In the meeting hall,? The tea boy is kneeling on the futon and holding the dial to turn over the gold charcoal in the stove. The copper pot above it is gurgling and steaming.
Li Yuanmin completed a set of processes of ironing the pot, washing tea, soaking, and filtering? Only then did he stick to a pair of slender and white hands and pour hot tea for the person in front of him, with a gentle smile on his face: "My lord, look at this book. How is the king's skill?"
Xue Zaixing picked up Yipin, and repeatedly praised it.
The reason for his visit this time is that he got a good tea and came to taste it with him. This kind of good tea is not common. It is a tribute Yuqian jade. Lingnan is naturally a rich place for tea production. The Yuqian emerald jade that is tributed to Yuqian every year is a unique specialty here. There are five urns a year, which is extremely precious.
Private use of royal tributes is a violation of the regulations,? Li Yuanmin is such a cautious person,? How could he make such a simple mistake, but he didn't realize it-it's not that he couldn't find an excuse to refuse, but Understand the meaning of the other party's move: this is treating him as one of his own.
Is Li Yuanmin the kind of person who doesn't know what to do? He just pushed the boat along with the flow, and accepted his kindness.
Now the world is about to change hands,? The important minister next to the eldest prince is a role he can never afford to offend, not to mention that the elder brother is already suspicious of him now, and he has to rely on this servant to deal with him.
He is not the kind of person who can't let go of his figure, and he also despicably uses his cat-scratching thoughts to treat him as if he is far away. The other party hinted at a possibility? It took a lot of effort.
He is not afraid that the other party will pester him for too long, because this person is about to fall.
The eldest prince Li Yuanqian was full of suspicion, and he failed to seize the throne? It was because of this suspicion. In his previous life, when Emperor Mingde was dying of illness, he issued a decree to make him the crown prince. When the position of the East Palace was stabilized, he couldn't wait to abolish Xue Zaixing and decentralize the power to several people, so that the army in the Jiangbei camp was divided, and it was impossible to fight against Sima. family.
Thinking of the imminent collapse of the person in front of him, Li Yuan felt vigilant, and he would not let himself make mistakes at this critical moment.
"Didn't your lord fight against water bandits in Jiangbei? Why are you here to taste tea so leisurely and elegantly?"
"It's just a few low-level water thieves, so why should I bother, just let the lieutenants dismiss them."
Xue Zaixing blew on the hot steam from the tea cup with a relaxed smile on his lips.
The wording of the previous post was so fierce, why now it has become just a few water thieves? Li Yuanmin has a clear mind. It seems that the scale of the water thieves is indeed not large, otherwise Xue Zaixing would not be so leisurely. It must have been done in the name of crusade to let the court distribute the military expenses in an upright manner. I just don't know if it was Xue Zaixing's idea or the one in the capital.
Li Yuanmin didn't point it out, just smiled and started talking about something else, chatting with Xue Zaixing about some harmless gossip.
After making tea for two hours, a servant came in to report: "Your Highness, you have brought back the ginseng and are waiting in the outer hall."
Why so early
Li Yuanmin frowned slightly. He naturally didn't want Yan Lie to see him pretending to be a snake in front of Xue Zaixing. He put down the teacup immediately and said casually: "Let him go to other things first, I haven't had enough tea addiction yet. Woolen cloth."
The boy was about to answer, but Xue Zaixing stopped him: "Wait a minute."
Xue Zaixing sneered, as if very interested, he said: "I have always heard that the ginseng leader is brave, but I have never seen a real person. Why don't I let the officials meet now?"
Li Yuanmin waved his hand and said: "Where, I'm just a rough and reckless man. I'm afraid I won't be able to get on the stage. It will be bad if I bump into the adults later. It's better to drink tea."
"What are you talking about, Your Highness?" Xue Zaixing meaningfully clicked on the table and stopped him, "The lower official is also a military commander, so could it be that he is also a rude person in the eyes of His Highness?"
Li Yuanmin laughed and cursed a few times, but he was worried in his heart, but he also knew that if he just refused, he would appear guilty, so he put down Yuzhan immediately.
"Forget it, since your lord wants to see him, let Yan Shen lead him in."
After a while, the light in the room dimmed, and a tall and straight man stood at the door. He stood there for a while, and then came in. He was still wearing a suit of armor, apparently just returned from the camp in the outskirts.
