Lu Zhen smiled coldly and said, "It is indeed the opinion put forward by the minister. But...... Act so. There are many ills. The slightest mistake can lead to chaos. The lord has just entered the East Palace, and Enwei is not trustworthy enough. If we attack the royal family and nobles entrenched in the Guannai now, we may cause some crises! After all, they are deeply rooted in the Guannei, and their protégés and former officials are all over the court. Just now, the lord also saw it, and the minister just said the idea of borrowing food from them. It immediately caused a riot. These people are the close confidants of those royal nobles. ”

Xiao Yunhe's eyes widened in confusion: "Since you already knew, why did you bring it up? Isn't this harming me?

Lu Yi was at a loss: "My lord...... Do you really don't know? The adult himself is a royal bloodline, how can he ......" Speaking of this, Lu Zhen suddenly woke up: No. He's teasing me, isn't he?

Xiao Yunhe laughed: "Mr. Lu, thank you for your kind reminder." I have my own way of requisitioning grain. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, only you dare to speak and dare to be, and really think about the court. This thing. We'll know when the time comes. Mr. Lu is relieved to boldly investigate Pei Yanling's corruption case!"

Lu Zhen looked at Xiao Yunhe's back in confusion. Shaking his head gently, he sighed: Above the court, there is going to be a serious incident...... The prince really has a very human mind and courage. The country of Daqi is about to undergo a drastic change that washes the muscles and marrow!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xiao Yunhe called Song Liangchen and those relatives and went straight to the outside of the national capital and went to Ma Sui's army. Personally check the situation of the military rations. It's not very optimistic. According to his orders, although there was not much food and grass in the army, they still did not reduce their diet one meal at a time. According to this calculation, it can support six or seven days at most.

Ma Sui was very worried and said, "My lord." These soldiers are born and die, and they are not afraid of anything. But. If you are human, you have to eat. If there is no food, no one can appease them or arouse their enthusiasm. Time is of the essence!"

"I know. Xiao Yunhe frowned lightly and said, "That's it." I still have some gold in the treasury, and I have a little money personally. Later, I asked Ju Wenzhen to take the money and buy some food in the national capital to send it to your barracks, so that those soldiers could rest at ease. Ma Sui was grateful, and said again and again: "Thank you, sir...... However, the treasury is at the bottom of the treasury, and adults have to pay for it privately, which is ...... It's too much to go. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly: "It's okay. Is it all for the sake of the overall situation of Daqi? Don't worry about the treasury and my side of the matter. You just have to train the soldiers in peace. After waiting for a few days, I want to ask you to personally lead 100,000 men and horses in your headquarters to move to the east of the town to defend Hedong and fight against Tian Yue and other three towns in Hebei. You have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders!"

Ma Sui was overjoyed, and clenched his fists heavily: "Just hand it over to the last general!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Yunhe nodded, cast an appreciative look at Ma Sui, and said, "With you, I'm relieved." ”

Ma Sui's heart was warm, and he said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Prince for trusting him!"

Xiao Yunhe pacified the soldiers in the barracks for a while before driving away. Song Liangchen was puzzled and said, "My lord, why did you come here and talk to Ma Sui, an old man." How does it sound like it's all!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "The more nonsense, the more indispensable it is, do you know? Ma Sui is not my old general's cronies." Now that we are facing a crisis, it is inevitable that there will be some doubts. First, I was afraid that I would favor other troops, and second, I was afraid that I would deprive him of military power. His doubts will have a direct impact on the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops. As I said, there is nothing more important now than the stability of people's hearts. Got it?"

Song Liangchen shook his head stunned: "I still don't understand." However, no matter what you do, it must be on the ground, hehe!"

Xiao Yunhe laughed.

"My lord, where should we go now?" Song Liangchen asked.

"Go back to the East Palace. Xiao Yunhe said, "We won't be going anywhere from today to tomorrow." sat in the East Palace, waiting for Lu Zhen and Li Jingluo to interrogate Pei Yanling. "In addition, Dugu Fan went to the Zhongnan Ancient Road to get gold, is he going to pick it up tonight!

