Chapter 41 Spirits

"Father, I don't know. This wine is highly potent. Please drink it in small sips!"

After pouring a sip of wine for everyone, Shota Xiao smiled and explained.

"I, a Daqin person, are generous and prefer to drink in big gulps. When have you ever tasted small sips? Pour me some more!"

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes, looking very unhappy, and reached out to pick up the exquisite and clear wine bottle.

If you don't let me defeat you, I will do it myself!

However, Xiao Zhengtai reacted faster and immediately held the wine bottle in his arms, "Father, I don't have much wine, you'd better taste it first before talking!"

Just kidding, this wine was very famous in later generations. If you get it in this era, it is like a fairy wine.

How can I fill up that old thing at once?

Moreover, the current wine bottle is very big, and the bottle must be filled at least three to four taels. Each person present has a bottle, and he can’t even share the bottle!

Ying Zheng glared at Xiao Zhengtai with a dark face, and then looked at his wine master, "Is this really wine? Why is it so clear? Could it be that you used water to fool us?"

Little Shota is really speechless. It's not like you can't smell such a strong smell of alcohol.

"Sha..."

"Ahem..."

Just when Mr. Yingzheng lowered his head in suspicion, Ying Yinman and Fusu had already raised their necks and drank a mouthful of wine from the wine baron.

After taking a sip of strong wine, Fusu felt that his throat was like a knife cutting on fire.

Ying Yinman was overwhelmed by the alcohol and coughed violently.

"Ahem...Father, this is so...very strong wine!"

Ying Yinman coughed and raised his hand to prove it.

This is indeed wine, and a strong drink at that.

"Well, this wine feels like a knife cutting into your mouth, but after you drink it, the aroma of wine fills your mouth and lingers for a long time. It is indeed a good wine!"

Fusu's face was filled with surprise.

"oh?"

Ying Zheng was half convinced.

The two children just didn't know anything about it, and they were astonished if they got a little better.

As the first emperor who unified the six kingdoms, what kind of good wine did he not drink?

A few years ago, when the wines from the Western Regions were presented as tributes, they were highly praised, but when I tasted them, they turned out to be bland and tasteless, wasn’t it?

Ying Zheng looked at the wine cup for a long time, then raised his head and poured the wine in the wine cup into his mouth.

"Cough cough cough..."

As soon as Wuliangye entered his mouth, Ying Zheng covered his chest and coughed.

Even more severe than Ying Yinman's cough.

The young eunuch Jing Fu quickly supported his back, hoping to make Ying Zheng feel better!

"I'll just tell you, father, you can taste it slowly, you just don't believe it!"

The young lady took a sip, showing an expression of enjoyment and gloating.

"Ahem..."

Ying Zheng was still coughing violently. Seeing this kid eating delicious food and reading his jokes at the same time, he wanted to go up and slap him twice.

"Beautiful sister, imperial brother, do you want some more?"

Little Shota took out the wine from her arms and asked.

"Yes, of course!"

The two of them answered almost in unison.

Needless to say?

They have never had such a good drink in their whole lives, how could they miss it?

"Brother Imperial, beautiful sister, you have to drink good wine little by little, don't be in a hurry!"

As Xiao Zhengtai spoke, he winked at Ying Zheng.

Let this old guy not listen to advice, now you have a taste of it, right?

Although Ying Yinman also choked on the strong drink, he was young, so just take it slow.

Can this old man's body be compared to that of a teenager?

"I...ahem...pour some for me too!"

Ying Zheng suppressed his cough and waved to Xiao Zhengtai.

"Father, do you still want to drink?"

"Drink! Ahem... of course you have to drink! This alcohol is pure and strong, it is indeed a rare and good wine!"

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? This wine was left to me by my master!"

Xiao Zhengtai smacked his lips proudly and poured another sip for Ying Zheng.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you conquered everyone with your wine, and you will be rewarded with +15 charm points!]

With the experience last time, Ying Zheng did not drink it in one gulp this time, but imitated the little shot and sipped it in small mouths.

"Siha, the wine is mellow and fragrant, good wine!"

"Of course!"

"Feiyu, you said this wine was given by your master. Could it be that the retirement system proposed in the court today was also what your master told you?"

"No! I came up with that myself!"

Ying Feiyu immediately shook his head.

The system didn't tell him what to say in court, nor did it actively issue tasks!

"Then how did you come up with the idea?"

This opinion was so shocking that although Ying Zheng did not express his opinion or inquire in detail in the morning meeting, he was worried about causing too much trouble.

But he has always been thinking about it.

"I didn't think much about it. Cows and horses have to retire when they get old, so ministers must also take a rest when they get old...!"

Little Shota sat on the stone bench, showing an innocent expression, and continued: "Father, do you still remember what happened in Yunyang?"

"Of course I will remember it and will never forget it for the rest of my life!"

When Yunyang was mentioned, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly became frosty.

The most trusted person around him and his son actually joined forces to seek to usurp the throne. If he hadn't experienced it personally, he would never have imagined it!

"Since Zhao Gao dares to seek the throne and usurp the throne, it is because he has something to rely on. His minions are all over the court. The reason why the ministers proposed the retirement system is to allow the ministers to enjoy their old age in peace, and the other is to let them cut off this relationship.

!”

"After they retire and lose their rights, those minions will naturally disperse. Even if they want to find another backer, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight!"

"Hiss..."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng and Fu Su took a deep breath.

Unexpectedly, a simple retirement system can break the secret collusion between the ministers of the DPRK and China!

Ying Yinman is a princess and does not participate in government affairs, so naturally she cannot understand what they are saying. She is happily drinking wine and eating stir-fried vegetables!

"My master said that the reason why Zhao Gao succeeded in his rebellion was because he won over Prime Minister Li Si and defeated hundreds of officials, which led to the death of Qin II!"

"Bangdang..."

After Xiao Zhengtai finished speaking, Ying Yinman's chopsticks for picking vegetables froze in mid-air. Fusu was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the wine cup in his hand steadily and fell directly to the ground.

What did they just hear?

Qin II died?

The letter sent back by Ying Zheng only said that Zhao Gao and Hu Hai were rebelling, but it did not say that Qin II would die?

Who will Qin II be?

At this time, Fusu was panicking!

You're not talking about yourself, are you?

"Brother, don't worry, my master is not referring to you!"

Seeing Fusu's widened eyes and the cold sweat on his forehead, Shota immediately understood and explained with a smile.

"call……"

Fusu let out a long sigh of relief.

This scared him so much that he almost peed his pants!

"Without Li Si's participation, the forces cultivated by Zhao Gao may not have been possible. Therefore, Erchen suggested that the post of prime minister be abolished and replaced with three provinces and six ministries to decentralize power. Even if someone has evil intentions in the future, it will be difficult to rebel!"
