I am a boss in the Three Kingdoms [System]

In late spring and March, it was cloudy and rainy.The dense drizzle fell on the pedestrians, casting an indescribable feeling of depression on them.

Guo Jia's mood is also very gloomy.

He hadn't had a good bowl of wine for three whole months.

During this period of time, he ran all over the capital, just looking for a bowl of decent wine.However, I don't know if it's because the wine brewed by Mi's house has raised his requirements for the taste. He couldn't finish all the wine in one sitting!

He even finished tasting the wineries in Beijing and China: the one in the west of the city tastes too sour and cannot be tasted at all; But there was no aftertaste at all; the one in the east of the city...forget it, he ate a fly in it.

I really want to drink Mi Mansion's fine wine again!

However, when he returned to the Mi Mansion, the servants who served him would not listen to his appeal at all, and would only hand him a bowl of hot pure milk.

Guo Jia's heart was full of longing, and he sipped the sweetened milk with sugar, staring at the wine cellar with narrow and narrow eyes, and after a little thought, he had a plan in mind.

He found Zhao Yun privately, and asked with a smile, "Young Master Yun, have you ever eaten grapes?"

Zhao Yun glanced lightly at Guo Jia, but ignored him.

Guo Jia shook his feather fan lightly, and described the taste of the wine in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, this wine is sweet and astringent at the first taste, and it doesn't leave a mouthful after tasting the astringency. There is good wine in the cup, but there is no dust in the chest!"

Zhao Yun: "..."

He was reading the book seriously, but in his mind he recalled the two grapes he ate when he followed Mi Ren to Jingluo last year.

Those were grapes transported from Mien's vineyards in other counties, and it was extremely difficult to deliver them to Jingluo.Mi Rian gave most of them to these diners, letting them all have a taste.

The two large bunches of grapes obtained were fully ripe at the time.Grab one at random, wash it with clean water and tear it lightly, you can easily peel off the layer of black and shiny grape skin wrapped on it, the attractive fruity aroma comes out, and the rich juice also flows down .

Swallowing it in one bite, the right amount of sourness came flooding in, followed by the sweetness that completely covered the sourness, so delicious that Zhao Yun almost swallowed it with his tongue.

One can imagine the taste of fine wine made from such delicious grapes.

Guo Jia was talking to himself, and saw Zhao Yun holding the book of military art tightly with both hands, with an unprecedentedly focused and serious expression, and smiled slightly.

This man, his ears were pricked up, and he swallowed subconsciously, and he still pretended to be so innocent.

Seeing that the teasing was almost done today, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, it turns out that Mr. Yun is reading a book, I'd better not bother you, and leave."

He said, got up and left.

On the second day, he found Zhao Yun again, and described the good taste of white rice wine.

On the third day, he found Zhao Yun again, gave him the best wine he had found in Beijing recently, and then smiled and said: "My lord's wine is a hundred times more delicious than this wine!"

fourth day...

"...You are enough," Zhao Yun said indifferently, "I don't drink."

"Ah, so that's how it is," Guo Jia was still smiling, without any disappointment on his face, "Jia is bothering you these days, please forgive me, Mr. Yun."

After he said this, he didn't come to look for Zhao Yun the next day.Not only that, but he never came to Zhao Yun to discuss fine wine again.

Zhao Yun, who was completely aroused by greed: "..."

In April, the imperial court received news of the rebellion of the Liangzhou army.Liu Hong was naturally furious, and dragged his sick body to hold a court meeting.

Situ Cui Lie said: "Your Majesty, the treasury is currently empty, and our army has no spare power to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou. Therefore, I believe that Liangzhou should be abandoned and let the rebels occupy it."

As soon as these words came out, countless courtiers responded.

Only Yilang Fu Xie said sharply: "Your Majesty, I believe that the world will be stable if Situ is beheaded!"

Hearing this, the whole court was shocked.

Cui Lie was taken aback even more.He stared at Fu Xie fiercely, and blushed furiously: "Why did Yilang have such a sinister idea? Could it be that the Liangzhou Rebellion was instigated by Weichen?"

Mi Ren glanced at Situ who had taken office after Yang Ci's resignation, but said nothing.

In fact, this new Situ also bought the official position with the help of Liu Hongfu's mother, Mrs. Cheng, after selling the official porridge and spending a total of 500 million yuan.

——After all the officials were required to pay the "palace repair money" last year, the sale of official porridge in the court became more and more rampant, and even the Sangong clearly marked the price.The original price was 1000 million, but Cui Lie only bought it at half the price. Liu Hong regretted it a few times and lamented that it was too cheap.

Probably because of buying an official position, he felt that he had a common topic with Mi Eun, and often went to the Tianshijian to chat with Mi Eun.The euphemistically called "talking about political affairs" is actually asking him for a way to reverse his reputation.

You must know that there are no less than 30 officials who have entered the court by buying officials, but only Mi Guoshi is not harmed by it, and is respected by the world instead.If he can learn a little bit, wouldn't he also be able to enjoy the praise of others?

Although all the deeds of Mi Guoshi have been spread throughout Jingluo, countless scribes have written articles and praised him, and he has read a lot of them, but there must be unknown reasons for Mi Guoshi to be so respected by the gentry!

