Chapter Fifty-Nine: Catch It All

"Brother Jikai, you don't know......" Wang Ren burped, "This Yang Tong is really hard, a bottle of poisonous wine went down, and he didn't die for a long time." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEveryone present was frightened, and some people said that he was the Son of Heaven, so he didn't die. My brother was a fool, and he immediately took off his belt, and strangled the little emperor to death in three or two strokes, and his neck was about to break. ”

"At the end of the day, he's just a teenager." Wang Mai sighed.

Pei Renji's father and son rebelled, and the result was the same as the Dugu family, they were betrayed, the matter was leaked, and Wang Shichong was decisively killed. The fire that day was caused by Pei's father and son's self-immolation.

Poor Yang Tong, who was only less than sixteen years old, was also involved. Wang Shiyun felt that the reason for the rebellion of the Pei family father and son was because the emperor was still alive, so he persuaded Wang Shichong to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer from future troubles, and also broke the minds of those who still had thoughts about the Sui Dynasty.

Wang Shichong listened to this and sent his nephew to do it. Yang Tong was hanged, and the way he died was exactly the same as his dead ghost grandfather Yang Guang.

"It's just that he is Yang Guang's grandson. Guess what Yang Tong said before he died? May the afterlife never be born in the house of the emperor. Alas......" Wang Ren said with some embarrassment, after all, the court had saluted this doll a few months ago, but now he saw him die.

"By the way, how did you Guozijian do with that debate?" Wang Ren asked.

"Almost," said Wang Mai, "I have come this time to ask Tang Wang for a favor." ”

"No problem, as long as this king can do it, he will definitely help." Wang Ren replied happily.

This Wang Wheat is now very famous in Luoyang, and he is frequently discussed in the court. The officials of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Taishi Prison all praised him, saying that this person was reliable, unlike the Confucian scholars of the previous Guozijian who did not know what to say, and he naturally had a bright face in front of Wang Shichong.

Not only that, this person is also very sensible, and privately gave himself 30% of the shares of the winery, and the monthly profit of thousands of yuan is the largest income of the palace. Therefore, he paid more attention to Wang Mai, and wanted to promote him several times, but he refused, which is good, after all, this person is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future.

"It's the first time I've taken on such a heavy responsibility, and many things are still unclear, so I want to invite my colleagues from the Imperial Observatory to Guozijian to avoid anything inappropriate." Wang Mai said.

"That's it." Wang Ren laughed loudly, "Tomorrow, you just have to hand over a fold at the court meeting, and give the rest to this king." What he said was categorical, just because the people of Yushitai were really not welcome, and even Wang Shichong was very annoying, and now that he has the opportunity to transfer these people to be clean for a few days, how can there be any reason not to allow it.

Sure enough, as soon as the next day, as soon as Guozijian's recital was handed over, Wang Shichong waved his hand, two doctors from Yushitai, two Zhongcheng, the prefect of the Third Academy, six servants of the Imperial History, and nine Imperial History, a total of twenty-two people, all of whom were sent to Guozijian to perform supervision tasks.

Wang Mai said in his heart that this is the best, and he will catch all of you guys who eat by mouth.

Under the court, twenty-two imperial historians who didn't know what the situation was were led to the Guozijian by Kong Yingda, Wang Mai and others. Only Lao Zheng is still calm, two days ago, Wang Wheat brought wine to visit him, and asked about the preferences of these imperial histories, and now he finally understands that this Wang Wheat is a spy.

Whether these people want to or not, in short, when the emperor speaks, he has to fulfill his duties, staring at them one by one, and preparing to do a big job. I didn't want to enter the Guozijian, turned left and right, and sat down in a pavilion by the lake, the pavilion was very large, and there were melons and fruits on the table.

Kong Yingda disdained to do this kind of flattering business, and found an excuse to leave early, leaving only Wang Mai as a companion.

Wang Mai didn't care about him, and saluted everyone: "Today's weather is extremely hot, so please rest here first, and how about introducing the general situation first?" ”

Su Liang and Zheng Ting, who were the leaders, glanced at each other, Su Liang saw that Zheng Ying had no opinion, looked at his sweaty subordinates again, and nodded: "That's fine." ”

"Come on, first serve cold soup to all the imperial historians to go to the summer." Wang Mai shouted outside the pavilion.

After a while, everyone present had an extra bowl in their hands. Everyone only felt that this bowl was cold to the hand, and they didn't know what was in the bowl in this hot summer.

When I opened it, it turned out to be fruit stuffing, and the fragrance of peaches poured into my nose with the rising cold. Su Liang nodded, he loved to eat peaches the most in his life, and when he scooped it with a porcelain spoon, there were still a lot of ice slags in the bowl, no wonder it was so cold, it was indeed a cold drink to dispel the heat. The ice slag melts in the mouth, and the sweetness of the peaches suddenly overflows the entire mouth, and after swallowing, there is a slight coolness in the abdomen, which is really very pleasant. Tilting his head, Du Zhongcheng next to him turned out to be different from himself, as if it was his favorite pear juice. I looked at a few people's bowls again, and found that the fruit brew in each person's bowl seemed to be tailor-made for them, and there were all kinds of fruits, and I knew a lot in my heart.

