Chapter 145: Continuing to blackmail Zhu Xi
"Thank you for your kindness to fulfill your wishes!
In this way, several years later, when people mentioned the revenge of Yan Yun by the official family, the descendants of the weak ministers could raise their heads and speak hard!"
Jiang Chen kept flattering, as if it was a foregone conclusion to recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun.
"Okay, okay! This is a great contribution, and I will count you as a good minister!"
Song Huizong couldn't stop smiling and believed Jiang Chen's nonsense.
"Please count the old ministers as well!"
"The old minister is willing to hold a horse and fall into stirrups for the official family!"
"To be honest, the old minister practiced it when he was young..."
Seeing that Song Huizong was in great interest, He Zhizhong and others followed suit and flattered him.
Cai Jing and Wang Fu knew that they would not be able to cheat Jiang Chen today, so they had no choice but to "drink soup" with everyone.
When he knelt on the ground, he felt a sense of anger when he was abandoned by his teammates!
He said to Song Huizong unwillingly: "The official family, I will also be the pioneer for you! But all my servants were taken away by Jiang Chen.
There are 5,000 people, so you have to leave a thousand people for me, right?"
this……
Song Huizong looked embarrassed.
Just as he was about to ask He Shu to select some more people from other wing troops, Liang Shicheng suddenly smiled and suggested, "Officials, Jiang Chen did this too much!
Since he and He Shu were not giving in, why not let them compete and decide how to stay or stay for the five hundred-box imperial guards?"
"I wonder what Lord Liang wants them to compete in? Is it a comparison of poetry?"
Yang Jian asked with a vigilant look on his face.
"How to compare poetry and lyrics is naturally not Jiang Chen's opponent! For the sake of fairness, let them compete in tea ceremony?"
While Liang Shicheng spoke, he directly shook his eyes to Cai Jing, Wang Fu and others.
Those who serve Song Huizong's close friends have a skill in making tea that is far beyond ordinary people, so how can Liang Shicheng be confident about it?
"Okay! Better than a tea ceremony!"
"The old minister just happened to be a little thirsty!"
"The proposal of Neiguan Liang is very elegant and reasonable, I will discuss it!"
Cai Jing and Wang Fu and a large group of people immediately agreed.
"I also think this suggestion is very good! I just wonder if Lord Jiang dares to compare?"
He Shu looked at Jiang Chen with full confidence, with his eyes full of provocation.
When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help laughing strangely, and looked at He Zu playfully and said, "He Tiju, are you really sure you want to compete with me in the tea ceremony?"
Um?
He Zuo looked surprised and suspicious: "What? Is there any problem?"
Song Huizong couldn't help but ask, "Good minister, do you still understand the tea ceremony?"
"Go back to the official home!
If you compare the tea-making technique, Weichen can only accept the disadvantage, but..."
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, and then said confidently: "If you compare who made the tea better! Then Weichen is quite confident to compete with He Tiju!"
"oh?
OK! Since the good ministers have no objection, you will have a competition today to determine the ownership rights of those imperial guards!"
Song Huizong immediately became interested and asked Jiang Chen to compete with He Shu on the spot.
"Yes, my servant follows the order!"
"I obey the order!"
After Jiang Chen and He Shu bowed at the same time, He Shu became busy immediately, but Jiang Chen watched him busy leisurely.
This made Song Huizong, Cai Jing and others confused.
Zhang Shangying and Yang Jian, who had drunk Lu Yi, looked at He Shu mockingly and shook their heads in secret.
Compared to fried tea Luyi, ordering tea can only be regarded as an artistic tea soup and is simply incomparable.
He Shu didn't know the existence of fried tea, and he had never even heard of it.
Seeing Jiang Chen staring at him with a smile, he said angrily, "Jiang Chen, why are you always staring at me? Why don't you make your tea?"
"The tea can be done in an instant, so don't worry! Keep going, the teacher is waiting for you!"
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile.
"It can be done in an instant?"
Song Huizong, Zhao Fujin and others were all surprised.
"Really or not?"
He Shu glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise.
Then he didn't dare to be distracted anymore, so he used a small spoon to divide the tea into several bowls and rinse it into boiling water.
Brew and stir quickly to allow the tea powder to be fully mixed with boiling water. This is called "tarting tea". A layer of milky white foam will appear on the ordered tea soup, like cappuccino.
The amount of foam and the time it exists are called chewing cups, which is the most important basis for winning in tea making.
As a person serving Song Huizong, He Shu had no need to say much about the skills of tea-making. As soon as the bubble came out, he immediately won everyone's applause and applause.
This made He Shu feel extremely proud. While sharing tea for Song Huizong and everyone, he looked at Jiang Chen provocatively and said:
"Jiang Chen, why haven't you started yet? Are you planning to admit defeat? If you are willing to admit defeat, then this official will be fine as long as you hand over the rebel Ruan Xingyun, and the other imperial guards will still send you a gift. How about it?"
"Rebel?"
Jiang Chen shook his head: "He Tiju misunderstood Ruan Xingyun and the others! Zhu Xie built a more luxurious paradise than Yanfu Palace in the area occupied by Jiangnan, and collected more beautiful women than the official family to offer their lust.
Ruan Xingyun and the others mistakenly thought that Zhu Xie wanted to become the emperor, so they resisted. It would be a bit unfair to say that they were rebels!"
Um?
A more luxurious paradise than Yanfu Palace?
Is there more women than me?
Promise yourself as emperor?
When Song Huizong heard this, he frowned deeply. It was not the first time he had heard about Zhu Xie. Cai Jing had explained it to him before, and he always felt that it was a rumor, but after hearing it too much, he would inevitably have suspicion in his heart.
Seeing this, Cai Jing screamed, and immediately stood up and scolded Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, how can you believe the mere rebels' words? You even took them to the officials and said, are you intentionally slandering the officials?"
"Whether it is true or false, let the Imperial City Department go and check it out!
If everyone says this, it may not be a rumor! What if it is true?”
Li Gang suddenly spoke coldly.
Zheng Juzhong nodded and echoed: "It's better to check it out, otherwise Zhu Xie really rebelled in Jiangnan, and Cai Xiang was afraid that he would not be able to escape responsibility!"
"It's just a joke!
Zhu Xie has always been loyal. Not to mention other places, he presented nine out of ten strange stones in Yanfu Palace. Those who have no evidence should consider such heroes as criminals. Which family’s reason is this?”
Cai Jing was anxious and directly mentioned Zhu Xie's past "commendation" in his hope to dispel Song Huizong's suspicion.
After saying that, he glared at Jiang Chen with great pain and said, "Jiang Chen, if you fight tea, don't rely on the favor of the officials to slander the court officials!"
"The subordinates are just saying fair words to their subordinates, don't panic!"
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
He didn't expect to do anything to Zhu Xie in one go, but he understood that he would not believe that he would not kill the man-eating beast if he was with Song Huizong every day!
Thinking of this, he glanced at the tea brought by He Shu and shook his head with disgust: "I will never want to drink this kind of tea soup again!???
Let’s taste the true charm of tea!”
