Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 65

[Chapter 65]

“Your Highness, I just can’t resist the invitations of other officials, and I have been to the Jiaofang Division several times.”

“Jiaofang Division?” Zhao Xu was stunned. mechanism.

Most of the people inside were the wives and daughters of the convicted officials, and there were also selected female singers who belonged to institutions under the government.

On weekdays, he is responsible for entertaining officials.

But Jiaofangsi is not a brothel, the women in it are just drinking, singing, and making music.

“The welfare of officials in ancient times was high.” Zhao Xu shook his head, but he still reminded, “Entertainment is fine, but don’t forget your duty.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Fu broke into a cold sweat.

Zhao Xu listened carefully again, and the sound of the piano gradually disappeared.

“Tianxiang Tower.” Zhao Xu read silently, since the last time they met, there has been no movement in Tianxiang Tower, and they don’t know what they are doing.

It seems that Tsui Hark and the others have to monitor Yan County as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even though he is the Lord of Yan County, it would be like walking in the dark.

…

Fan Yang, the residence of the Yuan family.

After Yuan Li read the letter in his hand, his expression was extremely ugly.

“This old man Mo Di actually went to Yan County.”

After finishing speaking, he tore the letter into pieces and threw it on the ground.

Standing beside Yuan Li was a scribe, who was the man who once drank with Zhang Rang in Tianxiang Tower.

His name is Guo Tu, and he is a counselor under Yuan Li’s account.

Looking at the confetti on the ground, Guo Tu lightly shook the paper fan and said, “According to what Zhang Kang said, Mo Di went to Yan County to ask for medicine. King Yan’s falsehood is just to be used for his own use.”

“Well, that’s true. I didn’t expect a crazy and stupid prince to become a major problem in Yan County today. It really annoys me.” Yuan Li sat down on a chair, “Tell me, is this King Yan sent by the emperor to Yan County on purpose?” Jun, is he not stupid at all?”

“As your lord said, it’s really doubtful, but it seems impossible to pretend to be stupid for three years.” Guo Tu frowned. “But no matter what, King Yan can’t be allowed to sit still. Zhang Kangxin said that King Yan is forging armor and weapons to equip the army. Although the 20,000 yuan is not much, it is also very dangerous in an emergency.”

Yuan Li nodded and asked . “In your opinion, what should we do?”

Guo Tu thought for a while, “Now that Mo Di is going to Yan County, my lord can make a statement to impeach Mo Di for contacting the vassal king without permission. If you can transfer him away from Yanguan, it will be beneficial to your lord, if not, you may also attract criticism from the capital.”

“It is inevitable that this book will be published, but the King of Yan is just around the corner Next, what should we do?” Yuan Li frowned.

Guo Tu smiled grimly, “I have an idea. You can send people to the north to spread the good wine that King Yan recently brewed to the Beidi people. It has benefited a lot. The palace has two million silver. The Beidi people have tasted the wine we sent. Those who have good wine will definitely not doubt that Qiushou will definitely take good care of Yan Jun this time.”

Yuan Li laughed loudly when he heard this.

Every year at this time, his Yuan family will be ordered to encircle and suppress the Beidi cavalry who entered Yanzhou.

The same is true this year.

At that time, when the Beidi cavalry ransacked Yan County, it would be best to kill King Yan, and then he would send troops there, and then the matter of King Yan would be settled.

Guo Tu also laughed, and he continued: “However, in order to ensure the success of this matter, we need someone to help.”

“Who?”

“Zhang Kang.” Guo Tu said.

Yuan Li nodded slowly, “I’m going to write a letter right now, so that he can adapt to the situation and take a booklet to go to the capital by the way.”

…

Jinling.

The reputation of Yan County Trading Company has spread to every corner of Jinling City in just half a month.

Everyone knows that Yan County Commercial Bank has the ability to make ice, and this has attracted more people to come to buy ice.

In just these two days, the arrival of another item from Yan County overshadowed the reputation of ice cubes.

This is the fine wine from Yan County.

At this moment, in the restaurant in the center of Jinling City.

Six young princes sat around the table, and all three looked at the wine jar in the middle.

The young master in the middle stood, his eyebrows beaming, “Do you know the origin of this jar of wine?”

The other five people all shook their heads.

