(Thank you very much to ‘The Me That Day’ for once again generously supporting me with 10,000 coins.)
As for Wang Junlin's use of power for personal gain, Yang Jian no longer cared about it at this moment.
Of course, this is just what Yang Jian thinks in his heart. As an emperor, he will never show it. Moreover, by using this matter to beat Wang Junlin and make Wang Junlin fearful, that is what he should do at this time.
"Wang Junlin, tell me the truth, how much money can you make from selling these 100,000 kilograms of tea privately?" Yang Jian suddenly asked coldly.
"Reporting to your majesty, not all the nomadic barbarians in the grassland like tea. Only the tea cakes that have been specially processed by the minister's secret recipe will be liked by the barbarians in the grassland. However, this processing method is time-consuming and laborious, except for the processing losses and manpower and material resources.
, you can earn up to 50,000 guan from 100,000 kilograms of tea."
After finishing speaking, he presented a piece of paper and said humbly: "Your Majesty, this is my secret recipe for processing tea leaves into tea cakes. Generally, green tea is not recognized by the Turks. Only after processing it according to this method can it be made into tea bricks and tea cakes."
Only by eating cakes can we earn profits from the Turks. This is a top-secret recipe developed by me, and I am willing to dedicate it to Your Majesty free of charge."
When Yang Jian heard that it was Wang Junlin's exclusive secret recipe, and he was actually willing to offer it to himself, his expression softened greatly. He took it, looked at it, and said, "Yes, my dear, you are devoted to the country, and your loyalty is commendable. I will not let it go to waste."
Get your secret recipe."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Wang Junlin was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and said loudly, with tears of gratitude on his face.
Yang Jian was very satisfied with Wang Junlin's reaction. He nodded and signaled Wang Junlin to get up. Then he said to the servants on the left and right: "It is my secret decree that Wang Junlin, the guard of Gaotai City, has business dealings with various tribes in the Western Regions.
To find out the truth about the enemy clan."
A eunuch next to him shouted loudly, wrote it down as quickly as possible, and left quickly on the spot.
Yang Jian took a deep look at Wang Junlin and said calmly: "Wang Junlin, tell me truthfully why you suddenly took the initiative to confess this matter. Has anyone caught him..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the queen suddenly fell seriously ill and passed out." Before Yang Jian could finish his words, a eunuch stumbled in and cried.
Yang Jian was summoning the ministers when he was interrupted by the eunuch. He was very angry and was about to pull the eunuch out and kill him with a cane, but when he saw that the eunuch was the personal servant of Queen Dugu, and when he heard that the queen was seriously ill, his expression changed and he said to the king.
Jun Lin said: "Wang Junlin, please go back for now. I understand what you just said."
After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for Wang Junlin to reply.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Wang Junlin was relieved. Even if he had successfully solved the crisis caused by Sun Wentao's disappearance, the secret recipe of the tea cakes only cost him some money, and the method of making tea cakes was not difficult.
, after it is popularized, someone will soon study and imitate it. It is better to present it to the emperor as soon as possible in exchange for greater benefits.
Wang Junlin walked out of the palace, got on his horse in front of the imperial city gate, and walked slowly out with four guards. At the same time, he was thinking about Queen Dugu's serious illness. In his memory, Queen Dugu died this year, but
Whether it was summer, autumn, or winter, he couldn't remember.
Wang Junlin looked at the sky and saw that there was still more than an hour until evening. He wanted to further elaborate on his plan to deal with the two cunning old foxes, Duke Yue and King Changping.
On both sides of Yingtianmen Street are the various official offices of the imperial court. The huge buildings are magnificent. In the distance are the military offices of various guards and a large military camp. This is where the central court of the Sui Dynasty is located.
Officials of all sizes were hurriedly walking on the street, rushing back to the Yamen. There were also many officials who were coming to Beijing for the first time from the local area. They looked confused and asked around for the location of the department they were looking for. From time to time, a light carriage came speeding by.
This was a carriage carrying documents, and the ministers got out of the way.
Wang Junlin was followed by four guards, who slowed down their horses for fear of being too fast and hitting passers-by.
"King's Landing!"
Suddenly someone called him from behind, and the voice was quite surprising. Wang Junlin turned around and saw a person standing not far behind him, waving to him, followed by four guards.
This man has a handsome face and a strong body. He is no more than twenty years old. He is none other than Pei Yuanqing, who ranks third among the top ten young generals. He originally planned to pay him a visit in the next few days, but he didn't expect to meet him today.
Wang Junlin looked surprised and hurriedly stepped forward. The two smiled and greeted each other. Pei Yuanqing said: "I haven't seen Brother Wang for more than half a year, and Brother Wang's demeanor is even better than before."
Wang Junlin smiled and hit Pei Yuanqing on the shoulder and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few months. Brother Pei's body is getting stronger. His martial arts must have made further progress!"
"Speaking of which, Brother Wang is still very powerful. After going to the Western Regions with General Changsun, the Western Turks rebelled. Such a method of defeating thousands of people is really impressive to me." Wang Junlin showed his closeness.
This idea was very useful to Pei Yuanqing. Some of the barriers that had not appeared for a long time disappeared in an instant, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere.
