Chapter 166: Meet the Queen

Captain Ye entered the gate and saw that Yang Ze was still there, and shouted: "Fortunately, Lord Yang, you are still here, so I won't be able to go to your house to find you again. Your Highness the Princess wants to see you, so you can go to the princess's mansion with me!"

I'm going to see me again so soon. It seems that the eldest princess is quite concerned about this case. However, is the position of general who will be in charge so important? It doesn't seem to be an important position!

Yang Ze followed Captain Ye and went to the princess's mansion for the second time, but this time he didn't take a detour and got on the horse and trot. It took a short while to arrive.

When he entered the princess's mansion, he saw that the eldest princess was wearing court clothes and seemed to be going out. The eldest princess still looked kind-hearted, but when she saw that the words Yang Ze Hou said were not kind at all.

The eldest princess said, "How is the matter done? Yu Wenwuluo is planning to leave!" She used a positive tone, not a questioning tone, and it was obvious that she was quite confident about Yu Wenwuluo's escape, or she already knew that Li Zhenglong had gone to find Yang Ze. Since Li Zhenglong came forward, it means that Yu Wenwuluo knew the seriousness of the matter and naturally he was about to retreat.

Of course, Yang Ze would not try to cover up the things that could not be covered up, and there was no need for this. He said: "When you go back to your highness, the King of Linzi went to find the lower official just now, and he took Yu Wenwuluo with them. They expressed their willingness to give up the position of general as the chief general, but hope that the matter can end here."

The eldest princess sneered and said, "Just be tactful. So, how did you scare them?"

Yang Ze said without thinking, "The officials did not scare them. They arrived first, and the officer Ye arrived later. When the officials were talking to the officer Ye, they hid in the side hall. They all heard how the officer agreed to the officer Ye. They understood that the officer was standing on the side of His Highness, so they retreated in the face of the difficulties!"

The eldest princess looked at Yang Ze, nodded, and said, "Li Zhenglong is going to find you. Gu already knows it. You are wise, not smart, and loyal to Gu. It's good to do this. If you don't ask about the process, you will be the result."

Yang Ze thought to himself: "It turns out that the paper can't keep the fire. Fortunately, you only need the result, otherwise it would be quite brain-struggling for me to make up a process!"

The eldest princess patted Yang Ze on the shoulder and said, "Your official uniform is made overnight. You don't have to wait for the Ministry of Personnel to do it for you. Yu Wenwuluo was too busy with his own affairs and hoped that he would do it for you. Then you have to wait. The official uniform is here. You can change it, go to the palace with Gu and meet the emperor. Tell the emperor what happened!"

Yang Ze was stunned. He was about to see Queen Dugu, and he was not ready yet! He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, let the officials say this case again, so as not to say the wrong thing by then."

The eldest princess snorted and said, "If you still say the wrong thing in such a simple thing, then you... I believe that you know what to say and what not to say."

This sounds like what I was trying to scare Wang Jiu! Yang Ze had no choice but to say, "Yes, the official understands, the official will change his official uniform!"

A little eunuch brought his official uniform, and Yang Ze changed into the fifth-rank official uniform, which fits very well. It was like a tailor specially made for him.

The eldest princess took Yang Ze out of the house. Yang Ze couldn't bear it and asked, "Your Highness, is it important to be a supervisor? According to the officials, isn't it just to be used as an official uniform or a seal or something, at most it is to make some utensils used in the palace. Although the general's official name sounds good, he is just a craftsman, right?"

The eldest princess suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Ze in surprise, saying in surprise: "Do you don't know what you are going to be a prison? Do you really think that the general of the prison is just a craftsman?"

Yang Ze was a little embarrassed and pretended to be very modest and studious, saying, "Xiaguan just came to the capital and didn't know much about the responsibilities of each yamen. Please teach me!"

The eldest princess was still surprised. She looked at Yang Ze and said, "Even if you just came to the capital, you must not know what the general is doing for the jail!" However, she still told Yang Ze what the general is doing for the jail, and that the general is not the leader of the craftsman.

It turns out that the jail office is a very important department. At least in the era of the Dafang Empire, it is a very important department. It is in charge of the construction of all public facilities in the empire, and also in charge of palace buildings, the production of gold, jade, pearls, jade, rhinoceros treasure vessels, grosgrain embroidery, and the official offices for making various unusual tools. It is even in charge of the development of new weapons, such as improving bows and arrows, how can a sharper sword and gun be forged? From this point of view, the jail office is a bit similar to a modern technology research institute, and of course it is just the most initial prototype.

Of course, the eldest princess would not explain in such detail. She just told Yang Ze that it is very important to be a supervisor. Because she is in charge of the manufacturing of architecture and luxury goods, she will always receive a large amount of funding. It is enough that she said this, but she didn't tell Yang Ze even more deeply.

But Yang Ze understood as soon as he heard that the department of supervision can almost be said to be rich. Whoever controls this department will of course have more funds, and can also raise funds through suppliers, such as kickbacks, etc. Of course, this is not called kickbacks these days, it can only be regarded as a benefit fee, or birthday gifts, etc. In short, it is easy to make money in this department.

