Chapter 92: See who will have the last laugh
The King of Jin had a faint smile on his lips, watching the princess leave, and then turned around and looked at the eunuch named Li Shun.
"You castrated guy, I wonder if I will accompany the princess to relax at this time every day? What are you doing when you run over?"
The King of Jin said angrily.
"I disturb the prince Yaxing, I hope the prince forgives his crime."
Li Shun trotted to the King of Jin and bowed to apologize.
King Jin waved his hand and said impatiently: "Forget it, let's not be an example! Let's talk about it, why is it so in a hurry?"
Li Shun looked around, looking cautious, as if he was worried about the wall.
"The back garden is the forbidden area of the royal palace, and the guards hidden around them are all my confidants. If you have any problems, you can feel at ease."
King Jin walked slowly to a pavilion in the garden and sat down.
Li Shun followed, stood respectfully beside King Jin, and whispered: "The emperor recently opened a restaurant called the Yang Family Restaurant. Should the prince know?"
King Jin said: "How can I not know? The reputation of this Yang family restaurant has been known throughout the imperial capital. My incompetent children have been secretly visited more than once. It is said that there are many new things in it, which are very attractive..."
He glanced at Li Shun: "You came to see me just to say this?"
Li Shun lowered his eyebrows and said with his eyes down: "The Yang family restaurant is so good that it is now the number one restaurant in the imperial capital. It can be said that he makes money every day..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the King of Jin: "Do you guy, do you want to get a kick? Forget it, my father has been understanding the people's sentiment recently, so don't cause trouble for me!"
Li Shun continued slowly: "The predecessor of the Yang Family Restaurant is Tianxiang Restaurant... Now the shopkeeper of the Yang Family Restaurant is still Su Gui."
"oh?"
The King of Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly: "If I remember well, Tianxiang Restaurant is an industry under my third brother, right?"
Lee Shundao: "That's right."
The King of Jin's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. After a moment, he said: "I took the initiative to ask my father to go to Jinyang City to investigate the border love, but now I have created such a unique but extremely profitable restaurant... My third brother, I have been moving recently!"
Li Shundao: "I have checked it. The Yang family restaurant is not unique to the Qin Palace at present, but is opened in partnership with others. The Qin Palace only accounts for 40% of it."
King Jin said with a "hoo": "This is interesting... I don't know what kind of person he is, but he can actually divide 60% of the industry of the Qin Palace."
Li Shundao: "The Yang Family Restaurant has four shareholders, one of the Qin Wang Mansion, and the other is a courtesan named Yan Feixue in Yihong Courtyard. The other two are from a small village on the border of our country of Zhao..."
King Jin was stunned and seemed to believe it.
What qualifications are a brothel courtesan and a villager of two small villages to be able to share shares with the Qin Wang Mansion and run a restaurant?
"Li Shun, go check again... find out the true identities of the courtesan and the other two... In addition, how can I not let the prince brother know about such an interesting thing? I think he will definitely be very interested in this!"
After Li Shun left, King Jin thought for a moment and waved to a rockery in the distance.
The next moment, a strong middle-aged man with a scar on his left eyebrow appeared in front of the King of Jin like a ghost, knelt down to the King of Jin on one knee, bowing his head to obey.
King Jin stood up, with the double back and looked at the lotus in the pond outside the pavilion, and said in a faint tone: "You assist Li Shun to check the three shareholders of the Yang Family Restaurant except the Qin Palace... The more detailed the better! If necessary, you can use some extraordinary means!"
The middle-aged man stood up with his fists, and his body leaped a few times, and then disappeared from the back garden.
The King of Jin turned sideways, looked towards the palace, and murmured to himself: "Brother has been restless recently, and the third brother has also started to move. It's really a tree that wants to be quiet but the wind never stops! The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Let's see who can laugh to the end..."
※※※
Imperial city, arched palace.
Emperor Zhao Xian, who had been in power for nearly 30 years, was summoning several ministers to discuss military and political affairs.
Today, Emperor Qinglong is over fifty years old. Because he is diligent in government affairs and overworked, his hair and beard are half white and he looks a little old, but his eyes are bright, his figure is straight, and his spirit is very full.
"...The Northern border defenders have reported that the Hu State has repeatedly invaded our country and killed our people in recent years. Moreover, it is still preparing for troops in its country, and its intentions are dangerous and obvious!"
Emperor Qinglong's voice gradually became sharp, his majestic gaze swept over the ministers present, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, how should we deal with it?"
A warrior, a warrior, said with a quick look: "Your Majesty, there is nothing to say, just kill him! Let those Hu people know that our Zhao State is not easy to mess with!"
A civil servant who was in charge of peace shook his head slightly and said, "When the war comes, the life will be in trouble, and the daily expenses are also an amazing number. Therefore, the old minister seems to be the best thing to do if he can talk about peace, and it is best not to move troops."
The martial minister glared and said, "If you talk to a group of inhumane barbarians, you can talk nonsense! Only by beating them and making them honest can you ensure that my borders are safe!"
The civil minister sneered: "In recent years, our Zhao State has fought several barbarian countries in the northwest and southwest directions, which has consumed a lot of money and the treasury is almost empty. Where can we get the money to fight with the more powerful Hu State? If you can take out millions of taels of silver, I agree with you to fight!"
"I...I...I"
The military minister suddenly turned red and couldn't speak. Finally, he said: "If you can successfully talk to the Hu people without harming the slightest interests of my Zhao State, I will come to your house to apologize!"
"The Hu people are greedy and don't give up some benefits, so it's hard to talk about success!"
"Hmph, such a peace talk will only make the Hu people more greedy! Also, aren't you afraid of being called a traitor by the people of Zhao?"
...
Seeing that the two ministers, Yiwen and Wu, were arguing, Emperor Qinglong rubbed his brows and advised: "Okay, okay, what the two Qing families said makes sense. Don't argue anymore... Don't argue anymore... We need to make a long-term plan for such a big matter. Well, all the ministers will retreat first."
Several ministers stood up one after another, bowed to Emperor Qinglong, and then left the Chuigong Hall.
It was dark outside at that time. After Emperor Qinglong handled government affairs in the Chuigong Hall for a while, he followed an elderly eunuch and headed towards the Renming Hall where the queen was.
The elderly eunuch was thin and had a slightly arched waist and back. He could not tell his true age. When he was leading the way in front, his eyes glanced around and emitted a terrifying light from time to time.
If Yang Hongyu were here, she would definitely be shocked and knew that this old eunuch was one of the few masters in the world.
When passing by Yifu and the Fengyang Pavilion where the two princesses Roufu lived, they heard the sound of "chubby" sword energy breaking through the air in the courtyard, accompanied by clapping and cheering. Emperor Qinglong smiled slightly, turned his steps and entered the middle.
I saw a seventeen-eight-year-old girl wearing purple clothes under an ancient tree in the sky, waving the long sword in her hand, practicing a set of sword techniques.
The three-foot green breeze seemed to be alive in the girl's hands, sometimes like a flying swallow sieges water, sometimes like a butterfly passing through flowers, floating and moving, and you can actually see a faint sword energy in the air.
Occasionally, fallen leaves fall down and when they pass by the invisible sword energy, they are immediately shattered into pieces.
Another thirteen or four-year-old girl in a purple dress stood under the eaves several feet away, staring at the sword-dance girl with wide eyes. When she saw the wonderful things, she would applaud her.
These two girls, one is Princess Yifu Zhao Duofu, and the other is Princess Roufu Zhao Duobao. They live together in Fengyang Pavilion and are adjacent to each other.
