Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, I just couldn't resist the invitation of other officials, so I went to the Jiaofangsi several times. Read М"

"Jiaofangsi?" Zhao Xu suddenly realized that this was an institution in every state and county of Dasong.

Most of the people in it were the wives and daughters of convicted officials, and there were also selected female musicians. It was an institution under the government office.

It was responsible for entertaining officials on weekdays.

However, Jiaofangsi was not a brothel. The women in it were just accompanying wine, singing songs, and music.

"The welfare of officials in ancient times was high." Zhao Xu shook his head, but he still reminded, "You can have leisure and entertainment, but don't forget your duties."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu was sweating.

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

"Tianxiang Tower." Zhao Xu silently said a sentence. Since the last meeting, Tianxiang Tower has been silent, and he doesn't know what they are doing.

It seems that Xu Ke and others have to monitor Yan County as soon as possible.

Otherwise, although he is the lord of Yan County, he is like walking in the dark.

…

Fanyang, Yuan Family Mansion.

Yuan Li looked very unhappy after reading the letter in his hand.

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

After saying that, he tore the letter into pieces and threw it on the ground.

Next to Yuan Li stood a scholar, who was the man who had been drinking with Zhang Rang in Tianxiang Tower.

His name was Guo Tu, and he was a counselor under Yuan Li.

Looking at the scraps of paper on the ground, Guo Tu gently shook his paper fan and said, “According to Zhang Kang, Mo Di went to Yan County to ask for medicine, but this little thing doesn’t require Mo Di to go out in person. After all, it’s to find out the truth about the King of Yan and use him for his own benefit.”

“Well, that’s true. I didn’t expect that a crazy and stupid prince would become a big problem in Yan County today. It really annoys me.” Yuan Li sat down on the chair, “You say, was the King of Yan deliberately sent to Yan County by the emperor? In fact, he is not stupid at all?”

“As you said, it’s really suspicious, but pretending to be stupid for three years seems impossible.” Guo Tu frowned. "But no matter what, we can't let the King of Yan become too powerful. Zhang Kangxin said that the King of Yan is forging armor and weapons to equip his personal army. Although these 20,000 are not many, they are very dangerous in critical situations." Yuan Li nodded and asked, "What do you think should be done?" Guo Tu thought for a while, "This time when Mo Di goes to Yan County, you can submit a memorial to impeach Mo Di for privately contacting the vassal king. There are many people in the court who don't like Mo Di and will definitely criticize Mo Di. If you can transfer him from Yanguan, it will be beneficial to you. If not, it may also cause criticism from the capital." "Of course, this memorial is inevitable, but the King of Yan is right under our noses, what should we do?" Yuan Li frowned. Guo Tu smiled grimly, "I have an idea. We can send people to the north to spread the news to the Beidi people that the King of Yan has recently brewed fine wine and made a lot of money. The palace has two million silver coins. The Beidi people have tasted the fine wine we sent, so they will definitely not doubt it. They will definitely take good care of Yan County during this autumn hunt." Yuan Li laughed when he heard this. At this time every year, his Yuan family would be ordered to encircle and suppress the Beidi cavalry that entered Yanzhou. This year is the same. When the Beidi cavalry plunders Yan County, it would be best to kill the King of Yan, and then he will send troops to solve the problem of the King of Yan. Guo Tu also laughed, and he continued, "But in order to ensure the success of this matter, we need to borrow someone's hand." "Who?" "Zhang Kang." Guo Tu said. Yuan Li nodded slowly, "I will send a letter to him and let him act on it. By the way, I will send a memorial to the capital." ... Jinling. The reputation of Yan County Business has spread to every corner of Jinling City in just half a month. Everyone knows that Yanjun Merchants has the ability to make ice, and this attracts more people to buy ice.

However, in the past two days, the arrival of another Yanjun product has overshadowed the reputation of ice.

This is the fine wine from Yanjun.

