Chapter 172 The fragrance of flowers(1/2)

Zhu Xie’s old nest is in Suzhou because he is from Suzhou.

When Fang La was uprising, he used the slogan to kill Zhu Xie.

The root cause is that Zhu Xie's Huashigang made the whole Jiangnan people miserable and everyone wants to eat their bones and sleep with their skin.

Historical records show that Zhao Ji was drooping his mind about strange flowers and stones, while Zhu Jie was looking for rare flowers and stones in Zhejiang to offer them.

But you can only believe half of the history books after the Han Dynasty.

The real reason is that Zhao Ji, who likes luxury, has no money. He bought Jiangnan in the name of Hua Shigang.

But he wanted face, so Zhu Xie was just a dirty glove for work.

Just think about it simply, how could the people in Jiangnan go bankrupt and sell their sons and daughters when looking for stones by Taihu Lake?

The truth behind it is that Zhu Xie is helping Zhao Ji get money.

And the flower stone group is just a name for scraping.

While Zhu Xie was making money for Zhao Ji, he did not forget his pockets.

His house was built as a palace as a royal palace, with servants and maids. The land under his name reached hundreds of thousands of acres.

Moreover, he is not alone, his father, brother, son and nephew have all become the domineering Jiangdong with his power.

Theoretically, Wang Xiao and Zhu Xie are people on two roads.

Before, Wang Xiao was thinking about how to join Zhu Xie, but he didn't expect that he would come to invite him on his own initiative. This saved Wang Xiao a lot of effort.

When Wang Xiao went to Zhu Xie's house to attend the banquet, in the city of Bianliang thousands of miles away, the prime minister Wang Fu hurried into the palace to see Zhao Ji.

In Zixiao Palace, Zhao Ji, who was meditating and practicing in Taoist robe, took the tea handed over by Liang Shicheng, "What's the matter with you here? But what's the news about the Northern Expedition Army?"

Wang Fu bowed respectfully and said, "The officials, the weak ministers did not come for the Northern Expedition, but for the Jiangnan area."

Zhao Ji was even more confused now, "Jiangnan, haven't the remnants of Fang La's party been pacified? What else can I do?"

Wang Fu took out a stack of letters from his wide cuffs and handed them to Liang Shicheng.

After a concealed look with Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu said carefully, "The Wu Fu Envoy seized a batch of letters from Fang La's nest. Because he involved important officials in the court, he did not dare to send them to Bianliang City without any specialization. After seeing it, I was frightened and asked Your Majesty to take a look."

When Zhao Ji heard what Wang Fu said so seriously, he became curious.

After taking the letter and opening it up and reading it, my face turned extremely ugly after a while.

"Dog thief! How dare you deceive the monarch!"

These letters were written by someone to Fang La, which said that the two discussed using Fang La to annex the Southeast financial resources. They also secretly funded food, fodder and weapons, and provided information on the official army to make Fang La bigger. After the matter was completed, the two divided the river and divided the world of Zhao and Song equally.

All the letters are signed by one person.

Zhu Xie.

After being furious, Zhao Ji asked in confusion, "Didn't Fang La traitors raise an army in the name of attacking Zhu Xie? How could they get together?"

"I also think this matter is too strange and I specially ordered someone to review it strictly." Wang Fu said, "After checking these letters, it was confirmed that it was indeed Zhu Xie's handwriting. Even the mark used was Zhu Xie's private seal."

Zhao Ji's face was red and white. He still couldn't believe that the loyal Zhu Jie would betray him and wanted to seek the world of Zhao Song.

"Official family."

Liang Shicheng, who was standing by, suddenly spoke up and gave him an assist. "I heard that Zhu Jie's house is vast, comparable to the imperial palace. He has transcended the rules in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. He even secretly saved thousands of dead soldiers and armored soldiers, named as imperial guards. He also forged an edict to occupy the house. There are proverbs among the people that 'Gold belt, silver belt, Zhu's house in the Zhao family.' This person is quite ambitious."

If you want to talk about why Liang Shicheng joined forces with his political enemy Wang Fu at this time, it is because Zhu Xie is essentially a person who belongs to Cai Jing.

Zhu Xie, his son Zhu rushed away the Cai Jing line, and only then did Zhu Xie get close to Zhao Ji through Cai Jing and gain a follow-up to him.

Among the various factions of the court, Liang Shicheng was known as the hidden minister and never dealt with Cai Jing.

Not to mention Wang Fu, he only became the prime minister after he got involved in Cai Jing.

Even though there were conflicts between them, they were real ally in the field of Cai Jing.

The reason why Cai Jing was able to be restored to the position four times after Zhao Ji went to the court was not because his calligraphy was beautiful, but because he could get money for Zhao Ji.

Zhu Xie, who made money from Jiangdong, is an important arm of Cai Jing.

"Official family." Wang Fu began to fill the soil for Zhu Xie. "If you want to know whether Zhu Xie has a rebellious intention, just send someone to search his house. If there is a letter from Fang Ni, everything will be revealed to the world."