Pei Yanling's case has already caused a sensation in the court. When he was the prime minister, he was thrown into prison by the prince with a hemp rope. It also had a great impact in the national capital. This means that the emperor has not yet abdicated, and the crown prince is cleaning up the people he left behind. Prime Minister, that's the emperor's closest minister!

Lu Zhen and Li Jingluo worked tirelessly against Pei Yanling in the Yushitai. Pei Yanling refused to die, and moved out of the emperor from time to time to press Lu and Li. After Xiao Yunhe heard the news, he was not in a hurry. He believed in the abilities of Lu Zhen and Li Jingluo. As long as you can find hard evidence. I'm not afraid that Pei Yanling won't confess. In addition, an important reason why Pei Yanling does not admit it now may be that he still has illusions about the emperor and wants the emperor to rescue him. Or, there are still many high-ranking officials and giants involved behind him. Even royal relatives. Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, Pei Yanling is also frightened now.

After dark, the Imperial City fell silent. Only Yushitai is still *** Tongming, saber rattling. Xiao Yunhe asked Song Liangchen to order a team of flying dragon riders and patrol the imperial city. The East Palace and the Taiji Palace were originally only separated by a wall, and it was very smooth to clear out a secluded road with no people. And then. Xiao Yunhe asked Song Liangchen to branch out the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Riders, leaving only a large area of uninhabited open space.

Lingyan Pavilion was quiet. Xiao Yunhe took the key and opened the door. And got in. Knock on the floor tiles. Quiet as usual. He lifted the floor, found the mechanism, opened the top cover, and dodged inside.

In the iron room, there were several torches. Dugu Fan and the others were all panting like cows, waiting there.

"Did you get it all?" Xiao Yunhe glanced around, and several large boxes with vermilion lacquer and thick boards were already placed there. It seems that they were dragged all the way with rolling logs. It must have taken a lot of effort.

"Eight boxes. A box is not less. Dugu Fan replied.

"Good. It's all hard work. For these hardcore dead soldiers, Xiao Yunhe has no reason to be suspicious. He pulled out a sharp blade and slashed the iron lock on the box. Pause. The yellow nuggets of gold emitted a dazzling light that almost stabbed people's eyeballs.

Xiao Yunhe picked up a few gold nuggets and said to everyone: "These are all things that belong to Daqi. Any of us. No one, including me, can hide a single point. Everyone has worked hard today. I'm not going to let everyone work in vain. Come, a gold brick per person, keep it for yourself and use it slowly. Later, I will use my own money to make up for these gold bricks. ”

Dugu Fan shook his head coldly: "I don't have to." To me, these things are no different from dirt. ”

The other soldiers also said: "I will follow the adults from birth to death, and we will long regard money as dung." Besides, the adults have always rewarded us very generously, even for two or three generations. This money belongs to the Great Qi Dynasty and is used by adults to revive Great Qi, and we can't ask for it. ”

"It's okay, take it!" Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but say, and each stuffed a gold brick for them. The soldiers had no choice but to accept it.

"Now, we're going to drag these boxes of gold to the top of the Lingyan Pavilion. Xiao Yunhe said, "It's too heavy, so I have to break it into pieces." In this case, pour out half of the gold in the chest first, so that it is possible to move it out directly. The rest of the remnants had to be wrapped in clothes and transported in boxes. I've got the car ready outside. You're going to have to be fast!"

"Yes!" these big men had just won a big prize, and now they were full of energy, and they were immediately busy. Xiao Yunhe walked out of the Lingyan Pavilion and personally took care of the wind outside. Song Liangchen led a team of guards to patrol the sentry from afar, and no idle people could approach this place, so it was very quiet.

At the end of the day, eight large boxes of gold were finally dragged out and loaded onto two sturdy carts. Everyone was already tired and panting, sweating profusely. Taking advantage of the fact that the time was still early and the sky was not bright, Xiao Yunhe hurriedly let these people carry the gold into the East Palace.

