Chapter 541

Yang Jian's health is getting worse and worse, relying on life-threatening decoction to squeeze out his little life potential, so that he will not be tired in bed in the last days, but can have some energy to prepare for the afterlife.

cost? The rest of his life was cut in half.

More than once, Yang Xiusheng wanted to persuade Yang Jian not to fight so hard, but Yang Jian's idea was very simple: rather than lingering on his last breath, it is better to cook fresh with a fire!

This is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, how could he be willing to die on the sick bed?

So even at night, Yang Jian had very little rest. He always refers to the time soaking in the lukewarm soup as "rest", and the time out of lukewarm soup as "my last time".

"Uncle, if there is an afterlife, I think I should be a fish, loach is also fine."

Yang Jian was very happy that he was not alone on the last part of the road like his father. At least he had his uncle Yang Xiusheng to accompany him.

"Afterlife? Maybe, maybe not."

"I hope so."

Such similar conversations gradually increased with Yang Jian's physical condition. Yang Xiusheng's feeling was the most obvious. He even felt that the emperor's eyes gradually became more peaceful.

However, the emperor's eyes became "quiet", and his work style did not change, but accelerated his pace.

Tonight was unusual, because the emperor rarely recruited several high-ranking and powerful ministers into the palace. Just outside the warm soup in Fu'an Palace, they said they were invited to drink.

Unlike ordinary people's table seats, the emperor's invitation to eat and drink is divided into tables. One small table per person, arranged left and right. Directly above is the emperor.

There were not many people, left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng, five ministers, Commander Xuan Qingwei, Wen Mingju, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, and Emperor Yang Jian, there were a total of nine people.

Wen Mingju thought he was the first to arrive, because he came over as soon as he received the emperor's greeting, but he found that there was already one person at the banquet, the commander of Xuan Qingwei, Pang Ban.

"I've seen huge people."

"Um."

Wen Ming calmly sat down according to the eunuch's instructions. I saw a brown earthenware jar on each table, five catties in size, with three big red characters on it: Wuliangye.

When the emperor invites you to drink, he will definitely not serve any kind of wine casually. Either some kind of nourishing medicinal wine, or the best wine. Of course, what kind of wine is actually drunk on this occasion is the most important thing.

Not long after Wen Ming was held up, another person came. Six civil servants headed by Ye Lansheng. Afterwards, the emperor also came out from behind in a suit of ordinary clothes.

Yang Jian sat directly above, Wen Mingju and Pang Ban, the left servants of the Ministry of War, sat on the left hand side of the emperor, and the remaining six civilian officials sat on the right hand side of the emperor.

This is not the usual seating. Because the seating order for meals is generally based on the rule that "the person with the highest position is the top priority, and the senior person with the same level of position is the top priority".

Wen Mingju used to be the guard in front of the emperor. He knew many things in the palace, and he was very clear about the emperor's temper and behavior style. Seeing the posture of sitting opposite him now, he knew that the drink tonight would definitely not be good. It will be easy.

Is this dividing the arena?

Who doesn't know that the civil servants are fighting with Xuan Qingwei these days? Now it is the last day of the five-day deadline given by the emperor to Xuan Qingwei, could it be that they are here to fulfill Xuan Qingwei's statement? But why call him the left servant of the Ministry of War? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with him? Is this why he was brought as a witness?

Wen Mingju secretly figured out the emperor's intentions, but he didn't dare to show the slightest emotion on his face. Compared with these adults present here, he is very clear about his position and confidence.

Wen Mingju knew that if Yang Yansi hadn't been held down by the emperor and he was one of the emperor's people, otherwise, whether it was the Ministry of War or the Grand Council, where would it be his turn to take care of it? Even with so many generals in the army, it is not his turn in terms of seniority. Now just do what the emperor wants him to do, and at least he can have a good death when the emperor runs out of him. Only a fool can do it while being petted and spoiled.

"Ye Xiang, Bai Shangshu, Ma Shangshu"

After the greetings that should be said, even if the other party just nodded and responded, Wen Mingju still greeted him with a smile, as if he was a nice guy. But everyone here knows that this is the royal dog. In terms of level of trust, Pang Ban couldn't compare to this one, and that was the real way to bite whoever was bitten.

"Sit down, today I will invite you all to drink good wine."

Wuliangye. It is indeed a good wine. The taste is similar to the top-quality Shenxian Nong, but the price is much cheaper than Shenxian Nong. It's just not a good buy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the wine!" Everyone bowed and thanked in unison.

"Full!"

Several eunuchs hurriedly poured wine on everyone present. Then the emperor raised the bowl in front of him and said with a smile, "I haven't had a drink with you for a long time, let's finish the first bowl."

"yes."

Regardless of whether the amount of alcohol is good or bad, this first bowl of wine must be drunk.

The emperor's drinking capacity is average, but now that he is old, and his body is pale and flushed with a bowl of wine, it doesn't make his face look good, but looks more sick.

The emperor smiled, turned his head and looked at the civil servants on the right: "What do you love, what do you think of this wine?"

"It's good wine, it's no worse than immortal wine. Thank you Your Majesty for the reward." Ye Lansheng thanked again. I was wondering what the wind was going to be tonight.

"I also think this wine is very good." The emperor paused, and then said: "You may not know that this wine is a specialty of Fengri City, but it is actually backed by Xuan Qingwei, who is a member of Xuan Qingwei. The money bag is used to hide some money and actions. Heh, Pang Ban, I'm not giving away Xuan Qingwei's secrets, am I?"

Pang Ban cupped his hands: "Xuan Qingwei belongs to His Majesty, His Majesty can say whatever he wants, and I don't have any opinions." It wasn't really a secret. The last time Fengri City had a fight with the Song family in the imperial city, the news that Wuliangye was backed by Xuanqingwei spread to a limited extent. The emperor now points out, but he doesn't know what he intends to do.

"It's fine if you don't have an opinion. Originally, if you concealed the wine and didn't report it, it would be considered a crime. Now that you have filed a note, it is considered an open source. I am trying to find a way to add some funds to myself. There is no exploitation, and it will be solved. Many people have food and clothing, very good. I heard that it was the hundred household who investigated the "Masan case" before? Now I heard that it has been promoted to a thousand households?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, that person, Shen Hao, is now the pilot deputy thousand household officer of the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City."

"This time Qin Wenhe's case is also being investigated by him, right? His name is on the file you handed over just now. He is a person who can handle affairs. He can open source and handle cases."

file? What dossier?

Those present here understand that the emperor is diverting from the point. Sure enough, it is related to the Qin family's case. But it sounds like Pang Ban has already reported the case file? Does the emperor know the result?