Yang Ze thought to himself: "It seems that it really takes money to become a prince. The company princess has to make money, but can the queen not know if she does this? If the queen knows, her prince will be even more unlikely to get it. But from another perspective, if she has no money to do business, the prince will be directly impossible. If she has no money to win over the alliance, why are you going to do it?"

The eldest princess sat in the imperial carriage. Yang Ze looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh. She was so old and still thought about the current queen, so she didn't feel tired.

Walking towards the palace, this time the eldest princess did not take a turn, and soon arrived at the palace gate. The eldest princess got off the imperial carriage and asked Yang Ze to wait at the door. She went into the palace alone to meet the Queen Dugu.

When the guards at the door saw Yang Ze coming again, they changed the clothes of civil servants. They were still very enthusiastic and invited Yang Ze to the guard room. The guards who were not on duty rushed forward and asked Yang Ze about the Yuwen family. There was no secret in the capital, let alone the major affairs of the Yuwen family. They all knew about it and wanted to know the specific situation very gossipedly.

Of course, Yang Ze would not tell the truth. He could only tell the sin of feudal arranged marriages and expressed sympathy for the dead Yuwen Baoxuan. The guards had nothing to do with them, but just listened to the excitement, sighed at Yuwen Baoxuan's "experience", and added his imagination to the completeness of what happened in the new house at that time. All the details were as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes. And as more and more guards came to listen to the excitement, various plots became even more magical. Even the conversation between Liu Ruyan and Yuwen Baoxuan at that time were supplemented.

Just as the talk was so intense, an eunuch came inside and asked Yang Ze to go to the palace to pay homage to Queen Dugu. Yang Ze immediately stood up, tidied up his clothes, and followed the eunuch into the palace.

Halfway through the way, Yang Ze took out a handful of golden seeds from his arms and stuffed them into the eunuch's hand. He asked with a smile: "How dare you ask what your father-in-law calls me?"

This eunuch is just a little eunuch in the palace. Although he is not the lowest level, he is not a person. He suddenly saw Yang Ze giving him a handful of golden gourd seeds. His hands trembled and almost dropped the golden gourd seeds to the ground. He had never charged such a heavy travel fee!

The eunuch said, "Our surname is Guo, and I am working in the Tinghan Hanlu Palace. Lord Yang, you are so polite. I heard from the people in the palace that you are promising and generous. When you see him today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation!"

Yang Ze smiled and said, "My father-in-law praised me, how can I be that good at the lower officials? By the way, I wonder what happened to the emperor summoning the lower officials?"

Eunuch Guo said, "It's nothing. It's just that the emperor has heard about Yuwen's affairs, so he wants to summon you in and ask. You can just answer truthfully then!"

He pinched the golden gourd seeds, and was satisfied. He quickly put them in his arms. He felt that so much gold was not enough. He said again: "The emperor is not in a good mood today. Lord Yang must be careful. Well, also, I heard from Mrs. Han that you know medical skills. If the emperor asks, just tell the truth. Don't brag. If the emperor wants to compete for you, you will be exposed at that time. The emperor doesn't like slick people the most!"

Yang Ze said: "The officials never brag. Mrs. Han is General Han's mother, the one who used to be a female official in the palace?" He remembered that he had cured Mrs. Han. At that time, Mrs. Han could not walk without holding anything in her hand. After curing her illness, she also gave herself a jade gourd.

Eunuch Guo nodded and said, "That's right, Mrs. Han is in the capital and often goes to the palace to talk to the emperor. She mentioned Lord Yang and praised you for your excellent medical skills!"

Yang Ze said oh, and suddenly said, "The emperor only announced the official to go in after seeing the eldest princess? Then what did they just talk about?"

His questioning method was a bit like exploring the secrets in the palace. Eunuch Guo took the initiative to tell him that it was okay, but if he took the initiative to ask, it would not be in line with the unspoken rules in the palace.

Guo Nei hesitated slightly, and did not directly answer Yang Ze's words. Yang Ze immediately took out a handful of golden seeds from his arms, pulled Eunuch Guo's hand, and stuffed it in.

Eunuch Guo swallowed, and the money was given to him. It was not a secret anyway. Just say it. He said, "The emperor and His Highness the Princess just talked about the recurrence of the case. Maybe you ask Lord Yang, you go in, just ask this!"

This is very important information. Yang Ze immediately knew how to deal with the Queen Dugu when he met her later. He stopped asking Eunuch Guo, walked down and organized language in his heart, thinking about how to say that the case would happen again.

After walking for a while, he came to a palace. Eunuch Guo said, "Sir Yang, please wait a moment, and our family will come in and report it to you." He said that.

Yang Ze stood outside the palace gate, looking at the yard while relaxing. Although he had experienced a lot during this period, meeting the queen was a big deal and he had to be treated with caution. This was related to his future glory and wealth. He would eat meat or drink porridge in the future. It all depends on what kind of first impression he could leave for Queen Dugu today.
