Yangzhou General Administration.
总管府参军段达从杨广的书房中沮丧的走出来,对着坐在外面等候的大都督裴礼说:“殿下请你进去.”段达很沮丧,他没法不沮丧.前几天他当着晋王的面拍着胸脯表示,一定尽快查清楚那些敢于公然袭击晋王殿下的老鼠,还要找出太子那些潜入扬州的黑铁卫死士.可是数天过去了,这些天他调动了大批晋王的侍卫私兵,甚至
以总管府的命令,传令江淮一带以扬州为中心的数州地方以及骠骑府,车骑府,让他们协同调查此事.可到现在,他除了知道扬州的这些老鼠中有一伙是太子的黑铁卫,还有一批更神秘者是从北方南下,极有可能是汉王杨谅的人外,其余的一无所知.每一次,当他查到点蛛丝马迹,迅速赶去的时候,最后总是晚到一步,一无所获.
想他曾经也是至尊潜邸的大都督,统领亲信兵.后来追随晋王,也曾经统领一万兵马,而连平数州叛乱.可现在,他竟然面对一群藏头摭面的老鼠,而束手无策.刚刚晋王虽然没有责骂他,可那阴沉的面孔,却让他清楚,晋王的忍耐已经快到底限了.若是再不能拿出些成果来,只怕自己这个扬州总管府的晋王左膀右臂地位不保.
Pei Li, the governor of Kuzhen, nodded to Duan Da, "Please don't worry too much about Duan Jun, I will try my best to speak well in front of the hall."
"That's really thankful to Brother Pei." Duan Da said gratefully. Although Pei Li's status in the King of Jin's mansion is not as prominent as his, he is not ordinary. He is the most experienced person in the mansion. He is an aide who has been following when King of Jin was a young man. He can be a confidant in his heart.
Pei Li entered the study and Yang Guang stood up, "Please sit down." While saying that, he picked up the purple clay teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Pei Li himself. Although Pei Li's position in the mansion was not very high, he was in a relationship with Yang Guang like a teacher and friend."
"Good tea, fragrant and sweet. Thank you, Your Highness!" Pei Li took the tea and took a sip, exclaiming and thanked.
"This tea is really good. Since I paid for this Agave Tea, I can't get used to the cooking tea with seasonings. But this tea is too expensive, one or two taels, and it's hard to get a pound."
“确实值这个价,不过对殿下来说,倒也算不得贵.不过对某来说,这茶可就是一茶难求啊,有钱都买不到.九秋风露越窑开,夺得千峰翠色来,卖这茶的人很有手段,不过制茶的人更加难得,这种炒茶方式不但突破千年来成法,独具新意,而且这茶瓶上的采茶女绘画,还有这诗,这书法,无一不是上成精品啊.真很难想出来,这究竟是出自何人之手.”
杨广也点了点头,他也是个文词大家,对于这茶瓶上的画和读都大为赞叹,确实写的很好.尤其是那画,竟然是一种从未见过的画技,可画出来的采茶女仿如真人,就像是站在自己的面前,跃然而出,甚至能感受到她的呼吸.“既然你也喜欢,孤这里倒还有几斤,一会分你一斤.”杨广对部下并不小气,茶之事也就此打住,他转而道:“叫你来,是有一件事情需要你去办,也只有你能去办.”
Seeing Yang Guang's expression, Pei Li immediately put away his previous light expression. "I don't know what's going on?"
"Mr. Pei, do you still remember more than 20 years ago? At that time, the emperor had just become the Prime Minister of Northern Zhou and was in charge of the government. He was named Duke of Yanmen County."
"In a blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and the King of Jin has also gone from a young man to the noble of Jin, who is now the most famous. He has always followed His Highness, and he seems to be vivid in his memory of the past."
"Yes, it's been more than twenty years." Yang Guang took out a jade pendant from his arms. The jade was warm and crystal clear, obviously kept on his body for a long time. Pei Li saw the word "ruyi" engraved on the jade pendant. At that moment, his pupil suddenly shone a lot, and there was a look of frightened on his face. Yang Guang held his expression in his eyes and smiled bitterly, "It turns out that it's not just me who remembers it, you still remember it. It's been twenty years, but we haven't forgotten it, right?"
Pei Li just sat quietly and said nothing. He knew that King Jin was not going to listen to what he said, he just needed to sit here.