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

Six young men sat around the table, and three of them looked at the wine jar in the middle.

The young man in the middle stood, his eyebrows flying, "Do you know where this jar of wine came from?"

The other five shook their heads.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, this is the fine wine from Yanjun - Shilixiang." The young man raised his head with a proud look.

"What, this is the legendary Shilixiang?" The other five were shocked.

A young man said, "Brother Wang, it's amazing. It is said that it is hard to find a jar of Shilixiang in the capital now. It is impossible to buy it unless you are a noble family."

"That's right, it is said that the Duke of Ying and the Duke of Chang on Jinmen Street even fought over wine. It was just for the sake of grabbing wine."

The young man who took the wine was even more proud, "So, you are blessed to be able to drink it today."

After saying that, he opened the wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine immediately spread in the restaurant, attracting the attention of countless restaurant guests.

Especially those who love wine, their Adam's apples kept rolling.

"Try it, try it." The young man only poured a little into each person's cup and put the wine jar away.

The other five people saw it and immediately showed contempt.

"Brother Wang, this is not enough for a mouthful." Someone complained.

The young man sneered, "Do you still want to drink such precious wine? It's good enough for you to taste it."

The five people had no choice but to pick up the cup and sip it, and then the praises continued.

Liang Mansion

Liang Cheng looked at the boxes of Yanmeng wine, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked at Guan Zhong with more and more favor.

These days, the most popular thing in Jinling is the fine wine from Yan County.

The most important thing is that money may not be able to buy it.

"Our family likes the pleasure of King Yan. If you have anything to do this time, let us help." Liang Cheng lowered his head and smelled the aroma of the wine, looking intoxicated.

For people who hang out in the capital, who is not a drunkard?

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 that the ten-mile incense suddenly appeared, its reputation spread, and anyone who didn't have ten-mile incense would be embarrassed to hold a banquet.

"These are filial piety to the chief steward, but these are the filial piety of His Highness to the emperor. I hope the chief steward will be accommodating." Guan Zhong said.

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

Because without making friends with Liang Cheng, it would be difficult to enter the palace to see the emperor.

After all, Liang Cheng was a close official of Emperor Dasong, and everything big and small had to go through Liang Cheng before reaching the emperor.

Therefore, King Yan asked him to go to Liang Mansion first.

Now that the palace has had some contact with Liang Cheng, he followed the wishes of King Yan and decided to further contact with the current majesty.

Liang Cheng is also a good person, and he knows the meaning of managing the seeds when he hears the words.

He nodded, "Well, you go back and wait for the letter. We will have to wait until we are on duty tomorrow to tell you about this matter."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Manager." Guan Zhong thanked him and then left the Liang Mansion.

The next day.

Liang Cheng went to the palace early in the morning and after the morning court, Liang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, there is something interesting happening in Jinling City recently."

"What's the interesting story? Tell me." Zhao Heng looked interested.

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

"That's nonsense." Zhao Heng was no longer interested after hearing this.

Liang Cheng laughed, "I know that the emperor doesn't believe it, but I have tasted it myself. It is indeed unusual."

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

"Is this really happening?"

"It's true that this wine was brewed by King Yan. Now the capital is going crazy, and some officials and nobles are even fighting over it." Liang Cheng was careful.

Zhao Heng's expression suddenly froze. There was an interesting story in the capital some time ago.

After checking, I didn't expect that King Yan's Chamber of Commerce was making ice in the capital.

Now I didn't expect another interesting story to come out, still about King Yan.

"King Yan." Zhao Heng's heart moved. During this period, the name he heard the most was the name of the ninth son.

"Although His Royal Highness the King of Yan is in Yan County, he has not forgotten his filial piety to the Emperor. He sent thousands of jars of wine over. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to allow his slaves to enter the palace." Liang Cheng probed.

Zhao Heng was silent for a while, seemed to have figured something out, and said: "Let him come in."
