Chapter 159 Gifts

After getting the emperor's note, His Highness King of Wei was working in the Ministry of War, so he naturally copied it without any obstacles. The two ministers of the Ministry of War nodded happily and agreed to buy strong liquor for the northern border troops first. After all the matter was negotiated, the two ministers respectfully sent His Highness King of Wei out of the Ministry of War.

After His Highness the King of Wei left, Xie Jun, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Chen Zhong, the right assistant minister, looked at each other, and they were both helpless.

The two of them were officials of the Ministry of War, but the King of Qi was appointed as the Minister of War. In other words, no matter whether these two people were willing or not, they would be labeled as the King of Qi. Now that the seventh prince has obtained His Majesty’s note, they have more or less worried.

The two ministers turned back to the lobby of the Ministry of War. At this time, a young man who was not very tall walked out of the lobby. The young man sat in the main seat of the lobby of the Ministry of War and was slowly tasting tea.

The left assistant minister Xie Jun bent over slightly and bowed, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince is gone."

King Ji Huan of Qi stretched out his hand and said softly: "Take a look at the stick he brought."

Xie Jun lowered his head, took out the note from Changle Palace from his sleeve, and handed it to the fourth prince. The fourth prince spread it out and looked at it, only a few words were written on it.

"The King of Wei and the Kingdom of War should not make things difficult for the Ministry of War."

These words were written by Emperor Chengde. The writing was vigorous and most important officials in the court recognized the handwriting. As a third-rank minister, Xie Jun and Chen Zhong naturally would not disagree.

The fourth prince slowly closed the note, handed it back to Xie Jun's hand, and said calmly: "What is the wine that Lao Qi made? Even the father spoke for him?"

His Highness King Qi frowned slightly: "Is it really as magical as he said?"

Mr. Xie lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, this thing has not yet been dispersed into the army. We don't know what the situation is like for a while. However, since the Seventh Prince dares to alarm His Majesty, this matter may not be fake. Otherwise, the Seventh Prince will not be able to afford the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Ji Huan narrowed his eyes.

"The sin of deceiving the king..."

After muttering several times, he looked up at Xie Jun, and said in a quiet tone: "Does Lao Qi's wine be delivered to the north?"

"Yes... are going to send it to General Ye Ming."

Mr. Xie's face turned pale and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, don't do stupid things. Your Majesty has already stared at this matter. You must not do anything. If you annoy Your Majesty, our entire Ministry of War will be unlucky..."

Ji Huan glanced left and right and whispered: "Is these spirits escorted by our Ministry of War?"

Right Minister Chen Zhong nodded and said, "Military supplies have always been escorted by our people."

The lower part of the King of Qi's palace was calm: "Can you adjust the bag?"

Chen Zhong's face was also a little pale. He lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, you can do it, but the risk is too great. If the thing made by the Seventh Prince is really useful, then one day it will not be hidden. If something goes wrong with the escort of the Ministry of War, Your Majesty will definitely find out the head of the Ministry of War. At that time, we will still be inseparable from the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Chen Zhong lowered his head and advised: "Your Highness is the most powerful in the court now. You must not make mistakes, nor do you have to do the work of a gambler. You can let others take advantage of it for nothing."

The fourth prince frowned: "Do you let the seventh son be proud?"

"Your Highness might as well start from the root."

His Highness King Qi frowned.

"source?"

Chen Zhong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, lowered his head and said, "Xiaoguan... Cough... I heard that Deyi Tower also had several jars of strong wine a few days ago, claiming that three cups of wine will be drunk. Countless wine shops in the capital fell into Deyi Tower. Xiaguan probably said that the liquor in Deyi Tower and the seventh prince made it into a kind of..."

His Highness, King of Qi, looked up at Chen Zhong, who was nearly 60 years old, and smiled: "Mr. Chen is still stronger. Let's go back and get some good things to make up for it?"

Chen Zhong's face turned slightly red and lowered his head and said, "Your Highness misunderstood. The officials are just news... it's just news."

Ji Huan stood up from the seat and said calmly: "I know about this matter. I will do whatever the Ministry of War should do, so there is no need to make things difficult for Lao Qi."

As he said that, he stepped out of the Ministry of War.

Walking at the door of the Ministry of War, the fourth prince narrowed his eyes.

This Deyi Building seems to be a deal for Lao Qi...

………………………………………

In the Deyi Building on the other side, Zhu Rongjiu has gained a great reputation, because after the notice was posted, no one could handle three bowls without getting drunk. In fact, not only no one could drink three bowls, but even people who drink one bowl are extremely rare. In three days, there was only one big man from a military officer who did not fall down after drinking one bowl.

On the fourth day, the notice was revealed by Cui Jiuniang, and all the wealthy tourists in the capital were sad because they were not able to sleep with the girl Caiyi.

However, at the same time, Zhu Rongjiu's reputation was completely exaggerated. On the day the notice was revealed, many people spoke to Cui Jiuniang and asked for money to buy Zhu Rongjiu, but Cui Jiuniang followed Li Xin's words and refused one by one.

The next morning, Cui Jiuniang asked someone to go to the princess's mansion and asked Li Xin to go to Deyi Building.

Li Xin was still very concerned about Zhurong’s drinking. After he arranged the matter of the princess’s mansion, he set out to Deyi Tower.

Under the qualification pavilion in the backyard of Deyi Building, Li Xin bent down slightly to Cui Jiuniang.

"Sister Cui."

Cui Jiuniang stood up and returned the greeting: "I am really sorry to bother Mr. Li early in the morning."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Sister Cui is polite, but what's wrong with selling alcohol?"

Cui Jiuniang nodded softly: "Yesterday, many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital came forward to buy this kind of Zhurong wine. I pushed a lot of them according to what you said, but some of them were really unable to refuse, so I asked Mr. Li to come over and discuss."

During this period, His Highness of the King of Wei was busy in the court and had no time to deal with the matter of selling wine among the people. Li Xin was left to the responsibility of the Deyilou, so now Cui Jiuniang wanted to ask Li Xin.

Li Xin smiled and said, "No matter who it is, if you push them together, you will just say nothing. No matter how powerful those noble people are, you can't let Deyilou make wine for them, right?"

Cui Jiuniang smiled faintly: "Everyone is okay, but there is someone who is really hard to refuse."

Li Xin said in surprise: "Who?"

Most of the high-level circles in the capital know whose business Deyilou is. There are not many people in the entire capital that cannot be offended by the Wei Palace.

Cui Jiuniang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's Mr. Li, you have to be the boss at the right time."

Captain Li’s eyes turned: “Hou Jingde?”

Speaking of this, Li Xin shook his head.

The Hou family is just a poor general, and Deyilou will not be able to offend him.

Thinking of this, Li Xin blinked and asked: "Ye Lin, the General of the Central Guard of Yulin?"

Cui Jiuniang nodded and said, "Actually, it's not Ye Zhonglang who is about to drink it. The husband of the Ye family is a famous good wine in the capital. After hearing the name of Zhurong's wine, Mr. Ye specially asked his younger son to come over and ask..."

Duke Chen Ye Sheng!

The first person in the Great Jin army, a legendary general in the era of Emperor Wu!

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time, but in the end he did not dare to offend the respected Duke Chen.

Captain Li sighed softly.

"I have been in Yulin Guard for so long and have not given any gifts to Shangguan. So, I will pick up two jars of wine in person tomorrow and go to the Ye family to visit Shangguan."
