that true?" Li Shimin looked at the small bag of tea and sniffed it.
Li Xiaogong also said: "Li Zheng also gave some to the house. Although it was just some leaves, it really had a unique flavor to make tea. After drinking it, it was particularly energetic at night."
"That's it?" Li Shimin looked at the tea leaves curiously.
Looking at these generals and civil officials, Li Shimin flattered himself and thought that some thief had entered the city.
After several inquiries, I found out that it was Cheng Yaojin who climbed Niu Jinda's wall first.
Wei Zheng was the one who suffered the consequences.
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, "Cheng Yaojin was fined his salary for ten years and was facing the wall at home to think about his mistakes. You guys made trouble during the curfew, and each of them paid three stakes of money for silver."
"Here!" A group of generals and civil servants retired.
Cheng Yaojin cursed and looked at Wei Zheng from time to time while walking, "Why just me, Cheng Yaojin, is fined? Wei Zheng is obviously causing trouble."
Wei Zheng smiled disdainfully and proudly raised his head like a winner and walked out of Chengtian Gate.
"Wow!" Cheng Yaojin pointed to Wei Zheng's back and said, "Old Niu, Second Brother Qin, look at Wei Zheng's behavior!"
"Okay, the salary fine is already very good." Qin Qiong felt very worried. Cheng Yaojin, an old man, was too good at making trouble. The curfew caused trouble was big or small. Fortunately, everyone was the officials in the same court at most and just laughed and cursed a few words before passing.
If someone is really interested in causing trouble, I am afraid that it would be a crime of conspiring to assassinate and rebellion.
Qin Qiong glanced at the ministers who were brought this time, without Changsun Wuji's back.
Only then can I feel relieved...
After the ministers left, Li Shimin took this bag of small tea and let the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Office see that it was just ordinary tea.
Xu Zhaolin said: "Your Majesty is just ordinary tea. It is just fried and should be non-toxic. Moreover, tea has the effect of refreshing the mind, so it is not a big deal if you drink too much."
Li Shimin also made a bowl for himself. The tea tasted a bit astringent, but it was very sweet.
The taste was a bit wonderful, and Li Shimin took another sip.
Because of the incident on Zhuque’s street, Li Shimin was woken up, and Empress Changsun had to wake up and put on a coat for Li Shimin. She whispered: “Your Majesty, the children are still asleep.”
Li Shimin nodded slightly, looked at the tea leaves in the bowl and said, "Try this tea."
Empress Changsun picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "The taste is a bit strange, a little astringent, and it is sweet."
Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "This is the culprit for those generals not sleeping in the middle of the night."
“Is there anything unusual about this tea?”
"There is nothing special about tea." Li Shimin thoughtfully and said, "Li Zheng sent tea to so many ministers and generals in the court, but he just didn't give it to me."
Empress Changsun took a sip of tea and smiled, "Maybe Li Zheng forgot."
"Forgot?"
Empress Changsun said again: "Maybe Li Zheng feels that these tea leaves cannot reach His Majesty's eyes."
Li Shimin took a sip of tea in depression: "When did you even help Li Zheng talk?"
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's depressed expression and smiled quietly, and tasted another sip of tea.
When he woke up early in the morning, Li Zheng heard Xu Jingzong's words and knew what happened in Chang'an. He said in surprise: "More than 30 civil and military ministers, they didn't sleep late at night and made a big fuss on Zhuque Street?"
Xu Jingzong nodded, "It's true that the Jinwu Guards were all dispatched that night."
"Hiss..." Li Zheng took a deep breath, "Is that so exciting?"
Xu Jingzong said again: "Later I found out that it was all the tea made by the county marquis, and they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night."
“…”
Tea is a good thing to refresh one's mind, so it's fine if you drink tea for a long time.
If you drink too much at once, this thing is no different from Western coffee.
Moreover, tea is more suitable for the physical fitness of people in the Central Plains.
Tea has many functions, but people who have never drunk it suddenly drink a lot of tea for the first time.
