After reprimanding him again, the emperor told Wang Xian to get out. Wang Xian naturally wished for it. He felt that if he stayed with Zhu Di for a long time, he would definitely become abnormal...
After coming out of the emperor's place, Wang Xian suddenly thought that if Zhu Di only beheaded Lu Jiancheng and said, "I have served his sister for many years," did the emperor realize that Lu Jieyu was killed carelessly? Then think of the Zhou Xin case.
, the Shanxi military ration case, it seems that no matter how powerful the conspiracy is, it can only deceive the emperor for a while. When he calms down and thinks about it carefully, nothing can be hidden from him.
Thinking of this, Wang Xian broke into a cold sweat. So, the things he did behind the emperor's back could not escape the emperor's eyes? But when he thought about it, he felt that it was not possible. The emperor was a man, not a god, and military matters were important.
He had enough to worry about. At most, he could pay attention to some important people and things. However, the things he did in Shanxi were far from being able to attract the emperor's attention.
Thinking about this, Wang Xiancai breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought that even if the emperor did not investigate Lu Jieyu's matter, he would still blame Ji Gang in his heart. In addition to the previous Zhou Xin case and the Shanxi case, it would be difficult for the emperor not to blame Jin Yiwei.
In terms of loyalty and ability, there is a big question mark. I am afraid this is also the reason why I was put in.
After leaving Beiyuan with random thoughts, Wang Xian saw Zhu Jiuye, who had changed into casual clothes, waiting there, so he put on a smile and said, "Jiuye is in the old capital, where can we find any good restaurants?
Brothers, let's go have a drink."
"The weather is like this." Wang Xian asked Zhu Jiu to choose a place. This was a little trick to build a closer relationship between the two parties. Zhu Jiu thought about it carefully and said: "There is a Yipin Guo restaurant by the Qinhuai River. The food is good in winter and there are also lottery bonuses. I wish you an official residence at Yipin soon."
"Thank you for your kind words, let's go there to eat." The two of them got on their horses and headed to the Qinhuai River. After a while, they arrived at the Yipinju store. The store looked old and the decoration was very high-end. According to reports
Zhu Jiu said that this restaurant was in the capital during the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, King Xu Da of Zhongshan often came to eat this hot pot every winter. The so-called Yipin hotpot is a kind of hot pot, but unlike the hot pot in the north, Yipin hotpot is not boiled but cooked.
It is boiled, and the cooking is very particular. Place bamboo shoots on the bottom of the pot, meat slices on the second layer, white tofu on the third layer, meatballs on the fourth layer, vermicelli on the fifth layer, and finally garnished with
Add spinach and daylily, seasoning and water, then simmer over low heat.
It was still early in the morning, and there were no other guests in Yipin Juzhong. The hotel owner hurriedly invited the two adults to sit in the private room upstairs. After sitting down, the boss apologized and said that because it was still early, the Yipin pot was still not quite ready, so he could ask the two adults to order some first.
Other dishes.
On the way, Zhu Jiuye made it clear to Wang Xian that he would treat him to this meal, firstly, to help Wang Xian, and secondly, as an apology for having offended many people in Zhejiang. Knowing that he would not be allowed to treat him to this meal, Zhu Jiuneng felt very uncomfortable.
Since he was comfortable, Wang Xian would not rob him... as if he was more than willing to pay the bill.
Inviting the boss to dinner, and having so many names, of course it cannot be done with just one dish of pot. Zhu Jiu is determined to build a good relationship with Wang Xian, so of course he does not care about the cost, such as stewed turtle with ham, braised civet, Huangshan braised pigeon, steamed
Stone chicken, pickled fresh mandarin fish, double fried skewers, etc., all the Anhui dishes that this restaurant is good at are on order.
This made Wang Xian unable to stand it any longer, and he laughed and said, "We are just ordinary people, we can't eat so much."
Zhu Jiu responded and ordered a few more soups before giving up and saying: "Just order these first, if there are not enough, we will serve them later." He also ordered the best Nuerhong in the store. When the wine jar was brought up, he patted open the clay seal and gave it to
Wang Xian poured a bowl, poured another bowl for himself, raised it and toasted: "This is the first bowl for you, sir. I'll show you my respect first."
"For this second bowl, I'm going to apologize to you, sir. I'm going to show you my respect first." He tilted his neck and finished drinking, then poured another bowl of wine. "For this third bowl, I'm going to thank you for disregarding your previous grudges. I'm going to show you my respect for this."
Respectfully"
While talking, he drank three large bowls before the food was served. Wang Xian hurriedly stopped him to stop him from drinking. He said in his heart that you really got yourself drunk, right? He said with a smile: "There is another guest who hasn't arrived yet, don't say goodbye first."
Drink in a hurry."
"Who else?" Zhu Jiu asked strangely.
"Your sixth brother." Wang Xian said calmly.
"Ah?" Zhu Jiuye's eyes were already a little blurry, but he sobered up after hearing this and said, "My sixth brother?" The reason why he wanted to get himself drunk was probably because of the conflict between Zhu Liu, Wang Xian and Zhu Liu.
, Zhu Jiuye knew very well that he wanted to be as vague as possible about Wang Xian's obvious move to win over Wang Xian. Now that he heard that Zhu Liuye was also coming, how could he not be surprised?
But then Zhu Jiu thought about it, maybe he wanted me to help him reconcile, right? Come to think of it, this guy is going to take office in Beizhen Fusi soon. Is it okay if he doesn't have a good relationship with his sixth brother?
"Sir, do you want me to be a lobbyist?" Zhu Jiuye is the kind of person who respects me every step of the way and I return the favor. Since he thinks so, he won't go around in circles with Wang Xian.
