Chapter 159: Gift-giving
Got the note of the Son of Heaven, His Royal Highness the King of Wei worked in the Ministry of War, and naturally copied it unimpeded, the two squires of the Ministry of War nodded happily, and promised to buy spirits for the border army in the north first, and after everything was negotiated, the two squires respectfully sent His Royal Highness King Wei out of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
After His Royal Highness King Wei left, Xie Jun, the left attendant of the military department, and Chen Zhong, the right attendant, glanced at each other, and they were a little helpless to each other.
The two of them are officials of the Ministry of War, but His Royal Highness the King of Qi was sealed to the Ministry of War as a scholar, which means that no matter whether these two people are willing or not, they will be more or less labeled as the King of Qi and his party, and now the Seventh Prince has got His Majesty's note, which makes them more or less worried in their hearts.
The two waiters turned around and went back to the lobby of the military headquarters, and at this time, a young man who was not very tall walked out from the back of the lobby, and the young man was sitting on the main seat in the lobby of the military headquarters, and was slowly sipping tea.
Xie Jun, the left waiter, bent down slightly, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince is gone." β
Qi Wang Ji Huan stretched out his hand and said softly: "Take a look at the strip he brought." β
Xie Jun lowered his head, took out the slip from Changle Palace from his sleeve, and handed it to the four princes, who spread it out and looked at it, only to see that there were only a few words written on it.
"The king of Wei and the country contribute, don't be embarrassed by the military department."
These words are written by the Son of Heaven in Chengde, the pen is vigorous, most of the important ministers in the court can recognize the handwriting, Xie Jun Chen Zhong as a three-grade waiter, naturally will not be unrecognized.
The fourth prince slowly closed the strip, handed it back to Xie Jun's hand, and said indifferently: "What is that wine that Lao Qi made out, even his father and emperor speak for him?" β
His Royal Highness King Qi frowned slightly: "Is it really as strange as he said?" β
Xie Shilang lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, this thing has not yet spread to the army, and we don't know what the situation is for a while, but since the Seventh Prince dares to alarm His Majesty, then this matter may not be fake, otherwise the Seventh Prince will not be able to afford the crime of bullying the king." β
Ji Huan narrowed his eyes.
"The ...... of the Sin of Deception"
After he muttered a few times, he looked up at Xie Jun and said in a quiet tone: "Lao Qi's wine, is it going to be sent to the north?" β
"Yes...... Prepare to send it to General Ye Ming. β
Xie Shilang's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness can't do stupid things, Your Majesty has been staring at this matter, don't dare to do anything, if you annoy Your Majesty, our entire military department will be unlucky......"
Ji Huan glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "These spirits are escorted by our military department?" β
Chen Zhong, the right attendant, nodded and said, "Military supplies have always been escorted by our people. β
His Royal Highness King Qi looked calm: "Can you adjust the bag?" β
Chen Zhong's face was also a little pale, he lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, you can do it, but the risk is too great, this thing that the Seventh Prince made, if it is really useful, then one day it will not be able to hide, if there is a problem with the escort of the Ministry of War, Your Majesty will definitely find out the head of the Ministry of War, and when the time comes, we will still be able to avoid the sin of bullying the king!" β
Chen Zhong bowed his head and persuaded: "Your Highness is now the most powerful in the court, and you must not make a mistake, let alone do the things of a gambler, and let others take advantage of it." β
The fourth prince frowned: "Do you want to let the seventh child be proud?" β
"Your Highness, you might as well start from the roots."
His Royal Highness King Qi frowned.
"Roots?"
Chen Zhong, the right attendant of the military department, lowered his head and said, "Xiaguan...... Cough...... I heard that a few jars of spirits were also produced in the proud building a few days ago, known as three cups of drunkenness, countless high-rollers in the wine market in the capital poured into the proud building, and the lower officials estimated that the spirits in the proud building and the seven princes made this are mostly a kind of ......"
