Chapter 211: Infiltrating the Palace
"Who are you?"
Zhao Ji saw Chu Jianglou and Wan Yanxue in front of him, and his eyes suddenly sank.
"This is the important place where I and the forbidden army are in control and discussing the military aircraft, how dare you trespass without permission?!" Zhao Ji shouted in a low voice: "Come on, take down these two people!"
"Wait!"
Chu Jianglou saw that the guards called by Zhao Ji had already swarmed up, and shouted with an idea: "The minister is the uncle and brother of the king's commander, and this time it is the brother of the family who wants to promote the minister to be the commander of the capital, so he asked the minister to wait here."
"Really?" Zhao Ji frowned and asked in a low tone.
"I am willing to guarantee with my life."
Chu Jianglou knelt down on one knee, looked at Zhao Ji with his hands in fists, and said in a firm tone.
Zhao Ji looked at Chu Jianglou's expression, there was no dodging in his eyes, and his doubts were gradually dispelled, so he smiled and said, "Since you are Wang Aiqing's brother, you can sit down and have a drink with me."
Chu Jianglou arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After speaking, he stood up and served himself and Zhao Ji and Wan Yanxue three cups of tea.
"I don't know where you're from? How to call it? Zhao Ji put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "Where is Commander Wang now?"
"The minister's surname is Chu, his name is Chonglou, and he is from Cangzhou, Hebei." Chu Jianglou said with a smile: "As for the brother, the minister saw him just now, so he must have gone out to drink for His Majesty."
Zhao Ji was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Wang Aiqing has this intention, he is really a loyal minister, Chu Aiqing, I see that you are a talent, you are a pillar of talent, are you interested in going to the golden gun class in the palace to share my worries?"
Chu Jianglou glanced at Wan Yan Xue, and Wan Yan Xue sighed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the husband of the people's daughter is the only son in the family, and he came to borrow money from his cousin because the old man was seriously ill, and the second elder has not much time, and things are complicated in the golden gun class, and he can't care about the family, if he can't fulfill his filial piety, the two of us will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Who knew that as soon as Zhao Ji saw Yan Xue's face, he seemed to have lost his soul, so he sat there like a wood carving, and forgot to put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
After Yan Xue raised his hand and shook it in front of Zhao Ji for a long time, he gradually reacted.
"Smack!"
The fragments of the ceramic wine glass scattered on the ground, and Zhao Ji came back to his senses, but he still didn't speak for a long time.
"Your Majesty, how are you doing?" Chu Jianglou frowned, stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to call the imperial doctor over?"
"It's nothing, it's that your lady is too similar to my concubine." Zhao Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "For so many years, the two women I love the most have left me one after another, and this is ...... in my heart."
"That's it, let's not talk about it." Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "That's okay, since there is something in your family, I won't force it, and I hope Chu Aiqing will think about it more by herself."
Wan Yanxue sighed secretly in her heart, didn't say anything, just handed a handkerchief to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, but still took a handkerchief and wiped the tea stains on his clothes.
"Brother, you've been waiting for a long time, haha."
A hearty laugh had already entered the room with Wang Yu's heavy and powerful footsteps, and after a while, he had walked to Chu Jianglou with three altars of high-grade wine, shook it and smiled: "How is it, you ......?"
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, how are you here? Wang Yu's gaze swept over Zhao Ji's face on the side, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.
"This is the minister's brother, not an outsider, please don't blame Your Majesty!" Wang Yu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and explained in a low tone.
Zhao Ji smiled and helped Wang Yu, who looked dazed, up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I already know all these things, you don't have to take it to heart."
Although Wang Yu didn't know very well, he had to thank Jun En again and again, so he poured the best wine Jiuliangye he bought into the cups of the four people, and the four of them sifted the wine and drank it.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Ji said: "Wang Aiqing, how is the salary survey of the forbidden army that I asked you to be responsible for?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to solve." Wang Yu sighed, put down his wine glass and said: "The Central Forbidden Army and the forbidden troops stationed in various places, military salaries are secondary."
"The key is that the management of various localities has falsely reported the number of salaries, and the salary of the airspace is less than 30 percent!" Wang Yu sighed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, if the military system of the Great Song Dynasty is not reformed, the minister is worried about the ...... of the country's army."
"Okay, how can it be so exaggerated." Zhao Ji said impatiently: "I just told you to use all means, be sure to get this thing done, you can do it?!"
Wang Yu saw that Zhao Ji was still this cliché, neither ordering a strict investigation nor allocating funds, although he was troubled in his heart, he could only smile on his face, and promised to come down.
"Your Majesty, if you are willing to believe in the subordinates, the minister has some means to change this situation, I don't know what you think?" The corners of Chu Jianglou's mouth brought a hint of a smile, and he said indifferently.
Zhao Ji's eyes were shocked, and he said in a low voice: "Is this true?"
"Really, I know that the government of the Great Song Dynasty is complicated and the expenses are huge, so it is inevitable that the military salary will be in arrears, but the army is the foundation of the country and must not be ignored."
Chu Jianglou's tone gradually sank: "If Your Majesty promises me, it will be convenient for the palace to invite the envoy Wang and Gao Taiwei to come to the Qinglong Palace together tonight, and the minister will have a way to solve this military problem with the two of them without spending a tael of silver!"
"Okay, I'll do what you want!"
Zhao Ji was silent for a long time, patted the table and settled down, patted Chu Jianglou's shoulder with a smile and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, Chu Aiqing, as long as you work hard, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
Chu Jianglou laughed twice, but after a few words and a few modest words, everyone continued to drink.
After an hour, everyone dispersed, but Wang Yu was still drinking, Chu Jianglou couldn't persuade him, Wang Yu didn't care and said: "Brother, you don't know, this world is just a chaos when you are awake, and only when you are drunk is the way of Qingping world."
Chu Jianglou only listened to what he said vaguely, so he wanted to go out and find some sobering soup.
Zhao ...... Zhao Ji, you faint gentleman, you don't know the suffering of the people, don't ...... You don't deserve to be the lord of the world! ”
"High ...... Captain Gao, I'm ...... I have followed you for decades, and I have always only regarded you as the one who saves the common people, you ...... Why should you be the traitor, you are pushing my king into the pit of fire? ”
Listening to these voices coming from behind him, Chu Jianglou's body stopped suddenly.
For a moment, his soul seemed to be touched.
Smiling slightly, he still went out and found the sobering soup from the medical hall.
After Wang Yu woke up, he saw that it was getting late, and insisted that Chu Jianglou leave the room and live over, but Chu Jianglou couldn't refuse, so he had to go back to the inn with Wan Yanxue first.
The manager saw Chu Jianglou and whispered: "Official, I just saw that the store that Wang Puppet Army just opened was smashed by the people he used to bully all day long, do you know how that guy was so depressed that he opened a grocery store?"
Chu Jianglou just smiled: "The world is unpredictable, who can say for sure?"
After speaking, Chu Jianglou and the others retreated from the room, leaving twenty taels of gold, and went to Wang Yu's mansion.
"Official, you have given too much gold!" The shopkeeper shouted from behind.
"It's okay, it's just the cost of your table and chair damage." Chu Jiang said without replying.