"That's not what I meant." Wang Xian shook his head and laughed secretly in his heart. Quite the opposite. He changed the subject and asked, "Is Master Jiu still in Jinyiwei now?"
"Here..." Zhu Jiu had been drinking, but now his face turned red and his neck thickened, and he said sarcastically: "I don't know, sir. The main responsibility of the Jin Yiwei is to guard the palace and guard the palace. As for the investigation and arrest, then
They are the errands of the Nanbei Zhenfusi, and the Nanbei Zhenfusi is just a part of Jinyiwei."
"That's it." Wang Xian smiled and complimented: "Jiuye was originally the emperor's bodyguard, right? As the saying goes, clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as before. The emperor must be particularly relieved to use an old man like Jiuye."
"Alas, I'm only of this use." When it came to his situation, Zhu Jiu had nothing to be afraid of, and said sadly: "But who is willing to stand on guard all his life? I would admit it in front of the emperor, but you
See, I can’t even get into Beiyuan, so it’s really embarrassing for me to end up like this.”
"I heard that when the Jinyiwei was rebuilt, Master Jiu also had a lot of power." Wang Xian asked leisurely.
"Yes, I was the deputy governor of Beizhen Fusi at that time. Later, I made several mistakes in succession and was demoted to the rank of Thousand Households by the emperor." Zhu Jiu said bitterly: "Later, I was squeezed out of the town and Fusi, and again
I came back to show the emperor the gate.
"Who is so capable?" Wang Xian asked strangely: "With Master Six protecting you, how can Master Nine be squeezed out?"
"Well, let's not talk about the past." Zhu Jiu shook his head and did not want to elaborate. At this time, the store began to serve the dishes, and the two stopped talking. When the dishes were almost ready, Zhu Liuye also came.
It was too late. Wang Xian stood up with a smile to greet him and said, "Master Six, please let us wait easily. We must drink three drinks as a penalty."
"Accept the punishment and accept the punishment. It's a pity that I don't know this. I love wine as much as my life. If I am punished like this, I will not frown no matter how much it comes." Zhu Liu laughed heartily and took off his hat and threw the fur to Wang Xian's bodyguard.
, smiled at Zhu Jiu and said, "I didn't expect Lao Jiu to be here."
Zhu Jiu was a little dumbfounded when he heard that the two of them had settled their differences. He hadn't seen Zhu Liu smile like this in many years. After thinking about it, he thought that Wang Xian could really swallow this. Where's his moral integrity?
"Old Jiu, you are obsessed again." Seeing him like this, Zhu Liu said with a smile: "Brother Wang and I don't know each other until we fight. The more we fight, the closer we get." But he was secretly depressed. In order to repay this kid's debt, I must go to
Is it easy for me to have to come here as a lobbyist in cold weather?
"Haha, yes." Wang Xian smiled and nodded: "The Meridian Gate fire case the day before yesterday was thanks to Mr. Liu's great help, otherwise I would not have been able to solve the case in three days."
"It's just a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about." Zhu Liu said it easily, but in fact, under Ji Gang's eyes, he drove his disciples and disciples to paste private goods next to the official notice, and mobilized the local ruffians to roam the streets and alleys of the capital.
Spreading a message is not an easy task. But otherwise, the two suspects would not know the government's determination immediately. He said with a proud smile: "But at least I have lived up to my trust, and let my brother
There is an explanation from the emperor." As for how the case was ultimately decided and whether there was any further consequences, he would never ask.
But the way the two of them were going back and forth and being so intimate still scared Master Zhu Jiu. He kept winking at Brother Six, "Are you serious?" Zhu Liu nodded slightly, it was indeed true...
Zhu Jiuye understood immediately that Wang Xian had not hired himself as a lobbyist, but had hired Zhu Liu as a lobbyist to persuade him.
Sure enough, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wang Xian asked: "People say that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and the ninth brother who works outside the Beiyuan Gate, are also prestigious and wealthy, right? Why are you still frowning?"
"The prestige is true, but can the prestige be used as food?" Zhu Liu shook his head and said for Zhu Jiu: "We are all our own people at the table. To be honest, my ninth brother's job is worse than that of a county magistrate and prefect.
The concierge has some tricks up his sleeve."
"Why is this?" Wang Xian asked.
"The concierge's fortune is all obtained by asking for bribes. If you can't get the bribe, you won't pass on the news." Zhu Liu smiled bitterly and said: "But who dares to do this in front of the palace? Don't you get tired of living?" He said and looked at it.
Zhu Jiu said with a sad face: "We brothers, whether we are in Jinyiwei or not, are at least very popular. But I, the ninth brother, have a heavy burden on the family. How can I just rely on that little salary? Although the brothers often help,
But it is not an option to help the urgent but not the poor." He looked at Wang Xiandao and said, "Don't I want to take over Beizhen Fusi? I recommend Lao Jiu to hang out with you. I believe I will not treat my brother badly."
"I will naturally sweep up the couch to welcome a capable person like Master Jiu." Wang Xian laughed and said, "It is certain that we will share the blessings and share the hardships. In short, we will definitely not be at a disadvantage to Master Jiu."
"How about it, ninth brother, follow Brother Wang?" Zhu Liu gave Zhu Jiu a meaningful look and said: "Brothers are of no use and can't help you. I can only help you point out a clear path. Follow me."
Brother Wang, I don’t have to worry about getting promoted and getting rich.”
Zhu Jiu looked at the sixth brother who was trying to help Wang Xian with a bit of surprise. Then he looked outside. Didn't the sun come out from the west?