Mi Yan naturally knew his purpose, but guessed from his few words that this person's political views were at odds with her, so she took it lightly.

Seeing today, it really is the case.

The officials who supported Cui Lie quickly argued and argued with Fu Xie, and the whole court was in an uproar, which was a headache.

Liu Hong re-photographed the case in front of him, and threw several memorials on the leaders: "Shut up!"

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were silent like cicadas.

Since suffering from a serious illness at the beginning of the year, Liu Hong's health has not improved, but worsened, and his temper has become more irritable.

He glanced at the courtiers with sinister and ruthless eyes, finally took a deep breath, and fixed on Mi Yan who was leaning to the side: "Mi Aiqing, tell me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mi Yan bowed and said, "I think Fu Yilang is right."

He said lightly: "Liangzhou is the main route between my Han Dynasty and the western countries, and it is responsible for the important task of guarding the border. When Gaozu pacified the world, he ordered Li Shang to occupy Longyou; when Emperor Wu opened up the territory, he also established Wuwei and Zhangye. , Jiuquan, and Dunhuang counties, thus cutting off the right arm of the Xiongnu attacking my big man.【1】”

"Today the rebels conspired to abandon Liangzhou, and let the Hu people occupy the area to grow livestock, with strong soldiers and horses, and solid armor; tomorrow Wuhuan invades, and then abandons Bingzhou and Youzhou, and it will be stable overnight."

"When the Xiongnu and Wuhuan were not satisfied with the northern lands and sent their troops southward, how could the imperial court still have the frontier terrain to resist their attacks?"

His words were loud and resonant, which made the officials who were wavering before feel at ease.

As for Cui Lie, who was refuted by Mi Yan, his face was pale and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.

Most of the officials who supported Cui Lie before had an ugly look on their faces: "Master Mi has a good opinion, but now that the treasury is empty, where does the food and grass come from?"

Mi Ren said: "Share it from the palace repair money."

He didn't care about the expressions of the officials, and said slowly: "Your Majesty ordered the collection of the palace repair money, originally for the construction of the sacrificial hall, but now four full months have passed, and the West Garden has not even collected all the materials."

The eunuch in the West Garden jumped out with sweat profusely: "Your Majesty, Master Mi's words are wrong!"

They argued: "It's not that I didn't collect all the materials, but the wood sent by all the states and counties is all substandard, and it can't be used to build the temple!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, using such inferior materials to build the palace, wouldn't it also offend the gods?"

But Mi Yan was unmoved: "Dare to ask Mrs. Huang, are you proficient in building palaces?"

He saw a few people dumbfounded, and said calmly: "Whether the timber sent by the states and counties is suitable for the construction of the palace is not for me to wait for laymen to decide, but it needs to be determined by specialized craftsmen after calculation."

"Your Majesty, I implore you to send craftsmen to measure the wood and stone materials. If there are no problems with these materials, then thoroughly investigate the West Garden. I suspect that they deliberately prevent you from building the temple and maliciously delay your prayer to heaven for peace. "

"It's not certain," he said lightly, "The reason why Liangzhou raised troops is precisely because the heavens punished them."

Hearing this, the servant in Ximen's middle suddenly became so weak that he couldn't stand up.

These days, Mi Yan didn't care about the money for repairing the palace. They thought that this person didn't want to care about it. How did they know that today he actually took action against them, and even blamed them for "blocking the emperor's construction of the temple of worship" !

The few people couldn't argue with each other, so they could only collapse on the ground, yelling injustice on the grounds that there were problems with the materials.

This time, Liu Hong was silent for a long time.

He finally agreed to Mi Ren's suggestion to make a thorough investigation of the eunuch Xiyuan who was involved in this matter.He also ordered Huangfusong to lead the troops to Liangzhou, and united with the prefects of the Liangzhou counties to fight against the rebels.

After settling this important matter, Liu Hong was about to leave the court when a courtier came forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Liu Hong signaled him to say, and he heard the man say:

"Your Majesty, a large part of the reason why Qin lost the world was Hu Hai's chaotic government. Now your heirs are scarce, and you have not established a crown prince, so that the whole court is not united. I implore your majesty, to make the crown prince the crown prince. There will be no future troubles."

It's the rest day again.

When Mi Yan returned to the mansion, Xun Yu was writing letters to the merchants under Mi Yan's command in the study.

Previously, with the burning of the palace in the first month and the re-promulgation of the money for repairing the palace, the corruption of officials in various states and counties became more and more serious, and Xun Yu's face became more and more cold.

He had already resigned before leaving Jingluo to go back to the Yingchuan family, so the money for repairing the palace could not be spent on him.However, during this period, all the properties under Mi Ren's command were thoroughly investigated by the prefects of various counties, and they were punished for the whole year's income of the previous year for various reasons.

Xun Yu didn't know how long this matter would last.The Yellow Turban Army has just been quelled, and now the common people can't stand the slightest twists and turns. I don't know if the flames of war will reignite.