Wang Junlin waved his hand and said: "Brother Pei, thank you for the award. I was also thinking about hosting a banquet the next day. Then I would ask my brothers to come over and support the occasion, so that no one from the nobles in the capital would reward me, the founding prince. I didn't want to meet Brother Pei today.
.”
Pei Yuanqing was stunned for a moment and said: "It seems that Brother Wang doesn't know yet, but I have sent someone to your house to invite you to a banquet at Chunnu Square in the evening. Uh! I just saw you coming out of the palace.
They probably haven’t informed you yet.”
When Wang Junlin heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "I heard that Chunnu Square is one of the best places in the capital. The singing, dancing, food, and women are all top-notch. Since Brother Pei has invited me, I will definitely go.
.”
When Yu Zimo was captured by six iron guards of the Yue Kingdom the day before yesterday, one of Wang Junlin's guards was killed by one of the enemy's iron guards. Wang Junlin had already secretly decided to kill the iron guard as soon as possible to avenge the futile death of the guard.
.
Therefore, in addition to letting Nighthawk inquire about the movements of the direct descendants of the Duke of Yue, the iron guard is also under Nighthawk's surveillance. And in the intelligence sent this afternoon, it was mentioned that the iron guard who went to the palace tonight was also under Nighthawk's surveillance.
The guard is taking a rest, and according to past practice, this person will go to Chunnvfang to meet his old sweetheart. Wang Junlin originally wanted to go to Chunvfang tonight to find an opportunity to kill this iron guard, but Pei Yuanqing just wanted to invite him there.
Fun at Chunnufang.
…
…
Nanfang Street in the capital city of the Sui Dynasty is one of the most prosperous commercial districts in Daxing City. Various shops are lined up in rows, forming streets. Chunnvfang is located at the intersection of Zhuque Avenue and the two streets on the left and right, which run directly from Nanfang Street to the city.
The cross-shaped junction can be said to be one of the best areas in Daxing City.
Wang Junlin followed Pei Yuanqing on horseback to Nanfang Street and stopped in front of Chunnu Square, which has a three-story wooden building. It was just after Xu hour, when the nightlife was most active.
The facade building of Chunnvfang is a wooden building. Generally, wooden buildings need to be built to more than three floors, and the intervals between floors will be compressed to ensure the stability of the wooden building. However, the distance between the buildings of Chunnvfang is very high.
Even standing in front of the building, you can clearly see the sky behind the building.
At this time, the lights upstairs and downstairs of Chunnu Square were brightly lit, and there were crowds of people. The scent of makeup and powder greeted the guests before they arrived. Without waiting for Pei Yuanqing's instructions, several of his guards shouted skillfully to clear a path, and Pei Yuanqing led the way.
Wang Junlin and his two men, with a total of eight guards, walked into Chunnu Square in a big way.
The posture of the two of them naturally alarmed many people. Strictly speaking, Pei Yuanqing was actually only nineteen years old, but he could tell at a glance that he was a regular visitor here. Many girls along the way had bright eyes, resentment, or resentment.
To ogle or to hug?
Throughout the ages, as long as there is a brothel, there must be an old madam who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the threshold, a soft and alluring voice came over.
"Oh, my, why are the magpies chirping non-stop today? It turns out that Mr. Pei has arrived. Mr. Pei has not been here for some days. My daughters are crying every day."
Pei Yuanqing smiled extremely arrogantly, and put out his arms to hug the old madam who floated over to talk. She was actually a beautiful young woman, only about twenty years old, with a top-notch appearance and figure. At this time, she was resisting Pei Yuanqing's dirty hands.
, while looking at Wang Junlin with his eyes.
"What are you looking at? Those who come with me can be ordinary people. Why don't you let the Fairy of the Moon Palace come over quickly to accompany the guests? Then the food and wine will be served well, and the rewards will not be missing from you."
After saying that, a gold ingot flew into the young woman's deep cleavage and disappeared.
It has to be said that the girls in Chunnu Square are of a very high standard. All the women Wang Junlin saw when he came in were considered to be beauties. At least he didn't see any bad looks along the way. Some of them were no better than him.
Cui Ruxue, the concubine from Gaotaicheng, is missing.
Pei Yuanqing saw that Wang Junlin's eyes were shining brightly and he was looking around non-stop, and he felt that he was getting more face. Unexpectedly, the old bustard said with a troubled face: "Mr. Pei, you also know that the Fairy of the Moon Palace has also said whether she wants to see guests.
No, I can only try to ask."
"Okay! Go quickly and tell Fairy Moon Palace that if she is willing to dance for my brother today, I will give her an agate gemstone." Pei Yuanqing said a little disappointed, and as he spoke, he quickly stretched out his right hand and grabbed it.
Judging from the movements of the young woman and the madam's chest, she wanted to pull the young woman's thin clothes directly away.
The old madam turned around, but he just happened to dodge Pei Yuanqing's hand. His movements were extremely skillful, and he obviously practiced them regularly.
"You two gentlemen, please follow me to the private room in the backyard."
The long skirt was dragging on the ground, and her legs and feet were not visible. She just felt like she was floating on the floor. Her waist and hips were twisting in rhythm, like a dance, which made Wang Junlin vaguely feel that this old madam might not be simple.
