East Palace, Xi Zheng Palace.
Eunuch Huaiji bowed and walked in, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, General Yue of the Yulin Guard is here."
Not long after, with the sound of jingling bells, Yue Hongling, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes and with long hair tied up in a shawl, entered the palace with tiger steps.
A familiar smile overflowed from the corners of his brows and eyes, and he said: "The last general, Yue Hongling, pays homage to His Royal Highness."
Xiao Yi stood up from his seat, looked at Yue Hongling, and said with a smile: "Well, Gu Zheng asked the dining room to prepare a banquet. Today, you accompany Gu Gu to drink wine and enjoy the plum blossoms."
Yue Hongling sat directly on the chair next to Xiao Yi's desk, smiled sweetly, and said, "Okay."
Xiao Yi listened to the crisp and bold voice ringing in his ears, looked at the graceful and quiet Yue Hongling, and felt that it was very pleasing to the eye, and said: "Then I won't get drunk or return!"
Yue Hongling's beautiful eyes flashed, she waved her sleeves and said boldly: "Your Highness, please don't underestimate me. It's just drinking. I didn't get drunk after a thousand cups!"
Xiao Yi nodded. He knew several of Yue Hongling's hobbies, such as fighting, good wine, and... Hongxue. He said warmly: "Let's go. Lan Qiao Fengyue, who is preparing to stay in the Immortal Residence, knows that you like to reconcile." Wine, this time, I’ll let you have a taste.”
Sure enough, Yue Hongling's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "That's really the best, Lanqiao Fengyue. These days, the reputation has spread far and wide. The entire capital knows that Zuixianju has produced high-quality wine. I heard that it tastes like burning knives and is very delicious." It’s spicy.”
"I've only bought one bottle so far."
"Just this, I have already spent a lot of money."
In fact, many people also know that His Highness the Crown Prince asked the Qin family to open this Zuixianju in the capital.
And Lanqiao Fengyue should also be created by His Highness the Crown Prince.
Now, no matter what it is, as long as it comes from His Royal Highness, there seems to be nothing strange.
I have been hiding for more than 20 years and have read thousands of books, among which there may be many treasured classics by sages.
Being able to brew a strong liquor like Blue Bridge Fengyue is nothing very shocking.
can only say.
They are all numb.
As Xiao Yi entered the side hall, the two of them sat on a soft couch next to the Xuan window, with an autumn-colored pillow on the back. The maid on the side presented fragrant tea in a kiln porcelain cup.
Soon.
Several delicacies were also served.
Finally, there are four blue and white porcelain bottles, which contain fine wine as clear as water.
Xiao Yi said: "Today I invite you to the East Palace. In addition to letting you taste the Blue Bridge Feng Yue, there are also some things I want to discuss with you."
Because Li Yuan in Jinyang had some changes, and Tong Fan, who was supervising Li Yuan in Jinyang, was assassinated.
The story didn't quite get out.
Because Dong Zhuo had already openly rebelled in Jiangdong.
So much so that the capital began to feel a little shaken, and the imperial court also cursed Dong Zhuo.
He also asked An Zijun, the general of the Imperial Guard, to lead troops to suppress the attack.
Di Yan and others were worried about Xiao Zheng.
After all, this third prince is Yue Shan's disciple, and he and Yue Shan have the status of master and disciple.
A second prince left.
A third prince returns.
Not a good thing.
Yue Hongling said bluntly: "But what happened in Jinyang?"
Xiao Yi picked up the tea cup, blew a sip of tea foam, took a sip, and replied: "Yes, Gu was actually on guard for a long time, but he didn't expect that Li Linfu's death would actually make people like Dong Zhuo even more rampant. "
"Perhaps it was because of Gu's wisdom that they felt the pressure, so they risked the disapproval of the world and directly launched an army to rebel, right?"
Yue Hongling did not feel that Xiao Yi was arrogant or boastful. Instead, she nodded in agreement and said, "That should be the case. They have been suspicious for a long time. After His Majesty became seriously ill, they stopped hiding it and recruited troops to disrespect the imperial court."
"Now that I see that Daqian has a powerful heir apparent, I naturally start to worry. I don't want to drag it out in case something unexpected happens. It's better to follow Dong Zhuo closely and let Dong Zhuo be a pawn crossing the river."
"They are waiting and watching from behind. Come to think of it, not only a few prefects, but also a few princes are also unlucky, right?"
Xiao Yi praised: "Yes, you really know things like a god, and women are not inferior to men."
Yue Hongling opened Lanqiao Fengyue directly and poured herself a bowl of wine.
Regarding Xiao Yi's statement that women should not give way to men, she is worthy of being the daughter of the military god of Da Qian, and she feels a little like a confidant.
She knew that she was able to have such abilities and status as she did now because she was the daughter of Yueshan, the daughter of the God of War.
However, I have heard others use this sentence to praise me since I was a child. More or less, as I grow older, I have different thoughts.
Xiao Yi frowned and said in a deep voice: "In these troubled times, internal worries in Daqian are more serious than external ones now, and it has reached the point where it has to be dealt with."
"First there was Dong Zhuo from Jiangdong, then Li Yuan from Jinyang, then maybe Yuan Shao, maybe Liu Zhu, and even several border guard princes. They also had thoughts that they shouldn't have."
"If Dagan continues, there will definitely be civil strife. By then, Beiyan and Meng Yuan will annex Jindi. And if Dagan fails to unify and solve internal problems after Beiyan and Meng Yuan's victory, they will definitely take advantage of them. Come in."
