Chapter 26 Threats from the Imperial City Division
For Ye An, the efficiency of Kaifeng Mansion was really shockingly low. People from the Imperial City Division had already "captured" several communicators, but Kaifeng Mansion actually only caught some drunken people.
Yes, Ye An personally sent people to spread it from the beginning, but it was only spread a little, and some people who slandered the imperial court or were dissatisfied with the imperial court were also arrested.
Of course, many of them are people who plan to "live with rare goods" and become vassals in order to please Zhao Yuanyan.
Wang Bowen's memorial was sent to the palace, and Zhao Zhen immediately "suddenly realized" after reading it. This incident was only a warning to Zhao Yuanyan and could not be used as a punishment. After all, he was indeed innocent.
But the effect was very obvious. Zhao Yuanyan became more honest in an instant, and Zhao Zhen also asked Chen Tong to send comforting gifts. Although they were worthless rewards, in the eyes of outsiders, they were already considered to be quite preferential treatment.
Ye An, on the other hand, came to visit in person to express the fact that the Imperial City Division had rectified his name.
Looking at the wide courtyard in front of him, Ye An suddenly felt that the Hou Mansion he was so proud of no longer smelled good.
What does it mean to have a spacious courtyard, and what does it mean to be magnificent?
In fact, Zhao Yuanyan's mansion is like a palace. After all, he is a real prince. Isn't the prince's mansion second only to the palace?
The old Zhao family has never treated relatives badly, and the specifications of Prince Jing's Palace are similar to Gyeongbokgung Palace to a certain extent.
When the steward at the door saw Ye An, he immediately sang Fei Nai and stepped forward: "I never thought that Ye Hou would come, so I will inform His Highness now!"
Although the etiquette was extremely thorough, the sentence "His Royal Highness King Jing" still reminded Ye An of his different status.
Ye An smiled nonchalantly and said, "That way I can take care of things."
The steward was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "The Marquis even knows the villain's surname, I am extremely honored!"
As expected, he is from the royal palace. His words are impeccable but he can inadvertently find out information. Ye An raised his eyebrows and said: "I was promoted by the Imperial City Secretary. How can I not know about the things in Tokyo City? If I even
Manager Zhang of Prince Jing’s Mansion doesn’t even know about it, so the boys from the Detective Department should be punished!”
Manager Zhang's expression froze, but then he gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Master Hou is strict in his rule, I admire him!"
Zhao Yuanyan was quite surprised by Ye An's arrival, but he was relieved when he thought about his mission. The officials gave him a reward and asked Ye An, the Imperial City Secretary, to come here, naturally to appease his fear.
.
It's a pity that things didn't turn out as big as he expected, otherwise he could have taken the opportunity to disrupt the situation in Tokyo.
In the flower hall of Prince Jing's Mansion, Ye An received warm hospitality from Zhao Yuanyan.
After all, he was also the founding prince of the Song Dynasty. Although he could not match the title of Zhao Yuanyan, who made Ye An a close confidant of Zhao Zhen? Zhao Yuanyan was willing to give Ye An three points of favor, both emotionally and rationally.
The fine dragon tea has camellia flowers floating in the cup, and the fragrance of the fruit from the preserved fruits is really memorable. The price of this cup of tea is enough to have a meal at the best restaurant in Tokyo.
"What do you think of tea, Marquis Ye?"
Facing Zhao Yuanyan's greetings, Ye An said with 120% enthusiasm: "The tea tastes mellow and fruity. If Xiaohou guessed correctly, dried peaches should be added to it!"
Zhao Yuanyan smiled and said: "Haha, Ye Hou is really a good tea, and he has the three flavors of tea!"
"Ye An is not very good at tasting tea, but my Puhui store has already had your fruit tea, and there are also a variety of fruit flavors to choose from..." Ye An smiled awkwardly, while Zhao Yuanyan played with these in front of him.
It’s really not enough to watch.
People in the Song Dynasty liked to play with tea in a fancy way, but they knew that people in later generations would play with it even more. Fruit tea, scented tea, milk tea, honey tea, etc. were already the internal tea drinks of Puhui Company, but they were just worried that the market would be affected by it.