一qiē is very smooth lì. He breathed a sigh of relief himself. As long as he waited until dawn, he would let Song Liangchen take people and put the gold into the treasury. When the time comes, it will be logical -- this will be the prince using his private talents to fill the treasury! After all, the crown prince was also a warlord who dominated Xichuan and won great victories one after another. Not many people know how much money he really has. It's just that in the eyes of everyone, including the emperor and others, the crown prince is very wealthy.

In the early dynasty, Xiao Yunhe generously announced that he would give 40,000 taels of gold to fill the treasury. to solve the current crisis of military salaries and ministers' salaries. This move naturally shocked the four seats, and at the same time made everyone grateful. After all, who doesn't know that the treasury is now empty? This righteous act of the crown prince has also brought a good start. Many ministers and wealthy merchants in the capital also came to give money and goods. In addition, Li Mian has already started his activities, and some of the royal relatives who have opened their minds are not good at this time, so they have to donate money and food one after another.

The crown prince himself is responsible, and it is better to borrow grain from the royal family.

At the end of a day, the wealthy merchants and big families in the national capital, led by the Guo family and the Wu family, donated 100,000 yuan of silver and more than 7,000 stones of grain and grass. Although this amount of food is far from enough for the needs of an army of 200,000 (strange. Book. Net-whole. Reason. Raise. for). But this move undoubtedly set off a wave of enthusiasm in the national capital. Everyone is responsible for the national crisis, and the people in the market have also begun to contribute to the country one after another, donating money and materials.

Xiao Yunhe was really a little unexpected in this matter. The empty treasury and Taicang were filled up at a speed.

Shape shì delightful!

Xiao Yunhe fulfilled his promise and immediately distributed salaries to the 200,000 troops and Manchu courtiers. Moreover, let Ju Wenzhen take real money to the market to buy grain, and send a part of it to Ma Sui first. The merchants were pleasantly surprised to find that the current palace market not only gave cash, but also did not charge a low price. They were all very active in cooperating with the people in the palace and started trading.

However, in order to truly solve the problem of feeding the army, the food in the capital city is far from enough. Two days have passed, and Xiao Yunhe was anxiously waiting for Li Mian's side to hear the news.

At noon the next day, Li Mian, who had gone to Yongzhou, finally sent a fast horse to deliver the news. Overall, the results are pretty good. The royal family in the Guannai generally agreed to "lend" grain to the imperial court. Although it is somewhat different, they all express their attitudes. Li Mian made a preliminary count and collected a total of about 10,000 stone of grain.

"It's only 10,000 stones, where is this useful!" Xiao Yunhe said to Wu Yuanheng and Xue Cuncheng, "These imperial uncles and aunts of mine ...... It's really unkind to be rich!"

Wu Yuanheng took the slip in Xiao Yunhe's hand and looked at it, couldn't help laughing, and said, "King Jia's five hundred stones, King Shao's four hundred and fifty stones." It is also written that the interest will be calculated as 10%, and it seems that it has been negotiated. ”

These two old thieves! Xiao Yunhe secretly scolded angrily in his heart, saying that he was borrowing, and you still took it seriously? Such a little thing is also a loss to you because you are embarrassed to calculate interest with me! It seems that if you are not ruthlessly cured, you still don't know what the imperial court is for!

"Bocang, let's go to Yongzhou. Xiao Yunhe's face was a little unkind.

Wu Yuanheng didn't say much, and bowed: "Yes!"

"Pick up three thousand flying dragon riders and go together. Xiao Yunhe added in a heavy voice, but Xue Cuncheng on the side was startled. Xue Cuncheng said in a panic: "My lord...... Don't be rough with the royal family, right?"

"I'm sending someone to carry food!"

Wu Yuanheng smiled secretly and said to Xue Cuncheng: "Don't worry, Ziming." This kind of thing, adults naturally know in their hearts. ”

Three thousand flying dragon riders, surrounded by Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng, shook the national capital and went to Yongzhou.

Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng both know one thing in private, but they don't need to say it. King Jia and King Shao are the emperor's hardcore brothers, and they have always had no good impression of Li Mo. Now that Li Mo has squeezed Li Yu into the main East Palace, these two old guys must be angry in their hearts, but they just don't dare to say it. And so on. The two of them will become a big villain in the royal family, opposing the prince everywhere. Besides, these two princes occupied more than 50 percent of the land in Yongzhou Pass, and even controlled several public warehouses on the banks of the Dongdu River for private use, completely controlling the grain market in the area around the Dongdu. These two individuals are also a formidable obstacle to the implementation of land reform in the future.

Xiao Yunhe secretly sneered in his heart: Obviously you have a holiday with me. Occupying so much land and grain, and taking the initiative to sacrifice it to me at this time, you deserve to be unlucky! What about Uncle Huang? I have even restrained the emperor, and I can still be afraid of you two guys, which is really shameless!

All the way. The BMW, which is used to charging into battle, is extremely fast. In the evening, it has reached Yongzhou. More than 3,000 iron horsemen rushed together, which was enough to frighten the people along the way. Many people fled in all directions, not knowing what was happening.

The city gate of Yongzhou has been closed, and the generals guarding the city saw the team of black-clothed and ink-armored subway riders rushing over. Some were terrified. A young general at the head of the city asked, "Where are the soldiers and horses?!"

Wu Yuanheng shouted loudly with full of anger: "Now that the crown prince has arrived, he has not opened the city gate, so the assassin Shi will come to greet him in person!"

"Ahh Prince!" the defender climbed down the city and quickly opened the gates. There was already a kneeling at the gate of the city, shouting Chitose.

Xiao Yunhe, who was only wearing a white beard, rode into the city gate on horseback, and said to those soldiers: "Quickly pass on the history of assassination, come and see me!"

"Yes......" A few of the pawns ran quickly.

Xiao Yunhe raised his hand: "Enter the city!" Three thousand soldiers poured into the city like this. According to the rules, if there are no special circumstances. The soldiers and horses of Daqi must be stationed outside the city gate, and they are not allowed to enter the city and disturb the people. However, the Imperial City Imperial Rate is excluded. It is rare to take 3,000 men and horses out to patrol the land at one time. The city of Yongzhou suddenly boiled, and the people speculated about the prince's move, not knowing what had happened in Yongzhou.

Xiao Yunhe and the others walked a few steps into the city. The group in front of them ran over quickly, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the road: "Humble, lowly Yongzhou assassin Liu Dehai." Lead the officials and generals under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou to meet the prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"Heh, Liu Tingshi, don't come to harm, right?" Xiao Yunhe looked at the fat Liu Dehai and smiled, "If you say goodbye that day, you don't feel that there is a period." It seems that Liu Tingshi, the official, is quite nourishing and blessed. ”

"Trust, trust the prince Hongfu, the humble position is very good. Liu Dehai had cold sweat on his forehead, and he unconsciously flowed down. The scenes in Huayuan County that year appeared in front of his eyes. At that time, the king of Han, who was incarnated as a common man, suddenly appeared in Huayuan and almost scared him to death. And also...... Later, he caught that Wu Yuanheng......

Liu Dehai raised his head to look up with some doubts, and suddenly saw Wu Yuanheng sitting on horseback, and couldn't help but exclaim softly: "Ah?!"

Xiao Yunhe sneered: "This one, Liu Tingshi must have known him, so I don't need to introduce him, right?"

Liu Dehai's tongue was immediately knotted: "Yes, yes, I know, Wu, Wu, Wu......" He didn't know what position Wu Yuanheng was in now, and he didn't dare to call his name, so he actually stuttered for a while.

Wu Yuanheng rode on the horse with a smile on his face, and gave him a slight salute: "Lord Liu, don't come to harm?"

"Hello Master Wu! Hello Lord Wu!" Liu Dehai finally picked up a staircase and came down the ladder and gave a salute again and again. I thought to myself: It's over, it's over, this little white-faced salted fish has turned over, and he still doesn't want to kill me alive?!! Why is my life so bitter, I want to die without dying, I offended Li Mo, and now I have become a prince again...... I'm afraid that those two old princes won't be able to protect me!

Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but smile and said, "Liu Tingshi, the heat has passed, why are you still sweating on your forehead?"

