Chapter 370

In Jiangdu, Pei Ju, the servant of Huangmen, has an inconspicuous house. It is quite far from the emperor's palace. It takes about half an hour to drive to the palace by carriage. The reason why Pei Ju chose the house here was not because of covetousness. His house was cheap, but he wanted the emperor to know that the house he bought was cheap.

The emperor always thought that Pei Ju was just a little greedy, and he was not greedy for everything. Even the house was chosen in such a remote place. Who can say that Mr. Pei Ju is not a frugal person?Although the emperor himself was extravagant, he didn't like the extravagance of his courtiers. If he couldn't see this clearly, how could Pei Ju achieve his current position?He and Yu Shiji are in charge of the government. They do what they say, isn't it because they are the two who can best understand the holy will?

I don't know when, in the alley where the back door of Pei Ju's house is located, a snack bar was opened across the street more than [-] meters away from the back door of Pei's house. It only sold soup dumplings. Since it opened, the business has been good. It's also simple, because the soup dumplings sold in this store are affordable and delicious.Even Master Pei Ju likes to eat it, so the people nearby also want to try it. How can the simple buns be favored by this important figure in the court.

The business is good, and the owner of this small shop is naturally happy.

In his opinion, Pei Ju is his God of Wealth, and it is precisely because Mr. Pei Ju often patronizes his small shop that the business is getting better and better.In just three days, the owner of this small shop surnamed Wang knew the habits of Mr. Pei Ju. He got up every morning before dawn, and ordered the cook to carefully cook a few steamed buns, and then prepare some light and delicate side dishes. After serving a pot of porridge, he can go to the door of the small shop and wait in person.

Pei Ju had the habit of getting up early, and usually got up when it was still dark, and practiced Wu Qinxi for a while in the small back garden of his house, and then he took a bath and changed clothes to prepare to go to the palace to handle state affairs for the emperor.Ever since the small soup dumpling shop opened, Pei Ju has been fond of this sweet and delicious snack. The carriage always came out from the main entrance and made a circle, and he went to the palace after having breakfast in that small shop.

You can buy a soup dumpling if you eat two pieces of meat a day, so frugal, even the people nearby are full of praise for Mr. Pei Ju.

The sky had just revealed a ray of light, and Boss Wang got up and went to the door to wait.Today he got up half an hour earlier than before, so he looked a little sluggish.Originally, he was not very attractive, his face was always sallow, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but he was born with a sharp tongue, and his flattery was definitely pleasing to the eye.

Sitting on the steps of the door, Boss Wang frowned slightly thinking of the guests who came last night, and said that his life in Jiangdu seemed to be getting more and more difficult.

Just thinking about some headaches, Pei Ju's carriage turned around from the street.Boss Wang got up quickly, and greeted him with a bright chrysanthemum-like smile on his old face.After saying hello to the coachman, he bowed and waited beside the carriage.A servant opened the curtain of the carriage, and then took out a small stool from the carriage and put it on the ground. Only then did the high and powerful Lord Pei Ju come out and stepped on the small stool to get off the carriage.

"Master Pei, you look really good today."

Boss Wang said with a smile.

"good?"

Pei Ju glared at him and asked, "Does your eye look good to me?"

Pei Ju's tone was a bit cold, and Boss Wang immediately said with a smiley face: "Is there something bothering you, sir? I guarantee that you will immediately feel better after eating a basket of today's soup dumplings. Today's buns are different. I specially Let the chef carefully select the shrimps, peel and peel the meat, and then serve them with fresh mushrooms and tender beef. The fillings are fresh and the soup is also fresh. Last night I got up and made a pot of lotus seed porridge by myself. The lotus seeds were picked from the lotus pond in the north of the city just yesterday. The one that came back is the first canopy this year, and I promise you will enjoy it to your heart's content."

Pei Ju glanced at him, sighed and said, "You bastard, don't you know that I'm going to get angry today, so you're so prepared?"

Boss Wang smiled and said, "I open a shop here, how can I do it without your care?"

"Go in and talk."

Pei Ju waved his hand and walked into the shop.Sitting in the private room, Boss Wang hurriedly asked for the prepared breakfast to be delivered. He personally served Pei Ju a bowl of fragrant lotus seed porridge, and added a little sucrose.

Pei Ju took a sip and nodded slightly.

"Wang Qinian, what do you, the head of Yanyun Village, want to do!"

He put down the porcelain spoon, raised his head and asked in a cold voice.

……

……

Pei Ju said in a cold voice: "I am kind enough to recommend in front of His Majesty, risking being scolded by His Majesty, do you think it is easy? Your Majesty has long known that Wen Yidao died in the hands of your Yanyun Village, but I don't know, the danger involved You can't even imagine how big it is! I didn't expect that His Majesty would be kind enough to directly promote you to be the fourth-rank general Wu Benlang, regardless of Wen Yidao. The rebels in Gangzhai and Gaojibo, His Majesty even granted him the high position of chief executive of Qi County! But you are good at being the head of the family, and you actually humiliated and beat the imperial envoy. If I hadn't suppressed it, His Majesty would have known about it. Is the imperial court incapable of dispatching an army to destroy your stockade now?!"

