Chapter 34 Private Interview in Micro Service [1570 Zhang Yue(1/2)
Chapter 34: 1,570 monthly tickets for private visits on the micro-server
It is definitely not an easy task for the emperor to leave the palace. It will take at least three or five days to check the road conditions in the early stage, the imperial guards clear the road, passers-by avoiding, safety protection, etc., so when Yang Yuanqing asked Yang Guang to go on a patrol in a low-end period, Yang Guang hesitated for a moment.
When he was the King of Jin and the Crown Prince, Yang Guang often went deep into the people to understand the sufferings of the people, but when he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he never left the palace once.
Yang Guang hesitated for a long time. He looked at Yang Yuanqing and slowly laughed, "How long does it take to leave the palace in a confinement?"
"Report to Your Majesty, it will take up to two hours, but it must be top secret."
Yang Guang had a little bit of a poet's romantic temperament in his bones and liked to hunt for curiosity. In addition, he had not been a long time since he ascended the throne and did not care much about the rules in the palace. After he hesitated for a while, he finally nodded and agreed, "Okay! I promised you, I will leave the palace with you now."
He immediately ordered: "Summon General Yuwen to see me!"
After a moment, Yuwen Chengdu quickly walked into the imperial study room. When he saw Yang Yuanqing was also there, he was shocked and thought that the matter of borrowing troops that day had been posted. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See Your Majesty!"
"General Yuwen, I want to go out of the palace secretly. You and Yuanqing should protect me!"
"Your Majesty, this... is a little careless." Yuwen Chengdu breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, I'm so bored in the palace, so don't say anything more."
Yuwen Chengdu glanced at Yang Yuanqing and had no choice but to agree, "I will transfer a carriage."
"Remember, don't tell anyone about my departure from the palace, we all know about the three of us."

After a moment, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly drove out of the Zhuque Gate. The carriage was wide, and Yang Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu sat in the front row, watching the situation on both sides vigilantly.
Yang Guang sat in the back row. He changed into a lilac scholar robe, wearing a flat scarf on his head, and holding a jade Ruyi in his hand, which seemed very excited. In fact, deep down he also longed to leave the palace and walk around, staying in the imperial study and the harem every day. His life was monotonous, and he was a little bored.
"General Yuwen, do you think Yuwen Shu will accept bribes in the martial arts ceremony?" Yang Guang didn't mind Yang Yuanqing's presence and asked Yuwen Chengdu frankly.
Yuwen Chengdu already knew that Yang Yuanqing reported that Yuwen Shu used martial arts to accept bribes. Although he was a fake of Yuwen Shu, he no longer had any good feelings for the Yuwen Shu family. It was because he hated Yu Wenhua that he found a hole to become Yang Guang's guard who was still the King of Jin at that time.
He also knew that the importance of martial arts in the mind of the priest. Yuwen Shu actually dared to tamper with martial arts and accept bribes. It can only be said that he was committing his own fault. He would never want to interfere in this matter, and would not favor Yuwen Shu.
"Report to Your Majesty, I know him a little bit. He is greedy and can be said to be omnipresent. He has recognized three thousand fakes, and basically all of them are rich. The bribes he receives from them are beyond measure. If he has the opportunity to accept bribes from martial arts, I think he will never let them go."
"Three thousand fakes!"
Yang Guang said to himself, but his attention was on the three thousand fakes mentioned by Yuwen Chengdu, and his brows frowned. Yang Yuanqing, who was sitting in the front row, was also paying attention to Yang Guang's words and deeds. He suddenly realized that Yang Guang seemed to be more interested in Yuwen Shu's three thousand fakes than Yuwen Shu's bribery.
"General Yuwen, where are his three thousand fakes?"
"Report to Your Majesty, these three thousand fakes have lasted for more than ten years. If you collect money, you will naturally have to do things for others. As far as I know, except for a few hundred people around him, the rest are placed in the army."