"Uh......" Liu Dehai swallowed for a while, and said with a flattering smile, "Greeting adults, the enthusiasm in my humble heart is like fire...... Therefore, so sweat. ”

"All right, get up. Take me to the Assassin's Mansion!"

Liu Dehai and a group of other officials and generals all stood up, led the way, and led the more than 3,000 people to the Assassin's Mansion. Along the way, many people watched and discussed.

"That's the current crown prince? It's really majestic! No wonder he can win so many battles in Xichuan!"

"This is the Flying Dragon Rider, right?! It is said to be the most powerful army in Daqi!"

"Tsk! It's really powerful! On weekdays, the old men who stab Shi in a powerful and blessed way, when they see the prince, they seem to have lost their souls and turned into wilts. ”

When he arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Dehai was busy and arranged for the officials in the mansion to arrest them and settle the three thousand ironclad land for food and lodging. The colonel's tent was erected on the field. Three thousand people were properly settled. The knot is usually a figure who dominates the party. But in the face of flying dragons riding these fierce tigers on the battlefield, it was like a little lamb seeing a tiger and lion, and he had no confidence to lower his voice. The three thousand iron horsemen seemed to have a murderous aura that was not angry but powerful and the unique smell of blood on the battlefield, which made them shudder. Liu Dehai and the others were waiting by the prince's side, and they were not restless, for fear of doing something wrong. was single-handedly taken down and brought to justice. After all, he has a criminal record, and he once planted Wu Yuanheng.

"Liu Tingshi, let me ask you. Xiao Yunhe sat on the big chair in the main hall, drank a cup of tea, and said casually, "My mentor Xuan Qinggong." Have you been to Yongzhou a few days ago?"

"I've been here, I've been here. Liu Dehai hurriedly said, "I have sent more than ten maids and servants to serve me, and I don't dare to slack off in the slightest." ”

"Tsk!" Xiao Yunhe said impatiently, "If I ask you, I will answer directly." Don't talk nonsense. Sue me, where is Xuan Qinggong now?"

"Yes......" Liu Dehai panicked for a while and said. "Now, it should be a guest at King Jia's mansion. ”

"Should?!"

Yesterday evening, Xuan Qinggong, who originally lived in the Yongzhou Inn, was invited by King Jia, but has not returned. Liu Dehai hurriedly said, "Xuanqing Gong is diligent and thrifty, refuses to live in the assassin's mansion vacated for him, and insists on living in the guest house." There is no way to be humble. Please also ask the prince to forgive and forgive your sins!"

"Oh, that's the case...... Xiao Yunhe paced slowly and said, "Xuan Qinggong is here to do things for me." He asked the relatives of the Yongzhou Emperor to borrow grain, you must be clear, right?"

"Yes. Humble knows. ”

"Hmm. Xiao Yunhe nodded, "Then did you donate money and food?"

"Donate, donate!" Liu Dehai said hurriedly. "Contributing to the country is a righteous act, and it is also a matter within the lowly office - the lowly duty has donated twenty or twenty ......"

"Twenty stones of gold?" Xiao Yunhe looked at Liu Dehai in surprise.

Liu Dehai was stunned: "Yes...... Twenty stone of grain. How can I get two thousand taels of gold to donate ......?"

"Twenty stone of grain?" Xiao Yunhe shook his head in disappointment, "You are embarrassed to take out such a little thing...... Let's send someone from the house to be my guide. I was going to visit Jia Liu Dehai was stunned, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to bow his hand and say, "Yes!"

"Bo Cang, you don't have to go with me, just rest in the Thorn Mansion today. Xiao Yunhe turned back to Liu Dehai and said, "Liu Tingshi, you have to be careful." Mr. Wu is now the head of the East Palace, and he is the second grade!" Xiao Yunhe pretended to exaggerate at Liu Dehai, raised two fingers and shook it.

"Ah?--yes, yes! You must be careful to serve your lowly duties!" Liu Dehai was shocked to Wu Yuanheng. When Wu Yuanheng saw the prince like this, he just wanted to laugh. This is clearly playing tricks on this Liu Thorn History!

