In the early morning of December 9, 139 New Calendar, Qingshi Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Maier didn't know about Teng Yuan's visit to Byron City, so the news of Teng Yuan's visit to Bluestone Palace startled him. He didn't even eat breakfast, so he went to meet Tengyuan. Teng Yuan said that he hadn't eaten yet, so Maier entertained him for breakfast by the way.

By the time the news reached Gray, the two had almost finished their breakfast. Gray and Tengyuan haven't seen each other for a long time, and Yunxin misses his brother very much, so the two hurriedly come to the restaurant to meet Tengyuan.

"I'm here to get wine." Tengyuan said to the two of them, "Your Majesty owes me hundreds of jars of wine, and I want to pay the bill!" ”

"Wine?" Yun Xin tilted his head suspiciously, "If it's just a few hundred jars of wine, let Maier send someone to send it, why bother my brother to get it himself?" ”

"You don't understand." Teng Yuan grinned, "These hundreds of jars of wine are not ordinary wine, they are a hundred years of Ira's old wine, there is no market, I don't worry about others handling it." ”

"A hundred years of Ira's old sake?"

Yun Xin's eyes lit up, she loved to drink. When Yun Xin was not married, he used wine as water on weekdays. You must know that Yun Xin was not yet fourteen years old at the time, and she was short, looking like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl holds the wine jar and drinks with a bold attitude, and the impact of this kind of scene on a man is quite large.

Gray first became interested in Yun Xin because he saw her drinking alone on the promenade, and after having a deep understanding of Yun Xin, he fell in love, and until now he still treats Yun Xin as a treasure, and only dares to protect it in his heart. After getting married, Yun Xin has restrained a lot in drinking, at least he won't drink wine as water, but he never leaves his hand every day, and he has to drink two sips if he has nothing to do.

Mel's strong alcohol resistance is not only due to genetic reasons, but also to family environment. Yun Xin, a mother, drinks every day, and makes wine herself, so her son will definitely taste it secretly out of curiosity. Yunxin is very strict with Mel in all aspects, but he is very lenient in drinking. She even said to Myer, "You can't grow up to be a drunken man like your father", so in Myer's values, getting drunk is a negative attribute, or even a sign of unproductiveness.

When Maier was very young, Yunxin gave him a lighter drink. Because of his genetics, Mel has been resistant to alcohol since he was a child, and light wine is no different from ordinary drinks for him. Every time Mel grew up, Yunxin switched to stronger wine, and by the time he was a teenager, he became, like his mother, unable to get drunk no matter how he did.

After Yunxin came to Byron City, Maier notified the purchasing department of the Bluestone Palace to buy a batch of good wine for Yunxin every week. Yun Xin said before that the money used by the royal family members is recorded in the public account, and she will spend money unhappily, mainly because of this. The king's mother drank several kilograms of wine every day, and it must have been bad for such a thing to get out.

Yun Xin loves to drink, and she loves to drink good wine, and the hundred-year-old wine in Mel's hand is very attractive to her. However, this batch of wine had already been promised to Tengyuan, so he didn't dare to tell Yun Xin about it, so as not to violate the agreement with Tengyuan.

The son hid the good wine from himself, and it was still a hundred years old, and Yun Xin was immediately unhappy. Tengyuan didn't have the slightest consciousness of saying the wrong thing, and he was still in front of Yun Xin. Gray knew that Tengyuan was making fun of Yunxin and Maier, so he directly exposed his purpose and asked him to give half of the wine to Yunxin.

"Half of it!"

Teng Yuan listened to Gray's words, and his eyes widened wider than the copper bell.

"I bought this wine in exchange for Spring Mountain Castle! Give her a hundred jars at most! ”

With more than 400 jars of wine in exchange for a big city with a population of more than 3 million, Teng Yuan was willing to give Yun Xin 100 jars, which showed that he still loved Yun Xin very much. Gray didn't buy it, and put on a rogue look.

"Don't pretend, I don't know you yet? You originally wanted to give up Chunshan City to Meier, but if you can't do it, I will ask him to return the city to you, and we will not sell this wine. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! It's boring for you to talk like that! ”

"It's not interesting for you to talk like that. My sister wants to drink good wine, and my brother should let others go. You, the eldest brother, only give half to your sister, I don't say you're stingy! ”

"Why are you still arguing? It's such a big person, can't you be more mature? ”

"Mature? Who of us is immature? You won't even give up three-quarters of the wine to your sister, and you're still talking to me about maturity? ”

"Hey! How did it become three-quarters in such a short time! Wasn't it half like that! ”

"That's half the way."

"I'm not going to fool you!"

"Shhhh Cunning and cunning! ”

"Who the hell is the cunning and cunning!"

Whether Gray and Maier talk about Tengyuan, or Tengyuan and Maier talk about Gray, they all give people the feeling that the relationship between the two is very harmonious, and they will definitely not blush when they get along. In fact, when these two people get along, they spend most of their time arguing and have very little time to live peacefully.

Yun Xin is Tengyuan's favorite sister, and she is also the contemporaneous who has the best relationship with him, and there is no one. Yun Xin is the only one of her generation who drinks as much as Teng Yuan, and when Yun Xin was eight years old, she began to drink with Teng Yuan, and the relationship between the two was very close.

Teng Yuan admires Gray, but that doesn't mean he will allow the old guy to pursue his young and lovely sister. In Gray's pursuit of Yunxin, Tengyuan did not hinder him. Gray said that Teng Yuan can abuse himself completely, this conclusion is not speculation, but obtained after personal practice.