"You know, this jade pendant was originally a pair, one with Ruyi and the other with Yifeng. Now this piece of Ruyi is in Gu's hand, but Gu's Yifeng doesn't know where it is." He stroked the jade pendant, as if he was rubbing the affectionate **. "That guy Duan Da is getting more and more useless, but he still has some gains these days. Do you know that the prince's black iron guard has been searching for Yifeng in Jiangnan recently, and is still looking for the jade pendant with Yifeng engraved. Duan Da found out that the Yifeng they were looking for was carrying the jade pendant."
Pei Li's face became more and more shocked, and finally he couldn't help asking: "Is that Yi Feng the one..."
"It's probably as you imagined, probably so. Otherwise, Gu wouldn't understand why the Black Iron Guard came here all the way." Yang Guang stared at the jade pendant and said, "Although I haven't seen him for sixteen years, Gu once thought that the child had died long ago, but now, I'm sure he is still alive, and he's the man who's chasing him."
Yi Feng was actually a pseudonym when Yang Guang was the Duke of Yanmen County twenty years ago. The jade pendant was the thing he hung on him at that time. When Yang Guang heard that the Black Iron Guard was chasing a man named Yi Feng, he was a little suspicious. When he heard that the man named Yi Feng had a jade pendant engraved with the word Yi Feng, he could have confirmed that the Yi Feng chased by the Eastern Palace was most likely his illegitimate son who died 16 years ago.
"Mr. Pei, the things that happened back then were fate, it was just an encounter, and no one thought that fate would tease people so much later. No matter what, I was sorry for their mother and son at the beginning. Over the years, I often felt guilty in my heart. You know, Ruyi has gone, and I thought the child had gone too long ago. God is pitiful, this child is still alive. Mr. Pei, I need you to help me do something, find Yi Feng, and then bring him back safely."
Pei Li was shocked and said with his lips trembling: "Your Highness, do you really decide to do this? You must know that the prince did not care about the consequences. Judging from his current attitude of sending the Black Iron Guard, he was going to get rid of the child at all costs. If Your Highness intervened in this matter, I am afraid that our relationship with the Eastern Palace will immediately be as strong as water and fire, and there is no room for ease. This is a war to start in advance. We are not ready yet. Is this worth it?"
"I have to do some things even if I know this. I owe him. I owe him sixteen years." Yang Guang said calmly.
Under the Liuhe Mountain.
The hunting activities of Gao, Chen and Xiao families were very popular this time. This was the first time Ling Yun participated in the hunting activities of this era. In later generations, there was no such activity. In his opinion, the hunting activities of the nobles in this era were like a golf game, elegant and high-end, which was beyond ordinary people's ability to play. Although the villagers in the mountains also hunted, their hunting was not the same as the hunting of the nobles and wealthy families.
The hunting of the nobles was more like a combination of military exercises and entertainment. The huge hunting team was no longer chasing one or two preys, but like an army fighting, they attacked each other, frightened the snakes, drove away the beasts, and then hunted. Chen Xiong and Xiao Shiluo were obviously good at it, and the servants they brought were even more so, shocked the beasts and drove them away, and everything was extremely skillful.
However, until the evening, Chen Xiong and Xiao Shiluo's harvest was not satisfactory. They had no other gains except for a few unlucky rabbits and hedgehogs.
On the contrary, the Gao family had a lot of results, harvesting several deer and deer, and even hunting a leopard. What made Chen Xiong even more dark was that most of these harvests were obtained by Gao Qianxue sisters and Ling Yun. The Gao family's guards were more fierce than they thought. The guards trained by former guard generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty were simply easy to hunt. They were not only experienced, but also deliberately drove away their prey. The Gao Qianxue sisters
The skillful archery and horse racing also surprised them. These two women who looked weak not only had amazing riding skills, but also had better archery skills. Gao Qianxue even directly hit the injured leopard's eye with a javelin, killing her, and shooting her, and she was simply a sharp shot. The son-in-law who he had always looked down upon was also amazing. Riding a horse and shooting archery was just like a common occurrence. Even at dusk, he actually drew a bow in front of the three families in public, and under the dim sky, he shot two flying geese and killed two birds with one stone.
It was originally a hunting showcase to show off Chen and Xiao, but in the end it became a show of the Gao family. Chen Xiong was very depressed.
