Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tea Is Like Its People
The ever-bright candle flame in the vertical arch hall, which often lasts all night, proves that Zhao Lao Er was a very diligent emperor. After correcting the chapter all night, physically and mentally tired, Zhao Lao Er put down the Zhu Pi brush in his hand, gently rubbed his temples with both hands, and then picked up the teacup on the table and drank a sip of tea.
Since he discovered that drinking this tea can refresh his mind, he has completely liked this tea, and every time he stays up late to deal with government affairs, this tea has become a must-have, but unfortunately the yield of this tea is extremely low, so he has to use it sparingly. Because there is only one place where this tea is produced now, that is, Wenfu, and it is not for sale, just now this little tea, or Xiao Zhao robbed it from Wen.
I have to say that Wen is really not a qualified courtier in this regard, with this kind of wonderful product, the first thing others do must be to pay tribute to the emperor. After all, only by currying favor with the emperor can you rise to prominence and exchange for various benefits.
Smell it!
Instead of paying homage, it is still hidden, which is really reasonable!
Every time he thought of this, while Zhao Lao Er was angry, he actually had a trace of relief in his heart, this complicated mood made him smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty, what do you remember?" Seeing that Zhao Lao Er was stunned with a teacup, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Wang Jien, the drug test attendant, asked out loud.
After staying with Zhao Lao Er for a long time, he is naturally familiar with his temperament, and when the emperor corrects the chapter, Wang Jien will never dare to disturb him, but as long as he is not dealing with government affairs, there is absolutely no problem with talking about digressions, and he can also change his thinking.
Hearing Wang Jien's inquiry, Zhao Lao Er, who came back to his senses, chuckled, shook his head slightly, and said: "Every time I drink tea, I can think of Wenjue, according to that kid's mixed nature, but he can develop such a fragrant and pleasant clear tea, I am a little surprised no matter how I think about it!" ”
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the little one is indeed surprised, the quality of this kind of tea, no matter how you look at it, is a little incompatible with Wen Jue's temperament. So could this tea have been developed by Wenjue's sage-like master? Wang Jien reminded with a smile.
"Well, yes, the idea is highly likely! I'm afraid that only a master like a saint can have the same mood and character as this tea. Zhao Lao Er nodded.
"Your Majesty is very true." Wang Jien flattered.
"You, what I said is very true, this is obviously what you said." Zhao Lao Er shook his head lightly and said.
"Your Majesty has praised it." Wang Jien Shili said with a smile.
"Now that we're talking about Lord Wen, what has that kid been doing lately?" Zhao Lao Er took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"This ......," Wang Jien said speechlessly.
"Why, you don't know?" Zhao Lao Er said with some displeasure.
The current Wude Division is the predecessor of the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course it will also take into account the gossip news of the Beijing Division and the movements of the civil and military officials, and then finally gather here to Wang Jien for the emperor to know the movements of the ministers and the common people at any time.
Now seeing that Wang Jien can't answer, then this is a dereliction of duty, and Zhao Lao Er is naturally a little displeased.
"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao is naturally clear about Wen Jue's whereabouts." Seeing that the emperor looked displeased, Wang Jien hurriedly clarified.
"Then come on." Zhao Lao Er commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes." Wang Jien responded, and then explained the truth of the matter clearly.
Zhao Lao Er was in a good mood just now, and after listening to Wang Jien's story, he was so angry that he almost threw out the teacup in his hand.
"You mean that bastard kid is now living in Baihualou, right?" Zhao Lao Er said angrily.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor was angry, Wang Jien hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
"What a bastard!" Zhao Lao Er clenched his fists, and there was a clicking sound at the joints.
"Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon's body." Seeing that the emperor was angry, Wang Jien hurriedly knelt down and comforted.
"Do you think I want to be angry? That bastard, it's not good to live in Baihualou when you have to, you have to do it now. I saw that he did it on purpose, didn't he know that Li Tang's envoy Zhou Zong had already lived in Honglu Temple? He's just trying to give me eye medicine! Zhao Lao Er said angrily.
"How dare Wen Jue be like this, according to the news of the secret spy, it is said that Wen Jue has no place to live in Beijing, so he moved to Baihualou to live temporarily." Seeing that Zhao Lao Er characterized Wen as a bully, Wang Jien hurriedly explained.
"It would be nice if that was the case, but that kid has bad water in his stomach, who knows what kind of calculation he is making." Zhao Lao Er calmed down and said.
"Another source said that Wen Jue ran away from home because of a woman in the mansion." Wang Jien thought for a while and said.
"Running away from home? Another woman? Zhao Lao Er said in surprise.
"It's the show girl who escaped the draft in the previous dynasty, and the woman who lives in Wenfu now, her name is Mei Yiqi, and now her grandfather from her hometown has come to Wenfu. According to the news found by the secret spy, it was said that it was the woman's grandfather who intended to marry the woman to Wen Jue, so Wen Jue had not returned home for several days, and there was nowhere else to go, so he lived in Baihualou. Wang Jien explained.
"Hmph, he's interested." Zhao Lao Er snorted lightly.
"Judging from the small, Wen Jue would never dare to take the liberty of marrying that woman, and living in Baihualou must have been a last resort." Wang Jien said.
"As a last resort? I see that he is happy to be true, so many inns do not live, why do you have to live in Baihualou? Zhao Lao Er snorted.
"Actually, Your Majesty, even if Lord Wen lives in the Hundred Flowers Building, he will not do anything indecent." Wang Jien said hey.
"Hmph, I don't believe in that kid's character." Zhao Lao Er said with disdain.
"But Your Majesty, there is also Princess Fengyi who lives in Baihualou together, presumably with Princess Fengyi, and Wenjue can only live." Wang Jien said with a smile.
Hearing that Tan Fengyi was following, Zhao Lao Er grinned and said, "....... Well, but you have to pay attention to your words in the future, Feng Yi doesn't have a princess title yet, so don't call it indiscriminately. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that Zhao Laoer's anger eased slightly, Wang Jien breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, wiped his sweaty forehead with the sleeves of his robe without a trace, and muttered in his heart: Wen Jue! Wen Jue! This time, my old king can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and he didn't accept your big ingots in vain!
"But even so, if that kid continues to live in Baihualou like this, how can I explain to Li Tang's envoy. Now pass on my will, and immediately let Wen Jue move out of Baihualou and choose another place to live. Zhao Lao Er snorted.
"No." Wang Jien responded, thought for a while, and reminded: "But Your Majesty, if Wenjue has been living in the inn, then his safety cannot be guaranteed." ”
The meaning of Wang Jien's words, of course Zhao Lao Er understands, although Wen is not in a high position, but he has a heavy secret, once he is calculated by someone with a heart, it will be a huge loss for the country, Zhao Lao Er thought for a while and said: "Then among the Beijing teachers, find a suitable house for that kid and reward him, so as not to let that kid say that I am stingy." ”
"But Your Majesty, this reward mansion requires at least an official of the third rank or above, and Wen Jue is only sent from the fifth grade now, which is too bad, and will be gossiped about by the ministers of the court." Wang Jien grinned.
"Yes, then reward Feng Yi, presumably that kid will definitely live in it." Zhao Lao Er said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Jien said with a smile.