Liu Dehai sent a local official of the Assassin's Mansion as a guide, and Xiao Yunhe only brought five or six people with him, and set off for King Jia's Mansion. King Jia's Mansion is not too far from the Thorn Mansion, and the time to ride a horse and stick incense can be reached. Even though it was getting late, I was able to get to his house before dark.

Wu Yuanheng had been invited by Liu Dehai to sit on the main seat, and a group of bureaucrats in the palace surrounded him to offer their affection: "Lord Wu, what should you eat at night? The cooks in the Assassin's Mansion used to work in the palace, and their skills are very good. As long as Master Wu can order the dishes, they can do them. ”

"Cool tofu, add a vermicelli soup, stir-fry a green vegetable. ”

“...... Yes, yes, Wu Daren likes light, so he makes it light. Master Wu, do you want to invite a few tricks to perform a few songs and dances, or invite a group of jugglers to help the wine?"

"When you go out on business, you can't drink alcohol. After a few years in Nishikawa, I was no longer accustomed to kabuki performances during banquets. ”

Wu Yuanheng looked like he didn't eat the fireworks of the world, which made Liu Dehai and others both angry and helpless. After dedicating their affection for a long time, they felt that their hot faces were on their cold butts, and these people knew in their hearts: this little white face was determined to come to find trouble this time.

It's over, it's dead!

It didn't take long for Xiao Yunhe to arrive at King Jia's Mansion under the guidance of his guide.

The mansion of King Jia's Mansion occupies a wide and magnificent area. The stone lion in front of the door alone must be expensive. The vermilion lacquer door of more than two people is shiny, and the copper rivets on the ground are shining. The three big characters of Jiawangfu are even more public. There were a few government officials standing at the door, and Xiao Yunhe led people towards the door.

"Stop, who's it!" the pawns were fierce. The official who led the way seemed to know these sentry posts, and frequently glanced at them.

Xiao Yunhe took a step forward, cut his hands behind his back and said proudly: "Li Mo!"

"Li Mo, who?" the little pawn looked at each other. The official was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and whispered, "Don't kneel down yet - the prince is here in person!"

"Ahh

"That's it, get up. Xiao Yunhe raised his feet and walked inside, "Where is King Jia?"

"It's in the main hall - the villain is going to report to the adults!"

"There's no need to report!" Xiao Yunhe had already walked in, and the few Wyvern Riders unceremoniously blocked the pawn behind him, and glared at him viciously. That burst of murderous aura almost frightened the pawn into screaming.

In Duanwang's mansion, it is also carefully decorated. Thin stone aisles, lined with trees. The flower beds on both sides are full of exotic flowers and plants, which are almost comparable to the imperial gardens of the Imperial Palace. A huge carved beam and arch house, the style is extraordinary. A large flat stepping stone in front of the house is also made of white marble, and the cost must be extremely high.

Xiao Yunhe shook his head as he walked, and said with a sigh: "My imperial uncle, he is really very rich! This house is almost on the same level as the palace!"

When Xiao Yunhe arrived at the main hall, it was *** bright, and a table of wine had just been placed on the table. It seems that it is still very rich. King Jia was affectionately helping Li Mian personally, and walked out of the tea room in the side hall to prepare for dinner. When Bu saw Xiao Yunhe at a glance, King Jia's eyes widened in astonishment, and he blurted out: "Li ......" Fortunately, he changed his words in time: "Lord Prince!"

Li Mian was also a little surprised: "Oh, the prince is here too?"

Xiao Yunhe stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand slightly to the two: "Thirteenth uncle, Xuan Qinggong, take the liberty to disturb, didn't disturb your Yaxing, right?"

"Ah...... Don't dare, don't dare!" King Jia came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly came forward to greet him, "Minister Li Xian, meet the prince Chitose!

"Alas, Uncle Thirteen is quickly excused. Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, "Isn't it above the court now, and the family is one! Where is the reason for uncles to worship nephews." Little nephew Li Mo, give a gift to Uncle Thirteen!"

Li Mo immediately smiled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The prince is the prince, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, how can you salute the minister?"

