"Your Majesty, it's not that I think so, but the people of the entire Yun'an County think so."
Tian Yi explained.
"Your Majesty, do you believe that throughout history, has anyone been able to conquer the plague?"
"Even those elderly people who are extremely famous in the medical field are at a loss when facing the plague."
"And who is Zhao Ping?"
"He is just a village man in the mountains. He has never read a book, let alone studied medicine. He is not even the lowest ninth-grade medical officer."
"Let me ask, how can such a person cure the plague?"
"It must be that His Majesty's grace has blessed all the people, allowing Zhao Ping to take advantage of the loophole and steal His Majesty's achievements."
"Hahaha, you are the only one who can say it."
Chen Xuan nodded at Tian Yi and laughed.
At the beginning of the plague, Chen Xuan was so worried that he couldn't sleep. He heard that the ministers couldn't come up with a solution. They only flattered each other and never got angry.
Now that the plague has been completely lifted, Chen Xuan's heart is at ease.
This flattery sounds like a crisp wind chime, which is particularly pleasant to the ear.
But Chen Xuan still had questions.
He continued: "Tian Aiqing, according to what you said, Zhao Ping is not some Penglai Immortal Lord? But an ordinary common man?"
"Yes, he is a common man."
Tian Yi nodded and said: "Not even as good as ordinary people."
"Because he is a second-rate man who drinks and gambles all day long and doesn't even farm the land."
"He's also messing around with women. He's not a good person at all."
"Is this happening?"
Chen Xuan's face darkened.
He had high hopes for Zhao Ping. Not only did he become a seventh-grade wine tasting officer, he even planned to recruit him to the capital and make him a capital official.
But Tian Yi said he was a second-rate man.
This was a bit too different from what others said, and it was hard for Chen Xuan to accept it for a while.
To be fair, Chen Xuan accepted Tian Yi's remarks.
After all, he is the emperor and brings blessings to all people.
How could he, a mere villager in the mountains, find a solution to the plague?
It must have been influenced by Huang En.
But everyone around him attributed the credit to Zhao Ping, and took away all the credit from him as the emperor.
This made Chen Xuan very unhappy.
Moreover, the acacia wine brewed by Zhao Ping is very delicious, many times better than tribute wine.
It must be because the emperor's blessings have come to him.
Not only did Zhao Ping fail to provide him with it, he instead used the acacia wine to make money.
Extremely abominable.
Originally, Chen Xuan had a very favorable impression of Zhao Ping after being "heard by" Xu Tianhua.
But when Tian Yi made such a fuss today, Chen Xuan actually wanted to pull Zhao Ping in front of him and chop off his head.
"It's more than that."
Tian Yi said sadly: "Then Zhao Ping relied on his ability to brew acacia wine and threatened my uncle to marry his cousin to him."
"Otherwise, acacia wine will no longer be served."
"He is robbing a girl."
Snapped!
Chen Xuan slapped the table hard and said angrily: "What a Zhao Ping."
"I must punish him."
"Your Majesty, if you really want to punish Zhao Ping, I have a suggestion."
"What advice?"
"I heard that there is no peace in Yuguan. There are always Xianbei people harassing us."
Tian Yi said: "Winter is coming soon, and the Xianbei people will definitely come to Qingzhou border to plunder."
"It's better to let Zhao Ping enter the Pioneer Camp."
"If a person like him dies on the battlefield, it can be regarded as his atonement for the harm to the people of Yun'an County."
"Okay, that's a good idea."
Chen Xuan said in surprise: "Tian Aiqing, you are worthy of being a Hanlin scholar, with endless schemes."
"Work hard and you will have great potential in the future."
"It's all well taught by His Majesty."
Tian Yi complimented.
Chen Xuan followed Tian Yi's suggestion and issued an oral order on the spot, ordering Zhao Ping to serve as a soldier in the vanguard battalion to guard Yuguan.
Li Yan smacked his lips several times but didn't open his mouth.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was happy. If he poured cold water on him, his life might be in danger.
It's better to leave it to Xu Jiuguan.
Zhao Ping is the person he strongly recommended, and is now assigned to the Pioneer Camp by His Majesty.
When Xu Tianhua learns the news, he will definitely return to Beijing to defend himself.
I'm afraid the last imperial edict hasn't reached Zhao Ping of Yun'an County yet, right?
That is to recruit Zhao Ping into the capital, and there will be many rewards.
Now the second imperial edict is about to be issued, but Zhao Ping must be dragged to the Pioneer Camp and asked to die.
What will the person receiving the order think?
Could it be that His Majesty is suffering from a brain disease?
So after Tian Yi left, Li Yan stood up and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, when will your oral message be spread?"
"Pass it now."
Chen Xuan glanced at Li Yan indifferently, "Li Yan, you have been following me for so many years. When have you ever seen sand rubbed in my eyes?"