At this time, another servant brought a wooden basin for everyone, and in the wooden basin was cool ice water, and there was a piece of clean white silk in it, which was used for everyone to wipe their faces and dispel the heat.

Everyone blew the cool breeze brought by the lake, ate cool melons and fruits, and chatted casually, but before they knew it, it was noon.

Wang Mai had already asked someone to prepare a lunch for everyone to serve, and the lunch was also very particular, and the plate in front of everyone was his favorite dish. In order to avoid being said to be extravagant, all the dishes are home-cooked, and in order to publicize these imperial histories, Wang Mai has already done his homework.

After the tea and food were full, Wang Mai stood up again and saluted everyone: "There are a lot of empty houses in the country, why don't you go and rest for a while?" "Officials already have a lunch break, and the lunch break will be extended after the ambush.

Everyone naturally did not agree, the oldest of these imperial historians were in their sixties, and the youngest was also in their early forties, so naturally their energy was not as good as that of young people, Wang Mai said this, and they all felt a little tired, and they were led to rest in the pre-arranged room.

Wang Mai smiled slightly, these people have eaten so many sweets, the burden on the stomach and intestines will naturally increase, and the blood will also flow to the digestive organs, even if people who do not have the habit of taking a lunch break, they will be sleepy at this time.

Sure enough, two hours had passed, and by the time everyone had gathered, the sun was setting in the west. Everyone was a little anxious, they didn't even drink water, in the hot summer, the evaporation was large, at this time they wanted to drink a glass of water, but they didn't want Wang Mai to start working in a hurry.

Although it was already afternoon, the temperature still did not drop much, especially as soon as I left the pavilion, the temperature around me was even more unfriendly to everyone, occasionally blowing a little wind, it was also hot, and after a while, everyone who was still wearing court clothes was sweating and panting.

After finally seeing the venue, I thought I could rest for a while, but Wang Mai pulled them to a stop in front of a few rows of newly built double-storey shops at the foot of the dirt mountain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this place is a commercial area specially opened for this grand event." Wang Mai was also sweating profusely, but for his own plan, he had to fight, but fortunately, he had drunk enough water, but he was not thirsty.

"Business district?"

"It's a place that specializes in business services." Wang Mai explained, "It's like the West Market and the South Market. ”

"Guozijian is a place for teaching and educating people, how can businessmen be allowed to set foot here?" A very old imperial historian blew up the pot when he heard this, and asked Wang Mai loudly.

Everyone felt justified when they heard it, and it was just other places, it was really inappropriate for a businessman to appear in Guozijian.

"Listen to me first."

As soon as Wang Mai spoke, everyone quieted down, after all, they were comfortably entertained in the morning, and now they have to sell some face, and it is not too late to listen to how he explains before making trouble.

"These shops are all necessary for this event," said Wang Mai, "for example, the scholars and literati who come to participate in the event must remember a sentence or two, and some people will forget to bring pen, ink and paper just to provide convenience for everyone." ”

"That's right." Everyone felt that this king wheat was reasonable.

"As for restaurants, you don't need to say more, do you?"

There was silence, and no one objected.

"And this printing shop...... This is a folding fan shop...... It's a cloakshop, what do you ask? …… What is a cloakstore used for? The people who participated in this event were all literati, and if the clothes were damaged, it would be indecent, wouldn't it? …… It's a jade shop......"

"Wait," Su Liang pointed to the jade shop with one hand covering the sun and the other, "Forget about the other shops, why is this jade shop necessary?" ”

"This ......" Wang Mai thought that after an hour, these people were tired and could get through the test, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the harsh Su Liang.

"Nothing to say, Assistant Teacher Wang." There was obviously a threat in Su Liang's words. I've heard Lao Zheng say that this kid is a ghost and a goblin, and today it seems that this is indeed the case, if you want to play tricks in front of the old man, you are still too tender.

"Why is there a jade shop?" Wang Mai's eyes rolled, "What is jade?" A gentleman's vessel, wearing jade, is really an elegant thing, what do you think? ”

"That's reasonable......" Su Liang didn't expect everyone to unanimously agree with Wang Mai's words. He didn't know what it meant to be accustomed to nature, and since the shops in front of him had proper reasons for existence, he wasn't afraid of another jade shop.

"Wait." The old Yushi, who spoke out for the first time just now, spoke again.

"What do you teach?" Wang Mai asked helplessly.

"Although these shops have their own reasons for existence, but ......" Old Yushi pointed to the ground, "This place is the Guozijian, Assistant Teacher Wang just stated the reason for the existence of the shop, but did not answer the initial question. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this Wang Maiguang had taken everyone around the bend, although this shop was necessary, but the legitimacy was questionable.