Li Mian smiled meaningfully on the side: "Since they are all their own people, there is no need to be so formal." The prince must have worked hard from afar, and the prince still doesn't invite the lord to sit down for a banquet?"

"Oh, yes, yes!" said King Jia, patting his forehead again and again, "Look at my memory! Your Excellency, please sit down and dine - the guards who have come with you are also invited to the side hall, and the officials of the palace will personally accompany you and entertain you well. ”

Xiao Yunhe didn't push, and sat on the main seat according to the guidance of King Jia: "Then it will bother the thirteenth uncle." ”

King Jia looked very enthusiastic and a little flattered, and hurriedly greeted the people in the palace and prepared good wine and dinner for the prince's entourage. Then he called someone to invite a few maiko who were both colored and artistic, and the silk bamboo sounded. Singing and dancing. A lavish dinner.

Xiao Yunhe picked up the wine glass and tasted it, and said with a sigh: "This kind of good wine can only be drunk in the thirteenth uncle's mansion." If I'm not mistaken, this is a wine made by the secret brewing method in the palace! The name of the wine is Cuitao, which was created in the early years of Zhenguan by Wei Zheng, the prime minister who was good at treating wine. Emperor Taizong once praised this wine for being drunk for thousands of days and undefeated for ten years. As a result, this wine is one of the finest in the palace. Thousands of dollars are hard to find. Unexpectedly, the thirteenth uncle's mansion actually has such a superb product, it is really breathtaking!"

King Jia suddenly showed surprise on his face, slapped his face and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful! Sure enough, it is a great connoisseur of wine! To tell the truth, this wine is a superb wine in the palace, and now the recipe is almost lost, and even the most clever winemaker in the palace can hardly brew it. The minister also received the emperor's favor, and was rewarded by the emperor a few years ago. If it weren't for the two distinguished guests of the prince and the prince Xuanqing today. I'm really reluctant to take it out and drink it!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Then thank you Uncle Thirteen for your hospitality." ”

Li Yi smiled silently on the side, and said secretly in his heart: King Jia, you are about to fall into the trap of the prince's land. I am so happy to see the Chinese network all the way, hehe!

King Jia is less than forty years old, and his body is quite strong, and he seems to be a good drinker. Hearing that the prince was so knowledgeable about wine, he was also a little proud and happy. kept persuading Xiao Yunhe to drink. Xiao Yunhe secretly sneered in his heart, I am not drunk in a thousand cups. You have such a small treasure stock, I have to drink it for you today, see if you will feel distressed.

Drink to the end. Xiao Yunhe is also energetic, this wine is indeed good. So he simply took the big urn to his side and replaced it with a large bowl of beef drink. King Jia was stunned from the sidelines: My lord, this glass of wine is enough to exchange for the same size of gold, you can save me some drink!

Xiao Yunhe pretended not to know. While drinking, he laughed and said, "This wine ...... It's really delicious! Uncle Thirteen, don't blame it! I've been in the army for a few years, and I'm really not used to drinking such a small cup. If it weren't for the two elders here. I'm afraid I've already dragged up the wine urn to drink-come, Uncle Thirteen, Xuanqing Gong, let's do it again!"

King Jia complained bitterly in his heart, and had no choice but to drink it. Watching bowls of wine flow into the prince's throat, it felt like the gold in his hand was snatched away by life. I kept exclaiming in my heart: This Li Mo, when did you have such a amount of wine? Didn't you fall to the ground after three cups in the early years? It's over, it's over, my Cuitao wine!

Xiao Yunhe laughed in his heart while drinking: Look at your virtue, it's like robbing your wife. Drink you to death, and call you rich and unkind!

The whole three jars of good wine were in the stomach, and Xiao Yunhe was not drunk at all. King Jia's whole face has turned into a bitter gourd - he has carefully hidden three urns of good wine for several years, and all of them have been ruined by the prince like drinking water!

Xiao Yunhe sighed in satisfaction and burped: "Uh-good wine! It's really good wine! Uncle Thirteen, is there anything else? Let me bring two jars back tomorrow!"

"No, you're all drunk. King Jia dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to smile bitterly.

