Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 261 Spirits Are Poisonous (Fifth)

Tian Bao gulped down a bag of water to relieve his parched throat.

He slowed down and let out a long breath:

"The governor, the soldiers in the old camp have been doing nothing these days. Before I came back, I bribed a servant.

Every ten days, they went to the Red Gate Fort and secretly traded with the Mongols outside on a small scale. "

"How was the training?"

"I don't practice very often. It depends on Tian Zhao's mood. Maybe I will come to a training session when I feel cold."

"Ah."

He Jinzhao took two steps: "How is the spirit of the soldiers and civilians in the fort?"

"It hurts to be idle, strolling all over the street, either throwing dice or visiting prostitutes." Tian Bao burped:

"Tian Zhao has always been respectful to the commander-in-chief, but he regards the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town as something in his pocket.

This time Zhang Honggong was imprisoned, and the position of Shanxi General Soldier has been vacant. He is bribing courtiers with some money, and there must be many people who will speak for him. "

He Jinzhao snapped his fingers suddenly.

A flash of light appeared.

After gaining a firm foothold in Hequ, do I want to find a white glove?

After all, I want to build infrastructure.

The ministers of the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties were all "officials advance with wealth, and government is accomplished with bribes."

Wei Zhongxian appointed the eunuch Zhou Yingqiu as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and openly demanded a price according to the size of the official position. He got 1 taels of bribes every day, and he was called "Sunday Wan".

Although the eunuch party fell from power, this trend will not be extinct in a short while.

When I arrived in Chongzhen, some people said: Bribery is so prosperous, it is not like this day.

There is a rumor in Beijing that 'white turns yellow, yellow turns white'.

Officials bribed with silver at first, then gold, and then shiny pearls.

At that time, the officialdom was just like a satirical poem posted on the gate of Chang'an:
"The governor is even in the car, and the court is fighting in the capital. Good officials take exams at night, but beauty is lacking in businessmen."

Before using an official, bribe first, both civil and military are average.

Officials with money go to the vacancies, and officials without money either stay or are sent to dangerous places, such as Liaodong, turbulent Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places.

"My lord?" Ji Gui, the dog-headed military strategist, called out, "It's time to eat."

"Yeah." He Jinzhao put away this thought, and we'll talk about the white gloves later.

Tian Hu didn't get much sleep, one was worried that the people who entered the old camp this time would be a mixed bag, not all under his command, drinking would easily cause trouble.

The other was worrying about whether He Jinzhao's team could reach the Great Wall of Laoyingbao smoothly.

Laoyingbao is surrounded by mountains and rivers, guarding the main waterway traffic, and before it was built, I asked a Fengshui master for a survey, and I heard that Fengshui is very good.

In the end, Tian Hu only slept for two hours. The next day, exhausted all over his body, he led soldiers who were good at drinking to transport wine to the old camp fort.

Fortunately, Tian Zhao is a good drinker, and Tian Hu's trip can be considered normal, this time He Jinzhao specially gave him a small jar of spirits.

The high-grade alcohol extracted is not much used to disinfect the soldiers under his command, mainly because food storage is the first.

The distance of sixty miles, hurry up and hurry up, and it is barely reachable before dark.

Tian Zhao is preparing to eat, and invites some singers to come to cheer.

Never thought that Tian Hu would come in person.

Tian Zhao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this kid's gourd, so he sent someone to let him in.

"Come on again, sir." Tian Hu greeted Tian Zhao:
"Yesterday, the hammer bandits retreated, but the villain has never led an army alone, that's why he behaved so badly. In the future, I hope the master will practice more with the villain."

Hearing these words, Tian Zhao felt a little better.

Who doesn't want to be the chief soldier?
The deputy chief soldier, always a deputy, was overwhelmed by others.

Tian Zhao also knew that once the imperial court appointed him, he would have the final say on the Great Wall stretching thousands of miles in Shanxi.

Brother Tian Hu came to curry favor, but it was normal.

In the past, they all followed Zongbing Zhang and looked down on me as the deputy Zongbing. Now they know that it's too late to burn incense and worship Buddha!
"Master, I found a small altar of spirits from the general's mansion, and I know I'm not blessed to enjoy it, so I beg you to appreciate it, I heard it's extremely strong."

Tian Hu took a small jar of alcohol from his subordinates and held it above his head.

"What kind of liquor, have you ever drunk it?"

Tian Zhao originally wanted to ridicule him, but when he heard that there was good wine, he said disdainfully, and immediately sent someone to bring it over.

When he opened the stopper himself, he felt the strong smell of alcohol when he smelled it, so he immediately poured himself a small bowl.

Tian Zhao took a sip of wine, but before he swallowed it, his esophagus turned red immediately, and his whole body was covered.

Then it sounded like being poisoned, ah ah ah.

One couldn't hold back and lay directly on the ground.

Even though it is not so pure because of the equipment, the alcohol used for disinfection is not for drinking.

Anyone who drank a small bowl would be overwhelmed.

The servant at the side saw the general master's painful expression, and immediately shouted: "This wine is poisonous!"

"poisonous?"

Tian Hu was dumbfounded.

He never expected that He Jinzhao would let him give him poisoned wine.

He deserved to be a rebel, and he was so cruel that he even plotted against himself.

Before Tian Hu yelled that my life was over.

Then he was pinned to the ground by several servants, forcing him to ask for an antidote.

"Damn it, hand over the antidote, or I will tell you to live or die."

Tian Hu was trampled on the face by the servant's black boots, with the tip of the knife pointed at his eyes.

As for the confidant behind him, he was directly stabbed to death and fell to the ground, dying with regret.

The smell of blood immediately spread in the hall.

"This wine is not poisonous!" Tian Hu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let me take a sip if you don't believe me."

"Master! Master!"

"It's okay." Tian Hu finally got over his breath and laughed loudly:

"It really is strong wine. I have never drunk this kind of strong wine in my life. This wine has been preserved for at least 30 years. I almost drank it to death."

All the servants present breathed a sigh of relief, their prosperity and wealth rested on Tian Zhao, so it was their turn not to be nervous.

As for Tian Hu, he was also let go, but a big footprint was stepped on his face just now.

Tian Zhao's servant didn't care about Tian Hu's confidant, he just died, even if it was a misunderstanding, so what?

Tian Hu's forehead was on the ground: "Master, this villain really doesn't know how strong this wine is. I have never drank it before, so I have absolutely no intention of harming Master."

He said this on the lips, but he was relieved in his heart.

It's not that He Jinzhao wants to deceive himself, but that this wine is really fucking good.

Almost killed himself!

"Well, you have a heart."

"Master, my subordinates have followed me for many years, can I put him in a side room first, and I will take him home for burial tomorrow."

Tian Zhaoxiao knew that he had killed someone because of a misunderstanding, so he ordered:

"Put this brother's body in the side room, find a good coffin, and pay ten taels of silver for the funeral."

"Yes." The servant at the side went down to make arrangements.

Tian Zhao saw that Lie Xin was happy, and this Tian Hu recognized the situation he would face in the future, so he asked him to have dinner together.

"I won't give you this strong wine, I'm afraid you'll drink it to death, hahaha." Tian Zhao took a sip slowly.Show a comfortable look:

"I heard you sent a lot of good wine?"

　Thanks to the fainted Bird of Paradise for sponsoring 5000 taels of silver.