“I’m not afraid to tell you, this is the fine wine from Yan County—Shilixiang.” The young master raised his head with a look of pride.

“What is this the legendary ten lixiang?” The other five people were shocked.

A young man said: “Brother Wang, it’s amazing. It is said that ten lixiang is hard to find in the capital now. It is impossible to buy it unless it is a noble family.”

“Yes, yes, it is said that the British prince on Jinmen Street He and Chang Guogong even got into a fight over wine, just to grab the wine.”

The young man holding the wine was even more proud, “So, you are lucky if you can drink it today.”

After speaking, he opened the wine jar, A strong aroma of wine immediately spread in the restaurant, attracting the attention of countless restaurant guests.

Especially those who drink well, the Adam’s apple keeps rolling.

“Taste, taste.” The young master poured only a little into everyone’s cups and put away the wine jar.

The other five people immediately showed contemptuous expressions when they saw it.

“Brother Wang, this is not enough for one bite.” Someone complained.

The young man sneered, “Do you still want to drink such a precious wine? It will taste good if you try it.” The

five of them had no choice but to take a sip from their cups, and then the praise continued to ring out.

Liang Mansion.

Liang Cheng looked at the boxes of Yanmeng wine, his eyes narrowed, and the way he looked at Guan Zhong became more pleasing to the eye.

In the past few days, the hottest thing in Jinling is the fine wine from Yan County.

Most importantly, money may not be able to buy it.

“Our family likes King Yan’s kindness. He asked our family to help if there is anything else this time.” Liang Cheng lowered his head and sniffed the wine with an intoxicated expression.

For those who have been in the capital, who is not happy without wine?

If there is no wine at the banquet, is it still called a banquet?

Therefore, the capital consumes a huge amount of fine wine every year.

Now this ten-mile incense suddenly came, and the reputation spread, and anyone who didn’t have ten-mile incense would be ashamed to hold a banquet.

“These honor the Chief, but these are His Highness’s honor to the Emperor, I hope the Chief will be more flexible.” Guan Zhong said.

When he first came to the palace, his goal was to make friends with Liang Cheng.

Because he didn’t make friends with Liang Cheng, it was difficult to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

After all, Liang Cheng was a close minister in front of the Emperor Dasong, and he had to go through Liang Cheng before he could get to the emperor.

That’s why King Yan asked him to go to the Liang Mansion first.

Now that Wang Fu had some contact with Liang Cheng, he decided to further contact His Majesty according to King Yan’s wishes.

Liang Cheng is also a fine person, and he knows what it means to be in control when he hears it.

He nodded, “Well, you go back and wait for the letter. This matter will have to wait for our family to be on duty tomorrow, so I can tell you about it.”

“Then thank you, Mr. Manager.” Guan Zhong thanked him, and then left the Liang Mansion.

next day.

Liang Cheng went to the palace early in the morning, and after the morning court, Liang Cheng said, “Your Majesty, there is an interesting incident in Jinling City recently.”

“What interesting incident? Let me tell you about it.” Zhao Heng showed interest.

“Everyone says that there is a kind of fine wine that is better than the royal wine in the palace.” Liang Chengdao.

“It’s just nonsense.” Zhao Heng was no longer interested when he heard the words.

Liang Cheng laughed, “I know the emperor doesn’t believe it, but I have tasted it myself, and it is indeed unusual.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Heng had to believe it, because Liang Cheng would not lie to him.

“It’s true?”

“It’s true. King Yan brewed this wine. Now the capital is robbed like crazy, and some officials are even fighting because of it.” Liang Cheng was cautious.

Zhao Heng’s expression suddenly froze. Some time ago, there was an anecdote in the capital.

After a search, I didn’t expect that King Yan’s Chamber of Commerce made ice in the capital.

Unexpectedly, another anecdote came out, and it was still about King Yan.

“King Yan.” Zhao Heng’s heart skipped a beat. He had heard the name of the Nine Sons the most during this time.

“Although His Royal Highness King Yan is in Yan County, he has not forgotten his filial piety to the emperor. He sent someone to send thousands of altars of fine wine. I wonder if His Majesty wants to let his slaves into the palace.” Liang Cheng probed.

Zhao Heng was silent for a while, as if he had figured something out, he said, “Let him in.”