The unprecedented impact was not all presented at once.
But Ye An's words made Zhao Yuanyan look ugly. Although he quickly changed his attitude, as a prince of the Song Dynasty, he still felt uncomfortable being slapped in the face by Ye An, a small Yunzhong prince.
After all, he was also a prince of the Song Dynasty who had experienced three dynasties. Zhao Yuanyan quickly adjusted his mentality, looked at Ye Anming and asked, "I wonder why Ye Hou came here this time?"
Zhao Yuanyan pretended to be dumbfounded, and Ye An also pretended to be surprised and said: "King Jing doesn't know yet? There are rumors about you flying all over the sky in Tokyo!"
"Marquis Ye said it was just a rumor, so it is naturally untrue. I stand upright, so what should I worry about?"
Facing Zhao Yuanyan, who had a stern look on his face, Ye An raised his voice and said: "The people have a rumor that King Jing is the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. What's more, it is even said that before the death of the late emperor, he raised his finger to his chest and made three and five. That's right.
For King Jing..."
"absurd!"
Zhao Yuanyan finally changed his expression. At this time, he looked at Ye An, who was smiling in front of him, as if he had seen an evil ghost!
This was a frame-up, and it was a naked threat. Zhao Yuanyan knew Ye An's warning and was not even afraid to tell him that the rumors this time came from him, Ye An.
Once there will be a next time, the so-called Marshal of Soldiers and Horses can be regarded as a joke by others, but if Ye An lets out what he just said, then no matter how big the city of Tokyo is, no matter how generous the officials are, they will not be able to accommodate him.
!
At that time, not only the officials, but also the courtiers, clan members, and relatives will abandon him instantly, not daring to have any contamination!
"Ye Hou is really unscrupulous! He is so vicious!"
Ye An smiled: "If you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door! As King Jing said, rumors are rumors after all, but if they are not upright, it will be a reminder of death! Please understand King Jing."
Zhao Yuanyan's face immediately became sad: "I have never had any evil thoughts! Why should the officials and the family press each other so hard? Could it be that my Zhao family will eventually be so jealous?"
"Why do you and I need to hide it now? The chamberlains in the palace have been thoroughly investigated by our Imperial City Department. Didn't King Jing notice that there were more new faces and fewer old acquaintances when he came to the palace during this period?"
Zhao Yuanyan looked at Ye An in shock. He didn't care about this at first. After all, his connection with the palace was quite secretive. If he left the ceremony to others, he would never end up personally. But now that he thinks about it, this is the case!
Before he could come to his senses, Ye An said again: "Chang Sheng knows that your arrangements in the palace will not be wiped out, but as time goes by, those people will eventually show their flaws. What does King Jing think? Once, twice,
Three times, how many times do you think the officials will tolerate it? Taizu said that a couch lying on its side can allow others to sleep soundly!"
If it was a vague threat just now, this time Ye An made it clear. Zhao Yuanyan, who had just calmly displayed his majesty as a prince, was sweating profusely.
"I don't know what Ye Hou means!"
Although the words were forceful, there was a hint of prayer in Zhao Yuanyan's voice. He knew that Ye An could do what he said. If Zhao Zhen wanted to kill himself, he would not let Ye An come to warn him.
Ye An filled Zhao Yuanyan with fruit tea and brought it over himself before saying: "King Jing is a smart man. Since Chang Sheng has revealed all this, it means that the officials care about the relationship between the clan and do not want to break up, otherwise... we will have to...
Know that the fate and reputation of losers are like a cesspool!"
Seeing that Zhao Yuanyan was about to speak, Ye An quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything to Changsheng. I just came to visit and gave you a kind reminder! What's more, what you say is not important, how you do it is the most important thing! Your Majesty, stay here, Changsheng
Farewell!"
After Ye An finished speaking, he left without any hesitation. From beginning to end, he treated Zhao Yuanyan with a gentle tone and a respectful attitude. However, his words were like a sharp and cold arrow, making Zhao Yuanyan on the other side tremble with fear.