Yang Guang didn't say anything else, and his face was obviously a little unhappy. Yang Guang also knew that the Xianbei people were actually a continuation of the Northern Wei family soldiers. At that time, the major warlords of the Guanlong nobles had tens of thousands of soldiers in their hands. These soldiers gave up their original names and followed their master's surname, which was actually a kind of family slave.
Like Yuwen Shu, his ancestor's original surname was Poye Tou, and he was also a slave of the Yuwen family. He changed his surname to his master. As time goes by, his father Yuwen Sheng and himself become increasingly powerful, he did not recognize the humble status of his ancestors' family slaves, but instead clinged to the Yuwen royal family and called himself a branch of the Yuwen royal family.
In the sixth year of Kaihuang, the late emperor Yang Jian abolished the rude system of family soldiers and ordered all the family soldiers of the family soldiers to return to their original surnames. The family soldiers system gradually disappeared, but the old customs were difficult to change. The Guanlong nobles prospered again and recognized fake children, ranging from a few hundred to a thousand, and raising them as servants became a deformation of the family soldiers. However, the number was small and they did not use military armor like family soldiers. Yang Jian turned a blind eye and ignored this matter.
Now Yuwen Chengdu suddenly mentioned that Yuwen Shu had recognized three thousand fakes, which reminded Yang Guang of this incident again. This was also an old habit he wanted to break. Every household raised thousands of soldiers, and when they gathered, it was a huge number, which was definitely a huge threat.
But what made Yang Guang embarrassed was that these fakes were not adopted in the mansion. Many of them had already entered the army and controlled their military power. This was the foundation of the Guanlong nobles, and it was difficult to touch them.
The carriage was parked at Yang Yuanqing's mansion. Yang Yuanqing returned to the mansion to find Yang Wei. When he learned that he had found the matchmaker, he ordered him a few words, handed him a bag of gold, and returned to the carriage.
"Your Majesty, I need your Majesty to give you a name, just one name."
Yang Guang had already understood Yang Yuanqing's plan, so he smiled and said, "Then the surname is Sui! His name is Sui Guangyang."
Yang Yuanqing got out of the car and returned home again. Yuwen Chengdu whispered to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, is this too tricky? It does not prove that Yuwen Shu has accepted a large amount of bribes?"
Yang Guang smiled faintly and said, "I know, I will tell clearly whether this is just an exception or is it really a large amount of bribery. In fact, I just want to see how they manipulate it?"
After a moment, Yang Yuanqing ran back again, followed by a carriage. His old housekeeper Ding Lu and Ding Lu's nephew were sitting in the carriage. Yang Wei took them to find the broker first.
Yang Yuanqing got on the carriage and smiled at Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, it's already done. Now let's go to the drunken wine shop."
Yang Guang smiled slightly, "It just so happened that I haven't used lunch, so I'll go to the restaurant with you for lunch!"
The carriage started and ran away to the drunken wine shop in Liren City.

The drunken wine shop is a place where Yang Yuanqing often comes to eat. It is also one of the largest wine shops in Liren City. It is quite famous in the capital. The wine shop has three floors, one and two floors, the lobby and ordinary single rooms. It is lunch time and the business is excellent. The lobby on the first and second floors are full of diners, and the noise comes one after another.
The third floor is a expensive room, but it is very quiet. It does not go through the main gate, but comes up from a special staircase next to the main gate. It is luxuriously decorated and very expensive. It is not counted as dining. The room fee is only 50 yuan per hour. Generally, only the powerful and wealthy families in the capital will dine here.
The expensive rooms on the third floor are divided by a corridor, with two elegant rooms on the left and right. Yang Yuanqing asked Niu Niu to book two on the left.
Both elegant rooms are well-decorated. One is called Fuguitang outside, and the inside is magnificently decorated with Persian carpets from the Western Regions, the best golden nanmu couch, white jade screen, golden bowls and silver chopsticks, the window is full of gorgeous Shu brocade, and there are four beautiful drinking maids.
