Chapter 3 Self-determination(2/2)

Only then did everyone in the palace feel completely relieved.

After all, Zhao Jiu had just returned from a long journey, so after asking two questions that could no longer be postponed, he asked about the process of institutionalizing the Sanshefa, gave some instructions to the ministers, and finally announced the dissolution of this organization.

'Welcome'.

But everyone dispersed, and the prime minister Lu Haowen, who did not participate in the discussion during the whole process, was invited to the harem alone by the chief commander Lan Gui.

In this regard, the ministers had no words... After all, he was the prime minister, with a transcendent status, and it was not a sensitive period at this time. The position of the prime minister had been handed down, and there were no allusions to single-handedly and against each other.

It's nothing more than a routine question for officials to express their kindness to senior and important ministers.

And sure enough, when everyone dispersed, Zhao Jiu was waiting in the small pavilion of the harem. When he saw Lu Haowen, he stood up to greet him and asked directly outside the pavilion: "Ms. Lu, why do I always feel that the atmosphere in the palace is not right today?"

"When I reported it back to the officials, I thought it had multiple causes."

It was a crisp autumn day. Lu Haowen's eyes moved over the yellow flowers around the pavilion, and then he raised his head slightly. He saw a row of wild geese above his head walking south. The prime minister raised his head and thought about it seriously, but unexpectedly did not hesitate.

"A story about the official's victory over Yaoshan and his return from shooting a vulture shocked the country, and the civil and military officials were in awe. Although several months had passed, the official in Kansai had already adapted to it, but for the civil and military officials in Tokyo, it was the postwar period.

It’s the first time I meet an official, so I can’t help but feel a little nervous..."

Even though Zhao Jiu knew he shouldn't get carried away, he couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"Secondly, the officials have made a large-scale change of prime ministers, and there is no doubt that they intend to reform the political situation. They don't know the officials' intentions, so they can't help but wait and see." Lu Hao asked, taking his time and clasping his hands to each other.

Zhao Jiu was thoughtful and his smile faded somewhat.

"Three things," Lu Haowen sighed slightly. "Officials should not analyze the matter of the Goryeo envoy and Nianhan in public in the court today... it is inappropriate."

Zhao Jiu finally frowned: "Of course I know that these things are too careless, but it concerns the enemy and ourselves. Isn't it wrong to use military tactics to deal with each other?"

"I didn't say that the official's handling of these two matters was wrong." Lu Haowen remained calm. "But since it concerns the enemy and ourselves, why can't we summon the prime minister, the Privy Council, and the generals in the imperial camp to discuss it alone? The official, Jin

People are cruel and barbaric, and everyone in the country knows it. In this extraordinary world, the ministers and others do not require officials to be saints, but even if they are emperors, they are as important as Mount Tai.

...and today it must be both civil and military, and it must be listed in the Wende Hall!"

Zhao Jiu fell silent, and Lu Haowen also stood with his hands tied, silent. Lan Gui had already begun to count his heartbeats, but after counting to a hundred, Zhao Guanjia finally spoke: "What Lu Xianggong said is absolutely true.

I'm in a hurry!"

Lu Haowen looked calm, but Lan Gui was obviously relieved first.

"Is there anything else going on with the official family?" Lu Haowen nodded and continued to inquire.

Zhao Jiu hesitated for a moment, but he was honest: "I originally wanted to tell Mr. Lu some old things, but as Mr. Lu reminded me, I was a little too impatient. Let's talk about it in two days..."

Lu Haowen finally stopped laughing, but took two steps back and bowed his hands: "The officials have worked hard to stabilize the country and have been gone for half a year. It's time to rest early."

Zhao Jiu said no more, but directly sent the other party out of the harem area, and asked Lan Gui to follow him. Just when he turned around, he saw Feng Yi waiting behind him early.

"Did Concubine Pan send you here?" Zhao Jiu came up to ask.

"Yes." Feng Yi bowed his head.

"Is it Concubine Pan who arranged all the chrysanthemums beside the pavilion?" Zhao Jiu continued to stand and face each other.

"It was Mrs. Pan who gave me the gift." Feng Yi responded immediately. "But it was not with public money. It was sent by the family members of wealthy families and dignitaries who returned to Yangzhou... They came to the palace to pay homage to Mrs. Pan, and when they saw this

It was ruined, so he took the initiative to collect money and sent many flowers and furniture to the palace."

Zhao Jiu nodded: "I am going to see Pan Fei now. I will accompany her from now until tomorrow. But before I go out to do things tomorrow, you must send back all the things you have given me. Whoever dares not to accept it will be punished by you."

Carry it to his home in person... Do you understand?"

Feng Yi was startled for a moment, then nodded immediately.

"That's right." Zhao Jiu turned around and walked a few steps before looking back. "Don't touch the furnishings in Concubine Pan's house... You might as well go to Concubine Wu's house to ask for money and give the price to those people at a discount! Tell Wu Guozhang,

Just say that I don’t take his money in vain. The ‘Lanqiao Fengyue’ brewed by his family will be the national wine from now on. From the moment I entertain the Korean envoys, I will use his wine.”

Feng Yi was startled again. It took him a long time to turn the corner, and then nodded, but Zhao Guan's family had already walked away with his hands behind his back.

ps: Lanqiao Fengyue is indeed the brand wine of Wu Yu’s family in history... The Song Dynasty’s wine franchise lies in the monopoly of distiller’s yeast. Anyone can make their own wine after buying the distiller’s yeast. It was at that time that dignitaries brewed their own wine and formed a brand.

A strong proof of the developed commodity economy... During the Huizong period, the trend was the most prosperous, and the number of wine brands was the most, but it was basically destroyed by Jingkang. After the Southern Song Dynasty, it was rare, but Lanqiao Fengyue still appeared, which shows the financial resources and power of the 'Pearl Wu' family