Zhao Ji said he favored this and believed that. But in fact, he was the only one who truly cherished and believed in him.

The ministers under his command have obtained evidence after having a strange intention, so it is impossible not to investigate carefully.

"Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to my dear."

"yes."

------

"The pacifier is here, and the brilliance is shining."

Zhu Xie, wearing a brocade robe and a blessed face, smiled and greeted Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao looked at Zhu Xie, who was like a big merchant in front of him, and also bowed to him to "see the defensive envoy."

Zhu Xie has a formal official position, and he is the Hezhou Defense Envoy. Of course, this is just a name that is held.

"Please come in quickly." Zhu Xie smiled and walked forward, pulling Wang Xiao's arm towards the door.

Zhu Xie's house was very big, and the servants at home were all dressed in luxury. When they came to the backyard, the walking maids all had beautiful faces, wearing gold and silver.

The pavilions and towers in the house, and the garden and lake water are extremely exquisite and beautiful.

"Please sit down."

In the spacious hall, Zhu Xie, who had always kept a kind smile, arranged for Wang Xiao to sit down. He clapped his hands, and a group of maids in colorful clothes came forward with various delicacies.

The dishes are exquisite and the ingredients are exquisite.

Zhu Xie clapped his hands again, and music sounded in the corridors on both sides. A group of bright and beautiful singers stepped forward and danced gracefully.

The environment is good and the atmosphere is good.

Moreover, Zhu Xie is proficient in the way of flattery. Although he is like an evil ghost in front of the people, he can not only pull himself in his body when he needs flattery, but also keep talking nonsense, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

After eating and drinking, the singers retreated.

The plates and wine glasses were removed and tea was immediately served.

Wang Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This tea is good."

Zhu Xie immediately called outside to "Go and take three jin of dragon group Shengxue and send it to the comfort envoy's mansion."

Longtuan Shengxue is a royal tribute tea restructured by Zheng Kejian, which is extremely precious. It is hailed as a myth in the history of Chinese tea making. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xie gave it to him by pound.

Although he had decided to get rid of Zhu Xie and give peace to the people in Jiangnan, Xiao Rang's reply letter was prepared long ago, just waiting to fill Zhu Xie.

But Zhu Xie's warm hospitality still made Wang Xiao feel a little embarrassed.

Then he took the three kilograms of dragon balls, Shengxue.

Although Wang Xiao had drunk various tribute teas in other worlds, Longtuan Shengxue was lost after the Huizong Dynasty, leaving only an eternal legend.

The "Record of the Tribute Tea in the Northern Garden" records: "In the Gengzi year of Xuanhe, the Cao minister Zheng Gong Jian started to create silver thread water buds. He picked the cooked buds and then removed them. He only took a wisp of his heart and used a precious utensil to store the clear springs and soaked them. It was bright and bright, like silver threads. It was made of a square inch and a small dragon winding it up, and it was called Longyuan to better than snow."

"The beauty of tea is so great that it is the best snow. The work value per catty is 40,000 yuan, and the cost is amazing. It is exclusively for the emperor to enjoy."

He had never drunk this tea before.

I ate the rice, drank the wine, watched the dance, and collected the tea.

Next, it's time to talk about the serious business.

Zhu Xie complained that Fang La was a mess of the errands of the Yingfeng Bureau of Jiangnan.

Now that he has returned from his post, he has returned to reorganization of Yingfeng Bureau, but there are countless unruly people everywhere, fighting against errands, making his affairs difficult to handle.

Zhu Xie said that he wanted to ask Wang Xiao to help send troops to suppress those unruly people who refused to pay.

Faced with such unreasonable requests, what else can Wang Xiao do? Of course he agreed.

Anyway, Zhu Xie couldn't jump for long, so he just fooled him a few words, just to act as a good person and good deed to give him peace of mind.

Seeing that Wang Xiao was doing things so happily, Zhu Xie laughed happily.

After drinking the tea, Zhu Xie invited Wang Xiao to the back house to enjoy the flowers.

The back house is very big and beautiful, so there is no need to say much.

However, what Zhu Xie said about appreciating flowers is not in the garden, but in a beautiful three-story building.

"Please give the comforting envoy a peace of mind to enjoy the flowers. I still have some mundane things to do. Let's say goodbye first."

Wang Xiao had long seen the routines of these people.

He nodded righteously and said, "Please give me some advice. I can do it myself."

I opened the door and walked into the building. It was indeed a cluster of flowers inside, and all kinds of charming flowers rushed over like the spring breeze.

"The fragrance of flowers is so beautiful that it is really a beauty on earth."

Wang Xiao enjoyed the flowers for an afternoon, and I don’t know how many delicate flowers I picked. It was not until the night fell outside and I started to hold the lights. He then left here reluctantly with the fragrance of flowers.

After leaving Zhu Xie's mansion, Wang Xiao did not go back directly. Instead, he went to Han Shizhong's temporary mansion in Hangzhou City.