After dark, camps were set up at the foot of Liuhe Mountain and bonfires were raised. The team did not go back. They wanted to hunt here for three days. The chefs brought by the Gao family had already built up earth stoves and started cooking today's harvest. In the open air, several long tables were placed on the ground. The main figures of Gao Chen and Xiao family gathered in a village and were having refreshments after meals.
Chen Xiong, who drank a little too much at dinner, had a red eyes. He looked at Ling Yun's calm and gentle look and became angry. A son-in-law, how could he get the confidence?
Qinglian and Mulan were responsible for the tea after meals. The tea was a dragon tongue, and the water was nearby streams. The tea was cooked and the fragrance spread. The two started to serve tea for everyone with teapots. Chen Xiong looked at Qinglian who walked up to pour tea for him. He recognized that the girl was the girl who was riding his green horse on a ride when he first came that day. He also figured it out these days and knew that this girl was once Gao Qianxue's close maid, and later pulled it to Yi Feng. Although this girl was good-looking, she was still too young. It was not the dish he liked, but he liked good women, mature and delicious. When his eyes turned, he suddenly came up with a plan. He knew that this girl was very popular with Yi Feng, and it seemed that the hot fried tea sold by the Gao family was Ling.
Yun made it. And I heard that this girl had been taught a complete set of tea making techniques by Yi Feng. Gao's tea stir-frying in Jiangnan is very popular now, and it is a bit unbelievable. Even Chen Xiong also saw that this is a great business opportunity. Just selling tea is not a big business. After all, there are so many tea merchants. But this tea stir-frying is different. So far, I haven't heard of a second company who knows this technology. This is a unique business, and the profits of a unique business are unlimited. Even if this unique business cannot last long, maybe three or five years, it may be enough to do it for such a long time. Think about the 60,000 chunks that were previously pitted by Yi Feng, he was bleeding. If he could steal the Gao's tea stir-frying business, it would be a big profit.
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared in his eyes. He also quietly grabbed Qinglian's hand with one hand.
Qinglian, who was pouring tea, felt that her hands were wrapped in a snake, which was extremely wet and cold. She was shocked and loosened her hands. The purple clay teapot suddenly fell down on the table and knocked over. A pot of hot tea poured on Chen Xiong who was smiling and burning, which made him scream in surprise and jumped up like a toad.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
After a rush, Chen Xiong finally stopped screaming, but he was in a very embarrassing body. Ling Yun took the opportunity to pour another bucket of cold water on him. Of course, on the surface, it was just to be afraid that he would burn it. However, seeing his cock-like appearance, Ling Yun couldn't help laughing. Can't this damn guy calm down for a while? He even wanted to eat his own little green lotus' tofu.
But he obviously underestimated the lower limit of this guy.
Chen Xiong stood there wet, extremely angry, "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, Your Highness, I want an explanation!"
Gao Qianxue also looked like she wanted to laugh but had to hold it in desperately, but on the surface she tried her best to restrain herself, "I'm so sorry, my maid accidentally knocked over the tea, so let her apologize to you."
"Apology, is it useful to just an apology?"
"What do you think of Mr. Chen?" Gao Mingyue kept seeing Chen Xiong unhappy, and then he interrupted coldly.
Chen Xiong snorted coldly: "If my servants from the Chen family were doing this, I would have dragged them out to death and feed them to the dogs. But since they are from the Gao family, I don't want to go too far. Let's do this. For the sake of the Gao family, this girl scalded me with boiling water. To show punishment, I hope the Gao family will give me this girl and serve me in front of me in the future, which is a compensation for someone."
"No!" Qinglian couldn't help but shout. She had no affection for Chen Xiong at all, and she didn't want to leave Ling Yun.
Without waiting for the Gao sisters to reply, Ling Yun strode over and pulled Ling Qinglian behind him, and said loudly: "Qinglian is a concubine, and she will never give her woman to others."
Chen Xiong stared at Gao Qianxue's sisters, "This is the way of hospitality for the Gao family, is this the reply from the Gao family?"
Gao Qianxue replied with a smile: "Yilang is my husband and the male host of the Gao family. His words represent the meaning of me and the Gao family. Regarding what just happened, I expressed my interest in Qinglian and the Gao family, but I am sorry to accept Mr. Chen's proposal."
