kingly way

Chapter 36 Chapter 036

In the meeting hall of King Dan's mansion, there stood a gorgeously dressed eunuch and several guards;

Ying Zhen, Tan Guo Ding Yibao, Liu Wugan, Xu Yichao, Song Weidian and other ministers stood around;

"Director Gao arrived, Ying Zhen was unable to meet him personally, please forgive me."

Ying Zhen bowed to Gao Changshi,

Gao Changshi is the celebrity of today's son Jin Yuanhong, he came here in person this time, Ying Zhen knew that there must be something important;

"My lord, you are being polite."

Gao Changshi smiled back and said.

"Director Gao, you're here today, what's the important thing?" Ying Zhen asked with a smile.

'This Gao Changshi suddenly came in person, he must have something important to do, why did he come to Tan country suddenly?What is it for? '

Because so many things happened recently, Ying Zhen couldn't help guessing in his heart.

"Oh, if you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Palace, Lord Ying should have guessed the purpose of our family's visit to Dan Kingdom this time." Gao Changshi said with a slight smile;
"Forgive Yingzhen for being stupid, please tell Gao Changshi clearly." Yingzhen smiled and said;
Gao Changshi looked around and leaned the fly whisk in his hand against his bent arm,

"The imperial decree has arrived, Ying Zhen accepts it!"

After Gao Changshi finished speaking, he took out a golden scroll and shouted loudly,

All around suddenly fell silent, everyone knelt down and shouted three times;
"King Duan Yingwu of Ju and King Ji Wang Quan'an conspired to rebel. Now Yingzhen is the general of Pingju. He will go to Ju to quell the rebellion. He will send troops immediately. I respect you."

Gao Changshi read Jin Yuanhong's decree aloud,

"Director Gao, please sit down."

After Ying Zhen and Gao Changshi read out Jin Yuanhong's decree, they took Jin Yuanhong's imperial decree from Gao Changshi, and then made a gesture of invitation to Gao Changshi;
"Please, my lord." Gao Changshi also made a gesture of invitation, and then went straight to the seat;

Ying Zhen waited for Gao Changshi to sit down, and took the seat himself;

"Take out our best 'Longtuan Shengxue' and give it to Manager Gao to taste. Manager Gao is a master tea taster in our Dazhou Empire." Ying Zhen ordered Dong Changshi to say;
Dong Chang's waiter bowed and retreated;
"Oh, there is also such a good tea as 'Longtuan Shengxue', which is worth [-] taels of gold per catty." Manager Gao said with a happy smile;
"General Manager Gao is a good tea taster. As the saying goes, a good horse is matched with a good saddle, and good tea must be tasted by Manager Gao. Haha, this 'Dragon Tuan Shengxue' was presented as a tribute to the king, and there was a little left over for entertainment. Honorable guest, it just so happens that Manager Gao is here today, how dare you keep it private." Ying Zhen clasped his hands and said with a smile;
"Haha, Prince Ying has a heart. There are rumors that 'you can have gold, but you can't get it from dragons and snow'. It can be seen that this tea is noble, and our family has thanked Prince Ying."

Manager Gao served Jin Yuanhong. He had heard of the nobleness of Longtuan Shengxue, so he could only smell the fragrance while serving Jin Yuanhong drinking tea. As for the tea, he could taste it. Paolong Tuan Shengxue gave him a drink, and he was very happy;

"Director Gao, what evidence is there for this heroic rebellion?"

Before the tea arrived, Ying Zhen asked, taking advantage of Manager Gao's happiness;
"During this period of heroism, he conspired against King Ji Quan'an together. Zhao Guangyi wrote him a letter and was intercepted on the road. The evidence is conclusive." Eunuch Gao said with a slight smile;
"Oh I got it."

Ying Zhen couldn't help muttering in his heart: just relying on a letter from Zhao Guangyi to him, this is too arbitrary.

After a while, Dong Changshi brought the tea;

"Why are these two cups of tea two colors?"

Gao Changshi looked at the tea and asked puzzledly;

"Haha, Manager Gao, the white tea is Long Tuan Sheng Xue, such a noble tea can only be drunk by distinguished guests like you, Chang Shi Gao; lower officials only dare to drink Bashan Sparrow Tongue, the quality is naturally not comparable to that of the general manager. " Ying Zhen said with a slight smile;

Ying Zhen's words coaxed Director Gao to be overjoyed, and he couldn't help nodding happily;

"The name of this tea is well chosen. It's called Shengxue. The tea brewed from the tea is really as white as snow; the production process is not simple, no wonder it is so precious." Gao Changshi said contentedly;

"Dong Changshi, please take my emerald cabbage and give it to Manager Gao to appreciate." Yingzhen ordered Dong Changshi again;

Dong Changshi bowed and went out again;
After a while, Dong Changshi brought the jadeite cabbage, which was originally carved from a large piece of jadeite;
"Ah, this emerald cabbage is full of vigor and energy, and the material is first-class in carving. It is the work of a master."

