Chapter 333 Everything is ready
Wang's side didn't know that Jinlian would be understandable. Although the king's title was not low, he had not been in the officialdom for a long time. What's more, since the appointment of the former emperor Renzong, most of the king's positions were idle positions. Even if he was sent errands, it was only foreign affairs. In this way, he rarely really mixed up in the officialdom, so naturally there were a lot of things. He didn't know it. For example, the Golden Lotus Club. Hearing the king's question, Hou Shuxian pondered slightly: "Your Majesty, did you see the people of the Golden Lotus Club in Manchunyuan yesterday?"
"Exactly, it was the matter that the prince was going to Dali. It was the people of the Jinlian Association who revealed the news to Yang Yizhen. There was a woman named Lin Xiuxiu, who was said to be the descendants of Li Yu and his concubine in the Southern Tang Dynasty. She had always been dissatisfied with the heart of this dynasty, so she wanted to use Yang Yizhen's power to hold the prince hostage."
Hou Shuxian was stunned: "Why hasn't the prince mentioned such a big thing? How did the prince and the prince deal with Lin Xiuxiu?"
Wang shook his head: "I didn't think about how to deal with it at that time, and I saw that the prince had pity for Lin Xiuxiu. Besides, what great things can these women who have no power to tie chickens can achieve? Last night, in front of Yang Yizhen, I couldn't say that Zhao Yu was the prince, so at that time, I just asked Lin Xiuxiu to borrow the power of the lotus association to help me investigate. As long as they are no longer enemies of the court, I think I can find a way to solve this matter.
"Oh, oh." Hou Shuxian frowned. He shook his head gently, thinking that it was a little inappropriate for the prince to do this. It was a big deal to assassinate the prince. What's more, Hou Shuxian knew not only what the king knew. "Your Majesty, if you do this, you are not afraid that others will pretend to be public for personal gain and take the prince's safety as a joke."
The king didn't think about this question. He smiled and said, "Mr. Hou, this Jinlian will certainly not be as simple as Yang Yizhen said. Li Yu's descendants are nonsense. If that's the case is the case, it's too late to hide his identity. I doubt that they claim that it is just to test the bottom line of the court. And Lin Xiuxiu is definitely not the helmsman of the Golden Lotus Club. I think there are other things behind it.
Hou Shuxian nodded: "Your Majesty, I'm not sure what the specific background of Jinlian will be, but it's not what Yang Yizhen said..."
"Oh." Wang raised his eyebrows and listened carefully,
"The prince, in the Song Dynasty, there were official prostitutes, also known as prostitutes. They belonged to the imperial court workshops, the forbidden army, and local official offices. They coached and performed songs and dances. When there were celebrations hosted by the government, there were usually official prostitutes present to perform, welcoming new officials or receiving past officials, so that officials feasted, and often called them to accompany the banquet, or Singing and dancing to cheer up.
Wang scratched his head, and he had some impression in his heart. Every time he went to the reception, he sometimes had songs and dances to cheer him. He said that on the day he first arrived in Yongzhou, there was also a performance of singers and dancers in the banquet in the royal palace. He was usually relatively numb to these things, and he thought it was similar to the so-called "textual troupe" and so on. What about the group,
Hou Shuxian continued: "As far as I know, official prostitutes are specially set for the court. There are large families who copy their families and prepare for prostitutes, and some have been trained as prostitutes since childhood. Official prostitutes are not just beautiful. In order to meet the needs of civil servants, all official prostitutes, they can write poems, calligraphy, piano and painting, and the Golden Lotus Club, which has emerged in recent years, is specially trained. ** It is not known who will run the clubhouse of official prostitutes, but Jinlian will send a lot of women of the right age to the teaching workshops in various places, and once these official prostitutes are old and young, Jinlian will also be responsible for recall and resettlement.
This is a little interesting, which is a little equivalent to a prostitute training school, but these official prostitutes rely on the Golden Lotus Club. Even if the so-called "retirement" returns to the Golden Lotus Club, they will take advantage of their opportunities to perform in official camps or contact officials in accompanying attendants to get a lot of information, thinking The king nodded and smiled: "I understand, no matter whether what Yang Yizhen said is true or not, even if I give Jin Lianhui a favor, and at the same time, I have left a fake handle for personal gain. Mr. Hou, is this what you are worried about?"
Hou Shuxian nodded hurriedly: "Exactly."
"That's not just right. I'd like to see who is behind this golden lotus meeting. Ha ha, thank you for reminding me..."
Hou Shuxian shook his head, stood up and said helplessly, "Oh, my lord, you are really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. Why don't you have anything to worry about? You can be happy first. I'll do something..." With a salut, he shook his head and walked out of the hall,
Looking at his back, Wang was in meditation. If it was really like Hou Shuxian's words, the background of the Golden Lotus Club could not be peeped. But since there is such a background, how could she tell Yang Yizhen about the prince's trip? She remembered that Lin Xiuxiu last night, a brothel woman, soon calmed down after experiencing a sudden change. If, I'm afraid that the things in this are really not as simple as they seem,
The king made up his mind. I'm afraid he had to start this matter from Lin Xiuxiu. Things always had to be done one by one. The king took a deep breath and looked up at the hall. There were only a few bodyguards standing outside the door of the hall. There was no one else on the hall except himself. He stood up, and a maid came in and asked, "The princess asked the king. Will you go back to your house for dinner?