Li Mian looked at it and wanted to laugh, how well he knew the prince, how could he not know that the prince was deliberately playing tricks on King Jia. Moreover, when the prince came to Yongzhou, he must have important things to do, and he will never drink these two jars of wine just to drink. Since the royal landlord has to deal with family affairs, it is better for this old man to avoid it.

Li Mian excused himself that he was too drunk to go to bed, so he withdrew. King Jia sent someone to serve him to the guest room, and he stayed to accompany the prince to the banquet. He also kept beating the drum in his heart, wondering why the prince came. As early as a few years ago, he secretly listened to the emperor's plot to come up with a case of soaring food prices, and then designed to arrest Wu Yuanheng to frame him...... If he doesn't know these things, has he learned the truth?

Xiao Yunhe looked at King Jia's face, and slowly pondered in his heart to knock on this guy first. Looking at King Jia's face and the appearance in the banquet just now, this person is much more treacherous and fierce than the old man. It's no wonder that the old man would find him to do those treacherous things at the beginning, and it seems that he still took a fancy to his skills, "Ten, thirteen uncles!" Xiao Yunhe pretended to be a little drunk, sat on the couch and waved his hands, and said, "You, you sit down a little." ”

"Yes. "King Jia hasn't drunk much, and he's sober at this time. He hurriedly moved his seat and sat side by side with Xiao Yunhe.

"Ahh Xiao Yunhe pretended to be crazy. Dancing.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellen......cy," said King Jia's tentative whisper, "Are you drunk! Why don't you help you go down to rest?"

"Hehe!" Xiao Yunhe smiled drunkenly, "The kabuki in the thirteenth uncle's family are all good! However, how can the little nephew dare to win the love of the thirteenth uncle? Besides, I came here today because I had something important to do. Who knew they would come across a good wine. I accidentally drank two more glasses. ”

King Jia's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice, "My lord is here, what is the important matter?"

"Hey!" Xiao Yunhe waved his hand and said impatiently, "Isn't it because of the matter of borrowing grain?" Every day, they surrounded me and urged me, saying that the army was about to be unable to open the pot, and the sergeants were afraid that they would mutinied. I'm going to be annoyed! No, I invited Xuanqing Gong to be a lobbyist, and asked the royal family in the gate to sponsor it. But it's been a few times. Only a little bit of food was raised, and it was enough for the 200,000 troops to eat for a few days! This is not a way to go down, so. I had to come in person. Even if I can't raise food then, I'll do my best, right?"

"Oh, that's ......" A sneer appeared at the corner of Jia Wangdi's mouth, and he thought to himself: It seems that he is just here to go through the motions...... The grain case and Wu Yuanheng's affairs back then, he must still be a little unclear, right? That would be much easier to handle.

King Jia sighed to himself.

At this moment, Xiao Yunhe suddenly pretended to be sober, leaned over to King Jia's side and said, "Thirteenth uncle, don't blame me for not reminding you! I was in the East Palace this morning. I received a letter from someone in the customs to report you. Saying that you have seized the public warehouse for personal gain, I want to denounce you! Isn't this the opposite, even the prince dares to sue! We are a family, let me find out who wrote the letter, and I must abolish him!"

King Jia was so frightened that he was shot in the body. But he immediately regained his composure, and said with a smile: "The prince is wise! Now that someone dares to sue this king, isn't that going to be reversed?!"

"That's it!" Xiao Yunhe also pretended to be indignant, and said loudly, "You don't know how well the letter is written, and the words are burning, just like the real thing." What is said in the letter, Thirteen Shuli forcibly occupied Hanjiacang and Luokoucang, the two largest public warehouses near the eastern capital, and appropriated them for his own use. Not only that, but the imperial grain handed over by the states and counties near Yongzhou and the eastern capital will also be embezzled by you. Hanjiacang is the first warehouse in the eastern capital! It was built in the former Sui Dynasty and has always been one of the most important granaries in Daqi. It's just that in recent years, due to the war rebellion, it has not been of much use. But it is still a thing of the Great Qi Imperial Court, who would dare to invade it? As an imperial uncle, the Thirteenth Uncle will definitely not do such a thing?"