Gao Changshi couldn't take his eyes off the emerald cabbage for a moment, he held it in both hands, couldn't put it down, and praised;
"Director Gao is a person who knows treasures. This object was made by the master Yu Yazi, and it is his proud work." Ying Zhen laughed;
"Oh, it's still the posthumous work of the master sculptor Yu Yazi, which is even more valuable. As the saying goes, 'the color difference is one point, the price difference is ten times, red and yellow are emerald, emerald is green, emerald is the most expensive', this product is from Zhengyang. Green, the best among emeralds, is really rare."

Gao Changshi said and turned the jadeite cabbage around and looked at it again and again, but he couldn't bear to put it down from his hand;
"The structure and texture of this emerald is fine and dense, and the higher the transparency, the better the water head; the size is appropriate and the proportions are coordinated. It can be called the best of Zhengzhu."

Gao Changshi kept praising Jade, but he was reluctant to let it go;
"Director Gao is an expert, and he deserves to have this treasure. If you like it, you might as well give it to the manager for appreciation." Ying Zhen said with a smile;

"This is a precious treasure, how dare our family take away people's love."

Although Gao Changshi said so, he didn't let go of the emerald cabbage;

"Ying is a rough person, so he is not worthy of this thing. This thing is like an ordinary stone on me; Gao Changshi is an expert, so please take it back to appreciate." Ying Zhen said with a smile;

"Haha, since Lord Winning is so important, I'd rather be respectful than obedient, and I'll feel alienated if I refuse." Gao Changshi said with a laugh;

"Gao Changshi has to rely on your kind words on the king for this trip, I am very grateful." Ying Zhen said with a smile;

"In this matter, Lord Winner and Lord Hou are originally loyal people. Your Majesty, you can rest assured that our family is here. Haha..." Gao Changshi said with a happy smile;

"Director Gao, it's been a hard journey. Xiao Wang has already arranged meals, so please go ahead." Ying Zhen said to Changshi Gao with a smile.

"Then I'll have to beat the lord." Gao Changshi still said with a smile.

……

After the meal, Gao Changshi bid farewell to Ying Zhen,

Seeing the back of Gao Changshi walking away, Ying Zhen fell into deep thought...

'The king of Ju rebelled?He is so cautious, how could he rebel at this time?He will definitely not draw fire; he conspired with King Ji to rebel?Is this possible?Even after he analyzed the current situation, the people who want to unite should not look for Wang Quan'an?Isn't finding Wang Quan'an the same as choosing a dead end?King Duan Yingwu of Ju is definitely not such a stupid person. '

Ying Zhen stamped his steps back and forth, thinking nonstop.

……

"Could it be that the king wants to exclude me? He sent me out to let me eat dogs, and he sits on the mountain to watch the tigers fight? Even if I win the battle, the general will be exhausted. If I am charged again like Wang Quanan, I will be punished." Wouldn’t I just follow the path of Wang Quan’an? If I don’t send troops, it will be a crime of disobedience? What should I do?” The more Ying Zhen thought about it, the more panicked he became.

"Dong Changshi, order Chuan Ding Yibao, Liu Wugan, Xu Yichao, and Song Weidian to come here." Ying Zhen said to Dong Changshi.

The waiter Dong Chang retreated.

……

Soon, the four generals Ding Yibao, Liu Wugan, Xu Yichao, and Song Weidian all came to the conference hall;
"Generals, just now we all know that King Ju has also rebelled, and the king sent me to conquer. What do you generals do?"

Ying Zhen looked around at Ding Yibao, Wei Wuqian, Lu Chaoyi, and Song Weidian and asked.

"We obey your majesty's orders." The four generals bowed and said.

"You follow me through life and death. In the court, I am your lord. In private, we are like brothers. You don't have to be restrained. Feel free to say something."

Ying Zhen glanced at them and continued.

"Your Majesty has never treated us as outsiders. We are all very grateful, but I don't know if I should say something or not?" Song Weidian bowed and bowed.

"Since you are one of us, there is nothing you cannot say." Ying Zhen said.

"I think King Ji was framed and wronged for his rebellion, and so is King Ju now. I think there must be a conspiracy in it," Song Weidian said.

After Song Weidian finished speaking, he glanced at Ying Zhen, who showed a calm expression on Ying Zhen's face,
Of course Ying Zhen knew it was a conspiracy, but he would never say anything in front of others, especially in front of his subordinates.

"King Ji doesn't seem like an ambitious person. He is more content with the status quo. How could he rebel? The general thinks that King Ji is too courageous to assassinate the king, and the assassin still has a token with him. After the incident is revealed, he will face Ji Guo. Kneeling; is this obviously framed? I don’t understand what the king thinks? Ordinary people will understand that Wang Quanan was framed.” Song Weidian said.

Ying Zhen smiled and nodded...

"King Ju wants to rebel, so he probably won't find such a partner."

Seeing Ying Zhen smiling and silent, Ding Yibao said.