"No, take lunch to the study." The king said and walked out of the hall to the study behind him. It was almost noon. The weather in July and August was a little hot. In addition to hearing the sound, the whole palace was particularly quiet. The king's study was in a courtyard to the east of the garden. The bodyguard at the gate of the courtyard saw the king's respectful salute, and the king nodded to the main room. Go,
There are three north rooms in the front of the courtyard. There are two ear chambers, and the corridor between the main room and the ear chamber is connected. At this time, there was a person sitting in the corridor in front of the ear chamber. Seeing the king entering the yard to greet him, he asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, you are back. What do you want me to do today?"
The speaker is Jia Xian. Yesterday, I heard that he could come to the royal palace to work with the king. The boy was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night. He came to the royal palace early in the morning,
Wang saw Jia Xian sitting in the corridor waiting for himself, so he asked, "Why are you here?"
Jia Xian said naively, "Brother is ordered to study. I'm afraid of disturbing him, so I'm sitting here waiting for your order."
Brother, Wang was a little surprised. He looked at the ear room. The people in the room had heard someone talking outside and opened the door. At first sight, it was Cai Jing standing awkwardly at the door. Wang side smiled. He knew that Jia Xian must have misunderstood that Cai Jing was also his own student, but Wang side also guessed that Cai Jing must have put something else. The old man beside the king is stinky,
"Yuan Chang, you can settle down Jia Xian's residence first, and then let him listen to him in the study."
"Yes." Cai Jing bowed his head and replied,
The two looked at Wang and entered the study. Jia Xian came to Cai Jing's side. Without waiting for Jia Xian to speak, Cai Jing said with a straight face, "Do you hear me? Master asked you to listen to me in the study. If you don't understand anything in the future, ask me first."
"Ha ha, okay, brother, take good care of me."
Cai Jing looked at Jia Xian. The two people were about the same age. He was very happy to hear Jia Xian call himself like this. However, Jia Xian dared to make comments to the prince, and he did not dare. This made Cai Jing a little envious, and he heard that Jia Xian's accounting was very good. Cai Jing was really worried about the king in the future. With Jia Xian, he didn't pay attention to himself. He took Jia Xian outside and said as he walked, "In the future, if you have any more comments with the prince, you should also ask me first. Also, I heard that you are very good at accounting."
"Where, I'm all carving tricks, or my brother's knowledge and words are excellent. I'm out of reach." Jia Xian said what he was saying from the bottom of his heart, but he also talked about Cai Jing's heart. Then he relaxed and took Jia Xian out: "I'll take you to see the princess first, and then let the sage of the inner house settle down for you."
As soon as the two walked to the garden, they saw Zhang Ping coming towards them with a man. Cai Jing immediately threw down Jia Xian and greeted them: "Brother He, you're back."
"Haha, yes, Yuan Chang, why is your stomach round again? Have you eaten a lot of delicious food here?" When impeachment saw Cai Jing, a foodie, he couldn't help pating Cai Jing's stomach and joked with a smile.
"No, you don't see that the prince has arrived in Yongzhou. You don't have time to cook delicious food, let alone us. He is busy every day. By the way, the prince is in the study. I'll take you there." He said excitedly following the impeachment. Zhang Ping went back to the courtyard of the study and put Jia Xian aside again.
Impeached Libo to say that he was not an outsider to Wang, and the house also knew that this was Wang's brother. Zhang Ping knew that Wang had finished his business. At this time, he had gone to the study and hurriedly took him to see Wang. Cai Jing's greeting followed the two people's intimate appearance, which made Jia Xian really envious. At the same time, he didn't know where to go. He had to follow behind and return to the courtyard of the study. He saw three people laughing and entering the study. Jia Xian had to sit under the porch and wait for Cai Jing to come out. When can he think of Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang to become the right-hand man beside the prince?
Jia Xianxin took Cai Jing as a benchmark and sat in a daze in the corridor. The king in the study just sat down in front of the bookcase. There were rolls, documents and letters on the neat code on the bookcase. The top one was a home letter from the capital. When he just passed the garden, Wang also remembered the scene of the children in the capital playing football in the garden. Although the royal palace in Yongzhou is richer than the royal palace in the capital, it lacks the bustle and vitality of the capital. I especially think of the little guy Tong Guan. I don't know how the child's studies are. He was about to open the letter when he heard the laughter in the yard. During this period, it was mixed with the bright voice of impeachment.
At the time of the discussion, Wang Bian also told Mr. Hou that when the impeachment came back, he almost left by himself. The impeachment Libo really couldn't help talking. Wang Bian stood up and greeted him: "Brother He, you're finally back."
"Hey hey, isn't it? Let me tell you, this time I brought back not only the Korean merchant ship, but also the Japanese slaves and Ryukyu. All I have left to worry about is how your field in Yongzhou is going. If our first shot is fired, foreigners will come to Yongzhou to do it in the future. Business, then Yongzhou is very lively.
Wang Zan smiled and let the impeachment bowl into the study. "Haha, Brother He came back just in time. Everything is ready in Yongzhou, and it's just your east wind."
