Li Yi nodded convincingly: "The emperor has seen thousands of miles, and it is undoubtedly a very wise decision to attach Zhenxiong to Yunnan, and with the guidance of Yunnan's experience over the years, it is not very difficult for Zhenxiong Prefecture to get rid of poverty and become rich." ”

Liu Yan said happily: "Everything you have done in Yunnan, I can see it clearly, I used to just want you to go to Yunnan to avoid the limelight temporarily, but I didn't expect to let you show your true talent by mistake, and there are successors to the court, this is really very comforting!" ”

Li Yi didn't know how to answer, it happened that Guo Chongyue led the little eunuchs over, and immediately set up a square table in front of the soft couch, and set up the wine and dishes, just four small dishes such as cabbage and pig ears, dried shrimp and celery, assorted chicken, and begonia mushrooms, plus a big bowl of bergamot salmon soup, and the other two small bowls were the white fungus bird's nest lotus seed porridge that Liu Yan had just arranged for the imperial dining room to boil.

Liu Yan picked up the bird's nest porridge first, looked at the dishes in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't take these small dishes lightly, I usually eat like this." ”

"Huh! I heard that there is a businessman from Yunnan, Lin Qingliang, who opened a 'Shang Pin Xuan' restaurant in Qingyunfang. It is said that the 180 dishes inside are divided into nine dishes, all of which are rare delicacies. Although I haven't tasted it, I heard that it is full of customers and crowds, so it seems that it must be a rather distinctive restaurant. ”

"Hey, hey! If you have a chance, you will go over and taste it, and then you will go with me! ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "Don't dare to deceive the emperor, the old store of this restaurant is in Yunnan." The shopkeeper of Lin Qingliang Lin is the uncle of Lin Yi, the head of the Yunnan Xuanfu Embassy, so his subordinates often go to the banquet, and the wine and food there are indeed unusual! Hehe! When the emperor wants to go, his subordinates asked Lin Yi to inform his uncle, and when the time comes, all the restaurants will be cleared, which will be much more convenient. ”

Liu Yan shook his head and smiled: "There is no need to clear the field or anything." I heard that the rules of 'Shang Pin Xuan' are quite big, neither do you come to the door to buy a banquet for others, nor do you resolutely provide takeaway, and you are not allowed to take away leftover dishes. Hehe! It is said that the reason is that after leaving the 'Shang Pin Xuan' restaurant, the taste of the food is not authentic. ”

"Hmmm! The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, people are fearless! This is called confidence! Oh! Is that Lin Yi the new chief secretary of the Xingwang Mansion who was transferred to the capital with you? I know that he is your right-hand man, so I transferred him this time to save you from complaining that I am inconsiderate of your difficulties. ”

Li Yi laughed, although the emperor of the Han Dynasty said that there were countless people in the southern and northern wars, but he was still unpredictable in the calculations in the business field. The purpose of 'Shang Pin Xuan' is nothing more than to win people's attention and engage in a unique gimmick, and the existence of this sense of mystery can arouse people's curiosity, which is the trick of doing business.

Of course, the idea was made by himself, so how could he not understand the deep meaning! And he was able to transfer Lin Yi into Beijing with subtleties, which especially made Li Yi grateful to him.

Liu Yan beckoned Li Yi to finish drinking the bird's nest porridge, and then picked up the wine glass and said, "You haven't been drinking with me for a long time." I remember that when it was the second time that the kings were divided, Hong Gao and Hong Zheng were crowned kings for the first time, and they called you to celebrate, and I just had time to go over and have a look, and you also drank two glasses with me, which was your best performance in the wine field. ”

"Huh! Alas! Five years have passed in a blink of an eye, Hong Gao is already eighteen years old, and Hong Zheng is also thirteen years old this year! Most of my sons are good friends with you, and this is where I feel more at ease. Come! Have a drink with me! ”

Li Yi respectfully raised his glass and drank it, Liu Yan also drank it all, put down the wine glass and sighed: "Alas! I transferred you back this time, do you know how much effort it took? ”

Li Yi nodded silently and said: "Of course, your subordinates understand the emperor's good intentions, although your subordinates are foolish and dull, they will definitely live up to their grace and do their best to do their part." But if the emperor has any sending, his subordinates will never dare to slack off. ”

Liu Yan looked at Li Yi with a wry smile and said: "In the past few years in Yunnan, you have already known how to advance and retreat, you have been old and serious in doing things, and there is room for change in dealing with difficulties, which is indeed a great change!" I know this very well, which is why I thought of transferring you back to another important task. ”

"But I don't want you to offend too many people in the court back then, and there are few people who can speak for you, which really makes me embarrassed for a long time. This time, it is also an expedient measure that I have to come up with to let you work in the Hanlin Academy, and when the opportunity is ripe, I will eventually reuse you. Come! Now that you can come back, there's a chance that we'll drain this glass of wine. ”

Li Yi drank this glass of wine, but his heart was quite moved. Liu Yan's treatment of the champion Li Yi is indeed not an ordinary favor, although he has a reason for planning for his children and grandchildren, but it is more of an indescribable admiration, he regards the champion Li Yi as his own son, and maintains it everywhere and at all times, even if he has openly contradicted himself, he is still unwilling to punish him.

At this time, Li Yi suddenly figured out one thing, he assigned Zhong Xu to report his every move, and the meaning of monitoring and guarding should be insignificant.

The more direct reason should be that Liu Yan hopes to understand Li Yi's growth process in Yunnan, and also pays attention to Li Yi's safety and honor all the time, and expects Li Yi to change, which is a kind of fatherly care from his heart. Li Yi thought that he had found the softest part of his heart.

After Liu Yan and Li Yi drank another glass of wine, he suddenly said: "When you were in Yunnan, did you often exchange letters with Hong Chang?" ”

Li Yi was taken aback, and wanted to say no, but thinking of Liu Yan's unpredictable methods, he still replied honestly: "There have been about four or five times in the past few years!" Oh! Usually they greet each other, and nothing else. ”

Hearing Li Yi's false answer, Liu Yan laughed, he stared at Li Yi with deep meaning, and said for a while: "Hongchang, this kid is generous and benevolent, and he is quite popular, but he is hesitant to do things and has no courage to make a decision. With you on the side to guide him, I think it will make him mature as soon as possible. You are a few months older than him, and you have much more experience than him, so you still have to associate with him more in the future. ”

Li Yi nodded in acquiescence, but Liu Yan continued: "I heard that you encountered some accidents on the way back, and someone tried to assassinate you, I don't know who did it?" It seems that you have offended a lot of people over the years! ”
