Chapter 330
"I'm fine!" Li Shimin waved his hands, looked at the craftsmen who were working in full swing, turned around and told the chief eunuch in the palace: "Come here, arrange the imperial dining room, make a few tables of good wine and banquets, and send them here quickly !"
The emperor did not send hungry soldiers, so many people rushed to work overnight for Li Shimin, Li Shimin was not stingy, and directly arranged for the imperial dining room to make supper and send it to the city wall.
Hearing this, the servant rushed back to the palace on flying horses, dragged up all the imperial cooks who were about to rest, and started to cook food in a hurry. According to Li Shimin's request, he moved the hot banquet to the city wall as quickly as possible.
I heard that the banquet given by the emperor was made by the royal chef in the palace. The craftsmen on the construction site were all grateful to Li Shimin, and they knelt down and shouted long live. After eating and drinking, they worked harder.
So at midnight, the damaged city wall was completely repaired. After Li Shimin checked the reliability of the city wall, he suddenly became happier. He decided to cancel the morning court tomorrow, and stood on the city wall, waiting to see how Li Daliang looked deflated.
When it was daylight, Li Daliang and other important officials of the court rushed to the city wall, and found that Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others had been waiting there for a long time, watching them come with a smile.
When the ministers saw Li Shimin, they all looked puzzled, especially Li Daliang, who had a strange feeling in their hearts for no reason.
"What's the situation? Didn't His Majesty return to the palace tonight? Waiting here, did you decide to give up the bet?"
"No way, there is no reason for His Majesty to voluntarily give up. This matter is full of mystery. Didn't the housekeeper and the eldest grandson follow His Majesty? Looking at them, it doesn't look like His Majesty wants to take the initiative to admit defeat." ah!"
"Li Daliang, it's almost over. Who can fix such a big gap in one night, take the initiative to apologize to His Majesty later, admit your mistake, and forget about this matter. Otherwise, even if you win, you will be the Minister of War The location, I'm afraid there is no good fruit for you!"
"That's right, you are also stupid. If you really bet with His Majesty, you thought it was the time when you fought against the world!"
Cheng Yaojin and the others advised Li Daliang one after another, but Li Daliang stubbornly shook his head, "Why, it's not me who provoked His Majesty, but His Majesty himself insisted on betting with me, and I was right!"
"Besides, it was His Majesty who said that if you lose the bet, you can give me the position of Secretary of the Ministry of War. I didn't take the initiative to ask for it. I admit my mistake about the city wall, but His Majesty's own matter. Why do you want me to admit my mistake? No!"
Li Daliang's words made Hou Junji in the back of the crowd so angry that he was about to jump his feet. If he didn't know that the city wall had been repaired, he would definitely have to reason with Li Daliang.
But seeing Li Daliang's haughty look, Hou Junji quickly laughed sullenly again, this idiot didn't know that he had lost the bet, he really thought he could win!I'll see what your expression looks like later!
"Your Majesty, Li Daliang and the others are here!" Fang Xuanling reminded Li Shimin when he saw Li Daliang and others.
Li Shimin smiled faintly, turned around, and walked towards the city wall.
Li Daliang and the others who came over were originally about to salute Li Shimin, but they saw Li Shimin leave straight away. Monks Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, but they followed Li Shimin's direction to the city wall, and were shocked to find that the damaged city wall had been repaired !
"This, how is this possible? What about the damaged city wall? It was really repaired? How is this possible!"
"I'll go, such a long section of damaged city wall was repaired in one night, what a joke!"
"Your Majesty really did it, in one night, my God, what kind of fairy trick is this?"
Li Daliang, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others wiped their eyes one after another, all stunned by the scene in front of them.
Changsun Wuji came in front of all the ministers, laughed loudly and said, "Well, you look stupid, hurry up, Your Majesty has been waiting for you all night!"
"What?" Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, the officials were even more shocked.
According to Changsun Wuji's words, the repair of such a long section of the city wall took only a day and a night. How is this possible?No one can imagine how this is done.
Li Daliang was a little annoyed, and quickly ran towards the city wall. He wanted to see clearly whether the city wall had been repaired or not.
When everyone came to the city wall and looked at the intact city wall, if there were not obvious repair marks on the two sides of the city wall, everyone would have thought that this section of the city wall had never collapsed at all.
The ministers came to Li Shimin and knelt down to salute. Li Shimin waved his hand casually, "Get up, Li Daliang, do you see what I promised you, but I have already done it!"
Of course Li Daliang saw it, but he still had some doubts, "Your Majesty, this city wall was really built in one day and one night, so it's not like the kind that can be pushed down..."
"Li Daliang, open your eyes to see clearly!" Fang Xuanling snapped, "You are also the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, come here and try it yourself, you will know, question your Majesty, do you know what this is?" guilty?"
Li Shimin waved his hands, with a nonchalant expression on his face, "Li Daliang, I can tell you that this section of the city wall is currently the most reliable in Chang'an City. You can inspect it casually, and I have enough time to wait for you!"
Li Daliang was shocked, at this moment Changsun Wuji whispered something to him, Li Daliang's expression changed instantly.
"Cement? Red bricks? What are those things? The city wall can be built in one night, and it is stronger than the surrounding walls? How is this possible!"
Li Shimin sneered, and waved at the guard beside him, who immediately came over with a hammer in hand.
"I specially prepared this hammer for you, try it quickly." Li Shimin waved his hand.
Li Daliang took the sledgehammer, tried the weight, and his face became dignified. He is a military commander, so he can feel it naturally. Li Shimin gave himself this heavy hammer, which is full of weight. There is absolutely no intention to make things difficult own meaning.
"Your Majesty, that minister will not be polite." Li Daliang said to Li Shimin solemnly, holding a hammer in one hand.
"Just try, I'm waiting for you!" Li Shimin laughed leisurely, looking like he was enjoying the show.
Seeing this, Li Daliang stopped being polite, picked up the sledgehammer, and smashed it hard on the city wall made of red brick and cement.
"Ding..." There was only a sound of metal and iron clashing, and the hammer in Li Daliang's hand rebounded high, and everyone's expressions changed suddenly when they saw this.
Others don't know how strong Li Daliang is, but Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde both know it. This hammer has a force of at least a hundred catties.
But apart from the sound of gold and iron clashing, and the shock of everyone's feet, the city wall remained motionless.