The owner of this steamed stuffed bun shop is Wang Qinian, who has been handling the bribery of Pei Ju and Yu Shiji for the past six months, and the secrets and movements of the imperial court are all sent out from this small steamed stuffed bun shop. Yunzhai's.His shop is regarded as Yanyunzhai's stronghold in Jiangdu Mingchu, and because he wants to contact court officials like Pei Ju and Yu Shiji, he has to put it on the bright side.In Jiangdu, there are naturally many people deployed in the dark in Yanyun Village. After all, Yang Guang plans to live here for a long time, and a lot of information is very important.

Seeing that Pei Ju was really angry, Wang Qinian quickly said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, please calm down, don't hurt your body... Actually, you also know that our master was originally from the army, and he was thinking about the imperial court. When we were in Liaodong, our master You have made a lot of military exploits, my lord, you know that too. If it wasn’t for that old thief Yu Wenshu who sincerely squeezed and made things difficult, even if we accumulated military merits, we might have reached the position of General Wu Ben as the leader of our family.”

He paused and said: "Furthermore, my lord does not know that Wagangzhai has occupied Dongjun for several years, and even the people of Dongjun are on their side, with no less than 15 troops, and they also occupy the land and people. Conquering and suppressing... is difficult. In addition, Dou Jiande in Hebei has a stronger army than Zhai Rang in Wagang Village, no less than [-]! Moreover, Dou Jiande is now self-proclaimed king, occupying several states, and has enough soldiers and food. How can our people in Yanyun Village be able to fight? The seemingly extraordinary reward from His Majesty is actually just an empty official position, without food and supplies, this battle is not easy to fight."

"Ugh……"

Pei Ju sighed and said, "I've also heard a little bit about what happened in Liaodong. At that time, the whole army was defeated, but Yan Yun came back with his men and horses, and made great achievements many times. Yu Wenshu's narrow-minded man naturally couldn't tolerate him. Your Majesty is also very sorry about this incident, but now that the Yuwen family has lost power, you don't have to worry about returning to the court."

He thought for a while and said: "But even so, he shouldn't beat the imperial envoy! If His Majesty knows, can you still have good fruits from Yanyun Village?"

"Adults don't know something!"

Wang Qinian said indignantly: "The first thing the eunuch who announced the decree came to Yanyun Village was to ask for bribes. He was unwilling to give 20 taels of gold. What did he say in front of His Majesty that our Yanyun Village people were rebellious? You also know that some of our big bosses have heroes, all of whom are very irritable, how can we bear the eunuch's cockiness? If our big boss didn't stop him, I'm afraid we could beat the eunuch to death."

"never mind"

Pei Ju waved his hand and said: "Don't mention this matter, I have seen the people sent by your head last night, and your head is too arrogant, just open your mouth and ask for [-] sets of government soldiers' armor and weapons, and two more A hundred yellow dragon clippers, this is simply a joke!"

"It can be negotiated..."

Wang Qinian smiled, handed over a hot soup dumpling and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please say something kindly in front of His Majesty, as long as you can win more for our Yanyun Village. When the time comes, we will naturally forget about it." I can't help you. Your prestige in the court is unmatched, and it's not just a matter of one sentence. Besides..."

Wang Qinian said seriously: "If this matter is accomplished, Yanyun Village will be your support outside the court. With tens of thousands of soldiers from my Yanyun Village, tell me, my lord, what else do you need to worry about?"

Pei Ju's heart moved, and he couldn't help laughing.

……

……

Yang Guang leaned on the bed, looked at Pei Ju and Yu Shiji who stood respectfully aside, his face was a bit ugly, and there was still a burst of anger between his brows.It's just that he refrained from having an attack, even so, the cold gaze still made Pei Ju and Yu Shiji a little scared.

"A rebel, I made an exception and gave him a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, and he still wants to ask for benefits from me?"

Yang Guang stared into Pei Ju's eyes and asked, "Do you know how much armor is in the warehouse of the Ministry of War for [-] sets of military equipment? If you don't know, just ask Yang Yichen! Two hundred Huanglong Clippers are also needed. He ships, so he can lead his troops straight down to Jiangdu? Pei Ju, are you confused!"

Pei Ju hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I dare not answer Yan Yun's matter, nor do I dare to lose the dignity of the court. Yesterday, the man sent by Yan Yun was beaten out by the minister, not to mention [-] sets of government soldiers." Armor, not to mention two hundred yellow dragon clippers, even if it is a grain of rice, a piece of cloth, or a pair of straw sandals, I dare not make decisions privately. The mountains and rivers belong to His Majesty, and all things in the world belong to His Majesty. Your Majesty says that you will only be rewarded if you reward them. I got... Yanyun acted recklessly, I feel that the recruiting will stop here, and I can dispatch the troops from the Eastern Capital and General Xue Shixiong of the left guard to go south to conquer."

Yu Shiji couldn't help but praise in his heart