Xue Zaixing secretly looked at the person who came. This person has a firm face, an extraordinary bearing, and a strong physique. Although the sinews are not stretched, but the lines are as smooth as cast iron, it is really a good material! He secretly praised in his heart.
Li Yuanmin looked at Yan Lie calmly, his words were quite blunt, and he said arrogantly: "This is your Lord Shangfeng. It is a blessing of your cultivation for several generations to be able to drink tea with you today. Don't just stand there, sit down."
With a calm face, Yan Lie bowed to the two and sat on the other side.
Xue Zaixing didn't come to see him specially today. There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and his attention seemed to return to Li Yuanmin. When we started chatting with him, our words became a little more intimate than before.
Yi Lie at the side seemed like a superfluous character, but fortunately, he was a taciturn person, so he didn't interrupt and just sat quietly at the side.
Li Yuanmin took a sip of tea, and quietly glanced at the man opposite him, feeling a little uneasy.
Xue Zaixing reached for the teapot in front of him, poured out the residue, added new tea, poured boiling hot water, and poured Li Yuanmin a cup of boiling hot water.
"His Royal Highness always deceives me."
"Oh?" Hearing his resentful tone, Li Yuanmin felt a chill on his back, but he still said as he expected: "What are you lying about?"
"Your Highness, do you remember what you promised me?"
Li Yuanmin didn't know what he was planning. He only responded with a smile: "I don't know where I missed something. Please remind me a little bit."
"Tsk, I really don't remember!" Xue Zaixing leaned forward a few inches, his eyes dark.
"His Royal Highness said earlier that he would send you the incense you usually use on a daily basis to Xue, how come there is no sign of it now?"
He moved slightly closer, stretched out his nose and sniffed: "This fragrance is really fragrant and fragrant, which makes people never forget it."
Li Yuanmin didn't know that he did it on purpose. If it was a normal day, he would naturally see him half-truthfully. He could no longer imagine Yan Lie's face at the moment, and he was about to say something to turn the situation around. There was a gust of wind, and Xue Zaixing's shoulders were tightly clasped and pushed away.
"Ariel!" Li Yuanmin stood up in shock.
Xue Zaixing grimaced, and tried his best to block, but the eagle claws on his shoulders did not move at all. After all, he is also one of the best military generals in Bei'an, but this son actually has no room to display his skills, so he couldn't help looking at him in shock and anger.
But seeing the cold expression on the face of the young man in front of him, and the ice in his eyes, which almost seemed to bite people, Xue Zaixing's heart was shocked for no reason, and he sternly said:
"Could it be possible that if you take part in the collar, you can't commit crimes above!"
Li Yuan was in a hurry, thinking that Ye Lie had always been calm when marching and fighting. How could he be so easily provoked at this moment
Can't help but sink his face: "Yi Lie!"
Yi Lie's eyes were blood red, his chest heaved violently, and he slowly let go of his hand. Xue Zaixing was already in a cold sweat, and his shoulders were almost numb from the pain. Just as he was about to attack, Li Yuanmin had already spoken in front of him:
"Come on!"
Two guards hurried in.
"Yi ginseng led the following crimes! Pulled out and beaten with twenty army sticks! Penalized for one year!"
The guard looked at Li Yuanmin, then at Yan Lie, with some hesitation on his face.
"Don't do it yet!" Li Yuanmin said angrily.
The guards finally stepped forward, whispered to Yan Lie that he was offended, and then escorted him and went outside.
Xue Zaixing finally regained his strength, holding back his anger: "Your Highness is quite quick, but are you afraid that if you fall into the hands of this official, you will not get any benefits?"
Li Yuanmin raised his eyebrows, with a bit of anger: "This king's little tricks can't be hidden from the governor. What's the matter, is it possible that the adults will still care about me?"
Xue Zaixing was stunned by his coquettish look, scratching his heart with claws, but he still had a bit of anger, and pointed out: "This ginseng collar is in His Highness's heart...it is not light."
"Of course not light, it can be said to be extremely important." Li Yuanmin's mouth twitched slightly, "He grew up with this king since he was a child, and he taught him everything, and he has always regarded him like a brother."
He looked at Xue Zaixing, lowered his voice, and complained: "This king's siblings, maybe they are not the siblings of the lord, what is the lord thinking about with his siblings!"
Xue Zaixing was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.