His Royal Highness King Qi looked up at Chen Zhong, who was already close to the age of sixtieth, and smiled: "Chen Shilang should be strong and strong, go back and make up for it with some good things?" β
Chen Zhong's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood, the lower officials just heard about it...... It's just a rumor. β
Ji Huan stood up from his seat and said indifferently: "I know this matter alone, I can do what the military department should do, and I don't need to embarrass Lao Qi." β
As he spoke, he walked out of the yamen of the military headquarters.
Walking at the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the fourth prince squinted his eyes.
This proud building seems to be indeed the business of the seventh child......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the other side of the proud building, Zhu Rongjiu has made a great reputation, because after the notice was posted for three whole days, no one can carry three bowls without getting drunk, in fact, not only no one can drink three bowls, even people who drink a bowl without getting drunk are extremely rare, in three days, there is only one man from a military attachΓ©, after drinking a bowl, he did not fall.
On the fourth day, the notice was lifted by Cui Jiuniang, and the high-rollers in the capital were all saddened because they had no chance to sleep with the dress-picking girl.
However, at the same time, the reputation of Zhurong wine was also completely broken, and on the day the notice was unveiled, I don't know how many people opened their mouths to Cui Jiuniang to spend money to buy Zhurong wine, but Cui Jiuniang refused one by one according to Li Xin's words.
The next morning, Cui Jiuniang asked people to go to the princess's mansion and asked Li Xinguo to talk about it.
Regarding the matter of toasting the wine, Li Xin was still very concerned, and after he briefly arranged the affairs of the princess's mansion, he set off for the Deyi Building.
Under the qualification pavilion in the backyard of the proud building, Li Xin bent slightly to Cui Jiuniang.
"Sister Cui."
Cui Jiuniang got up and returned the salute: "It's really a shame to disturb Li Gongzi early in the morning." β
Li Xin smiled and said, "Sister Cui is polite, but what went wrong with the sale of wine?" β
Cui Jiuniang nodded lightly: "Yesterday, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital came forward to buy this kind of toasting wine, and I pushed a lot according to what you said, but some of them really couldn't shirk it, so I asked Li Gongzi to come over and discuss." β
During this time, His Royal Highness King Wei was busy in the imperial court, and he had no time to deal with the sale of wine by the people, and the affairs of the proud building were handed over to Li Xinzai, so now, Cui Jiuniang wanted to ask Li Xin.
Li Xin smiled: "No matter who it is, if you push it together, you just say no, no matter how powerful those nobles are, you can't let the proud building conjure up wine for them, right?" β
Cui Jiuniang smiled faintly: "Everyone else is okay, but there is someone who is really hard to refuse." β
Li Xin was surprised: "Who? β
Most of the high-level circles in the capital know whose business it is, and there are really not many people in the entire capital who can't afford to offend the Wei Wangfu.
Cui Jiuniang squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "It's Li Gongzi, you have to be the boss." β
Senior Lieutenant Li's eyes rolled: "Hou Jingde? β
Speaking of this, Li Xin shook his head.
The Hou family is just a general who does not enter the stream, and the proud building will not be offended.
Thinking of this, Li Xin blinked his eyes and asked, "Yulin Wei Zhonglang will Ye Xuan?" β
Cui Jiuniang nodded and said: "Actually, it's not that Ye Zhonglang is going to drink, the old man of the Ye family is a well-known good wine in the capital, and after the old man Ye heard the name of Zhurong wine, he specially asked his younger son to come over and ask for ......."
Chen Guogong Ye Sheng!
The first person in the Great Jin military, a legendary general in the era of Emperor Wu!
Li Xin squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to offend the respected Chen Guogong.
Senior Lieutenant Li sighed softly.
"It's been so long since I entered Yulinwei, and I haven't given a gift to Shangguan, so let's do it, tomorrow I will personally bring two jars of wine and go to the Ye family to visit Shangguan."