The reason why Tengyuan has been in Byron City for so long is not just to experience the customs here. In fact, he also wanted to come to Qingshi Palace early and stay with Yun Xin for a few more days. But in addition to Yun Xin in the Bluestone Palace, there is also Gray, and the two are destined to quarrel when they meet.

Tengyuan is much older than Gray, but the two look similar in appearance. When Gray pursued Yun Xin, Yun Xin always ran to Tengyuan to hide, looking like he had a good relationship with Tengyuan, and Gray was jealous because of this. And Teng Yuan always hinders him from pursuing Yun Xin, and often deliberately gets him drunk to make him ugly in front of Yun Xin. In order to take revenge on Tengyuan, Gray troubles Tengyuan at every chance and tries to make him make a fool of himself in front of Yunxin.

At that time, the two were wits and hostile to each other, but their relationship was not hostile. When Tengyuan needs help, Gray will step up, and when Gray needs help, Tengyuan will also come forward - of course, provided that it doesn't involve Yunxin, otherwise the two will have to pinch again.

Later, Gray won, and the two finally stopped being hostile to each other, but they still quarreled. At first, Yun Xin would patiently persuade her, but then she slapped her directly. Before Yunxin and Gray didn't go up the mountain to live in seclusion, their arguments usually ended with an extra palm print on their cheeks.

At such times, Yunxin will never pull the shelf. But the subject of this argument is the century-old Ira, and Yun Xin can't help but want to be on her husband's side. Teng Yuan was waiting for this moment, as long as Yun Xin opened his mouth, let alone three-quarters, even if he gave her all the wine, he was willing.

The younger sister asks for something, and the brother-in-law asks for something, and the treatment is completely different - Tengyuan wants to use practical actions to make Gray understand this, so as to show that his sister is actually closer to him.

The routines played by the previous generation are incomprehensible to Maier. At this time, he was still in shock and had not yet recovered. He never dreamed that Gray and Tengyuan would argue like a child after they met, and it took him a long time to erase the picture of Gray and Tengyuan getting along amicably, and accepted the reality with a wry smile.

Although Yun Xin wants wine, she still thinks about her brother very much. She only needed fifty jars of more than 400 jars of wine, and she wanted to pay Tengyuan. How could Teng Yuan ask for Yun Xin's money, he said that Yun Xin's "elder brother" was more precious than ten Chunshan cities, as long as Yun Xin sweetly called him "elder brother" like when he was a child, it was enough.

Maier on the side rolled her eyes as she listened. If his mother could earn back ten Chunshan Cities by just calling "Brother Elder", then he wouldn't have to work hard to conquer the world, and directly kneel down and beg Yun Xin to call Teng Yuan a few more "Brother Elder", and the new world would be in his pocket.

There were no outsiders in the dining room, and while Gray and Tengyuan were arguing, Maier let the guards, guards, and maids leave. Maier knew that he should avoid this kind of occasion, so he took advantage of the fact that the three of them were not paying attention, and quietly slipped away.

Whether Yun Xin called Teng Yuan's "elder brother" or not, Maier didn't know. But what is certain is that Yunxin will definitely not spare Maier's private collection of a hundred years of wine just because he received Tengyuan's fifty jars of wine. In order to make amends, Maier hurriedly called Tal and asked him to buy a hundred jars of good wine as soon as possible, and it would be better if it was more than thirty years old.

Tal went directly to the Ministry of Finance to withdraw a sum of money, found a few reliable guards, and asked them to buy wine for Maier. Myer's guards were trustworthy people who could not have embezzled public money. Tal believes that reliable guards are mainly people who are capable of doing things. Mel told Taal that these were future candidates for officials, to be sent to the army or to take charge of the local government.

The personal guards seem to be Meier's personal bodyguards, functionally equivalent to the guards of the Bluestone Palace and the soldiers of the King's Guard, but in fact they are not. The Guards were completely independent and were paid much higher than the Guards and the King's Guard. The selection of members of the Guards is extremely strict, loyalty and good character are necessary, and secondly, they must be brave, quick-witted, and knowledgeable, at least able to write new and old characters, and their numeracy and memory must not be bad.

The current Guards are completely different from the Guards when Maier first became a lord, the latter is just a hot-blooded young man who volunteered to serve Maier, and in a way, the latter is actually the predecessor of the Lord's Guard (that is, the King's Guard). After the formation of the Lord's Guard, Maier reorganized the Guards and raised the selection criteria. However, the selection criteria at that time were not so strict, as long as there was a certain combat effectiveness, quick response, literacy and arithmetic.

The Guards were reorganized again when the Battle of Yaolin City ended and Mel led his army back to Byrons City. While training in martial arts, Tal is also reorganizing the pro-guards. Since then, the selection criteria for the Pro-Guard have been raised again, but they are still not as stringent as they are now. The third reorganization of the pro-guard forces was after the end of the Korean War, and the selection criteria of the pro-guard corps were raised to the current level, and the nature of the pro-guard corps also underwent a fundamental change.

Keeping Mel safe and serving him is only one of the functions of the Guards. All members of the Pro-Guard are close associates of Mel, who will give them all sorts of work and develop their abilities. Members of the Guards were in constant contact with people from various departments, and sometimes even made patrols in place of Mel.

The original pro-guard team was basically a Leiting boy and an Ira boy, but now the pro-guard team has included all races in the country except for the Taeyong goblin. All eligible youths and teenagers can join the Guards, and if they are capable, they can be a little older. People who are too old (say over thirty-five) will be sent directly to the official school or the military academy, and will not be able to join the guard.

The pro-guard system is still in use today, producing a large number of loyal and capable young officials for the imperial family to ensure the imperial family's control over the military and the region.
