"Really quit?" Ma Zhou shuddered when he heard the words. He glanced at the smiling Li Shimin with a guilty conscience. He sighed and then sighed before he bowed back and said: "The minister violated the emperor's will, this wine really did not quit. The minister is ashamed!"
"Unexpected thing!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, "I bet with Auxiliary Engine, Xuancheng and others, saying that King Ma Bin will never give up drinking, and all of them have the same idea as me. Sure enough, Xuancheng is testing it today. Next, you won’t confess yourself!"
Everyone burst into laughter, Ma Zhou's nervous mood improved a lot in an instant, and the whole person relaxed, not as restrained as before. In fact, when Ma Zhou was inexplicably named by Li Shimin, he was looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the bowl, swallowing his saliva, and wanted to taste two mouthfuls, but he had to endure his inner suffering in full view.
Ma Zhou is a rising star. He is not an official who has always followed Li Shimin to fight the world, but his character is straightforward, upright, and daring to speak out, which is exactly the same as Wei Zheng's temperament, and the two have also become irreversible friends.
Although they are close friends, they often get into trouble because of arguing and official affairs. They can't even go back to the house after they disperse. The two people's seriousness in everything also makes the two people noisy and noisy, basically. It was caused by the disagreement, and it didn't hurt the friendship between the two.
The friendship between the two was forged by drinking. Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng quarreled in the court as usual. After they left the court, the more and more unconvinced Ma Zhou went straight to Wei Zheng's house, wanting to continue the topic in the court. The subordinate in Wei Zheng's mansion saw that he was an adult's colleague, so he let him go directly into the mansion and took him to the place where Wei Zheng was.
At this time, Wei Zheng was making wine, while drinking the wine he brewed, he was formally excited to see Ma Zhou appear next to him for some time and was so angry that he yelled at him. Ma Zhou ignored it, only Wei Zheng brewed in his eyes, allowing him to swear at himself.
Wei Zheng cursed and saw Ma Zhou did not reply. It was not like the person he knew. The cursive voice stopped. He curiously looked at Ma Zhou with only wine in his eyes. The drooling appearance made Wei Zheng very surprised. The visitor was a guest. The etiquette made Wei Zheng entertain Ma Zhou with wine.
It was precisely this time that Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou were reluctant to invite each other, and they had a conversation with each other. Except for their political disagreement, most of their ideas were the same. The more they talked, the more speculative they talked. They talked for a whole day and night, and they drank all day and night. This caused Wei Zheng to drank and lay down for a long time before sobering up. But when someone said that Ma Zhou was okay, he went to the palace. , Can't help being surprised.
From then on, the reputation of Ma Zhou as a wine fairy spread throughout the entire Datang. Even Li Shimin heard that Ma Zhou can drink eight liters of wine, which is definitely a huge amount. Li Shimin gradually discovered that Ma Zhou would secretly drink a few cups each time before he went to court. Even when he summoned him, he was drinking in most cases. Li Shimin was so angry that Li Shimin directly patted the table and warned him solemnly: "If you commit another crime. , Will be severely punished!"
In order to avoid making mistakes, Ma Zhou had to reluctantly give up alcohol. However, ideals are beautiful and reality is cruel. Ma Zhou, who has long been accustomed to being accompanied by wine every day, suddenly stopped drinking, and that was the greatest punishment for him. Even if he was addicted to alcohol, he would show an intoxicated expression even if he smelled the smell of wine.
Although he was determined to give up drinking, Ma Zhou persisted for ten days and still broke the vows, but he knew how to control the degree of drinking, so he no longer got drunk and dreamed of death. For Ma Zhou, who is addicted to alcohol, this is the limit of his endurance. If he really doesn't drink alcohol, then he is not Ma Zhou.
Anyone who is familiar with Ma Zhou knows that he secretly drank, opening one eye and closing the other. Li Shimin is also aware of Ma Zhou's behavior, but he didn't get to the bottom of it too much, as long as it doesn't affect business affairs, he will do everything with him.
"Bing Wang, if you drink with Kuaner, I don't know who is better!" Li Shimin is looking forward to the scene of the two drinking. Ma Zhou is called "the horse is not drunk" when he is not drinking, although it is a ridicule. But he is a recognized mass, even Wei Zheng can't compare with it.
Ma Zhou smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Chu is even better!"
Everyone was amazed. When it comes to drinking, Ma Zhou has never been afraid of anyone, even if the three of them fight him together, Ma Zhou has never lost the wind, everyone is drunk, but the more he drinks, the more sober he is, and he is a well-deserved fairy in the wine. . Today, he was willing to bow down to the wind, which made everyone look at Ma Zhou and waited for his explanation.
"One-to-one, if the minister is not humble, he said that it is difficult to meet the opponent; with one enemy three, the minister still does not fall; if one enemy six is equal, one enemy nine ministers will undoubtedly be guilty!" Ma Zhouwei said, Li Kuan Yiyi Even he was beyond the reach of the enemy nine. If it were one-on-one, Ma Zhou would say he was not an opponent, so he had to bow down to the wind, and then said: "If it is the spirits of the world, the minister would not dare to praise Haikou, at most So the two altars must fall."
Talking about wine, that is one of Ma Zhou's most familiar areas. He left home since he was a child and lived a life of wandering and wandering. He had been with wine all day long and knew it well. Even the massive horse week has been drunk and unconscious.
Li Shimin wondered: "Is the wine in the world really good?"
Ma Zhou replied affirmatively: "Unparalleled in the world!"
"Then I have a chance to taste it!"
Li Shimin was also interested when he heard this. Ma Zhou was so sure that the wine in the world must be extraordinary, and the reason why Ma Zhou was warned was because it was rumored that he had never thought that he was actually drunk when he entered the palace. Li Shimin became ashamed and angry. Only a few people knew the reason for it. The drunk was because Ma Zhou drank the most famous spirit in the world. The feeling made him endless aftertaste, but also completely drunk. Province personnel.
Li Kuan was very surprised why Ma Zhou knew about the spirits in the world, and he was full of praise for it, which made him guess that the amount of alcohol in Ma Zhou should be the first batch of real spirits he introduced. , Otherwise it is absolutely impossible to have such an effect.
After several improvements, Li Kuan concluded that the alcohol content of the subsequent wines sold was not particularly high, and that there were only more than hundreds of bottles that flowed into the market, and other stocks were hidden in his house. Because of the lack of age, Li Kuan decided to temporarily store it for later consumption.
After being surprised, Li Kuan felt that this was also a good thing. At least he was happy and leisurely, and everyone continued to talk about the wine. After Ma Zhou said freely, everyone soon knew that the wine from "Tianxialou" was definitely the best in the world.
Li Kuan listened to Ma Zhou's endless talk, thinking: "If this goes on, Tianxialou will surely become the first building in the world."
Under Ma Zhou’s strong recommendation, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Chinese Communist Party was filled with infinite yearning, and even Li Shimin also coveted it. As long as they really went to buy wine, Tianxialou could not only be known to the people in Jiangling, but also in the capital. Tianxialou also knows the streets, which is a happy event for Li Kuan.