The room inside is called Qingquanju, but it is quiet and elegant, without the decoration of wealth and beauty. It only has two couches and a screen. An incense burner is placed in the corner of the wall, with blue smoke rising and sandalwood filling. There is also a small table beside the window. There is a good guqin on the table, and the wall is full of calligraphy and paintings of celebrities. It is a good place for poets and scholars to drink and chat.
Several maids in Qingquan Residence retreated, and there were only three of them in the room. There were more than twenty plates of specialty dishes from the restaurants on two tables and also brought two pots of high-quality Pujiao wine. Yang Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu sat opposite each other and were eating silently.
Yang Guang was a separate table, but he did not sit by the table, but stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the bustling crowds on the streets of Liren City. The view here is very good, you can see the whole picture of Liren City and the street in front of the restaurant.
At this time, a car rushed from the east and stopped in front of the restaurant gate. Two people came down. Yang Guang's pupils slowly contracted. One of them he knew was Yuwen Shu's third son Yuwen Zhiji. They really came!

Yuwen Zhiji has been busy with martial arts affairs for this period. Of course, Yuwen Shu won't come out in person to collect money. It was handled by his third son Yuwen Zhiji. In the past half month, Yuwen Zhiji has been so busy that he has been lenient and has been lenient. He thought that after the martial arts ceremony began, he could be more relaxed, but today is the second day of the martial arts ceremony, and another big deal is coming.
The person who accompanied Yuwen Zhi and his family, named Bao, was called Bao Sanlang in the capital. He was a famous broker with a wide range of ways and knew many powerful people. He was also Yang Wei's friend. Today, Yang Wei introduced him to a big deal. If he made this ticket, he could get a commission of fifty taels of gold, which made him very moved.
Yuwen Zhiji was also very moved. Someone was willing to pay 500 taels of gold to buy martial arts, which was 10,000 yuan, which made him unable to refuse.
Yuwen Zhiji followed Bao Sanlang to the third floor. At this time, the door of Fuguitang opened, and an old man in gorgeous clothes nodded to them, "Please come here, two!"
Yang Wei had just met this old man and Bao Sanlang, and they knew each other. Bao Sanlang whispered to Yuwen Zhiji: "It's him, the Sui family in Qinghe County."
Yuwen Zhiji nodded, "Let's talk about it when you enter the room!"
Yuwen Zhiji and Bao Sanlang entered the room, and the two maids took off their outer robes. Seeing that there were too many people in the room, Yuwen Zhiji waved his hands to several maids, "You all retreat!"
He has been eating with people for a while and is already familiar with the road. He is very cautious and cautious when collecting money for the first time, for fear of being seen or heard of it. However, he was a little tired and his vigilance was greatly weakened. Last night in the lobby on the second floor, he also collected ten people openly without any hesitation. Today, it was because the amount was too large that he was a little careful.
The four maids retreated, and only the old man and a big man were left in the room. There was a heavy bamboo box at the feet of the big man.
Yuwen Zhiji quickly glanced at the bamboo box, and he immediately judged that the box should be gold, not silver, one thousand taels of silver, and a bamboo box could not hold it.
The three of them sat down, the old man pointed at his ear, smiled apologetically and said, "I am nearly seventy years old and have a little ear. Please speak a little louder."
"This is fine. Is the old man also a member of the Sui family in Qinghe?" Yu Wen Zhiji raised his voice a little and smiled politely.
"In Sui Dinglu, he has always lived in the capital. My elder brother is the head of the Sui family. He has a precious son named Sui Guangyang, who is preparing to participate in this year's martial arts ceremony. However, it was his first time to go out. He was young and fun. He actually forgot to play in Luoyang. He was about to miss the martial arts ceremony, so the old man could only ask General Yuwen to help."
"Of course it's okay to help, but now that the martial arts competition has begun, it's difficult to get people in again, so the price is probably not that cheap, you see......"
Yuwen Zhiji glanced at the bamboo box next to him again.
