Chen Yan is very troublesome, and it's not worth taking his place for Huang Laosi.
But Cao Hu was very happy because he had a job.
After Cao Hu finished eating three chickens, a jar of turbid wine, a pound of dried meat, two pots of pickles and a basket of pancakes by himself, he could temporarily live in the Qianqiying Yamen.
After Chu Qing returned to the class room, Jiang Yuesheng followed him in, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Sir, it is true that the imperial court owes a lot to the Hunv tribe. However, this is not just the responsibility of Honglu Temple. The imperial court is also involved. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with our Qianqi Camp."
"It doesn't matter, but if we want to build Honglu Temple, it will matter."
Jiang Yuesheng was very confused.
Chu Qing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's the New Year's Day soon, and the Emperor's birthday is coming soon. Just in time, you will ask Cao Hu to write a letter to the Lake Girl. If you don't know how to write a letter, just the whole token or something."
Yes, send someone to Hu City to ask how many tigers, leopards, etc. the Hu Girl tribe wants, get a few large iron cages, put them on a carriage, transport them back, and deliver them to the Zhaoyang Palace to the Supreme Emperor."
Jiang Yuesheng shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, if you do this, wouldn't you become a sycophant?"
"I was having a drink with the Supreme Emperor a few days ago, and he bragged to me that he could tear tigers and leopards alive. I didn't believe him. I wanted to see it for myself."
Jiang Yuesheng: “…”
"Oh, what a joke. The emperor has abdicated. He has no real power at all. The old man and old lady are not interesting in the palace. It is good to have a small pet or something. By the way, let Cao Hu write it clearly. If you want a cub, he won't do it.
Send me the whole adult dog, and then the emperor will tear it apart."
Jiang Yuesheng was upset and left. He was afraid that if he continued to listen, he would be easily punished by the Nine Clan.
Chu Qing was having fun and was nervous.
Fu San knew Chu Qing too well and asked, "Master, do you have any other plans?"
"That's right, one person is not very convincing when it comes to filing a complaint."
Jiang Yuesheng came back, pushed the door open and walked in. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Then Cao Hu said, if you want tiger and leopard, you can get it, one hundred thousand guan."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely: "It's always the same, whether you like it or not."
After a stick of incense, Jiang Yuesheng struggled four times in succession, and finally settled the deal for 600 Wen each, buy ten and get one free.
…………
Honglu Temple, in the main hall.
Yu Tianlun was sitting on the stool with a gloomy expression on his face.
"You came to Honglu Temple for no reason and squatted outside the door for a long time?"
"Yes." Zhang Daliang replied worriedly: "I heard from the gatekeeper that he was squatting under the tree for an hour. After the barbarians in Hucheng were driven out, Deputy Commander Chu followed him and gave him another
It’s embarrassing for me to be a lower-ranking official.”
I have to say that the reputation of Qianqiying is so scary. Even in his own government office, Zhang Daliang would subconsciously call him official instead of calling Chu Qing by his first name. He was afraid that Qianqiying would suddenly appear under the table.
Ying Tanma laughed loudly. If you dare to call my elders by their names, I will stab you to death!
"I think it's because of what happened at the auction house the night before..."
Yu Tianlun snorted slightly: "I am not afraid of him, but now that the martial arts performance day is coming, it is not good to tolerate him for a while. After the martial arts performance, I have made great achievements, the emperor Longyan is very happy, Honglu Temple has won the reward, and then we will join hands to impeach him
Give him some advice so that he can learn that we, Honglu Temple, are not easy to bully."
Many people are like this. If they punish others, it is natural. If others punish them, they feel that they are being bullied.
After taking a sip of tea, Yu Tianlun asked: "Are all the envoys from various countries relieved?"
"I told you, just like in previous years, it won't disgrace the imperial court. It's just that the Yingdao mission has asked for more money."
"How many?"
"Then the envoy said that losing every year would be an insult to the honor of a warrior. If we lose again this year, we will give him an extra hundred thousand guan."
Yu Tianlun didn't know what he cursed in a low voice, and said impatiently: "Just give it, let several people share a share, it's not a lot of money."
"One more thing. Liangrong changed its mission a month ago, and a little prince came. This man seems to be difficult to deal with."
"Is there anything difficult to deal with? I have collected money in previous years, and I will collect it this year. It is just a matter of giving more, and let Yu Shaoqing convince them."
"Your Majesty understands."
Then he walked forward to get some tea for Yu Tianlun, and then Zhang Daliang walked backwards and left the main hall.
Yu Tianlun, who was sitting alone in the room, showed a proud expression.
After the martial arts performance day, Honglu Temple will make great achievements again, and the Emperor Longyan will be delighted. If he is lucky, he might even be rewarded with a title.
The so-called martial arts day is when countries send warriors to compete and compete.
It happened in previous years. I stopped talking about it a few years ago and just said that after the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, the Chang Dynasty never lost.
It has nothing to do with whether the warriors of the Chang Dynasty were brave or not. The main reason is that Yu Tianlun, the minister of Honglu Temple, made a small move.
Before the martial arts performance day, he will greet the diplomatic missions of various countries in advance and give you as much money as you want, so that you will lose on purpose.
So every year after winning, the emperor would reward Honglu Temple. It's not that the emperor knew that Honglu Temple was up to something secretly, but that the job of Honglu Temple was to appease the mission.
Everyone gets what they need. Although Chang Chao spent money, he won and gained prestige.
Although the missions from other countries lost, they took advantage of it. Honglu Temple wanted to give them a large sum of money. After losing, the court also rewarded them with a sum of money in order to show their so-called magnanimity.
, it should be considered as the cost of decoction and mental loss.
In addition, after these envoys returned to their respective countries, they would always claim that they had lost on purpose. Even though they lost people in Chang Dynasty, when they returned to their respective territories, they all accused Chang Dynasty of being stupid and dying for money.
An enemy who wants to save face.
Huang Laosi only ascended the throne a few years ago, so this year is the first time that the new king has watched a martial arts performance. If Honglu Temple can handle this job well, the emperor will definitely reward him. The other Laosi is a general on horseback, so he will vote for him.
So good.
In fact, Huang Laosi really takes this matter very seriously.
At this time, in the palace, Huang Laosi was sitting behind the desk in Jingyi Hall, looking through the roster.
There are less than two months until the martial arts performance day, and Huang Laosi personally selects the contestants.
"If we say that the real tiger warriors are the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion in addition to the border troops, then we must say that the Xiongzhi warriors in the capital who are more brave than the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion must be the Suwei."
Sun An nodded in agreement: "Most of the Su Wei came from your own army back then, so naturally each of them is brave enough to be the best in the three armies."
"No." Huang Laosi closed the roster and said with a arrogant look: "If we let the guards go into battle, it would be too flattering to them. Let's select two hundred guards. There is no need to make any preparations and pass it out.
, then you should think that I don’t have the confidence.”
Sun An was convinced.
The Su Wei were the emperor's personal soldiers back then, and their combat prowess can be imagined. They are all warriors who have fought in hundreds of battles. If they won, they would be a bit of a bully.
As for the Imperial Guards, they were elites selected from the Eight Battalions and had almost no chance of losing. In addition, Chang Chao had never lost in any martial arts performance in the past few years, so there was nothing to worry about.