"At that time, the Central Plains will definitely be devastated. There are already wars everywhere, and if barbarians like Meng Yuan and Beiyan move south, the people will suffer even more."
Yue Hongling's eyes flashed and she responded in a deep voice: "Of course."
The two people raised their wine glasses, signaled to each other, and then took a sip.
This wine is indeed distilled wine.
Li Linfu died.
Xiao Yi can be regarded as the real superintendent of the country.
At the Ministry of Industry, several ministers who had been buried were also promoted. Among them was a minister named Chen Gui, who was considered a skilled craftsman.
The distillation equipment was finally built by him under Xiao Yi's guidance and after hundreds of experiments.
With just this equipment, it is 64% better than the Qin family in producing hard liquor like Lanqiao Fengyue.
After being luxuriously packaged, it became a famous wine.
Sold for a sky-high price.
Even if the relationship between Yue Hongling and Qin Hongxue is unusual, the Qin family did not give it away in vain.
She still spent some money and bought a bottle.
I just bought a bottle.
First, drinking can easily cause trouble.
Yueshan's discipline was not that strict, but was a rule set by Yue Hongling himself in order to convince the soldiers.
It's not that she, a female general, doesn't know how to drink, but it's because she doesn't want to cause trouble by drinking.
Secondly, Yue Hongling was really reluctant to spend thousands of dollars to buy a bottle of wine.
Even this bottle of wine is fine wine.
Xiao Yi's expression paused, and he continued: "After the New Year, people don't have any leisure time inside and outside, as well as state and family affairs. Now that something like this has happened, I will be busy again in the future."
Yue Hongling said proudly: "Get busy, I will lead my troops to destroy anyone who dares to rebel!"
Xiao Yi also said happily and boldly: "I believe in your abilities and myself, but you are just a few petty thieves. Li Linfu controls the court, and I can destroy them with thunderous means."
"First make peace at home, then fight against the outside world."
"Go straight to Huanglong, go north to the grassland, and seal the wolf as a slave. This is what a man should do!"
After hearing this, Yue Hongling looked at Xiao Yi with her beautiful eyes. The two of them laughed together, feeling happy.
After a few more glasses of wine, Xiao Yi said: "Go to Luzhou and keep an eye on Li Yuan. By the way, just like you did in Longyou Road, monitor the local officials. If there are any corrupt officials, report them directly. The Guhui will send out patrols to inspect the censors and officials." Jin Yiwei went to carry out a rectification movement."
"Under the current situation, it will be difficult to quell the grievances of the local people without killing a few corrupt officials."
"Of course, as a court, this is how it should be."
"Once officials take bribes and bend the law, they ignore the laws of Daqian and take the lead in flouting the laws of Daqian."
"The common people will naturally hate Daqian."
"This is not a good thing for the stability of Daqian."
Hearing this, Yue Hongling nodded, took a sip of the wine, hissed a few times, and replied: "Put it on me, Your Highness, don't worry."
"Okay, then we won't get drunk until we return." Xiao Yi said, raising his wine glass and looking at the heroic Yue Hongling opposite, who actually looked a bit like the Qingxia heroine.
After three rounds of drinking.
Xiao Yi was drunk.
Yue Hongling's face was rosy and her body was a little unsteady.
In contrast.
She really is massive.
Xiao Yi was already sleepy now, so he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Yue Hongling stood up reluctantly, followed Eunuch Huaiji out of the East Palace, and walked on the royal road with high vermilion walls. The sun of the first month of the year shone lazily on people, and the cold wind blew from time to time, but there was something different about it. of comfort.
…
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
Just after the Lantern Festival, Yue Hongling left the capital with the Yulin Army and headed for Luzhou.
This is the barrier to the north of the capital.
In fact, it should be further.
Even further.
Shuofang, north of Taiyuan, is the gate of Daqian.
But looking at it now.
Taiyuan has Li Yuan, and his son Li Huaian has arrived at Longde Mansion, where he was also lost.
Yue Hongling could only guard Luzhou.
And Xiao Yi soon waited for the first batch of beautiful girls selected by the Ministry of Rites.
Liayan Pavilion.
Xiao Yi stood there and turned around to stare, only to see two women in brocade clothes bowing and saluting.
And he had just arrived here, intending to be alone for a while.
A woman is wearing a plain blue palace dress, with a slender waist and high waist. She is slim and beautiful. Her face is crystal clear, her eyebrows are slender and her eyes are slender, especially a tear mole at the corner of her eye.
The other woman is petite and exquisite, wearing a pink dress and a cardamom girl's bun on her head. She has bright eyes and white teeth, and she stands tall and graceful.
Xiao Yi looked at them for a while, listened to Eunuch Huaiji quietly report their names and net worth, waved and said: "No courtesy."
The two beautiful ladies then stood up and looked up at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi asked the girl in blue: "You come from a famous family in Luoyang, but why are you willing to enter the palace and become a beautiful girl?"
Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan's face paused slightly, and she replied in a clear voice: "Back to Your Highness, my father has something to say. Your Highness the Crown Prince is a wise king, with the demeanor of a rejuvenating king. When I heard that the Ministry of Rites was going to choose a concubine for Your Highness, my father sent a memorial ceremony. name."
Another girl in a pink dress, who was born in a Gengdu family, named Zheng Wugou, saw Xiao Yi looking at her, she quickly cautiously looked very weak, and said softly: "Your Highness, I am the same."