"Then Zhao Ping is obviously a second-rate man, but Xu Tianhua lied to me and told me that Zhao Ping was an immortal king."
"snort!"
"Recall Xu Tianhua also, I will give him a slap in the face."
"yes."
Li Yan took the order and left.
My heart is extremely bitter.
Even Xu Tianhua's face is not good. His Majesty is probably very ill.
He was sad, but Tian Yi was extremely happy.
This time when he came back with the edict, he not only won his majesty's appreciation, but also tricked Zhao Ping into sending him to Yuguan to serve as a vanguard camp.
What does the Pioneer Camp do?
When there is no war, he is responsible for washing and cooking for the soldiers.
When a war breaks out, he is the first one to rush out of the battlefield and die.
snort!
If you dare to miss my cousin, this is your fate.
Tian Yi snorted coldly, hummed a little tune, and returned to his mansion leisurely.
After resting for a while, he took Tian Rou to the house of Liu Lai, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
After the guard reported, they successfully met Liu Lai.
"Liu Shangshu, I have come uninvited, and you are causing too much trouble. Please forgive me, Mr. Liu."
Tian Yi saluted respectfully.
"What are Tian Hanlin talking about?"
Liu Lai hurriedly helped Tian Yi up and said with a smile: "Master Tian is a popular person around His Majesty. Even His Majesty said that you have great potential and your future will definitely be limitless."
"When you come to a humble abode, it makes the humble abode shine, so there is no need to disturb it."
"Please come in quickly."
"I asked my servant to prepare some wine, and we will chat while eating."
"Xiaorou, hurry up and show your respects to Mr. Liu."
Tian Yi scolded Tian Rou who was in a daze.
"Master Liu, please give me my regards, little lady."
Tian Rou bowed and saluted.
"Who is this?"
Liu Lai looked Tian Rou up and down. She was handsome, but she didn't recognize her.
Tian Yi introduced: "Master Liu, this is my sister-in-law Tian Rou."
"I'm only twenty-eight years old, and I'm waiting in my boudoir."
"Last time I had a drink with Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu said that your young master had not married yet, so the subordinate suggested that his sister-in-law marry him, and Mr. Liu wholeheartedly agreed."
"No, I brought my sister-in-law here and asked her to meet Mr. Ling first."
"If appropriate, let's choose an auspicious day to get married. It's just a wish."
"Very good, so good."
Liu Lai stroked his beard and laughed, "Come here, call the third young master to the living room."
Third Young Master?
Tian Yi was stunned for a moment, and frowned when he thought of the third young master's reputation.
But I heard Liu Lai continue: "Tian Hanlin, if we can bring this good thing together, we will be a family."
"From now on, your Tian Hanlin's affairs will be my Liu Lai's affairs. Whenever necessary, Mr. Liu will definitely go through fire and water. It is his duty to do so."
"Master Liu, you're welcome."
Tian Yi said politely: "It is an honor for my sister-in-law to marry Mr. Ling."
"It is our Tian family who is trying to get Liu Shangshu."
"Hahaha, hurry up and invite us inside. Let's go to the living room to reminisce about old times."
Liu Lai invited Tian Yi to the living room with a smile.
Tian Rou naturally followed.
It's just that she is a woman and is not qualified to sit down, so she can only stand behind Tian Yi.
Not long after, a servant led a big man in.
After the man came in, he rushed towards Liu Lai.
Laughing loudly, "Dad, are you looking for me?"
"I heard that you found a wife for me. Where is she?"
As he said that, the man looked around for a week, and then his eyes fell on Tian Rou.
After looking up and down, he was even more happy, and his laughter flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he didn't care at all.
He even sucked it hard, and the bits flowed back down the corner of his mouth.
"Are you my wife?"
The man looked at Tian Rou and said excitedly: "She's so beautiful, I like her."
"Daughter-in-law, let's go to bed."
After the man finished speaking, he pulled Tian Rou's arm.
Tian Rou was startled and screamed to hide away.
Tian Yi's face didn't look good either, and he asked gloomily: "Master Liu, didn't we agree that Xiaorou would marry Wen Hao?"
"Why Liu Wenming?"
"Just because Tian Rou, the daughter of a merchant, still wants to marry Liu Wenhao, my eldest son?"
Liu Lai said disdainfully: "Are you here? If you want to eat swan meat, you will go crazy."
"Is she worthy?"
"She is lucky to marry my third son."
"Isn't my third son my child?"
"Or Tian Yi, do you want to regret it?"
"I……"
Tian Yi hesitated for a moment, then smiled apologetically and said, "What did Mr. Liu say? Since I have agreed to this marriage, I will naturally not regret it."
"Although the third young master is a bit foolish, he is also a strong and strong man."
"My sister-in-law marries him, it counts..."
"I won't marry!"
Before he could finish speaking, Tian Rou said coldly.