He remembered the child who was eaten by the unscrupulous victims back then, his eyes were red staring at the document, and he said angrily, "How long will it take for His Majesty to stop such extortionate behavior?"

At the beginning, because of the famine, there were many mourners outside the capital.And the current situation is much better than before.

It was just an irresistible natural disaster, but this time it was a disaster completely created by the emperor!

He held back the tears that were about to fall: "Can he go out of the palace to have a look—to see what the world is like today because of one of his unrealistic orders?!"

Mi Yan didn't like his uncomfortable appearance, so he hugged him to comfort him: "There will be a solution, Wen Ruo."

Now he finally understands why there are so many obsessive people—the one he loves has such an expression, he really wants to hold the best things in front of the other person's eyes to win a smile.

Xun Yu shook his head, blinking away the unshed tears in his eyes: "There will be a solution. It's just that during this period, the people are really suffering."

It was painful for the nobles of the gentry to pay the money for repairing the palace, but this did not hurt their fundamentals, and they could live on.

But what about the people?

After experiencing famine and war, the common people finally had the autumn rice and agricultural tools promulgated by Mi Ren as hope, thinking that they could store more food for their livelihood, but they never thought that these food had not even been planted, and some people were greedily staring at it. Watching them, ready to take their hope away!

How innocent is the world, how innocent are the people? !Although the purpose of the Yellow Turban Army is impure, what he has done to the people is completely better than the current imperial court!

Mi Yan looked at the anger on his face, and sighed: "If you want, I can speed up our plan."

The sooner things are done, the people in the world will also be able to avoid one day of suffering.

Xun Yu froze for a moment: "...speed up?"

"En." Mi Ren said, "It's just that you may have to pay more."

He has □□, which is his biggest trump card and his last resort.The only problem is that the preparation of this thing is simple, and some people will always think of this from the explosion of the alchemy furnace.

If he becomes the target of public criticism, the princes and gentry from all walks of life will definitely do everything possible to pretend to submit to him and steal his formula.Once leaked, there will be a crisis of rekindling the flames of war, which may cause even more heavy casualties.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, he does not want to be given the name of the rebel army, and be attacked by various princes in the name of the Qing emperor.

Xun Yu knew that he had some secrets that could not be revealed to the world yet, so he shook his head after all: "Since Zisu didn't do this, he must have serious scruples."

"I hope Zisu can calm down the chaos sooner, but I also know that you will think about everything before you enter Beijing." He stared at Mi Yan, his eyes full of trust, "Just follow Zisu's idea, Don't be in a hurry."

Mi Yan held his hand and smiled slowly: "Okay, I understand."

The words stop here, there is no need to say any more.

Mi Yan turned her head to look at the dark night outside the window, raised her eyebrows and joked, "I don't know if our little mouse has successfully stolen the beloved wine?"

It was late at night.

The sky is full of stars and quiet, it is time to sleep soundly.

The whole Mi Mansion fell into a warm tranquility.Only the relatively remote wine cellar is still a little lively.

The door was opened with a creak, and a sneaky figure escaped from the wine cellar, quickly blended into the night, and returned to Zhao Yun's courtyard after a while.

——That figure is exactly Zhao Yun.The one waiting in the courtyard was Guo Jia.

That's right, he successfully persuaded Zhao Yun to steal wine with him.

For today's plan, he specially went outside to find someone to order a set of dark blue night clothes, so as to ensure that he could act in the dark without being easily noticed.After several times of probing and probing, they finally stole the key model from the attendant in charge of the warehouse, and secretly made one.

This time, they took advantage of the dead of night to steal a bottle of wine, and after the two shared it equally, they sat on the roof to enjoy the happy time.

The time when they made the key was unfortunate, and it was a holiday in the elapse of time.It is also true that Guo Jia deliberately chose this day to steal wine with Zhao Yun in order to secretly provoke Mi Yan.

Don't ask, if you ask, you will fall quickly, an unprecedented fast fall!

Hey hey hey hey!

The two sat on the roof, drinking wine heartily.Perhaps this is fine wine that was stolen by all means, and both of them felt that the wine tasted particularly mellow and rich, like fine nectar and jade dew.

Guo Jia took a sip and sighed: "Ah, this is the best wine in the world, completely better than Du Kang!" What has he been drinking these days, and how did he drink it!

...Oh no, since he came to Jingluo, he never drank a jug of wine, he just spit after a few sips.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia became a little annoyed: it's all because of their lord Mi Een!If he hadn't hanged himself on purpose, how would he need to get rid of such things as stealing wine!

Zhao Yun, who had finished a small pot of wine, nodded heavily.

It is indeed a very delicious wine, no wonder Guo Jia misses it so much.

It seems that after...

At this moment, a gentle voice like a breeze suddenly came to mind from below: "It seems that the two young masters are quite satisfied with the wine in the house."

The smile on Guo Jia's face gradually disappeared: "..."

With a shake of his hand, the white porcelain wine bottle that he had just taken a sip of fell to the tiles with a bang, and Gululu rolled down the roof and landed on the lawn below.

Among them, all the wine was sprinkled on the tiles and dripped down along the eaves.

A scream suddenly sounded in the quiet night: "Ah—my wine!"
