Chapter 588

The emperor insisted on taking charge of the emperor in person despite the opposition of the ministers and the emperor.

The people all came to the street market and watched the emperor's carriage drive out of the imperial city.

Bo Langjun, who was used to being pampered, did not ride a horse, but followed the emperor's carriage in a carriage.

Zhao's eyes and ears were hidden in the crowd. After they saw the emperor's carriage and horses leaving the imperial city, they rushed to Zhao's mansion to report.

A smile appeared on Mr. Zhao's face:

"This may be God's will! Come with someone! Come with a carrier pigeon!"

He had already communicated with the King of Chengyang and conspired to raise an army and rebel.

King Chengyang was still hesitating. After receiving the letter from Mr. Zhao, he immediately gathered troops and started to rebel.

When the emperor arrived in Taiyuan, he was warmly entertained by officials from all over the country.

When the emperor, who had been happy to drink a few more cups, saw that his old ministers were very pleased, and all of them were rewarded with merits and rewarded them. The people gave cattle wine.

The governor of Taiyuan County said that the fields in Jinyang and Zhongdu were affected by floods and people's livelihood was difficult.

The emperor then announced that he had exempted the rent and taxes for the two places for three years.

The next day, the emperor sobered up. When he recalled the night banquet, he asked the Bo Langjun who was cooking tea:

"Is there any loss of the lonely person?"

"Fortunately! The scenery in Taiyuan is pleasant. I wonder if the emperor has a good time to visit?"

When Bo Langjun saw that Eunuch Xu was dressed neatly by the emperor, he poured a cup of tea and put it on the tea table opposite him.

The emperor sat down and savored tea, and kept saying that tea was good.

When the Taiyuan County Magistrate came in to pay tribute to him, the emperor asked where the tea came from?

"Longjiao Mountain east of Jinyang!"

The governor of Taiyuan County bowed and replied accordingly.

"Are you far?"

The emperor had the idea of ​​going to take a look.

"It's not far! It's about half an hour to ride a horse! Could it be that the emperor wants to go to Longjiao Mountain?"

The Taiyuan County Magistrate raised his head in confusion and looked at the emperor.

"Go and see how tea farmers raise tea! See the people's sentiment!"

Bo Langjun answered for the emperor and poured a cup of tea for the Taiyuan County Magistrate.

"Oh! The official is going to prepare now!"

The Taiyuan County Magistrate did not receive the cup of tea that Bo Langjun poured for him, but hurriedly left the door and went to prepare for the emperor's visit to the tea mountain.

"Do you think it's appropriate to go to Longjiao Mountain alone?"

The emperor still had concerns! After all, Guan Ying was leading his troops to fight fiercely with the Huns, and he was afraid of losing his words at this time.

"If you don't do this, how can you paralyze the King of Chengyang and others?"

A firm light flashed in Bo Langjun's eyes.

"Then let's be a mediocre person once!"

The emperor made up his mind to visit Longjiao Mountain.

Taiyuan Longjiao Mountain is right next to Jinyang County Road, and the transportation is very convenient.

The teahouse temple in the mountains has a long history. Legend has it that in ancient times, it was a ferry on the east bank of Jinyang Lake in ancient Taiyuan. Merchants and cargo ships all docked here. Passing merchants and pedestrians drink tea and rest here, worship Buddha and make wishes. Later, Dayu controlled the flood, opened the Lingshikou, and vacated Jinyang Lake, which made Taiyuan City look like today. (quoted)

The emperor, Bo Langjun, Taiyuan County Governor and others came to the Tea House Temple.

There is a teahouse next to the temple, and the tea fragrance is everywhere.

Before Bo Langjun and his party could smell the refreshing aroma of tea before they could get close to them.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea before entering the temple!"

The emperor traveled in casual clothes, so he didn't have so many concerns.

The governor of Taiyuan wanted to persuade the emperor, but was stopped by Bo Langjun's eyes.

"After all, the emperor is the Lord of Nine Five, how can he use tea in this small teahouse?"

The governor of Taiyuan looked at Bo Langjun in confusion.

"The emperor rarely leaves the palace once, let him do what he wants!"

Bo Langjun can understand the emperor's mood at this time. He also knows it is difficult to be an emperor who has lived in the palace for a long time.

After drinking three dishes of tea, the emperor felt a little sweat on his forehead, but a happy smile appeared on his face.

Eunuch Xu handed over the towel and handkerchief. The old man in the teahouse saw the color of the towel and handkerchief, and hurriedly knelt down to the emperor.

"Please get up quickly!"

The emperor wanted to reach out to help the old man, but Eunuch Xu took the lead in helping him.

"Don't make a statement!"

Eunuch Xu took out the coins and paid for the tea.

"The grass people dare not collect this tea money!"

The old man's hands trembled.

"Hold it!"

Bo Langjun stood up and said.

The emperor had already strode into the Tea House Temple. Jiang Yu followed him without hesitation.

The Tea House Temple is a courtyard layout, consisting of a mountain gate, a bell and drum tower on the left and right, a main hall, and an ear room on both sides. There is also a row of pavilions and pools in the backyard. It looks staggered and has a unique view.

Everyone was enjoying the excitement of climbing the mountain and looking into the distance, and the fields were full of green and pleasant.

That piece is the tea field on which tea farmers rely on.

The emperor and Bo Langjun looked at the terraced fields, and helped each other walk down.

The county magistrate and Jiang Yu followed closely, but Eunuch Xu fell behind because his legs were unhappy.

"What are you looking at! Let's just help me and leave!"

Seeing that the two guards beside him were just following him, Eunuch Xu hurriedly urged them to carry him to chase the emperor and others.

Someone had already conveyed the news on the tea mountain, and all irrelevant people were avoided, leaving only the grandparents and grandchildren with rich planting experience waiting for the emperor's question in the tea garden.

The emperor asked the old tea farmers that they might eat and wear warm clothes.

The old tea farmer bowed and said that they rely on growing tea for a living and their lives are still acceptable.

The emperor grabbed a handful of tea leaves from the old tea farmer's back basket and looked at it, then sniffed it again.

"Summer tea does not have the fragrance of spring tea, but the tea color is rich and has a unique taste."

The old tea farmer followed the emperor and said.

"The tea we drink is probably spring tea!"

The emperor remembered the tea that Bo Langjun cooked by himself when he was in the morning.

"Well! That's Maojian, green tea!"

Bo Langjun is good at tea ceremony, so he naturally also has some research on tea.

"The Maojian tea is tender and green in color, with a fresh aroma and a ripe chestnut aroma, with a mellow taste, and the leaves are tender and bright, and they usually start picking in late March."

The old tea farmers introduced it like a treasure.

"Grandfather! He's home!"

The old tea farmer's grandson pulled his clothes and reminded him.

"Fast to the yard! The old man has all the tea!"

The old tea farmer proudly invited the emperor and others into his teahouse.

Although the house is simple, the courtyard is quite spacious.

Bo Langjun and the emperor sat at the wooden table in the yard.

The old tea farmer’s grandchildren brought out all the good tea treasured at home.

The emperor opened this can and took a look. He sniffed that can and even said good tea!

"You can take all these back!"

The old tea farmer put all the tea jars into bamboo baskets and placed them on the table.

"No! Just take two cans!"

The emperor waved his hands quickly.

"You have waived our rent for three years, and this little tea is nothing!"

The old tea farmer stuffed the bamboo basket into Eunuch Xu's hands.

"Jiang Yu!"

Bo Langjun signaled Jiang Yu to give money.

The old tea farmer refused to collect coins. He said that he kept these tea leaves, but he was reluctant to drink them and couldn't finish them. Now that he met a wise master like you, I will respect you for the tea farmers in Tea Mountain!

But the emperor said that you don’t charge money, I can’t take your tea! If other officials learn to be orphans, there will probably be very little tea left in your tea mountain! This precedent cannot be opened!

The old tea farmer then collected the coins and bowed to give them to him.

The emperor personally carried the basket of tea full of the hearts of the tea farmers and went down the mountain happily.

Bo Langjun only then felt that the emperor had the appearance of a young man.
